Artificial intelligence is profoundly changing human social life, and the integration between artificial intelligence and law continues to deepen. Artificial intelligence has brought new impetus for legal education from three dimensions: providing new technologies, establishing new models, and shaping new paradigms. At present, it is still at the exploratory stage on how to position the goal of cultivating versatile professionals of “artificial intelligence + law,” how to improve the competence of teachers, and how to integrate the curriculum system. As one of the important contents of the paradigm transformation of “New Liberal Arts” education, legal education must also upgrade the concept of cultivating professionals, make full use of the support of big data, artificial intelligence, and other new technologies, clarify the goal of cultivating versatile professionals who “have the ability of legal thinking can use artificial intelligence technology,” bolster the ranks of teachers who not only “understand the technology” but also can “foster a new generation of people with sound values and ethics,” and construct the interdisciplinary, integrated AILE theoretical and practical curriculum systems, for the purpose of responding to the development trend of the transformation of liberal arts education in the new era, and providing intellectual support for cultivating professionals to meet the development needs of the country in the new era.

Ambivalence, ever-deepening ambivalence is currently a frequently repeated social diagnosis, huge possibilities of a mediated society, and at the same time a huge scale of human existential dramas, affecting all social groups, easy to observe, is the basic problem, the research problem of this article. Many people are looking for some „footholds” to show their life, to make life useful and to challenge our research, it should be to show this constructive direction. According to the author of this article, it is Christian personalism, with its calmness, without fanaticism, with its depth of pro-existence, implemented by many specific, welleducated and performing responsible functions, as well as very ordinary people who are specific positive and optimistic „case studies” can be very hopeful at the moment. Strengthening personalistic self-esteem as a person who is under the constant protection of God - the Person and in a deep personal relationship with another person - a person, is a powerful opportunity to save humanity. Personalist pro-social education is the educational hope of continually learning oneself through the gift of a person to another person in a relevant bilateral pro-existential flow of values and is education for a better and optimistic future.

The digital revolution is rapidly changing reality and brings new prevention challenges. In this context, an educational and preventive programme for pupils aged 9–10 has been prepared, entitled Common Steps in the Cyber World. Its aim is to shape attitudes and skills that promote the safe use of the Internet and other electronic media. The aim of the research project was to check whether and to what extent the implementation of this programme contributes to the expected changes in students’ knowledge, skills and psychosocial functioning, as well as in parents’ educational practices. The evaluation was conducted using a quasi-experimental design with purposively selected third grade pupils of elementary schools (N=424). The analysis of variance with repeated measures, Student’s t-test, or non-parametric tests were used to analyse results by type of variable. The results of the evaluation indicate a positive impact of the programme on participants’ knowledge of safe Internet use, and on some of their psychosocial skills, as well as on parental monitoring behaviours relating to new media. For these reasons, the programme can serve as a proven tool to help third-grade elementary school teachers in implementing media education tasks. The program can also help schools to support parents in effectively monitoring their children’s online activities.

A teacher has an accumulation of knowledge, skills, as well as insight and provides support, which plays a critical role in student learning and achievement. My aim was to identify the characteristics of those who teach and care for students with ASDs in different types of schools. I researched teachers working with SEN students: 97 from integrative schools, 64 from mainstream schools, and 64 special school teachers. The data was collected using a questionnaire, the Two-dimensional Emotional Intelligence Inventory (DINEMO) and the Social Competence Questionnaire. The findings highlight that the majority of support and general teachers, despite less than five years of experience, declare the least difficulties in working with high-functioning children with ASDs. Special school teachers do not perceive the most difficulties in working not only with high-functioning students but also with low-functioning children affected by ASDs. The data showed that most teachers have extensive experience in working with both groups of students.

This study revisits and extends a classic question in sociology and tests three competing hypotheses about the effects of intergenerational educational mobility on cultural tastes. By applying diagonal reference models to data from a nationally representative survey conducted in 2019, I show that mobile individuals come to resemble their nonmobile counterparts in their current educational level, which confirms the hypothesis of maximization. This is inconsistent with Bourdieu’s view that habitus is largely determined by primary socialisation in the parental home. I also show that upwardly and downwardly mobile individuals switch musical tastes of both the parental and current educational level.

