The aim of this paper is to analyse the perceptions and awareness that school leavers and university students, aged between 14 and 25 in Dundee, have of the Scottish oil and gas industry in relation to skills shortage issues faced by the industry. A survey was carried out in one secondary school and one university in Dundee with a total of 145 respondents taking part in the survey. Findings indicate that school leavers and students have certain misperceptions of the Scottish oil and gas industry and hence more effort is required to communicate the attractiveness of the industry.

The rapid pace of technological innovation, globalisation and the subsequent intensified market competition have promoted the growth in the demand for, and supply of, competent workforce. Knowledge and innovation are perhaps more important than the tangible assets of a company. Every organisation has intangible assets which they do not report on their balance sheet. The rise of knowledge economy signals the growing importance of intangible assets, namely intellectual capital. For some businesses, intellectual capital is probably the key driver of value creation. Thus, knowledge constitutes the dominating resource in knowledge-oriented companies. This paper focuses on the theme of continuous education and its repercussion on the intellectual capital of companies as well as on its market value. Thus it aims to analyse the existing correlations between these variables.

The paper is aimed at emphasizing the relevance of active listening skills nowadays, when listeners are surrounded by a plethora of potentially distracting devices. In the same vein, actively listen should amount to their commitment to understanding the topics in question. Furthermore, by acknowledging the fact that active listening covers a wide array of activities ranging from ‘hearing’ to ‘responding’, listeners may step up their efforts in order to always grasp the main points of any lecture.

School anxiety in pupils with language disorders can add an additional dimension to the already existing complexity. Language disorders range from difficulties in speaking and understanding language to problems in verbal expression or reading and writing.

Teachers’ attitudes were surveyed using the survey method using the Google Forms tool. The survey was completed by 61 teachers, which is 63% of the total number of teachers teaching Croatian abroad in 17 countries in the world. The results obtained from the qualitative analysis suggest that Croatian teachers abroad face administrative, communication, organizational and professional-pedagogical problems, as well as problems in knowing the language and the educational system of the receiving countries.

The aim of this paper is to confirm the effectiveness of the education program for high school students on healthy nutrition for newborns, infants, and young children. A structured education program of four lessons on early child nutrition was created for high school students. The education program was presented to the Commission for the Protection and Promotion of Breastfeeding of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Croatia and was corrected according to the Commission’s instructions. In accordance with the approval of the Ministry of Science and Education, non-institutional teaching according to the mentioned program was carried out on a trial basis in the final grades in three high schools of the Bjelovar-Bilogora County: Čazma High School, Bartol Kašić Grubišno Polje High School and August Šenoa Garešnica High School. Adult students personally gave informed consent to participate in the research, and for underage students parents gave consent. The supervisors of the supervised peer education were students of the first and second year of the professional study of Nursing at the Technical College in Bjelovar. They were prepared for such an activity with the help of the education program organized at the Techical College. Classes were supervised by supervisors who followed the work of student educators. The effects of the education were measured by a validated Questionnaire of the intentions, attitudes and knowledge of pupils and students about breastfeeding (BIAKQ questionnaire). The intentions, attitudes and knowledge of high school students about the natural nutrition of newborns and young children were measured immediately before and after the end of the education, and the difference in the results confirmed the effectiveness of the education.

In the exercise of his/her profession, a teacher not only communicates with pupils in the field of education, but also participates in their upbringing and the formation of attitudes. It is often difficult for a novice secondary school teacher to know how he or she will communicate with pupils in the event of problematic situations. It does not have to be only communication at break time. In their paper, the authors stress the necessity of a teacher education graduate's readiness to communicate with pupils. The role-playing method seems to be a very effective method for student teachers. The text of the paper gives a concrete example for teaching educational and communication skills to future teachers with the applied role-playing method. The authors focus on the problem of possible indiscipline of students during the teaching of a selected subject at a secondary vocational school, at the same time offering variants of solving the problem situation.
