An international team of experts from Belgium, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Turkey and the USA employed a questionnaire to identify the deontology of teachers from infant to secondary school in eight countries. The survey was implemented between 2004 and 2007. The socio-cultural concept of Verstehen (understanding) as described in the work of Max Weber, points to the clear significance of being a teacher at this time in history. Qualitative and quantitative analysis allow for an understanding that the teacher is exactly that, in any context. The ideal typology of the teacher is the result of training at a university level and working in the school system. Phenomenal differentiations characterise the various situations and broaden the perspective of the study, including an identification of the shared features of the profession. The strong, common core is the responsibility towards fellow teachers balanced out by a weak, yet common note of regret regarding the scant social prestige of being a teacher. There seems to be a lack of communication between the personal and social aspects involved in shaping the professional identity. The social image of teachers weighs heavily on their professional status due to the inevitable political implications it results in and the considerable effect on institutional behaviour. Teachers listen, but they are not heard; teachers are committed, but remain unrecognised; teachers evaluate, but are evaluated in turn. The issue of the social importance of the profession of teachers in our societies emerges as a crucial point in the perspective of educating young generations.

The aim of the presented study was to establish the share of personality variables and social support from school headteachers in explaining variance of social well-being of teachers. We utilized the concept of social well-being as stated by Keyes (1998). The questionnaire IASR-B5 (Trapnell & Wiggins, 1990) was used to detect personality traits and The Brief Resilience Scale (Smith et al., 2008) to detect the level of resilience. Providing of social support was measured by the SAS–C scale (Trobst, 2000) based on circumplex model of interpersonal behaviour, describing eight types of supportive behaviour. The research sample consisted of 256 primary school teachers. The results were processed by multivariate linear regression analysis. Regression models confirmed a significant share of supportive behaviour of school headteachers in explaining variance of social well-being variables.

This paper presents findings from a joint project supported by the British Academy and the Academies of Science of Hungary and Slovenia. The research aimed to identify similarities and differences between the ways in which teachers (of primary and secondary age children) in the three countries constructed and understood the terms ‘citizenship’, enterprise’, ‘cooperation’ and ‘competition’. Concepts associated by teachers with each of the four words have been analysed using the Associative Group Analysis technique (AGA), and this paper is based on our analysis of the responses given to the first two of these terms. AGA has normally been used to contrast two populations: this paper demonstrates a novel way to show a three-way relationship. There are significant differences between the different countries, and to a lesser extent between primary and secondary teachers within each country. ‘Citizenship’ in particular is clearly perceived very differently by the English teachers, who stress words that can be categorised as indicating pro-social behaviour, a sense of rights and duties, being part of a community and being linked to education. These categories were relatively infrequently mentioned by Hungarian or Slovene teachers, who tended instead to stress aspects referring to the specific nation, and legal or institutional terms (which were much less frequently mentioned by the English teachers). These results are analysed in terms of different histories, cultural patterns and trajectories, and there is a brief discussion on the implications for the practice and training of teachers.

From significant Czech migration to Bulgaria in the late 19th century, Czech teachers were the largest vocational group. The late 19th century was also one of the epoch-making periods of Bulgarian history when the system of secondary and grammar schools has been formed along with other institutions. On one hand this situation created a possibility for work of foreign teachers, but on the other hand local schools faced many problems. One of most perceptible ones was shortage of proper textbooks. Some Czech teachers were involved in this important publishing activity. In this paper I briefly present general situation of Bulgarian education system of the period, summarize information about Bulgarian textbooks written by Czechs, and introduce several Czech writers.

The study aimed to measure and explore the ability of physical education teachers to apply the new developed curricula according to the knowledge economy in Irbid Governorate schools. The sample of the study consisted of (120) male and female teachers from Irbid district, following validation, the teachers were provided with a questionnaire which included two fields; knowledge economy and information technology. The results showed that the ability of physical education teachers in applying the new curricula in the field of the knowledge economy and information technology was high, although the field of information technology ranked first, followed by the field of knowledge economy. Also, there were significant differences according to variable of experience when measuring the ability of physical education teachers in the domain of information technology in favor of the group with 10 years and more experience. However, there were no statistically significant differences in the variable of experience in the domain of knowledge economy. The study suggests reviewing the mechanism of applying the new developed curriculum according to the knowledge economy, and holding training sessions before and after starting to build a new curriculum. Conducting information technology courses in accordance with new curricula are suggested, and also that the Ministry of Education in Jordan must provide the necessary facilities, such as halls and technology devices.

