Item Changes in the Educational Practice in Kindergartens in the Czech Republic(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Burkovičová, RadmilaRelatively extensive changes are currently taking place in the system of preschool education in the Czech Republic, which will mainly affect the educational landscape of kindergartens. A personalityoriented model of preschool education requires a considerate, understanding and helping approach to each child. The joint education of all children, where inclusion occurs for certain children who were excluded from children’s communities in the past, is happening within the context of Czech and international legislation. Supporting measures are provided to children where required. However, such measures may ultimately also benefit the teacher.Item Conservative Perceptions for a Changing Reality. A Critical Look at the Professional Development of School Principals in Israel(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Nets, MaliAs a part of the worldwide trend, in Israel the issues of accountability in management, the school improvement, and the learners’ achievements are topics on the public agenda. In the attempt to address these challenges, Israel implemented a reform in the professional development of the principals, which was applied to the system with the establishment of the School Leadership Institute, Avnei Rosha (2007). The theoretical model of the professional development is based on the career stages approach, which originated in the research studies on the career circles of teachers and principals. These models examined characteristics of different stages in the professional life track of the teacher as well as the mental aspect of the principals’ perception of management throughout the career. The Israeli model adopted these theories as the basis for the professional development of principals and formed a comprehensive program of learning from the stage of the entry into the role to the stage of the retirement. The article will propose a critical look at the professional development program of the school principals from the third year in the role and onwards, on the background of the new challenges with which the Israeli educational system copes. The article will focus on the theoretical and practical aspects of the question of the professional development of principals, will review the influences of recent reforms on the professional development of principals from the third year in the position, will present the immanent gaps of the Israeli program applied to these principals, and will suggest issues for future thought.Item Dziecko w przestrzeniach języka ojczystego – wybrane aspekty(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Kuszak, KingaThe article discusses various spaces of children’s linguistic functioning and the wealth of linguistic experiences available in each of them. The author points to the fact that each of these spaces provides children with different vital experiences. The starting point for the reflections on the spaces of native language is Ferdinand de Saussure’s concept of speech as a human ability and language as a set of forms of speech uses. The term “linguistic space” and the criteria for determining a space were adopted from the works of Kwiryna Handke who emphasized that language, as an integral structural component of social space and the community that uses it, plays two roles in this space: it reflects the community’s perception of its surroundings and provides help and basic tool for shaping the space. Therefore, the forms of language use differ according to the spaces, situations and roles which one encounters. The next part of the paper presents selected vocabulary that children may potentially acquire in the following spaces: family, kindergarten (school), peer group, via Internet communication, as viewers of TV commercials and readers (recipients) of literature. The summary presents the spaces of children’s linguistic functioning in the form of a chart, taking into account the roles adopted by children in each space, places and situations distinctive of the space, as well as the words, expressions, and language tools typical for each space.Item Edukacja tubylcza a procesy rewitalizacji etnicznej autochtonicznych mniejszości – wybrane modele i egzemplifikacje(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Gmerek, TomaszThe article deals with the issue of the relation between indigenous education and mainstream schooling in processes of autochtonous minorities ethnic revitalization. Particular emphasis was placed on reconstructing educational practices of indigenous schooling that is implemented toward indigenous minorities. An attempt was made at examining selected models of indigenous education concerning the relationship between schooling, language policy, teachers education and revitalization and development of languages, cultures, traditions and ethnic identity in contemporary multicultural societies.Item Edukacyjna rola szkoły i nauczyciela wychowania fizycznego w kształtowaniu aktywności fizycznej młodzieży(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Wartecka-Ważyńska, AgnieszkaPhysical activity is an important element in psychophysical development of any human, including children and young people. Rational and regular participation in vigorous physical activity contributes to improvement and maintaining good health status. It also affects mood of a person and determines the quality of his or her life. The aim of the paper is to determine the role of school in the context of the factors that stimulate physical activity among young people at the age of 16 to 20 years. The paper has a literature-based and empirical character. The basic research methodologies adopted in the study included analysis of subject literature, diagnostic survey using questionnaire technique, and a statistical method. The questionnaire survey was carried out in 2012-2013 in secondary schools in the region of the Greater Poland Voivodeship in Poland in a group of 850 students. The study demonstrated that young people are physically active and participate in different forms of sport and recreation. However, one third of the young people studied spend their leisure time in a passive manner. They are not involved in any physical activity and spend their leisure time playing computer games, watching the TV, socializing, reading books and magazines and listening to the music. It should be noted that, in this context, the role of physical education teachers and school is critical.Item Globalne testy szkolne i ukryty program neoliberalnej kolonizacji(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Gromkowska-Melosik, AgnieszkaTests have influence on the phenomenon of stratification and