“…At the same time, the rejection of otherness establishes the idea of universal unity, which comes from Plato's world of ideas and is completed in Christianity, as a world religion that has the ambition to absorb into itself all the people of the world. This is equally true of Islam (Hlad et al, 2022).…”

Aim. The article describes the philosophical background of competency education and analyses the weaknesses that are present in curriculum changes, focusing on the absence of dynamic acceptance of otherness. Concept. The starting point is a reflection on the philosophical background of education as a repetition and production of the same. The basic principles of the post-metaphysical approach of education to otherness and the interpretation of the innovation curriculum in relation to these principles are presented. Results. Curricular changes and innovations appear to be cosmetic adjustments in which the traditional philosophical and pedagogical principles of passive reception of knowledge and acquisition of large amounts of knowledge are preserved. Conclusion. Changing the curriculum requires a change in teachers' attitudes as well as a change in the school education system. It is necessary to define who the teacher is, who the pupil is. Parents must identify with curricular reform and see it as a positive change for their children. Cognitive value. Curricular reform cannot be done without systemic changes in education. All participants in the change must be familiar with and identify with the new paradigm and its philosophical background, otherwise it will not be possible to realise the transition to competency pedagogy.

“…Together, these different kinds of reported causes represent the general fact that when processing information and making decisions, the information itself and the emotion related to it are both important to human beings. It matters very much whether the information makes sense to a person, and the value of information also largely depends on how it hits the emotional component of a person (Kobylarek et al 2022;Hlad et al 2022). Young people belonging to Generation Z, who are used to being recipients of much diverse information since their childhood, live in an age in which one of the powers able to provide both the information itself and the emotion embedded into it, is the media (Hossain et al 2022).…”

This paper discusses the current characteristics of the religiosity of young people in Slovakia based on data that were obtained in a survey as part of the research project “Perspectives of the Development of Religiosity in Slovakia”, carried out in 2017–2020. The data presented in the article pertain to several areas related to the religious lives of young people. Firstly, data on general changes in the respondents’ religiosity (such as a weakening or a strengthening) are presented, followed by data on the causes that the respondents consider having influenced these changes. Secondly, since many of the respondents claimed factors related to receiving a lot of information as such causes, the article presents data to determine to what extent the respondents paid attention to religious media in Slovakia (newspaper, radio, television, and websites). Lastly, we present the data on the respondents’ attitudes towards the moral acceptance of some themes that are religiously controversial or politically divisive in Slovak society today. We then discuss the indications that emerge from the data on the religiosity of young people in Slovakia today, overall concluding that there is often an occurrence among Slovak youth of claiming an affiliation to an official church/confession/religious institution while developing and acting on individual religious opinions or beliefs.

“…Pathological behaviour occurs at all levels of society and, according to several authors (Lešková, 2010;Hlad et al, 2022), it is associated with both social and individual consequences of risky behaviour. These require an ongoing approach to educating young persons not only through the family but also through the school environment.…”

Conclusion. Peer mediation engages pupils in a common dialogue to resolve conflicts at school through reconciliation and is a suitable way to prevent undesirable social phenomena in the school environment. The results of the research showed that respondents preferred peer mediation and perceived it as an appropriate form of conflict resolution in the school environment.
