Multipronged data analysis with the use of statistics utilities and data visualization has been conducted. The model forecasting the number of data breaches based on a time series mathematical model has also been built. The article reviews the tools and techniques used in data security analysis and presents practical examples of modeling and analysis that can be used in practice to improve data protection. It was shown how important it is to protect personal data, especially medical data, and what tools can be used in the educational process of data analytics for students to effect data analysis, trend assessment, and data prediction.Pozycja Comparison of Angular, React, and Vue Technologies in the Process of Creating Web Applications on the User Interface Side(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Dymora, Paweł; Mazurek, Mirosław; Nycz, MariuszThis paper presents a comparative analysis of three programming technologies and their application in building a web application, taking into account the code on the server-side and the user interface side. Three equivalent applications Angular, Vue, and React were analyzed. The needs for web applications are described, the implementation of particular functionalities in all technologies is presented together with the programming of database functionalities. The article is aimed at helping students of computer science faculties to make an informed choice of a framework or library for a specific project, taking into account the differences between these popular solutions.Pozycja Possibilities of Digitalization of the Qualification Thesis Topic Submission Process(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Klement, MilanThe challenges associated with the process of awarding and processing qualification work can be traced both in the area of efforts to improve the quality of this specific process and in the area of supporting the digitisation of the study agenda in general. Given that the core processes at the university rely on highly skilled professionals, digitising processes is not as straightforward as it would be for more mechanical work. Although universities have a long tradition of organising work, they have not yet paid much attention to digitised processes. For this reason, we developed and piloted a flexible electronic workflow for digitizing a selected process and tested it under real-life conditions, including the implementation of qualitative research. The results show the usefulness and adaptability of the proposed electronic workflow from the perspective of its users.Pozycja Possibilities of Development of Informatics Thinking of Pupils and Students Using the Model of Subject-Didactic Competences of Teachers(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Klement, Milan; Bryndová, LucieThe development and incorporation of the concept of the development of computational thinking into the curriculum of computing subjects is currently one of the major challenges facing the Czech school system. However, such a concept of teaching presupposes a targeted development of content-subject and didactic- pedagogical competencies of teachers necessary for the development of computational thinking in their pupils and students. Thus, the present paper deals with the possibility of defining a general model of subject-matter and didactic competences of teachers supporting the development of computational thinking in pupils and students.Pozycja The Importance of the Multimedia Cognitive Learning Theory for Teaching of Technical Subjects(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Litecká, Juliána; Mitaľová, ZuzanaThe paper deals with the current requirements and direction of technical education within the framework of the curricular reform in Slovakia and its transition from education to student learning. The theoretical study approximates Mayer’s theory of multimedia education in relation to the causes of cognitive overload, on the basis of which the principles of multimedia design were specified, which we consider crucial for the effective starter of changes in technical education.Pozycja Didactic Film in Computer-Aided Education of People with Visual and Hearing Impairments(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Jędryczkowski, JacekArtificial intelligence mechanisms enable fast speech transcription and printed text recognition (Optical Character Recognition). Speech synthesizers for reading any digital documents have also become popular. In most cases, these are free solutions that can significantly support the education and functioning of people with visual and hearing impairments. Unfortunately, the knowledge of parents and caregivers on this subject is insufficient. Bearing this in mind, a suitable series of educational videos was prepared and published on YouTube. Subsequently, research was conducted to determine whether and to what extent there is a demand for video materials on this topic. For this purpose, the method of implicit observation was used, carried out using YouTube Analytics mechanisms. Its results are available in the form of numerous reports and summaries. Based on the collected materials, a considerable interest in the study was found. It was possible to determine which issues are of particular interest to the recipients. The obtained results will allow for further development of the educational offer.Pozycja Pupils’ Risky Behavior in the Cyberspace During the Transition to Distance Education(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Mičková, Helena; Miková, Jana; Nováková, Zdenka; Šmida, JanIn connection with the covid pandemic and the closing of schools as anti-covid emergency measures in many countries, face-to-face teaching has moved to an online environment. The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic has issued Methodological Recommendations for distance education realized online using software tools, the Internet, and digital technologies. The presented pilot study brought disturbing findings about online teaching, namely that respondents experienced threats during distance education, with some even being blackmailed. Three hundred fifteen respondents from elementary and secondary schools in the Czech Republic took part in the pilot study, which was realized via a questionnaire survey. At the same time, the pilot study points to other risks of online learning when transitioning to a distance form of education, which also presents several other risks in cyberspace.Pozycja An Analysis on Research Trends of Distance Education(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Mitroulia, Maria; Armakolas, Stefanos; Krotký, JanThe