Higher Education in Central Europe and its Impact on Countries' Competitiveness

Author(s): Hana Machková / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2016

Today, twenty-six years after the fall of the iron curtain, we can see the success of CEE universities in prestigious international rankings like QS or Financial Times in the case of business education. The main obstacle for international competitiveness remains the underfunding of higher education. The donation culture still does not exist, the taxation systems do not encourage sponsoring of companies enough and the public expenditures are not sufficient. As for private schools, in most of cases, they have not yet succeeded in building an image of excellence, and that is why public universities belong to the key elements of higher education in all CEE countries. Thus, there is a big challenge for the CEE higher education to compete on the global market and to become a place to study for excellent international students.

Aggressive Behaviour and Bullying as Most Frequent Educational Problems at Schools and Possibilities of Prevention

Author(s): Katarína Cimprichová Gežová / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

At primary and also secondary schools we are facing more and more often psychological and physical attacks on pupils and teachers. It includes various insults, fights among pupils, ridicule, destruction of school property or personal objects of pupils and teachers. The behaviour of such individuals is influenced by several factors: negative family environment, inadequate spending of leisure time, influence of peer groups and influence of media – television, Internet. Children often witness aggressive behaviour in their families and consider it a natural part of life and they often adopt the incorrect behavioural patterns of their parents. The behaviour of individuals is also influenced by changes that have taken place in our society over the last decades (unemployment, rising divorce rate, criminality, drug addiction and other socio-pathological phenomena). The rising brutality and lower age of attackers and aggressors is an alarming fact for our society. That is the reason why various disciplines such as pedagogy, psychology, sociology, criminology and others, deal with these issues. Our goal is to point out the aggressive behaviour, bullying and prevention of these socio-pathological phenomena by pupils at schools.

Zatrudnienie osób 50+ i z niepełnosprawnościami w polskim sektorze budowlanym – elementy diagnozy

Author(s): Agnieszka Brytan-Jędrzejowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2022

Budownictwo zalicza się do sektorów polskiej gospodarki najmocniej borykających się z problemem deficytu wykwalifikowanych kadr, który w długim okresie może stanowić jego poważną barierę rozwojową, a także skutkuje rosnącą presją kosztową w obszarze wynagrodzeń pracowniczych. Jedną z potencjalnych recept na wspomniane wyzwanie może być skuteczniejsze przyciąganie do branży pracowników w wieku 50+ oraz lepsze wykorzystanie w niej osób z orzeczoną niepełnosprawnością. Porównania europejskie pokazują, iż potencjał w tym zakresie jest przez krajową branżę budowlaną dalece niewykorzystany. W opinii firm budowlanych znacznie większe szanse, a mniej liczne potencjalne bariery, wiążą się z zatrudnianiem pracowników w wieku 50+ aniżeli osób z niepełnosprawnościami, w kontekście których poważnym wyzwaniem jest m.in. wymagający charakter pracy w analizowanym sektorze.

Ülkemizde Modern Dönemde Öğretmen Yetiştiren Kurumların İncelenmesi

Author(s): Mehmet Türker Sarı,Mesut Asarkaya / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 18/2023

In this study, it is aimed to examine the institutions that train teachers in the modern period in our country. One of the basic and indispensable elements of education is the teacher. The education of the teacher, who is called a teacher or teacher in history, is important in terms of the quality and efficiency of education. In the Ottoman education system, madrasas have maintained their place from the foundation years of the state until the last periods. Even II. Even during the constitutional period, reform studies were carried out in madrasas. Madrasas have continued their functioning within themselves, provided education in various branches and degrees, and teachers have been trained from madrasas. While education is continued at the primary school level in Siberian schools, ibtidaiye schools, which provide education for the new method, have also taken their place in our educational history. The presence of teachers trained in the old-fashioned way in Ibtidaiye schools affected the quality of education and thus it was difficult to achieve the desired goals in education. Therefore, the distinction between old and new in terms of educational programs and methods required the training of qualified and desirable teachers. In our educational history, the beginning of the spread of the new method during the modernization period has brought a mobility to education. We understand this from the works done by the historical figures of that period and the works they wrote. The source of the profession of the Istanbul Darûlmuallimini, which was first opened in 1848, was the rushdie branch, and graduates were made rushdie teachers. The full name of the school is Dersaadet Darûlmuallimin-i Rüştiyesi. Sultan Abdulmecid stated that education should be given importance in order for the issues mentioned in the Edict of Tanzimat to be successful. It is also understood that the Sultan's sensitivity to education manifested itself in practice from the opening of darûlöğretmen during his period.

Berufssorgen ungarischer Jungakademiker

Author(s): András Bánki / Language(s): German Issue: 04-OEA/1998

As is well known, the admission of qualified young people to higher education is also limited in Eastern European countries and depends on various circumstances: One of the factors is the limited number of places available at the universities in the country. In addition, it has not been possible - as in other countries - to determine with any degree of accuracy the demand that business needs for young academics. As a result, many graduates do not get into the jobs they dreamed of, i. H. the economy is often unable to provide them with a job that matches their education and their desire for social advancement, which in turn creates dissatisfaction among young graduates. Another consequence of not obtaining certain positions is that academics switch to non-specialist professions, which, however, bring in money - more than the earnings of often underpaid university graduates. The second article reports on this (p. A 245ff.), while the author of the first article advises high school graduates not to study and wants to make a kind of further training course for skilled workers palatable to them.
