Authors: Findak Vladimir
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT With the changes in the society, there should also be changes in all fields of human activity, constituting not only the fundamental science, but also its applied fields, including Kinesiological education. Issues related to kinesiological prevention are so important that the experts are not only expected but rightfully demanded to provide answers to all questions, including the possible and necessary contribution of kinesiological prevention to the quality of work in the field of education. Implementation of kinesiological prevention in the field of kinesiological education conceals vast reserves (not only in providing better quality of teaching physical and health education, but also in optimizing the efficiency of this subject throughout the education of children, students and youth).Key words: kinesiological prevention, kinesiological education, society-----SAŽETAKS promjenama u društvu, također bi trebalo biti promjena u svim područjima ljudske djelatnosti, koju čine ne samo temeljne djelatnosti, već i primjenjena područja, uključujući i kineziološku edukaciju. Pitanja vezana uz kineziološku prevenciju su toliko važna da od stručnjaka ne samo da se očekuje, već i s pravom zahtjeva da daju odgovore na sva pitanja, uključujući i mogući i potrebni doprinos kineziološke prevencije na kvalitetu rada u kineziološkom obrazovanju. Primjena kineziološke prevencije u području kineziološke edukacije skriva ogromne rezerve (ne samo u pružanju bolje kvalitete nastave tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture, nego i optimizaciji učinkovitosti ovog predmeta kroz školovanje djece, studenata i mladih).Ključne riječi: kineziološka prevencija, kineziološka edukacija, društvo

Distributed Optimization – Concepts, Ideas and Solutions
Authors: Štefek Alexandr
Published: August 2023

Abstract The optimization problem is generally defined and often solved in many scientific areas. For the solution mathematical definition is needed. This definition is usually covered by fitness function and space of possible solutions. For the process of optimum finding many determinist methods were defined. But some problems cannot be solved by using those methods. Actual state of computer science or IT availability allows using new methods which were not applicable earlier. Those methods are based on brute force. Multiple agents are exploring state space discovering new improving solutions. Some methods are well known – Particle Swarm Optimization method, Gravity Search Algorithm and many others. The optimization process with using of new multi agent based methods offers concurrent optimization. This can be done by many ways; one of them uses the distribution. This paper will discuss some aspecst of distributed optimization. There are shown structures, algorithms, subsystems which are needed for problem solution. This concept allows adapting the new optimization problems which were not known at the design time. Keywords: Optimization, Swarm based methods, PSO, GSA.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this paper is to allocate studies dealing with the identification of predictors and the definition of the importance, nature and extent of social participation of children with cerebral palsy in the school environment. A review of literature dealing with the subject will be carried out and the knowledge of the field systematized. The selected studies will be analyzed and the predictors and determinants of participation defined. Based on the analysis guidelines for the upgrade of social participation of children with cerebral palsy will be outlined and suggestions for the implementation of this knowledge in the practical work in inclusive terms given. The results suggest that there is a complex relation between disability, participation and school environment and that the predictors cannot be viewed as isolated entities but only as combined models of the interactive physical and cognitive-behavioral variables. The key steps in the professional intervention comprise the development of strategies that will enable children with cerebral palsy to take full advantage of the opportunities provided by daily school activities in terms of active social inclusion.Key words: social integration, disability, peers. -----SAŽETAKCilj rada je da se, revijalnim pregledom literature, izdvoje istraživanja koja su u svoj fokus postavila identificiranje prediktora i utvrđivanje značenja, prirode i obujma socijalne participacije djece s cerebralnom paralizom u školskom okruženju i da se, analizom izdvojenih studija, sistematiziraju saznanja iz ovog područja, što bi rezultiralo kreiranjem smjernica za unaprjeđenje društvenog sudjelovanja ove djece i implementacijom ovako sumiranih saznanja u praktičan rad u inkluzivnim uvjetima.Dobiveni rezultati upućuju na zaključak da postoji složen odnos između onesposobljenosti, participacije i školske sredine i da se prediktori ne mogu izdvojiti i promatrati kao izolirani entiteti, već isključivo kao kombinirani modeli interaktivnih fizičkih i kognitivno-bihevioralnih varijabli. Ključni koraci u stručnom interveniranju podrazumjevaju razvijanje strategija kojima će se omogućiti djeci s cerebralnom paralizom da u punoj mjeri iskoriste mogućnosti koje svakodnevne školske aktivnosti pružaju u pogledu aktivnog socijalnog uključivanja.Ključne riječi: socijalna integracija, onesposobljenost, vršnjaci.

