The theoretical part discusses why complex diagnosis of problems is an essential element of a teacher’s work. The author describes the heterogeneity of the school environment and its dependence on the network of relationships with the family and social environment as well as the mental and physical condition of individual students. This part of the article also describes the changes in the structure of the Ishikawa diagram, and examples of how it has been modified in various fields of knowledge. The empirical part is a report on constructing a students’ exemplary diagram. This part discusses using the Ishikawa diagram in the humanities to illustrate the causes of the reading problem among children and adolescents. An analysis was conducted of building expert knowledge by people actively involved in the learning process. The article’s author argues that the Ishikawa diagram is a valuable element in academic teaching, because reflection on any complex problem using visualization methods prepares students to diagnose potential issues in future professional work. The conclusions emphasize the importance of students’ independent reflection on complex problems. Accordingly, the author asks about the primary goal of university education.","PeriodicalId":42136,"journal":{"name":"E-Mentor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46453725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the face of the ongoing digital revolution, their importance in various fields of education is growing as well. The aim of the article is to show the role of digital competences in language education from the perspective of the modern generation – active users of modern technologies. Based on the theoretical aspects of the discussed issues, surveys were conducted the main goal of which was the analysis of personal opinions of learners (representatives of the digital natives community) on the role of digital competences in various activities of the glottodidactic process. The research was conducted among students of neophilological specialties of the bachelor’s programme at the University of Silesia. The scope of use and assessment of the usefulness of digital competences in the process of teaching-learning foreign languages and the definition and self-assessment of own e-skills was of particular interest. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the research material confirmed the important role of e-skills in developing both communication and language competences and learning strategies, also from the perspective of learners. Given the significant usefulness of digital competences in didactic activities, improving them is undoubtedly one of the priority tasks of modern education.","PeriodicalId":42136,"journal":{"name":"E-Mentor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49210943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this article is to present a created model of organisational culture characterised by a high degree of resilience to crisis, and then to demonstrate the possibility of its application in economic reality by entrepreneurs and stakeholders. The research process focuses on demonstrating the interdependencies between selected cultural features (dependent variables) and crisis resilience (dependent variable). As part of the model, the most important features of organisational culture have been distinguished, understood as the basic predictors of the resilience of organisational culture to crisis, such as: customer orientation, employee trust, transparency of activities, employee well-being, supporting managerial staff, creativity, employee loyalty, respect for others. The use of the model boils down not only to enabling verification of whether the current organisational culture of a given company can be considered resilient, but also indicates the direction of changes (desired culture) in the case of the willingness to transform in terms of shaping the culture of an organisation aiming at a culture of resilience.","PeriodicalId":42136,"journal":{"name":"E-Mentor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67329957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the existence of many forms of assistance and activities aimed at reducing the phenomenon of their exclusion from society, they still struggle with the problem of undertaking appropriate professional activity, with the COVID-19 pandemic adding to the already difficult situation. So what is the current professional activity and economic situation of people with disabilities? In the context of the research gap, attempts have been made to answer the research question: Has the COVID-19 pandemic led to a deterioration in the level of professional activity of people with disabilities and their situation? The main objective of the study was to assess the economic situation of people with disabilities and their professional activity at two different times - before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. A research hypothesis was formulated, assuming that the COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the professional activity of people with disabilities and their economic situation. The article includes an analysis of the national literature on the subject, with an empirical part based on a secondary analysis of existing data. Descriptive statistics of the indicators of the tested variables were made together with an analysis of the normality of distributions using the Shapiro-Wilk test. An analysis with Student's t-tests and a two-factor analysis of variance in the 2x2 model were also performed. As a result of the statistical study, the research hypothesis was not confirmed.","PeriodicalId":42136,"journal":{"name":"E-Mentor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67330206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As technology develops and the working environment changes, this task is becoming increasingly difficult and the gradation of digital skills is getting less and less clear. Employers and managers have