Mokinių ir studentų tautinės savimonės ugdymo etniniu instrumentiniu muzikavimu kai kurie aspektai

Author(s): Vida Palubinskienė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 1/2015

Lithuania. Ethnical instruments (the kanklės, reed-pipes, pan flutes, etc.) have been always regarded as a symbol of national awareness. Therefore, continuity and dissemination of related traditions and their application in various aspects contributes, at least partially, to the possibility of preserving national values and developing national identity.Playing instruments in ensembles helps young people develop their musical listening skills and memory, get more matured spiritually, as well as form aesthetic feelings and artistic understanding of music.For educators, the ability to play different ethnical instruments is helpful in the respect of having more variety in their classes, involving the learners in extracurricular activities, and making closer acquaintances with the pupils and their parents.The possibility to develop the national identity of young people by means of playing in ensembles is exploited not only in Lithuania. This kind of experience has been used quite long in the practices of other countries. Therefore, in the rapid course of globalisation processes, it is of great importance to educate the young generation in the spirit of national traditions.

Lietuvos edukologijos universiteto studentų pedagoginės praktikos patirtis: mokinių elgesio stebėjimas

Author(s): Kęstutis Trakšelys / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 2/2015

Behaviour is usually named as a main and the essential educational stimulus in the lesson. Due to the pupils’ inappropriate behaviour is common to blame their unwillingness to learn, laziness or period of adolescence. Teachers are usually looking for various types of abnomant behaviour and other disorders in their pupils. Students who had teacher‘s assistant practice at schools were observing pupils and their teachers interaction in lessons. The observed lessons’ data show that lots of inpact for pupils behaviour has teacher’s personality, the ability to communicate, respect and interact with them. The appropriate teaching organization, the competence to explain the aims and goals of the task, ability to select suitable teaching / learning methods, didactic attitude, the ability to control emotional intelligence and ect. According to reports of students, who had pedagogical teacher’s assistant practice at these schools, teachers not always give well suited teaching material. It doesn’t correspond to the pupils in his / her needs, interests, expectations. They don‘t want and can‘t concentrate attention for 45 minutes. Sometimes happen when the teacher has wrong planned lessons, then pupils waste their time because simply they don‘t have what to do. The results show that very low percent of pupils work effectively, have high quality knowledges and learning results. In many cases teachers do not create positive learning environment, fail to ensure emotional security by threatening to write negative marks, to send away from classroom or end the lesson. Teachers usually don’t pay enough attention for their pupils for many reasons. They prefer treating these who are more motivated to study or are going to take the exam of the curriculum. Behaving in this way teachers make all conditions for unwillingness to study and provoke inappropriate activity of their students during lessons. In such conditions the educators don’t involve pupils of all social groups. It means that integration doesn’t work for children with the special needs. Also doesn’t work so called the inclusive education. They do not ensure pleasant microclimate in the classroom and suitable educational environment. The observation results state that some educators of these schools acted inadequate by writing negative marks for the students who tried to show inappropriate behaviour. Also we should emphase that some teachers and students, who had teacher’s assistant practice, lack abilities to adapt their pedagogical and psychological knowledges in their work with pupils. They lack of abilities to control the audience, to interact with the pupils. Also they lack skills of working in a stratified society.

Author(s): Vaiva Grabauskienė,Oksana Mockaitytė - Rastenienė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 1/2016

In this article, the teaching of mathematical reasoning in the primary school is being analysed through the scope of mathematical creativity and their interconnections are being explained in more detail. Also, a construct of mathematical creativity is being defined.The logic of an empirical research is based on an idea that the lack of knowledge in mathematical syntax and, especially, in comprehension of semantic suppress the mathematical creativity. Wherefore, an analysis of content and number of children mistakes may let observe how the learning environment influences mathematical creativity. Methods: written survey, classical teaching experiment, content analysis. For the teaching of mathematical reasoning, the original purpose fully created system of mathematical activities was used, based on a principle concrete-pictorial-abstract. The total number of researching type exercises done by children in an experimental class was thirteen, and the exercises were from different fields of mathematics.The previously mentioned method of teaching mathematics resulted in decrease in overall mistakes done by the children and it reached a one third. The changes in proportion between syntax and semantic mistakes were evident. After the experiment, the experimental class made as half as less semantic mistakes, in comparison to the control class. This indicated that learning by researching promoted mathematical creativity in children.

