This paper analyses changes in overeducation incidence in Poland in 2006‑2014. It finds that a rise in number of tertiary educated workers outpaced an increase in number of jobs requiring tertiary education, which resulted in a substantial growth of overeducation incidence. The overeducation increase was driven mainly by mild overeducation rather than severe overeducation. Overeducated workers are usually young with little job experience. Women are found at lower risk of severe overeducation compared to men, but relatively more at risk of mild overeducation. A low risk of overeducation is associated with having studied technical and health programmes.

The socio-political events of 1945-1956 are characterised by several phenomena that significantly marked the formation of tertiary education in Slovakia and determined its subsequent development. In the first years after the end of the war, attempts at political, economic, or cultural contacts with Western countries could still be observed in several Central European countries for some time. Universities maintained their traditional internal academic structure, organisation of student enrolment, content of studies, etc. This situation was mainly fostered by the needs of the country's reconstruction, which at the same time masked the political pragmatism of the new, but not yet fully strengthened, people's democratic regimes. Gradually, they became a priority concern of the Communist Party, whose aim was to gain ideological control over them. Soviet influence in education was exercised in the spirit of communist ideology, centralized state planning, and a bureaucratically controlled process of education marked by ideological influences. The paper aims to analyse the basic changes in educational models and specific features of Slovak higher education systems after the bipolar division of the world.

Abstract: As a result of the emergence of new forms of work in the professional environment, which have become established as a result of internationalisation, globalisation and specialisation, writing is becomming an important tool for the acquisition, restructuring and exchange of content-related information or new concepts among employees. However, this created challenges concerning the transparency and economy of expression in writing. The following paper presents a study that examined students' writing skills for professional purposes. The subject of the analysis were the results of a writing tasks given to students at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, related to an authentic workplace situation. In order to assess the level of preparation for the requirements of the current labour market based on the knowledge acquired during attendance of university courses, students were asked to solve a written task. After analysing the results obtained using quantitative and qualitative methods, conclusions were drawn regarding possible modifications of the curricula and the extension of the teaching programme to promote the training of writing skills for professional purposes.

According to the regulations of the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education, university graduates should have to know a foreign language at B2 level, as described in The Common European Framework of Reference, and they should know its specialized variety. These are the only recommendations concerning general language courses and their specialized varieties. It is up to schools of foreign languages or other institutions providing language courses for institutions of higher education to determine requirements concerning language for specific purposes. However, students are rarely asked to contribute to the development of curricula and syllabi. This article presents the results of a survey conducted among students of Economics and Management at the University of Białystok. The survey was devoted to students’ perceptions of Business English in English courses conducted by the School of Foreign Languages at the University of Białystok. The aim of the survey was to answer the following questions: - what do students of Economics and Management at the University of Białystok believe to be the appropriate proportion of general English to Business English? - when would they like to start learning Business English? - what Business English topics do students find interesting? - how do Economics and Management students use the knowledge and skills gained in Business English classes? The article also presents possible implications of the survey for ESP course designers, and stresses the importance of needs analysis for developing ESP syllabi in the context of Polish tertiary education

This article presents a theoretical discussion, supported by empirical research, about the attitudes of university teachers of foreign language in Poland towards the implementation of the National Qualification Framework for Higher Education. The opinions on the topic were collected by a questionnaire, conducted in March 2012, among representatives of 17 Polish universities. The research aimed to investigate whether institutional and administrative change connected with the reform of higher education in Poland is in any way contributing to reframing of competencies, or to the development of new competencies in foreign language teachers and researchers. The inter-nationalization of tertiary education and demands for orientation to the job market, widely discussed in literature and public debate recently, are irreversibly connected with globalization and the Bologna process. It is important to raise the question how this affects the generic and specific competencies of teacher trainers and educators. The research results revealed that academics are highly sceptical about the assumptions and effects of the implementation of the NQF. It is the author’s intention to diagnose the reasons for this in the context of seeing the NQF as creating new space for modi-fied and redefined skills, which are indispensable in the new educational reality.

