CROATIAN - WITH OR WITHOUT GRAMMAR / HRVATSKI - S GRAMATIKOM ILI BEZ NJE
Authors: Požgaj Hadži Vesna , Plešković Maša , Ćužić Tomislav
Published: August 2023

Summary Teaching Croatian as a foreign or second language still lacks a systematic theoretical and methodological approach to presenting grammatical content. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze noun morphology in beginner-level textbooks for Croatian as a foreign language in regard to a) the order of presentation and b) the didactic and methodological presentation of cases. The results of comparative analysis show that textbooks are moving toward the communicative approach. However, the structuralist approach has not yet been abandoned. The order of presentation of cases is no longer traditional. Rather, it is based on communicative needs. The differences in methodology (the presentation of grammar rules, grammatical overviews, the text and tasks interrelation, etc.) stem from the different concepts of the textbooks. The authors conclude that what lacks in teaching Croatian as a foreign or second language is a Threshold for Communication in Croatian as well as a concept on guidelines for future research at national level. Keywords: grammar, noun morphology, cases, textbook, Croatian as a foreign language ----- Sažetak Kako u hrvatskome kao stranom/drugom jeziku još uvijek ne postoji usustavljen teorijsko-metodološki pristup obradi gramatičkih sadržaja, cilj je rada analizirati imeničku morfologiju u udžbenicima hrvatskoga jezika kao stranoga namijenjenima početnomu stupnju učenja, i to s obzirom na: a) redoslijed obrade padeža i b) njihov didaktički/metodički prikaz. Rezultati komparativne analize pokazuju da je u udžbenicima uočljiv pomak prema komunikacijskome pristupu, ali strukturalistički pristup još uvijek nije prevladan. Što se redoslijeda padeža tiče, on se više ne pojavljuje prema tradicionalnome redoslijedu već proizlazi iz komunikacijskih datosti. Razlike se vide i u metodičkome instrumentariju (prikaz gramatičkih pravila, gramatički pregledi, odnos teksta i zadataka itd.) zbog različitih koncepcija pojedinih udžbenika. Zaključuje se da hrvatskome inojezičnome nedostaje Prag za sporazumijevanje na hrvatskome jeziku kao i koncept o smjernicama budućih istraživanja na nacionalnoj razini. Ključne riječi: gramatika, hrvatski jezik kao strani, imenička morfologija, padeži, udžbenik

GENDER-BASED PROGRESSION AND ACQUISITION OF GYMNASTIC SKILLS IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION / DINAMIKA UČENJA I IZVOĐENJA GIMNASTIČKIH ELEMENATA U TJELESNOJ I ZDRAVSTVENOJ KULTURI – RAZLIKE PO SPOLU
Authors: Delas Kalinski Suncica , Miletic Durdica , Bozanic Ana
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTGender differences in acquiring and retaining gymnastic skills in first graders were studied. Forty-four (44) girls and thirty-two (32) boys (mean age 6.5 years) participated as the experimental group. They were included in the 35-week-long program based on four gymnastic skills. Their performance was measured in three acquisition and two retention phases. The results showed that the girls performed better than the boys. The independent sample t-test showed significant gender differences in the majority of measurements. ANOVA for the retention phases revealed a positive learning transfer only in case of the candlestick element for the boys and in case of the cartwheel element for the girls. The differences found are not considered as a disturbing factor for the coeducational teaching method but just as the guidelines for the PE teachers when making their curricula more appropriate and individually approached.Key words: coeducational teaching, curriculum, motor learning, retention------SAŽETAK    Istraživane su razlike po spolu u dinamici učenja i retenciji gimnastičkih znanja na uzorku učenika prvog razreda osnovne škole. Eksperimentalnu grupu činilo je 44 učenice i 32 učenika koji su sudjelovali u tretmanu u trajanju od 35 tjedana, a koji je uključivao i četiri gimnastička znanja. Izvođenje tih znanja procjenjivano je u 3 faze učenja i 2 retencijske faze. Govoreći o usvajanju gimnastičkih znanja, rezultati su ukazali na bolje izvođenje djevojčica za razliku od dječaka. T test za nezavisne uzorke potvrdio je značajnu razliku između spolova u većini točaka provjeravanja. Rezultati ANOVA testa za retencijske točke provjeravanja ukazali su na pozitivan transfer učenja samo za element stava na lopaticama kod dječaka i premeta strance kod djevojčica. Pronađene razlike između spolova ne smatraju se remetećim faktorom za postojanje zajedničke metode poučavanja za oba spola, već primarno služe kao smjernice profesorima tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture za prilagođavanje nastavnog kurikuluma kako bi bio što prikladniji i usmjereniji na individualni pristup.    Ključne riječi: zajednička metoda poučavanja, kurikulum, motoričko učenje, retencija

