The multidisciplinary approach to the study of metals which we are proposing includes the modernization of the curricular content and its connection with everyday life. The use of additional teaching material in elementary schools in rural and urban areas in the wider region of the city of Niš has contributed to increased interest and activities on the part of the schoolchildren, which has in turn led to a significant quantitative improvement in their knowledge of chemistry in general, but also of metals in particular. All of the schoolchildren achieved a satisfactory level of knowledge (>50%) following the implementation of the expanded curriculum.

The article deals with the issue of incorporating the school subject technology, with its interactive content, into the system of educational subjects at elementary school. It should make a significant contribution to the technical education of pupils and their future professional orientation. Technical education is an organic part of general education, as was also underlined by the UNESCO World Organization. Already in 1974, it announced a program according to which technical education should aim at acquiring the basic knowledge in the field of technology and its practical application in solving technical problems. Our State Educational Program supports a comprehensive approach to developing pupils‘ ability to learn, act, evaluate, understand and comprehend, at a given level of education. It is a starting point and a binding document for creating an individual school educational program that takes into account specific local and regional conditions and needs.

In our paper we focus on the BUBO intervention programme applied on elementary school pupils for the period of 2 years. The intervention programme we have chosen is a part of an extended grant for Physical Education and Sports lessons at the Elementary School in Ružomberok. The focus of the intervention programme is on health-oriented physical education. The experimental group consisted of 49 pupils in the fifth and sixth grades, and included 28 girls and 21 boys. The original total number of the tested pupils was higher, but those who did not undergo the input or output evaluation for health reasons were excluded. The test took place in the school years 2015/2016 and 2016/2017. The programme was conducted in 15-minute time slots during Physical Education lessons three times a week. The principal research method was a one-group pedagogical experiment. The primary method of verifying the mobility ability levels was the Eurofit battery tests. In the results section we established that both tested groups of girls and boys exhibited positive changes after the application of the BUBO intervention programme. Both groups have improved in standing broad jump and sit and reach tests.

A study of eight multicultural suburban Swedish classes forms the backdrop of an analysis of the role of the library in students’ development towards becoming skilled readers. In-depth interviews with five teachers and one librarian involved in the classes provide empirical data, even though background information was collected with mixed research methods. The librarian’s narrative is the primary source of data in this article. The children′s educational trajectory from the preschool class to third grade is in focus. The present meta-analysis highlights the role of the library and the librarian, with respect to linkages made to the children’s overall literacy development. As a tool for analysis critical literacy theory was used, thus extending the influence of the librarian′s participation beyond the actual literacy practice, to the surrounding society. The results indicate that the library played a vital role in several ways, for teachers and students as well as for the parents. The collaboration between the librarian and the teachers started with the librarian having book talks with the children. However, she became a participant in the team’s planning and follow-up activities, linking the worlds in and out of school.

The major reform of Czech schools has not achieved its goals according to several recent studies. This paper describes mechanisms of troubled enactment of the reform in one school. First, the method of congruence analysis is presented as a tool to link the case observations and theoretical models. Then, two rival theories of educational change are sketched. The empirical part of the paper describes the school’s improvement over more than five years and the roles of different actors. The interaction between the processes of inner school development and the top-down mandated educational reform is discussed. A longitudinal qualitative case study of one comprehensive primary and lower secondary school is based mainly on interviews with school leadership, teachers and pupils, lesson observations and documentary analysis. The school with a record of successful improvement (turnover) has very skeptical attitude to the reform and implements it only formally. There is a striking difference between the school’s vision and the national reform’s discourse. The findings suggest that the theories stressing the plurality of actors involved in change and the necessary contribution of different system levels provide more plausible explanation of the reform’s results.

