In this paper, the issue of teaching professional aviation subjects in the field of higher education air transport was ad‐dressed. We present some research results in the field of didactics of professional aviation subjects, teaching effectiveness, motivation and evaluation of students in education. In this work we present some approaches to the development of didactics of professional subjects in Slovakia. We state that the subject of didactics is the student, teacher and knowledge forming the didactic tri‐angle. Didactics of professional subjects examines the possibilities of transforming the knowledge of technical scientific disciplines into the content of education, didactic systems, teaching projects and the studentʹs knowledge. We researched the area of didactics of professional aviation subjects with a focus on motivating students to study. We managed to involve a large sample of students in the research, which helped us in‐crease the objectivity of the results. Based on the research results, we recommend some measures to increase the quality of higher education of students in the field of air transport. The motivating goal for our research is to support the quality of education at the Faculty of Aeronautics of the Technical University of Košice.
The global pandemic has forced many people to make significant changes in their work, personal lives, and everyday duties and activities. This metamorphosis has also significantly affected education systems. Implemented research activity in the learning process and emphasised the development of children’s cooperation have recently been limited and often unattainable because of learner isolation, prevailing home education, and different countries’ COVID-19 quarantine measures. Herein, we investigated and tested the 2020 European spring preparedness, commitment, and erudition of in-service and pre-service teachers and parents in remote education. We profiled the following three paradigm models of successful remote education; specific experience of in-service and pre-service chemistry teachers and the parents of school-age children. Here, we concentrated on sensitive identification of the most common problems, disadvantages, and risks. Prospective teacher training should concentrate more on remote education. It should help develop teachers’ didactic competencies and increase their motivation and willingness to participate in this mode of education.
Purpose: The aim of the article is to present model Teacher Training Schools in Poland on the example of the implemented project ”Teacher Training School in the commune of Rawicz" and to present recommendations in the field of supporting teachers’ competences participating in the project. Design/methodology/approach: The article presents the Teacher Training School model as an innovative system of supporting teachers' competences. Selected aspects of the Teacher Training School functioning established as part of the project co-financed from EU funds are presented. The conclusions from the diagnostic tests (carried out for 7 supported schools, teachers and principals) were indicated in the light of their expectations for forms of support aimed at the development of professional competences. Two diagnostic methods and tools were used in the research process: CAWI survey – online survey research addressed to 66 teachers, based on respondents completing an electronic questionnaire using the Microsoft Forms tool, and CATI survey – computer-assisted telephone interview, conducted by the interviewer with 14 principals and deputy principals of schools, according to a predefined script. Findings: The results of the diagnosis of the schools’ needs, of teaching staff in particular, made it possible to specify teachers’ expectations within four subject areas (mathematics, ICT, natural sciences and language) towards the willingness to learn methods and techniques, as well as tools and technical means supporting the learning processes. At the same time, conditions for maintaining the durability of the introduced changes and strengthening the obtained effects were identified from the point of view of school principals and deputy principals. Research limitations/implications: The assessment of the effectiveness of the impact of the Teacher Training School in the commune of Rawicz presented in the article will be possible only after the completion of the project as part of the ongoing project evaluation. Practical implications: The results of diagnostic tests, including the expectations of teachers and managers, allow for detailed planning of workshops and cooperation networks in the project ”Teacher Training School in the commune of Rawicz”. Social implications: The implementation of model Teacher Training Schools in Poland will have a social dimension that will directly affect the development of teachers and indirectly increase the key competences of students. Originality/value: The presented model of the Teacher Training School as well as the conclusions of the conducted research constitute a recommendation for the needs of practical training of teachers from primary schools in Poland.
Opportunities for self-reflection and collaborative reflection support inquiry-based teaching. The presented study focuses on retrospective self-reports of 14 science teachers about teaching inquiry lessons in their regular science classes. Their self-reports were compared with observation reports of researchers. Data from semi-structured interviews were added. The results indicate that teachers overestimated their performance in the class in all observed areas of inquiry instruction. The most misinterpreted and overestimated area by teachers seems to be formulating research questions, analysing data and drawing conclusions, which are the most effective processes in student learning. Based on the results of the study, several implications are suggested in order to focus on the self-reflective skills of teachers.
Przeniesienie zajęć do trybu zdalnego stało się wyzwaniem w procesie dydaktycznym. Nauczyciele akademiccy poszukiwali najlepszych metod i form realizacji materiału. Pod koniec roku akademickiego 2020/2021 przeprowadzono wśród studentów pierwszego roku Politechniki Opolskiej z różnych kierunków i form studiów ankietę dotyczącą nauczania przedmiotów matematycznych, aby zobaczyć jaka forma pracy najbardziej pomagała studentom w zdobyciu wiedzy i umiejętności oraz co sprawiało im największą trudność. Celem artykułu jest analiza metod prowadzenia wykładów i ćwiczeń preferowanych przez studentów oraz ich stosunku do włączonej podczas zajęć kamery. Pokazano, że najwięcej studentów preferuje, gdy prowadzący przedstawia materiał w postaci prezentacji, którą uzupełnia na bieżąco. Blisko połowa studentów nie chce, by prowadzący miał włączoną kamerę.

