Purpose: The aim of the presented study was the comparison of physical activity of students from selected countries. The key of paper selection was to find various kinds of students groups from different countries and different cultures. The author compared results of students’ physical activity.Materials and methods: The paper compare the previously published papers aboutphysical activity of students from selected countries. All respondents were examined using as an instrument the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), a standardized questionnaire which enables the investigation and comparison of activity of various population groups.Results: Analysis of results of the study showed a great differentiation among students from individual countries. In each examined group of students, males proved to be the most active gender; however, among countries characterized by the highest physical activity, the results obtained by females were sometimes higher than those concerning males from countries characterized by lower activity. The study showed that the most active students are Americans and Czechs, whereas students from Croatia and South Africa show low physical activity.Conclusions: The conducted analyses demonstrated that in each country in the study the level of total activity is higher among males than females. The differences in the results of the summary MET value in males remained within the range 2,800 – 6,500 MET, while in females - within the range 1,700 – 5,900 MET. Male students were usually characterized by a high level of physical activity, whereas female students by a moderate level. Among Polish students, similar to their contemporaries from other countries, the level of total physical activity was higher among males than females. Polish students were most often characterized by a moderate level of physical activity.

Introduction: Statistical data from the turn of the 20th century shows a significant increase in the average human life span and, what follows, an extension of old age. The world is aging and Poland has joined the list of countries which have been classified as demographically old since the rate at which society is aging has become very fast. Purpose: The aim of this thesis was to become familiar with the opinions submitted by respondents regarding aging and old age, health problems connected with aging and preferred health behaviors.Materials and methods: The research was conducted between January 3rd of 2013 and February 15th of 2014 on a group of 200 junior high school students and 200 university students from the Medical University of Białystok Faculty of Health Sciences using a questionnaire created by the authors.Results: A vast majority of the respondents of the study groups declared that they have thought about old age. Among university students this percentage reached 38.5%. Almost 50.0% of all respondents acknowledged that older people are needed by society.Conclusions: The results show that the aging process should be contemplated considering multiple aspects of life: biological, psychological and social. Moreover, youth education programs about seniors and old age as well as about ways to counteract their stigmatization should be introduced.

Objectives: The present study aimed to to investigate the role of the leisure time physical activities in the control of abnormal behaviours of male high school students in Tehran (Iran). Methods: A sample of 1715 students was selected based on multi-stage cluster random sampling using Cochran’s formula. The research instrument was an ad hoc questionnaire of abnormal behaviours elaborated by the researchers and based on the previous literature. Its validity was confirmed by a group of fifteen university teachers of physical education, sociology, and psychology. The reliability was 0.85 using Cronbach’s alpha. Descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and independent samples t-test (p?0.05) were used in the analysis of the data. Findings: The results showed that participation in leisure time physical activities has a positive role in reducing all the three areas of abnormal behaviours (maladaptive behaviours, anti-social behaviours, and immoral behaviours). Conclusions: Family leisure time planners, social and health policy makers are recommended to take supportive measures in order to incorporate sports activities in students’ lifestyle.

Aim/purpose – The purpose of the paper is firstly to identify the entrepreneurial attitudes of Polish students from two universities and secondly to assess the contribution of these Polish universities in enhancing entrepreneurial attitudes amongst students through entrepreneurship education and training programs. Design/methodology/approach – Paper questionnaires were used to survey students studying at Warsaw School of Economics and Rzeszow University of Technology. The respondents were undergraduate students participating in the general module of Management at Warsaw School of Economics and Statistics Methods at Rzeszow University of Technology. Participation in the survey was voluntary. Findings – The results reveal that 41% of the university students were optimistic and interested in starting their own business, but only after gaining a few years of working experience which will enable them to deepen their knowledge and feel comfortable within a business environment. Only 12% of students would like to set up their own business immediately after graduation. The study confirms that entrepreneurial education can positively reinforce student attitudes towards an entrepreneurial career choice within a developing country such as Poland. It is also apparent that students at SGH had more exposure to informal education than those from Rzeszow University of Technology. Research implications/limitations – The research findings are of interest to academia and policy makers. The study suggests that entrepreneurial attitudes amongst Polish students can be influenced by exposure to entrepreneurship education. Overall, the study indicates a need for entrepreneurship education, at programme and course levels, to nurture entrepreneurship among students in Poland. Originality/value/contribution – Very few studies have examined university students’ attitude to entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education in Poland. This study helps to bridge that gap.

