Romanian education system is in constant change, trying to distance itself from the communist approach to education, but also in fast integration with our contemporary new pedagogical methods. In the opinion of some observers especially careful on education, the changes that have occurred in the nearly 27 years since the fall communism in Romania has been too slow. Others believe that in these 27 years has made radical changes Romanian education. A kind of jumps from modern approaches to postmodern approaches, from traditional education methods in education, using innovative pedagogical methods almost most. Distance education has found its place in education specific legislation in 1995, but the first program of distance learning in higher education was launched in the academic year 1998–1999. In theology, the situation was even more different in that it was only in 2005 launched the first distance learning program in the field of theology. This article aims to evaluate and demonstrate that the distance education in theology is the only possible path of development, thus ensuring the future for training religious ministers in Romania.

Contemporary methodological concept of literature teaching aims at preparing students more efficiently for reading, experiencing, independent interpretation and comprehension of texts. It is possible to achieve this by teaching where a teacher systematically plans a range of activities which direct students to active and creative work during reading and thinking about what has been read, in accordance with their interests, needs and psycho-physical possibilities. Though a well-developed methodological approach, teachers may significantly contribute to successful text comprehension using concepts, skills and strategies of reading as an activity, which make the complex process of reading comprehension easier. Explicit teaching using strategies of reading and reading comprehension enables teachers the possibility of monitoring students' achievement in various reading phases. The paper offers an insight into the interaction of teacher-student subjects in implementing reading strategies which improve reading comprehension in primary school education and it make easier.

Drawing the line between political education and indoctrination is extremely difficult in any country. In Germany, for years, the scope of education - for historical reasons - has been widely discussed at the federal and state levels. Today, the goal of political education is primarily to shape a responsible and mature citizen (mündiger Bürger), who understands the processes taking place in the modern world, is able to draw independent conclusions from the changes taking place, and above all, is ready to participate in the political life of the country.

In modern pre-school and early school education there function quite a few curricula. In accordance with the regulation of the minister of national education of June 8, 2009, each of them should comprise methods of attaining objectives in compliance with work individualization. In this connection, I have made a qualitative analysis of selected education programmes from the point of view of methods contained therein in order to answer the following questions: which programmes propose the most interesting methods of work with children and whether the proposed by them methods of instruction are innovative in their character or connected with traditional solutions as well.

Has the time of the COVID-19 pandemic and distance learning permanently changed Polish schools? After catching up with the backlog in curriculum content, will the school system seek to revert to the pre-pandemic status quo? Will the technological solutions forced by this situation and the new competences of teachers and students be utilised? These are the types of questions that occupy researchers and practitioners in education, and research conducted in this field brings us closer to the answers. With this research report, we join the discussion on the distance learning environment and predictions about its near and future consequences. This book comprises the final report of research on the learning process during the COVID-19 pandemic conducted in the 2020/2021 school year by a research team from the Faculty of Educational Studies at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań and the company VULCAN (the operator of one of the most popular electronic school logbooks, i.e. - UONET+). The research findings are presented against the backdrop of the theoretical framework concerning the situation in Poland during the pandemic, the dynamics of the digital world from the learner’s perspective, the theory of technology-assisted learning and the process of shaping digital competences. In this way, we attempt to determine how the experience of distance learning changes the ideas and expectations of pupils towards school, and especially their learning preferences.

The monograph is the product of theoretical and empirical research into the metacognitive and executive functioning of pupils. The purpose of the theoretical part is to characterize the concept of executive functioning and indicate its connection with the related concepts of metacognition and self-regulation. This analysis is placed in a broader, partially historical discourse on thinking and cognition in philosophy and psychology. Further, the subject of attention is the stimulation of the student's cognitive, metacognitive and executive functioning. The SMARTS metacognitive curriculum (a product of the Research Institute for Development and Education, Lexington, Massachusetts, USA) is analyzed. SMARTS was adapted and verified in Slovak conditions within the project VEGA 1/0254/20. The monograph presents the results of an experimental qualitative intervention aimed at determining the impact of the intervention through SMARTS on the student's metacognitive abilities. Based on the results of the intervention, it is possible to think about the positive impact of SMARTS on the behavioral manifestations of the executive functioning of pupils and indirectly on school performance.

The book offers a view of physical modelling in primary school education, especially in mechanics. It has several aims, namely: a description of models in their historical development up to the present day (the emphasis is on applicability to primary school practice); a comparison of selected development environments suitable for the creation of computer models by teachers and pupils; a description of teachers and pupils using and creating models for their own teaching or preparation. Finally, several piloted models that can be applied in school physics are presented. The publication contains three parts: Pedagogical (focusing on the goals in Czech curriculum documents); Theoretical (devoted to digital education and its impact on people and the perception of models by students and teachers); Practical (devoted to the actual creation of models for school practice).

The online environment contains many forms of marketing messages, many of which cannot be easily distinguished from regular content. Due to their lack of experience, children are more susceptible to marketing messages that influence their buying habits. The respondents in our research were children between the ages of 10 and 13, who are both consumers and customers and who play an important role in the purchasing decisions of their families. Investigating the types of online marketing communications children consume, their attitudes towards them and whether and how this influences their purchasing is therefore of paramount importance. We conclude with practical recommendations for schools and parents on how to educate children about online marketing.

For teachers, to be able to fulfill the role “of carrier of change”, he or she must be identified with the idea of education for all, accept responsibility for the education of all his or her students, and be able to recognize and solve any form of exclusion and unequal. At the same time, it turns out that a fundamental factor forming the teachers’ actions in the inclusive classroom is their inner confidence in their own ability to manage individual aspects of educational activities. The tool makes it possible to view the teacher’s work from a distance, learn to reflect on it and create a personal and professional development plan.

An inclusive school strives to involve all actors in the life of the school. Management, faculty, assistants and counselors, pupils, parents and carers are all seen as important partners in education and upbringing. The basis of this partnership is mutual trust and belief in a common goal – the development of the educational potential and personality of each student. The school, which manages to build a positive climate, thus provides a pleasant environment in which all actors feel good and are themselves interested in participating in the life of the school. The publication is based on the best practice of schools in the Czech Republic. We convey their experiences, the challenges they faced and the ways in which they dealt with them. The Summary contains interesting ideas, tips for specific activities and proven measures.

Philosophy with children can be and is an extremely enriching and stimulating activity. Talking with children about topics that encourage thinking can help them develop critical thinking, creative thinking, develop empathy, and also understanding the world around them. The editors of this handbook set themselves a very difficult task, creating a handbook for teachers for philosophizing with children. The topics they have chosen are difficult, which only proves that this manual is good. The problem with philosophy with children today is that it is a relatively desirable discipline and everyone wants to do it. So we often come across the claim that it is about philosophy with children, when in fact it is about something else, something less demanding, something that has nothing to do with philosophy. This is not the case here. This is about philosophy with children in all its essence.
