The Trouble with Diversifying the Faculty

Author(s): Walter Benn Michaels / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2012

This article presents the problem of politics of di erence realized within the American educational system, with a special emphasis on higher education. This politics is according to the author based on putting in the center of all educational actions the idea of diversity, as well in creating academic institutions. This key idea becomes in the American context a special significance, regarding the fact that the American society is based on ideology that celebrates multiculturalism and diversity as such. This article presents also an important for the contemporary situation in the United States problem of combining cultural and ethnic diversity on the economical category of di erence between various classes. Furthermore, it seems to be more significant in the light of the economic crisis in recent years that affected also American education in the same extent.

"Bermanov dosje", moje pripombe

Author(s): Janko Pleterski / Language(s): Slovenian / Issue: 1/2001

Če vzamemo v roke spomine akademika profesorja dr. Aleksandra Bajta, vidimo, da opisujejo, vsaj v delu, kjer zadevajo njegovo bivanje v Italiji od jeseni 1943 in v prvih mesecih 1944, pričakovano neobičajne doživljaje. Nakazal jih je namreč že v svoji biografiji univerzitetnega učitelja, objavljeni v letu 1957.2 V primerjavi s tistim, kar je o svojem pohajanju po italijanskih gričih napisal takrat, je veličanje sicer nekoliko skromnejše, toda opisi so vzlic temu zanimivi in lepo berljivi. Ni šlo za neuspešne diverzantske podvige v ta namen posebej zbrane skupine, ampak za veliko manjše ambicije, četudi ne za manj tvegane in manj mučne doživljaje. Mladi Aleksander Bajt takrat iz Ljubljane ni "emigriral" pred Nemci, pač pa zato, ker se je bal, da bi ga v domačih hribih partizani kar umorili, čeprav je bil le manj pomemben član Narodne legije.

"UNIWERSYTET JEST NAJWAŻNIEJSZY”. Stefana Sawickiego idea katolickiej universitas studiorum

Author(s): Henryk Duda / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2017

The article discusses the publications by Stefan Sawicki (a scholar born in 1927) on the idea of the Catholic university. According to Sawicki, the most important issue in this fi eld is the relation between science and faith (ratio et fides), and the resulting question about the university’s identity, in particular about the marks of a Catholic university. The other issues, such as procedures of giving names to Catholic universities, their research fi elds, the proper size of a Catholic university, and the balance between the university’s openness to ‘others’ and its guarding its identity, stem directly from this crucial issue. While Stefan Sawicki’s writings will not provide a ready-made answer to the question of how a Catholic university should be structured or how it should function at a given time in history, they may inspire a “reflection and debate on what the university of this type should (and can) be like today, in particular in modernday Poland” (Stefan Sawicki, On the Catholic University, Lublin: Towarzystwo Naukowe KUL, 2012, 8). Sawicki adds: “It might be commendable not to limit the debate in question to the general formulas of the Catholicity of a university, but rather to point how the Catholicity in question should be implemented in the academic practice” (ibidem). The questions raised by Sawicki pertain to an issue which cannot be disregarded also outside the scope of his work.

(Nie)moce kształcenia historycznego w Polsce. Głos w dyskusji

Author(s): Arnold Kłonczyński / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2015

There is an ongoing discussion on the crisis of humanistic education at universities. The causes of this phenomenon are considered to be the Bologna system introduced several years ago, the low qualifications of candidates, the introduction of the educational effects described by the National Qualifications Frameworks as well as the system of financing higher education institutions. One should remember in this discussion about the arguments for the maintenance of the Bologna system, which gives an opportunity to extend the offers of universities and to modify them. The academic community protests against the attempt to surrender the education to the discipline of the labour market. The commercialization of education is clearly visible in the presently used dehumanised terminology, in which universities ‘render educational services’ and education has become a service (production). The proposed solutions, e.g. the establishment of so-called ‘flagship universities’, may divide the academic community and lead to the crisis that will overshadow the present one.

(Self) Evaluation of Knowledge in Students’ Population in Higher Education in Macedonia

Author(s): Lupco Kevereski / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Students’ assessment, in general, observed through a socio-historical prism, has always beentreatedas an extremely sensitive, current, significant, indicative and continuously present phenomenon. In that respect, what is especially relevant is that for a very long time docimological procedures and their effects have been focused on following only the primary and secondary schools’ student population and they were expected to be an integral part of the teachers’ professional practice. But, when the first book on evaluation in higher education appeared in the UK some 30 years ago, there were some fierce reactions to it. Thus, Hounsell (2003) points out that this topic has become so controversial, frightening and even offensive for many university professors. However, today it is considered that a good practitioner is the one who reviews his own practice and who evaluates the teaching process from the learners’ perspective (Brown, Fry & Marshall, 2003). Therefore, the underlying motivation for conducting this research was the fundamental issue of students’ self-evaluation of their achievements.The main objective of this study is to determine whether there is compatibility of the students’ self-assessment of their achievements with the professors’ evaluation of students’ achievements. To that end, we applied a transparent procedure for collecting information involving a self-evaluation sheet and an interview technique in the context of the following university courses: general psychology, developmental psychology and social psychology. The preliminary results point to a high percentage of correspondence betweenthe students and professor’s evaluation. The expected outcome of this research is to promote this type of evaluation approach and to turn it into a common practice in higher education as it can contribute greatly to amplifying the quality of students’ self-assessment on the one hand, and the teachers’ interest in bettering the existing modes of students’ evaluation on the other hand.

