Two meta-themes emerged from the interpretative phenomenological analysis: Traditional Teachers That Focus on the Atmosphere and Quality of Motivation and Engagement During Question Formulation Technique Implementation. Teachers? condensed experiences were shaped by their personal and professional beliefs and values. This determined the quality and type of motivation and behaviour during school-based professional learning. Teachers emphasized that students were more behaviourally, cognitively, and socio-emotionally engaged. The functions of the QFT in Mathematics and Geography classes were considerably fulfilled, mostly in creating a classroom atmosphere where asking questions was valued.","PeriodicalId":42259,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik Instituta za Pedagoska Istrazivanja","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74297041","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 study aimed to determine whether under these novel circumstances, greater support was provided in asymmetric or symmetric interactions. More specifically, we focused on the main actors in the provision of remote learning support to secondary school students and we examined students? perceptions in different time periods during the first wave of the pandemic. Another aim was to describe the content of the support provided to students by various actors in education. This longitudinal exploratory research followed 160 secondary school students over the course of 12 weeks during which regular classes were not held at schools. Three research cycles conducted during different remote learning periods revealed that students perceived teachers and peers as the main actors in the provision of learning support. Parental learning support was not negligible, especially during the longest movement ban during the pandemic. Conversely, students seldom recognized school counselors as educational actors providing learning support. The content of the support provided by the abovementioned actors related to the cognitive, motivational, emotional, and organizational aspects of learning.","PeriodicalId":42259,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik Instituta za Pedagoska Istrazivanja","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75904641","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}

The main aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between transformational leadership, dimensions of teacher academic optimism (i.e., self-efficacy, teacher trust in parents and students, and academic emphasis), and teacher engagement. Data obtained from 420 primary and lower secondary school Serbian teachers were analyzed by utilizing structural equation modeling with latent variables. The results revealed that transformational leadership has positive effects on all dimensions of teacher academic optimism. Transformational leadership was directly associated with teacher engagement, although this relationship was not strong. Also, transformational leadership was linked to teacher engagement indirectly, via teachers? trust in parents and students and academic emphasis. The present study suggests that transformational leadership plays an important role in enhancing teacher engagement. Therefore, by strengthening transformational leadership in the school, the engagement of teachers is likely to be improved.","PeriodicalId":42259,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik Instituta za Pedagoska Istrazivanja","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81227077","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 order to determine the conditions which, favour the development of environmental awareness, a survey was conducted of students in the fourth grade of primary school, based on data from TIMSS 2019. The criterion variable was the score on the Environmental Awareness Scale, while the predictor variables included characteristics which vary at student, class, and school levels. Hierarchical linear modeling indicated the importance of variables at the individual level: home resources, literacy and numeracy readiness for school, confidence in science, usefulness of science lessons, and parent?s perceptions of their child?s school and expected student education level. None of the considered class and school level variables were significant predictors of environmental awareness. Between-school differences were fully explained by the final, retained model, but some variance (approx. 8%) between different classes remained unexplained by the considered predictor variables. We offer suggestions on how to increase the school?s contribution to the development of students? environmental awareness through the application of effective pedagogy and school improvement.

Nevertheless, parents? reports may have important limitations that need to be considered: parental positive bias; parents? understanding of the child language comprehension; and parents? education and limited linguistic knowledge. In this paper, we take the stance that parents are most interested in an adequate assessment, and obtaining reliable input from them is certainly important. We amplify the voice of parents by synthesizing their experiences with a parental report inventory as a method based on the usage of the adapted version of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory. With that aim, we conducted a qualitative inductive thematic analysis of focus group discussions and additional open-ended validation questions. Six emerging themes and sub-themes were identified and presented with illustrative quotations. Results revealed that the adaptation of original CDIs to languages with radically different morpho-syntactic structures may produce items that are hard to recognize and understand without a context. We bring to light parent-specific difficulties in performing this task and provide a critical understanding of parents? reports as a method of language development assessment. We discuss potential solutions to parents? dilemmas that inevitably arise when reporting on their child?s communication, as well as answers to researchers?/practitioners? dilemmas regarding the validity and reliability of parental reporting.","PeriodicalId":42259,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik Instituta za Pedagoska Istrazivanja","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90402472","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}

Through a literature review, we aimed to answer three research questions: 1) what are diversity awareness and critical consciousness in education; 2) why are diversity awareness and critical consciousness important; and 3) how can diversity awareness and critical consciousness be supported in teachers. The literature review has revealed that most papers on teachers? diversity awareness and critical consciousness have been published within the last few years and that the importance of the two concepts has been recognized for a wide range of educators. There seems to be a growing interest in this topic due to the increase of the diversity in classrooms and the recognition of the teachers? role in addressing diversity and inequality. However, large-scale studies would be a needed contribution to the field, as most of the existing studies are small-scale. Based on this review, we argue that both diversity awareness and critical consciousness need to be supported through preservice and in-service teacher professional development programs, if we are to make education systems more inclusive for all.","PeriodicalId":42259,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik Instituta za Pedagoska Istrazivanja","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76052075","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}

