TUTORING SYMPOSIUM at the University of Wrocław
Second edition of the University Tutoring Symposium in Wrocław
PROCESS
Tutoring is a process based on mutual cooperation and commitment – a process that requires time and adequate reserves of energy. A process that requires proper preparation.
There is no textbook version of tutoring, the Tutoring Academy does not give ready-made solutions, but offers tools to develop concrete solutions.
PROGRAMME of this year’s edition of the Tutoring Symposium at the University of Wrocław
Developing, acquiring knowledge and skills, defining values and priorities, setting goals and making decisions and taking responsibility for them requires coaching and support from both tutor and tutor. Tutoring is a challenge for long-distance runners. The question arises whether everyone can run this marathon. This and many other topics will be touched upon in his lecture during this year’s edition of the TUTORING SYMPOSIUM at the University of Wrocław by prof. Jerzy Andrzej Żołądź – tutor and co-creator of Adam Małysz’s success, an expert in exercise physiology, sport and human adaptation to physical exertion.
Good and effective communication, a clear message is the key to successful collaboration in tutoring and at the same time the biggest challenge. Socio-communicative and organisational competences are extremely important in this relationship. Mr Paweł Jaskólski – master of archaeology, passionate about Teutonic castles and populariser of science – will prove that science can be communicated effectively. During the workshop entitled ‘Simple experiments in science communication and tutoring’, participants will have the opportunity to reflect on this:
- how simplifications affect the understanding of complex issues in science education and popularisation
- whether simplifications are the key to understanding or a trap that leads to misrepresentations and wrong conclusions,
- what tools and experiments enable easier navigation in the world of science.
TIMETABLE for the Tutoring Symposium:
When: 17 October 2024 (Thursday)

BIOGRAMS
Prof. Andrzej Żołądź – Head of the Department of Exercise Physiology and Muscle Bioenergetics, Faculty of Health Sciences, Jagiellonian University Medical College. His scientific interests revolve around issues of exercise physiology, physiology of sport, with particular emphasis on muscle energetics, causes of muscle fatigue and adaptation of the human body to physical effort. He obtained his doctoral degree at the Academy of Physical Education in Krakow and the Frije Universiteit Amsterdam (the Netherlands). He has completed a number of internships abroad, including at Maastricht University (Netherlands), Frije Universiteit Amsterdam (Netherlands), Copenhagen University (Denmark), University College London (UK), Odense University (Denmark) and the Institute of Bioimaging and Molecular Physiology, Consiglio Nationale delle Ricerche, Milano, (Italy). He is the author of more than 100 scientific articles. For three years he worked with a 60-member team of world experts on the textbook Muscle and Exercise Physiology, presenting the greatest scientific achievements in the field of muscle and exercise physiology. Published by Academic Press, Elsevier, London, this textbook is distributed to all major universities worldwide. He is a full member of The Physiological Society (London). Co-author of the success of Adam Malysz.
Mgr Paweł Jaskólski – is an archaeologist by profession, dealing mainly with experimental archaeology, archaeozoology and Teutonic castles. Science populariser by profession.
