Learning at the Museum / Učenje u muzeju
Authors: Brajčić Marija , Kovačević Sonja , Kuščević Dubravka
Published: August 2023

AbstractMuseums are informal environments for learning, where learning is truly initiated and processed through curiosity, observation and the activity. This kind of a learning process can be different from the processes in formal learning surroundings. A special opportunity offered by the museums is the experimental nature of learning which is based on encounters with actual objects. In informal environments the cognitive and the affective learning are connected and can upgrade each other. The aim of this study was to explore students' opinions about learning at the museum, the efficiency of this kind of work and the positive connotations to children's education. The effect of the "gender" variable at forming the attitude was also explored. The number of the participants in this research was 380 students of which 140 were male and 240 were female students. The students generally highly valued the importance of this kind of learning, and they consider it efficient, and thus a necessary part of the students' education. The results gained in this way should promote and encourage the expansion of cooperation between museums and educational institutions.Key words: education; pupil; student; teaching---Sažetak Muzeji su neformalna okruženja za učenje, u kojima je učenje istinski motivirano i procesirano preko znatiželje, promatranja i raznih aktivnosti. Proces takva učenja može biti drugačiji od procesa učenja koje vežemo uz formalna okruženja. Posebna prilika koju muzeji nude jest eksperimentalna priroda učenja koja se temelji na susretima sa stvarnim objektima. U neformalnim okruženjima kognitivno i afektivno učenje su povezani i mogu se nadograditi. Cilj ovog rada bio je istražiti stavove studenata o učenju u muzeju, njegovoj učinkovitosti i pozitivnim konotacijama na odgoj i obrazovanje djece. Istraživan je utjecaj varijable spola na oblikovanje stavova. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 380 studenata, od toga 140 muškaraca i 240 žena. Studenti su visoko ocijenili značaj takva načina učenja, smatraju ga učinkovitim i potrebnim u odgoju i obrazovanju učenika. Dobiveni rezultati trebali bi aktualizirati temu poticanja sveobuhvatnije suradnje muzeja i odgojno-obrazovnih ustanova.Ključne riječi: obrazovanje, podučavanje, studenti, učenici
Educational Tendencies: Private and Alternative Schools / Odgojne i obrazovne tendencije: Privatne i alternativne škole
Authors: Milutinovic Jovana , Zukovic Sladjana
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to highlight the concepts of private and alternative education, and their relationships and interactions. The focus is on the analysis of experiences regarding the work of private and alternative primary (compulsory) schools, with the emphasis on a wide range of practices implemented in particular central European countries in order to promote and implement the parental choice of school. The conclusion is that educational reforms in the region are conditioned by specific cultural characteristics of each country and its local communities. However, what most of them have in common is the fact that they regulated private education by law at the beginning of the transition. Also, the conclusion is that Serbia is still at the very beginning when it comes to the development of pedagogical and school pluralism observed through activities of private and alternative schools.Key words: alternative education; educational and pedagogical pluralism; parental choice of school; private education---Sažetak Cilj je ovoga rada istaknuti koncepte privatnog i alternativnog odgoja i obrazovanja, te njihove međusobne odnose i interakcije. Naglasak je na analizi iskustava vezanih uz rad privatnih ialternativnih osnovnih škola (obavezno obrazovanje) s naglaskom na širok raspon primjera u određenim zemljama srednje Europe s ciljem promicanja i primjene prakse prema kojoj roditelji imaju pravo na izbor škole. Zaključak je da su obrazovne reforme u regiji uvjetovane specifičnim kulturnim obilježjima svake zemlje i njezinih lokalnih zajednica. Međutim, većini je zemalja zajednička činjenica da su zakonom regulirale privatno školovanje na početku tranzicije. Također, zaključak je da je Srbija još uvijek na početku kada je u pitanju razvoj pedagoškog i školskog pluralizma gledano s aspekta aktivnosti privatnih i alternativnih škola.Ključne riječi: alternativno obrazovanje,; obrazovni i pedagoški pluralizam; pravo roditelja na izbor škole; privatno obrazovanje
Education, Labour Market and Reindustrialization - Case of Serbia / Obrazovanje, tržište rada i reindustrijalizacija – slučaj Srbije
Authors: Adzic Sofija , Pejanovic Radovan , Medojevic Branko
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis paper is the result of research about the role of the education system in initializing and realization of the reindustrialization project in Serbia towards the European concept of endogenous, auto-propulsive and self-sustainable development, based on scientific knowledge. An appropriate methodology was developed for the needs of this research. Its key feature is that the strategy for the system modernization should be defined as a combination of a normative and growth strategy, since an industrial enterprise is supposed to become a (virtual) school. The key outcome is that the education system has two assignments. The first one is that smaller modifications of its own resources in order to provide support to the offer on the labour market will enable the beginning of the project of reindustrialization of Serbia in 2020. The second is that by 2020 a workforce will have been created from the scarce work contingent of people born after 1990 who will have the flexibility, innovation and ability to become involved into new processes and with products which will enable the further implementation of the industrialization process in Serbia.Key words: education for European and global labour market; higher and lifelong education; medium system; modernization strategies; reindustrialization; self-organisation---Sažetak Ovaj rad rezultat je istraživanja o ulozi obrazovnog sustava u pokretanju i realizaciji projekta reindustrijalizacije u Srbiji da bi se dosegao europski pojam endogenog, samopokretačkog i samoodrživog razvoja, utemeljen na znanstvenom znanju. Za potrebe istraživanja osmišljena je odgovarajuća metodologija. Njezina je glavna značajka da bi se strategija osuvremenjivanja sustava trebala opisati kao kombinacija normativne strategije i strategije rasta, budući da bi industrijsko poduzeće trebalo postati virtualna škola. Ključni rezultat upućuje na to da obrazovni sustav ima dva bitna zadatka. Prvi je zadatak da se manjim preinakama vlastitih resursa, a da bi se podržala ponuda na tržištu rada, omogući početak projekta reindustrijalizacije Srbije 2020. godine. Drugi je da će se do 2020. stvoriti takva radna snaga iz oskudne radne snage ljudi rođenih nakon 1990. koja će imati fleksibilnost, pokazati inovacije i sposobnost uhvatiti se u koštac s novim procesima i proizvodima koji će omogućiti daljnju provedbu procesa industrijalizacije Srbije.Ključne riječi: obrazovanje za europsko i svjetsko tržište rada; reindustrijalizacija; samoorganizacija; srednji sustav; strategije osuvremenjivanja; visoko i cjeloživotno obrazovanje

