Traditionally, literacy is defined as the ability to read and write. However, broader definitions include understanding of a wide range of texts and the ability to communicate in multilingual environments. Most teacher education programmes do not provide sufficient training for the development of initial and basic foreign language literacy skills of learners, and teachers feel they do not receive enough support in this area. As a result, Slovenian pupils of English are the least proficient in reading of all the language skills, with 12% of them failing to reach A1 level in reading and 29% remaining at this level at the end of primary school (European Commission, 2012). The aim of the present study was to investigate the perceptions of English teachers (N=112) regarding the development of foreign language literacy skills in Slovenian primary schools. For this purpose, a questionnaire was used to research how teachers conceptualise the development of FL literacy, how they assess pupils’ difficulties with reading and writing tasks and the literacy areas in which they think they would need more support in their teaching. A quantitative approach and a content analysis of the open questions were used. The differences between the teacher groups were measured with the Chi-square test. The study indicated teachers’ restricted views on the meaning of literacy in the open questions, while the closed questions implied a broader understanding of the concept. Most teachers expressed a desire to gain more professional knowledge in this area. The results of the study will provide a starting point for developing more effective teacher training programmes in foreign language literacy and for supporting in-service teachers in developing foreign language literacy at primary level.

Apart from monitoring the progress of students during the teaching process, monitoring and evaluation of their independent work at home is also considered. A new approach to curriculum planning emphasizes the importance of formative evaluation, which implies monitoring and feedback about the learning process. A well-designed homework task can be an excellent indicator of progress in a student’s independent work outside of school. Creating and evaluating constructivist homework enables monitoring the development of students’ research skills as one of the two key evaluation elements in Science and Social Studies. The aim of the paper was to determine the frequency of homework evaluated by teachers and the ways teachers evaluate homework in Science and Social Studies classes. In addition, the aim was to identify the sources of homework which are mostly evaluated. A sample study included 83 primary school teachers, whose assignment, assessment and evaluation of student homework was observed by the students of the Faculty of Education in Osijek and Slavonski Brod during their professional-pedagogical practice. The study analysed 343 Science and Social Studies lessons in which homework was assigned. The results show that teachers did not evaluate a large amount of homework, or they only marked it as reviewed without any feedback about students’ progress and achievement. Therefore, the study reflects the importance of planning, creating and evaluating homework assignments in Science and Social Studies classes.

A total of 180 male and 301 female adolescents aged 10 to 17 (M=12.45 years, SD=2.66), from two primary and two secondary schools from the city of Split, participated in the study. To achieve the research goal, we administered the general data questionnaire, Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (Vulic Prtoric & Soric, 2006), Family Satisfaction Scale (Vulic Prtoric, 2004), the short-form UCLA Loneliness Scale (Russell, 1996), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965). The results indicated that female adolescents performed better in Croatian than male adolescents, who in turn assessed themselves as being more emotionally efficient than female adolescents. Regarding age, preadolescents were more satisfied, performed better academically, and exhibited higher levels of academic self-efficacy and self-esteem than older adolescents. The results of the regression analysis showed that higher academic self-efficacy and lower emotional self-efficacy were the strongest predictors of academic achievement. Research findings suggest that higher self-esteem and self-efficacy beliefs in all domains could have a protective role in well-being of adolescents and, finally, they point to the importance of developing high self-efficacy beliefs, especially academic ones, for academic achievement.

More specifically, it investigated whether DoG measured in six-year-old preschool children predicts their subsequent emotional intelligence, quality of school life and life satisfaction in higher grades of elementary school. Also, the mediating role of emotional intelligence in the relationship between delay of gratification at preschool age and subsequent quality of school life and life satisfaction was also examined. The sample comprised 141 students (48.2 % girls). Delay of gratification (DoG) was measured among six-year-old children; other measurement for one part of the sample was done at the seventh, and for the other part at the eighth grade. DoG was measured by the DoG task: children may eat one tempting treat immediately or they may earn a larger serving by waiting for an unspecified amount of time, doing assessment tasks. Other measurements included the Emotional Intelligence Scale (Wong & Low, 2002), the Quality of School Life Questionnaire (Leonard, 2002; Raboteg Šarić et al., 2009) and the Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale (Huebner, 1991). It was found that students who succeeded in delaying gratification at preschool age had subsequently higher life satisfaction, higher sense of school achievement, and higher emotional intelligence (the use of emotions to facilitate performance and regulation of emotions in the self). Mediation analyses found that the overall emotional intelligence mediates the relationship between DoG and life satisfaction. Also, the component of emotional intelligence called the Use of emotions to facilitate performance was deemed a significant mediator between DoG and a sense of scholarly achievement.

Eighty-eight boys and girls aged (mean ± SD) 11 ± 0.5 years, without any prior experience in the long jump skill acquisition, were assigned to one of the four study groups: (1) the group receiving only verbal feedback on key errors, (2) the group receiving both verbal and video feedback on key errors, (3) the group receiving both verbal and video feedback on all errors, and (4) the group receiving no feedback. Before and after an 8-week training intervention, long jump distance and relevant kinematic variables were recorded. The results indicated that the group receiving both verbal and video feedback on all errors improved the most in terms of the long jump distance. Varying feedback influenced kinematic parameters differently, as there was no consistent change in the monitored kinematic variables across groups. It was concluded that, when learning a complex motor skill in a typical Physical Education setting, elementary school children are likely to benefit the most when receiving frequent feedback (both verbal and using video analysis, focusing on all errors) in comparison with the situation in which they receive feedback reduced in the type (only verbal) and the frequency (focusing only on key errors).

