The rapid development of information technology and telecommunications has radically changed the two most important social processes: access to information and communication, allowing the globalization of the economy, culture, education and other areas of society. Priority, undoubtedly, is education, which determines the pace of development in particular countries and the quality of life of individuals. Hypertext and episodic flow of information dramatically changes the way we think and learn. Today, the human cognitive process can no longer be based on the linear structure because shaping knowledge is based on the conscious use of information fragments and episodes that reach the contemporary man in a continuous and often unintentional way. In such conditions, methods and forms of education used for centuries are no longer effective, especially for digital natives who build their intellectual capital.
Blended learning represents a combination of online learning and face-toface instruction. While one group of researchers advocates the use of blended learning in teaching, others are more critical to the use of ICT in education. The paper deals with utilization of blended learning in teaching mathematics at Faculty of Education, Trnava University. From the results it follows that proper integration of ICT into teaching can make the teaching process more efficient.
The present article deals with selected aspects of using mobile devices as tools supporting language acquisition.

The purpose of this study is to present intergenerational learning through the use of ICT (Information & Communications Technology) as a tool with which to reduce early school leaving among immigrant pupils. The first part builds on a review of current literature and contemporary assumptions about learning and intergenerational learning as a particular form of learning. The second part of the study presents the findings from a review of policies on reducing early school leaving among immigrant pupils in Europe. The conclusion focuses on putting forward recommendations for practice with regards to the use of ICT for intergenerational learning in order to improve the educational performance of immigrant pupils.
Od kilkunastu lat mówi się o potrzebie reindustrializacji Europy. Wobec znacznej różnicy w kosztach pracy, warunkiem realizacji tej koncepcji jest wykorzystywanie w przemyśle najnowszych rozwiązań technologii wytwarzania, w tym automatyzacji i robotyzacji. Aby to było możliwe potrzebna jest wykształcona, kompetentna kadra. W Europie jest znaczny potencjał edukacyjny. Jednak od wielu lat nie jest on wykorzystywany w pełni przez Europejczyków. Powodem jest nikłe zainteresowanie młodzieży naukami ścisłymi, a dalej technologicznymi i inżynierskimi. Dlatego konieczne jest podjęcie działań zachęcających młodych ludzi do dalszego kształcenia w obszarze STEM. Istnieją przykłady dobrych praktyk w tym zakresie. Ich wspólnym mianownikiem jest wykorzystanie w kształceniu nowoczesnych narzędzi ICT. W artykule przedstawiono problemy edukacji STEM oraz przegląd i analizę dobrych praktyk z krajów UE.

At the end of the 20th century, a very intensive transfer of production activity from Europe to countries with lower labour costs was observed. Over time, it has been recognized that the negative effects of this phenomenon are more significant than benefits. This applies both to the dependence of Europe on external suppliers, including those from countries with unstable political systems, as well as the labour market. For a dozen or so years, we have been talking about the need to reindustrialize Europe. It's about building new production facilities, as well as the return of factories. These activities must have economic justification. In view of the still considerable difference in labour costs, the prerequisite for the advantage of production installations operating in Europe is the use of the latest manufacturing technology solutions, including automation and robotics. To make this possible, a team is needed. There is considerable educational potential in Europe. This applies to both vocational education at the secondary and university level. However, it has not been used by Europeans for many years. At our universities, specialists from outside the EU are trained. The reason is the low interest of young people in exact sciences, and then in technological and engineering. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to encourage young people to continue their education in the area of STEM. The use of modern ICT tools will be helpful in these activities.
Finland is an unquestionable word leader as far as efficiency of its education system is concerned. Finnish pupils have been top performers in the PISA rankings for many years. Many researchers debate on the reasons of the Finland's success. This paper aims to further analyse the key success factors of the Finnish education system. Special emphasis is put on financial and non-financial inputs explaining the Finland's success. The comparisons with the Polish education system aims to discover those factors which impact and explain the differences between the two countries.
These days computers are a common part of our daily life. Success of each person in this global information age is measured by their ability to obtain, analyze and use information. Schools, as integral part of the global information system, should reflect the current needs for information exchange.
