Autorska Interdyscyplinarna Metoda Edukacji przez Sztukę jako odpowiedź na nowe trendy w pedagogice europejskiej i problemy na polu polskiej edukacji kulturalnej

Ogrody Nauk i Sztuk, 2018

Teza W nowoczesnej edukacji nauczanie przez sztukę i doświadczenie wypiera naukę przez zapamiętywanie. Autorska Interdyscyplinarna Metoda Edukacji przez Sztukę jest tego przykładem. Omówione koncepcje O istotnej roli sztuki w dzisiejszej edukacji, mówią naukowcy i opisują ją angielskim akronimem STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics), w ślad za tym pojawiła się nowa idea - konektywizm. Wyniki i wnioski Skoro kluczem do sukcesu, zamiast posiadania i produkowania, jest tworzenie idei i pomysłów, należy przebudować metody nauczania i przywrócić poczesne miejsce edukacji kulturalnej i przedmiotom emocjonalnym, które pielęgnują kreatywność i wrodzone postawy twórcze. Zalecenia Komisji Europejskiej ds. Edukacji, które mają wcielać te idee, nie znajdują miejsca w kolejnych reformach systemu polskiej edukacji, ewentualnie istnieją jako martwe zapisy. Na szczęście, takie zwiastuny edukacji przez sztukę zauważamy w oddolnych działaniach ludzi kultury i edukacji. Oryginalno...

Content Analysis of the Subject of Technology at Basic Schools in Slovakia within the Context of the Upcoming Education Reform

TEM Journal

Since 1989, various initiatives aimed at supporting humanity, linguistic, information, technical or polytechnical education in basic schools in Slovakia (i.e. at primary and lower secondary schools according to ISCED) were announced and implemented. At the end of 2020 the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic announced its intention to carry out a curricular reform on the level of ISCED 1 and ISCED 2. The article presents starting points and conceptions of both the previous as well as the announced curricular reforms, and subsequently the authors focus on the impact of these reforms on the content of the subject of technology, in frame of which technical education of students at lower level of secondary education is carried out. From the authors' point of view, the curricular reform of the subject of technology should increase students' interest in technically oriented fields of study. In this context, they present results of a research st...

Current problems of education, 2021

When teaching and educating, teachers often encounter problems and challenges. However, not only do students and teachers face difficulties, but the educational system also needs to tackle problems, and several questions have to be answered. The conference volume, edited by Gyorgy Hunyady, Beno Csapo, Gabriella Pusztai and Judit Szivak, explores these current questions and problems. The volume offers concise resumes to the readers thus establishing the thematic framework of the book. Moreover, this structure is also convenient to describe the independent vocational days organised by the three universities (DE, ELTE, SZTE) in details. Based on these experiences, we describe the content of the chapters. The researchers of the Pedagogical Institute of the University of Szeged analyse the questions of educational development in an intriguing study. The modernization of education is determined by the development of pedagogy, the economic factors, the development of researches, and the components of training. According to Beno Csapo, Csaba Csikos, Erzsebet Korom, Gyongyver Molnar and Tibor Vidakovich, "money invested in the education is worth many times for both the individual and the society." (p. 68.) Besides, learning also has a positive effect on the quality of the individual life and the human and cultural dimensions of social development. One of the study's subchapters analyses the relationship between early childhood and equal opportunity. Its authors claim that it is crucial to support studying early childhood and examining development, to develop advanced reading-and mathematical skills before school age, and to examine the transition from kindergarten to school. It is proved that "one of the main opportunities of the correction of educational results is a more effective teaching and development of the children of disadvantaged families." (p. 76.) Janos Gordon Gyori examines the factors of the differences between students and their equal opportunities not only in national but also in international relations. Then, he interprets international knowledge-and chanece giving models. According to the author, the causes of inequality opportunities in education are the differences in socioeconomic status. Their effects can be different based on the origin and psychical background from what is expected. Concerning his theory, three strategies can help to set the inequality opportunities right: the special support of the concerned people-or groups, positive discrimination and strengthening.