REDEFINING THE EDUCATIONAL ROLE OF THE FAMILY / REDEFINIRANJE ODGOJNE ULOGE OBITELJI
Authors: Jurčević Lozančić Anka
Published: August 2023

SUMMARYIndustrialization, the new concept of society, the recognition of human and citizen rights, have created a new social order and the concept of humanization. The consumer society suggests and requires new values, new relationships among people, new concept of time and space. The relationship between consumption and production, profit gain and acquisition of material goods lessens human spontaneity, the need to relax with one's family and friends, to give in to emotions, to research spirituality and to construct a quality relationship with oneself and others. In this context it is necessary to consider questions regarding the child, the family and its changed role. Education of children in modern living conditions needs to be viewed as a process, a role in the interaction with the entire social environment. With the intention of raising their child, parents do not apply pedagogical knowledge which is sufficiently modern (Maleš i Kušević, 2011). Moreover, uncertainties regarding parent rights and responsibilities are also present. Questions pertaining to parents and their competency for the role of mother and father become increasingly important. In this paper an overview of modern scientific knowledge which examines basic family values, relevant to education and child rearing in the context of modern society, is given.  Key words: parenthood, education, child, modern society-----SAŽETAK Industrijalizacija, nova koncepcija društva, prepoznavanje prava čovjeka i građanina stvorile su novi društveni poredak i koncept humanizacije. Potrošačko društvo predlaže i nalaže nove vrijednosti, nove međuljudske odnose, novu koncepciju vremena i prostora. Odnos potrošnje i proizvodnje, stjecanje profita i materijalnih dobara umanjuje čovjekovu spontanost, smanjuje vrijeme koje bi trebao provoditi s obitelji, prijateljima, za prepuštanje emocijama, za istraživanje duhovnosti i izgradnju kvalitetnijeg odnosa prema sebi i drugima. U skladu s navedenim, mnoge promjene i načini shvaćanja postmodernističkog društva odražavaju se i na obitelj, na njezin identitet i definiciju njezine uloge u odnosu na pojedinca i društvo. Odgoj djece u suvremenim uvjetima života potrebno je promatrati kao suptilan proces, ulogu u interakciji s cjelokupnim društvenim okruženjem kojeg determiniraju stalne promjene. Mnogi roditelji u namjeri da odgajaju svoju djecu ne primjenjuju suvremene pedagogijske spoznaje što je posljedica njihove slabe informiranosti (Maleš i Kušević, 2011). Dakako, prisutne su i nejasnoće o roditeljskim pravima i odgovornostima. Pitanja koja se odnose na roditelje i koliko su kompetentni za uloge majke i oca postaju sve aktualnija. U ovome radu daje se prikaz suvremenih znanstvenih spoznaja koje propituju temeljne obiteljske vrijednosti koje su relevantne za odgoj i podizanje djeteta u kontekstu suvremenog društva. Ključne riječi: roditeljstvo, odgoj, dijete, suvremeno društvo

Published: August 2023

Abstract Simulation and simulated environment are more and more exploited in these days. During the process of simulation we experiment with computer model which has to represent as accurate view of given system as possible to ensure the maximum relevance of acquired information. We simulate the states in dependence on specific conditions that can in military be e.g. time, environment, selected technology and its facilities and lot of others. This work is focused especially on input value of tactical simulators which is always represented by the decision process, respectively the decision of commander. The issue has the form of valuable decision to which its complete analysis has to precede. During this process the possible consequences and impacts are recognized so that the result could be used in real world. The work solves the synergy between simulation environment and the analysis of decision process of commander. It adds to the simulator problems one more evaluating element which could be beneficial not only in military. It appreciably increases the usage importance of one of the main advantages of simulators which is so-called „what-if“ analyse. The decision element can exercise in many areas of human activity because the process of decision evaluation itself can be analysed in agreement with different criteria. Furthermore the work contains several specifications that refer to interoperability among simulators and it discusses standards, which ensures this communication and data exchange.

