This text attempts at presenting the present-day condition of Polish studies. The author has identified the discipline's achievements of the recent dozen-or-so years' period, with particular regard to its constituent sciences, along with the trends of intense absorption and adaptation of our contemporary international humanities' achievements to its specific needs, improved scientific standard of the area's human resources, increased number of college students, and, the development of Polish studies and Polish faculties in State-owned and private colleges and universities. Outlined are also certain negative phenomena, such as the milieu's ideological divisions exerting an impact on didactic processes, scientific research, and interpersonal community relations. Beside those, attention is drawn by the consequences of Polish universities' weak financial standing and of Polish faculty propagation, including: the staff getting employed under several employment contracts at a time; deteriorated teaching standards; the number of compulsory/optional classes getting permanently reduced; depersonalisation of the educational process; negative selection of applicants; contemporary cultural issues being underrepresented in the syllabuses. The article's final section discusses certain ideas of how to possibly improve the situation, with particular emphasis on building a model of open-ended Polish studies, as coupled with developing the reading and interpretative competencies of the students being sensitive recipients and lovers of literature and arts.

The goal of this paper is an attempt to describe phenomenon of 'citizenshipness' according to research about way of understanding an adults education teachers and their own role as confounded socially and politically. 'Citizenshipness' is treated here as a competence of constant aiming at keeping balance between what is individual and what is social in one's life. In this sense, quality of teachers' work is described from the perspective of relations between man and social life and tensions accompanied 'being a teacher'. Basing on analysis of claims of adult education teachers about: public dimension of education, tasks for schools for adults, their meaning in local environment and school-state relations, the authoress identifies three ways, in which respondents understand their role. These are: teachers focused on being 'apart from social reality', 'in social reality', 'despite social reality'. Each of distinguished types has been described and marked with quotations of respondents' claims.

The article presents the concept, as well as a prototype of an integrated remote teaching system (ZSZN - from Polish: Zintegrowany System Zdalnego Nauczania). The integrated system incorporates synchronic and asynchronic e-learning systems and the virtual machines system. The concept of the system and the prototype lead to a single central managing system, which is linked to all the components, that use a common interface. It allows creating synchronic e-learning sessions, regulating the time of the session and also generating access codes for a session. Additionally, the lecturer has the possibility to assign access to e-learning resources and to create/manage other user's virtual machines. The article presents basic ideas of the system and its functions. The system integrates different teaching methods. It is perfect for teaching student with disabilities, allowing them to fully participate in the stationary lectures.

Intertextuality is a fundamental phenomenon of literary history and a basic component of the literature of the post-modern age; as such, it occupies a central position in today's literary criticism and theory. The present paper aims to help teachers of Hungarian literature who are interested in the topic and who would like to guide their students in the world of present-day fiction by proposing two theoretical approaches to the concept and phenomenon (involving the types of intertextuality and intertextuality in the post-modern age). Then, the author presents intertextuality as an organising principle in the poem Uj magyar Messiasok [New Hungarian Messiahs] by Andras Ferenc Kovacs, discussing it from the point of view of teachability and providing possible guidelines for its concrete adaptation for teaching purposes.

This article addresses the question of whether specific social media applications will promote student engagement and learning in higher education. After a justification of social media is given and an introduction about terminology, a brief overview will highlight 50 years of technology and education theoretical trends that show their convergence in constructivism, which is followed by examples of specific, beneficial social media assignments in university courses. The conclusion is positive in that faculty findings indicate there is evidence that social media assignments can promote active learning and student engagement.

Academic centres are a part of bigger system, which include agencies responsible for the functioning of higher education or agendas regulating job market activity. Within each system, for its proper functioning, relations allowing exchange of information should occur as they guarantee success and further efficient functioning of the system. Employers' requirements are still growing; nowadays it is not enough to have a university degree. Vital role is played by graduates' competencies, such as creativity or ability to cooperate in a group. There are increasingly more graduates who are aware that the technological development coerces a constant adaptation to new conditions and forms of work, which, consequently, is connected with continuous improvement of one's qualifications. Therefore, there are great hopes about ESCO - a new initiative of the European Commission, which aims at developing common taxonomy of competencies and professions. In the article the authoress discusses the significance of knowledge in the process of lifelong education. The paper focuses also on the role of ESCO in connecting education world with job market as well as on promoting an approach based on the development of competencies among prospective employees.

