Dziecko zbuntowane. Problem dziecięcego nieposłuszeństwa w świetle behawioryzmu i analizy transakcyjnej

Author(s): Jarosław Jagieła / Language(s): Polish Issue: 11/2018

For behaviorists parental training are the best way of solving the problem of younger children’s disobedience. During workshops parents learn a series of habits connected with consistent andattentive behaviors directed at the child. Transactional analysis emphasizes the importance of relationsin developing rapport and strokes as one of the ways of influencing the child. A synergiccombination of both approaches to child’s rebellious behaviors may prove more effective than activitiesundertaken within only one theoretical and practical framework.

Wiedza w działaniu – o potrzebie wspólnoty praktyk andragogiki i pedeutologii w formalnych, pozaformalnych, nieformalnych przestrzeniach uczenia się

Author(s): Rozalia Ligus / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2018

The article reflects on the common problems addressed by two disciplines that arose from pedagogy, i.e. andragogy and pedeutology, and the possibility of applying research results ensuing from this relationship, not only in educational institutions but, above all, in non-formal and informal learning that particularly addresses teachers’ professional development. The need to exchange and mutually create knowledge in joint scientific ventures undertaken by andragogues and pedeutologists could contribute to a gradual interruption of the “vicious circle” of instrumental rationality in education and disperse the secondary habitus of students and their teachers first learned from “school” experiences and reinforced in educational institutions, including in higher education institutions.

BOOK REVIEW. SOCIOLOGIA EDUCAȚIEI

A fegyelemindex körbejárása

Author(s): Borbála Paksi,Krisztián Széll,Anikó Fehérvári / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 4/2019

The task of the education system - in addition to knowledge transfer - is to transfer values and behaviour patterns. By exercising the function of cultural reproduction, the education system is involved in ensuring social integration. In this respect, compared to other social subsystems, the education system is of paramount importance, on the one hand, for acquiring and shaping values and ways of thinking and, on the other hand, for reaching large populations in a development period sensitive to the emergence of problematic behaviours. The norms prevalent in the school, and the adaptation to them, are also connected to the school’s effectiveness. The aim of the study is to examine empirically the problematic behaviors and the organizational determinants of their pedagogical perceptions. In our analysis, we focused on the behaviour and discipline index formed by a multi-stage mathematical procedure based on the annual data of the National Assessment of Basic Competencies (OKM) about school principals’ perception of various problematic behaviours. In addition, the article also raises issues related to the validity of the discipline index by analyzing the factual basis of the subjective data underlying it and the mechanism of indexation. Our results show that the examined informal organizational features do not correlate with the size of the discipline index. The expected relationship with organizational features could not be detected even after controlling for the annual fluctuation of the discipline index. Our analyses to examine the validity of the discipline index indicate that while school principals’ perceptions show some relationship with students’ behaviour, it is mainly influenced by other as yet unexplored mechanisms.

Az iskolai teljesítményt és előmenetelt hátrányosan befolyásoló tényezők megítélése a szociális szakemberek nézőpontjából

Author(s): Márta Kiss,Zoltán Vastagh / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 1/2020

In the study we examine the opinion of professionals working in the social sector about the factors influencing children’s school performance and development, as well as the reasons for disadvantages in this field. The reason for this approach and choice of target group is, firstly, that while teachers’ opinions are better known from previous research, professionals working in the social areas, despite having to work together with teachers, are not usually asked about this topic. Secondly, under recent government directives and regulations, the initiatives established to counteract extracurricular (out of school) disadvantage like After school support programmes (Tanoda), Sure Start Children Centres, and social workers in schools and nurseries, have become part of the child welfare and protection system or have come under its professional supervision. Our research – being a pilot project – was carried out among social professionals in Baranya, and identified eight problem areas (latent factors) regarding the causes of disadvantages. Based on the averages of the opinions of the interviewed professionals, the majority standpoint is that disadvantages arise first and foremost from parental patterns and behaviours, the child’s attitude to learning, and the lack of social competencies. These results are consistent with a survey made among teachers, where respondents also identified the attitudes of parents and children as the most important influencing factors. At the same time, cluster analysis revealed that the interviewed professionals are not uniform in this respect (either): three different groups, characterized by markedly different opinions, can be identified among them.

