This paper focuses on revealing and modeling the cognitive constructs of pre-service teachers regarding the characteristics of a good IT academician. The research was carried out via the exploratory sequential design with the participation of 42 volunteer pre-service teachers enrolled in the Department of Computer and Instructional Technology. The data were obtained through the structured interview according to the repertory grid technique. The data obtained were analysed by taking into consideration similarities and common features. 426 cognitive constructs were found. Cognitive constructs were collected under 11 sub-categories. These categories were also divided into three main categories: attitudes and values, professional knowledge, and professional skills. As a result, essential constructs within the model of a good academician include the relationship among students, knowledge of field education, and field knowledge. The model revealed a whole set of characteristics rather than a few characteristics of a good IT academician. The model can be used to evaluate IT academicians and to explain the relationship among their characteristics.

CONCEPTUAL METAPHORS: PHENOMENA OF THE MIND OR COGNITIVE CONSTRUCTS? PART II The author reviewed experimental studies of language metaphor, starting with the pioneer publication of Roman Jakobson from 1965. It has been shown that experimental studies confirm the postulates of G. Lakoff’s and M. Johnson’s cognitive theory of metaphor to varying degrees (more or less). The author also presents the results of a psycholinguistic experiment involving 280 respondents. The experiment based on the verbal-nominal constructions of the modern Polish language showed low consistency of answers, as well as the lack of arguments that the interpretation of metaphorical expressions (i.e. with the participation of polysemant) by respondents is not based on so-called conceptual metaphors.
