Accessibility of Education in Conditions of Health Crisis

The priority objective of the authorities in the context of the current health crisis is to maintain a balance between protecting the health of the population and the functioning of social systems as close as possible to normal. Regarding the educational system, the closure of educational institutions or the conduct of classes in an alternative or "hybrid" manner (some students will be physically present in classrooms and another will be online for certain periods of time) are measures by which it is protected. the health of students and teachers and which are part of the "normalization" of the functionality of the system. In this paper we intend to analyze some of the challenges that the education system must respond. The data we will use in this material from national and international research and INS and Eurostat data.

Career Counselling – Essential Part of the Personal and Professional Development Process for the Students and Young Reserchers in the Engineering Field

Career counselling is an important process in the personal and professional development of young professionals. In a continuously changing labour market, the graduates in the engineering field have been rapidly become conscious that the technical abilities are only the core of their professional profile, and the need to add a wide range of soft skills become mandatory prerequisites imposed by the human resources services in the recruiting companies. Our research investigated the impact of a soft skills training programme developed in the framework of a European Union funding project. The results revealed a vivid interest of young researcher in the engineering filed for the personal and professional growth especially for the development of communication and teamwork abilities. The professional counselling activities are a largely integrated component among the activities and the general intervention directions proposed by the European funding projects revealing a real need for the sustainable development of these support activites.

The Valences of Communication in a Crisis Situation

The frequency with which it is used - ubiquitously integrating with the linguistic arsenal of modern man - places next to the concept of crisis the meaning of those categories of events that bring with them deviations from the axis of a natural and desirable course of daily life. Such eventual frameworks (from natural disasters, economic recession, pandemic, to situations that upset to reconfigure family life, etc.), through their diversity and complexity, increase the difficulty of exhaustive theoretical classification of the concept. There are situations that take place against a background of accentuated emotional vulnerability, with behavioral changes not specific to ordinary life contexts, with exaggerated response reactions, the one in question being in a perpetual search for answers. As a tool that vigorously proves its potential in interpersonal relations in general, effective communication remains indispensable for the trajectory of the crisis situation, whatever its configuration. Integrating a perspective of interdisciplinary approach - anthropological, chronological (historical), psycho-socio-behavioral, and crisis management - the article highlights the interdependence of the concepts of crisis and communication, emphasizing the need for effective cooperation between the two, which becomes an imperative of the situation. crisis.

The Evolution of the Concept of Self-Efficacy and the Factors with Which it Relates

Psychology seeks to explain human behavior and how to interpret the human mind through four fundamental components of work, as follows: Subjective emotional feelings; Cognitive aspects (thinking, intelligence, attention, memory - as measurable dimensions); Behavioral aspects; Psychobiological elements (physical, bodily changes generated by psychological factors (David, 2006). Studies and research in the field (Robu, 2017) also indicate a very general classification of the skills available to man throughout his stages of psychological development, respectively cognitive skills and noncognitive skills. The much studied stages of the child's development as well as the other stages of development, although abundant in information, do not constitute a closed chapter, and the development issue still maintains the current controversy between the degree of contribution given by heredity versus environment, simultaneously with a relative academic consensus generated by the interaction between them.

Personal Growth Initiative and Well-Being Among Pre-University Teachers: A Correlational Study

In the context of current social, cultural and economic changes, as well as the complexity of the teaching career, efforts aimed at individual development and personal growth are a key need. Current research points out that, in order to be effective in the educational classroom activities, teachers need to acquire a range of strategies aimed at achieving well-being. The present study investigated the relationship between personal growth initiative and well-being among 171 Romanian pre-university teachers. It has been hypothesized that, among teachers, the personal growth initiative is associated with high levels of overall satisfaction with life, job satisfaction and self-esteem. Correlational data provided support for all working hypotheses. The meanings of the personal growth process and the implications that this developmental task has for the teaching career, as well as the quality of the school education are highlighted.

Emotional intelligence - the driving force in efficient leadership

Emotional intelligence is defined as a form of social intelligence that involves the ability to discriminate, monitor and use one's own and others' emotions to guide one's own thoughts and actions (Albrecht K. 2007). The purpose of the research is to verify the extent to which the level of emotional intelligence influences the leadership style. The objectives of the research are: 1. identifying the profile of leaders; 2. appreciation of the level of emotional intelligence influences the appreciation of the leadership style; 3. the level of leadership responsibilities influences the appreciation of the leadership style; 4. the gender of the respondents influences the appreciation of the leadership style of the bosses. In conclusion, we observed a significant correlation between leadership style and the level of leadership responsibilities, in the sense that as leaders receive new career challenges the leadership style focuses on problem solving and obstacles become a priority.

Attitude Towards Work and Emotional Intelligence - Relevant Factors for Professional Integration of People With Disabilities

This article presents the synthesis of a research aimed to identify the relevance of emotional intelligence and attitude towards work in relation to the professional integration of people with disabilities. We analyzed the employment status in the labor market and the education level in order to diagnose the extent to which these two factors can increase the degree of insertion. As a result of the statistical analysis, both in terms of emotional intelligence and attitude towards work, we found that there are no significant differences between the dependent variables. In this context, we believe that all people with disabilities have an equal chance at a professional life and to integrate into society. Education for self-knowledge, the development of professional and social skills, as well as the realization of individualized programs of professional integration are a necessity for people with disabilities.
