The Scope of Activities of Probation Officers Carried Out as Part of Supervision Over Minors in the Light of Legal Provisions
Zaremba, Katarzyna (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2023)
Criminality and demoralization of minors raise social anxiety in many circles. The institution of the probation officer provides a legal and procedural remedy for these problems. Recently, new solutions have been introduced in Polish law to regulate juvenile proceedings. The aim of the article is to outline the scope of probation officers’ activities against minors. The article presents a statistical picture of juvenile demoralization and delinquency. In order to achieve the set goal, the method of literature and legal regulations analysis (desk research), as well as the analysis of statistical data have been used. It has been found that the scale of juvenile delinquency has a decreasing tendency. The scope of tasks of court-appointed family probation officers is complementary.
The Sociological View of a Residence for Ukrainian Women Run by Pallottine Priests in Ołtarzew near Warsaw. The PPPiW Research Report Based on Application of the Youth Studies Approach
Zaręba, Sławomir H.; Choczyński, Marcin (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2023)
This text presents sociological research conducted by sociologists from the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in 2023 in the Pallottine Centre “Future for Ukraine”. Taking into consideration social characteristics of the research sample consisting of the Ukrainian women – war refugees – the researchers adopted qualitative methodology based on the semi-structured interview technique. The paper-based interview scenario was a research instrument, and the respondents replied via written essay directly on the sheets handed out to women. All the questions were translated into Ukrainian. The Ukrainian women who stayed in Ołtarzew described experience and attitudes towards eight spheres: specificity of the place, adaptation, safety, religiosity, emotions, problems, losses, plans, and dreams. Ultimately 28 women who had lived in the Centre participated in the research. They were characterised by social-demographic heterogeneity that allowed to show complexity of their life in the current situation.
An Example of Applying Fritz Schütze’s Concept of Trajectory Processes in Biographical Research into Young Adults
Rumianowska, Agnieszka (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2023)
This paper presents the possibility of applying Fritz Schütze’s concept of the trajectory of suffering in empirical research. The first part of the article presents the methodological assumptions of the research focusing on the biographical research method and the narrative interview technique. The following section analyses a biographical transcript obtained from a narrative interview. The interview participant was a 23-year-old man who told his narrative according to the scheme of trajectory of suffering, defined as an experience of losing control over one’s external circumstances.
The Transhumanist Concept of Self-Optimization in Religious-Pedagogical Reflection
Reimer, Tibor (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2023)
The contemporary culture is explicitly permeated with ideas of Transhumanism. Based on principles such as technologizing and self-optimization, Transhumanism promotes the idea of constantly pushing the boundaries of immediate physical and psychological human existence. Self-optimization is about improving physical and cognitive as well as emotional and social performance. In this article, we want to explore the question of how reflection on religious education takes up the transhumanist concept of self-optimization, concretised in the theme of corporeality and artificial intelligence, and to what extent it can be addressed in Catholic religious education in Slovak schools. We will first focus on the basics of Transhumanism and then we will examine the topic of human nature and corporeality from a transhumanist perspective and try to implement it didactically in religious education.
Preparation of Students for the Modern Labour Market in Polish Secondary Schools. The Example of Mechatronic Technical School in Warsaw
Pardej, Katarzyna (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2023)
The article presents the findings of the author’s own research conducted in Polish secondary schools with the aim of identifying preparation of young people to navigate the labour market – including professional competences. The research problem was the preparation of technical school students to enter the current labour market and the role of vocational teachers in this preparation in the opinion of students. A focus research method was used, in which the research technique was a focus interview. The participants were fourth-grade students at technical schools (N=33). The research was conducted in 2023. The article presents students’ opinions about teachers of vocational subjects concerning their role in preparing them to follow a profession, as well as the students’ level of knowledge of the current labour market and employer expectations.
To Educate Towards Values – But What Values? Axiological Dilemmas of Education
Marszałek, Lidia (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2023)
In the simplest terms, the concept of value may be defined as something that is important and valuable to a person. The presented paper provides some reflection on the essence of value and its various understandings and indicates methods of educating young people towards the highest, social, and positive utilitarian values. The fact is, however, that in the modern world the prevailing values, especially among young people, are hedonism and focus on one’s own well-being, benefits, possession of valuable things and comfort of life. This paper discusses the reasons why young people prefer the above values and at the same time points to the dilemmas of teachers, namely, what values should students be guided towards, so that they do not suffer any harm when confronted with the contemporary reality of the world of adults. Should young people be directed towards higher values, if that may make them vulnerable to others especially those who want to use them for their own purposes? Or, should they rather be taught to be uncompromising, to stand up for themselves, which will help them achieve success in their professional and social life? The fact is, however, that hardly any educator will resign from leading students towards the highest values. So, the real question is: How to conduct moral and ethical education of students at the same time helping them prepare for the realities of the modern world? This paper attempts to make recommendations aimed at reconciling these two areas of education.