Shifting classes into distance learning mode has become a challenge in the teaching process for the entire academic community in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only academics but also students had to adapt to the new form of education. At the turn of May and June 2021, the authors conducted a survey on teaching of mathematics subjects among first-year students of the Opole University of Technology who attended math courses in the summer semester 2020/2021. This article focuses on analysis of survey results for questions related to conducting lectures and exercises in the remote form. The students were asked about the method of remote lecture which they used the most and they could pick up to two methods out of the five indicated ways of lecturing. As many as 81.1% of surveyed students chose a lecture with a presentation as one of the lecture forms they prefer. Similar analyses were carried out in the context of conducting the exercises. This time the students had a choice of six options related to the forms of conducting exercises. As many as 84.3% of students marked one answer: the teacher solves and discusses exercises on the on-line board as the one they prefer. It was also examined what is the attitude of students towards using video camera during classes by the teacher and/or by the student. Without a surprise it turned out to be negative when it comes to students showing their video feed. The unexpected part is that students view negatively the setup where teacher is using a video camera during classes.

Philip Diaczan (1831-1906) was one of the vital figures within the Russophiles of Galicia, a popular pro-Russian, anti-Polish movement in Austria-Hungary. Having studied in Vienna under Franc Miklosic, in 1858 he started his career as a Greek Catholic priest and a gymnasium teacher in Lviv and Berezhany, specializing in classical languages. In 1866, he moved to the Kingdom of Poland and soon led a mass exodus of Greek Catholic clergy fleeing to Russia in order to embrace better living conditions, and, eventually, join the Orthodox Church in 1875. A gymnasium teacher of classics, first in Chełm, then in Warsaw, in 1874 he was given a professorship at the University of Warsaw, which he held onto until 1903. Lacking in professional competence, he became the very epitome of a social climber and an apparatchik of the superintendent Alexander Apukhtin, giving a bad name to the Imperial University as a place purportedly full of intrigue and devoted to the Russification of Poles instead of spreading academic knowledge.