similar doubts: What does it mean that an employee has digital skills? How can you assess their level? How can you check whether an employee's digital skills will help them fulfil their tasks? Since the pandemic, emphasis has been put on the importance of the digital competences of employees, with many companies adapting the way they operate to the new conditions (remote work, hybrid work). Despite many existing compilations it is difficult to find a unified method of assessing digital skills in modern workplaces. In this article the author presents the results of research on digital skills of employees of a financial company. The DigComp model was applied as the technical basis of the research, which allowed for a diagnosis of digital skills in specific areas (qualitative research). The other part of the research compares employees' claims with their supervisor's description of their digital skills (qualitative research) on the operational level - in a professional environment. The research showed discrepancies in the perception of employees' digital skills related to cybersecurity, the use of digital tools for streamlining work processes, as well as keeping a work-life balance.","PeriodicalId":42136,"journal":{"name":"E-Mentor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67330296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During this crisis, society needed time to introduce changes and adapt to them, along with rebuilding the self-confidence of teachers and students. This article presents 4 challenges faced by the education sector in the pandemic: 1) How to ensure appropriate conditions for distance learning? 2) How to prevent school absenteeism and keep children and teenagers motivated to learn remotely? 3) How to maintain learning levels and monitor educational losses? 4) What remedial programmes to introduce? These challenges are discussed in the context of the experience of the Polish education system from the perspective of data collected in 4 European countries (Belgium, France, Greece, and Poland) while implementing the KEEP project under the Erasmus + programme, which focuses on methods of keeping secondary school students engaged in the learning process by using digital practices and tools tested during the pandemic. The project is also expected to result in supporting teachers' professional development and developing their digital pedagogical competencies.","PeriodicalId":42136,"journal":{"name":"E-Mentor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67329687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, combining the perspectives of this work model with the preferences of generations is an innovative approach. At the same time, it is also a desirable direction of research, because there is a difference in the approach to the role of technology in professional work between the generation of current managers (often belonging to generation X) and the growing number of employees from generations Y and Z, based not only on the knowledge of tools, but also on values related to the approach to professional work. Therefore, examining the preferences of work models (remote vs. on-site) divided into individual generations, as well as a ranking based on positions, may be utilitarian for both HR departments and leaders facing the necessity to choose a target work model. According to research conducted in July and August 2021 on a group of 338 respondents who had the opportunity to work remotely during the pandemic, it can be concluded that the most expected form of work is hybrid work, which was indicated by approximately 60% of respondents, while a return to fully on-site work as a preference was declared by only around 10% of the respondents. This is a signal that the expectation of a return to pre-pandemic normality, in which the vast majority of employees only worked on-site, may be impossible, an issue that poses new challenges for human resources and management departments.","PeriodicalId":42136,"journal":{"name":"E-Mentor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67329664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Robotic process automation (RPA) is recommended for mass, repetitive information and transaction processes with high stability and a high degree of standardisation. Research on the content of experts' opinions has revealed examples of practices implemented in Polish entities, the characteristics of which are inconsistent with normative recommendations. The studies highlight the wide spectrum and complexity of the criteria, in particular the need to better adapt the criteria to various contingencies, with emphasis put on the specificity of the RPA technology used, alternative methods of process automation, and the stage of advancement of digital transformation in the organisation. Flexibility is indicated as the main distinguishing feature of RPA technology, a feature for which the possibility to quickly process changes (prototyping) and the temporary nature of a process (campaign) are important criteria.","PeriodicalId":42136,"journal":{"name":"E-Mentor","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67329594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the article is to analyse the impact of FinTech development on traditional branches of banking institutions in Poland. The authors look at today's behavior of bank account holders with regard to everyday activities, such as withdrawing cash. At the same time they make suggestions as to the reason for the presented results, in order to clearly formulate the final conclusions. The authors also discuss areas analogous to the main topic, such as cashless payment methods, with a closer analysis of their real impact on the banking structure. The main source of information for this article are results obtained from the authors' own research. The considerations lead to the conclusion that in today's banking environment bank branches are somewhat unnecessary and unprofitable, and will slowly decrease in number year by year.
