This memoir on Professor Witold Mańczak as an academic teacher opens with a list of grammars and textbooks of the history of Romance languages which he wrote for students of Romance philology. This is followed by a description of Professor’s lectures in historical grammar of Romance languages – erudite but clear, with multiple examples and digressions which widened the scrutinized topic. Also his manner of examining is mentioned, known and strictly defined criteria of evaluation, and its objectivity. Professor’s colleagues from the Institute of Romance Philology like to reminisce his friendly and selfless help and cordiality towards students – beside his attributed severity. Lastly, we emphasize the importance of Professor’s scientific views and methodology in the shaping of academic staff.

In the course of professional activities undertaken by university teachers, they assume at least four different roles, namely the one of a researcher, teacher, educator, and organizer of academic life. Taking on each of these roles imposes on a university teacher a necessity to possess appropriate abilities and competences that are necessary for the proper performance of assigned duties. The content presented in the article is an attempt to describe and analyse the operation of a university teacher in the above four roles assigned to him or her, which may be in confl ict. Hence, performing these roles, a university teacher often faces the dilemma which of them to give priority to, which of them to consider to be a priority and, at the same time, how not to endanger any other dimension of professional activity with sustaining damage.

The phenomenon of achieving or experiencing professional satisfaction carries a multitude of possibilities of interpretation. It is also determined by various factors. In this paper we assume that job satisfaction is an important aspect of teachers’ work quality. Perception of their work and the degree of work satisfaction affect the professional activity of teachers – the level of involvement and identification with the profession, creativity, motivation for development. The aim of the study, the results of which are presented in this article, is to search for relationships between autotelic and normative attitudes of teachers towards work and their work satisfaction. The study, which involved 367 teachers employed in Polish universities, is on linear relations and uses a hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The results of these studies made it possible to identify the main predictors of contemporary academics’ job satisfaction and confirmed the fact that the satisfaction is in the area of teaching and research, and depends – to a greater extent – on the presented attitude towards work rather than received social support and work atmosphere. Interpersonal relationships in the workplace, however, proved a major determinant of the level of satisfaction with the organizational work for the university.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected education in the vast majority of countries around the world. Educational systems were not prepared for this. This also extends to higher education. Certain measures have been taken in attempt to enable teaching in the new reality. The pandemic is global in nature and the changes in education have a similar aspect as well. After 12 March 2020, distance education was also introduced in Poland. Several months of distance learning have yielded some interesting experiences and shown the problems that arise when designing such educational systems. Due to the epidemic situation that is still far from being under control, it should be assumed that distance education will remain with us for longer. The article presents the results of research on distance learning in Poland in the first period of the pandemic in relation to the global situation. It focuses on academic teachers and the challenges they have faced when switching to distance learning.

Wysokie kompetencje interpersonalne wykładowcy są kluczowym czynnikiem przekładającym się istotnie na efektywność pracy w środowisku akademickim. Z przeprowadzonego badania (z zastosowaniem metody projekcyjnej) wynika, że w procesie nauczania/uczenia się studenci potrzebują wykładowcy potrafiącego budować atmosferę życzliwości i partnerstwa, wzbudzającego zainteresowanie wiedzą i przekazującego ją w sposób jasny i rozumiały, potrafiącego nawiązać dobre relacje ze studentami, z wysokim poziomem umiejętności komunikowania się. Obecnie istotne jest jednak poszukiwanie odpowiedzi na pytanie nie tyle: Czy..., co raczej: Jak doskonalić kompetencje interpersonalne nauczycieli akademickich?

The lecturer's high interpersonal competences translate significantly into the effectiveness of work in the academic environment. The study (using the projection method) shows that in the teaching / learning process students need a lecturer who can build an atmosphere of kindness and partnership. The lecturer should arouse interest in knowledge and convey it in a clear and understandable way. What's more, communication skills are invaluable in establishing good relationships with students. Currently, however, it is important to look for answers to the question: How to improve interpersonal competences of academic teachers?

