Protection of the rights of crime victims in the activity of the human rights defender

Strength and quality of a democratic state under the rule of law is best measured by its attitude to the most vulnerable persons or those in a dramatic situation, such as victims of crime. Fair proceedings must ensure and respect not only the rights of the suspect and the accused, but also the rights of the victim, at each stage of the proceedings, including the pre-trial stage. It is important that the rights of victims are not only guaranteed by the letter of the law, but are also enforceable in practice

E-learning as a new educational environment: an encounter of the student and the teacher

The aim of this article is to present issues associated with the application of e-learning in the fi eld of education. We presume that the effi cacy, safety, and social perception of e-learning largely depend on its users, i.e. on students and teachers. The greater the willingness and competence of learners and educators to responsibly and creatively apply this method in the education process, the greater the chances of maximizing profi ts and minimizing risks connected with the use of distance learning at different levels of education. We narrow down the issue of willingness to the sphere of self-regulation, an indispensable factor in the process of becoming a conscious learner who is committed to and responsible for his or her own education according to the concept of Lifelong Learning. Availing ourselves of Julius Kuhl’s theory of action control (1987) we demonstrate how certain intrinsic predispositions of students and teachers, related to the implementation of their intentions, may determine a successful application of e-learning methods and, in consequence, foster the process of lifelong learning and support the ability to adapt to ever-changing external conditions

The Highly Sensitive Child as a challenge for education – introduction to the concept

The main aim of this paper is to summarize available findings related to the subject of high sensitivity from both the educational and parenting perspectives. According to the authors of the concept of Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS), between 15% and 20% of the population exhibit such traits, therefore one has to say that it is necessary to raise the awareness of this subject amongst parents and teachers. High sensitivity may exhibit itself in many ways, depending on the environmental and other temperamental conditions. Understanding its main characteristics (DOES) will allow one to appreciate the potential of this condition instead of focusing on its deficiencies. Such a perspective opens up possible avenues of supporting the Highly Sensitive Child’s resources by both parents and teachers. A review was carried out to answer a research question by collecting and summarizing theo-retical and empirical evidence that fits pre-specified eligibility criteria. The study selection criteria was to find literature/paper reviews and primary studies published in indexed journals included in various databases and focused on Sensory Processing Sensitivity directly, transdisciplinary and ho-listic approaches were central to the process. In the research strategy, the following databases were consulted: PSYCinfo, Scopus and PubMed. The keywords sensory processing, sensitive, environ-mental sensitivity, education were placed in all electronic databases and set to be found in the titles, abstracts or keywords of the documents. No limits on dates were established. At the preparation stage, articles relevant to the topic were selected and supplemented with publications related to child development and educational context. The search was conducted from December 2018 to July 2019.This work was supported by Erasmus+ grant: contract no. 2018-1-PL01-KA201-051033 under the program “KA201 Cooperation for Innovation and the Exchange of Good practices – Strategic Partnerships – school education” (within the project entitled “E-MOTION – potential of hypersensitivity”)
