Positive psychology was founded on three main pillars: positive emotions, positive character traits associated with good living and positive institutions that create conditions for students to flourish (Seligman and Csikszentmihalyi, 2000). Nevertheless, the research in psychology so far has been concentrating on positive emotions and character strengths. Enabling institutions have been the least well studied of the three pillars. A salient additional perspective, as MacIntyre and Mercer (2014) propound, would be to concentrate on the context in which students can experience enjoyment and flourish in foreign language learning. I try to fill the niche by analyzing a language school in the further education context in Poland which seems to be a positive institution. I base my study around the two criteria: enabling success and promoting positive language learning environments or student well-being. The language school is analysed from three different angles: physical, pedagogical and psychological by means of an ethnographical research method and participant observation. The study is carried out in order to answer the research question: Can the school be labelled as a positive institution? The results demonstrate that the institution enables success as well as provides a positive learning environment and thus could be regarded as positive. The study is hoped to have contributed to positive psychology research by demonstrating what it means to be a positive institution in practice.

The legacy of Jan Amos Comenius can be understood as a continuously professional and social discussion on the issues of education and learning. The article presents the idea formulated by J. A. Comenius in the Great Didactics: “If a person is to become a man, he must be educated“. In his work called “The gate of unlocked languages”, Comenius postulated the thought of respecting the natural, physical, spiritual and social development of a human - a child, a student and an adult. In the work “Labyrinth of the World and Paradise of the Heart”, Comenius characterizes learning as „difficult and bitter entry into life“. The article focuses on confronting the ideas of J. A. Comenius with the current, turbulent, electronic and digitalised times. The context results in the need for more investigation in the area of the didactic process in schools and further education. The author introduces suggestions connected with the improvement of the teaching processes at elementary and secondary schools as well as at universities and in adult education.

The article is focused on the study of the innovative personal oriented technologies as effective student training method. The effectiveness of training manifests personal oriented education. The traditional methods are considered not to suffice while modern technologies provide the alternative model of connection between teaching and learning. This approach may facilitate modern teaching techniques provoking students’ keenness. As the research proves the students are more involved into the subject-matter, more motivated and achieve proficiency, mastering knowledge of the subject, cooperation and partnership skills. Effective learning is the mainstream of the current educational reforms. Personal oriented education positions a student as the main object of the process that starts from the comprehension of the educational contexts. The teacher estimates the student’s progress in accordance with the aim of education. This approach is supposed to be individual, flexible, competent, various in technics and not restricted by time or place. Therefore, this technology makes up the strategy of education, which places the student’s academic progress in the focus of the process and decision-making policy at all levels. The process succeeds due to the determined aim and direct involvement of the students into the activity inducing the comprehension of the contents through the achievement of proficiency and acquisition of necessary practical skills. To train self-motivated students who are able to continue their further education is of primary importance too. Working out of the result is regarded to be the objective of the creative lesson. Conducting varied activities results into some educational outcome. Consequently creative lessons may be specified into several types regarding their purposefulness cognitive, creative, administrative, etc. Problem-solving, developing, learner-centered, productive, multi-staged and heuristic educational models are dwelled upon in the article. A model of personal oriented technologies depends upon the way the teacher is viewed: as a facilitator or as a traditional source of knowledge. The new technologies of education are claimed to meet the student’s personality. It also makes students responsible.

This article focuses on the functioning of the institutions of higher education in the context of goals and functions attributed to them in the area of education and research. In the first part of the article the author discusses basic goals and functions of contemporary education adopted by the European Union and presented by J. Delors in his well-known report. These goals emphasize the humanistic values of education. In the subsequent part of the paper the author focuses on the sources and symptoms of the crisis that affects higher education in Poland. The author discusses dysfunctions of education and scientific research undertaken in the institutions of higher education. According to the author, these dysfunctions manifest in many forms such as the loss of teacher’s authority, imposition of market economy laws on the educational and scientific activity, the dominance of encyclopedic teaching and learning, increasing bureaucracy, the loss of autonomy, promotion of servility and the rat race model, etc. The author is of the opinion that scientific research is becoming more and more state-controlled, the effect of which is its adaptive, service-oriented, diagnostic and abstract character. In his concluding remarks, the author calls for radical reform of higher education that could result in enhancing its autonomy, restoring the humanistic function of education, and promoting reformist and critical action research.

