Passive Attitude

The masterly lesson, tedious and lacking in motivation for today's university students, provokes a passive attitude from them in the classroom. If they also use their mobile phones to escape from the classroom, the situation seems to get worse. Low attendance rates and poor academic results are some of the consequences of a serious problem: the lack of commitment of students to their learning process. Incorporating elements of games, together with new technologies, may be a possible solution. Thus, in the academic year 2018/2019 the classes of the subject Operations Management II taught throughout the fourth year of Business Administration and Management Degree offered by the University of Cadiz were gamified with Kahoot! The students felt more motivated and their grades improved in comparison to the previous year. In addition, a comparison was made with the results shown in the exams of the academic year after the gamified activity.

PurposeThis paper explores the dissonance between co-production and expectations of impact in a research project on student loneliness over the 2019/2020 academic year. Specific characteristics of the project – the subject matter, interpolation of a global respiratory pandemic, informal systems of care that arose among students and role of the university in providing the context and funding for the research – brought co-production into heightened tension with the instrumentalisation of project outputs.Design/methodology/approachThe project consisted of a series of workshops, research meetings and mixed-methods online journalling between 2019 and 2020. This paper is primarily a critical reflection on that research, based on observations by and conversations between the authors, together with discourse analysis of research data.FindingsThe authors argue that co-producing research with students on university contexts elevates existing tensions between co-production and institutional valuations of impact, that co-production with students who had experienced loneliness made necessary space for otherwise absent support and care, that the responsibility to advocate for evidence and co-researchers came into friction with how the university felt the research could be useful and that each of these converging considerations are interconnected symptoms of the ongoing marketisation of HE.Originality/valueThis paper provides a novel analysis of co-production, impact and higher education in the context of an original research project with specific challenges and constraints. It is a valuable contribution to methodological literatures on co-production, multidisciplinary research into student loneliness and reflexive work on the difficult uses of evidence in university contexts.

The third volume of the "Opera omnia Melchioris Cani" covers Cano's first "Relectio de sacramentis in genere". Melchor Cano held this important lecture in the early summer of 1547 as a professor at the University of Salamanca, as a ceremonial lecture at the end of the academic year. The subject itself offers a highly interesting example of sacramental theology, which was widely discussed in the 16th century, in particular at the Council of Trent. First printed in 1550, the lecture was intensively studied until the 19th century. In addition to a general introduction to the author and the topic, a text-critical Latin edition including a German translation is offered here for the first time.

AbstractThe aim of this article was to address the subject of intercultural education under­stood as a problem, which, in the process of educating students who will become teachers, should be taken into consideration in such a scope to make sure that the future teachers can support their pupils in the formation of desired attitudes and behaviours in their relations with individuals of different cultural, national and ethnic backgrounds. The first section deals with the importance of intercultural education in the context of the meaning of the following terms: multiculturalism, culture and education. It refers to selected scopes and interpretation of interculturalism and intercultural education. Within such a framework, the problem of the importance of and the need for intercultural education is discussed based on the opinions of peda­gogy students and according to the results of the author’s own surveys conducted at the University of Opole (UO) and the Slovakia-based University of Žilina (UŽ) during the academic year of 2016-2017.

The article looks at the issue of different approaches to building a professional career among selected representatives of the Baby Boomer, X, and Y generations who graduated from the University of Economics in Wroclaw. Based on the study of literature that is available on the subject as well as empirical research, an attempt was made to identify basic expectations and attitudes towards work as exhibited by the examined graduates and to present recommendations for human resource management practitioners. The research was conducted in 2017 using the diagnostic survey method with an online survey questionnaire that was made available at the University of Economics. The results of the study indicate that there exist identifiable differences in approach to building a professional career that depend on generation association. Moreover, building what is known as cross–generational solidarity should be pursued in teams diversified in terms of age. This should be done with reference to various areas of the professional career—something respondents felt was missing. Representatives of the older generations, who hold valuable knowledge as well as experience and worldly wisdom, should act as mentors for younger coworkers. And vice versa, younger generations might assist their older colleagues in filling their competence gap in new technologies.

A new classification system is introduced this year in the annual listing of graduate theses on mission and related subjects. The genera] listing is by author, alphabetically, with each thesis assigned a serial number. The subject index then classifies each thesis, identifying its relation to one or more subjects, by use of its serial number and short title. This year 25 theses from countries other than the United States are reported. Reader cooperation in expanding the list in December 1968 is sought. As a matter of policy, B. D. and M. R. E. theses are not included. A few titles represent theses accepted prior to the 1966-67 academic year, about which information had not been received when the December 1966 issue went to press. Any inquiry should be addressed to the school where the thesis was submitted, not to the Missionary Research Library nor the Editorial Office. If the dissertation has been microfilmed, orders may be sent to the University Films, 313 North First Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48103.

The University of Hasselt or UHasselt has a long tradition of didactic innovation. From its inception in 1972, the academic year was divided into six six-week periods with only a few courses in each period ending with a final assessment. Subsequently, internships were scheduled from the beginning of the course so that students would have the most concrete picture possible of their future working environment. In the early 2000s, it was decided that the training of students should prepare them as well as possible for a professional life integrating lifelong learning. In addition, their training should make maximum use of the possibilities offered by new technologies. At the same time, the university was instructed to examine how much and how different disciplines could use self-directed learning while reducing the volume of on-campus courses. The proposed target was one third face-to-face and two thirds self-directed. The calculation tool was the ECTS where one credit could only count for 27 hours. For a subject such as "Business French", which weighed six ECTS, this meant 54 hours of classroom teaching and 108 hours of autonomous teaching.
