RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to understand the elderly care policies approved in Brazil and to identify how the epidemiological profile of the population, especially the elderly is included in the curriculum and activities of the various undergraduate programs in the health area of UNESC. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The question is whether curricular guidelines and institutions address this need. It is a collective production, with a qualitative approach, based on a documentary analysis of the legislation and policies of the elderly in Brazil. Likewise, the documentary analysis of the Curriculum Guidelines of UNESC undergraduate programs was carried out as well as a survey of image records of activities carried out with seniors to illustrate some projects and actions developed. THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The analysis related to the subject described is based, on the one hand, on the study of the literature related to the issues discussed (theoretical aspect of the publication) and, on the other hand, on the results of the analysis of public policies, curricular guidelines, course contents and the relevance of practical actions to the studied subject. RESEARCH RESULTS: The results of the research indicate that in the scope of the University the graduate courses in the health area began to rediscover the professional formation from the principles of SUS and the national and regional epidemiological aspects, including the needs of the elderly, mainly from the approval of the attention to the elderly. CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The university has to tease more and more on the subject with its teachers, giving those tools for teaching gerontology and geriatrics and the need for a qualified formation.

The author of this research offer the hypothesis that university education is the most important condition for the development of an innovation-oriented economy and that the creation of an innovation society requires the modernization of university education. Innovation education has been identified as a key contributor to the enhancement of the innovative behavior of individuals, organizations and economies. It is widely believed that countries’ social and economic well-being will depend to an ever greater extent on the quality of their citizens’ education: the emergence of the so-called ‘knowledge society’, the transformation of information and the media, and increasing specialization on the part of organizations, all of which call for high skill profiles and levels of knowledge. This study builds to examines an individual’s understanding of the term innovation. By looking at undergraduate and postgraduate students in Poland represented by the Warsaw School of Economics it is hoped to ascertain what role education plays in developing the notion of “innovation” and innovation education with the purpose of assessing it

This article discusses the claim of a new paradigm in the knowledge production and diffusion process, and the need to assess the regional and local implications of this modal shift. After introductory remarks included in the first part of the paper, its next section introduces the theme of localisation of knowledge as a source of regional development; section three examines the lessons we can extract from the US university system (with a particular regard to the case of Johns Hopkins University and the recent project for a biotech park in the city of Baltimore); in section four an illustration of the Italian University system leads to a description of the current evolution of the University of Bologna toward a new entrepreneurial role. The last part of the paper discusses the embedded role of universities in the light of the two cases presented in the previous sections and draws the conclusions in terms of regional policy.

Interest in the problem of the participation of people with disabilities in public, social, professional and, in particular, educational life has increased over the past few years both worldwide and in Poland. The literature on the subject includes numerous publications concerning the education of children and youth with disabilities. This is not surprising since education at the primary as well as secondary school level is obligatory in Poland. It is also a condition for taking up higher education. The functioning of students with disabilities in higher education institutions is not so widely commented on in the literature. According to the data by the Central Statistical Office (GUS), the number of university students with disabilities amounted to 22,988 in 2007, and it increased to 31,613 by 2012. However, there has been a decline in the number of university students with disabilities since 2013. There were 28,940 university students with disabilities in 2013, while only 25,121 strived to receive third-level education in 2016, which constituted 1.86% of the total number of students in Poland. The fact that only 4.6% of people with disabilities had third-level education in 2002 is also worth noting. Since 2006, the number of students with disabilities at Pope John Paul II State School of Higher Education in Biała Podlaska has maintained a relatively permanent level of 50 people, representing 1.7% of the total number of students at the school. The objective of the study was to define the specificity of the functioning of the students with disabilities at Pope John Paul II State School of Higher Education in Biała Podlaska in the context of educational conditions offered to them by the school. The findings show that students with disabilities point to their difficult individual situation rather than to the conditions provided by the university as the source of their difficulties in studying.

After 1945 a number of changes occurred in rural Poland in relation to the education of farmers and their families, and the role of education in the lives of rural residents. First of all, a new group of peasant intelligentsia was formed, coming from the peasant or working-class environment. It was to replace the earlier elites by working in the spirit of socialist ideas and supporting the development of the state. Due to the need to rebuild the country and increase the efficiency of agriculture, educators and agricultural advisors trained in cities were also directed to villages. Pursuant to the implemented education development programs, farmers’ children gained access to schools, and parities were created for them at universities. As a result, there was a greater chance for farmers to send their children to universities, but this required financial capabilities of the family, as well as the belief that the education acquired would mean social advancement. The purpose of the article is to analyze the structure of education and educational opportunities of rural residents during the People’s Republic of Poland.

