The purpose of this study is to determine the problems faced by provincial educational supervisors, who are working in the investigation group in Istanbul, during the process of disciplinary investigations. The study was conducted as a qualitative study using descriptive survey model. Among 154 provincial educational supervisors that worked in couples in 77 investigation groups under Istanbul Provincial Educational supervisors Directorate, 27 provincial educational supervisors volunteered in the study constituting the study group. Data collection tool developed by Özmen and Şahin (2010) consisting of 9 open-ended questions was used in the study. The data collected was evaluated using content analysis. The presented data was ordered based on the frequencies in subject fields and the outstanding views of the provincial educational supervisors were offered in detail. The findings demonstrated that problems were encountered during the conduction of the inspections due to the vagueness of the assignment orders and lack of information and documentation. It was determined that during the implementation of the investigation, the anonymity of the complainants providing false names, addresses and phone numbers; complaints mostly being based on hearsay, not substantiated by information and documentation, decreased the quality of work done. The most significant issues confronted by the supervisors were conflicting regulations, differences of opinion among supervisors, inconsistency in implementation due to issues pertaining to regulations.

Les tendances des décennies dernières dans la configuration, planification, modernisation et le déroulement des processus éducationnelles relève que les managers du système éducationnel, sous la pression de l’accélération et même l’unification des cycles de formation, perfectionnassions, perfectionnassions continues ont éliminé, au nom de la valeur pragmatique directe, utilitaire, la valeur essentielle de l’enseignement de tous les niveaux. Les exigences pragmatiques, centrées notamment sur l’instant, sur le direct, ont éloigné l’acte didactique de patrimoine culturel et cognitif, le seul support durable de la qualité éducationnelle, en faveur de l’immédiat de marché, en menant à la des-axiologie de plus en plus accentue de l’acte éducationnel. Ca mène à la sortie de la culture de l’instruction a la dépersonnalisation et a l’aliénation culturelle de l’école et même à la de-culturalisassions de la culture, au nom de la culture de marché. Mais la réalité montre qu’une formation excessive pragmatique, sans un support culturel solide, mène déficit axiologique irrécupérable, avec des effets dramatiques sur le long terme. De ca, le retour a l’axiologie dans la conception et élaboration des politiques et de stratégies éducationnelles devienne absolument nécessaire.

Japanese society used to have a very compact structure, based on a vertical hierarchy, where age was the primary basis for precedence. This concept of the importance of age and seniority over other value criteria was imported from China and has been prevalent in Japan for a long time. The Japanese company, where these principles applied as well, was the frame which provided the social life for the Japanese people. However, the bursting of the Japanese economic bubble in the early 1990-ies and the spiraling economic crisis which has affected Japan during the past twenty five years led to the disappearance of the Japanese company – kaisha – as an element of stability in Japanese society. The decline of Japanese companies in recent years, as well as a change in the structure of work due to the IT industry, have led to a destabilization of the idea of group and company in Japanese society and to an increase of individualistic values. Today, young people do not want to work in companies and do not identify any more with the traditional ethical values of the group that dominated Japanese society. Some voices point to a decline of traditional Japanese management based on ethical values, demanding from researchers a solution for this crisis.

A central place in the teaching-learning activity it holds educational communication because the teacher's role is not merely to have expertise and psycho-pedagogical knowledge, but also to convey this knowledge in a specific language for pupils / students to be addressed. Based on the language, like psychic process higher educational communication proposes the transfer of information from teacher to pupil / student, but also providing feedback from student to teacher

This study focuses on ethnic classification among secondary school teachers and Roma and non-Roma Hungarian secondary school students. It is expected that students living under better socio-economic circumstances are less likely to be classified as Roma by their classmates and teachers than students with a poorer socio-economic background. It is also assumed that students having more Roma friends are more likely to be classified as Roma than students having fewer Roma friends. First-wave data from a Hungarian panel study were analyzed. To test the hypotheses, cross-sectional logistic and fractional regression analyses were conducted in 17 classes (N=559). Results suggest that, consistent with the hypotheses, students from low-status families and students having more incoming friendship nominations from Roma classmates are more likely to be classified as Roma by their teachers and peers than high-status students and students having fewer Roma friends, even after controlling for the students’ ethnic self-identification.

