Author(s): Julia Kluzowicz / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2017

The article addresses the vital role of the contemporary art in the adulteducation in the area of tolerance in view of widely understood otherness. Non--formal education is one of the most important sources of knowledge acquisition byadults, and the contemporary art is a great example of such educational space. Theauthor of this article mainly focusing on the activities of the contemporary theatre,describes its three dimensions, in which non-formal education of adults towardstolerant attitudes occurs- it is the institutional dimension of the theatre, experimentaldimension as well as workshop-like theatrical forms. Tangible means are noticed inall these dimensions, which are used in the presence of a spectator by the contemporaryart. The author describes and categorizes those means, presenting the mechanismsof their educational impact.

"Pridodato u prevodu": nematerijalno kulturno nasleđe u prevođenju i primeni evropskih politikâ doživotnog obrazovanja u Republici Srbiji

Author(s): Ljubica Milosavljevic,Miloš Milenkovic / Language(s): Serbian / Publication Year: 0

Polazeći od noseće pretpostavke istraživačkog programa antropologije javnih i praktičnih politika, prema kojoj zakoni, strategije, vizije i planovi nisu "čisti" pravno-politički akti proceduralnog karaktera, već da "kriju" neke specifične, izabrane ili neintencionalne, antropologiji tradicionalno zanimljive institucionalne izbore iz obilja nematerijalnog kulturnog nasleđa (poput preskripcije identiteta ili standarda normalnosti), iznosimo preliminarne rezultate istraživanja primene evropskih politika doživotnog obrazovanja u Republici Srbiji. Preliminarna analiza "prevođenja" odnosno specifične glokalne kontekstualizacije, recepcije i instrumentalizacije pomenutih politikâ pokazuje da je na snazi praksa prenošenja, pravne i proceduralne transplantacije bez prilagođavanja kontekstu u kojem politikâ treba da bude primenjena. U slučaju neprilagođene politike doživotnog obrazovanja, izostanak prilagođavanja neophodnog da lokalna verzija a) odgovara međunarodno usaglašenim ciljevima i da istovremeno b) zaživi u praksi, objašnjava se na primerima diskrepancije lokalnih pojmova radnog vremena, neformalnog obrazovanja, "odgovarajućeg" životnog doba za obrazovanje s jedne, i pojmova originalno ugrađenih u tu politiku, s druge strane.

1898. 25 години от обесването на Левски: юбилей и преса

Author(s): Elena Getova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Publication Year: 0

The year 1898 marked the first jubilee of Vasil Levski – 25 years since his hanging. The dynamics of political processes in liberated Bulgaria at the time present a rather interesting and particularly complex picture against the background of which this event unfolded. The stereotype of jubilee celebrations was yet to consolidate and this particular occasion – the anniversary since the death of the Apostle of freedom – makes visible the deep political contradictions inherited from previous historical realities. The manifestations of these contradictions can be seen in the press in 1898.

A formális és nem formális felnőttkori tanulás térségi vetületei

Author(s): Ágnes Engler,Edina Márkus / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 2/2016

In the Hungarian literature the formal adult learning is usually defined as adult education in the school system which is completed at the primary, secondary or tertiary level of education. The non-formal learning is less well-defined; in general it means organized training by an organization. Both of the learning manners are characterized by institutional approach. Our study attempts to approach the adult education from the perspective of the participants. We examine the participation rates and details using national statistical data, comparing the formal and non-formal learning from territorial approach.

A New Approach for the Synthesis of P-Anisyl Ethyl Fumarate: a C-9154 Antibiotic Analogue

Author(s): Maulidan Firdaus,Ahmad Ainurofiq,Aulia Vellarani / Language(s): English / Issue: 6/2016

A simple, energy-efficient, and relatively quick synthetic procedure for the synthesis of p-anisyl ethyl fumarate from p-anisaldehyde has been carried out. The synthesis was started by solvent-free reduction of the aldehyde using sodium borohydrate. The second step was solvent-free condensation of the resulting alcohol with maleic anhydride to be followed by esterification of the resulting acid with ethanol in the presence of benzenesulfonic acid as the catalyst. Satisfactorily isolated yields (65-98%) were achieved confirming that the preparation of the C-9154 antibiotic analogue is possible in sustainable fashion.

A New Meaning of the Notion “Expansion of a Number”

Author(s): Rosen Nikolaev,Tanka Milkova,Radan Miryanov / Language(s): English / Issue: 6/2018

In the present paper a new meaning of the notion “expansion of a number” is proposed by the authors. Some interesting problems are considered with corresponding answers and summarized results. The idea is by means of only one digit (used several times) and different mathematical symbols, signs and operations, to express (to expand) other digits. The research could be used by students and teachers to generate new examples with educational purposes or to find alternative variants of the problems in the paper.

