Internet and Religion

100%
PL
This article includes deliberations on a few significant issues concerning the relationship between the Internet and religion. According to these deliberations, every fourth respondent among secondary school students (25.6%) searched for some forms of religious activity within the last six months before the sociological research, especially from among deeply devout persons and regular churchgoers. The overwhelming majority of the surveyed was not interested in this new activity. The young people from secondary schools used the Internet to search for religious content to a limited extent. The researched secondary school students slightly more often informed about looking for religious content on YouTube, on parish, diocese or congregation websites, as well as Internet forums or chats, while the least often on pilgrimage office sites or religious community and organization portals. About every fifth of the respondents attending secondary school attached the same importance (as multiple index indicates) to religious activity in the virtual world as in the real world (from 31.0% to 7.0%). The highest index referred to Internet retreats and sermons, prayers online, virtual parish communities as well as Holy Masses and church services on the web.

Aim. The study intends to determine the influence of socio-economic status on academic interest of secondary school students in Meghalaya. The study was conducted in two districts of Meghalaya i.e., in East Jaintia Hills and West Jaintia Hills Districts. Method. The researcher used sequential explanatory design for collecting the necessary information. The procedure of data collection was that the researcher constructed a semi-structured interview schedule whereby it was validated by the experts in the field of education. In order to determine the influence of socio-economic status on academic interest of secondary school students, the researcher conducted an in-depth interview on 50 secondary school students who were studying in class X. These students were selected purposively from two districts of Meghalaya. The interview was conducted at school premises and the necessary information collected from students was recorded and transcribed to obtain the results. Results. Based on the interview conducted, the study found that socio-economic status did not influence the academic interest of the secondary school students; however, student’s high aspirations, their interest in various subjects, their ambitions, determination and will power to work hard in their studies influence their academic interest. Conclusion. Socio-economic status was not found to have influences on the academic interest of the secondary school students and on the whole the present study suggested for teachers and parents to work cooperatively in order to help students realize their goals and desires.

The aim of the article is to present the research results concerning, among the others, chosen identity elements, plans for life and value systems of secondary school students (general and technical secondary schools) in Dabrowa Gornicza and Tychy. It seemed interesting to learn the way young people, born in 1989 (the year when, according to Joanna Szczepkowska’s words "Communism ended in Poland") view the world around them. The sociological survey covered over 2000 graduates from Tychy and Dabrowa Gornicza, who took their Matura Examination in the spring of 2009. The survey results are important for at least a few reasons: • firstly, they are a diagnosis of personality condition of young people from Upper Silesia; • secondly, they may serve as a suggestion for ongoing discussion on education reform and further expectations in this area; • thirdly, they highlight (to some extent at least) who will shape the future of Poland and the Poles.

Research investigating differences between reading comprehension of electronic and paper texts has so far provided conflicting evidence. Thus, the present paper aims to examine the impact of the text source on the quality of reading comprehension of Polish intermediate learners of English. In a pre-test the participants representing a similar level of this subskill were selected and divided into two groups. In the study proper, the control group read a paper version of the text while the treatment group did it using a computer screen. Although the participants’ results were better in the case of e-texts than of p-texts, these differences were not statistically significant.

The teacher’s skills in conducting the lesson and choice of teaching methods play an essential role in creating students’ interest in biology. The aim of the research was to study the opinion of secondary school students and biology teachers regarding the most successful teaching methods used in biology lessons and viable options to make biology lessons more interesting. The research comprised polling students and biology teachers from several schools, namely: 2 secondary schools in Jelgava, 2 in Riga and 1 in Vecumnieki. The responses revealed that 58% of students find biology lessons interesting. 56% of students indicated that their ability to focus attention during biology lessons depends on the task presented to them. Most of all they prefer watching the teacher’s presentations, listening to their teacher telling about the actual topic as well as performing laboratory work and group-work. Many students like participating in discussions, whereas a far smaller number would do various exercises, individual tasks, fill out worksheets or complete projects. Least of all students wish to work with the textbook. The methods most frequently applied by teachers are as follows: lecture, explanation, demonstration, and discussion. Teachers believe that their students prefer laboratory work and discussions as well as listening to their teacher and watching presentations or films. They also indicate at the necessity to link theory with practice and to involve information technologies. While teaching their subject biology teachers try to establish relationship between theory and real life in order to develop their students’ interest in natural processes.

