KS. WŁADYSŁAW PIWOWARSKI (1929–2001) – WSPÓŁTWÓRCA POLSKIEJ SOCJOLOGII RELIGII
Authors:   Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, Mariański Janusz
Published: May 2022

Fr. prof. Władysław Piwowarski is known in Poland and abroad primarily as a sociologist of religion. His sociological works are an important component (one would like to say – classic) of the Polish sociology of religion, they have determined and still determine its development. Most of them closed a certain stage in the development of the sociology of religion in Poland and opened a new one. Today it would be difficult to imagine a thorough study of religiosity without taking into account the sociological achievements of Fr. prof. Piwowarski. In this study, we will only focus on selected aspects of his concept of the sociology of religion (sociology of religion as a sociological subdiscipline), religiosity as a subject of sociological research, methodological problems of the sociology of religion). We ignore his scientific achievements in the fields of sociology of morality, social philosophy, Catholic social science and pastoral theology.

Published: May 2022

In this article, the author conducts a comparative analysis of international and Ukrainian legislation in the field of regulation of rights and obligations of trademark owners and domain names, protection mechanisms and their legislative consolidation. The imperfection of the legislative enshrinement of the domain name concept, the consequences of the lack of legal regulation by the state of the legal status of persons who have the right of ownership of the domain name, the lack of legal consolidation of mechanisms for acquiring and terminating domain name ownership and the legal consolidation of trademark and domain name. The differences between the current methods of protection of the right to a domain name in Ukraine and at the international level were revealed, and the prescriptions of the rules governing and resolving domain disputes in international and Ukrainian legal practice were compared. Based on the analyzed legislation, rules and scientific materials, ways to improve the legal status of domain name owners in Ukraine are proposed, including the separation of the domain name as a separate object of intellectual property rights, with typical for intellectual property rights guarantees for protection and enforcement on the domain name on the part of the state, development of the uniform mechanism regulated by the state of registration and acquisition of the property rights to the domain name and separation of legal ways and means of protection of the right to the domain name.

Research-action Methodology between Computer Science and Educational Psychology: a Multidisciplinary Approach
Authors:   Independent Researcher, Jimeno Antonio
Published: May 2022

Computer science studies possess a strong multidisciplinary aptitude since most graduates do their professional work outside of a computing environment, in close collaboration with professionals from many different areas. However, the training offered in computer science studies lacks that multidisciplinary factor, focusing more on purely technical aspects. In this paper we present a novel experience where computer studies and educational psychology find a common ground and realistic working through laboratory practices. Specifically, the work enables students of computer science education the development of diagnosis support systems, with artificial intelligence techniques, which could then be used for future educational psychologists. The applications developed by computer science students are the creation of a model for the diagnosis of pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), sometimes also commonly called the autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The complexity of this diagnosis, not only by the exclusive characteristics of every person who suffers from it, but also by the large numbers of variables involved in it, requires very strong and close interdisciplinary participation. This work demonstrates that it is possible to intervene in a curricular perspective, in the university, to promote the development of interpersonal skills. What can be shown, in this way, is a methodology for interdisciplinary practices design and a guide for monitoring and evaluation. The results are very encouraging since we obtained significant differences in academic achievement between students who attended a course using the new methodology and those who did not use it.

Published: May 2022

While discussion on faculty development in China has been increasing in recent years, our understanding of the strategy for the development remains limited. This study with a survey aimed to examine whether e-learning could meet faculty members’ expectations for their professional development. Our findings suggest that e-learning is identified as a preferred means of opening new opportunities to meet the needs of faculty in China where faculty development still remains traditional training and it has bright prospects. The result also highlights individual perspectives as a critical factor shaping e-learning behavior, and provides implications for the policy of faculty development.

The paper presents research results of the two-year pedagogical experiment comparing test scores in three subjects (Database Systems, Management, IT English) taught either in the ICT-supported way, or in the traditional face-to-face way at the Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic. The main research objective was to find out whether ICT contribute to increasing learners’ knowledge and consequently to forming key competences. Didactic tests as the main tool were used within the pedagogical experiment which followed the “pre-test - instruction - post-test - post-test2” structure. The research sample included 687 respondents. Obtained results proved there were no statistically significant differences in learners’ knowledge in both approaches to instruction. The results were discussed from two important points of view: (1) teachers’ and learners’ ability to use the potential of ICT in teaching/learning and (2) the role of teaching/learning styles in the ICT-supported instruction.