Authors: Gezgin Deniz , Buluş Ercan
Published: August 2023

Abstract Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), is a network structure which is used primarily for establishing connections between servers, printers and other endpoint devices found within smaller scale areas, such as a building or a group of buildings. These structures offer the superior advantages of shared access for applications and devices, means of file-transfer and electronic mail communication to users found within areas which include cafeterias, dormitories or miscellaneous intra-campus applications. The use of WLAN applications has become increasingly common with the integration of these structures into wired networks -especially with intra-campus wired infrastructures- and of new wireless devices that support high-speed communication, thanks to the introduction of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11n standard. In this paper the network infrastructure of T.Ü. Mehmet Akif Ersoy Lecture Center -and the established WLAN structure therein- shall be discussed. Experiences and examples obtained from this application will be given along with samples from wireless security policies employed. Keywords: 802.11n, WLAN, Wireless Security, Repeater, Metro Ethernet, WLAN Design.

Authors: Hruby Miroslav
Published: August 2023

Abstract The high quality electronic tests and self tests should be an indispensable part of contemporary study materials. The described theory says that the items of electronic tests and self-tests are the electronic questions and then, every electronic question is generated from so called question object. Each question object belongs to one of the defined types. The highest element of the hierarchy is a universal question object. The main goal of the paper is to introduce a prepared formal description which should be independent of existing software. The author tries to solve the possible gap between the needs of education and the offer of various types of available software. Last part of the text brings an example of question object creation and settings in ToolBook II Instructor software. Keywords: electronic question, electronic test, question object, self-test, education.

Abstract The goal of the paper is to briefly describe the theory and verify the technical feasibility of the impedance matching circuit as a part of the modular system of plasma jets. The goal of the research was the design, simulation and resulting construction of the whole system with a suitable radio frequency generator operating at frequency 13.56 MHz and with such output power which could be used for generating plasma on a principle of high-pressure hollow cathode with a stream of plasma (the plasma pencil). Crucial and innovative point was also the measurement of the impedance of the discharge in plasma jet and the following design of the matching circuit between the output impedance of the generator and the impedance of plasma jet (group of jets). Basic idea of such modular system is shown and also two types of possible configurations are discussed. Keywords: Matching Circuit, Plasma Discharge, Plasma Jet, Plasma Pencil, RF Generator.
Knowledge Management – Decision Making Support in Project Environment
Authors: Pitaš Jaromir , Štofko Hubert
Published: August 2023

Abstract A feature typical for project environment is uncertainty resulting from risks, changes and a unique procedure of the project implementation. The managers in such environment fairly often encounter unstructured problems that, when knowledge management is applied, can be transformed into structured problems. A correct conception of knowledge management in an organization and setting up the individual processes, which are carried out within project management, help to reduce uncertainty. In another case, it helps management in increasing the success probability while defining opportunities / threats, and thus also when selecting a project. Knowledge management helps the project team to identify the risks that might threaten the project objective. Knowledge management is a tool for fairly fast and convenient attainment of project’s success. Keywords: Knowledge management, project management, process, stakeholder, project team.