selection of students, their lifestyle and way of thinking. Without a doubt, they have their hidden curriculum. At the micro level tests shape the identity of the individual. They are a factor of socialization. On the other hand, at the macro level tests are the significant instrument of educational policy governments. In my article I analyse the econd problem – in the context of international developments PISA tests, which are an instrument of neo-liberal policies of national governments, as well as the OECD. The tests are part of the abandonment of the idea of "equality in education" for the system market and competitiveness, in which education ceases to be a "public good" and becomes a "personal good." The essence of the hidden curriculum PISA test is the pursuit of homogenization student population living in culturally different countries as well as the shaping the attitudes of rivalry.Item Hearing Impairment and its Reflection in Psychological Diagnostics(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Potmesilova, Petra; Potmesil, Milon; Bełza, MagdalenaThe authors hereby present a report on research aimed at the possibilities of adjustments of psychodiagnostic materials to be used in the population of children with hearing impairments in order to reduce or eliminate the functional impact of the defect on the child's performance and consequently on the diagnostic process. The adjustment was made by formal language modification without intervention in the content, and by the creation of a version in Czech sign language. The B4J.E.P.I. personality questionnaire and a comprehension subtest using the Wechsler intelligence scale for children (further WISC4III) were experimentally modified and tested in practice between 2011 and 2016.Item Husserlowski świat życia codziennego i jego znaczenie pedagogiczne(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Gara, JarosławThe world of everyday life was for Husserl the most original expression of the "radical beginning" of human experience and the accompanying senses and meanings. It is a world limited by time-space, one to which we all belong, together with our traditions, habits and interests. Whatever happens in the horizon of the world of everyday life thus relates to ourselves, because it is the world of the living organisms – and these can experience joy and fear, can work and rest, attack or flee, expect, await or desire something. In this sense, it is the world dialectically interpenetrating contradictions and aporias. It is a world where what is limited and unlimited, physical and spiritual, ordinary and extraordinary are intertwined, but also in an a priori manner are determined by the specific relationships between them. From this point of view, there are three basic general relationships which allow to classify and clarify the pedagogical principles: 1) what is infinite in the finite, 2) what is cultural in the natural, 3) what is extraordinary in the ordinary. Experiencing the world of everyday life reminds us, after all, that the infinite, the spiritual, the extraordinary is de facto encompassed by and found in what is finite, physical and ordinary.Item Interdyscyplinarne, sieciowo-systemowe podejście do procesu readaptacji i reintegracji społecznej osób skazanych i ich rodzin(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Nowak, Beata MariaThe author presents a holistic, network and systemic approach to the provision of assistance and support for individuals who are marginalised, at risk of exclusion and excluded. The author sees the adaptation of the clustering idea and theory and the compatible coopetition strategy as a real chance for a breakthrough in thinking about social re*adaptation and reintegration and for an effective modernisation of an inefficient prevention and social rehabilitation system.Item Kreowanie doświadczeń liminalnych w szkole z wykorzystaniem metody dramy edukacyjnej(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Jaskulska, SylwiaThe aim of the paper is to consider the possibility of creating liminal experiences at school with the method of educational drama and the pedagogical potential of such activities. Treated as the medium phase of rite, I define liminality in line with Arnold van Genepp and Victor Turner. By claiming that for many reasons school is a liminal space and showing that the fact that this function is neglected at the cost of the transmission function is a problem, I present drama as a possible antidote.Item Kształtowanie gotowości do zmiany jako element działań preparacyjnych w procesie resocjalizacji(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Chojecka, JanaThis article approximates the main issues relate to question what can make social rehabilitation more effective and efficient. Contemporary research focus on concept of readiness and motivation as main components of effective programming for offenders. In the literature we can find many different definitions used by researchers to describe the fenomenon of being ready, willing and able to engage in social rehabilitation process and to change offending behaviors. I will try to show some theories how people change and some methods which can increase readiness to engage in programms.Item Kultura organizacyjna szkoły integracyjnej w zwierciadle kultury pogranicza(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Gajdzica, ZenonThe thesis is put forward in the presented article that the organizational specificity of integrated education creates a unique culture with some characteristics of typical borderland. Integrated school is a place where the dominating and the subordinated culture clash and/or collaborate. Depending on the precisely specified assumptions, beliefs, the recognized values and norms (consolidated within the institutional knowledge of a particular school), two different cultures of integrated school can be formed. These cultures are shaped by two types of social practices and two different models of the functioning of school. The study is aimed at a preliminary attempt to specify these models. They are assumed to comprise a set of notions which constitute analytical categories useful in describing the daily routine of school. Moreover, these models may become a tool for interpreting and understanding the states, processes and features of some elements of school and their interrelations.Item MARIAN SURDACKI, Opieka społeczna w Polsce do końca XVIII wieku, Towarzystwo Naukowe Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego Jana Pawła II, Lublin 2016, ss. 638(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Bednarz-Grzybek, RenataItem Miejsca pamięci w edukacji obywatelskiej(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Majchrzak, KingaThe text starts with a short introduction.

