Uwarunkowania awansu zawodowego kobiet na polskich uczelniach

The paper deals with the issue of the professional promotion of women working in the aca- demic sector, in the context of Poland’s membership of the European Union. The authors discuss European legal requirements in this respect in order to assess the state of implementation of the recommendations issued by the European Commission and the European Parliament, and included in the European Charter for Researchers and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers in Poland. Next, using statistical data from the 2007 and 2011 re- ports of the Central Statistical Office, the authors describe the proportion of women in the structures of academic workers at different levels of academic career and attempt to explain the conditions of the situation they identify. A considerable part of the paper concerns the results of pilot studies carried out among female academics of the Faculty of Political Science and Journalism of Adam Mickiewicz University for the purpose of this paper. Finally, the authors recommend concrete solutions for changing the legal and institutional conditions in order to increase the number of female academics.

Thematic Model of City Newspapers of Megalopolises (Сontent-Analytical Study)

The article presents the results of a comparative content-analytical sociological study of city newspapers of thirteen million-strong cities in comparison to editions of six small and four medium-sized towns of Russia. The research, conducted by Faculty of Journalism of Lomonosov Moscow State University in 2013-2017, shows that thematic models of these city newspapers issued in different localities along with common features also have essential distinctions. In megalopolis newspapers, in general, the thematic field is very wide, though editorial offices do not pay equal attention to different subjects. Two thematic disproportions were found in the content of newspapers of million-strong cities. The media picture that prevails in their content is generally concentrated on the sphere of leisure and consumption, hardly mentioning productive, professional life of citizens. The second disproportion is connected with the fact that the main attention is paid to social problems of everyday life, the habitat, infrastructure of big cities, but not the person, persons inner world, values, morals, psychology, and relationship with other people. Media of million-strong cities rather work in line with a commercial paradigm. The research has shown that the smaller the town is, the closer newspapers are to requirements and problems which concern inhabitants, they try to light the most important spheres of their life and more evenly distribute the attention to different aspects of activity of the readers, including history, traditions, national crafts. Newspapers of the medium-sized and small towns reflect objective needs of citizens; help to solve specific problems, to keep traditions and basic values.

VIDEO BLOGGING AS AN INNOVATIVE FORM OF THE PROJECT ACTIVITY IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING TO JOURNALISM STUDENTS

Introduction. The appearance of new formats and ways of presenting information inevitably affects the educational process and leads to the necessity to revise the paradigm of pedagogical attitudes and tools of the teaching activity, which in turn generates a number of methodological and didactic problems to be solved. The relevance of the research topic is caused by the current tendency of the distribution of video blogging as an information activity tool that affects the educational environment. There is a steady development of video blogging (a special kind of blog, where the emphasis is made on video information) as a new channel of communication in the educational services market, and using it as a separate form of non-educational project activity within the framework of mastering one or another academic discipline. In the conditions of deficiency of classroom hours and increase in student independent work, project-based education is becoming more and more demanded type of training. Currently, interdisciplinary projects are being widely disseminated at high school; these projects are aimed at vocational guidance for a foreign language, they meet the requirements of the new communication reality and the needs of modern educational systems. The aim of the publication is to consider video blogging as an innovative form of project-oriented learning a foreign language and to characterize the features of creating and implementing media content within the framework of a foreign language training course. Methodology and research methods. In the course the research, such theoretical scientific methods as analysis, synthesis, concretization, generalization, as well as hypothetical-deductive and design methods were applied. Results and scientific novelty. For the first time the article deals with the structure of video blogging as a project work and as a form of professionally oriented foreign language teaching as well, also there are formulated basic didactic questions in the article. These questions have appeared in the process of the development and the implementation of the media project “Episch! Deutsch”, created in 2015 within the framework of the subject “German language” at the Department of Media Linguistics of the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University named after M. V. Lomonosov. The conclusion is made that it is necessary to develop methodological criteria and educational standards that regulate video blogging as a way of teaching and methodological work, also a providing an opportunity for development of teachers’ professional qualification. Practical significance. The materials of the present publication can be useful for future and practicing teachers of a foreign language, as well as for other categories of educators engaged in organization of educational project activities.

