Kobiecość (nie)ujawniona – interpretacyjne prowokacje(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Gromkowska-Melosik, AgnieszkaThe author of the article reconstructs the various concepts of femininity in the fable Red Riding Hood. The main thesis is related to conviction that fables including Red Riding Hood are the fieldof specificcrystallization of culture uncertainity. In the case of Red Riding Hood competing interpretations of meanings are deconstructed. One can give here as an example the feminist understanding of Red Riding Hood, postmodern approach to this fascinating heroine and power girl related thinking, as well as psychoanalytic concepts. So in the seemingly naïve and banal fable various version of femininity and feminine sexuality can be discovered.Item The School Experience of Arab LGBT Students in Israel(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Said, AntonThe purpose of the research is to study the school experience of Arab Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgender (LGBT) in the state of Israel from own point of view. The research question is: what is the school experience of Arab LGBT graduates of the Israeli educational system in high schools where the language of learning is Arabic? This is a quantitative research, based on a questionnaire completed by 51 Arab LGBT, graduates of the Israeli educational system. They attended high schools where the language of learning is Arabic; 69.8% (N=37) of them were completed by males, 28.3% (N=15) by females, and 1% (N=1) by transgender. 62.3% reported that their sexual inclination is homosexual, 22.6% lesbian, 13.2% bisexual, and transgender one (1%). The ages of the respondents range from 18 to 32. The research participants were recruited through the ‘snowball sample’ method. The initial request was made to my personal Facebook friends whom I knew were LGBT, and they disseminated the questionnaire to additional LGBT friends they knew. The questionnaire examined the school experience in general and their perception of the role of the Arab educational counselor particularly on the topic of the sexual orientation and sexual identity, attitudes towards LGBT students, and degree of the influence of traditional Arab society on his role as a school counselor whose role is to advise, help, and accompany all the students so as to integrate in the school and in society in the best possible way. 51 questionnaires were examined in three independent variables of respondents on which the research focuses: the sector to which the respondent’s school belongs, the respondent’s religion, and the school location.Item Jakie prawo jest potrzebne pedagogom?(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Andrzejewski, MarekThe article discusses the relation between law and pedagogy as well as between lawyers (theoreticians and practitioners) and pedagogues (theoreticians and practitioners). The author describes the manifestations of the current legal crisis and indicates how this process affects social life, particularly its pedagogical aspect. In his opinion, law should ensure freedom of pedagogical initiatives instead – as the dominant trend dictates – restrain them. The article is a changed version of a lecture delivered on the occasion of a jubilee of Professor Wiesław Ambrozik, held on 16 November 2017, in Collegium Minus, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań.Item The Learning Community’s Program – a Fresh Approach to the Single Teacher(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Cohen-Brenner, DaphnePromoting physics studies depends highly on the teacher’s instruction quality. This paper re-examines the influence of participation in a learning community on the teacher’s professional development. As an outcome, improving his students’ physics learning abilities, in light of theories on the process of change, is obtained thanks to the teacher participating the progra Daphne Cohen Brenner is a physics teacher and district instructor in Israel, leading a professional learning community. The article is based on the Ph.D. thesis written at AMU University in the framework of doctoral studies in education.Item Witold Jakubowski (red.) Pedagogika kultury popularnej – teorie, metody i obszary badań, Oficyna Wydawnicza Impuls, Kraków 2016, ss.350(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Włodarczyk, RafałItem Współczesne studia doktoranckie i współcześni doktoranci. Doniesienia ze zwiadu badawczego(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Banaszak, Sławomir; Andrys, Magdalena; Dolata, Dorota; Iwanicka, Beata; Schmidt, Anna; Ulaniecka, NataliaThe article presents the results of a research study on the situation of contemporary post-graduate students. Focus group interviews helped obtain post-graduate students’ opinions about the conditions of starting and continuing doctoral studies. The discussion focused on three main topics: motivation to start doctoral studies, the quality and conditions of doctoral studies evaluation, and the advantages and disadvantages of undertaking doctoral studies. Analysis of the respondents’ statements shows that the motivations for starting doctoral studies vary strongly. Common in the experience of the interlocutors is a lack of stability in life (including financialstability), insecurity of employment, overload, and stress. However, post-graduate students presented also positive aspects of doctoral studies, e.g.: social prestige or the possibility of development. The last part of the article describes issues related to problems and pathological phenomena (such as ‘punctasis’/‘points, credits collecting’), pointing to systemic and individual limitations affecting the situation of doctoral students in the Polish tertiary education system.Item Ryzyko jako element stylu życia współczesnej młodzieży. Ujęcie teoretyczno-empiryczne(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Peret-Drążewska, PaulinaThe