Opis: Purpose: The purpose of the research was to explore how virtual exchanges can empower teachers of engineering and technology and practical subjects. The aim was to determine whether and how these teachers see virtual exchanges as an opportunity for personal and professional development, improvement of teaching, and exchange of good practices. Findings: The research was conducted at the beginning of the 2023/2024 school year with interviews conducted via online video calls. The sample included 16 teachers and 2 students (future teachers of engineering and technology). Before the interviews, participants received an introductory presentation of the concept of virtual exchanges and then answered four pre-prepared questions that focused on the perception and meaning of these exchanges for teachers. Originality/value: The paper is important because it focuses on a less researched area -the use of virtual exchanges in the context of technical education that includes practical work. The research fills a gap in the literature and offers valuable insights for the development of international collaboration among teachers of technical subjects and for the design of supporting platforms, tools and policies that would enable and promote this collaboration.

Opis: Magistrska naloga obravnava povezanost družinskega branja z bralnim razumevanjem neumetnostnih besedil. Družinsko branje, opredeljeno kot skupno branje med dvema generacijama (starši in otroki), pomembno prispeva k opismenjevanju, bogatitvi besednega zaklada, izboljšanju jezikovnega izražanja ter oblikovanju pozitivnega odnosa do branja. Namen raziskave je bil preučiti, ali obstaja povezava med pogostostjo družinskega branja in uspešnostjo učencev pri razumevanju neumetnostnih besedil. V okviru empiričnega dela smo skozi šolsko leto z bralnimi listi spremljali, kako pogosto učenci berejo skupaj s starši, ob koncu leta pa so učenci reševali naloge za preverjanje bralnega razumevanja. Rezultati raziskave niso pokazali izrazite razlike v splošni uspešnosti, so pa učenci, ki so bili pogosteje deležni družinskega branja, dosegli boljše rezultate pri nalogah odprtega tipa ter izkazali bolj uravnoteženo uspešnost med zahtevnejšimi nalogami odprtega tipa in lažjimi nalogami alternativnega tipa ter dopolnjevanja. Povezanost med pogostostjo družinskega branja in časom reševanja delovnega lista ni bila statistično značilna. Ugotovitve potrjujejo pomen družinskega branja za učenčevo opismenjevanje ter oblikovanje učinkovitih in trajnostnih bralnih navad.

Opis: Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the attitudes of teachers of technical and engineering subjects towards the use of humanoid robots in the learning process. The aim was to find out whether these teachers are more willing to integrate robots in the classroom than teachers of other subjects, and whether they perceive concrete possibilities to use robots in different learning situations (e.g. substituting in the absence of a student). Study design/methodology/approach: The survey was quantitative and conducted through an online questionnaire, which was completed by 206 teachers of different subjects and levels of education in Slovenia. The questionnaire contained two sets of statements - one on the willingness to incorporate robots, the other on the concrete possibilities of their use. The analysis of differences between teachers of technical and non-technical subjects was carried out using the Mann-Whitney U-test, using IBM SPSS software. The questionnaire had high internal reliability (Cronbach α = .912). Findings: The results showed statistically significant differences in the expressed willingness to incorporate robots, with teachers of technical and engineering subjects showing higher willingness than other teachers. However, there were no statistically significant differences in the perception of concrete possibilities for the use of robots, such as helping to work with students remotely, assisting teachers with administrative tasks, etc. Teachers of technical subjects expressed more interest and openness to the use of robots in the classroom. Originality/value: The research provides important insights into a specific segment of teachers (engineering and technology teachers) who, due to the nature of the subject, are more inclined to make practical use of new technologies such as humanoid robots. This is one of the few studies that comparatively analyses the attitudes of different groups of teachers towards this topic. The results have value for the further development of pedagogical approaches, teacher training and the design of strategies for introducing robots in schools, especially in STEM fields.

Opis: Amidst growing migratory movements and hurdles of assimilation, the INTREF initiative strives to craft a comprehensive strategy for the schooling of refugee children, melding e-learning, emotional and social support, along with adaptable teaching methods. This endeavor learns on principles like linguistic diversity, cross-cultural skills, and customizing the educational journey, crucial for assimilation and triumph within academic settings. Studies indicate the indispensability of bespoke linguistic assistance, cognizance of cultural variances, and personalized educational tactics for the seamless school transition and societal assimilation of children in refuge. The project devised a survey instrument aimed at evaluating the baseline educational scenario in the participating nations and formulating education plans tailored to specific needs. This survey zeroes on four pivotal areas: linguistic proficiency, cross-cultural consciousness, embracing diversity, and pedagogical customization. Feedback from 31 students, 30 teachers and 28 parents revealed a pressing need for augmented linguistic aid in Slovenia, heightened cross-cultural understanding, and classroom method modification to enrich the academic experiences of culturally diverse children. The findings also underscore a discernible discrepancy between the perspectives of educators versus those of parents and children. The insights from this survey lay the groundwork for creating innovative instructional units and resources, finely adapted to the needs of children in refuge. By forging links between theoretical insights and practical application, as well as among various educational stakeholders, INTREF is ready to enrich the discourse and practices surrounding inclusivity, and endeavor made increasingly pertinent by the recent global disruptions, including the migratory dilemma and the COVID-19 outbreak.

Opis: Learning and teaching are undergoing continuous transformations, encompassing not only changes in methods and approaches but also an increased emphasis on novel content. In recent decades, environmental education has gained significant importance. Therefore, we examined the extent to which ecological topics are incorporated into the curricula of Slovenian elementary schools and general grammar schools. A systematic analysis of the curricula of the majority of subjects was conducted, with a focus on the representation of ecological themes in primary and secondary education and the extent to which knowledge differs and complements between these educational levels. The findings indicate that the subject of ecology is addressed in most subjects at the elementary and secondary levels, albeit with certain variations. The content logically complements and builds upon each other throughout the observed educational continuum. Furthermore, suggestions for future research are provided.
