SEMAPHORES IN UNIVERSITY SPACE(S): AN (AUTO)ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY

Author(s): Kinga Majchrzak-Ptak / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Gaining importance in the face of actions currently being undertaken in countries including Poland in the area of what is termed the active policy of memory, research is being dedicated to commemoration that can help in discovering the specific nature and direction of the development of collective (non)memory frameworks within which individual memory, the basis for creating one’s own identity, is constructed. In this chapter, reference is made to semaphores related to the past of Stockholm University, i.e. objects that a given community recognises as carriers of meanings and values that combine a semiotic dimension with a material dimension, therefore objects that should act as sites of memory by definition. The chapter presents the results of the analysis and interpretation of data collected through (auto) observation and searching in secondary sources, focused around questions such as: What is the nature of semaphores located at Stockholm University? What is the importance of sites of memory in the university’s architectural, social, cultural and educational spaces? Addressing these topics permits conclusions – including e.g that Swedish university memory is dominated by men – which have educational implications.

Author(s): Klaudia Węc / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This chapter deals with the issue of a subject’s maturation in the perspective of passing away, which is that subject’s boundary experience. The main issue of this text is time as a symptom of a sense of existential meaning, generating the need for individual coping strategies around ageing. Ontological and epistemological dimensions of this text are based on interpretative tools derived from Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalysis.

PSYCHOEDUCATION FOR CAREGIVERS WITH CHRONICALLY ILL SPOUSES

Author(s): Emilia Mazurek / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Spouses of the chronically ill take on the role of informal caregivers. However, as they are seldom prepared to fulfil these new duties, they experience them as a burden, and often develop emotional and psychosomatic problems. Caregivers are “second-order patients” (Lederberg, 1998, p. 981), rarely receiving professional support. One form of effective support is psychoeducation, which integrates psychotherapeutic and educational interventions (Lukens & McFarlane, 2004). The present author’s aim is to review selected theories and empirical research on the psychoeducation of informal caregivers. Key goals of psychoeducation include expanding knowledge and skills in the fields of an illness and its treatment, emotional discharge, communication with medical staff, and self-help in crisis. There is increasing evidence that psychoeducation has a positive impact for caregivers in the following areas: decreased burden, diminished psychological stress, increased capacity to cope, and enhanced social connection (Lukens & McFarlane, 2004; Pharoah et al., 2010). Research results and good practices may form the basis for implementing new solutions in the psychoeducation of informal carers in Poland.

LEARNING THROUGH PERSPECTIVE TAKING

Author(s): Danuta Parlak / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Perspective taking is the ability to perceive and understand a given situation from the point of view of another person, and is of great importance in social interactions with individuals and social groups. Perspective-taking processes are used in educational strategies designed to improve the understanding of the needs and situations of elderly people and people with disabilities. Educational strategies such as simulation games and role-playing activities (the ageing game, disability simulations) allow young adults to imagine a different point of view, and also enable them to experience problems and challenges older adults face in daily life. This chapter contains an overview of research and a discussion of its results, showing the impact of learning processes through experiencing someone else’s perspective about attitudes towards the elderly and disabled, including empathy levels, ageist attitudes and the willingness to engage in further relations. Also discussed are advantages and disadvantages of educational strategies based on simulation games.

The quality of education depends on several factors where through the application of different methods and procedures a system of interaction of teaching is set.

SUVREMENI TRENDOVI U OBRAZOVANJU I ZNANOSTI

Author(s): Mirjana Mavrak / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

Pred našim očima obrazovanje mijenja svoj obraz, lik. Stoljeće u kojemu živimo označeno je pojmom globalizacije. Dok se s jedne strane dešava ukidanje ograničenja u razmjeni i protoku roba, usluga, ljudskih resursa i ideja, s druge se strane gubi specifičnost lokalne atribucije sadržaja razmjene. Obrazovanje nije pošteđeno aktivnog sudjelovanja u ovom procesu. S jedne strane, obrazovanje pristaje na brzo skladištenje sve većih količina znanja potrebnog za egzistenciju čovjeka, a s druge bije bitku za odgovornu upotrebu tog znanja, za vrijednosti primjene spoznatog. Deklarativno znanje, ono znanje koje se svodi na sadržaj koji osoba treba usvojiti kako bi dala niz prikladnih odgovora (verbalnih, motoričkih, misaonih...) na postavljena pitanja, predstavlja temelj svakog obrazovanja.

ALKALMAZOTT SZÍNHÁZ ÉS DRÁMA

Author(s): Gabriella Kovács / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

In this research, I tried to find answers to the following questions: Why have some actor training techniques become so popular and adaptable in the domains of education? Why is the domain of theatre the source to which language teachers often turn for new ideas and methods? What kind of interdisciplinary connections make such influences possible? Most language teachers are convinced that role-plays and drama techniques can help students become more interested and involved in classroom activities, and integrate the newly acquired knowledge through actively seeking new and creative solutions, addressing different problems, exploring alternatives. I tried to find out whether these techniques are considered equally effective and helpful in teaching English for specific purposes.