PROCEEDINGS NEW TRENDS AND RESEARCH CHALLENGES IN PEDAGOGY AND ANDRAGOGY NTRCPA18

New trends and research challenges in pedagogy and andragogy NTRCPA18, 2018

On 8 February 2018, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, hosted a conference on challenges in the area of children, youth and adult education. This international scientific event was organized by the Institute of Educational Sciences of Pedagogical University of Cracow and the Faculty of Pedagogy of Charles University. The conference titled „New trends and research challenges in pedagogy and andragogy” met with great interest of researchers from Czech, Slovakia, Poland and Macedonia. During the seminar, 50 presentations were delivered by representatives from over a dozen of research centres, among them: Banska Bystrica, Bitoli, Cracow, Łodź, Poznań, Prague, Warsaw and Wrocław. It was one of many joint events organised through cooperation of universities from the Visegrad Group and partner Balkan scientific centres. The conference became a platform for exchanging methodological, didactic and organisational experiences. As a result, we present twenty papers which received positive evaluation by reviewers from: Czech, Finland, Spain, Macedonia, Slovakia, Poland and Ukraine. Thorough reviews enabled exchange of methodological comments, improving the final version of the publication. This international volume begins with reflections by J. Prokop on the analysis of Czech education system in the perspective of exclusiveness category. Text that follows, by K. Potyrała’s team from the Pedagogical University of Krakow, fits into general nature of pedagogical characteristics and presents responsibilities of teachers as researchers of educational processes. Another interesting issue: school interactions between parents and teachers, studied from the perspective of learning organisation — was discussed by N. Demeshkant and other authors from the Krakow university which specialises in education of teachers. Positive aspects of learning and teaching process with use of new technologies were presented by L. Eger. Media pedagogy section is completed with two texts referring to the risk paradigm. First, authored by Ł. Tomczyk, presents the scale of digital piracy and conditions of this process; in the second one, M. Benes discusses the problem of online gambling. Security issues are discussed by two authors, J. Maciejewski and Z. Ludziejewski, who focused on preparation of dispositional groups. This topic is particularly relevant as we observe that the scale civilisational threats in the area of safety is growing. Andragogical part begins with the study by I. Pavlov and M. Skup into activities of adult educators in ethical perspective. The subsequent text, by A. Wąsiński and A. Górniok-Naglik, about self-creation as a factor supporting development of adult individuals also refers to andragogy-related issues. Professor M. Kryston and M. Sládkayová, discuss the issues of civic education, which are one of the priorities in modern andragogical reflection. Adult education is presented in a slightly different perspective by A. Domagała-Kręcioch and J. Wnęk-Gozdek. The authors show relations between adult education and educational processes in early childhood. Andragogical motives are also discussed in the next papers presenting: biographical determinants of decisions to study at a technical university (E. Mazurek, O. Vynoslavska) and conditions of participating in amateur choirs (A. Litawa). Finally, there is the study by A. Błachnio and A. Fabiś on satisfaction from life in late old age. Another part of the post-conference monograph focuses on detailed presentations of problems in schools and local communities. This section begins with the study by Macedonian scholar, V. Gulevska, on inclusion model and homeless children. The next article refers to preventive knowledge about addictions, on the example of the research conducted by A. Vahova and J. Hanusova among students of Charles University in Prague. Bisera Kostadinovska-Stojcevska writes about the necessity of changes in language education system. Another important topic was also addressed by A. Sladek who presents the problem of expectations in labour market. This issue is particularly relevant due to still high level of unemployment among young people or “fresh graduates”. Another text by A. Vahova and J. Hanusova discusses the problem of preparing pedagogy students to diagnose cases of sexual abuse. The last paper in this school-related section, is the one by K. Bieńkowska on diagnostics of reading and hearing problems. We hope this international publication will be received positively and we encourage you to participate in future editions of the international NTRCPA conference which we intend to organise in centres with similar prestige as Charles University in Prague.

