Příspěvek se zabývá aplikací myšlenek Jana Amose Komenského, jež vtělil do svého sedmidílného pojednání pod názvem Všeobecná porada o nápravě věcí lidských, do penitenciaristiky. Přestože se Komenský přímo vězeňstvím nezabýval, Všeobecná porada nabízí hodně styčných ploch, jež lze s úspěchem využít v penologii a penitenciaristice.

The article presents the application of Jan Amos Comenius`s ideas, comprised in the seven-part treatise entitled „General Consultation of an Improvement of All Things Human“, into the penitentiary studies. Although Comenius did not deal directly with prisons, the „General Consultation...“ offers many areas of interaction that can be successfully used in penology and penitentiary.

In the paper I resume some problems concerning the teaching of historiography at the Faculties of History in Poland. Having thirty hours to present historiography from Antiquity to Present Times, the Polish scholars must answer to the following questions: is it necessary to discuss with students every stage of the development of history, or maybe would it be bett er to focus on the twentieth century historical schools and tendencies? In what proportion the national history should be included in the universal one? Based on my personal teaching experience, I try to show how that kind of dilemas could be resolved.

The article critically examines the modernization of the Higher Education (HE) sector from the perspective of reflexive modernization. The source of radical change of HE in Poland was the neoliberal institutional solution, opening HE institutions to privatization, competition and marketization and liberating them from the heteronomous bureaucratic structure legitimized by the conditions of the previous system. To explain the nature of the changes in Higher Education, three analytical categories of reflexive modernization are used as heuristic tools: individualization, risk and reflexivity.

This paper investigates certain problems encountered when technology-based instruction is employed in teaching English as a foreign language. Three EFL specialists from Saudi Arabia are interviewed and their insights on solving those problems are presented. Many academics feel ill-equipped to utilize new technologies in teaching because they are technophobes who fear or dislike technology or do not have sufficient experience in employing computer applications. Other academics found technology-based teaching time-consuming, leading to increased workload, and demanding high levels of technical support. Solutions to face the reluctance to engage in electronic forms of teaching include the provision of instructional support to provide faculty with the necessary technical skills, changing college policies to consider teaching with technology an activity for which faculty receive credit, improving the reward system to motivate faculty to better productivity and higher performance, and addressing critical work-related issues, such as workload.

The purpose of this study is to identify the perceptions of instructors of internationalization in higher education. The sample of this study consists of 325 faculty members working at four different universities. The data were collected using a scale developed by the researchers. According to findings scale points of the female instructors are better than the male instructors in the foreign language and academic sub-scales. It is seen that perception level of the instructors who were stayed in a foreign country for their education are better than the ones who were not in the academic sub-scale. It is also observed that perceptions of instructors who went to a congress or symposium abroad are better than the ones who did not go to a congress and symposium abroad in the foreign language dimension.

The use of digital video has gained a prominent position in enhancing not only aural reception but also active production skills in the language classroom. The present paper seeks to share a set of three lessons plans based on the use of educational mini-videos that enhance the development of students' oral skills through an active learning methodology. Though implemented as a part of the ESP undergraduate course for engineering students at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), these lesson plans can be easily adapted to other ESP/EFL/ESL situations. We aim at encouraging language teachers to use innovative ways to integrate educational videos into their teaching practice around the globe.

Higher education institutions in the United States have historically been tasked with the responsibility of scaffolding the moral development of students. Although empirical evidence suggests that attending colleges and universities can foster students’ moral development and reasoning, the effect of online higher education remains mainly unknown. The current study has examined the effect of two online psychology courses, Developmental Psychology and Research Methods Lab, and their respective assignments on students’ moral competence. The findings revealed that students’ moral competence in both courses was improved; this improvement was partly attributed to online group discussions in the Developmental psychology course. No other assignments were found to be significant contributors of students’ moral competence. Limitations and implications of the findings were discussed.

The objective of the study is to apply eight hypotheses of the socioanalysis for the interpretation and critical social reading of the "self-narratives" of deaf applicants to Higher Education at the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS-Brazil). It is located in the theoretical-methodological field of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), and Deaf Studies (DS). We will analyze a narrative of a deaf subject, corpus collected in 2014, in the college entrance examination for the Brazilian Sign Language Course (LIBRAS), and adopt this methodological guideline, to define object of study; identify areas of interfaces that meet the objectives; select the categories of each area of interface; establish the dialogue between categories; identify the social meanings constructed in the discourse. The result confirms the role of socioanalysis in seeking to unveil how the practice of social relations and (re)construction of their identities in the struggle for citizenship rights articulate in the deaf individual's life.

