Design Thinking as Pedagogy in Practice

Author(s): Lucy Hatt,Jenny Davidson,Justine Carrion-Weiss / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2023

Design Thinking is gaining considerable attention across various domains including education; however its use in Executive Education has not been documented much in the literature to date. By integrating Design Thinking principles and methodologies into the curriculum for Executive learners, we highlight the benefits and outcomes of using Design Thinking as a pedagogical approach. This study explores the effective application of Design Thinking as pedagogy in two modules of an Executive MBA programme at Newcastle University Business School. Through a combination of blended learning materials and experiential, collaborative projects with client organizations, we set out how learners were immersed in a human-centred problem-solving process, developing creativity, empathy, and the ability to identify innovative solutions to complex business challenges. The study presents data gathered from client feedback and learners' reflective assessments, demonstrating the effectiveness and impact of Design Thinking as pedagogy. The integration of Design Thinking principles empowered learners to feel able to lead change initiatives within their organizations in their respective discipline areas effectively. This study contributes to the literature on effective educational approaches in Executive Education, emphasizing the potential of Design Thinking as pedagogy in practice to equip learners with the skills and mindsets necessary for driving organizational innovation and sustainability.

Strategies of teachers towards Muslim students in Polish schools

Author(s): Anna Odrowąż-Coates,Katarzyna Górak-Sosnowska / Language(s): English Issue: 3 (44)/2023

Due to over 40 years of seclusion behind the iron curtain (until 1989) and the myth of a single ethnicity, single religion nation, the Polish education system lacks exposure to a multireligious classroom environment. With EU accession in 2004, the situation is gradually changing. Although higher education facilities provide teachers with comprehensive training in this matter, the actual first-hand experience is rare and new. In this paper, we used an exploratory study, based on qualitative data collected in autumn 2022, using an interpretative approach, to identify and describe strategies for the best practices of teachers when working with Muslim students in a Polish classroom. The empirical data was derived from 37 interviews with teachers (25) and with Muslim students (12) covering 5 voivodeships. We aim to provide a valuable source of information for professionals on how to create an inclusive classroom environment. The exploratory study is part of a larger research project that received funding from the EU, titled EMPATHY: Challenging discourse about Islam and Muslims in Poland, [101049389 CERV-2021-EQUAL]. In effect, we identified 2 predominant strategies of teachers for engagement with Muslim students and several best practice examples on how to overcome obstacles to classroom inclusion.

Author(s): Jerzy Nikitorowicz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2023

The problem of identity forming is presented in the article on selected examples of creative biographies. The author points out how important in this process is the inherited culture, shaped in the family home and in the local environment. He also indicates how difficult the process of integration with the culture is when this culture is acquired in state educational institutions, conducting an internal dialogue to create an individual culture of being, achieving goals and values in positive freedom and civil disobedience. In the presented creative biographies, the author draws attention to the awareness of experiences and experiences in each of the cultures, to the ability and skill to resolve conflicts, negotiate, reconcile values, patterns, norms in the constant process of identity forming. The author draws attention to the development of a reflective identity project, conscious and responsible choices of content from each culture, the existential theme of the joy of living, being in harmony with oneself, which is particularly important in intercultural education.

Realizacja reguł gatunku w formie kolekcji w konkretnym przewodniku

Author(s): Maria Wojtak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2023

The application of methods of genological analysis in relation to a specific text allows for a formulation of hypotheses about its genre and discursive identity, which broadens the research perspectives of descriptive genology. The analysed text is characterised by an intricate structure, combining a chain and box compositions that may be discovered by referring to the concept of genre in the form of a collection. It includes a profiled description of sanctuaries in a creatively modified convention of Bedeker descriptions and encourages readers to visit specific churches as architectural monuments and places of worship, juxtaposing the perspectives of tourism and pilgrimage. The analysis of a specific text gains a broader cognitive perspective in the article. It allows for reflections, which supplement knowledge about the categories functioning in descriptive genology, such as: genre in the form of a collection, relations between text and genre, as well as between text, genre and discourse, text mosaic and text collage, genre and text hybridizatio and a tourist guidebook as a genre of speech.

Funkcje (i konsekwencje) wybranych paratekstów w edycjach baśni Grimmowskich wydanych w latach 2000-2021. Prolegomena

Author(s): Kamila Kowalczyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 33/2023

This article focuses on representative paratexts accompanying Polish language editions in fairy tales from Jacob and Wilhelm Grimms’ selection published in Poland in 2000–2021. On a basis of forewords, afterwords, blurbs, information included in prelims, and colophons, an attempt was made to signal research problems concerning the cultural status of Grimms’ fairy tale emerging from paratexts. Particular attention was paid to communication strategies of editors, publishers and translators, as well as to potential consequences in how elements surrounding and supplementing the actual text of a tale were received by the readers.