(Un)professionalisation or (Re)professionalisation of the Academic in the Brave New World?

Author(s): Maria Jose Sa,Carlos Miguel Ferreira,Sandro Serpa / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2019

In this article, we seek to provide an answer to the following research question: Is the academic profession, as a profession, going through a process of increasing proletarianisation, which is influenced by the new mission that is being implemented in universities (in a broad sense), in the sense of un-professionalisation, or are there new conditions for academics’ re-professionalisation experienced as a challenge? A meta-analysis of publications that focus directly on this topic was carried out, specifically through a conceptual analysis of the most recent literature addressing this topic. It is concluded that, in general, and notwithstanding institutional, local, regional, national and international specificities, there is some degree of academic’s un-professionalisation resulting from an increase in the functions ascribed to him/her by the political dimension that, in a context of increasing instability and control of his/her activity through the quantity and intensity of the functions to be carried out, may call into question academic autonomy, a basic foundation of the University. However, and concurrently with this un-professionalisation, there is a new context which could, under certain conditions, foster the enormous challenge of re-professionalisation (limited and under new conditions). As an implication of this work, there is a need to rethink this situation, which, if continued and deepened, will call into question the academic profession in some of its central dimensions, which may jeopardise the future sustainable development of our societies.

10. VÝROČIE ZALOŽENIA ÚSTAVU SV. CYRILA A METODA V PARTIZÁNSKOM

Author(s): Michal VALACH / Language(s): Slovak,English / Issue: Suppl./2018

And years go by ...... Inside, people can stop in the world, but what they never stop is time. Time is the river of our life. It is day by day, year after year, and we sometimes get to see it flowing in order to realize a certain milestone in our lives. In this period, we recall the milestone of ten years of establishment of a detached workplace of the University of Health and Social Work, Elizabeth, based in Bratislava in Partizánske, covered with two patrons, namely St. Cyril and Method. This milestone was one of the most important events in the district of Partizánske, as well as in the district itself. I have the honor to honor you today for the occasion of the XIV. Scientific Conference with International Participation under the title "Health and Social Issues of the Regions in the 21st Century" to familiarize themselves with the very origins and ten - year history of our institute. It all began with the idea of establishing a Partizan college which, by its origins, moved the city and gave it credit to the university city.

1922–1940 m. universitetas Lietuvoje, kaip pilietinės visuomenės židinys

Author(s): Mantas Simanavičius / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 15/2015

The University of Lithuania (Vytautas Magnus), which was established during the first independent Republic of Lithuania and operated during the interwar period, has already attracted the attention of many historians, who have analysed its activities. Still, the research on the University from the perspective of civil society is scarce. The present article attempts to discuss and assess the role of the University and its academic community in the society and in the relationship with the government in the context of civil activity. The civil activity of the University or civil activity at the University is especially important, taking into consideration its autonomy and its use when the country changed from democracy to an authoritarian regime and consolidated it.In the present article, the processes related to civil society at the University are analysed from several perspectives: the relationship between the University and society; autonomy maintenance; the contribution and influence of the pedagogical staff; the importance of the University rector; the influence of students and their organizations, especially Students’ Representatives; and the internationality of teachers and students. The relationship with the government and its policy is integrated into different historical research as a horizontal measure. The abovementioned aspects of historical research are the components of the natural and organic activity of the University. Thus, the article aims at showing the university as the source of civil society activity.

1977: rok, który nigdy nie jest pamiętany

Author(s): Claire Fontaine / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 03/2015

The article analyses dramatic divergences in events and the field socioaesthetics through a new perspective on the legacy of the Italian student revolts in 1977, when it was necessary to deal with theoretical demands for innovation and truth by means of specific practices. The Bologna Uprising was an extremely important historical precedent in the fight for autonomy, both in Europe and beyond. The ways of being that were disseminated in the contested space of capital accumulation in the 1970s in Italy remind us that we should not commemorate 1977 as an extraordinary event, because its reverberation has not yet become history. The intensivity of the forms of life from Bologna remain with us, clearly demonstrating the validity and value of autonomy.

20 години паричен съвет в България - ефект върху макроикономическото състояние на страната и бъдещи перспективи

Author(s): Elena Spasova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 1/2017

The currency board system that has been introduced and sustained in Bulgaria since 1997 is assessed on the basis of its impact on the macroeconomic conditions in the country. The assessment is founded on the theoretical advancements on the topic and on the empirical observations on the role of the currency board in Bulgaria when macroeconomic crises and external shocks occur. The conclusions for the procyclical and conservative nature of the system are the basis of development of three scenarios for the future of the currency board in Bulgaria – a realistic, an optimistic and a pessimistic one. The main prerequisites for their implementation are outlined. The associated risks are stated.
