Why transitional public relations methodologies are needed for the reform of higher education in the countries of central and eastern Europe     

Ryszard Ławniczak 《Higher Education in Europe》2003,28(4):529-538

This essay reflects upon the themes that emerged from the “Public Relations—An Instrument for the Transformation and Development of Higher Education in Central and Eastern Europe” seminar, for which the articles appearing in this issue of Higher Education in Europe were originally prepared. The transitional public relations approach, which was developed and introduced to the world public relations literature by the author, is used to analyze the impact of this type of public relations on the reform of higher education in the former communist countries of Europe. The main conclusion is that, in view of the common communist heritage of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, the application of public relations strategies and instruments in higher education accelerates and facilitates reform of this key area of the economy and also causes it to become more effective. The above statement is particularly valid for private universities.  相似文献

Religious discrimination discourse in the mono-cultural school: the case of Poland     

Adam Anczyk  Joanna Grzymała-Moszczyńska 《British Journal of Religious Education》2018,40(2):182-193

The article forms an analysis of the religious discrimination discourse in Polish public schools, with special attention paid to the culturally specific, Polish understanding of the notion of religious discrimination. The introductory part presents the concept of religious discrimination as present in anti-discriminatory policies. The following part outlines the Polish system of religious education and its relation to the religious discrimination. Studies on religious discrimination in Poland are presented and discussed. Important context is supplied by a presentation of two recent cases of religious discrimination in Polish public schools, and the actions undertaken by the Freedom from Religion Foundation. Authors of the article point out the important influence of cultural context on the perception of religious discrimination. The attention is drawn to the seemingly homogenous environment of the Polish school and of the discriminative discourse used in political and social debates. The analysis shows that the presence of religion as a subject in Polish schools remains a cause of conflict between the religious and atheist citizens, a conflict in which concepts of religious discrimination and religious freedom are used as arguments by both sides.  相似文献   

The influence of educational research on education in Poland     

Wincenty Okoń 《International Review of Education/Internationale Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft/Revue internationale l'éducation》1981,27(2):163-177

There is no need nowadays to convince people that modern education cannot function properly without the help of scientific research, and especially of pedagogical research. It is true that there still appear many pedagogical works inflated by wind, as Comenius expressed it more than three hundred years ago, and these publications may even acquire a temporary popularity. But the general trend towards the development of pedagogy as a discipline based on research has been established for quite some time and is constantly gaining strength in the developed countries. Concurrently, pedagogical disciplines have had increasing influence on the development of education.The question of how these disciplines have developed in Poland and how they have influenced the educational system calls for a broader review, such as to allow one to draw conclusions on how to harmonise more effectively the domain of educational research with that of education. Such a review is the aim of the present paper. The following issues are considered: the functions of educational research, the kinds of educational investigations conducted in Poland, ways of disseminating their findings, and the organisation of research in Poland. The paper ends with a discussion of some of the more important conclusions reached.

Zusammenfassung Heutzutage ist es nicht mehr nötig, viele Worte darüber zu verlieren, daß ein modernes Bildungswesen ohne Unterstützung durch wissenschaftliche, insbesondere pädagogische Forschung nicht richtig funktionieren kann. Zwar erscheinen immer noch viele pädagogische Arbeiten, die vom Wind aufgeblasen sind, wie sich Comenius vor über 300 Jahren ausdrückte, und diese können sogar zeitweilig grossen Anklang finden. Aber der allgemeine Trend, die Pädagogik als eine auf Forschung beruhende Disziplin anzusehen, besteht seit längerer Zeit und verstärkt sich in den Industrieländern ständig. Gleichzeitig üben pädagogische Disziplinen zunehmenden Einfluß auf die Entwicklung des Bildungswesens aus.Die Frage, wie sich diese Disziplinen in Polen entwickelt und wie sie das Bildungssystem beeinflußt haben, erfordert eine umfassendere Übersicht, die es ermöglicht, Schlußfolgerungen darüber zu ziehen, wie die pädagogische Forschung am besten mit dem Bildungswesen harmonisiert werden kann. Eine solche übersicht versucht der vorliegende Artikel zu geben. Er behandelt die folgenden Themen: die Funktionen der pädagogischen Forschung; die Art der in Polen angestellten Untersuchungen; die Verbreitungsmöglichkeiten ihrer Ergebnisse; und die Organisation der Forschung in Polen. Abschließend werden einige der wichtigeren Schlußfolgerungen besprochen.

