The notion of “academic leader” refers to all the roles a teacher should play in order to make teaching efficient, informing, dynamic, motivating, pleasant and stimulating for students who should be eager to discover more about the taught subject. The purpose of this methodological paper is to present nowadays academic teaching from the point of view of integrating modern technology and teaching strategies. Because teaching a foreign language involves the development of multiple skills, what are the techniques...

Nowadays, in a time of rapid expansion of large amounts of information, it is necessary to use information systems in almost all spheres of life, including the education process. Building a large information system is an extensive and complex process and is usually implemented through projects. Using information systems in educational institutions automates the delivery of teaching materials, facilitates information exchange and communication in general, and simplifies the recording and evaluation. In the last thi...

The purpose of the research was to develop and implement self-study support materials to facilitate the French for Specific Purposes (FSP) curriculum implementation in mixed-speciality groups of engineering students. The context in which the course emerges and characteristics of mixed-speciality groups of engineering students are given in the paper. It is concluded that students have to get the majority of work hours through self-study. The authors hypothesized that such self-study support materials should be deve...

Authors of the paper focus on research of written expressions of youngest language graphic system users; it means children aged 7 - 9. Conception of the research survey and its theoretical base is built on the present unsatisfactory state of the written expression of young generation that often misses thought and communicational coherence and thus whole meaningfulness.

The contemporary advanced world is representative of the increased interest in continuing professional education. The environment in which today's specialists work and continue their education is ever more volatile, more demanding, and more critical of possible mistakes; therefore, specialists are constantly forced to expand their knowledge and improve their occupational skills. In everyday life, the formal and non-formal learning ranks among the most common categories of continuing professional education, which d...

Elite Engineering Educational program (EEEP), implemented in Tomsk Polytechnic university (TPU) in 2004 creates the conditions for personal and interdisciplinary competencies formation and provide an opportunity to apply them in practice. The article contains analysis and recommendations to IT that can be involved in project activities while training technical specialists as well as monitoring of the competences formed during the educational process.

As part of this research we therefore wanted to determine which competencies are necessary to support inclusive environment. For the present investigation we used a research technique that we call "5P" (5positive features). In the three-member team, we have observed common teaching lessons in schools that are according to their school curriculum declared as inclusive schools. Simultaneously, these schools decided to cooperate with our faculty and to support arguments self-analysis and self-evaluation of the pedago...

Transdiscursive communication between an expert and nonexpert presupposes processes of special knowledge transfer and acquisition. Asymmetrical levels of communicants' knowledge cause ambiguity in term conceptualization during communication. This paper introduces direct metaphor as an efficient linguistic tool for term disambiguation and leads to improving transdiscursive knowledge communication.

In this paper, we introduce a summary of the terms of inclusive education in primary education. We present the selected results of a case study in which we focused on the conditions and processes of inclusive education in one outstanding school. In this paper we describe the research methodology of the whole research, but in the interpretation of the results due to the limitations of the paper we focus only on selected conditions (organizational) that have a significant impact on the quality of inclusion in the sc...

The programme is unique in the Czech Republic in terms of its focus, strives to find new ways of extending the traditional model of school and out-of-school music education to encompass activities aimed at nurturing crea...

Background: Studies on the modern society we live in reveal that people have an increasingly saturated cognitive environment but socio-emotionally deprived. Systematic analyzes of the educational process demonstrate, complementary, the maintenance of a gap between the educational cognitive environment and the socio-emotional environment, influenced by the social-familial context. Through this study we proposed the creation of an educational program by means of which to balance both areas, involving two of the key ...

The Faculty of Economics of the University of South Bohemia in ДЌeske BudД›jovice launched its own model of providing foreign language education two years ago.

The present research sets sight on the characters from the two...

Formative assessment is essential in teaching and learning process. Tests play an important role as a tool for formative assessment, especially in the process of information retention in long-term memory. However, pen and paper format exhibits many constraints, such as time consumption in the correction and feedback, which difficults a systematic use. In this way, the online digital tests are presented as a viable alternative with clear benefits compared to pen and paper format. This study assumes a sequential exp...

The article is devoted to the questions of improving the quality of teaching mathematics using tasks of logical designing, which includes: a) separation into parts; b) classification; c) designing of the object with specified properties from certain parts; d) construction of logical schemes; e) making up programs of activities.

We would have expected perhaps that the surprising statement made in 1997 by a French author, H. Le Nabasque - who, quite directly, did not hesitate to say that «the European company law is not a right of mobility of companies» – to become today an outdated paradox. And yet, while the right of secondary establishment (externalized through the companies'prerogative to establish subsidiaries, branches, agencies on the territory of Member States - other than the State of origin) became a real benefit of the inter...

Reexamination is an extraordinary remedy rooted in a long tradition of the Romanian procedural law, being acknowledged even before the issue of the 1865 Civil Procedure Code. This procedure was inspired from the Genovese and French laws, where reexamination was known under the name requete civile since 1667. This means of appeal is not specific to Romanian legislation, being used in other procedural rules, but it may be compared mostly to the French procedure. The paper focuses on how the procedure is regulated in...

History of human society is driven by mutuality of continuity and discontinuity. The manner in which society keeps its permanent inner order and passes it on further generations is realized substantially via law, legal norms and concepts. On the other hand, law is confronted by the changing conditions for its application in practice, and it has to adjust to the situations it regulates. Therefore, in law, just like in society, there is being drawn a line between the obsolete and new, a line between the world of the...

We consider many of the punishments from the antiquity as brutal and shocking, as we often forget that the humanist principle (humanitas) is relatively new in the history of mankind. There are 34 crimes that the Code of Hammurabi punishes with the death penalty, however death penalty is still in effect today, in some countries. Roman law has experienced a great variety of punishments such as: unequal combat versus a skilled warrior; scourging, poena cullei (the “sack punishment”); exile; branding on the forehe...