AbstractThe primary aim of this study is to examine the OCBs of teacher candidates. Since OCB concept is considered an issue related to professional achievement and performance in the teaching profession, as well as in any field of any other profession, it is important to examine OCBs of teacher candidates. However, very limited studies have been conducted to explain OCBs of teacher candidates who will work in schools after graduation. In this article teacher candidates' OCBs were examined according to their academic scores. The study sample consisted of 224 university students attending Faculty of Education. OCB scale was used to obtain data. The data analyses were conducted by descriptive and correlative statistics. The results revealed that students attending Faculty of Education showed an adequate level of OCB and students having high academic scores showed high level of OCBs.Key words: civic virtue; conscientiousness; individual initiative; organizational loyalty; professional achievement---SažetakGlavni cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je ispitati organizacijsko građansko ponašanje studenata Učiteljskoga fakulteta. Budući da se organizacijsko građansko ponašanje smatra pojmom vezanim uz profesionalna postignuća i rad u učiteljskom zanimanju, ali i u svakom drugom zanimanju, važno je ispitati organizacijsko građansko ponašanje studenata koji će raditi u učiteljskoj struci. Provedeno je istraživanje kojemu je cilj objasniti organizacijsko građansko ponašanje budućih učitelja koji će nakon završetka fakulteta raditi u školama. U ovome radu ispitivano je organizacijsko građansko ponašanje budućih učitelja prema njihovome akademskom uspjehu. Uzorak uzet za istraživanje sastojao se od 224 studenta Učiteljskoga fakulteta. Za dobivanje podataka koristila se Skala organizacijskoga građanskog ponašanja. Pri analiziranju podataka koristila se deskriptivna i korelacijska statistika. Rezultati su pokazali da studenti koji pohađaju Učiteljski fakultet imaju odgovarajući stupanj organizacijskog građanskog ponašanja, a studenti koji imaju bolji akademski uspjeh pokazali su i viši stupanj organizacijskoga građanskog ponašanja.

