Increasing pressure on the quality of the educational content brings the need to address the issue of hidden mechanisms in the educational process that have impacts on the quality of knowledge and skills. This article discusses the existence of the hidden curriculum in lifelong learning and puts it into the context of the lifelong Professional Military Education as it is provided at the Centre for Security and Military Strategic Studies at the University of Defence. The uncovering of the hidden content in education may not be a welcome process, in extreme it may become unacceptable. However, hidden content can affect the achieved learning outcomes, as well as their deliberate disclosure and appropriate processing. The aim of the article is to describe whether and with what benefit can the concept of the hidden curriculum be applied to professional military education in the Centre for Security and Military Strategic Studies environment.

The career analysis conducted among the alumni of universities is dominated in Poland by the tendency to verify which competencies (demanded mostly by the labour market) they have acquired and how they have managed to cope with finding employment. The ability of studying is a rarely discussed problem, which is unjustifiably considered necessary only during the course of study. However, this ability leads to shaping the extent of academic thinking, also understood as a specific way of solving problems – not only purely academic ones but professional ones as well. The author of the presented article, while referring to pedagogical concepts of S. Hessen and D. Benner, has developed a theoretical model of study skills and subsequently conducted its empirical verification by performing a repeated analysis of selected data obtained in 2016 during the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University graduates’ career analysis.The conducted replication has proved that, firstly, the exploration of study skills among the alumni has not been taken into account when examining careers of the graduates, which might have served as feedback regarding the modification of the education process at the university; secondly, it seems that the graduates have acquired study competence at least to a certain degree, which finds evidence in success achieved by most of them – i.e. finding employment; and, thirdly, satisfaction of completing studies is linked with the feeling of having the right competence and consequently with recommending the university to others.

The article offers an insight into problematic issues the advanced learners of Polish as a FL cope with in terms of grammar in speaking and writing. It opens with a brief insight into teaching literature, poetry including, in a FL classroom. What follows includes types of poems and their potential to be used in the teaching context, mainly when teaching grammar. Having presented  the scope of linguistic problems experienced by the users of Polish as a FL, the type and frequency of grammatical problems are discussed. Polish grammar-based issues the foreigners struggle with constituted the main area of the research conducted among 146 students of the Polish Language Course attending the School of Polish Language and Culture at the University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland. The findings come from oral and written assignments produced by the sample in question, and, most frequently, reflect grammatical mistakes that are persistent and difficult to eliminate from the linguistic repertoire. Given that,  ways of using poetry as a means of a “grammar refresher” are suggested. These include a few examples of activities based on poems to be used  when trying to overcome particular linguistic difficulties, together with implications for teachers raising students’ language awareness and developing reflection on language per se.

Results are reported of the implementation of an engineer-in-residence concept in the Department of Civil Engineering and Mechanics at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee College of Engineering and Applied Science. This concept brings an experienced practitioner to campus specifically to mentor students and faculty in the application of engineering and management principles to real-life problems and to provide additional relevancy to the education process. Success of the concept is measured by evaluations completed by students and faculty. On the basis of the findings of these evaluations, the concept is a promising way to provide expanded relevancy to a transportation education program.

A few years before his death, Heinrich Kayser was persuaded by some of his friends to write down his memoirs. He prepared a manuscript of 342 pages which was never published. The present history of his life is based largely on this autobiography. Heinrich Kayser was born at Bingen on the Rhine on 16 March 1853. His great-grandfather, Johann Jacob Kayser, coming from peasant stock in East Prussia, was the first to change to an academic profession. He was parson, land surveyor, and philosopher who applied unsuccessfully for the professorship at the University of Königsberg which was later occupied by Immanuel Kant. Kayser’s grandfather, August Immanuel Kayser, was a prominent lawyer in Königsberg who acquired a large feudal estate (Friedrichsberg). His father, Johann Jacob Heinrich Kayser, was prevented from completing his studies of law by a serious disease of his eyes and took over the estate of his father, spending much of his time travelling all over Europe. Kayser’s mother, Dorothea Amélia von Metz, was the daughter of a Russian army officer, a refugee from the French revolution. The parents were married in Moscow (1843) and after a few years at Königsberg moved to Bingen where Heinrich Kayser was born as the youngest of a family of five. Since the family moved several times, Kayser’s education in his younger years was somewhat irregular. During several years his father gave him instruction in Latin, Greek, mathematics and history. He finished his schooling at the Sophiengymnasium in Berlin in 1872.

After the fall of the November Uprising, the Russian authorities liquidated the University of Warsaw. As a result, the University employees were forced to take up other occupations. Some of them went to male government secondary schools as pedagogical supervisors (principals and inspectors), or teachers. This group numbered 18 people. The functions of principals were performed by two people, the functions of inspectors – by six, the remaining ten found employment as teachers. The period of their employment in secondary education varied widely: from 1 year to over 25 years. On average it was just over nine years. Among the teachers, four taught the humanities, the others taught mathematical and natural sciences. Many members of the described community decided to continue their scientific work. Particular achievements in mathematics were held by A. Frączkiewicz, and I in the field of physics and chemistry – by J. Bełza, A. Radwański, T. Rybicki and S. Zdzitowiecki. Achievements in biological research were noted by W. B. Jastrzębowski, Sz. Pisulewski and A. Waga (interestingly, he taught Polish language and literature in secondary school). Some achievements in the field of the humanities were held by A. Kucharski and F. Kozłowski. The above-mentioned employees of the University of Warsaw significantly strengthened the teaching staff of male government secondary schools in the Kingdom of Poland between 1833 and 1862.

Abstract The course Nursing Procedures and Interventions is being taught at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Ostrava within the scope of the study programs Nursing and Midwifery. Despite the fact that the main part of the course is dedicated to the practical medical skills, it is suitable not only for students of full-time studies, but also for students of combined studies. The teaching of the course is organizationally demanding, because of which a Moodle e-learning course has been developed. The article describes the aims and the education process of the course Nursing Procedures and Interventions with the support of e-learning. It deals especially with the testing of theoretical knowledge of students within the e-learning course, which has three phases - when introduced to the course for the first time, during the course, and at the end of it. The article presents the comparison of the test results of different education periods. The article also deals with the more complicated issues and parts of the course and also compares students’ results with regard to their previous specialty - if they already encountered any kind of health studies or if the course is their first experience with this kind of education.
