Mała wywrotowa polityka, to tytuł studium recenzyjnego książki J. C. Goldfarba, Polityka rzeczy małych. Siła bezsilnych w mrocznych czasach dokonanego przez Oskara Szwabowskiego. Rekonstruuje on rozumienia polityki rzeczy małych, starając się odpowiedzieć na pytania: czy teoretyczne propozycje Goldfarba są w stanie sprostać obecnym wyzwaniom, czy mogą być przydatne w walce emancypacyjnej (także w przestrzeni edukacji), a może ją blokują, opóźniają?

The text constitutes the review of the book The Politics of Small Things: The Power of the Powerless in Dark Times, written by Jeffrey C. Goldfarb. The author of the review reconstructs the understanding of the politics of small things, trying to answer such questions as: whether the theoretical Goldfarb’s ideas are able to meet the current challenges, if they can be useful in the emancipatory struggle (also in the area of education), or perhaps they block it and retard?

The rate and the scope of changes in education are reasons to take up the subject of innovation, which is more marked in the outside environment than within school walls. This indicates the problem of a mismatch between the skills attained within the educational system and employers’ needs. OECD experts see a solution to this problem in creating an innovative environment at school and justifying the central place of innovation in political and educational debates. The assessment of conditions that have built up the existing demand for innovation has become a basis for viewing innovation in education as a scientific category, including the distinction between innovation and change. The analysis of definitions was made here through the prism of utility and relevance to school reality. The analyses carried out in the article answer the question of whether we are dealing with an excess or a lack of innovation within school reality.

Sport plays an important role in modern societies, including those in Europe. However, individual countries differ in terms of their citizens’ participation in universally accessible sport. In some societies, the percentage of people who pursue different sports is high, while in other countries it is insignificant. What are the reasons behind such differences? What variables are crucial to accounting for these differences? How has Polish society changed in this regard? Theoretical and empirical analyses show that people in Poland are becoming increasingly active when it comes to sport. In terms of taking part in sport, Polish society is starting to catch up with other European societies. The decisive role in the process is played by: a) social factors (education and affluence), b) the ideals and values that dominate the local culture (physical appearance, kinetic pleasures, and positive emotions), and c) the efficiency and adequacy of the physical education system in schools (innovation, the use of cyberspace, and efforts aimed at addressing social needs). If these three areas of socialization - society, culture and physical education in schools - reach a high level of convergence and if fewer variables hinder the process than at present, people in Poland will become as physically active as other societies in the West.

“What’s the Big Deal to Be Romanian if You Don’t Have What to Eat” : Food Practices in “Transition”

This article examines some of the main changes in food practices from the first half of 1990s shaped by the new political and economic environment. Based mainly on an analysis of press articles from this period, three main themes are identified in the discussion of alimentation: “hunger”, queues, and new configurations of commerce. This article suggests that these are entangled in a changing culture of shortages specific to the 1980s through an adaptation of older practices of consumption and commercialization of food, discursive tropes and moral judgments. In this way, a simultaneously prospective and retrospective orientation appears in which some of the ethos of the previous social order is used in new ways of making sense of the present. Food plays an important role in this orientation, its rationalization and precariousness specific to the 1980s being now replaced by new worries and uncertainties raised by the economic measures of “transition”.

The main purpose of the proposed paper is to analyze paradigms (theoretical frames) of leadership owned and used by school principals. The analysis is based on the results of the research conducted for the purpose of defining and describing the school principals’ way of thinking about leadership for education. For the purpose of building framework for research it was assumed that four leadership paradigms might be defined. Leadership might be understood through classic paradigm of leadership (domination of the significant person or elite group); or transactional paradigm (influence and negotiations); or visionary paradigm (called sometimes charismatic where the most import ant is clear vision); or organic paradigm (existing in multicultural and diverse world where leadership is flexible and leaders change dependently on a situation) Three methods have been used: interview with 99 principals of schools (of different type), observation in the same number of schools and analyses of the blogs (written on-line by school principals). It is common to ignore the mental models (or paradigms) used by people what brings certain outcomes for every initiative. It is necessary for policy making, change projects or developmental initiatives to recognize and take under consideration the diversity of possible perspectives (mental models) owned by those who are working in the concerned area, in this case head teachers. Civilization changes influence context and demands towards schools. Those challenges impact the modernization of schools. One of the common expectation towards management are more open - participative mode of the decision making process and the involvement of employees in sharing responsibilities. Unfortunately different initiatives towards inclusion of employees into management and leadership processes bring rather disappointing results because they ignore ideologies and assumptions of people who decide about school functioning. Analysis of the results of the research should improve the understanding of the school reality by showing strategies and decisions adequate to the state of “educational consciousness”.