AbstractThe determination of the levels of mathematical knowledge and skills is of essential importance when planning and organizing any form of work with students as well as in the process of creating mathematics curriculum. A question emerges: What kind of mathematical knowledge and skills are children equipped with when entering the first grade of primary school? In the Republic of Macedonia, written mathematics testing of children at this age (approximately 6 years) is not conducted. At the national level there are no data on this issue.At the beginning of the school year 2011/2012 a research study was conducted in primary schools in the Republic of Macedonia, based on a previous research conducted in the Netherlands. The results on five of the given problems are discussed and compared with the results obtained from similar studies conducted previously in other European countries. Another question consequently emerges: Does the national mathematics curriculum for the first grade give full credit to children's actual mathematics competences and does it provide optimal conditions for their further advancement?Key words: first grade pupils; mathematical competences; national curriculum; primary education.---SažetakOdređivanje razina matematičkog znanja i vještina od ključne je važnosti prilikom planiranja i organiziranja rada s učenicima, kao i prilikom stvaranja kurikula iz područja matematike. Pitanje koje se postavlja jest: Kakvo znanje i vještine iz matematike posjeduju učenici na početku prvog razreda osnovne škole? U Republici Makedoniji ne provode se pismeni testovi iz matematike za šestogodišnjake. Na nacionalnoj razini ne postoje podatci povezani s tom problematikom.Na početku šk. god. 2011./2012. u Republici Makedoniji provedeno je istraživanje u osnovnim školama koje se oslanja na istraživanje u Nizozemskoj. Provedena je analiza rezultata i njihova usporedba s rezultatima sličnih istraživanja u europskim zemljama. Na kraju istraživanja postavlja se pitanje: Uzima li nacionalni kurikul za matematiku za prvi razred u obzir u potpunosti matematičku kompetenciju djece i pruža li im optimalne uvjete za daljnji napredak? Ključne riječi: matematičke kompetencije; nacionalni kurikul; primarno obrazovanje; učenici prvoga razreda

The Child’s Right to Play?! / Pravo djeteta na igru?!
Authors: Mrnjaus Kornelija
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn this paper the author elaborates the issue of the child's right to play through the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. As the three main challenges she puts forth the questions of recognition, respect and promotion of children's right to play. Referring to the studies which indicate that the time children spend playing is getting shorter, she points out the problem of the "subtle" violation of children's rights as well as the direct consequences of shorter time for play on the child's intellectual, social, emotional and physical development. The author also shortly elaborates the connection between play and decrease/increase in violence amongst children.Key words: child; play; importance of play; right to play; violation of the right to play.---SažetakAutorica u ovom radu obrađuje temu prava djece na igru kroz Konvenciju o pravima djeteta i kao tri ključna izazova navodi pitanje prepoznavanja, poštivanja i promicanja prava djece na igru. Referirajući se na istraživanja koja pokazuju da se vrijeme koje djeca provode u igri sve više smanjuje, ukazuje na problem “suptilnog” kršenja prava djeteta, kao i na izravne posljedice sve kraćeg vremena igranja na djetetov intelektualni, društveni, emocionalni i fizički razvoj. Autorica se u radu također kratko bavi povezanošću igre i smanjenja/povećanja nasilja među djecom.Ključne riječi: dijete; igra; važnost igre; pravo na igru; kršenje prava na igru
Children's Perspective in Play: Documenting the Educational Process / Dječja perspektiva u igri: dokumentiranje odgojno-obrazovnog procesa
Authors: Vujičić Lidija , Miketek Marija
Published: August 2023

