Author(s): Jelena Prtljaga,Radmila Palinkašević,Jovana Brkić / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2015

Graded readers have been used as second language teaching material since the end of the Second World War. They are an important source of simplified material which provides comprehensible input on all levels. It is of crucial importance for a successful usage of graded readers in the classroom and in studies which focus on graded readers, that an adequate level of graded readers is chosen. In this paper the following will be explored: the theoretical background of choosing the adequate level of graded readers, explanation of the criteria for placement of graded readers in different levels, the differences in levels between the most important publishers and the selection of the adequate level of the graded readers. Furthermore, this paper presents preliminary research results, the goal of which was to test whether assigned CEFR levels represent a sufficient criterion for the selection of graded readers without previously testing reading skills or using tests provided by the graded reader publishers. Six subjects participated in the research; they were divided into three levels of English language knowledge (A2, B1, C1). Each participant read one and listened to another graded reader. In this research an interview was used for gathering data, the key component of which were text and audio material comprehension questions. The results showed that not all graded readers used in the study were adequate and that there are grounds for conducting further research with a larger sample.

CURRICULUM LEADERSHIP: STRATEGIES FOR LINKING THE WRITTEN AND DELIVERED CURRICULUM

Author(s): Lena Damovska / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2014

The focus will be put on teachers as curriculum leaders, being challenged on a daily basis by how to attend to the delivered curriculum(the practice) without neglecting the written curriculum(the theory), and vice versa, all the while analyzing strategies that will link both curricula and implement these conclusions in their further teaching practice.Curricula present written guides identifying the content and material that should be covered, and are given to teachers (sometimes) as a detailed guide to follow religiously. However, as opposed to theory, practice is a different and delicate matter, as the teachers tries not to overstep the boundaries of the curriculum already include as much of their own creative energy as possible. These points will be expanded through analysis of the results of a qualitative research on the understanding of the content of leadership, done on pre-school and primary school teachers, whose everyday contact with their pupils will illustrate the reality of leadership in schools in the local context of R. Macedonia.Furthermore, the “how” of overcoming the challenges on the path of successful school leadership, however tricky they might be will be analyzed from firsthand experiences and compared through the matrix of what is considered able to “correct”. As educators, we successfully bridge the gap between theory and practice, to apply the theoretical know-how in a realistic classroom setting, and to convert the written paradigms into practice, thus only through educational leadership can we overcome the pedagogical challenges and effectively transfer the knowledge to the students, bringing about positive outcomes.

Nine categories, important for intercultural education were distinguished: identity, cooperation and friendship, respect, tolerance, cultural relativism, stereotype, prejudice, oppression and labeling. The results showed that the highest percent of contents promoting intercultural is found in textbooks for Civic education and History, while the lowest one in Nature and Geography. From the analyzed categories, identity is highly present, followed by cooperation, friendship and respect of the other. Themes regarding the categories such as: stereotype, prejudice, labeling and oppression are least represented and are not even mentioned as negative examples of behaviors which are not to be practiced. As a conclusion, we can say that it is very positive that depreciation and discrimination of other cultures, ethnicities or religious groups are not present.

Studies Teacher Training in Serbia, as well as educational disciplines and areas of pedagogical science derived from them. The results showed many similarities, but also differences when it comes to educational disciplines that are taught, the name of pedagogical practice, the number of classes to implement, ECTS (European Credit Transfer System), which affect the quality and coherence of educational theory and educational practice. In order to identify similarities and overcome weaknesses that accompany the pedagogical practice analysis, we came to know about the specifics of each of the six pedagogical practice. For each pedagogical practice defined specific goals and tasks arising from the curriculum, and in particular pedagogical disciplines taught at university.

Key ideas and commitment to the research emerge from the topicality of a need to examine the effects of methodologies aimed at pupils. The aim of the research is to determine the attitudes and opinions of teachers, parents, and pupils about the social and affective effects of the application of the “Step by Step” program elements in the Republic of Serbia, as well as to examine interpersonal relationships among the pupils, which are indicators of social and affective effects of teaching. Given the complexity of the set research objective, results and discussion are presented in two studies: the first study relates to the assessment of teachers, parents, and elementary school pupils on social and affective effects of teaching. The sample includes 1,617 respondents. Another study has been conducted to determine the interpersonal relationships among pupils, and the sample includes 788 elementary school pupils. Applied instruments are a questionnaire in the Likert-scale form of social and affective effects of teaching, and sociometric questionnaire. The obtained results show that teachers who apply the elements of the “Step by Step” program have more statistically significant arithmetic mean for the claims relating to the social effects in comparison to the teachers who do not apply this program. Sociometric examination confirms that positive choices of pupils are more frequent, and negative choices are less frequent in classes where applicable elements of the program “Step by Step” in relation to the classes which do not apply the elements of this program. The conclusion is that the obtained results confirm the validity of applying scientific methodology aimed at children, such as the “Step by Step” program. The implications of this research could be viewed both at the macro level (the Republic, Province, local community) and the micro level (schools, departments) of education in Serbia.