As in Poland, in Germany, too, religion and ethics are seen as alternatives. It is thought in this way that only two positions are possible. Supporters of the first of these speak in defence of the state teaching of the Christian religion - be it Catholic or Protestant or Islam, at the same time in opposition to the religiously neutral lessons in ethics. The second position stands by the obligatory teaching of ethics, which takes the place of religion when parents and/or pupils choose not to attend these lessons. These two positions are joined by one more. In this view, the main role is played by the distinction between the religious and ethical dimensions of general education. A group of academics from the Humboldt University of Berlin (Germany) have presented a theoretical concept from the empirical research they have conducted on the issue, and their initial results.

The answer to the problem of low level of Polish students' competences may be dissemination of the methods of teaching modeled on a course LATINA. This is a course for students, teachers and others who want to develop their educational skills on the World Wide Web. The course will provide a practical, hands-on introduction to a variety of web-based tools for teaching and learning. At the same time the author will relate the tools to relevant learning theories and to theories of historical, economic, organizational and socio-technical change.

Since the 2009/2010 school year the school implemented a new reform program, which provided changes associated with the expansion of entrepreneurship education. According to the new core curriculum, which will take effect in the first classes of secondary school in the school year 2012/2013, teaching entrepreneurship base will be carried out only in the primary, and there will also be introduced a new teaching subject of complementary economics in practice. Headmasters and teachers must decide till March 2011, which classes, if any, will be taught the new teaching subject. Therefore, this article is focuses on discussion of the teaching subject of economics in practice and the presentation of the challenges faced by those responsible for implementation of the classes.

This paper (1) summarizes the main points of the papers in the volume which demonstrate some of the ways that academic freedom is at odds with recent conservative attacks on the professoriate; (2) argues that some of the conservative attacks from students on faculty are at base a failure to acknowledge their equal personhood, but treat them as inferior beings and thus elicit harmful psychological reactions similar to those found in victims of racist slurs; (3) examines possible solutions, including distincting on the part of faculty, and distributing the burden of crucial thinking among all faculty and college courses, thereby making academic freedom a reality for all.

Teaching methodology of social research in pedagogic programmes we have experienced students’ great interest in the possibilities of using photography and photographing practices in the research projects carried out by them. Also the personal interest in photography and the attempts of using it in our research were a reason for us deciding to prepare a project of workshops devoted to the research strategies that use photography. Our aim was to make the most of students’ individual interests and their conscious transfer into the space of research activities. Simultaneously, the suggested classes were also a specific didactic provocation. This article discusses our project, which was carried out in the summer semester of the academic year of 2010/2011

Faith is the question which is much emphasized in the teaching of Pope Benedict XVI. Faith is what leads every Christian to God. Without faith we are deprived of the sense of life. According to Benedict XVI, faith is what determines the unity of an individual with the Triune God. The belief in the existence of one God in three Persons is one of the most mysterious aspects of the Christian doctrine. To accept it, one has to mature within the Church, which is a natural environment and the source of faith. Faith is initiated by God's grace, however, it is necessary for an individual to cooperate with it. Faith means to become close to God and acknowledge the truth revealed by Him. The full maturity and internal stability of a person is based on his relationship with God, which establishes itself in the encounter with Jesus and which is being strengthened by the presence of the Holy Spirit. Benedict XVI emphasizes the need to combine faith with reason. Faith and reason support each other. Faith is deepened and becomes better justii ed in the process of reasoning. The open dialogue between faith and reason helps a person to see the rationality of belief in God. Faith is a common act and the credo of the Church. What the Church needs today is the young with their faith and idealism. The Church needs them to show the world Jesus Christ, who becomes visible in the Christian community. That is why the dialogue with the young is so important. The young should be seen not only as an object of pastoral work, but also an active element of the Church's mission. The Pope's teaching also stresses the role of the Church as the natural environment of faith and warns people against juxtaposing Christ and the Church. Faith is connected with hope and love. The three virtues depend one on another, strengthen, complete and impact mutually. Faith is also manifested bythe attempts made by a person to deepen it. It shows an individual a perspective of the reality which is everlasting, eschatological and which is identii ed with heaven.