GLOBAL LEARNING OR EDUCATION: A CHALLENGE TO CONTEMPORARY GEOGRAPHY TEACHING / GLOBALNO UČENJE ILI OBRAZOVANJE: IZAZOV ZA SUVREMENU NASTAVU GEOGRAFIJE
Authors: Braičić Zdenko
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT    Global learning (global education) is seen as a didactic response to different aspects of globalization in all spheres of life. Since global learning requires an interdisciplinary concept of the curriculum, its basic ideas are incorporated in the syllabi of different school subjects. The paper discusses in detail the possibilities of their realization in geography teaching. The emphasis is placed on defining the aims and objectives of geography teaching, incorporating new subject matter into the syllabus, as well as new learning methods and models.    The second section of this paper analyses and compares the attitudes of geography teachers and secondary school pupils at “Gimnazija Sisak” towards the phenomenon of globalisation, which is taught in geography classes. The results have shown that both groups of respondents are familiar with the contemporary features of globalisation as well as its advantages and disadvantages. It has been observed that pupils' view of globalisation is fundamentally more positive than that of the teachers.    Key words: globalisation, geography teaching aims, learning models, pupils' and geography teachers' attitudes  -----SAŽETAKGlobalno učenje (globalno obrazovanje) predstavlja pedagoški odgovor na različite aspekte globalizacije u svim životnim sferama. Budući da koncept globalnog učenja zahtijeva interdisciplinarnu koncepciju kurikula, njegove se osnovne ideje ugrađuju u planove i programe različitih nastavnih predmeta. U radu se detaljnije raspravlja o mogućnostima njihova ostvarivanja u nastavi geografije. Naglasak je stavljen na određivanje ciljeva i zadaća nastave geografije, ugrađivanje novih sadržaja u nastavni plan i program, kao i nove metode i modele učenja.U drugom dijelu rada analiziraju se i uspoređuju stavovi učitelja geografije i učenika Gimnazije Sisak o fenomenu globalizacije koji se poučava u nastavi geografije. Rezultati su pokazali da su obje skupine ispitanika upoznate sa suvremenim značajkama globalizacije i njezinim pozitivnim i negativnim stranama. Uočeno je da učenici u osnovi pozitivnije doživljavaju globalizaciju negoli učitelji.Ključne riječi: globalizacija, zadaće nastave geografije, modeli učenja, stavovi učenika i učitelja geografije

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine the level of physical activity in adolescent girls and differences in their physical activity with respect to birth year, nutrition level and secondary school type. The level of physical activity was measured by the Fels physical activity questionnaire for children. The results indicate that there are only 33% of physically active adolescent girls in this population. The results show significant differences in the level of physical activity with respect to birth year (p<0.001), nutrition level (p<0.01) and secondary school type (p<0.01). It can be concluded that the general level of physical activity is very low and that the level of physical activity in adolescent girls can be classified by birth year, nutrition level and secondary school type. When planning to increase the level of physical activity in population, some special attention should be paid to girls in vocational schools and those with excessive body weight. Key words: adolescent girls, differences, physical activity-----SAŽETAK Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi razinu tjelesne aktivnosti kod djevojaka adolescentske dobi i razlike u tjelesnoj aktivnosti s obzirom na godinu rođenja, stupanj uhranjenosti i vrstu srednje škole. Razina tjelesne aktivnosti procijenjena je Felsovim upitnikom o tjelesnoj aktivnosti kod djece. Rezultati ukazuju kako je u ovoj populaciji svega 33% tjelesno aktivnih adolescentica. Dobivene su značajne razlike u razini tjelesne aktivnosti s obzirom na godinu rođenja (p<0.001), stupanj uhranjenosti (p<0.01) i vrstu srednje škole (p<0.01). Može se zaključiti da je opća razina tjelesne aktivnosti vrlo niska te da se prema godini rođenja, stupnju uhranjenosti i vrsti srednje škole mogu razvrstati djevojke adolescentske dobi u odnosu na razinu tjelesne aktivnosti. U planiranju povećanja razine tjelesne aktivnosti u populaciji posebnu pažnju treba usmjeriti ka učenicama strukovnih škola i onima s prekomjernom tjelesnom masom.

ABSTRACTThe aim of the paper is to compare and evaluate the probability-related misconceptions of pupils at different education levels. A cross-sectional/age study was thus conducted with 540 pupils in 5th-8th grades. An instrument, comprising six questions on the concepts of compound events, probability of an event and probability comparisons, was used. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques (SPSS 15.0) and the chi-square test. This study showed that the percentage of correct answers increased when the level of education increased, whereas the misconceptions about the concept of compound events I decreased; also, the percentage of correct answers decreased and the misconceptions about the concept of compound events II increased. In the questions related to the concept of probability of an event and probability comparisons, as the level of education increased both the percentage of correct answers and the misconceptions increased. Therefore, it can be suggested that pupils’ misconceptions regarding probability concepts vary, which depends on the characteristics of such concepts and pupils' age and education level.Key words: mathematics education, primary school pupils, probability, misconceptions, cross-age study-----SAŽETAKCilj ovoga rada je usporediti i vrednovati pogrešne predodžbe koje učenici na različitim obrazovnim razinama imaju kada je riječ o konceptima vjerojatnosti. Provedeno je stoga istraživanje na uzorku od 540 učenika od petog do osmog razreda. Korišten je instrument sa šest pitanja o konceptima složenih događaja, vjerojatnosti nekog događaja i usporedbama vjerojatnosti. Podaci su analizirani uz primjenu metoda deskriptivne statistike (SPSS 15.0) i hi-kvadrat testa. Istraživanje je pokazalo da se s povećanjem obrazovne razine povećava broj točnih odgovora, a smanjuje broj pogrešnih predodžbi o konceptu složenih događaja I, dok se smanjuje  postotak točnih odgovora, a povećava broj pogrešnih predodžbi o konceptu složenih događaja II. Kada je riječ o pitanjima koja se odnose na koncepte vjerojatnosti nekog događaja i usporedbe vjerojatnosti, s povećanjem obrazovne razine dolazi do povećanja i postotka točnih odgovora i pogrešnih predodžbi. Ukratko, može se zaključiti da pogrešne predodžbe učenika o konceptu vjerojatnosti variraju ovisno o karakteristikama tih koncepata kao i učenikovoj dobi, odnosno obrazovnoj razini.

