A ROMÁNIAI KÖZÉPISKOLAI MÉDIAISMERETI OKTATÁS HELYZETE A TANTERVI SZABÁLYOZÁS TÜKRÉBEN

Author(s): Elza-Emoke Veress / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 26/2014

Developing the minors’ media literacy includes decoding and interpreting media messages, distinguishing and analysing quality values. Thus understanding the media, its meaningful use, and the critical interpretation of the contents can provide the basis for the consumer consciousness education. The necessity of media pedagogy can be interpreted by the social status of the mass media, its cultural role, by the consonance existing between the functions of media and the education, and by the social needs. In this paper I intend to examine the extent to which this can be realised in Romania. My goal is to outline the state of the Romanian media literacy education based on the analysis of the curriculum. By the situation analysis associated with the needs analysis and the curriculum analysis method I look at the objectives, content, evaluation methods and teaching strategies used in the Romanian high school media education. Based on this approach I intend to outline how schools manage to take on the task of orienting media consumption.

A szelektív iskolaválasztás tényezői, motivációi és az oktatás minőségével való összefüggései a leghátrányosabb helyzetű térségekben

Author(s): Márta Kiss / Language(s): Hungarian / Issue: 4/2016

It is an individually rational choice when parents decide to take their children out of a local school if the segregation has started in that institution, however this process has very harmful consequences from the perspective of society. This collective action problem leads to disadvantaged children’s bigger lag and long term to their exclusion from integration. The Give Kids a Chance Research Group of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences has led a research project comprising 23 disadvantaged areas. Based on a large representative database the following questions are analysed: how many children are taken away from local schools in these rural areas, who are they (what kind of families are they from), what are the explanatory factors of the selective school choice and whether there is a difference of quality between the local schools and mobile children’s educational institutions.

A typical example of mental region-building? The Balkan area in Finnish schoolbooks from the late 19th century to the beginning of the 21st century

Author(s): Kari Alenius / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2013

Schoolbooks play a crucial role in the formation of one’s world view. This study analyzes how the Balkan area has been depicted in Finnish schoolbooks under the existence of the modern school system from the 1870s to the 2000s. For this study, all history and geography schoolbooks published in Finland have been examined. Of books of which there are several editions, at least the first and the last editions and any other necessary ones have been used. The familiarization of Finnish school children with the Balkan countries and peoples has occurred through two subjects, history, and foremost, through geography. Descriptions and interpretations relating to the Balkan area and its inhabitants have existed in Finnish schoolbooks from the beginning. During approximately 140 years, the amount of description and content has changed in some respects, but on the other hand, elements of clear continuity and immutability are apparent.

Author(s): Anica Arsic / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2016

Music schools are specific educational institutions which teach children tounderstand musical language, the rules of musical writing and how to play aninstrument. It is assumed that children who enroll in music school have a certain level of“musicality”, i.e. possess musical ability. Starting from this premise, in this paper wewanted to identify the number of musically gifted children, from the total number ofchildren enrolled in the first year of lower music school. The research was conducted on125 learners who enrolled the first year of Music school Josif Marinkovic in 2014/2015.The paper was organized as a linear study which followed the achievement of learnersduring the aforementioned school year. The study was conducted by solfeggio andmusical instrument teachers. The identification of musical giftedness was followedthrough the following criteria: recognition and reproduction of tones and intervals,reproduction of rhythmic models and reproduction of short music units. Solfeggioteachers monitored the first two criteria (recognition and reproduction of tones andintervals and reproduction of rhythmic models) while musical instrument teachersmonitored the other two (reproduction of melody phrases and reproduction of shortmusic units. Achievements were assessed four times during the school year and acomparison of results gathered by solfeggio and musical instrument teacher wasconducted. At the end of the school year a result analysis was conducted; the results ofwhich showed that 13 learners who were monitored by solfeggio teachers and 9learners who were monitored by music instrument teachers successfully completed thecriteria. Methods for evaluating the proposed criteria and analysis of the gatheredresults will be presented in this paper.

Adaptácia dieťaťa na základnú školu z pohľadu matiek s rôznou vzdelanostnou úrovňou.

Author(s): Zuzana Bánovcanová,Lucia Krajcovicová / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 1/2016

The contribution is dealing with a view of mothers on adaptation of the child to the primary school. Not only a child is accepting a new role of a pupil (schoolboy, schoolgirl), but parents are also accepting new duties and responsibilities which are connected to the change of a child starting a primary school. Our intention is to describe different approach of mothers, depending on their level of education, for the preparation of their child for this change to the most continuous adaptation. Our outcome is coming from analogous studies of authors from Czech-Slovak environment, which shows the diversity of approaches of mothers with higher education and lower education to the choice of school and preparation to it. In our case we describe some proceedings and strategies of these mothers, which are diverse especially in the late months of schooling, however, all mothers in our research leave the preparation of a child for school to a high extent to the nursery school.

Aktivnosti usmjerene osnaživanju nepismenih roditelja romske djece

Author(s): Maja Kutnjak / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1/2016

This paper discusses the relationship between the quality of family environment and the socio-economic status of families with regard to the impact of the impoverished family environment and educational level of parents on the early development of children. In particular it stresses the results of national surveys which indicate that Roma children are one of the most vulnerable groups of children. The paper also presents some practical guidelines for the inclusion of illiterate parents and highlights a number of programs for children of preschool and early school age and their parents from lower SES aimed at encouraging the development of literacy and other cognitive skills in children and empower parents to meet the requirements of their parental role. As one of the initial steps in the process of enhancing the cooperation and empowerment of Roma children’s parents, the paper presents research conducted by teachers and Roma assistants at Tomaš Goričanac Elementary School in Mala Subotica in the Roma settlement of Piškorovec. The main objective of the study was to determine the educational structure and the level of literacy of the adult population in Piškorovec in order to use the results for planning an intervention program which will be based on the assessed needs.

