Selecionamos como objeto de análise o conceito educativo, ou seja, a organização metodológica do conceito científico de gênero textual no processo educativo, tendo a mediação dialética como categoria de análise, segundo a “Teoria Pedagógica da Metodologia da Mediação Dialética M.M.D.” que fundamenta a perspectiva ontológica da atividade educativa (ARNONI, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018). Elegemos como objetivos: estudar os fundamentos ontológicos da linguagem, em especial, sua natureza social que reflete as relações sociais e veiculam o efeito das lutas sociais, numa sociedade organizada em classes sociais; compreender a linguagem das crianças como diversificação de gêneros textuais que expressam a natureza social de seu cotidiano; analisar a apresentação de gênero textual no livro didático (LD). Em relação aos gêneros textuais, apontamos os limites dos exercícios do LD, os quais dificultam e cerceiam a compreensão conceitual das crianças e apresentamos a proposição teórico-metodológica da M.M.D. como possibilidade do professor estudar e desenvolver o conceito científico de gênero textual, resgatando as ideias iniciais que os alunos trazem deste conceito, via linguagem cotidiana, valorizando-a (RESGATANDO), para, então, elaborar a questão problematizadora, pautada no conceito científico ...

We selected as an object of analysis the educational concept, ie the methodological organization of the scientific concept of textual genre in the educational process, with dialectical mediation as a category of analysis, according to the “Pedagogical Theory of the Methodology of Dialectic Mediation MMD” that underlies the perspective. ontological analysis of educational activity (ARNONI, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018). We chose as objectives: to study the ontological foundations of language, especially its social nature that reflects social relations and convey the effect of social struggles in a society organized into social classes; understand children's language as a diversification of textual genres that express the social nature of their daily lives; analyze the presentation of textual genre in the textbook (LD). Regarding the textual genres, we point out the limits of the exercises of LD, which hinder and limit the conceptual understanding of children and present the theoretical-methodological proposition of M.M.D. as a possibility for the teacher to study and develop the scientific concept of textual genre, rescuing the initial ideas that students bring from this concept, through everyday language, valuing it (RETURNING), to then elaborate the problematizing question, based on the ...

The aim of this thesis is to map the role of a regional museum in art education. Based on my own experience as a museum education officer I have tried to describe the context of the development of an educational policy of a small museum. By comparing three examples of different educational programmes with clearly stated goals I arranged some participatory active research in which I took part and which I observed. Through analyzing these individual cases and comparing their partial aspects it came to light how beneficial it is for the museum's education officer to participate in developing and arranging the exhibition. Furthermore, these cases prove the point that museum-school communication is of vital importance and the programmes that had been discussed with teachers beforehand reach further and are more meaningful than programmes without consultation. Art education in a regional museum is irreplacable. Not only does it allow contact with the artefacts peculiar to the place where the student/client of the museum lives, but it also brings the possibility to practice other than just rational ways of thinking and perception. It has the capacity to reach out of its own bracket and become an interdisciplinary subject.

The central aim of my thesis is to compare the objectives of the concept of Waldorf education since the foundation of the education until the present time. At the beginning the thesis deals with Rudolf Steiner, who founded thiseducational system almost one hundred years ago. Here its aim is to represent the basic ideas of Steiner, which later served as a basis of Waldorf education and became popular worldwide. Development of Waldorf schools worldwide, especially in the Czech Republic, is another part of the thesis. Furthermore, I compare the aims of Waldorf educational concept at the beginning and today. I describe changes that have occurred mainly in the Czech Republic, but I could not omit changes abroad. In my thesis I try to capture the positives and negatives of Waldorf schools compared to traditional schools.