Abstract Our initial hypothesis is that documenting the educational process encompasses the entirety of the context in which children and adults in preschool institutions live, work and play. In this manner, documentation is approached as a means of changing and improving educational practice. By using a qualitative case study, we researched the role that social interaction plays in the learning processes of children of an early and preschool age. As a theoretical anchor for our perusal of the conversations and interaction between the children in a kindergarten group, we made use of sociocultural perspectives on learning and the socialisation of children. Exploring the discourse of children is valuable not only because it aids in appreciating individual and group learning experiences, but also because it assists us in gaining an understanding of children's actions and the active role they play in their own learning. Thus the research was rooted in an extensive examination and documentation of activities of learning and exploration within the stimulating environment of the kindergarten. Within this study, children are understood as creators of the meaning and active participants in their own learning processes. In addition to this, the relationships between children have become a context in which the co-construction of theories unfolds, as does the interpretation of different perceptions of reality.Key words: a child, documentation, exploration, educators, stimulating environment---Sažetak Naša polazna teza jest da dokumentiranje odgojno-obrazovnog procesa obuhvaća cjelokupni kontekst življenja djece i odraslih u instituciji ranog i predškolskog odgoja. Na taj način o dokumentaciji raspravljamo kao o sredstvu mijenjanja i unapređivanja odgojno-obrazovne prakse. Uz pomoć metodologije kvalitativne studije slučaja istražili smo koju ulogu ima društvena interakcija u procesu učenja djece rane i predškolske dobi. Istražili smo dječje rasprave i interakcije unutar vrtićke grupe oslanjajući se na sociokulturne perspektive o učenju i socijalizaciji djece. Proučavanje dječjeg diskursa vrijedno je ne samo zbog razumijevanja individualnih i grupnih iskustava učenja već nam pomaže u shvaćanju dječje poduzetnosti i njihove aktivne uloge u vlastitom učenju. Istraživanje je usredotočeno na iscrpno dokumentiranje i proučavanje istraživačko-spoznajnih aktivnosti u poticajnom okruženju vrtića. U ovom istraživanju djecu se smatra tvorcima značenja i aktivnim sudionicima u vlastitom procesu učenja. Uz to su dječji odnosi postali kontekst u kojemu se odvijala sukonstrukcija teorija i interpretacija raznih shvaćanja zbilje.Ključne riječi: dijete, dokumentacija, istraživanje, odgajatelj, poticajno okruženje
Analyzing the Factors that Affect Preschoolers’ Parents’ Choice of Toys / Analiza čimbenika koji utječu na odabir igračaka među roditeljima predškolaca
Authors: Kabadayı Abdülkadir
Published: August 2023

Teachers at schools and parents at home need toys to support children’s psychomotor, cognitive, socioemotional and linguistic development during the period of play. In this respect, toys used in play are effective media for teaching children while at the same time entertaining them. The aim of this study is to analyze the factors that affect the preschoolers’ parents’ choice of toys in the Turkish context with respect to some variables, such as parents’ education and their economic status. The sample of this study comprised 194 parents of preschoolers attending 5 different preschool institutions in Turkey and the toys they bought for their children. The instrument titled “Toy Selection Preference Questionnaire” (TSPQ) for preschoolers was developed by the researcher and used to analyze the data. In this survey ANOVA test in SPSS 15.0 was used to compare the dependent and independent variables of this research. The findings showed that there were significant differences between the parents’ levels of education and the subdimensions of TSPQ including the cognitive, parents’ and toy design perspectives, and there were also significant differences between the parents’ economic status and the subdimensions of TSPQ comprising health, parents and toy design perspectives.  Key words: Developmental domains; parents’ view; preschoolers; toys; Toy Selection Preference Questionnaire; Turkish context. --- SažetakNastavnicima u školama i roditeljima kod kuće potrebne su igračke kao potpora djetetovu psihomotornom, kognitivnom, socioemocionalnom i jezičnom razvoju za vrijeme igre. Igračke koje se koriste za vrijeme igre učinkoviti su mediji s pomoću kojih djeca istodobno uče i zabavljaju se. Cilj je ovoga istraživanja analizirati čimbenike koji utječu na odabir igračaka među roditeljima predškolaca u turskom kontekstu s obzirom na određene varijable, kao što su obrazovanje roditelja i njihov ekonomski status. Uzorak ispitanika u ovom istraživanju sastoji se od 194 roditelja predškolske djece koja pohađaju 5 različitih predškolskih ustanova u Turskoj. Analiza je uključivala igračke koje su roditelji kupili za svoju djecu. Instrument pod nazivom "Upitnik o odabiru igračaka" za djecu predškolske dobi konstruirali su istraživači i upotrijebljen je za analizu podataka. U ovom je istraživanju korištena analiza varijance u programu SPSS 15.0 s ciljem usporedbe zavisnih i nezavisnih varijabli. Rezultati su pokazali da postoje značajne razlike između razine obrazovanja roditelja i poddimenzija "Upitnika o odabiru igračaka" koje se odnose na spoznajnu te perspektivu roditelja i izrade igračaka. Značajne su razlike također utvrđene između ekonomskog statusa roditelja i poddimenzija "Upitnika o odabiru igračaka" koje se odnose na zdravlje te perspektivu roditelja i izrade igračaka.Ključne riječi: razvojne domene; stav roditelja; predškolska djeca; igračke; "Upitnik o odabiru igračaka"; turski kontekst
Contribution of Traditional Games to the Quality of Students’ Relations and Frequency of Students' Socialization in Primary Education / Doprinos tradicijskih igara kvaliteti međuljudskih odnosa i učestalosti druženja učenika u primarnom obrazovanju
Authors: Kovačević Tatjana , Opić Siniša
Published: August 2023