term “Distance Education” (hereafter DE) is gaining popularity amid new global trends in cross-cultural studies of transnational education. The main objective of this article is to identify the academic research development and future research goals in the Distance Education domain using the Scopus database in the last decade (2012–2022). To this end, a bibliometric analysis was performed examining the distribution of publications, the most influential scientific publication venues, the most productive authors, and regions and concluding with an explanation of the keywords co-occurrence in line with the VOSviewer program. The outcomes revealed that the most frequently examined topics in the field of DE can be detected, which focused on distance learning, online teaching, online education, moocs, ICT, and constitute subgenres of the literature under consideration. All in all, the paper can help scholars understand and decipher current trends, keep up with DE research directions, and finally enable them to conduct their future research more effectively.Pozycja Homo interneticus – a challenge for modern education(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Walat, WojciechThis paper presents the three characteristics that constitute the modern type of Internet man – homo interneticus – easily lead to the rapid development of functional illiteracy. Therefore, education faces a great challenge in the era of dominant and widely accepted functional illiteracy.Pozycja Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education: Development Trends and New Reality(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Chervona, Lesya; Lakusha, Nataliia; Krokhmal, Nataliia; Myroshnychenko, SerhiiThe article reveals various aspects of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education. Prospects for the use of AI in higher education are discussed, and specific examples of the use of AI for educational purposes are considered. AI, having great potential for improving the quality of higher education, also carries potential risks of use that must be taken into account. The role of artificial intelligence in the educational process of higher education, evaluation and management of educational processes is emphasized. That is why attention is focused on the issue of what aspects are behind the use of AI in education. The issue of ethical and social consequences of the use of AI in education is discussed.Pozycja Artificial Intelligence and Ethics(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Hilcenko, Christine; Taubman-Bassirian, TaraA more covert aspect of Artificial Intelligence (AI) pertains to the ethical quandaries surrounding the actions of machines. In the case of Large Language Models (LLMs), hidden beneath their seemingly impeccable automated outputs lies a colossal amalgamation of trillions of compiled data points, comprising copied blogs, articles, essays, books, and artworks. This raises profound questions about copyright ownership and retribution for the original authors. But beyond intellectual property, another insidious facet of LLMs emerges – their propensity to cause harm to individuals through what can only be described as hallucinatory outputs. Victims of these AI- -generated delusions suffer defamation, and their plight remains largely unnoticed. Amidst the marvels of AI, the plight of the underpaid laborers who form the backbone of AI development is seldom acknowledged, a subject that warrants more profound discussion. Furthermore, as AI algorithms continue to permeate various aspects of society, they bring to the fore issues of bias. For instance, facial recognition technologies frequently exhibit skewed outcomes, leading to false accusations and grave consequences due to over-reliance on these technologies.Pozycja Research Focused on the Development of Technical Literacy of Elementary School Students(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Beisetzer, PeterThe article describes a strategic approach to the development of technical literacy of elementary school students from the point of view of research activities. The research activity is concretized for the development of graphic, spatial imagination, which is assumed by the activities related to the understanding of the text. Research aimed at determining the degree of correlation between reading an educational text with comprehension and geometric, spatial imagination will contribute to the evaluation of the issue.Pozycja School Curriculum of Technology in Primary Schools in Slovakia – A Case Study(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Lukáčová, DankaSince 2008, schools in Slovakia have been able to adapt the curriculum of each subject according to the requirements of the school, pupils or parents. Only the content and performance standards of the subject are binding for them. In this article, we publish an analysis of three school curricula and thematic educational plans. Through content analysis of the documents, we investigated how primary schools implement the content of the subject of technology. We analysed the differences in the thematic units, common features and the number of lessons each topic implements. We found differences in the thematic units that primary school teachers include in teaching technology, although they are insignificant. We identified the most considerable differences in the seventh year of primary school. Also, the thematic units taught in the subject area of Household economics are very heterogeneous in schools.Pozycja Programming Robots in Kindergarten(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Nikolić, Sanja; Hilčenko, SlavoljubChildren at an early age easily acquire new technical and technological knowledge, and their abilities and skills surpass all expectations. Nowadays, children are already familiar with and interested in new technologies from a very young age, as it is an integral part of everyday life and has great potential for future development. In light of this, programming robots in kindergarten emerges as a very relevant and popular topic, which is precisely the subject of this paper.Pozycja Designing Experiments for a Research-Oriented Model of Learning in the Subject of Technique in Lower Secondary Education(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Ďuriš, Milan; Očkajová, Alena; Kvasnová, PetraIn this article, attention is paid to the selected design of experiments that will be part of a research-oriented model of students’ education in the subject of Technique in lower secondary education in the Slovak Republic. The proposed model of education reflects the long-term needs of students’ education in the subject of Technique, which, despite the updated content of the curriculum in the Educational Standard of the subject of Technique, have not yet been met. Part of the model is the application of formative assessment of students in the framework of the implemented experiential learning of students. Due to the limited scope of this article, two experiments from the set of proposed experiments are presented with the methodology of the actual implementation. The given problem is solved within the KEGA project No. 006UMB-4/2022 in the years 2022–2024.Pozycja Renewal Plan and Reform State Educational Programme in Relation to the Perspective of Technical Education in Primary Schools in Slovakia(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Pavelka, JozefThe study is based on selected parts of the Renewal Plan – Component 7: Education for the 21st Century, outlining the main aims and objectives of curriculum reform for primary and secondary education in Slovakia. The reform is set to be fully implemented from 2026. In relation to the aims and objectives of the curriculum reform, the study presents analytical conclusions regarding possible problem areas related to technical education in primary schools.Pozycja Didactics of Electrical Engineering and Its Components in the Context of Digitalization of Education(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Serafín, ČestmírDidactics is defined as the theory of education. It deals with the specific forms, procedures and goals of teaching that a teacher implements with his/her students. As such, it is an integral part of pedagogy. Since the forms, procedures and objectives of teaching vary in their specificity for the different fields, disciplines and subjects of education, this specificity is reflected in the disciplinary or subject didactics. The latter thus deal with the processes of teaching and learning with regard to subject-specificity and specificity. The article is thematically devoted to the area of subject or subject didactics, specifically didactics of electrical engineering, which is of particular importance for vocational technical education, as it forms a key part of it both in practice and in the preparation of teachers of such disciplines. The article also presents some of the results of the author’s research from recent years, which focuses specifically on the areas of modern technologies and their impact on the teaching process, especially in electrical engineering-oriented teaching subjects; tools for developing technical but also digital literacy are presented.Pozycja A Teacher in the Era of the Spread of Artificial Intelligence Applications – Challenges and Difficulties(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Ścieranka, SandraThe tasks of a modern teacher are definitely different from those they had to perform a decade ago. In the era of various changes taking place, constantly developing, but also accompanying digitization in every sphere of life, the role of the teacher takes on a new meaning – flexibility and openness to changes on their part become necessary. Therefore, teachers face new challenges, roles and skills to expand. The conducted considerations are aimed at showing the impact of digitization both on the daily work of the teacher, the performance of professional functions, as well as his relationship with students. The punchline becomes the need to use artificial intelligence tools, as well as the essence and necessity of media literacy of modern teachers, which is reflected in the entire didactic process carried out among students shaped by digitization and the world of media. Among the others, the aim of the work was to determine attitudes of the educators (on the rating scale) about the presented approach to the work.Pozycja Child: “I don’t Understand – We didn’t Learn that in Kindergarten!”(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Hilčenko, Slavoljub; Nikolić, SanjaBy the end of 2022, Serbia transformed its preschool education system, transitioning from a traditional approach to a project-based learning approach. However, if this transformation remains limited to preschool education without coordinated changes in learning at lower (and even higher) grades of elementary school in the next 4–8 year cycle, teachers, children, and their parents will be most affected. We believe that the new project-based approach to learning for children will not provide adequate fundamental and systematic knowledge in many scientific fields, including mathematics methodology (e.g., spatial and temporal relationships, arithmetic, number concept, ratios, fractions, geometry…). The consequences will not only be visible in their further education but also in their inadequate preparation to navigate their environment and understand space, time, relationships, and other mathematical concepts. This is what the educators' survey results are talking. The aim of this paper is to highlight possible problems since the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the Ministry of Education have not suggested a linear reform of these education levels.Pozycja Involvement of Young People in Extracurricular Activities in General Education Secondary School – an Opportunity for their Balanced Development(The University of Rzeszów Publishing House, 2023-12) Tłuczek-Tadla, EwaThe article addresses important issues related to the daily educational experiences of Polish secondary school students. In the first place it focuses on the general concepts conveyed by the title, such as balanced development, extracurricular activities, and volunteering. The theoretical and exploratory purpose as well as practical and implementation related goals have been formulated. The main research problem was defined as follows: What was secondary school students’ involvement in extracurricular activities in school, in the context of their opportunities for balanced development? The study applied a method of diagnostic assessment, a survey technique and a specially designed questionnaire. The survey was conducted in May and June 2022 among 286 secondary school students in the Podkarpackie Region. Majority of the respondents did not engage in extracurricular activities. The students who were involved in some kind of extracurricular activity most often perceived various gains for themselves. The most popular were volunteering projects organised by the school. The students reported that involvement in extracurricular activities most often allowed them to gain knowledge, develop skills and help other people. The gains perceived by the respondents can contribute to their balanced development.
