Authors: Župić Ajdina , Hodžić Hana , Sušić Merjem
Published: January 2024

The main goal of this paper is to point out the concept of creativity in teaching, specifically creativity in the teaching of Nature and Society. Nature and society, as a subject, provide many opportunities to express the creativity that we carry within us through the role of a teacher, as well as to teach students how to be creative. The paper highlights examples of different teaching units that indicate ways to encourage creativity in students and awaken their imagination. Through teaching, through tasks that the teacher creatively devises, we encourage students to think creatively and act, in addition to acquiring knowledge more permanently and functionally. Possibilities of creating Nature and Society lessons through creative examples and experiments, as well as evaluating and measuring creativity, were presented. The work results indicated that creative teachers create their fruits, which are called creative students, that they are causally connected, and that creativity is a synonym for an expert and professional teacher.

Published: January 2024

This work aims to examine the relationship between general self-regulated learning abilities and students' general intellectual abilities, mathematical learning abilities, and academic achievement. A study was conducted with a sample of eighth-grade students (N=325). The research employed a survey and descriptive method, and the instruments used included a test of general intellectual abilities, a test of self-regulated learning abilities, a test to measure mathematical learning abilities, and a standardized math knowledge test. Based on the obtained results, we indicate those factors with high or moderately high correlations. Among the results obtained, there is a high correlation between general intellectual abilities and general self-regulated learning abilities (subtests for interpreting graphs and interpreting geographic maps). The results show a high correlation between the total score on the self-regulated learning abilities test and math achievement. A moderately high correlation was achieved between the test of general intellectual abilities and self-regulated learning abilities (subtests for finding necessary information, exploring new material, and the index of developed abilities and techniques for self-regulated learning). On the math learning ability test, various abilities are differentiated, including formalization of mathematical content, spatial abilities, imagination, flexibility, and critical thinking. Based on the research results, it is considered significant to investigate the effects of different innovative teaching systems and teaching methods on students' self-regulated learning abilities and mathematical learning abilities.

Authors: Šabić Indira
Published: January 2024

The article studies oikonyms of Bosnia and Herzegovina, formed from zoomorphic motifs. The relationship between the oikonym and the zoonym is discussed. How animal terms perform the function of place names has been demonstrated with examples. In the main part of the paper, the author presented the semantic types of zooikonyms. The approach includes the formation and etymology information. Accordingly, the largest number of zooikonyms are of Slavic origin while only one is Greek, which only underlines the theses of the Slavic naming continuum in terms of place naming. It is concluded that the study of zooikonyms is important for determining the region's fauna and the relationship between man and nature.
Application of Active Learning Strategies with a Focus on Inquiry-Based Learning – Teachers' Self-Assessment
Authors: Skomorac-Pezer Safija , Rustempašić Sanela Merjem
Published: January 2024

Inquiry-based learning is an active, student-oriented process based on the student's experience and curiosity. With the teacher's help, the student investigates a specific problem and through further individual work, comes to knowledge. The conducted research aimed to examine the self-assessment of classroom teachers about Inquiry-based learning, their competencies, and education for its application, and to examine the teachers' perception of the benefits and detriments. The results of the research showed that the surveyed teachers are fully aware of the benefits of applying Inquiry-based learning, but have very little or no experience in working with this method. One of the biggest reasons is the lack of education for the application of the mentioned method. The demands placed on teachers are often out of proportion to the conditions in which they work.
Philosophy, Education and Teaching: From Antique to Dewey and Modern Times
Authors: Musa Martina , Jovanović Ivana , Šimunović Renata
Published: January 2024

Education is a basic human category and need. Man is born without any knowledge and experience, and in the process of upbringing and education, he needs to realize himself as an autonomous being. Therefore, it is the task of participants and creators of educational policies to provide methods to achieve this goal. Also, it is necessary to provide a competent teacher who will be able to ensure the fulfillment of educational intentions. Education is dealt with by philosophy and pedagogy. Pedagogy deals with specific issues related to education, and philosophy, within the framework of the philosophy of education, deals with phenomena related to education and educational practice, approaching holistically. In this paper, we will present certain educational attitudes from antiquity, the pragmatist theory of J. Dewey, and indicate which competencies a teacher should possess in modern teaching.
The Other Side of Love: Tactics of Emotional Manipulation in Romantic Relationships
Authors: Salihagić Danina , Tuce Đenita
Published: January 2024