Abstract The goal of this research was to examine the contribution of traditional games to the quality of relations and to the frequency of students' socialization in primary education. A modified version of the School Violence Questionnaire was implemented on a sample of 232 students in the second, third and fourth grades in four primary schools in Karlovac. The first testing determined the quality of students' relations and the frequency of their socialization. After applying the traditional games, in June 2010, a final test was implemented. Two hypotheses assumed the existence of a statistically significant difference in the quality of relations and the frequency of students' socializations before and after the implementation of traditional games. The research results have shown an improvement of human relations between students in class, and an increase of students' socialization outside classes, after implementing traditional games in school.Key words: students` association, human relation, primary education, traditional play---SažetakCilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati doprinos tradicijskih igara kvaliteti međuljudskih odnosa i učestalosti druženja učenika primarnog obrazovanja. Modificirana verzija Upitnika o školskom nasilju (Buljan Flander, Karlović, Štimac, 2003) primijenjena je na uzorku od 232 učenika drugih, trećih i četvrtih razreda u četiri karlovačke osnovne škole. Prvim je ispitivanjem utvrđena kvaliteta međuljudskih odnosa i učestalost druženja učenika, a nakon primjene deset tradicijskih igara, u lipnju 2010. godine, provedeno je finalno ispitivanje. Dvjema hipotezama pretpostavljeno je postojanje statistički značajne razlike u kvaliteti međuljudskih odnosa i učestalosti druženja učenika prije i nakon provođenja tradicijskih igara. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su poboljšanje međuljudskih odnosa među učenicima u razredu te porast druženja učenika izvan nastave nakon provođenja tradicijskih igara u školi.Ključne riječi: druženje učenika; međuljudski odnosi; primarno obrazovanje; tradicijska igra
Play and its Pedagogical Potential in a Preschool Institution / Igra i njezin pedagoški potencijal u ustanovi ranog odgoja
Authors: Slunjski Edita , Ljubetić Maja
Published: August 2023

Abstract The role of playing in young children's educational process is priceless. It represents the child's zone of proximal development and a possible transition into a higher stage of his/her cognitive and social development, and should be regarded as an integral part of the educational process in the institutions for early education. This implies providing proper conditions for playing and developing playing experiences, which includes creating a safe place and a positive environment for playing, offering "open" materials suitable for different stages of a child's development, providing enough uninterrupted playtime, showing an interest for children's activities and achievements, strengthening the children's cooperation, providing enough time for self-organization of the activities and allowing enough time to carefully listen and observe the children playing. Types of games and their complexity and educational value can be perceived from various perspectives, i.e. observed in terms of various theoretical approaches. This paper analyses playing from two framework perspectives - cognitive and social, and addresses the conditions in early education institutions needed for its uninterrupted activity and its pedagogic potential.Key words: children; educator; learning; observation; pedagogy of free play.---SažetakU odgoju i obrazovanju djeteta rane dobi igra ima neprocjenjivu ulogu. Ona predstavlja «zonu sljedećeg razvoja» djeteta i mogući prijelaz u višu fazu njegova kognitivnog i socijalnog razvoja pa je u ustanovi ranog odgoja valja shvaćati kao integralni dio odgojno-obrazovnog procesa. To implicira osiguranje adekvatnih uvjeta za igru i razvoj iskustava igranja, što uključuje kreiranje sigurnog mjesta i pozitivog ozračja za igru, ponudu «otvorenih» materijala primjerenih različitim razvojnim razinama djece, uvažavanje i osnaživanje individualnih značajki i specifičnih mogućnosti djece, osiguravanje dovoljno neprekinutog vremena, iskazivanje iskrenog interesa za aktivnosti i postignuća djece, osnaživanje suradnje među djecom, osiguravanje dovoljno vremena za samoorganizaciju aktivnosti i osiguravanja vremena za pažljivo slušanje i promatranje djece u igri. Vrste igara, njihovu složenost i odgojno-obrazovnu vrijednost moguće je razmatrati iz različitih perspektiva, tj. sagledavati u okviru različitih teorijskih pristupa. U ovom radu igra će se razmatrati iz dvije okvirne perspetive, spoznajne i socijalne. Raspravljat će se o preduvjetima u ustanovi ranog odgoja potrebnim za njezino nesmetano odvijanje i njezin pedagoški potencijal.Ključne riječi: dijete; odgajatelj; pedagogija slobodne igre; promatranje; učenje
A Look at a Small Classroom in a Big University: Through a Metaphor, Vividly / Živopisni pogled u malu učionicu na velikom sveučilištu: uz pomoć metafore
Authors: Nikitina Larisa , Furuoka Fumitaka
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn educational research literature there are two influential metaphors about learning. They describe this process as either "acquisition" or "participation" (Sfard, 1998). These metaphors have been widely used by scholars, researchers and educators. However, the students' perspectives on learning have been underexplored. This article addresses this gap in research literature and examines metaphors about learning created by a group of foreign language learners in a big public university in East Malaysia. The findings indicate universality of people's perceptions about learning and reveal the presence of both the "acquisition" and "participation" metaphors in the students' images. The study considers the implications of the findings for language pedagogy. Key words: educational metaphors; foreign language education; student-produced metaphors.---SažetakU literaturi o istraživanjima u odgoju i obrazovanju postoje dvije utjecajne metafore o učenju, prema kojima se učenje opisuje ili kao ,,usvajanje'' ili kao ,,sudjelovanje''  (Sfard, 1998). Njima se uvelike koriste znanstvenici, istraživači i pedagozi, ali je slika o učenju iz perspektive učenika nedovoljno istraživana. Ovaj se rad bavi upravo tim nedostatkom u literaturi te razmatra metafore o učenju koje je oblikovala skupina polaznika nastave stranog jezika na jednom velikom sveučilištu u Maleziji.  Rezultati ukazuju na univerzalnost predodžbi o učenju i otkrivaju postojanje obje metafore u stajalištima učenika. Istraživanje uzima u obzir njihove implikacije u nastavi jezika. Ključne riječi: metafore u nastavi; metafore koje su proizveli učenici; nastava stranog jezika.