ABSTRACTThis study evaluated physical education knowledge according to gender, secondary school programme, year of study and type of knowledge. The results of multivariate analysis of variance show that the programme of study had the highest impact (20.2% of the variance) on both dependent variables (conceptual and specific knowledge), the impact of gender was about half as high (11.7% of the variance), whereas the impact of the year of study was much lower (3.5% of the variance). The students from grammar school programmes had more knowledge than students from the other two secondary school programmes. Males scored higher than females, especially on specific knowledge. In technical and vocational programmes, there is no impact of the year of study on the knowledge exhibited by female students. As a result, physical education teachers should have more knowledge and skills in order to educate students about health-related physical fitness. They will need to acquire special didactic competences, particularly when teaching girls in technical and vocational secondary schools.Key words: gender, physical education knowledge, secondary school.-----SAŽETAKOvo istraživanje ispitalo je znanje tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture prema spolu, srednjoškolskom obrazovnom programu, godini učenja i vrsti znanja. Rezultati multivarijatne analize varijanci pokazali su da je obrazovni program imao najveći utjecaj (20,2 % varijance) na obje zavisne varijable (konceptualno i specifično znanje), utjecaj spola bio je jednako značajan (11,7% varijance), dok je utjecaj godine učenja bio prilično slabiji (3,5% varijance). Učenici koji pohađaju gimnazijske obrazovne programe imali su veće znanje od učenika iz druga dva srednjoškolska obrazovna programa. Muški učenici imali su bolje rezultate od učenica, posebno u specifičnim znanjima. U tehničkim i strukovnim obrazovnim programima nije primijećen utjecaj razreda kojega učenice pohađaju na znanje koje su pokazale. Shodno tomu, nastavnici tjelesne kulture trebali bi imati više znanja i vještina da bi obrazovali učenike o učinku tjelesne spreme na zdravlje. Oni će morati usvojiti posebne didaktičke kompetencije, pogotovo kada poučavaju učenice u tehničkim i strukovnim srednjim školama. Ključne riječi: spol, znanje tjelesne kulture, srednja škola.

