An article covers the specifics of professional training of future geographers for field researches in period of the XIX – beginning of the XX century. It is detected that this period is characterized by rapid development of geographical science and education, followed by foundation of several higher educational institutions, opening of geographical departments and further improvement of field researches with the participation of students. The place of geographical discipline in education plans of the main high schools in the country is defined. The specifics of organization of practice related to nature observation is considered. It is found out that during the XIX – beginning of the XX century the scientific work of students have been implemented by performing independent exploratory researches, participation in joint scientific expeditions with teachers and in scientific sections. It is established that the increase of natural scientists’ activity since the mid-50s of the XIX century was due primarily to the inclusion of natural sciences in the program cycle. And at the end of the XIX century teaching geography to students was already systematic. The negative trends in geography teaching related to usage of lectures mainly, which are not very deep and instructive, and missing interaction between knowledge and practice are emphasized. It is detected that the development of geographical disciplines are inseparably linked to the activities of scientific and nature-study organizations of that period. An important part in nature research of different regions played Russian Geographical Society which employees in fact have founded regional statistical-geographical and local researches, set up criteria of its program support. It is defined that foundation of scientific societies has become one of the special organization form of scientific researches, and namely society of naturalists. This has caused the development and formation of geography and nature study. It is determined that teaching stuff started actively involving and encouraging students in research activities. The viewpoints of natural scientists are analyzed, namely about study status, the importance of foundation of geographical departments, organization and involvement of field researches into education plans of high schools. It is found out that active development of higher school in the preparation of subject teachers had a positive impact on the process of theoretical justification and methodological improvement of teaching of natural sciences, as well as organizing and conducting field researches.

The base of efficient functioning of every organization, including a unit of territorial self-government, is among others, possession of suitable stock of information. The units of observation subsystem (including services of public statistics) notice state and changes happening in the scale of territorial unit registering them in different forms. As an effect of these observations, a set of information about state of unit and its individual elements is formed. It helps in taking a decision by self-government authorities. The meaning of information in decision processes of organs of territorial self-government grows distinctly. It also becomes a kind of challenge for public statistics.

The article is an important starting point for reflecting upon the emergence and development of fundamental trust through the first, primary relationship between the newborn and the parent. The birth of the first child signifies establishment of a family system, in which the concepts and mechanisms that Relational Family Therapy is built upon, are reflected on a systemic, interpersonal and intrapsychic level. Relational Family Therapy can find a way to resolve painful psychical contents and bring about a relief of the family system. The starting point for the study of the family described in this paper is the method of observing newborn behavior, the Newborn Behavioral Observations System (hereinafter NBO) with elements of Relational Family Therapy, which significantly helps to build a confident parental role and establishes a closer relationship between parents and children, thus forming the foundation for all further relationships.

The paper presents three main definitions of theoretical entity: basic definition, definition from unobservability, and ontological definition. These are the definitions of theoretical entity that are most popular and widely accepted by philosophers of science (both realists and antirealists). All these definitions contain significant defects, which lead to unacceptable conclusions. The author also offers an alternative definition from explanation, which avoids the defects of previous definitions. The aim of the paper is to prove that proper definition of theoretical entity is necessary in debates over scientific realism. To make a legitimate claim about the existence of theoretical entities, one should know what theoretical entity really is.

The purpose of the study is to establish the types of emotions that are expressed by primary school teachers, their frequency, and the situations that trigger them. Teachers were observed by primary education students during their practical work at school. The observations of 108 teachers in 93 primary schools in Slovenia were analysed. The results show that teachers express a variety of emotions with the unpleasant ones prevailing. Anger was the most frequently expressed emotion. The situations that triggered emotions were varied. Among them, students’ discipline and academic achievement triggered the majority of pleasant and unpleasant emotions in teachers.

