New Situation

"The setting up of the Geography Department and its Institute within the Faculty of Sciences at the Upper Dacia University of Cluj. On 16 August 1919, the University Board, the organ created for the organization and employment of teaching staff for the Upper Dacia University of Cluj after its transition to Romanian administration (12 May 1919), presented and proposed the organisational chart by departments, seminars, laboratories and institutes of the future Faculty of Sciences, by means of the Board rapporteurs, scientists Gheorghe Țițeica, Ludovic Mrazec and Alexandru Borza. At the express request of professor George Vâlsan, the tertiary geographical education was also included in this Faculty, as an independent department, the Department of Geography, consisting of two sections and an Institute of Geography. This was a new situation, different from the study of Geography at the universities in Iași and Bucharest. The organisational chart of Cluj University, made according to the ”German model”, was kept until the Stalinist reform of the Romanian education on 3 August 1948. By means of suggestive examples, the main Romanian university institutions newly-created at Cluj University are illustrated and described, some of them under the auspices of the Royal Foundations, such as the Astronomic Observatory and the Institute of Chemistry and Physics, as well as others, like the Sports Park, the new Botanical Garden with the Botanic Museum, the Palace of University Clinics, the Academic College and the Ethnographic Park and Museum. The materialization of George Vâlsan’s concept regarding the study of Geography and its relations to the other departments of Cluj University, as well as the their scientific and logical foundation within the double specialization, are extensively presented, as a proof of the scientist’s determination to lay solid grounds to the Romanian tertiary geographical education at Cluj University. Keywords: Upper Dacia University of Cluj, Geography Department, Faculty of Sciences. "

Введение. Правильный и рациональный выбор своей будущей профессии является определяющим фактором в жизни любого человека. Большинство абитуриентов на момент поступления в какой-либо вуз зачастую не имеет представления о роде деятельности, не может проанализировать все позитивные и негативные стороны работы, что препятствует выбору подходящей им специальности ввиду отсутствия интересов и склонностей к данному виду занятий. Решением проблемы здесь может выступить профориентационная работа. Цель – обосновать целесообразность проведения вузами профориентационной работы для оказания помощи абитуриентам в выборе будущей профессиональной деятельности на примере Санкт-Петербургского университета государственной противопожарной службы МЧС России. Материал и методы. Для оценки значимости профориентации в Санкт-Петербургском университете ГПС МЧС России был проведен ряд экспериментов. Объектом исследования был выбран контингент из бакалавров, магистров и профессорско-педагогического состава. Цель проведения экспериментов – определение облика выпускника – высококвалифицированного специалиста методом проведения анкетирования. Результаты и обсуждение. Полученные статистические данные рассчитывались при помощи специальной компьютерной программы. Проводится анализ профориентационной работы в вузе: ее актуальность, значимость, необходимость для обучающихся. Приводится анализ исследований, проведенный в трех группах (бакалавров, магистров и профессорско-преподавательского состава), по определению облика будущего специалиста. Показывается подход к ее проведению в выпускных классах школ, во время «Дня открытых дверей» в аудиториях, учебном центре. Профориентационная работа позволит привлечь в Санкт-Петербургский университет ГПС МЧС России значительно больше поступающих по специальности «Пожарная безопасность» и направлению подготовки «Техносферная безопасность», тем самым поднять рейтинг вуза, а абитуриентам сделать правильный выбор в определении будущей профессии. Заключение. Профориентация должна явиться одним из основных инструментов, позволяющим абитуриентам понять, осмыслить, оценить свои желания, возможности, сопоставить их с требованиями, предъявляемыми к данной специальности в вузе. Introduction. The right and rational choice of the future profession is the determining factor in the life of any person. Most applicants at the time of admission to a university often have no idea of the type of activity, cannot analyze all the positive and negative aspects of the work, which therefore prevents them from choosing a suitable specialty due to lack of interests and propensity for this type of occupation. The solution to the problem here can be career guidance work. Aim and objectives. The purpose of the article is to justify the expediency of conducting vocational guidance work by universities to assist applicants in choosing future professional activities on the example of Saint Petersburg University of State Fire Service of Emercom of Russia. Result and discussion. A number of experiments were carried out to assess the importance of vocational guidance at the Saint Petersburg University of State Fire Service of Emercom of Russia. The subject of the study was a contingent of bachelors, masters and the teaching staff of the faculty. The purpose of the experiments is to determine the appearance of a highly qualified graduate by means of a questionnaire. The statistics obtained were calculated using a special computer program. The article analyses vocational guidance work in the university: its relevance, importance, necessity for students. The analysis of studies carried out in three groups: bachelor, master and faculty to determine the appearance of the future specialist is given. An approach to its implementation in the final grades of schools, during the «Open Day» in classrooms, in the training center is shown. Vocational guidance work will allow to attract to Saint Petersburg University of State Fire Service of Emercom of Russia much more applicants in the specialty «Fire safety» and the direction of preparation «Technospheric safety», thus to raise the rating of the university, and applicants to make the right choice in determining the future profession. Conclusion. Authors consider that career guidance has to be one of the main tools allowing entrants to understand, comprehend, estimate the desires, opportunities, to compare them with requirements imposed to this specialty in higher education institution.

