Future teachers will have to develop the reading habit in their students, as this is an essential factor in schoolchildren. The lack of reading motivation among young people and the need to have it in order to transmit it has been evidenced. Young people often prefer to spend their leisure time using alcohol and other drugs rather than reading books for pleasure. The factors that influence reading motivation are varied, but the objective of this research work focuses on establishing the relationship between reading motivation and the problematic use of alcohol and other drugs in future teachers of Preschool and Primary Education. A total of 178 subjects among university students were recruited (56.6% girls). The ages ranged from 18 to 34 (M = 21.59, SD = 3.52). The first scale used was the MULTICAGE CAD-4 for behavioral addiction together with a Scale for Characterizing Motivation for Academic Reading (EMLA). The results of the study indicate that those young people who were more involved in the consumption of alcohol and drugs had a lower reading habit. Likewise, the study also reveals significant mean differences in reading motivation based on gender and age. This shows the need to enact healthy habits from the university related to increasing reading motivation and promoting the reading habit in future teachers.

However, while a high proportion of the participants declare high or very high intrinsic reading motivation, very feware frequent readers. In addition, differences in reading motivation and reading habit depending on the course were not found.Implications of the discrepancies found between what future teachers say and do as readers are discussed.

Статья посвящена изучению проблеме нейропсихологической устойчивости будущих педагогов и описанию результатов пилотного эксперимента в рамках исследовательской работы на тему «Личный потенциал будущих учителей: детерминанты и динамика». Как никогда, сегодня педагоги оказались в прямом и переносном смысле этого слова, на передовой. Нейропсихологическая устойчивость, либо, ее противоположное значение – нейропсихологическая неустойчивость, является одним из ведущих маркеров готовности к педагогической деятельности у сегодняшних студентов, показателем возможности адаптивных отклонений, функциональной недостаточности будущих педагогов. Авторами проведено теоретическое изыскание по заявленной проблеме и, на основе выделенных теоретических положений проведено исследование, при помощи диагностической методики «Прогноз» и диагностического комплекса «Модуль» на испытуемых юношеского возраста. По результатам исследования, авторы приходят к выводу о необходимости массового исследования нервно-психической устойчивости у молодых людей, будущих педагогических работников и повествуют о выявленных особенностях НПУ в описываемом возрасте, на данной выборке. The article is devoted to the study of the problem of neuropsychological stability of future teachers and the description of the results of a pilot experiment in the framework of a research work on the topic "Personal potential of future teachers: determinants and dynamics". More than ever, today teachers are in the direct and figurative sense of the word, on the front line. Neuropsychological stability, or its opposite meaning – neuropsychological instability, is one of the leading markers of readiness for pedagogical activity in today's students, an indicator of the possibility of adaptive deviations, functional insufficiency of future teachers. The authors conducted a theoretical study on the stated problem and, on the basis of the selected theoretical provisions, conducted a study using the diagnostic method "Prognosis "and the diagnostic complex" Module" on young subjects. Based on the results of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that there is a need for a mass study of neuropsychiatric stability in young people, future teachers, and tell about the identified features of the NSU at the described age, in this sample.

AbstractEntrepreneurship understood as a manifestation of economic activity is an issue widely discussed in literature, especially in the field of economics. Today, a large part of society is involved in establishing and running a business, hence the shaping of entrepreneurial behaviors gains importance among all age groups, especially young people. The main objective of the conducted research was to examine the interest in starting their own business by students and to verify whether the direction of their studies or role in the group affects the students’ willingness to start a business and whether a family member runs a business influences this interest and moreover, whether capital and the idea are the two main criteria conditioning the decision.. The conclusions were based on a study, i.e. (mainly) the cross-analysis of data collected as part of a survey conducted among students of the University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów.
