Bioethics and bioethical sensibility are terms that we encounter more and more often in recent times. Under these terms, social opportunities are processed, analyzed and commented on from a moral, ...scientific and religious perspective, as well as from the perspective of human rights and life in general. In order for members of society to be able to actively participate in such analyses, comments and discussions, it is necessary to develop personal opinions on bioethical issues, and this can be achieved through adequate education, especially at university level when critical thinking competence is sufficiently developed to reach your own conclusions. This paper analyzes and presents the views on the need for bioethical education among doctoral students of interdisciplinary doctoral studies at the Faculty of Education in Osijek.
The teaching process at all levels of education is most often focused on teaching past and present events, and very little is focused on teaching for the future. First of all, it means anticipating ...positive social and professional scenarios that young people may encounter in the future. By anticipating their future social and professional role, young people are more successful in preparing for the challenges that await them in the near and/or distant future. Curricula from different scientific fields are more focused on the past, to a less extent on the present, and do not leave enough space for various forms of visioning the future and projection of acquired knowledge and skills in future events with the aim of thinking and developing the future. Futures studies research methods are a recent term in pedagogical methodology (especially in the Republic of Croatia). In the Republic of Croatia, futures studies have recently been increasingly used to research the issue of upbringing and education (Dubovicki, 2017; 2018, 2019, 2020). There are many futures studies research methods, and this paper deals specifically with future biographies as a form of visioning the future. All these methods can be directly implemented in the teaching process and in all school subjects. This paper describes the methods, ways and objectives of implementing future biographies in the subject Croatian language and literature with a described example of good practice and student's work.
Pojavom pandemije COVID-19 u proljeće 2020. čovječanstvo se našlo pred potpuno novim izazovom - kako reagirati i ponašati se u doba pandemije. Odmah na početku pandemije pojavile su se mnogobrojne ...teorije zavjere kojima je primarna svrha unijeti nemir i strah u javnost. Globalno je počela utrka za razvojem uspješnog cjepiva koje će okončati pandemiju. Zahvaljujući ogromnom trudu velikog broja znanstvenika i desecima milijardi dolara javnog novca uloženih u istraživanje i razvoj cjepiva, krajem 2020. i početkom 2021. počela je kampanja cijepljenja širom planeta. I prije početka kampanje cijepljenja počele su naveliko kolati teorije zavjere koje su dovodile u sumnju učinkovitost cjepiva. Ove teorije zavjere imale su velik učinak na spremnost na cijepljenje jednog dijela javnosti te su oblikovale njihova mišljenja i stavove. Teorije zavjere, s obzirom na njihovu štetnost za zdravlje ljudi, te činjenice da direktno produžuju trajanje pandemije i pridonose nepotrebnom umiranju od koronavirusa, predstavljaju prvorazredno i aktualno bioetičko pitanje. U radu ćemo prikazati navedene tvrdnje teoretičara zavjere, njihov utjecaj na građane Hrvatske te motive zbog kojih gotovo polovina hrvatskih građana oklijeva ili se uopće ne želi cijepiti.
With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020, humanity faced a completely new challenge, how to react and behave in the time of the pandemic. At the beginning of the pandemic, numerous conspiracy theories emerged whose primary purpose was to bring unrest and fear to the public. Globally, the race has begun to develop a successful virus vaccine that will end the pandemic. Thanks to the tremendous efforts of a large number of scientists and tens of billions of dollars of public money invested in vaccine research and development, a vaccination campaign across the planet began in late 2020 and early 2021. Even before the vaccination campaign began, conspiracy theories began to circulate widely, questioning the vaccine’s effectiveness. These conspiracy theories have had a significant effect on the willingness to vaccinate a section of the public. Conspiracy theories regarding their harmfulness to human health, and the fact that they directly prolong the duration of a pandemic and contribute to unnecessary death from coronavirus, are a first-rate and current bioethical issue. In this paper, we will analyse the stated claims of conspiracy theorists and their impact on Croatian citizens and the motives for which almost half of the Croatian citizens hesitate or do not want to be vaccinated at all.
Bioetika i bioetički senzibilitet pojmovi su s kojima se u novije vrijeme sve češće susrećemo. Pod tim se pojmovima obrađuju, analiziraju i komentiraju društvene prilike iz moralne, znanstvene i ...religijske perspektive te perspektive ljudskih prava i života općenito. Kako bi članovi društva mogli aktivno sudjelovati u takvim analizama, komentiranjima i raspravama, potrebno je razviti personalna mišljenja o bioetičkim pitanjima, a to je moguće postići adekvatnim obrazovanjem, posebno na sveučilišnoj razini kada je kompetencija kritičkog razmišljanja dovoljno razvijena za postizanje vlastitih zaključaka među članovima akademske zajednice. Ovaj rad analizira i prikazuje stavove o potrebi bioetičkog obrazovanja među doktorandima interdisciplinarnog doktorskog studija na Fakultetu za odgojne i obrazovne znanosti u Osijeku.