Abstract.THE EMOTIONAL METAPHORS ON THE STUDENTS LEARNING SEEN BY THE FUTURE PROFESSORS OF THE MASTER OF SECONDARY EDUCATIONThe personal and emotional metaphors help teachers to reflect on their conceptions and their roles, give us an overview of classroom life and build bridges between the cognitive and affective. In this study a pretest personal and emotional metaphors for teacher and student learning from a sample of students in the Master of Secondary teacher training at the University of Extremadura (Spain) are analyzed. The method of data collection was an open questionnaire where they had to describe their metaphors and make a drawing of them. In research conducted adapt the four categories of Leavy et al. (2007): Behavioral-transmissive, cognitive-constructivist, situated and selfreferential. The results indicate that in the general metaphors regarding student learning, the highest number correspond to self-referenced ones (44.9%), followed by transmissive-behaviorists (32.0%), cognitive-constructivists (14.1% ) And those located. In the general metaphors of the post-test, the participants have expressed a total of 46 metaphors, and the highest number correspond to self-referenced ones (35.0%), followed by behavioral-transmissive ones (30.0%), cognitive-constructivists And those located (7.5%). When comparing the percentage of emotional metaphors with the totals obtained in the pretest and posttest, they fall in the behaviorist-transmissive category and increase in the other three categories, in relation to total metaphors. Basic and social emotions, positive, negative and neutral in the students’ learning have been expressed and there are more negative emotions.Keywords: education, metaphors, emotions, student, secondary masterResumen.Las metáforas personales y emocionales ayudan al profesorado a reflexionar sobre sus concepciones y sus roles, nos dan una visión global de la vida del aula y tienden puentes entre lo cognitivo y lo afectivo. En este estudio se analizan en un pretest y en el postest las metáforas personales y emocionales que tienen los profesores sobre el aprendizaje del alumnado de ciencias de una muestra de estudiantes del Máster de Secundaria de formación del profesorado de la Universidad de Extremadura. El procedimiento de recogida de datos fue un cuestionario abierto donde tenían que describir sus metáforas y realizar un dibujo de ellas. En la investigación realizada adaptamos las cuatro categorías de Leavy et al. (2007):conductistas-transmisivas, cognitivas-constructivistas, situadas y autorreferenciadas. Los resultados indican que en las metáforas generales respecto al aprendizaje de los alumnos, el mayor número corresponde a las autorreferenciadas (un 44.9%), seguidas de las transmisivas-conductistas, (un 32.0%), de las cognitivas-constructivistas (un 14.1%) y de las situadas. En las metáforas generales del postest, los participantes han expresado un total de 46 metáforas, y el mayor número corresponde a las autorreferenciadas (35.0%), seguidas de las conductistas- transmisivas (30.0%), de las cognitivas-constructivistas (27.5%) y de las situadas (7.5%). Al comparar el porcentaje de metáforas emocionales con las totales obtenidas en el pretest y en el postest bajan en la categoría conductista-transmisiva y sube en las otras tres categorías, respecto a las metáforas totales. Se han expresado emociones básicas y sociales, positivas, negativas y neutras en el aprendizaje del alumnado y se presentan emociones más negativas.Palabras claves: educación, metáforas, emociones, estudiante de orientación, máster de Secundaria.

Abstract The changes that occur in the labour market due to the recent evolution registered in the field of accounting, led us to initiate a study in which we have as a purpose to analyse the perception that employers and students enrolled in the faculties for accounting from the Western part of our country have regarding the importance of the professional and transversal competencies when they get hired. The research tools used within this research are on the one side grounded on the quiz for data collection, and on the other side the ANOVA method for the analysis of the perception differences found in these two groups discussed upon. The results found in this work represent in the opinion of the authors an important reference mark for the university instruction of the young people who are about to enter the accounting profession, but also for the future employers who are about to interact with them.

