This study aims to determine whether the integration of virtual reality and flipped classroom is able to increase academic performance of individuals enrolled in the course “Strategic management for the sustainable development of national and international tourism”. The study took place in the 2021/22 academic year in the department of tourism management at Zhejiang University, China. The study population consisted of 407 third-year students (54 % male and 46 % female); the mean age of the respondents was 20.81±0.94. Students in the Virtual Reality (VR) group showed 7.84 % better performance that those in the Flipped Classroom (FC) group. The percentage of difference between the VR and traditional groups was 13.01 %. Students in the FC group showed 4.79 % better performance than students in the traditional group (p 0.05). According to the respondents, the major benefits of innovative learning over traditional education methods are the support of personalized learning, flexibility, visual and auditory memory development, complete immersion into the learning process, and accessibility of learning materials. On the other hand, users reported getting addicted to the virtual world, spending a lot of money on the necessary software and hardware, experiencing reduction in interpersonal communication, and having problems with content creation. The present findings can be useful to teachers who seek to integrate innovative technologies into the learning process. Future research will focus on investigating the impact of other innovative technologies by integrating them into an online course “Analysis of the economic activity of tourist enterprises”.Key words: academic performance; flipped classroom; higher education; immersion; traditional education; virtual reality.---SažetakGlobalizacija ekonomije stvara potrebu za stručnjacima visokoga tehnološkog znanja, što stimulira digitalnu transformaciju obrazovne industrije.

In the current study, developmental differences in repetitive movement timing between preschool children and young adults were assessed. The study showed that the length of the interresponse intervals (IRI) of children was significantly shorter than IRI’s of adults, and significantly more variable. The use of Wing-Kristofferson model allowed the separation of overall variability into motor and clock components. In both groups clock-related variability was larger than the motor-related one, and again, children variance components were both significantly higher than those of young adults. The observed differences in timing accuracy, detected at the central level, were explained in light of the development of cognitive processes, especially attention, but they are likely connected to the other motor control factors such as error correction and possible use of feedback.Key words: age-related differences, motor timing, sensory-motor synchronisation, tapping, young children, W-K model.---SažetakSinkronizacija pokreta s vanjskim ritmičkim podražajima uz uporabu tapinga prstima naširoko je korištena paradigma za procjenu točnosti procjenjivanja vremena i repetitivnoga motoričkog tajminga.

Pokazalo se da je duljina intervala između odgovora (IRI) djece značajno kraća od IRI-a odraslih te da je varijabilnost značajno veća. Uporaba WingKristoffersonova modela (WK) motoričkoga tajminga omogućila je razdvajanje ukupne varijabilnosti na motoričku komponentu i komponentu sata. Varijabilitet povezan sa satom u obje skupine bio je veći od varijabiliteta povezanoga s motoričkom komponentom, a komponente varijance kod djece i ovdje su bile značajno veće nego kod mladih odraslih osoba.

The aim of this paper is to determine if there are differences in certain characteristics of participation in terms of the secondary school education programmes and academic achievement, as well as to determine the level of interaction between these variables and characteristics of participation. The examined characteristics of participation included awareness about the right to participation, readiness to participate, participation satisfaction in school and perception of teacher support for student participation. The research was conducted on a sample consisting of 1,545 students from 20 secondary schools in the Republic of Croatia. The results indicate that students with lower academic achievement tend to be less informed and less ready to participate. They also seem to be dissatisfied with opportunities for participation and perceive a lower level of teacher support for student participation, in comparison with students with very good or excellent academic achievement. It was revealed that students in vocational and art schools perceive a higher level of teacher support for student participation in comparison with students in grammar schools. The results also indicate insufficiently used student’s potential for participation. In further efforts to ensure the right to participation, it is important to examine the current methods of student participation and make it more inclusive, especially for students with lower academic achievement, regardless of their education programme. Secondary schools, regardless of the type and duration of the education programme, should create more opportunities for participation of all students, offer various participation activities and promote quality forms of dialogue between teachers and students.Keywords: academic achievement; participation; secondary school.---SažetakParticipacija učenika u školi prepoznata je kao važna vrijednost i dio kulture svake škole: u smislu poboljšanja škole kao zajednice, ali i kao prilika za vježbanje vještina građanske i političke pismenosti.

