Item A Comparative Look on the Dropping out of Adolescents in Situations of Risk from the Bedouin Educational System in the Negev(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Abu Ajaj, IbraheemThe phenomenon of dropping out of students from the educational system in Israel has been stead-ily increasing in recent years. Many research studies that addressed the phenomenon of dropping out indicated an increase in the percentage of students dropping out from the Bedouin educational system in the Negev. The present research study examines the tendency to drop out of adolescents in situations of risk in the recognized Bedouin communities in comparison to adolescents in situations of risk in the unrecognized Bedouin communities with regard to different demographic variables and the involvement of the parents. These adolescents are daily exposed to emotional and social difficulties and do not receive adequate research attention. The issue of the dropping out of adolescents is an acute problem with considerable significance in the Arab sector in general and in the Bedouin communities in particular. The research study examines the situation today, the situation of the adolescents who are dropping out, their problems, and the reasons that led them to dropping out, in a comparison between the two types of Bedouin communities. The research findings will indicate possible ways for the reduction of the multidimensional phenomenon of dropping out. In light of the large gaps that exist between the educational system in Jewish society and the educational system in Bedouin society, the research study emphasizes that there is a direct impact on the Bedouin educational system, which directly influences the dropping out of students from the educational system in general and the dropping out of students in situations of risk. The sample consisted of 90 adolescents in situations of risk, 45 adolescents from recognized communities and 45 adolescents from unrecognized communities from different schools. In light of the examination of the research findings, it appears that the involvement of the parents influences the drooping out significantly. This finding indicates the importance of parental involvement in the school and its importance for the future of the children. In other words, a Bedouin child with an involved family will likely remain in the educational framework, while a Bedouin child whose parents are disconnected from his studies has increased chances to drop out of the educational system.Item Attitudes of Adolescents to the Involvement of their Parents in the School: the Relations Between Parents and Teachers(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Biber, ZoharSince the concept of the ‘school’ has existed, the triangle of parents, teachers, and students, in all that relates to the parental involvement in the school, has constituted a significant factor that saw ‘ups and downs’ over the years. Some supported the separation between the student’s home and the school, while others saw the connection and cooperation between them to be essential. This article examines students’ attitudes towards their parents’ involvement in school. This article will present the difficulties adolescents have with their parents’ authority and treatments for the era in which we live. Some research studies have found a correlation between parental involvement and its impact on children. The research study diagnoses the students’ positions according to quantitative questionnaires that were built and used. After analyzing quantitative questionnaires, the research attempted to draw conclusions about the tension that exists between the theories and studies showing the benefits of parental involvement regarding the results of the quantitative questionnaires.Item Constructing a career as a process of investing in its portfolio(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Cybal-Michalska, AgnieszkaMulticontextual social changes imply definitely new ways of interpretation and determine reflections about the condition of contemporary humans, including the human being as “a manager” of his own career. A society has become an area where individuals can show their initiative. A contemporary study of careers demands the inclusion of multicontextual changes in the job world. These changes face employees with new requirements. The most important ones are the increase of the role attached to a career and the ability to plan, manage and monitor one’s own career in a lifelong perspective. Considerations about a career cannot leave out the issue of the subjective sense that an individual finds in one’s own career in the context of possibilities that a man can have a satisfactory career. The world of careers is a world of numerous micro-changes. In the “portfolio” of micro-changes, the time between changes is reduced and after a period of stability renewed separation comes increasingly quickly.Item Cultural Diversity and its Implication on Parents’ Attitudes Toward their Child Learning Disability – An Outline of a Research Study(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Gonen-Avital, ShiriBackground: Israel is a land of immigration – a multicultural society with a mosaic of different cul-tures. There are four maim ethnic groups in Israel: "Sabre" (born in Israel), Arabs, Russian, and Ethiopian. The main aim of this article is to present the connection between two main issues: Culture Diversity and the Attitudes of Israeli parents to children with Learning Disability (LD). This article stems from a deep and extensive dissertation research on parents' attitudes toward their child Learning Disability in Israel and it is an outline of the research study. Family: The resilience and strength of the family depend on the social, cultural and personality of the family in general, and parents in particular. The parents play a crucial role in facilitating and maintaining wellness in children with developmental disorders. Learning Disability: Today, in the modern world, in the information era, when processing information skills are necessary in everyday life, Learning Disability turn into a widespread phenomenon. Learning disability is a general term that refers to a heterogeneous group of disorders manifested in the acquisition and operation of attention, speaking, reading, writing, or mathematical abilities. Within the Hebrew students in Israel (years 2013-2014), 10.10% are diagnosed with