Classroom functioning and adaptations in teaching a student with Phelan-McDermid syndrome
Phelan-McDermid sindrom rijetki je genetski sindrom koji rezultira raznolikim i višestrukim
oštećenjima poput intelektualne teškoće, hipotonije, govorne teškoće i slično. Uočen je
nedostatak znanstvenih radova koji su primarno usmjereni na istraživanje razvojnih i odgojnoobrazovnih
potencijala osoba s Phelan-McDermid sindromom, a koji ovise o implikacijama
sindroma te o načinu rada koji se provodi kod kuće i u školi. Cilj rada bio je dobiti u uvid
razredno funkcioniranje učenice s Phelan-McDermid sindromom analizom prilagodbi tijekom
poučavanje učenice u školi te prikazati rad kakav provodi roditelj s učenicom kod kuće.
Provedeno je kvalitativno istraživanje u metodološkom okviru studije slučaja. Sudionici
istraživanja bili su učenica s Phelan-McDermid sindromom, edukacijski rehabilitator
(učiteljica) i majka učenice. Polustrukturirana opažanja, refleksivni razgovori i
polustrukturirani intervjui provedeni su u svrhu prikupljanja podataka, a tematska analiza u
svrhu interpretacije rezultata. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da je razredno funkcioniranje
učenice neometano s obzirom na njene sposobnosti i mogućnost praćenja odgojno-obrazovnog
procesa po određenom programu i metodama rada. Prilagodbe u poučavanju koje se provode
prepoznate su kroz tri teme: podrška u poučavanju, individualizirane aktivnosti temeljene na
specifičnim osobitostima učenice i prilagodba materijala. Pokazalo se kako se adekvatan
odgojno-obrazovni rad provodi kada su didaktično-metodički pristupi primijenjeni na temelju
ispravne procjene sposobnosti i vještina učenice, koje se pritom, po jednakom principu
nastavljaju provoditi i kod kuće. Prilagodbe utemeljene na vizualnom učenju i mehaničkom
pamćenju, intelektualnim i govornim teškoćama te uska suradnja učiteljice s majkom pokazali
su se kao ključni faktori za potporu i napredak učenice.Phelan-McDermid syndrome is a rare genetic syndrome that results in diverse and multiple
impairments such as intellectual disability, hypotonia, speech impairment, etc. There is an
evident lack of scientific papers that are primarily focused on researching the individuals with
Phelan-McDermid syndrome and their developmental and educational potential, which depend
on the implications of the syndrome and on the way the work is carried out at home and at
school. The aim of the work was to get an insight into the classroom functioning of a student
with Phelan-McDermid syndrome by analysing adaptations during teaching the student at
school and to show the work that the parent carries out with the student at home. The conducted
qualitative research was in the methodological framework of a case study. The research
participants were a student with Phelan-McDermid syndrome, an educational rehabilitator
(the teacher) and the student's mother. Semi-structured observations, reflective conversations
and semi-structured interviews were conducted for the purpose of data collection, which were
later analysed through content analysis for the interpretation of the results. The results of the
research showed that the class functioning of the student is unhindered with regard to her
abilities and the possibility of participating in the educational process according to a certain
program and work methods. Implemented adaptations in teaching are recognized through
three themes: support in teaching, individualized activities based on the specific characteristics
of the student, and adaptation of materials. It was shown that adequate educational work is
carried out when didactic-methodical approaches are applied on the basis of a correct
assessment of the student's abilities and skills, which at the same time, are continuously carried
out at home by same principles as in school. Adaptations based on visual learning and
mechanical memory, intellectual and speech difficulties, and close cooperation between the
teacher and the mother proved to be key factors for the support and progress of the student
A DEBATE ON MONOPSYCHISM AND POLYPSYCHISM IN ARAB PSILOSOPHY
U sklopu rada se izlažu argumentacije kao i interpretacije rasprave o
monopsihizmu i polipsihizmu na primjeru tri mislioca arapske filozofije srednjeg
vijeka; Al Farabi, Avicenna i Averroes , obuhvaćajući pri tome samo mali dio
jedne od najvećih problematika ovog područja Radi se dakle o pitanju
jedinstvenog djelatnog uma i mnoštva djelatnih umova, ko je dovodi u pitanje
