: The paper comprises a retrospective overview of the educational situation of the Roma in the USA. In contrast to the European situation, efforts to establish schools for Romanies in the United States have been both few in number and – with only a couple of limited exceptions – unsuccessful. There are ap-proximately one million Romanies in the USA, a number which is slowly growing and till now there are any schools established for Romanies to learn their mother tongue or to get integrated in the mainstream educational system of the USA.

The 2019 edition of the joint OECD, ILO, IOM & UNHCR International Mi-gration and Displacement Trends and Policies Report shows that by mid-2018, despite decreasing numbers of refugees entering the European Union and Tur-key, the global refugee population had reached 25.7 million (EASO Annual Report..., 2019). We are not able to hold people back from escaping a bombed country with a totalitarian regime where their health and/or life is in danger. The process of becoming/being a refugee is complicated and multi-staged in its nature (pre-emigration phase; escape; reaching the country of first asylum; settling in a new country; post-migration/repatriation phase (return to the home country) (Grzymała-Moszczyńska 2000). A change of place of residence is connected with the constant accumulation of new, sometimes very difficult, experiences at various levels of human functioning.

Students with asylum seekers and refugee backgrounds often leave schools early, which is caused by many diffi-culties in their path (poor linguistic competences in the field of new language, cultural differences, including conflict of values, school backlogs, unstable life situation, insufficient support system at school, etc. Because of that, some of them become part of the so-called excluded generation (Telles, Ortiz 2008).

: In order to live a normal life, a person must answer the question about themselves – about their image, worldview, capabilities. Typically, one’s identity is built on the basis of the opinions of the environment. A person either compares themselves with it or uses the opinions of people who are important to them. In this way, the person builds their own inner continuity, which provides them with a sense of stability. It is a dynamic process which very often determines the colour and com-plexity of human life. Today, the closest environment are more and more often the social media. Especially for young people, they are becoming an important source of information about themselves and the world. Yet to what extent do social media offer opportunities for authentic manifestation of one’s self, and to what extent do they become a space for creating parallel identities? Young users are eager to use social media, which influence their lives and identities. The problem is illustrated with the example of China, a large and original social media market.

: In the empirical study of intercultural exchange presented in this pa-per, we assessed Erasmus students for knowledge of English as a foreign language (EFL) and their level of reflective judgement, to test for correlation between the two variables. The basic theoretical framing was derived from King and Kitchener’s (1994) reflective judgment model (RJM), based on 3 different levels of reflectivity, connected to progressive cognitive development of adults: pre-reflective, quasi-reflective and reflective. The results of the study show that the students displayed high levels of reflective judgment and importantly, we found a correlation between their standard of English and their level of reflectivity. The ability to communicate in English is a prerequisite to participation in the Erasmus programme, therefore it was expected that the students would score well for English knowledge. However, the results of the study suggest that being competent in the use of English as a foreign language may be a predictor of higher reflectivity amongst students in higher education. This creates a controversial pedagogical implication suggesting that learning English as a foreign language to a high standard fuels reflectivity. no connection between level of reflective judgement and previous studies or stays abroad as an adult and no connection between the level of the second foreign language and the reflective judgement level. However, we found connection between EFL skills and reflective judgment levels. There was a weak statistical correlation between level of reflective judgement and having been abroad as a child, and a stronger connection between level of reflective judgement and the level of English as a foreign language. The results were indicative of tendency to link EFL skills with reflective judgement and vice versa.

The formal and informal relationship of the teacher and pupil is a significant aspect, which is directly reflected in the quality of the educational process. Due to inclusion, there is an even greater necessity to focus attention also on the relationship plane of the teacher and pupil from a different cultural background because the socio-cultural specifics permeate into the daily interactions in the school and they substantially influence the motivation and learning of the Romani pupil. The objective of the presented study was to clarify the significant aspects of the teacher-pupil relationship that influenced the young Romani and their view129 R.

: The article is theoretical and is a reflection on the cultural context of school, including Jerome S. Bruner’s concept. The existing research on the Pol-ish school and the multiculturalism of its students indicates its various models and the need for dialogue education. This leads to determining how learning in a multicultural school co-occurs with its discourse. The theoretical analysis of the problems raised in the article concerns the role of contemporary school and its meetings with a culturally different world, a place of intercultural dialogue and dialogue learning. Based on the concept of J.S. Bruner, the article is an attempt to determine the importance of various habituses of school education participants and their impact on the development and culture of school itself. The theoretical issue is also the reproduction of the “majority” culture in the school education process and the students constructing knowledge about the world, giving it meaning in conditions of cultural diversity. The idea of dialogue education with J.S. Bruner’s concept and its theoretical contexts were compared with some ex-amples of educational practice and the school reality.
这篇文章是理论性的,是对学校文化背景的反思,包括Jerome S. Bruner的概念。现有的关于波兰学派及其学生的多元文化主义的研究表明,波兰学派的模式多种多样,需要对话教育。这就决定了多元文化学校的学习是如何与话语共同发生的。对文章中提出的问题的理论分析涉及当代学校的作用及其与文化不同的世界,跨文化对话和对话学习的场所的会议。本文以布鲁纳(J.S. Bruner)的概念为基础,试图确定学校教育参与者的各种习惯的重要性及其对学校自身发展和文化的影响。理论问题也是“多数”文化在学校教育过程中的再生产,以及学生建构关于世界的知识,在文化多样性的条件下赋予其意义。将布鲁纳的对话教育理念及其理论背景与教育实践实例和学校实际进行了比较。
