MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES PROFILES: STUDENTS VERSUS TEACHERS
Get PDFThe educational popularity of multiple intelligence (MI) theory is related to the basic needs of teachers as they try to create teaching instruction that is both affective and effective. It is essential to promote understanding and appreciation among students and create classrooms, which help foster learners‘ self-esteem and self-motivation. The application of MI theory allows to meeting the needs of different types of learners. Teachers, who understand and use basics of MI theory, can apply human diversity for better teaching. The respondents in this study are students, who study English at Klaipėda University, and their teachers. The findings have been obtained from the online survey completed by the students and the teachers. It contains 56 statements on a 5-point Likert’s scale ranging from (1) to (5). Having completed the survey, respondents received online assessment of their intelligences. The responses of both samples have been compared and processed by a means of the Software Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Pearson’s Correlation Coefficients rho demonstrate strong relationships between the profiles of both samples: their magnitudes are close to 1 and the Significance levels Sig p correspond to probabilities of either 99% or 95%. The obtained data can be extended beyond the researched samples despite their small size. KEY WORDS: multiple intelligences, profiles, assessment of learning strengths, overlapping of scores.

Globalisation brought into the classroom – reflections from the local context in social work and nursing education
Get PDFIn increasingly globalised societies higher education meet challenge to integrate the international and intercultural dimensions into their services, strategic plans, education programmes and research. There were few discussions around the concept of “Internationalization at home” (IaH) during the last years in the academic community. This article generally outlines a process of IaH in higher education, by giving examples from the bachelor programmes of Social Work and Nursing Education at Malmö University, Sweden. The internationalisation of the curriculum at home was shown to have a much greater impact than individual mobility alone. The authors of the article present their own analysis about possibilities to understand the culture, profession in the process of IaH improving professional and intercultural competences. Modern society poses a challenge for professionals – to think globally and to act locally.KEYWORDS: higher education, internationalization at home (IaH) social work, nursing, intercultural competences, global, glocal.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/tbb.v74i2.136

Projektai mokymosi procese: iniciatyvumą įgalinantys aspektai
Get PDFStraipsnyje analizuojamas projektų metodas kaip reikšminga prieiga sukurti veiksmingąmokymosi terpę, kurioje vyrauja palaikymo, motyvuojantys ir besimokančiųjųiniciatyvumą (angl. proactiveness) įgalinantys veiksniai. Projektų metodo svarbai,įgalinant iniciatyvumą, konceptualizuoti pasirinktos trys metodologinės prielaidos:Apsisprendimo ir Pakilumo teorijos, Herzbergo bazinė vadybos mokslo teorija ir Apribojimųteorija. Pirma – besimokančiajam įgalinti reikalingas nuolatinis iššūkis, kaiatliekamas gana sudėtingas, bet paties pasirinktas, jo gabumus, žinias, mokėjimusir įgūdžius atitinkantis darbas (Apsisprendimo ir Pakilumo teorijos), antra – „užsidegimas“,ypatingos pastangos ir energija, kai sukuriama teigiama emocinė aplinka,kurioje vyrauja palaikantys ir motyvuojantys veiksniai (Herzbergo bazinė vadybosmokslo teorija), trečia – svarbios ambicijos ir tikėjimas, prieš kuriuos netenka galiosjokie apribojantys veiksniai, išlaisvina žmogaus kūrybines galias iniciatyviai ir prasmingaiveiklai (Apribojimų teorija). Andragogo tapsmas jungiamąja grandimi tarpaplinkos ir besimokančiųjų, prisiimtas mediatoriaus vaidmuo projektinėje veikloje,autorių nuomone, gali būti reikšminga sąlyga veiksmingai mokymosi aplinkai sukurtiir besimokančiųjų iniciatyvumui įgalinti.PAGRINDINIAI ŽODŽIAI: projektų metodas, iniciatyvumas*, įgalinimas, palaikymo,motyvuojantys, apribojantys veiksniai, mediatoriaus vaidmuo.

Mokytojų rengimo(si) ugdyti mokinių tautinį tapatumą teorinės prielaidos
Get PDFLR švietimo įstatyme (2011) teigiama, kad mokytojas privalo ugdyti tvirtas mokiniųdorovės, pilietines, tautines ir patriotines nuostatas, pagarbą tėvams ir savo kultūriniamtapatumui. Straipsnio tikslas – išnagrinėti mokytojų pasirengimą ugdyti mokiniųtautinį tapatumą, apžvelgiant mokytojų rengimą istorinėje perspektyvoje ir šiandien.To siekiant atlikta mokslinės literatūros ir Lietuvos Respublikos teisės aktų, reglamentuojančiųtautinio tapatumo ugdymą, analizė. Ji suteikia galimybę teigti, kadmokytojas tampa vis svarbesniu pedagoginio proceso dalyviu istorinių, ekonominių,sociokultūrinių visuomenės pokyčių kontekste. Didėja ir mokytojo gebėjimų ugdytimokinių tautinį tapatumą svarba. Tačiau reikia konstatuoti, kad dėmesio tautiniamtapatumui rengiant mokytojus trūksta. Tai rodo, kad deklaruojamas dėmesys tautiškumuidažnai yra tik formalumas, kad priemonės ir instrumentai jam stiprinti nėra rengiami,kad tautiškumo, tautinio tapatumo ugdymas paliekamas asmeninei mokytojoiniciatyvai, visiškai jo šiai veiklai neparengiant..PAGRINDINIAI ŽODŽIAI: tautinio tapatumo ugdymas, mokytojų rengimas mokiniųtautiniam tapatumui ugdyti.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF BODY: INTERSUBJECTIVITY AND TEMPORALITY
Get PDFOn the basis of Merleau-Ponty’s philosophy of body, the article analyses the intersubjective life-world and the time experienced by a body. The consciousness and duality of a body are revealed: a body simultaneously experiences the other and itself. The article discusses a unity of a physical body and an incarnate consciousness, which reveals itself in certain lifelike situation at each point in time, a sensual perception of which each time provides new knowledge and further opens up the world. The article shows that Merleau-Ponty brought a revolution of sensual perception in philosophy. He revealed that sensual perception consisted of various processes of consciousness associated with memory, imagination, feelings and other areas. It is assumed that the reason of the origin of time is the interaction of a subject with things. Analysis of time is a possibility to access to a concrete structure of subjectivity that represents a subject. Time has a transitional nature of movement through the difference between the past and the future in the present. KEY WORDS: philosophy of body, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, lifworld, intersubjectivity, temporality. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181//atee.v1i0.1321
