Traces and Signs of Identity and Continuity in the Papers for Obtaining the 1st Teaching Degree. Highlights from a “Geography of Education” in the South-East of Transylvania

Abstract

Highlighting the potential of the social, educational, cultural, economic, and physical media in rural communities seemed a gesture of great responsibility to entrust this potential to teachers, particularly primary school teachers in some geographical areas from Braşov, Covasna, and Buzau counties. The investigations conducted in the field belong mostly to an inductive qualitative-interpretative paradigm and the results show the mentality and lifestyle which locals have in this area, within the social and community context, which actually define the traditional rural culture in the Romanian villages from the mentioned areas. All these elements were amplified by writing and implementing school-decision optional courses which we can generically call spatial and temporal landmarks of a „Geography education” of the rural South – East of Transylvania.
