This article addresses the issues involved in monitoring the teaching and learning of science in a changing world. It examines the development of cross-cultural studies of educational achievement, particularly in the field of science, including the theoretical basis of the studies and the models advanced and used in evaluation and more recently in the monitoring of change over time. In addition ten specific issues are identified for investigation into the critical problems facing learning and teaching of science across the world at the beginning of the twenty-first century with particular reference to the PISA studies being conducted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Learning under an adult’s supervision is one of the essential conditions for child development. For the benefit of a child’s innate liveliness and his spontaneous discovery of the world, and in order to promote individuality, there is a call for new teaching methods at schools and nursery schools. This, however, entails boards of competent teachers with the necessary knowlege and skills at enhancing their pupils’ creativity and inventivess. Polish Foundation of Children and Teenagers in Warsaw, given assistance by Bernard Van Leer Foundation, has already prepared and carried out an educational programme intended for ore-school teaching circles. The programme propagated new methods of teaching children aged from 3 to 6. The presented article shows the programme’s evaluation research conducted on children. The research tried to provide an answer to the following question: do heightened competence of pre-school teachers’ and implementation of the new programme for working with children affect children’s development. The subject of analysis heavily relied on the children-made works, such sa: a picture of a human being, a picture on a freely-chosen subject and a picture Urban-Jellen’s Creative Thinking Test. In the research procedure both model and inspection nursery schools were taken into account. In the model nursery schools the teachers participated in the educational programme, and, supposedly, implemented the new programme for working with children. In the inspected nursery schools the teachers worked under traditional guidelines for teaching. Research conducted in 1997 focused on 120 children from Lublin, Kielce and Ło´dz´: 60 from model institutions and 60 from the inspection ones (before teachers’ training). The research was subsequently continued in the consecutive years and finishhed up in 1999. Consequently, a very rich, empirical material was collected, comprising qualitative analyses of the assembled children’s works. In order to objectify the results, homogeneous (equal for all children) research conditions were closely followed, whereas the analyses (according to carefully worked out criteria) were all done by the author herself. Detailed analysis of the children-made works showed that there are differences between the children from model nursery schools and the inspection ones, in reference to constructing subject-based pictures. Similarly, the results of Creative Thinking Test significantly differed in the researched groups. In both cases the differences proved beneficial to the model schools children. Hence, the heightening of pre-school teachers’ level of competence and implementation of the new programme radically affect child development.

Contribution involves two methods of undertaking a comprehensive evaluation, respectively bankruptcy models. The first of these is Altman’s index that was constructed in the second half of the 60 years on the basis of statistical examination of the quantities and ratios of financial analysis and their relation to the possibility of bankruptcy. The second originated in their modifications since the nineties of the twentieth in the Czech Republic. Both indicators are similar. Many times, analyses are used side by side and sometimes offer an entirely different result. Article links to a description of financial ratios under various methods, describes their common denominator and vice versa points to significant differences in investigational methods. The practical part also briefly deals with a different or on the contrary as well as consistent results for specific businesses.

The hospitality industry is classified as the most fundamental tourism service. As far as the dynamic development of the internet and its constantly growing number of its users are concerned, it seems natural for tourism managers and hoteliers to reach for this particular medium to present their offers and to sell them. Nowadays, the most significant issue for the entire hospitality industry is the broad scope of the global and international booking portals which are the contemporary distribution channels for tourism products and services worldwide. The aim of the following article is to assess the usability and functionality of four booking portals acclaimed on the Polish market (booking.com, hrs.com, hotels.com and hotel.info) with regard to the consumer’s (tourist’s) point of view and an evaluation of the suitability of this particular source of data for academic research through applying this method to hotels located in five Polish metropolises (Warsaw, Kraków, Łódź, Wrocław and Poznań).

The phenomenon of democracy may be considered either as some desired political project or some kind of political reality. This paper focuses on normative and empirical theories of democracy. They are both essential in the research of it. The main task of normative theories is to deliver the vision of political system based on such values as liberty, equality and dignity of individuals, protecting civil and political freedoms, and making the government accountable to the citizens. Empirical theories describe and explain the mechanisms of such a systems. Without normative theories we lack the knowledge about how should democracy function. Without empirical theories we do not know how and why does it really work. What we really need in order to understand democracy is the uniting of both approaches.

Based on a sample of comments gleaned from the Onet.pl portal, the author discusses positive and negative evaluations (axiological charge) found in internet language, and she examines some of the language devices used in such evaluations. In internet comments, it is definitely negative evaluation that prevails, and the positive evaluation of a single object creates only a background for a negative object. Samples which encode aggression and insults can also be found in the data. In the material under inspection, Internet users mploy all sorts of language devices used in an evaluative function; most of them are illustrative of economic, social and ethical values. Along with these values, emotions are also frequently expressed. Internet users resort to all sorts of language devices to signal evaluative functions, a number of them are marked and illustrate a colloquial style.