Change of Direction in Understanding the History of Education in Slovakia in the 1940s

Pedagogika, 2018

Th e paper is a historical-educational study that aims to survey changes in the conceptual foundations of the fi eld of the history of education in the 1940s, when a change of direction in its understanding, caused mainly by political circumstances, occurred. It was a complicated period with several overlapping ideological levels: the ideas of the interwar democratic Czechoslovakia "retired", the national socialist ideology of the Slovak state was established in the situation of the war, and the Marxist-Leninist ideology, which was fully implemented after the communist coup in 1948, was being gradually shaped. A change of direction in the history of education and a change in its foundations will be demonstrated via two leading fi gures in the pedagogy of the period and their historical-educational work. Th e fi rst one is Juraj Čečetka (1907-1983), the fi rst Slovak professor of pedagogy. In 1940, he published his work Zo slovenskej pedagogiky [From Slovak Pedagogy], which can be considered the fi rst Slovak scientifi c publication in the fi eld of the modern history of education. Th e second personality that signifi cantly infl uenced the character of pedagogy in Slovakia in the 1940s was Ondrej Pavlík (1916-1996). Th e conceptual foundations of his writings were diff erent in comparison to Čečetka's work and his successful establishment was aided by political engagement. His pedagogical work was predetermined by a dissertation thesis, Vývin sovietskeho školstva a pedagogiky (1945) [Development of Soviet Education and Pedagogy], and a monograph, Vysoké školy v Sovietskom zväze (1947) [Universities in the Soviet Union]. Discussing the work of Juraj Čečetka and Ondrej Pavlík, the following can be pointed out: 1. the close connection between personal conviction and political engagement and scientifi c work; 2. the impact of the ideology of totalitarian regimes on science and education, and 3. a change of direction in the understanding of the history of education under the infl uence of totalitarian ideologies and the diffi culty of evaluating them objectively.

The Warsaw study in socio-cognitive psychology of education

European Journal of Psychology of Education, 1989

The article presents one of ways, in which educational psychology in Poland has been practiced. It may be called a socio-cognitive approach. The basic concepts of this approach concern the process of interaction between educators and their children. They are: the situation, the bi-subject model, the field of shared meanings, the act of communication, levels of control, expectations, complementary roles, the typisation of persons and situations, behavioural patterns. Then, this theoretical model is ilustrated by the recent researches made in the Warsaw University. The general question of them was: how to educate to promote the development of agency in students. At the last part of the paper some directions of current researches are also presented. Cet article présente la façon dont la psychologie de l’éducation se développe à l’Université de Varsovie. Cette approche qualifiée de sociocognitive se consacre à l’analyse des processus d’interaction entre l’éducateur et l’élève. Les notions de base sont les suivantes: situation commune, acte de communication, niveau du contrôle, attentes, rôles complémentaires, catégorisation des personnes et des situations, modèles du comportement. Cette approche est appliquée à l’étude des processus éducatifs à l’école et dans la famille, la question centrale étant: comment aider les jeunes à se comporter en agents de leur propre développement. L’auteur présente l’état des études actuelles et des projets scientifiques.

In memory of professor Czesław Kupisiewicz honorary editor of “The New Educational Review” real member of the Polish academy of sciences

The New Educational Review

On the 5t of November 2015, CZESŁAW KUPISIEWICZ passed away to do his eternal duty, an eminent educationalist, member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, retired professor of the University of Warsaw and Maria Grzegorzewska University, the author of several dozen monographic studies on general didactics, comparative pedagogy, educational policy and history of pedagogical thought as well as hundreds of scientifi c contributions published in renowned Polish and international journals. Already during his lifetime, Professor Czesław Kupisiewicz became one of the classics of the pedagogical thought, famous not only for a vast scope of the scientifi c research carried out but also for making the best use of the experience and wisdom of the masters of his generation, gained throughout his long life of dramatic occurrences and, last but not least, the author of a frequently reissued academic textbook. Th ousands, or shall we say dozens of thousands of teachers, studied his excellent treatises on the theory of education or pupil school failure. In his own opinion, it was a paradox to fi ght school failure together with those who actually had contributed to it. He passed away at the age of 91, a scientist, the teacher of teachers and the educationalist of educationalists; a man of letters and master of the Polish language, whose perfect scientifi c narration not only complied with the highest methodological standards of liberal arts and social science but was comprehensible and convincing. Let me recall, following the publishing chronology, the works of the professor, fundamental for the pedagogical science: "On Effi cacy of Problem Teaching" (1960) ", "Teaching Failures. Reasons and some Improvement Measures" (1964),