The main issue of this paper is to explore ways of spending free time by young people and their activities in and outside the school. While considering the issue of children and young people free time, there is a need to analyze the concept of after-school (extracurricular) activities, because it is a broader understanding of the concept of leisure time. Extracurricular activity shall mean all activities that young people take in their free time at school, which are held after regular classes in the school and the school is organizing them.

An Analysis of the Barriers to Inclusion of Children with Behavioural, Emotional and Social Difficulties (besd) in the Contexts of Greece and England

Author(s): Katerina Lykourgioti / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

Children with Behavioural, Emotional and Social Difficulties (BESD) are at high risk of experiencing exclusion in both England and Greece. However, this particular category of Special Educational Needs (SEN) has so far received relatively little academic or political attention in comparison to other SEN. This paper attempts to point out the barriers that may prevent the inclusion of children with BESD both in terms of the theoretical conceptualisation of the category itself and in terms of the policies and practices that England and Greece may implement. In order to achieve a further yet coherent picture of the current situation, this paper has identified three different types of factors that may negatively influence inclusion. Therefore, by discussing the possible ideological, structural, and practical challenges, the paper aims to highlight the crucial need for further theoretical insight that would be able to inform and promote the establishment of a more cohesive and efficient legislative framework for pupils with BESD in both countries.

Analogowo-cyfrowe spotkania edukacyjne w przestrzeni wczesnoszkolnej

Author(s): Teresa Piatek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2017

Education for the future and moving away from traditional teaching methods is one of the key challenges of the modern school. In this respect, the teacher–student relations may be an obstacle arising from generational differences in thinking. Students who do not know a world without computers and Internet are being taught by the teachers, who encountered computers only in their adulthood, whose brains developed at the time when the media was limited to newspapers, radio, television and landline phones, and whose thinking has a linear – analog character. Considerations concern mutual understanding and the possibility of subjective education.

Author(s): Ivanka Kirilova / Language(s): English / Issue: 3/2017

Bulgaria is on the verge of its first 4th graders’ participation in the TIMSS 2015 (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) assessment. That is why the analysis of the Curriculum and the representative textbooks is of extreme significance. It is of utmost importance to identify the areas of coincidence, as well as those, where there is a discrepancy in order to align it with the TIMSS 2015 framework. In an attempt to provide such information, in the current article, a brief content analysis is made, and some problem areas are outlined. This could lead to reconsidering the Bulgarian National Curriculum and the respective textbooks in order to improve children’s performance and to develop their knowledge and practical skills.

APPLICATION OF INQUIRY-BASED INSTRUCTION IN THE INITIAL SCIENCE TEACHING

Author(s): Marija Bošnjak,Dušanka Ž. Obadovic,Ivan Bogdanovic / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2016

Inquiry-based instruction is very important for the development of the pupils’ research skills and for easier acquiring of scientific contents. This type of teaching allows the gradual inclusion of pupils in an active learning process that leads to the development and understanding of scientific contents by asking questions and through data analysis and critical thinking. This paper presents the results of the tests of the efficacy of the model of inquiry teaching in the realization of physics contents in the initial teaching of natural sciences. The sample consisted of 112 fourth grade pupils (56 pupils in the experimental group and 56 pupils in the control group) from two elementary schools in Sombor (Serbia). The initial, the final and the repeated knowledge tests are used to measure the quality of knowledge of physics contents. Descriptive, causal and comparative methods were used for results processing. Research results analysis showed that by the use of the model of inquiry teaching higher quality of knowledge was achieved compared to the traditional approaches in the initial teaching of natural sciences.

Assessing public speaking skills of future primary school teachers

Author(s): Dan Patroc / Language(s): English / Issue: 16/2015

Starting from some trivial and empiric observation on the quality of public speaking competencies within the professional group of Romanian primary school teachers, I have designed an evaluation grid in order to assess the public speaking skills of future primary school teachers. The results of this small exercise show that public speaking is far from being a trump in the hands of future teachers. From this perspective, this article is the equivalent of a plea for the introduction of public speaking classes in teacher training programs.

Attitudes of Teachers Towards the Inclusion of Children With Special Needs in Primary and Secondary Schools

Author(s): Majda Schmidt,Ksenija Vrhovnik / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2015

Many researchers emphasize teachers’ attitudes as a decisive component in ensuring successful inclusion of students with special needs (SN students). The empirical research that is presented in the main part of this article analyzes the attitudes of primary and secondary teachers towards the inclusion of SN students with respect to the type of school, the teachers’ age, the number of SN students in the class, and the teachers’) acquired skills. A questionnaire was devised for the study, based on two previous questionnaires: the Questionnaire on Attitudes towards Integration and the Teacher Stress and Coping Questionnaire.The secondary teachers showed more positive attitudes towards SN students than did their primary colleagues, as well as towards teaching and adaptation with respect to the students’ SN and towards the psychophysical strain related to such work. The youngest group of teachers, those aged from 20 to 30, shows a higher level of agreement related to the provision of adequate support. Teachers with fewer SN students in class (up to two students) show a higher degree of support for inclusion of SN students than do other groups of teachers. Teachers without training for work with SN students in comparison with their colleagues who had it show a lower level of agreement with respect to support and assistance at educational work with SN students.
