Foucault

Foucault 1.1.

Francuski mislilac Michel Foucault osobita je pojava u povijesti suvremene sociologije i filozofije društvenih znanosti. Iako je živio razmjerno kratko, ostavio je brojna djela. Foucaulta se često ubrajalo u pripadnike tzv. strukturalističke škole, od čega se sam distancirao. Ipak se ne može poreći da ga povezuje mnogo toga sa strukturalizmom, i to osobito misao koju je isticao Levi-Strauss, a to je „nestajanje subjekta“ kao premisa filozofskoga i znanstvenog mišljenja.

Za Foucaulta su glavni predmet istraživanja zgusnuti načini djelovanja i mišljenja, koje treba promatrati odvojeno od mislećih subjekata. Te „strukture“ treba otkrivati poput arheologa, odbacujući velike sheme evolucije koje smatra „glomaznim

Monteskje

Monteskjea treba posmatrati kao sljedbenika klasične antičke filozofije, koja polazi od toga da je čovjek društveno biće te da mu je osjećaj za moral urođen. Prema njegovom učenju, čovjekom upravlja nekoliko činilaca: klima, religija, zakoni i primjeri stvari koje su prošle.

Njegovo najznačajnije djelo je O duhu zakona. U tom djelu on nastoji pružiti prikaz poredbenog prava, navodeći mnoštvo različitih zakona i pravnih običaja iz raznih zemalja. Ujedno je to djelo posvećeno pravnoj historiji, pri čemu se posebno osvrće na rimsko pravo te na razvoj francuskih pravnih ustanova.

Proučava državne oblike koje razmatra kao idealtipove. To su republike, monarhije i despocije. U današnje vrijeme ovakvo mišljenje se karakteriše... Continue reading "Monteskje i pravna antropologija: pregled ključnih ideja" »

Core Learning Strategies

Cognitive Strategies

Cognitive strategies involve perceiving patterns, reviewing (memory), problem solving, and concentrating.

Socio-Affective Strategies

Socio-affective strategies include adapting to new ideas, embracing difference, persevering, taking risks, working with others (in pairs or groups), being aware of others' needs, and being open to new ideas.

Meta-Cognitive Strategies

Meta-cognitive strategies consist of knowing about knowing, being in control of your own learning, learning how to learn effectively, and knowing how and when to apply your knowledge.

Core Concepts of Motivation in Learning

Key Theories of Motivation

Behavioral Definitions

Motivation is defined as “the anticipation of reinforcement.” Human beings pursue a goal because they perceive a reward for doing so. This reward serves to reinforce behavior, causing it to persist.

Drive Theory

Those who view human drives as fundamental to behavior claim that motivation stems from basic innate drives. Innate predispositions such as exploration, manipulation, activity, stimulation, knowledge, and ego enhancement act to probe the unknown, control our environment, be physically active, be receptive to mental, emotional, or physical stimulation, and build our self-esteem.

Hierarchy of Needs Theory (Maslow)

Motivation progresses from the satisfaction... Continue reading "Psychological Theories of Motivation and Effective Child Pedagogy" »

Prototypical Cases of Ironic Interpretation

The following principles describe the relationship between utterance processing, contextual information, and the identification of ironic intent:

1. Uttering an ironic utterance is not a condition for the hearer to access information from different contextual sources and infer the ironic intention. The hearer can infer intention even before the utterance has been spoken.
2. Complete processing of the utterance is not a condition for accessing the ironic interpretation. Sometimes, the ironic interpretation is obtained even before the utterance has been processed completely (i.e., before all the words have been identified).
3. It is not always necessary to process completely the explicit information contained in

Common Types of Figurative Language

Figurative language allows speakers and writers to communicate meanings that differ in various ways from what they literally say. People speak figuratively for reasons of politeness, to avoid responsibility for the import of what is communicated, to express ideas that are difficult to communicate using literal language, and to express thoughts in a compact and vivid manner.

Figurative means that words are used in a way that is different from the usual meaning. That way, the description is more interesting or impressive. Figurative language creates a picture in your mind.

For example: "He is about to explode!"

We do not mean to say that the man will actually explode. We only want to say that he is extremely angry.... Continue reading "Common Types of Figurative Language and Their Meanings" »

Cognitive Principles in Learning

Cognitive principles relate to mental and intellectual functions, influencing how we learn and process information.

Automaticity: Developing Fluent Skills

Automaticity is the ability to perform tasks without conscious thought, allowing actions to become automatic response patterns or habits. It typically results from learning, repetition, and practice.

• Overcome the propensity to pay too much focal attention to the bits and pieces of language; move language forms quickly to the periphery by using language in authentic contexts for meaningful purposes.
• Grammatical explanations or exercises dealing with usage have a place in the adult classroom, but avoid overwhelming students with excessive grammar.
• If learning processes
