Uczenie się dorosłych w hybrydowym modelu pracy

Author(s): Marcin Rojek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 2/2023

This article presents part of the results of a study conducted in 2022/2023 on informal adult learning in a hybrid work model. This model frames the professional functioning of an increasing number of workers and is the source of their work experience. Among other things, the survey results reveal that the model is internally highly heterogeneous, is rapidly transforming and partly already exists in variants that were not yet theoretically described and mentioned in the literature when the survey was planned. The most diverse responses were obtained in the groups of statements concerning learning as action and learning as belonging. In contrast, the least variation occurred in the groups of statements on learning as becoming and experiencing. Switching to a hybrid work model most often increased commitment to work tasks, but at the same time made communication with colleagues more difficult. According to the respondents, the nature and intensity of social relationships between employees in the hybrid model are similar to those in the stationary model.

GAME-BASED LEARNING AND ITS APPLICATION TO FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING IN MONTENEGRO

Author(s): Igor Ivanović / Language(s): English Issue: 46/2023

This paper deals with some practical aspects of game-based learning (GBL) in terms of foreign language acquisition. The main premise of this paper is that game-based learning is inherently more suitable for language learning than a traditional classroom, since it is based on the concept of playfulness, which is an integral part of the personalities of virtually all learners and especially young learners. Therefore game-based learning can be used to remove the linearity and negative predictability of the traditional classroom paradigm and introduce a novel way of teaching students in Montenegro. Another benefit of game-based learning is that it can be applied to just about any subject in our schools and faculties with the caveat of first implementing appropriate adjustments to the curriculum design depending on the specific nature of the subject in question. First, we will introduce the concept of GBL, then provide an overview of the overall theories this paper is based on and introduce the outcomes of our GBL study with a game called Portal 2 and show how game-based learning can be practically applied to foreign language teaching and learning. Our study was designed to function as longitudinal research containing the Target and two Control groups with the aim of investigating whether gamebased learning can be an effective tool for foreign language learning. We found that GBL may provide an interactive and engaging environment that encourages active participation and immersion in the language, which helps learners develop their communication, vocabulary, grammar, and cultural awareness skills in a fun and motivating way.

Análisis de los factores desmotivadores durante la enseñanza a distancia de emergencia causada por el Covid-19: El caso del español como lengua extranjera en el Instituto Cervantes de El Cairo

Author(s): María del Carmen Méndez Santos / Language(s): Spanish Issue: 37/2023

The Covid-19 pandemic challenged societies and governments that took as an emergency response to transfer education to a virtual modality. Th is measure was carried out in an improvised manner, given the urgency of the situation. Th is meant that the teachinglearning process was transferred to a format and path for which it was not designed. Due to this situation, numerous challenges emerged during its implementation. Given this context, our goal was to investigate and defi ne what factors caused the demotivation of the students in order to inform both teachers and center managers on how to optimize teaching in the event that a similar situation occurs again. For this, we have carried out a quantitative research study among students of the Instituto Cervantes de El Cairo. Th e mixed-type questionnaire (with open items and others in Likert scale format) has been shown to be reliable and consistent (α = 0.92). Th e data was processed in SPSS v28 and QDA Miner Lite. Th e results indicate that students are demotivated by (1) connection problems; (2) lack of interaction, contact and emotional relationship with teachers and classmates; (3) lack of clarity and relevance in activities and content; (4) defi ciency of understanding and (5) absence of individualized attention; as wells as (6) poor time management, among other aspects.