There has been a long-standing discussion in Poland about the efficient and effective functioning of the social welfare and integration system. The transformations it has been undergoing for years in connection with the possibilities of benefiting from the EU funds and as a results of its attempted reforms and rationalisation demonstrate that the issue of professionalising the social worker profession is actually of little interest to anybody, despite the fact that this is a regulated profession with quite a strong presence in the current scientific discourse. If performed in a professional manner, methodical social work is a very important tool which may significantly contribute to increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of social interventions, thereby improving the quality of the public sphere in this segment. In this context, an important role is played by evaluation, understood as analysing the value of a specific action – with reference to social projects and programmes. Of particular importance here is the latest generation evaluation, which makes use of action research, thereby increasing the chances to raise the level of social participation and simultaneously reduce the problem of social exclusion. On the other hand, it is necessary to note the crucial role that evaluation may play in reinforcing and sustaining the professional identity of social workers, especially in the face of the constant changes and reforms of the social welfare system.

The article evaluates public and private information and consulting services provided to small and medium-sized enterprises in Poland. The author uses methods furnished by new institutional economics and the theory of market inefficiency. Gancarczyk compares an experimental group covered by public assistance against a control group made up of companies with similar features and using commercial information and consulting services. The comparison was made according to criteria such as accuracy, efficiency, usefulness, reliability and effectiveness. The study reveals that public authorities should continue providing free information and consulting services, the author says, because there are continued market inefficiencies, including an insufficient supply of consulting services and a strong asymmetry in access to information. The market inefficiencies in question call for further public assistance in this area, Gancarczyk adds. The analysis of the criteria of accuracy, efficiency, usefulness, reliability and effectiveness from the perspective of alternative costs confirms that free public services are more reliable than comparable services offered by private service providers, while the evaluation of effectiveness and usefulness for both groups was similar. On the other hand, public service providers displayed lower efficiency, Gancarczyk says.

The main research problem of this article is whether the political message, that was addressed to voters in the presidential election from 2015, was based on the results of the evaluations or of the socio-economic researches were conducted by the research centers. The political views and slogans, which were presented by the candidates for the President of Poland during the campaign in 2015, were analyzed to answer the main research problem. The theoretical framework of the evaluation and the process of evaluation researches on the example of the managing authority of the operational program were described in the first part of this article. The European experience of utilization the evaluation results by the political class and the analysis of the presidential campaign from 2015 in reference of constructing political arguments with the results of the evaluation were presented in the second part. The author concludes that the results of the evaluation were marginally used during the campaign. The political arguments, that were used by candidates for the President of Poland, were mostly limited to recall simple figures, expert and public opinion, although in some cases the politics referenced to the results of the studies and reports. However, it is impossible to conclude if one of these studies was an evaluation research.

From the very beginning of his work in the field of aesthetics, Stefan Morawski, the outstanding Polish theorist, dedicated much attention to the issue of axiological judgments. The proper subject matter of aesthetics, he postulated, is determined by the field’s characteristic axiology, which, in turn, looks to art for its empirical basis and confirmation. The second half of the article aims to reconstruct key ideas scattered around Stefan Morawski’s many publications. Issues such as evaluation criteria and the hierarchy of the works of art are discussed. The article attempts to present a critical assessment of Morawski’s theoretical

A new system of school evaluation was implemented in Poland in 2009. It consists of two elements: self-evaluation (conducted by teams of teachers) and external evaluation (conducted by inspectors trained in evaluation). This way of evaluation reflects not only autonomous and engaged evaluation but also dissociated and unbiased external evaluation. Its final product – a report written by a team of inspectors – is a mixture of voices and interests analysed through several standards imposed by the state. On the theoretical level we treat the school inspections system in a way similar to Harold Garfinkel’s famous analysis of hospital documentation as a consequence of negotiation between a patient and a hospital (2007). We had to understand above all the discursive level of the text to be able to highlight different layers of this re-interpreted auto-interpretation, in particular a differentiation of voices of diverse, and often conflicted groups (teachers, students and their parents and establishing entities). Then we paid attention to the future. For the future it is possible to consider three different scenarios (based on multidimensional analysis) that can be described through the metaphors of guard, guide and partner. We then tested these three models using data gathered in the external evaluation and post-evaluation.

Innovations play the key role in the today's globalized world economy. This is a fact which also the European Union is aware of. Therefore, it is concerned with the innovation support. And individual national economies focus on the characteristics that influence their innovation potential. Several various methods are used for the evaluation of the innovation efficiency, for example the Summary Innovation Index (SII), by the means of which the individual countries are assessed through 25 indicators. This contribution aims to find out which of the indicators involved in the method are available, so that this method could be used for the evaluation of the innovation efficiency of the individual regions at the level of NUTS3. For this purpose, the Regional Innovation Index (RII) has been defined and it uses 16 indicators, the same as or similar to the original methodology, to compare the regions of the Czech Republic. RII maintains the original weight ratio of innovation input and output dimensions. RII is used as a base for the creation of regional typology, which divides the regions into those considerably above average, those above average, the average ones, those below average and those considerably below average. Moreover, the results are compared with the conclusions of another study, which used a simpler methodology. This makes us able to draw final conclusions and also to define bases for further research.

The theme of the paper is to reveal how well-prepared pre-service teachers think they are. It aims at reviewing the 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 cohorts studying for a BA in TEFL at a university by examining the impact and the effectiveness of four- -year pre-service English education in a Chinese university context, and what needs to be improved and maintained from the perspective of trainees. Questionnaires were used, followed by semi-structured interviews. The questionnaires were completed by 300 participants, 200 of whom were then randomly chosen as interviewees. Despite finding some inconsistency in the four-year BA TEFL program, the result obtained from investigation of the cohort of student teachers is still satisfying.