ABSTRACT The paper presents the results of a research conducted among the fourth and fifth-year students at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb, the Faculty of Teacher Education in Zagreb and at the Faculty of Teacher Education, local branch in Petrinja. Research aim was to determine the attitudes of future class teachers and future primary and secondary school Croatian language teachers towards the standard Croatian language, as well as their level of knowledge of the morphological norm of the standard Croatian language and its successful application. Research results show that in all three groups, students possess a fairly high level of positive attitudes towards the standard Croatian language, but a fairly low level of knowledge of the morphological norm of the standard Croatian language and its successful application. Research results further indicate that there is a need for additional teaching of the morphological norm, especially in relation to the categories where the deviations are the most frequent, and, due to its effect on their future pupils, to the need for the development of the awareness among the students about the importance of acquiring the morphological norm of the standard Croatian language and its successful application. Key words: morphological norm of the standard Croatian language, knowledge of the morphological norm of the standard Croatian language, attitudes towards the standard Croatian language.-----SAŽETAKU radu su prikazani rezultati istraživanja provedenog među studentima 4. i 5. godine Filozofskog fakulteta u Zagrebu, Učiteljskog fakulteta u Zagrebu te Učiteljskog fakulteta u Zagrebu, Odsjek u Petrinji, kojemu je cilj bio utvrditi stav budućih učitelja i budućih profesora hrvatskoga jezika prema hrvatskome standardnom jeziku i stupanj njihova poznavanja i uspješne primjene morfološke standardnojezične norme.

ABSTRACT Nowadays it is very difficult to avoid the information-communication technology. It is present everywhere: in the business world, civil services, education, at home. The ability to search, choose and use relevant data and information among endless choices, offered by the modern technology, is also seen as a key competence. This article presents the influence which the ICT has on the development of four-year-old children’s competences. The present issue is a part of an extensive study which also deals with children’s access to the ICT and its usage at home. The data was gathered with the help of 130 parents, who filled out a questionnaire and provided us with their opinions about their children’s usage of the ICT at home. We discovered that the ICT influences the development of certain competences to some extent. We also tried to see if there are any differences based on the child’s gender and parents’ level of education. Key words: broad definition of ICT, home environment, learning with ICT, pre-school child-----SAŽETAK Danas je vrlo teško izbjeći informacijsko-komunikacijsku tehnologiju.

ABSTRACTIn this study we analyse the quantity and the quality of the use of computers in mathematics teaching in schools (both primary and secondary) in Serbia, observing two samples. The data for the first research was obtained through a sample consisting of 142 experienced teachers. By conducting a survey we determined the current situation regarding personal and school use of computers, and also examined whether or not computer usage was affected by some non-attitudinal (e.g., demographic) and attitudinal variables. The second research included 123 beginner teachers, applicants for the professional state teacher license. The collected data was based on our estimates of the applicants’ preparation for the practical part of the licensing examination. We examined the impact of some demographic and academic factors on the quality of computer usage. In both researches, the data collected was coded and analysed using the SPSS 13.0 statistical program (cross tabulation and appropriate tests for comparing groups). The aims of our researches were to determine the current situation and give some possible suggestions for improving computer use.Key words: beginner teachers, experienced teachers, quality of the computer use, quantity of computer use-----SAŽETAKU ovom radu analiziramo kvantitetu i kvalitetu uporabe računala u poučavanju matematike u Srbiji (u osnovnim i srednjim školama) promatrajući dva uzorka.

