Metódy učenia v učebných materiáloch slovenčiny ako cudzieho jazyka
Istraživanje u ovom diplomskom radu usmjereno je na analizu prisutnosti nastavnih metoda u udžbeniku Krížom-krážom – Slovenčina A2 i pripadajućoj vježbenici Krížom-krážom – Slovenčina A1–A2 cvičebnica, koji su namijenjeni učenju slovačkog jezika kao stranog na razini A2. Cilj rada bio je utvrditi koje su nastavne metode najčešće primijenjene u zadacima navedenih nastavnih materijala te ih klasificirati prema podjeli Vladimira Poljaka (1980). Prvi dio rada temelji se na teorijskoj osnovi i donosi pregled temeljnih pojmova vezanih uz nastavne metode, njihove vrste i primjenu u nastavi stranih jezika, s posebnim naglaskom na klasifikaciju V. Poljaka. U drugom dijelu provodi se analiza koja je obuhvatila ukupno 181 zadatak iz udžbenika i 88 iz vježbenice, raspoređenih u prvih pet lekcija razine A2. Rezultati su pokazali značajnu zastupljenost verbalnih metoda u oba materijala, pri čemu se kao najčešća ističe metoda pisanja. U manjoj mjeri zastupljene su vizualne metode, prvenstveno metoda demonstracije, dok su prakseološke metode gotovo potpuno izostale. Udžbenik pokazuje veću raznolikost nastavnih metoda u usporedbi s vježbenicom, što je u skladu s njegovom funkcijom u procesu usvajanja novog gradiva, dok je vježbenica primarno usmjerena na uvježbavanje i ponavljanje naučenog sadržaja.The research in this master's thesis focuses on the analysis of the presence of teaching methods in the textbook Krížom-krážom – Slovenčina A2 and the accompanying workbook Krížom- krážom – Slovenčina A1–A2 cvičebnica, which are intended for learning Slovak as a foreign language at the A2 level. The aim of the paper was to determine which teaching methods are most often applied in the tasks of the mentioned teaching materials and to classify them according to Vladimir Poljak's division (1980). The first part of the paper is based on a theoretical basis and provides an overview of the basic concepts related to teaching methods, their types and application in foreign language teaching, with a special emphasis on Poljak's classification. The second part of the analysis includes a total of 181 tasks from the textbook and 88 from the workbook, distributed over the first five lessons of A2 level. The results showed a significant presence of verbal methods in both materials, with the writing method being the most common. Visual methods are present to a lesser extent, primarily the demonstration method, while praxeological methods are almost completely absent. The textbook shows a greater diversity of teaching methods compared to the workbook, which is in line with its function in the process of acquiring new material, while the workbook is primarily focused on practicing and repeating the learned content.Výskum v tejto diplomovej práci sa zameriava na analýzu prítomnosti vyučovacích metód v učebnici Krížom-krážom – Slovenčina A2 a sprievodnom pracovnom zošite Krížom-krážom – Slovenčina A1–A2 cvičebnica, ktoré sú určené na výučbu slovenčiny ako cudzieho jazyka na úrovni A2. Cieľom práce bolo určiť, ktoré vyučovacie metódy sa najčastejšie uplatňovali pri úlohách z vyššie uvedených učebných materiálov a klasifikovať ich podľa klasifikácie Vladimira Poljaka (1980). Prvá časť práce je založená na teoretickom základe a poskytuje prehľad základných pojmov týkajúcich sa vyučovacích metód, ich typov a aplikácie vo výučbe cudzích jazykov s osobitným dôrazom na Poljakovu klasifikáciu. V druhej časti je vykonaná analýza, ktorá zahŕňala celkovo 181 úloh z učebnice a 88 zo zošita, rozložených v prvých piatich lekciách úrovne A2. Výsledky ukázali výraznú prítomnosť verbálnych metód v oboch materiáloch, pričom ako najčastejšia vyniká písomná metóda. Vizuálne metódy sú zastúpené v menšej miere, predovšetkým demonštračné metódy, pričom čo praxeologické metódy takmer úplne chýbajú. Učebnica vykazuje v porovnaní s pracovným zošitom väčšiu rozmanitosť vyučovacích metód, čo je v súlade s jej funkciou v procese osvojovania si nového učiva, pričom pracovný zošit je primárne zameraný na precvičovanie a opakovanie prebraného obsahu
Heidegger's intrepretation of Heraclitus
Ovaj diplomski rad istražuje Heideggerovu interpretaciju Heraklita u okviru njegove kritike zapadne metafizike. Polazeći od teze da je povijest filozofije povijest zaborava bitka, Heidegger u susretu s predsokratovcima, osobito s Heraklitom, vidi mogućnost zasnivanja izvornog mišljenja, prije pojave metafizičkih dihotomija uvedenih Platonovim učenjem o idejama.