One of the main tools with which a teacher contributes to the effective education of students is the issue of learning styles. A teacher should not only be able to recognize these learning styles and respect them, but also to effectively influence them. If there occurs a failure to respect the learning styles of individual students as well as of those regarding the teacher's styles of teaching, one may lose original individuals, or thinkers (Mareš, 1998). In this study, attention is not only focused on the possibility that learning styles differ merely in terms of students’ individual attitudes, but also on the opportunities where learning styles may be significantly influenced by the nature of various fields of study. This article aims to present the results of a quasi-experiment which was conducted at the Institute of Business and Technology in České Budejovice during the academic year 2013/2014. The main purpose was to determine and take into account the differences in the learning styles among students of economic and technical study programmes.

The knowledge of the field, verbal and nonverbal skills create professionalism. That is the case even for economically related jobs. This text focuses on nonverbal communication related to professional communication within the framework of tertiary economically-related education. We describe and analyze the basic insufficiencies in the professional nonverbal behavior of students of economically related disciplines. Professional communication competence can be gained only on the basis of having harmony between verbal and nonverbal component and detecting causes of any disharmony. This can be achieved by using the newest psycholinguistic research.

The aim of this paper is to find determinants of the choice of the field of study made by individuals undertaking higher education in Poland. One the most striking elements of the Polish transition process is a fundamental change of the conditions of the tertiary education market. With growing popularity of higher studies, choices related to this aspect of educational paths of young people gain more and more importance. In this empirical study we apply conditional multinomial logit model in order to find predictors of choices of different study profiles. Unobservable characterises for alternatives, regarding wages and probabilities of employment, were estimated using standard linear regression with Heckman selection procedure. The data used in the analysis come from the Polish General Social Survey for the period 1997-2010. General conclusion from our analysis is that economic factors are insignificant predictors of choice of the type and profile of higher education institution. Instead, social aspects, particularly related to the family background, seem to be key factors driving decisions of those individuals who decided to continue their education beyond secondary level.

In the considerations undertaken in the text I focus on the popular model of feedback, which is assigned the power of transforming teaching into effective learning. I assume that feedback – similarly to each didactic activity or means – is a social and cultural construct, and this is why in the analyses I refer to the multiplicity of theoretical educational concepts and the practical dimension and social context of tertiary education. This embeds the approach taken in the interpretative reasoning on didactics and the critical view on the considerations implemented. Results from the analyses problematise many didactic issues related to feedback, particularly the fact that they reflect its complex relationships with the establishment of educational objectives and limitations in it being associated with the creation of students’ cognitive autonomy. I do not determine the direction of changes that might occur in the Polish tertiary education, yet I draw attention to it being strongly rooted in normative didactics, solidified by adopted system solutions.

This paper investigates differences in salaries among 35 th. of graduates of 99 faculties (or equivalent units) in Poland specialized in the field of study “economic sciences” (economics, management, finance, etc.). The study, which is based on data from the Polish Graduates Tracking System (GTS), covers the entire population. First, the ranking of faculties was prepared. It proved that the noticeable differences exist in financial success at the early stage of career of graduates of different faculties. The hypothesis about poorer chances for financial success of graduates from private business schools was denied. Finally the hypothesis about advantage of graduates of faculties located in bigger cities was confirmed. The correlation between city size and salaries is moderately strong.

Purpose: The aim of the article is to examine the selected determinants of the expected rate of return on human capital. Methodology: We conducted an anonymous survey of expected salaries among the Accounting and Controlling students at the Cracow University of Economics, which provided a unique setting for the analysis. On the basis of collected data for the cost of living and the cost of professional education for every participant, we used the human capital model developed by Dobija to compute the perceived level of the human capital of each individual. Then, we compared the expected salaries with the perceived levels of human capital and computed expected rates of return on human capital. The following research methods are used: literature review, statistical tests, econometric modeling. Findings: On the sample of 754 respondents, we found that male students expect a higher rate of return on their human capital than female students, while older students expect a lower rate of return on human capital than younger students. Research limitations: Only one field of study was used to measure the determinants of the expected rate of return on human capital. Originality: We contribute to the salary expectations and human capital literature by identifying a significant gender salary expectations gap that holds even after considering individually assessed costs of living and professional education. Our findings are consistent with the well-known observation that women tend to expect lower salaries than men.