Apart from changing learning and teaching habits, the COVID-19 pandemic has also affected the way parents involve themselves in learning from home. This study explores the challenges parents face when participating in online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and what ways can be done to encourage students to learn mathematics online. We use multiple case studies to achieve research objectives. This study involved eight mothers of children in elementary school. Six of them are housewives, and the rest are government employees. Semi-structured interviews were used to gather data. Aside from technical constraints such as the availability of internet networks and infrastructure, the findings of this study show that technological literacy and parental involvement in cognitive, emotional, social, and pedagogical aspects are still lacking. We discussed four key findings, including issues with network availability and technological literacy, issues with parents’ routine work and how to accompany their children, parents’ beliefs about mathematics, and parental involvement in cognitive, affective, social, and pedagogical aspects. Finally, the parents’ learning community must be accommodated, developed, and assisted for their involvement to be more effective.

Many authors have spoken against controlling environments and in favour of autonomous ones. In order to estimate perceived autonomy levels in the classroom, we decided to compare teachers’ perceptions with students’ ones, gaining a more accurate idea of the autonomy levels present in the classroom. The study participants (231 students, 18 teachers) provided data which showed how the teachers’ perceptions differ from the students’ ones in all cases, generally the teachers rating autonomy levels higher than the students. We also found indicators of differences present among teachers of the same subject areas as well as in terms of the students’ gender, school and age.

In learning mathematics online, parental involvement and student engagement are very crucial for student learning development. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between parental involvement and student engagement in online mathematics learning. The participants of this study were 251 students in fourth and fifth grade from five elementary schools in Bantul, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This study employed a cross-sectional survey to achieve the research objectives. The research instruments used in this study were two sets of questionnaires: on parental involvement and student engagement adapted from previous research. This study’s findings indicated a significant relationship between parental involvement and student engagement in the online mathematics learning. The need to maximize the role of parents in learning mathematics online is the key to success in bringing students to be actively involved cognitively, socially, and emotionally.

PL
Nowadays, increasingly more attention is being paid to the issue of aggressive behaviour, primarily owing to a stronger awareness of children’s rights and parents’ responsibility to promote them. The number of systematic studies dealing with the relational level and the area of covert aggressive behaviour is limited. In the past, studies investigating aggressive behaviour primarily focused on its most typical manifestation, i.e. physical aggression. In the postmodern period, however, experts have begun to explore different forms of aggressive behaviour which are particularly typical of girls. In this study the authors focused on various forms of covert violence to which girls in elementary schools are exposed. The descriptions of behaviours provided by both teachers and girls reveal a variety of forms of covert aggression among girls as well as a range of related incidents and their causes.

The world tendencies of globalization, social and economical transformations in Ukraine build new conditions to the professional grounding of the future teachers in the elementary school. The native educational system plays accordingly a big role, which has to provide the forming of key competences and create effective conditions for this. In this context the realization of language educational competent is very important. It is a part of professional grounding of the future teachers. One of the most important parts of the language grounding is the forming of accentological literacy by the future teachers in the elementary school. It is emphasized that correct word stress is an important characteristic of speech of the individual. It is known that in the modern Ukrainian literary language there are accentuation norms that have developed during historical development of our language. Therefore, an important task of primary school teachers is to know these rules and observe them in their teaching activities. The precision of the word’s stress is a very important sign of personalities’ professional speech (including the teachers of elementary school, who build the foundation of grammatical speech of the juniors). The study of the main principles of forming the accentological concept by future teachers in the elementary school, the clearing of causes of the violation in the word’s stress by student’s speech and the ways to eliminate the mistakes are very important. There were used theoretical and empirical methods in this work. There were done the analysis and synthetic of didactic literature, linguodidactics, Ukrainian linguistic; the analysis of size and content of books and manuals of modern Ukrainian speech for students of pedagogical specialties; the analysis of oral and written language by elementary school teachers. With the help of empirical methods there were done interviews, testing and written questioning of the students. The analysis of the results shows, that there are students’ digressions from modern accentological standards. It is connected with regional peculiarities and a low level of knowledge. As a result there is a need of development of the theoretical material’s content and effective system of practical tasks that is very important in this context.

