Prenatalny okres życia człowieka
2020
Rozwój człowieka w prenatalnym okresie życia interesował ludzi już w czasach starożytności.

Radzi sobie z trudnościami hamującymi jego rozwój, przystosowuje do zmiennych warunków życia nie tylko wewnątrz-, ale i zewnątrzmacicznego, nabywa pewnych nawyków i przyzwyczajeń, reaguje w indywidualny, charakterystyczny dla siebie sposób

2017
In my case study, I used two composing tasks to examine how the inclusive composing method (OSM) I have developed promotes the achievement of the aims of the new core curriculum for basic education 2014 and realises the core metaphors of learning. I have created a learning triangle tool to determine how the musical contents, the principles for developing working culture and the goals of music teaching, transversal competences and national education are linked with the latter. In addition to participation and the gaining and creation of knowledge, I included operative competences in these core metaphors. I examined the means OSM offers to evaluate how the students achieve the aims of musical…

2022
This article aims to understand how principals perceive collective competences in their schools’ shared leadership contexts. Collective competences are crucial in shared leadership but have not been widely explored within educational leadership studies. This study investigates collective competences through two intersected models: attribute and relational models. The data comprise interviews conducted with 12 Finnish principals in comprehensive and secondary schools who practiced shared modes of leadership. Due to the Finnish school culture emphasising collaboration, the principals were expected to be able to broadly consider the collective side of competences in their schools. The data wer…