The article explores the issue of foreign language teaching using commercially available new technology tools that are becoming more and more active in the everyday life of the learner and the teacher, especially in the military sector. Interactive teaching has become an integral part of the process of learning and teaching the language. Interactive ICT education is a modern and effective form of education. It maximises students’ commitment and activity and gives them the opportunity to choose their own paths of learning and development, tailored to their abilities. By participating in the classes, students develop a learning style similar to the research process that improves teaching effectiveness1. Using electronic information resources requires the use of modern IT tools, information and multimedia techniques. Experimental research into the effectiveness of information technology in a military school education has demonstrated that the use of these technologies is conducive to: high efficiency in the transmission of didactic content and skills by combining education and entertainment in one act, enabling simultaneous activation of several perceptual channels simultaneously. The learning process takes into account the individual pace and degree of real autonomy of learning foreign languages in an active and creative way, increasing the motivation of students to develop the learner’s cognitive abilities. It can also contribute to national safety to a great extent.
Introduction and aim: We deal with the summary of essential characteristics of technology, which are the fundamental elements of the state educational programs. The aim is to analyses an example of usage of a multimedia teaching aid in technology and to draw attention to its function as a tool to develop knowledge, skills and creativity of students. In the empiric part is adverted to a pedagogical experiment which proves that a computer (MTA) significantly influences not only the efficiency of students during teaching but also their motivational effect during the lessons. Material and methods: In this article we present a pedagogical experiment. Here is a detailed process during the pedagogical experiment and subsequent evaluation of research results. Results: The research results confirm the assumptions made in the working hypothesis H1. We argued that pupils in the experimental group achieve statistically significantly better results than pupils in the control group when taking the final didactic test focused on the issue of road safety education. Conclusion: A creation and implementation of modern multimedia teaching aids give a good opportunity to it. It depends on people (teachers) who create and implement it together. In case of Technical Education, there is no doubt that the effort is worthwhile.

Wstęp i cele: Mamy do czynienia ze streszczeniem podstawowych cech technologii, które są podstawowymi elementami państwowych programów edukacyjnych. Celem jest analiza przykładu wykorzystania multimedialnych pomoc nauczyciela w zakresie technologii i zwrócenie uwagi na jego funkcję jako narzędzia do rozwijania wiedzy, umiejętności i kreatywności uczniów. W części empirycznej jest prezentowany eksperyment pedagogiczny, który dowodzi, że komputer (MTA) znacząco wpływa nie tylko na efektywność uczniów podczas nauczania, ale także na ich wpływ motywacyjny podczas lekcji. Materiał and metody: Prezentowany jest eksperyment pedagogiczny. Opisano szczegółowy proces eksperymentu pedagogicznego i późniejszą ocenę wyników badań. Wyniki: Wyniki badań potwierdzają założenia przyjęte w hipotezie roboczej H1. Stwierdzono, że uczniowie w grupie eksperymentalnej osiągają istotnie statystycznie lepsze wyniki niż uczniowie z grupy kontrolnej podczas wykonywania końcowego testu dydaktycznego koncentrującego się na kwestii edukacji w zakresie bezpieczeństwa drogowego. Wniosek: Kreacja i realizacja nowoczesnych multimedialnych pomocy dydaktycznych daje dobrą okazję do doskonalenia procesu nauczania. Proces ten zależy od ludzi (nauczycieli), którzy tworzą i wdrażają go razem. W przypadku edukacji technicznej, nie ma wątpliwości, że wysiłek się opłaca.

Wypadki osób znajdujących się pod opieką szkół, przedszkoli i innych placówek nie doczekały się do tej pory dogłębnej analizy badawczej. Jeżeli przyjrzymy się danym, to możemy stwierdzić, że wypadkom ulega ponad 1% osób znajdujących się pod opieką szkół (placówek). Niestety wśród tych wypadków mamy również śmiertelne i ciężkie. W ciągu ostatnich 6 lat szkolnych (2010/11-2015/16) doszło do śmierci 188 osób, a wypadkom ciężkim uległo 1269 osób. Dane te wskazują, że należy zwiększyć działania wszystkich zainteresowanych stron mające na celu poprawę bezpieczeństwa w szkołach i placówkach w Polsce.

To date accidents on the premises of schools and other educational institutions, during the course of school activities have not been analysed thoroughly. Data show that over 1% of people under the care of schools (educational institutions) are involved in accidents. Unfortunately, fatal and serious accidents are not excluded. In the past 6 school years (2010/11-2015/16), 188 people died and 1269 had serious accidents. These data suggest that improvement in safety on the premises of schools and other educational.
Placówki oświatowe są miejscem gdzie sporą część dnia spędzają uczniowie. Jednocześnie są one również środowiskiem pracy nauczycieli. Jednym z głównych szkodliwych oraz uciążliwych czynników fizycznych, który występuje w tym środowisku pracy jest hałas. Może on pochodzić od źródeł wewnętrznych, jak i zewnętrznych, które przyczyniają się do powstawania tła akustycznego w szkole.