learning disability. In summary, due to the fact that Israel is an immigration country, it is vital to research the implication of parents' attitudes toward their child Learning Disability for the wellbeing of the family and the society.Item Kultura współpracy w szkole w percepcji nauczycieli szkół gimnazjalnych(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Tłuściak-Deliowska, Aleksandra; Dernowska, UrszulaSchool culture, more than any other single factor, determines the ultimate success or failure of any school. Undoubtedly, it is one of the indicators of school quality as well as a multifaceted concept composed of many factors. The article presents the results of the pilot study which was aimed to determine the perception of collaborative school culture by the teachers. The research was administered to middle schools’ teachers in the regions of Podkarpacie and Mazovia. The quantitative research perspective was used to obtain data to validate factors such as: unity of purpose, collaborative leadership, professional development, teacher collaboration, collegial support, and learning partnership. The Polish version of the School Culture Survey inventory (S. Gruenert, J. Valentine, 1998) was used. The results implied that teachers and school principals generally value and contribute to creating a collaborative school culture, but still do not pay as much attention as necessary to create learning partnership with parents.Item Kulturnation kontra Verfassungsnation – historyczny spór wokół obywatelstwa i narodowości w Niemczech(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Hildebrandt-Wypych, DobrochnaThe almost entirely elite-driven liberalization of the right to acquire citizenship collides currently with the increasingly xenophobic sentiments and openly anti-immigrant movements among the general public all over Europe. Even in Germany discussions about the liberalization of citizenship law in the late 1990s have become a symbolic part of the dispute between supporters of ethnocentric Kulturnation (the cultural nation) and the advocates of civic Verfassungsnation (the constitutional nation). The article presents the historical context of the development of the German citizenship policy. It also raises the question of the possibility to create and legitimize – on the basis of liberalized regulations of the law on citizenship – new definitions of a symbolic membership in a civic community, located outside the traditional, ethnically based citizenship regime.Item Kwestionariusz Reakcji Przystosowawczych (KRP) – polska adaptacja Reactions to Impairment and Disability Inventory – RIDI H. Livneha i R.F. Antonaka(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Byra, Stanisława; Kirenko, JanuszThe paper presents Polish adaptation of Reactions to Impairment and Disability Inventory (RIDI), measurement scale developed by H. Livneh and R. F. Antonak, in Polish referred to as Kwestionariusz Reakcji Przystosowawczych (KRP) [Adaptive Responses Inventory Questionnaire]. It describes the conceptual grounds for the tool, stages of the adaptation process and psychometric properties of the scale. Based on the analysis of results of a study conducted on a group of 940 individuals with acquired disabilities (after spinal cord injury, lower extremity amputation or multiple sclerosis) and chronic illnesses (diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and rheumatoid arthritis), reliability, stability and accuracy of the questionnaire were verified. Results of the factor analysis provided grounds for selection of 8 factors – categories of adaptive responses, in accordance with the original scale. Conducted adaptation works have confirmed satisfactory psychometric properties of the questionnaire which may be used in Poland to diagnose various categories of non-adaptive and adaptive responses after suffering a deterioration of ability or development of a chronic illness.Item MAŁGORZATA FRANC, Technika dostrzegania problemu T3/ZOOM. Kontekst edukacyjny [Малгожатu Франц, Техника для восприятия проблем T3/ZOOM. Oбразовательный контекст], LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing RU: OmniScriptum GmbH & Co. KG, Saarbrücken, Deutschland 2016, ss. 68(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Wowk, Myrosława; Banit, OlgaItem Multicultural Aspects in Educational Counseling in Israel(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Liviatan, Sarit AlbaldesMany waves of migration have shaped the multicultural structure of contemporary society in many countries, including Israel. Israeli society is multifaceted from almost every possible perspective. This diversity, with its implications, is expressed in all areas of life, including education. The multicultural approach opens a space of respect for all cultures, assuming that as the person as an individual and society as a whole will absorb components from different cultures in it there will be cultural richness. The educational system constitutes a main mechanism through which Israeli society is dealing with this issue. Many counsellors are required to address issues of intercultural encounter during their work. The counsellor’s involvement in this context in the school is expressed in different dimensions: knowledge in the school program and in the degree to which it fits the multiculturalism of the school population, relationship with the school staff about coping with the daily challenges of the intercultural topic, and parent involvement. Counselling in the school has a wide range of actions, including individualized work, group work and community work. The counsellors face many challenges in activity in the multicultural aspect. The school based on active and healthy pedagogical and counselling principles may cause significant community changes outside of its walls.Item Poczucie koherencji w konstruowaniu kariery (kontekst całożyciowego rozwoju jednostki)(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Piorunek, MagdalenaThe text The Sense of Coherence in Career Structuring (a Context of Lifelong Development of an Individual) describes the salutogenetic concepts of health and sense of coherence by A. Antonovsky that serve as an inspiration for reflections about the structuring of an individual’s vocational career. The Sense of Coherence (SOC) is a global orientation that expresses the extent to which one has an enduring and dynamic feeling of confidence that: – stimuli coming