With this article I show the perception shared by high school and university students in Poland concerning the role of the priest in the Church and society. The basis of these findings are the results of three sociological studies that I carried out in years 1983, 1998, and 2008, realized among 976 high school students and 414 university students in Kalisz, Poland. In the given 25 year period, the perception of the role of the religious priest in the Church and the parish, as well as his social role in a democratic state, underwent major changes. Both types of roles-religious and social-recognized by the audited youth differ significantly from their definition as given by the doctrine of the Catholic Church. The youth imagine the priest in these roles in a different way than the Church and concentrate their attention on those elements that have practical significance. Indicators of these changes are included in the statistical tables.

The article aims to present the research findings regarding the level of knowledge the students of Warsaw University of Life Sciences and the students of Jadwiga Dziubińska Agricultural Education Centre Schools in Golądkowo have about renewable energy resources. The research shows that the university and secondary school students are most knowledgeable about solar energy and wind power. The students whose field of studies is Renewable Energy Technologies demonstrate more knowledge of geothermal energy, biogas or biomass. Most respondents acquire knowledge about renewable energy resources from the Internet and television while the students of Renewable Energy Technologies acquire their knowledge in the course of their studies. The respondents believe that the production of energy from renewable sources is safe for the environment and human health. But most respondents, including the secondary school and university students, think that biogas is harmful for the environment and human health. Almost three fourth of the respondents are most willing to use solar energy. The second most popular source of energy is wind power. According to the respondents, the advantages of the investments are the protection of the environment and reduction of greenhouse gases emission. A big proportion of the students of Renewable Energy Technologies are for becoming independent of the increasing prices of fossil fuels. The research shows that, in the students’ opinion, wind power and solar energy development is most prospective in Poland. The students of Renewable Energy Technologies believe that there are big opportunities for biomass development in Poland.

This study - carried out in May 2020, early on during the COVID-19 pandemic - examines the situation in the Polish e-education market, as perceived by secondary school and university students who consume e-education services and by the providers of such services. Firstly, to set the stage, in-depth interviews were carried out with eight owners of companies offering commercial e-education services. Next, an extensive online survey was carried out among secondary school and university students in the 2019–2020 school/academic year using the CAWI method on a sample of 803 respondents - with secondary school students (group I) accounting for 30% of the sample and university students (group II) making up the remaining 70% - concerning their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with e-education services. Taken together, the findings allow for an assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning and point to the increased demand for e-education services during the pandemic, in tandem with a continually shifting e-education services market.

To investigate the role of academic achievement in the reasons for participation in and/or avoidance of competition more clearly, the presented research was aimed at assessing the role of the discrepancy between objective evaluations and subjective self-evaluations of academic performance in secondary school students. The differences between under-raters, accurate raters, and over-raters in their reasons for participation in and/or avoidance of competition were investigated. The study comprised 534 secondary school students. The results do not clearly indicate possible benefits of the positive bias; we found that under-rating may have some advantages in the sense of mastery orientation and self-improvement motives (upward comparison) in competitive situations. Concerning other reasons for participation in competition, as well as reasons for avoiding it, students were found to rely more on teachers’ objective measure of academic performance than on the (in)accurate aspect of social comparison information.

The aim of the article is to apply Raymond Boudon’s theory of educational inequalities to the analysis and explanation of educational inequalities in Poland. The theory of primary and secondary effects of stratification was tested among the groups of middle school students (N = 1787) and secondary school leavers (N = 1168). The results of the analyses in both groups confirmed the presence of all the mechanisms of educational inequalities formulated within Boudon’s theory. First of all, the influence of one’s standing and capitals on the attitude towards education was observed. The students from middle classes more often valued tertiary education highly and noticed the relationship between higher education and life success. Secondly, educational performance was higher among the students of higher status, equipped with capitals. Thirdly, in the case of identical educational achievements, more ambitious educational choices were made by students of higher status. Fourthly, the influence of middle schools on educational aspirations has been discovered. The results of the research confirmed the validity of the theory of effects of stratification and proved its relevance and usefulness in terms of researching the effects of educational changes in Poland.