The objective of the paper is to highlight the need of adjusting the skills of tertiary education graduates to the requirements of the present global world, which entails the idea that higher education should be aimed at developing abilities that will facilitate communicating within and across a variety of communities, ethnicities and cultures. In the paper it is postulated that tertiary education graduates should be equipped, inter alia, with the skill of transcomunicating based on the idea of equality of cultures and languages. Due attention is paid to the role of study abroad programmes in the aforementioned process. Accordingly, the research part of the paper delves into the influence of the Erasmus+ mobility on the development of transcommunication among tertiary education students and rests on the analysis of the material gathered during interviews with learners who participated in the international student mobility conducted within The Erasmus+ Framework. The research results point to the key role of experiential learning held in territorial contexts in the process of developing the skill of transcommunicating among the research participants.

Focusing on a subject largely neglected in mainstream Czech social stratification research so far, this study seeks to examine to what extent tertiary educational attainment and educational mobility are affected by personal factors, such as personality traits, physical attractiveness, and self-esteem. It is based on data drawn from a large-scale representative survey carried out in the Czech Republic (Neglected Human Capital Dimensions 2015) as the second follow-up to the OECD PIAAC project. The results show that physical attractiveness plays a significant role in tertiary educational attainment, especially in the humanities and social-science disciplines. As for personality traits, Openness to Experience and Extraversion are more beneficial for humanities degrees, whereas Neuroticism significantly decreases a person’s chances of obtaining a degree in science. Conscientiousness and Self-esteem have a positive impact on upward educational mobility. The study also finds that there are some gender differences in the strength of the effect of personality factors, and that this is especially true for the trait of Agreeableness.

The article discusses the non-adjustment of the statutory limit relating to doctoral students, which sets out the right to a survivor’s pension. First some general information on the benefits, with particular emphasis on the periodic nature of the benefit, is presented on the basis of selected decisions of the Supreme Court. This is followed by some examples of statutory regulations that equalise as well as differentiate the rights and obligations of doctoral students with those of other students. These findings are subsequently compared with the existing constitutional norms. A special emphasis has been placed on the principle of equality before the law and the right to social assistance from the State in this particular case. References have been made to the doctrine and the previous judicial decisions of the Constitutional Tribunal. In the final summary, some legislative amendments are proposed.

Artykuł porusza pomijaną w dotychczasowym piśmiennictwie kwestię niedostosowania ustawowej granicy wyznaczającej prawo do renty rodzinnej w stosunku do uczestników studiów trzeciego stopnia (doktorantów). Inicjalnie przedstawiono podstawowe informacje dotyczące renty rodzinnej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem okresowego charakteru tego świadczenia, uwzględniając przy tym orzecznictwo Sądu Najwyższego. Następnie zaprezentowano wybrane przykłady ustawowych regulacji zrównujących w prawach i obowiązkach doktorantów ze studentami, jak również tych różnicujących status doktorantów. W dalszej kolejności dokonano kompilacji wcześniejszych tez, zestawiając je z unormowaniami konstytucyjnymi. Szczególny nacisk położono na wyrażoną w ustawie zasadniczej zasadę równości wobec prawa oraz prawa do pomocy socjalnej ze strony państwa, ergo tych regulacji szczególnie rzutujących na omawiany problem. Odwołano się przy tym do dotychczasowego dorobku doktryny oraz orzecznictwa Trybunału Konstytucyjnego. W podsumowaniu zasugerowano zmiany legislacyjne mające za zadanie eliminację zaobserwowanych zastrzeżeń względem Konstytucji RP.