AbstractThis study aims to determine the relationships among teachers' trust in the manager, commitment to the manager, satisfaction with the manager and teachers' intent to leave. The data was collected on the sample of 478 primary school teachers using self-report scales. Two alternative structural models were examined: one proposed that satisfaction with the manager causes commitment, while the other one proposed that commitment causes satisfaction. Both alternative models yielded exactly the same good fit indices. According to the first model, the teachers' trust in manager predicts their satisfaction with manager and commitment to manager positively, while trust in manager negatively predicts their intent to leave through the mediating effect of satisfaction with manager. According to the second model, teachers' trust in manager positively predicts their satisfaction with manager and commitment to manager, while trust in manager negatively predicts the teachers' intent to leave through the mediating effects of commitment to manager and satisfaction with manager. Key words: commitment to the manager; intent to leave; satisfaction with the manager; trust in the manager.---Sažetak Cilj ovoga istraživanja je odrediti veze između povjerenja zaposlenika u menadžera, predanosti menadžeru, zadovoljstva menadžerom i namjere nastavnika da napuste ustanovu u kojoj rade. Podaci su prikupljeni na uzorku od 478 nastavnika osnovne škole koji su upotrebljavali skale samoprocjene. Ispitana su i dva drugačija strukturna modela: jedan koji tvrdi da zadovoljstvo menadžmentom vodi predanosti i drugi koji tvrdi da predanost menadžmentu vodi zadovoljstvu. Oba modela pokazala su jednako dobre indekse pogodnosti. Prema prvome modelu povjerenje nastavnika u menadžera pozitivno utječe na njihovo zadovoljstvo menadžerom i predanost menadžeru, dok to isto povjerenje u menadžera umanjuje njihovu namjeru da napuste organizaciju, kroz medijacijski učinak zadovoljstva menadžerom. Prema drugome modelu, povjerenje nastavnika u menadžera pozitivno utječe na njihovo zadovoljstvo menadžerom i na predanost menadžeru, dok povjerenje u menadžera umanjuje njihovu namjeru da napuste organizaciju, kroz medijacijski učinak predanosti menadžeru i zadovoljstva menadžerom. Ključne riječi: namjera napuštanja organizacije; povjerenje u menadžera; predanost menadžeru; zadovoljstvo menadžerom.
Using Data Mining to Predict Success in Studying / Primjena rudarenja podataka u predviđanju uspješnosti studiranja