Abstract This paper presents a way of possible implementation of teaching process based on interdisciplinary correlation. Interdisciplinary relationship between biology (bird migration) and geography (the basic features of countries through which white storks travel to their wintering grounds in Africa) is suggested in this paper. Such interdisciplinary approach should make the teaching process effective and interesting, especially when realized through group (team) work and cooperative learning. Well-combined forms of work, teaching methods and sources of knowledge lead to a deeper students' understanding of the teaching material and its significance, which ultimately affects students' achievement. Key words: biology; bird migration; geography; interdisciplinary correlation.---Sažetak U ovome je članku dan prikaz moguće realizacije nastave utemeljene na međupredmetnoj korelaciji. Predlaže se mađupredmetni suodnos biologije (selidba ptica) i geografije (osnovna obilježja država kojima rode putuju do svojih zimovališta u Africi). Takav interdicsiplinarni pristup trebao bi nastavu učiniti učinkovitom i zanimljivom uz grupni (timski) rad i kooperativno učenje. Kvalitetno „umreženje" oblika rada, nastavnih metoda i izvora znanja vodi dubljem učeničkom razumijevanju, kao i dubljem shvaćanju smislenosti nastavnog gradiva, što u konačnici utječe na učenička postignuća.

AbstractNowadays one witnesses a rapid development of technology. Children are more prone to a faster and better acceptance of such a development. Classes must be adapted to meet the current trends and be tailored to the user. In the course of the school year there is a number of periods when pupils are absent from class due to the influenza epidemics. Based on the analysis of attendance at the level of primary and secondary education of students with special needs in the school "Milan Petrović" and the primary school "The First Brigade of Vojvodina" in Novi Sad, a team of experts of various educational profiles, have proposed that the distance learning techniques using electronic learning (E-learning) be introduced into teaching. The procedure was preceded by a survey of pupils and parents. Based on the data collected, the educational software Moodle was selected because of its accessibility and ease of use. In collaboration with the research station "Petnica" Telenor and the town Novi Sad, the Internet portal "Milanče" was created, on which interesting and stimulating lessons and teaching materials intended for children were posted. Student achievement was found to be improved but not all educational materials could be appropriately used in the electronic form.Key words: Moodle; special needs; users---SažetakSadašnje je vrijeme vrijeme naglog razvoja tehnike i tehnologije. Djeca su sklonija bržem i boljem prihvaćaju takvog razvoja. Nastava se mora prilagoditi suvremenim trendovima i biti prilagođena korisniku. Tijekom školske godine postoje periodi većeg broja izostanaka, npr. uslijed epidemija gripe. Analizom situacije u vezi s pohađanjem nastave, na razini osnovnog i srednjeg obrazovanja učenika s posebnim potrebama u ŠOSO „Milan Petrović" i OŠ „Prva vojvođanska brigada" u Novom Sadu, tim stručnjaka raznih obrazovnih profila predložio je uvođenje učenja na daljinu uporabom tehnike elektroničkog učenja (E-learning). Postupku je prethodilo anketiranje učenika i roditelja. Na temelju prikupljenih podataka odabran je obrazovni softver Moodle, zbog pristupačnosti i jednostavnosti za uporabu. U suradnji s Istraživačkom stanicom „Petnica", Telenorom i Gradom Novim Sadom nastao je internetski portal „Milanče", na kome su zanimljive i stimulativne lekcije i nastavni materijal namijenjeni učenicima. Analizom postignuća učenika utvrđeno je da se uspjeh učenika poboljšao, ali i da nisu svi nastavni sadržaji podjednako podobni za prebacivanje u elektronički oblik.Ključne riječi: korisnici; Moodle; posebne potrebe

