The risk-oriented model of control of sanitary-epidemiological welfare level of the educational establishments was adopted because of lots of quality characteristics. Health criteria are multifarious and dynamic during the educational period. To minimize the impact of adverse factors it is necessary to have science-based concepts of education environment of the risk factors. The integrated approach provides the unified technique of an estimation of conditions of educational environment as one of the most significant and informative blocks of the factors of an environment, allows giving more objective quantitative characteristic of the sanitary-and-hygienic parameters which have qualitative-quantitative categories. It allows arranging on one scale not only the characteristics of a state of health, but also the parameters of the environment. The quantity health indicator – an index of «unhealthiness», which most objectively reflects a degree of «loss of health», was used. The index of «unhealthiness» is an expedient for a quantitative estimation of health. The evidence base of influence of educational environment factors to the dynamics of the health indicators was formed. The hygienic diagnostics of sanitary-epidemiological welfare level of the educational establishments was performed. The systematic approach which is used as the integral criteria for qualitative as quantitative characteristics of educational environment and children’s health was used. The science-based model system of risk assessment of the education environment influence on the children’s health was offered. The main risk factors and informative health indicator – an illness index – were identified. This confirms the appropriateness of the address control factors of the educational environment of educational institutions in order to reduce the adverse effects of risks. We have developed a classification system for risk factors of educational establishment to determine the feasibility of carrying out an in-process monitoring for compliance with the educational environment factors, sanitary norms and rules. The risk levels of educational institutions were identified: the risk of sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the educational establishment; the risk of sanitary and hygienic indicators; the risk of the individual criterion signs of forming health indicators.

The way a foreign language (L2) learner perceives his or her educational environment may affect their processes of L2 acquisition. The aim of the study presented in this paper is to explore English as a foreign language (EFL) students’ cognitions of their teachers’ pronunciation, in-class and outside-class factors regarding pronunciation acquisition, such as pronunciation activities, recordings, focus on form, peer pronunciation, listening to music, to mention a few. A group of 89 participants responded to a survey, via which the data necessary to respond to the following three research questions was collected. How do EFL learners perceive their teachers’ pronunciation? What is the relationship between EFL learners’ perceived level of their L2 teachers’ pronunciation and perceived L2 teachers’ classroom language use? What factors, in the view of L2 learners, contribute to their pronunciation acquisition? The results indicate that there are significant differences in the perception of teachers’ pronunciation at different educational levels. Also, in L2 pronunciation learning the EFL students report the following factors as moderately important: L2 teachers’ pronunciation, in-class L2 use, pronunciation error correction, and in-class and out-of-class exposure to multimedia that provide access to a broad range of L2 pronunciation varieties.

The first educational environment of every human being is usually the family. This is where the lifelong process of shaping attitudes and acquiring the desired character traits begins. Just as social attitudes are shaped and strengthened on the basis of values derived from the family environment, the ethos of service is built, which develops and strengthens pro-defence attitudes. Nowadays, such attitudes are less and less often seen among young people due to the crisis of values in developed countries and the promotion of a consumerist lifestyle. Ensuring security in the 21st century depends not only on the military or the intellectual potential of citizens, but above all on the extremely important human factor, most often expressed by patriotic pro-defence attitudes allowing for heroic efforts, especially in the event of a real threat. The aim of this article is therefore to show the extremely important role of the family environment in shaping and strengthening pro-defence attitudes among the society of the 21st century. The research was carried out using theoretical methods, such as analysis, synthesis, generalisation, and inference, and using the technique of examining documents and source materials. Particular attention was paid, inter alia, to the need to build pro-defence attitudes among young people and to the educational functions of the family environment constituting the basis for the process of shaping pro-defence attitudes.

Introduction. One of the most challenging tasks for educators is to encourage students of a nonlinguistic institute to study languages. Traditionally, such institutions focus more on promoting the learning of special subjects. However, in the knowledge-based economy, multidisciplinary skills are of fundamental importance. To encourage language learning education managers provide the learning process participants with motivating educational environment.The Aim of the Study. To report the findings of the pilot study, which explores how students perceive different aspects of the educational environment in the context of language teaching and learning in a technical higher school.Materials and Methods. This paper aims to focus on a few essential factors that might have a significant impact on student motivation for studying languages. Information was gathered through the use of the student survey conducted in Transport and Telecommunication Institute; it was based on the structured questionnaire containing a few perception items in relation to foreign language training in a higher technical school.Results and Conclusions. In general, the results of the study show that the students assess all educational environment aspects identified in the survey as having a significant impact on language teaching and learning in a technical higher school. The results basically would imply that the factors students regard as the most important for supporting their studies in relation to language teaching and learning are those, which they directly associate with learning a language.