Thesis/Objective – The topic of this article is the influence of digital technologies on the functioning of academic libraries in the context of their users’ needs. Users’ information behaviors have changed significantly through the influence of these technologies, what can be identified in particular in students’ behaviors. Do far-reaching changes in the way in which users, in case of this article - students, interact with information cause transformations in the functioning and mission of academic libraries? On the basis of literature containing the results of researches conducted around the world an attempt was made to present the way academic libraries react to these changes and how they modify their services and resources. Research method – The first step in responding to the actual needs of users is to conduct research in this area. For this reason, the subject of the analysis in this article were publications presenting research on the users’ (students) needs in the context of using academic libraries. The next stage was to identify the texts in which the use of digital technology was discussed. The analyzed literature was selected from leading journals indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED), the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A & HCI), and included articles which were published within the last 5 years (2013-2018) – a period in which digital technologies in most academic libraries in the world were most widely used, making changes caused by them possible to be diagnosed, and which corresponds to the information query. The results of the query contained 328 articles, 80 of them have been analyzed in detail, because they were deemed to contain the results of research on the functioning of academic libraries in the context of the needs and expectations of the students. Results/conclusions – On the basis of the analysis it can be concluded that the widespread use of digital technologies has changed functioning of academic libraries to a large extent, but these changes are not revolutionary. The way of implementing library tasks has changed, but the tasks themselves as well as the mission of an academic library have remained similar. One of the most important postulates for the future is the necessity of far-reaching personalization of the services being offered. The conducted analysis is based on the research presented in the literature, the next planned stage is verification of these conclusions in empirical research.

This paper analyses the directions and causes of student migration in the information society at economic universities in Poland and Portugal. An international survey was conducted among students born between 1981 and 1995. The research included a group of 121 Polish and 55 Portuguese students. The conclusions of the study confirm the hypothesis that the place of residence/ country of origin has a significant effect on the direction of migration. Furthermore, the causes of migration are largely dependent on the gender of the respondents and their professional status.

Students’ attitudes towards entrepreneurship are an important issue in entrepreneurial education. They include cognitive, emotional and behavioural aspects that influence students’ willingness to start their own business. Diagnosis of students’ entrepreneurial attitudes is crucial for the preparation of appropriate training programmes. In this paper, some commonly used proverbs and phrases (referred to as metaphors) are proposed as a diagnostic method for the assessment of entrepre neurial attitudes and as a pragmatic method that can be used to form proactive entrepreneurial attitudes. The aim of the study was to verify that entrepreneurial metaphors described in the literature are up to date and to identify current metaphors pertaining to running a new business as perceived by business students. The authors’ original questionnaire was used to evaluate the accuracy of known metaphors (4-point Likert’s scale) and to identify student’s own metaphors. Statistical analysis of obtained results (the t-Student test for one group was used) showed that the most accurate metaphors related to entrepreneurship were related to its perception as a management process, hard work, overcoming obstacles and competition. Analysis of metaphors created by the respondents allowed to identify three dominant categories of entrepreneurial activities: overcoming obstacles and barriers, taking risk in uncertain environment and proactivity understood as responsibility for the new venture development. The research resulted in a catalogue of current entrepreneurship metaphors and in the list of recommendations for entrepreneurial education. We also presented an example of the such usage in practice.

Purpose: To examine problem solving behaviors and exposure to dating abuse of the students studying in the Nursing Department, in their romantic relationships. Materials and methods: This research was conducted as descriptive study between 30.12.2013 and 10.03.2014 in a Health School. The research did not perform sampling and included 373 students who could be reached, agreed to participate in the research and had no error in their data collection forms. Data was collected using a 21-question introductory questionnaire developed by the researcher and “the Problem Solving on Romantic Relationships Scale for Adolescents” consisting of 38 questions. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t test and correlation analysis. Results: 72.5% of the participating students were female and 27.5% were male. It was determined that 43.3% of all the students had a girlfriend /boyfriend, 51% had no romantic relationship before, and 59.5% experienced problems in their relationship. The students whose longest place of residence was in a village were found to be more exposed to emotional and physical abuse (t= 4.99, t=4.55, and p<0.05, respectively). The students who had problems in their romantic relationship were found to be more exposed to emotional abuse and to be more engaged in problem solving. The students who were exposed to abuse in their romantic relationship were more exposed to emotional and physical abuse and also more engaged in problem solving (p<0.05). Conclusions: Abuse is a concept which is still difficult to be expressed. It is important that individuals exposed to abuse are aware of and express this situation.