AbstractOne of the European guidelines in the field of education focuses on the efficiency of vocational training as a way to provide solutions for the current international crisis. This paper reports on the analysis of the efficient implementation of a new vocational centre in a special context of social and economic crisis in the north of Spain. As we are dealing with the Vocational Centre of Communication, we have had the opportunity to study the strategies used by media and include them in the new model of education. Some of these features have been described as opposed to traditional methodologies: entertainment, closeness, content repetition, iconic narrative, dramatization, dynamism and simplicity, among others. This experience was organised according to the new legislation that relies on the following new features: links with the production system, a flexible training offer, and the acknowledgment of the right to receive lifelong and permanent learning. Key words: academic performance; multimedia literacy; narration strategies; technology in education; vocational education of communication.---SažetakU središtu jedne od europskih smjernica u području obrazovanja nalazi se učinkovitost stručnog usavršavanja kao načina rješavanja trenutne međunarodne krize. U ovom radu analizira se učinkoviti rad novog stručnog centra u posebnom kontekstu društvene i ekonomske krize na sjeveru Španjolske. Budući da predstavljamo Stručni centar za komunikaciju, imali smo mogućnost proučiti strategije kojima se koriste mediji i uključiti ih u novi obrazovni model. Opisana su neka od tih obilježja kao suprotnost tradicionalnim metodologijama: zabava, zatvorenost, ponavljanje sadržaja, ikonička naracija, dramatizacija, dinamika i jednostavnost. To je iskustvo organizirano u skladu s novim pravnim propisima koji počivaju na ovim karakteristikama: povezanost sa sustavom proizvodnje, fleksibilna programska ponuda i priznavanje prava na trajno, cjeloživotno učenje.

High School Pupils and University Students’ Self-regulated Efficiency and Emotions / Samoregulacijska uspješnost i emocije srednjoškolaca i studenata
Authors: Suzic Nenad , Stanković-Janković Tanja , Đurđević Snježana
Published: August 2023

AbstractIn this study, the authors explore the effect of pupils and students' self-regulated efficiency component on their positive and negative emotions regarding school and school learning. The findings show that challenge and productive learning predetermine 44% of the variance in positive feelings, while autonomy, interactive or cooperative learning as well as independent decision making are variables that are rejected in multiple regression as predictors of positive emotions. When negative emotions are introduced as mediators via a hierarchy regression model, it would appear that their reduction effect on the predictors of positive emotions is trifle, as they do not change the established relations significantly. Likewise, a model in which multiple regressions were used to test the negative components of self-regulation efficiency on negative emotions displayed similar results. Aversion, reproductive learning and execution of teachers' decisions predetermine negative emotions, but they explain only 10% of the variance, whereby positive emotions, as a mediation variable, do not change the model.Key words: challenge; negative emotions; positive emotions; productive learning; self-regulated efficiency---SažetakU ovoj studiji autori istražuju utjecaj komponenata samoregulacijske uspješnosti učenika i studenata na njihove pozitivne i negativne emocije o školi i škol¬skom učenju. Uzorkom je obuhvaćeno 366 srednjoškolaca i 535 studenata. Rezultati pokazuju da izazov i pro¬dukcijsko učenje predodređuju 44% varijance u pozitivnim osjećanjima, a da su autonomija, interaktivno ili kooperativno učenje te samostalno donošenje odluka multiplom regresijom odbačene varijable kao predik¬tori pozitivnih emocija. Kada su u hijerarhijskom regresijskom modelu kao medijator uvedene negativne emocije, pokazalo se da one neznatno smanjuju prediktore pozitivnih emocija, ali da bitno ne mijenjaju uspostavljeni odnos. Na isti način ponaša se model u kojem je multiplom regresijom testiran utjecaj negativnih kompone¬nti samoregulacijske uspješnosti na negativne emocije. Averzija, reprodukcijsko učenje i izvršava¬nje odluka nastavnika predodređuju negativne emocije, ali objašnjavaju samo 10% vari¬jance, pri čemu pozitivne emocije kao medijacijska varijabla ne mijenjaju model.Ključne riječi: izazov; negativne emo¬ci¬je; pozitivne emocije; produkcijsko učenje; samoregulacijska uspješnost