The Russian Media Industry in Ten Years: Industrial Forecasts

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This article presents the results of the first stage of the foresight research ­project initiated by the Faculty of Journalism at Lomonosov Moscow State University. The investigation was based on 49 in-depth semi-structured interviews with media managers and experts and has revealed that the Russian media ­system in the next ten years is unlikely to fundamentally change. According to the ­findings of the research the basic business model in Russia in the next ten years will remain the advertising-driven model. At the same time the level of ­customization of media content will rapidly increase. The experts believe that development of solutions for non-linear consumption of TV content, spread of mobile applications, hybridization of different types of content will be amongst the most powerful trends. The majority of interviewed experts confirmed that two factors are likely to sustain the significant level of uncertainty in the media system of Russia; firstly, new practices of media consumption, and secondly the probability that the business model may shift. </span>

THE USE OF «EDUTAINMENT» TECHNOLOGY IN THE COURSE OF TRAINING OF BACHELORS OF PHILOLOGY

The term «edutainment» is formed from two English words: «entertainment» and «education» and combines entertainment and learning. We understand edutainment as a special type of learning that is based on fun and the formation of primary interest in the subject, further involvement with getting pleasure from the learning process and long fascination with a strong interest in the learning process. Edutainment differs from a traditional paradigm of training by the fact that the subject is actively involved in the learning process. As a result of interaction of an informative and entertaining object and active in learning subject we obtain know-ledge, abilities, skills, individual experience, subjective emotions. The direction of edutainment can be divided into two categories. First, it is a way of transmitting information and skills to students with insufficient motivation. Secondly, it is a learning process, understood as entertainment, in which knowledge and skills can be obtained from sources that were not originally conceived as educational materials. The first category includes a specially designed computer games, entertainment and educational TV shows, educational programs as part of the learning process. The second category is the inclusion of informing materials in activities that serve to entertain the audience. The experimental work has been carried out in foreign language classes with students of Faculty of Philology and Journalism of the Orenburg State University. In the result of the study it can be concluded that the «edutainment» technology contributes to the formation of certain personal and professional qualities of students (tolerance, communication skills, abi-lity to overcome the psychological barrier when communicating in a foreign language) by the presence of personal meaning in the study of the subject.

Take It Slow: can feedback from a smart fork reduce eating speed?

Event Abstract Back to Event Take It Slow: can feedback from a smart fork reduce eating speed? Sander Hermsen1* and Roel C. Hermans2 1 Utrecht University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Communication and Journalism, Netherlands 2 Radboud University Nijmegen, Behavioural Science Institute, Netherlands Background: Reductions in eating rate have been recommended as potential behavioural strategies to prevent and treat overweight [1–4]. Unfortunately, eating rate is difficult to modify, due to its highly automatic nature [5]. Training people to eat more slowly in everyday eating contexts, therefore, requires creative and engaging solutions. Aim: The present study examines the efficacy of a smart fork that helps people to eat more slowly. This adapted fork records eating speed and delivers vibrotactile feedback if users eat too quickly. In two studies, we tested the acceptability and user experience of the fork (Study 1), and its effect on eating rate and satiety levels in a controlled lab-setting (Study 2). Method: In study 1, 11 participants (all self-reported fast eaters) ate a meal using the fork in our laboratory and used the fork for three consecutive days in their home setting. Participants took part in semi-structured interviews after the first meal and upon returning the fork, covering perceived effect on eating rate, comfort of use, accuracy, and motivational and social aspects of fork use. Interviews were coded and a thematic classification analysis was performed. In study 2, 128 participants (all self-reported fast eaters) ate a standardized meal using the fork in our laboratory. We used a between-participants design with 2 conditions; participants ate their meal either with vibrotactile feedback from the fork (experimental condition) or ate their meal without vibrotactile feedback (control condition). Eating rate, meal duration, error rate (number of bites taken faster than 10 seconds after previous bite), total food intake, and satiety were recorded for every participant. Results: Study 1: All participants felt that the feedback was generally accurate and consistent. Fork size, weight, and intensity of the feedback were seen as comfortable and acceptable. All participants reported a heightened awareness of eating rate and all but one participant reported eating more slowly with the fork. Study 2: Participants in the experimental condition ate significantly slower, and with a lower error rate than those in the control condition. Feedback did not significantly affect the amount of food eaten. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that this smart fork is an acceptable and effective tool to disrupt and decelerate eating rate. Participants find the fork comfortable and accurate enough for use in natural contexts, and experimental results show that the fork does influence eating rate, but not the amount of food consumed. Future research should test the long-term effects of fork use on eating rate to assess whether this smart fork indeed leads to sustainable behavioural change.

