Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) - the End of Conventional Education?

Author(s): Tímea Ferencz / Language(s): English Issue: 08/2015

With its course on Critical Thinking - Reason and Fair Play in Communication that began in November 2014, the Maastricht School of Magamenet Romania jumped on the bandwagon and became the first Eastern-European country to offer a massive online open course (MOOC). As their name suggests, MOOCs are online courses offered by various educational establishments (especially from the United States and Western Europe) to a large number of students at no cost whatsoever. As usually the case with advances in technology deployable in the educational system, this new opportunity was seized by many frontrunner universities, so much so that the question arose: will this be the end of conventional education? The present paper analyzes different types of MOOCs in terms of their pedagogy, as well as the challenges MOOCs have to face before they can have a significant impact on the educational system.

„Piotruś Pan” i "wieczna dziewczynka” – w kalejdoskopie odraczania dorosłości

Author(s): Józef Kargul / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

In the paper, I outline a tolerably complete range of the ways in which adulthood is deferred, focusing in more detail on the two signalled in the title. On my take, the deferral of adulthood implies the following: non-assumption of social family roles by biologically and legally adult individuals; refusal to live outside the family of origin and earn one’s own subsistence; avoidance of vocational tasks, in particular those involving responsibility for others; avoidance of thoughtful engagement in social and/or political activity; and failure to control one’s emotions so as to react adequately and relevantly to the events at hand. I quote statistics indicating young people’s non-involvement in stable vocational activity and their tendency to „prolong childhood” by not moving from the family home and living off their kin. I highlight young adults’ relative non-engagement with politics. The bulk of the paper is devoted to a detailed description of the eponymous figures of “Peter Pan” and “the eternal girl”.

Based on theoretical assumptions the author attempts to identify common and differentiating elements of these two types of learning. Biographical learning and narrative learning coexist with each other, as well as overlap in some areas. Both processes should be combined with learning from life and the lifelong process. Their essential elements are narrative (re)construction, reflection, interpretation, explanation and making meanings of life experience. The essence of biographical learning is reflection on autobiography or the Other biography. Narrative learning takes place in the act of storytelling. It goes beyond just the biographical and includes the full range of narrated experience.

By w stosownym wieku były - wymagania stawiane pierwszym adeptkom sztuki położniczej

Author(s): Małgorzata Stawiak-Ososińska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2017

The first institutions which provided women with professional education were schools for midwives. The first institutions of this type occurred in the 17th century in France. Providing women with skills necessary during delivering a baby had a form of “apprentice” under the supervision of the experienced midwife. Specific nature of this profession practiced by students in the future influenced the fact that only adult women with some sexual experience, were approved for this type of courses. Preferably, young married women and widows were accepted to the group of students. It was believed that unmarried women should not join the group of students because the information provided during the childbirth assistance could cause embarrassment and constraint. Apart from age, significant determinants of students selection were “conducting oneself”, health condition and religious denomination. Criteria regarding midwives school enrolment developed in France were applied in other European countries (also in Poland), where similar institutions were established. Requirements developed in the 17th century were in effect without major changes until the end of the 19th century.Dane do

Edukacja dorosłych i lifelong learning między systemem a światem życia. Interwencje krytyczne

Author(s): Wojciech Kruszelnicki / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2018

The reckless promotion of competency-based education and training and theimposition of regulatory curriculum standards go hand in hand with similar attitudesamong adult education scholars and experts who increasingly back off from envisagingadult learning as an area of human interaction where pedagogy finds its humanisticmeaning and significance and where communicative rationality can be enacted andtaught. Out of three basic interests of human knowledge and cognition – technical,practical and critical – adult education of our time tends to opt for realising only thetechnical one. This is due to the colonisation of the lifeworld by the imperatives ofthe system (Habermas) which remains blind to a human interest in self-formation,autonomy, emancipation, and gaining critical awareness. As the lifeworld system iscolonised, there emerge autonomous subsystems, such as global economies, markets,media, and business corporations. Operating relatively independently of state anddemocratic control, they impose instrumental rationality in sectors of key importancefor viable democracy and subject education to its interests and standards. Through theuse of manifold technologies of micro-power (Foucault), people are now “condemnedto learn” – only to make profits, if not to subsist in uncertain times.

Międzypokoleniowe różnice w rozumieniu pojęcia pomyślnego starzenia się

Author(s): Agnieszka Kołodziej / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2018

The aim of this paper is to explore intergenerational differences notedin terms of subjective definitions of successful ageing. Empirical material has been collected on the basis of a categorised interview. The study was conducted in 2016 and 2017 among two groups of participants. The first group was comprised of 107respondents aged 20; and in the second group there were 224 individuals over theage of 60. The data were analysed using a statistical method, cluster analysis. The findings of the study revealed that the depiction of happy and satisfied elderly people from the point of view of young adults seems to coincide with the media’s portrayalof “active” seniors. On the other hand, the subjective definition, which emerged from the answers given by older people, involves concepts such as integrity, spirituality and a sense of community.

Czy „edukacja kulturalna” to kategoria przeterminowana?

Author(s): Sylwia Slowińska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2018

The article is a voice in the discussion on the validity of the term „cultural education” and the sphere of educational practice to which it relates. The authorrefers to the thesis proclaimed by some researchers and practitioners that „cultural education” is an out-of-date category. In the first part of the article, she presents thecritique of the concept of cultural education. Critics accuse that the concept is being based on an obsolete, narrow and valuing definition of culture. They also point out that the tasks of cultural education are inadequate to the needs of contemporary democratic society, because they are formulated narrowly and mainly concern preparation for the reception of culture in a narrow sense (usually as an artistic culture). These accusations are related to the genesis of cultural education, as its opponents believe. They say that it was created in the 1940s, that is in completely different socio-culturaland political realities, which makes it today out-of-date. In the next part, the authortries to show that these allegations are not entirely right and justified. According to the author, it is not true that all concepts of cultural education are based on a narrow valuing culture definition and that tasks are reduced only to prepare people for the reception of culture. Most of the concepts of cultural education assume the preparationof a person for independent, creative and active participation in the socio-cultural world. In addition, the author disagrees with the view that cultural education is anachronistic because it was created in the 1940s. She claims that the term “cultural education” was used in Poland in academic literature for the first time in the 1980sand from then on, the concepts of cultural education began to develop. At the end,the author indicates that it is not justified to reject the term “cultural education” and the related educational approaches. She emphasizes that the diversity of the conceptsof cultural education is a value in keeping with the realities of a democratic and pluralistic society, where different approaches can and should coexist.