Emotional manipulation in romantic relationships is a subtle form of controlling a partner through emotional pressure, inducing feelings of guilt, blackmail, ignoring, passive-aggressive behaviors, and other manipulative tactics. However, it is often invisible, elusive, and difficult to prove, which additionally makes this form of abuse highly dangerous. Emotional manipulation can have serious consequences on an individual's mental health, including increased levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also lead to reduced self-confidence, feelings of helplessness, and a loss of control over one's own life. To raise awareness about the harmful effects of emotional manipulation, both for the quality of the romantic relationship, and for the mental health of the individual, this paper presents scientifically-based information on this construct, and describes some of the most common tactics of emotional manipulation, which are used in romantic relationships. Through scientific and professional discussions and education, society can become better informed about emotional manipulation, and create an environment in which victims feel safe to express their issues and seek help.
Tetrad of Media Effects and Social Networking Sites/Services
Authors: Silajdžić Lamija
Published: January 2024

By asking the question: "What general, testable claims can be made about all media?", Marshall and Eric McLuhan (1988) sought to establish "laws of media" that could be tested, proven, or disproved by anyone, anywhere, anytime. They formulated these "laws" through four questions that can be asked upon the appearance of or regarding any human artifact/technology/media. The importance of this theory is indisputable insofar as its application can identify past, current, and at least partially predict future trends related to some human artifact/technology/media. In this paper we applied this theory to the websites/services for social networking, considering the increasingly widespread and intensive use of these sites/services in the world. Positive aspects are improved and accelerated communication and connection of people, opportunities for creative expression, association and struggle for common goals, and also earnings. The negative aspects range from a potentially bad impact on the user's mental health, pathological addiction, the increasingly difficult distinction between the real and virtual world, being trapped by filter bubbles, all the way to endangering personal data and security.
The Symbolic Language of Film of Post-Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Cultural Memory of War Trauma – Analysis of the Films Quo Vadis Aida? and In the Land of Blood and Honey
Authors: Komarica Tahani
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to show the impact on the creation of cultural memory in which film, as an element of prosthetic memory, is one of the significant mass media forms of the artistic framework, easily accessible and viral convergent digital environment through the analyzes two films In the Land of Blood and Honey and Quo Vadis, Aida? produces in post-Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina, which treat the most severe war traumas of raped Bosnian women and genocide against Bosniaks that occurred during aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period 1992-1995. The analysis of these two films was done according to the concept of Astrid Erll which includes three categories of communication: intra–medial (experiential, mythical, antagonistic, and reflexive), inter-medial (premediation and remediation), and pluri-medial communication creating context for film reception as social-integrative collective phenomenon. The results of the analyses of films show that pluri-medial communication is not fully realized for the constructing and stabilizing the historical narrative as a social integrative phenomenon, and the film as a fictional prosthetic memory is not realized as a cultural memory of war traumas of Bosnian society. The film as a platform of prosthetic memory in the digital age has the potential to bypass rigid, censored, and propaganda of pluri-medial communication emphasized in the mass media of Bosnian entity Republikof Srpska as well as Serbia which disables and limits the context of reception of social-integrative collective phenomenon of war traumas based on historical facts.
Representation of Video Calls as Media Innovations in the News Programs of Television Stations in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Dautović Miralem
Published: January 2024

The measures introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic have thoroughly changed the previous ways of operation of television stations, especially in journalistic practices of live production and coverage of public significant events. In the altered working conditions, television stations have increasingly turned to the use of video conferencing applications and platforms, such as Skype, Zoom, WhatsUp, and similar services, facilitated by the digital media ecosystem. Covid-19 has acted as a catalyst for changes in the sphere of television technology, production, work routines, and content. However, until now, it has not been studied to what extent the changes induced by the pandemic have truly been accepted, retained, and modified after the cessation of Covid-19-related measures. To fill gaps in scientific knowledge, the task of this study was to examine the presence and use of video calls in informational programs of television stations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the implications of these innovative practices on the content, form, and value of television news. The content analysis method was used for central informational programs of public broadcasters and private stations. The results show the acceptance of innovations but also significant variations in exploiting the potential of this technology. The work contributes to a better understanding of the process of innovation diffusion in the newsrooms of television stations in transitional media systems.
Interplay between Media and Player Engagement: A Study of Media’s Effect on the World of Warcraft Gaming Experience
Authors: Vukojević Borislav , Španović Miloš
Published: January 2024

