Research of Secondary Analphabetism in the Slovak Republic (Status - Contexts - Perspectives)

Project implementation period:

01/16-12/18

Status in the project: 

Co-researcher

Brief characteristics of the project:

The project is aimed at developing an assessment of the level of secondary analphabetism in the Slovak Republic in the field of conventional and unconventional types of political participation through hierarchical forms of participation. The aim is to develop theoretical and methodological bases for the study of secondary analphabetism in politics in the interdisciplinary framework of philosophy, political science, public policy and public administration and sociology with regard to selected areas of socio-political life through: 1. Civic participation, 2. Political participation, 3. Socio-demographic differentiations. The aim of the project Research on Secondary Analphabetism in the Slovak Republic is to begin to fill the gap in research on the declining interest in public affairs. And also to begin to uncover the political and sociological causes and contexts of this state of affairs. The ambition of the project researchers within the secondary analphabetism concept is to analyse the state of secondary analphabetism and its impact on political processes in the Slovak Republic and to develop a theoretical model for the assessment of secondary analphabetism and recommendations for its elimination in the conditions of the Slovak Republic.

The project proposes to investigate the correlations between the deformations of political consciousness and the rise of political extremism among young people in the Košice and Prešov regions, together with proposals for measures to eliminate them. The methodological basis of the research on the above mentioned issue will be the stages of political consciousness, which have been theoretically elaborated by Professor Marcela Gbúrová. The project should be a continuation of the research on secondary analphabetism in the Slovak Republic carried out between 2016 and 2018 (VEGA No. 1/0658/16), in the framework of which the concept of individual stages of political consciousness (insitic, instructed, professional, theoretical) was introduced in more detail.

Instrumentalisation of Historical Events as a Subject of Recodification Schemes in Political and Propaganda Practice in Slovakia after 1989 (Selected Aspects of Ethnic Relations)

Project implementation period:

Status in the project:

Project leader

Brief characteristics of the project:

The aim of the project is to carry out political science and historical research on the instrumentalisation of selected historical events with a focus on some aspects of ethnic relations in Slovakia. We will investigate their use as a tool of politics (governmental, party, regional) in political and propaganda practice in Slovakia after 1989. In particular, the researchers will examine the interpretation of historical events in the context of significant events in domestic (elections, changes of governments, ethnic political parties) and foreign politics (Slovakia's accession to the EU and NATO, the war in Ukraine). The research team will examine the way in which these historical events are instrumentalised, commemorated and used in politics (governmental, party, regional) and the role played by the interpretation of historical events and their commemoration (monuments and memorials, public rallies, political conflicts).

Internationalisation, Innovation and Modernisation of a Modular Education in Political Science

Obdobie realizácie projektu:

Status in the project:

Project leader

Stručná charakteristika projektu:

The main goal of the project is to internationalise, innovate and modernise the education in political science at the Faculty of Arts of UPJŠ and in order to adapt to the new forms of teaching- to at the same time complement the classical forms of teaching with new educational approaches. The aim of the project is to reform the teaching process (both the content itself and the ways of teaching) of the study programme in political science, which, through the module Theory of Politics and the newly created module International Relations within the Bachelor's and Master's degree programme, allows students to focus on a more narrowly defined area of political science research through the selection of classes within the module. The goal is thus to modernise the teaching of political science using interactive and e-learning tools, but also to prepare new electronic educational tools, such as textbooks for selected classes, which are offered to students within the newly created module International Relations. The aim of the project is also the internationalization of an education process by lectures of foreign and domestic experts, that will offer new knowledge and skills to students. The aim of the project is also to modernise the teaching of Erasmus students/foreign students using interactive and e-learning tools, as well as the preparation of electronic educational tool - a teaching text for Erasmus students/foreign students. The experience of the project researchers in solving problems and preparing textbooks within the KEGA, RIFIV and IRES projects is a guarantee of the fulfilment of the project objectives and success.
