Promising Areas for Developing HR Managers' Competencies in the Digital Age

The rapid development of technologies is creating a new digital reality in human resource management. In the context of the transition to the digital economy and transformation of traditional classical organizations to digital ones, digital management decentralization will take place on the basis of digital technologies. The most important characteristic feature of a digital organization is interaction of the HR service with employees using mobile applications. Predictive HR analytics, employee-centered professional training, feedback not only at the vertical level but also at the horizontal level requires the development of new competencies of HR specialists. Based on the authors' research, implemented by a temporary creative team, the practice of developing managerial competencies in the process of digital transformation is analyzed using the example of HR management services in organizations at different levels of digital maturity. The study has shown understanding on the part of HR specialists that automation has a significant potential and will be in demand in all the companies, regardless of their size. The transition from a traditional organization to a digital one will require changes in the qualification requirements for HR specialists, readiness of HR specialists to acquire new digital competencies, to develop their professional skills and personal abilities

Thinking with robert sokolowski about phenomenology and personalism

Robert Sokolowski wishes to provide what he calls “glimpses” that provide essential philosophical clarifications regarding the nature of the human person, whom the author also calls “the agent of truth.” He claims that our rationality constitutes us as human persons and wishes to explain such rationality in action to reveal its existing manifestations. He calls for epistemic modesty, pointing out our inability to fully understand the mystery of human personhood. Our article reflects on the way Sokolowski approaches the study of what constitutes the human person, underlining his preference for basing his ideas on dissecting distinct human activities, which helps us identify how human rationality and personhood manifest themselves. We further reflect on what Sokolowski means by emphasizing that human rationality is “essentially a disclosure of things” as opposed to the ability to note, describe, evaluate and/or infer ideas in your brains. Finally, we argue that to understand what constitutes the human person, we must take into account the human essential relationality and openness to the other/Other. © 2021, Slovenska Vzdelavacia Obstaravacia.

Distance Learning in Higher Education During Covid-19

COVID-19’s pandemic has hastened the expansion of online learning across all levels of education. Countries have pushed to expand their use of distant education and make it mandatory in view of the danger of being unable to resume face-to-face education. The most frequently reported disadvantages are technological challenges and the resulting inability to open the system. Prior to the pandemic, interest in distance learning was burgeoning, as it was a unique style of instruction. The mini-review aims to ascertain students’ attitudes about distant learning during COVID-19. To accomplish the objective, articles were retrieved from the ERIC database. We utilize the search phrases “Distance learning” AND “University” AND “COVID.” We compiled a list of 139 articles. We chose papers with “full text” and “peer reviewed only” sections. Following the exclusion, 58 articles persisted. Then, using content analysis, publications relating to students’ perspectives on distance learning were identified. There were 27 articles in the final list. Students’ perspectives on distant education are classified into four categories: perception and attitudes, advantages of distance learning, disadvantages of distance learning, and challenges for distance learning. In all studies, due of pandemic constraints, online data gathering methods were selected. Surveys and questionnaires were utilized as data collection tools. When students are asked to compare face-to-face and online learning techniques, they assert that online learning has the potential to compensate for any limitations caused by pandemic conditions. Students’ perspectives and degrees of satisfaction range widely, from good to negative. Distance learning is advantageous since it allows for learning at any time and from any location. Distance education benefits both accomplishment and learning. Staying at home is safer and less stressful for students during pandemics. Distance education contributes to a variety of physical and psychological health concerns, including fear, anxiety, stress, and attention problems. Many schools lack enough infrastructure as a result of the pandemic’s rapid transition to online schooling. Future researchers can study what kind of online education methods could be used to eliminate student concerns. Copyright © 2022 Masalimova, Khvatova, Chikileva, Zvyagintseva, Stepanova and Melnik

The decision regarding the distance education method in Turkey on March 15, 2020, has completely changed the learning and teaching methodology of all university students and educators, and it has been seen that all courses have started to be given with distance education. The purpose of this research is to examine the perspectives of engineering university students towards distance education during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research consists of engineering faculty students studying at various universities in the Aegean region and Russian Federation. In the research, a scanning model was used. The data of the research were collected from 520 engineering department university students from various universities in our country, according to the convenience sampling method, and through an online questionnaire filled out by the students. Thanks to this wide participation, results have been obtained that will explain the Covid-19 process related to distance education in a good way. In general, it has been concluded that students are happy to see them in distance education model courses, so they do not fall behind in their education, and university students watch their courses mostly with the help of smart devices. © 2022 Kassel University Press GmbH.
