(Ne)uspjeh učenika Roma i Hrvata u mješovitim razrednim odjelima

Author(s): Goran Lapat,Jelena Gornik / Language(s): English,Croatian / Issue: 11/2017

Marking is a very complex process and a tool for assessing a student’s knowledge. In order for the marks to be genuine indicators of student knowledge, teachers ought to take into consideration all the factors exercising an impact on students during the teaching process. Marks are objective and real when reached on the basis of knowledge evaluation and checking by using various methods. The data have shown that the number of Romany students enrolled in primary schools has increased. Nevertheless, the trend of their leaving primary school at the age of 15 is still significant. Deprived life environment, lack of elementary learning conditions, lack of support from parents and the wider community, low level of acknowledgement of education, and lack of knowledge of the teaching language are the reasons for the achievement of Romany students in primary education not equalling the results achieved by other students. The authors have researched whether Romany students and Croatian students achieve the same results on a sample of eighth-grade students in seven primary schools in the County of Međimurje. The research has shown that Romany students achieve considerably worse results than Croatian students in a mixed class. The reason lies not in the quality of teaching or the teachers, but rather in the environment these students originate from; it is therefore necessary to elevate the level of education of their parents, as well as their awareness of the importance of education as a prerequisite for achieving a higher level of life quality.

(Ne)viditeľní: transrodové deti na základných a stredných školách

Author(s): Sona Lutherová G. / Language(s): Slovak / Issue: 3/2016

The process of gender identity development in children and youth affects their daily life. With their very existence, transgender children confront the common notions of the majority about “right” boys and girls. There is a persistent pressure in different areas of social life and at schools they visit on preserving the cisnormative way of life. The study is based on a year-long research of transgender children and youth at elementary and secondary schools in Slovakia, with the support of the civic association TransFúzia. The research material consists of in-depth interviews with ten children and young people and interviews with the representatives and teachers from three selected secondary schools. The research results suggest that the self-realization of children in a school environment is influenced by various limits and barriers. These, however, arise not only from the official systemic framework for teaching and the education process in Slovakia, but also from individual notions and approaches by school authorities. The personal stories of seeking their own“self” of transgender children and youth therefore develop in different contexts and under different conditions. They present not only the specific situation of the members of this special minority, but create the image of the daily life of children and youth in a school environment.

(Nie)kwestionowane granice decyzyjności pedagoga w kształtowaniu obrazu świętości wśród dzieci?

Author(s): Anna Zellma / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2017

A teacher’s work with children of preschool and early school age focuses on achieving the teaching and educational objectives, as well as those related to childcare. The tasks include, among others, supporting pupils in shaping the image of the world, recognising different values and criteria, as well as methods of choosing them, obtaining basic social skills, and shaping moral and religious attitudes. The educator is obliged to show the children universal values and ethical principles. They also have to present role models and motivate their pupils to imitate them. All of this fosters an image of sanctity among children. When it comes to making decisions regarding the shaping of the image of sanctity among children, the teacher is restricted by educational law, especially the core curriculum of general education, as well as the school’s curriculum. This restriction applies mainly to the objectives and content of teaching and education. However, in matters of methodology, the teacher has many possibilities for creative action. They may exceed the methodologies suggested by educational law and design their own teaching innovations. With regard to shaping the image of sanctity among children, of particular note are All Saints’ Day balls, Angel Days, educational games and activities, family fairs, saints’ parades, competition and stage productions.

20 years celebrated by the Journal of Educational Sciences

Insights, academic achievements and future prospects

Author(s): Simona Sava,Anca Lustrea / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

In 2019, the Journal of the Educational Studies (JES) celebrates its 20th anniversary, which is not automatically self-explanatory, not for a Romanian scientific journal in this discipline, and not even for any other prestigious scientific journal. Our journal has faced three main challenges in this period: first, the question of language and internationalization, closely linked to the delivery mode, secondly, the changes of the institutional context, and finally, the development of the discipline. In what follows, we will outline the development of the JES according to the challenges mentioned above, give an overview of the topics and structure adopted by the JES for the last 20 years and highlight the contributions to this special edition on the topic of generational and scientific changes in educational research in this period.

