(UN)REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS? PERCEPTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN VOJVODINA

Author(s): Zorana Lužanin,Biljana Lungulov / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2020

Future students’ expectations of higher education, and the relevance of one’s (un)realistic expectations for further academic success, are of growing importance in the context of contemporary needs for quality improvement in higher education. Research indicates that students’ perceptions and expectations regarding studies and academic life can influence their academic success, satisfaction with studies, as well as impact their decision to leave university. The research presented in this paper aims to investigate high school students’ expectations and perceptions regarding higher education and future studies. Participants were 1259 third and fourth-grade high school students planning to continue their education at universities. The paper presents qualitative and quantitative analyses of open-ended questions which were assorted in numerous categories, subjected to further statistical analysis. Results indicate that the majority of high school students hold the belief that academic studies require more effort and that the concept of academic studies, regarding the structure of lectures, greatly differs from the one in high schools. On the other hand, a surprisingly small number of high school students expect to gain advanced knowledge at the university and get better opportunities for employment after graduation. It has been concluded that there are significant statistical differences among high school students regarding their expectations, depending on their gender, age, type of high school they are attending, as well as their hometown. The results were discussed concerning their relevance for enabling an easier transition from high school to university, providing better adaptation to university life and preventing dropping out from university.

A Lesson in Discrimination. Segregation of Romani Children in Primary Education in Slovakia

A Lesson in Discrimination. Segregation of Romani Children in Primary Education in Slovakia

Author(s): Specified No Author / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 2017

The European Roma Rights Centre and Amnesty International have been monitoring and researching Romani children’s access to education in Slovakia since 1996 and 2006, respectively. This joint report presents a bleak picture: the piecemeal reforms and periodic declarations of intent by successive governments cannot obscure the fact that the discrimination and segregation of Roma in primary education remains widespread and that the Slovak authorities are fundamentally failing to address them. Under national, European and international law, discrimination in the field of education is prohibited in Slovakia. However, in practice, Slovak authorities have not accompanied the ban on discrimination with concrete measures to address or prevent it. In the longer term, the failure to enforce the prohibition of discrimination in access to education has far-reaching consequences for thousands of Romani children who remain segregated in inferior education that traps them in a cycle of poverty and marginalization. Nominal prohibitions are worth little without concerted, proactive measures to address pervasive prejudice and structural flaws that facilitate discrimination and encourage segregation.

A Phenomenographic Study of Adolescents’ Conceptions of Health Information Appraisal as a Critical Component of Adolescent Health Literacy

Author(s): Inese Stars,Zanda Rubene / Language(s): English / Issue: 44/2020

This paper reports on a health literacy study that explored adolescents’ conceptualizations of health information appraisal as a social practice in Latvia. The study was guided by phenomenography, a qualitative research approach used to describe people’s conceptions of a particular phenomenon. A purposive, maximum variation sampling was used, and 24 adolescents were recruited to take part in the study, ranging from 13 to 16 year-olds. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken for data collection. A phenomenographic method for data analysis was performed using the guidelines proved by Sandberg.

A Place with No Time: Re-Conceptualising Child–Adult Relations during ‘Homeschooling’ in the 2020 Pandemic

Author(s): Sarah Crinall,Edith Crinall Rowbottom,Xanthia Patricia Mariana Blom / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2020

We have heard the warming planet’s calls for sustaining rhythms through many events. COVID-19 is one such song. We have returned home with our families to our places in a mandated ‘lockdown’. Competitive economics are troubled, and trouble our world with unsustaining patterns. An urgent, convergent conversation about how ‘we’ (writers entwining) might touch on sustenance more begins between our two families. The children amongst us want to thread into these convolutions too.

A Research on Schools as Learning Organizations: A Theoretical Approach

A Research on Schools as Learning Organizations: A Theoretical Approach

Author(s): Gabriela Alina Paraschiva,Anca Draghici,Constanţa-Valentina Mihăilă / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2019

Due to the growing pressures on the educational area to provide young people with the knowledge and skills needed to live and work in a constantly changing society and the technologies and trades that today do not exist, the model of learning organization has been extended to schools, as an attempt to re-conceptualize them from organizations that are traditionally linked to the learning and knowledge process to organizations that are capable of responding with efficiency to uncertain and dynamic environments. The purpose of this paper is to identify the state of affairs in the Romanian educational system (pre-university level) in order to provide a starting point for the implementation of the ‘school as a learning organization’ concept and model. The approach is theoretical, using desk research of regulations and data regarding the public expenditure in education, per capita funding, number of pupils enrolled, PISA results and correlations between the action-oriented dimensions (including their key characteristics/elements) of the model proposed by Kools & Stoll (2017) and the performance indicators (including descriptors) that are used at the Romanian national level. Results show that, between 2009 and 2018, school organizations were under increasing pressure and the implementation of this concept and model at system level could be an opportunity to focus on students from the organizational side, having the determined correlations as a foundation.

