Studentų - būsimųjų pedagogų požiūrio į etninę muziką kaitos ypatumai

Author(s): Rasa Jautakytė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 11/2003

The article deal with the change of students attitude to ethnic music during a decade (1992-2002). The main role in bringing ethnic culture back to schools is played by the teacher and this role makes great demands on the teacher's personality. Our longtime observations proved that it is really important for students - prospective teachers to understand the significance of ethnic music for the development of the child and the child's national self-consciousness. Analysis of the results of our experiment in 1992 and 2002 years brings us to the conclusion that an inadequate interest of students to ethnic music is determined by their scanty and episodic knowledge of national music, by their poor knowledge of the volume of folk songs.

Author(s): Nusreta Kepeš / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 19/2021

Healthy emotional and social development in childhood is an important predictor of an individual’s future academic success. Unfortunately, more than 20% of children have a developmental problem that occurs as a result of exposure to screen media. This research examines the potential risks of screen media among children, which are reflected in children’s speech, emotions, and socially competent behavior. The sample consisted of N=691 children aged 3-7 years. For this research purpose we used an empirical non-experimental method and a survey technique by means of a semi-structured questionnaire. The evidence of an association between screen time, on the one hand, and attentional difficulties, speech and socio-emotional reactions, on the other, is statistically significant only when the exposure is extremely high, i.e., exceeding three hours a day.

Author(s): Dominika Doktorova,Dominika Kochanová / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2021

The study aims to find out the connection between perfectionists according to Parker (1997), Doktorová & Piteková, (2020a) namely functional, dysfunctional perfectionists and non-perfectionists, academic procrastination, and age in female students. Two questionnaires were used during the research, namely the Frost's Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (F-MPS) and the Procrastination Scale for Student population (PSS), which we administered to the research sample (N = 344) in the age span of 18 to 25. Through the non-hierarchical cluster analysis (k-means) we identified three types of perfectionists in the sample. The comparison of three types of perfectionism with academic procrastination showed statistically significant differences in the following way: the dysfunctional perfectionists achieved the highest score on the scale of academic procrastination compared with functional perfectionists and non-perfectionists. Furthermore, we did not identify statistically significant differences between typology of perfectionism and age.

This paper aims to determine the level of motivation in the case of both professional and amateur female soccer players in Romania. We have designed and administered a motivation questionnare (“Assessing motivation for soccer practice”) to a sample of 75 female subjects, comprising 25 professional and 50 amateur soccer players in the Romanian league. The results obtained for the general score of the questionnaire show no relevant differences between the experimental group and the control group (p > 0,05). However, the analysis of the scores for each motivational dimension shows that the experimental group obtained higher values for the dimensions „Self esteem” and „Necessity of movement” (p < 0,01). No relevant differences between the two groups were visible for the dimensions “Affiliation need” and “Combativeness; aggressivity”. The control group scored better than the experimental group for the dimension “Competition interest”. The analysis of the results indicates that, no matter which group they belong to, the players present a high level of motivation for soccer practice.

Miłość i poezja w Elegii 2.30 Sekstusa Propercjusza

Author(s): Antoni Bobrowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2021

Elegy 2.30 has been considered to be one of Propertius’ most difficult poems due to its complicated sequence of thought and distant associations noticeable in the discourse, which was often the reason for dividing the text into two separate poems. The article is an interpretative proposal aimed at demonstrating the integrity of 2.30, which was obtained by the poet by combining the concept of love with the concept of love poetry, as well as by using subtly constructed mythological references.

Relationships between developmental feedback, intrinsic motivation, and creative personality and performance

Author(s): Weilin Su,Bei Lyu,Manuel London / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

Developmental feedback can motivate employees to take chances and be more creative, at least for employees who interpret feedback as support for new ideas. Drawing on cognitive evaluation theory, we examined relationships between developmental feedback, intrinsic motivation, creative personality (e.g., people who describe themselves as inventive and confident rather than cautious and conservative), and creative performance. We predicted that developmental feedback would contribute to employees’ intrinsic motivation and further improve their creative performance, especially those who were high in creative personality. The sample included 215 Chinese employees and their direct supervisors from a big science and technology corporation in Beijing, China. Employees’ perceptions of developmental feedback from their supervisor were positively related to employees’ ratings of their intrinsic motivation and supervisors’ ratings of employees’ creative performance. Also, intrinsic motivation of employees mediated the relationship between developmental feedback and their creative performance. These relationships were stronger for employees with a highly creative personality.

