Item Different Rola Perceptions and Student-Teacher Relationship Characteristics, Among High School Homeroom Educators and Subject Teachers' – Results From a Qualitative Research(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Gosen, Noah BarTeaching staff in Israel is expected to fulfill the role of civil and moral educators alongside their instructional roles. In order to achieve that goal, the Israeli education system has defined two distinct entities: the first is the unique position of the “mechanech kita”, or a homeroom educator, whose role is to address all aspects of the students’ lives. The second role is the subject teacher, who teaches a specific subject in various classes. Semi-constructed interviews of 14 high school teaching staff helped to shed light on the perceptions and practices concerning role definition and the teacherstudent relationship. The results show that homeroom educators emphasize a holistic view and perceive responsibility for the “whole student”. Both instructors valued a strong and consistent relationship with their students, but homeroom educators invested more time and employed more varied strategies to achieve it. Subject teachers emphasized scholastic aspects and practices. The results show that different role definitions lead to different role perceptions and student-teacher relationship characteristics. Further research concerning the implications of such differences on educational and inclusive processes within the school system. Implications concerning teachers’ professional training course should be considered as well.Item Recenzje i noty - MARIA DĄBROWSKA-BĄK, KATARZYNA PAWEŁEK, „Opresja w szkole”, czyli o przyjemności czytania książek napisanych nie na stopień, Wydawnictwo Akademickie Żak, Warszawa 2014, ss. 324(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Andrzejewski, MarekItem Konflikt między rodzicami jako czynnik ryzyka nieprzystosowania dzieci i młodzieży(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Jankowiak, BarbaraThe aim of the article is to analyze parental conflict as a risk factor of difficulties experienced by their children. Research studies have shown that parental conflict is connected with maladjustment, defined as internalizing and externalizing problems. The difficulties experienced by children contribute to a deepening of the conflict between partners, especially in the field of parenting. The research cited proves that children and adolescents in families with conflicts and arguments should be given psychological and pedagogical help since they are in a risk group with disorders and maladjustment.Item Słownictwo specjalistyczne uczniów w młodszym wieku szkolnym. Zainteresowania i doświadczenia utrwalone w języku(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Kuszak, KingaThe article addresses the subject of specialist vocabulary, an element of every person’s idiolect. The author attempts to present a thesis, based on the analysis of up-to-date literature from the field of psychology, pedagogy and linguistics, that its development is a result of individual interests and experiences collected in various life situations, starting from early stages of development. Its first manifestations can be seen in preschool-aged children, which is corroborated by the existing research on children’s language development. The author starts her reflections by presenting issues related to the formation of individual interests and experiences as important factors in the expansion of the individual vocabulary of a person. She proceeds to note the specific nature of childhood vocabulary development, underlining the quantitative and the qualitative aspect of expanding one’s vocabulary. She treats these issues as the background for presenting specialist vocabulary, i.e. professional language from various disciplines of science, art and sport. The author concludes her reflections with examples of early school age students’ utterances about their interests. She presents and analyses the children’s utterances, showing the wealth and variety of specialist vocabulary related to history, sport, art, dance and theatre used by young school students. The final part includes guidelines and suggestions for teachers working with children of early school age.Item Orientacje życiowe młodzieży – ich uwarunkowania i przemiany(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Kanclerz, BożenaThe main goal of this article is to present issues relating to life orientations on theoretical, methodological and empirical levels. The results of research on youth conducted over three decades show changes in young people’s views, ideas and values. The text focuses on multi-contextual social changes that have a huge impact on life orientations. It moreover touches on the impact of education on the development of orientations. The article indicates the need for re-defining the concept of life orientations as a theoretical construct which is being transformed in the postmodern changing world.Item The Empowerment of Girls in the Classroom(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Noriany, OrliThe general topic of the research is the empowerment of girls in the classroom. The research focuses on the increase of the motivation of girls and their belief in their ability, the creation of warm and close communication between the girls and the teacher, and the changes in technology in the 21st century – all with the goal of empowering the achievements of girls in the field of mathematics and in essence minimizing the differences between girls and boys in the field. From our experience, girls do not empower themselves in the field of mathematics. Girls allow boys to dominate the lessons, to manage the class discussion, to contribute of their knowledge – and girls remain silent. When afterschool enrichment classes in mathematics are recommended to boys and girls, the number of boys exceeds the number of girls, and in actuality, beyond the recommendations, the girls do not attend these courses. Already in the elementary school, the girls lag behind, and this staying behind causes them to make their choices accordingly and thus they lose an important economic resource. We are certain that it is possible to make a change, and we will begin with our attitude toward the girls in the classroom. We will look at our behaviors as teachers, effective behaviors for the promotion of teaching and learning, and we will apply these behaviors to girls, implementing a corrective preferential reference in our behavior.Item Samochód, tożsamość i płeć kulturowa(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Melosik, ZbyszkoMy article is devoted to selected contexts of the car as a sociological phenomena, primarily in the context of the constructions of gender. I