A Study on Some Aspects of Distance Learning for Physiotherapy Students during a Pandemic

Author(s): Nezabravka Gencheva,Aleksandra Gencheva-Vassileva / Language(s): English / Issue: 7s/2020

During the COVID 19 Pandemic all Bulgarian universities offered different platforms for distance learning and gave the possibility to all teachers to choose which technology to use The aim of the study is to analyze the process of distance learning of two Physiotherapy courses using the possibilities of Facebook and Viber groups with their strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats. We used the inquiry method. The online questionnaires were designed using Google platform. We identified the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and heats of this method of e-learning through a SWOT analysis. Using Facebook and Viber groups gives the opportunity to adapt faster and flexible to the new learning conditions and to achieve good study results. Regardless of the students' satisfaction with the remote used technologies, the specific nature of Physiotherapy needs practical learning and working with patients which could not be achieved by distance learning.

A Sure Start? Implementing Early Childhood Prevention Programs under Structural Constraints

A Sure Start? Implementing Early Childhood Prevention Programs under Structural Constraints

Author(s): Judit Keller,Alexandra Szőke / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2019

Early childhood prevention programs, fueled by the idea of social investment, have been the focus of policy making for a few decades in Europe and the USA. Amongst these, the Sure Start program in Hungary has evolved into a nationwide service incorporated into the child welfare system. The program aims to combat social exclusion and compensate unequal opportunities related to socio-spatial inequalities through providing assistance, developmental intervention, and social activities to families. The article examines the socio-spatial consequences of the program by bringing together an analysis of the current regulatory and financial framework and the everyday working of several Sure Start houses in different parts of the country. The analysis relies on the findings of two post-doctoral research projects (NRDIO PD 112659 and Premium PD 3300405), combining sociological and anthropological fieldwork in three settlements. The study reveals that the current institutional structure is based on structural deficiencies and institutional asymmetries characterized by the disproportionate allocation of resources and obligations for Sure Start houses. This results in large differences regarding the implementation of the program in different localities, which are largely influenced by the positionality of the settlements, as well as the resources that the maintainers of the service can draw on. The article argues that in its current form the program appears to strengthen rather than alleviate socio-spatial inequalities, as it is exactly the most disadvantaged remote rural places that lack the resources that would be needed to compensate for their multiple disadvantages.

Author(s): Laura Kirss,Ülle Säälik,Margus Pedaste,Äli Leijen / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2020

As a result of the intensification and diversification of migration processes, education decision-makers across the globe find themselves facing issues of multilingual education. Coupled with demands for inclusive education for all children, education professionals, especially school leaders, are challenged with finding the best solutions possible. Moreover, school leaders lack useful evaluation tools for reviewing or revising multilingual education in the turbulent times. Stemming from the practical need for assistance in the adaptation process and the gap in research, this article proposes a new synthesized conceptual framework for analysing and evaluating the current status and characteristics of multilingual education. Firstly, the article reviews the available approaches to multilingual education and provides an analysis of them. Secondly, based on the synthesis of results, an elaborated conceptual framework in the format of a guidance tool is introduced to assist school leaders in their work with multilingual education.

ABOUT THE CHILD'S REFUSAL TO LEAVE THE DEBTOR AND THE PRINCIPLE OF THE CHILD'S SUPERIOR INTEREST - STORY WITHOUT AN END

ABOUT THE CHILD'S REFUSAL TO LEAVE THE DEBTOR AND THE PRINCIPLE OF THE CHILD'S SUPERIOR INTEREST - STORY WITHOUT AN END

Author(s): Maria-Magdalena Cardis / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2019

Unlike the previous regulation, in the current Code of Civil Procedure there are de facto rules that should give a solution to the situation in which the child refuses to leave the debtor, even if he was entrusted with a decision of the court to another person. . However, the effect of the rules in question is uncertain and the legal mechanism is inconsistent, despite the fact that it is supposed to work in compliance with the principle of the superior interest of the child. The present article does not aim to provide an absolute solution regarding how to proceed in this situation, but only to analyse some issues that have virtually no solution, as well as how they could have a positive effects, based on the existing legislation, starting from the premise observance of the principle of the best interests of the child.