Hátránykompenzáció az iskolán kívül?

Author(s): Márta Kiss,Zoltán Vastagh / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2021

In our study, we map and compare the operation and activities of the most common out-of-school institutions compensating for educational disadvantage – ‘tanodas’ and settlement houses – and examine how these are evaluated by social and special education professionals. We also analyse the role of these extracurricular institutions in relation to the school achievements of disadvantaged students and their longterm social integration. Based on our results, it can be said that according to the social and developmental professionals who are actively involved in disadvantage compensation, school success can be most facilitated by enhancing the motivation of students and increasing the competencies and skills of their parents. In addition, several methods have been positively assessed by the professionals (such as the development of social and emotional competencies) that schools have traditionally been unable to focus on properly, but which are among the most common tools used by extracurricular institutions to compensate educational disadvantage. However, our research has also shown that inter-institutional cooperation is weak, although the success of disadvantage compensation depends to a large extent on an efficient division of labour and resources.

Árnyékoktatás: alapfogalmak, kutatás, lehetőségek

Author(s): Györi János Gordon / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 2/2020

In this article the author defines shadow education, as only the most important examination subjects’ out-of-school, for-fee education activities belong here. After this he introduces some of the theoretical debates and important research tendencies, topics, methods and results of the first two decades of the field. Then he offers a new approach to reach a better understanding of shadow education and other educational phenomena, and two practical methods to reduce the negative effects of shadow education: he argues for starting educational behavior reseach, also for training so-called educational space specialist, and to introduce a well-balanced educational voucher system.

THE ROLE OF SOCIAL CAPITAL IN PROFESSIONAL SOCIALIZATION OF PERSONALITY

Author(s): Victoria Leonidivna Pohribna / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

The article analyzes the influence of social capital on the process and result of professional socialization of the individual, argues that in the mechanism of professional socialization social capital largely determines the choice by the individual of identification objects and value-normative system that will regulate his or her behavior. It is emphasized that social capital of the professional environment in which the individual finds himself can not only promote but also hinder the accumulation of socially acceptable cultural skills, knowledge and information. This is due to the social and moral orientation of the value system on which it is based.

Challenging EdTech: Towards a More Inclusive, Accessible and Purposeful Version of EdTech

Author(s): Salomey Tardy Hackman,Stefan Reindl / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2022

The integration of technology in education has received much attention throughout recent years. Many argue that technology can be packaged as a product to improve learning outcomes, make education more cost-efficient, and enhance education retention and access, among other potential outcomes. Nevertheless, research has shown that technology use in education so far only achieves its many promises in very few specific scenarios. This article aims to contribute to the still relatively small critical voice and perspective on educational technology in a field dominated by an overall optimistic – if not euphoric – tone of potential and promise. We suggest that the major questions driving educational technology might not be the best questions to begin with. We first discuss an overarching critical stance on money-driven educational technology and then move on to illustrate our critique in the specific case of challenging two major assumptions underlying such money-driven educational technology developments. We conclude with a proposal of ‘better’ questions to inspire a more meaningful development of educational technology, which might enable educational technology to better live up to its many expectations.

Egyetemisták karrierhabitusa és vállalkozói hajlandósága

Author(s): Botond Dániel,Henrietta Incze / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 05/2022

The study examines the career plans of Hungarian university students in Transylvania. It gives a detailed picture about the type of career and position envisaged by them for their future professional life. Based on the desired career types, their career habitus and entrepreneurial spirit is also explored. The authors also examine the effect of several socioeconomic factors – such as age, gender, type of settlement, education level of parents, financial situation of families – on the career habitus and entrepreneurial willingness. The empirical background of the study is an online survey conducted in December 2020, which targeted the ethnic Hungarian students studying at universities in Romania. In the article the authors analyze the answers for the question: what type of position students would prefer to work in after completing their studies: as an employee, as an entrepreneur (with employees) or self-employed (freelancer)? Based on the answers, together with the background factors, we can examine the characteristics of those students who are willing to work as an entrepreneur or to be self-employed, and several socioeconomic determinant factors.

