Kuszak Kinga, Językowy obraz wojny według uczniów klas IV-VII szkoły podstawowej [Linguistic Image of War According to Students of Years 4-7 of Primary School]. Studia Edukacyjne nr 56, 2020, Poznań 2020, pp. 39-56. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 1233-6688. DOI: 10.14746/se.2020.56.3The article discusses the linguistic image of war as an element of the linguistic worldview, based onstatements made by students of years 4-7. The author follows Jerzy Bartmiński’s assumption that a linguisticworldview is a linguistic interpretation of reality, which can be defined as a set of judgements about the world. These judgements may be fixed in the language itself, in its grammatical forms, lexicon, clichéd texts (e.g. proverbs), or as implied linguistic forms and texts. Language is a means of interpreting the world and the words used not so much to “render a photographic reproduction of things” as to “portray” them mentally. The author, inspired by Franciszek Hinczer’s research on war conducted in 1919 among students aged 8-14, asked students of two primary schools (302 people in total) about their opinions on the same topic. The students taking part in the research, conducted a hundred years after the study was published in the Szkoła Powszechna journal, answered the following questions: What do they think a war is? What do people do during a war? What do adults do during a war and what do children do? The students’ statements were analyzed and categorized. Each selected category was illustrated with sample answers from the respondents. The presentation of the results was preceded by an analysis of the notion and image of war in selected dictionaries of the Polish language.

Photosynthesis is the most important biochemical process on Earth. Most living beings depend on it directly or indirectly. Knowledge about photosynthesis enables us to understand how the world functions as an ecosystem and how photosynthesis acts as a bridge between the non-living and living worlds. It is, therefore, understandable that photosynthesis is included in national curricula around the world. The practice unfortunately shows that students at all school levels mostly learn about photosynthesis by rote. Consequently, they have difficulties understanding this vital process. Research also shows many misconceptions in relation to photosynthesis among students of different ages. Based on these, the main aim of our study was to explore the scientific conceptions about photosynthesis held by primary school pupils and student teachers of biology. Data were collected using a questionnaire containing seven biology content questions.The sample consisted of 634 participants, 427 primary school pupils (aged 11–14), and 207 student teachers of biology (aged 20–23). We found that the populations of primary school pupils and student teachers of biology differ greatly concerning scientific conceptions of photosynthesis. The student teachers showed good and complex understanding of photosynthesis, while pupils showed some misconceptions (location of chlorophyll and photosynthesis in a plant, transformation of energy in photosynthesis). Analysis of the development of scientific conceptions about photosynthesis with age showed that there is very little progress among primary school pupils and none among biology student teachers. More involvement of student teachers of biology in practical work at primary schools during their study was suggested to make student teachers aware of, and better understand pupils’ misconceptions.

Covid 19 is a disease that has spread all over the world. It caused upheavals in all societies and segments of society. This also relates to the Serbian society and its educational system. Education, as an important part of society, experienced a concussion. Serbia's cumbersome education system, many ongoing reforms, dissatisfaction of educators, many unresolved issues were now additionally burdened by the crown and everything it brings with it. How much of the education system, to which the primary school belongs, has successfully responded to these changes? The inflexibility and inelasticity of the education system was a major obstacle in response to such a large demand made by the Coronavirus. The transition from school to online teaching was stressful for all participants: pupils, parents and teachers. In addition to changes in the way of working, primary schools in Serbia have faced problems with the lack of information technology needed for distance learning, teaching staff who are not educated for this type of teaching, but also the quality of such teaching. All this raised the question of the quality of knowledge that pupils acquired during distance learning. The paper will discuss the management of the primary school at the time of the Covid 19, the problems encountered and how they were solved.

School, particularly primary school, plays a special and unique role in education. It joins teachers and students together, in order to show children and youths the complex reality of the world. Educational processes implemented in the following institution can reflect knowledge transmission or can be based on transaction models. Education is stimulating, experimental and exploratory as it guides students to the world of forming questions, searching for answers and developing conclusions. Unfortunately, this model is rather uncommon in Polish primary schools. This publication presents how experimenting, used by teachers, could introduce 7-year-old students in the first grade of primary school, into the world of knowledge and natural science competence. It also shows how experimenting affects the level of students’ education and natural science competence. The research aimed for describing methods of experimenting with first grade students in science education as well as explaining the connection between applying experiments in science education and students’ level of skills and knowledge. The research used a method of pedagogical experiment - quasi-experimental testing based on initial and final measurement using practical tests. The study included 307 primary school first-graders. The studies have established that there are dependencies between experimenting in science education as well as knowledge and skills level among the first grade primary school students, taking into account subjects’ gender. At the end, conclusions were also drawn regarding the possibilities for more extensive use of experimentation in Polish schools.