In the conditions of market economy, runaway technological changes, globalization of society the competitiveness of experts is an actual problem of nowadays, particularly in the educational activities. At modern stage of modernization of the educational system in Ukraine questions of the education quality and professional competence of comprehensive schools teachers are very actual. The research of teacher’s professional competence is very important in this context, because he/she will lay the key foundations for pupils at the first phase. In this article there are questions of forming of the linguistic competence of elementary school teachers, which is very important in the system of professional training. In the publication the definitions of the following notions are investigated: «linguistic competence», «linguistic competences»; types, matter and structure of the linguistic competence are defined; theoretical-methodological bases of Ukrainian teaching of future pedagogues are described. In the research theoretical (analysis and synthesis of the literature, state documentation in the linguistic education field) and empirical (oral test of students, questioning and testing, analysis of the students’ written works) methods of the research are used. Learning and analysis of the future teacher’s practical activity permit to affirm, that the modern level of the future teacher’s training is low. First of all it creates contradictions between new demands to the pedagogical works and professional level of the higher pedagogical school graduates, between teacher’s necessity in the following professional development and possibility of traditional education system. In this context the question of modern educational system reformation is very important. The increasing and improvement of future teacher’s knowledge storage, abilities and experiences in philological disciplines and forming the level of the professional competence is important. The research of stated question helps to form future teacher’s competence, which is an integrated result that provides ability to work practical and to use the experiment of successful work in the pedagogical sphere. The new conception of the linguistic education gives a possibility to dispose of contradictions between learning theoretical knowledge and their use in the pedagogical activity.

The article is dedicated to research problem of the preparedness of students to professional pedagogical communication from the aspect of psychological and pedagogical sciences. The special notice is dedicated to the term «preparedness to pedagogical communication», revealed its essence. From the conducted analysis of definitions «preparedness», an author offers the own understanding of this term of his essence, maintenance and components of forming preparedness of the students of faculty of primary education to professionally-pedagogical communication. In research the skills of interpersonality intercourse, which confirming preparedness of elementary school’s future teacher to realization of the professional pedagogical communication are presented. The basic indicator of development communicative culture of elementary school’s future teacher is a measure of formed structural components: educational, motivational and individual activity. We have a problem in front of the teachers to forming of competence which behave to professionally communicative activity, teaching future specialists to the rational communicative conduct appears before the teachers of professional disciplines. Realization solution of this problem provides plugging in the system of teaching of professional discipline of communicative-linguistic tasks and exercises, by facilities of interactive technologies of studies. Forming of professionally-pedagogical communication of students requires the special organization of educational process. So, learning content by interactive methods is complemented and appears as concrete linguistic models which fasten students in space educational and for educational intercourse and will use in the field of future professional activity.

The political changes after the Velvet Revolution of 1989 in Czechoslovakia fundamentally affected the life of society, including the form of education. The socialist concept of the unified school was abandoned in connection with the overall desire to decentralise and deregulate the structures created during the period of state socialism. However, the immediate impact on the life of schools can vary locally and be influenced by the nature of the environment. The study focusses on the context in which these changes impacted the everyday life of elementary schools in rural South Moravia, and it traces local specificities by analysing school chronicles and the memories of teachers who experienced the period of transformation in rural schools. It focusses in particular on personnel changes, the transformation of the relationship between schools and municipalities, and the dynamics of the influence of long-term processes of modernisation and political changes on school life.

An overview of the literature on gifted students suggests that students can be gifted by showing intelligence and/or creative abilities. Whether teachers are able to recognize intelligent and/or creative students is a matter of being skilled and can have a tremendous impact on students’ course of education. In out study, we included students of Slovenian primary schools who were either recognized as gifted or non-gifted by their teachers. To find out what differences occur in the creativity levels of gifted and non-gifted students, their creativity levels were recorded using the LV1Test, measuring their artistic-creative and artistic-appreciative abilities. Data analysis reveals that the gifted students were more successful in gaining a higher average score on the test, as well as the majority of individual items in the test.