The author of the article presents the influence of physical activities on socially maladjusted youth, on the basis of desk research analysis, as well as using personal observations conducted during serving as a probation officer for a period of two years. The observations were conducted on a group of 11 male and female minors advised physical activities, as one of the means of influence in the process of resocialization. The article focuses on two social environments, where the resocialization process may take place – the open environment and the institutional environment. The author presents the process of resocialization, its goals, methods used in it, and the reasons why this process is so significant. The aim of the article is to show the changes occurring in the behaviour of young and socially maladjusted people as a result of participating in sports activities. The author’s final conclusions indicate the positive effects of physical activity as a means of influence.

The author reflects upon her experience of exploratory fieldwork conducted by an interdisciplinary group during the Urban Summer School. The research was conducted within an environment built according to the idea of "Open Form", introduced by architect Oskar Hansen. Together with his wife Zofia, he designed a few neighborhoods around Poland, one of which – the Juliusz Słowacki housing estate in Lublin – is used as a case study for this paper. The article follows the process of collaborative development of research design and discusses a number of methods (focused ethnography, interviews, mental mapping, observation, participatory photography) applied to the study of materiality and social functioning of balconies as "threshold spaces" and their domestication. The author also outlines her positions in relation to both the local people with whom she has conducted interviews about their homes and the participants of her group.

Contemporary time, interpreted by the prism of security, is no longer dominated by easy to describe inter-state conflicts or regional threats. Experts every now and then define new types of threats such as cybercrime, cyberterrorism or cyberwar. The intense and multi-level uncertainty affects the understanding of the present and the predicted future, and thus the search for security by all of us. The answer depends in part on whether we are able to understand contemporary security environment. These issues are, to my mind, independent of the place in which we are. Using tools for diagnosing and monitoring security remains an open question. At the moment we are searching for a solution to this problem by means of modern technologies. The paper stresses the importance and application of e.g. Internet technology and global telecommunication. Interpersonal relations are being replaced with technological solutions. Nowadays, a phone or a computer connected to the web is sufficient to make contact with another person or check what information official sources are bringing us today. Actions for security as a result of incorrect reception of a message may be associated with erroneous perception of the content and propaganda. As a result, the recipient is consciously manipulated. New technologies take the form of nonconventional, organized activities for security. Any number of people can cooperate through the web for security management without actual superior authority. Members of such groups, established ad hoc, may use their knowledge to express objections or dissatisfaction. The paper also presents another aspect of using technology. According to the author, there are situations in which technologies acting for reinforcing security often cause objection, motivated by restricting civil freedoms and by the threat of an attack on a free and open society.

Relations between theory and empirical knowledge belong to basic problemsin philosophy of science and have been undergone detailed philosophical reflection,including epistemological aspects. During last several dozen years,due to development of computer technology, numerical simulations becamea common tool in natural sciences. Their epistemological aspects, however,have not worked out yet. A specific role of computer simulations manifestsin subcellular biology, where possibilities of performing experiments and observationsare limited. Computer simulation is complementary to observationand experiment and comes into complex relations with them. It allows us tocome to a conclusion if experiment or observations are impossible to perform.In particular, simulations allow researchers to estimate the parameters thatcannot be measured.

The article is an editorial analysis of the fragments of a diary found in the archives of the National Library in Warsaw (manuscript 5905 II), which belonged to Maria Faleńska, a translator, writer, columnist, and wife of poet Felicjan Faleński. The text is published for the first time and it consists of six pages of the diary dated between 1879-1893 and a single page entitled Silva rerum with citations and golden thoughts. It depicts a portrait of an intelligent, educated and reserved woman, showing a lively interest in a daily life of Warsaw of the second half of the 19th century of which she was a keen observer. The notes were taken very irregularly. The writer’s attention is focused on the outside world and the selection of described events (mainly tragic, such as deaths, illnesses, crimes etc.) and it seems to indicate her pessimistic attitude towards life.

