The Covid-19 pandemic triggered a general implementation of social distancing. According to UNESCO’s data, schools have been closed in 165 countries. Pursuant to a decision of the Polish government of 12 March 2020, classes in educational establishments were suspended throughout Poland. The Internet, viewed from the beginning of its existence as a source of numerous threats and also of unprecedented access to information, became a tool enabling the continuity of educational activity. In the present reality, teachers facing social distance, confronted by challenges at work are also evaluated by students. The present article, based on empirical studies, contains secondary school students’ opinions on the subject of the quality of distance learning. Critical opinions result explicitly from the fact that they are expressed by people having “digital attachment to modern technology” and possess heir own equipment with unlimited network access. This unprecedented state of emergency emphasizes most teachers’ unpreparedness for switching overnight to the online mode, which should not come as a surprise to anybody, because reliable preparation for distance classes involves not only the skill but also planning and proper preparation of teaching materials. Importantly, during online learning students begin to miss other people and interaction with their teachers, which emphasizes the importance of direct human relations, unduly underrated in “normal reality”. Regardless of various opinions on the subject of distance learning, it is obvious that forced switching to online learning can nd even be a catalyst of change in the educational field.
Wilno jest tradycyjnie miastem wielokulturowym. Historia, zwłaszcza w XX wieku przyniosła temu miejscu wiele radykalnych zmian w zakresie przynależności państwowej czy transformacji systemowej. Miało to swoje odbicie w polityce monumentalnej. W artykule poddano analizie przykładowe pomniki wileńskie, które w zamierzeniu inicjatorów ich budowy miały być instrumentem zasadniczej zmiany społecznej, ale nie okazały się skutecznym mechanizmem oddziaływania oraz te które zyskały rangę dzięki nadawanemu mu przez odbiorców znaczeniu. Przy tym podstawową perspektywą analiz było oddziaływanie wychowawcze.
The global pandemic-induced crisis has caused the differences that exist between the sexes in many areas of life to become more extreme. Apart from its influence on mental health, the necessity to adjust to the obligation of social distancing has also influenced the possibilities of students’ development as regards relationships. It has also limited their ability to earn money, which directly affects one’s economic status and other related areas such as the availability of healthcare, etc. This study, which aims to present the psychosocial state of women who have been studying in Poland during the pandemic, shows that it is women, more than men, who have experienced the changes caused by the pandemic, both in the context of how they function and their fears. Life satisfaction amongst female students depends largely on their economic and material independence, and any hardships experienced influence, more often than in the case of men, the emotions that are dominant in women. The results of the study clearly show that in the long run establishing a network of psychological support for women will be necessary as a response to their psychosocial health, which has worsened during the pandemic. Additionally, educated people who, in these difficult times, have not had the possibility to earn money or have had to accept jobs below their competencies (which may also significantly affect their life satisfaction), will be in need of support.
The ability of a society to utilise the creative human potential of all its members, including those with disabilities, is an important indicator of the development of society and the economy and the level of education, quality and performance of the education system. Our professional article enriches the current issue of inclusive education and inclusive special pedagogy in the Czech Republic (CR) with a description of the qualities of an inclusive university environment. The aim of the paper is to introduce the reader to the inclusive university environment in the Czech Republic using the example of good practice at the University of Pardubice. The following methodological approaches were used in the preparation of this article: a) a content analysis of legislation, strategic documents currently in force in the Czech Republic and available professional sources; b) quantitative design in the preparation of statistical overviews = the number of students with specific needs (SN) at the University of Pardubice (UPa) in 2012–2020 and financing the increased costs of study for students with specific needs at UPa in 2012–2020.
