Investigating Language Barriers in Public Healthcare Services: A Case Study of International Students in Budapest, Hungary
158-184Views:265Language barriers in healthcare impact the cost and quality of services, affecting international students in Budapest, Hungary. The study explores challenges faced by international students in understanding medical advice within the public healthcare system and identify strategies to overcome these challenges. A qualitative approach involving eighteen international students from various universities in Budapest was used for data analysis. While most participants did not face urgent health issues, those with more severe conditions encountered significant language barriers, signage issues, and access delays. The primary challenge identified was the language barrier, which complicated communication with medical staff. Participants utilized technology like Google Translate, interpreters, and non-verbal communication to overcome language barriers. The study emphasizes the need for policies to enhance communication between healthcare providers and international students for equitable access to quality healthcare services.

A szubjektív jóllét és az adaptív-konvergens, illetve exaptív-divergens gondolkodás közötti kapcsolat a koronavírus-járvány idején
145-164Views:413The relationship between well-being and adaptive-convergent and exaptive-divergent thinking during the coronavirus pandemic: In our paper we investigate whether there is a relationship between well-being and adaptive-convergent and exaptive-divergent thinking. In other words, the central question of our paper is to what extent different coping strategies, borrowed from evolutionary biology, influence the level of subjective well-being during the coronavirus pandemic. For the empirical examination of our question, we used a data collection of 1,000 people, representing the Hungarian population over 18 years of age. To examine the relationships between the factors under investigation, we built four regression models. Our results show that well-being is enhanced by both adaptive-convergent (logical, systematic) and exaptive-divergent (creative, innovative) thinking. This relationship is valid even when the effects of the coronavirus epidemic on well-being are excluded, and divergent thinking also helps to make people less affected by the pandemic.

Az inklúzió és a sajátos nevelési igény lehetséges kontextusai egy nemzetközi kutatás tükrében
112-132Views:286Tanulmányunkban az iskolai inklúzió és a sajátos nevelési igénye (a továbbiakban: SNI) összefüggéseit vizsgáltuk egy nemzetközi kutatás keretében. Az elméleti részben vázoljuk a szegregációtól az integráción át az inklúzióig tartó folyamatot, mely alapján vitatott az egyes fogalmak használata. Az iskolarendszerben az integráció a fogyatékossággal élő tanulók szegregált oktatásával szemben kialakult megközelítést és gyakorlatot jelenti, melynek célja az elkülönített oktatás felszámolása volt. Az SNI nem diagnosztikus, hanem iskoláztatási fogalom, és a gyógypedagógiai és a jogi fogalomhasználat sem esik egybe. Kutatásunkba ukrajnai (kárpátaljai, 280 fő), lengyel (271 fő) és magyarországi (552 fő) tanulók kerültek. Az iskolai befogadást és a társas támogatást az iskolai sikerek alakítják, növelik. A sikerek képesek a tanulási problémákkal küzdő tanulók önbecsülését is növelni, ami együtt jár a társas támogatás növekedésének és a kirekesztés csökkenésének a szubjektív észlelésével.

A húsvéti járvány – a COVID-19 várható hatásai az Euro-atlanti tér társadalmaira
5-23Views:266The purpose of this article is to estimate the changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic for healthcare and the medical industry that serves it. Furthermore, an estimate of the expected impact of the epidemic onto economic and social change. In addition, to estimate the expected impact of the epidemic on economic and social changes. The article was written in two different periods. The first part ended in April 2020 and the second part in April 2021. The article is essentially a thought experiment. A reasoning enclosed in a bottled mail that the author rewrote after a year in the light of the changing facts. The article concludes that COVID-19 will help complete a long economic cycle. This crisis accelerates a technological shift in which creative destruction occurs in the economic subsystem as well as in other subsystems of the society. The new long economic cycle (Cycle K), just as it happened after World War II, builds a new social quality. At the beginning of the new K cycle, the former welfare state model is replaced by a wellbeing society concept. The basis of a wellbeing society will be solidarity, cooperation and quality. For the individual, health will no longer be just an optional lifestyle, but an effective form of survival.

A testnevelés infrastrukturális háttérfeltételeinek vizsgálata a szakiskolák körében
65-75Views:347Physical activity is important at all ages, especially in the case of adolescents, as the foundations of most adult habits are laid down in this age. With the introduction of everyday physical education in public education, great progress has been made in Hungary in achieving regular physical activity among young generations. However, to be able to ensure this, certain infrastructure conditions are also required. In our research, we were interested in how well Hungarian vocational schools are equipped with gyms. In Budapest and also in the counties of Hungary, we visited a total of 84 vocational schools. On the basis of the data obtained, it can be concluded that the number of available gyms is currently not sufficient for high quality physical education lessons.

A tanári pályaújraorientáció motivációs mintázatai a posztpandémiás szakmai tanárképzésben - egy kvalitatív modell bemutatása
153-176Views:22Teacher career choice has become a prominent field of research in educational sciences over the past decade, with increasing attention to motivations related to adult career change. This study examines the choice of the teaching profession from a life-course and reflexive perspective, employing the FIT-Choice model developed by Watt and Richardson (2007) exclusively as a deductive reference framework, while remaining open to the contextual specificities of Hungarian vocational teacher education. The empirical basis of the research consists of N = 187 motivation letters submitted by applicants to the engineering teacher and economics teacher education programmes at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. The texts were analysed using qualitative methods with the support of Atlas.ti software, applying a combined deductive–inductive coding strategy. The analysis identified six major motivational dimensions, which partially correspond to the theoretical categories of the FIT-Choice model, while also revealing novel, context-specific motives embedded in the Hungarian higher education and societal environment. These findings contribute to a more nuanced understanding of contemporary interpretations of the teaching profession within an increasingly unstable social context.