Impact of emotional vulnerabilities on the students’ engagement in online courses during the lockdown period in SARS-COV2 pandemic crisis

Author(s): Carmen Costea-Bărluțiu,Adrian Roşan,Raluca Matei / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

Our study investigated the association between the severity of impact of the SARS-COV2 pandemic crisis, the level of vulnerability (depression, anxiety, anger-hostility and somatic symptoms), emotional regulation (cognitive reappraisal and emotional suppression) and the level of engagement in online courses at the beginning of the SARS-COV2 crisis, during the lockdown period. A number of 931 participants, students in various Romanian universities, completed measures for the impact of events, emotional symptoms, emotional regulation and engagement in online course. The correlations show that the impact of the pandemic as traumatic event was associated with higher levels of vulnerability to psychopathology in our sample but did not have a highly negative impact on student engagement in online education. In turn, higher severity of psychopathological symptoms, especially hostility, was associated with lower engagement. Emotional regulation strategies had only a small effect on both vulnerability to psychopathology and trauma effects, with cognitive reappraisal being associated with higher engagement in online education.

Forming Special Education Teachers during the Pandemic: New Teachers’ Sense of Self Efficacy

Author(s): Gabriela Walker,Kathleen Klinger,Nilsa Thorsos / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

This paper examines special education new-teacher perceptions about the impact of shifting from teaching children with disabilities in person to a remote learning delivery. The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted formal education and shifted special education service delivery to a ‘remote modality’. Health restrictions and community lockdowns literally pushed teachers into online delivery systems beyond their own learning experiences and into their students’ homes. The research methodology employed is a mixed methodology approach, where the responses from a six-open-question survey were coded and quantified. Based on these results, administrators and policy makers have to consider changes to accommodate this paradigm shift to better serve students with disabilities, a matter of educational equity and social justice.

The Role of Facial Attractiveness and Gender on Change Detection and Recognition Memory

Author(s): Özlem Ertan-Kaya / Language(s): English Issue: 21/2021

This study aimed to investigate the effect of automatic attentional bias on change detection and recognition memory performance. In this context, attractive faces, which have priority in attention selection, were used as stimuli. The data of 110 participants were analyzed (54 females, 56 males, Mage = 20.87 ± 1.80). As a result, there was a significant effect of attractiveness [F(2.73, 295.16) = 37.33, p < .001, ƞp 2 = .26] and model gender [F(1, 108) = 6.47, p < .05, ƞp 2 = .06] on change detection performance. Accordingly, the fastest performance is when only the target was an attractive female; the slowest performance was observed when only the distractors were attractive female. On the other hand, the data of 94 participants (46 females, 48 males, Mage = 21.05 ± 1.95) were analyzed for the recognition memory. Accordingly, low memory performance was generally observed. Memory sensitivity was significantly lower for attractive faces (-.31) than average-looking ones (.59). Besides, bias to respond “old” for attractive faces were higher than average-looking faces for both model genders. Therefore, the findings suggest that the decision criterion was more liberal for attractive faces (for females -.06, for males -.46) than average faces (for females .15, for males .33). On the other hand, there was no significant effect of the participant gender on both attention and memory tasks (p > .05). The study is the first known change detection and recognition memory study to examine participant gender, model gender, and attractiveness together. The limitations of the study and suggestions for future studies are handled in the discussion section.

