The article discusses the changes in the look on the process of learning and re-determination of the place of the school in a changing world. Transfer of activity and responsibility for learning on the learning person involves planning the proper learning environment in which the rule will be a model of education based on the findings, collaboration, matched to the individual needs of the student. Therefore, teachers need to „get off the stage”, listen, talk, establish a dialogue with the student, become a member of the world in which the student works. The teacher has to be the one who helps the student learn. It is necessary to focus on students, but with the important role of the teacher.

Zjawisko korepetycji istnieje w Polsce od dawna, jednak wraz z upowszechnieniem społeczeństwa wiedzy, wzrostem znaczenia wykształcenia w świadomości społecznej oraz wprowadzeniem egzaminowania zewnętrznego zjawisko to znacznie się nasiliło. Powszechność korepetycji świadczy o dysfunkcji polskiej szkoły oraz o pogłębiających się nierównościach społecznych. Pomimo skali tego zjawiska ani władze oświatowe, ani politycy nie dostrzegają bądź udają, że nie widzą problemu. Ponadto, w artykule zasygnalizowane zostały najistotniejsze przyczyny i skutki korepetycji.

One of the objectives of the establishment and functioning of the geopark is the protection of geological heritage and operation of the network of geosites. Interesting examples of post-mining land use for the needs of geotourism and geological education come from many European countries, including UK, Germany and Portugal. They show the measurable benefits of the implementation of educational projects, activating communities. This process involves the building of regional identity and identity with the geopark initiative and the activities planned in their area. It is also important economical activity consisting in the creation and support of local business initiatives, harnessing and promoting geological and cultural heritage of the geopark. Article takes into account the problem of integration of local communities in decision-making through the use of mechanisms of operation and management of geopark.

It is possible to formulate some recommendations that can help managers efficiently bring about organizational culture in and technical vocational schools, paying particular attention to intangible, apparently not essential aspects of the organizational environment; to be skeptical of proposals calling for emergency of transplantation or transformation of existing cultures; to try to understand the significance of important organizational symbols (logo, slogan, prospects); to listen to stories that are prevalent in the organization, analyzing who are their heroes and the stories that reflect the culture of the organization; from time to time to introduce organizational rituals to transfer the basic ideals and strengthen the culture; to implement abstract ideals directly in daily activities. Consequently, organizational culture of each educational institution is caused by values, attitudes, beliefs of its members, as well as the peculiarities of life in specific areas and nature of production.

Health is a worth that plays a meaningful role when it comes to a social awareness. It is usually desirable and valued, however it is neglected and not respected repeatedly. Health in terms of worth and its role in individual’s life is essential from health education and health promotion perspective. Education of children and youth aims at developing of appropriate attitudes socially desirable including health. Pro-health attitudes embody an evaluative concept of the term health and an emotional charge. If they are moulded properly they let individuals lead a healthy lifestyle. Presented conents focus on axiological clarification of the term health, as existential value that motivates and encourages to a creative action, giving meaning to a human life. What are health as the worth and the value of health? What role in the system of values does the health play in the individual’s life? This paper attempts to answer there questions based on a review of research literature.

We consider a game in which each of n players is invited to a meeting, and has to decide whether or not to attend the meeting. A quorum has to be at-tained if the meeting is to have the power of making binding decisions. We consider all possible preferences of the players. These preferences are assumed to be the same for all players. Restricting ourselves to symmetric Nash equilibria, we identify three different classes of preferences. In a first class the game has a unique Nash equilibrium, defined in mixed strategies. In a second class the game has two Nash equilibria, defined in pure strategies. In a final class of preferences the game has a Nash equilibrium in pure strategies, and possibly also in mixed strategies. If there is a mixed strategy Nash equilibrium, we show that the equilibrium probability of attending the meeting increases when the quorum increases. Furthermore, if the number of players becomes very large, this equilibrium probability tends to the value of the quorum. Finally, we show how the underlying game structure can also be used in other applications.
