Funkcjonowanie osób z niepełnosprawnością przez pryzmat kondycji psychicznej członków rodziny

The article is based on fragments of the results of many years of research conducted under the direction of the author, situated in the context of research on the family of people with disabilities and chronic diseases. The main trend of the research was to diagnose the psychological condition of people who have long-term care obligations for a family member by learning about the factors that create the quality of life, life satisfaction, the recognized system of values and its relationship with the health and mental state of the charges. In these studies, an interesting thread turned out to be the knowledge of the relationship between the rehabilitation progress of the charges, changes in their psyche, especially in self-esteem and in the value system, and analogous changes in the mentality of caregivers. The article presents such relationships not only among carers of people with disabilities, but also among able-bodied siblings, who, although not directly burdened with the care of a family member, indirectly feel the effects of a changed and unusual family situation, also incurring the psychological costs of this situation. This is a very important problem in the context of holistic rehabilitation, and family members of people requiring constant care are not covered by any systemic therapeutic assistance. The examined relationships clearly indicate that both the rehabilitation progress of people with disabilities and the mental state of their family members are interdependent, and the rehabilitation process is not only carried out in direct relationship with professionals, but mainly in the family itself, and it is the family members who permanently create the conditions for motivating to overcome barriers related to disability. Therefore, their mental condition is of great importance for improving the functioning of a family member who requires care.The article is based on fragments of the results of many years of research conducted under the direction of the author, situated in the context of research on the family of people with disabilities and chronic diseases.

Gry komputerowe jako narzędzie resocjalizacji – wprowadzenie do problematyki i perspektywy badawcze

The aim of the article is to present computer games as a potential tool for application in social rehabilitation. The author extensively discusses fundamental issues related to computer games, such as terminology and definitions, while focusing on highlighting their distinctive features and diverse functions. Additionally, the article provides social and scientific justification for conducting research on the discussed topic, emphasizing the significance of computer games as a socio-cultural medium, the ongoing phenomenon of digitization, and the increasing engagement of users in such activities. To establish the theoretical foundations, the article refers to contemporary theories of resocialization, including social interactionism theory, creative resocialization, the concept of resilience, and cognitive theories. Furthermore, the author reviews the Polish scientific discourse on games in the field of social rehabilitation pedagogy, highlighting the lack of publications and studies regarding the utilization of computer games in this context. The conducted analysis indicates that the issue of employing computer games in resocialization remains undescribed and unexplored in domestic literature, which may serve as motivation for further research in this field in the future. The discovery of the potential that computer games have in the resocialization process can contribute to their utilization as an effective supporting tool for this process, bringing tangible benefits to individuals at risk of social maladjustment or social non-adaptation. Modernizing the process of resocialization through the use of computer games allows for the creation of an interactive and engaging environment that promotes active learning, the development of social skills, and the cultivation of prosocial attitudes. With their interactivity and adaptability to individual needs, computer games can provide a more efficient and personalized approach to resocialization, thus facilitating a better process of social reintegration for individuals.The aim of the article is to present computer games as a potential tool for application in social rehabilitation.

Architektura ośrodka pomocy społecznej w perspektywie kryzysów współczesnego świata

The article indicates that building an active social welfare center is a challenge in the face of the crises of the modern world. Therefore, building learners and conceptual social welfare centers is crucial for solving complex social problems of the modern world. In view of the panorama of burning crises outlined in the article, the need for subjective care for residents, especially those using the support of a social welfare center, was pointed out. It was emphasized that every citizen, regardless of their living condition, must be treated with appreciation. His participation and contribution to the reconstruction of our local and global world are important. Therefore, designing an open social welfare center that is dynamic to the challenges of the modern world requires a conceptual system defining the given architecture. It is determined by the interrelated components of organizational processes – ideological, programming, communication. Within the considered architecture, the network of relations binding the physical environment of the social welfare center is significant with human actions and experiences. This “between” as a combination of “in” and “among” expresses the spatial and temporal location of the actions taken. This perceived inter-space shapes shared experiences of caring for others. Then, within the imagination of the dialogue and the element of thinking, it is possible to design activities for the renewal of the modern world in a multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral way and to co-create optimal solutions to rebuild the life condition of people. This is reflected in tender actions embedded locally but intertwined globally. Building tender actions can be treated in the category of resistance, an active response to the life of residents in conditions of a specific order and formatted institutional practices. As a result, the recognized need to build and renew the world becomes a vitally important orientation for action. The aim of the article is a theoretical reflection on the architecture of a social welfare center in the perspective of crises of the contemporary world.The article indicates that building an active social welfare center is a challenge in the face of the crises of the modern world.