The development of blended learning and e-learning causes the increase in the significance of their effectiveness and suitability in higher education. The lack of complex studies in this subject hampers persuading the decision makers to invest in e-learning and is a barriers in establishing goals and development tracks for this form of education. The author describes the research he has been conducting form 2007 to 2010. The main aim of the study was to evaluate and to compare traditional as well as electronic forms of teaching economic subjects.

The text poses a question about teachers’ workplace. It sounds like a heresy, but it is extremely important from the point of view of this profession. School is only one of venues of teachers’ work and students’ learning. Information openness and diversity of situations that create a learning possibility significantly distant teachers’ workplaces from a classroom or an after-school club. This, in turn, forces us to view the practice from a wider perspective than ever and perceive it as an integral element of teachers’ education. That means seeking concepts of such practices which will become a real source of teachers’ competences, i.e. the knowledge about learning determinants and mechanisms, practical and cognitive skills used in the process of professional practice, abilities of autonomic and responsible performance of undertaken tasks and reflective self-evaluation. In this understanding the practices of teachers-to-be have not only educational functions, i.e. are a source of knowledge and skills that are necessary to be a teacher in various situations, but they are also a crucial circumstance of evaluating the appropriateness and candidates’ success/failure in their future teaching job. This role of teachers’ practices is often underestimated, neglected or simply unnoticed both by the organisers and students.

The authores propose that humans are adapted to transfer knowledge to, and receive knowledge from, conspecifics by teaching. This adaptation, which they call 'pedagogy', involves the emergence of a special communication system that does not presuppose either language or high-level theory of mind, but could itself provide a basis facilitating the development of these human-specific abilities both in phylogenetic and ontogenetic terms. They speculate that tool manufacturing and mediated tool use made the evolution of such a new social learning mechanism necessary. However, the main body of evidence supporting this hypothesis comes from developmental psychology. They argue that many central phenomena of human infant social cognition that may seem puzzling in the light of their standard functional explanation can be more coherently and plausibly interpreted as reflecting the adaptations to receive knowledge from social partners through teaching.

Humans are adapted to spontaneously transfer relevant cultural knowledge to conspecifics and to learn fast the contents of such teaching manifestations through a human-specific social learning system of mutual design called 'pedagogy' (Csibra & Gergely, 2006). Pedagogical knowledge transfer is triggered by specific communicative cues (such as eye-contact, contingent reactivity, the prosodic pattern of 'motherese', and being addressed by one's own name). Infants show special sensitivity to such 'ostensive' cues that signal the teacher‘s communicative intention to manifest new and relevant knowledge about a referent object. Pedagogy offers a novel functional perspective to interpret a variety of early emerging triadic communicative interactions between adults and infants about novel objects they are jointly attending to. The currently dominant interpretation of such triadic communications (mindreading) implies that infants interpret others' object-directed manifestations in terms of subjective mental states (such as emotions, dispositions, or intentions) that they attribute to the other person's mind. The authors contrast the pedagogical versus the mindreading account a new study testing 14-month-olds' interpretation of others' object-directed emotion expressions observed in a communicative cueing context. They end by discussing the far-reaching implications of the pedagogical perspective for a wide range of early social-cognitive competences, and for providing new directions for future research on child development.

According to the General education curriculum for primary schools, seven most important skills to be acquired by pupils include “the ability to use modern information and communication technologies, also for the purpose of finding and applying information”. The recommendations accompanying these provisions, concerning the conditions and the method of curriculum implementation, leave us in no doubt: classes should take place in rooms in which each pupil has a computer connected to the internet at his or her disposal. This reflects commonly expressed postulates of opening the education system to the real problems of the modern world and to sources of information outside school. The article analyses contemporary computer course books with regard to the use by the pupils of internet resources: education portals and websites. The author tries to answer the question what today, in an era of unavoidable technology, hampers its effective introduction into the teaching and learning processes.
