The aim of this paper is to ascertain the type of relation elementary school students have toward mathematics classes. Through employing technical and scientific methods, a basis was constructed which can provide answers to numerous questions related to math classes, relation of students towards the subject matter, as well as to results being achieved in the subject mathematics during elementary education. The fact is that elementary school students exhibit difficulties in accepting the subject and achieve lower results in mathematics in comparison to other school subjects. Likewise, it is a fact that students upon gradating elementary school opt for high schools which have less mathematics in their curricula, and this state of affair continues when choosing higher education area. In the first theoretical part, certain fundamental concepts regarding this research topic have been clarified. The second part relates to the methodology of research of the above-mentioned problem. In the third part an analysis and interpretation of the results of conducted research has been provided.
The aim of this paper is to determine the differences in life skills of young people with and without disability in chronological age from 18-35 year-old in Tuzla Canton. The respondents sample consists of two sub-samples. First sub-sample contains 50 young people with disability, chronological age from 18-35 of both genders. Second sub-sample contained 50 young people without disability, chronological age from 18- 35 of both genders. Research data were analysed using method of parametric and non-parametric statistics. Frequencies, percentages and measures of central tendency have been calculated (arithmetic mean and standard deviation). P-values have been used for examining the difference between variables and variance analysis has been used for examining the importance of differences. The results show that there is a significant statistical difference between young people with and without disabilities in the of life skills assessed: job retention skills, skills to cope in danger. Based on the results obtained, it is recommended to start the program and training in early age which will make life easier to disabled persons and their families.
This work will emphasise tracking, evaluation, and grading student's accomplishments in mathematics classes. It is not enough just to track and grade acquiring knowledge, skills and habits, but it is also necessary to evaluate development of attitude, reasoning, subjective and objective development possibilities for students to become versatile, happy and human personalities. One of the hardest tasks in mathematics classes is evaluation of students. It is very complex process, but also it is the only possibility for teacher to acquire system for evaluation, tracking and grading students. System for evaluation must be in coordination with existing school system.
A cooperative approach to learning in math class, and especially the fear ofmathematics are the actuality of contemporary class. That would be the subject of much loved depends on the teacher or the methods applied in the process ofrealization of teaching units. The fact is that students often declare how do not like math and choose high school and colleges where there is a minimum of mathematics. Their thinking is a product of the experience with the teacher andthe curriculum in the starting teaching mathematics. In this paper, the statistically significant differences between the written co-operative learning access and success of students in relation to the traditional classes.
In this research, the application of contemporary teaching aids in Mathematics teaching in elementary school was analyzed from the aspect of teachers, students and parents. The application of contemporary teaching aids in Mathematics teaching was analyzed through a sample of 100 students, and attitudes about the aids were examined from the points of view of students, teachers and parents. In this research, descriptive method, questionnaire and test were used. Results of the research are shown graphically and tabular, with description and discussion. In the conclusion, the benefits of applying contemporary teaching aids in Mathematics teaching are specified and explained.
This paper elaborates the concept of evaluation and self-assessment in the teaching of mathematics and other concepts important to explain the image on the realization winning learning. Also, the essential characteristic that influences this study is education. In a sample of 120 respondents, it was attempted to determine the significance of differences between evaluation and self-assessment in mathematics, in contrary the role of evaluation and self-evaluation in achieving winning learning in mathematics. Analytical - descriptive method and survey method were used in this study, which helped to confirm the hypotheses. The results were shown in tables and graphs and explained with the discussion. The whole operation was rounded with the conclusion.
In order for inclusive class to be successful, associates are of great help to teachers. Besides associates, teachers' specialization can be accomplished through educational seminars on the inclusion topic. However, information about inclusion, working with children with special needs, can also be found in scientific journals that offer more information on methods of working with children with special needs, didactic materials customized according to abilities of children. Aim of this research was to establish the ways of supporting teachers in their work with children with special needs. The research included 30 respondents. For needs of this research four schools in Sarajevo canton were selected: "Vladislav Skarić", "Silvija Strahimir Kranjčević", "Isak Samokovlija", and "Avdo Smailović". In all of these schools education of children with special needs is conducted. Based on the analysis, we could conclude that most of the support that teachers receive comes from educational seminars and scientific literature and least of the support comes from associates.
