Academic education in a distance form - reflection on the praxeological dimension of e-learning

Abstract

The article is devoted to the issue of distance education, which was implemented in Polish higher education due to the epidemiological situation caused by Covid-19 in March 2020. The introduction signaled the need for reflection on a distance learning place using new technology resources. In the theoretical part, the basic conceptual apparatus related to e-learning was analyzed, as well as legal acts specifying the conditions that must be met so that teaching classes at the stage of higher educa-tion could be conducted using modern technologies and ICT tools. Finally, based on the collected empirical material, reflection was made on the preparation, implementation and evaluation of classes in remote mode, indicating the potentials and disadvantages of total remote education. In describing the distance learning process, the experience of academic teachers was cited and development per-spectives in the use of new technologies in pedagogy were outlined.

The Relationship Between Lifelong Learning Tendencies and Life Quality of Parents That Give Special Care

Quality of life is defined as a versatile and dynamic concept, and it is stated that it affects the individual's performance physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually.…”

“…In a study on the lifelong learning of parents with children with intellectual disabilities, Dobińska and Okólska (2021) stated that when parents learned both formally and informally, the care process gained a professional nature and parents became experts. Genç (2017) stated that families needed to be active participants in the education process as much as the child with a disability and that these families had difficulty accessing education.…”