Authors:   Istanbul University Florence Nightingale Nursing Faculty, Şenyuva Emine , Kaya Hülya ,   Istanbul University Florence Nightingale Nursing Faculty
Published: May 2022

Little is known about nurses’ viewpoints, experience, and opinions regarding this issue even though lifelong learning and distance education are of great importance in nursing. It is important to have knowledge about nurses’ lifelong-learning tendencies and attitudes toward distance education when structuring related education programmes. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between nurses’ lifelong-learning tendencies and their attitudes toward distance education. This is a descriptive research design with a stratified random sample. The sample included 417 nurses. The Lifelong-Learning Tendencies Scale and the Distance Education Attitude Scale were used to collect data. SPSS for Windows 16.0 was used for statistical analysis. Our results show that nurses do not tend to engage in lifelong learning, and they experience uncertainty in their attitudes toward distance education. We found a weak negative correlation between lifelong-learning tendencies and attitudes toward distance education. Continuing education programmes should be designed to improve and support nurses’ attitudes toward lifelong learning and distance education. Distance education supports nurses’ lifelong learning by updating their post-graduation knowledge improving comprehension about developments that affect and consciously broaden their viewpoint and intellectual level. Continuing education programmes to enhance nurses’ personal and professional development should be designed to improve their attitudes toward lifelong learning and distance education.

Authors:   University of Maribor, Duh Matjaž , Korošec Bowen Anita ,   University of Maribor
Published: May 2022

In Slovenian schools pupils have few opportunities to observe, understand and enjoy works of art. Contemporary art education in Slovenia should aim to combine the development of productive and receptive artistic abilities. This would make more comprehensive artistic development of pupils possible. In this study we monitored the development of the art-appreciation abilities of 10 – 11-year old pupils in primary schools in northeastern Slovenia. Th e results show that the level of art-appreciation abilities is somewhat average, however, girls showed higher developed art-appreciation abilities than boys. Based on the results we can conclude that the development of art appreciation abilities in our art-education program is given too little attention.

Authors:   Inonu University, Akkaya Gamze , Serdar Köksal Mustafa ,   Inonu University
Published: May 2022

The purpose of this study was to describe processes and methods suggested by science teachers for changing alternative conceptions about genetics. The study focused on a group of 17 (8 male and 9 female) science teachers who were graduate level students or completed a graduate program. Hence, the group was the case of this study. Qualitative data of the study was collected by detailed lesson plans prepared by the participants for overcoming two alternative conceptions about genetics (chromosome is an organelle and DNA is found as a whole set in the body) and follow-up interviews. The data was analyzed by descriptive analysis. The findings showed that the case group of this study represented fragmented processes to overcome the alternative conceptions. At the same time, they did not provide methods or processes in line with conceptual change models. These findings mean that science and technology teachers who have completed a graduate program or are currently graduate students of science education are not able to plan coherent teaching on alternative conceptions or are not aware of conceptual change processes and methods.

The multidisciplinary approach to the study of metals which we are proposing includes the modernization of the curricular content and its connection with everyday life. The use of additional teaching material in elementary schools in rural and urban areas in the wider region of the city of Niš has contributed to increased interest and activities on the part of the schoolchildren, which has in turn led to a significant quantitative improvement in their knowledge of chemistry in general, but also of metals in particular. All of the schoolchildren achieved a satisfactory level of knowledge (>50%) following the implementation of the expanded curriculum.
To Think Like a Scientist: an Experience from the Czech Primary School Inquiry-based Learning Programme
Authors:   Technical University of Liberec, Cincera Jan
Published: May 2022

The paper presents an evaluation of an inquiry-based learning programme for primary school pupils in the Czech Republic. The programme consisted of two parts: in the first part pupils acquired and practised inquiry skills, in the second they applied them to three independent inquiry-based learning lessons. Both pupils and teachers were highly satisfied with the programme. According to the pre/post non-equivalent experimental/control group designed evaluation research, the pupils who participated in the programme significantly improved their understanding of the research cycle representing the basic logic of scientific work. No such change appeared in the control groups. The programme influenced both boys and girls. Even though no significant gender differences for the groups of the 4th-5th grades and 6th-7th grades were found, the girls from the 8th-9th grade received a better score than the boys in both pre- and post-testing.

