Faculty round for the Mihály Tompa National Competition

On the 27th of March 2024, the Faculty of Teacher Education organised a faculty round for the Mihály Tompa National Competition, which is a reciting contest. On this occasion, the students, namely Mercédesz Karvai, Júlia Szabó, Veronika Fagyas and Dániel Nemes, recited their chosen poems. They will now participate in the national semi-finals. It is our goal to make a tradition out of the recitation competition at our faculty and we would like to thank our students for their participation.

The children of the Franciscan Friends Street Kindergarten were active participants of the Open Day of Selye János University 2024 on 14 February. With their help, we were able to show the visitors what tasks and duties await future kindergarten teachers, for which our university provides excellent training.

J. Selye University commemorates the 100th anniversary of Béla Bartók’s concert in Komárno

On February 5, 2024, we remembered an event that exactly one hundred years ago was one of the most significant events in the cultural life of Komárno. On this day, exactly on February 5, 1924 the well-known Hungarian folk music researcher, music educator, composer and pianist, Béla Bartók, gave a concert in the representative hall of the Komárno Cultural Palace – today is called the Danube Region Museum in Komárno. This event served as the occasion for the commemoration of Béla Bartók at the memorial plaque on the wall of the Danube Region Museum.

Ágota Csehi, the docent of the University J. Selye, praised Bartók’s work and his ties to the region of contemporary Slovakia, highlighting several important information regarding the organization and reception of the concert. Kinga Horváth, the Dean of the Faculty of Education of J. Selye University, placed the wreath of remembrance, accompanied by Ágota Csehi and Yvette Orsovics, and in the presence of István Stubendek, the conductor of the Concordia Mixed Choir. During the commemorative ceremony, the University of J. Selye’s women choir, Cantus Iuvents, and some young singers of the Schola Mariana Great Choir performed Hungarian folk songs by Béla Bartók under the direction of Yvette Orsovics. With this event, the participants honored the memory of this outstanding personality even a century later.

Final defense of the KEGA project

On January 11, 2024, the KEGA project no. 005UJS-4/2021 Adaptation and standardization of DIFER (Diagnostic assessment system for development) for 4-8-year-old children  was defended at the Faculty of Education in J.Selye University. The project leader was Krisztián Józsa. They participated in the project:  PaedDr. Diana Borbélyová, PhD., Dr.habil. PaedDr. Horváth Kinga, PhD., Mgr. Orsovics Yvette, PhD. (Department of Primary and Pre-School Education), PaedDr. Nagyová Alexandra, PhD. (Department of Pedagogy). In this context, the original contribution of the project is making the foreign  research and diagnostic tool DIFER available by adapting and standardizing it for the conditions of education in kindergartens and primary schools in Slovakia with the Hungarian language of instruction. Kindergarten and primary school teachers can use this diagnostic tool to monitor the development of children and students, both when determining their eligibility to enter primary schools, as well as their progress after entering compulsory school attendance. This standardized tool serves to assess the level of personality development of a child between the ages of 4 and 8 and can also be used to monitor the individual education of children in compulsory pre-primary education.

The Advent Concert Series of Cantus Iuventus

The Advent is a time of anticipation, heralding the arrival of one of the most celebrated holidays of the year. The J. Selye University’s female choir, Cantus Iuventus, has accepted several invitations in this year.
On 3rd December, in Komárno, the first candle on the city’s Advent wreath was lit in Klapka Square. Our choir prepared a bouquet of short Advent songs and had the opportunity, as the first, to try out the ‘singing Christmas tree’.
On 12th December the choir performed at two different venues. At noon, the choir’s chamber group delighted the residents of the Timoteus House, and in the afternoon, they sang for the seniors in the pensioners’ club. The choir received a warm and friendly welcome and a good atmosphere in both places. On 13th December Cantus Iuventus presented an Advent concert in the university’s assembly hall for the university’s lecturers and staff.
Many thanks to the singers, the accompanist Ágota Csehi and the choirmaster Yvette Orsovics.

b. Characteristics of the study programme information management (access to study literature according to Course information sheets, access to information databases and other information sources, information technologies, etc.). 