Nuisance for the people living in areas covered by the direct or indirect impact of the mining industry is an important social problem. The development of the mining industry depends on high environmental requirements, in particular, it is closely related to the fulfillment of obligations of safety for human health and life. Through consultation with the local society and targeted actions degraded land can become attractive. In contrast, the lack of reclamation leads to the intensification of negative phenomena: erosion, surface mass movements, changes in the ecosystem, eutrophication of water tanks. Maintaining balance in the natural environment is the basic criterion for the proper functioning of industrial facilities. Mining activity is a threat to the environment, including human health and life. Use of the environment by mining is subject to adjustment to the legislation and carrying out mining activities in line with environmental requirements. Mining activities and nature protection can operate in a sustainable manner. Appropriate selection of methods for mineral exploitation allows you to minimize the impact on the environment components. The positive impact of opencast mining is reflected in the creation of new habitats of plants and animals in post-mining areas, in the creation of new recreation places, in diversifying the landscape thanks to the construction of water reservoirs. Lakes formed after use of natural aggregates overgrown vegetation reed, acting as a convenient place to settle th e water birds.

Hospice volunteering is s special kind of voluntary service. According to research, an average age of hospice volunteers is higher that an average age of volunteers in other types of voluntary services (Przewłocka, 2011; Seredyńska, 2018). However, it does not mean that there are no young persons in hospices, especially when one remembers that contact with the sick and dying allows people to realize the most important things in life and to gain a more realistic view of their limitations. So, it can be said that the environment of hospice voluntary service offers valuable upbringing and educational opportunities. The paper is based on the analysis of subject literature and address several upbringing and educational aspects connected with the environment of hospice voluntary service. These aspects include the analysis of hospice volunteering which educates for accepting: the central position of God in human life, death as an integral part of life, weaknesses and limitations in the maturing process, and the attitude of ‘imagination of mercy’ towards the sick and dying. Other educational and upbringing environments do not confront a person with these aspects of life to such an extent.

The article is devoted to the importance of the principle of multiculturalism and its components; the main characteristics of multicultural education are presented. The definition of the term “national school” and its educational impact in terms of multicultural educational space is given. The aim of the article is to make the phenomenon and structure of the principle of multiculturalism clear; to determine the level of formation of multicultural competence of the primary school students. It is also designated that the principle of multiculturalism reveals wide cultural content, and it does not just lead to the teacher’s presentation of cultural and historical facts of national literature, history or other subjects. The author underscores that only in case of breaking the old didactic standards and outdated teaching technologies we will start building a national school facing forward – to the future of the ethnic group, which will be focused on the creative personality. The article emphasizes the fact that providing of free choice and self-determination of every child in the culture is something that can contribute to the cultural development of the nation. Such development is often regardless of any other official directions, that is why the situation of diversity and integrative methods of education (multiculturalism) should be created on the basis of the principles related to the natural and cultural views; it involves the freedom of choce of the person. Until now national school, focusing on the function of preserving the traditions of the ethnic group, is not an example of high technological quality and modern education, it tries to pass the national and cultural values by the same means as the previous generation did. But the historical conditions for the existence of any ethnic group are quickly changed. Modern children become proficient in complex technologies, and they involuntarily perceive their history differently, their cultural identification occurs differently than their parents’. Active search of their own field of action and trial to strengthen broad contemporary social setting peculiar to modern primary school pupils is inherent. Therefore, the development of national schools should not only preserve ethnographic environment but also the development of the new, modern cultural environments, including high technology, new educational technologies, interactive methods of educational environment development, new opportunities of using distance learning, the Internet, email and others. So, if we consider education as a cultural activity, it will require a fundamental alteration of the content of educational processes in many national systems of education – from the kindergarten and school to college; organizational performance and ensuring of freedom of cultural and creative activity of teachers and children on the basis of multiculturalism. This foundation can bring national school to a higher level of development.

The family home should be the place where children and youth want to return, and parents should be people to whom they can always turn to for help. Lack of proper relationships with parents in particular adversely affects youth. Therefore, the aim of the research was to determine how minors from probation centers function in a family environment. The study was conducted among minors from probation centers operating at the District Court in Lublin. The results obtained show that the examined minors do not have appropriate relationships with parents and it is necessary in their case to carry out preventive and educational activities both for them and their parents.