In the dynamic realm of online gaming, sustaining player engagement and immersion within a virtual environment is paramount for both the player community and game developers. World of Warcraft (WoW), a prominent massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), has experienced considerable evolution since its inception in 2004. As gaming technologies advance and player expectations shift, a variety of media platforms, such as forums, social networks, and streaming services, have surfaced, playing a pivotal role in augmenting the WoW gaming experience. This study delves into the impact of different versions of WoW on the players' content experience, focusing on how these media platforms influence player engagement, communication strategies, and problem-solving approaches. Employing qualitative research methods, particularly in-depth interviews, this paper weaves a comprehensive narrative that sheds light on the intersection of technological evolution and gaming experiences. Our findings indicate that the specific version of WoW plays a critical role in shaping player interactions and problem-solving methods. The Classic WoW iteration fosters a sense of community and interaction, necessitating collaboration and the use of external resources. In contrast, Modern WoW has streamlined gameplay mechanics, thereby reducing the emphasis on collaborative efforts and the role of community within the game. This research underscores the fluid nature of social dynamics within the game, evolving in response to the changing preferences and expectations of the player base.
Possibilities and Obstacles of Police Digital Communication with Citizens and the Community
Authors: Radić Ivana
Published: January 2024

Communication via digital communication channels has been present in police work for a long time. In the period between 2010 and 2014, the European Commission financed a scientific research project to understand organizational changes in the police in different European countries, including changes related to the introduction of new information and communication technologies into police practice. That research showed that the police use social media to detect crimes and their perpetrators and establish quality relations with citizens and the community. As a follow-up to that study, this qualitative research aims to identify the possibilities and obstacles of police digital communication with citizens and the community to achieve a relationship of cooperation and trust between the police and the community. Four focus groups were conducted in two police administrations in eastern Croatia. The research was conducted on a sample of 40 participants, mostly officers of the regular police, including community policing officers, and the rest are criminal police officers dealing with general criminal matters. The obtained results show, just like the results of numerous foreign studies, that such an approach can be effective in providing transparency of police work and increasing trust between the police and citizens, but with adaptation of the selection of channels and content of communication to the target audience.
Urban Security Measures: Are Citizens Sufficiently Informed about and Satisfied with Them?
Authors: Pavičić Vukičević Jelena , Dunaj Ana Marija , Cajner Mraović Irena
Published: January 2024

The aim of this paper is to examine how citizens of the City of Zagreb perceive urban security measures, such as cameras, video surveillance, applications for reporting problems to city services and the police, and how they perceive informing citizens about possible self-protective behaviour and security on the official website of the City of Zagreb and about actions to be taken in crisis situations. The research was conducted on a sample of 3,400 adult citizens of the City of Zagreb, and the sample was segmented according to the 17 city districts, with 200 respondents in each. Respondents filled out, in person and online, a questionnaire consisting of nine sections that examined the perception and feeling of (in)security in the City of Zagreb, satisfaction with the quality of life in the city and the district, and a feeling of accountability and willingness to actively participate in creating a feeling of security and raising the quality of life of citizens in the City of Zagreb. The analysis of the obtained results related to the security of citizens indicates that the respondents consider all measures of urban security of citizens important, and additional analyses have indicated that women, compared to men, assess the importance of measures as higher. The tendency of younger respondents to highlight applications as important urban security measures has also been noted. In addition, people with a lower level of trust in other people are more likely to attach greater importance to urban security measures.

