Self-Education Into Maturity in Light of the Theoretical Approach of Zdzisław Chlewiński

This paper aims to answer the research question: How to educate oneself towards maturity in light of the theoretical approach of Zdzisław Chlewiński? Chlewiński developed the theory of mature personality, identifying three components: reliable insight into oneself (authenticity), autonomy and a personalistic attitude towards other people. In this paper, self-education towards maturity is considered as developing the qualities listed by Chlewiński, thus becoming increasingly authentic and autonomous as well as increasingly human in one's relation to the other. Using Chlewiński's method of text analysis, the following areas (tasks) of self-education towards maturity were identified: (1) in terms of honest insight into oneself (authenticity): distancing oneself from the excessive, inflexible use of defence mechanisms that lead to the formation of a distorted self-image and playing inaccurate roles; a reliable answer to the question about the most important life values; the formation of an attitude of gratitude; (2) in terms of autonomy: the formation of pro-social and altruistic life plans; the development of a solid willpower and self-reliance; (3) in terms of the personalistic attitude towards other people: building empathic and supportive relations, distancing oneself from manipulative behaviour (including ingratiation). To illustrate self-education with respect to the aforementioned areas, the selected aspects of biographies of truly mature individuals, prominent Polish people representing different lifestyles, were referred to: Karol Wojtyła, who later became Pope John Paul II; General Fieldorf “Nil” – a hero of World War II; and Wanda Półtawska – a doctor of psychiatry, 102 years old in 2023 when this paper is being written. Their biographies provide inspiration for self-education towards maturity. On the basis of the analysis undertaken, it was concluded that Zdzisław Chlewiński's theory can serve as a source of guidance for further analyses of the biographies of truly mature people.

Safety Leadership and Performance in Indonesia’s Construction Sector: The Role of Project Owners’ Marurity

The construction sector in Indonesia witnesses a significant number of work accidents, with construction sites being particularly prone to such incidents. It is imperative for stakeholders, especially project owners, to prioritize safety performance. The authorization of safety plans empowers project owners, granting them substantial influence over safety outcomes. This research employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to investigate the relationship between project owners' safety leadership and safety performance, with valuable input obtained from contractors who directly interact with project owners. The identified variables encompass leader's maturity attributes, psychosocial factors, participatory approaches, communication practices, and competence levels. All interrelationships between the variables demonstrate high significance in shaping safety performance (with z-scores exceeding 1.96). Two distinct patterns are identified to characterize project owners' leadership styles. The first pattern relates to the personal maturity of the owner, while the second pattern focuses on the owner's ability to foster effective stakeholder relationships. To manifest maturity, project owners must make three key contributions: 1) ensuring safety costs are factored into the project value, 2) procuring contractors with well-defined safety policies, and 3) ensuring swift responses to accidents. These findings underscore the importance of project owners in enhancing construction safety practices, emphasizing their role beyond that of contractors.

The Impact of International Student Mobility on Multicultural Competence and Career Development: The Case of Students from Latin America and the Caribbean in Barcelona

Every year, an increasing number of students decide to study abroad in non-English-speaking countries, and Spain is recently a very popular destination within Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) communities. This paper attempts to deepen our knowledge of the impact of international student mobility (ISM) on students’ multicultural identity and career development. To do so, the experiences of 10 LAC students who completed a one-year degree programme in Barcelona are examined. Semi-structured interviews were employed to evaluate the international experiences one year after their completion. During their post-mobility interviews, participants were able to reflect on the ISM through a structured dialogue that allowed them to analyse the experience from a distance. Findings indicate that the ISM helped them to grow personally and professionally and, one year after the stay, they are aware of this evolution. They show an increase in their self-confidence, and they see the experience as an opportunity for personal maturity. This suggests that universities should consider the importance of offering guidance to these students when they end their master’s degree and are considering their plans for the future.

Quo Vadis Pendidikan Pesantren di Era Digital

The results of this study indicate that the potential for the development of Islamic boarding schools in the digital era is quite wide open. We can observe this from the various strengths and potentials possessed by pesantren which are quite dominant. However, it turns out that the strengths and potential possessed by pesantren are not always a reference for the development of education in general. To implement education in the digital era, for example, there are still some perceptions that come from both internal and external pesantren who are worried about the fading of the core education of pesantren, namely the formation of human morality. Such a perception cannot be denied because implementing education in the digital era requires the readiness of adequate human resources in terms of knowledge, skills and mature personality so that they are able to utilize and respond to information technology in this digital era as a form of formulation of educational development in Islamic boarding schools.

The Qari are the integral basis of the teachings of the Quran, methodological techniques and rules of reading and memorization. Qari, who own the Quran, are revered as carriers of high culture, increasing knowledge and cognition of the Quran. After all, in the Islamic world, knowledge, the teaching of the Quran, which became the beginning of science, enlightens a person’s mind, improves his behavior, calms his heart and elevates his spirit.

It is natural that the technology of implementing humanistic education in combination with the rhythm of human development is always in the process of being studied.

Особенности внутренней позиции взрослого у современных учащихся раннего юношеского возраста

<p>The article presents the results of an empirical study dealing with the features of the adult internal position as a motivational basis for self-determination in modern high school and college students. The study aims to analyze the adult internal position in adolescent students, which is seen as a confluence of the social need for autonomy and the cognitive need for professional education. The hypothesis was tested that the peculiarity of the studied psychological phenomenon is due to the fact that the external conditions of development (environmental factors and institutional requirements for growing up) outpace the formation of internal conditions that ensure the modern young people’s individual psychological readiness for self-determination. We tested the assumption that the institutional requirements for adulthood outpaced the modern young people’s individual psychological readiness for self-determination. Standardized scale methods were used to diagnose the level of professional identity (A. Azbel), the level of ambition and self-esteem (the Dembo-Rubinshtein scale modified by A. Prikhozhan), the level of subjective control (modified by A. Gretsov), as well as to study the emotional attitude towards learning (modified by A. Andreeva-A. Prikhozhan). The sample of the study is 191 people, high school and colleges students from Moscow and Orsk. Correlative, cluster and factor analysis of the data obtained confirmed the assumptions made about the structure of the adult internal position in the early youth and the features of its formation in post-industrial societies. It is shown that the formation of the professional identity of modern high school and college students is more consistent with the objective requirements of the social situation, rather than the level of personal maturity necessary for making informed decisions.</p>