Analiziraju se tri ključna pojma Heraklitove misli: λόγος, πόλεμος i ἀλήθεια. Λόγος Heidegger tumači kao sabiruće polaganje koje omogućuje prisutnost jesućega, πόλεμος kao napetost suprotnosti koja uvjetuje otkrivanje i uređenost svijeta, a ἀλήθεια kao neskrivenost nerazdvojivo povezanu sa skrivenošću (λήθη). U Heraklita se prepoznaje predmetafizičko mišljenje, nužno za obnovu pitanja bitka izvan onto-teoloških okvira.
Rad također prikazuje osnovne crte Heideggerove kritike metafizike, od Platona i Aristotela do novovjekovne filozofije, koja bitak svodi na prisutnost. Umjesto negacije metafizike, Heidegger dekonstruira metafiziku i zasniva drugačije mišljenje kao mišljenje događaja (Ereignis).
Završni dio rada ima metodički karakter, nudeći prijedlog nastavne obrade teme u srednjoškolskom filozofskom kurikulumu, s naglaskom na hermeneutičko čitanje i razumijevanje pojmova i termina koji ih iskazuju u izvornom jeziku.This thesis examines Heidegger’s interpretation of Heraclitus within the framework of his critique of Western metaphysics. Starting from the thesis that the history of philosophy is a history of the forgetfulness of being, Heidegger—through his encounter with the Presocratics, above all Heraclitus—discerns the possibility of grounding an originary thinking prior to the metaphysical dichotomies introduced by Plato’s doctrine of Ideas.
The analysis focuses on three key notions in Heraclitean thought: λόγος, πόλεμος, and ἀλήθεια. Heidegger interprets λόγος as a gathering laying that enables the presence of beings, πόλεμος as the tension of opposites that conditions disclosure and the order of the world, and ἀλήθεια as unconcealment inseparable from concealment (λήθη). In Heraclitus one recognizes a pre-metaphysical thinking, indispensable for renewing the question of being outside onto-theological frameworks.
The thesis also outlines the basic contours of Heidegger’s critique of metaphysics—from Plato and Aristotle to modern philosophy—which reduces being to presence. Rather than negating metaphysics, Heidegger undertakes a deconstruction of it and grounds a different kind of thinking as the thinking of the event (Ereignis).
