  The article presents a study of the relevance of the application of creative methods of teaching astronomy in preschool and primary education in Uzbekistan, especially in the context of the modern development of science and technology. During the study, methods for creative teaching of astronomy were developed and described, aimed at shaping children’s ideas about the modern scientific astronomical picture of the world. The article analyzes the results of pedagogical experiments, which proved that creative teaching of astronomy significantly increases children’s interest in science and contributes to the development of their creative thinking and potential. The main principles of creative teaching of astronomy in preschool and primary education are games, experiments, communication, creativity, and the use of various visualization tools. These methods and principles help children to better understand the theory and scientific facts and enable them to participate in activities. Thus, this article can become the basis for the development of new methods and approaches to teaching astronomy in preschool and primary education, as well as for improving the effectiveness of existing methods.

  We can find the trace of the fragmentation and deprofessionalisation of the lecturers’ jobs from the early nineties in the field of higher education research. The post-academic phase which was described by Ziman (2002) become more typical in Hungary, too. This shift can reduce the artisan way of research, make the quantification more significant and increase the frequency of teamwork. Scott (2009) highlights that this generates such an organisational environment that is full of elements of alienation and the usage of ICT tools can amplify this tendency. The aim of this article is to reveal the reflexions of the lecturers on this specific environment with the help in 31 semi-structured interviews. We recorded the interviews in ten cities of Hungary and the lecturers came from 12 disciplines. The elements of lecturers’ work were identified (research, teaching, administration, and taking part in applications) but it is hard to see successful examples to put these parts together in high quality. The patterns of these elements are different in the fragmented world of higher education and the expectations of institutions can form their significance at the same time. The barriers to academic careers in the post-academic phase became identifiable at the same time.

  Is there a historical dimension to digital pedagogy? The evidence suggests yes! Is the IT historical aspect an immanent part of a digital pedagogical study on the use of artificial intelligence? This question is more complex to answer. A multifaceted theoretical analysis that approaches the studies from a bird's eye view reveals that knowledge of the historical background is essential for presenting even the most modern topics. We cannot look at artificial intelligence otherwise than as a product group of IT sciences that makes its user think: in what way and to what extent is it human, in what way and to what extent is it helpful, where are the limits of its artificiality. This study aims to prove, primarily by grasping at some of the helpful handholds of the rich methodology of hermeneutic reading, that without quality historiography there is no theory – and without the dialectic of theory and historicity– without this fertile duality – there is no practically usable science supporting education. The Hungarian digital pedagogical literature is a diverse repository of the use of the historical aspect – and our analysis also reveals that AI does not have a unified history so much as „stories”. Traditions without which the current tendencies would be incomprehensible.