throughout one’s lifetime from the internal and external environments are structured, predictable and explainable (the sense of comprehensibility – a cognitive component); – resources are at one’s disposal which are adequate to meet the demands posed by these stimuli (the sense of manageability – a cognitive-instrumental component); – these demands are challenges that are worth investing effort and engagement (the sense of meaningfulness – an emotional-motivational component); The essay presents a hypothesis that the Sense of Coher-ence, as it develops over one’s lifetime, may foster an effective structuring (planning and realisation) of one's vocational career. A bi-directional relation exists between the structuring of one’s high and stable sense of coherence and the development of the biographical thinking and shaping of one’s biographical competence. These competencies can be developed in the process of upbringing and education and fostered by vocational guidance, especially in its non-directive dimension (coaching, tutoring).Item Postawy wrażliwości społecznej versus postawy pragmatyczne i ich osobowościowe uwarunkowania(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Czerniawska, MirosławaThe main aim of this research is investigation of social sensitivity attitudes and pragmatic attitudes. It was assumed that these attitudes depend on personality traits, like empathy and Machiavellian guilt. The study group consisted of 325 students. The Empathic Understanding of Others Questionnaire (Węgliński) and Mach V Scale (Christie and Geis) were used. The attitudes were diagnosed on the basis of the set of views (two pairs of statements from the publication edited by Reykowski). The study results show that social sensitivity attitudes were accepted by students having high empathy indices. Students having high Machiavellianism show a pragmatic attitude toward life.Item Poważna rola niepoważnych rymowanek. Zabawa (gra) słowna w literaturze dla dzieci – jej wartość edukacyjna(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Kuszak, KingaThe author tackles the subject of children’s literature, described by Jerzy Cieślikowski as “children’s folklore”. Her area of interest centres mainly around poetry addressed to children, which is considered the closest form of literature to this age group. Poetry refers to forms of activity natural for children: rhythmic movement, rhyming, singing, creating new words, asking questions, etc. The article points to the educational role of language games (plays) in poetry, which both answer children’s natural developmental needs and stimulate their linguistic competencies. The first part of the article discusses the sources of language play in poetry. The author highlights the role of the works of Jan Brzechwa and Julian Tuwim, who in the 1930s were the first to employ word play, unconventional use of idioms and proverbs, and nonsensical linguistic associations. They became a source of inspiration for contemporary children’s poets. The paper further analyses selected poems whose common feature is the use of language games not only to entertain but to educate and inspire creativity. The poems were divided into the following categories: poems-plays on sounds (letters), poems-plays on rhyme and rhythm, poems-plays on words, poems-plays on idioms and proverbs, poems-questions and poems-associations. The conclusion points to the role of adults as guides in the world of poetry for children and their role in preparing children to receive and understand the message of poetry.Item Poziom kompetencji matematycznych dzieci kończących edukację przedszkolną w systemie Montessori. Perspektywa badawcza(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Kaiser, IzabelaThe presented article discusses the issue of mathematical education in kindergartens that follow the Montessori education method. The basic assumptions of the educational system developed by M. Montessori have been discussed, with a special focus on mathematical education. The article presents the results of empirical research proving that children who complete their pre-school education in the Montessori system demonstrate a high level of mathematical competencies as indicated in the Core Curriculum for Pre-school Education. The best results obtained by the examined children related to such competencies as counting objects, discriminating between correct and faulty counting, determining if two sets are equal in number, using ordinal numerals and spatial orientation tasks, including telling left from right, determining directions and the position of objects. The tasks that proved the most difficult for all the examined children were those related to temporal orientation. The diagnosed high level of mathematical competencies of children completing their pre-school education leads to the optimistic conclusion that mathematical education based on the principles of the Montessori system ensures educational effectiveness.Item Project Based Learning (PBL) as a Promising Challenge of Teaching Mathematics(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Hilai, MiriMathematics has always presented a challenge, both for teachers and for pupils, all around the world. Teachers of mathematics of all time periods are interested in having their pupils master the mathematical skills and love math. They deliberate on ways of teaching-learning, because of the tremendous gaps in their pupils’ cognitive abilities and their non-uniform abilities to pay attention and to concentrate. It appears that the main solution in the frontal mathematics lessons is offered to the average pupils, but the main goal is to provide a solution for the entire classroom population. Over the years I have searched for different ways beyond frontal and individualized teaching, so that I could provide a solution for populations with different needs in the mathematics lessons. My search for alternative ways derived also from the need to promote the achievements and to boost the motivation, interest, curiosity, and enjoyment in the learning of mathematics. Contemporary research indicates that there is practical innovative learning which is active and involving; it is called project-based learning (PBL). PBL provides a solution for the improvement of the performances in mathematics, for the motivation of the pupils, and for the inspiration of interest and curiosity in and enjoyment from this field of knowledge. From my