vidove čovjeka do kojih nam je najviše stalo, a to jesu naša individualnost i
besmrtnost naše duše. Pri tom se u samome početku naglašava nerazriješenost već
navedenog pitanja u sklopu Aristotelove filozofije, na čija se naučavanja upra vo
navedeni mislioci i pozivaju. Stoga gledajući na izložena umovanja ovih arapskih
filozofa, valja reći da su ista svojevrsne interpretacija Aristotelova nauka koji
ostaje otvoren daljnjim interpretacijama sve do danas.As part of the paper, the arguments and interpretations of the debate on
monopsychism and polypsychism are presented using three thinkers of medieval
Arab philosophy as an example, namely ; Al Farabi, Avicenna and Averroes,
covering only a small portion of one of the biggest dilemmas in this field
Furthermore, i t is an inquiry into the single a ctive mind and a multitude of active
minds, which calls into question the aspects of man that we have grown to care
the most about, namely our individuality and the immortality of our soul. At the
very beginning, the unsolved nature of the above mentioned question within
Aristotle's philosophy, whose teachings are referred to by the above mentioned
thinkers, is emphasized. Therefore, looking at the exhibited thoughts of these Arab
philosophers, it should be said that they are all some kind of a personal
i nterpretation of Aristotle's teachings, which themself, remain open to further
interpretations until today
ANTE KUZMANIĆ U PRETPREPORODNOM RAZDOBLJU U DALMACIJI
Tema ovog rada je Ante Kuzmanić i njegovo djelovanje u pretpreporodnom razdoblju na području Dalmacije. Početak ovog rada donosi prikaz teškog položaja Dalmacije koja je bila izložena čestim promjenama vlasti i ratovima na njenom području. Nakon toga pobliže su prikazane nacionalne ideje i njihovo buđenje na prostoru Dalmacije. Nacionalne ideje prodiru iz drugih europskih, ali i hrvatskih zemalja. Najveći dio ovog rada odnosi se na Antu Kuzmanića, njegov život i djelovanje kao velikog hrvatskog preporoditelja. Ante Kuzmanić je jedan od prvih preporoditelja i jedan od osnivača časopisa Zora dalmatinska koji počinje izlaziti 1844. godine. Zora dalmatinska je također bila i prvi časopis koji na širem području Dalmacije izlazi na hrvatskom jeziku te je otvoren za cijeli puk, a ne samo za one iz učenih krugova. Uloga ovog časopisa je bila pripremiti narod i otvoriti put preporodu. Osim preporoditeljskog, opisan je i Kuzmanićev liječnički rad, kao i njegov položaj prijatelja naroda koji je nastojao, na sve načine na koje je mogao, pomoći i puku i jeziku.The subject of this paper is Ante Kuzmanić and his activities in the pre-revival period in Dalmatia. The beginning of this work presents the difficult situation of Dalmatia, which was exposed to frequent changes of governments and the wars in its territory. After that, national ideas and their awakening in the Dalmatian area are shown more closely. National ideas were penetrating from both European and Croatian countries. The major part of this paper refers to Ante Kuzmanić, his life and work as a great Croatian revivalist. Ante Kuzmanić was one of the first revivalists and one of the founders of the magazine Zora dalmatinska, which began publishing in 1844. Zora dalmatinska was also the first magazine in the wider area of Dalmatia to be published in the Croatian language and therefore was open to the entire population, not only for those coming from erudite circles. The role of this magazine was to prepare the people and pave the way for revival. Besides being a revivalist, Kuzmanić's medical work was also described, as well as his position of a friend to the people where he tried, in all the ways he could, to help both the people and the language
CROATIAN AND SERBIAN MEDIA ON THE EVENTS OF 1991, WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON THE SITUATION IN SLAVONIA
Dana 25. lipnja 1991. godine ostvaren je stoljetni san hrvatskoga naroda, stvorena je vlastita i samostalna država – Republika Hrvatska. U to vrijeme jača težnja Srbije za stvaranjem vlastitog cilja – Velike Srbije, unutar koje se, po njihovim planovima, trebala nalaziti i Hrvatska. Kako se hrvatsko stanovništvo s tim nije slagalo, s vremenom se u tzv. SAO Krajini počinju dizati pobune i blokirati ceste, što vodi do prvih oružanih sukoba, a samim time i do rata. U vrijeme sukoba 1991. na području Slavonije hrvatski su (i srpski) mediji intenzivno izvještavali o događanjima na tom prostoru. U svom su se djelovanju fokusirali na napetostima i aktualnim sukobima. Dosta često su djelovali