Authors: Ahmić Damir , Cikoja Matea , Veselinović Jovan
Published: January 2024

Leadership, as one of the four basic functions of management, is an essential component of the successful business of every organization, including sports clubs. Leadership style represents a specific way of behavior of managers within the work process that affects business results. An autocratic management system implies a lower level of employee influence when making business decisions. In the training process, one of the main issues is the problem of what management style the coach should have, autocratic or democratic. The support in this work is in the type of gender and the way of acting. It is a recognized point of view that in environments where good relations do not prevail, the way of management brings different results about the gender of the cleaning act. For the stated reasons, the research was conducted to determine the degree of representation of the leadership style and its positive influence about gender.
Baudouin de Courtenay: Precursor to Contemporary Linguistic Thought
Authors: Kapetanović Dijana
Published: January 2024

The paper examines the scientific contribution and creative work of the lesser-known Polish linguist, Baudouin de Courtenay (1845-1929), a distinguished Slavist and Indo-Europeanist. The paper discusses numerous aspects of his modernist theories and provides an overview of the most significant reflections on language that can be considered as precursors to contemporary linguistic thought. In his long academic career from the Kazan period to his engagement at the universities of Dorpat, Kraków, Saint Petersburg, and Warsaw, the paper highlights the various influences he exerted on the linguistic research of his time as well as on the later generations of linguists with a special reference to de Courtenay's influence on Ferdinand de Saussure and the development of general and structural linguistics. The paper examines the evolution and development of de Courtenay's thought in various domains such as the theory of phonemes and phonetic alternations, which positioned him as the forerunner of the Prague Linguistic Circle, psycholinguistic research and the definition of language as a psychosocial phenomenon, South Slavic dialectology and lexicology, as well as the study of the use of language in other sciences and disciplines.
Phonetics Vs Phonology Based on Examples of Vowel Systems in French, Spanish, Italian and Romanian Languages
Authors: Gudurić Snežana
Published: January 2024

The paper deals with the relationship between phonetics and phonology using examples from the vowel systems of four Roman languages – French, Spanish, Italian, and Romanian. Starting from the principles of the Prague Linguistic Cicrle and N. Trubetzkoy’s Phonology Theory, which built his theory of phonetics as a discipline studying the material of physical aspects of minimal linguistic units as speech elements and using the methodology of natural sciences, and of phonology as a discipline concerned with the distributive properties of a limited number of minimal linguistic units i.e. phonemes, elements belonging to language and which applies methodologies specific to linguistics, sociology and psychology in its research. A comparative analysis of the vowel systems of the four Roman languages revealed different approaches in classifying identical or very similar vocal realizations, but also similarities in their nature. The research showed that complex systems tend to be less stable and tend to reduce, while simpler ones are more stable. Certain allophonic realizations in one or more languages appear as full-fledged phonemes in the system of another language, whereas some other realizations, present in spontaneous speech but not in the phonological system of a specific language, emerge as phonemic units in another language.

P4 medicine, with its focus on predictive, personalized, preventive, and participatory healthcare, has potential to transform traditional model of medicine. This article examines the principles and potential impact of P4 medicine, emphasizing role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in promoting and building a P4 medicine health system. The analysis explores two Erasmus+ projects, Train4inclusive and SNATCH, which involve NGOs and highlight their significant contributions to theimplementation of P4 medicine. NGOs can contribute to P4 medicine through advocacy, awareness, research, innovation, policy development, collaboration and partnerships. By raising awareness about P4 medicine, advocating for its principles, and collaborating with stakeholders,NGOs can drive positive change in healthcare systems. The Train4inclusive project focuses on educating trainers working with people with disabilities to monitor their progress in organized sports activities. This project contributes to personalized monitoring, data collection, analysis, collaboration, and knowledge exchange within the context of P4 medicine. The SNATCH project educates swimming trainers and teachers about healthy lifestyle factors, aligning with the principles of P4 medicine, including a holistic approach, prevention, wellness, personalized education, behavioral changes, and collaboration. The implementation of P4 medicine requires active participation of all stakeholders, including NGOs, small businesses, healthcare providers, researchers, technology developers, and general population. Timely education and preparation are crucial for a successful transition to P4 medicine.
Furthermore, while not specifically analyzed in this article, the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in P4 medicineis expected to be significant, with AI-powered personal health agents playing a fundamental role in delivering personalized and proactive healthcare.