Authors: Uludag Orhan , Yaratan Huseyin
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe study examined the relationships among justice, burnout, and academic achievement using a sample (N=1,505) of undergraduate university students. The study was conducted at a university in northern part of Cyprus. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice were associated with burnout. In addition, distributive and interactional justice had a significant positive relationship with academic achievement. Procedural justice had no significant relationship with academic achievement while burnout had a negative association with students' academic achievement. Additionally, burnout was treated as a mediator between justice dimensions and academic achievement. The results of the Sobel test illustrated that burnout partially mediated the effect of distributive and interactional justice on academic achievement. The study provides discussion, limitations and directions for future research.Key words: academic achievement; burnout; conservation of resources; equity; higher education.---SažetakIstraživanje se bavi odnosima između pravednosti, sagorijevanja i akademskog uspjeha na uzorku (N=1.505) preddiplomskih sveučilišnih studenata sveučilišta u sjevernom dijelu Cipra. Hijerarhijskom regresijskom analizom testirane su hipoteze. Rezultati su pokazali da postoji povezanost između distributivne pravednosti, proceduralne pravednosti i interakcijske pravednosti sa sagorijevanjem. Nadalje, rezultati su pokazali da postoji značajan pozitivan odnos između distributivne i interakcijske pravednosti I akademskog uspjeha. Proceduralna pravednost nije bila značajno povezana s akademskim uspjehom dok je sagorijevanje bilo negativno povezano s akademskim uspjehom studenata. Osim toga, sagorijevanje je tretirano kao posrednik između dimenzija pravednosti i akademskog uspjeha.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to identify the efficacy of three different teaching methods existing in contemporary sport: the analytical, synthetic and situational methods. The sample of subjects comprised 90 boys, 9 – 10 years of age, who were beginners in basketball. A six-month program was implemented that, regarding the groups analyzed, varied only according to the selection of the motor teaching methods. The assessment of the effects of certain methods was carried out through the analysis of the development of the basic elements of basketball technique. The effects of the program were analyzed using the variance analysis. The kinesiological influence that the subjects were exposed to led to significant changes, regardless of the teaching method, in most of the applied tests for the assessment of the basic motor abilities and the specific motor skills. The biggest effects were initiated by the synthetic teaching method; the analytical method proved to be the most successful one in the most demanding elements, whereas the positive effects of the situational teaching method were manifested the least.Key words: basketball; children; teaching methods.---SažetakCilj je ovog istraživanja bio utvrditi djelotvornost metoda učenja – analitičke, sintetičke, situacijske, u poduci košarkaške igre. Uzorak ispitanika činilo je 90 dječaka uzrasta od 9 do 10 godina, košarkaških početnika. Proveden je šestomjesečni program rada koji se razlikovao jedino prema navedenim metodama učenja između odabranih podskupina. Procjena efekata pojedinih metoda učenja provedena je uvidom u razvoj specifičnih motoričkih znanja – temeljnih elemenata košarkaške tehnike i uspješnosti u igri. Učinci programa analizirani su jednosmjernom analizom varijance.Kineziološki program kojemu su bili podvrgnuti ispitanici uključivao je tri košarkaška treninga tjedno i nastavu tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture. Tijekom trajanja programa došlo je do značajnih pozitivnih promjena, neovisno o metodi učenja u svim testovima za procjenu specifičnih motoričkih znanja. Najveći pomaci kako kod većine elemenata košarkaške tehnike tako i kod uspješnosti u igri uočljivi su uvidom u rezultate grupe koja je trenirala sintetičkom metodom učenja. Analitička metoda pokazala se najprimjenjivijom kod usvajanja složenijih elemenata osnovne košarkaške tehnike, dok su pozitivni efekti situacijske metode bili najmanje izraženi. Prema dobivenim rezultatima i provedenoj analizi može se zaključiti da je za populaciju djece, košarkaških početnika, u procesu učenja košarkaške igre najprimjenjivija sintetička metoda, dok bi se analitička metoda  trebala primjenjivati u procesu učenja strukturalno složenih elemenata.      Ključne riječi: košarka; metode učenja; djeca mlađe školske dobi.

