{"title":"Implementation of Blended Learning in Tertiary Education of Health and Social Care Professionals During Covid-19 Pandemic","authors":"","doi":"10.36682/a_2023_1_6","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36682/a_2023_1_6","url":null,"abstract":"Blended learning is a relatively new e-learning method that combines traditional classroom learning with computer-mediated instruction. Its roots can be traced back to the 1840s when Sir Isaac Pitman sent tasks to his students on postcards for evaluation. It represents a new way of teaching, employing modern technologies and the online environment, whilst simultaneously emphasizing the importance of traditional teaching methods and personal contact between students and teachers. Blended learning has proven to be an effective way to combine scheduled and self-paced classwork, ensuring its better accessibility and flexibility. This article discusses the implementation and effectiveness of a blended-learning course designed to train communication skills in students studying healthcare-related programmes at the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences of the University of South Bohemia, Czech Republic. The course uses a combination of face-to-face instruction, individual student work, and multimedia online materials. It is divided into modules specific to the student's field of study, such as nursing, nutritional therapy, and civil protection. Each module includes theoretical and practical sections, and the course covers communication skills with seniors, adults, children, and disabled clients. A questionnaire survey was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the course and student satisfaction in order to obtain feedback for further development and improvement of the course. The data obtained from the survey were analysed using descriptive statistics and the Gini index. The results show that the blended-learning course was effective in training communication skills and reducing the number of failures.","PeriodicalId":486395,"journal":{"name":"Auspicia","volume":"35 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135042639","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 transformation of human value orientations is accompanied by excessive accumulation of material goods, whose processes of manufacturing, exploitation and utilization significantly disturb the natural balance, worsen the ecological situation, and dramatically reduce the natural resources of the planet, which negatively affects the quality of food, drinking water and air and, as a result, the health and life expectancy in the modern world. The introduction of effective measures to stop and further prevent these trends has become one of the relevant vectors for the prospective development of an effective business environment in the developed countries of the world, which recognize the priority issues of environmental safety, environmental protection, and social security of basic human needs. Based on the results of the study, it can be stated that the achievement of the socio-ecological vector of the activity of industrial companies depends on the observance of the principles of a balanced social and environmental policy of corporate activities, which are defined by the authors as the major ones.","PeriodicalId":486395,"journal":{"name":"Auspicia","volume":"35 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135042635","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}

Drawing from social sciences, particularly political science, administrative sciences, and legal sciences, it investigates how various aspects of the lawmaking process can be seen as a learning process. The study emphasizes the importance of lawmakers' ability to learn from societal developments and to adapt legislation accordingly. In the introduction the article highlights the dynamic nature of lawmaking as a continuous learning process. It examines the formal lawmaking process in Poland, including the role of political parties and the influence of European law. Furthermore, the author argues that lawmaking is essentially a learning process, and deals with how lawmakers identify social problems, create rules to address them, and modify legislation based on observations and societal impact. The article also explores the importance of learning from European integration, changes in technology, society, economy, and security issues. By analyzing the findings and arguments presented, the study links theoretical concepts with practical examples from Polish lawmaking and the impact of European law. It emphasizes the importance of lawmakers' ability to learn from societal developments and to modify legislation to effectively address new challenges. The research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of lawmaking in Poland and highlights the importance of learning for the advancement of legislative processes. The findings gained from this study are of importance to policymakers, legal practitioners, and researchers in the fields of public administration, safety, and legal sciences.","PeriodicalId":486395,"journal":{"name":"Auspicia","volume":"34 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135042449","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}

Theories explaining \"how it really is (was), who is (was) behind it, in whose interest it is happening (happened)\" and so on have become popular all over the world. Given their global spread and the persistence of many of them in society, it is not surprising that conspiracy theories have become the object of scholarly interest not only for historians, sociologists, psychologists, or anthropologists, but also representatives from other disciplines, e.g., political science, philosophy, cultural studies, security sciences, or mass media studies, and the subject of several scholarly papers in recent years. Therefore, the the primary goal of the author of the study– is to contribute to the academic discussion and to deepen theoretical knowledge about conspiracy theories by using relevant scientific methods within the framework of qualitative theoretical interdisciplinary scientific research and the findings published in the works of renowned foreign and domestic authors.","PeriodicalId":486395,"journal":{"name":"Auspicia","volume":"35 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135042642","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}