am convinced that the car is not only a product of modern technology; it is connected with meanings and symbols of the socio-cultural reality. It is a symbol of freedom, autonomy, individualism and privacy. From the very beginning of its existence, the car was seen as an integral part of male identity and the “car culture” was seen as definitely masculine. However, in the first decades of the twentieth century women driving cars have become a powerful symbol of gender equality. The author discusses these problems in the context of contemporary culture.Item Kompetencje muzyczne w młodszym wieku szkolnym a płeć badanych uczniów(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Bonna, BeataThe article aims to present research allowing the assessment of the musical competence of pupils in the early years of primary school, consisting of perceptual musical abilities and basic knowledge of music. These were assessed using: the subtest of auditory perception Tonal Concepts and Rhythm Concepts – Audiation/Listening/Level 1, from the E.E. Gordon’s IOWA Tests of Music Literacy battery, the author’s own Test of Perceptual Musical Abilities and the Test of Music Knowledge. The tests used in the study asses important aspects of the perception of music and musical knowledge, demonstrating a complex structure of these competences. There are few studies of this kind and the analysis that takes into account gender differences provides significant information on the strong and weak aspects of the competences. The results did not confirm the often reported results suggesting that girls do better in music-related tests.Item EEG biofeedback: charakterystyka, zastosowanie, opinie specjalistów(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Walkowiak, HannaThe development of knowledge about the functioning of the human brain along with the rapid increase in the share of new technologies in today’s life have led to a more frequent use of modern technologies in the therapy of patients. EEG biofeedback is an example of such applications, a method of work aiming to elaborating a positive (from the patient’s point of view) condition of the body through a spontaneous formation of appropriate brain waves. This article shows what EEG biofeedback is and what its applications are. Furthermore, it presents a general history of the human brain research and the results of studies, which refer to the opinions of experts (neurologist of children, sociologist and therapist, and psychologist) about the subject – knowledge, adequate application and use in therapy (pedagogical/ psychiatric). Studies have shown a variety of attitudes to EEG biofeedback. The participants of the study were representatives of various scientific communities.Item Orientacja na testy w szkolnictwie współczesnym – kontrowersje ideologiczne i pedagogiczne(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Gromkowska-Melosik, AgnieszkaThe purpose of the article is reconstruction of the problem of ideological and social controversies surrounding the growing importance of the tests in determining the boundaries of contemporary neoliberal school reality. There is no doubt that in recent years the focus of the test-driven policies applied in the context of both formal and social criteria for evaluating students and schools has shifted decisively towards tangible results associated with the tests results. You can even tell that the phenomenon of "testing obsession" has dominated everyday life of the school and the identity of the students and has replaced student-centering learning. The author of the article considers these problems against the background of theory and reality.Item Taylor Swift – od skromnej „dziewczyny z sąsiedztwa” do bohaterki postfeministycznego świata(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Gromkowska-Melosik, AgnieszkaIn the pop-culture studies one can find different categories and classifications of heroes and idols. The most come concept of an idol refers to a person which undertakes a role of "frame of reference" for the young people's thinking about themselves. The idols are important factors in the shaping of identity of contemporary youth, forming patterns of identity and body. This article is devoted to the Taylor Swift, who achieved unprecedented popularity among young people, which is confirmed by the fact that on the American site, "What To Do With The Kids" (a popular game portal, games and creative activities for children), in the competition for the best identity pattern for children (which is amazing – elected in a vote parents) for the year 2013 she took first place in the category "best personal model for girls”. In the first part of her career she has embodied ideal of modest but selfconscious „girl next door”; but in the second part - the sexually explicit women of power and excitement. One must add that she is accused for moving the dreams and aspirations of young women: from education to the scene and from the search for the meanings of life for the pleasure of consuming the pop culture. Also, is criticised for promoting values and lifestyle oriented primarily towards beautiful body and consumption.Item Formalne podstawy edukacji a polityka gender mainstreaming(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Pankowska, Dorota; Chomczyńska-Rubacha, MariolaThe article analyses and interprets the results of research about a hidden curriculum of gender roles in the act on the education system and the core curriculum of Polish school. The diagnosis is going to check what philosophy of education and what patterns of gender roles are hidden behind the texts of those documents. Is it an image of gender equality or inequality? The base our research is gender blind, neutral and sensitive education category. The results of our research are the starting point for constructing recommendations for educational policy.Item Research Into Students’ ICT Competencies and Their Use in ICT at Selected Universities. A Polish – Czech Comparative Study(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Gajdzica, Anna; Ogrodzka-Mazur, Ewa; Chmura, Milan; Malach, JosefDue to the occurring changes, teaching qualifications cannot be assumed as unchangeable, nor can a permanent list of required pedagogical competences be established. Therefore, what is necessary is appropriate preparation of students – future teachers. This is associated with increasing the effectiveness of teacher training and with the need of lifelong education, which is a requirement of modern times. In this situation, the studies aimed at diagnosing students’ competences gain particular significance. They can enable verification and implementation (still at the stage of university studies) of some classes which will ensure optimal professional and