portal o nowoczesnej edukacji - Pierwsze opłaty za studia dzienne Szczegóły Opublikowano: piątek, 06, styczeń 2012 00:00 Opr. red. Studenci, którzy w 2012 r. rozpoczną studia dzienne na dwóch kierunkach na uczelniach publicznych będą musieli za jeden z nich zapłacić. W nowym roku wchodzi w życie prawo, że tylko jedne studia będzie można skończyć na koszt podatnika. Zmiany w ustawie mają przyczynić się także do poprawy sytuacji doktorantów. Formalnie od 1 stycznia uczelnie publiczne mogą pobierać od studentów opłaty za drugi kierunek studiów, ponieważ z początkiem nowego roku wchodzi w życie przepis znowelizowanej w 2011 r. ustawy Prawo o szkolnictwie wyższym, który to umożliwia. Większość nowych studentów zmierzy się z tym problemem dopiero za pięć lat, kiedy skończą pierwszy kierunek studiów. Część studentów, kształcących się na dwóch kierunkach, zostanie z tej opłaty zwolnionych. Od 1 października każda uczelnia musi zapewnić studentom rozpoczynającym naukę możliwość odbycia szkolenia na temat praw i obowiązków studenta. (Źródło: PAP – Nauka w Polsce)

The 21 Signs you are A 21st Century Teacher Teaching in the 21st century is definitely not an easy task. Students are digitally focused and have more free access to information challenging thus the traditional prototypic picture of the teacher as the knowledge instigator. Engagement is also another serious issue that makes educating such kind of students a real nightmare. It takes so much creativity, originality, and novelty from the part of teachers to get students motivated and engaged. Technology has the cure but this cure can not be effective unless teachers know how to use its prescription. Teachers need to acquire certain digital skills that are detrimental to the success of their instruction and without which no learning objectives could be cultivated. Another resource which I highly recommend for any 21st century teacher is the awesome learning community called Simple k-12.
