The article was inspired by Jan Szczepanski's reflections on the development of higher education. They refer to the impact of science on the development of the society, efficiency of higher education, the use of intellectual abilities, organization of scholarly work teams and their administration. These are problems crucial for the society of education and economy based on education, in which universities play a major role. Their essential task is to improve the standard of education, which is related to satisfaction with studies and to individual development in the context of career planning. Studies are a borderline of transition to another place in social structure. This phase allows for experiments and introduction of new patterns.

The study enquires how far families deciding about further education after the eight years of primary education pay heed to the likely labour-market return on such schooling. The analysis rests on the relation between the unemployment rate at district level and further studies, based on a cross-sectional estimate. It emerges that unemployment prompts families to be more ambitious in their decisions about further education. This effect is stronger for children whose parents have a low level of schooling, which suggests that the differing alternative costs of education is the prime factor behind the relation. The effect is weak, however, in terms of the parents' level of schooling - the primary determinant of further studies. The findings show also that differences according to type of settlement found in the proportion of those continuing their studies can be attributed in part to the level-of-schooling structure among the parents.

Starting from the fall of 2006, the instruction of library and information science majors in Hungary has been enacted in a two-tier education system complying with the Bologna declaration for higher education. It was in spring of 2008 that the Ministry of Education and Culture released the list of requirements for training and qualification of the second level, the magister (or master's) degree, which determines the corpus of knowledge and professional competences the would-be graduates are to command. The study discusses the system of requirements of the BA (bakkalaureus or bachelor-level) instruction currently conducted, the subject directions announced by the 11 institutions of higher education participating in the instruction, the general and professional stock material, the personal and professional competences to be learned in the master-level instruction, the scope of knowledge and subjects pertaining to the permitted subject directions as well as the topical items of information related to the master-level training.

The author presents a sociological reflection on development dynamics of higher education in Poland in the times of transformation. The paper focuses mainly on phenomena which cause concern, assuming that positive processes are well discernible and do not require further complements. The whole article tackles issues related to learning and its development as well as education and teaching problems. The Silesian Voivodship, with its state and non-state higher education institutions, is a territorial frame of reference and an empirical background. Notes on institutions of learning ware preceded by reflections on teaching and educational situation in the voivodship. They primarily concern non-state higher education schools forming a group of late newcomers in relation to state institutions. Additionally, the paper discusses threats to learning and higher education institutions brought about by modern world. It also presents the scope of Polish research and learning achievements against the background of achievements of international academic research. The paper concludes with a discussion on the role, aims, and tasks of universities.

Despite the automation of work processes and services worldwide, the importance of highly skilled human resource has increased in every professional area, including the area of information services. This situation lead to a change of paradigm in librarianship, especially concerning the skills and attitudes required in the library environment. The recent library legislation in Hungary established the new system of libraries and library services and laid down the structures of professional training and continuous training of librarians. Making the image of librarianship more attractive became one of the strategic goals of the Hungarian Library Strategy for the period 2003-2007. The implementation of the strategic plans has become an issue of great interest among all library professionals. There are a number of issues that need to be re-considered in the system of training, including the components and proportions of the knowledge areas that need to be studied and the content and structures of professional training and continuous training. A system of competitive salaries must be worked out and ways must be found to make the image of librarianship rise higher in public esteem. The investment in human resource at libraries pays dividends in the multiple tasks and services provided by librarians for the benefit of citizens.

The past few years have brought radical changes in the Hungarian higher educational system. Similarly to other training programmes, the training in library and information sciences has been subject to significant modification too. Beside structural changes of the training, LIS departments and schools are striving to keep up with the technological requirements of the information age with syllabuses focusing on IT-related subjects. This tendency is justified on the one hand, since library services do have to keep up with the fast development of information technologies. However, we have to keep in mind that in order to train competent LIS professionals, the training programme must be founded on a solid, long term, progressive concept. In addition to developing IT skills, students need to get familiar with all the basic principles of library and information sciences. These principles have been somewhat neglected over the past few years in favour of the use of information technology tools, nevertheless, libraries are not able to provide quality services without them. Unfortunately there are a few areas of librarianship and related work processes that are missing from current LIS curricula or are only included as theoretical subjects. This paper demonstrates the shortcomings of the current training programmes and argues that structural modifications in the training system need to be followed by the improvement of the syllabuses too.

In the result of the change of political and economic system in Poland the problem of social inequalities has receded into the background, attracting little attention of contemporary researchers. This has led to a situation where it is even difficult to determine the percentage of young people from rural areas that study at Poland' universities. It is obvious that the place of residence is one of the most important factors determining the individual's access to education. It is not only interesting from the scientific point of view but also socially important to establish from which groups of the population the present university students come and how the process of their allocation to individual faculties looks like. Among the tendencies observable at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun one seems to be particularly noteworthy - young people from rural areas most often study at departments which attract fewer candidates or at departments which are considered to be traditional and less prestigious. Young people from urban areas, in turn, study mainly at departments that are currently fashionable, popular and offer good prospects for finding a well-paid job in the future. Difficult exams and strong competition from other candidates are not an obstacle for urban youth.

