This paper examines the relation between emotional intelligence and adolescent's perception of family interactions. 303 adolescents completed self-report measure of parent's educational styles (Rys, 2001). Emotional intelligence was measured with the Emotional Intelligence Scale (Schutte et al., 1998; polish adaptation by Jaworowska and Matczak, 2001), and the Understanding Emotions Test (Matczak, Piekarska, 2008). The results indicate that individual differences in adolescent's emotional intelligence are related to their family experiences. The adolescents brought up in a democratic parents' educational style distinguish themselves from those who were brought up in an autocratic parents' educational style as having higher level of emotional intelligence.

Based on a brief analysis, the text is dealing with identifying multiculturalism as an ideology related to neo-Marxism as well as postmodernism. Some of the fundamental features of postmodernism are represented by scepticism towards the truth and the end of great story-telling, plurality of discourses which are caused by our interpretation and their mutual incommensurable. In critical sociology (engaged, radical, or so-called new sociology), social events are explained by the distribution of power, resources, opportunities and property, and this unequal distribution reflects and maintains social inequality. It is possible to reflect these characteristics not only theoretically, but practically as well - looking at multicultural education, which is considered to be the modern educational tool of the multicultural society. This text is pointing out some of its drawbacks and dangers through the dimension of school change (curricular change not governed by the 'western view' and organizational change corresponding with principles of 'child-centred education' and pedagogical pragmatism) and society change (internally diversified society in which still diversity is being deepened). Moreover, it is showing its worthlessness based on incorrect understanding of goals of the humanities - Aristotle's orthos logos (R. Scruton).

The authoress makes an attempt to present some elements of the documents that determine the shape of the Voluntary Labor Corps for Youngsters, and the events during which the employees of the local subsidiaries, like the Youth Career Centers, have redefined those elements. Moreover, the she tried to determine redefining strategies adopted during the process, which included the strategies of emphasizing, rewarding, camouflage and dramaturgic rationality. All this took place at an organizational meeting and during the opening ceremony of a subsidiary, which the authoress attended as a part of the research activities. These issues are important due to the fact that they present a fragment of organizational reality of the Voluntary Labor Corps - an institution that is currently undergoing some interesting changes within its organizational structure. In the paper, the authoress invokes the metaphor of the theatre used as a research perspective in order to facilitate the text and stress the dramaturgic dimension of counseling in case of the Voluntary Labor Corps.

The paper is of an informative character and presents a unique phenomenon, namely the Bealtaine Festival. In the first part, the authoress cites demography of Irish society and refers to the forecasts concerning the ageing of the world's population. The second part of the article entitled Bealtaine - general information covers the key organizational assumptions of the Festival. Furthermore, the authoress mentions some of the projects and events that took place during the 2006 and 2007 Festivals. Next part of the article entitled Bealtaine 2008 is devoted to some basic information about the 2008 Festival. Given the nationwide nature of the Bealtaine Festival, the paper does not cover all of the events taking place there limiting the description to two unique projects. Moreover, the authoress notes that although the Bealtaine might have been a pioneering venture, the idea of such events had already been put into practice in Wales and the Netherlands. Finally, a brief summary stresses the importance of the Festival for socio-cultural life in the Republic of Ireland.

In this article the authors present an analysis of a social movement, which was founded at the University of Gdansk in 2009 - 'OKUPÉ' (Open Committee for Liberation of the Educational Space). Their study employs sociological concepts concerning social movements and concentrates on different aspects of the social learning process - indirectly referring to the role of active citizenship in adult education. In order to gain the insider perspective on these issues, participatory action research (sociological intervention in particular) was chosen as a methodological approach. In addition, this paper is also a record of International Student Movement networking process and its initiatives for free and emancipatory education for all.

The purpose of the investigation was to study the relationship beetwen anxiety and memory. The experiment were carried out with 153 subjects, 16 - 18 years old, with the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and a list containing words with different emotional valence. High-state anxious had general memory results worst than low-state anxious at a tendency level. Both low and high state anxiety was connected with neutral and positive words preference. Low-state anxious remembered significantly more neutral and positive words than high-state anxious. The next question concerned the influence of music on mood. Both relaxing and threatening music had an influence on mood's dimensions, measured by UMACL. It was expected that changes in state anxiety, reached by using appropriated kind of music, would manifest in memory preferences. It appeared that high-state anxious in threatening conditions and low-state anxious in non-threatening conditions remember more neutral and positive words. Comparisons between groups showed that high-state anxious in threatening conditions remembered more negative words and had general memory results better than high-state anxious in non - threatening conditions. Also in non-threatening conditions, high-state anxious remembered more negative words than high-state anxious in threatening conditions.

When focused on school's modernity, one should not only consider its instructional academic aid equipment, computers' laboratories or gym halls, but also intelligent and wise teachers. If the contemporary school is to fulfil the society needs, it requires the involvement of students, who are going to become teachers in the future. Therefore it is so crucial to engage them in getting occupational competences, during their studying time. In the text the authoress is taking an attitude towards the thesis stating that students, during their university education, are rather more concentrated and interested in getting the diploma - as a value in itself, than in getting real competences, which enable them to take up work in the profession of a pedagogue. The thesis, that students put high requirements for the academic teachers, while the do not demand the same from themselves, will also be presented. Her argumentation comes from an analysis of research carried out among students of Pedagogy of Culture, who are studying at the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology at the University in Bialystok, and on the ground of the observed students' attitude towards studying pedagogical contents. She is presenting the short characteristic of the researched students from Pedagogy of Culture as well as describing students' opinions concerning the teacher's occupation. In the next part of the article the authoress is presenting and analysing indexes of the students' involvement in studying: devoting time to preparing for classes, the independence in obtaining knowledge, the way of preparing for classes and methods of acquiring new material, as well as their attitude towards transmitting pedagogical contents. She is also analysing the second matter: the students' expectations to the academic teachers and the deficiency of student's responsibility for the quality of their education. The final conclusion of both, the summary and the whole article is that the students of pedagogics are lacking an involvement in studying.