The concluding part of the thesis is didactic in orientation, offering a proposal for classroom treatment of the topic within the upper-secondary (high-school) philosophy curriculum, with an emphasis on hermeneutic reading and on understanding the concepts and the terms that articulate them in the original language
Kultura putovanja kroz ogulinski kraj u prvoj polovici 20. stoljeća
Ovim radom analizirala se i prikazala kultura putovanja kroz ogulinski kraj u prvoj polovici 20. stoljeća. Kroz početke i razvoj kulture putovanja, ne samo u svijetu i već i na hrvatskom teritoriju, prikazani su različiti načini i vrste putovanja te utjecaj prometnih pravaca i razvoj turizma na širenje i afirmaciju same kulture putovanja. Za ogulinski kraj iznimno su značajne dvije prometnice: Jozefina i Rudolfina koji njime prolaze te razvoj i izgradnja željezničke mreže koje spajaju panonski i mediteranski prostor, te prolaze kroz ogulinski kraj – Željeznička pruga Karlovac-Rijeka i Lička pruga. Pored toga, iz iskustva i doživljaja znamenitih putopisaca kao i ostalih putnika tim prometnim pravcima prikazano je i njihovo osobno viđenje okoliša, naselja i općenitosti znamenitosti grada Ogulina, ogulinskog kraja i Gorskog kotara kao takvog
Conceptualization of convergent media credibility – content characteristics, media workers' and audience perception
U vremenu promjenjivog medijskog okruženja, neupitan je značaj medijske vjerodostojnosti kao temelja u odnosu medija i publike. Ranija istraživanja potvrđuju tu važnost u kontekstu medijskog sadržaja, ali i iz perspektive publike te medijskih djelatnika, a studije se dijele upravo s obzirom na to koji od navedenih segmenta vjerodostojnosti ispituju. Ovo empirijsko istraživanje prvi puta objedinjuje sva tri pristupa te kombinirajući kvantitativnu i kvalitativnu metodologiju daje kompletnu sliku o vjerodostojnosti konvergentnih medija, a s ciljem usporedbe vjerodostojnosti tiskanih i mrežnih izdanja tri hrvatske dnevne nacionalne novine. Studija kombinira tri znanstvene metode pa je tako kvantitativna analiza sadržaja obuhvatila 9538 članaka (1058 na kvartarnoj razini) objavljenih u novinama te na portalima Jutarnjeg lista, Večernjeg lista i 24sata, anketa o vjerodostojnosti medija provedena je na reprezentativnom nacionalnom uzorku od 1009 ispitanika u Hrvatskoj, a polustrukturirani intervjui s 15 novinara i urednika u tri redakcije. Za potrebe istraživanja bilo je potrebno postaviti i novi koncept vjerodostojnosti konvergentnih medija te je definirano šest kriterija vjerodostojnosti – autorstvo, relevantnost teme, kvaliteta obrade teme i njezine prezentacije, razlikovanje činjenica od komentara te nepristranost. Analiza sadržaja prema svakom od kriterija pokazala je da se članci napisani isključivo za mrežna izdanja značajno razlikuju od onih u tiskanim izdanjima sva tri medija, a pritom su potonji vjerodostojniji. Iako su novinari i urednici tih razlika svjesni te ih pripisuju drugačijim redakcijskim praksama, publika većinski ne razlikuje novine od portala, a ocjenu vjerodostojnosti za medijski brend donosi na temelju stavova o onoj platformi koju dominantno koristi, unatoč tome što ovo istraživanje zaključuje da su međusobno sličnija tiskana izdanja različitih medijskih tvrtki, nego tiskana i mrežna izdanja istog medija.In the ever-changing media environment, the importance of media credibility as one of the key factors of stability and strength in the relationship between the media and the audience is unquestionable. Previous research confirms this significance, both for the media themselves, and for the fulfilment of their role in society. Similarly, media credibility is important for democracy and the public sphere as well. Researchers began investigating media credibility in the first half of the 20th century. Considering the complexity of the concept, which includes "all components of the communication process" (Kurtić, 2007, p. 40), the research conducted so far can be classified within one of three main approaches – research on media content credibility, research on audience perception and research on the perception of media credibility by media workers. The first approach objectively analyses media messages and gives an answer to the question of media content credibility and its extent, while the latter approaches refer to the subjective perception of the media credibility by the audience or journalists and editors. It is therefore quite possible that research results obtained within different approaches do not overlap, and the only way to get a complete picture of media credibility is to conduct research considering all three approaches. Since research so far has often focused on only one aspect of credibility, the scientific contribution of this research study lies precisely in the fact that, for the first time in Croatia, it combines all three approaches with an emphasis on the analysis of convergent media in order to compare the credibility of print and online editions of three Croatian daily newspapers. The goals set in this dissertation are as follows: (1) To determine whether there are differences in the credibility of the content published in the print edition of Jutarnji list, Večernji list and 24sata and in their online editions; (2) To examine the opinions of the audience on the similarities and differences between the print editions of daily newspapers and their online editions; (3) To investigate the perception of the credibility of print and online publications by media workers. The topic of this dissertation is media credibility in the convergent environment, which implies that news media produce content