The rapidly changing world forces the necessary changes in education consisting of the development of teaching strategies that prepare the student for unpredictable, non-standard, and fluid situations. The author discusses the problem of supporting competence essential for the development of school-age children and their functioning in such a world. The article may be of interest to early school education teachers, but not only. The strategy of education using imagination, which covers the method of designing educational opportunities, refers in the conducted research to competence triad, i.e. independence-innovativeness-cooperativeness. To support the said competence, the author constructed a technique of creative visualisation and developed an educational programme for two parallel groups based on the method of designing educational opportunities, and in one of the groups, an innovative factor in the form of creative visualisation techniques was implemented. In the research, the qualitative and quantitative style was used implementing participant observation, humanistic interpretation (works of art and statements) and tests for creative thinking (drawing and verbal). The qualitative analysis consisted of description and interpretation concerning the analysed set of competence with the use of their manifestation. The quantitative analysis aimed at answering the question about a significant increase in competence required the use of a method based on the t-Student test. The results of the qualitative and quantitative analyses showed the beneficial impact of creative visualisation in the area of the competence in question.
Il lavoro costituisce uno studio approfondito della situazione economica del settore agroalimentare polacco prima e dopo l'ingresso della Polonia nell'Unione europea. La prima parte si concentra sulla situazione delle imprese - tra cui quelle agroalimentari - dopo la loro adesione al Mercato unico e di fronte ai processi di globalizzazione. Sono indicate sia le conseguenze positive dell'apertura dei mercati per le imprese sia le loro debolezze. L'autrice formula, inoltre, delle sfide che devono essere affrontate dall'intero sistema agroalimentare polacco, nonchè delle chances che dovrebbero essere ancora sfruttate. La seconda e la terza parte del lavoro sono dedicate all'analisi dell'andamento del commercio agroalimentare polacco rispettivamente, nei primi anni dopo l'entrata della Polonia nell'Unione europea (parte seconda) e nel periodo più recente, ossia negli anni 2007-2008 (parte terza). Si riportano dettagliati dati statistici e si presentano delle dinamiche dello scambio commerciale dei prodotti di diversi comparti dei mercati agroalimentari. Sono individuati i mercati sui quali le imprese polacche sono più competitive. La quarta ed ultima parte del lavoro ha per oggetto i rapporti commerciali nel settore agroalimentare tra Italia e Polonia. Sono presentate la struttura e l'andamento di questi rapporti. In conclusione si constata che una probabile perdita dell'attuale vantaggio competitivo delle imprese agroalimentari polacche sui mercati dei prodotti "convenzionali" (c.d. commodities), le spingerà a orientarsi verso le produzioni di nicchia, ossia verso prodotti di qualità .