AbstractThe global economic crisis has demonstrated that Slovenia is lagging behind the more organised and globally competitive states as measured by a number of important indicators, and has exposed its lack of adequate strategies and policies to improve the situation. This paper presents findings on the work of enterprise circles and the current state of Slovenian primary schools in respect of the promotion of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. It examines those factors within schools and the broader local environment that can promote or hinder the development of creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship among pupils. The objectives are clarified by research approaches that connect empirical data to those social circumstances that affect how the issue is understood and how stakeholders explain it. The findings indicate a lack of awareness of how important it is to create links between the education system and the labour market. Teachers who have participated in activities to promote the development of creativity and innovation are more critical of their schools, while pupils still find it difficult to express themselves differently within the school system. Key words: enterprise circles; primary school; pupils; teachers---SažetakGlobalna ekonomska kriza pokazala je da Slovenija kasni za bolje organiziranim i globalno kompetitivnim državama, što je vidljivo iz mjerenja nekoliko važnih indikatora, a otkriven je i nedostatak odgovarajućih strategija i smjerova s pomoću kojih bi se situacija popravila. U radu su prikazani rezultati rada gospodarstvenih krugova i trenutno stanje osnovnih škola u Sloveniji s obzirom na promidžbu kreativnosti, inovaciju i enterprise. Proučeni su oni čimbenici unutar škola i šire lokalne okoline koji mogu promicati ili sputavati razvoj kreativnosti, inovaciju i poduzetništvo među učenicima. Ciljevi su pojašnjeni u pristupima istraživanju koje povezuju empirijske podatke s onim društvenim okolnostima koje utječu na razumijevanje tog pitanja. Rezultati ukazuju na nedostatak informiranosti o tome koliko je važno stvoriti veze između obrazovnog sustava i tržišta rada. Nastavnici koji su sudjelovali u aktivnostima koje promiču razvoj kreativnosti i inovacije puno su kritičniji prema svojim školama, dok se učenicima u okviru školskog sustava još uvijek teško izjašnjavati na drukčiji način.Ključne riječi: gospodarstveni krugovi; nastavnici; osnovna škola; učenici

Abstract This study examined whether dermatoglyphic characteristics are associated with the α-actinin isoform 3 (ACTN3) R577X sequence variant, employing descriptive and comparative approaches. Boys (N=82) were classified according to the dermatoglyphic configuration of their digital impressions into the following groups: Anaerobic Power (AP=8); Speed Resistance (SR=44); Pure Force (PF=5), and Aerobic Resistance (AR=25). All of the AP group subjects (9.76% of the subjects) had a genetic predisposition for anaerobic power performance, with 37.5% being RR homozygotes and 62.5% being RX heterozygotes. The dermatoglyphic profiles, correlated with the ALW fingerprint formulas, classified the SR group (53.66% of the subjects) as having speed resistance. The PF group (6.09% of the subjects) notably all had AL fingerprints and an absence of W. Finally, the AR group (30.49% of the subjects) had a predisposition for aerobic capacity. In conclusion, dermatoglyphic features can be associated with the R577X allelic variant of the ACTN3 gene, as much through anaerobic muscle power profiling as through the ACTN3 genotype. Key words: alpha-actinin; fingerprint; genetic polymorphism.---Sažetak Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je istražiti postoji li odnos između dermatoglifskih karakteristika i α-aktinin izomorf 3 (ACTN3) R577X varijante. U istraživanju su korišteni deskriptivni i komparativni pristup. Dječaci (N = 82) su klasificirani u skupine na temelju dermatoglifske konfiguracije njihovih digitalnih otisaka na sljedeći način: anaerobna snaga (AP = 8), otpornost pri brzini (SR = 44), čista snaga (PF = 5) i aerobna otpornost (AR = 25). Svi sudionici iz skupine AP (9,76% sudionika) imali su gensku predispoziciju za izvedbu za koju je potrebna anaerobna snaga. Od toga je 37 (5%) bilo homozigotna i 62.5% heterozigotna genotipa. Dermatoglifski profili u korelaciji s formulama otiska prstiju iznjedrili su klasifikaciju SR skupine (53.66% sudionika) kao skupinu s otpornošću pri brzini. Svi sudionici PF skupine (6.09% svih sudionika) imali su Al otiske prstiju i odsutnost W. Na kraju, AR skupina (30.49% svih sudionika) je imala predispoziciju za aerobni kapacitet. Zaključak je da dermatoglifske karakteristike mogu biti povezane s R577X aleličkom varijantom ACTN3 gena, profiliranjem anaerobne mišićne mase, kao i ACTN3 genotipa.