An Emerging Trend in Today’s World for Future Societies: Life-Wide Learning - a Scale Development and Application Study for Undergradutes in Faculties of Education
Authors:   Niğde University, Aslandağ Soylu Buket , Yanpar Yelken Tuğba ,   Mersin Üniversitesi
Published: May 2022

The recent changes in Europe have changed the understanding of higher education systems in Turkey; as such, higher education institutions have affiliated themselves with a reconstruction period. In this process, it has been emphasized that today’s societies are in need of individuals who are well-developed in personal and professional domains. The concept of life-wide learning has emphasised that the people graduating from universities just with the knowledge of their domains will be inefficient for fulfilling the needs of future societies. This study reflects on the results of research that was designed to develop and test an instrument that could identify the components of an undergraduate’s life-wide learning habits. Since it was difficult to anticipate the components of lifelong learning because of its complex nature, considerable attempts were made in order to handle the process for cognitive, physiological, affective, social, technical and cultural domains. The instrument which was developed - Life-wide Learning Habits Scale- was trialled with 645 undergraduate students studying at the faculty of education across a range of variables. The data was subjected to an explanatory factor analysis, allowing the identification of four dimensions of lifelong learning. These dimensions appear to be capable of differentiating between the personal developmental habits, professional habits, care-based habits, leisure habits of graduates. The developed scale was applied to 296 undergraduate students and the life-wide learning habits of students were assessed regarding their genders, departments and socio-economic situations. Depending on the collected data, lifelong learning habits of university students have been discussed, and some suggestions have been proposed to overcome diffi culties in organizational changes in higher education.

Published: May 2022

The study was conducted to explore teachers’ attitudes towards reflective practice in public and private sector at the higher secondary level. Objectives of the study were to investigate teachers’ attitude about the need for reflective practice in teaching and to explore teachers’ attitudes towards the use of reflective practice for understanding students’ learning difficulties. It was a descriptive study done in the Pakistani context. For this purpose, the researcher developed a questionnaire to find out teachers’ attitudes towards reflective practice. Data was collected through the stratified random sampling technique from 300 teachers teaching higher secondary classes of private and public sector higher secondary schools/ colleges. The analysis of the data was made by applying mean, SD (standard deviation), t-test and ANOVA (analysis of variance) through SPSS (statistical package for social sciences). The findings showed that teachers of both the public and private sectors did not realize the need for reflective practice at the higher secondary level for understanding students’ learning difficulties. It was recommended that teachers of the public and private sector may be aware of reflective practice through training programs. Strategies of reflective practice are supposed to be used by teachers in the teaching learning process. It is suggested that reflective practice may be mentioned in the syllabus of the training course. The findings of the presented study have implication for teachers and curriculum developers of professional development programs.

Teachers’ Pedagogical Beliefs as Predictors of Teacher Burnout
Authors:   University of Ljubljana, Depolli Steiner Katja
Published: May 2022

The presented study examined the relationship between teachers’ pedagogical beliefs and their experience of burnout. Its participants were 230 schoolteachers from fourteen Slovenian primary schools. The Questionnaire of Teacher Pedagogical Beliefs and Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educators Survey were applied. The findings suggest pedagogical beliefs as predictors of teacher burnout dimensions. Teachers’ negative pedagogical beliefs about students’ behavior and discipline maintenance are related to a greater experience of emotional exhaustion whilst negative beliefs about teachers’ trust in students and the role and responsibility of the teacher are related to a greater experience of depersonalization and decreases in personal accomplishment.

Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 5 science teachers in order to determine teachers’ expectations from parents. “The Scale of Expectations from Parent (SEFP)” was developed by using the findings obtained from the interviews. It was a 5-point Likert-type scale made up of 21 items and including the scale of “parental support” and “sense of responsibility”. The developed scale was delivered to the parents of the students of the teachers participating in the interview. The research results indicated that parents’ levels of satisfying the expectations were a significant predictor of science achievement.
Thinking Metacognitively: Metacognitive Skills and Science Performance
Authors:   Babes-Bolyai University, Ciascai Liliana , Haiduc Lavinia
Published: May 2022

The presented study aims to identify the relations between metacognitive skills and science performance. Data were collected from 211 Romanian adolescents in the seventh and eighth grades, who completed the Junior Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (the version for 5th- 9th grades). The results indicate that adolescents generally use metacognitive skills when learning science subjects and that some metacognitive skills are associated with better performance in science. Nevertheless, adolescents seem to encounter difficulties in using diagrams and pictures that facilitate the learning process, in evaluating the outcomes of their learning process and in using different learning strategies, in accordance with specific learning situations. Given the importance of metacognitive skills in science performance, we argue that it is essential for teachers to understand how to develop a culture of metacognition in science classrooms.

Published: May 2022

Lifelong learning is not an aim but a means for continuous and permanent development and successful advancement of each individual. Not only does it bring competitive advantage at the labour market, but it also helps to solve problems and provides new knowledge and contacts. Thanks to lifelong learning any individual has an opportunity to get educated at various stages of his life in accordance with his own interests and needs and his value at the labour market is increasing. Lifelong learning differs from school education by a variety of means, methods and motivation. The paper describes and analyses one of the main stages of lifelong learning, which is the adult education at the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague (CULS). The main aim of this paper is to provide basic information on the lifelong education at the faculty of Economics and Management of the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague. Selected statistical methods of quantitative research were used in order to analyse the above-mentioned issues. The data were obtained from a questionnaire survey and analysed using the one-dimensional as well as multidimensional statistical methods. The basis for the analysis itself were the data about students in the courses of lifelong education in the combined form of studying at the Faculty of Economics and Management (FEM) of CULS in Prague between the years 2004 – 2012.

Pedagogical Condition at Undergraduate Teacher Preparation
Authors:   Thomas Bata Univerzity in Zlin, Andrysová Pavla , Martincová Jana , Včelařová Hana
Published: May 2022

Within the academic preparation of future teachers we quite often notice that the students expect pedagogical or didactic disciplines to give them practical advice and guidelines for their teaching, which is logical. However, every experienced pedagogue knows how unrealistic such expectations are. The study of pedagogical sciences offers information basis, but its knowledge does not guarantee pedagogical mastery to any teacher. Our aim is to enrich the existing form of pedagogical programmes by adding a new dimension of personality development, which we want to achieve through psychosomatic disciplines. Completing this kind of preparation should enable the students to develop the so-called pedagogical condition. Graduates in Teacher Training programmes should then be not only academically educated professionals, but also authentic, self-reflecting personalities, capable of taking responsibility for their action.

Published: May 2022

The article presents a multi-dimensional model of a continuum in educational environment as far as teachers’ activity in the postmodern world, inundated with rapidly developing Information and Communication Technology (ICT), is concerned. The conception is designed by means of literature analysis, complemented with the findings of empirical/diagnostic/correlative research of quantitative/ qualitative character, meant to pinpoint the levels of 1160 teachers’ information literacy within the area of the use of ICT tools and methods. The boundary values of the model were determined (i.e., the concept-constructs of “cloud” and “silo”) together with their referents to six layers, including: technology, society, economy, knowledge, culture and philosophy (epistemology, axiology). Also, an attempt was made to calibrate teachers’ performance in their educational environment at the time of technological and cultural change.