Published: January 2024

Inclusive education of children with Down syndrome is the ubiquitous form of education in the world, and educators are expected to be sufficiently informed about the general characteristics of these children to meet their needs in a regular class. The research aims to examine the information level of educators about Down syndrome. The sub-goals are to determine differences in the general information level of educators2about Down syndrome concerning socio-demographic variables (age, gender, length of service, experience working with children with disabilities, occupation). The sample was convenient and consisted of 100 educators who gave informed consent to participate in the research. The information level about Down syndrome was examined by a survey compiled for research purposes. Due to the unevenness of the subsample concerning the socio-demographic variables Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis H test were used to process the obtained data. The results showed that educators are well informed about Down syndrome. There are no differences concerning gender, occupation (kindergarten teachers/ elementary school teachers), length of service, and experience in working with children with disabilities. Differences were found concerning age, and educators of the youngest age group (from 20 to 30 years old) are the best informed about Down syndrome. The results should be analyzed concerning the limitations of the research related to the sample and the survey, and therefore there is a need to repeat it in the future.

A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE ON EDUCATION ACROSS CULTURAL DIFFERENCES
Authors: Elemam Samar M. , Saide Abdurazag
Published: January 2024

This paper examines the topic of education across cultural differences and explores the concept of multicultural education (ME) to address the challenges and benefits of cultural diversity in educational institutions. The paper begins by acknowledging the increasing diversity in societies due to factors such as globalization, immigration, and intermarriage, emphasizing the need for cooperation and understanding among nations, peoples, and education; in addition, to highlighting the understandings and contributions of multicultural education, including instilling cultural sensitivity, embracing diversity, and nurturing appreciation of diverse ethnocultural heritage among students. It discusses how multicultural education helps develop a positive mindset, cultural navigation skills, and a global mindset, reducing discrimination, racial abuse, and culture shock while increasing opportunities for employment, education, and settlement in other countries. However, the paper also acknowledges critiques of multicultural education. These include concerns about it being a barrier to quality education for students from minority groups, the potential loss of students' cultural identities, and the argument that it overly emphasizes culture at the expense of intellectual development. The paper discusses the role of critical multiculturalism, intersectionality, critical literacy, and critical race theory in addressing education inequality. These theories advocate for equal resource distribution, recognition of intersecting identities, cultural inclusion, and challenging structural racism. The paper concludes that while multicultural education has its advantages and critiques, these theories offer valuable perspectives for creating a more inclusive and equitable educational system. By incorporating a multicultural perspective, education can better cater to diverse students and foster a more just society.Keywords: critical multiculturism, critical literacy, educational institutions, multicultural education, diversity, individualdifferences, multiculturalism, cultural pluralism, cultural diversity, cultural overlap, immigration, race, religion, gender.

The objective of this research was to investigate impulsivity among children with dyslexia and comorbid dyslexia/ADHD. Children with these disorders, along with a non-ADHD/dyslexia sample, completed a self-report on impulsivity. Additionally, a specific impulsivity scale was completed by the children's parents and teachers. The analysis revealed a main effect for groups, indicating that children with dyslexia and comorbid dyslexia/ADHD reported more symptoms of impulsivity than normally achieving children. Furthermore, differences were identified between children with dyslexia and those in the comorbid dyslexia/ADHD group. Specifically, children with comorbid dyslexia/ADHD exhibited more impulsive behavior than children with dyslexia alone. Notably, there was a high level of consensus in ratingsof impulsivity between children and their teachers and parents.Keywords:dyslexia, ADHD, impulsivity

THE BASIC FUNCTIONAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM
Authors: Casas Contreras Elladira
Published: January 2024

The rehabilitation needs of people with visual disabilities vary due to different factors: congenital or acquired eye diseases, new social interaction, adaptation to productive, academic, or similar life, among others, meaning a continuous readjustment of the treatment plan of the patient and increasing rehabilitation costs. The care history of the Rehabilitation Center for Blind Adults (CRAC) has followed the basic functional rehabilitation route of the Rehabilitation Manual of the Latin American Union of the Blind (FOAL-ULAC, 1999) and contains the variables that can efficiently classify these patients with the use of machine learning tools.The patient's demographic (gender, age group) and clinical data (visual condition, admission ophthalmological diagnosis, emotional state), along with the number of visits, were collected through non-probabilistic sampling; The multiple correspondence analysis resulted in inverse associations between the quantitative and categorical variables, there was also a positive correlation between the quantitative variables according to Pearson's coefficient. To define the classification target variable, the similarcharacteristics between the variables were grouped into two clusters, using the scikit-learn library in Python and the k-prototype algorithm; After having the objective-labeled variable, the supervised Decision Tree, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting and Logistic Regression models were trained and tested. These models gave an accuracy between 82% and 84%, the most effective being the Gradient Boosting model, whose class prediction was: of 516 True Positives, 11 are False Positives, of 94 True Negatives and 15 are False Negatives (recall 98%), and accuracy of 83%.Keywords: Basic Function Rehabilitation, Supervised Machine Learning, Clustering, Predictive Models
COMMUNICATION SKILLS OF THREE-YEARS-OLD:
ENVIRONMENTAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC INFLUENCES
Authors: Vučković Dijana , Šakotić Nada
Published: January 2024