This article considers mediation in disciplinary matters against academic teachers, PhD students and students. The analysis was carried out against the background of the new Act of 20 July 2018 – Law on Higher Education and Science and the Regulation of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of September 25, 2018 on the detailed mode of conducting mediation, explanatory proceedings and disci- plinary proceedings in matters of disciplinary liability of academic teachers, and also the way of disciplinary penalties and their seizure. In the first part of the ar- ticle, through the confrontation of the function and the importance of disciplinary responsibility with the functions of mediation proceedings, the legitimacy of the adopted legislative solutions in this area was assessed – introduction of media- tion to disciplinary proceedings against academic teachers and the lack of such a solution in the case of disciplinary liability of students and doctoral students. Then, there is a detailed analysis of the provisions relating to the mediation pro- ceedings allowed for the display of noticed errors and defects in legal regulations.

Another results show main domain which are considered during evaluation of teacher activity. A scientific category of university turned out significant for the scope of an attention paid to these domains. The evaluation sheets were arranged in a typology on the base of their characteristics.

Attitude of students to the subject taught depends on a lecturer to a great extent. The mentioned rule seems to be confirmed especially in teaching philosophy at pedagogy studies. The teacher of philosophy at pedagogy studies, similarly to other teachers, presents matters important to both theory and practice, refers to the effective methodology but in the sphere of interdisciplinary arguments it is associated with the sphere of a reviving idea. It defines educational aims and it is an insight into their essence, bearing in mind various anthropological concepts. It would be hard to imagine pedagogy without its philosophical connotations. Thinking about significance and the rank of philosophy among pedagogy students it can be assumed that the key factor is the personality of the teacher of philosophy. The teachers should represent all the features which they want to see in their students.

The text analyses the documentation of the periodic evaluation of academic teachers at 22 Polish universities with the faculties of Pedagogy, shows the conditions of this evaluation and characterises its procedure. The content analysis reveals what issues in the internal regulatory documents establish the periodic evaluation of academic teachers and its procedure, as well as the extent to which they are represented in these documents. In order to fully describe the regulations and to explore the differences among the universities in the area of teacher evaluation, the authors used a statistical analysis. The results show a wide variation of the elements that are included in the internal documents regulating the periodic evaluation of academic teachers. The authors refer to the contemporary press and media discussion on the condition of universities and the directions of their development. They interpret the findings referring also to the contemporary perception of a university as an enterprise as well as to strong bureaucracy at the universities and its adverse impact on their evaluation system.

In the article the Author presents a thesis that a significant part of the dilemmas of an academic teacher – didactician are related to experiencing various types of ambivalence and tensions involved in this professional role. She addresses the category of ambivalence, considers its usefulness in the reflection upon the professional role, and presents two major areas in which tensions are experienced. Accordingly, she describes ambivalence as a tension caused by finding oneself in the field of opposing expectations and normative requirements concerning the professional role, established by the employer and finding their manifestation e.g. in the inconsistency of set tasks and the system of evaluation and promotion of an employee, that is, ambivalence inscribed in the triad of being a scientist, didactician and a certain type of manager all at the same time. Another presented area concerns the role ambivalence understood as a tension resulting from diversity and self-contradictory nature of a didactic role of an academic teacher, whose task is often to combine the roles of a teaching expert giving canonical lectures, a workshop trainer creating self-learning possibilities for students, an animator of shared experiences, or an empathic tutor supporting an individual path of development of a given person. Each of those roles requires the activation of different personal resources, different educational tools and different types of relations with students.

The problem of loyalty of academic teachers is complex and multifaceted. One of the manifestations of loyalty towards the employer are restrictions on additional employment. The study indicates many problems related to the additional employment of academic teachers. Doubts arouse the legitimacy of introducing restrictions on the additional employment of academic teachers in the light of Article 3 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, and compliance of the regulation with Article 32 of the Constitution regarding the principle of equality, as well as with Article 65 Item 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, which guarantees freedom of choice and performance of the profession and selection of a place of work.

Problem lojalności nauczycieli akademickich jest złożony i wielowymiarowy. Jednym z przejawów lojalności wobec pracodawcy są ograniczenia dodatkowego zatrudnienia. Opracowanie wskazuje na wiele problemów związanych z dodatkowym zatrudnieniem nauczycieli akademickich. Wątpliwości budzi zasadność wprowadzenia ograniczeń w zakresie dodatkowego zatrudnienia nauczycieli akademickich w świetle art. 3 Konstytucji RP i zgodności regulacji z art. 32 Konstytucji RP w odniesieniu do zasady równości, jak również art. 65 ust. 1 Konstytucji RP, który gwarantuje wolność wyboru i wykonywania zawodu oraz wyboru miejsca pracy.
