Nowadays, societies express the request to strengthen harmony and sustainability regarding different social and personal life issues. The representatives of business, public administration and science are looking for new ways of improving the societal environment with means of new technologies, products, and newly adjusted organizational processes. In the book, professional researchers present Lithuania‘s topicalities in the context of social innovations „from inside“. In order to familiarize the readers with various aspects of the country‘s social life, relevant societal problems and unique experience, there are framed 19 chapters, which were grouped into three parts: Social Innovations for Sustainable Development Facing to Globalization, Improving Life quality and Enhancing Employment Possibilities, and Need for Transformation of Moral Values in Today’s Lithuania.

Human capital can be defined in different ways, but knowledge, abilities, skills, competences, or literacy, in general, are essential parts. It can be said that literacy is the cornerstone of human capital. According to the basic principles of the theory of employment, factors such as education, gender, age, health, marital status, and emigration have a major impact on participation in the labour market. However, in scientific discourse, there is a strong emphasis on these factors and the importance of literacy. However, there is a lack of studies specifically analysing the links between literacy and participation in the labour market. In particular, it is important to analyse whether literacy is equally important for participation in the labour market in different regions and countries. This article analyses the link between participation in the labour market and literac...

Economic home factors are analysed as one of dimensions of quality of life. Since the concept of quality of life is wide, only one of its dimensions-economic home factors-was chosen for the analysis. Moreover, one of the tasks set was to measure the connection between economic home factor and student achievement. In Lithuania, research on quality of life has expanded over the last decade, particularly in health sciences and sociology. However, analysis of quality of life is particularly rare in education field. Therefore, education field was chosen for this research. Methods of the research: questionnaire, tests. Research instruments: tests on mathematical, reading, and scientific literacy. Students of the 10 th grade took part in the survey. Sample: 420 respondents from 139 schools of Lithuania. The research revealed that economic home factor, as one of the dimensions of the quality of life, has strong influence on student achievement. Comparison between different learning subjects showed that economic home background is best reflected in the higher results of reading literacy. Regarding students' living location, the strongest impact of economic factor on the learning outcomes was observed for those living in the urban area. Comparison between genders showed that economic home factor has stronger relationship with boys' achievements than with girls' achievements.

Tyrimu siekiama išsiaiškinti ir palyginti bakalaurų ir magistrantų požiūrį į studijų kokybę įvairiais aspektais: kokie kriterijai jiems yra svarbiausi renkantis studijas, kas, jų manymu, aukštojoje mokykloje turi rūpintis studijų kokybe, kokia aukštosios mokyklos, įgyvendinančios kokybiškas studijas, vizija, kokia studijų kokybės koncepcija jiems atrodo priimtiniausia, kokie yra kokybiškų studijų požymiai. Metodologija. Tyrimo metodai: literatūros ir dokumentų analizė, apklausa. Tyrimo instrumentas-klausimynas raštu, susidedantis iš uždarojo atsakymo tipo klausimų. Apklausoje dalyvavo Mykolo Romerio universiteto Socialinės politikos fakulteto pirmojo kurso bakalaurai ir pirmojo kurso magistrantai. Apklausai pasirinkti studijas bepradedantys bakalaurai, kurių lūkesčiai studijų kokybei dar nesiremia jų pačių studijų patirtimi. Palyginimui pasirinkti pirmakursiai magistrantai, bepradedantys studijas antroje pakopoje, tačiau jų studijų kokybės samprata ir lūkesčiai studijų atžvilgiu jau remiasi jų pačių ankstesne studijų patirtimi. Tyrimo imtis-232 respondentai. Rezultatai. Tyrimu gauta, kad renkantis studijas tiek bakalaurams, tiek magistrantams svarbiausias pasirinkimo kriterijus buvo būtent kokybiškos pasirinktos

The analysis draws on the data from TIMSS 1995, 1999 and 2003. The TIMSS cycles and the scaling methodology used for calculating the scores provide opportunity for participating countries not only to compare their results with the results from other countries, but also to track the changes in their students' achievement across the years. This facility is of particular importance to countries experiencing considerable changes in their education undergone a considerable educational reform since the early 1990s. Participation in the aforementioned three TIMSS cycles provided Lithuania with a reliable means of measuring the impact of reform as it related to the mathematics achievement of students in Grade 8 of the basic school. The analysis described in this article involved content analysis and classical statistical investigation (the main statistical software ...

Theoretical research methods were applied: literature review and document analysis. The collection of empirical data was done with structured interviews.

Žiniasklaida turi galimybę pasiekti labai didelę skaitytojų auditoriją, be to, ji yra svarbi priemonė, besirūpinanti visos visuomenės ir žmonių, atsakingų už vaiko teisių apsaugos politiką, nuolatiniu domėjimusi šia tema. Atliktame tyrime siekiama nustatyti, kokiais vaiko teisių įgyvendinimo aspektais žiniasklaida domisi ir kokiems aspektams skiriama mažiau dėmesio. Atkreipiamas dėmesys į tai, kaip žiniasklaida atskleidžia vaiko teisių įgyvendinimo temas bendruoju atveju ir tada, kai kalbama apie vaikus, turinčius specialiųjų poreikių.
