Czytanie w łóżku. Lektura jako atrybut atrakcyjności w kampaniach promujących czytelnictwo

Author(s): Magdalena Bałaga / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2014

The article is an attempt to analyse campaigns to promote reading, including »You don't read? I won'thave sex with you, Read - pick-up«, or »Naked girl reading«, and related concepts aiming to present a book and the very act of reading as a new attribute of attractiveness. The main aim of such initiatives is primarily a presentation of the book as a "sexual attribute" and to demonstrate the relationship between reading and intellectual attractiveness. Campaigns designed in that way, aimed at "sexualisation of literature", provoke a question about the effectiveness of such projects. The process of reading is subject to all kinds of fashions, and analysing such promotional campaigns reveals the modern reader profile and his or her reading needs, as well as the relationship between reading choices and image creation.

Psychological Characteristics of remedial Teachers of different Altruism Levels

Author(s): DIna Shulzhenko,Khristina Sayko / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

The authors of this paper studied psychological characteristics of remedial teachers with different altruism levels. Altruism is a motive to render assistance to anyone not consciously related to one’s own selfish interests. Subjectively it manifests itself in sympathy, being oriented towards helping others. Altruism is opposed to selfishness, which is incompatible with disinterested concern for the welfare of others and willingness to sacrifice personal interests for them. The main driving force behind altruistic behavior is a drive to improve the situation of others rather than expecting some reward. In psychology, altruism is considered as a system of personality value priorities in which interests of another person or social community are a central motive and a moral evaluation criterion.

Wykształcenie oraz pozycja zawodowa rodziców jako czynniki różnicujące postawy patriotyczne białoruskiej młodzieży

Author(s): Włodzimierz Sadowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2015

The issue of patriotic views of Belarusian youth is extremely important and requires an overall study. Current selective surveys only prove that the patriotism of Belarusian youth has unformed, not-systematized character and is of no special importance. There have been no studies on the issue of the conditions of shaping the patriotic attitudes of Belarusian youth. Results of surveys show that education and occupational status of parents of the young examined are the least differentiating factors. Undoubtedly, gained relations need further interdisciplinary research. However, the problem observed − why family which is supposed to deliver the patriotic education contents in the natural way, is the least differentiating factor of the patriotic attitudes of young people − seems to be very interesting from the pedagogical perspective.

Prikaz režima prelaza u odraslu dob

Author(s): Elma Begagić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 13/2015

Global changes in social dynamics which have affected countries of the European Union in the last decades of the 20th century, have resulted in the need to study phenomena such as biographies, life flows and regimes of transition. Differentiated social structure, institutional frameworks, cultural values and political activities provide different regulations of the transition to adulthood. In this context, popular literature (Pohl / Walter, 2006) tackles regimes, and this te rm includes such constellations which form different structures such as education, labour market, and social security system whereby the problem of transition manifests as an individual or structural discrimination. The aim of the paper is to present various regimes of transitions to adulthood, since the comparison gives insight into the structural background of a life course.

DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES ON THE USE OF L1 INTEACHING ENGLISH TO THE ELDERLY

Author(s): Agata Słowik / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

Own-language use has commonly been discouraged by language teachers worldwide ever since the Grammar Translation method gave place to other methods. In the last decade, however, there has been a visible shift in the use of mother tongue and, what is notable, an increasing number of methodologists have begun to point that the use of students’ mother tongue may in fact facilitate the process of learning. Despite the long awaited return of own-language use students’ learning preferences regarding the use of L1 are still often dismissed by teachers either due to lack of experience or to some reservations. Such attitudes may be especially harmful to a group which often demands own-language use in the classroom environment and which remains understudied – the elderly. Therefore, the primary objective of the proposed paper is to highlight the differences between various teacher perceptions of whether or not own-language use does facilitate the process of older adult students’ learning and to collate them with older adult students’ own answers. The secondary objective is to present a possibly wide spectrum of various views reflecting the issues connected with the use of students’ own language and the related influence of teachers’ experiences and perceptions. The disparity between the answers provided by inexperienced teachers, experienced teachers and the elderly learners, especially while taking into account the use of students’ L1, is aimed at drawing some conclusions that may point to alternative directions in the future studies of own-language use in the classroom environment.

GENDER-BASED DIFFERENCES IN SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN’S DIVERGENT THINKING

Author(s): Leah C. Roue / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2014

This study examines whether the shortage of females in science and engineering is linked to possible gender-based differences in school-aged children’s divergent thinking. Divergent thinking is a direct measure of creativity and an important characteristic in science and engineering. A survey instrument designed to measure divergent thinking was administered to 8th and 11th graders in a mid-western United States school district. Results showed that there were no difference between girls and boys on the three measures of divergent thinking: fluency, flexibility, and originality. These results indicate little reason as to why participation in science and engineering is male dominated, and support the notion that additional exposure to science and engineering through divergent-thinking activities will provide girls with the self-knowledge that they are capable of solving open-ended problems and engineering tasks.

RELIABILITY OF THE DYNAMIC OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT FOR CHILDREN (DOTCA-CH): THAI VERSION OF ORIENTATION, SPATIAL PERCEPTION, AND THINKING OPERATIONS SUBTESTS

Author(s): Thikamporn Rangson,Supaporn Chinchai,Sarinya Sriphetcharawut,Suchitporn Lersilp / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2014

The Dynamic Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment for Children (DOTCA-Ch) is a tool for finding out about cognitive problems in school-aged children. However, the DOTCA-Ch was developed in English for Western children. For this reason, it’s not appropriate for Thai children because of the differences of culture and language. The objectives of this study were aimed at translating the DOTCA-Ch in Orientation, Spatial Perception, and Thinking Operations sub tests to a Thai version on a World Health Organization back-translation process, and to examine its internal consistency, inter-rater reliability and test-retest reliability. Participants consisted of 38 intellectually impaired and learning disabled individuals between the ages of 6–12 years. Results from this study revealed high internal consistency in the Orientation sub test (α=.83) Spatial Perception sub test (α=.82) and Thinking Operations sub test (α=.82); high inter-rater reliability in the Orientation sub test (ICC =.83), Spatial Perception sub test (ICC =.84) and Thinking Operations sub test (ICC =.74); and high test-retest reliability in the Orientation sub test (ICC =.84), Spatial Perception sub test (ICC =.86), and Thinking Operations sub test (ICC =.85). These results indicate that the Thai version of the Orientation, Spatial Perception, and Thinking Operations sub test might be used as an appropriate assessment tool for Thai children, based on psychometric evidence including internal consistency, inter-rater reliability and test-retest reliability. However, additional study of other psychometric properties, including, predictive validity, concurrent reliability, and inter-rater reliability during the mediation process of this assessment tool needs to be carried out.
