Abstract

Centar za građansko obrozovanje (CGO), u okviru svog potprograma Tranziciona pravda, ima za cilj da doprinese djelotvornom procesu suočavanja sa prošlošću kroz niz različitih, ali međusobno povezanih, aktivnosti. U tom kontekstu, tim CGO-a je u okviru studije "Što skrivaju i otkrivaju crnogorski udžbenici o savremenoj crnogorskoj istoriji?" analizirao sadržaj materijala koji je danas dostupan u formalnom obrazovanju, i to na nivou osnovnog, srednjeg i visokog obrazovanja, pri čemu je visoko obrazovanje uzeto kroz uzorak tri fakultetske jedinice Univerziteta Crne Gore. Dodatno, sprovedeno je i istraživanje koje je imalo za cilj da procijeni neke od učinaka takvog obrazovnog pristupa na (ne)znanje studenata/kinja. Konačno, data je ocjena postojećeg modela predavanja istorije, ali i preporuke kako da se osavremeni i upodobi potrebama društva koje teži da se razvije u demokratsko. Fokus ove studije bio je, između ostalog, i na načinu na koji se u obrazovnom sistemu Crne Gore predstavljaju uzroci, tok i ishodi skorijih ratnih dešavanja koji su obilježili istoriju regiona, a samim tim i Crne Gore. Na žalost, tu su crnogorski udžbenici praktično "očišćeni" od svih moguće "opasnih" sadržaja, čime se ograničava i potencijal društva da razumije i cijeni taj period na bazi činjenica, a samim tim se još više opterećuje inače mukotropan proces suočavanja sa prošlošću. Nastava istorije bi trebalo da razvija kritičko mišljenje i duh tolerancije, da prevenira ili urušava izgrađene predrasude i promoviše otvorenost prema različitostima. No, sudeći po onom što crnogorski učenici/e i student/kinje mogu naučiti kroz formalni obrazovni sistem, daleko smo od toga. Naime, učenici/e u Crnoj Gori ne mogu u školi naučiti ni kako ni u kojem obimu je Crna Gora učestvovala u ratnim dešavanjima, niti koji su ratni zločini počinjeni tokom 90ih u regionu i u Crnoj Gori, kao ni koliko je bilo žrtava u ime Crne Gore, iz Crne Gore i u Crnoj Gori. Crnogorske obrazovne institucije još uvijek ne pokazuju dovoljno volje da se odupru politizaciji udžbenika, bilo u onom što skrivaju ili otkrivaju ti udžbenici, a time se dovodi u pitanje vaspitna i obrazovna uloga istorije kao predmeta, makar kad je riječ o savremenoj istoriji Crne Gore. Dodatno je zabrinjavajuće da je ovaj pristup prisutan na svim nivoima obrazovanja - od osnovnog do visokog, a što rezultira već i produkcijom nastavnog kadra koji ovaj dio istorije nema u svom ličnom sjećanju niti je imao prilike da ga naučno adekvatno izuči, a ulazi u učionicu da to gradivo predaje. "Sećanje" nastaje pod uticajem mnogih faktora, od kojih je jedan od najuticajnijih nastava istorije u školama i, posebno, udžbenici istorije. Oni promovišu određeni sistem verovanja, legitimišu i utvrđuju politički i društveni poredak. Zato se može reći da je znanje koje se stiče u školi rezultat složenih odnosa moći i borbe grupa određenih klasom, rasom, rodom i verskom pripadnošću. Upravo zbog toga udžbenici imaju veliku moć i važna su poluga vlasti u svim delovima sveta. Stoga je potrebno što prije pristupiti promjeni postojećih udžbenika i njihovom osavremenjivanju, i to od strane onih koji imaju integritet da ne prave kompromis sa vlastima o načinu na koji će predstaviti savremenu crnogorsku istoriju, odnosno dio istorije kojoj su pečat dali i oni koji i dalje imaju značajnu političku moć u Crnoj Gori.

Abstract

The author tells here the riveting stories of five military battles of the twentieth century, each one a turning point in history. Beginning with the British Expeditionary Force holding the line at the Battle of Mons in 1914 and concluding with the Battle of 73 Easting in 1991 during Operation Desert Storm, this book establishes a connection among these clashes and teaches its readers an important lesson about how future battles can be won. Emphasizing military strategy, force design, and modernization, the author links each of these seemingly isolated engagements thematically. At the core of his analysis, he reminds the reader that to be successful, military action must always be congruent with national culture, geography, and scientific-industrial capacity. He argues that strategy and geopolitics are ultimately more influential than ideology. The author stresses that if nation-states want to be successful, they must accept the need for, and the inevitability of, change. The five dramatic battles in this book, rendered in vivid detail by lively prose, offer many lessons on the tactical, operational, and strategic levels of war.

Abstract

Since the days of the Ancient Greeks, history has been perceived as the academic study of the past. Unfortunately, it has generally been taught as a litany of rigid, boring facts intended to be accepted rather than questioned. This has been reinforced for decades by weighty textbooks that overwhelm the reader with mind-numbing details presented in a chronological sequence. The end result is that students see little relevance of what they learn in history class to the real world, and many simply struggle to stay awake. Compared to other subjects taught at the secondary level, history is frequen
