The survey participants were 529 secondary school pupils from the city of Zagreb, and the instrument used was a survey questionnaire. The analysis of the results shows that Zagreb secondary school pupils are environmentally aware to some extent but that there is room for improvement in regard to their familiarity with certain concepts in the area of ecology and changing behavior related to environmental protection. The survey identified statistically significant differences in pro-environmental behavior among respondents based on gender and class year in a number of situations. The results indicate the need to continually work on raising awareness of ecological issues and environmental protection, especially in terms of familiarising pupils with fundamental ecological concepts and pro-environmental behavior.","PeriodicalId":138779,"journal":{"name":"Školski vjesnik","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129836818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As an example of such study programs, the research included 977 undergraduate freshman students of university studies: Pharmacy (N = 152); Chemistry and Chemical Technology (N=563); Food technology (N=123) and professional study of Material Protection and Recovery (N=139). The measuring instrument used to assess the student's level of knowledge of Newtonian mechanics is the Force Concept Inventory (FCI test). In all teaching programs of the observed undergraduate studies, physics courses are core courses and therefore require significant students' engagement and knowledge in order to be mastered successfully. Results show that enrolled students arrive to these studies with extremely poor knowledge of Newtonian mechanics. Among the undergraduate students of Pharmacy, 9.9% of students are at the level of Newtonian thinking; in the undergraduate study of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, 0.9%; in the undergraduate study of Food Technology, 4%; while in the undergraduate professional study of Material Protection and Recovery, there are no enrolled students who have adopted Newtonian mechanics. These results point to significant problems in high school physics teaching, as well as to problems in the quality mastery of physics course material at the observed studies.","PeriodicalId":138779,"journal":{"name":"Školski vjesnik","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130648166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses on attachment and intellectual humility as potential predictors of attitudes towards vaccination and predictors of vaccination status in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The starting hypothesis was that there is a significant correlation between attachment styles and intellectual humility and that attachment and intellectual humility can separately significantly contribute to explaining individual differences in attitudes towards vaccination and differences in vaccination status. The research was conducted in an online environment on a convenience sample of students (N = 247). Questionnaires and self-assessment scales were applied to collect general data, data on attachment styles, intellectual humility, attitudes towards vaccination and reasons for (non-)vaccination. The results showed that secure attachment and intellectual humility (especially openness to change of mind, i.e. independence of ego and intellect) can partially explain positive attitudes towards vaccination, while significant predictors of vaccination status were age, fearful attachment, independence of ego and intellect and attitudes towards vaccination. The results confirmed some previous insights about the motivation for (non-)vaccination and pointed to a small but significant role of attachment and intellectual humility in explaining both attitudes towards vaccination and health behavior in the context of the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":138779,"journal":{"name":"Školski vjesnik","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130766712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Enrollment of Roma children in preschool activities from an early age is necessary to minimize language barriers in primary classes, thus reducing discrimination of Roma children in education and, later, in employment. We studied the readiness of Roma children for school with respect to parents’ education, attendance of preschool programs and number of children in the family. We further explored the link between readiness for school and parents’ education and residence location. The experience of many countries shows that Roma are in a weak social position, and the biggest reason for this is the low level of education, which makes them unskilled to do most jobs and thus has a high unemployment rate. The plan to prepare Roma children for more successful enrollment in preschool and school activities can be structured differently to minimize the impact of the language barrier. Adapting the curriculum includes measures to provide extra tutoring and opportunities for education in the Roma language, improving schools' material conditions, and organizing remedial classes with special assistance in mastering a particular subject, summer and winter schools.","PeriodicalId":138779,"journal":{"name":"Školski vjesnik","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123379407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In formative assessment there are two different assessment processes – assessment for learning and assessment as learning. Both approaches value the idea of students’ individual progress, and they have a pedocentric orientation. The paper focuses on assessment techniques used in class, which is operationalised in the empirical section of the paper. We established a hierarchical structure of offered techniques according to the criterium of usefulness. The students expressed their views on the process of self-evaluation and peer-evaluation in four dimensions (liking, difficulty, help with learning and discomfort). The approach to research is quantitative. The results show that the techniques we can find at the bottom of the hierarchy are the techniques which require a more complex cognitive deliberation. There is a positive attitude towards self-evaluation and peer-evaluation. In establishing the difference between attitudes in the dimension of help with learning there is a lack of recognition of the potential of peer-evaluation. This paper confirms the importance of formative assessment and points to the need for further research.","PeriodicalId":138779,"journal":{"name":"Školski vjesnik","volume":"364 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123317840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By applying the qualitative methodology, we have tried to examine whether and in what way the teaching practice of SRL encourages students. The research corpus from which we sample units for qualitative thematic analysis constitutes the very content of the story. The text of the novel is, at the same time, a medium for viewing the representation of SRL elements in said content and teaching practice through the eyes of children (49 second-grade students) and teachers (7) from primary schools in Podgorica through focus group and individual interviews.The research results indicate clear SRL developmental stages of the main character in the story, according to the proposed model. Children recognise his goals, intentions, and values, supporting their insights with examples from the work itself, but also from their own experience. Teachers cite reasons for the inadequate application of SRL in teaching, such as their own insufficient preparation, overprotective upbringing of children, and beliefs about a desirable model of behaviour.","PeriodicalId":138779,"journal":{"name":"Školski vjesnik","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123597939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are general competences that are transferrable and professionindependent, and specific, professiondependent competences. Everyone uses both specific and general competences in their personal and professional life. Teachers need numerous competences to be able to do their job, and these are called pedagogical competences. Pedagogical competences, like other competences, are not static and cannot fully be acquired during professional education. Moreover, they are dynamic and require a lifetime of dedication, development, and growth. This paper discusses and suggests methods for teachers to monitor and plan the development of pedagogical competences in their everyday work so as not to become passive observers in their professional growth.

In the first phase of the research, which is presented in this paper, all primary school textbooks for grades 5-8 were analyzed, focusing on the terms at the phonological, morphological, syntactic, lexicological, and orthographical levels. The results of the textbooks analysis were compared with the terminology in contemporary school grammar books and Croatian orthography and spelling books, with the 2006 Primary School Curriculum, and with the 2019 Croatian language subject curriculum entitled the Curriculum of the Subject Croatian Language for Primary Schools and Grammar Schools. Although certain different linguistic terms can be found in new textbooks at all mentioned levels, it can still be concluded that contemporary textbooks are more consistent than previous textbooks regarding the use of linguistic terms.","PeriodicalId":138779,"journal":{"name":"Školski vjesnik","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124633740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