We analyse concept of mobile organization which are characterized by personal approach to employees, strategies activating intellectual capital, open and interactive attitude focusing on values like teamwork and trust. Thanks to this, organizations in motion are effective in uncertainty, are better protected against losing and in case of difficulties can faster move on to the winning cycle again. In our project the main question to answer was - if there are any relationships between possessing features of a "young mobile and organization" and its competitive advantage. Based on the theory of managing change [4] it is shown that relationships between strategy, change and managerial competences are crucial for effective change implementation. From the viewpoint of management practice, the indexes developed and presented in this paper can be used to measure youth potential as well can be applied to analyse organizational change and improve the understanding of change among managers. They can be used in organizational audits. Using the indexes, organizations can be divided into Mobile Organizations, open to the environment, that can serve as models to others, and organizations that are more closed, immobile, with low youth potential. The latter require organizational revival projects to be prepared and implemented.

The social worker is prepared to professionally implement changes in families experiencing problems that they cannot cope with. Raising the level of social worker’s professional competence in this field takes place both during the education preparing him/her for work and in the course of obligatory professional development. As the initiator of change in the family, the social worker can increase the chances to success in life of its members and, thus, to improve the quality of their lives. In organizational units, social workers must cope with dynamic and intense changes. What is important in their professional profile, is the way they perceive changes and the willingness to deal with them. Presented analyzes allow not only to determine the level of willingness to change among the social workers and the family members they assist but also to compare the preparedness level in the selected groups. It turned out that there are significant differences in the three out of seven analyzed readiness scales. However, in all groups people with low scores prevail.

Pracownik socjalny jest przygotowywany do profesjonalnego wprowadzania zmian w rodzinach doświadczających problemów, z którymi same nie mogą sobie poradzić. Podnoszenie poziomu jego kompetencji zawodowych w tym zakresie odbywa się zarówno podczas edukacji przygotowującej go do pracy, jak i w trakcie obligatoryjnego doskonalenia zawodowego. Jako inicjator zmian w rodzinie, może zwiększać szanse życiowe jej członków, a tym samym sprzyjać poprawie jakości ich życia. W jednostkach organizacyjnych pomocy społecznej pracownicy muszą radzić sobie z dynamicznymi i intensywnymi zmianami. Ważny w ich profilu zawodowym jest zatem sposób postrzegania zmian oraz gotowość do radzenia sobie z nimi. Prezentowane analizy pozwalają określić stopień gotowości do zmiany wśród pracowników socjalnych oraz wspieranych przez nich członków rodzin, a także dokonać porównania jej poziomu w wyróżnionych grupach. Okazało się, że występują istotne różnice w zakresie trzech spośród siedmiu analizowanych cech, aczkolwiek w obu badanych grupach przeważają osoby o wynikach niskich.

The article is simply a description of my education in Dubai. The main focus is on my teacher’s attitude as well as subjects like Co-ordinated Sciences, Theory of Knowledge and a short paragraph on discipline. It was quite troublesome to write about something that I considered ‘obvious’ and I thought that all education, whether in Poland or abroad, looks the same. Hopefully the article will give you a minimal insight into my learning experiences and leave you to answer as to whether to change or not to change Polish education.

The article concerns selected aspects of Jean-Claude Kaufmann’s theory of Self, especially those that relate to changes in Self. Considerations of the author are accompanied by the following questions: 1) how is change in self understood in the French sociologist’s concept?; 2) what is characteristic of this change in the concept? The author presents an outline of Kaufmann’s idea of modernity and his theory of Self, and then he analyses the theory of changes in Self proposed by the French thinker, including interpretation of dreams, small passions and anomic events. In addition, the author refers to Peter Sloterdijk publication You Must Change Your Life.

Objectives The elite of Russian power and Russian society have never come to terms with the collapse of the Soviet Union. They also did not accept the world order with the primary role of the United States. The purpose of this article is to characterize the policy of the Russian Federation, which is aimed at rebuilding the superpower position of this state, and to identify the reasons that clearly define Russia’s determination in this respect. Methods Achieving the formulated goal will be possible by answering the question: Why does Russia strive to rebuild the status of the global superpower and what actions it undertakes in its policy? This question is the main research problem, which the authors of the article have taken up. In order to solve the indicated problem, theoretical methods will be used in the form of: source and literature criticiam, analysis, synthesis and inference. Results Nobody negates the fact that Russia is still one of the largest countries in the world. Nonetheless, it is much smaller and weaker than the USSR. By means of assertive, not to say aggressive, and anti-western politics it demands to be recognized as a superpower eligible to decide on the international order. However, in the contemporary world, the territory decides about the superpower status to a much smaller extent. Conclusions The foundations of the Russian superpower status are weak, and the popular anti-western narrative is not conducive to strengthening the Kremlin's position internationally.