This article defines the shift in the concept and conditions of collaborative learning for university studies using the social networking tool Facebook and discusses the collaborative learning effect in terms of using Open Educational Resources (OER), creating learning artefacts and new generic competence development. In order to evaluate students’ learning through collaboration in Facebook, qualitative research method and survey of generic competencies based on the Tuning project framework (2003) were used. The data was collected through focus group interviews and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The qualitative research method was chosen because it provides information of how students collaborate and what experience they gained during the activities. First, Facebook online groups have been identified at three different levels at VMU. The Facebook first level group was the social networking of Vytautas Magnus University’s students and academic staff. The second level group was created for the department dealing with social sciences, and is called “Department of Social Science”. The third level group is “Education Service Management” within the Department of Education. The research was done at the third level group with the students of the “Education Service Management” study programme. As research results show, Facebook as a social network has been changing communication between students, by facilitating the exchange of information and knowledge. The research analyses Facebook in the context of undergraduate university studies, based upon the experience of Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) for using Facebook for university studies. It could be concluded that learning is about developing capabilities to think and to act. Learners using social networking tools for collaborative learning, act, provide feedback and peer-review, asses and rate information. Openness is based on the idea that knowledge is disseminated and shared freely for the benefit of society as a whole. University students collaborate online and learn by using and exchanging OER, as well as developing them as the artefacts of online collaborative learning. They influence task design by creating “educational resources” themselves.

The impact of armed violence is transcendental and, by extension, negatively affects development, peace and good governance, often by creating a climate of impunity, corruption and undermining public institutions. It is also closely tied to transnational crime and the misery and abuse associated with the illegal trafficking of arms, drugs and people, which impairs national development. In recent years, Nigeria has undergone social upheaval on several counts; the most recurrent being the one arising from extremism and other insurgencies. Nigeria’s national discourse is laced with issues of persistent conflict, turbulent violence and a desperate search for stability, security and peace. This paper assessed the current level of insecurity in Nigeria and posits that government alone cannot deal with the situation. The paper argued that Nigerian students form the majority of the country’s population and there is extensive evidence of the way students’ ingenuity, energy and resilience can be harnessed to generate real and positive change in curbing insecurity and fostering national development. The paper also concluded that engaging students in positive ways as part of the drive towards national development will make a large portion of Nigerians less vulnerable to violent extremism, and by extension, benefit society as a whole.

Celem artykułu jest analiza porównawcza pomostowego kapitału społecznego, oparta na wybranych wynikach badań ankietowych polskich i hiszpańskich studentów. Badania ankietowe przeprowadzono wśród studentów pierwszego roku studiów na przełomie października i listopada 2013 r., gdy zaczynali oni swoją edukację na poziomie akademickim. Dokonana w artykule kwantyfikacja pomostowego kapitału respondentów została oparta na definicyjnym ujęciu Putnama i operacjonalizacyjnym ujęciu kapitału społecznego, przedstawionym przez W. van Oorschota, W. Artsa i J. Gelissena. Wyniki badań i wnioski sformułowane na ich podstawie sugerują, że poziom pomostowego kapitału społecznego w ankietowanych grupach osób jest stosunkowo niski.

Objective – In Hungary information literacy is not really manifested in public education and higher education programs. Education policy makers are focused on the problems of digital literacy, and don’t take into consideration, that it is necessary to have much broader information competencies in order to survive in the 21st century. Students come to higher education with drawbacks, especially regarding the key competencies (thinking, text comprehension and analysis, information management etc.). They also have difficulties with learning and self-evaluation. The reason is that they have no opportunities in the high school to acquire basic information literacy skills. Research method – At the University of Pécs a survey was taken in 2014 in order to analyse information literacy skills of the students at different universities and colleges. Results and conclusions – The aim of the surveys was to get information about students’ information searching strategies, favorite resources, information seeking, selection and evaluation methods, and to determine a new information literacy strategy.