AbstractWithin the Croatian education system there is a great awareness of the need for quality education of future teachers and of the need to continually enforce teachers' competencies. The actual implementation of music education shows quite a different and uneven quality of work in music classes. This research aims to investigate the teachers' opinions regarding different possibilities of teaching songs within music classes in relation to the education required for 1st to 4th grade primary school teachers. The assumption is that those teachers who introduce songs in class by playing it on an instrument would state that an additional music education would be needed to manage music classes (subject teacher education), whereas those teachers who introduce songs by mere mechanical reproduction would state the opposite. The research was conducted on a group of 160 teachers by using a questionnaire with a Likert scale, and for testing the difference a t-test was used. As a result, the initial hypothesis was rejected and it was concluded that far more of those teachers who do not introduce songs by playing them on some instrument deemed that an additional music education (subject teacher education) for primary school 1st to 4th grade teachers is necessary than those who do. The situation demonstrates the need for continuous systematic work on strengthening teachers' competencies in the area of music teaching.Key words: music education; music lessons; song teaching variants; teacher competencies---SažetakU hrvatskome obrazovnom sustavu postoji velika svjesnost o potrebi kvalitetnog obrazovanja budućih učitelja i kontinuiranog jačanja učiteljskih kompetencija. Nastavna praksa izvođenja sata glazbene kulture pokazuje različitu i neujednačenu kvalitetu izvođenja nastave glazbene kulture. Ovo istraživanje želi ispitati mišljenja učitelja s obzirom na način obrade pjesme na satu glazbene kulture o potrebnom obrazovanju za izvođenje nastave glazbe od 1. do 4. razreda osnovne škole. Pretpostavlja se da će učitelji koji obrađuju pjesmu sviranjem na instrumentu smatrati da je za izvođenje nastave potrebno dodatno glazbeno obrazovanje (obrazovanje predmetnih nastavnika), a oni koji obrađuju s pomoću mehaničke reprodukcije da nije. Istraživanje koje se provodilo na 160 učitelja putem anketnih upitnika koji sadrže Likertovu skalu i ispitivanjem razlike u mišljenjima putem t-testa dovelo je do odbacivanja postavljene hipoteze i zaključka da učitelji koji ne obrađuju pjesme sviranjem na instrumentima u većoj mjeri od onih koji obrađuju smatraju da je potrebno dodatno glazbeno obrazovanje za izvođenje nastave glazbene kulture u razrednoj nastavi. Stanje pokazuje kako je potreban daljnji sustavni rad na jačanju učiteljskih kompetencija u glazbenome području.

AbstractThe primary aim of this research was to determine age and gender differences in the quality of fundamental motor skill performance - the standing long jump. The research was conducted on the sample of 72 preschool children (31 girls and 41 boys) aged 5 - 7 years, all attending preschool in Čakovec. General characteristics of the standing long jump skill were assessed using Roberton and Halverson method (1984). Data was collected by video recording the standing long jump from a side angle. The level of motor skills was evaluated by three independent judges. Age and gender differences were calculated by the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results of the analysis showed significant statistical differences in jumping skills between younger (5-6 years) and older (6-7 years) group in all the variables. No considerable differences were found in the quality of the standing long jump performance between boys and girls. Key words: preschool children; Roberton and Halverson method, video recording.---SažetakOsnovni je cilj ovog istraživanja utvrditi dobne i spolne razlike u kvaliteti usvojenosti motoričkoga znanja - skoka u dalj iz mjesta. Istraživanje je provedeno na 72 djece (31 djevojčici i 41 dječaku) u dobi od 5 do 7 godina polaznicima dječjega vrtića u Čakovcu. Primijenjena je skala (Roberton i Halverson, 1984) za procjenu razvojnih karakteristika skoka u dalj iz mjesta. Podaci su prikupljeni snimanjem videokamerom koja je bila postavljena s bočne strane. Procjenu razine znanja napravila su tri stručnjaka. Razlike između spola i dobi izračunate su univarijatnom analizom varijance (ANOVA). Rezultati su pokazali statistički značajnu razliku između mlađe i starije dobne skupine u svim varijablama. Značajne razlike između djevojčica i dječaka u kvaliteti izvedbe skoka u dalj iz mjesta nisu zapažene.Ključne riječi: djeca predškolske dobi; Roberton i Halverson metoda; snimanje videokamerom.