Artykuł skupia się na działaniu instytucji szkolnictwa wyższego w kontekście celów i funkcji przypisanych im w obszarze edukacji i badań. W pierwszej części autor omawia podstawowe cele i funkcje współczesnej edukacji, przyjęte przez Unię Europejską, które są opisane przez J. Delorsa w powszechnie znanym raporcie. Cele te podkreślają humanistyczne wartości edukacji. Następnie autor skupia się na źródłach i objawach kryzysu, który ma wpływ na szkolnictwo wyższe w Polsce. Omawia również dysfunkcje edukacji i badań naukowych przeprowadzanych w instytucjach szkolnictwa wyższego. Jego zdaniem dysfunkcje te manifestują się na wiele sposobów, np. utratą autorytetu przez nauczycieli, narzucaniem praw gospodarki rynkowej przedsięwzięciom edukacyjnym i naukowym, dominacją encyklopedycznego przekazu wiedzy i uczenia się jej w tej formie, rosnącą biurokracją, utratą autonomii, promowaniem ustępstw i modelem „wyścigu szczurów”, itd. Autor twierdzi, że badania naukowe stają się coraz bardziej kontrolowane przez państwo, czego efektem jest dostosowywanie wyników badań do narzuconych przez państwo kryteriów oraz ich diagnostyczny i abstrakcyjny charakter. Podsumowanie zawiera nawołanie do radykalnej reformy szkolnictwa wyższego oraz promowania reformatorskich i przełomowych badań w działaniu.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ukazanie opieki i kształcenia osób niepełnosprawnych słuchowo w Zjednoczonym Królestwie Wielkiej Brytanii. Autorka podkreśla wagę, jaką przywiązuje się do zdobycia przez osoby niedosłyszące odpowiedniego wykształcenia, które warunkuje ich adaptację społeczną i zawodową. Niepełnosprawność słuchowa stwarza pewne bariery i znacznie utrudnia włączenie się tych osób do życia społecznego. Jednakże rolą państwa jest stworzyć odpowiednie warunki do nauki. Autorka wskazuje pewne możliwości edukacji tych uczniów w ramach brytyjskiego systemu szkolnictwa i sugeruje zaadaptowanie niektórych z nich do naszego rodzimego systemu edukacji niepełnosprawnych słuchowo. Jednakże zwraca ona uwagę na fakt, że powinno się to odbyć po uprzednim przemyśleniu tych propozycji, skalkulowaniu ich przez ekonomistów oświaty i dostosowaniu do polskich realiów.

The educational system of Denmark is unique. The first thing you notice, exploring this problem is the existence of an absolutely unique education for children and adults. Denmark is able to prove that in fact no matter what is taught at schools, it is important what knowledge they have after finishing them. Back in 1814, the Danish monarchy first adopted the Education Act, according to which all children have the right to get 7-year education. It should be noted that law free boarding schools began to open all over the country in all cities. In addition, the colleges for teacher training were established. The purpose of schooling was to prepare a worthy and useful member of the society. The students studied religion, reading, writing and mathematics. The Education Act changed several times, but when making the last edition in 1993, the Danish Parliament has considered more than 800 projects submitted from various schools of the country. This indicates that the law was passed with the requirements of that society put forward the education system. And this approach to the election of the new directions of the system of education in the country made it possible to provide the knowledge and skills that will enable the students to become a full member of the society in future. According to the law all have to be educated from 7 to 16 years. It does not matter where the child receives education – at a state («traditional») school or at a private school or even at home. The only criterion is that you need to learn some compulsory subjects in accordance with the standards of education. It means that children should gain knowledge but not to go to school. Most children attend public schools («Folkeskole»). «People’s School» is a public school, which includes kindergarten and grades from the 1st to 10th form. In addition, the school has a group of extended day for primary school children. Danish «public schools» are very diverse. The Education Act defines the purpose of education, certain requirements and local authorities, together with the management of the school and parents are choosing not only the objects but also the teaching methods and means to achieve an aim. The students automatically, regardless of success in learning are transferred from form to form. All students have the opportunity to receive the same knowledge till the 9th form, and the last 2 years they can learn in another - an alternative school («Efterskole») or in the youth schools or high folk schools. The law defines the following tasks to help the students to gain knowledge, skills, the ways of expressing themselves and comprehensively promote the personal development of each student and create the conditions for the realization of usefulness of studying, make it possible to believe in their own strength for further active and independent participation in the society. They learn the history, culture and traditions not only of their own people and other nations as well. They get good knowledge about the relationship and interaction between man and nature. The schools teach the basics of democracy in order to prepare decent citizens. The teachers teach the students to be responsible members of the society, the rights and duties of each to society based on democracy. That is why education is based on freedom, equality and democracy.