As formadoras se constituíram investigadoras da docência produzindo conhecimento das práticas de ensinar Matemática e de formar professores.
OTHER WAYS TO THINK MATHEMATICS TEACHING: THE USES OF THEORY AND PRACTICE ON TEACHERS TRAINING
Authors: BOFF DAIANE SCOPEL , FABRIS ELÍ TEREZINHA HENN
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT: This paper develops from discursivities concerning theory and practice that go along with teachers training. Taking Michel Foucault’s theorization, Ludwig Wittgenstein’s latter thought and studies on contemporary teaching as analytical inspiration, this research describes the meaning ascribed to theory and practice on Mathematics’ teachers training courses, analyzing how they have been providing teaching that corroborate dichotomous utterances about these dimensions. The research material was provided by means of semi-structured interviews with Mathematics teachers who teach on Mathematics degree courses in the South of the country. The analytical movement performed exhibits that, as mathematical and educational knowledge are ascribed only in one of these dimensions, ways of teaching that prioritize what lies either on the concrete and the daily or on the abstract and the formal are settled, thus naturalizing and corroborating the dichotomy theory-practice on teachers training.
SELF-EFFICACY IN MEDICAL EDUCATION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Authors: COSTA FILHO JOSÉ DE OLIVEIRA , MURGO CAMÉLIA SANTINA , FRANCO ALINE FONSECA
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT: Self-efficacy is described as an important influencing factor of human behavior, linked to motivation and performance. Thus, its analysis in the educational context is relevant. The study aims to carry out a systematic review of self-efficacy in medical education, nationally and internationally, to analyze the main factors that impact the self-efficacy beliefs of medical professors and students. Therefore, we researched four databases: Virtual Health Library (BVS), Public Medline (PubMed), Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), and CAPES Portal, from 2015 to 2020, in Portuguese, Spanish, and English. The descriptors used were: “self-efficacy” and “medicine”, resulting in the selection of 20 studies. Based on the main objectives of the study, we created these categories: 1) self-efficacy and emotional factors, 2) self-efficacy and use of active teaching methodologies, 3) student self-efficacy and different teaching methods, 4) self-efficacy, motivation and self-regulated learning, and 5) student self-efficacy in a specific task and its correlation with performance. We concluded that the studies were consistent in qualifying self-efficacy as an important construct for medical education, associated with good emotional state, the development of teaching/learning strategies, and performance, in addition to pointing out the impact of the feedback type on the formation of student self-efficacy. As for the teaching methodology, it was not possible to confirm, in general, which is more favorable to strengthening self-efficacy, considering that other factors may be involved in the process.
Repenser le théâtre: Benjamin Fondane, pour une poétique existentielle
Authors: Blanariu Nicoleta Popa
Published: May 2022

Résumé Quelques traits dominants confèrent une certaine unité à la vision de Benjamin Fondane, alias B. Fundoianu, sur le théâtre. Raffinées sous l’emprise du milieu intellectuel et artistique français, notamment à la suite de la rencontre avec Artaud et Chestov (ce qui a accentué la prédisposition « existentielle » de la pensée de Fondane), ces dominantes se laissent découvrir des premiers articles de presse jusqu’aux pièces de théâtre contaminées par Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Chestov, Gide, Bergson, Freud. Selon Fondane, les biographies intellectuelles des maîtres, de Nietzsche et de Kierkegaard, en premier lieu, obéissent aussi à une logique dramatique. Dès sa période roumaine, Fondane s’intéresse aux changements du mécanisme théâtral, de la tragédie grecque jusqu’au drame réaliste et symboliste. De telles réflexions vont trouver une suite dans le Faux traité d’esthétique qui entrecroise des directions importantes dans les arts performatifs du XX-ième siècle et plus tard.
“Le tour du monde” das obras de Jules Verne: uma análise da atuação internacional dos editores Pierre-Jules Hetzel e Baptiste-Louis Garnier
Authors: Bezerra Valéria Cristina
Published: May 2022