The new building is situated next to the main building of the Corvinus University of Budapest, forming part of the UNESCO World Heritage on the bank of the river Danube, in the 9th district of Budapest. The project was carried out by Wallis Real Estate during less than two years. The new building complex is successfully integrated in the existing university campus and in the architectural setting of the district. The external design of the building adopts modern and functional forms, while the use of sophisticated and long lasting materials ensure economic and sustainable operation. The building represents a true example of the ideal environment for education, research and businesses of future knowledge societies.

The use of performance indicators in the diagnosis and evaluation of institutions of higher education (HE) is becoming ever more common. This article is devoted to problems in using such indicators to assess the work of the university. This issue is firmly rooted in the ongoing contemporary debate on the effectiveness and efficiency of the academic sector. I look at both the potential for the use of performance indicators and their weaknesses, and further propose to discuss two problems related to the use of the performance indicators in higher education. In the paper the types and methods of constructing the indicators used to evaluate HE institutions are characterised. Key criteria for evaluating these metrics are then presented. Reflections on the selection of indicators and construction criteria are illustrated by the example of selected, frequently misinterpreted indicators.

The growing numbers and increasing heterogeneity of students as well as the new demands they must face in the instructional environment of higher education have directed attention to the characteristics of students' learning. This has been an issue in Western European and American studies on learning in higher education since the 1970s. The present literature review distinguishes three major periods of research. In the first, the issue was discussed without scientific attention, in the second it was studied in the framework of cognitive psychology and in the third, from the 1990s, the constructivist paradigm also influenced the investigations. The laboratory experiments and phenomenographic studies of the second period revealed different learning characteristics of students in higher education: the holistic and serialist learning style (Pask, 1976) and deep and surface approaches to studying (Marton and Säljö, 1976), the latter of which was also complemented with a questionnaire-based studies of motivation. The new wave of research in the 1990s resulted in a more complex model of learning styles (Vermunt, 1998), determined by the mental model, the orientation as well as the regulatory and processing strategies of learning. Research has also detected a change in the learning style of students in higher education: it becomes dissonant in the first year as encounters with a new instructional environment initially transform merely the mental model of learning, leading to a change in study strategies only later. Among the factors that influence learning style and its changes two major areas were analysed. Attention to student characteristics (age, gender and cultural background) failed to yield unequivocal and reliable results. The examination of the role of context (learning environment, courses and academic discipline) revealed convincing evidence for the effects of innovative learning environments and different courses on learning style.

Direct results of e-learning activity are assessed in reference to teaching quality and its costs. Whereas in the perspective of teaching quality there are different measures of didactic effectiveness used, on the financial arena there is, in turn, a range of cost effectiveness measures. Separate task is, however, defining the manner of complex measure of long-term effects of e-learning activity, in particular in relation to the adopted strategy. The article describes the application of Balanced Scorecard in e-learning, which, according to the author, provides adequate tools for the assessment of log-term effectiveness. The analysis described in the paper supports the validity of putting aims and benchmarks for e-learning activity into four basic perspectives suggested by Balanced Scorecard: financial, customer internal process and growth.

One of the main problems of contemporary higher education on a global scale is the deficit of sufficient financial resources. Universities are financed from both public and private sources. Presently in Poland reforms of this financing are being discussed and implemented. This generates both economic and social consequences. The newly edited ”Development strategy for the higher education system in Poland up to the year 2020” suggests many both evolutionary and revolutionary changes in financing higher education. The example is an idea of common tuition fees.

Both the development of the civilization today as well as the lifestyle of the society based on the consumption do not always involve the behaviours dealing with providing the mental picture of lives according to the laws of nature and its respect. The causes of this situation may result from the variety of educational negligence and the materialistic lifestyle created by the mass media. The level of the consciousness can be significantly improved due to the competent preparation of the future teachers to realize the issues of the ecology and of the “sustainable development” in the educational process. There was the investigation carried out to find out the level of the respondents’ knowledge and to get the comprehensive knowledge on the required problem, i.e. if and to what degree the students of the natural science specializations were prepared to realize the issues of the sustainable development. The number of 297 students was involved in the investigation. They represented the following specializations: biology, geography and chemistry in their universities.

Until now in Poland, entrepreneurship - as an obligatory subject in the teaching programme - has been introduced only in secondary schools. There aren't general rules about entrepreneurship's education in higher education. The results of research show that most of classes related to entrepreneurship issues are offered in the curriculums of business-oriented faculties, in private universities. The biggest gap in that field is in curriculums of humanistic and exact sciences faculties. There is a great need of activities developing entrepreneurship in Polish higher education. One of the ways can be introducing entrepreneurship as an obligatory subject in curriculums of different faculties and different levels of studies. There is also a need of academic teachers support system creation.