As a result of the transformations of the higher education system, there began a search for objective measures, making it possible to compare different higher education institutions (in terms of their academic staff, research outcomes documented in publications, professional careers of university graduates and the like). It prompted the academic circles to reflect on the actions undertaken by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, in particular those pertaining to the National Qualification Framework. Academic disciplines differ from one another in terms of their research methods, which is why all attempts at a parametrization, implementation of quantitative indices to evaluate representatives of the humanities, mathematical algorithms or taxonomy as means enabling a “fair” assessment of all academic teachers regardless of the discipline they represent, appear to be worthless.

In the context of current education reforms carried out at various levels of education, it is important to ask about high quality and child friendly preschool education. As stated by Klim-Klimaszewska, “preschool education in Poland is the first stage of education system. Its main task is not only to help parents in mentoring and education of children, but first of all to stimulate their comprehensive development and school preparation” (Klim-Klimaszewska, 2012, p. 9). At the level of preschool education we observed multidimensional transformations that aimed at new approach to the theory and paradigms of education, which serves improvement of effectiveness of children’s education.

Entrepreneurial universities are important actors of the knowledge-based society and economy. On the one hand, they are source of highly qualified labour force, and on the other hand, they are generators and disseminators of knowledge that is crucial for innovation and competitiveness. This latter activity is not without precedents, however, the highly commercialized nature of that in form of licensing and spinning off attracted significant attention in the last decades, mainly owing to the examples of American high-technology areas like the Silicon Valley. To reap the potential benefits, science and technology policy makers took measures in many European countries, among others in Hungary, to enhance the entrepreneurial turn of universities. However, there are many factors that can undermine the success of the process. This study aims to investigate how realistic is it to expect widespread occurrence of the entrepreneurial university and spin-offs in Hungary. Based on scientific papers, analysis of legal and strategic documents we have to conclude that the process has been started, however, many factors hinder its perfect unfolding.

Introduction. The authors investigate the problem of migration flows management in the field of education, based on mathematical and economic modelling. The purpose of the article is to identify the techniques of efficient educational migration management as a part of migration balance. Materials and Methods. The authors utilized such research methods as questionnaires, expert evaluation, economic and mathematical modeling and tools of cognitive modeling in accordance with R. Axelrod’s methodology which is applied for the analysis of open systems containing hardly formalizable links between their components, taking into account the external influence. Results. The analysis of current trends in migration processes has been conducted in the context of globalization and educational migration as their integral part. The features of educational migration flows in the Omsk region and their impact on the migration balance have been revealed. The authors identify controlling factors having most significant influence on the migration balance as a resultant factor depending on the intensity of educational migration and the degree of their mutual influence, taking into account the impact of the external environment. A cognitive model of migration balance has been introduced. It became the basis for a series of simulation experiments with specialized software which allowed to predict the effect of changes in the influence of various controlling factors on the migration balance. Recommendations for an efficient mechanism of managing migration educational flows in the Omsk region have been proposed. Conclusions. In conclusion, the authors summarize the main techniques of efficient educational migration management as a part of migration balance. The study reveals the main control factors influencing the level of migration balance in the Omsk region. Among them are: better quality of higher education in Russia, geographic location, national discrimination and language barriers in the Republic of Kazakhstan, etc. A system of measures to manage educational migration flows as the most important components of the migration balance, taking into account the specifics of the Omsk Region, has been developed.

In the article, we present the results of the Slovene national study of three different assessments of mathematics for students in Grade 8 and Grade 13: the independent TIMSS or TIMSS Advanced outcomes, the national external examination scores and internal teacher’s marks. Grade 8 students who participated in TIMSS also took the national assessment (NA) one year after TIMSS assessment; TIMSS Advanced math students took the Matura examination from mathematics two months after the TIMSS Advanced assessments. The data on school marks from mathematics were collected with the nationally added questions to the international TIMSS and TIMSS Advanced questionnaires for students, together with the series of questions about the effort put into solving the test. One year later, the outcomes from TIMSS assessment, national examinations (Grade 9 and Grade 13) and school grades for each student were linked and the differences between boys and girls, attitudes toward mathematics and plans for future education were analysed. It was found that gender differences at scores from national exams as well as in school marks differ from gender differences in TIMSS and TIMSS Advanced achievement (i.e. Grade 13 students’ Matura results are slightly in favour of girls while TIMSS Advanced show better achievement for boys). Comparison of three outcomes reveal some characteristics of both national examinations and teachers’ marking not evident otherwise. Matura gives to the most able students proportionally less opportunity to demonstrate the highest cognitive level of knowledge. Boys who demonstrated the same knowledge in TIMSS as girls get lower national marks as girls, in exams and by teachers. Girls put less effort than boys in solving the TIMSS test which could help to explain the changing gender gap from TIMSS to the national examinations. In Grade 8, the marks and TIMSS scores also show inconsistencies on student level. They are differently associated with attitudes toward mathematics which can provide some ideas for improvement of low motivation for learning mathematics in Slovenia.

