Based on previous teachers' research of opinions on the quality of the upcoming students generations related to general knowledge, motor skills, attention, concentration and vocabulary it was noted that the path goes in descending levels. The problematic issue is focused on the future trend of new generations of students, i.e. whether the existing trend of negative results of PISA research and national research will: 1) stagnate 2) continue or 3) be positively reversed by using new learning methods. The research involved 172 pupils (aged 11 to 13) who attend the fifth and sixth grade of elementary schools in Republic of Serbia. We have interviewed two groups: experimental and control one. Pupils from the experimental group have studied and followed the program by Nikol...

The researches that shows the importance of movement for children, especially before primary school, are presented. One of the basic principles of the NTC learning system is to help children, parents and educators for a whole development, in order to achieve the full potential of the child. To gain this result the NTC learning system provides exercises that include rotation, balance, dynamic accommodation of the eye, fine motoric, stimulation of the foot, coordination eye - hand, speech, etc.. The paper presents also the importance of usage the Information and communication technologies (ICT) for educational purposes and for a proper use of ICT in education. The second part of the paper presents the results of a pilot research project on the NTC camps held in Croatia and Serbia. The population analysed is a sample of 68 kids from Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia and Hercegovina from 7 to 12 years old. The aim was to ...

The question we propose to answer is how long children uses ICT devices during school days and over the weekend, and how much time children use the same devices during school days and during the weekends. The research presented in the paper shows that sedentary life is very dangerous for children, especially in the preschool and primary school period. Our research shows that 5-8 of our children are under high risk, while 34 are under risk in relation to their biological development.

Experience of boredom, often termed as a disease of the modern world, is tightly related to regulation of attention. In the light of a rapidly changing environment, irrevocably followed by a change in cognitive style and most probably, a change in the preferred form of knowledge acquisition, the aim of this study was to explore the current opinion of school children (5th and 6th grade) regarding their fondness for school, the amount of time spent on their smartphone/PC and their learning approach and need for changing the learning method. We conclude that, in order for children to be more satisfied with school and their achievement, it is necessary to start a diligent implementation of a well-designed ICT in classroom.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of NTC (Nikola Tesla Centre) Program of physical exercise on the development of preschool children’s motor skills. A longitudinal study was performed in state kindergartens with two parallel groups, one of which applied the NTC Program for a period of 6 months, while the second group applied the usual exercise program. The sample consisted of two groups of children aged 4 to 6. The children’s motor abilities were estimated by a battery of tests, BOT 2, comprising 14 subtests. On the basis of the applied statistical analyses it was determined that children in the experimental group achieved significant improvement on the motor skills test. Bearing in mind the fact that for the development of motor abilities the preschool...

The aim of this study was to compare children’s play time with parents’ play time at their child’s age, as well as the elements of play. A survey was conducted among parents of children aged 6 to 8 years. The results of the survey, which was based on a sample of 37 parents, showed that a child nowadays spends more time playing at home (110 minutes/day on average compared to the 96 minutes/day their parents played as children) and, conversely, with a statistically significant difference, only half the time their parents did playing outside (96 minutes/day on average compared to the 157 minutes/day on average that their parents spent at the same age). We also found a statistically significant difference in screen time in children today (93 minutes/day on average), which is three times as much as it used to be in t...

There is a connection between the number of synapsis and the cognitive performance. The NTC system starts from the correct development of the biological potential and ends with the development of complex cognitive functions. One of the biggest change in human life is the massive use of ICT technologies. There are some risks connected to the improper use of the ICT. These risks are presented together with the suggestion to educate the parents as they are the first responsible for how much their kid will use the ICT.

Movement is a very important factor in the proper growth and development of the organism. Through the play and physical activities preschool children learn and develop motor skills which will provide a solid basis for prospective complex motor skills mastering. A movement is an integral part of children's everyday life. Numerous studies have confirmed that the function of movement in children is not only fun and entertainment, but it also represents a powerful means of physical, mental, emotional and social development of a child. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of NTC (Nikola Tesla Centre) Programme of physical exercise on the development of preschool children motor skills. A longitudinal study was performed in state kindergartens with two parallel gro...

This article concentrates on the usage of new information and communication technologies and TV among children from seven to ten years of life. The lack of movement and a sedentary lifestyle accompanied by the often usage of devices available to them may lead towards certain disorders among younger children (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, growing number of children with flat feet), especially among children starting the first grade of elementary schools. This article shows a part of research conducted on a representative sample of 1286 subjects in Croatia, Italy and Serbia. In accordance with the needs of this article, the presented results were obtained by analyzing the following variables: time spent in front of the TV and computer daily and during the weekends, ownership of a smartphone, if the rules of the usage of a smartphone are set beforehand by parents/guardians/caretakers, usage of smartphones for accessing on-line video games and if the subjects use smartphones in class without the awareness of teachers and for their personal needs that don't involve the class program.