2013 Fen Bilimleri Dersi Öğretim Programina İlişkin Öğretmen Görüşleri

Author(s): Sinan Muhammet Bekmezci,Özlem Ates / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 03/2018

This study aims to identify teachers' views on the science course curriculum updated in 2013. Descriptive survey research was used in this study. The sample of the research consists of science teachers (n=208) and elementary school teachers (n=104) working in Manisa. As data collection tools, a survey and a semi-structured interview form were used. According to the findings, most of the teachers think that the curriculum is an integrated program with daily life experiences, is suitable for students to be science literate, enables students to develop positive attitudes towards science, provides teachers with a freer practice opportunity and enables students to use their life skills. On the other hand, a majority of teachers reported complaints about the curriculum on grounds that there are time constraints impeding program objectives and that it is unable to stimulate students’ curiosity about scientific and technological developments. It is expected that this study contributes to the literature and curriculum updating studies.

5–8 klasių mokinių sveikos gyvensenos žinios, įgūdžiai ir įpročiai, taikant informacijosmotyvacijos-įgūdžių modelį

Author(s): Vida Gudžinskiene,Jurate Cesnaviciene / Language(s): Lithuanian / Issue: 2/2014

Currently, institutions of general education are creating preconditions for every learner to acquire knowledge on healthy lifestyle, as well as to develop correspondent skills and habits. The aim of the present article is to define the knowledge, skills and habits of healthy lifestyle of 5-8th form learners by applying the Information-Motivation-Behavioural Skills model. The research aim is concretised by the following objectives: to define the Information-Motivation- Behavioural Skills model and to identify the knowledge on healthy lifestyle of 5-8th formers, as well as to reveal the subjective evaluation of health-promoting skills and habits. Pursuing to answer the aforesaid tasks, analysis of scientific literature and empirical research, which included anonymous questionnaires for 5-8th formers of comprehensive schools (N=817: 48.7% of girls and 51.3% of boys), have been conducted. The data were processed applying the computer programme SPSS Statistics 16.0 for ‘Windows’. The following methods of mathematical-statistical analysis were applied for the analysis of the collected data: descriptive (percentage frequencies) and analytical (Pearson Chi-Square test) statistics. The Information-Motivation-Behavioural Skills (IMB) model validates the combinability of information (as the initial and essential factor of the competence of health protection and promotion), personal and social motivation (as a second important factor), and skills and habits (as a third factor) in developing health protection and promotion competence at the junior stage of adolescence. The empirical research reveals that the knowledge of more than one half of learners about health and healthy lifestyle may be defined as insufficient; whereas more than a half of research participants, i.e. 5-8th form learners, do not demonstrate firm skills of healthy lifestyle: they do not attach sufficient attention to their daily diet, physical activity, have harmful habits, whereas the knowledge on personal hygiene does not always comply with correspondent behaviour. Therefore, despite the fact that the development of learners’ competence of health protection and promotion complies with the Information-Motivation-Behavioural Skills model and creates preconditions for learners to develop positive changes in their behaviour in terms of healthy lifestyle, it is assumed that different learners need to determine only sufficient and some superficial knowledge on the issues of healthy lifestyle and condition insufficient development of health-promoting habits. It would be expedient for researchers to define the motivation of learners to acquire knowledge on healthy lifestyle and develop skills and behaviour changes in terms of the links between the acquired competences of health education and promotion.