The article considers the problem of researcher’s embodiment in the process of data gathering and analysis in an ethnographic study on social world of climbing. In author’s opinion, presented reflections go beyond described case and remain applicable to every ethnographic research interested in embodied experiences of human beings, especially these in which the main research topic is physical, e.g., sport activity, bodywork, and work with the body. The author analyses relations between embodiment of particular actions taken by the researched subjects and embodiment of the research process. She raises the problem of transition between the researcher’s identity and the social world participant’s identity – searching for the possibility of using autoethnography in the process of data gathering and analyzing. Finally, she presents three aspects of the body/embodiment in the ethnographic research, referring them to the studied subjects (climbers) and to the researcher: (a) the body as an agent, (b) the embodied experience, (c) the body as a subject of theorizing and reflections. The author emphasizes the embodied nature of research process – especially in the ethnographic studies – and suggests taking into consideration the embodiment of the researcher and the role of the body in the process of knowledge production.

W nauczaniu geografii w szkole średniej duży nacisk położono na umiejętność rozwiązywania testów. Zaniedbano zaś nauczania obserwacji. Dlatego u studentów, również na kierunku turystyka i rekreacja jest duża nieporadność w samodzielnych obserwacjach. A w celach nauczania tego przedmiotu jest wykształcenie umiejętności samodzielnego pozyskiwania wiadomości o walorach rekreacyjnych, atrakcjach turystycznych i infrastrukturze. W toku nauczania geografii turystycznej należy wprowadzić i ćwiczyć umiejętność obserwacji. Obejmuje ona postawienie celu obserwacji, dobór metod oraz umiejętność odczytu i interpretacji wyniku. Analiza samodzielnych prac studentów pozwala wskazać, że głównym powodem kłopotów ze studenckimi obserwacjami są: 1– brak umiejętności ich dokonywania, 2 – nieporadność w przedstawianiu ich wyników, spowodowana słabym opanowaniem języka, 3 – braki w wiedzy ogólnej.

In the teaching of geography in the secondary school a large emphasis was put on the ability of the tests solving, while teaching of observations was neglected. Therefore, a low level of the unassisted work, of the secondary schools students, was observed. The skill of obtaining information about the tourist attractions, landmarks and the tourism infrastructure is one of the goals in the teaching of geography of tourism. The skills should be practiced and used during the course of the geography of tourism. The exercises should focus on: 1) the goal of the observation, 2) the selection of the method, and 3) the appropriate interpretation of the results obtained. These stages cause problems also among the students of tourism. On the basis of difficulty posed for the students the reasons for that are as follows: 1– inability to perform the observation process, 2– awkwardness in presenting of the observation results, (often caused by low level of the native language), 3– gaps in the general knowledge. All Those negatively influence the effectiveness of the teaching of geography of tourism.

The article is an attempt to analyse and interpret the visual aspect of the work of Prus, and especially the impact of the writer’s diseases (including a deepening vision defect, agoraphobia) on the ability to perceive reality and the creation of the world presented in the works (based on the novels: "The New Women", "The Doll", "Dzieci") and on the construction of Prus’s characters in order to find an answer to the question: how do they look and what do they see? The text presents a portrait of Prus short-sighted (experienced also by a hyperopia); how the writer perceives and uses the descriptions of the colours; how he creates an image of the omnipresent four eyes-protagonist in his works; and finally – how he prepares to work, gathering materials in his notebooks, which can be described as his writing workshop. There are the author’s notes on the sight, its role and place among other senses. With time other sources of the world knowledge begin to dominate over the more and more imperfect observation: his experience, acquired knowledge, and above all – feeling.

