DIFFERENCES IN EXPLOSIVE POWER OF THE LOWER LIMB BOYS OF ADOLESCENT AGE
No full textThe research was carried out with the objective of establishing statistically significant differences between football players of FC “Novi Sad†(N=21) from Novi Sad and students who are not active in sports (N=23) also from Novi Sad, in order to point out the positive effects of training processes on the explosive strength of legs. The battery of 5 motor tests has been applied: Counter Movement Jump - CMJ – the height of bounce, Squat Jump - SJ- the height of bounce, Running for 10 m from a high start, Running for 15 m from a high start and Running for 20 m from a high start. Applying this multivariate analysis of variance, the existence of statistically significant difference (P=0.00) in motor space has been established. With individual analysis of the difference the following differences in variables have been detected: Counter Movement Jump – the height of bounce (p=0.00), Squat Jump - the height of bounce (p=0.03) and Running for 10 m from a high start (p=0.05) in favour of football player. Statistically much higher level of factor for evaluation of explosive power of legs caused by the uniqueness of movements structure and uniqueness of the speed of movement and speed of reaction, the start acceleration, due to training processes, were noticed
VOCATIONAL TRAINING NEEDS OF UNEMPLOYED GRADUATES IN TARABA STATE
No full textThe purpose of the study was to identify the vocational training needs of unemployed graduates in Taraba state. Two research questions guided the study. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. The area of the study was Taraba state in North-eastern Nigeria, and the population of the study comprises of all unemployed graduates with a minimum qualification of Higher National Diploma (HND) in the state. Stratified random sampling was used to arrive at a sample size to 150. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire. The instrument was validated by three experts in vocational education who are lecturers in institutions of higher learning. 150 copies of the instrument were administered of which 148 copies were properly filled and returned. Frequency count, Simple percentage and Ranking were used to analyze the research questions. Findings from the study among others indicated that most of the unemployed graduates (72%) are male while the rest (28%) are female. None of them had a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D). Also, 3%, 53% and 44% had Master of Science (M.Sc.) Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) and Higher National Diploma (HND) respectively. Electrical Installation and Maintenance, tailoring and hair dressing are the first three most preferred vocational training needed by unemployed graduates in Taraba State. It is therefore recommended among others that, Government should take girl-child education with all the seriousness it deserves through the promotion of inclusive education. Universities should ensure that the entrepreneurship components of their programmes are overhauled to respond to the needs of the society and the students
EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN WITH RECOGNIZED RARE DISEASE AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY – TEACHERS` PERSPECTIVE
No full textThe studies concerned the creation of a picture of needs of children with a rare disease and intellectual disability in the post-positivist paradigm. The author used a quantitative strategy. She also used the preexperimental study, one-group pretest-posttest design - the experiment on the test group including the pretest and post-test, but without the control group - modified by the cascade strategy (double measurement), because it is more suited to the actual learning and consolidation of teachers' knowledge. The research involved teachers of randomly selected primary schools in Poland. On the basis of literature analysis, 27 educational needs were identified, which referred to three categories: rare disease, intellectual disability and common needs. Teachers creating a picture of educational needs of a child with a rare disease and intellectual disability perceive the most of their common features. With each stage of research, the awareness (ability to perceive) of educational needs related to diagnosing a rare disease in a child increased
THE MOTIVATION TO BE A TEACHER. VOCATION AND CHALLENGE

TEACHERS KNOWLEDGE: PRACTICAL FOUNDATIONS IN TECHNICAL TEACHING
No full textThis research was developed at the Amazonas Federal Institute, with agricultural science teachers in technical courses. Our objective was to gather the knowledge that guide the teaching practice, identifying what are the fundamentals knowledge’s that were build trough experience, aiming to verify the existence of a pattern in the teaching practice of these teachers. From these findings we propose teaching principles in technical education. We used grounded theory methodology, with semi-structured interviews and participant observation as instruments for collecting data. Through the data analysis emerged the theory entitled: “technical education teachers: a product of experience†which has the following categories: Technical foundations, technique as practice, teacher’s professionalism, financial dependency and specificities of technical teaching. We conclude that to be a teacher in technical education is to develop your teaching trough experience
CHILDREN'S WAYS OF THINKING WHEN COPING WITH EVERYDAY MATHEMATICAL SITUATIONS
No full textAlready at a very young age, children come across mathematical situations as part of their everyday life in preschool and at home. Engagement in mathematical situations helps children in developing their mathematical thinking. Listening to children while they are coping with such situations, help us learn more about their ways of thinking. This study describes the ways of thinking of four children aged 5.2–6.4 when dealing with nine everyday mathematical situations, involving addition, subtraction and division into equal groups. The children have given correct answers to almost all situations and used a variety of solution strategies. They have used mental calculations in some of the situations, while in others they have used their fingers and/or manipulatives. The children have paid attention to the numbers given in the situations and one child has surprized us by showing number sense, when using the compensation method for solving 7+5 and 8+4

No full textAt the end of the Consumer Classroom project, an impact assessment was carried out on some categories of people involved in education - students, future teachers, teachers, university teachers who train the future teachers, experts from the human resources centers or the training of the teaching staff. Thus, two activities were proposed, in two university centers in Romania. The result was that the CC platform is conducive to users - students, teachers and other categories - and it would be good if they addressed the primary cycle students as well
PRACTICE GUIDELINES FOR SPECIALISTS DEALING WITH PARENTS OF CHILDREN ON THE SPECTRUM: 10.24250/JPE/2/2019/DG
No full textParents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are known to present high levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. The impact of the diagnosis is clearly presented in the literature and refers to consequences affecting the couple and the family. The understanding of the psychological impact faced by the family leads to the highlighting of a new approach addressing an integrative treatment plan. In these contexts, the importance of specialist like family and couple therapist in order to help members stay connected and together is clear. Hence, for all the specialists dealing with families of children on the spectrum, it is very difficult to know how to efficiently help these families. All the specialists dealing with families of ASD children could benefit from having some ideas about the ways they could help. Furthermore, the current paper aimed to explore the exact impact of diagnosis and to offer some suggestions that could serve as guidelines in practice
