充分发挥革命纪念馆在社区教育中的作用——南京梅园新村纪念馆社区教育研究

创建学习型社区是一项系统工程，需要社会各方面尤其是驻区单位的广泛参与、智力支撑。作为国家大力扶持发展的公益性化教育机构和传播精神明的窗口，革命纪念馆更是贵无旁贷。梅园新村纪念馆作为玄武区的一个驻区单位，多年来一直积极配合区里开展一系列富有创意的、生动活泼的社区教育活动，并与玄武区共同创建了南京首家“社区学习中心”，走出了一条“以革命纪念馆教育辐射社区教育”的路子。此次调研，我们运用献、网络等方法，搜集、整理国内外与该课题相关的理论；运用调查研究、实证研究等方法，探索、总结梅园新村纪念馆充分利用本馆资源优势和特点为国民终身教育创造条件，推进学习型社区发展的模式。这对提升社区整体水平、公民素质，无疑起到了积极的促进作用。     

Histories of Romani Education in Slovakia: A Kazamian Perspective

Using the critical work of Andreas Kazamias on the history and methods of comparative education as conceptual framework, we investigate the education (over a 200-year period) of the Slovak Roma. We position our story as paradigmatic of the dual processes of enlightenment and obscurantism with which we are familiar in thinking about the history of racial violence. The article describes the encounter of a young British doctor, Richard Bright, with Roma and Slovaks in 1814, and explores the Enlightenment thinking about Roma in specific, and race in general, in Bright’s travelogue. We juxtapose these historical investigations with qualitative findings from research conducted recently in the same region of Slovakia. Our goal is to show that Kazamias’s calls for a return to the historical in educational research, and greater attention to the “paideia of the soul,” have relevance in considering the discouraging past and present of Roma in Slovak schools and society.
