How is digitalisation going on in a Romani community in Hungary
The authors show how social attitudes (like local moves) are influenced by ethnic relations within a local Romani community.
It is a piece of study on the history of comparative education in Central and Eastern Europe
A tanulmány előző változatának kiegészített változata.
This book is the fourth in our innovation series. In the previous volumes, we looked at the prerequisites for social innovation. In our 2019 publication, we looked at learning communities as the starting point and initiator of social innovation (Learning Communities and Social Innovation). In our 2021 book, we explored the possibilities and methods...
Idén tízéves a DORA, a San Franciscó-i természettudósok nyilatkozata a kutatások értékeléséről. A tanulmány bemutatja ennek a szervezetnek a keletkezését, tevékenységét, eredményeit és törekvéseit. A DORA az egyre szélsőségesebben kvantifikálódó kutatásértékelés helyett/mellett a kvalitatív értékelés fontosságát hangsúlyozza, bemutatva annak lehető...
It is a study of the Gypsy/Romani community in Mezőtúr, a small Hungarian town in the middle of the Great Plain. Gypsies and Romanies, indicated here, are not cooperating but living in a socio-economic tension which is a permanent challenge to the local society and its authority.
Our everyday lives are saturated by innovations. We don't even realise how many problems we have to solve every day, including some that are not just our own, individual problems, but those of a wider or smaller community. Many of these problems cannot be solved in the traditional way, by the means we are used to. In such cases, we look for new sol...
It is a review of a new (2021) monograph on the history of community broadcasting in Hungary after the political transition (1993 - 2008). The dilemma of local broadcasting is its insecure position between public (government supported) and popular media. Community broadcasting can only be survive if the local civic society is strong enough to suppo...
The LearnInnov project explored the key role of learning in social
innovation. Local communities, with active learning, became the focus of our
research. If innovations stem from such communities, strengthening them is
vital. But what is a ‘community’ and how do we define it? If strengthening
these communities is crucial, how do we nurture them to...
Innovations can be sustainable if the local, regional or national government accepts them as legal. However, if innovation becomes part of the government practice, it cannot remain spontaneous and voluntary anymore. Studying the case of a microregion in the Transdanubian region of Hungary, the author concludes that the theories of social innovation...
It is a review of the book titled "Educating Intellectuals at the University" written by Veronika Bocsi (Univ of Debrecen, Hungary) and published by Belvedere Meridionale in Szeged, Hungary. The book is a combination of theoretical analysis and empirical research of the presence and the future of the "first-generation intellectuals".
The aim of this paper is to highlight the internationalisation process and its contradictions in the higher education system of Hungary. First, it reviews the statistics of higher education internationalisation in Hungary. Second, it presents the government strategy of internationalisation and how the institutions implement that strategy. Third, it...
Remek új könyv született a hátrányos helyzetről, mégpedig olyan szerző tollából, aki az oktatásföldrajz kevéssé megművelt területéről érkezett az oktatáskutatásba. Szépen kiállított kötet, amely a szerzőn túl a kiadót is dicséri (Hegedűs: KOMPETENCIÁK – HÁTRÁNYOK – TÉRSÉGEK. DEBRECENI EGYETEMI KIADÓ, 2020.
Peter Frankopan új világtörténetet írt, amelyben a világfordító eseményeket az egykori selyemutak kereszteződésében, a Közel- és Közép-Keleten keresi. Két könyve (Frankopan: Selyemutak, 2020 és uő. Új selyemutak, 2021) nem is annyira világtörténet, mint inkább jelen világunk politikatörténete, el egészen a máig. Szemlélete komoly feladatok elé állí...
Összefoglaló. Hogyan határozzák meg az eddig történtek az új oktatáspolitikát? a) Folytatódik-e a demográfiai csökkenés, vagy bekövetkezik az immigráció? b) A járványveszély szétzilálta a hagyományos iskolai rendet. Minél hamarabb térjünk vissza a megszokott iskolai rendhez, vagy el kell térnünk ettől a jövőben? c) Az új tulajdonosi viszonyok a fel...