The article presents an insight into an exploratory study carried out between February and May 2014. The study looked into the process of teacher training enhanced by new technology: an MA CALL seminar facilitated in the blended format as a series of online and offline tutorials. The participants of the class were 9 first-year students of the TEFL MA programme at the Pedagogical University in Cracow, Poland. The study and its results were described in detail in previous publications (Turula, 2015, Turula, in press). The present article investigates an aspect of the process researched: negotiatingbetween the digital realm, with its different tools and their affordances and a socialcontext of the digital-or blended, as is the case here-education.

The importance of education can never be underplayed in any society as it is the most potent weapon given to man to transform, change and liberate him and society from the slavery of ignorance and backwardness. Education allows man to attain a rapid development in all ramifications. It should be known from the outset that universities in Africa are moulded on the foundation and systemic structure of the Western ideologies. There are salient multi-faceted and multi-dimensional barriers towards the pursuit of higher education in Africa. The aim of this paper is to examine the challenges of higher education in Africa, which hinders its process of producing a body of knowledge that will elevate the human condition and posit it for all-round development.

The medical schools face many difficult assignments in the area of educating the doctors. A proper orientation of the former will result in a well-prepared professional staff. An important role in achieving this objective should be played by clinical medicine, considered a particular scientific discipline. The important factor here is to connect theory with practice. Therefore, good medical schools are these which simultaneously continue their research and teaching activities. Thus, the chief task will be to teach students to think creatively, and not restoratively, and to teach skillful use of the benefits of the scientific and the moral authorities of older generations of doctors. The attitude of an academic teacher shall not be underestimated in this situation, which unfortunately, contemporarily, not always deserves recognition. It is also important to construct appropriate educational programs that can meet the needs and demands of students and, at the same time, will provide a comprehensive medical education and direct contact with patients during diagnosis. Throughout the learning process, one may not forget the moral attitude and ethics. Schools should educate students in a spirit of moral responsibility towards both their vocation and profession and towards the patiens.

Today, universities are actively exploring new forms of organization of training sessions, with most of them based on distance learning. One of the most widely-used features is videoconferencing which gained broad popularity in the educational process in world and in the Russian Federation alike. Videoconferencing allows realization of the management of the traditional educational process using remote access and modern technology. This way of communication knowledge and skills proves to be an important achievement brining modern methods of information processing into the educational process in Russian universities.

In the article there is a – hermeneutically inspired – reinterpretation of a seminar as a conversatorium. The fundamental argument is that the very form of university education contains a dialectic of translation and reading. But, none of them are possible without listening and the ability to transform what is heard into expressed word. However, the process of the very transformation is actually the translation. At first, the whole idea is illustrated by an etymological preliminary research and some hermeneutic, esp. Gadamerian, inspirations. They lead, then, to a topic of conversatorium to be analysed in the context of translation and hermeneutic dialectics comprehended as a searching for word. Finally, some reflections on education as translation are presented.

Aim. The main aim of the study is a presentation of the results of a quasi-experiment related to using a serious game in the preparation phase of supervised teaching practice as well as during its completion.  Methods. The main method of the study is a quasi-experiment with the factor rotation technique. The method comprised two phases with two unequal groups of surveyed university students. In the first phase, the experimental influence was investigated in the first group and the second group served as the control group (to compare the results). In the second phase, the groups were switched around in the quasi-experiment; the control group became the experimental group and vice versa.   Results. The presented study has a theoretical-empirical character. In the theoretical part, the characteristics of quasi-experiment and its use are briefly discussed. In the empirical part, the quasi-experiment is applied to the educational reality of future teachers. Supervised practice teaching is an important part of the university education of future teachers. Using a serious game therein is a positive element also when it comes to the development of students’ approach  towards supervised teaching practice. Conclusion. Quasi-experiment is used as an experimental method for verification of examined reality. In the educational reality, its realisation is more difficult because it is a more demanding environment than a laboratory one. By realising the quasi-experiment, the theoretical supposition about the positive influence of serious games on the development of a university student’s personality can be confirmed.