Teaching the Сourse “History of Russian Literature” to Journalism Students: Theory and Poetics

The article deals with theoretical and poetological aspects of teaching the discipline History of Russian Literature to students enrolled in a bachelor degree in Journalism. The author draws on his own experience of teaching the discipline at the Faculty of Journalism at St. Petersburg State University (Russia). In the area of methods of teaching the general subjects, an approach to teaching literature is sufficiently developed for students studying philology at the university. Meanwhile, today communication science serves as one of the fastest growing areas of scientific knowledge and the sphere of popular practice. However the question of the methods of teaching the history of literature to numerous students studying the communicative science is still not seriously raised. From theoretical point of view, it is not equally important to introduce vast and diverse picture of the literary process in different periods to journalism students, as to philology students. The main task is to teach students how to read and understand literary texts in their correlation with the extra-literary line. In this case the specific character of the literary context and creative manner is more fully revealed through demonstration of the impact of different factors: political, social, common cultural - on the literary process as a whole and individual poetics in particular. In addition, in the teaching process it is necessary to solve such problems as teaching students to use the results of literary analysis of a literary text for learning algorithms of text creation and creating individual media products. The purpose of this article is to actualize literary material in the way of analysis of some examples of general and individual poetics of the literature of 1920 - 1930-s.

«Энциклопедический словарь по истории купечества и коммерции Сибири»: возвращенные имена и раскрытые судьбы

The article is a description of a research project that has been developed for several years now and is devoted to the study of Russian entrepreneurship history. One of the stages of the project was the creation of An Encyclopaedic Dictionary of the History of the Merchant Class and Trade in Siberia (Novosibirsk, Izdatel'stvo «GEO», 2012–2013). This is an unparalleled publication, the first dictionary of this kind in Russian historiography and it is worthy of attention because of the amount of information included and its structure (it contains videos, an academic bibliography, and the choice of authors is remarkable). The project is discussed by Vasiliy Pavlovich Zinoviev, professor of history (Tomsk State University), an eminent specialist in the economic history of Siberia; Evgeniya Vladislavovna Komleva, leading research fellow of the Department of the 2nd Half of the16th – Early 20th Century History of the Institute of History (Russian Academy of Sciences, Siberian Branch), executive editor of the Dictionary; Olga Dmitrievna Zhuravel’, dean of the faculty of Journalism, Novosibirsk State University. The article describes the problems that underlie the realization of this unique large-scale project, the informational potential of the Dictionary that makes it possible to substantiate not only the economic but also cultural paradigm, as well as entrepreneurship as a mode of living of Siberian merchants.

El campo académico de la comunicación en Colombia y sus tensiones

In this essay we intend to analyze the tensions of the academic field of communication, in the professional programs of Communication attached to AFACOM, Colombian Association of Colleges and University Programs of Communication. The research team focused on the analysis of the educational projects of the Faculty or professional undergraduate programs of Social Communication and Journalism, the same as in the educational projects of the universities that are part and to the contents of the courses of communication of these programs. In total eight programs were analyzed communication professionals, all located in the capital of the country. In this project it is assumed to the study of communication as an academic field, as it has defined Pierre Bourdieu; that is to say, the study and training in communication is assumed as a space of forces in which they are presented power struggles and tensions between the different social actors or institutional. In the analysis were found three voltages in the training in the field of communication in Colombia: the first has to do with the nominations and secondments from the field in the classification and the academic relationship with the other subfields. The second voltage is in the relationship between the university projects and projects of the programs. And the third voltage is presented to the interior of the projects of the programs: in terms of the conception of the same field and communication. These tensions show positions of power that directly influence the programs, a close relationship with the market, sum of cultural capitals, primacy of economic capital, difficulty to build educational community, and all of the above calls into question as assume the pressures of the environment, with that capacity, with agents and through that strategies.

Elusive Security in the GDR: Remigrants from the West at the Faculty of Journalism in Leipzig, 1945–61

This article explores how the GDR dealt with intellectual remigrants, in particular ‘bildungsbürgerlich Marxist intellectuals’, who had survived the Third Reich in Western exile. It analyses the political biographies of three such remigrants, namely the journalist Hermann Budzislawski, the publisher and author Wieland Herzfelde, and the journalist and party functionary Hans Teubner. In the late 1940s and 1950s, these three men were appointed to professorships at the Faculty of Journalism at Leipzig University, a future training school of party journalists, and thus filled important strategic positions at the intersection of higher education, mass media, and politics. However, their biographies testify to more than just individual success stories. They point to the difficulties of returning Communists in adapting to the political realities of the GDR in the 1950s, marked by widespread distrust and coercion. Behind the scenes, the remigrants in question here were put under enormous pressure to bow to Party command. As Budzislawski and Herzfelde were Jewish, the article also discusses to what extent their problems were related to antisemitic prejudices in the Stalinist period of the GDR. Regardless of individual differences, this article demonstrates that one of the central hopes of the remigrants, that is, to erase the scars of emigration, remained unfulfilled.