Takis Würgers Roman Stella (2019) – Holocaustliteratur einer neuen Generation?

Author(s): Andreas Ohme / Language(s): German Issue: 24/2023

Takis Würger’s novel Stella, published in 2019, has received mostly unenthusias-tic reviews from literary critics because, in their opinion, it does not do justice to Stella Goldschlag's historical persona. Rather, the text merely turns a tragic conflict into Holocaust kitsch. In order to examine this judgement, the article analyses the poetics of the novel. This analysis reveals two things: the text does not in fact strive for a historically accurate portrayal of Stella Goldschlag, but reflects on the different ways of accessing the historical phenomenon. In this sense, Stella may be seen as an passable attempt to write modern literature about the Holocaust for today's generation. It does not, however, do so consistently be-cause it oscillates between the genre of the historical novel and allegory. The fic-titious narrator, Friedrich, also proves inconsistent. His mixture of naivety and pathos indeed tends towards kitsch.

Author(s): Grażyna Legutko / Language(s): Polish Issue: 14/2023

The article is an attempt to re-enactment the unknown part of Maria Sieroszewska life. She was a daughter of Wacław Sieroszewski (1858–1945), the Polish man who was exiled to Siberia and Arina Czełba-Kysa (1860–1886), an Yackut woman who came from Wierchojańsk. Maria was a half-orphan. When she was a five-years-old-girl, her mother died. When she was sixteen years old, her father came back to Poland and left her with his friends in Czarist Russia. Maria grew up in the area that contained three cultures: Polish, Russian and Sakha. Her life exemplifies the dramatic fate of children whose parents were from two other countries (mother was from Asia, father came from Europe) in that time.

Suverenumo samprata Georges’o Bataille’o filosofijoje

Author(s): Linartas Tuomas / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 115/2023

The article considers Georges Bataille's concept of sovereignty. It argues that Bataille's concept of sovereignty covers three principal domains: materialist (economic), transcendental (epistemological), and temporal. Here, Bataille's sovereignty is defined as anti-servile, anti-utilitarian and anti-rationalist. Also, Bataille's sovereignty is described as egalitarian, rebellious and based on useless and nonproductive consumption. Bataille's temporal sovereignty is defined as presentism. The article proposes the notions of acephalous sovereignty and political atheology. Finally, the research reveals that Bataille's concept of sovereignty is more economic than political. This is what makes it original and distinguishes it from other theories of sovereignty.

International students’ adjustment to the educational environment of the Russian university: medical and psychological aspect of socio-cultural integration

Author(s): Anna Mikhailovna Markus,Inna Nickolaevna Dmitrusenko,Igor Andreevich Tishevskoy / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2023

Introduction. The increase in the number of academic exchange programmes for students contributes to a significant growth in the number of international students in Russian universities who often experience a sense of dislocation and have to adjust to new academic and cultural environments. The key problem of integrating international students into the Russian educational environment is their psychological adjustment, which determines not only their academic attainment, but also indicators of their health and social well-being. The purpose of this article is to identify psychological and medical factors and manifestations of adjustment to the educational environment of the Russian university for international students, as well as to assess their satisfaction with medical and psychological support during their studies at university. Materials and Methods. The study has been conducted on the basis of an anthropo-systemic methodological approach, which implies a focus on improving constructive strategies and resources for students that allow them to overcome various difficulties more effectively, as well as on developing intercultural communication skills, creating internal and external conditions for self-fulfillment. Questionnaires designed to study medical and psychological aspects of the international students’ adjustment to the educational environment of the Russian university were used as research methods. Results. The study has revealed that 33 per cent of participating international students demonstrated ‘low’ and ‘below average’ levels of adjustment. ‘Above average’ and ‘high’ levels of adjustment were revealed in 56 per cent of participants. Only 11 per cent of the sample demonstrated the ‘average’ level of adjustment. At the same time, international students showed a low degree of selfdetermination in relation to the future career and prospects for personal development and a high demand for assistance in understanding the importance of professionalization and revealing students’ abilities for self-development and self-determination. The analysis of the demand and experience of receiving medical services by international students revealed that about 80% of the participants sought medical help. About 73% of them were fully or partially satisfied with the quality of medical services provided, 10% were dissatisfied with the quality, and 17% found it difficult to assess the quality of medical care. The study reveals the following drawbacks in the complex work implemented by university departments responsible for optimizing psychological and medical indicators of international students’ adaptation: time-limits for the examination of patients by a medical worker, difficulties in communication between a specialist and an international student determined by language and cultural barriers, as well as the fact that ‘supporting’ university staff insufficiently take into account the abovementioned low degree of international students’ self-determination. Conclusions. The conducted research has identified a range of degrees in international students’ adjustment to the Russian educational environment with a small number of individuals with an average degree of adjustment. The main unfavorable psychological factor in the international students’ adjustment is low level of their professional self-determination and insufficient formation of personal development prospects. The level and availability of medical care provided to international students in Russia satisfy most of them. The key problem that reduces international students’ satisfaction with the quality of medical services is difficulties in social communication with employees of medical institutions.

