This article addresses the issue of racial and ethnic differences in intelligence studies. Some researchers have claimed to use national IQs in studies of evolutionary theories of racial differences in intelligence. However, due to the Flynn Effect and some methodological questions, national IQs cannot be viewed solely in evolutionary and socio-economic development terms and can be considered in light of intercultural differences as well. Moreover, the meaning of race in intelligence studies is vaguely defined. It leads to considerable controversies surrounding the public understanding of race (for instance, stereotyping threat). It also creates suspicions as to the use of group differences in IQ tests to explain racial and ethnic differences in achievements.

In this paper I make the case that we should reject an argument that even knowledge of pointless truths has pro tanto final value. The argument draws on Greco’s virtue epis-temological account of knowledge, according to which knowledge is an achievement and achievements have final value in virtue of being constitutive of the good life. I ar-gue for my position by drawing on a case of knowledge of a pointless truth unlike pre-vious cases of pointless truths discussed in the literature. This is a case in which knowledge of a pointless truth is very cheaply gained, and so it is a case in which the disvalue of the cost of gaining the knowledge cannot plausibly outweigh the supposed pro tanto final value of knowledge.

This paper examines the US public pension system – its current status, achievements, problems and possible futures – through the prism of the 2016 Presidential campaign. Its main source of information is political discourse during state primary elections and caucuses held by the Democratic and Republican parties in the months preceding their nomination of Presidential candidates. These events create a lively marketplace of ideas in which contenders for their party’s nomination compete for the support of voters, organizations, and donors, who in turn seek to influence the contenders’ platforms. In this election year, the range of contender positions on public pensions is unusually wide and they have assigned different priorities to improving pension adequacy, restructuring the system to address new needs, establishing long-term financial balance, and who should bear the cost of the latter. The paper examines their discourse in three parts. Following the introduction, part I describes the US public pension system and Americans’ attitudes toward it. Part II presents the contenders’ positions on pensions, including those to improve, maintain, and cut benefits. Included here is discussion of their approaches to pension finance as well. Part III highlights patterns in the contenders’ views, considers how they would alter US pension principles and practices, and ends with some thoughts on policymaking after the election.

The author deals with the relationship between a piano teacher and her/his pupil/student at different stages of development. The relationship is defined in the literature as one of the most important features determining musical-artistic achievements. She describes the American research into the nurturing of pianists’ talent, and presents the optimal model of piano teacher devised by L. Sosniak, based on interviews with 20 young American pianists with high and significant achievements. The model indicates that the best conditions for artistic development are the sequence of three different teachers, or three different pedagogical strategies, adjusted to the stages of development of young musicians: (1) music teacher for the youngest pupils, whose task is to arouse interest and provide intrinsic motivation and passion for music and piano-playing; (2) instructor teacher (for teenagers), whose task is to help students to build a solid métier, acquire the necessary motor skills and piano technique, and to improve their artistic performance; (3) master teacher for young adult pianists, whose task is to help them to integrate the skills gained previously, to shape their artistic personality. This sequence turned out to be extremely favourable for the later achievements of the interviewed pianists. The author then provides an analysis of statements by Polish pianists from the older generation, and an observation of the behaviour of piano teachers from Polish public music schools. These show that in our piano pedagogy there exists only one type of teacher, the instructor teacher who, compared to Sosniak‘s model, places the greatest emphasis on technical skills and avoids the issue of expression.

