Raziskovanje v vzgoji in izobraževanju: mednarodni vidiki vzgoje in izobraževanja, 2020

Changes in the contemporary society have brought a new way of working at schools. The traditional method of teaching was focused on the teacher and required the expertise of the teachers primarily as a lecturer. Active learning refers to the student who is directly involved in the learning process, whereas the teacher should give the students an intellectual incentive, encourage their curiosity and support them in their work. T he objective of this paper was to examine the students’ and the teachers’ opinions on the teaching process, on the methods and the ways of students’ learning and the teachers’ way of working in order to improve the quality of the teaching and the learning process itself. The research was carried out both among the students from the 5th to the 8th grade and the selected subject teaching teachers at school “Jovan Dučić”. It was noted by descriptive analysis that there is a certain degree of disagreement in the way the students and the teachers see the teaching process. The research showed that the teachers should relate more material of their subjects to other school subjects, include more integrative and project teaching in their work as well as link school materials with everyday life. According to the students’ answers, we can conclude that they would find the learning process more interesting if the experts in certain areas attended their lessons or if the elder students taught the younger ones. In addition, it is necessary to encourage students to strengthen their interdisciplinary competence 343raziskovanje v vzgoji in izobraževanju: mednarodni vidki vzgoje in izobraževanja and to link the acquired knowledge with the real requirements of the working context of the 21st century. One of the important conclusions of our research shows that it is necessary to pay more attention to the individual characteristics of each student. By adopting these changes in the working process, the teachers would approach the principles of active learning, whereas the students would be more prepared for the future. Key words: teaching, learning, student differentiation in teaching, multiple linking of teaching materials, career guidance for students.

Determination Of Life Satisfaction Of Pre-Service Teachers Enrolled In Pedagogical Formation Program In Terms Of Age, Gender, Department And Academic Achievement

Proceedings of IAC in Vienna 2018, 2018

The aim of the study was to determine whether the level of life satisfaction and academic achievement of the trainees enrolled in the pedagogical formation program showed a significant difference; to determine whether the age and academic success of trainees significantly predict life satisfaction. The data were obtained from a total of 188 trainees, 115 of whom were female and 73 were male. Life Satisfaction Scale was developed by Diener, Emmons, Laresen and Griffin (1985) and adapted to Turkish by Dağlı and Baysal (2016). Female trainees were more successful than male trainees and life satisfaction levels were higher. In the study group, it was found that the academic success of the participants did not predict the life satisfaction, but the age variable was a significant predictor of life satisfaction. The age of the trainees explains 3.4% of their life satisfaction.

Students' Satisfaction with Pedagogy Teaching

Trakia Journal of Sciences, 2019

Satisfaction with the training process is seen as one of the main criteria for accreditation of all higher education programs, according to the requirements of the National Evaluation and Accreditation Agency in Bulgaria. Students' satisfaction is connected with the students' perception of the extent to which their needs or expectations have been met in the learning process. The aim of the research was to study students' satisfaction with the quality of pedagogy teaching at the National Sports Academy. The research involved 65 students (33 men, 32 women). The satisfaction survey was conducted using an online-based questionnaire (Google-Form). Subjects did not indicate their names, but only their group and gender. The results obtained show that, as a whole, students were satisfied to a very large extent with pedagogy teaching. Gender did not affect satisfaction. However, the attendance rate affected it. Students who attended all lectures had the highest degree of satisfaction, while students who did not attend any lectures had the lowest. Students who had finished elite secondary school (which is related to very high expectations of teaching), were the least satisfied and they were the ones who most often skipped lectures. The most important factor affecting students' satisfaction was the behavior of lecturers and their interaction with the students.

New Trends and Issues Proceedings on Humanities and Social Sciences , 2019

Today, teaching is no longer an approach as a simple act. The complexity of the society has led to a more careful study of the teaching process, so that, over the last 10 years, specialists are increasingly discussing about teaching styles as differentiating elements of the quality of educational services offered to students. The present study tries to reveal the impact that teacher' teaching style has upon the student's well-being level. We investigated 180 Romanian teachers who teach different disciplines (48.3% at secondary school' pupils and 51.7% at high school' pupils), and 385 Romanian pupils: 48.16% coming from secondary schools and 51.84% coming from high schools, aged 10-18 years old. Using specific and adapted investigative tools (The 'Teaching style questionnaire' and 'The Ryff's Well Being Scale'), we found specific influences of teacher' teaching style upon the elements that define the well-being level.