The research included 286 students of seventh and eighth grade in four elementary schools in Serbia. The data were collected via survey method and processed using the SPSS software package. The questionnaire was the instrument used in the research, and descriptive-analytical method was used for data interpretation. The research results demonstrate that students with excellent academic performance show a high level of responsibility concerning regular studying, whilst students with good and satisfactory academic performance do not. Likewise, the students with excellent academic performance to a greater extent perceive studying as a positive activity, in comparison to the students with poorer academic performance. A positive correlation of medium intensity was recorded between the variables of regular studying and doing homework regularl...

The subject and problem relate to the observation of the effects of the project "Smart Children Network-SMART", code: 1286, which is based on the NTC learning system with the emphasis on encouraging the development of critical thinking, therefore, only the findings related to teacher assessment of the instructions for application of the mentioned program are given. The question posed in this part of the research are related to: how educators evaluate the content of the NTC program, i.e. the instructions they were involved in and which presented the basis for the program implementation, i.e. whether they are equally valued and based on this, the program effectiveness is evaluated, i.e. the need for further clarification of certain contents from the NTC program for its more effective methodical interpretation.

Istraživanje je vršeno na hotimičnom uzorku (N= 23). Teorijsku osnovu predstavlja Ozbornov sistem razvijanja stvaralaštva, koji je zasnovan na sledećim psihološkim mehanizmima: istraži i isprobaj druge mogućnosti primene ideja; adaptiraj, modifikuj, povećaj, smanji, redukuj, kondenzuj; supstituiraj; izmeni redosled elemenata; sve preobrni; kombinuj dve ili više ideja (Kvaščev, 1981) i Toransov (Torancce, prema Kvaščev, R., o. c.) sistem razvijanja stvaralaštva čija je teorijska osnova u: otkrivanju višeznačnosti datih činjenica i povećavanju vrednosti datih informacija; razvijanju strategija stvaralačkog učenja putem otkrića; razvijanju motivacionih komponenti stvaralaštva; sintezi empirijskog istraživanja i teorijskog uopštavanja; asocijativnoj osnovi otkrića; pronalaženju novog na osnovu nekompletnih činjenica i nedovoljno strukturisanog materijala; individualizaciji stvaralačkog učenja prema kognitivnom razvoju ispitanika (Kvaščev, R., o. c.). Metoda istraživanja je eksperiment sa jednom grupom, a inicijalno i finalno ispitivanje rađeno je zadacima divergentne produkcije (Stojaković, 2009). Osnovni nalaz odnosi se na: statistička značajnost napredovanja nakon primene NTC sistema pruža indicije značajnog doprinosa NTC sistema učenja razvoju divergentnog mišljenja, dakle, potvrđuje polazno uverenje-pretpostavku o mogućnostima transfera, odnosno o mogućnosti da zadaci zasićeni procesima stvaralačkog mišljenja, kreativne imaginacije, inventivnosti i divergentne produkcije korićeni u NTC sistemu učenja utiču na oslobađanje od konformističkog mišljenja i daju bolje efekte u divergentnoj produkciji. Didaktičke implikacije ovoga odnose se na sledeće: efekti NTC programa, posmatrani ovim eksplorativnim istraživanjem, potvrđuju praktične aspekte teorijskih ideja koje su do nas došle kao posledica kognitivne revolucije i istraživanja kreativnosti (v. Ozborn, Torans, Kvaščev...), a koje su našle svoj praktični izraz u sadržajima programa kojima se efikasno podstiče uticaj rane

У истраживању су учествовала 194 ученика осмог разреда из четири основне школе на подручју Србије. Резултати истраживања су показали да је нешто мање од половине испитаника задовољно школом, али не и учењем. Нешто више од 40% је исказало негативно мишљење о школском учењу, а око 40% је индиферентно. У погледу односа ученика према различитим врстама провере знања, изражен је страх од усменог одговарања пред наставником. Истраживањем је утврђено да се ученици разликују у (само)процени сопствене активности на часовима различитих наставних предмета. Школе умногоме доприносе позитивном прилагођавању ученика када функционишу као психолошки здраво окружење за развој, што резултира већим ученичким задовољством школом. aктивност ученика, настава, школа, учење Увод Образовање се често схвата као један од основних стубова друштва. Стога је важно унапређивати праксу образовања и функционисања образовног система, али и испитивати и пратити њене ефекте. Истраживања у којима је испитивано задовољства ученика школом и учењем показала су јаку повезаност са целокупним задовољством животом (Huebner, 2004; Huebner, Suldo, Smith & McKnight, 2004; Randolph, Kangas & Ruokamo, 2010). Задовољство школом представља конструкт који се односи на субјективну процену задовољства различитим аспектима школе и евалуацију тога како се ученик осећа док је у њој (Jovanović i Jerković, 2011). Према резултатима истраживања Јовановић и Јерковић (2011), око трећине ученика се не радује одласку у школу, а такође око трећине не ужива у школским активностима. У оквиру истраживања Рандолфа и сарадника (Randolph et al., 2010) показано је да су ученици