In 1949, the communist rulers of Poland decided to build Nowa Huta, the steelworks and city near Kraków. According to the propaganda, it was supposed to be the first model socialist city in Poland. Residents were to experience social promotion, comfortable apartments, cultural institutions, and rest in their home space. In addition to housing, well‑stocked shops, high ‑quality services, assistance in daily activities such as food preparation, health care and childcare were offered. However, the reality differed from this propaganda vision. In the local press such as the weekly Budujemy Socjalizm, later transformed into Głos Nowej Huty, letters to the editorial office complained about housing problems, insufficient supplies, queues, difficulties in organizing holidays, or low quality of the cultural offer. Letters to the editor are an important source for research on the everyday life of the Polish People’s Republic. They reflected the small and big problems of the inhabitants seeking help from journalists, believing that the press had substantial influence on the ruling class.

Artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań przeprowadzonych w latach 2015–2016, których przedmiotem były postawy nauczycieli (1) oraz ewaluatorów (2) wobec ewaluacji w szkole. W pierwszym badaniu zastosowano analizę treści opublikowanych na forach internetowych dla nauczycieli, a w drugim metodę pogłębionych wywiadów eksperckich. Następnie zestawiono wyniki badań i, zgodnie z koncepcją brikolażu, wyłoniono charakterystyczne przejawy postaw wobec ewaluacji w polskiej szkole. Wyłonione przejawy postaw pozwoliły stwierdzić, że ewaluacja funkcjonuje jak baśniowy Kopciuszek, ponieważ na poziomie idei jest uważana za wartościową aktywność, jednak na poziomie praktycznej działalności wywołuje poczucie bezsilności, strachu i niedocenienia. Kluczowym wnioskiem z badań jest potrzeba oddzielenia instytucji przeprowadzających ewaluację od tych, które zajmują się kontrolą.

The author presents the results of surveys conducted in 2015 and 2016, concerning the attitude of teachers (1) and evaluators (2) to school evaluation. The first survey analysed the content published at online forum sites for teachers and the other used the in-depth expert interview method. The results of both surveys were compared and, in accordance with the concept of bricolage, the characteristic attitudes towards evaluation in Polish schools were identified. Based on the identified attitudes, it was concluded that evaluation functions like the Cinderella fairy-tale, because at the idea level, it is considered to be a valuable activity, but at the level of practice, it causes the feeling of helplessness, fear and underestimation. The key conclusion of the surveys is that evaluating institutions should be separated from controlling institutions.