The paper presents a quantitative research whose goal was to identify the communication skills of three-year-olds using the Gunzberg II test. The purposive sample consists of 312 children aged three years. The main assumption of the research was that the communication skills of three-year-olds are influenced by their gender, birth order, parents' level of education, length of stay in kindergarten and age within the same age group. None of the mentioned variables had a consistent impact on the communication skills of the examined children. Some variables did not affect the emergence of differences at all (e.g. the mother's level of education), and some influenced the realization of at most two tasks (gender, birth order and age within the same age group). This was insufficient to accept the auxiliary, and thus the main hypothesis. In general, three-year-olds did not demonstrate sufficient communication skills in accordance with expectations based on developmental characteristics, which points to the need to intensify, enrich and encourage work on the development of communication.Keywords:demographic characteristics, communication, speech development, environmental influences, three-year-olds.

A sensorimotor disorder characterized by a deviation from the parallel position of the eyes is called strabismus, strabismus or strabismus. Strabismus can be non-paralytic, then paralytic (they appear at any age), and concomitant strabismus, the peculiarity of which is that they appear in childhood and are found in 4-6% of the total population. Long-term treatment is required, and it consists of pleoptic methods that include occlusion and exercises for amblyopia, which treat low vision and other sensory complications, and orthoptic methods that refer to: glasses, occlusions, prisms, which establish and maintain the parallelism of the visual axes. After exhaustive conservative treatment, the operative procedure is started. Experience thus far indicates that it is necessary to change and introduce new methods appropriate to the age of a child and the stage to which the treatment has progressed.Keywords: esotropia, exotropia, amblyopia

Aimof this study was to present data on addicts with the imposed protective measure of compulsory treatment of addition that were sent to the Institute for Addiction Diseases for the period 2014-2020. The study compares artsof law violation, art of addiction as well as duration of the protective measure of compulsory treatment.Out of 61 patients, 59 (96 %) were males and 2 (4%) females. The only reason for compulsory treatment for all of them was domestic violence. Out of 61 patients 41 (67%) underwent compulsory treatment due to use of psycho-active compounds (PAS) and 20 (33%) due to use of alcohol. Incidence of alcohol or PAS was statistically significant higher in males than in females (19 vs 1, p<0.001; 40 vs 1, p<0.001, respectively). Duration of the treatment was significantly longer in patients who used PAS than in those who used alcohol (10.29 vs 7.4 months; p<0.05). There was not statistically difference between duration ofthe treatment in males and females (9.36 vs 9.00 months; p>0.05). Incidence of the compulsory measures was significantly higher in 2018, 2019 and 2020 than in 2014, 2015 and 2016 (p<0.001). In all analyzed years, except 2015, incidence of the mandatory measureswas significantly higher in patients who misused PAS than who misused alcohol. The most common difficulties are:lowmotivational capacity,inadequate way of thinking, inadequateway of behaving with the adoption of new models and, ultimately, inadequate independent functioning.

Published: January 2024

Education seeks to build the best quality human resources for the future.One way to make this happen is by knowing the various forms of learning theories that function so that the process of errors in learning can be minimized. Apart from that, to increase students' enthusiasm for learning, teachers must innovate, including byusing a constructivist approach to learning. So this research aims to describe the Constructivist Learning Theory in Education. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative descriptive approach, collecting data from primary and secondary sources, then analyzing the content of relevant discussions and drawing conclusions. The results of the research show that constructivist learning theory is an approach to the individual learning process in which it has principles and characteristics to answer various relevant problems, adapts to the current curriculum, focuses on student activity, and participates in assessing students' opinions when they express their opinions. The steps must include apperception, exploration, consolidation, attitude formation, and assessment using a format. Meanwhile, several learning models that are currently running are based on constructivism, including Problem-Based Learning, Authentic Learning, Inquiry-Based Learning, and Cooperative Learning.Keywords: Learning Theory, Constructivism, Education, Learning Models