for different platforms, both traditional and digital ones. The scientific problem in the focus of this research is whether content differs depending on the platform, i.e. whether different editorial policies are followed in the print editions of Croatian daily newspapers and in their online editions, and what the opinions of the audience and media workers are related to such newsroom practices. The dissertation is based on the thesis of George Brock (2013) who believes that regardless of technological innovations, different formats and numerous changes that journalism faces, it is crucial for the future of the media to preserve its set of values and ideals. The question is whether this is true for the analysed media outlets, i.e. whether Jutarnji list, Večernji list and 24sata manage to preserve their credibility in the convergent environment or whether they lose credibility by publishing content on digital platforms. Since this research combines all three approaches in examining media credibility, its distinctive feature is the use of combined quantitative and qualitative methodology and three scientific methods. In the first phase of the research, quantitative content analysis, which was conducted during a two-week period in November and December 2020, explored the content of 9,538 articles published in print and online editions of Jutarnji list, Večernji list and 24sata (1058 at the final level of analysis). In the second phase, in the same time period, a survey was conducted on a representative national sample of 1,009 respondents in Croatia. In the third phase, the methodology switched from quantitative to qualitative, and in February 2023, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 editors and journalists in three newsrooms2 . In addition to the aforementioned methodological scientific contribution, the theoretical contribution of this dissertation should also be highlighted. Namely, it defines a new concept of media credibility in the convergent media environment based on previous measurement scales. In fact, the existence of a measurement scale is crucial for designing and conducting credibility research, but no single, generally accepted scale actually exists. A number of studies have defined measurement scales on the basis of research which focused on the audience and media workers, as well as on the basis of research on media content. Yet, taking into account the specificity of the rapidly changing media environment, the redefinition of measurement scales is necessary. It is worth noticing that the newly established measurement scales should be based on the categories and conclusions of previous research, which enables a longitudinal comparison. The newly established concept of the credibility of convergent media in this research differs from the existing ones because it is adapted to the analysis of the convergent media, and the defined measurement scale is adapted and upgraded with the possibility of comparative analysis of print and online editions of the same media outlet. This concept consists of six defined credibility criteria - authorship, quality of the topic, quality of topic coverage, quality of topic presentation, unbiased reporting and distinguishing facts from opinions. Its theoretical foundation can be found in large-scale research of newspaper credibility conducted in Croatia in 2007 by a research group gathered around the Journalism Education and Training in Croatia (JETiC) Tempus project. The categories set in that research study, which also referred to key measurement scales from previous studies (Gaziano and McGrath, 1986; Bogart, 1989; Meyer and Kim 2003), were partly adopted, partly adapted, and some new ones were added considering today's digital environment. Also, the results obtained in that research were compared with the figures obtained now in order to be able to follow the development of the main trends in Croatian journalism. Before analysing media credibility according to each of the mentioned criteria, this dissertation first presents the results on the general dynamics of publishing and content consumption in order to get a detailed insight into the media landscape of daily newspapers and their online editions in Croatia. The credibility analysis then shows that the articles written exclusively for online editions differ significantly from those in the print editions of all three newspapers, with the latter being more credible. Moreover, the results show that the content of different media outlets (both print and online) is more similar than the print and online editions of the same media outlet. While journalists and editors are aware of these differences and attribute them to different journalistic routines and practices but also to the conditions created by the competitive market and the fight for clicks, the results also show that the audience mostly does not distinguish the differences between newspapers and news websites. In the dissertation, the results are broken down according to defined criteria, and their detailed analysis provides an overview of the credibility of the analysed media outlets. Authorship is defined as the first criterion of credibility according to which content is analysed. This criterion is used to examine whether the author of the article is named and, if so, who he or she is. The goal is to get an answer to the question to what extent journalists are named as the authors of the analysed articles, and to what extent the articles were editorials or taken from agencies and other media outlets. The results show that in that aspect, the print editions of Jutarnji list, Večernji