Emotional expressiveness is explained as the way family members express positive and negative emotions in their interaction with children, more precisely as the general tendency of parents to express emotions in the family. The aim of this paper is to determine the emotional expressiveness of families and to look at the differences in relation to socio-demographic characteristics (gender of the child, family structure, parents' educational and employment status). The research subjects were parents of children aged 7-11 years. The FEQ family expressiveness scale (Halberstadt, 1986) was used as an instrument in the research. The general findings of the study confirm that positive-submissive emotions are most often expressed in families, followed by positive-dominant ones, while negative emotions are expressed rarely to occasionally. The obtained data indicate that positive-submissive emotions are more often expressed in single-parent families and families with employed mothers. The presented results indicate the importance of family expressiveness for emotional education in the family because children learn how to express their emotions by imitating their parents.","PeriodicalId":31565,"journal":{"name":"Nastava i Vaspitanje","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71019773","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}

However, due to its novelty in the realm of education, there is limited empirical research on this teaching activity. Our study aims to investigate the didactic possibilities of using the educational escape room to teach German language at the university level. We designed tasks that corresponded to the language skills of 19 first-year students and incorporated them into a German language course. During the 60-minute activity, we observed the participants and then conducted a survey consisting of 11 scaled items. Using the SPSS programme, we analysed the survey data. Our results show that the educational escape room has both positive and negative aspects. While participants rated the activity positively because they were able to process and review lesson material effectively and because collaborative learning was encouraged, some had difficulty focusing on tasks while learning together. Overall, we recommend the use of the escape game as a teaching tool at tertiary level, but at the same time we would like to emphasise that more research is needed to better understand its didactic significance and to mitigate the negative effects.","PeriodicalId":31565,"journal":{"name":"Nastava i Vaspitanje","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71020119","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}

Based on the above, the primary objective of the paper is to identify the factors that influence the effectiveness of acquiring professional skills in accounting subjects in online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as factors that determine the success of online teaching based on students' views. The research was conducted on a sample of 373 students from universities in Kragujevac, Belgrade, Novi Sad and Niš. Students who attended online classes in at least one accounting subject were surveyed. In the methodological sense, the analysis of the collected data was based on the application of descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and multiple regression. The research results indicate that the factors determining the success of online teaching are the adequacy, availability, and autonomy of information and communication technologies (ICT); Internet connection, advantage and simplicity of ICT use; communication with the teacher; the readiness and competence of teachers; the impact of the pandemic; online teaching flexibility and student-perceived satisfaction.

This paper analyses the connection between EI traits and burnout among preschool teachers, as well as the relationship between these constructs and the length of their work experience. Participants in the research were preschool teachers (N = 64) employed in the preschool education system in Belgrade, Serbia. Data on the EI trait were obtained through the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue), which provides insight into certain factors of this construct, namely: Well-Being, Self-Control, Emotionality and Sociability. The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI), a version adapted for preschool teachers, was used to assess professional burnout syndrome. The results indicated the importance of Self-Control as an EI factor in predicting professional burnout, as well as significant differences in the EI Well-Being trait factor, with significantly lower scores observed in the group of teachers with the most work experience. Significantly higher scores were observed in the group of teachers with the most work experience on the scales that assess burnout related to work, burnout in working with children, as well as in terms of the total score of professional burnout. Although not a longitudinal study, the findings suggest that emotional well-being (i.e., positive emotions, optimism, and self-confidence) declines with increasing work experience, while the other domains of trait EI remain stable. At the same time, there is an increase in mental and physical fatigue and exhaustion stemming from the demands of the workplace.","PeriodicalId":31565,"journal":{"name":"Nastava i Vaspitanje","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71020476","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}

Both partners should be active during the task, with established inter-subjectivity, and the teacher providing sensitive scaffolding in the jointly formed work strategy. Although the zone of proximal development is often considered solely as an intervention in the cognitive domain, it cannot be fully understood without considering the affective side of learning. This paper analyzes the importance of affective interaction in the zone of proximal development in the cultural-historical approach to learning, and connects and supports it with contemporary findings, which suggest that the emotions of students and teachers, and their mutual affective relationship play a crucial role in all aspects of knowledge co-construction.

There is a constant need for teachers to obtain new knowledge about curricula, psychology, and pedagogy, and analyze and conduct new research regarding teaching and learning. Consequently, the Algerian authorities have attempted to introduce a comprehensive in-service training program targeting novice teachers aimed at raising their efficiency in the profession. This study aims to examine and evaluate the in-service program for newly-recruited teachers at the tertiary level organized by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research between 2016 and 2020, and offers suggestions on how to remedy and improve the current program to increase teachers' professional skills in Algeria. To achieve this aim, the views and suggestions of newly recruited teachers from different faculties of the University of El-Oued Algeria regarding the issue of in-service training were investigated. The current study is descriptive, and a structured questionnaire was administered to fifty (50) teachers, the cohorts of 2016/17 and 2017/18.