Przedmiotem badań jest problematyka sposobów spędzania wolnego czasu przez młodzież w wieku od 14 do 16 lat, która pochodzi z odmiennych środowisk wychowawczych. Celem badawczym jest natomiast określenie roli, jaką odgrywa środowisko wychowawcze w procesie przygotowania do racjonalnego spędzania wolnego czasu przez młodzież. Materiał empiryczny opracowania stanowią dane uzyskane w wyniku badań przeprowadzonych w czerwcu 2009 roku w Publicznym Gimnazjum w Dąbrowie Tarnowskiej oraz w Pogotowiu Opiekuńczym w Tarnowie. Ogółem przebadano 63 osoby w wieku od 14 do 16 lat, w tym 32 uczniów gimnazjum i 31 wychowanków pogotowia opiekuńczego. Zbierając materiał empiryczny, zastosowano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego, w której narzędziem badawczym był kwestionariusz ankiety zachowań wolnoczasowych. Na podstawie analizy przeprowadzonych badań stwierdzono, że środowisko wychowawcze ma wpływ na miejsce spędzania wolnego czasu i wakacji oraz na częstość podejmowania aktywności ruchowej przez ankietowanych wychowanków. Badani gimnazjaliści spędzali swój wolny czas najczęściej w domu lub w obiektach sportowych, zaś wakacje na wczasach wypoczynkowych z rodzicami. Podwórko i dom to natomiast najczęstsze miejsca aktywności wolnoczasowej ankietowanych wychowanków pogotowia opiekuńczego, którzy swoje wakacje spędzali głównie w domu rodzinnym. Analizowane placówki wychowawcze nie odgrywały jednak dominującej roli w przygotowaniu swoich podopiecznych do korzystania z zinstytucjonalizowanych form zachowań wolnoczasowych oraz nie dostarczały im wystarczających umiejętności w zakresie samodzielnego zagospodarowania czasu wolnego.

The subject of the research work is the issue of methods of spending free time by young people aged from 14 to 16 years, which come from different educational backgrounds. The aim of the research is to determine the role played by the educational environment in the process of preparing to a rational spending of free time by young people. The empirical material of this paper is data obtained as a result of research conducted in June 2009 at the Public Junior High School in Dąbrowa Tarnowska and in the Kids Shelter in Tarnów. Overall, 63 persons aged from 14 to 16 were researched, including 32 junior high school students and 31 children from the kids shelter. Whilst collecting the empirical material, the method of diagnostic poll was used, in which the research tool was a questionnaire on free time behaviour. On the basis of the analysis of the performed research it was found that the educational environment influences the place of spending free time and holiday and the frequency of mobile activities by the questioned children. The researched junior high school students spent their free time mostly at home or in sport facilities, and holidays in holiday resorts with their parents. The yard and house were the most common places of free time activity of the surveyed kids shelter children, who most often spent their holidays at home. However, the analysed educational institutions did not play a dominant role in preparing their pupils to use institutionalised forms of free time behaviour and failed to provide them with sufficient abilities with respect to their independent management of free time.

Taking into consideration the history of the upbringing of the young chil-dren, we can presume that the archetype of the kindergartens were so called nurseries or infant homes, the places where a child who was staying for a certain time, was taken care of, was given food, clothing and felt safe. The first nursery was established by J. F Oberlin at the end of the 18th century. The establishing of the nurseries was conditioned by fast, at that time, industrial development and what was connected with that, the demand for the women’s work. In 1816 R. Owen, who was the owner of the factory, officially established the infant school for his women workers’ children in London. The pre-school established by R. Owen was a kind of an encouragement for creating similar places all over Europe. The first nursery in Poland was created in 1837 in Warsaw as the result of the efforts of Warsaw’s merchant and philanthropist T. Janikowski. Soon, the second one, which was given the name of doctor Malacz, was established, and the next one – for the orphans, named after S. Jachowicz. All the nursery institutions, existing in Poland since the regaining of independence, had a dual character. Some of them, so called nurseries, were based on the philanthropic action and they served mostly caring function for children and their working mothers. Next to them, other upbringing institutions serving certain pedagogical roles, were organized. They were patterned on spreading in western Europe so called “Frobel’s gardens” or M. Montessori’s “infants’ homes”. The pioneer and the huge enthusiast of popularizing the second one form of taking care of a child was Maria Weryho-Radziwiłłowicz.

The article contains a brief overview of the features of the organization of the educational environment at different historical stages from the earliest times to the present. An attempt of theoretical analysis and interpretation of the concept of educational environment has been made. The peculiarities of its functioning in the modern scientific and pedagogical area have been covered. Analysis of the literature makes it possible to assert that there is no single classification of educational environments. The authors have analyzed the current scientific works containing the interpretation of the terms: “environment”, “environmental approach”, “educational environment”, “educational and developmental environment”, “information environment” and “sociocultural environment”. To achieve the purpose of the article there has been used an analysis of psychological and educational, and philosophical literature on the issues of the functioning and organization of the environment. Models, types and kinds of environments have been characterized. The analysis of the structural components of the educational environment has also been made. It’s been determined that modeling new types of educational environments by modern scientists is due to objective reasons. Fundamentally different style of studying is typical for the younger generation, who was born in the early 80s and later, and has grown up surrounded by digital media. Considering the fact that during the last decade the scientific concepts of “information educational environment”, “virtual educational environment”, “high-tech virtual network educational environment” were introduced, a short analysis of these definitions has been made. Interdependence of environmental processes and processes in the noosphere has been established. Basing on the analysis of psychological and educational, and philosophical literature authors have suggested that at this stage the worldwide information civilization has appeared and is developing, noosphere grows into infonoosphere – the global information space, and the concept of information gains a categorial status for philosophy of education. Regarding the fact that semantic and structural content of the term “information educational environment” is technological in nature, a concept of “information and developmental environment” has been detailed.
