Topic of emigration from Lithuania became an important issue both in scientific dialogue and political arena. Huge migration waves bring nothing but social, economic, education and other problems for the country of origin and also for the decision making migrants. And the influence of migration touched already the most vulnerable part of the population -children. If they are left alone in Lithuania they suffer from separation with their parents, but if they migrate together they suffer as well, facing other issues, such as: foreign language, country, culture and different educational systems, if they have to transfer the school. School transition, adaptation in the new environment, new country by itself is already a very complicating and challenging process for the children's development. Moreover, during such transition problems become even more complex and this time parental involvement plays an essential role. This research is based on the children perspective, how they see parental involvement in children adaptation process both in the new country and new school abroad. The aim of the study is to identify parental involvement in children adaptation process due to migration.

Mokslinio straipsnio tikslas – pristatyti kuriamą teorinį modelį, kuris apibūdintų pagrindinius mokyklų tobulinimo pasitelkus skaitmenines technologijas elementus ir leistų atskleisti mokyklų skirtumus bei nustatyti jų geriausią praktiką ir iššūkius. Modelis projektuojamas tokių teorijų, kaip, pvz., mokyklos tobulinimo, edukacinių inovacijų, besimokančios mokyklos, pagrindu, integruojant naujausias skaitmeninių technologijų vaidmens edukacijoje ir mokyklos vadyboje teorijas. Modelio pagrindą sudaro šeši pagrindiniai elementai, apibūdinantys inovatyvią skaitmeninę mokyklą: mokyklos vizija, lyderystė, mokymo(si) procesas, besimokanti bendruomenė, veiklos kokybės užtikrinimas, skaitmeniniai ištekliai. Ypatingas dėmesys skiriamas skaitmeninių technologijų taikymo galimybėms, atsakant į klausimą, kaip jos prisideda tobulinant pedagoginę ir vadybinę praktiką. Sukurtas inovatyvios skaitmeninės mokyklos teorinis modelis bus tolesnio tyrimo pagrindas, leisiantis mokykloms apmąstyti, suprasti ir tobulinti savo praktikas, siekiant pasitelkus skaitmenines technologijas siekti tvarių pedagoginių ir vadybinių pokyčių.

The article presents the research aiming at answering a question <em>What is the illegal drug use among university students in Lithuania and what is its correlation with the age, gender and lifestyle</em>?