Abstract This study investigated the effects of group learning and gender differences in mathematical performance in co-educational schools. A total of 88 students in grade 9 in Natore, Bangladesh participated in the study. The research design employed for this study was a quasi-experimental equivalent control group with pre- and post-test design. The experimental group (n=44) underwent the group learning mode whilst in the control group (n=44), the conventional mode of learning was applied for 15 weeks. The independent-samples t-test and MANOVA with repeated measures were used to analyze the data. The results showed a significant effect of group learning, and a significant gender difference in mathematical performance. The findings revealed that the experimental group students outperformed the control group students, and both male and female students in the experimental group improved their mathematical performance with the performance of female students being better than that of male students after group learning integration. Hence, it can be concluded that group learning enhanced mathematics performance for female students while the male counterparts did not benefit as much as the female group. Therefore, group learning may be an approach that can be professionally incorporated to develop female students' performance in Bangladesh. Key words: Co-educational schools; 9th grade student; mathematics performance.---Sažetak Ovo istraživanje imalo je za cilj proučiti učinke grupnoga rada i rodnih razlika na matematička dostignuća u rodno mješovitim školama. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo ukupno 88 učenika devetog razreda iz Natorea u Bangladešu. Koristila se metoda polueksperimentalne istovjetne kontrolne grupe s testom prije i poslije. Eksperimentalna grupa (n=44) bila je podvrgnuta grupnom radu, dok je kontrolna grupa (n=44) bila podvrgnuta konvencionalnim načinima učenja u trajanju od 15 tjedana. Nezavisni t-test i MANOVA analiza s ponovljenim mjerenjima korišteni su za obrađivanje podataka. Rezultati pokazuju značajne učinke grupnoga rada i značajne rodne razlike u matematičkim dostignućima. Nalazi otkrivaju da je eksperimentalna grupa učenika nadmašila kontrolnu grupu učenika, a učenici i učenice u eksperimentalnoj grupi poboljšali su svoja matematička dostignuća s tim da su učenice imale bolje rezultate od učenika nakon uvođenja grupnoga rada. Zaključak ovog istraživanja je da grupni rad poboljšava matematička dostignuća za učenice, dok učenici ne profitiraju toliko kao učenice. Iz toga slijedi da bi grupni rad mogao biti pristup koji se može profesionalno uključiti da bi se poboljšali dosezi učenica u Bangladešu.  Ključne riječi: matematika, rodno-mješovite škole, grupno učenje, učenici devetog razreda, rod, matematički dosezi.
The Teacher – A Reflective Researcher of the Teaching Practice / Učitelj – refleksivni istraživač u praksi
Authors: Bandjur Veljko , Maksimović Jelena
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe needs of modern society set before teachers some new requirements with regard to the teacher's changed role. Teachers are ceasing to be agents transferring knowledge and are becoming persons who diagnose and organize the research process. As a starting point in the discussion, we have analyzed the correlation between the methodological training of teachers in the model of the reflective practitioner and in the model of educating the teacher - researcher. Likewise, the paper has analyzed teachers' positions on knowledge, skills and potentials needed for the study and promotion of educational practice, viewed against: the length of professional service, the knowledge and use of a foreign language, the school environment, the length of undergraduate study and the grade point average during this study. The goal of the research is to initiate practical changes which would bring about expected results in terms of promoting educational practice. The research pooled 390 Serbian primary school teachers. The results have shown that knowledge of the methodology of pedagogical research (construction and use of instruments, project and research implementation) is perceived as most indispensable for the promotion of educational practice (p<0.001).Key words: methodology education; reflective practitioner; teacher researcher; teacher training.---Sažetak Potrebe suvremenoga društva pred učitelje postavljaju neke nove zahtjeve s obzirom na promijenjenu ulogu učitelja. Učitelji prestaju biti prenositelji znanja i postaju dijagnostičari i organizatori procesa istraživanja. Kao polazna točka u raspravi analiziran je odnos između metodičkoga obrazovanja učitelja u modelu refleksivnog praktičara i u modelu izobrazbe učitelja - istraživača. U radu su također analizirani i stavovi učitelja o znanju, vještinama i mogućnostima potrebnima za proučavanje i razvoj odgojno-obrazovne prakse s obzirom na: godine rada u struci, znanje i korištenje stranoga jezika, školsku sredinu, duljinu dodiplomskog studija i prosjek ocjena tijekom studiranja. Cilj istraživanja je potaknuti praktične promjene koje bi dovele do očekivanih rezultata u smislu poboljšanja obrazovno-odgojne prakse. Istraživanje je obuhvatilo 390 učitelja u osnovnim školama u Srbiji. Rezultati su pokazali da se znanje o metodama pedagoškog istraživanja (izrada i korištenje instrumenata, provođenje projekata i istraživanja) smatra neophodnim za razvoj i unapređenje odgojno-obrazovne prakse (p<0.001).