Against the backdrop of Russian aggression against Ukraine and its global consequences, the paper analyses the evolution of relations between Ukraine and the European Union throughout 2014-2022 and the prospects for Ukraine's European integration. It highlights the peculiarities of the formation of Ukraine's European policy as a strategic direction of foreign policy and a factor of its decisive civilizational choice. The main stages and problems in the implementation of Ukraine's European choice are analysed. The focus is on investigating key events and phenomena in the relationship between Ukraine and the European Union at a fundamentally new stage, from the signing of the Association Agreement in 2014 to granting Ukraine the status of a candidate for EU membership in 2022. It analyses the attitudes of individual European Union member states towards Ukraine's European integration prospects, the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war on the positive change in the EU and its member states' attitude towards Ukraine and its European aspirations, and concrete measures and actions by the European Union aimed at providing moral and political support as well as economic, financial, humanitarian and military assistance to Ukraine in its heroic resistance to Russian aggression. It is emphasised that Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 not only united Europe and improved the perception of the EU in member states' societies, where the positive image of the European Union reached its highest level in decades, but also maximised Ukrainian support for European integration, which has become the key to Ukraine's resilience in the fight against Russian occupiers

Thesis. This article provides an analysis of online social interactions in two online Temporary Learning Groups (TLG) and their correlates with both pre-admissions scores and academic achievements. Concept. The function of Social Networking Systems (SNS) use on academic achievements is most often indirectly assessed through surveying attitudes of students and teachers. Contrary to this approach, we directly assessed the content on a TLG and paired it with objective admission scores and academic achievements. Results and conclusion. The results reveal that the content of the discussions on the TLGs is practical, immediate, and focuses on the allocation of information required for academic achievements. The users of the TLGs are usually students with lower admission scores and academic achievements. They use these platforms as a compensating mechanism to improve their achievements. In addition, some of the TLG users serve as maximising agents of other students’ achievements. TLGs’ implications for teaching, class-attendance and level of schooling must be recognised by teachers. Originality. While researchers focus on the presence of SNSs in class and its hampering of schooling by multitasking the effect of TLG activity must also be addressed.

This papers presents the results of research that was aimed at testing the performance of deaf and hard of hearing (D/HOH) high school students in learning English as a foreign language (EFL). The research examined the correlation between the age (number of years of learning EFL), the degree of hearing loss, the sex and the school success in the Serbian language with the achievements of the D/HOH students in solving an English Placement test. The differences in achievements between D/HOH students and those with a normal hearing status were also compared and analyzed. The results of the research indicate that although the D/HOH students achieve poorer results in learning English compared to students with a normal hearing status, they can be successful in learning English as a foreign language. The D/HOH students have some difficulties in learning English vocabulary and grammar. They need more time to successfully master a foreign language, so it is necessary to take into account the specificities of this category of EFL students and to adapt teaching methods and resources to suit their needs.

Artykuł analizuje system amerykańskich emerytur publicznych – jego aktualny status, osiągnięcia, problemy i możliwe warianty przyszłości – poprzez pryzmat kampanii prezydenckiej w 2016 r. Głównym źródłem informacji jest dyskurs polityczny w czasie prawyborów stanowych w partii demokratycznej i republikańskiej w miesiącach poprzedzających nominację kandydatów na prezydenta. Wydarzenia te tworzą żywą platformę wymiany idei, w której kandydaci do nominacji swoich partii konkurują o poparcie wyborców, organizacji i darczyńców, a ci z kolei dążą do wywierania wpływu na programy kandydatów. W tym roku wyborczym zakres postaw wobec emerytur publicznych jest niezwykle szeroki wśród kandydatów, którzy różnie rozkładają priorytety, dotyczące poprawy adekwatności emerytur, restrukturyzacji systemu, potrzeby ustanowienia długoterminowej równowagi finansowej oraz tego, kto powinien ponosić koszty tej ostatniej. W artykule analizuje się dyskurs kandydatów w trzech częściach. Część I opisuje publiczny system emerytalny w USA i postawy Amerykanów wobec niego. Część II zawiera opis stanowiska kandydatów wobec emerytur, a w tym ich podniesienia, utrzymania lub cięcia świadczeń. Część ta obejmuje również dyskusję o podejściu kandydatów do finansowania systemu emerytalnego. Część III podkreśla schematy w poglądach kandydatów i rozważa, jak będą oni zmieniać amerykańskie zasady i praktyki emerytalne, a kończy się kilkoma przemyśleniami na temat polityki po wyborach.