theoretical and empirical analysis is intended to address the specificityof risk categories in the present and the relevance of these issues in the light of their perception by modern youth, which is part of the analysis of young people’s lifestyles. Discussions on changes in the risk category in the present and the distinction between risk and anxiety were also discussed. Also presented are the results of our own research presenting the opinions of contemporary youth on contemporary society, taking into account the category of risk.Item ’Inquiry Physics’ Program for Students-Implementation of Inquiry Learning in the Physics Lessons in the High School in Israel(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Sigron, MichalTeaching of the Sciences recently emphasizes more than in the past the importance of the student’s experience in inquiry, in different places in the world in general and in Israel in particular. This article describes the process of scientific inquiry and the change of the perception of the role, both of the student and of the traditional teacher, in the performance of the inquiry process. The article presents different initiatives that integrate the learning of inquiry in the teaching of physics in the high school in Israel. These initiatives show that the inquiry laboratories have the potential to promote meaningful learning among the students, to increase the depth of their understanding of the scientific concepts and the understanding of the nature of science. The article focuses on ‘Inquiry Physics’ program for students and presents the goals, the target audience, the time framework, and the structure of this program. The program aims to assemble the different initiatives under one framework and to provide them with an appropriate place in the teaching of physics. The learning method of inquiry is now fledgling in the State of Israel and mainly in the knowledge realm of physics. Therefore, exposure to this program may contribute to the body of knowledge on the characteristics of learning and teaching through inquiry in general and on the teaching of physics in particular.Item „Indywidualistyczne” vs „kolektywistyczne” orientacje normatywne młodzieży akademickiej(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Cybal-Michalska, AgnieszkaIn the article, the author refers to the individualism-collectivism dichotomy, which is a theoretical construct serving to explain the mutual relations of the individual and the group. It moreover provides a dimension differentiating between cultures which give the primacy to the individual over the group and those, which privilege the group over the individual. An individualistic tendency means that an individual is the subject for whom the collective is an object of action. Collectivism is the polar opposite view: the collective entity is the proper subject of the proceedings, in relation to which individuals are objects. The author of the article, acknowledging the need to recognize the quality of images and views of academic youth about a career path, invoked the structure and function of selected normative assumptions as important dimensions of the socio-cultural mentality of the individual. The research study helped grasp the ‘individualistic’ and ‘collectivist’ normative assumptions of university youth,Item Sprawozdanie z II Ogólnopolskiej Interdyscyplinarnej Konferencji Naukowej „Diagnoza i jej zastosowanie w kontekście jednostkowym i społecznym”, Poznań, 24 maja 2017 roku(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Śmietańska, JustynaItem Ryzyko zmaskulinizowania kobiet w dziedzinach ścisłych i technicznych(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Szymczak, EmiliaArticle entitled The Risk of Masculinization of Women in Science and Engineering focuses on the problem of women’s acceptance of male models and standards of behavior as a consequence of operating in the traditionally male work environment. It attempts to answer the question whether women working in the fieldsof engineering and science experience the need to get rid of or temporarily hide their essential femininity to efficientlyperform their work and meet the obligations arising from their chosen career.Item Sprawozdanie z Ogólnopolskiej Konferencji Naukowej „Nauczyciel. Czas. Przestrzeń. Szkoła (rola, funkcje, zadania dawniej i dziś)”, Zielona Góra, 5 kwietnia 2017 roku(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Kabat, Małgorzata; Kobyłecka, EwaItem Odpowiedzialność zawodowa, a wprowadzanie uczniów klas IV szkoły podstawowej w świat historii. Oczekiwania społeczne, a codzienna rzeczywistość – wyniki obserwacji młodego nauczyciela(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Hurysz, MateuszThe teacher today works in close relationship with others, which forces him to accept a limited set of attitudes and ways of action. I assume for the purposes of this paper two groups of factors for the teacher modeling approach: external – pedagogical supervision and school-imposed regulations deriving from state teachers’ and society’s expectations, especially from parents and students themselves, the internal factors – the process of educating and teaching every teacher and crucial, long-term formation of conscience. Based on this specific quadrangle I will present the first stage of introducing a young man to the world of history at the second stage of compulsory education in Polish schools. The assumption is that a primary school teacher may encourage or discourage the student to continue learning history, both national and global, in the middle school or in the secondary school. This is a great responsibility, which even teachers themselves often forget. The article indicates how all of this corresponds to social expectations and what everyday reality for a young teacher is...Item Reforma szkolna z roku 2016 – troska