list and 24sata are unquestionably more credible than the online ones, and it is proven that significantly more authored content is published in the newspapers. Although media workers generally agree that authorship is important for credibility, especially from the perspective of the audience, they admit that in online editions much less attention is paid to the author's work. This raises concerns for the relationship between the audience and the news media, given that the survey conducted on a representative sample proved that trust in journalists declines, especially among younger generations. The analysis of the quality of the topic as another credibility criterion refutes the assumption that content is trivialised in online editions. This criterion answers the question of what kind of content the media outlet focuses on. In general, the analysis of the sections and the number of articles showed that, given the unlimited space, more diverse content is published on online news websites. In this research study, the focus is placed on the articles published in the national politics, international politics and crime sections of Jutarnji list, Večernji list and 24sata. The results also show that both in newspapers and on news websites, hard news dominates compared to soft news. The interviewed journalists and editors agree that online editions open more opportunities but add that for them the issue of choosing topics on news websites actually poses a dilemma as to how much they should be guided by public interest and how much by the wishes of the audience expressed through clicks, especially knowing that these approaches often contradict each other. On the other hand, although the majority of the respondents believe that the quality of the topic is equal in the print newspapers and on news websites, as they think for each of the examined credibility criteria, in this case, a slightly larger number of respondents notice a greater variety of topics in online editions. The analysis of the quality of topic coverage as the third credibility criterion confirms again that more credible content is published in newspapers. In fact, the results show that longer and more complex journalistic forms of writing account for a larger share of articles published in print editions. While short news and other shorter forms dominate on news websites, longer forms like features, analyses, interviews and reportage dominate in newspapers. The audience does not notice this difference again, although the interviewed journalists and editors point out that their work approach to newspapers and online editions is completely different because of the specifics of the platforms themselves, different habits of the audience, but also because of the speed of work and more intense pace of online editions. The analysis of the quality of topic presentation as the fourth criterion of credibility involves the examination of headlines, eyebrow headings and standfirsts, photos and additional elements. The results of the research show that both in the case of newspapers and in the case of news websites, the headlines-related elements and photos come from the textual part of the article and are not misleading. When it comes to the informativeness of the headlines, it is concluded that in most cases they bring concrete information, with the exception of clickbait, which is analysed separately. The interviewed journalists and editors confirm that in the case of news websites they have to try harder to attract readers with presentation. On the other hand, the same audience mostly does not notice the difference in headlines on news websites and in newspapers. However, those respondents who do differentiate the degree of informativeness between platforms, note that they predominantly give preference to news websites as more informative and interesting. The analysis of unbiased reporting as the fifth criterion of credibility shows that in all three media outlets, regardless of the platform, few articles were published without any specified sources of information and that this issue does not threaten media credibility. However, a large number of articles which rely on only one source of information have been detected as a problem, and these are the articles that dominate in online editions. On the other hand, the figures show that the articles published in print editions had, on average, a larger number of sources used, while the advantage of online editions is that they published fewer articles with anonymous sources. Media workers once again attribute the different approach to sources primarily to the speed and much shorter time that journalists on the news websites have to write articles, while the audience once again believes that the platforms are equally biased or unbiased. The analysis of distinguishing facts from opinions as the sixth credibility criterion undoubtedly gives preference to online editions, since the authors' views were almost never expressed in the articles published on the news websites. However, this was the case in a significantly larger number of newspaper articles, in all three analysed media outlets. These results correspond to the conclusions of the previous criteria that the role of authorship is stronger in print editions, while articles on news websites are often almost unified. However, it is interesting that neither media workers nor the audience can give a clear assessment of the differences between the platforms in this respect. As for six analysed criteria of credibility, in three of them it has been confirmed that more credible content was published in the print