Its conceptual definitions are numerous and different, depending on their theoretical starting points. What connects them is the importance they attach to play as a divergent activity of the child in which all the child's potentials are activated. Hovewer, research around the world has shown that children in kindergartens spend considerably less time playing and exploring than doing structured activities; that their opportunities to play in open spaces are constantly decreasing; that, even when they are engaged in play, it is often superficial and chaotic; and the way in which adults perceive children's play is often inconsistent with what play represents from the children's point of view. The aim of the research presented in this paper is to look at how children perceive play - what elements of play children identify as most important, how they perceive their relationship with other children and adults while playing, and how they see learning through play. The descriptive method used relied on the techniques of drawing and interviewing. The study included 47 children aged 4 to 7. The results of the research confirm that what children find most important during play are their playmates, that adults' involvement in children's play is very low, and that children's learning through play is linked to the very experience of playing. The most significant conclusion of this research is that children are often left to their own devices in play, so it is necessary to pay more attention to their play and to support it both in the family and in the institutional context by providing children with different experiences and models of creative behaviour.","PeriodicalId":31565,"journal":{"name":"Nastava i Vaspitanje","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71019931","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}

Given the specificity of helping professions, which recognize and work within educational institutions, \"helpers\" are exposed to the greatest professional stress and the risk of burnout syndrome. The aim of this paper is to examine the contextual factors within the educational system that can influence the occurrence and development of burnout syndrome, with a focus on emphasizing the importance and possibilities of prevention through organizational changes. Therefore, the paper starts from the specificity of burnout syndrome related to helping professions, educated to provide help and support to others. After that, insights into visible or experienced consequences for employees in educational institutions are interpreted, drawing attention to their reflection on the development and education of individuals and society, as well as resources that can inhibit burnout syndrome. The conclusions of the analysis of this problem point to priority systemic tasks aimed at providing support and assistance to employees in educational institutions, viewed through three levels of a preventive approach. In this regard, the pedagogical implications of work can also be considered, as they can shed light on the specifics of burnout syndrome, recognition in practice, and adequate action to prevent consequences, most commonly through a model of self-help.","PeriodicalId":31565,"journal":{"name":"Nastava i Vaspitanje","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71020016","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}

However, there are still open questions and dilemmas in the professional community regarding the nature of the professional role of pedagogists. This paper presents the findings of research conducted with the aim of gaining a more complete understanding of the beliefs of (pre)school pedagogists about their own professional role. Data was collected through a focus group interview involving 9 pedagogists employed in preschools and schools in the city of Belgrade. Through the thematic analysis of the data obtained from the focus group, three themes were identified: the characteristics of professional work of pedagogists; the context in which the professional activity of pedagogist is realized; and the status and position of the profession. Pedagogists point out the multitude and diversity of the tasks they perform, as well as the challenges and difficulties in fulfilling their professional role. They are aware of their own responsibility in terms of affirming the status and position of the profession, both in society and within the institution. The paper raises questions for further reflection on this issue. It is concluded that creating the image of pedagogists as professionals who are proactive, who initiate and lead changes, who question and research practice, and who contribute to the development of educational quality, is a sure path to the successful realization of their professional role and the affirmation of the the profession.","PeriodicalId":31565,"journal":{"name":"Nastava i Vaspitanje","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71020189","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}

Since the 1970s it has emphasized education as an important means of achieving gender equality in society. Based on the relevance of the topic, but also the fact that very little has been written about feminist pedagogy in the Serbian language, the main aim of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the key theoretical concepts of feminist pedagogy, but also to consider the possibility of applying its ideas in the modern educational context, which is increasingly under the influence of neoliberalism. Based on an analysis of the literature, it can be concluded that feminist pedagogy is a complex concept, and its definition can differ depending on the different starting points of those who study and practice it. Nonetheless, all approaches are directed towards the same goal - the achievement of gender equality, both in education and in society. Further, it can also be concluded that the application of the ideas of feminist pedagogy could have numerous advantages in the modern educational context, but also that this application could be challenging, due to the fact that the principles of feminist pedagogy are in opposition to the principles of the dominant, neoliberal ideology.","PeriodicalId":31565,"journal":{"name":"Nastava i Vaspitanje","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71020353","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}