6. SINIF SOSYAL BİLGİLER DERS KİTABINDA VATANDAŞLIK ALGISI

Author(s): Esra DERELI,Naime Adak,Ahmed Emin OSMANOGLU / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 5/2013

Citizenship status is a right that is given to the persons and it is under constitutional guarantee. In modern national states, citizenship functions around two models, which are called liberal and republican. Liberal model mostly emphasizes the constitutional rights while the republican model is more focused on obligations. In this context, the objective of this study is to compare citizenship perceptions of Turkey in terms of its social studies textbooks used in 6th grades. This study seeks answers to the following question: What type of citizenship perception comes into prominence in Turkey’s textbooks: Is it citizenship that has rights or citizenship that has obligations? Content analysis and comparative research methods are used in this research. In content analysis stage, citizenship category was identified first, and was approved by three educational sciences experts to achieve the validity of the methodologies. Research data were obtained by scanning textbooks in accordance with citizenship category. To demonstrate the reliability of the study, coding schemes were made twice by a-week apart. More than 80% agreement is achieved between the two codes. Findings were formed by identifying distributions of frequencies and percentages.

Author(s): Ahmet Delil,Bahar Yolcu Tetik / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 04/2015

In this study, 435 Turkish 8th grade High School Entrance Examination (LGS), Level Determination Examination (SBS), Middle Schools Selection and Placement Examination (OKS), and Transition From Elementary to Middle School (TEOG) mathematics examination questions of the years 1998-2015 are classified and compared in terms of TIMSS-2015 cognitive domains. Document analysis is used in order to collect and evaluate the data. Findings reveal that, of the items between years 1998-2015, 29% are in knowing, 58% in applying and 13% in reasoning cognitive domain. The results are discussed in the light of Turkey’s performances in the past years’ TIMSS technical reports. Due to the dramatic changes in cognitive domains of the questions year by year, it is concluded that there was no framework that is followed by the high stakes test developers concerning 8th graders in Turkey, but there must be.

Author(s): Kardelen Günes,Menekse Seden Tapan Broutin / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 1/2017

This study aims to study the process by which students pass to construct the Pythagorean theorem in adidactic situations in the light of didactic situations theory. The theory of didactic situation, proposed by Brousseau (1998), was experimented to be introduced and analyzed within an adidactic learning environment. Qualitative research methods were used in the research that was conceived as a case study. In this context, classroom observation made and lessons were recorded by video. The study was conducted in the Söğütlü district of Sakarya in the fall semester of the 2015-2016 school year with 27 students who are final year college students. A descriptive analysis method was used to analyze the data. As a result of this study, it is shown that students can construct the Pythagorean relationship by passing through the stages of adidactic situations.

8. ve 12. SINIF ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN ÖĞRETMEN KAVRAMINA YÖNELİK METAFORİK ALGILARI

Author(s): Yücel Gelisli,Canan Ece Büyükkaya / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 41/2019

The aim of the study was to determine the metaphorical perceptions of secondary school students in the 8th grade and high school 12th grade. According to the research findings, students produced 27 metaphors to express the concept of teacher. The students compared the concept of teacher to the metaphors of books, trees, parents, sun, light, water and stars. It is seen that metaphors formed by students are collected in 7 conceptual categories. The metaphors created by the students are gathered under the categories of “Illuminating Teacher”, “Informative Teacher”, “Formative Teacher”, “Counselor Love Expression Teacher”, “Element of Compassion Teacher”, “Inconsistent Teacher”. As a result; 8th and 12th grade students have a positive outlook in general to the teacher. However, Grade 12 students perceived their teachers with more negative characteristics than the 8th grade students

A Short Presentation on Human Cognition

Author(s): Onutz Sanda / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2017

This article proposes to explain the human cognition in a concise manner for those who are not pundits in the field. Our mind is a very complex mechanism, capable of processing acquired information rapidly and on multiple levels. A good understanding of the details of these processes has been the subject matter of many disciplines. Despite the fact that remarkable results have been obtained by inter-disciplinary studies, cognition is only partially understood. However, the cognitive mechanisms are essentially the same in any domain of knowledge be it mathematics, music, linguistics and so on.