W artykule dokonano próby przedstawienia poglądów na temat możliwości stymulowania rozwoju zdolności i inteligencji. Szczególną perspektywą widzenia tego zagadnienia stała się teoria inteligencji sprzyjającej powodzeniu życiowemu (theory of successful intelligence) R. J. Sternberga. Jest ona przykładem istniejącej tendencji do widzenia inteligencji jako zbioru różnych wymiarów stosunkowo niezależnych od siebie. W omawianej teorii wymienione są: inteligencja analityczna, twórcza i praktyczna. Termin „inteligencja" używany jest tu zamiennie z terminem „zdolności". Ze względu na duże zapotrzebowanie, wyrażane głównie przez praktyków zajmujących się edukacją młodzieży, ważne są poszukiwania służące rozwijaniu tych zdolności, które w istotny sposób wpływają na osiągnięcia pozaakademickie. Podejście to uzupełnia tradycyjne widzenie inteligencji ogólnej, mającej szczególny związek z osiągnięciami akademickimi.

EN

The article aims at presenting views on possibilities of stimulation of gifts and intelligence. This issue is discussed in the perspective of R. J. Sternberg's theory of successful intelligence. This theory is an example of the tendency to perceive intelligence as a combination of diverse, relatively independent dimensions. This theory distinguishes analytical, creative and practical intelligence. The term intelligence is used in this theory interchangeably with the term gift. Due to increasing need expressed mainly by practitioners working in youth education, it is important to search for the possibilities of developing those skills which particularly influence extra-academic achievements. This approach is complementary to the traditionally hold view of general intelligence as closely related to academic achievements.

Najważniejszym czynnikiem warunkującym osiągnięcia szkolne jest status ekonomiczno-społeczny rodziny, z której pochodzi uczeń. Zostało to wielokrotnie potwierdzone badaniami polskimi i międzynarodowymi, aczkolwiek status społeczno-ekonomiczny był określany za pomocą różnych wyznaczników. Zgodnie z teorią kapitału kulturowego P. Bordieu to rodzina wyposaża dziecko w składające się nań różnorodne kompetencje językowe i kulturowe, które w procesie edukacji na różnych szczeblach mogą być rozwijane. O efektach nauki (w postaci ocen i wyników egzaminów) decydują jednak nie tylko elementy rodzinno-środowiskowe, ale także sama organizacja szkoły. Ważną rolę odgrywa też osoba nauczyciela, jego kompetencje metodyczne i merytoryczne, a także umiejętność rozpoznania potencjału ucznia i jego cech warunkujących osiągane wyniki.

EN

The most important factor conditioning school achievements is the economic and social status of the student’s family of origin. This has been confirmed many times by Polish and international studies, although the socio-economic status was described by various determinants. According to the theory of cultural capital P. Bordieu, the family is that which equips the child with various language and cultural competences that can be developed in the education process at various levels. However, the learning outcomes (in the form of grades and results of exams) are determined not only by family and environmental elements, but also by the organization of the school itself. An important role is also played by the teacher’s person, his methodological and substantive competences, as well as the ability to recognize the student’s potential and his characteristics conditioning the results achieved.

The discussion begins by indicating the strengths and weaknesses of teaching Polish as a non-native language today while focussing on how approaches to individual issues have changed. The main body of the article, devoted to the achievements of, and development prospects for, teaching Polish as a non-native language, is divided into three parts. The first includes remarks on the necessity to engage in further research into such subdisciplines of teaching Polish as a non-native language as the acquisition of Polish as a foreign and a second language, the preparation and evaluation of materials for teaching Polish as a non-native language, computer-aided teaching PFL, the reality of Polish studies in different countries and world regions, and the history of teaching Polish as a foreign language. The second part applies to the development of teaching Polish as a heritage and second language within the context of its development as a foreign language. The third part refers to people working for the growth of teaching Polish as a non-native language, and offers a discussion of the outcomes of a study by Grażyna Zarzycka of the discourse community of researchers and instructors of Polish as a non-native language and the discourse of teaching Polish as a non-native language itself.