Background. A good teaching method allows better transfer of knowledge between teachers and students. Problems and aim. Taekwondo instructors lack exposure to the variety of methods of teaching Taekwondo to children makes children not interested in participating in Taekwondo. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of two teaching methods; observation techniques and hand-body manipulation on Taekwondo Taegeuk 3 (TT3) learning among primary school children. Methods. The design of this study used pre- and post -test experimental research methods. The study population consisted of primary school children. A total of 40 children who are members of a Taekwondo club in Malaysia were involved in this study. All subjects followed the same pre -test session before the intervention session began. Subjects were divided into 2 experimental groups namely N1 = 20 (observation), N2 = 20 (hand-body manipulation) and attended 2 intervention sessions for 3 hours, to learn and practice TT3 with different methods. The selected study instrument was a TT3 score sheet. Scores before and after the test were recorded and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics. Result. The results of the data analysis showed that the pre-test scores obtained by both groups were quite similar because the same activities and amount of pre-test time were given. The post-test scores showed significant differences between both groups. Conclusion.Learning methods using observation techniques result in effective learning transfer because it saves time, subjects can witness TT3 demonstrations more often as well as teach many students.

Tło. Dobra metoda nauczania pozwala na lepsze przekazywanie wiedzy między nauczycielem a uczniem. Problemy i cel. Instruktorzy Taekwondo nie mają możliwości zapoznania się z różnorodnymi metodami nauczania dzieci Taekwondo, co powoduje, że dzieci nie są zainteresowane uczestnictwem w zajęciach. Celem niniejszej pracy było zbadanie skuteczności dwóch metod nauczania: technik obserwacji i manipulacji ręka-ciało na naukę Taekwondo Taegeuk 3 (TT3) wśród dzieci ze szkoły podstawowej. Metody. W badaniu zastosowano eksperymentalne metody badawcze pre- i post-test. Badana grupa składała się z dzieci ze szkół podstawowych. W badaniu wzięło udział 40 dzieci należących do klubu Taekwondo w Malezji. Wszyscy uczestnicy przeszli tę samą sesję przedtestową przed rozpoczęciem sesji interwencyjnej. Uczestnicy zostali podzieleni na 2 grupy eksperymentalne: N1 = 20 (obserwacja), N2 = 20 (manipulacja ręka-ciało) i wzięli udział w 2 sesjach interwencyjnych trwających 3 godziny, aby nauczyć się i przećwiczyć TT3 różnymi metodami. Wybranym narzędziem badawczym był arkusz wyników TT3. Wyniki przed i po teście były rejestrowane i analizowane przy użyciu IBM SPSS Statistics. Wynik. Wyniki analizy danych pokazały, że wyniki przedtestowe uzyskane przez obie grupy były dość podobne, ponieważ wykonano te same ćwiczenia i przeznaczono na nie tyle samo czasu. Wyniki uzyskane po teście wykazały znaczące różnice między obiema grupami. Wnioski. Metody nauczania wykorzystujące techniki obserwacyjne pozwalają na efektywne przekazywanie wiedzy, ponieważ oszczędzają czas, uczestnicy mogą częściej oglądać demonstracje TT3, a także uczyć wielu uczniów.

Funkčnosť, spoľahlivosť a bezpečnosť zložitých technologických systémov, ktoré pozostávajú z elementárnych komponentov, je determinovaná ich kvalitnou údržbou. V článku je popísaný príklad reálneho postupu pracovníkov počas opravy elektromotora v atómovej elektrárni. Metódou partnerskej kontroly pri riadenej činnosti bolo hodnotené dodržiavanie zásad bezpečnosti práce nestranným pozorovateľom. Cieľom bolo zistiť chybovosť ľudského činiteľa. Ako nástroje zisťovania odchýlok od štandardného postupu pri oprave elektromotora boli použité koučing a pozorovanie. Boli identifikované viaceré zlyhania ľudského činiteľa. Opatrenia na uplatnenie nástrojov na prevenciu ľudských chýb boli založené na preškoľovaní a sebauvedomovaní si nesprávnosti postupov zamestnancov v dôsledku objektívnych aj subjektívnych príčin a uvedomenie si osobnej zodpovednosti pracovníkov za kvalitne a bezpečne vykonanú prácu.