Youth in the Society During the Pandemic. Subjective Evaluation of the Pandemic and Its Objective Consequences for Students in the Remote Teaching Process
Leszczyński, Karol (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2023)
The article discusses problems related to the educational crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The crisis hit the whole society, but it especially affected disadvantaged groups by increasing the existing social inequalities. The article, moreover, analyses factors influencing various ways of experiencing the pandemic and its effects by particular groups of students, as this age group was most severely affected by the pandemic. Contrary to adults, almost all students were transferred to the remote education for a prolonged period of time. This article presents first of all a subjective assessment of the period of remote education made by students, their understanding of the situation, how they assessed teachers, parents and their colleagues. Next, the article points to both the protective and risk factors related to experiencing crises, especially in the context of family and religiousness. Finally, the article illustrates how the pandemic deepened the existing social problems rather than created new ones, primarily affecting the most vulnerable groups.
Young People in the (Post)pandemic Church
Kurzydło, Dariusz (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2023)
The coronavirus pandemic paralyzed the functioning of many institutions, including the Church. However, it did not cause the present religious crisis which has more complex roots of ideological rather than “medical” character. Nonetheless, the mental condition of young people continues to deteriorate, which is directly related to the current destruction of social life. This paper aims to analyse the conditions that should be met if adolescents are to remain in the Church. On their basis, I try to sketch a new paradigm of working with young people. I also draw on the indications of the new “General Directory for Catechesis” regarding catechumenal inspiration. I conclude that the basis of a formation model should be the recognition that we educate a person-in-growth. Indeed, young people explicitly say that they are interested in joining an ecclesial community that can appreciate current challenges faced by teenagers.
Conflict as a Challenge for Personal Growth in the Educational Team
Kraner, David (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2023)
In interpersonal relationships between teachers and students, catechist and catechised, as well as in teaching and catechetical teams, communicological blockages and defence mechanisms are part of everyday life. These subjects have different expectations of each other, which in turn triggers resistance in the person. In their concrete experience, there are different observations, reflections and formation of abstract concepts. Conflicts are not always a bad thing. For Gestalt pedagogy, conflict situations present an opportunity for personal development, deepening relationships and growth of the whole group. Gestalt pedagogy uses methods to resolve conflict situations in a way that helps the individual to become aware of and reflect on his or her own feelings, memory traces, reactions and perspective on the conflict situation. Knowledge of the mechanisms of resistance and Gestalt methods for resolving communication blocks is a useful tool for team members (especially for novice teachers and mentor teachers) to build better quality relationships. Good relationships within a team can increase success at work.
Intensification of Depression Symptoms and the Quarter-Life Crisis in Young Adults – Preliminary Research
Dacka, Monika; Mazur, Natalia; Kulik, Agnieszka (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2023)
According to Arnett’s theory, the period of emerging adulthood is a stage of development characterized by instability, changeability, and experimentation in the performed roles. In this phase of life, young people cope with many ambivalences and ambitendencies as regards their values and choices; they may also experience the quarter-life crisis. The aim of the conducted research was to determine the correlation between intensification of depression symptoms and the occurrence of the quarter-life crisis in the period of emerging adulthood. The conducted analyses were based on the Developmental Crisis Questionnaire by Nikolay Petrov et al. in the author’s own elaboration as well as Beck’s Hopelessness Scale and a personal questionnaire. The conducted analyses allowed to observe the varying degrees of intensified feelings of hopelessness and the symptoms of the quarter-life crisis. Heightened negative attitude towards the future, perceived as unclear, uncertain, and a sense of not fitting the reality, increased the likelihood of the crisis.
Highly Religious Young Poles in the Process of Transformation
Boguszewski, Rafał; Mariański, Janusz (Wyższe Seminaria Duchowne Towarzystwa Salezjańskiego, 2023)
The article describes highly religious young Poles who are at the stage of entering adulthood (aged 18-19 and attending the final grades of high school). In the empirical analysis, we use the existing data from quantitative research carried out in 1996, 2010, and 2021. The same methodology for the implementation of the survey, including sample selection, as well as a broadly comparable research tool, allowing to capture significant changes, tendencies, and trends that have occurred among young Poles in the last 25 years in terms of religiousness. The data show that despite a significant decrease in the percentage of people who define themselves as religious, and even more so as regularly practicing religion, the percentage of deeply religious people and regular religious practitioners remains relatively constant (about 5% of the population of young Poles who have reached the age of majority). The question arises whether the socio-demographic structure of this group remains stable over the time and whether and to what extent it differs from the structure of other groups, including less religious and nonreligious people. The article attempts to answer this question.