The Humanizing Power of Narrative in Academic EFL Teaching as Response to COVID-19 Post-pandemic Education Challenges

Author(s): Aleksandra Łukaszyk-Spryszak,Anna Sańczyk-Cruz / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

The COVID-19 pandemic enforced rapid changes in teaching methodology, practically revising the widely applied academic practices and traditional approaches. Upon entering the spaces of classrooms after demanding remote learning, academic teachers and students encounter several challenges that pertain to building humanizing learning environments, as times differ from those before the pandemic. Therefore, promoting humanizing pedagogy in higher education is critically needed right now. The purpose of the article is to detail theoretical and practical solutions for academic teachers to inspire them to implement a narrative approach in their academic classrooms. Empirical studies support that when humanizing pedagogy is put into practice, it can strengthen reflective and dialogic approaches to teaching English, including teaching a specialist language. The practical suggestions on how to implement these approaches into teaching EFL and ESP in the context of Polish higher education distinctively show the potential of narratives and storytelling as didactic tools translating into an opportunity to design modern, high-quality English language courses.

ДЕФИНИСАЊЕ ИСТОВЕТНИХ ЛЕКСЕМА У ОНЛАЈН РЕЧНИЦИМА: СТУДИЈА СЛУЧАЈА О ТРИ ПОПУЛАРНА ЕНГЛЕСКА ЈЕДНОЈЕЗИЧНА РЕЧНИКА

Author(s): Milan Todorović,Natasha A. Spasich / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 28/2023

In this paper we presented the different ways in which three monolingual online English dictionaries (Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English Online, Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries and Merriam-Webster Dictionary) define the same lexemes that belong to different language levels (from A1 to B2). Aside from the formal elements present in all of the (online) dictionaries – part of speech, pronunciation, examples, register, pictures and synonyms, we highlighted the very nature of the definitions. We studied two lexemes for each of the language levels. When analising individual examples we employed the descriptive method, while the comparison method was used to point out the key differences in which these dictionaries define concepts such as: artist, government, immortal, meanwhile, etc. The aim of the analysis and comparison was to highlight which of the aforementioned dictionaries would be suitable for high school students to use when learning English as a foreign language. We came to the following conclusions – Longman and Oxford dictionaries break down the more complex meanings into digestible instances and use language that is appropriate for the language level of the desired lexeme. Webster’s dictionary is more formal and often uses sentence patterns and words that are above the language level of the target lexeme.

Analysing the Teacher’s Activity During Distance Lessons: The Aspect of Neurocognitive Processes

Author(s): Aušra Daugirdienė,Agnė Brandišauskienė / Language(s): English Issue: 74/2023

The article presents four neurocognitive processes (excitation, perception, memorisation and using, transferring and adapting information and/or actions) during learning. Based on these processes, good learning can occur if the teacher chooses appropriate methods. The article presents an analysis of 28 distance lessons. The results show that active methods are most frequently used during the excitement process. In the process of perception, the verbal (questioning) method is used. While using, transferring, and adapting information and/or actions, the teacher applies various verbal methods and self-check tests to enable pupils to revise what they have learned.

ORGANIZAREA PRACTICULUI DE LABORATOR ONLINE ÎN CHIMIA INORGANICĂ ȘI ANALITICĂ - O POSIBILĂ SOLUȚIE PENTRU SITUAȚIA PANDEMICĂ

Author(s): Iurie Subotin,Raisa Druţă / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 2/2021

The article analyzes the possible methods for performing laboratory work in chemistry during a situation of lockdown or pandemic. Laboratory practice is one of the main ways to learn the basics of science. The results of the experiments performed by the students stimulate their thinking, lead them to discussions and lead them to draw conclusions. All this leads to the optimization of the learning process. The use of very simple tools often helps in learning, facilitating the assimilation of the material. If the transfer of knowledge is not done correctly initially, then the subsequent understanding of the material will be more difficult to achieve. In the absence of a strong connection with previously studied topics it will be more difficult for students to think. Students begin to believe that science is difficult to understand, interest is often lost, and knowledge gained during the theoretical course may lose its value. People are naturally curious and always on the lookout, and the lab is a good place to satisfy that curiosity. In the laboratory, students have the opportunity to test their theoretical knowledge, which structures thinking and increases interest in science.