Educational institutions are the place where pupils spend a large part of the day. At the same time these places are also the workplaces of teachers. One of the major harmful and burdensome physical factors which occurs in the work environment is noise. It can come from internal sources and external sources. They contribute to the formation of unfavorable noise background in the school.
We propose a mutual learning method using nonlinear perceptron within the framework of online learning and have analyzed its validity using computer simulations. Mutual learning involving three or more students is fundamentally different from the two-student case with regard to variety when selecting a student to act as the teacher. The proposed method consists of two learning steps: first, multiple students learn independently from a teacher, and second, the students learn from others through mutual learning. Results showed that the mean squared error could be improved even if the teacher had not taken part in the mutual learning.
Purpose: To investigate prevalence and anatomical distribution of musculoskeletal pain (MSP) and its impact on quality of life (QoL) in elementary school teachers working in Muğla town center. Methods: Physical, sociodemographic and occupational characteristics of 104 teachers were recorded. Onset, prevalence and consequences of MSP (Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire) and QoL (Short Form-36 Health Survey) of teachers with (n = 37) and without (n = 67) MSP during the last 12 months were compared. Results: The prevalence of MSP was 77% for the lifelong period and 36% for the last 12 months. Physical and sociodemographic characteristics, daily employment period and length of standing and sitting were similar between groups (p > 0.05). The most common painful regions were the neck (39%) and the lower back (38%). MSP of these regions was the common reason for seeking healthcare, prevention from activities and taking sick leave. MSP had negative impact, especially on the physical components of QoL (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The results reveal high prevalence of MSP among teachers, as well as its negative impacts on QoL. Especially neck and lower back seem to be the most frequently affected regions of the body. These findings draw attention toward the need for developing strategies to prevent MSP among teachers.

It evaluates and compares the textbooks. The aim of this evaluation is to help teachers with the selection of the most suitable textbook for teaching purposes.
In the paper we present selected outcomes of a research into possible acceptance of inquiry based mathematics education as a method used by primary school teachers. We suggest some objective as well as subjective reasons for explaining its so far low level of usage and aim at identifying obstacles, which prevent the enquiry based techniques in the primary school educational environment.
Profesor architekt Juliusz Żórawski był dla autora artykułu czołowym autorytetem w okresie studiów i asystentury. Autor, na szerszym tle zdarzeń swojego życia, rysuje portret owego mentora, w aspektach: kreatywnego projektowania nowoczesnego, myślenia, głoszenia i pisania o architekturze - zwłaszcza w zakresie formy. Nauczyciela i ucznia łączyły podobne zainteresowania, np. wypowiadanie się poprzez rysunek odręczny, oraz wrażliwość na krajobraz, taki jak przykład Tatry. Dlatego, mimo iż Żórawski był raczej radykalnym modernistą – architektem abstrakcji, autor artykułu zawdzięcza mu swoją postawę bliższą kontekstualizmu, i twórczej - bardziej „gorącej” ekspresji, a przede wszystkim pasję do architektury i jej tworzenia.

Professor architect Juliusz Żórawski was for the author of this paper, a leading personality, during his period of studiea and assistantship. Author on the wider background of events of his life, draws a portrait of his mentor according to: creative Modern projecting, thinking, talking and writing about architecture - especially on the field of form. The teacher and his pupil had similar passions, e.g. expressing oneself by free hand sketching, sensibility towards a landscape, e.g. Tatra Mountains. This is why in spite that Żórawski was rather radical Modernist, the fan of abstraction, the author of this paper owes him his own views closer to the contextualism, and a creative, more “hot” expression, and at the first - his passion towards architecture and its creation.