Niesprawiedliwość epistemiczna a możliwość śledzenia trajektorii cierpienia w wywiadzie autobiograficznym. Etyczny namysł nad metodą

In the technique of Fritz Schütze’s autobiographical interview, it is assumed that the informant faithfully recalls his experiences and tells about them as s/he experienced them. The analysis of the content and formal features of the utterance makes it possible to distinguish process structures later in the story, including the trajectory of suffering. The presented article aims to philosophically consider the ethical consequences of studying people experiencing epistemic injustice using the autobiographical narrative interview technique. Recognizing that individuals and groups subjected to treatment bearing its hallmarks do not have the appropriate means to express their experiences, and their perspective is not understood and considered in society, the author guesses that this impacts the process of reconstructing experiences during interviews. In other words, this article aims to reflect on the importance of the impact of epistemic injustice on the data obtained in interviews and to try to identify ways to minimize its impact on the research process and the conclusions formulated within it.In the technique of Fritz Schütze’s autobiographical interview, it is assumed that the informant faithfully recalls his experiences and tells about them as s/he experienced them.

Wczesne schematy nieadaptacyjne jako predyktory inteligencji emocjonalnej osób dorosłych

The aim of the research was an attempt to capture the influence of Early Maladaptive Schemas and it’s connection to Emotional Intelligence in the population of adults between age 18 and 54. After some hypotheses were made, it became clear that they all go down to making the Early Maladaptive Schemas as a really impactful tool in the process of emerging and shaping emotional intelligence. This also draws our attention to how important this might be and how having multiple and intense Early Maladaptive Schemas (EMS) can impact the way we perceive the world around us and how do we look at ourselves. During the research process of this study the data was collected by electronic devices. 102 people took part in the research (68 females and 34 males). To measure occurrence, intensification and quantity of maladaptive schemas areas The Young Schema Questionnaire YSQ-S3-PL, second version in Polish translation by Justyna Oettingen, Jan Chodkiewicz, Dorota Mącik and Ewa Gruszczyńska (2018) was used. In order to take possession of Emotional Intelligence data, Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire in Polish adaptation by Anna Ciechanowicz, Aleksandra Jaworowska, Anna Matczak (2000) played a major role. After gathering and analyzing data conclusion was made that in deed Early Maladaptive Schemas have a moderate negative connection with Emotional Intelligence. Results suggest that high EMS values comes with low EI levels. The more and intense EMS get, the less a person can manage their own emotions in positive ways to effectively reduce stress and use EI to improve thinking and functioning to overcome challenges. However there is no indication of statistically significant correlations between high levels of EMS and the emotional recognition abilities

Globalization: its complexity and critique – on the need to direct the society towards knowledge

Contemporary discourse on the quality of a globalising world of multiple opportunities, the factors determining shifts in the social configuration and the condition of the human being seeking their place in a reality in constant changeis one of the most important orientations. The contemporary social configuration opens up a wide range ofpossibilities for individuals to construct their own biographies. Contemporary studies on the quality of the globalizing society necessitate considering the need to shape society based on knowledge and reflection on that knowledge,while also guarding the values upon which this knowledge depends. The immanent characteristic of the renewal of knowledge capital means continuous development. The variety, fragmentation, variability and complexity of the forms of organisation of social life in a globalising society determine changing perceptions of development and overcoming the tension between the experiences of the past and the possibilities of the future.Contemporary discourse on the quality of a globalising world of multiple opportunities, the factors determining shifts in the social configuration and the condition of the human being seeking their place in a reality in constant changeis one of the most important orientations.

Edukacja – o dwóch metaforach i jednej alegorii słów kilka

The essence of education is approached in a number of ways. One of them is the “symbolic approach”. Within that, the said “essence” is depicted using a number of approximations, including: “functional” terms (in which “someone is doing something” or “something is being done to someone”). The subject of reflection in this article are two – seemingly fundamental – educational metaphors, and namely “progress” and “development”, and, additionally, one comprehensive allegory – “education as a ship” after Horace’s Ode 1,14). The aim of the article is to critically analyze the mentioned symbolic expressions using etymology, and so the method of conducting this research is the method of etymological explications. The main conclusion of the article is a warning against thoughtless use of metaphors in the language of educational sciences.The essence of education is approached in a number of ways.