editions of the analysed media outlets, for two it turned out to be the opposite, and one criterion was found to be equally valid for both platforms. Considering such findings, it has been proven that the content published in the analysed daily newspapers is more credible than the content published on their websites, but with a minimal number of confirmed criteria. However, what has definitely been confirmed is that the content published in Jutarnji list, Večernji list and 24sata differs significantly from the content written for the jutarnji.hr, vecernji.hr and 24sata.hr websites across a vast majority of criteria. The similarities between the two platforms stem from the fact that almost all the content that is published in newspapers is also published on news websites, but in online editions a significant amount of content is published exclusively for that platform, and it has now been proven that these articles are significantly different from those in newspapers - in terms of topics, topic coverage, topic presentation, use of sources of information, and in terms of distinguishing facts from opinions. Finally, media workers confirm that completely different journalistic practices exist on two platforms, and that the same authors often do not write for newspapers and news websites. Nevertheless, all content in newspapers and on news websites is published under the name of the same media brand. Readers then draw conclusions regarding the brand on the basis of the platform on which they predominantly consume media content. This is a phenomenon called "credibility transfer", which has also been proven by this research. Firstly, it has been confirmed that from the perspective of the audience, the content published on different platforms differs minimally, and that most respondents believe that they can assess the credibility of a media brand even if they only consume it through one platform. For readers, Jutarnji list is Jutarnji list, Večernji list is Večernji list, and 24sata is 24sata, regardless of whether it is a news website or a newspaper. However, it is important to emphasise that the respondents who predominantly consume online editions, when assessing the credibility of a media brand, give the media outlet a lower credibility rating on average than those respondents who mostly consume newspapers and assess the entire media outlet based on that content. This is in line with the results of earlier research which show that "online news consumers have lower levels of general trust in news media than those who primarily use traditional news media platforms" (Fisher, 2016, p. 1). There are two main conclusions in this dissertation. Firstly, an undisputed difference in the credibility of print and online editions of convergent media has been proven, which media workers are also aware of. Secondly, the audience does not notice these differences and has difficulty in critically approaching the content that the media publishes. The question of media literacy of readers is key, considering that, along with media professionalism, it is recognised as a key factor for establishing a strong relationship of trust between the media and the audience. Namely, it is impossible to preserve credibility without the media adhering to fundamental journalistic values and criteria on all platforms, but also without a media-literate audience that will be able to access media content competently
Burial practices in the Mesolithic-Neolithic transitional period in the area of the Iron Gate gorge
Na području Đerdapske klisure otkriveno je više od 500 mezolitičkih i ranoneolitičkih grobnih ukopa. Ovo je područje bitno za istraživanje prijelaznog razdoblja iz mezolitika u neolitik zbog njegova kontinuiranog naseljavanja. Izrazitno je bitno arheološko nalazište Lepenski Vir s nalazima jedinstvenih trapezoidnih građevina i kamenih skulptura s čovjekolikim ribolikim karakteristikama. Grobni rituali otkriveni na nalazištu jedinstven su prikaz mezolitičkih tradicija koje u prijelaznoj fazi dolaze u doticaj s ranoneolitičkim novinama.
Cilj rada jest prikazati promjene kroz koje prolaze zajednice na području Đerdapske klisure u vidu grobnih rituala u prijelaznom razdoblju iz mezolitika u neolitik.There are over 500 Mesolithic and early Neolithic burials discovered in the area of the Iron Gate gorge. This area is of great importance for research of the transitional period from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic due to its continuous settlement. The archaeological site of Lepenski Vir is extremely important with the findings of trapezoidal buildings and stone sculptures with stone-like fish-like characteristics. Burial practices discovered on the site are a unique representantion of Mesolithic traditions which in the transitional phase come into contact with early Neolithic novelties.
The main goal is to show the changes that the communities in the Iron Gates gorge are going through in the form of burial practices in the transitional period from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic
Financial and political institutions and their approach to cryptocurrencies. A comparison of monetary systems
Kriptovalute svake godine imaju sve važniju ulogu. U svojim početcima one su nastale kao antisistemska ideja radi čega ovaj rad polazi od pretpostavke da su financijske i političke institucije bile inherentno suprotstavljene kriptovalutama zbog očuvanja postojećeg institucionalnog poretka, odnosno svoje uloge u posredovanju i kontroliranju tijekova novca, a koju su kriptovalute, ovisno o načinu rada pojedinačne, težile ili potpuno isključiti ili značajno smanjiti.
