„Ja duszą kwitnę, duszą”… Wokół twórczych wypowiedzi młodzieży o miejscu… oraz własnym życiu, inspirowanych dorobkiem Zosi Smreczyńskiej i Władysława Orkana

This publication is presented as part of the broadly understood didactics of the Polish language, in particular regional education seen from a modern perspective. A detailed consideration is devoted to aproposal to use geopoetic tools, including the topographic Outlook and the educational possibilities of literary texts and Young people’s creative endeavours, by showing their place of residence as constantly opening up New topographies, confirming or deconstructing the previous ones. The author treats the Podgórze region as a bearer of anthropological content, a link between various ways of recording experiences related to it. The research issues focus on the Gorce Mountains seen from the perspective of: 1) Władysław Orkan’s statements about mountains and their values; 2) the works of Zosia Smreczyńska intertwined with her experience of her native environment; c) poetry submitted by Young people participating in the Zosia Smreczyńska VIII County Poetry Competition and their various ties with their home towns.

Analysis of the external context of educational organizations that significantly affects educational outcomes in regional education management systems

Introduction. The relevance of the study is due to the contradiction between the presence of common strategic objectives for the education development to ensure the competitiveness of Russian schoolchildren in international comparative studies and the lack of a mechanism that allows one to objectively assess the differences between educational organizations due to the peculiarities of the student body and the characteristics of the territory where they are located. The research purpose is to form a list of characteristics that are consistent with international and Russian monitoring studies and forms of statistical reporting, making it possible to identify educational organizations operating in different socio-economic conditions. Materials and methods. The study was carried out on the databases of the results of monitoring studies and procedures for assessing the quality of general education in the Tomsk region. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to assess the statistical significance of differences in data. Research results. An information base has been formed, including aggregated socio-economic characteristics correlated with the educational achievements of the student body from 273 general education organizations of the Tomsk region (data as of 2019). The revealed statistically significant differences (p<0.001) between small, rural and urban educational organizations will make it possible to objectively analyze the educational achievements of a particular educational organization, specifically identify deficiencies and effective management practices, as well as coordinate the socio-economic policy of the Tomsk region. Discussion and conclusion. The agreement of the list of socio-economic characteristics with international studies initiated by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) will allow regional education authorities, regardless of participation in international comparative studies, to calculate a quantitative index reflecting educational advantages or disadvantages due to external factors relating to the educational organization. The index calculation in Russian practice is a new urgent task, which is difficult and resource-intensive without special software tools.

Edukacja historyczno-kulturalna i regionalna w powieściach z motywem podróży w czasie. Dwie książki Cezarego Leżeńskiego o Bartku

This article discusses Cezary Leżeński’s two fantasy-historical novels for children and teenagers:Bartek, Tatarzy i motorynka (1988) and Bartek, Zuzanna i Kopernik (1999).

USING THE ELEMENTS OF TRADITIONAL CULTURE IN THE TEACHING PROCESS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF ETHNOPEDAGOGY AND ETHNOLOGY

Aim. The presented study aims to briefly present the possibilities of using and implementing elements of traditional culture in the teaching processat primary and secondary schools in Slovakia. It points out all the aspects and factors that enter the educational process when using these elements. Concept. Regional education is beingappliedin the educational environment of schools in order to develop the children with the right stimuli. The aim of including knowledge and partial topics of traditional folk culture in teaching is mainly to motivate students and arouse their interest in the cultural heritage of their ancestorsand country. We use comparative methods to clarify the relationships between ethnology, pedagogy, ethnopedagogy, and their interconnection in the pedagogical process. We define the primary goals of regional education, methods, and forms of teaching regional education, focusing on interactive forms of teaching. Results and conclusion. The values and the importance of traditional culture should be assessed in terms of the functions of education and training ina broader societal perspective.Regional education should make a significant contribution to the transmission of culture in education. The research results indicate the need to implement ethnopedagogy into the current educational process at all levels of education and scientifically verify its success. Research restrictions. The main research problems or limitations are related to the factthat this subdiscipline has not yet received attention in Slovakia. Originality. The paper presents an original view of ethnopedagogy and regional education issues through the lens of ethnology and pedagogy and defines key subjects of interest focusing on Slovak/Central European needs and contexts.

Path Recognition of the Regional Education Expansion Based on Improved Dragonfly Algorithm

To solve the problems of low recognition rate, high misrecognition rate, and long recognition time, the path recognition method of the regional education scale expansion based on the improved dragonfly algorithm is proposed. Through a variety of different behaviors utilized in the optimization process, the dragonfly algorithm model has been constructed. The step size and the position vector are introduced to update the dragonfly’s location. The dragonfly’s foraging behaviors are accurately simulated. Afterward, the dragonfly algorithm is combined with the flower authorization algorithm. The conversion probability is added, and the dragonfly’s global development ability is adjusted in real-time. Then, the dragonfly algorithm is improved. The improved dragonfly algorithm is employed to extract the features of the expansion path of the regional education scale. The improved support vector machine is utilized as a classifier to realize the recognition of the regional education scale expansion path. The experimental results denote that the proposed method has a high recognition rate of the regional education scale expansion path and can effectively reduce the misrecognition rate and shorten the recognition time.

Territorial educational segment as an object of assessment of the functioning conditions of regional education systems

Introduction. The relevance of the study is due to the contradiction between common strategic objectives for the development of education in the Russian Arctic and the regional differences of their implementation. There is virtually no coordination of educational policy between the Arctic regions. The implementation of these objectives requires a certain scientific justification, which means that it involves the study of the general specifics of the education systems of the Arctic regions and the general external factors affecting their condition. The purpose of the study is to identify the factors of the Arctic territory the influence of which allows the Arctic education systems to form one educational segment. Materials and methods. Using the DEA method, the authors assessed the influence of territorial factors of economic and technical, demographic, information and communication orientation on the appropriate characteristics of regional education systems. The study uses materials from Rosstat, federal and regional education authorities. The comparative analysis concerned the study of the quality of the conditions for the functioning of the Arctic educational systems and other regions from the corresponding federal districts. Results. The education systems of the Arctic regions are more homogeneous under the influence of economic and technical (coefficient of variation does not exceed 0.17) and demographic (0.26) factors than the other regional education systems of the federal districts. In addition, the Arctic regions have a higher efficiency of the education systems functioning (efficiency value for the first group of factors is 0.99; for the second – 0.89). These systems react much more differentially to the action of the information and communication factor – they cope with its influence in different ways (the average value of efficiency is 0.66; coefficient of variation reaches 0.39). Discussion and conclusion. Authors have updated and theoretically justified the concept of a territorial educational segment as a set of geographically close regional education systems with common features, problems, history and common group of territorial factors. The general nature of the influence of economic, technical and demographic factors confirmed the presence of not only external (general strategic objectives for the development of education in the Russian Arctic), but also internal reasons for combining the Arctic education systems into a single territorial educational segment.