The aim of this paper is to determine the differences between externalized and internalized behavioral problems in the population of young adolescents in the city of Tuzla on eight different scales of syndromes (anxiety/depression, reticence, physical difficulties, aggression, rules violation, social problems, thinking problems, and attention problems). The paper starts from the assumption that there are differences between younger adolescents with internalized and externalized behavioral problems with regard to gender in such a way that externalized problems will be more frequent in male adolescents and internalized behavioral problems in female adolescents. The sample of respondents in this study consists of 587 young adolescents of both genders. The research was conducted in fifteen primary schools in the city of Tuzla. The Achenbach dimensional classification of behavioral disorders was used for assessment (Achenbach & Rescorla, 2001). The results show higher scores for internalized behavioral problems. Female adolescents had statistically significantly higher scores on the Anxiety/Depression, Somatic Problems, and Thought Problems subscales.
The aim of this work was to investigate the qualitative characteristics of hearing aid users (satisfaction with the use of hearing aids in everyday life) and to determine if there are any differences compared to published research in the literature. The sample of respondents consisted of 50 users of hearing aids, aged from 20 to 88 years. The sample was chosen by random selection from a previously selected sample of 398 hearing aid users. A special questionnaire was constructed for the research. The first part of the questionnaire consisted of variables: gender, age, type of hearing impairment, percentage of hearing loss, degree of hearing impairment, time of hearing aid use, and brand of hearing aid. The second part consisted of variables for the assessment of satisfaction with the use of hearing aids, that is, 15 statements to which respondents had to express their views on satisfaction with the use of hearing aids. This part of the questionnaire was carried out by surveying. The results showed that the majority of hearing aid users wear the hearing aid regularly, they benefit significantly from the hearing aid and it helps them in communication. They have no significant problems when using and handling the hearing aid. The variables gender, age, and time of hearing aid use had no statistically significant correlations with the applied set of variables (claims). Attitudes of hearing aid users can be an important factor in determining benefit and satisfaction with hearing aids.
Aim of this research was to examine differences in linguistic abilities of first year students in elementary schools depending on time spent in kindergarten. In research, sample of surveyed students consisted of 190 first year students in elementary schools, both genders and ages between 72 and 89 months. The research was conducted in elementary schools on the territory of municipality Maglaj in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Results of this research have shown that during the evaluation of differences in linguistic abilities of first year students in elementary schools depending on time spent in kindergarten, there is statistically significant difference in grammatical variable that describes morphological completion. Children that attended kindergarten more than three school years, showed statistically better results with recognition abilities, understanding and usage of common morphological forms of Bosnian language, compared to children who attended kindergarten only for legally obliging preschool time (minimal 150 hours during one school year). We have to point out that respondents who attended kindergarten more than three school years showed better results in almost every variable that describes linguistic abilities but obtained difference did not appear as statistically significant. Professionals who deal with education and rehabilitation of children in development period should educate and stimulate parents to enroll their children in kindergarten in order to stimulate their speaking - linguistic development and other areas that children are developing in.
Contemporary changes in the whole system of education and training require the teacher to be a person of trust, educator, counselor, friend, organizer, coordinator, associate, innovator, assessor, mentor; in another words, a contemporary and modern person. In the modern school (even more in the future) the role of the teacher is far wider. He needs to be active in school, outside of school, within free activities, as well as cultural and public activities of the school. A good teacher does not resist the influence of a student, because his or her extremely responsible role can be successfully achieved, if they work well with them. To cooperate in this context does not mean that only the teacher listens to the student's suggestions, although that is also very important, but cooperating means accepting the student's proposal, if they are objectively acceptable or explain why a particular proposal cannot be realized. It is not possible to work well and democratically in the classroom if the student's influence is not accepted. If the teacher's behavior and style of work are not necessarily limited to the work and behavior of a student, then there is no interaction, and the teaching process must be an interaction. Changes in the society affect school changes, and changes in school play the most important role in changing the position of the teacher and his role and the style of work in the teaching process. The survival and future of the school is reflected in its educational role. In order for a teacher to be an educator, to fulfill his or her educational role, he/she must love or sympathize with the kids, respect their opinion, encourage them to achieve good results, but also to share with them possible misunderstandings and failures. The success and superiority of teachers as educators depends more on the quality of the relationships established, and less on the knowledge of the subject being taught, even though this component cannot be ignored.Thanks to the good work style, the teacher can achieve better results in the educational process. This does not only apply to the choice of working methods, but the style of work is reflected in the overall individual pedagogical practice of teachers. In the style of work the