U radu se analizira uloga tih političkih i financijskih institucija i odnos istih prema kriptovalutama i objašnjava moderni monetarni sistem te odnos države prema kreiranju novca i inflaciji te kako se kriptovalute u sve to uklapaju.
Naposljetku, rad sadrži i zaključke o tome gdje su kriptovalute danas te koliko su one u svezi s institucionalnim poretkom, a koliko s prvotnom idejom na kojoj su bile utemeljene.Cryptocurrencies are playing an increasingly significant role each year. In their early stages, they emerged as an anti-systemic idea, which is why this paper starts from the assumption that financial and political institutions were inherently opposed to cryptocurrencies in order to preserve the existing institutional order—namely, their role in intermediating and controlling monetary flows. Depending on their specific design, cryptocurrencies have sought either to completely eliminate or significantly reduce this institutional role. This paper analyzes the role of political and financial institutions and their relationship with cryptocurrencies. It also explains the modern monetary system, the state's role in money creation and inflation, and how cryptocurrencies fit into this framework. Finally, the paper presents conclusions on the current state of cryptocurrencies, examining the extent to which they remain aligned with the institutional order or with their original founding idea
Cooperation between professional associates of primary schools in the Republic of Croatia and teaching assistants: the teaching assistant's perspective
Ovaj diplomski rad tematizira suradnju stručnih suradnika i pomoćnika u nastavi zaposlenih u redovnim osnovnim školama u Republici Hrvatskoj. U teorijskome dijelu rada predstavljen je legislativni okvir rada stručnih suradnika i pomoćnika u nastavi kao i njihove suradnje. Empirijski dio rada donosi kvalitativno istraživanje čiji je cilj bio detektirati različite oblike suradnje pomoćnika u nastavi i stručnih suradnika te analizirati njihovu učestalost i učinkovitost iz perspektive pomoćnika u nastavi. Istraživanje je provedeno metodom online pisanoga intervjua na uzorku od 32 pomoćnika u nastavi. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju kako pomoćnici u nastavi kao najčešću i najučinkovitiju metodu suradnje ističu razgovor, a slijede ga sastanci, komunikacija e-mailom i razmjenjivanje poruka. Iako je razgovor najviše pozicioniran s obzirom na učestalost i učinkovitost, najveći broj sugestija za unapređenje suradnje sa stručnim suradnicima tematizirao je upravo komunikaciju. Pomoćnici u nastavi voljeli bi da je ona kvalitetnija, otvorenija i učestalija pri čemu mnogi od njih potiču češće sastanke i dodatna stručna usavršavanja. Na kraju rada navedena su određena ograničenja ovoga istraživanja, ali i naglašena važnost određenih na temelju ovoga istraživanja generiranih tema (primjerice, status pomoćnika u školskome kolektivu) koje mogu poslužiti kao smjernice za buduća istraživanja ove, u nacionalnome pedagoškome kontekstu aktualne istraživačke teme.This graduate thesis examines the cooperation of professional associates and teaching assistants employed in regular elementary schools in the Republic of Croatia. In the theoretical part of the paper, the legislative framework for the work of professional associates and teaching assistants, as well as their cooperation, is presented. The empirical part of the work brings qualitative research, the goal of which was to detect different forms of cooperation between teaching assistants and professional associates, and to analyze their frequency and effectiveness from the perspective of teaching assistants. The research was conducted using the online written interview method on a sample of 32 teaching assistants. The results of the research show that teaching assistants emphasize conversation as the most common and effective method of cooperation, followed by meetings, e-mail communication and messaging. Although the conversation is the most positioned with regard to frequency and efficiency, the largest number of suggestions for improving cooperation with professional associates was about communication. Teaching assistants would like it to be of higher quality, more open and more frequent, with many of them encouraging more frequent meetings and additional professional development. At the end of the paper, certain limitations of this research are stated, as well as the importance of certain topics generated on the basis of this research (for example, the status of assistants in the school team) which can serve as guidelines for future research on this current research topic in the national pedagogical context
