Item Kompetencje socjoterapeuty – wybrane zagadnienia(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Jankowiak, BarbaraThe aim of this article is to analyze the competences of sociotherapists, which make it possible to help members of groups. Sociotherapy consists in psycho-pedagogic group help for children and adolescents from risk groups or for those who have problems functioning in society. Five important basic competence areas have been signaled and described: 1) psycho-pedagogic, 2) diagnostic, 3) group work, 4) self-development, 5) moral. Describing these competences enables one to analyze various aspects of a sociotherapist’s work.Item Pupils’ Misconceptions as a Psychosocial Barrier in the Context of Inclusive Education(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Pivarč, JakubDuring the totalitarian regime the Czech education system significantly hindered or entirely prevented pupils with a developmental disability to exercise their right to education. Since 1989, the Czech schooling system has undergone a distinct transformation. In line with the qualities of today’s postmodern society, the idea of inclusion has been one of the changes, but has been evolving only at a theoretical level so far. Inclusive education is clearly a solution for pupils with a developmental disability, which in turn leads to equal and effective education. Some obstacles within the practical application of inclusion may be negative attitudes, incorrect understanding, prejudices and invalid generalisations (misconceptions) of intact pupils about their peers who have a developmental disability. The paper discusses psychosocial barriers at a microsocial level in a classroom which may inhibit the inclusion process. The main focus is on the issue of pupils’ misconceptions and some strategies to overcome them.Item Difficulties Experienced by Special Education Novice Teachers in Their Induction Year, At the Various Special Education Frameworks in Israel: Outline of a Research Study(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Bar, NavaThe stage of the entry into teaching of the beginning teacher is a distinct stage in the circle of the professional development of teachers and is accompanied by many challenges and difficulties. The classic model of Fuller (1969) and its extension into the model of Fuller and Brown (1975) that addresses the beginning teacher’s concerns, presents three stages in the beginning teacher’s professional development: the stage of survival – concerns about the self, the stage of mastery – concerns about tasks/situations, and the stage of impact – concerns about the impact on students. This article seeks to present a research outline that addresses a population on which the research has not focused extensively, the novice teachers in special education, who work in the different frameworks of special education that present the novice teachers with challenges and difficulties. The research will examine what are the difficulties of the novice teachers in special education, in the different frameworks of special education, during the year of their entry into teaching. In addition, the research will examine whether there is a distinction between the different frameworks in the aspect of the difficulties with which the novice teachers cope, as well as in the solutions provided to them in coping with their difficulties. The importance of this research study is by extension the theoretical academic knowledge about the entry into teaching and the difficulties of beginning teachers in special education, and the possibility to use this knowledge to improve the mechanisms of absorption of the special education novice teachers in the educational field.Item Związki intymne jako autorskie projekty życia – próba konceptualizacji ponowoczesnych wzorców relacji(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Kuryś-Szyncel, Karolina; Jankowiak, BarbaraToday’s reality requires an individual to respond creatively to the challenges of the changing world and a liquid reality. Nonconformism and individualism are socially promoted. Still, many people want to live in an intimate relationship with a person close to them. There are visible changes of the individual life and anticipations about intimate relationships. Modern studies describe a lot of alternatives to the heterosexual marriage. The test results relating to the formal structure of compounds in the vast majority show no difference in the quality and durability of various forms of relationships. There is no in-depth analysis of the informal of relationship’s structure. In this article, it was assumed that an intimate relationship is a kind of life project through which people struggle with post-modern social reality. Via intimate relationships, partners can enhance personal creative potential and more creatively confront the events of life and face the challenges posed by developmental and life tasks. The theoretical analyses indicate the need to examine contemporary patterns of relationships. Perhaps those patterns will provide adequate socialization patterns. It was assumed that the relationship pattern includes: characteristics of partners, characteristic of the features of the formal and informal structure.Item Hejting jako przykład współczesnego zagrożenia w przestrzeni społecznej(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Szymczak, EmiliaIn contemporary constantly changing world, which opens a network of contacts and cares about the anonymity of its users, we often experience hate speech, which is gradually gaining momentum in the form of increasingly sophisticated and at the same time less and less subtle forms of communication. Hate and trolling are concepts that are currently popular forms of psychological violence. The subject of this article is hate speech, in other words verbal aggression, criticism and widely understood negation, which take place in relation to other people and their actions. The aim of this article is to present the meaning and extent of this phenomenon based on theoretical sources and available studies.Item recenzje_noty_TOMASZ SIODA, Historia ożywiania noworodków w