This article attempts to define cultural education as a part of personality formation. The rank and importance of the achievements of Polish social pedagogy is discerned. By referring to its leading creators: Helena Radlińska, Stefania Sempołowska, Irena Sendlerowa, Janusz Korczak, and Henryk Jordan, the author shows that concern for socially marginalized groups has always been at the centre of pedagogical activities. At the same time, attention towards a legal culture was a distinct feature of social pedagogy and still remains a challenge for cultural education.

The article presents research on the social and civic competences in the core curricula of pre-school education and general education for primary and secondary schools implemented within the framework of educational reform and their assessment in light of the challenges of the Integrated Skills Strategy. For this purpose, an analysis is made of the Integrated Skills Strategy, a strategic document of state education policy, in terms of its provisions on social and civic competences in the general education system, in order to identify the challenges affecting the quality of human and social capital. This will then be contrasted with the core curricula content of general education in terms of social and civic competences. The study method is the analysis of existing data sources, i.e. the Integrated Skills Strategy and the core curricula for general education. The results of the analysis concern the knowledge, skills and attitudes included in the social and civic competences at all and individual stages of education, as well as the potential functions of education resulting from the provision of the general and specific requirements qualified as social and civic competences. Conclusions from the data analysis indicate a significant discrepancy between the provisions of the core curricula for general education concerning social and civic competences and the challenges of the Integrated Skills Strategy, which calls into question the possibility of achieving its aims.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a serious neurodevelopmental disorder manifested in both social and behavioural symptoms. Essential knowledge about ASD is the basis of effective interaction, treatment and therapy. School teachers are required to have adequate knowledge about ASD so that early intervention and effective school treatment can be provided. In the presented study, a Polish and Ukrainian version of a five-degree Likert rating scale on knowledge about autism was used. The scale, developed by an international ASD-EAST project team, contains statements about autism characteristics, therapy methods and teachers’ training needs. Randomly sampled participants were Polish (N=90) and Ukrainian (N=60) teachers from mainstream and inclusive schools. Results showed that teachers’ knowledge as well as teachers’ training needs differed depending on the country of origin. Ukrainian teachers compared to Polish significantly more often reported the need to participate in additional training, however, they were much less willing to work under supervision.

The concept of special educational needs has emerged in both global and national educational discourse to alert educators to the necessity of providing special support to some students. Without such support, these students may have difficulties with learning or behaving, making psychological-educational support – which in principle should be available to every student – particularly important in their case. Special educational needs (SEN) are defined as those children who, because of learning difficulties, need special conditions, methods, programmes, aids, communication methods, etc.32 It is a concept that can be called classical because it comes from the author who is credited with introducing the term. A child with SEN is a child that requires special teaching and educational interventions. However, not all the different needs are equally visible to teachers. The text discusses the subject of hearing children of deaf mother/father, known as KODA (Kids of Deaf Adults), who go beyond the traditionally understood catalog of students with SEN.

The process of hearing children growing up in families with deaf parents is little known despite its specificity. The developmental context for children is the bicultural and bilingual nature of their families, the disability of their parents, and the lack of an adequate support system for deaf parenting. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between the parental attitudes of deaf parents and the family roles undertaken by their hearing children. Two questionnaires were used in the study: Questionnaire for the Retrospective Evaluation of Parental Attitudes (KPR - Roc) by Mieczysław Plopa (2008) and the Questionnaire of Family Roles (KRR) by Andrzej Margasiński (2018). The analysis of the results showed that when deaf parents were overly demanding or inconsistent, their hearing children were more likely to adopt the role of a scapegoat or lost child.

Normal anatomy classes are a major element of the curriculum in dentistry studies. The anatomy of cranial nerves is one of the aspects of particular importance for future dentists. The transfer of knowledge regarding the anatomy and topography of cranial nerve nuclei is very difficult since the structures cannot be presented using an anatomical specimen. An anatomical brain stem model was developed by our team as a teaching aid for students studying the anatomy of cranial nerve nuclei. A survey to evaluate the usefulness of this model was conducted in a group of 100 first-year dentistry students. As shown by the study, classic anatomical models may provide important pillars when teaching anatomy to dentistry students.

Investing is a process of a crucial importance in the field of economics, as it concerns the possibility of increasing existing money capital. However, this process is closely related to the need of performing some preliminary calculations and analysis in order to select the best investment option. There are some mathematical tools that allow determination of optimal option for investing a certain amount of money but it must be understood and applied correctly in order to receive expected results. Some aspects of these mathematical tools are discussed in the present paper, accenting not only on the presentation of the right approach for optimal investment choices but also on the methodology of its application.