Psychosocial Aspect, Frequency and Intercorrelation of Students` Health Risk Behaviours / Psihosocijalni aspekt, čestotnost i međupovezanost rizičnih zdravstvenih ponašanja studenata
Authors: Marić Mia , Šumonja Sanja
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe aim of this study was to determine the frequency and intercorrelation of health risk behaviours and their relationship with personal and social factors. The sample consisted of 268 students from the Faculty of Education in Vojvodina. The data was collected by means of the Health Risk Behavior Scale, the inventory “Big Five” and questions about the sources of information and health behaviour models. The most frequent health risk behaviour among students was alcohol consumption. Certain health risk behaviours were rather frequent among boys, younger students and students from urban environments. Students who thought that their family and friends took care of their health did not portray many risk behaviours related to diet. Extraverted students had a greater tendency to use illegal substances and students with low agreeableness were more prone to risky sexual behaviours. Students with low levels of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness were less physically active. There is an evident need to monitor health risk behaviours among students and take the appropriate preventive measures.Key words: health; personality; social factors; youth.---SažetakCilj ovoga istraživanja bio je utvrditi čestotnost i međupovezanost rizičnih zdravstvenih ponašanja i njihovu povezanost s osobnim i društvenim čimbenicima. Uzorak se sastojao od 268 studenata s Učiteljskog fakulteta u Vojvodini. Podatci su prikupljeni uz pomoć Health Risk Behavior skale, inventara “Big Five” i pitanja o izvorima informacija o modelima zdravstvenog ponašanja. Najčešći oblik rizičnog zdravstvenog ponašanja među studentskom populacijom bila je konzumacija alkohola. Određena rizična zdravstvena ponašanja bila su prilično česta među mladićima, mlađim studentima i studentima iz urbanih sredina. Studenti koji su smatrali da se članovi njihove obitelji i prijatelji brinu za svoje zdravlje, nisu pokazivali puno rizičnih zdravstvenih ponašanja vezanih uz prehranu. Ekstrovertirani studenti imali su veću tendenciju upotrebi ilegalnih supstanci, a studenti s niskim stupnjem ugodnosti bili su skloniji rizičnim spolnim ponašanjima. Studenti s niskim razinama ekstrovertnosti, savjesnosti i otvorenosti bili su i manje tjelesno aktivni. Vidljiva je potreba za praćenjem rizičnih zdravstvenih ponašanja među studentima i za poduzimanjem primjerenih preventivnih mjera.Ključne riječi: zdravlje; osobnost; društveni čimbenici; mladi
What Kind of History-Related Knowledge Do Primary School Teachers Expect Their Pupils to Show? / Kakvo znanje o prošlosti učitelji traže od svojih učenika?
Authors: Blagdanić Sanja , Kovačević Zorica
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis study was undertaken with the aim to identify the kind of knowledge which primary school teachers in Serbia expect their pupils to show related to the elements of history within the subject Social Environmental and Scientific Education (SESE). The data were acquired by analyzing the pedagogical documentation (373 tasks devised by teachers) and by observing 46 SESE classes devoted to elements of history. The findings show that no matter which technique of testing pupils' knowledge is applied, there is a notable predominance of demands on historical facts, rather than other forms of historical thinking, which appear only sporadically. Key words: elements of history; historical thinking; SESE (Social Environmental and Scientific Education); testing knowledge.---SažetakVrednovanje učeničkih znanja o povijesnim sadržajima utemeljeno na razvoju povijesnoga mišljenja pomiče fokus s učenja činjenica na ovladavanje proceduralnim znanjima. U suvremenim pristupima tim sadržajima učenje povijesnih činjenica samo je prvi korak u ostvarivanju znatno kompleksnijih ciljeva koji predstavljaju različite segmente povijesnoga mišljenja: ovladavanje vremenskim kategorijama i odnosima, razumijevanje uzročno-posljedičnih veza i povijesnoga konteksta, analizu povijesnih izvora i sl. U ovome su radu prikazani rezultati empirijskog istraživanja koje je provedeno s ciljem sagledavanja zahtjeva koje učitelji u Srbiji postavljaju pred učenike prilikom provjeravanja njihovih znanja o povijesnim sadržajima u nastavi Prirode i društva. Podaci su prikupljeni analizom pedagoške dokumentacije (373 zadatka koje se konstruirali učitelji) i promatranjem 46 sati Prirode i društva na kojima su realizirani povijesni sadržaji. Rezultati do kojih se došlo upućuju, bez obzira o kojoj tehnici provjeravanja znanja je riječ, na uvjerljivu dominaciju zahtjeva koji se odnose na znanje povijesnih činjenica, dok se ostale kategorije povijesnoga mišljenja tek mjestimično pojavljuju.Ključne riječi: povijesno mišljenje; povijesni sadržaj; Priroda i društvo; provjeravanje znanja