The future as an « agreeable fiction »

Author(s): Adrian Majuru / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2022

Romania lacks a “map of the future”. And this mapping of the future is a matter for the human factor alone. It is the continued investment in the human factor. As Spiru Haret used to say in his time, “How the school looks today, the country will look tomorrow”. In the last thirty years of freedom of opinion and attitude, there have been and still are very few positive steps backed up by constructive arguments, with clear milestones and stages to be followed. The reconnection to reality is built by investing in people because excellence and competence do not depend on the size of the country, but on its education system. It needs to change. The second clear option for reconnecting to reality is to re-skill the workforce.

Агионимы в русских свадебных приговорах

Author(s): Yulia Krasheninnikova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 4/2023

The paper considers the Holy Names (agionyms) that occur in the texts of wedding speeches. The reasons and mechanisms of inclusion of these nominations in the text of wedding rites are analyzed, the key and frequent onyms related to sanctity are highlighted. The work uses a wide range of sources — archival and published materials of the 19th - early 21st centuries. Аghioanthroponyms, aghiotoponyms, eortonyms, templeonyms, and icononyms are recorded in wedding speeches. The group of agioanthroponyms consisting of the names of characters of the Christian pantheon, the Old and New Testaments, famous Christian saints is multifarious. The frequent agioanthroponyms are Jesus Christ, the Mother of God, and Nicholas the Wonderworker, the use of which in some texts in pairs (Spas - Nicholas / Spas - the Mother of God / Nicholas - the Mother of God) indicates that they are endowed with an equal degree of holiness in popular beliefs. The names of biblical characters Adam and Eve are next in frequency of use: their mentioning in the wedding text is connected with the perception of these characters as the progenitors of the human race. The rest of the agioanthroponyms are fixed in single variant, their appearance in the text is sporadic and irregular. Each name has certain meanings in the biblical cultural tradition, and the situation associated with it refers to a certain biblical story. The knowledge of these stories and their articulation by both sides of the wedding rite makes it possible to clarify the cultural orientations and value attitudes of those who came for the bride, as well as the similarity of these attitudes to the perceptions of the bride’s family. Other varieties of agionyms (agiotoponyms, eortonyms, templeonyms) are represented in speeches by one or two examples; their appearance in folklore texts is not a systematic occurrence.

„Nőkérdés” és női iránymutatás: Pályaválasztási tanácsok lányoknak a Horthy-korszakból

Author(s): Barbara Papp / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2022

In important issue in the Horthy Era was the so-called “issue of women”, which meant that due to changes in lifestyle the role of women had to be redefined, and at the same time society had to deal with increasing number of female students in higher education and women in intellectual careers. The expression signifies that these phenomena were considered a significant problem at the time. Higher education was available to women, but only with serious restrictions, for example they couldn’t study law and engineering. Therefore, their career options were also limited. This study examines how women helped their fellow women in choosing schools and careers. We present three extremely popular publications or series of publications containing career advice: a volume of the Magazine of Working Women (Dolgozó Asszonyok Lapja), which was relatively liberal; the books of Jolán Gergely, who believed in educating girls using Catholic principles; and the career advice articles of the Hungarian Women’s Review (Magyar Női Szemle), the magazine for women with university degrees. All of these publications advised choosing a career, so they thought it to be natural that a middle-class woman would move on to higher education, and even start working if necessary. They encouraged women to be independent and to start their own ventures, mainly so that they don’t take secure jobs from men. They advised “ladies” to be resourceful, attentive, and make use of niche markets, even if it would mean disrespecting traditions.

Visual History: a történettudományos képelemzés megújítása?

Author(s): Ágnes Tamás / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 3/2022

A Visual History kutatási irányzatként körülbelül harmincéves múltra tekinthet vissza. Elterjedéséhez több tényező is hozzájárult. A 20. század eleje óta egyre növekvő számú, ma már szinte befogadhatatlan mennyiségű képi impulzus éri az átlagos médiafogyasztót, így a történészek képzelőerejét is egyre inkább megmozgatják a képek mint források. A képek egyre intenzívebb tudományos kutatását jelentősen ösztönözte az is, hogy az internet teljesen új képkeresési lehetőségeket nyitott meg: egyre több archívum és (fotó)gyűjtemény válik elérhetővé a kutatók számára a saját számítógépükről, s nem kell másolatokat rendelniük a kutatáshoz (esetleg a publikációhoz), ami jelentősen olcsóbbá és gyorsabbá tette a képek kutatását. A paradigmaváltás, a nyitás a képi források felé különösen vonzók az újabb történészgenerációk számára, akik már maguk is a modern médiumok világában szocializálódtak.