Literature and society work hand in glove because literature is a reflection of the realities of our society. This paper sets out to examine the pedagogic relevance of Literature in general and Prose in particular to Cameroonian High school students. It aims at presenting how and why The Death Certificate should be taught to Cameroonian High School Students. First, Students need to be informed about the society. Second, they should know what to do in face of various issues that arise in the society in general. Third, The Death Certificate handles themes such as love, power, domination and feminism which can conveniently be understood by High School Students. It is in this light that writers draw inspiration from the society to produce literary texts. Fourth, a work of art should not be limited; it should entertain, educate and inform us about our society. Fifth, Literature which reflects or acts as a mirror of life in society should be taught in schools because it shapes the students’ moral behavior. It also creates awareness in students by helping them to know more about the preoccupations of the society in which they live. It is thanks to literature that we learn much about society and the people who live in it. Pedagogy, Literature, Prose, Education, Alobwed’Epie, Feminism, Style, Students, Teachers, Society Literatura i społeczne znajdują się bok o bok, literatura jest odzwierciedleniem realnych warunków naszego społeczeństwa. W tym artykule analizowane jest znaczenie pedagogiczne literatury ogólnie oraz prozy w szczególności dla uczniów w Kamerunie. Jego celem jest przedstawienie, w jaki sposób i dlaczego powinno się uczyć powieści „The Death Certificate” uczniów w Kamerunie. Przede wszystkim uczniowie powinni być nauczani o społeczeństwie. Po drugie, oni powinni wiedzieć, jak się zachować w różnych sytuacjach, które pojawiają się w społeczeństwie ogólnie. Po trzecie, „The Death Certificate” odnosi się do takich tematów jak miłość, władza, dominacja i feminizm, które w sposób wygodny mogą być zrozumiałe przez uczniów. Właśnie w takim świetle pisarze czerpią inspiracje ze społeczeństwa by pisać swoje teksty. Po czwarte, dzieło sztuki nie powinno mieć granic; powinno bawić, edukować oraz informować nas o naszym społeczeństwie. Po piąte, w szkole powinna być nauczana literatura, która odzwierciedla lub działa jak lustro dla życia w społeczeństwie, ponieważ kształtuje ona morale uczniów. Tworzy również świadomość w uczniach pomagając im dowiadywać się więcej o problemach społeczeństwa, w którym żyją. To właśnie dzięki literaturze, że możemy tak dużo się nauczyć o społeczeństwie i ludziach, którzy w nim żyją.

The paper deals with using Edmodo (an educational social network) and Google Meet as distance learning tool and platform in teaching English within university English courses during the first and second waves of COVID-19 in Slovakia. It draws the basic difference between online learning and distance learning, as well as between asynchronous and synchronous distance learning. It briefly introduces Edmodo’s and Google Meet’s main features that can be utilised in the process of distance learning of university students. It presents the results of the research that was conducted with the students of Faculty of Mass Media Communication of UCM in Trnava, who participated in English courses conducted by the means of asynchronous and synchronous distance learning during the summer term of the academic year 2019/20 and the winter term of 2020/21, i. e. during both waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. Via the quantitative method of a questionnaire survey, the research participants provided feedback on both asynchronous distance learning (with Edmodo) and synchronous distance learning (combining Google Meet with Edmodo). The findings present students’ perception of the educational platform and the videoconferencing tool pointing to their benefits, weaknesses and overall effectiveness as communication platforms within both forms of distance learning, asynchronous and synchronous. The paper draws comparison of the two methods and assumes conclusions regarding their effectiveness in distance learning of English.

The aim of this article is to elaborate on the reasons behind feeling the emotion of pride within the professional context of actions undertaken by contemporary Polish teachers. The article attempts to answer the question of what role pride plays in teachers’ career building process and their daily work. All considerations focus on the social construction of the meaning of pride, established from teachers’ perspectives. Pride is here referred to as social emotion, in line with an interpretivist approach. The following reflections are based on the data collected due to: 1) multiple observations conducted by the author in the years 2008-2016 in the primary, as well as junior high schools; 2) interviews with teachers, parents, and other school staff. Pride in teachers’ work arises in three main contexts: 1) pride due to prestige, 2) pride due to one’s recognition (appreciation), and 3) pride as a result of diverse interactions, for example, teacher-student. The emotion at hand is, like shame, of a social origin and plays a key role when it comes to interactions, social control, as well as maintaining social order. And yet, most of the researchers would give the lead to emotions such as shame, guilt, or related stigma. Based on the collected data, this article focuses on the emotion of pride in the process of identity building by employees-teachers.

The fear of tutors and teachers, conformism of students, at last - indifference and apathy of their parents - these are side effects of contemporary changes in education. In his essay Piotr Nowak searches for the sources of these negative phenomena. One of them is enormous hypertrophy of bureaucracy at universities and a new language it addresses to the people of knowledge; another - mass culture, egalitarianism, and industrialization of the University.