subjektivno i nisu bili nepristrani, što se može uočiti u razlikovanju načina informiranja hrvatskih i srpskih novinara. Novinarstvo u ratnim uvjetima je pravi primjer koliko je stvaran utjecaj medija na javnost. Neki od hrvatskih medija imali su ulogu podignuti nacionalni ponos i motivirati vojsku za daljnja djelovanja, ali i ukazati na patnje koje proživljava civilno stanovništvo. Borba protiv srpskih snaga u medijima je poistovjećena s borbom Davida i Golijata. Stoga je važno i stvaranje identiteta hrvatskog ratnika čija je uloga bila podizanje morala i stvaranje razlike između agresorske i hrvatske vojske. Među njima se najviše ističu Hrvatski radio Vukovar te novine Glas Slavonije, Slobodna Dalmacija, Brodski list... Najjači i najveći utjecaj na javnost imala je ratna propaganda kojom su se većinski služili srpski mediji, poput novina Politike Ekspres i Večernjih novosti, ali i RTS. One su uz pomoć propagande vodile psihološki rat, kojem je glavni cilj s jedne strane bio obeshrabriti i demonizirati neprijatelja, a s druge osigurati potporu vlastitih čitatelja, odnosno građana i to na način da se stvore negativne konotacije s njihove strane prema neprijateljima. Na taj se način događa psihičko otupljivanje gledatelja, koje se dodatno povećava prikazom necenzuriranih snimki zločina, čime se također rađa i govor mržnje i uporaba pogrdnih naziva. U srpskim se novinama govor mržnje mogao naći u gotovo svakom broju te je za njih on predstavljao slobodu govora, a ne nekakvo vrijeđanje. Kako je jačao napad na Vukovar, tako je i govor mržnje postajao sve jači. Do potpuno nove razine mržnje dolazi izmišljanjem lažnih zločina, kao što je pronalazak 40 zaklane djece u Borovu Naselju, vijest puštena u javnost s glavnim ciljem da izazove bijes i gnjev prema Hrvatima, i to neposredno prije zločina na Ovčari (stoga postoji mogućnost da je ta vijest plasirana u javnost namjerno). Glavna funkcija srpskih medija bila je prikazati Srbe kao žrtve, a od Hrvata, Bošnjaka i Albanaca trebalo je stvoriti agresora, neprestano podsjećajući na povijest, odnosno razdoblje Osmanskoga Carstva i Drugog svjetskog rata.On June 25, 1991, the centuries-old dream of the Croatian people was realized, and their own and independent state, the Republic of Croatia, was established. At that time, there was a growing desire in Serbia to create its own goal - Greater Serbia, within which, according to their plans, Croatia should have been included. Since the Croatian population did not agree with this, rebellions began to rise in the so-called SAO Krajina over time, blocking roads, which led to the first armed conflicts, and therefore to war. During the 1991 conflict in Slavonia, the Croatian (and Serbian) media intensively reported on the events in that area. They focused on tensions and current conflicts in their reporting. Quite often, they acted subjectively and were not impartial, which can be seen in the difference in the way Croatian and Serbian journalists informed. Journalism in wartime conditions is a true example of how real the influence of the media is on the public. Some of the Croatian media had the role of raising national pride and motivating the army for further actions, but also pointing out the suffering experienced by the civilian population. The fight against the Serbian forces in the media is equated with the fight between David and Goliath. Therefore, it is also important to create the identity of the Croatian warrior whose role was to raise morale and create a difference between the aggressor and the Croatian army. Among them, Croatian Radio Vukovar and the newspapers Glas Slavonije, Slobodna Dalmacija, Brodski list... stood out the most. The strongest and greatest impact on the public was war propaganda, which was mostly used by the Serbian media, such as the newspapers Politika Ekspres and Večernje novosti, but also RTS. With the help of propaganda, they waged a psychological war, the main goal of which on the one hand was to discourage and demonize the enemy, and on the other hand to ensure the support of their own readers, i.e. citizens, by creating negative connotations with their enemies. This leads to the psychological numbing of the viewers, which is further increased by the display of uncensored footage of crimes, which also gives rise to hate speech and the use of derogatory names. In Serbian newspapers, hate speech could be found in almost every issue, and for them, it represented freedom of speech, rather some kind of insult. As the attack on Vukovar intensified, so did the hate speech. A completely new level of hatred is reached by inventing fake crimes, such as the discovery of 40 slaughtered children in Borovo Naselje, news released to the public with the main goal of provoking anger and rage towards Croats, and that right before the crime on Ovčara (therefore there is a possibility that this news made public on purpose). The main function of the Serbian media was to portray the Serbs as victims, while Croats, Bosniaks and Albanians were supposed to be portrayed as aggressors, constantly reminding of history, specifically the period of the Ottoman Empire and the Second World War