{"title":"Characteristics of play interaction in twins with autism spectrum disorder","authors":"M. Djordjević, Tamara Vukotic, N. Glumbić, P. Teovanović, Š. Golubović","doi":"10.2298/zipi2301211d","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2298/zipi2301211d","url":null,"abstract":"Play is a natural state in which children enjoy and practice various cognitive, social, and motor skills. Play observations in the natural learning environment helps practitioners and researchers to develop appropriate intervention. Previous research based on observations in the natural learning environment indicates a large gap between the behavior of children with autism and that of their peers. Although autism occurs relatively frequently in twins, research on their play interaction is scarce. The aim of this research was to determine the dominant type of play and interaction in three pairs of twins with autism spectrum disorder in an everyday school environment, the duration of interactions, the most frequent initiators of interactions, and whether there was a difference with regard to whom the social interaction was directed. Six boys with autism, i.e., three pairs of twins, participated in this research. Data was collected by employing questionnaires (A general questionnaire; ZQYT; GARS-3), as well as through observations (The Social Interaction Coding Protocol). The twins? behavior and interaction were recorded by a video camera. The results showed that twins were most frequently involved in manipulative and repetitive play, somewhat less frequently in relational play, while they did not participate in symbolic play. There was no statistically significant difference in the duration of interactions when the initiator was a twin compared to those initiated by another child, while interactions initiated by a teacher lasted significantly longer. The twins interacted with their co-twin least frequently. Furthermore, research results indicated that simple socially directed behavior was the most common type of interaction, followed by coordinated socially directed behavior. The obtained results led to the conclusion that twins with autism most frequently participate in two types of play and that the duration of their interaction varies depending on whether the initiator is a child or an adult. In children with autism, play has a significant role in the educational context. Thus, the data obtained by observing the play of twins with autism is significant for practitioners when evaluating how play characteristics can be used to plan interventions for improving the social interactions of children with autism.","PeriodicalId":42259,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik Instituta za Pedagoska Istrazivanja","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73164447","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}

Parents of pre-schoolers therefore became the primary educators responsible for the sustainability of their children?s education. Communication with teachers was the only available support resource. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between preschool teacher-parent communication (frequency, content of exchange, and satisfaction with the teacher?s support) and parental engagement in home-learning activities. An online questionnaire was sent to 1646 parents of children attending preschools. Multiple regression analysis indicated that the communication frequency between parents and preschool teachers was a significant predictor of parent engagement in home-learning activities, but the effects were small. Unexpectedly, parents more engaged in face-to-face home-learning activities were less satisfied with the teacher support. The study suggests that one-way digital communication with a clear role division between experts and parents has a limited effect on the parents? engagement and sustainability of preschool education in times of crisis.","PeriodicalId":42259,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik Instituta za Pedagoska Istrazivanja","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90221236","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}

The present study sought to examine the role of trait EI in predicting academic-related stress, while controlling basic personality traits. A sample (N=288) completed: 1) Perceptions of Academic Stress (PAS) Scale, measuring intensity of academic-related stress, 2) HEXACO PI-R comprising traits Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness and Openness, and 3) the TEIQue, examining trait EI (encompassing factors Well-Being, Self-control, Emotionality, and Sociability). The subjects in this online research were students from the University of Belgrade. Four hierarchical regression models comprising the HEXACO traits (entered 1st) and trait EI factors (entered 2nd) as predictors, and academic stress variables as criterions variables, were tested. HEXACO traits explained 8-25% of variance, while predictors of the second block incrementally explained 5-7% of the variance in academic stress. The current data suggests that specific emotion-related personality dispositions encompassed by trait EI have a significant role in predicting academic-related stress and indicates its incremental predictive validity over basic personality traits. The practical implications of the obtained results refer to the importance of programs for planned, targeted stimulation of EI in the context of education.","PeriodicalId":42259,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik Instituta za Pedagoska Istrazivanja","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90625138","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}

The aim of this research was to examine the predictive contribution of parenting styles to adolescents? capacity for mentalization. Two hundred high school students participated in the research (54.5% boys; the average age of the respondents was 17 years). The results of multiple regression analysis indicate that, when it comes to the parenting style of the mother, the dimensions of an authoritative style (regulation and connection) contribute significantly positively to an adolescent?s capacity for mentalization, while the dimensions of an authoritarian style (verbal hostility and non-reasoning) contribute significantly negatively to the development of this reflective function. When the father?s parenting style is taken into account, the dimension of an authoritative parenting style that significantly contributes to the development of mentalization is regulation, while the non-reasoning and physical coercion dimensions of an authoritarian style show a negative contribution. The main conclusion of the research is that the dimensions of an authoritative parenting style (connection and regulation) significantly contribute to the development of mentalization capacities in adolescents, while the dimensions of the authoritarian parenting style (verbal hostility of the mother, non-reasoning of both parents andphysical coercion of the father) negatively contribute to the development of mentalization. The basic pedagogical implications of the paper lead towards encouraging positive parenting styles, which would improve the overall development of children, as well as the development of their capacity for mentalization.","PeriodicalId":42259,"journal":{"name":"Zbornik Instituta za Pedagoska Istrazivanja","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84762593","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}
