Charakterystyka zjawiska odpadu i odsiewu na kierunku ekonomiki przemysłu Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego w latach 1969/1970-1975/1976 Rokicka, Ewa The article presents results of analyses on the peroentage level of drop-outs among students in the faoulty of Production Economics at the University of Łódź. It contains a socio-demographic characteristics of the eoclal category created as a result of these phenomena. The aggre^tion in question is represented by students, who left the faculty of Production Economics in the course of all years of academic studies (i. e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th ) over the six consecutive academic years from <1969/1970 to 1975/1976. Studies performed by the author show that the average percentage figure of students obtaining the certificate of completed Btudies in the faculty in question reaches about 70 per cent, and thus losses due to iropping(-out amount to 30 per cent for particular years_. From among 70 per cent of students obtaining the certificate of completed studies on the average about 6 per cent do not seat for the master's exam. This produces a decrease of the index of aggregate effectiveness of studies for the faculty of Production Economics to the level of 64 per cent. Further conclusions from the analysis look as follows: 1. Process of dropping-out in the faculty of Production Economics is not enenly spread both with reference to particular years of studyind (it is highest in the case of the first year students)and particular academic years. 2, As a result of more frequent cases of dropping-out among men grows feminization, of studies, 3. Social origins exert a strong influence on the process of leaving the University before graduation with the wei$)t of this factor depending on sex as an intermediate variable. 4. High level of dropping-out 'among men of working-class origin is conditioned, to a large extent, by the type of completed secondary school. Analyses presented in the article are based on materials and documenta provided by the Dean's Office of the Department of Economics and Sociology, University of Lódź . Their processing constitutes the first stage of studies on the process of dropping-out of students. The second stage of studies will encompass interviews with young people filing to complete their academic courses, and concerning their further life and professional careers. The objective of the second stage will be, among others, to determine the strength of needs and desires of the young people under survey as connected with obtaining of the academic education.

Wychowanie ideowe na terenie rodziny w opinii maturzystów Iwanicka, Bożena; Iwanicki, Zdzisław The article deals with, ii?olo ical education of children in a family. There was .sade an atteapt at definition of the level of knowledge about intrafamily education in the caee of students attemHng the senior gradea of secondary schools. The analysis concerned \mainly ideological subfunction of the family and prospects of proper influencing of the yaun£ ^wneration by the family in the area of ideological education. The above suojoctc aro discussed ai^inst the background of materials collected in 1976 from 400 graduates within the fraaowork of researches on pedagogical culture of the youn people. Detailed analysis encompassed outlooks being most closely connncted with the ideological education - shaping of ideological attitudes among the younger generation and their Weltanschauung. They соncern mainly the significance attributed by young people to the socializing and educational function in the overall family, life and its corral tion with the cultural function, which is of essential importance for this sphere of education. That is due to the fact that it exerts a decisive influenca on selection of factors , which should be taken into consideration if we wish the young man to be properly adapted to life in the society. Attention was primarily focussed on elements of the cultural heritage of "up ratiim, v41jós and ideals connected with them, which the young people under survey wish to pass to descendants. There are further discussed personality models by neans of which they intend to internalize that contents among their children in order to achive the educational success. While analyzing the outiuoks of the young people, the researchrea estimated both the scope and quality of knowledge about each one of the factors of the educational process and the extent to which' they are aware of the necessity of taking those factors into consideration in the educational process within the family. The conclusions ensuing from the analyses performed are discussed aQilnst the background of socio-demographic features of the young generation and their participation in courses devoted to "Adaptation to Family Life". On the basis of the conducted studies there was formulated a general conclusion, which says that the level of pedagogical culture of the young people about to leave the secondary schools is relatively low. Accordingly, we miÿvt assume that the ideological education' of children,', they will have in the future, will be carried out in an improper manner from the pedagogical point of view, and that it will be taking place - first of all outside the family boundaries, most probably mainly at school and in other educational circles. In the final part of the article there are determined theoretical and methodological problems belonging to the discussed problem area, which should become an object of analysis in the near future. That is so, because we believe that solution of these problems constitutes a prerequisite for empirical studies of these problems.

Pojęcie i warunki urzeczywistnienia ideału wychowawczego socjalizmu

Pojęcie i warunki urzeczywistnienia ideału wychowawczego socjalizmu Lewandowski, Edmund The basic assumption of the article is a thesis that the effectiveness of the socialist upbringing in the final account depends upon the way in which all institutions are operating daily. Pi*operly functioning economic, political, and other systems shape appropriate attitudes by themselves. On the other hand, the affects of evident evil on human awareness will not be compensated even by the best system of education. By the concept of the educational ideal of socialism the author means here historical changes in tho system of attitudes ensuring in given conditions a rapid social progress and comprehensive development of individuals. The ideal thus perceived is first revealed In actions of individuals and groups most engaged in construction of the sociopolitical system, and only then it is disseminated under influence of socializing and educational efforts. The educational ideal of socialism should be a personality fighting for justice, equality and freedom. The attitude of fight with the evil promotes social progress and is in line with the Marxist concept of happiness. In order to achieve the educational ideal of socialism it becomes necessary to fulfil the following four essential conditions: firstly - proper formulation of the ideal and its proper dissemination; secondly - creation of a system of stimuli, in accordance with which a conduct conforming to the ideal allows to obtain desirable values; thirdly - elimination of divergencies between ideals and practice in activities of institutions; fourthly - construction of a complementary educational system.
