Author(s): Ewa Jaskółowa / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 23/2014

The author puts forward arguments for the need of developing interpretation skills as a basis for a proper understanding of the world. These skills should be cultivated by teachers who are well prepared for this function in terms of substance and methodology. The article presents research on the interpretative skills of first years’ students of Polish Studies, compared with didactics of literature classes exam results. It thus reveals the increase in interpretative skills, but also the need of change in the teacher education system.

Jestem przywiązana do tradycji Humboldtowskiej, tym bardziej, że w takim systemie studiowałam wiele lat temu. Idea łączenia badań i dydaktyki była realizowana na dwa sposoby: poprzez charakter zajęć – głównie monograficznych – oraz poprzez udział, a raczej pomoc w badaniach prowadzonych w Katedrze.

Uniwersytet Papieski Jana Pawła II w Krakowie w ustawodawstwie państwa polskiego

Author(s): Jan Dyduch / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2012

Keywords: the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Cracow; Church; Polish law; Benedict XVI; parliament

On April 19th, 2009 Pope Benedict XVI erected the Ponti cal University. e next vital step was to introduce the university, that is, both the fact of its existence and its activity, into Polish law. e required procedure was held in both chambers of the Polish Parliament in coope- ration with the Polish Government. e special nancial law was enacted by the Sejm (380 members of the chamber were in favor, 412 were voting), and by the Senat (86 members of the chamber were in favor, 87 were voting). e law in question recognized the decision of the Pope and introduced the name of the academic institution, which is the Ponti cal University of John Paul II in Cracow, into Polish law system and granted the university funds from the public nance according to the same rules, which apply to the public universities in Poland.

“The university is absolutely important.” On Stefan Sawicki’s Idea of the Catholic universitas studiorum

"UNIWERSYTET JEST NAJWAŻNIEJSZY”. Stefana Sawickiego idea katolickiej universitas studiorum

Author(s): Henryk Duda / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2017

Keywords: tertiary education; university; Catholic university; research fi elds within a Catholic university; Stefan Sawicki; tertiary education in modern-day Poland

The article discusses the publications by Stefan Sawicki (a scholar born in 1927) on the idea of the Catholic university. According to Sawicki, the most important issue in this fi eld is the relation between science and faith (ratio et fides), and the resulting question about the university’s identity, in particular about the marks of a Catholic university. The other issues, such as procedures of giving names to Catholic universities, their research fi elds, the proper size of a Catholic university, and the balance between the university’s openness to ‘others’ and its guarding its identity, stem directly from this crucial issue. While Stefan Sawicki’s writings will not provide a ready-made answer to the question of how a Catholic university should be structured or how it should function at a given time in history, they may inspire a “reflection and debate on what the university of this type should (and can) be like today, in particular in modernday Poland” (Stefan Sawicki, On the Catholic University, Lublin: Towarzystwo Naukowe KUL, 2012, 8). Sawicki adds: “It might be commendable not to limit the debate in question to the general formulas of the Catholicity of a university, but rather to point how the Catholicity in question should be implemented in the academic practice” (ibidem). The questions raised by Sawicki pertain to an issue which cannot be disregarded also outside the scope of his work.

Report from the National Scientific Conference "Investigative analysis" University of Opole, Faculty of Law and Administration, 13-14 October 2016.

Sprawozdanie z Ogólnopolskiej Konferencji Naukowej „Analiza śledcza” Uniwersytet Opolski, Wydział Prawa i Administracji, 13–14 październik 2016 r.

Author(s): Anna Ibek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 2/2016

For several years, the Polish legal community has been increasing interest in new methods and tools that help law enforcement agencies and the judiciary in developing - broadly and not completely strictly - the evidence gathered in a given criminal case. There is even talk of the need to look differently from the methodological and logical plane to the cognitive processes taking place in the minds of process decision makers. This perspective is also expanded by the interest in artificial intelligence for detection and evidence purposes. It is this problem which focuses on the so-called The investigation was devoted to the two-day National Scientific Conference organized by the Criminalistics Laboratory of the Faculty of Law and Administration at the University of Opole. It should be added that this was one of the first important debates in Poland on a modern approach to the analysis of evidence and related issues.