social functioning of future teachers. The studies discussed in the article were conducted in 2014-2015 within the IRNet project: International research network for study and development of new tools and methods for advanced pedagogical science in the field of ICT instruments, e-learning and intercultural competences in Poland, University of Silesia, Faculty of Ethnology and Education in Cieszyn, and in the Czech Republic, University of Ostrava, Pedagogical Faculty. The research aimed at specifying the level of information-communication, intercultural and technological (ICT) competences which Polish and Czech students acquire in the course of education.Item Tutoring rówieśniczy a wspomaganie rozwoju społecznych mechanizmów uczenia się w wieku wczesnoszkolnym(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Marchow, MartaPeer tutoring, as an educational strategy in one-to-one relations, is based on the collaboration between a lower- and a higher-performing students. Though both the tutor and the tutee roles enhance social learning strategies, I particularly focus on some developmental effects of tutors’ performance. The tutor’s role seems to have a special impact on the development of thought monitoring and on the awareness of the social demands of instruction. Differences in competences between children are a stimulating factor in promoting social learning strategies development. The process is strongly mediated by the theory of mind in students and thus influences further educational achievements. Moreover, peer tutoring does not seem to be less effective as a spontaneous interaction between children as compared to tutoring organized and monitored by adults.Item Tożsamość jednostki w warunkach kultury indywidualizmu – problem społecznego zaangażowania. Wokół rozważań Richarda Sennetta(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Leszniewski, TomaszThe text attempts to discuss the thesis of Sennett about the crisis of engagement in the public sphere. The reason is the psychologization process of the human person. The Habermasian theory of personal development (three types of identity) was used for this purpose; it gives the opportunity to discern differences of individuals reacting to the situation of socio-cultural transformations indicated by R. Sennett. The ideas contained in the article conclude with a hypothesis that the negative impact of the culture of individualism associated with the dissemination of the “psychologization” model of the human person relates chiefly to the type of natural identity or the identity of role, which so far did not constitute forces forming a public sphere.Item Sprawozdanie z Seminarium Naukowego „Współpraca instytucji opiekuńczo-wychowawczych i edukacyjnych z rodziną” Poznań, 15 czerwca 2015 roku(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Gajtkowska, MagdalenaItem Sprawozdanie z Ogólnopolskiej Konferencji Naukowej „Komunikacja werbalna. Znaczenia – Perspektywy – Kontrowersje” Poznań, 23 kwietnia 2015 roku(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Przybyszewska, DominikaItem „Dziewczyny na politechniki” – analiza wybranych przekazów reklamowych promujących przełamywanie stereotypów zawodowych i barier płciowych w obszarze męskich kierunków studiów(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Szymczak, EmiliaNowadays it is difficult to clearly define what still belongs to strictly masculine domain and what no longer belongs to it. Considering the fight for women’s social equality as well as a number of socioeconomical strategies, practices and tendencies we can say about successive pushing back the boundaries and discovering more distant areas of knowledge, education and realisation of occupational duties. Broadly defined commercial messages that contribute to promoting occupations which are non-stereotypically feminine are the subject matter of this article. Its aim is also to present how, through these kind of social practices, women’s attention is attracted to other, as yet inaccessible to them majors, educational areas as well as which techniques are used firstly in order to direct women’s educational preferences and then their occupational aspirations as effectively as possible.Item Związki uczuciowe adolescentów w perspektywie rozwojowej – przegląd wyników badań(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Kacprzak, KamilaYoung people engage into their first romantic relationships, which evolve and change in terms of both content and function. The aim of this article is to present the role and importance of adolescents’ romantic relationship in their further development and to describe these relations based on a review of research results found in English-language scientific articles. The structure of presentation follows the categories proposed by W.A. Collins: involvement, partner selection, contents, quality, cognitive and emotional processes. Analysis shows that engaging in a romantic relationship during the adolescence period may differentiate the execution of developmental tasks expected during the adolescence period and also the effects of relationships in early adulthood. The research results also show that adolescents’ romantic relationships are changeable and dynamic. The picture of these relations differs and depends on whether they were established during early or late adolescence. These properties are reflected in each of the analyzed categories.Item A New Way to View Perceptions of the Quality of Life of Families Who Have a Child With Tourette Syndrome(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2015) Khoury, RitaThe purpose of this study was to gather data from the families of children with Tourette Syndrome (TS), in order to examine the extent to which the existence of a child with TS in the family affected their Family Quality of Life (FQOL). The research was conducted according to the mixed methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. Data was collected from 25 families of children with TS. The questionnaire was analyzed statistically and the interviews were analyzed using a content analysis method. Conclusions derived from the research findings allowed the development of the ACEIST model, including five new sub-domains of FQOL that reflect the experiences of the studied families: advocacy, cooperation, explanation, information, and the severity of TS. This is a new way to view the FQOL of families who have a child with TS which is very precise, functional and family-specific. This ACEIST model fills the knowledge gap in this field, contributing to our knowledge regarding the FQOL of families who have a child with TS. The new model has practical implications for education as well as social and health policies in Israel regarding families who have a child with TS.