The article presents the results of our research on the declared interests of high school students organized by categories of interest that emerge from different professional activities. The study was conducted in middle school integration, located at the Małopolska province. The diagnostic survey was used as a research method. The proven method so­‑called card of interests was adopted in our extended study. We have found big number of pupils who declare their technical and biological interests. These indicators achieved high values, such results have been observed especially among boys. In this survey we found also a significant percentage of pupils not showing readiness to take the first career decisions. We believe that such attitudes are a clear indication to work for guidance counselors working in the third stage of education.

Objectives To determine the age and the most common circumstances for smoking initiation along with smoking rates and to evaluate smoking trends for secondary and high school students in Poland during 2009 and 2011. Material and Methods In 2009, a pilot study was conducted in districts of Poland on high school students and their parents. For statistical analysis, correctly completed questionnaires from 999 students and 667 parents were qualified for use. After the pilot study, a nationwide study of secondary school students and their parents was also conducted in 2009. For statistical analysis, correctly completed questionnaires were used from 9360 students and 6951 from their parents. The research tool was a questionnaire developed by the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate. These studies were then compared to the nationwide research study from 2011. Questionnaires were obtained from a survey of 3548 students from secondary schools and 4423 of those from high schools. Results Smoking initiation usually begins at ages 12–15 years. Rates of secondary school student smoking at least once in their lifetime were about the same level in the surveyed years (2009 – 9%, 2011 – 11%), whereas rates of high school student smoking increased (2009 – 15%, 2011 – 24%). Moreover, 34% of secondary school student smoked less than once a week, whereas in 2009, only 8% of students had done so. For high school students, a 1/2 smoked every day; similar to 2009. Students usually smoked in parks, on streets or any other open space areas. Conclusions From analyzing the smoking trends over the survey period it can be concluded that the problem of smoking increases with respondent age. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2017;30(5):763–773

In the context of second language acquisition, foreign language enjoyment (FLE) is a relatively new concept. For that reason, none of the few research carried out in the field thus far has been focused on whether gender might be an important determinant of either a high or a low level of FLE. Thus, the purpose of the present paper was to examine the influence of FLE on learning English as a foreign language, as well as to investigate this relationship from the perspective of gender. The results of this study revealed that there are no statistically significant differences between males and females in FLE, while such differences are found in terms of the sources of FLE each gender perceives as the most crucial ones. It has been proved that FLE increases with the level of students’ proficiency, and a high level of FLE results in students’ greater academic achievement.

Objectives This article investigates sickness presence among secondary school students in 5 European countries. The research questions asked are: What characterizes students with high sickness presence in secondary schools? Does high sickness presence influence future sickness absence? Material and Methods A group of 7008 students aged 16–19 years participated in the first study (2016), and 5002 of them also participated in the follow-up study (2017). The participants came from 25 schools in Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Italy and Latvia. The response rate was high. A multivariate binomial logistic regression analysis was used. Results In 2016 high sickness presence (≥ 5 incidents) was reported by 16% of the students, and in 2017 by 15% of them. In 2016 there were significant differences between countries, and students from Latvia were most likely to report high sickness presence (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 3.45). Students with high absence (aOR = 1.86) and high school motivation (aOR = 1.16, for 1 pt increase on a 5-point scale) were overrepresented among those reporting high sickness presence. Country, absence and motivation were also significant factors for sickness presence in 2017. Furthermore, there was a significant positive association between high sickness presence and high sickness absence the following year. Conclusions Country, absence, and motivation were important factors for high sickness presence in secondary schools. Engaging in high sickness presence seemed to influence future sickness absence.

The present study examined the links alienation and school burnout. The analysis was conducted on the sample of 84 secondary school students (47 women and 37 men) aged 12–55 years (M age = 13,70 years). Alienation were measured by the PAI inventory and school burnout was measured by the ESSBS scale. The results indicated significant gender differences in the level of burnout total score, but not in the level of alienation total score. Significant correlations between burnout and alienation were also observed, however the relations were stronger in the group of girls. Findings also confirmed that alienation, especially anomy and meaninglessness are important predictors of school burnout (31% explained variances of total score in ESSBS).