experience as a teacher in the past and from the reports of my students in the Gordon Academic College for Education in the PBL course, in such teaching a solution is provided for the different populations in the class. The pupils are engaged in learning in practical and realistic projects that are relevant to their lives. They are more active and autonomous, work cooperatively, and develop patterns of behaviour of independence in learning, self-orientation, and self-regulation. These skills and patterns of behaviour are important to their lives as adults and cultivate the six functions of the learner that are derived from the curriculum in Israel: sensory-motor, self-direction in learning and in its management, intrapersonal and interpersonal, cognitive and meta-cognitive.Item Rodzinne i partnerskie uwarunkowania dobrostanu studentów(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Jankowiak, BarbaraSubjective well-being constitutes and important area for positive psychology research. Building own feeling of happiness and satisfaction strongly depends on relations with other people. The aim of this thesis in the analysis of the relations between well-being and family relations or partnership relations of students. The results obtained showed that the retrospective positive evaluation of a relation between parents in the childhood period and own relations with the father were connected to the higher indicators of personal well-being. What has been obtained is also statistically important relation between secure attachment style and higher personal well-being as well as between the styles: evasion and anxiety-ambivalent and lower personal well-being. The prediction analysis proved that both non-secure styles decrease the well-being indicators, however, it did not prove that the secure style is the condition of well-being. With regards to intimate relations, the obtained results point that the form itself of the relations which is formed does not relate to the feeling of happiness but its quality definitely does. The obtained data also show that the people being in the relationships are more satisfied with life that singles.Item Ryzyko, kryzys, trauma jako przedmiot oddziaływań reprezentantów profesji pomocowych – wybrane konteksty społeczne i psychologiczne(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Bielska, Ewa; Czerkawski, AndrzejThe analysis covers chosen social (structural, systemic) and psychological determinants of the risk, crisis and trauma. Analysis emphasizes the factors essential from the perspective of activities realized by the representatives of social aid professions. It indicates the main risk factors of crisis and trauma, protective factors and chosen preventive and aid-related strategies realized in the crisis and trauma contexts (related to the different levels of their potential incidence).Item Społeczne (re)konstrukcje zawodu inżyniera w kontekście rosnącego udziału kobiet w tradycyjnie męskich obszarach zawodowych(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Szymczak, EmiliaNowadays, women more often want to pursue their professional aspirations in areas related to engineering. This is evidenced by statistical reports related to the growing participation of women in the polytechnic studies, as well as a growing proportion of young women working as engineer. It is inseparably connected with the contemporary changes and discoveries in technology, thanks to which the society - the remaining phase of permanent development - stands in the need for a greater number of specialists and workers in order to meet increasing, as well as constantly changing needs of social, economic and market conditions. This article is a (re)construction of professional functioning of women in engineering with special emphasis on factors which may provide an incentive to undertake this type of work; analysis of the same professional environment in the context of the problem of social inequality, as well as the phenomenon of masculinization of women in engineering.Item Sprawozdanie z Seminarium Naukowego „Miejsce i rola instytucji opiekuńczo-wychowawczych i edukacyjnych w rozwijaniu kompetencji rodzicielskich” Poznań, 16 czerwca 2016 roku(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Gajtkowska, MagdalenaItem Sprawozdanie z Seminarium „Critical pedagogy of peace" Poznań, 11-27 listopada 2016 roku(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Iwanicka, BeataItem Sytuacja edukacyjna małoletnich matek, wychowanek placówek opiekuńczo-wychowawczych. Perspektywa biograficzna(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Skowrońska-Pućka, AgnieszkaOne of the most severe consequences resulting from premature motherhood is the inability or shortening of the education period. Author’s empirical verification indicate that the majority of researched girls (underage mothers, educational care facilities foster-children) quickly leave school and interrupt education once their child is born. The narration analysis indicated that its main cause was the difficulty in combining the role of a mother and a student, together with the lack of support from the closest. Only few girls managed to continue education, unfortunately they chose private, evening schools which are known for low quality education. The presented fragmentary empirical verifications indicate that early parenthood reduces the education period. Educational-care facilities foster-children, coming from low-educated families and professional qualifications find it particularly hard or impossible to achieve secondary or even lower-secondary education. Lack of education and professional qualifications has lead them to take up low-income jobs, that do not require any qualifications or to obtain money illegally. Recognizing various consequences of premature motherhood, both individual and social, there is no doubt that teenage mothers, especially foster children of educational-care facilities, should be taken care of. There is only one legal record concerning the education of pregnant student or underage mothers, however, it is not precise, which means that schools have to interpret it by themselves and introduce their own procedures. The subject of the present article is prevention, support and help given to underage pregnant students or underage mothers by the teachers, educators, or peers, who are potential beneficiaries of help, i.e. underage mothers fulfilling the education duty.