Tabloidyzacja audycji informacyjnych – przyczynek do badań

The text presents and briefly discusses the methodological premises and partial research results of a study fully presented in a book by D. Piontek, B. Hordecki and S. Ossowski Tabloidyzacja dyskursu politycznego w polskich mediach [The tabloidization of political discourse in the Polish media], published by the academic publishing house of the Faculty of Political Science and Journalism of AMU (Poznań 2013). On the basis of the criterion of viewership of Polish channels as well as news programs, the news service Wiadomosci TVP1 and Fakty TVN were selected as the object of the study; the timeframe covered the first two weeks of every month beginning in September 2011 and finishing in August 2012. The research sample amounted to 154 issues of each program. A single news item constituted the object of analysis, while every news item classified as political underwent additional in-depth analysis. A total of 1,421 news items were analyzed (including 350 political ones), 783 from Wiadomosci and 638 from Fakty.

The Business Media for the Rural World – an Analysis on the Romanian Audiovisual

Abstract Starting from the findings a Romanian research group gathered during the project “Models of mass-media consumption in the Romanian rural world: traditional identities, European identities” of the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Studies, University of Bucharest, this article identifies some risk factors in the conceptual design of an audiovisual programme for the rural world. These factors are: (1) differences in the definitions of the public - in our case, the Romanian peasant - as they are held by the journalist, the programme editor, the sources and by the public itself; (2) a quasi-general lack of vision about the future of the rural world, based on a lack of information; and (3) deficiency in applying journalistic information gathering techniques and text writing rules. The conclusions are based on media product analysis of business journalism programmes broadcast by the Romanian public broadcasting services for rural audiences and on questionnaire-based and in-depth interviewing with potential members of the public.

MA thesis abstracts from Addis Ababa University, Faculty of Journalism and Communication 2007

This research attempts to look into what practical changes the broadcasting media in Ethiopia have experienced in light of media regulation policies, and if the intended changes have not taken place, attempts to point to reasons. The period after the coming into power of EPRDF (Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front), 1991 and onwards, marked a change in Ethiopian media politics. Of the reforms EPRDF made was liberalizing the media through granting different freedoms. This was done through various laws and policies. The 1992 press law that gave citizens the freedom to exercise freedom of expression through private print media, the 1999 broadcast proclamation, the 2003 press law and the newly endorsed broadcast proclamation of the year 2007 are the major policies introduced with regard to the media. The 1995 Ethiopian Constitution also is a monumental document for reinforcing freedom of expression in Ethiopia. Article 29 of the Constitution confirms that all citizens have the right to “seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in prints in the form of art, or through any idea of his/her choice” (FDRE Constitution, Art 29). After eight years of the endorsement of the first Broadcast Proclamation in 1999, which further affirms the full grant of the right to own a private broadcasting station, there is no private television station, and radio stations are still under the control of the control of the government in one way or another. Why are the broadcast media regulated severely while full freedom of expression is granted on other arenas? Data for the study was acquired from documents and personal interviews with actors in the media industry. The conclusion of the research include: private broadcasters and licensees do not work together; the new broadcasting regulation policy gives broadcasters a chance to appeal and imprisonment is excluded from the punitive articles.

Quality information on the internet: Norwegian library students on the search

PurposeIn the autumn of 2006, two groups of students from the Faculty of Journalism, Library and Information Science at Oslo University College participated in a cooperative project with the Norwegian online reference service, Biblioteksvar.no (Ask The Library (ATL)). The students were in their third term of studies and received instruction in retrieval systems and tools. The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance of the students in actual reference work. It seeks to examine a sample of questions and answers. In a wider perspective, the study highlights the value of this kind of educational strategy.Design/methodology/approachThe evaluation criteria in this study are based on a qualitative analysis of actual questions and answers from the ATL, student summaries of their own work on the project and interviews with professional librarians working with the ATL service. A substantial amount of data has been collected during the project period.FindingsAnalysis shows that the students generally performed very well. This corroborates the findings from a similar project last year. The students' answers had the same level of quality as the responses supplied by professional, experienced librarians working on the ATL service. Possible reasons for this result are discussed. The study confirms the importance of the reference interview for increasing the quality of the responses.Practical implicationsThe results of the study indicate that the ATL service should not only provide links to information sources in response to user questions, but should also include a short explanation of how the links are found. Further, patron satisfaction surveys are useful. The collection of contextual data about the question and the patron may improve the quality of the response from the service. It is recommended that the SMS‐based service be included in the student project next year so that the students will have the opportunity to participate in all three of the currently available ATL services from Biblioteksvar.no.Originality/valueThe paper may inspire other faculties and schools of information studies to cooperate more closely with the library profession and to prepare students for their future careers as reference librarians through participation in actual reference work from a relatively early stage in the program of study. The project described in this paper illustrates the change from traditional lecture‐based teaching to problem‐based learning in projects as outlined in The Quality Reform in Norwegian Higher Education.