A közjóról folyó közgazdasági diskurzus az 1980-as évek neoliberalizmusa során elevenedett föl, amikor a közgazdászok és politikusok ki akarták jelölni a privatizáció határait. Ebből a diskurzusból kiderült, hogy közjó és magánjavak csak együtt, egymásra vonatkoztatva értelmezhetők. Ennek érzékeltetésére az oktatásügy kiválóan alkalmas, mivel funkc...
Összefoglaló. A szervezetkutatások egyik régóta ismert megállapítása a „szervezeti túlélés”. Ez annyit jelent, hogy a szervezet képes fönnmaradni akkor is, ha a szükséglet, amelynek betöltésére létrejött, többé már nem létezik. Az OECD története jól illusztrálja a szervezeti túlélést. Elődszervezetének keletkezése (1947), eredeti funkciója, majd sz...
Összefoglaló. Ennek az írásnak a célja kettős. Egyrészt bevezetés kíván lenni a Harmincéves az Educatio további tanulmányaihoz; másrészt pedig visszapillantás az EDU 1992–2018 között szerkesztett Mérleg -számaira. Ezek a számok olvashatók mind papír alapon, mind pedig online formában. Ami nem olvasható, az a keletkezéstörténetük. A Mérleg -számok ö...
Az egyetem elhelyezkedése a városban vagy a campuson - épülete, logója, elnevezése, oktatási nyelve - mind-mind jelentést hordoz. Az egyetem fenntartója és finanszírozója üzen vele más közösségeknek, akik az egyetem körül élnek, vagy akik ellenzik az egyetemet. A politikusnak is fontos lehet ezeknek az üzeneteknek a megértése. Segítségükkel megnyer...
In this study, we examine the partnership between the government of Hungary and the schools in the Covid-19 pandemic. The first wave of the pandemic (March–May 2020) was taken as a challenge that resulted in cooperation between the two main educational policy actors. Their cooperation, however, proved to be temporary. The educational policy actors...
This study reviews the literature on community schools and experiential pedagogy as innovative pedagogical movements. First, we characterize community schools and find their place in the field of educational activities, involving parents and local NGOs therefore offering a rich variety of experiential pedagogical activities. Second, we present an e...
Social innovations arise when a challenge hits the community and threatens its very existence. In such a case, the members of the community can only address the challenge through collaboration and new ideas. What happens, however, if the community does not exist any more so the challenge hits the inhabitants individually? According to the “communit...
This paper is an introduction of OECD from the point of view of Organisational Behaviour. It presents the organisation as it is and as the organisation's narratives present it. The move of OECD to East-Central Europe after the 1989/90 turn and the impact of this policy are also described.
What happens, if a university moves to a town that never had a higher education institution previously? What is the impact of this development both on the community and the institution? The aim of this paper is to answer this question. The authors use the concept of ‘social innovation’ for understanding the developments. An institute may initiate,...
Összefoglaló. A társadalmi innovációt és közösségi tanulást kutatók általában társadalmi méretű természeti katasztrófákból indulnak ki (Moulaert et al. 2013: 113–130) . Mi a járványt próbáljuk úgy tekinteni, mint az egész közösséget érő kihívást, amely új tanulásokat és innovációkat eredményez (Márkus–Kozma 2019: 5–17) . Paradigmatikus kutatási mód...
Összefoglaló. A befogadás (inklúzió) eredetileg a szegénypolitika (szociálpolitika) szakkifejezése volt. Onnan terjedt át a társadalompolitikába és a pedagógiába (gyógypedagógia). A Lisszaboni Egyezmény (2000) óta az Európai Unió hivatalos állásfoglalásaiban visszatérően szerepel mint törekvés a „társadalmi kohézió” erősítésére. A jogvédelem eredet...
Társadalmi innovációk akkor keletkeznek, amikor egy közösséget olyan kihívás ér, amely a létét fenyegeti, és amelyet a közösség tagjai csak összefogással és új ötletekkel tudnak elhárítani. De mi történik, ha szembe kell nézni a kihívással, de nincs közösség, nincs, aki szembenézzen vele? A “community building” irodalma szerint a szétesett egykori...
"Inclusion" has initially been a social policy term. Its use spread from there to policies of welfare, healthcare and education (special education). Inclusion has repeatedly mentioned since the Treaty of Lisbon (2007) in European Union resolutions as an effort to strengthen "social cohesion." "Legal protection", on the other hand, goes back to the...

