In vitro fertilization, chance or threat? 

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process by which egg cells are fertilized by sperm outside the body, in vitro. The process involves hormonally controlling the ovulatory process, removing ova (eggs) from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilize them in a fluid medium. The zygote (fertilized egg) is then transferred to the women’s uterus with the intent to establish a successful pregnancy. The first successful birth of a „test tube baby”, Louise Brown, occurred in 1978. Robert Geoffrey Edwards, the doctor who developed the treatment, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2010.

Optimism and antihealthy behaviours of students of teacher traning courses

The article presents the relationship between optimism and the anti health behavior of young people studying scholastic at the University of Zielona Gora. The study was conducted in the academic year 2007/2008. It examined the level of optimism using the Life Orientation Test in reference to the 10 basic anti health behaviors. It was noted that there is a relationship between optimism and anti health behavior. The test results can be used for professional development of current and future teachers.

Ecological knowledge and health attitudes prospective teachers of physical education from Gdańsk

 Knowledge about environmental conditioning of health and health attitudes in students of The Academy of Physical Education and Sport in Gdańsk

Knowledge concerning environmental conditioning of health and psycho-physical efficiency acquired in the process of studies at Physical Education colleges should be aimed at forming positive attitudes and health beliefs. However, it is dubious whether at such advanced stage of higher studies there is any chance of shaping beliefs through the acquired knowledge, or whether the scope of knowledge is rather a result of beliefs gained in the younger school age The main aim of this study was assessment of knowledge about ecology and environmental protection including ecological and health aspects of physical education acquired by students during the course of studies. Also health beliefs were subjected to the assessment and were compared between chosen groups from Physical Education and Public Health faculties.  A link between the level of ecological-health knowledge and health beliefs was determined in both examined groups.

Key words: ecological and health education, environmental conditions of health, health attitudes, holistic/functional model, biomedical model.

Issues of the methods choose  at the biology-didactical research

Author conveys main trends in the development of biology didactics during 20-th century. As very important take the successive transformations of the earlier biology  methodic-as applied subject of study – into scientific branches of sciences, also the formulation of its methodological basis and searching for adequate methods and tools of investigation. Further on he discuss the controversy between importance/range of the quantitative and qualitative methods of research and the complementary both of them. Therefore it would be advisable to use both of them together or interchangeably.

After them author describe chosen investigation and factors  influencing quality of  the qualitative investigation, as well the characteristic feature ,  theoretical and practical importance  of  the biology educational researches and also point on probabilistic attribute of the didactical regularities.

At last he demands that all  didactical directions and practical  propositions for the science teachers should be founded on results of  the scientific inquiries.