The research problem described in the title of the article can be formulated as a question: by what means is the idea of the University’s social responsibility implemented at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology in its operation? We are talking here about the idea of sensu largo, because universities’ social responsibility requires an even more complete theoretical conceptualization. This idea refers to the theoretically recognized, complex, constantly changing, and multi-directional and network cooperation between the University and the heterogeneous environment. The conclusions of this submission may be a stimulus for further research on the developing concept of university social responsibility. The first part of the article is based on the analysis of the literature of the subject, while the second part examines documents.

This study examines the compatibility of higher education in Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) with labour market requirements. It focuses on three Central European universities and explores the importance of soft skills for students and employers. The study also investigates the impact of work experience on academic achievement and student’s satisfaction with their chosen field of study. From October to December 2022, a survey was conducted on 1,382 SSH students from the University of Hradec Králové (Czech Republic), Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan (Poland), and Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra (Slovakia). Using a two-stage sampling procedure, the survey was conducted using Computer-Assisted Web Interviewing (CAWI) on the Qualtrics XM platform. In education, students focus on critical thinking and problem-solving skills, while employers value these skills as well as interpersonal communication and creativity. The research emphasises the importance of including soft skills in academic programs to meet job market needs. It highlights the gap between students’ skills and employers’ expectations, calling for universities to adapt their offerings. It also argues for support systems for working students and ongoing assessment of educational pathways. This study aims to increase understanding of the relationship between higher education and labour markets in Central Europe, an area often overlooked in academic research.

In a society increasingly mediated by technology, the medium has created unparalleled opportunities. As a result, it has refocused educators’ attention on how technological literacy is both an essential learning outcome in all higher education programs, and the intermediary, the means to achieve the digital competences expected from employees. In the field of English for Specific Purposes, and at a time when technology is perceived to enable quick and effective access to a vast number of sources of information and knowledge, teaching a language confronts teachers and students with divergent views that converge into what we perceive to be interconnected paths. We critically reflect upon these interconnected paths in order to obtain further insights on how technology, namely Machine Translation and Computer-Aided Translation, is perceived by business communicators who are learning English in an ESP environment. Within the premises that translation is an act of intercultural communication, our case study addresses mirrored perceptions of the English language, the act of translation, and the use of technological tools. Our study draws on both perspectives and discusses how mirrored images of students and teachers converge through project-based approaches, rooted in practical, short visual tasks with a clear and immediately visible purpose.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching effects, not only on public health but also on the global economy, social interactions, and daily life. It has highlighted the importance of global cooperation and the need for more investment in public health and emergency preparedness. The pandemic also exposed weaknesses in many countries’ educational management systems; it has forced many higher education institutions to adopt new teaching and learning methods to minimize the risk of transmission. This resulted in the need for comparative studies to evaluate the effectiveness of different pedagogical responses and to find a common ground on the most effective practices and responses that would help higher education institutions better prepare for similar challenges in the future. The present study provides a comparative study and outcomes through a record of the pedagogical responses by higher education authorities in two completely different contexts (Algeria and the UK). The authors of the paper beforehand adopted a desktop analysis approach through valid and first-hand reliable sources like government and university official releases. This research methodology would involve a systematic and rigorous approach to data collection and analysis to ensure the reliability and validity of the research findings. Through coding and thematic analysis of the collected data, the researchers concluded that the efficiency of the responses and decisions adopted by higher education institutions varied depending on a range of factors such as the institution's resources, infrastructure, and student population. However, the pandemic highlighted the need for agile and serious responses to ensure the safety and well-being of students and the campus community.

At the present stage of the reception of Foucault’s ideas, various theoretical and methodological trends coexist, within which the concepts of Michel Foucault are used fruitfully in empirical research. One of them is discourse studies understood as an inter- and transdisciplinary research area. This article distinguishes and describes three post-Foucauldian strategies of discourse analysis, the combined use of which in one research project is a proposal to integrate concepts scattered in Foucault’s various works. The strategies distinguished (archaeological, alethurgical, and dispositif) are characterized by the different analytical categories, understanding of discourse, and its relations with knowledge and power. The article presents selected results of the complementary use of concepts such as knowledge formation, alethurgy, confession, or the dispositif in the empirical research on the reform of higher education in Poland.