A NEW VISION OF ADULT LEARNING. CHECKLIST - MOTIVATIONAL FACTORS INVOLVED IN ADULT LEARNING

Author(s): Simona-Nicoleta NEAGU / Language(s): English / Issue: 02/2016

Learning depends on many internal and external conditions and it is not only a function of memory. Learning requires, above all, motivational, in other words, success in learning depends on factors that excitability and response to stimulus (involvement), the intensity of learning, availability for learning, learning awareness. Adults will be motivated in learning tasks when they perceive that the result will bring satisfaction to one or more of their basic human needs: security, acceptance, respect, power, achievement, self-esteem, etc. Some people are motivated by monetary reward, providing benefits and titles, recognition. These rewards are called extrinsic motivators; although they are important, but they do not meet all human needs. In fact, often they only lead to short-term results and behavioral changes. To ensure a long-term motivation, teachers need to create a learning climate so that all needs are met. Such a work atmosphere will lead to intrinsic motivation, so they will be motivated by their own internal mechanisms. At the end of the paper it is presented a research on a group of 24 subjects. This is a checklist on motivational factors involved in adult learning. It was administered online through google docs. Why teach adults? What is their motivation to learn? There are differences in the motivation of male and female subjects? A conclusion of this study: While women are motivated more by security, house, money, comfort, balance, men are motivated primarily by career development goals, social life. To the women they come only after being satisfied necessity security.

A Novel Approach for Kinetic Study of Alkaline Hydrolysis of Ethyl Acetate

Author(s): Mala Das Sharma,U.S.V.R. Hymavathi / Language(s): English / Issue: 5/2017

We present an innovative electromotive force (EMF) measurement technique to study the kinetic behavior during alkaline hydrolysis of ethyl acetate. The explicit feature of this research is the application of green chemistry ideas that are inherent in the experiment. Using the new approach, we find that the kinetic behavior of the reaction under study follows second order with an estimated rate constant value at 25°C to be 2.45 × 10-3 cm–3 min–1. This value is in excellent agreement with the conventional end-point neutralization titration method discussed previously in the literature. The novel EMF measurement technique is simple, fast, accurate and eco-friendly. Keeping in view of long-term sustainability of the ecosystem, we feel that there is an urgent need to switch over from conventional laboratory practices to green chemistry approaches. Further, the method discussed here may prove to be extremely useful for teachers, researchers and students who wish to carry out kinetic study of other systems.

A tanulás térformáló ereje

Author(s): Tamás Kozma / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 2/2016

One of the unexpected outcomes of the ‘expansion of education’ happened to be an “expansion of learning” as a bottom-up activity as opposed to the top-down activity of schooling, teaching and (formal) education. The related political statements (Freire 1970, Illich 1971) as well as official documents (e.g. Faure 1971, Delors 1996) reflect that this shift of emphasis was not only didactical rather a political development. Community learning in the newer sense means the network of those who started to learn in various ways in a social and territorial unit. The density and intensity of the learning networks may create new ideas and thus would be the nest of social creativity and innovations. Recent research (e.g. the Canadian CLI and the German Atlas of Learning) tried to describe the territorial emergence of ‘learning regions’ and ‘learning cities’. One of them (LeaRn) presents the regional distribution of the statistics of lifelong learning which completes the traditional ‘distribution of knowledge’ in Hungary and may contribute to a more equitable view of the different territories of the country.

Author(s): Wioletta Suszek-Maslowska / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 34/2016

Research objective: The aim of the article is to verify the legitimacy of using coaching methods in developing entrepreneurial attitudes of students and to present activities undertaken by members of the Academic Coaching Centre (ACC) in the Faculty of Entrepreneurship and Quality Science of Gdynia Maritime University. The ACC uses the method of coaching to create and develop entrepreneurial attitudes among students. The research problem and methods: The research problem focuses on answering the following question: To what extent and scope, in the opinion of students, does the ability to use coaching methods contribute to the development of their entrepreneurship? The study was conducted with the use of a questionnaire sent to all 68 ACC members in the years 2012-2015. The respondents were, therefore, a general population and the survey can be considered complete. The process of data analysis was based on the classic measure of central tendency – the arithmetic average and the rate structure. The process of argumentation: Undertaking any business activity requires proper preparation of legal, technical and specific competencies. The role of university education, among others, is to ensure education on the academic level, and, as a result, to prepare students for their future careers, often in the form of self-employment. How, therefore, can we encourage the development of academic entrepreneurship among students so that they can be ready to take up economic activities, in terms of knowledge, skills and specific competencies? Research results: The results of the study allow us to verify the research problem. 94% of respondents see tangible benefits of coaching in shaping the entrepreneurial mindset and the development of potential career related to business activities. Conclusions, innovations and recommendations: Taking into account the opinions of the respondents, the method of coaching can be recommended as an effective way of promoting development and of shaping entrepreneurial attitudes among students from different fields of studies.