PRILAGODBA GRAĐANA KAŠTELA NA PROJEKT „ZELENO I MODRO“ – ISKUSTVA I STAVOVI GRAĐANA I UPRAVLJAČKIH AKTERA U GOSPODARENJU OTPADOM GRADA KAŠTELA
U ovom radu teorijski i empirijski nastoji se istaknuti važnost tematike zbrinjavanja otpada na primjeru Grada Kaštela iz sociološke perspektive. Cilj rada je ustanoviti ključne društvene odnose koji utječu na postupanja s otpadom, a njegova je svrha ponuditi sociološki odgovor na rješavanje društvenih problema i izazova u sustavu zbrinjavanja otpada. U anketnom istraživanju sudjelovalo je 200 ispitanika, a uz anketni upitnik koji se dijelio građanima korištena je i online anketa kako bi se obuhvatile sve dobne skupine. Građani su u većini zadovoljni sa sustavom zbrinjavanja otpada, ali ističu kako ga je potrebno unaprijediti. Nezadovoljni su cijenom usluge, ali im ona ne predstavlja veliki problem po pitanju odlaganja otpada. Isto tako ističu potrebu za jačom edukacijom te postavljanju više kontejnera po gradu. Također je proveden i polustrukturirani intervju sa odgovornim akterom u komunalnom društvu Zeleno i modro. Sugovornik ističe kako su građani u većini zadovoljni, a kao najveći izazov istaknuli su kulturu građana te manjak motivacije za sudjelovanje u edukaciji i odlučivanju u donošenju odluka vezanih za gospodarenje otpadom u gradu.In this paper, theoretically and empirically, the importance of the topic of waste disposal is emphasized using the example of the City of Kaštela from a sociological perspective. The purpose of the paper is to establish the key social relations that influence waste handling, and its aim is to offer a sociological response to addressing social problems and challenges in the waste disposal system. Two hundred respondents participated in the survey, and in addition to the survey questionnaire distributed to citizens, an online survey was also utilized to encompass all age groups. Most of the citizens are satisfied with the waste disposal system, but they point out that it needs improvement. They are dissatisfied with the price of the service, but it does not represent a significant issue for them in terms of waste disposal. They also emphasize the need for stronger education and the placement of more containers around the city. A semi-structured interview was also conducted with a responsible actor in the Zeleno i modro communal society. The interviewee points out that citizens are mostly satisfied, and the biggest challenge they face is the citizens culture and the lack of motivation to participate in education and decision-making regarding waste management in the city
KULT LIČNOSTI JOSIPA BROZA TITA
Josip Broz Tito predstavlja jednu od najznačajnijih ličnosti druge polovice dvadesetog stoljeća. Josip Broz komunistički je diktator i politički vođa koji upravlja socijalističkom Jugoslavijom 35 godina te tako značajno oblikuje i utječe na povijest naroda Jugoslavije. U ovom radu analizirali smo kult ličnosti koji je Komunistička partija uspostavila i održavala u socijalističkoj Jugoslaviji kako bi ljudima prikazala Josipa Broza kao nepogrešivog vođu, osloboditelja i lidera čiji je zadatak stvaranje socijalističkog društva i boljitak građana. Kult ličnosti analiziran je kroz kontrolu tiska i medija, filmova, pjesama, proslava državnih praznika, osnivanje pionirskih organizacija i kontrole obrazovnog sustava s ciljem održavanja snažnog kulta ličnosti koji je trebao osigurati opstanak vladajućeg režima i stvaranje socijalističkog društva po mjeri komunističkog režima. Također smo analizirali razdoblje poslije smrti Josipa Broza u kojem se kult ličnosti nastavio održavati kako zbog nedostatka osobe koja bi preuzela ulogu vođe tako i zbog nesposobnosti državnog aparata koji nije smogao snage učiniti potrebni odmak od kulta ličnosti i titoizma.Josip Broz Tito is one of the most important persons from second part of the twentieth