A jó tanuló felel – online oktatással kapcsolatos attitűdök az erdélyi magyar egyetemisták körében

Author(s): Beáta Lázár,Szidónia Rusu / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 05/2022

Who is a good student in online education? How has digital education changed attitudes and preferences towards learning? Have students socialised in traditional education changed under the pressure of online education? We seek to answer these and similar questions in our study. The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally shaken traditional forms of education and forced both students and teachers to adapt quickly and flexibly to the challenges of digital education. The present study explores this issue among Hungarian students in Transylvania. The study is based on a large sample survey of university students, conducted in December 2020. The questions on online education are organised along the following themes: learning environment, class participation, perceived changes, perceived advantages and disadvantages of digital education. The data is analysed in terms of the learning environment, the tools and conditions for online education, as well as the willingness to participate in online classes. The aim of the study is to investigate the attitudes of the students participating in the research towards online education. Along several factors such as tool use, learning environment and attitudes, students are placed on a spectrum based on their attitudes towards online education. The index classifies Hungarian students in Transylvania into categories: those who have benefited from online education – those who have performed well in the changed environment – and those who have been negatively affected by the introduction of digital education. This is examined using several background variables such as university specialisation, type of residence and socio-demographic data.

Az erdélyi magyar egyetemisták pénzügyi helyzetének elemzése a koronavírus-járvány tükrében

Author(s): Tibor-Csongor Teleki / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 05/2022

In recent years, several studies have been published that assessed the financial knowledge of young people, or their attachment to finances and money. By mapping the knowledge regarding the financial skills of students, we get a primary picture of what the financial habits of this segment of the adult generation are after the fall of the communist regime, and what ideas and opinions they have in terms of income, salary, entrepreneurship, willingness to save, and their livelihood. Our various financial decisions, financial culture, money and its management are part of our everyday lives, all of which are significantly influenced by parental attitudes, the knowledge we have learned in the family, and the objective information we have been taught during our studies. Through the research, we get a more accurate picture of the knowledge and financial situation of Transylvanian students. It is a comprehensive and detailed research, the analysis of which gives us a status report. Based on the results of the research, it is possible to think about how to design and implement programs that could improve the students’ ability to expand their financial knowledge during their university period, as well as to put the acquired knowledge into practice by distributing their income with financial knowledge. Adequate financial security is made possible by a stable financial background, so that as a young adult and later even as a parent, the family can guarantee financial security. The solution for this is learning, expanding knowledge and knowing and mapping out financial opportunities. The results of the research could be the basis for a later project to raise financial awareness.

Készen állsz? – pályaválasztási kérdések az erdélyi egyetemisták körében

Author(s): Henrietta Nóra Bocz,Beáta Lázár / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 05/2022

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” is a recurring question since childhood in a young person’s life. It is not surprising, because the chosen occupation, among others, determines the social and economic situation and well-being of individuals, furthermore a well-chosen profession and productive work also have a positive effect on society. Hence, the chosen career path is a very important and determinative decision with a lot of responsibility and onus to choose. The successful coping with the situation depends on different external and internal factors and their relation. In this study, we analyse factors such as motivations in higher education, the feeling of readiness to decide, and information sources used in decision making. We also studied how these factors relate to each other and to the student’s social background, more specifically to the parents’ financial status and their highest educational. For the study, we use answers from a large-sample survey of university students’ vision of the future, conducted in December of 2020. However, the questions in career choice topics were only for first year students, so the sample in our study contain 194 cases. The questions mostly referred to their high school period, but the participants were already university students at the moment of data collection.

Megkoronázott fesztiválszezon. Egyetemisták rendezvénylátogatási szokásai a koronavírus-járvány idején

Author(s): Cristina Brînzan-Antal / Language(s): Hungarian Issue: 05/2022

The study shows how the coronavirus epidemic changed the Transylvanian Hungarian NGOs’ events and how this affected students’ willingness to participate. Intention to participate in events during and after a coronavirus epidemic is examined along several factors such as sense of security, choice of location, number of participants, and adherence to current restrictions. In addition, we analyze several types of events in terms of willingness to participate, with a separate focus on attitudes towards mass events. How did the coronavirus epidemic affect Hungarian university students in Transylvania in terms of events? How have their habits changed when attending an event, especially a festival? We seek answers to these and similar questions in the present study. 1065 Hungarian students from Romanian universities were included in the research, and this is combined with the pilot research of the Transylvanian Association of Hungarian Civil Organizations and the 2021-2022 research of the Hungarian Cultural Society of Transylvania, which shows a current comprehensive picture of before and after the coronavirus epidemic. We used the questionnaire as a quantitative research method. The actuality of the topic lies the altered culture consumption habits caused by the coronavirus epidemic.