Gyermekkorú elleni szexuális erőszak és reprezentációi a századelő Budapestjén Berthóti József „merénylete” Wolf Anna ellen

Author(s): Sándor Nagy / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2023

“Budapest police arrested József Berthóti, the foreman of the Budapest wire factory on Thursday. The 51 years old man lured an 11 years old girl to the laundry room of the house on 11 Mária Street, and assaulted her. The girl’s mother became aware of the situation, and called to police, who escorted Berthóti to the police headquarters, where he was arrested after interrogation.” – newspapers in Budapest published on 14th January 1910. Sexual assault against minors was of course heavily penalized by Hungarian law, however, this case also reveals the shortcomings of this legal protection. The penal code known as the Csemegi Code made it possible to avoid penalty, if the victim was willing to marry the perpetrator. This is what happened in this particular case, after the Ministry of Justice permitted the girl to marry. The study examines the background and representations of the case, as well as the press reactions in Budapest. Among these newspapers only the social democratic Népszava drew a parallel between societal and sexual exploitation initially, other publications later emphasized the comical nature of this marriage, but failed to identify a general social issue. Furthermore, the roles even got switched in certain reports: some journalists believed that it might have been Anna Wolf and her mother who “forced” József Berthóti into the marriage. One explanation of this indifference to child protection concerns could be that this turn of events did not fit the roles expected in melodrama. The wider social context of this case comes from the “dark side” of urban development.

VR, NFT, Metaverse... How Digital Innovations Affect the Development of Marketing and PR Communications

Author(s): Dmytro Olegovich Oltarzhevskyi,Olga Oltarzhevska / Language(s): English Issue: 33/2023

This study aims to determine innovative global trends in communications and their impact on the development of the marketing and PR industry. For this, we applied trend analysis, one of the modern forecasting methods, which is based on the examination of secondary sources and news publications and allows the identification of weak information signals from various markets based on the mention of digital innovations. Innovative tools guide companies to construct a new reality for stakeholders, improve interaction methods with stakeholders, and form their favorable corporate image and brand positioning. We identified six trends that will impact the development of communications in the coming decades: machine learning; big data; virtual reality technologies; digital gamification; blockchain and NFT; migration to the metaverse. We concluded that these digital innovations would enrich the promotion toolkit, form a new socio-communication dimension, and produce a creative and meaningful context. In particular, we conclude that VR technologies will encourage further penetration of advertising and PR into the field of integrated virtual communications. Gamification will become more and more deeply rooted in all areas of marketing and PR activities, diversify interaction with stakeholders, and increase its effectiveness thanks to novelty, emotionality, and user involvement. Finally, NFT will become a symbol of innovation from the image perspective and a thematic platform for stakeholder communications. The article also outlines the features of marketing and PR in the metaverse.

TARİHİ KENT DOKUSUNUN KORUNMASINDA GRAFİK TASARIMIN ROLÜ

Author(s): Dide Akdağ Satir / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 105/2023

Another important element as important as the formation of historical texture and culture is the protection of the values. Throughout history, communities have used graphic design elements in their designs in the context of the conditions of the period in order to leave traces of their own culture and to ensure the continuity of their visual identity. Today, graphic design problems created by advertising and promotional practices that develop in parallel with the increasing population have been identified. The role of graphic design will be examined in the design applications on the determined sample historical textures. In this context, the responsibilities of the graphic designer, what needs to be done to provide a sensitive visual communication in accordance with the rules on and around the historical textures in the cities, and the ways of implementation within the scope of advertising, advertisement and promotion rules will be examined through the examples identified. For the city, which forms the basis of everything related to human beings, it is aimed to think from a different perspective with solutions to protect the historical texture within the framework of environmental graphic design. It is aimed to raise awareness about the relationship between the city, design perception and historical texture.

Social Ethics in a World of Consumption

Author(s): Iosif Riviș-Tipei / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

The purpose of this paper is to explore the implications of the postmodern consumerist society from the perspective of Christian ethical teaching. The argument shows that the consumerist culture is built on a worldview that originated in the Enlightenment and has acquired a foothold within Eastern Europe and the church. The paper highlights the challenges consumerism poses for living a truly ethical life within the community and proposes that the church, in an act of self-examination, can become a catalyst for change. It can be a voice and an example of alternative living for society at large.