century. Josip Broz was a communist dictator and a political leader which ruled in socialist Yugoslavia for 35 years and in that way, he greatly shaped and influenced history of people from Yugoslavia. In this master’s thesis we analyzed the cult of personality which Communist party created and nourished in socialist Yugoslavia for the purpose of creating such image of Josip Broz as infallible leader, liberator and leader tasked with creating socialist society and improvement of life standard. Cult of personality is analyzed through press and media control, movies, songs, celebrations of national holidays, creating youth organizations called Pioniri and through control of educational system. All which was made to create strong cult of personality with a goal of securing the ruling regime and creating a socialist society according to communist regime. We also analyzed a period after the death of Josip Broz Tito in which cult of personality was still strongly maintained due to lack of a person strong enough to take such a position and because of incompetence of state regime who could not gather enough strength to make a necessary move away from personality cult and Titoism
CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS
Predmet je završnog rada Kubanska raketna kriza. Cilj je rada analizirati Kubansku raketnu krizu, točnije uzroke, tijek i posljedice te krize za odnose između SAD-a i SSSR-a. Kubanska raketna kriza, kao jedinstveni događaj u političkim sustavima diljem svijeta, promijenila je geopolitičku situaciju na svjetskoj političkoj sceni kojom su dominirale SAD i SSSR kao dvije suprotstavljene velesile. Kriza je uključivala sukob odmjeravanja snaga u neposrednoj blizini SAD-a, a sam se sukob nije odvijao u tradicionalnom smislu riječi sukob jer nije došlo do upotrebe oružja. Nakon saznanja da Sovjeti dovoze nuklearno oružje na Kubu američki predsjednik John F. Kennedy naredio je pomorsku blokadu. U najnapetijim danima Kubanske krize nije bilo poznato kako će sukob završiti i hoće li doći do korištenja nuklearnog oružja. Srećom, kriza je uspješno okončana 28. listopada 1962. nakon što je Kennedy pristao ukloniti projektile iz Turske te obećao da neće biti invazije na Kubu, a sovjetski premijer Nikita Hruščov da će ukloniti nuklearne projektile s Kube. Kubanski vođa Fidel Castro u tom je sukobu završio tek na margini te je značaj Kube umanjen i zanemaren. Nakon završetka Kubanske krize nastupilo je novo razdoblje u hladnom ratu, odnosno politika detanta koja je označila otpuštanje napetosti u odnosima između dvije velesile.The subject of this paper is the Cuban Missile Crisis. The aim of the paper is to analyze the Cuban Missile Crisis, more precisely the causes, course and consequences of that crisis for relations between the USA and the USSR. The Cuban missile crisis, as a unique event in political systems around the world, changed the geopolitical situation on the world political scene, which was dominated by the USA and the USSR as two opposing superpowers. The crisis involved a clash of forces in the immediate vicinity of the US, and the conflict itself did not take place in the traditional sense of the word conflict because no weapons were used. After learning that the Soviets were bringing nuclear weapons to Cuba, US President John F. Kennedy ordered a naval blockade. In the most tense days of the Cuban Missile Crisis, it was not known how the conflict would end and whether nuclear weapons would be used. Fortunately, the crisis was successfully ended on October 28 1962, after Kennedy agreed to remove missiles from Turkey and promised that there would be no invasion of Cuba, and Soviet Prime Minister Nikita Khrushchev to remove nuclear missiles from Cuba. The Cuban leader Fidel Castro ended up only on the sidelines in that conflict, and the importance of Cuba was diminished and neglected. After the end of the Cuban crisis, a new period in the Cold War began, i.e. the policy of détente, which marked the release of tension in the relations between the two superpowers
VOJTJEH DELFIN-EXPERIMENTAL AND TEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE
Diplomski rad obrađuje do sada neistraženi opus hrvatskog arhitekta Vojtjeha Delfina
(1921. – 1981.) koji je djelovao u Jugoslaviji nakon Drugog svjetskog rata. Većina Delfinovih
projekata ostala je nerealizirana i nepoznata široj javnosti, a dostupne informacije ograničene
su na pojedine arhivske zbirke i članke objavljene u časopisima Čovjek i prostor i Arhitektura.