teacher expresses his / her independence, creativity, initiative, democracy or authoritarianism, lack of competence, irresponsibility. In modern school, children need to play a central role, and the school should become a place where they are exploring, examining, solving problems and to lead them to a deliberate dialogue. Students need to experience the school as a place where the child develops in cognitive, emotional and social sense, and where the child's motivation to work is at a high level. Active teaching (active learning, active school) is an original pedagogical creation based on theoretical settings and practical attempts of transformation of a traditional school into an active school, i.e. a school in which both the student and the teacher have an active role. Thinking about active learning is inspired by the works of Kerenstahner (work school), Laj, Dekrol (school for life and life), Klapard (school by sea), Djuij (pragmatic conception), Montesori, Fereira (active school) Frenoa, Dalton plan, Vinteka-plan, etc. The summary of their research endeavors and theoretical endeavors, aimed at constituting an active school, is the following Piaget's statement, which for active teaching has an absolute programmatic meaning: "In one of the words, the basic principle of active methods should be inspired by the history of science and can be expressed in the following way: Something means self-discovery or reconstruction through re-discovery and it is necessary to adhere to that principle if in the future we want to shape people who will be capable of producing and creating and not just repeating what already exists. " To reach a comprehensive and precise concept of active learning, the activity of children in the learning process is of paramount importance. From the cited Piaget's theoretical point of view, for the active learning, three are very important elements: An important component of activity as an internal (mental) activity is defined: this activity (or at least one of its, important for school learning) is the passage through the intellectual processes through which it came to science when it came to discoveries and finds. So, the student briefly reconstructs these thought processes; The object of thought activities is not only their own immediate experience but also the intellectual content of certain scientific disciplines; The basic goals of school learning through active methods are: a good understanding of what is in science but also the adoption of intellectual arts for productive and creative activities. The traditional school works on pre-defined plans and programs and the goal of the curriculum is to adopt the program. The basic teaching method is the lecture (verbal transfer of knowledge) with the occasional use of teaching resources. The student has a mostly passive role of a listener who has to understand, remember and reproduce the compulsory material. Evaluation, whether verbally or in writing, consists in verifying the measure in which the required degree has been adopted. Learning motives are largely external to nature (appreciation, praise, reward, punishment ...) In a traditional school, the child is looked upon as a pupil, that is to one who should, with understanding, repeat the course more profoundly. An active school is more focused on a young man who is treated as a whole person whose intellectual potentials need to engage more in the teaching process. The active school is based on compulsory education standards based on which the orientation plans and work programs are designed. Such access also implies a part of teaching that is flexible and varies depending on the student's interest. Learning motivation is personal (internal). In teaching, active learning methods are based on work and intellectual engagement of students and research activities. The goal of an active school is not only the adoption of a curriculum, but also the versatile personality development of students. The active school evaluates not only the degree of competence of the knowledge defined by the educational standards, but also the progress of the children in comparison with the initial situation, the motivation and interest of the students for work and activity, the development of the personality and the satisfaction of the student's teaching that is realized.
The main objective of the study was to determine the developmental abilities of preschool children before and after six months of speech therapy treatment, and to examine the impact of the time of initiation of speech therapy treatment on the developmental abilities of children. The sample consisted of 35 children (20 male children and 15 female children), and all respondents reported early intervention due to speech and language difficulties. The age of the respondents ranged from 25 to 60 months. After conducting interviews with parents, taking anamnestic data, professional speech therapy diagnosticobservational procedure and determining speech-language disorders, the children underwent speech therapy treatment. After six months, a final assessment was made and the results showed statistically significant progress in all variables describing developmental abilities in children. The predictor "Time of treatment initiation" also had a statistically significant impact on all tested variables of developmental abilities of preschool children. The results showed that speech therapy treatment enables significant progress in all developmental areas in children, i.e. that progress in one development area follows the development of other areas.
People with intellectual disabilities often face a number of disorders that can impair their health and even endanger their lives. One of these disorders is dysphagia, which is often unrecognized in this population. The main goal of the research was to determine the differences in the severity of dysphagia relation to the degree of intellectual disability in persons placed in institutional accommodation. The study involved 31 respondents diagnosed with intellectual disabilities. The results showed that people with a higher degree of intellectual disability have more pronounced dysphagia. Caregivers of people with intellectual disabilities should be aware of the presence of dysphagia in people with intellectual disabilities, and refer them to a speech-language pathologist in a timely manner with the goal of timely diagnosis and treatment to improve the overall health and quality of life of people of this population.