Author(s): Serghei Andronic,Luminiţa Bernaz,Irina Tutunaru,Stela Balan,Diana Munteanu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 3/2021

The paper represents the results of the study based on the students' questionnaire in the „Evaluation of the quality of remote education” survey. The current survey was conducted in order to identify the impact of the training format (remote in contrast with conventional learning) on both qualities of the studies and student satisfaction levels in the conditions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. The questioning of the students took place in 2 rounds, which has allowed us to observe the change in the quality of the studies from the moment in which the remote learning was introduced. When the restrictions were applied, there was a need for a quick transition of the teaching process from the conventional to the online format. In the past year, there was a large amount of knowledge that was gained in terms of online teaching, and thus there is need for further improvement and adaptation of our teaching capacities. To sum up, there are several actions that were formulated for the implementation of online training as a means of support for traditional learning formats.

Author(s): Mihail Ciopașiu / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 3/2023

The Covid-19 Pandemic changed the way we live in ways we didn’t imagine. One of the biggest changes was the way education was shifted from the traditional face to face to online. For the teachers, students and families, this change came with many challenges, but it was seen as a necessary shift in the pandemic context. It was not the same though for the children coming from poor communities where there was no access to the internet or the necessary equipment to connect to the online platforms was not available. The experience of the online education in the context of Covid – 19 Pandemic can be used for a better approach in the way authorities and NGO’s support the students from disadvantaged communities.

WYŁANIAJĄCA SIĘ NOWA KULTURA SZKOŁY WRAZ Z JEJ POTENCJALNYMI KONSEKWENCJAMI W KONTEKŚCIE EDUKACJI ZDALNEJ W CZASIE PANDEMII COVID-19?1

Author(s): Piotr Mikiewicz,Marta Jurczak-Morris,Justyna Barzak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 13/2022

Although the origins of remote education date back to the 18th century (Kentnor, 2015) however, only recently, in the second decade of the 21st century, due to a natural experiment that the COVID-19 pandemic has become, remote learning began to play a key role in mass global education. In these unprecedented times of reorganisation of time and space in order to ensure the continuity of social life, the school, subjected to a major organisational transformation, changed its form from the traditional setting (characterised by a clear division of time and space, i.e. lessons in the school classroom) to the virtual setting, escaping this division. The aim of the conducted research study is to describe to what extent the functioning of the institution of the school has changed (if at all) due to its virtual environment, with particular reference to the school culture understood as “the beliefs, views, attitudes and relationships, and the written and unwritten rules that shape every aspect of the school as an institution (...) and community” (Ward, Burke, 2004:1). In other words, the question considered is how and what has changed in the functioning of the school, with particular regards to school rituals, teaching strategies, and the interactions of school actors, as a result of remote education? Has online education changed the way teachers and students behave and perceive school?

Employee Well-Being and the Remote Leader: A Systematic Literature Review

Author(s): Judith Schmitt / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

Recent industry developments emphasize the need for research into promoting employee well-being via virtual leadership. While the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated remote work, global trends such as low unemployment rates sparked an urgency to prioritize employee well-being. This SLR analyses findings to understand the role of leadership behaviour within this context for application in the business environment. Applying the PRISMA method, 15 relevant studies before and during the pandemic were selected. The analysis found critical aspects of remote work which affect employee well-being while emphasizing implications for leadership. Key themes are boundaries between work-life and private life, supportive relationships and adequate use of technology. Contributing to existing research into employee well-being, this review discusses the effects of remote work on employee well-being, differentiates between research conducted before and during the pandemic and identifies implications for leaders to manage employee challenges in virtual environments to design post-COVID-19 work environments using remote work as a resource, not a demand. Based on the results, the review provides suggestions for further research into (1) comparative studies of employee well-being in remote and traditional work forms, (2) manager-employee relationships in remote settings and (3) virtual onboarding scenarios.Implications for Central European audience: The review informs leaders about well-being-promoting behaviour in remote work settings.
