    Mathematics teachers’ professional influence within teacher communities: the role of work experience and pedagogical content knowledge

    No full text
    Išankstinė prieiga<p> This study investigated if mathematics teachers’ professional experience or pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) could predict how often colleagues seek their colleagues for advice. Ninety-three Lithuanian secondary school mathematics teachers participated. The analysis found that only professional experience, not PCK, predicted how often a teacher was consulted. Seniority primarily influenced whether teachers were sought out for advice on peda gogical matters. Interestingly, there was a significant negative cor relation between professional experience and PCK. Cluster analysis identified four groups; teachers with less experience had the high est PCK but were rarely consulted. Meanwhile, more experienced teachers, regardless of whether they had high or low PCK, were frequently asked for advice. Both experienced groups were equally recognised as valuable sources of advice by their peers. The study suggests further research is needed to understand how PCK evolves over a teacher’s professional development and how its relevance may change over time.</p>Matematikos ir statistikos katedra / Department of Mathematics and StatisticsVytauto Didžiojo universitetas / Vytautas Magnus UniversityInformatikos fakultetas / Faculty of InformaticsŠvietimo akademija / Education AcademyMokytojų rengimo institutas / Teacher Training Institut

    Cemeteries as sustainable elements of urban green space: legal, ecological, and spatial perspectives from Central and Eastern Europe

    No full text
    As urbanisation accelerates, land-use planning has become a challenging factor in cities’ sustainable development. This process is based both on the historical heritage of Central and Eastern European cities and on concepts combining urban planning with ecology. Cemeteries, traditionally viewed as places of remembrance, hold significant potential as ecological assets within urban environments. On the other hand, they are problematic in relation to the location, neighbourhood, and form of past/present human activity. Many of these aspects are regulated in the investigated countries. This paper examines sustainable cemetery planning from legal, ecological, and spatial perspectives, highlighting their role in addressing environmental challenges while preserving cultural and social values. The research draws on comparative case studies from eight Central and Eastern European countries, combining an analysis of international and national legal frameworks with a functional–spatial assessment of cemetery surroundings. In addition, an environmental survey conducted among experts and residents highlights diverse perceptions regarding cemetery functions and their integration into urban landscapes. The findings demonstrate that policy-based management and multifunctional design are essential for enhancing the ecological, cultural, and social value of cemeteries. Reframing cemeteries as multifunctional green spaces offers a practical pathway toward more resilient and environmentally responsible urban development. Some important differences between the following countries have been observed.Bioekonomikos tyrimų institutas / Bioeconomy Research InstituteVytauto Didžiojo universitetas / Vytautas Magnus UniversityŽemės ūkio akademija / Agriculture Academ