o ucznia czy innowacja na zamówienie polityczne(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Rondalska, DorotaThis article is devoted to the school reform of December 2016. The author discusses its appropriateness, the way it is introduced, and the social climate that accompanies it. This reform re-introduces the state from before 1998, i.e. an 8-year-long primary school and eliminates the junior school. The author raises a question about the justification for the reform, assuming that it does not take into account the results of the study on the effects of the 1999 reform, but may be politically-motivated. Another thesis concerns the repetition of the application errors of the previous reform as well as the formal way of introducing changes into the school system, especially the school network. The author points to a great social resistance against the reform, especially the way it is conducted and predicts that due to the hasty implementation of the reform and application errors, its effects may be half-hearted.Item Pojęcie „zdolność” w narracji studentów angielskich i polskich. Ujęcie kognitywne(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Gierczyk, MarcinThe purpose of this publication is to show how students from Poland and England defineand understand the concept of ‘giftedness’. The analyses result from the author’s research conducted over the years 2013-2016. In the interviews, the students presented their own associations with the matter. Materials collected from 30 respondents, including 15 students from Śląski University and from a Lublin University and 15 students from Oxford University, showed that the concept of ‘giftedness’ is understood by Polish students identically to English students. ‘Giftedness’ was definedby a series of connotations: ‘creativity’, ‘talent’, ‘ability to do something’, ‘predisposition’, and ‘organization of thinking’.Item Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis – nierówności w koncepcji kapitału społecznego Roberta P. Putnama (perspektywa edukacyjna)(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Kowalski, Mirosław; Albański, ŁukaszThis article examines the concept of inequality in Robert D. Putnam’s Our Kids. The article discusses the intersections of social inequality and social capital shown in the book. In particular, the issue of inequality in access to education between children from different backgrounds is outlined and critically discussed. The conclusion suggests a possible new way to look at the relationship between education and inequalities, providing a theoretical basis for educational research.Item Sprawozdanie z Seminarium „Edukacja – Jednostka – Społeczeństwo”, Poznań, 5 października 2017 roku(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Andraszczyk, WojciechItem Fokus: technika i jej zastosowanie w badaniach edukacyjnych(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Banaszak, SławomirA Focus group interview (FGI), the focused group, focus groups or just focus are the definitionsof data collection techniques which, after several decades of development, have become an important part of research plans in social sciences. Placing the focus on communication techniques leads us to combine analyses consisting of interview and observation. It also raises the question whether the focus, which by definitioncombines and directly expresses the strengths and weaknesses of communication techniques and the strengths and weaknesses of observation techniques, allows achieving some kind of methodological synergy. In addition, the essence of measurement in science and – more closely – in social sciences seems to be an important context for the empirical functioning of the focus and for researchers preferring this technique of data collection.Item In Defense of Human Identity: the Reality of Globalization as the Cause of Modernization of Modern Educational Systems(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Markiewicz, ElżbietaThe article In Defense of Human Identity: the Reality of Globalization as the Cause of Modernization of Modern Educational Systems is an attempt to reflect on the role of the educational process in the context of the value system offered in the modern world. It appears that authentic human participation in the reality of global and involuntary compliance with the directives of globalism is both a crisis of identity, of its existence, values, norms, and all human activities. Efforts taken to demonstrate the value of dogma, which carries with it an affirmation of the modern world, and conformist standards of conduct, is to notice the risk of objective truth about man and reality. Civilization implies in fact a kind of order to eradicate what is human. The human drama shows an almost total devotion to the values of functionalism and utility. Therefore, it is vital for modern education to return to the personal dimension of human existence. This accomplishment, a full range of education, which means clarifying the challenges confronting it, is only possible with recognizing and highlighting the personal status of the man based on the personalistic norm. This article helps the contemporary human being to realize the importance of learning to respect human dignity and to protect the identity of a mature man.Item Z historii polskiej surdopedagogiki – trudne początki(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2017) Szczepankowski, BogdanThe Institute for the Deaf-mute in Warsaw, established in 1817 by Father Jakub Falkowski, is commonly considered to be the firstschool for deaf-mute children in Poland. However, similar actions had been taken three times earlier: in 1803 in Romanow, Volhynia, in 1804 in Vilnius, and in 1809 in Warsaw. Unfortunately, those activities did not generate the expected effects. The article recalls those unsuccessful attempts of establishing the first schools for deaf children