Teza/cel artykułu – Na Węgrzech kompetencje informacyjne przeważnie nie są uwzględniane w programach nauczania publicznego, tak na poziomie podstawowym, średnim, jak i wyższym. Autorzy podstaw programowych skupiają się na „alfabetyzacji cyfrowej” i nie biorą pod uwagę faktu, że przetrwanie w XXI w. wymaga znacznie szerszych kompetencji informacyjnych. Studenci zmagają się z licznymi niedoborami, szczególnie w zakresie umiejętności kluczowych (myślenie, zrozumienie i analiza tekstu, zarządzanie informacją, itp.) Mają również problemy z nauką i samooceną. Na ogół powodem jest brak możliwości nabycia podczas nauki w szkole średniej podstawowych kompetencji informacyjnych. Metoda badań – W 2014 r. na Uniwersytecie w Peczu przeprowadzono badanie ankietowe, którego celem była analiza kompetencji informacyjnych studentów różnych uczelni . Wyniki i wnioski – Badanie ankietowe posłużyło uzyskaniu informacji o strategiach wyszukiwania, ulubionych zasobach informacyjnych oraz metodach wyszukiwania, wyboru i oceny informacji przez ankietowanych, a następnie ustaleniu nowej strategii nauczania kompetencji informacyjnych.

Artykuł przedstawia wyniki badań empirycznych z początku 2011 roku, dotyczących uczestnictwa w kulturze studentów Uniwersytetu Zielonogórskiego. Jedna grupa badanych studentów została do badania wylosowana, druga dobrana celowo spośród studentów pedagogiki, a trzecią stanowili studenci Wydziału Artystycznego – muzycy i plastycy, którzy zgodzili się wziąć udział w badaniu. Za wskaźniki uczestnictwa w kulturze przyjęto uczęszczanie do kina, teatru, filharmonii, na koncerty muzyki popularnej (rockowej) oraz czytanie książek. Studenci najliczniej chodzą do kina, dość często na koncerty muzyki popularnej. Zdecydowanie rzadziej chodzą do teatru, a sporadycznie do filharmonii. Sprawdzano, jakie cechy (płeć, sytuacja materialna, pozostawanie w związku, wykształcenie matki i ojca) różnicują uczestnictwo w kulturze. Znacząca różnica dotyczy czytelnictwa – studentki częściej niż studenci sięgają po książki (80 % do 68 %). Drugim wątkiem zaprezentowanym w artykule jest sposób postrzegania współczesnych, kontrowersyjnych dzieł sztuki bądź działań artystycznych. Studenci dzielą się niemalże na trzy równoliczne grupy, takich którzy uznają pełną swobodę artystów do tworzenia, takich którzy uznają pewne dzieła/działania za przejaw sztuki, ale nie potrafią ich osobiście zaakceptować. Trzecia grupa to studenci, którzy kontrowersyjnym dziełom/działaniom w ogóle odmawiają miana sztuki.

The paper presents the results of empirical research conducted at the beginning of 2011 concerning the participation of University of Zielona Góra students in culture. One group of the examined students was randomly chosen, the other was selected deliberately among the students of pedagogy, and the third group included the students of the Faculty of Arts – musicians and visual artists who agreed to participate in the research. The following indicators of participation in culture were adopted: going to the cinema, theatre, concert hall, pop music concerts (rock) and reading books. Students most often go to the cinema and relatively often to pop music concerts. They definitely rarely go to the theatre and only occasionally to the concert hall. It was checked what characteristics (sex, financial situation, being in a relationship, education of parents) differentiate participation in culture. A significant difference applies to reading – female students (80%) more often read books than male students (68%). Another exception presented in the article is the way of perceiving contemporary and controversial pieces of art or artistic activities. Students are divided into almost three equal groups: those who recognize the artistic freedom, those who recognize certain works/activities as a manifestation of art but cannot accept them personally, and those who refuse the name of art to controversial pieces of art/ activities.