Polsce, Plus Ultra, Poznań 2015, ss. 153(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Kabacińska-Łuczak, KatarzynaItem Czas pracy nauczycieli w polskiej debacie publicznej(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Dzierzgowski, JanThe following paper presents findings of an analysis of public debates concerning teachers’ workload in Poland. The main conclusion states that the key subject of the aforementioned debates are the group interests of various actors participating in it. Debates concerning teachers’ workload is merely a pretext for delegitimizing other actors by stating that they do not attempt to serve the common good, but instead do what is good for them. In addition, on the basis of the debates analyzed it is possible to reconstruct a particular discourse concerning demands (of certain actors partaking in the debates) on the central government’ policymaking strategies.Item The Use of Code Switching as a Communicative Strategy by the Lubavicher Emissaries Working with Jewish American Students: The Interaction Between Lubavicher Emissaries and their American Students(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Hefer, GilaIn this article there will be an endeavor to discuss the alternation of “Jewish English” to “standard”, “regular” English in the form of code switching (CS), by Jewish Lubavitch emissaries in university campuses in the United States of America. I will examine what CS, a widely observed linguistic phenomenon, especially seen in multilingual and multicultural communities, is, and who the code switchers are. I will explore what interests motivate them to switch their code, how competent they are at switching, and the circumstances in which they are prone to switch their code. I will trace the idiosyncratic use of CS by this exclusive ethnic community as an increasing socio-pragmatic linguistic devise. It will also be observed as a minor psycho-linguistic need at various gatherings and classes, as an unconscious act of teaching a similar but foreign language to their audience (i.e. interlocutors). Thus, the discussion and findings of this study might expand familiarity with, and understanding of, the CS phenomenon.Item Emotional Intelligence and Education(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Keidar, DaniellaIn recent years, the study of emotions has broadened its scope and established its standing as a new scientific discipline. Humanity has become increasing conscious of the seminal role played by the emotional components in both intrapersonal and interpersonal behavior. Research into the brain, behavior, education and medicine have been presenting, with increasing frequency, new findings and evidence proving that people with a higher I.Q. are not necessarily happier, more sociable, more communicative, more moral, more ethical, or more successful. The integration of the rational with the emotional is what guides the individual towards a behavioral result. A deeply rooted and inherent correlation exists between emotional intelligence (EI) and positive social results (PSR): adaptive abilities, the capacity for healthy social behaviors, caring, altruism, empathy as well as the tendency to bond and establish quality social relationships. By using EI skills and techniques, an educator (and the educational system at large) will be better able to achieve his educational objectives with the students not only as individuals but also as a group. The educator and the educational process are responsible for building and developing the infrastructure of EI that constitutes a major and essential part of life quality from childhood to adulthood. Emotional intelligence in the teaching sphere is highly instrumental in mutual relations between educator and students. Understanding and application of emotional intelligence in the forms of self-consciousness, control of feelings, relationship systems and enlightened communication, pave the way to concord and harmony between mind, emotion and behaviour. This coordination equips the educator with the wherewithal to teach and react consciously and emotionally and ensures his effective and educative entente with his students. Their mutual understanding creates the best possible conditions for the teaching process and for scholastic success. Our social intelligence emphasizes sensitivity to others and enables us direct our actions towards the creation of enlightened and progressive interpersonal communication.Item Dziecko w konwencji roli – aspekt werbalny(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Kuszak, KingaThe article describes Erving Goffman’s approach to the concept of a dramaturgical model of social relations. The author briefly presents the general framework of the concept (stage, actors, role convention, mask, audience, etc.), focusing in more detail on the verbal aspect of a social role. She highlights the way children, through participation in interactions with parents, preschool teachers and peers, master the rules of various social roles and transpose the experiences gained through these interactions into other social situations, e.g. transposing the rules of linguistic politeness mastered in preschool into the home environment, using specific linguistic means to influence other members of the household. Theoretical reflections are illustrated with examples of preschool-aged children’s utterances indicating their mastery of the specific features of a given role. In the last part of the article, the author presents examples of children transgressing the convention of a role, which are a result of either the children’s lack of knowledge about the convention or their conscious action against adults’ expectations and attempts to manifest their own independence or verify to what extent the convention is of a universal nature and to what extent it can be modified.Item Perspektywy i nowe rozwiązania w doradztwie zawodowym. Coaching jako narzędzie pracy doradców zawodowych w kontekście idei lifelong learningu(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Kozielska, JoannaThe requirement of lifelong learning has become a feature of our times, to the indeterminate