Analiza porównawcza(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Chomczyńska-Rubacha, Mariola; Rubacha, KrzysztofThe present text is a comparative analysis of models of school moral education due to the criteria of the moral competence development. We refer to the already described in the literature models: clarification of values, stimulate moral reasoning, formation of character and community justice. These models will be confronted with moral competence, which we understand as a system of knowledge of the values, skills, moral activities and taking responsibility for their actions. Results of the analysis showed that the model of community justice best meets with the criteria of moral competences.Item Music Education as a Key Factor in the Full Development of a Child(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Kłysz-Sokalska, NataliaMusic education is a field of pedagogy dedicated to the development of the individual through artistic action, which is manifested in various forms and activities. Properly conducted music education has a beneficial effect on the right development of child. Research shows that music education stimulates the competence of child's language and mathematical skills, affect the development of creative child's personality and its socialization. Neurodidactics points to the significance of playing the instruments to neurogenesis and the development of skills of concentration, memory and attention. Movement to music, however, is developing spatial and mobility coordination, involves sight and hearing, which has a beneficial effect on the mastery of the whole body – muscles and nervous system. Unfortunately, despite the enormity of the positive aspects, music education is treated superficially, which shows a small amount of hours music lessons at school and inadequate preparation and attitude of teachers for music education. The difficulty with which collides every day music education is also a contemporary musical culture. The low level of the presented music content being the only "marketing product" makes that music education becoming too elitist activity, or is forced to follow along with system.Item Nastoletnie macierzyństwo – szansa czy ograniczenie? Doświadczenia małoletnich matek z grup defaworyzowanych(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Skowrońska-Pućka, AgnieszkaThis article deals with the issues of early motherhood. Early parenting is a critical event in the life of teenage girls. Teens are mentally and socially immature and unprepared to fulfill the role of mother. Besides minor mothers usually come from poor families, are pupils in primary or secondary schools, do not work, do not have a steady income and own apartment, and in this case remain under the custody care and educational institution. The article is an attempt to answer the question, as teenagers from disadvantaged groups, pupil of childcare centers and describe the experience of motherhood. What is surprising, despite initial concerns and difficulties in retrospect evaluate them as a gift and a blessing, a source of valuable life experience and even a protective factor against the occurrence of other problems care and education.Item Niezamierzone skutki stosowania testów wysokiej stawki. Lekcja z amerykańskiej reformy NCLB(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Zawistowska, AlicjaEducational decision makers willingly draw on solutions adopted in other countries. It was also the case in Polish educational reform started in late 90s. Since the introduction of the reform, Poland joined countries whose educational system is divided into three levels, each ending with an exit exams and core curriculum is set to teaching standards. The exams seem to be the most important element of the Polish reform. While the designers of educational policies are often inspired by the experiences of other countries during the planning phase, they are less willing to learn from them when it comes to predicting outcomes of the reform. A good case to analyze potential consequences of high'stakes testing is United States, where standardized tests have been administered since the beginning of the era of mass education. In this paper I will analyze the effects of the last, most controversial federal reform, commonly known as No Child Left Behind introduced in 2002. Findings of the study might be used to predict potential unintended effects of using the high stakes tests for accountability policy. The article addresses the problem of test scores inflation as well as the factors which may accelerate it.Item On the Continuum Between Educational and Academic Goals – Results from a Qualitative Research on Israeli High School Homeroom Educators and Subject Teachers(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Bar Gosen, NoahThis research project presents different role perceptions regarding educational and academic aims, among high school instruction personnel. Since its foundation the Israeli education system has defined its role as a socialization agent as well as an academic institution. As national and international achievement tests became more widespread, the focus on academic aspect increased and the influence of academic excellence on school grading can be seen as more influential in comparison to educational achievements. Semi-structured interviews of 14 high school teachers – homeroom educators and subject teachers – were conducted. Results show that homeroom educators put more emphasis on educational aims while subject teachers put more emphasis on academic achievements. Their definition of success was a mixture of both objectives. Homeroom educators tend to apply educational inclusive practices while subject teachers tend to apply instructional ones. International research emphasizes the importance of educational aims and inclusive practices in promoting academic achievements for all (OECD, 2010). The emphasis on evaluation and assessment of academic achievements may results in exclusive practices. These results suggest that adding educational achievements to schools' evaluation scales can encourage all instruction personnel to promote educational aims and inclusive practices as well as academic ones, thus contributing to schools' performance in evaluation tests.Item Orientacja na uczestnictwo współczesnej młodzieży – stan i potrzeby edukacyjne(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Kanclerz, BożenaThe main goal of this article is to discuss the social involvement of young people and the associated social trust. Article refers to the theoretical analysis and the results of their research. In the first part author analyzes the social participation and confidence in the institutions of social life. Results of the study are compared with other results. On the one hand, young people declare their willingness to help others. On the other hand, often insufficiently actively participate in social life and do not trust the institution. The second part of the article author draws attention to the formal and informal education as a tool for development of social skills.