Okul Çağındaki Çocukların Ahlaka İlişkin Gündelik Kavramsallaştırmaları: Keşifsel Bir İnceleme

Author(s): Mehmet Karasu,Bahar Aykaç,Canan Çelikadam,Sercan Balım,Büşra Aktaş,Sevim Cesur / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 21/2021

This study aimed to examine the naturalistic moral conceptualizations of school aged children with an exploratory investigation, notwithstanding any theoretical background. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 193 primary and secondary school students (Age range: 7-15 years) from different regions and cities in Turkey. Opencoded content analysis has been used to reveal the most frequent conceptualizations about being a good or bad child. Chi-Square analyses have been conducted to explore if any differences were evident among school periods (primary vs. secondary grades) and gender. The findings showed that children expressed their conceptualizations about being a good child through the concepts of helping others, helping family members, sharing, not saying bad words, listening to advice, respecting nature, being reliable, tolerant, and compassionate person. Thus, respect, benevolence, and being virtuous were essential moral conceptualizations. Similarly, concepts about maintaining healthy relationships were also evident for the conceptualizations of a bad child: physical harm, bullying, property damage, saying bad words, disobedience, and being disrespectful toward parents. Additionally, chi-square results demonstrated that being disrespectful was an important concept to describe the characteristics of a bad child, for boys rather than girls. Results mostly indicate that school aged children construct morality within the perspective of relationship regulation and social order.

O sensowności uczuć. Dziedzictwo myśli Edyty Stein

Author(s): Piotr Janik / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2020

Stein’s theory of empathy lies at the intersection of the phenomenological findings of E. Husserl and M. Scheler. By presenting the issue of “empathy” in a broader framework, including intentionality, the originality of experience, the issue of personality and the individual identity, as well as the so-called world of values, namely the culture, I argue for a dynamic, process-oriented concept of dealing with feelings, namely diapathy.

“Double Being ” of the Human Being: Culture as the Basis for Becoming a Personality

Author(s): Illya Reyderman,Anastasiia Zinevych / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2020

The main purpose of this article is to prove that one can become a personality only through culture. The authors propose to regard culture as a relatively autonomous spiritual sphere, which transcends the narrow requirements of the concrete society in its historical limitations. They argue that personality is the highest level of human development to emerge in culture, whereas the level of a biosocial organism is provided by society. The authors claim that only culture, be it religious or secular, contains an existential and spiritual imperative which demands each human being to realize one’s own potential humanity. They explain why in a postmodern world culture becomes an “existential choice” of each human being, depending on one’s free will: to inherit the culture, to become a human being of humanity or not. In the Free school of philosophy and culture seminars (Odesa, Ukraine), the authors propose to enter the field of culture through the mutual interpretation of a chosen masterpiece of world literature and to link its message with our lives.

ПРОБЛЕМА ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЇ ОСОБИСТОСТІ В СУЧАСНОМУ ІНФОРМАЦІЙНОМУ ПРОСТОРІ

Author(s): Oksana Tur,Viktoriia Shabunina,Volodymyr Ivanovich Maslak / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 3/2021

The purpose of the article is a comprehensive analysis of the problem of personality alienation in cyberspace of the information society, aimed at identifying such behavioral aspects of personality that would indicate the presence of traits, qualities, or criteria of Internet addiction or the likelihood of their occurrence. The methodology of the study was general and special methods of studying the issue, the use of which allowed achieving this goal. The set of applied methods made it possible to clarify the logical sequence, the plurality of areas of influence of the information society on the individual, and the further transformation. The main principle was historicism, which involves the consideration of any phenomenon in its self-development under the influence of various factors. The historical-structural method is used to clarify the features of self-identification in the information society. The historical-system method is aimed at analyzing society as a whole and the changes within it caused by transformational processes. Quantitative methods were used to process the results of sociological surveys and questionnaires, as well as to diagnose the process under study. The scientific novelty of the study is the expansion of ideas about the issue of alienation of an individual in the modern information space. Thanks to a sociological study conducted by the authors, it was hypothesized that Internet addiction can occur not only in adolescence but also the middle-aged people can get into the conditions of transformation of their personality. Conclusions. The beginning of the XXI century was marked by the emergence of the phenomenon of complex psychosocial relations between the individual and the information environment that surrounds him. The extraordinary opportunities that a computer gives to a person, on the one hand, open up a boundless field for creativity, and on the other hand, create and consolidate alienation between people, dramatically change basic values, ideals, and evaluations. The transformation of the individual in the modern information society demonstrates the decline of spirituality, the technicalization of life, and the transfer of priorities to the virtual environment.
