Rules for operations with fractions differ from rules for operations with integers. Students face difficulties in understanding fractions, especially operations with fractions. These difficulties are well known in didactics of Mathematics throughout the world and there is a lot of research regarding problems in learning about fractions. Methods for facilitating understanding fractions have been discovered, which are essentially related to visualizing operations with fractions.

Naturally, all is good if they are used in order to acquire new knowledge or solve problems from expert subjects in technical schools, which demand large quantity of simple mathematical operations. However, what if frequent use of calculators, either pocket or those installed on every home and school computer, becomes an addiction in students who begin using them while calculating simple mathematical operations, such as multiplying or adding and detracting one-digit numbers or numbers smaller than 20, when they should know this by heart? We arrived at this hypothesis during knowledge tests for students after regular demonstrations and elaborations of Mathematics subject matter. In order to confirm or deny this hypothesis, generic/developmental method, that is, survey was used as one of research techniques (Selimović, 2013., p. 104). The survey was conducted in March during academic 2016/2017 and the sample consisted of 59 students in 2nd grade of Grammar School Tešanj.

In a sample of 200 students and 20 teachers were analyzed emotional and conative characteristics capable of above-average and below average in math-age students. The study used the descriptive method, a questionnaire and a test. The research results are presented graphically and in tabular form with an explanation and discussion. In the conclusion are set the directions which should further improve this insufficiently studied area.

Simply said, internet entered all the pores of contemporary life in big style. If used rationally, internet can truly facilitate work in all spheres of modern man’s life. However, internet also has a dark side which comes to light if its excessive use becomes internet addiction, or internet infatuation. We reached this hypothesis through everyday contact with students in class as well as our colleagues teachers. In order to determine if and to what extent internet addiction among students exists, we applied a generic method, that is, we used survey as one of techniques of research. The survey was conducted in October of academic year 2017/2018. Sample of 79 students was selectedfrom first and fourth grades in Secondary school “Muhsin Rizvić” in Kakanj.

Research paper thumbnail of A fuzzy goal programming approach to solving decentralized bi-level multi-objective linear fractional programming problems

The main goal was to find a simple algorithm with high confidence of decision-makers in the results. First, all the linear fractional programming models on the given set of constraints were solved separately. Next, all the linear fractional objective functions were linearized, membership functions of objective functions and decision variables controlled by decision-makers at the highest level calculated, and a fuzzy multi-objective linear programming model formed and solved as linear goal programming problem by using simplex algorithm. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm was investigated using an economic example, and the obtained results compared with those obtained using an existing method.

The fact that the children are all clearer, more capable and versatile, and their mathematical knowledge smaller and worse, motivated me to this research.How would our society be better you need to choose talented and creative young people who will represent the same company. One way of selecting children, and choosing the best are just competitions. In this work, attention will be focused on additional classes and competitions of teaching mathematics, as well as their importance in the education and development of children in schools.When it comes to gifted students, one of the main events where they can demonstrate their knowledge and skills are the competition.The overall objective of this research is to determine the extent to which the additional classes represented in schools and how many students go to additional classes and comp...

Research paper thumbnail of Analysis of the efficiency of the linearization techniques for solving multi-objective linear fractional programming problems by goal programming

The three linearization techniques are: (1) Taylor's polynomial linearization approximation, (2) the method of variable change, and (3) a modification of the method of variable change proposed in [20]. All three linearization techniques are presented and analyzed in two variants: (a) using the optimal value of the objective functions as the decision makers' aspirations, and (b) the decision makers' aspirations are given by the decision makers. As the criteria for the analysis we use the efficiency of the obtained solutions and the difficulties the analyst comes upon in preparing the linearization models. To analyze the applicability of the linearization techniques incorporated in the linear goal programming method we use an example of a financial structure optimization problem.

For the purposes of the research, two separate scales were created which measured the fear of mathematics at students from the perspective of parents and students. The research was conducted in the elementary schools in Central Bosnia with students of fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grades. We leave the survey questionnaire at the end, in attachment, so that it can be viewed. Analysis or data processing we worked and we got results which we´ve presented in this work. There shouldn´t be fear in the teaching process.Students shouldn´t come to school under pressure or in fear, but should find ways to motivate themselves to work because of their personal progress and training for life. Parents and teachers help them with that. Achiev...

In order to solve the problem we used sample of 647 girls from the first to the fourth grade of Grammar school, described through 16 variables of micro sociological structure and 4 variables from field of education. Data were gathered through survey. After normalization, canonic correlation analysis was conducted in order to determine linear combinations of two sets of variables. Obtained results indicate existence of one canonic factor which contains two groups of different intensity indicators where the group with larger intensity aims toward ethical values and the group with smaller intensity are aimed at competent decision making. We can conclude that population recognizes the essence of education as the system of values but with the necessity of the existence of a competent decision-making as the ultimate goal.
