Overview of Selected Research Results Year of publication: 2008 Author: Angela Kühner | Phil. C. Langer | Robert Sigel The original title: Ausgewählte Studienergebnisse im Überblick(Einsichten und Perspektiven, Bayerische Zeitschrift für Politik und Geschichte, 1(8), pp. 76-82)The article deals with the results of a pilot study carried out in Bayern, which focuses on the subjective experiences and representations of teachers and students from a social-psychology perspective. The research questions: How does the educational situation reflect remembrance today? How do teachers and students interpret situations of “Holocaust Education,” and what feelings do they report? The study carried out qualitative interviews with students and their teachers, and analyzes the pedagogical setting of history classes in secondary schools. Intercultural and intergenerational dimensions are also analyzed. The authors conclude that both sides, students and teachers, show a high degree of interest to the topic, but also a tendency to Selbst-Überforderung ; thus, concrete possibilities and spaces for self-reflection about their own feelings and conflicting pedagogical aims must be recognized and supported.

“Why Do We Have to We Apologize for It All the Time, We Can’t Help it”: History Education between Memory-Pedagogy Challenges and Fantasies about Effectiveness Year of publication: 2006 Author: Matthias Proske The original title: “Wieso Müssen Wir Uns Jedes Mal Wieder dafür Entschuldigen, Wir Können Doch Gar Nichts Mehr Dafür”: Geschichtsunterricht zwischen Erinnerungspädagogischen Herausforderungen und Wirksamkeitsphantasien(Widerstand sachunterricht, 7, pp. 1–10)Against the background of public expectations on the schools’ history education, the article connects a theoretical analysis of the changes in the German historical culture and their consequences for history education about the Holocaust and Nazism with a discussion about how students and teachers take on these themes in educational practice. This is exemplified with a case study from a 9th grade history class. The above abstract is taken from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Education Research Project.

The Clandestine Schools in Ecuador. Roots of Intercultural Indigenous Education Year of publication: 2015 Author: María Isabel González Terreros By the mid-twentieth century in Ecuador, indians implemented clandestine schools to teach their people. Those schools were persecuted and harassed by landowners, who did not see pertinent that indians were educated. This was a pioneering, innovative and different project. Pioneer because it is the first known project with these features in Ecuador; innovative because it was leaded by Indians who took their cultural background to school (such as the teaching of ancestral language and some knowledge about nature and territory); and different because it was a proposal contrary to the homogenizing and assimilationist education that the Nation-state was implementing in rural areas. That proposal was led by Dolores Cacuango, a Quechua Indian who was subject to the hacienda system (in which communities did farm work for the employer, in exchange for a piece of land to live in with their families). She, who suffered injustice and had no chance to go to school, insisted that children and young people should "learn letter" (that is, they should learn Castilian). Las Escuelas Clandestinas en Ecuador. Raíces de la Wducación Indígena Intercultural Year of publication: 2015 Author: María Isabel González Terreros A mediados del siglo xx en Ecuador los indígenas implementaron escuelas clandestinas para enseñar a los suyos, escuelas que fueron perseguidas y hostigadas por los hacendados que no veían pertinente que los indígenas se educaran. Se trató de un proyecto pionero, novedoso y diferente. Pionero porque es el primero que se conoce con estas características en el Ecuador; novedoso porque fue dirigido por indígenas que llevaron los saberes culturales a la escuela, como la enseñanza del idioma ancestral y algunos conocimientos sobre la naturaleza y el territorio; y diferente porque fue una propuesta contraria a la educación homogeneizante y asimilacionista que el Estado-nación implementaba en zonas rurales. Esta propuesta fue dirigida por Dolores Cacuango, una indígena kichwa que estuvo sometida al sistema de hacienda, en el que las comunidades realizaban trabajos agrícolas para el patrón a cambio de tener un pedazo de tierra y vivir con sus familias. Ella, que vivió la injusticia y no tuvo la posibilidad de ir a la escuela, se empeñó en que los niños y jóvenes “aprendieran letra”.

The Teacher as a Promoter of the Pedagogy of Coexistence for Education for Peace Year of publication: 2014 Author: María Elena López Serrano | Rosa María Medrano Domínguez | Patricia Villar López Corporate author: Universidad Católica Silva Henríquez Recognizing the diversity in the aulic space allows to create spaces of harmonious coexistence that promote and accept interculturality, for this the teacher becomes the nodal axis to propitiate the conditions that allow the students to recognize themselves as equal beings capable of developing their capacities to the maximum academic and personal. To achieve this goal it is essential that the teacher recognizes himself and others, in such a way that generates spaces in which students identify as social beings able to interact with their peers, the educational community and their environment. What has been described here supports the proposal of the pedagogy of coexistence in the aulic space as a promoter of education for peace that contributes to the reduction of the violence experienced in society. The proposal is based on a documentary research on the pedagogy of coexistence linked to diversity and interculturality to promote education for peace. The proposal recognizes the teacher as the axis that drives education for peace through fostering harmonious environments in the classroom. It is not possible to speak of harmonic coexistence without considering the teacher's awareness of his role as a social educator, which promotes through Pedagogy of Coexistence an intercultural education that attends to diversity and that favors education for peace and contributes to the decrease of cultural violence. El docente como promotor de la pedagogía de la convivencia para la educación por la paz Year of publication: 2014 Author: María Elena López Serrano | Rosa María Medrano Domínguez | Patricia Villar López Corporate author: Universidad Católica Silva Henríquez Reconocer la diversidad en el espacio áulico permite propiciar espacios de convivencia armónica que promuevan y acepten la interculturalidad, por ello el docente se convierte en el eje nodal para propiciar las condiciones que permitan a los estudiantes reconocerse como seres iguales capaces de desarrollar al máximo sus capacidades académicas y personales. Para conseguir este objetivo es fundamental que el docente se reconozca en sí mismo y en los demás, de tal forma que genere espacios en el que los alumnos se identifiquen como seres sociales capaces de interactuar con sus pares, con la comunidad educativa y su entorno. Lo hasta aquí descrito sustenta la propuesta de la pedagogía de la convivencia en el espacio áulico como promotor de la educación para la paz que contribuya a la disminución de la violencia que se vivencia en la sociedad. La propuesta se sustenta en una investigación documental respecto a la pedagogía de la convivencia vinculada con la diversidad e interculturalidad para promover la educación por la paz.La propuesta reconoce al docente como el eje que impulsa la educación por la paz a través de propiciar ambientes armónicos en el aula. No es posible hablar de Convivencia armónica sin considerar la conciencia del docente respecto a su rol como educador social, que promueve a través de la Pedagogía de la Convivencia una educación intercultural que atienda a la diversidad y que favorezca la educación para la paz y contribuya a la disminución de la violencia cultural.
