Author(s): Aida Teljigović,Amina Pehlić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 18/2020

The paper is based on the idea that encouraging proper speech and language development is important for the overall children development. It has been determined that there are numerous methods and activities for encouraging speech and language development that educators can use in their work. The aim of this research was to investigate the educators’ attitudes towards the quality of their activities aimed at encouraging children’s proper speech and language development. We hypothesized that educators encourage children’s proper speech and language development, but that some aspects of their activities also discourage proper speech and language development. A descriptive-analytical survey method was used, while the data were collected by the means of a survey. The instrument used was a questionnaire for educators created for the purposes of this research. The sample comprised 27 educators employed in the Public Institution Preschool Education, Zenica. The findings showed that educators largely carry out activities aimed at encouraging proper speech and language development. However, the results related to their attitudes towards the activities aimed at encouraging and discouraging proper speech and language development indicated that, still, there are particular situations when some educators also carry out activities aimed at discouraging proper speech and language development.

Practice-Oriented Tasks for Schools: Methodology for Future Mathematics Teachers

Author(s): Marina Victorovna Egupova / Language(s): English Issue: 6/2020

This article presents the results of the research into teacher training (mathematics) at the pedagogical university. The author addresses training undergraduate students in designing practice-oriented tasks. It is discussed that such training is part of the general system of teacher training for the practical application of mathematics at schools, and the task it self is a comprehensive educational product. As part of such training, the proposed approach allows to highlight the levels of complexity of practice-oriented tasks, methodological requirements for such tasks, requirements for the educational and scientific context of the task. It has been confirmed that tasks of this type can be organised into systems with different internal organisation. Examples of practice-oriented tasks, designed by undergraduate students, are given.

Author(s): Miriam SLANÁ,Katarína Letovancová Molnárová,Michaela HROMKOVÁ / Language(s): Slovak Issue: 5/2019

Transition is defined as the process that represents an important move from one environment to another. Transition to school is a new experience for children and their family as well as a challenge that involves several socio-emotional and behavioural areas. It is not a one-off activity but a long-term process. This is a complex phenomenon, especially for children with disabilities, which requires coordination of activities and cooperation between education, health and social services and active involvement of parents. Only active and coordinated cooperation can have a significant impact on the child's healthy development, school readiness and educational outcomes. Not only children with disabilities but also their families, their teachers, and school personnel need support in the readiness for successful transition to school. The article is focused on main participants influencing the transition: child, parents, teachers, and their activities and expectations.

Razvoj fonološke svjesnosti i učenje čitanja: trogodišnje praćenje

Author(s): Svjetlana Kolić-Vehovec / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 1/2003

The aim of this study was a longitudinal follow-up of the development of different aspects of phonological awareness and reading skills of children from pre-school to the third grade of primary school. Fifty pre-schoolers attending kindergarten participated in this study. Phonological awareness and reading fluency were measured before starting school, at the beginning and the end of first grade, and at the end of the third grade, at which time reading accuracy was also examined. Results showed that children who could read before school had better phonological awareness than children who could not read, and this difference lasted until the end of the first grade. The advantage of reading fluency lasted until the end of the third grade. Regression analysis showed that pre-school phonological analysis and synthesis could significantly predict reading, fluency at the end of the first grade, apart from intellectual readiness for school. Phoneme omission at the beginning of the first grade, especially omission of the last phoneme, additionally contributes to predictions about reading fluency at the end of the first grade. Phonemic analysis and phoneme omission at the beginning of the first grade were significant predictors of reading fluency at the end of the third grade. These results showed that the basic aspects of phonological awareness are prerequisites to begjn reading, but more complex forms of phonological awareness are developed through reading, instruction.

SPREMNOST ZA OVLADAVANJE VJEŠTINAMA ČITANJA I PISANJA NA HRVATSKOME JEZIKU KOD DJECE ROMSKE NACIONALNE MANJINE ‒ JEDNAK POČETAK ZA SVE?

Author(s): Valentina Martan,Ivana Srebačić / Language(s): English,Croatian Issue: 2/2020

Over 16,000 people belong to the Roma national minority in the Republic of Croatia. Given the fact that they do not have their own standardized language and orthography, Roma children attend regular schools and regular curriculum in the Croatian language. This also implies the acquisition of reading and writing prerequisites prior to enrolment into first grade. The aim of this paper is to examine the level of acquisition of reading and writing prerequisites in Roma children and to determine whether Roma children (N = 56, 62.5% of boys, M = 6 years, 8 months, SD = 0.46) differ from children whose first language is Croatian (N = 55, 50.9% of boys; M = 6 years, 8 months, SD = 0.4) in the development of individual components of reading and writing prerequisites. Testing was performed through selected tasks from the Test for the assessment of reading and writing prerequisites (PredČip test, Kuvač Kraljević & Lenček, 2012). The results were as expected and indicate that Roma children deviate from regular achievement on most of the examined variables. In comparison to the control group of participants, Roma children demonstrated significantly lower results on almost all tested variables, apart from syllable and phonemic blending. The obtained results are an indicator of insufficient acquisition of certain components of reading and writing prerequisites in the Croatian language and insufficiently developed visual-perceptual abilities. Considering that reading and writing prerequisites are the important precondition for fluent reading and writing, it is clear that Roma children are not prepared for school education and that they demonstrate difficulties in keeping up with their peers at the beginning of formal school education. This implies the need for a systematic change of the preschool and school system with regards to this especially vulnerable group of children.

Методологична рамка за извеждане на смислообразуващи категории в методиката на обучение по биология

Author(s): Nadezhda Raycheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2021

Science could be thought as mature in cases it obtains clear terminology and methodology i.e. recognizable scientific language and object to be researched. The integrative sciences, such as the methodology of biology education, face the challenge to look for themselves “overshadow” of other sciences related to object or methodology. In search for defined territory among sciences, critically important is elucidating the categories and deducing fundamental concepts of a given science. Transfer of experience takes place in four-dimensional system – on first place, are ideas, on the second, are symbols, signs, and terms related with ideas; the third dimension is objective meaning, other words representation in reality (in culture as values – technological, ethical, aesthetical and so on) and the last dimension is methodological that marks interaction subject-object in research field. These four dimensions encompass the territory of scientific and educational sense and can be used as a methodological framework in developing fundamental categories of a specific science.

Znanost i struka: Adila Pašalić-Kreso – doprinos predškolskom odgoju i obrazovanju

Author(s): Zora Marendić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 01+02/2019

Among the many areas of pedagogical science that Professor Adila Pasalić-Kreso has dealt with, I have tried to present only one, one related to preschool education. Although this is just one segment of her rich pedagogical work, I believe she provides insight into the broad oeuvre of pedagogical issues she has dealt with in her many years of scientific and professional work. As a great humanist and prominent educator, she always deals with issues related to children and their fundamental rights guaranteed by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, to create a worldly adapted to them and their developmental needs, to individualize and include in education where every child is welcomed and equal, to help the family in the realization of their most important role, for equal dignity in education, for women’s rights and their better place in society and many other scientific topics important for the development of society as whole. Her social engagement has always been aimed at ensuring that the broader community understands and accepts the problems that our society and the state face, which undoubtedly contributed to a significant social affirmation of the pedagogical profession and science.

The comments are through the prism of children's rights and the need for a climate of trust between children and adults and freedom for determined children's activities.