The first stage was nationalism, driven by the government, from 1960 to 1994; the second stage was liberalism, which emphasized autonomy, from 1995 to 2015; and the third stage was creativity for the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, from 2016 to the present. These results indicate that the education stages of nationalism and liberalism still exist in Korea and that past education methods, such as mass education, have not been replaced. T he Fourth Industrial Revolution requires fusion and collaboration in the education sector, and a personalized learning system, which values individual talents, experiences and aptitudes, will expectedly be a crucial factor in determining the educational methods of Korea in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, as this research suggests. Key words : collaboration; creativity; fusion; mass education; personalized learning system. --- Obrazovne potrebe trebaju odražavati stvarnost drustva, a obrazovne metode ici u korak s vremenom. Cilj je ovoga istraživanja ispitati obrazovne metode u vremenu cetvrte industrijske revolucije u obrazovnom sustavu Koreje. Uzorkom istraživanja obuhvacen je korejski obrazovni sustav od 1960. do danas, u kontekstu cetvrte industrijske revolucije. Za analizu uzorka koristeni su pregled literature i deskriptivni pristup. Rezultati pokazuju da se u obrazovnom sustavu Koreje od 1960. do danas mogu razlikovati tri stadija: prvi je nacionalizam, potaknut od strane vlade, od 1960. do 1994. godine; drugi je liberalizam, koji je naglasavao autonomiju, od 1995. do 2015. i treci, kreativnost tijekom cetvrte industrijske revolucije, od 2016. do danas. Rezultati ovoga istraživanja pokazuju da su obrazovni stadiji nacionalizma i liberalizma jos uvijek prisutni u Koreji i da obrazovne metode proslosti, poput masovnoga obrazovanja, nisu prevladane. Cetvrta industrijska revolucija zahtijeva stapanje i suradnju unutar obrazovnoga sektora, a ocekuje se da personalizirani sustav ucenja, koji vrednuje pojedinacne talente, iskustva i sklonosti, bude obrazovna metoda buducnosti korejskoga obrazovanja. Stoga, ovo istraživanje pokazuje da ce personalizirani sustav ucenja biti odlucujuci cimbenik u određivanju obrazovnih metoda Koreje u periodu cetvrte industrijske revolucije. Kljucne rijeci : kreativnost; masovno obrazovanje; personalizirani sustav ucenja; stapanje; suradnja.","PeriodicalId":44438,"journal":{"name":"Croatian Journal of Education-Hrvatski Casopis Za Odgoj I Obrazovanje","volume":"35 1","pages":"9-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77696358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research instrument used is a geometrical task from the National Secondary School Leaving Exam in Croatia (State Matura). The geometrical task is presented in three versions: as a verbal problem, as a verbal problem with a corresponding image and as a problem in context. The material analysed in the present paper was collected from 182 students in 7 th and 8 th grade of Croatian urban elementary schools. The didactic potential is considered from the aspect of use of mathematical concepts and connections. The success of students in problem-solving is considered from the aspect of implementation of the problem-solving process and producing correct answers, depending on the manner in which the tasks are set up. The results show that the stand-alone problem, as a special type of problem task, has considerable didactic potential. However, the students’ skills of discovering and connecting mathematical concepts and their properties are underdeveloped. In addition, the manner in which the tasks are set up considerably affects the process of solving the task and consequently the success of that process. Based on the results of the research, proposals are given for application of stand-alone problems in teaching mathematics. Key words : isolated problem; mathematical task ; problem solving; problem evaluation. --- U radu se definira posebna vrsta problemskoga zadatka te se razmatra njegov didakticki potencijal kao i uspjesnost ucenika u rjesavanju odabranoga problema. Instrument istraživanja je geometrijski zadatak s državne mature koji se postavlja u tri inacice: kao tekstualni problem, kao tekstualni problem uz odgovarajucu sliku te kao zadatak u kontekstu. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 182 ucenika 7. i 8. razreda hrvatskih gradskih osnovnih skola. Didakticki potencijal razmatra se s aspekta iskoristivosti matematickih koncepata i veza, a uspjesnost ucenika u rjesavanju problema razmatra se s aspekta provedbe procesa rjesavanja i otkrivanja tocnoga rjesenja ovisno o nacinu postavljanja zadatka. Rezultati pokazuju da promatrani problem kao posebna vrsta problemskoga zadatka ima veliki didakticki potencijal, ali da ucenici imaju nedovoljno razvijene vjestine otkrivanja i povezivanja matematickih koncepata i njihovih svojstava. Osim toga, nacin postavljanja zadatka znacajno utjece na proces rjesavanja, a posljedicno i na uspjesnost određivanja rjesenja. Na temelju rezultata daju se prijedlozi primjene opisane vrste problema u nastavi Matematike.
