  • History Education: the Case of Estonia
    Mare Oja History Education: The Case of Estonia https://doi.org/10.22364/bahp-pes.1990-2004.09 History Education: The Case of Estonia Mare Oja Abstract. This paper presents an overview of changes in history teaching/learning in the general education system during the transition period from Soviet dictatorship to democracy in the renewed state of Estonia. The main dimensions revealed in this study are conception and content of Estonian history education, curriculum and syllabi development, new understanding of teaching and learning processes, and methods and assessment. Research is based on review of documents and media, content analysis of textbooks and other teaching aids as well as interviews with teachers and experts. The change in the curriculum and methodology of history education had some critical points due to a gap in the content of Soviet era textbooks and new programmes as well as due to a gap between teacher attitudes and levels of knowledge between Russian and Estonian schools. The central task of history education was to formulate the focus and objectives of teaching the subject and balance the historical knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes in the learning process. New values and methodical requirements were included in the general curriculum as well as in the syllabus of history education and in teacher professional development. Keywords: history education, history curriculum, methodology Introduction Changes in history teaching began with the Teachers’ Congress in 1987 when Estonia was still under Soviet rule. The movement towards democratic education emphasised national culture and Estonian ethnicity and increased freedom of choice for schools. In history studies, curriculum with alternative content and a special course of Estonian history was developed.

It is also available online: http://www.borenv.net/BER/pdfs/ber12/ber12-653.pdf Introduction Estonia is located in a transition zone between regions having a maritime climate in the west and continental climate in the east and is a relatively small country (45,227 km2), but its geographical location between the Fenno-scandian Shield and East European Platform and comparatively long coastline (over 4000 km) due to numerous peninsulas, bays and islands (>1,500 island), results in a variety of shore types and ecosystems. The western coast is exposed to waves generated by prevailing westerly winds, with NW waves dominant along the north-facing segment beside the Gulf of Finland, contrasting with southern relatively sheltered sectors located on the inner coasts of islands and along the Gulf of Livonia (Riga). The coastline classification is based on the concept of wave processes straightening initial irregular outlines via erosion of Capes/bay deposition, or a combination (Orviku, 1974, Orviku and Granö, 1992, Gudelis, 1967). Much coast (77%) is irregular with the geological composition of Capes and bays being either hard bedrock or unconsolidated Quaternary deposits, notably glacial drift.

  • An Examination of the Role of Nationalism in Estonia’S Transition from Socialism to Capitalism
    De oeconomia ex natione: An Examination of the Role of Nationalism in Estonia’s Transition from Socialism to Capitalism Thomas Marvin Denson IV Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Political Science Besnik Pula, Committee Chair Courtney I.P. Thomas Charles L. Taylor 2 May 2017 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Estonia, post-Soviet, post-socialist, neoliberalism, nationalism, nationalist economy, soft nativism Copyright © 2017 by Thomas M. Denson IV De oeconomia ex natione: An Examination of the Role of Nationalism in Estonia’s Transition from Socialism to Capitalism Thomas Marvin Denson IV Abstract This thesis explores the role played by nationalism in Estonia’s transition to capitalism in the post-Soviet era and the way it continues to impact the Estonian economy. I hypothesize that nationalism was the key factor in this transition and that nationalism has placed a disproportionate economic burden on the resident ethnic Russians. First, I examine the history of Estonian nationalism. I examine the Estonian nationalist narrative from its beginning during the Livonian Crusade, the founding of Estonian nationalist thought in the late 1800s with a German model of nationalism, the conditions of the Soviet occupation, and the role of song festivals in Estonian nationalism. Second, I give a brief overview of the economic systems of Soviet and post-Soviet Estonia. Finally, I examine the impact of nationalism on the Estonian economy. To do this, I discuss the nature of nationalist economy, the presence of an ethno-national divide between the Estonians and Russians, and the impact of nationalist policies in citizenship, education, property rights, and geographical location.

  • VIRGE LOO PORTFOLIO Virgeloo.Tumblr.Com [email protected]
    VIRGE LOO PORTFOLIO virgeloo.tumblr.com [email protected] SAH SAH (2015) Sah Sah explores ideas about our connectedness with environments by looking at sound as a phenomena that is able to shape our nature in a longer period of time. The title derives from an Estonian word “sahin” which describes the sound of rustling tree leaves. This inspiring natural phenomena is the core of a personal sound memory and is related to artist’s cultural background. This art project gives a peek into a Nordic mindset and investigates if a geocultural phenomena could be universally perceived. An interwoven set of works were created by visualising the characteristics of sound in a still image and using these painted images to set the sound in motion again – thus creating a circle of transitions. Sah Sah consists of ink paintings, video and sound. The sound was designed by Sander Saarmets. Sah Sah consists of series of seven large scale (95x180cm) and 45 smaller (30x20cm) ink paintings. Sah Sah video (10:10) was made in collaboration with Sander Saarmets. Video: youtu.be/_ctjiDVyq84 Works shown at solo exhibition SAH SAH 8/05 – 12/05/2015 thesahsahs.tumblr.com WORK IN PROGRESS (2015) Work in Progress focused on my creative process. By mapping various elements and activities involved in creating a finalised artwork, the audience got a glimpse into artist’s creative process. The visually organised “mind map” on a blackboard was a temporary and developing (representation of) work in progress. The exhibition space was set up like a studio, with tools and objects, unfinished potential artworks and leftovers.

Yet, Saturday, June 19, 2010 the dismal financial and institutional conditions were accompanied by an unprecedented amount of intellectual-artistic freedom as well as by open bor- ders, unlimited access to hitherto unavailable (or tabooed) information, and direct contact with the Western art world. With traditional values and ideo- logical guidelines abandoned, new contexts, new territories, and new orders were explored. Museums proved receptive to global trends. This interdisciplinary conference will conquer new terrain – both thematically and methodologically. It addresses and analyses the fundamental transfor- mation process in the field of contemporary art – a process initiated by the now legendary auction organized by Sotheby’s in Moscow, 1988. The auction led to a politically motivated reassessment and com- mercial appreciation of art which until then had been associated with political dissent.