Author(s): Linas Jašinauskas,Rasa Žiburytė / Language(s): Lithuanian Issue: 1/2016

After restoring Independence in Lithuania, there has not been a separate research carried out which would contain an in-depth analysis of the quality of activities presented in history textbooks used in general education schools. Therefore, the following research problem is raised in this article: whether the activities presented in the history textbooks for 5th–8th grades that are currently in use in Lithuanian general education schools are suitable for developing the achievements in history subject which are defined in the General Curriculum Framework. The aim of this study is to investigate the suitability of history textbook activities for 5th–8th grades for developing pupils‘ achievements delineated in the General Curriculum Framework 2008. To reach this aim the following objectives were raised: 1) to discuss the key achievements in history subject as well as the requirements for history learning process that are highlighted in scientific literature and educational programmes; 2) to reveal the role of a textbook and its activities / activities system for improving pupils’ achievements in accordance to Lithuanian education documents and scientific literature; 3) to analyse the suitability of history textbook activities for 5th–8th grades for improving pupils’ knowledge and skills delineated in the General Curriculum Framework for Basic Education 2008 for the subject of history. Methods of research:analysis of education documents and scientific literature, analysis of textbook content. Data of the analysis revealed that more than half of the tasks in the investigated history textbooks for 5th–8th grades require from pupils knowledge and understanding of historical figures, events or cases depicted in a textbook. Fewer than a quarter of the analysed history textbook activities are designed to developing pupils’ ability to put knowledge into practice. Very few tasks presented in textbooks are intended for developing the capacity for more complicated reasoning. Whilst analysing the adaptation of activities in history textbooks for 5th–8th grades for developing pupils‘ competencies in the subject, it became clear that the activities are only partially suitable for developing the competencies delineated in the General Curriculum Framework. The greater part of tasks is designed for developing an understanding of historical evolution and ability to engage in historical analysis and interpretation. Only 4.3 percent of tasks induce the pupils to develop an ability to orientate in historical time and space. The analysed textbooks contain few activities that would motivate pupils to take an integral approach towards Lithuanian and world history.

Security Measures in Automated Assessment System for Programming Courses

Author(s): Jana Šťastná,Ján Juhár,Miroslav Biňas,Martin Tomášek / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2015

A desirable characteristic of programming code assessment is to provide the learner the most appropriate information regarding the code functionality as well as a chance to improve. This can be hardly achieved in case the number of learners is high (500 or more). In this paper we address the problem of risky code testing and availability of an assessment platform Arena, dealing with potential security risks when providing an automated assessment for a large set of source code. Looking at students' programs as if they were potentially malicious inspired us to investigate separated execution environments, used by security experts for secure software analysis. The results also show that availability issues of our assessment platform can be conveniently resolved with task queues. A special attention is paid to Docker, a virtual container ensuring no risky code can affect the assessment system security. The assessment platform Arena enables to regularly, effectively and securely assess students' source code in various programming courses. In addition to that it is a motivating factor and helps students to engage in the educational process.

The aim of this paper is to introduce a summary and current state of the issue of predatory open access publishers and to critically discuss general predatory behaviour and related topics in the Czech and international context. The article summarizes outputs of the first foreign studies dealing with predatory publishers and journals. We find that although in the past three years, the issue of predation is actively addressed in foreign countries, the Czech higher education institutions are not prepared for this new phenomenon as well as most of academics and researchers do not know about it at all. The text highlights the threats with which the scientific community (science and education in general) is confronted and proposes countermeasures from the view of an individual and higher education institutions. At the end of the article, there are mentioned trends in the behaviour of predatory publishers and dilemmas which non-predatory journal publishers and international indexing databases are faced with.

Hukou System, Horizontal, Vertical, and Full Job-Education Mismatch and Wage Progression among College Graduates in Beijing, China

Author(s): Donghong Xie / Language(s): English Issue: 5/2020

This article investigates college graduates in Beijing, China, and asks, First: Whether college graduates without local hukou are prone to educational mismatch? Second: What role does the hukou system play in the educational mismatch? And third: Whether college graduates without local hukou are willing to lower their wages in order to get a hukou? I use the Beijing College Students Panel Survey (BCSPS), and multinomial logit models and the linear regression analyses are conducted. I find that college graduates with (without) local hukou through job are more likely to be vertical and full mismatch than locals, and those who obtain a hukou through job have a higher full mismatch. After considering the educational mismatch, there is no significant difference in monthly wages between college graduates (not) having a hukou by work and locals.

SAINT PAUL THE APOSTLE’ LEGACY IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATIONAL FORMATION

Author(s): Mária Šmidová,Władysław Majkowski,Miloš Lichner,Mariana Hamarová / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2019

Introduction: Paul the Apostle, his teaching and example have been a constant thread throughout the Church’s history for over two thousand years. His theology, although challenging, is applied in a significant way in the field of pedagogy and Christian education of children and adolescents. Several eloquent expressions of the Apostle present in his epistles have inspired various professional publications, articles, and adolescent songs. Findings: Part of the significance of Paul the Apostle’s legacy in the field of educational formation of children and adolescents is apparent during the appearance of visible signs of weakening of faith in the practical life of believers, especially children and adolescents, where it helps revive their faith by directing it towards Jesus Christ who understands them, who is not out of touch, whose words are not contrary to his actions and who became like them in their suffering, temptations, and feelings. They may thus follow his example. Focus: The aim of the article is to briefly outline the major impact of Saint Paul the Apostle’s legacy in the educational formation of adolescents through the person and life of Jesus Christ who might serve as a potential educational role model for children and adolescents living in the 21st Century. Conclusion: Based on the aforementioned theoretical background, the article recommends the preparation of studies analysing Saint Paul’s teachings present in his epistles, which may be incorporated into the current educational formation of children and adolescents.