Published: August 2023

AbstractThis paper deals with the creation of a model for predicting the performance of students during their studies using data mining, as well as with the analysis of factors which affect the achieved level of success. The model that is created on the basis of students’ socio-demographic data, data on their behaviour, personality characteristics, attitudes towards learning and the entire teaching process organization tends to classify students into one of two categories of success. Performance is measured by students’ grade point average achieved over the period of studies. We tested three methods of data mining: logistic regression, decision trees and neural networks. We believe that the presented model would serve as a test for the creation of a broader base of updated data by using some of the information tools and that, based on this model, a number of attributes that would relatively reliably predict the performance in studying will be defined.Key words: backward stepwise analysis; CART algorithm; decision trees; logistic regression; neural networks.---SažetakRad se bavi stvaranjem modela za predviđanje uspješnosti studenata tijekom studiranja primjenom rudarenja podataka (engl. data mining) i analizom čimbenika koji utječu na postignuti stupanj uspješnosti. Model koji je stvoren na temelju socio-demografskih podataka o studentima, podataka o njihovu ponašanju, osobnim karakteristikama, stavovima prema učenju i organizaciji cjelokupnog nastavnog procesa svrstava studente u jednu od dviju kategorija uspješnosti. Uspješnost u studiranju mjeri se srednjom prosječnom ocjenom koju studenti stječu tijekom studiranja. Ispitali smo tri metode rudarenja podataka: logističku regresiju, drvo odlučivanja i neuronske mreže. Smatramo da bi prikazani model mogao poslužiti kao test za stvaranje šire baze ažuriranih podataka korištenjem nekih informacijskih alata i da bi se na temelju toga modela mogli definirati brojni atributi koji bi relativno pouzdano predviđali uspješnost studenata u studiranju. Ključne riječi: CART algoritam; logistička regresija; neuronske mreže; stablo odlučivanja; stupnjevita analiza unatrag
Differences in Teachers' Opinions of Grading Styles in Croatian Language Classes in Lower Grades of Primary School/Razlike u mišljenjima učitelja o ocjenjivanju postignuća učenika iz hrvatskoga jezika u razrednoj nastavi
Authors: Margetić Nikola
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe objective of this empirical research was to identify differences in opinions of grading styles applied in Croatian Language classes that exist between teachers teaching in lower grades of primary school, and with respect to their teaching experience and level of education completed. The research was conducted in February 2010 and included 160 teachers from central and district schools in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County. The results related to teaching the Croatian Language show that there are statistically significant differences based on work experience between teachers in the opinion that numerical and descriptive grades should be combined in grades 3 and 4. The research also revealed no statistically significant difference between teachers in lower grades of primary school in attitudes towards descriptive and numerical grading with respect to the level of education attained. The results suggest that teachers are not supportive of descriptive grading. This paper is a contribution to the search for new docimological solutions characterised by the prevalence of descriptive, analytical grading.  Key words: Croatian language classes; descriptive grading; grading; numerical grading. ---SažetakCilj ovog empirijskog istraživanja je utvrđivanje razlika u mišljenjima o ocjenjivanju u  nastavi hrvatskog jezika između učitelja razredne nastave s obzirom na godine poučavanja i stupanj obrazovanja.

Cereals are prone to viral infections and the economic impact of these has increased in recent years. Among these diseases barley yellow dwarf (BYD) is one of the most destructive diseases of cereals today. For three consecutive years (2014–2015–2016) surveys were carried out in order to search for BYDV species (BYDV-PAV and -MAV) as well as other cereal viruses, wheat spindle streak mosaic virus (WSSMV), southern bean mosaic virus (SBMV) and barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) in seven regions of Algeria (Algiers, Boumerdes, Tipaza Médéa, Adrar, Khenchla and Batna).

Targeted samples were taken randomly from plants of different cereal species (wheat, barley, oats). The sample were analyzed by DAS-ELISA and RT-PCR.

The results of ELISA and PCR tests showed the presence of BYDV-PAV in barley, durum wheat, soft wheat and oats. Thus, this viral species were found in all the cereal regions surveyed (North, South, East and West).

Seven samples (durum wheat, barley and oats) were sequenced and phylogenetic analyses performed revealed that the Algerian sequences clustered in group I and group II.