The article is devoted to the necessity of transformation of Ukrainian system of higher education under the influence of the conception of “A New Ukrainian School” adopted in 2016. The fact is that the Law of Ukraine “On Higher Education” (2014) does not contain any positions which would allow reformation of the system of university education with taking into consideration new accents of the secondary school reforms. The author analyzes the main concepts and goals of the forthcoming school reform, principles of competence approach to education. The drawbacks of the existing system of higher education are defined and the basic ways of their withdrawal are depicted. The peculiarities of teaching and development of a new generation of students which should be taken into account are notified. Differences and absence of succession in gaining secondary and higher education are displayed. In fact the conceptual positions of the school reform are based on the implementation of twelve-year studying at secondary school when the twelfth form is equaled to the first year at the university. In such a case the time of studying to gain a bachelor degree will be shortened to three years instead of four. As a result it will be necessary to make certain changes in university education. Shortening of academic hours caused by the three-year studying will result in dismissing of a great number of university professors. It would be necessary to change radically academic programs and curricula because universities would be obliged to train a new generation of school teachers who would teach integrated courses such as for example physics, chemistry, biology and astronomy. It would be necessary to create a new generation of textbooks to provide for the new integrated courses and this process requires a lot of time for selecting potential authors, training them, collecting the team of experts etc. To succeed the school reform universities would be obliged to get rid of the obsolete lecture-seminar system and replace it with a tutor system which allows developing students’ critical thinking, creativity, ability for self-development, professional competence. Learning process should become productive instead of now existing reproductive when students retell the materials of the textbooks or lectures. A lot of other changes are to be made in the system of higher education in Ukraine from the viewpoint of “A new Ukrainian School”, and all these changes require special financing on the part of the state.

The article discusses searching for solutions related to the university education of preschool and early school teachers in a time marked by intense and unpredictable changes. The fluid reality we live in poses an important challenge for those responsible for teacher training, requiring them to prepare teachers to deal with constant changes and remain open to what is yet to come. In a constantly changing reality, it is difficult to predict which competencies teachers will need in the next decades of the 21st century. It is certainly worth the effort to focus on fostering the passion and developing the personalities of future teachers working with children of preschool and early school age. The education process should also take into account the needs and expectations of the new generation of teachers, representing what the literature of the subject describes as “generation Z”. Apart from including theoretical considerations, the article is an attempt to showcase selected solutions developed at the Faculty of Educational Studies of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan.

This study is a philosophically sociological and pedagogical reflection on the current status of universities as institutions and the profile of university education. It draws attention to the original characteristics that made up the idea and essence of university, which should not be forgotten at a time when higher education institutions are being diversified. It analyzes the development of higher education in terms of its functions and value in the context of societal change in the era of industrialization and globalization. It contemplates the university’s loss of identity at a time when financial capital prevails over science and technology, and educational preferences favor the market and practice. It considers paradigmatic change in university education as well as the future role of universities. The paper reflects on global trends through the eye of transforming countries, although it does not directly cover these countries directly.

Background and Purpose - IBM SPSS Statistics is among the most widely used programs for statistical analysis in social sciences. Due to many practical values it is frequently used as a tool for teaching statistical concepts in many social science university programs. In our opinion, motivation to learn and to use SPSS during the studying process plays a significant role in building a positive attitude towards SPSS which influences its usage at the professional level after finishing study. Design/Methodology/Approach - The aim of this paper is the development of the model for analysing the acceptance of the SPSS among university students of social sciences. The model is based on the widely known Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). In addition to the traditional components of the TAM, six external variables were included. The model is tested using the web survey on the university students of social sciences from seven faculties at three Slovenian universities. Results - The evaluation of the questionnaire was performed. Descriptive statistics were calculated. The dependencies among the model components were studied and the significant dependencies were pointed out. Conclusion - The results of the empirical study prove that all external variables considered in the model are relevant, and directly influence both key components of the traditional TAM, ≫Perceived Usefulness≪ and ≫Perceived Ease of Use≪. Therefore, our model is useful to study the adoption and continuous utilization of SPSS among the students of social sciences. The obtained results are useful for educators, and can help them to improve the learning process.