The gaming sector is currently, with about 3 billion gamers worldwide, one of the best developing segments in society, not negatively affected even by the COVID-19 pandemic. As the interest in working in this sector increases, so does the interest in higher education in this field. Although the first steps in establishing game studies on the academic grounds date back to the 1980s, this study field institutionalization beginnings can be talked about since 2000 with occurring the ludology definition and the emergence of the first game-oriented scientific journals. Despite the difficult start, in the present, studying digital games is not so limited, partial as well as full degree study programs appear at universities all around the world, but high school graduates are often not aware of these options, even in their nearest surroundings. The study aims to identify the level of awareness of the possibilities within higher education in the field of digital game studies and to determine the attitudes of potential future university students to this field of education in Slovakia that in recent years has significantly eliminated the gap between the level of the Slovak and the Western (or world) gaming sector after the fall of the Iron Curtain. In the study, the authors respond to the three main problems via research completed with a representative sample of respondents. Data show that the level of awareness about these study options if is insufficient, but not lower than the awareness about other study programs. The discovered attitudes are of little consistence and their valency tends from neutral to slightly negative. However, statistics show that respondents perceive the study program of digital gaming as potentially pleasant and at the same time, there is a significant correlation between playing digital games and displaying positive attitudes towards potential studying of the field in the target group.

Scientists from five Swedish universities were interviewed about open second cycle education. Research groups and scientists collaborate closely with industry, and the selection of scientists for the study was made in relation to an interest in developing technology-enhanced open education, indicated by applications for funding from the Knowledge Foundation 2013. The study is founded on Conole’s (2012) seven organizational purposes for open education, Coursera’s eight models (Daniel, 2012), and Clarke’s (2013) four strategies for open education, and raises the question whether open education and MOOCs might be a way to reinforce research collaborations and research environments. The researchers displayed a positive attitude towards expanding the technology-enhanced learning and openness, and foresee few problems with openness when industry participates in teaching. Nonetheless, the scientists’ operating models and strategies for developing technology-enhanced learning and open education, are vague. Conclusively: although the interest is obvious, in order to succeed with technology-enhanced open education and strengthening the research groups, the variables for purposes, operating models, strategies, pedagogic models, and obstacles need to be calibrated and made more deliberated, preferably in collaboration between the scientists and industry.

Higher Education increases flexibility with online learning solutions. Nevertheless, dropout rates in online university are large. Among the reasons, one aspect deserving further study is students’ Time Perspective (TP), which has been studied in onsite HE. It is necessary to know the TP profile of the growing population of online students, and consider its relation with students’ preference and convenience factors for choosing online or onsite contexts. In this study, learners’ TP in an online and an onsite Catalan HE institutions are compared. Results show that HE students present a high future orientation in general, while online students showed a higher orientation to past negativism. Basic guides are given to help institutions and students in the choice of the better suited learning context according to their TP.

Artykuł poświęcony jest reformowaniu szkolnictwa wyższego w Polsce w latach 1989–2009 a ściślej mówiąc regulacjom prawnym, które bądź to weszły w życie, bądź jako projekty nowelizacji prawa wskazywały propozycje zmian w funkcjonowaniu szkolnictwa wyższego na przestrzeni ostatnich 20 lat. Zarysowane w ten sposób zostały dzieje reform pozwalających na stopniowe modelowanie systemu szkół wyższych równolegle do zmian gospodarczych, społecznych i politycznych w Polsce, a także na realizację Procesu Bolońskiego i umiejscowienie się w europejskiej przestrzeni edukacyjnej. Celem artykułu jest zilustrowanie procesu reformowania szkolnictwa wyższego także z perspektywy debaty publicznej, która towarzyszyła stanowieniu prawa w tym obszarze. Głosy bezpośrednio zainteresowanych reformami reprezentantów środowiska akademickiego, zazwyczaj krytyczne, dotyczą nie tylko zasadności wielu z proponowanych zmian, ale przede wszystkim dowodzą słabości samej reformy – kolejności podejmowanych w kierunku przygotowania reformy działań, wadliwego przygotowania dokumentów rządowych, sposobu przeprowadzania konsultacji społecznych. W szerszym kontekście wskazuje się na słabość polityki edukacyjnej państwa w odniesieniu do szkolnictwa wyższego