Spatial decentralisation of tertiary education was among the most important processes contributing to the spread of tertiary education in Western Europę in the second half of the 20th century. The idea to establish new universities in areas deprived of tertiary education was seen as a democratisation tool for this level of education and for countries’ regional policies. It was hoped that the arrival of new universities in peripheral regions would improve access to tertiary education both in spatial and in social terms and will stimulate social development and economic growth. The case which has received most coverage in literaturę is the one of spatial decentralisation of tertiary education in Sweden, which began in 1970s. After more than 30 years sińce start of the Swedish tertiary education reform the actual outcomes of the changes can be assessed and this issue is addressed in the paper.

Decentralizacja przestrzenna szkolnictwa wyższego byta jednym z najważniejszych procesów przyczyniających się do upowszechnienia edukacji wyższej w krajach Europy Zachodniej w drugiej połowie XX w. W lokalizacji nowych uczelni na terenach pozbawionych instytucji szkolnictwa wyższego upatrywano narzędzia demokratyzacji tego szkolnictwa oraz polityki regionalnej kraju. Liczono, że powstanie nowych uczelni w regionach peryferyjnych zwiększy dostępność szkolnictwa wyższego zarówno w wymiarze przestrzennym, jak i społecznym oraz pobudzi procesy rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego. Najlepiej opisany w literaturze naukowej jest przypadek decentralizacji przestrzennej szkolnictwa wyższego w Szwecji, którą rozpoczęto w latach siedemdziesiątych XX w. Po ponad 30 latach od reformy szwedzkiego szkolnictwa wyższego można już w znacznym stopniu ocenić rzeczywiste efekty wprowadzonych zmian. Problem ten podjęto w niniejszym artykule.

The paper aims to answer two questions concerning inequalities at the tertiary level of education. Firstly, the impact of social background on the choices of fields studies, and, secondly, the gender-driven selection of fields of study. Research conducted to date has shown a visible relationship between one’s social background and the selection of academic disciplines studied. Individuals who have better-educated parents are more likely to study prestigious fields such as law or medicine. It has also been claimed that women are more likely to choose studies in humanities and social Sciences whereas men favour technical studies. Will these trends continue to exist given the rapid increase in the number of tertiary-level students in Poland sińce 1990s? The results of a survey conducted in three public universities in Białystok in 2008 have shown that students’ choices are driven by both their social background and gender. Also, a relationship has been identified between the choices of fields of study and the overall propensity to take risks. The author interprets the results of the survey building on the theory of cultural Capital, theory of monopolisation and rational choice.

Celem artykułu jest próba odpowiedzi na dwa pytania dotyczące nierówności na wyższym szczeblu edukacji. Pierwsze dotyczy wpływu pochodzenia społecznego na wybór kierunku studiów, drugie - selekcji między kierunkami ze względu na płeć. Dotychczasowe badania wykazały, że istnieje wyraźny związek między pochodzeniem społecznym a wyborem kierunku studiów. Osoby mające lepiej wykształconych rodziców częściej studiują na kierunkach prestiżowych, takich jak prawo czy medycyna. Wskazuje się również, że kobiety chętniej wybierają kierunki humanistyczne i społeczne, a mężczyźni kierunki techniczne. Czy w sytuacji szybkiego wzrostu liczby studentów, obserwowanego w Polsce od lat dziewięćdziesiątych XX w., te prawidłowości będą się utrzymywały? Wyniki sondażu przeprowadzonego na trzech państwowych uczelniach w Białymstoku w 2008 r. pokazują, że na wybory studentów nadal wpływają zarówno pochodzenie społeczne, jak i płeć. Zaobserwowano również związek między wyborem kierunku studiów a generalną skłonnością do podejmowania ryzyka. Autorka interpretuje wyniki tych badań w kategoriach teorii konfliktowej (monopolizacji), teorii kapitału kulturowego i teorii racjonalnego wyboru.