Resum: La universitat de Cervera, fundada per Felip V, suposà una fita important per a Catalunya: per un costat, naixia com un projecte borbònic de futur i, per un altre, significava que les universitats catalanes històriques havien estat abolides, en virtut de la política repressora del nou monarca. El present article analitza aquella institució i el fracàs d’aquell projecte. La creació de la Universitat ha de situar-se en un context reformista de tall centralista, propi de les noves monarquies europees que van prendre com a imatge la cort i l’acció en política interna de Lluís XIV. Tanmateix, amb el pas dels anys, aquella proposta es va veure frustada. Paraules clau: Universitat de Cervera, orígens, declivi, Catalunya, segle XVIII Abstract: The University of Cervera, founded by Philip V, was an important milestone for Catalonia: on the one hand, it was born as a Bourbon project for the future and, on the other, it meant that historic Catalan universities had been abolished, under the policy repressive of the new monarch. This article discusses that institution and the failure of that project. The creation of the University must be situated in a reformist context of a centralist nature, typical of the new European monarchies that took as their image the court and action in domestic politics of Louis XIV. However, over the years, that proposal was thwarted. Key words: University of Cervera, foundation, declivity, Catalonia, 18th. century

Formal Lecture

Friedrich Ludwig's appointment in medieval music at the University of Straßburg came at a crucial time for German musicology, then a new discipline in a flourishing academic environment. Upon entering his post at Straßburg in the autumn of 1905, Ludwig delivered a formal lecture, here translated, in which he outlined the goals for twentieth-century medieval musicology. While many of these goals, in particular the editing of certain theorists and late medieval repertories, have been achieved, other directions implied in Ludwig's synthetic approach have received less attention. Ludwig's own musicology was a creative combination of forces: on the one hand, a reaction to earlier French scholarship in archaeology and philology; on the other, a borrowing of recent German trends in historiography, philosophy and music. Most notable is the influence of Ranke and Hegel on Ludwig's then new concept of latent rhythm (i.e., ‘modal rhythm’) in medieval music. A century of scholarship later, Ludwig's vision for musicology as an innovative interdisciplinary conjunction has much to teach us.

Shed Light

Abstract Becoming academically literate involves two main parties: teaching staff and students. Previous research (Belcher, 1994; Cotton, 2004; Van de Poel & Brunfaut, 2004) has indicated that a discrepancy exists between the interpretations of and expectations about academic literacy of teaching staff on the one hand and students on the other. The different interpretations of academic literacy and the lived experiences of both parties need to be identified before the existing discrepancy between the concept as used by teaching staff and students can be narrowed or even bridged. This article is based on the results of a study conducted at the University of Antwerp in 2009. It aims to shed light on the students’ interpretation of academic literacy and integrate the student perspective in a definition of academic literacy.

Purpose This study aims to explore undergraduate students’ perceptions of teaching information and communication technology (ICT) courses in the library and information science (LIS) program in Jordanian universities. It also aims at investigating the correlation between the impact of some variables, namely, gender, the type of university, academic year and student GPA on and their students’ views. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative methods were adopted. A questionnaire with 40 items was distributed on a stratified random sample of 220 students from four LIS departments in Jordan and, of whom, 203 responded with a response rate of 92.3 per cent. Findings Research findings indicated that teaching ICT courses was considered highly important. Students stressed on the importance of incorporating ICT courses in LIS programs. They also pointed out the competence of the teaching staff and the efficacy of their teaching methods. On the other hand, student assessments of the curriculum content, the teaching pedagogy and methods of assessment were on an average level. In addition, the findings indicated that resources and facilities necessary to teach ICT courses were available and adequate. It was noted that the “university” was the only factor that affected results; the University of Jordan students showed a higher satisfaction. The other factors (gender, academic year and GPA) did not appear to affect student perceptions. Originality/value Previous studies investigated the importance of teaching ICT courses in general but did not consider students’ perceptions. Only a few studies discussed students’ perceptions of studying ICT courses but in a different context, i.e. Kuwait. This research focused on students’ perceptions of studying ICT in Jordan as a new geographic region. This would be beneficial for other developing countries to learn from this experience and refine their ICT curricula and LIS programs accordingly.

In the framework of the transdisciplinary educational innovative project “Sciences and Arts” at the University of Valencia, we present here the design and outcome of an activity around the phenomenon of scientific travelers. It consisted in a scientific-literary tour through the Botanical Garden of the University of Valencia, that 100 students from the subjects “Natural Sciences for teachers” and “Literary training for teachers” attended. The activity was designed as a collaborative work in which scientific travelers served as a pretext to address six educational aspects that the students from each subject tackled in two different ways: from a more scientific than literary approach and viceversa. The students valued very much the possibility of interaction with the other group, the fact that the expositions took place at a natural environment, the integrating of Sciences and Arts and the didactic transposition carried out.

In the XIV century. centripetal tendencies began to appear in the Moscow principality. Inside the Russian church, several areas were distinguished. Part of the clergy supported the specificobar form. The other understood the need for transformations in society. As a result, this led to a split in the Russian church in the 15th century for "non-possessors" and "Josephites". The former linked the fate of the future with the ideology of hesychasm and its moral transformation, while the latter sought support in alliance with a strong secular power.