The majority of students enrolled in Faculties of Teacher Education have had very little or no musical experience before their studies. Hence, the quality of music education plays a key role in the formation of a musically competent preschool teacher. In this sense, this research aimed to determine how students of Early and Preschool Education (EPE) from one location Department of the Faculty of Teacher Education in Zagreb, assess the quality of music lessons and their readiness to conduct music activities in kindergarten. This research also sought to discover if there was a connection between those two categories and differences within them regarding demographic characteristics. For the purposes of this research, two instruments were constructed: the Scale of the Quality of Music Education and the Scale of Opinions about One’s Readiness to Conduct Kindergarten Music Activities. Descriptive analysis has showned that EPE students estimate the quality of music lessons as very high, including their own readiness to conduct music activities in kindergarten. Students with prior music education more positively assess their readiness to conduct music activities in kindergarten than students without such education, and part-time students also estimate their readiness as higher than full-time students. A significant difference was also discovered in the assessment of the quality of music education in EPE studies, which was most positively assessed by senior (third year) students, while no such difference was observed when comparing full-time and part-time students.Keywords: early and preschool education; teaching quality; music activities; preschool teachers; readiness.---SažetakKoliko će odgojitelj biti spreman za provođenje glazbenih aktivnosti u vrtiću, uvelike ovisi o njegovu prethodnu glazbenom obrazovanju (formalnom i neformalnom), osobnim afinitetima, stavovima o glazbi te količini i kvaliteti glazbenoga obrazovanja koje student ima na obrazovnom fakultetu.

Additionally, the analysis is associated with previous results on the attained and potentially implemented curriculum regarding textbook tasks and primary school students’ images of geometry.

The total of 263 teachers from regular primary schools in the central regions of Croatia participated in this research, for which an adequate questionnaire was designed. The obtained results show that teachers do not consider themselves competent for inclusive teaching, but they do support their learners with disabilities. Seniority (the duration of teaching career) has an impact on their self-evaluation related to competences for inclusion. In inferential statistics, a polystochastic model was used for making conclusions. Such findings indicate, among other things, a need for teachers’ permanent education towards inclusive teaching, especially about their stronger role in unusual life circumstances like pandemic, as well as the encouragement of teachers’ professional development and their acquisition of new competences required for inclusive teaching since teachers represent direct stakeholders in education activities. Having all this in mind, together with the aim to provide education which actively promotes the complete development of every learner, as suggested in the National Strategy of Development until 2030, it is necessary to reform processes within the system of education.Keywords: competence self-evaluation/self-estimation; education staff; inclusive education---Sažetak Cilj je istraživanja utvrditi kako učitelji procjenjuju vlastitu kompetentnost za inkluzivno poučavanje te stupanj pružanja podrške u učenju učenicima s teškoćama.

They aim to facilitate learning the musical language and elements necessary for understanding music, such as harmony, melody and rhythm. Their teaching is particular, considering that understanding musical phenomena requires systematic work on acquiring skills and knowledge. With the aim of a closer insight into the learning of theoretical music subjects, we investigated the methods and ways of organizing the teaching of the critical theoretical disciplines: Solfeggio, Harmony and Counterpoint. The research took place during the second semester of 2018/2019 school year and included 101 teachers from 24 primary and secondary music schools in 17 counties in Croatia. The results indicate that in Solfeggio, equal attention is paid to musical dictation and singing when practising intonation. At Harmony, teachers mainly implement a thoroughbass, but the most prominent method is the analysis of the examples from the literature. Species counterpoint dominate Counterpoint, but studying examples is the preferred method. Teachers’ dissatisfaction with outdated learning concepts indicates the need to modernize theoretical disciplines through content that will be transferred to musical activities and enable the acquisition of skills to learn music.

Njihov cilj je svladavanje glazbenoga jezika i elemenata potrebnih za razumijevanje glazbe, kao što su harmonija, melodija i ritam. Nastava im je izrazito specifična s obzirom na to da je za ovladavanje glazbenim fenomenima potreban sustavni rad na stjecanju vještina i znanja. S ciljem pomnijega uvida u izvođenje nastave, u radu su se istražile metode i načini organiziranja nastave ključnih teorijskih disciplina: solfeggia, harmonije i kontrapunkta. Istraživanje se odvijalo tijekom drugoga polugodišta 2018./2019. školske godine te je obuhvatilo 101 nastavnika iz 24 osnovne i srednje glazbene škole iz 17 hrvatskih županija. Rezultati ukazuju na to da se na Solfeggiu jednako posvećuje pozornost glazbenom diktatu i pjevanju primjera pri vježbanju intonacije; na Harmoniji se najviše provodi generalbas, no sljedeća najistaknutija metoda jest analiziranje primjera iz literature te da na Kontrapunktu dominiraju kontrapunktske vrste, ali se analiziranje primjera izdvaja kao poželjna metoda. Nezadovoljstvo nastavnika zastarjelim konceptima učenja pokazatelj je potrebe za osuvremenjivanjem teorijskih disciplina putem sadržaja koji će se transferirati na glazbene aktivnosti i omogućiti stjecanje vještina u svrhu učenja glazbe.Ključne riječi: glazbene škole; metode; stjecanje vještina i glazbenoga znanja; teor","PeriodicalId":341624,"journal":{"name":"Croatian Journal of Education - Hrvatski časopis za odgoj i obrazovanje","volume":" 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140994405","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}