The university library provides physical access to the literature for the study programme, at least to the extent of the compulsory literature listed in the course information sheets. The library uses the DAWINCI library information system, which is a modern library information system that integrates the latest elements from server applications, database systems, document management and, in conjunction with library knowledge and experience, transforms them into a comprehensive multimedia library system. Since 2006, the University Library JSU has also used this library information system to manage the library collection, manage loans and admin system of publication activities. The system provides users with access to individual library collections through the OPAC Online catalogue via the website. The University Library of JSU just like other university libraries, is involved in the central register of the admin system of publication activities for the needs of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Slovak Republic. Access of students and teachers to the necessary databases is also solved by remote access via CVTI SR. This approach provides access to foreign scientific journals available in the online databases of individual publishers. The university library organizes workshops that support orientation in publication databases and work with literary sources.

c. Characteristics and extent of distance education applied in the study programme with the assignment to courses. Accesses, manuals of e-learning portals. Procedures for the transition from contact teaching to distance learning. 

For the needs of distance education or education by a combined method, the university has 4 BigBlueButton video conference servers in operation. An alternative tool for distance learning is the MS Teams platform, as part of the Office 365 A1 for faculty package, which is available to all teachers and students.  In 2015, an e-learning system based on the open-source LMS Moodle was created and put into operation at JSU. Moodle continues to offer the possibility of publishing study and additional materials for individual courses, the possibility of assigning homework and electronic testing of knowledge in the authorised zone. In addition to the possibility of cable connection, which is available in the halls of residence, UL and other selected places, students in all JSU buildings have access to the Internet via WiFi connectivity. The person's authentication (login name and password) is required to connect to the network. In 2016, a centralized print system was introduced, which is also available to students.  

d. Institution partners in providing educational activities for the study programme and the characteristics of their participation.

Main institution partners in providing educational activities for the study programme are practising schools and kindergartens which contribute the pedagogical praxis for students of study programme as trainee teachers.

The Faculty of Education is in collaboration with more than 30 practising schools and kindergartens in Slovakia. There are practising schools not only in Komárno, but in Dunajská Streda, Veľký Meder, Galanta, Nové Zámky, Rožňava, Kráľovský Chlmec, Bratislava, Šahy, Štúrovo, Veľké Kapušany, Kolárovo and Rimavská Sobota as well.

In the course of pedagogical praxis students observe and analyse the process of education, learn how to apply theoretical knowledge, and acquire essential skills for the pedagogical profession.

e. Characteristics of the possibilities for social, sports, cultural, spiritual and social activities.

The conditions of providing scholarships from the state budget as well as from JSU's own resources are regulated by the JSU Scholarship Rules and Regulations. During their studies, JSU also provides its students with a stimulating environment. JSU effectively manages and operates JSU Halls of Residence (Dormitories), where it provides comfortable accommodation to university students with suitable conditions for quality housing with adequate hygienic standards and safety.  In the area of the Halls of Residence there is a multifunctional sports ground enabling students to meaningfully spend their free time and play sports. JSU also provides students with catering services in the building of the JSU Conference Centre.  In the university’s Sports Centre, students have the opportunity to play sports and carry out other leisure activities. 

The university also aims to provide opportunities for cultural, social and spiritual activities. Young talents will find their place in the Cantus Iuventus choir, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2023. Students also have the opportunity to visit a chapel established in the Čajka Hall of Residence.

f. Possibilities and conditions for participation of the study programme students in mobilities and internships (indicating contact details), application instructions, rules for recognition of this education. 

J. Selye University offers its students foreign student mobility opportunities within the mobility programmes Erasmus+, Makovecz and CEEPUS.