University – not just Polish. One of the last traces of the Jagiellonian Republic – the Stefan Batory University in Vilnius still waiting for its honest monograph

Uniwersytet nie tylko polski. Jeden z ostatnich śladów Rzeczypospolitej Jagiellońskiej – Uniwersytet Stefana Batorego w Wilnie – nadal czeka na swoją rzetelną monografię. Magdalena Gawrońska-Garstka, Uniwersytet Stefana Batorego w Wilnie. Uczelnia

Keywords: Stefan Batory University in Vilnius;Vilnius University;Second Polish Republic;Lithuania;Vilnius;Polish History 1918–1939;History of Lithuania 1918–1939;History of Science

The paper contains a review of M. Gawrońska-Garstka’s book about Stefan Batory University in Vilnius. The book was published in 2016 and, in my opinion, can’t be called monograph, due to several shortcomings. The author did not use the basic sources. After analyzing the “Bibliography” it become obvious that 80% of the signatures from the Lithuanian archive (f. 175) are not cited in the text. The language of the peer-reviewed book is infantile. Sentences are general and says nothing new. Style is illogical. Lack of ability to put up thesis and draw conclusions is blatant. Therefore, the book should not be considered scientific work as it contributing nothing to the history of USB.

Catholic university in the thought of Saint John Paul II and J. Ratzinger

Uniwersytet katolicki w myśli św. Jana Pawła II i J. Ratzingera

Author(s): Imelda Chłodna-Błach / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 27/2017

Keywords: university; academy; truth; freedom; faith; reason; Christian identity;

The article introduces two complementary visions of the university: Saint John Paul II and J. Ratzinger. John Paul II noted that the Catholic university shared with all other universities the common love of searching for the truth, exploring it and proclaiming it, but its special task - what distinguishes them - is existential unification in the intellectual work of the two orders of reality, which are too often contrasted, as if they were contradictory; these orders are, on the one hand, the search for the truth, and on the other, the certainty that the source of truth is already known. The Pope also stressed the role that Catholic universities play in the Church. The Catholic university appears as the initiator of a fruitful dialogue with people of all cultures, which lead to their enrichment and renewal through the power contained in the Gospel. This task, as the Pope pointed out, turns out to be particularly important and urgent in today’s world of rapid progress in science and technology. Cardinal J. Ratzinger made his reflections on the mission of the Catholic university in the context of contrasting academicism with utilitarianism and pragmatism. He pointed to the basic elements constituting the university. They are: dialogue, truth, freedom to the truth and service to the truth. In addition Ratzinger showed and explained the inseparable connection between academicism and contemplation (including contemplation of the supreme being - God) and the importance of both of them in the full realization of human existence.

Library-University. National Ossoliński Institute in Stanisław Wasylewski’s memoirs

Biblioteka-uniwersytet. Zakład Narodowy im. Ossolińskich we wspomnieniach Stanisława Wasylewskiego

Author(s): Dorota Kielak / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 8 (11)/2018

Keywords: Ossolineum; Stanisław Wasylewski; Lwów; Stanisław Łempicki; bibliofilstwo; Ossolineum; Stanisław Wasylewski; Lviv; Stanisław Łempicki; bibliophily

The sketch presents an interpretation of the memories by Stanisław Wasylewski, describing his work as a volunteer, scholarship holder, and then assistant to the National Ossolinski Institute in Lviv in 1905−1910. On canvas of those memories, a question was posed about how the mission of the library established for the protection of Polish cultural heritage of the time of annexation influenced the perception and experience of its employee. The reconstruction of Wasylewski’s ‘ossolian biography’ helped to discover the categories of the writer’s thinking about the library as a university, which is created by a community of scholars and learners, in which the most important currents of national culture cross, and thus the task of forming a man respecting cultural heritage is fulfilled.

University, or About “Stubborn Insistence on the Universal Rules of Good Use of the Intellect”

Uniwersytet, czyli o "upartym obstawaniu przy regułach dobrego używania intelektu"

Author(s): Anna Giza / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2019

Keywords: University; mission; globalisation; educational market; rationality; rationality constraint; instrumental values

University is of a dual nature. On the one hand, it is a corporation of people (scientists) sharing common values and respecting common methodology of examining and reasoning. In this respect, University exists “for a purpose”, which is discovering the truth and passing it to others. On the other hand, it is an organisation that needs resources to exist and function; being linked to the external world makes university vulnerable to heterogeneous influences. The immanent tension between mission and mundane organisational needs puts autonomy at the centre of the university idea; the pressures on universities were quite common throughout history. However, the contemporary pressure is not only exceptionally strong, but also specific: I call it a “rationality constraint”, i.e. forcing universities to improve performance measured by the universal “productivity metrics”. The level of performance indicators influences the inflow of various resources – good scientists with high achievements, students, money, etc.; rescheduling attention from the mission to “performance indicators” is thus perfectly rational. The tendency to focus on effectiveness results in making the university mission instrumental against organisational goals and in weakening its autonomy. Moreover, it is Academia itself that stands behind this tendency: the external world does not force it upon us, it only establishes the payoff matrix.