Začátek studia v novém prostředí: Možnost podpory vysokoškolských studentů

Author(s): Tereza Vengřinová / Language(s): Czech Issue: 1/2022

Absolventi středních škol mívají od začátku studia na vysoké škole různá očekávání, např. možnost osamostatnit se, najít si nové přátele, detailněji se připravit na své budoucí povolání. Jedná se pro ně o nový začátek, ve kterém jsou již dospělí a odpovědní za své vzdělávání, ale zároveň často ne zcela nezávislí na rodičích, minimálně po finanční stránce. Se začátkem studia mívají však také i obavy, jak celý proces zvládnou a zda jsou vhodní pro studium na vysoké škole, a z toho, co je čeká.

Zainteresowania poznawcze i osiągnięcia w nauce młodzieży szkół średnich – uzupełnienie ustaleń badawczych Janusza Mariańskiego i porównanie z danymi dotyczącymi młodzieży akademickiej

Author(s): Marcin Choczyński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2022

The subject of this paper is the archival data obtained in 2017 from the nationwide sociological research of high school youth (also called upper secondary school in the context of the 1999 reform of the education system) and academic youth, entitled Youth and values. It concerns the field of interest and learning achievements of secondary school youth. It is worth noting that the 2017 research was a continuation of the series of socio-religious analyzes carried out in 1988, 1998 and 2005. The 2017 research resulted in the publication of two independent publications – Janusz Marianski’s original monograph entitled Religious and moral condition of high school youth in the years 1988–1998–2005–2017 (2018) and a work edited by Sławomir H. Zaręba and Marcin Zarzecki, entitled Between construction and deconstruction of the universes of meaning. Research into the religiosity of academic youth in the years 1988–1998–2005–2017 (2018). In the first mentioned work, however, the data on the interests and learning achievements of school students were not discussed, hence they are presented collectively for the first time in this text. It is worth noting that the interests of young people are quite consistent (preference for music and popular media culture, less interest in high and elite culture), while the forms of participation and the idea of interests (primarily virtualization) change.

O edukację jako podmiot samoregulacji społecznej

Author(s): Zbigniew Kwieciński / Language(s): Polish Issue: 18/2021

The text contains an analysis of the connections between the mass outbreak of social protest in August 1980, its causes and implications for the democratic transformations of Polish society and for the change in the function of education from an instrument of autho-ritarian power to an important subject of social self-regulation. The attempt to publish it in the book Konieczność – niepokój – nadzieja (“Necessity – anxiety – hope”) ended in failure. First, the text was cut down by censorship, and then at the beginning of martial law in January 1982, the publisher handed over almost the entire circulation of the book (over 10,000 copies) for destruction.

Instrumentality after Radical Lack, Education, and Populism as Co-Prosthetic

Author(s): Abdellatif Atif / Language(s): English Issue: 18/2021

This contribution refuses two positions: one defends education against instrumentality, and the other reduces education to a political instrument. Alternatively, it recognizes instrumentality as precarious but necessary. Thus, with focus on populist articulations, education is instrumentalized as a demand to fix the people’s incompleteness as a total-ity. However, both education and the people are lacking totalities, and it is through their articulation as prosthetic bodies one to the other that they help each other to be, however without fully being.

Ponieważ sprawy są ulotne, trzeba mieć wprawne oko

Author(s): Piotr Zamojski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 16/2019

In my response to the seminal article by Joanna Rutkowiak I focus on the consequences of the argument she puts forward for understanding education. I refer to the function of vio-lence in making equality happen in the classroom, the sporadicity of the event of education, and a new understanding of educational achievements.