Előzmények. Eddigi kutatásaink bizonyították a közösségi tanulás kulcsszerepét a társadalmi innovációk kialakulásában. Jelen vizsgálódás a szervezetek szerepét keresi a társadalmi innovációkban. A vizsgált intézményt mint közösségi főiskolát alapították, de az alapító és az önkormányzat hamar belátta, hogy magánintézményként szabadabban működhet. A...

Social innovation as a reinvented concept is widely used and seriously contested (Bradford; Phills, Deiglmeier & Miller; Pol & Ville; Mulgan et al.; Nichols & Murdock; etc.) Following Ferguson (The Square and the Tower, 2017), the author interprets the concept social innovation as a product of the social networks (the Square) which time to time has...

The main factors influencing the spatial structure of higher education are a) the demographic changes, b) the economic and social developments; and c) the political transition (Rechnitzer 2010). Before the political transition (1989/90) the spatial structure of the higher education has essentially been expanded under the influence of the regional /...

Can we talk about an emerging middle class among the Romani people of Central and Eastern Europe? It seems to be a legitimate question after the ‘Decade of Roma Inclusion’ between 2005-2015, that gathered data from 12 participating EU-countries, mostly from Central and Eastern Europe (Brüggemann 2012; Rorke, B, Matache, M, Friedman E, 2015; Decade...
Community-based innovations are bottom-up activities--but they cannot go up on the hierarchical ladder of administration. It is the main reason that most of them remain small-scale and community level innovations.
Community-based innovations are bottom-up activities--but they cannot go up on the hierarchical ladder of administration. It is the main reason that most of them remain small-scale and community level innovations. One of the questions for our future research is the conditions under which those community-based social innovations can make breakthroug...
This volume provides a summary of the latest findings of the research into learning
regions conducted between 2011-2015 (LeaRn project), presenting the surveys and
analyses comprehensively for the first time in Hungarian. LeaRn project was

under no. 2011/K-101867.
The pursuit to construct " world-class " universities is an ongoing global obsession across the world, which lays emphasis on the development of competitive higher education and research systems as core national economic approach. The portrayal " world-class " is more contextual rather than absolute, the expression " world-class university " has an...
It is an experiment to apply Niall Ferguson’s theory (The Square and the Tower, 2017) to some processes in the present Hungarian education policy.

This article addresses the role of educational researchers in the process of the so-called transition in Slovenia. The concept of transition is critically reflected; we believe that understanding of transition processes needs to be installed in a broader historical, social and cultural context. This context is briefly outlined. Processes that have...
This study is composed of three chapters. We compartmentalised the study according to the periods in Hungary’s system changes. In each chapter we characterised; the period, its education policy and lastly its educational research. Naturally, we could not review the entirety of the educational research. To this end, we highlighted educational resear...
A few of the public schools in Hungary declared themselves ‘oecumenical’ during the first period of the political transition of 1988-1993. ‘Oecumenical’ meant in that context the faith-based but non-denominational school program and curriculum developed jointly by the parents (PTA) and the teachers of the indicated institutions. At the same time th...

Keynote speech, ECER XVI (European Conference of Educational Research), Budapest, Hungary, 7-11 September 2015
Keynote speech, given to ECER XVI (Budapest, Hungary, 7-11 Sept 2015. Brief Hungarian version. Az ECER 2015 (Budapest) egyik nyitó előadásának rövid magyar összefoglalója.
The modern Hungarian school system developed during the Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy. General compulsory education was introduced with the passing of the first Education Act in 1868 when elementary (primary) schools were established; the Upper Schools Act from 1883 regulated the secondary school system that up to this point had been by and large...
On the cusp of 1989-90, a political transition took place in Hungary, accompanied and followed by the political transition of the other former socialist states. The previous system is often referred to as the "party-state" system (one-party system or "state socialism"). Its existence had relied on the Soviet Union's military support since 1956 and...