The authoress presents research results of a study of pupils in primary and middle schools in central Poland. The research assesses the effectiveness of the use of various methods and didactic techniques in relation to pupils' interest in nature, biology and environmental protection. The work also evaluates pupils' approach to the environment. The research shows that field trips, observations and experiments directly carried out in the environment itself, all of which are highly valued, do not influence pupils' interest in nature, biology, or environmental protection, because teachers rarely use these methods, or do not use them at all.

The study looks at reasons behind the low employment level in Hungary that have to do with educational attainment. The starting point is an international comparison of the educational attainment structure of the population. The comparison is impeded by uncertainties about how to classify certain levels in the Hungarian school system. There are strong substantive reasons for saying that a qualification from a skilled worker or vocational school should be placed in a category lower than the upper secondary level. If that classification is applied, the educational attainment of Hungary's population in 2001 fell significantly short of the average for the EU countries, despite the large scale expansion of education in the 1990s. The still high proportion of ill educated can be attributed mainly to a break in the mid-1980s in a long term trend: the proportion of each cohort attaining a very low level of schooling had been falling steadily since the beginning of the 1970s. The expansion of schooling stopped short at the poor strata. Most of the shortfall in employment derives from the problems with employing labour with low educational attainment: there are too many of them compared with the EU average and they are less employable. Finally, the study draws on earlier evidence and some new arguments to dispel concerns that the excessive education is being provided in Hungary in secondary schools offering a school-leaving certificate and in higher education.

The author of the present study deals with the concept of learning outside the national framework with reference to global cultural diversity, which is seen as a constitutive condition of education. The author suggests incorporating the concepts of alterity and otherness into the education process, which students require in order to understand other cultures and also their own culture. In order for other cultures to understand an Other, heterologous thinking contingent on mimetic processes is required. The author gives the example of the inclusion of otherness-images in the teaching of history and points to the implementation of inter-culturalism in school education. European schools currently serve as contact zones for childhood and youth with diverse cultural backgrounds.

After the failure of the 1863 January Uprising the educational system of the Kingdom of Poland lost its autonomy and was subordinated to the Ministry of Education in St. Petersburg. All schools were reorganized according to the educational rules compulsory in Russia. Between 1869-1885, Russian became the official language for the teaching of all subjects in schools, with the exception of Catholic religion . Polish teachers has to use Russian as the means of instruction for teaching Polish literature. This growing russification process made people reluctant to send their children to the government schools, which resulted in an emergence of home teaching, mostly of the cleandestine character. Towards the end of the nineteenth century special organizations were set up to coordinate this cleandestine teaching. Secondary school students formed in conspiracy the circles of self teaching, which predominantly aimed the study of Polish history and Polish literature. These circles became very important institutions of self-education of young generation. During the revolution of 1905, the general strike embraced not only the academic and secondary establishment, but also the primary schools. It represented a climax in the long standing struggle for a national character of schools, and for granting the right to have its children taught in their native tongue of each nationality within the Kingdom. As a consequence of this school strike, the Russian government was forced to agree to an increased role for the Polish language in schools and to give its consent to the setting up of private Polish schools where national language could be used in teaching. By 1913, 247 private Polish secondary schools with over 50 000 pupils have been established.

The paper offers an insight into student scientific conferences as seen from the angle of sociological imagination - a term coined by C. W. Mills. By using the elements of sociological imagination identified by Mills, the article makes an attempt to answer three questions: What is the degree of subjective acting and managing one's own doings among students involved in student scientific conferences? Do the participants of such conferences acknowledge and use the legacy of the past, and if so, to what extent? Does taking part in the conference favor cognitive diversification? Eighty seven responses of students partaking in a student scientific conference were subjected to quantitative analysis. The results made it possible to casually outline the image of educational relations realized during one of the forms of stimulating the students. Analyses reveal that while preparing and running the conferences students take subjective actions - become 'doers' in their search for tradition and the present. They are also able to see better the continuity and change of social and individual reality - in other words, they use sociological imagination. Its elements determine the creation and transfer of culture between a lecturer and a student, and the constituents of 'what people - do, think and own - as members of society'.

In this article the author would like to touch a problem of the religion as an element of the adult religious people's life, specifically the element participating in the formation of an individual set of the moral attitudes. The group he is interested in is constituted by the Judaic, Catholic and Protestant worshippers. The main reason which inclined him to undertake the signalled problem is its practical dimension. Personally, he has an irresistible impression that morality is losing more and more of its importance in today's, especially highly developed, societies. Superseding such values as Good and Truth, pleasure, utility and profit increasingly become the leading values. He is certain that we live in the days of something what he would call the crisis of morality; morality in general. Therefore, a clear need both of reflection and action that tends to find the foundation which this fading morality could be rebuilt on and the sources which the principles and the instruments essential for this rebuilding could be derived from. The author's project is a part of the search of these sources and the area he explores is religion. He tries to investigate moral attitudes of the Judaic, Catholic and Protestant worshippers and also to verify whether the religion has an influence on these attitudes, and if it has, is this attitude a possitive one.