Delfin je projektirao objekte javne namjene, uređivao interijere te se bavio urbanističkim
problemima. Analizom prikupljenih podataka, ukazat će se na razvoj Delfinovog
modernističkog jezika u arhitekturi i urbanizmu, kao i eksperimentalnom i vizionarskom
pristupu u oblikovanju arhitektonskih objekata i mobilnih struktura. Najpoznatiji od njih je
turistički Hidromobilni sistem (1966.) u kojem Delfin zaokružuje arhitektonsku misao
usmjerenu na harmoničan odnos čovjeka i ambijenta.This master's thesis explores the currently unknown works of the Croatian architect
Vojtjeh Delfin (1921. – 1981.) who was active in Yugoslavia after World War II. Most of
Delfin's projects were never realized and remain unknown to the wider public, while available
information are limited to specific archival collections and articles published in journals Čovjek
i prostor and Arhitektura. Through his work, he designed public buildings, shaped interior
areas, and tackled problems of urbanism. By analysing the collected data, the development of
Delfin's modernist expression in architecture and urbanism will be shown, as well as his
experimental and visionary approach to shaping architectural objects and mobile structures. The
most famous ot these is his tourist Hydromobile system (1966.) in which Delfin completes his
architectural thought focused on a harmonic relation between man and his surroundings
FACTION AND FICTION IN THE ORAL EPIC OF THE SINJ REGION
Ovaj se rad bavi fakcijom i fikcijom u usmenoj epici Sinjske krajine. Sinjska krajina je prostor splitskog zaobalja kojega karakterizira sinjsko polje, najveće krško polje Zagore.
Općine koje su smještene u ovoj regiji su: Dicmo, Otok, Sinj i Trilj. Pojam fakcije povezan je s logikom i znanošću, a pojam fikcije povezan je s umjetnošću te podrazumijeva nešto nestvarno pa tako ne propovijedaju istinu nego nešto nestvarno.
O važnim povijesnim događajima i istaknutim osobama govorne povijesne predaje.
Prve predaje o hrvatskom narodu pronalazimo u djelu De administrando imperio odnosno O upravljanju carstvom Konstantina VII. Porfirogeneta nastalom oko 950. godine na grčkom jeziku. Najvažnije podatke o najranijoj hrvatskoj povijesti povjesničari su pronašli u 13., 29., 30., 31., 40. i 41. Uz predaje o najjranijoj povijesti Hrvata, na našim područjima najviše njih govori o višestoljetnom ropstvu pod osmanskom vlašću, one svjedoče o osmanskim osvajanjima, stradanjima, progonima i pogibijama kršćana i uništavanju njihovih crkva i samostana. Zasigurno su se kao najgori izločini istaknuli danak u krvi i pravo prve bračne noći. Vrlo česte su i etiološke predaje koje nastaju na temelju povijesnih događaja i osoba i sve iz ljudske potrebe za objašnjenjem uzroka i podrijetla nastanka naziva mjesta, lokaliteta, pokrajina, grobova, grobalja, prezimena; nastanka i nestanka jezera, vrela, bunara, čatrnja.