Resumo O pertencimento de uma obra ou autor à literatura mundial não resulta, necessariamente, da qualidade da escrita literária. Significa, na verdade, o ponto máximo de uma trajetória envolvendo múltiplos agentes, que permitem a difusão e o reconhecimento de obras não apenas nos países considerados centrais para a consagração literária, mas em todo o globo, já que a literatura mundial só adquire essa designação quando é conhecida em diferentes campos nacionais que integram o espaço literário internacional. Este artigo busca retraçar a repercussão internacional de Jules Verne, autor exponencial na literatura mundial, por meio da análise do exercício de dois editores: Pierre-Jules Hetzel, responsável pelas edições de Verne na França, e Baptiste-Louis Garnier, mediador das traduções de Verne no Brasil. Para isso, investigarei as estratégias de Hetzel, que favoreceram o sucesso mundial dos romances de Verne, e as ações de Garnier, que viabilizaram a propagação das traduções desse autor em um espaço nacional. Verificarei, ainda, alguns elementos da recepção crítica de Verne na França e no Brasil, com o fim de identificar o status que esse escritor adquiriu nesses países a partir da iniciativa dos dois editores.
Baudelaire e o drama da incompreensão
Authors: Veras Eduardo
Published: May 2022

Resumo Este artigo pretende mostrar que a incompreensão do público não é apenas um fenômeno histórico-cultural capaz de explicar a má recepção pública dos primeiros poemas de Baudelaire. Tema de vários escritos do poeta, a incompreensão é incorporada em sua poesia como um problema enunciativo. Após breves comentários acerca do conceito de “poeta dramático”, cunhado por Barbey d’Aurevilly, analiso alguns poemas em prosa nos quais a incompreensão é dramatizada.
O gesto afrobrasileiro em “O recado do morro”, de Guimarães Rosa
Authors: Castro Gustavo de , Marinho Marcelo , Maciel Josemar
Published: May 2022

Resumo Análise de “O recado do morro” (1956), de João Guimarães Rosa, a partir do conceito de “gesto” em Vilém Flusser e da estética afrobrasileira. A análise das personagens em sua relação com a natureza, seres míticos, espiritualidade e “recados” nos leva a uma aproximação poética com os códigos gestuais dessa cultura. A partir da fenomenologia dos gestos, buscamos compreender como Guimarães Rosa captou, processou e articulou tal manifestação cultural nesse conto específico. Nossa conclusão aponta para a importância de os estudos rosianos levarem em consideração a emergência de mitos e linguagens corporais afrobrasileiros no conjunto de sua obra.

RESUMO Neste trabalho foi desenvolvido um biocompósito biodegradável a base de amido de banana verde (ABV) associado à celulose bacteriana (CB) e glicerina (GL), visando aplicação em produtos de rápida descartabilidade. Para a extração do amido, bananas verdes foram lavadas, cortadas e submersas em bissulfito de sódio a 1%, armazenadas em geladeira por 24 h, trituradas em liquidificador com água destilada e peneiradas. O amido precipitado foi disposto em placas de Petri e seco em estufa a 37 °C. Para avaliação da melhor composição com características hidrofóbicas e hidrofílicas, foi realizado um planejamento fatorial 23 completo com 3 pontos centrais, totalizando 11 amostras, sendo avaliada a influência da concentração de farelo de CB nos níveis 10 e 30 g/L, GL nas concentrações de 0 e 16 g/L e metiltrietoxisilano (MTES) na etapa de silanização nas concentrações de 0 e 4% em solução alcoólica. A análise de ângulo de contato permitiu identificar a hidrofobicidade das amostras comprovando a eficácia da silanização. Com base nas medidas de ângulo de contato das amostras foram produzidos os corpos de prova para caracterização contendo 20 g/L de CB, 8 g/L de GL e 4% de silano, uma vez que quanto maior concentração de silano, maior foi a hidrofobicidade do material. A análise de espectroscopia no infravermelho com transformada de Fourier (FTIR) apontou as bandas características de silano, comprovando a reação química com MTES, sendo também possível constatar a existência do amido, CB e GL. A análise termogravimétrica (TGA) demonstrou que a temperatura de degradação máxima da amostra ABV/FCB/GLcs silanizada (4%) se apresenta em Tmáx3= 310°C. Com o teste de degrabilidade em solo foi possível identificar que as amostras funcionalizadas demoram mais para degradar em comparação com as não silanizadas devido à sua barreira a umidade, característica que desacelera a degradação por microorganismos.