Authors: Erol Mustafa , Kapelman Ali Enver , Kizilet Ali
Published: August 2023

Background and Study Aim. The purpose of the present study is to determine the effect of player load on the anaerobic performance of soccer players.
Material and Method. Eighty Turkish Super League U21 players (age:19.56±1.3 years, height: 180.3±2.1cm, weight: 75.9±3.7kg) were involved in this study. The players completed eight different 11v11 training games. While one team practiced the ball possession and “defense as a team” strategy, the other team implemented the counterattacking strategy. The formation was kept as “4-4-2”. The games were played as 2x20-min training matches. Maximum heart rate, player load, ratings of perceived exertion, high running speed, and sprint performances were analyzed. Pearson’s correlation analysis was used in determining the level of correlation between quantitative variables. Linear regression analyses were carried out to examine the effect of player load on anaerobic performance components in different strategies and positions.
Results. Compared to tactical strategy, player load values were found to be different from all positions (P<0.05). It was observed that maximum hearth rate, ratings of perceived exertion, high running speed, and sprint data were correlated with player load data (p<0.05). Given the results achieved from the regression analysis, it was determined that an increase in player load data caused an increment in these data.
Conclusions. In conclusion, it was observed that player load data affect position-specific anaerobic performance in football. It is thought that the use of the data related to player load, acceleration, and deceleration in the training planning in accordance with the positions of players and the team strategies will increase the performance of the athlete.
Aquatic gymnastics program to improve kinesthetic manual praxis in children with Down syndrome
Authors: Georgieva Diyana , Ivanova Veselina
Published: August 2023

Background and Study Aim. An alternative solution to improve the praxis function in children with Down syndrom is the application of modern therapeutic programs that take place in the aquatic environment. The article focuses on a study tracking the effects of a therapeutic program based on water gymnastics resources as an alternative technology to improve kinesthetic manual praxis in individuals with Down syndrome.
Material and Methods.  Thirty children with Down syndrome (aged between 9 and 11 years) participated in the experiment and were differentiated in equal numbers into two groups: experimental (undergoing an 11-month therapeutic water gymnastics course) and control (taught using traditional technologies). The research battery for tracking the dynamics in the kinesthetic organization of manual movements included three neuropsychological probes with six items each, performed separately by the fingers of both hands. The empirical data were processed according to generally accepted methods of mathematical statistics: a Shapiro-Wilk test for the assumption of normality, descriptive statistics for the dependent variables and an independent samples t- test to verify between-group differences. SPSS 16.0 statistical package was used for statistical analysis, with a level of significance α = 0.05.
Results. In the primary phase, the two groups were homogeneous in terms of the initial results of their performance in the area of fine motor movements. In the final phase, a statistically significant difference was identified between the experimental and control groups in the performance of all three probes: Reproduction of finger postures by the visual model (t = 4.053, p<0.001); Reproduction of finger postures by the kinesthetic model (t = 2.973, p<0.01); Transfer of finger postures by the kinesthetic model (t = 2.866, p<0.05). A significant improvement was registered in the experimental group's performance in all components of manual praxis (Δ= 15.70%; Δ= 12.58%;  Δ= 10.39%).
Conclusions. The positive dynamics in praxis function development within the studied domain serve as clear evidence. These changes in the realization of purposeful, pre-planned manual actions can be generated through a well-structured training and therapy program utilizing the benefits of water gymnastics as an intervention method. This is a sufficiently encouraging fact for children with Down syndrome, given the specific psychomotor profile determined by the genetic pathology.

Tratando-se de empregabilidade, travestis, transexuais e pessoas não-binárias revelam a exclusão simbólica e material que as impedem de atuar em espaços de pertencimento e decisão. O presente estudo objetivou explorar, por meio de análise temática de Braun e Clarke, as trajetórias de trabalho e experiências de emprego de travestis, transexuais e não-binárias. Sete pessoas responderam a um questionário semi-estruturado, que permitiu construir os temas apresentados. Foram discutidas as possibilidades de intervenção psicossocial em dois seguimentos: a) para travestis, transexuais e não-binárias, b) para empresas e instituições que as empregam. Tais ações visam fomentar políticas públicas e difusão dos direitos conquistados que precisam ser garantidos em todos os espaços.

Authors:   Uniwersytet Rzeszowski, Brodowski Lidia
Published: August 2023

The article addresses the issue of the concept, scope and systemic character of pardon and amnesty in correlation with the institution of extradition. It presents the divergent positions of the doctrine regarding the interpretation of the nature of the title measures and possible ways of recognizing the status of a person who has been pardoned or amnestied, and at the same time the request for extradition applies, by international agreements regulating extradition transactions. The aim of the article is to analyze the legal conditions of pardon and amnesty in comparison with binding standards in the field of extradition, both those that qualify the impediment to pardon and amnesty as an obligatory extradition impediment, and those that do not give it the indicated character. As part of the work, research methods traditionally applied in legal sciences were used, the formal-dogmatic method, the comparative method and the historical-legal method.