Author(s): Orhideja Shurbanovska / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2013

Why are some children lonely, aggressive or they behaving prosocially at school? This study tends to answer the research question: how are family and peer relations associated with the social behavior of the pupils in mid childhood and early adolescence (3rd grade and 7th grade pupils), respectively. The hypotheses refer to the differences in the connections of the family and peer relations with the student’s social behavior at school. The data gathered from 194 examinees were elaborated in the research, as follows: 3rd grade pupils (85) and 7th grade pupils (109). The data from third grade pupils shows that multiple correlation between family variables in regards to loneliness is more significant (R=0.639, p<0. 01) than multiple correlation of peer variables (R=0.352, p>0. 05) which is not significant. For aggressive behavior both correlations: family (R=0.494, p<0. 05) and peer variable ( R=0.489, p<0.05) are significant. For prosocially behavior both family (R=0.434, p<0.05) and peer correlations (R=0.423, p<0.05) are almost equally significant. Shyness is not significantly associated neither with family nor with peer variables. Satisfaction from school is significantly associated with peer variables (R=0.440, p<0. 05) and with family variables (R=0.482, p<0.05) too.For the seventh grade students loneliness is significantly more influenced by family variables (R=0.617, p<0.01) than by peer variables (R=0.422, p<0.01). Aggressive behavior is more significantly related to family variables (R=0.577, p<0, 01) than peer variables. From that data the conclusion is that family variables in more cases are connected with child’s social behavior at school than peer variables, in middle childhood but and in early adolescence, too.

MULTICULTURALISM AS IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTIC OF CONTEMPORARY EDUCATION

Author(s): Aneta Barakoska / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2013

The introduction of the multicultural principles in education is a result of common processes of modern societies’ democratization, requirements for law and respect of the Human Rights and Liberties, the process of globalization and the economic, technological, and cultural connection among peoples and countries.Multicultural education presents educational program which does not concern only certain minorities, but it also refers to the social groups as a whole, no matter big or small. It refers to every social group which has distinctive culture and to the disparate relations and attitudes that a group develops toward other peoples’ cultures. Some authors point out different models regarding multicultural education in Europe and the USA. Different attitudes towards multiculturalism in Europe and the USA arise from various conditions and situations of minorities.Along with these distinctions go the disparities in educational policy and attitudes towards multicultural education, values, needs, operationalization, etc. If the ‘educational ideal’ means formation of new citizen that would live in multicultural society, than ‘additional’ programs for education of children based on interculturalism and multiculturalism must be created. The subject matters of the ‘additional’ programs should be incorporated in every general educational subject. Schools should play an important role in encouraging multiculturalism, especially the multinational schools, because they are concrete educational institutions where children are taught proper behavior.

The purpose of the present paper is to show the need and the potential of play activities in the elementary grades so that children quickly and easily overcome fitness problems in the transition from pre-school to the school system of education, and to at least partially alleviate the existing problem of discontinuity.The sudden transition from the system of playing activities in the system of learning activities, based on the implementation of tasks under strict guidelines, can hardly match the current developmental abilities and needs of children. Therefore, various problems occur in the work of first-graders: it is difficult to attract his attention, he finds it difficult to work and school homework, forgets what he just heard, does not concentrate long enough, soon he gets bored in class activities, fidget, real careless mistakes, constantly repeating the same mistakes.At the very beginning of their education, which in some ways represents a transitional period, a part of learning activities should be organized through the game, in order to overcome resistance to school.To make it faster and easier to overcome adaptive problems of children in the school environment and learning today in educational theory and practice, we try to find a solution for the organization of educational and play activities in the learning process, at least when it comes to the junior grade.

Author(s): Slađana Zuković,Jovana J. Milutinović,Senka Slijepčević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 2/2016

Starting with the premise that continuous professional development should be one of the priorities of the educational policy, this paper points out the need to review, reorganize and improve existing and to develop new methods and forms of professional development of experts in the field of education. One of the methods that can significantly contribute to the improvement of professional competencies of the employees in education and upbringing is supervision. Accordingly, this paper is aimed at reviewing the assumptions of developing supervision in the institutions of formal and informal education. Starting from the definition, characteristics and key functions of supervision, special emphasis was placed on analyzing the potentials of the developmental-integrative model of supervision, as a model that proved to be the most appropriate framework for the efficient and effective supervision in the upbringing and educational field. Other than that, the basic assumptions, necessary conditions and obstacles for the implementation and development supervision in the institutions of formal and informal education were discussed. Before thinking about the implementation of developmental-integrative supervision, it is necessary to create a clear picture of the concept of supervision and its functions on all levels of teaching practice (from educational policy to any individual institution). The emphasis in this process would be to introduce professionals in the upbringing and educational field with the purpose and functions supervision that should not be focused solely on the control and sanction. It is especially important to note the supporting-assisting and teaching function of supervision, and point to the different benefits of supervision. The conclusion is that the supervision, especially developmental-integrative supervision, should be recognized as the preferred method that provides continuity and sustainability in the professional development of the individual, as well as expert support to employees in the upbringing and educational field after they got out of the formal educational system.