An important part of the external evaluation of the quality of education in Slovak schools are pupils' test results. Since 2016, testing of pupils in 5th grade has been introduced to schools, the aim of which is to determine the outcomes of early school education. There is a strong opinion polarisation on the evaluation of schools based on the results obtained by students in tests. In early childhood education, testing is not one of the priority tools for the assessment of pupils' progress, as they have less experience of written assessment. The study deals with the analysis of teachers' opinions on testing 5th grade pupils, presenting the overall results of the questionnaire carried out nationwide in Slovak primary schools. The main aim of the survey was to compare the opinions of teachers of early childhood education (grades 1-4) - 1st stage and teachers of elementary school (grades 5-8/grades 5-9) - 2nd stage. It focused on the analysis of controversial responses of teachers at both levels of education and revealed to the reader the possible causes of differences in teachers' views on T5 as a tool to assess students' learning outcomes.

Ważną częścią zewnętrznej oceny jakości edukacji w słowackich szkołach są wyniki uzyskiwane przez uczniów w testach. Od 2016 r. w szkołach wprowadzono testowanie także uczniów klas 5, którego celem jest określenie poziomu edukacji uczniów po zakończeniu edukacji wczesnoszkolnej. W środowisku pedagogicznym istnieje znaczna polaryzacja opinii na temat oceny szkół na podstawie wyników uzyskanych przez uczniów w testach. W edukacji wczesnoszkolnej test nie jest jednym z priorytetowych narzędzi oceny uczniów, ponieważ uczniowie mają mniejsze doświadczenie z pisemną oceną poprzez testy. W badaniu dokonano analizy opinii nauczycieli na temat egzaminowania uczniów klas 5, przedstawiono wybrane ogólne wyniki ankiety wdrożonej w całym kraju w słowackich szkołach podstawowych. Głównym celem badania było porównanie opinii nauczycieli edukacji wczesnoszkolnej (klas 1-4) - 1. stopnia i nauczycieli szkół podstawowych (klas V-VIII/klas V-IX) - 2. stopnia, którzy uczą testowanych przedmiotów. Skoncentrowano się na analizie kontrowersyjnych odpowiedzi nauczycieli na obu poziomach edukacji i przedstawiono możliwe przyczyny różnic w poglądach nauczycieli na temat T5 jako narzędzia oceny wyników nauczania uczniów.

Dôležitou súčasťou externého hodnotenia kvality vzdelávania v slovenských školách sú výsledkov žiakov v testovaniach. Od roku 2016 sa do škôl zavádza i testovanie žiakov 5. ročníka, ktorého cieľom je zistiť úroveň vzdelávacích výsledkov žiakov získaných v primárnom vzdelávaní. V pedagogickej verejnosti je výrazná polarita názorov na hodnotenie škôl podľa výsledkov žiakov v testovaniach. V primárnom vzdelávaní totiž test nepatrí medzi prioritné nástroje hodnotenia žiakov a žiaci majú s písomnou formou hodnotenia, prostredníctvom testu, menej skúseností. V štúdii sa zaoberáme analýzou názorov učiteľov na testovanie žiakov T5, prezentujeme čiastkovo celkové výsledky dotazníka realizovaného celoplošne v slovenských základných školách. Hlavným cieľom štúdie je prezentovať komparáciu názorov učiteľov primárneho vzdelávania a učiteľov 2. stupňa základnej školy, ktorí vyučujú testované predmety. Pozornosť zameriavame na analýzu sporných odpovedí učiteľov obidvoch stupňov vzdelávania a poodhaľujeme čitateľovi možné dôvody zistených rozdielností názorov učiteľov na T5 ako nástroj hodnotenia vzdelávacích výsledkov žiakov.

Pedagogika Marii Montessori jest postrzegana jako „klasyka” w naukach edukacyjnych. W pracy zaprezentowano wyniki badań ankietowych przeprowadzonych na trzech grupach badawczych: studentach oraz dwóch grupach nauczycieli będących uczestnikami szkolenia Montessori. Głównym celem badania było rozpoznanie stanu wiedzy środowiskowej i ustalenie, co poszczególne grupy rozumieją przez metodę Montessori. Zebrane dane przeanalizowano, aby określić najważniejsze różnice i podobieństwa w wynikach uzyskanych w tych grupach. Graficzne zaprezentowanie wyników badań pozwoliło na sformułowanie wniosków, czytający może także na ich podstawie samodzielnie zbudować własną opinię na ten temat.