W badaniu poszukiwano związku między doświadczaniem wyobcowania przez młodzież a syndromem wypalenia szkolnego. Analizy przeprowadzono na grupie 84 uczniów z I i II klasy gimnazjum (47 kobiet i 37 mężczyzn) w wieku 12–15 lat (M wieku = 13,70 lat). Poziom poczucia alienacji mierzono inwentarzem PAI, do pomiaru syndromu wypalenia szkolnego wykorzystano skalę ESSBS. Uzyskane wyniki wskazały na istnienie różnic międzypłciowych w zakresie ogólnego poziom wypalenia szkolnego oraz brak takich różnic w odniesieniu do ogólnego poziomu wyobcowania. Wyniki wskazują ponadto na istotne relacje między wyalienowaniem a wypaleniem, przy czym siła związków była znacznie wyższa w grupie dziewcząt. Poziom wyobcowania wyjaśnia 31% wariancji wyniku ogólnego wypalenia szkolnego. Istotnymi predyktorami wypalenia były poczucie anomii i bezsensu.

W artykule poddano analizie deklaracje licealistów i studentów dotyczące ich uczestniczenia w obowiązkowych,z punktu widzenia Kościoła katolickiego, praktykach religijnych (w niedzielnej mszy oraz wielkanocnej spowiedzi i komunii). Podstawę tych analiz stanowią wyniki badań socjologicznych zrealizowanych przez autora w 2011 roku wśród licealistów w Kaliszu (456) i studentów w Poznaniu (426) za pomocą kwestionariusza ankiety. Badania wykazały, że większość respondentów w obu kategoriach uczestniczyła regularnie (42,2%) i nieregularnie (30,3%)w mszy niedzielnej (łącznie 72,5%), 23,8% nie uczestniczyło w tej mszy, a także w spowiedzi (42,8%) i komunii wielkanocnej (54,1%), zaś ponad dwie piąte zrezygnowały z tego uczestnictwa (45,7% i 41,4%). Religijność i obojętność religijna oddziałują istotnie na udział w opisanych praktykach religijnych. Respondenci głębokoreligijni uczestniczą najliczniej systematycznie, a obojętni religijnie najliczniej zaniedbują udział w praktykach obowiązkowych. W porównaniu ze wskaźnikami z wcześniejszych badań można dostrzec wzrost odsetka licealistów i studentów rezygnujących ze spełniania obowiązkowych praktyk religijnych (o 17,6%).

The article analyses the declarations of secondary-school and university students concerning their participation in obligatory – from the point of view of the Catholic Church – religious practices (Sunday Masses, Easter Confession and Communion). The analysis is based on the sociological research conducted in 2011 by the author of the article on 456 secondary-school students from Kalisz and 426 university students from Poznań who were asked to fill up a questionnaire. According to the results the majority of the respondents in both categories had participated in Sunday Masses (72.5%): of whom 42.2% regularly and 30.3% irregularly; 23.8% had not participated in the Mass, 42.8% had not participated in the Confession and 54.1% – in the Easter Communion, either, whereas over two fifths had failed to participate in both events (45.7% and 41.4%). Religiousness and religious indifference have a decisive impact on the participation in the religious practices described above. The respondents who are deeply religious participate regularly, and the ones who are religiously indifferent fail to do it. In comparison to the previous research the percentage of students who have stopped participating in the obligatory religious practices has increased by 17.6%.

Background. The decrease of active participation and students` reluctance to physical education have prompted research on students’ interests in physical activity. The implementation of physical education to curriculum in 2009 was to improve the existing situation: low attractiveness of physical education at school. The program requires physical education classes to be taught according to students’ interests. The aim of our study was to examine the interest in physical activity of the students from selected secondary schools in Wroclaw. Material and methods. The study comprised 197 students (112 girls and 85 boys) from 2 secondary schools in Wrocław. A diagnostic opinion poll and standardized survey questionnaire “Students’ interest in physical activity” were used. Results. The research proved that most of the students were interested in swimming, dancing and sport games. Among girls the most popular were dancing, swimming and skiing, while boys were interested in sport games, motor sports, swimming and martial arts. Conclusion. The results showed that physical education classes in secondary schools should include the most popular forms of students’ physical activity. Secondary schools should examine the students’ interests in physical activity and incorporate the most popular sport disciplines into physical activity classes.
