The characteristics of transformative learning as a factor of life-long learning have been presented in the article. The paper offers analysis of foreign theorists and practitioners’ views on transformative learning at Canadian universities. A special attention has been paid to the exploration of transformative learning methods and techniques implemented during vocational training at universities. The analysis of theoretical background evidences that the transformative learning concept is based on the theory of person’s transformations depending on the life experience, cognitive development and critical reflection skills. The significance of transformative learning concepts implementation into Ukrainian educational process has been substantiated. The main principles of transformative learning have been described (education, science and manufacture integration, selfrealization through values and assumption transformation, focus on dialogue and critical self-reflection). The key elements of transformative learning have been determined, namely, disoriented dilemma, critical reflection and rational discourse. The importance of nonformal and non-linear educational techniques implementation has been proved.

The purpose of this case study research aims to bridge gaps in the current research by exploring how both veteran and nonveteran adult and higher education (AHE) learners make sense of their educational journey and identity, in and out of the classroom, during their first-year experience (FYE) course at a community college (CC) in the Southwest region. Combining critical incident technique (CIT) and narrative inquiry, the researcher is able to investigate veteran and nonveteran AHE learners’ personal critical incident narrative testimonies to make sense of individual identity and values. Relevant literature on the topic of FYE’s and transition for veteran and nonveteran learners underscore potentially problematic issues in the current scholarship. The theoretical framework from which this research was undertaken, methodology, findings and discussion reveal how nonveteran and veteran AHE learners identify a ‘third side’ or common ground in 1) the fight to pursue AHE, 2) the negotiation of new roles and 3) the influence of family on identity. To conclude, implications for future research and conclusions to advance understandings about veteran AHE learners have been offered. Ultimately, participant responses reveal common or ‘third sides,’ and how these ‘third side’ spaces contribute towards a collaborative learning environment in an FYE. General experiences of transition into the higher education setting for veteran and nonveteran learners are also shared in the findings.

Preparing thoughtful reflective practitioners has become a common concept in the teacher education literature. Prior educational experiences offer excellent opportunity for students to reflect on authentic teaching examples and provide constructive ways to engage in reflective practice. This study examines critical incidents as a tool for developing reflective thinking skills among teacher trainees (N=11). The research on use of critical incidents for training comprised a questionnaire and group discussions. The instrument used for analyzing critical incidents included personal details, factual information and openended questions concerning reasons for and consequences of the incident, associated emotions, reflections connected with it, lessons from this incident and its implications for the future. Overall, although some crucial issues arose, the technique proved useful for training, and was assessed as positive and valuable by the teacher trainees. Some pedagogical implications were formulated regarding problems with understanding the notion of critical incident, previous training of the teacher trainees and the need for a supportive environment.

The author of this article analyses the texts of a video review and tries to answer the question of whether the choice of linguistic devices is linked to the relationship between the sender and the participants of the interaction. The indicators of this relationship are sought by discussing the pragmatic, compositional and stylistic aspect of a new and popular form of critical discourse on a social networking site. The interpretation of the spoken narrative includes a discussion of the linguistic means of evaluation, the determinants of the emotional message and the functions of colloquial lexis. Linguistic activities aimed at interaction with the recipients, such as dialogicality, the personalisation of content and the individualisation of the message, are also important. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the form of self-presentation, type of recipient, channel of communication, and intentionality and heterogeneity of the statements are closely related to the social relations between the participants of the act of communication. The new form of presentation and evaluation involves entering a different communication situation and establishing new social relations with a group of recipients. The aim is not only to evaluate the film work, but also the conveyance of emotions, the dialogue with the viewer, the interest in a new work, the shaping of tastes and the attracting of a large audience. Such an elaborate goal inevitably leads to a change in linguistic devices.

Autorka tego artykułu analizuje teksty wideorecenzji, poszukując odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy wybór środków językowych wiąże się z relacją łączącą nadawcę z uczestnikami interakcji. Wykładników tej relacji szuka, omawiając aspekt pragmatyczny, kompozycyjny i stylistyczny nowej i popularnej na portalu społecznościowym formy dyskursu krytycznego. Interpretacja narracji mówionej obejmuje omówienie językowych środków wartościowania, wykładników przekazu emocjonalnego oraz funkcji leksyki potocznej. Istotne są również działania językowe mające na celu interakcję z odbiorcami: dialogowość, personalizacja treści, indywidualizacja przekazu. Analiza prowadzi do wniosku, że forma autoprezentacji, typ odbiorcy, kanał przekazu, intencjonalność i heterogeniczność wypowiedzi ściśle wiążą się z relacjami społecznymi zachodzącymi między uczestnikami zdarzenia komunikacyjnego. Nowa forma prezentacji i oceny filmu wiąże się bowiem z wejściem w inną sytuację komunikacyjną oraz z nawiązaniem nowych relacji społecznych z grupą odbiorców. Celem jest nie tylko ocena dzieła filmowego, ale również przekazanie emocji, dialog z widzem, zainteresowanie nowym dziełem, kształtowanie gustów oraz pozyskanie dużego grona odbiorców. Tak rozbudowany cel musi prowadzić do zmiany językowych środków przekazu.

This article is a critical reflection on mass awareness in Québec, in the social field, advanced by some of the actors: the State and its agencies, institutions, organizations, etc. In social work, we also try to influence people and motivate them to change their attitudes, behaviors or manner of thinking concerning certain problems. According to which criteria can we say we do awareness and not propaganda? The method used by these actors is questioned by looking into certain messages in circulation. Comparing this method to the techniques of propaganda will aim to understand whether mass awareness is not simply a euphemism that makes it possible to conceal the propaganda and to make the concept itself absent, non-existent and taboo. Is this omission an attempt at erasing the term in order to make manipulation invisible?

Ce bref texte se veut une réflexion critique sur les démarches de sensibilisation de masse mises de l’avant au Québec, dans le champ social, par quelques-uns des acteurs s’y retrouvant : l’État et ses agences, les institutions, les organismes, etc. En travail social, nous en faisons aussi pour influencer les gens et pour les « motiver » à changer d’attitude, de comportement ou de manière de penser par rapport à certaines problématiques. Selon quels critères pouvons-nous affirmer que nous faisons de la sensibilisation et non de la propagande ? Il s’agit ainsi de questionner la méthode utilisée par ces acteurs afin de l’appréhender et cela, à partir de certains messages mis en circulation. La comparer ainsi à celle de la propagande afin de voir si la sensibilisation n’est pas seulement un euphémisme de celle-ci, ce qui permettrait de la dissimuler et de rendre le concept même de propagande absent, inexistant, tabou. Cette omission est-elle une désinscription pour rendre la manipulation invisible ?