nature, volatility and the need to respond to changing living conditions. Career models (Multi-vectored unstable), so different than those before the transformation period, indicate that the search for employment, its changing and adapting to the current socio – economic situation has become today’s challenge and task of a lifetime. Others, according to the author, the consequences are "necessary changes in the education system teleology. The aims and objectives of the educational system must be much more accentuated: air motivation to learn, triggering willingness and readiness to further learning, developing the ability to pursue interests and passions, developing independent learning skills, with proper self-monitoring and evaluation of their work by learners" (Wróblewska, 2006). Coaching is a method of work, which is based precisely on these indications. It is successfully used in the education system and counselling. In the context of a rapidly changing social reality, coaching has become a method of work that provides customer skills, which then can be used in everyday life, transforming from a person’s extra-control to self-control. In a world where algorithms, paradigms proceedings wane in importance to the multiplicity of social transformation and alternating tomorrow, you need to change from the teaching of the universal forms of behavior in specific situations to the teaching of specific forms of behavior in an imprecise reality. Coaching behavior may be a response to this demand.Item Przywództwo – ustalenia definicyjne i sposoby rozumienia(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Cybal-Michalska, AgnieszkaThis article picks up a few threads that focus on the subject of leadership, as well as on the possibilities of its empirical verification or implication in practice. In the last four decades it has been noticed that there are more and more various concurrent theoretical assumptions about leadership. The Author emphasises that the value of a debate about the leadership career theory is determined by the critical way of looking at the multiplicity of theoretical perspectives. The Author points to the fact that there is a need to generate new attitudes so that they are relevant to the dynamics of the modern world changes, as well as to challenges of effective leadership. The conceptual complexity of the leadership phenomenon and its multidimensionality, multidirectionality, flexibility and contextualism determine the need to integrate the multiplicity of positions and theoretical orientations.Item Szkolny kontekst psychologii pozytywnej. Studium empiryczne(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Czerniga-Puk, Paulina; Juńczyk, TomaszPrevious research on the effects of techniques of positive psychology on students’ psychological welfare and school grades bring very promising results. The authors decided to test the hypothesis of the impact of students’ attributional style on their grades in mathematics. For this purpose, a pilot study was conducted on a group of 68 students of lower secondary school. The results partially support the hypotheses tested. The article also provides a catalog of practical methodical recommendations for teachers. These recommendations have been implemented practically in educational context and its effectiveness have been proven.Item Poznawanie społecznego kontekstu rozwoju psychospołecznego uczniów w klasach IV-VI(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Deptuła, MariaThe article presents two scales for researching the social context of 4-6 graders’ psychosocial development. One focuses on the relations with peers from the same class while the other on the relations with teachers in a given class. Principles of social environmental psychology and Eric H. Erikson’s notion of developmental goals constitute a theoretical basis of their construction. The scales include four dimensions representing the non-specific (important throughout one’s life) developmental conditions. These are: sense of security; sense of ownership; sense of emotional contact and bond; sense of autonomy. They also include factors specific to the developmental phase that coincides with the period when children attend primary school. Those conditions facilitate developing a sense of competence and so two - sense of being valued and sense of support – were included. The scale for researching the context of psychosocial development in relations with other pupils consists of 19 items and the one pertaining to teacher relations includes 28 items. Both scales have a very high reliability (Cronbach’s alfa is, respectively, 0.938 and 926; mean correlations between positions are 0.455 and 0.311). The scales may be used by class teachers or school counsellors. They may be also applied to the research of, e.g. the efficiency of educational and preventive influences.Item z_życia_naukowego_Sprawozdanie z Ogólnopolskiej Konferencji Naukowej „Lalka, konik, klocki, miś pluszowy... zabawki dziecięce przez wieki” Gniezno, 18-20 października 2015 roku(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Nawrot-Borowska, Monika; Kabacińska-Łuczak, KatarzynaItem recenzje_noty_MIROSŁAW KOWALSKI, ANNA KNOCIŃSKA, PRZEMYSŁAW FRĄCKOWIAK (RED.), Resocjalizacja – edukacja – polityka społeczna.

Finally, analyzed are general issues related to the development of narrative skills at school: building “narrative” relationships and new ways of assessing learning outcomes.Item Globalne rankingi uniwersytetów i akademicka gra o status(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Gromkowska-Melosik, AgnieszkaNeoliberal struggle for social status and high financial rewards is also present in the field of education. My article is devoted to the problems of university rankings, which is also part of contemporary neoliberalism. I am convinced that rankings create to some extent contemporary academic reality. One can say that rankings dilute the traditional mission (and vision) of the university. Universities are treated as big companies, driven by success and profits. In the article the rankings issues are presented including the criticisms of their consequences.