The relevance of the article is determined by the need for primary school teachers to develop a model for the formation of educational actions of self-control in younger students in the lessons of the world and its justification. The purpose of the work is to develop and test the model we have created for the formation of educational self-control actions in the lessons of the surrounding world in elementary school and in highlighting its components. Sources of study were academic work in the field of philosophy and methodology of psychological and pedagogical research, theses of modern pedagogy and psychology affecting the social conditioning of personality formation in activities; works of domestic and foreign scientific researchers on the structure, development and conditions for the development of abilities and creativity. This article talks about the formation of educational actions of self-control in elementary school students in the framework of the subject "The World Outside" on the basis of a methodology that includes the following structural components: methodological, goal-oriented, substantive, organizational-active, and productive-evaluative. The developed model for the formation of educational actions of self-control can be included in the educational process of primary schools in order to increase the effectiveness of primary school teachers.

This study focuses on “circle time,” an innovative technique to promote classroom organization in primary schools across Germany and the rest of the world. Unlike previous research which primarily emphasizes on the functional and instrumental dimensions of circle time, the current study examines the non-cognitive aspects that emerged “in the middle” of circles. Since 2013, an ethnographic study has been conducted in a progressive pedagogy (Reformpädagogik) primary school in Berlin, Germany. The empirical data from this study contain observations from the ethnographic videotaping of students aged 6 to 9 years old. The findings suggest that three aspects are crucial to generating and handling heterogeneity in a circle: symbolic construction, bodily movement, and ludic interaction. In addition, it is indicated that in a pluralistic, multi-cultural society, a teacher’s authority becomes conditional rather than automatic.

Inclusive Pedagogy

Inclusive education is an important part of the general humanitarian attitude to create equal living conditions and self-realization of various members of society. It is important to diversify approaches to inclusive pedagogy. In particular, the need to take into account age differences in the education of children with disabilities, the need to distinguish inclusive tactics depending on the level of education, the requirement to systematize approaches to inclusive pedagogy from its first structural link and to potentially vocational education. In the system of inclusive education, the primary school occupies a prominent place as the first compulsory educational institution. Aim. The purpose of the article is to consider and analyze current trends in inclusive education in primary school. Methods and instruments. The main research methods are the analysis of the regulatory framework (international policy documents), processing of statistical data, study and generalization of recent publications on the topic with an emphasis on the experience of the leading European countries. Results and conclusion. It is established that the main trends in the development of inclusion at the primary school level are: a) shifting away from specialized schools and classes in favor of increasing inclusive classes; b) finding ways to overcome the inequality of funding for inclusive education in European countries and the inequality of the allocation of the budget that is allocated to the financing of inclusive education ( primary schools); c) active support of inclusive education by the world community, development of basic international documents and programs in order to standardize theoretical, practical and technical approaches to inclusion in primary school;  d) finding opportunities to engage in inclusive practices for skilled people with disabilities; e) search for methods of overcoming social and psychological barriers to inclusive education of primary school children; f) a structured approach to inclusive education in primary school; g) development of a single mechanism for initiating inclusive education and monitoring the implementation of the recommendation on inclusive education, determining its effectiveness.Perspectives. Further attention to the trends of inclusive education is quite relevant.We have to understand the current and future vectors of inclusive education in the world. Nowadays, inclusive education becomes a trend and a prerequisite for ensuring the principle of parity in the humanities, ensuring equal conditions for human development.

The present study examined age differences in time-based prospective memory (TBPM) in primary school age children and tested the role of self-initiated memory retrieval and strategic time monitoring (TM) as possible developmental mechanisms. Fifty-four children were recruited from local primary schools (27 younger children, mean age = 7.2 ± 0.55 years, and 27 older children, mean age = 9.61 ± 0.71 years). The task was a driving game scenario in which children had to drive a vehicle (ongoing task) and to remember to refuel before the vehicle runs out of gas (TBPM task, i.e., the fuel gauge served as child-appropriate time equivalent). Fuel gauge was either displayed permanently (low level of self-initiation) or could only be viewed on demand by hitting a button (high level of self-initiation). The results revealed age-dependent TBPM differences with better performance in older children. In contrast, level of self-initiated memory retrieval did not affect TBPM performance. However, strategies of TM influenced TBPM, as more frequent time checking was related to better performance. Patterns of time checking frequency differed according to children’s age and course of the game, suggesting difficulties in maintaining initial strategic TM in younger children. Taken together, the study revealed ongoing development of TBPM across primary school age. Observed age differences seemed to be associated with the ability to maintain strategic monitoring.

Factors Associated

The aim of this study was to identify the factors associated with school refusal behavior in primary school students. Student’s self-report and teacher’s measures were implemented; and students were recruited from 20 primary schools in six districts in Selangor, Malaysia. The survey was conducted at the end of school term in 2016, with a total of 915 students from Year 4 and Year 5 participating. The sample of students had been absent from school for more than 15% of school days in the current year. Pearson correlation shows a significant relationship between academic achievement and school satisfaction toward school refusal behavior. The findings of this study suggest that academic difficulties and dissatisfaction towards school environment could be the important risk factors for school refusal behavior. The present study underscores the importance of early detection and intervention as measures to reduce school refusal. Finally, the findings imply that the role of school factors should always be taken into account in connection with school refusal behaviour.
