Amongst the thirty university professors and scientists from Senj the name of the academic Milan Moguš holds a prominent place. His path through life "from the thorns to the stars", or Kranjčević’s "from the nest to the stars" was constantly on the up. During his working life he had significant functions in many cultural and scientific institutions throughout Croatia, as well as further afield, and this meant that he was not often able to return to his dear birthplace of Senj. He stayed here whenever he had the chance and whenever his people from Senj expressed a wish that he visit them. He was a frequent guest of the Senj Town Museum, the Senj grammar school, as well as the S. S. Kranjčević Elementary School where in his boyhood days he studied his first letters and read his first schoolbooks. This connection with Senj’s cultural institutions over a number of years is less well known to the wider cultural and scientific public, therefore, it will be the theme of this article.

This paper explores ballet education from a pedagogical perspective, viewing it primarily as an educational process. In this sense, oppressive pedagogical practices are analyzed, defined as attitudes and values that are traditionally transmitted from one generation to the next within the ballet educational hierarchy without critical questioning. The paper focuses on the Rights of the Child and their human rights in the educational process, analyzing the discriminatory patterns of child selection that continue to exist in ballet schools around the world even today. Thus, the focus shifts from what is “important to the profession” to regarding the best interests and welfare of the child in the ballet educational process. The approach is qualitative, and based on autoethnography, where various personal experiences are included, experiences gained through education, dancing and teaching. Based on these experiences and theoretical research, the paper attempts to offer a change in the process of ballet education and finds it precisely in its pedagogical contribution to ballet pedagogy. The needed change is the shift in the quality of the teacher-student relationship, and it is presented as a pedagogical relationship because it is the awareness and articulation of all segments of the pedagogical relationship that bring about the potential change that is necessary for the ballet education process. The articulation of the pedagogical relationship as a basic pedagogical concept still respects the demands of ballet art, but at the same time does not neglect the child’s position within ballet education as well as the child’s best interest in it.

The article presents one of the possible methods how to increase pupils՚ success in the solution of word problems. Word problems are the most frequent real-life tasks. It is possible to apply word problems to develop pupils՚ logical thinking and everyday problem solution. The development of numerical awareness and the interconnection of number concept and numerical operations are the basic features of this method. The link between numerical value and physical value is emphasized, which creates a precondition to the link between calculation data and physical reality. Pupils develop their own mental models during individual solutions. Such models are more helpful for them than the learnt models or algorithms. Algorithms are discovered by pupils and the risk of their formal memorization is thus minimized among pupils.