W przedstawionej pracy autorzy podejmują się próby wskazania na cechy nauczyciela wychowania fizycznego, które są najbardziej pożądane z punktu widzenia uczniów i ich rodziców. W tym celu pracownicy Zakładu Psychologii Akademii Wychowania Fizycznego we Wrocławiu skonstruowali kwestionariusz ankiety zawierającą 15 takich cech. W badaniach wzięli udział uczniowie szkoły ponadgimnazjalnej z 4 klas pierwszych (84 uczniów wraz z równoliczną grupą swych rodziców). Dzięki jej analizie można wskazać na te z nich, które pojawiają się najczęściej. Autorzy poszukują też odpowiedzi na pytanie, które z zaproponowanych cech uznane zostaną za najważniejsze z punktu widzenia ucznia oraz rodzica. Poddano również analizie dokonywanie wyboru ze względu na płeć badanych osób. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań wskazują na różnice pomiędzy wyborem uczniów, rodziców oraz ze względu na płeć dziecka oraz rodzica. Dla uczniów najważniejszą cechą nauczyciela jest sprawiedliwość – szczególnie dla chłopców, natomiast dla dziewcząt – tolerancyjność. Rodzice największą wagę przywiązują do odpowiedzialności, tolerancyjności oraz sprawiedliwości. W wyborach ojców przeważa dyscyplina a matek tolerancyjność.

In the said research work the authors attempt to indicate the most desirable qualities of a physical education teacher in terms of students’ and parents’ expectations. In order to do so, the lecturers of the Institute of Psychology at the University of Physical Education in Wrocław designed a questionnaire containing 15 such qualities. 84 students from the first grade of high school (along with one of their parents) participated in this research. Due to its analysis it is possible to indicate the most commonly selected ones. The authors are also trying to answer the question which of these qualities are considered to be the most important by students and parents. The choices were also analysed in relation to the respondents’ sex. The results indicate that there are differences between students’ and parents’ choices. For students, the most important trait of teacher’s character is being fair- this applies specifically to the boys, and when it comes to girls-tolerance. The parents pay the most attention to responsibility, tolerance and justice. Most times, fathers chose discipline, while mothers chose tolerance. The choices also vary depending on the student’s and parent’s sex.

The paper aims to identify respondents' attitudes to and awareness of the retirement age and social protection, as well as their expectations with regard to educational activities in this area. The research was carried out in 2018, using an anonymous PAPI type interview on a non-random sample of economics students (N = 703 people) who were either full-time or part-time students. The detailed objectives of the analysis were related to the following issues: - elementary knowledge of social insurance (an open question), - attitudes towards future retirement, care for the elderly, and social solidarity (semantic differential technique combined with the Likert scale), - expectations and opinions regarding the attractiveness and importance of social insurance as a subject of education (techniques as above), - the desire to deepen knowledge in this area (a dichotomous question). The conducted research has shown that despite a lack of expressive attitudes towards social and pension insurance, respondents were interested in deepening their knowledge in this area. This implies the need to create teaching programmes that would broaden this knowledge and build a new insurance awareness based not on demanding attitudes but on the conviction that the retirement future is created independently of the existing system and institutions.

To acquire how to do an ethnographic field research of the living society and culture is a part of the university ethnology studies. The author deals with several examples of student’s field researches in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria in the past and nowadays. Since 2008 the author itself organizes student’s field researches within her own ethnology classes for students of the Balkan studies on the Department of Slavonic studies on the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University in Brno. Foreigners from Southeast Europe (Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Macedonian, Greek, Albanian, Turks and Romanian) living in the Czech Republic are the research subjects. They either themselves or their ancestors moved to the Czech Republic in the past. During 2008–2016 the students collected a lot of material: 221 research reports, including 40 descriptions of participant observation during the community celebrations and 171 transcribed and commented interviews. The interviews aimed to study their coming to the Czech Republic and the relation to the Czech majority, ethnocultural traditions and language, private and family life, family relationships, contacts and gatherings, religious and ethnic identity, how the traditions are handed down from generation to generation, acculturation. Apart from the educational benefits of these researches there is a heuristic benefit, which author presents by an example of the research of Bulgarians in the Czech Republic.