Published: January 2024

Educational institutions record an increase in behavioral disorders in children and adolescents every day, with severe symptoms that result in hospitalization or the imposition of criminal sanctions for juvenile delinquents. Behavioral disorders of children and young people stand out as one of the primary problems of today's society. The purpose of this paper is to give a detailed insight into the state of emotional and behavioral disorders, from those that are hidden such as withdrawal, apprehension, fear,anxiety to behavior that children and young people come into conflict with others, even committing acts that are legally recordable as punishable. It has been proven in various studies that early diagnosis and preventive interventions in working with children give the best results. The hypothesis that behavioral disorders and emotional problems among children and young people in primary and secondary schools are present and require the application of appropriate preventive and treatment programs has been confirmed. Through the presentation of modern approaches to the detection, prevention and diagnosis of behavioral problems, this work shows the relationship between biological factors, parental qualities, education, the influence of peers, school and socialnorms, and the way in which they become risky for the development of problematic behavior. Detecting risk factors and stopping the action of risk processes, which have been proven to have a positive correlation with the occurrence of aggressive behavior in children, leads to a decrease in the rate of its occurrence. It has been observed that there are several successful ways of working with children that result in a reduction in the rate of behavioral disorders, even in provoking situations. Communication and problem-solving skills training can successfully reduce inappropriate child behaviors. Teaching social-emotional skills, in addition to reducing behavioral disorders, also results in higher self-esteem and more positive attitudes in children.Schoolshave a need for continuous implementation of science-based prevention programs that include interventions aimed at children and work with parents

Authors: Begović Emina
Published: January 2024

The aim of this paper is to examine a teacher’s role in the development of artistic-aesthetic communication, based on the representation of the use of works of art and their reproductions in art education. The research was conducted on a sample of 220 respondents, of which 200 of them were students and 20 were homeroom teachers. The research part presents the results and interpretation of surveys conducted among teachers and students. The t-test was calculated to determine whether there are significant differences between the obtained results on certain variables, that is, those related to demographic data. The results indicate that homeroom teachers are insufficiently involved in the development of art-aesthetic communication, that is, child's communication with a work of art. Regardless of the fact that 70% of teachers believe that it is important for students from the first to fifth grade of primary school to learn about and analyze valuable works of art, 35% of teachers and more than half of the students (55%) claim that they never use art textbooks.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Chrysophyllum albidum (C. albidum) is a plant that is reported to have antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and wound healing activities. Aim: This work was to show that Chrysophyllum albidum extracts protect pancreatic beta-cells from streptozotocin-induced diabetes in Sprague-Dawley rats. Method: A total of thirty Sprague Dawley rats were used. Group I served as the control with 5 rats while diabetes was induced by injecting a single dose of STZ (50 mg/kg BW) into 25 rats of 5 rats per group. After 3 days of induction of diabetes, the diabetic animals were treated for 28 days with ethanoic extract of C. albidum leave as groups IV, V and VI (125, 250, and 500 mg/kg) respectively, group III was given glibenclamide (2 mg/kg) orally. The blood glucose levels were monitored at regular intervals during the experiment. At the end of the study, the rats were sacrificed and the blood samples were collected for biochemical analysis; and the histology of the pancreatic tissue was conducted. Results: C. albidum improved, in a dose-dependent manner, the survival and function of rat pancreatic beta-cells from STZ-induced diabetic mediated loss of cell viability and impairment of insulin secretion. Additionally, C. albidum demonstrated potential in reducing TG, LDL-C, TC, and increasing HDL-C. The extract increased the activities of CAT, SOD, and GSH. Finally, C. albidum improved the pancreatic cell injury better than glibenclamide, a medication that is routinely prescribed to treat diabetes. The histological analysis of the pancreas revealed an increase in the number, size, and regeneration of β-cell of islets of Langerhans. Conclusion: These findings suggested that C. albidum induces insulin secretion that protects beta-cells from oxidative stress-related diabetes.