Functionality, reliability and safety of complex technological systems consisting of elementary components are determined by their quality service. The paper describes an example of the real process of workers during reparation of the electric engine in the nuclear power plant. There was evaluated fulfillment of the principles of safety at work what was done by an independent observer who used the method of the partner control. The aim was to identify human failing factor. Couching and observation were used as tools to identify the deviations from the standard procedure at the electric engine repairing. Several human factor errors were identified. The measures for applications of the tools preventing human failings were set up on retraining and self-perception of the incorrect procedures of the employees due to objective and subjective reasons. These measures should help to achieve desirable behavior change and relevant awareness of the personal for responsibility for quality and safe work performed by the staff.

Podejmowane od drugiej połowy XIX w. problemy badawcze rozwiązywane za pomocą narzędzia badawczego, jakim był rysunek, dotyczyły wielu obszarów życia, w tym edukacji plastycznej i matematycznej. Ważną kwestią postępowania badawczego stało się ustalenie zależności między zdolnościami matematycznymi dzieci a umiejętnościami odtwarzania kształtów obserwowanych przedmiotów. Postawiony problem dotyczył różnic istniejących między rysunkami brył (sześcian, ścięty stożek), wykonanych przez 8–9-letnie dzieci o różnym poziomie uzdolnień matematycznych (bez wyraźnych uzdolnień matematycznych i o takowych). Na podstawie wskazań nauczycieli odnoszących się do uzdolnień matematycznych uczniów wyodrębniono dwa zestawy prac plastycznych obrazujących obserwowane bryły, a ich analiza pozwoliła określić wstępne ustalenia przeprowadzonych badań o charakterze pilotażowym.

The research issues, which were examined since the second half of the 19th century and involved a picture as a research tool, referred to many spheres of human life, including art education as well as mathematics education. It became an important research issue to define the relation between children’s mathematical skills and their ability to present shape of observed objects. The problem concerned differences that might be observed between presentations of solid figures (cubes, truncated cone). The pictures were drawn by children at the age of 8–9 years with different levels of mathematical skills (children who had an aptitude for maths and those without mathematical aptitude). Based on teacher’s information regarding the pupils’ mathematical skills, two sets of art works were distinguished. Each of them comprised drawings that presented solid figures the children observed. Analysis of these pictures made it possible to define preliminary outline of the pilot study.

Celem artykułu jest pokazanie czynników wpływających na powstawanie emocji społecznych, takich jak duma, wstyd, poczucie winy, zażenowanie oraz emocji podstawowych, takich jak smutek, złość, strach, występujących w sytuacji pracy. Czynniki te zostały omówione na przykładzie dwóch grup zawodowych, to jest nauczycieli i przedstawicieli handlowych. Podstawę teoretyczną stanowiły koncepcje zaliczane do nurtu socjologii interakcjonizmu symbolicznego. Szczególnie ważne dla niniejszych rozważań były myśli June Tangney i Thomasa Scheffa. Analizę empiryczną oparto na badaniach autorki przeprowadzonych z użyciem wywiadów swobodnych i narracyjnych oraz obserwacji. W artykule poruszono problem interakcji jako głównego czynnika wpływającego na emocje w pracy zawodowej. Omówiono kolejno interakcje ze współpracownikami, z przełożonymi, klientami, organizacją, w tym interakcje odnoszące się do regulacji prawnych.

The aim of the paper is to show the factors affecting the formation of social emotions, such as pride, shame, guilt, embarrassment, and basic emotions, such as sadness, anger, fear, occurring within one’s professional context. These factors are discussed basing on the example of two professional groups such as teachers and sales representatives. Theoretical basis for the analysis are provided Thomas J. Scheff and June Tangney’s concepts. Empirical analysis is based on the author’s research conducted with the use of the semi-structured interviews, covert and overt participant observations, and quasi-participant observations. In this paper the problem of interaction is shown as the main factor affecting experiencing emotions at one’s professional context. Discussed are interactions with colleagues, interactions with supervisors, interactions with customers, interactions with the organization, including interactions relating to the law.