In this study I describe the problem of changes in the education of pre-school and primary school (grades I-III) teachers in Poland, paying attention to the political and ideological as well as the philosophical context. I provide arguments for the need to care for the quality of education and the need for continuous teacher education. I draw attention to the David Clarke’s and Hilary Hollingsworth’s Correlation Model of Professional Development of Teacher, useful in this regard, and to the European context of solutions in this field. In the further part of the study, I consider the education philosophy of early school education teachers, citing for example Potulicka’s critical views on the neoliberal American philosophy, and providing a different approach of Bay Area Teacher Training Institute (BATTI) (also American), which assumes that the philosophy of teachers education is closely related to the philosophy of education. The second part of this article presents my own qualitative study on the self-anticipation of students regarding the profession of early school education teacher. As a result of the analysis of students’ essays, I selected several types of teacher: ‘professional’, ‘apprentice/constantly learning’, ‘artist/animator’, ‘friend of children and parents/authority’, ‘enthusiast/passionate, ‘constructivist’.

The paper is oriented at analysing the human ability to change in relation to Marx’s thoughts as well as the followers of his ideas. The aim is to try to identify the causes and premises that enable or hinder the human ability to take action to change, but also to see its possibilities. Therefore, the issues of identity, current class divisions and the related awareness of individuals and social groups, sense of subjectivity, but also changes resulting from the development of technology will become important. A major point of the analysis is also the issue of the freedom of contemporary humans in post-modern world.

Zmiana jest „tak oczywistą właściwością rzeczywistości społecznej, że każda teoria z obszaru nauk społecznych, jakikolwiek byłby jej punkt wyjścia, musi się prędzej czy później do niej odnieść” (Haferkamp, Smelser, 1992, za: Sztompka, 2005, s. 13). W konstruowaniu tych teorii pomocne mogą okazać się badania gotowości do zmian, sposobów radzenia sobie z nimi i ich wpływu na funkcjonowanie jednostki. Jak się okazuje, są to jedne z podstawowych wymiarów coraz częściej zauważane przez badaczy jakości życia. Stanowią one zmienną łączącą w sobie wiele komponentów, wśród których można wyróżnić m.in. Takie, jak: właściwości jednostki (zarówno jej słabe, jak i mocne strony), stresory ujmowane jako zmiany życiowe wymagające nowej adaptacji życiowej, skutki zdarzeń krytycznych czy też orientacja na przyszłość. Dotychczasowe badania koncentrowały się zwłaszcza na analizie skal mierzących osobno każdy z tych komponentów. Artykuł stanowi propozycję nieco innego spojrzenia na zmiany życiowe obejmującego aspekty intrapersonalne zamykające się w odpowiedziach badanego na takie pytania, jak: jaki jestem w kontekście doświadczanych zmian, jak na nie reaguję, jaka charakteryzuje mnie orientacja życiowa oraz interpersonalne – jak dzięki zasobom tkwiącym w otoczeniu mogę rozwijać własną gotowość do zmian. W artykule podjęto zatem próbę syntetycznego zarysowania wybranych technik i narzędzi badawczych aktualnie wykorzystywanych do badania zmian życiowych w naukach społecznych i humanistycznych.

Change is „such an evident feature of social reality that any social-scientific theory, whatever its conceptual starting point, must sooner or later address it.” (Haferkamp, Smelser, 1992, from: Sztompka, 2005, p. 13). It should be noted, that studies of readiness for changes, cooping and connection between changes and human behaviour might prove useful in the process of theory construction. What is more, currently, these aspects are one of the basic factors for quality of life researchers. The change is treated as a variable, which involves many components like individual factors (strengths and weaknesses), adaptation- related stress, causes of critical situations or future orientation. Until now, researches have mainly focused on analysing isolated tests to measure all components of life changes. The article shows a different treatment of life changes, which includes intrapersonal and interpersonal aspects. The intrapersonal aspect is related to answer to questions about reactions for changes and individual future orientation. The interpersonal aspect is connected to the question about objective quality of life. The article is an attempt to review current methods and questionnaires examining life changes in social and humanities sciences.

The current article deals with issues related to organisational behaviours, as perceived in the light of social and economic transformations that are going on in our country. The author claims that a change in an organisation should be analysed from the point of view of an individual. Thus, the author points at the whole spectrum of individual behavioural reactions to the process of transformations – from resistance, through indifference, to enthusiasm andco-operation. These views lead the author to suggest a theoretical model of personal and situational determinants of readiness for change in organisation, which constitutes the basic theme of the article.

The article is focused on the relationship between meditation, degree of involvement in the practice and temporal orientation, in particular active concentration on present time called “Carpe diem”. Two hypotheses are tested: a) Practitioners, as compared to nonpractitioners, are presenting significantly higher active concentration on the present and lower orientation on the past, future and present fatalistic orientation; b) If involvement in meditation increases, active concentration on the present also increases. A survey has been carried out on a group of 160 practitioners of Karma Kagyu linage of Tibetan Buddhism in Poland and a group of 100 nonpractitioners. The results suggest, practitioners are more actively focused on present time and this active concentration increases with involvement in meditation.

The character of work process, having evolved in the recent years, imposes new requirements on the participants of contemporary organizations. The aim of this article is to verify which of variables are important for readiness to change of managers. Therefore the statistical analyses of the empirical material were conducted towards recognition of the strongest determinants of readiness to change of managers. The results of the statistical analyses prove that the variables of greatest importance to readiness to change are of subjective character.