Abstract Data Types

Author(s): Lasko Laskov / Language(s): English / Issue: 6/2020

Formation of notion is a fundamental process in education, and for that reason it is excessively studied in both psychology and pedagogy. The application of the pedagogical techniques has a key role in education in informatics (Asenova,1990) and has significantly improved the results in introduction of complex notions in our practice. Such complex notion is abstract data type (ADT) which is a key concept in computer programming for developing data structures, data types, and have vast influence on the algorithms applied on them. In order to introduce the notion ADT we adopt a system of tasks that develop the needed knowledge through the important data structures of linked lists, queues and stacks.

Academic E-learning in Poland Results of a Diagnostic Survey

Academic E-learning in Poland Results of a Diagnostic Survey

Author(s): Izabela Maleńczyk,Bartlomiej Gładysz / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

Academic e-learning is not a new phenomenon world-wide or in Poland. However, there are only a few publications examining academic e-learning in Poland from a wider perspective (i.e., country-wide, and not only from that of the specific course, faculty member, or university orientation), and none of them present complex analysis and diagnosis. The goal of this paper is to present an investigation of academic e-learning in Poland in both public and private universities. The sample of 139 universities was surveyed, and relations between variables – such as e-learning process characteristics and university characteristics – were analysed via hypotheses testing. Results of the survey may constitute a basis for comparison on a national and international level and offer strategic directions for university authorities.

Academic Success Between Disabling Hearing Loss and Hearing Students in Upper-Secondary: An Inclusive Classroom

Academic Success Between Disabling Hearing Loss and Hearing Students in Upper-Secondary: An Inclusive Classroom

Author(s): David A. Hernández-Ontiveros,Diego-Oswaldo Camacho-Vega / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2020

Academic performance between disabling hearing loss (DHL) and hearing students is unclear when considering students in the same classroom. The main objective of this study is to identify significant differences in grade by semester between DHL students who study in the same classroom supported by sign language interprets. Second, this study looks to identify what school subjects show significant differences between DHL and hearing students. N= 35 upper-secondary students from a Mexican school with an inclusive educational methodology (deaf and hearings share the same classroom supported by an interpreter) participated in the study (M = 17; SD = 2.2), n = 21 disabling hearing loss students (52% males) and n = 14 hearing students were followed during three years (six semesters). The first step was to obtain the previous grade earned in their low-secondary studies. Second, we got the overall rate by semester identifying grades by subject and comparing results between groups. Results indicated significant differences in academic performance, showing higher mastery for DHL students in the fourth and fifth semesters, particularly in computer-logical subjects and social subjects. In conclusion, this research provides evidence that supports the success of an inclusive methodology where DHL and hearing students share the same instructional design supported by a sign language interpreter. Additionally, DHL students performed better in the computer-logical subjects, an important skill daily but even more in the current COVID -19 crisis, as well as a social subject, an important factor suggested by prior evidence.

Active Forms of Recreation in the Magazine “Nasze Zdroje” (1910–1914)

Author(s): Renata Bednarz-Grzybek / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2020

The spa press at the beginning of the XXth century often raised issues related to tourism, sport and recreation. The columnists appreciated the importance of health and the educational potential of active forms of spending free time. Activity was given an institutionalized character. This paper presents the active forms of recreation recommended to Polish society through their presentation in the magazine “Nasze Zdroje” (1910–1914). Hence, the article indicates the active forms of recreation available in the resorts such as mountain climbing, sports tourism, and skiing, as well as discussing the content popularizing mountain trips. Tips were given on how to prepare for this type of expedition, often combined with visiting historical monuments. Summer camps, including therapeutic camps, for children and adolescents were discussed, and were strongly promoted. Proposed recreational activities in the open air (walking, playing, and games) were presented, taking into account the educational aspect: instilling healthy habits in young people and adults.