The present paper looks at the way in which political and scientific frameworks, as well as everyday life dynamics work to exclude people living with intellectual disability (ID) in Romania from political life and how these dynamics could be overcome through crafting communicative-dialogic pedagogical interventions geared at political inclusion. I argue that the political exclusion of people with ID is built into the formal political order, as well as doubled by a twofold infantilizing dynamic. On the one hand, the scientific and academic psycho-pedagogical discourse still operates with classifications that inscribe people with ID with chronological “normal” ages inferior to their biological age. Their subject position is thus “fixed” at an age below the voting limited. This move is seconded by the way in which (formerly) institutionalized people with ID are referred to as “children” (despite their fully adult ages) in a small (post)institutional town, as well as in other care settings that I have explored ethnographically. Finally, the paper explores the stepping stones of alternative interventions, built on a communicative-dialogic methodology for politically including people with ID that could work to overcome the infantilizing dynamics.

Multigrade schooling is a social reality in developing countries, and also an educational policy to enhance equal opportunities for children. According to various studies, multigrade teaching is an efficient alternative for conventional class organization, with multiple benefits for students. Generally, teacher training is limited in the degree to which it can prepare teachers for multigrade instruction. Starting from a recent initiative regarding teacher training in Romania, this paper sustains a realistic expectation for new curriculum writing, as a preliminary component of training program. This investigation, based on Need Analysis, reveals some teachers’ objectives and expectations, as well as motivational factors in order to participate at the training program. Other aspects, such as interest for a specific theme or instructional strategies were included in curriculum offer.

Education for the future responds to a current urge of rethinking education at the level of education systems in Europe and worldwide, taking into consideration the fact that they no longer meet the expectations of a rapidly evolving generation that transcends by intelligence and pragmatism what school offers them today. The education for the future must be dynamic, able to react quickly to the swift pace of change in everyday life. Thus, it is imperative to move from standardization to adaptation. The education for the future must be consistent with the individuality of each child. This requires a selective education meant to re-evaluate all the values. In this sense, in the school of the future the teacher cannot be replaced even by the most powerful computer in the world, because the teacher is the only one who can discover and stimulate the creative potential of children and young people respectively. The professions of the future must not be primarily dependent on advanced (top) technology development, but on exploring the creativity of each child in one area or another. Education through and for humans can be a new type of education that should take into account all aspects of the human being.

The targets of sustainable development are enormous and partly abstract. Higher education organizations in many countries have adopted many of the sustainable development goals. The aim of present study is to produce innovations for strategic planning in the field of sustainable development in higher education organization. The study problem is: How to boost Sustainable Development in Higher Education? Higher education consists of Universities and Universities of Applied Sciences in Finland. All findings of sustainable development were registered and classified to three classes based on the targets of Finland´s government, which are Ecological sustainability, Economic sustainability and Social and cultural sustainability. Universities have succeeded more concretely to introduce global targets of sustainable development. The findings were partly multidimensional. The number of findings in both organizations is biggest in the target Social and cultural sustainability. There was no finding of the value of equality, especially the equality between genders.

The aim of the present work is to indicate the qualitative proposals for changes to be made in the contemporary Polish schools. They oppose the “biologistic” approach to students, insisting on the need to fill them with knowledge in the form of a premade “pill”. By emphasising the freedom of students to make their own choices and their readiness for self-realisation, it promotes the acquisition of knowledge in an active, creative, problem-oriented and friendly way, picturing students as sovereigns of own development.