Symbols and motifs in the representation of women in Federico García Lorca’s Gypsy ballads
El tema de este trabajo de máster es investigar la manera en que Federico García Lorca utiliza los colores, adjetivos, sustantivos y metáforas en Romancero gitano para representar a la mujer. Se analizan símbolos como el viento, la luna y las flores, así como colores como el verde, el negro y el blanco, a través de los cuales Lorca explora temas relacionados con las mujeres: sexualidad, normas patriarcales, muerte, miedo y conflictos internos. El trabajo también estudia el papel de los adjetivos y otros motivos en la conformación de los personajes femeninos, destacando sus roles sociales y estados emocionales. Las metáforas relacionadas con los elementos naturales crean imágenes complejas que reflejan el destino de las mujeres en un contexto cultural y social. A través del análisis de estos símbolos, el trabajo investiga la relación entre los colores y las figuras con aspectos de la experiencia femenina, como la belleza, la fuerza, el sufrimiento, la muerte y los conflictos internos, en un marco cultural, social y político más amplio de Andalucía y la poesía española de esa época.Cilj ovog diplomskog rada je istražiti kako Federico García Lorca u svom djelu Romancero gitano koristi boje, pridjeve, imenice i metafore u prikazu žene. Analiziraju se simboli poput vjetra, mjeseca i cvijeća, te boje poput zelene, crne i bijele, kroz koje Lorca istražuje teme povezane sa ženama: seksualnost, patrijarhalne norme, smrt, strah i unutarnje konflikte. Rad također proučava ulogu pridjeva i simbola u oblikovanju ženskih likova, naglašavajući njihove društvene uloge i emocionalna stanja. Metafore povezane s prirodnim elementima stvaraju složene slike koje odražavaju sudbinu žena u kulturnom i društvenom kontekstu. Kroz analizu ovih motiva, rad istražuje povezanost boja i figura s aspektima ženskog iskustva, kao što su ljepota, snaga, patnja, smrt i unutarnji konflikti, u širem kulturnom, društvenom i političkom okviru Andaluzije i španjolske poezije tog vremena

History of the furnishing of the parish church of St. Barbara in Jakšić
U diplomskom radu istražena je povijest opremanja župne crkve sv. Barbare u Jakšiću, mjestu smještenom u središtu Požeške doline. Analizira se povijesno-umjetnički razvoj crkve od prvih spomena u kanonskim vizitacijama s početka XVIII. stoljeća, kada je postojala kao drvena kapelica, do nastanka župne crkve koja se gradi 1780. godine. Crkva je više od stotinu godina stajala bez velikih popravaka, sve do 1909. – 1910. godine kada je izgrađena nova crkva koja danas dominira mjestom. Povijest crkve sv. Barbare nije detaljno istražena te ovaj rad nastoji popuniti prazninu pružajući uvid u bolje razumijevanje sakralnog objekta sv. Barbare u kontekstu župe i okolice. Istraživanje, temeljeno na dostupnim povijesnim izvorima, fokusira se na uređenje crkve, uključujući razne liturgijske predmete i crkvenu opremu koja se nabavljala kroz stoljeća.This master's thesis researches the history of the furnishing of the parish church of St. Barbara in Jakšić, a municipality located in the heart of the Požega Valley. It analyzes the historical and artistic development of the church, from its first mentions in the canonical visitations of the 18th century, when it existed as the old wooden chapel, to the construction of the parish church in 1780. It remained without significant repairs for over a century, until the construction of the new church in 1909–1910, which now dominates the municipality. The history of St. Barbara's Church has not been extensively researched, and this thesis aims to fill that gap by providing a deeper understanding of the sacred building of St. Barbara in the context of the local community and its surroundings. The research, based on available historical sources, focuses on the church’s interior, including various liturgical items and church furnishings acquired over the centuries