The aim of the Bologna Process is, amongst others, to improve the mobility of students in Higher Education. The Erasmus programme helps students study at other European universities, get to know other countries, live a different culture (folklore, food, language, etc.), develop their autonomy and mature as adults. The international seminar ’The improvement of the mobility through the collaborative exchange’ took place in Cadiz, Spain, in May 2015. The Universities of Glasgow (The United Kingdom), Madeira (Portugal), Gazi (Turkey), Linz(Austria), Zielona Gora (Poland) and Cadiz (Spain) participated in this seminar. The representatives of the countries expressed their concern regarding the problems students may encounter during the mobility. The literature has pointed out that economic, social and academic tension students experience may, in some cases, generate or exacerbate mental disorders (Bradley, 2000), generate depression and anxiety (Russell et al. 2010, Ying, Han 2006), and even manifest itself in somatic symptoms (Mori 2000). This might imply classroom absence and drug abuse as side effects. This study describes the positive experiences of five students from the University of Cadiz Erasmus by virtue of a collaborative exchange among universities, detailing the measures taken by host universities to address potential stress issues.

Celem procesu bolońskiego jest, między innymi, poprawa mobilności studentów w ramach szkolnictwa wyższego. Program Erasmus pomaga w studiowaniu na uniwersytetach europejskich, ułatwia poznawanie innych krajów i życia w obrębie innej kultury (poznawanie folkloru, kuchni, języka itd.), wspomaga także rozwijanie autonomii i dojrzałości młodych osób do dorosłego funkcjonowania. W Kadyksie w Hiszpanii w maju 2015 odbyło się międzynarodowe seminarium pt. "Poprawa mobilności poprzez wymianę opartą na współpracy". Uczestnikami byli pracownicy uniwersytetów z Wielkiej Brytanii (Glasgow), Portugalii (Madeira), Turcji (Ankara), Austrii (Linz), Polski (Zielona Góra) oraz Hiszpanii (Kadyks).Przedstawiciele tych krajów wyrazili troskę w związku z problemami, których studenci mogą doświadczać w związku z mobilnością edukacyjną. Literatura przedmiotu pokazuje, że napięcia ekonomiczne, społeczne i różnice edukacyjne to doświadczenia, które mogą, w niektórych przypadkach generować u studentów takie problemy jak: nasilanie zaburzeń psychicznych (Bradley 2000) i występowanie depresji i lęków (Russell i inni 2010, Ying, Han 2006), pojawianie się objawów somatycznych (Mori 2000), przyjmowanie narkotyków, zbyt częste nieobecności na zajęciach. Niniejsze opracowanie opisuje pozytywne doświadczenia studentów, którzy wzięli udział w mobilności w pięciu uczelniach partnerskich Uniwersytetu Cádiz z wyszczególnieniem środków podjętych przez goszczące uniwersytety w celu rozwiązania potencjalnie stresujących dla studentów problemów.

Podstawową tezą artykułu jest stwierdzenie niebezpiecznej, zdaniem Autora, dominacji w obrębie refleksji na temat roli szkolnictwa wyższego we współczesnej Europie ekonomistycznego dyskursu zorientowanego na gospodarkę, sprowadzającego wszelkie kształcenie uniwersyteckie do kształcenia zawodowego. W refleksji tej natomiast marginalizowany jest dyskurs zorientowany na demokrację, wskazujący na rolę wiedzy i instytucji wiedzy w budowaniu stabilnej demokracji w Europie. Autor wskazuje, że „Deklaracja Bolońska” ową prodemokratyczną funkcję instytucji szkolnictwa wyższego uznawała za jedną z funkcji podstawowych, jednak z czasem perspektywa ta została całkowicie zagubiona. Autor postuluje przywrócenie równowagi w tym zakresie, ponowne przemyślenie roli wiedzy w procedurach demokracji deliberacyjnej oraz jej znaczenia w przezwyciężaniu napięć i konfliktów, przede wszystkim tych związanych z istniejącymi uprzedzeniami, stereotypami i postawami ksenofobicznymi.

The aim of this article is to highlight the dangerous domination of economy-oriented discourse in contemporary analysis on the role of tertiary education in Europe. As a consequence of this domination, the Author discusses the attempt to relegate all tertiary education to the area of professional education and pass over the role of knowledge in the democratic processes in silence. In contrast with this one-sidedness, The Bologna Declaration recognizes the role of education in stabilizing European democracy as very important. The Author calls for restoration of the balance in academic and political reflection on the role of tertiary education and of knowledge in overcoming the social tensions connected with prejudice, stereotypes and xenophobic attitudes.