Résumé De nos jours il n'est plus nécessaire de convaincre les gens que l'éducation moderne ne peut fonctionner de façon satisfaisante sans l'aide de la recherche scientifique, et plus spécialement de la recherche pédagogique. Il est vrai que l'on voit encore paraître de nombreux ouvrages pédagogiques gonflés de vent comme le disait déjà Comenius il y a plus de trois siècles, et ces publications peuvent éventuellement connaître une popularité passagère. Mais le courant général selon lequel la pédagogie est une discipline en developpement basée sur la recherche est désormais irréversible et il prend sans cesse plus d'importance dans les pays développés. Concurrement, les disciplines pédagogiques exercent une influence croissante sur le développement de l'éducation.Comment ces disciplines se sont-elles développées en Pologne et comment y ontelles influencé le système de l'éducation, sont deux questions qui demandent une étude approfondie si l'on veut en tirer des conclusions permettant d'harmoniser plus efficacement le domaine de la recherche en éducation et celui de l'éducation. C'est là l'objet de cet article. L'auteur considère les fonctions de la recherche en éducation, les différentes sortes d'enquêtes éducationnelles menées en Pologne, les moyens de diffusion des résultats et l'organisation de la recherche dans ce pays. Il termine par une discussion des conclusions les plus importantes auxquelles les Polonais sont parvenus.

Early career researchers: Scholarly behaviour and the prospect of change          下载免费PDF全文

Early career researchers (ECRs) are of great interest because they are the new (and biggest) wave of researchers. They merit long and detailed investigation, and towards this end, this overarching paper provides a summary of the first‐year findings of a 3‐year, longitudinal study of 116 science and social science ECRs who have published nearly 1,200 papers and come from 7 countries and 81 universities. ECRs were interviewed in their own languages face‐to‐face, by Skype, or telephone. The study focused on the attitudes and behaviours of ECRs with respect to scholarly communications and the extent to which they are adopting new and disruptive technologies, such as social media, online communities, and Open Science. The main findings include: publishing in high‐impact factor journals is the only reputational game in town; online scholarly communities, and ResearchGate in particular, are gaining ground; social media are beginning to have an impact, especially in the dissemination arena; outreach activities have become more important; libraries are becoming increasingly invisible to ECRs; Open Science is not gaining traction; and more transformational ideas are being expressed, especially in the US and UK.  相似文献   

Authors from the periphery countries choose open access more often          下载免费PDF全文

Witold Kieńć 《Learned Publishing》2017,30(2):125-131

This article analyses attitudes of academic authors toward open access (OA) and the frequency of choosing OA publication venues. The research looks particularly at differences between authors based in countries with a gross domestic product per capita less or greater than US$18,000 (called periphery and core countries, respectively). The data were obtained with an online survey sent to 107,296 scholars listed on the mailing lists belonging to De Gruyter Open from December 2015 to January 2016. A total of 1,012 responses were received. Authors from the periphery countries publish their articles in gold OA more often and they also pay OA publication fees equally often as those based in the core countries. The reasons for that are complex, involving both their preference to publish in OA and the composition of the publishing market in the periphery.  相似文献   

National academic award winners over time: their family situation,education and interpersonal relations     

Andrzej Sękowski  Małgorzata Siekańska 《High Ability Studies》2008,19(2):155-171

The article presents the results of a study focusing on the family situation, education and interpersonal relations of adults (26–35 years old) who in their adolescence (16–19 years old) displayed exceptional giftedness. One group of those surveyed were national academic award winners (90). The control group consisted of 90 people of no outstanding academic achievement. The research found many differences between these two groups, both in the family situation and in interpersonal relations. High achievers were raised in families of higher social and professional status, and almost 72.2% of them decided to continue their academic career after they had graduated from university. The national academic award winners showed higher scores in shyness and lower scores in sociability in interpersonal relations.  相似文献   

Tackling knowledge ‘like a business’? Rethinking the modernisation of higher education in Poland     

Agnieszka Bates  Rafał Godoń 《Compare》2017,47(4):454-467

The year 1989 marked the official end of communist rule in Poland and the replacement of ‘Gosplan’ by new instruments for liberal-democratic governance. In terms of the economy this heralded a departure from Gosplan’s five-year planning cycles, performance targets and the ‘propaganda of success’. Paradoxically, however, 27 years later, the marketisation of higher education in Poland has been accompanied by a continuation of Gosplan thinking. This is manifested in a neoliberal vision of the modern, ‘corporate’ university as a largely utilitarian enterprise, but subject to a style of performance management strongly resonant of the Soviet era. This article analyses the thinking, ideas and ideologies that have shaped contemporary higher education in Poland. It is contended that the rise of the ‘corporate university’ signals the twilight of the Humboldtian tradition and raises questions about what the corporate ideal of ‘excellence’ may mean for the future of the university.  相似文献