Većina je ovakvih predaja nastale na temelju pričanja iz života te su u tim predajama sačuvana sjećanja na znamenite ljude i događaje, što je slučaj sa lokalitetom Kosinac.
Vile i vještice česta su stvorenja u mnogim svjetskim mitologijama. U hrvatskoj i slovenskoj mitologiji vile su prikazane kao bajkovite ljepotice u dugim bijelim haljinama s dugom zlatnožutom počešljanom kosom s cvjetnim vijencem na glavi i zelenim očima, dok su vještice prikazane kako jašu na metli s grbom na leđima i dugim nosom te su ulazile kroz ključanice, jele djecu i spolno bludničile s đavolom. U životima puka Sinjske krajine najviše se ukorijenila legenda o obrani Sinja uz pomoć Gospe SinjskeThis paper deals with faction and fiction in the oral epic of the Sinj region. Sinj region is part of the coast of Split, that is characterized by Sinjsko polje, the largest karst field in Zagora. The municipalities located in this region are: Dicmo, Otok, Sinj and Trilj. The concept of faction is related to logic and science, and the concept of fiction is related to art and implies something unreal, so they do not tell the truth but rather something unreal.
Oral historical tradition reveals information about important historical events and prominent people. The very first oral stories about the Croatian people can be found in the work De administrando imperio, that is, On the administration of the empire of Constantine VII. Porphyrogeneta, written around year 950. in Greek. Historians found the most important information about the earliest Croatian history in the 13th, 29th, 30th, 31st, 40th and 41st. chapter. In addition to the oral stories about the earliest history of the Croats, most of the oral stories from our region tell the story of slavery under Ottoman rule that lasted for centuries, they testify to Ottoman conquests, sufferings, persecutions and deaths of Christians and the destruction of their churches and monasteries. Undoubtedly, the blood tribute and the right of the first wedding night stood out as the worst crimes.There are also very common etiological traditions that arise on the basis of historical events and persons and all from the human need to explain the causes and origins of the names of places, localities, provinces, graves, cemeteries, surnames; the creation and disappearance of lakes, springs, wells, fountains. Most of these oral stories were based on stories from real life,and memories of famous people and events have been preserved in these stories, which is the case with the locality of Kosinac.
Fairies and witches are common creatures in manny mythologies from around the world.
In Croatian and Slovenian mythology, fairies are depicted as fairy tale-like beauties in long white dresses with long golden-yellow combed hair with a floral wreath on their heads and green eyes, while witches are depicted as cretaures riding on broomsticks with humps on their backs and long noses, who enter houses through keyholes, ate children and sexually fornicated with the devil.
The legend of the defense of Sinj with the help of Gospa Sinjska is deeply rooted in the lives of the people of Sinj region
Constructivist Learning and Teaching Strategies
Konstruktivizam kao teorija učenja i poučavanja u odgoju i obrazovanju potiče pojedinca na
samostalnost stvaranje vlastite spoznaje. Jedan od ciljeva konstruktivizma je omogućiti pojedincu
učenje povezano sa svijetom koji ga okružuje. Značajnu ulogu u tome imaju učitelji razredne nastave
koji bi trebali raditi na osobnom i profesionalnom rastu i razvoju s ciljem unaprjeđenja
konstruktivističke nastave. U ovom diplomskom radu, željeli smo ispitati kako učitelji razredne nastave
ocjenjuju vlastite kompetencije koje su nužne za realizaciju konstruktivističkih oblika učenja. Nadalje,
željeli smo ispitati jesu li učitelji razredne nastave upoznati sa konstruktivističkim strategijama učenja
te koliko ih često primjenjuju u nastavi. Kako bismo prikupili informacije, s učiteljima smo proveli
kvalitativno istraživanje - polustrukturirani intervju podijeljen u dva dijela. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo
pet učiteljica razredne nastave iz različitih osnovnih škola. Prvi dio pitanja odnosi se na samoprocjenu
učiteljskih kompetencija, dok se drugi dio pitanja odnosi na učestalost konstruktivističkih strategija
odnosno problemske, projektne, istraživačke nastave te igre u nastavi. Rezultati dobiveni istraživanjem
pokazuju kako postoje razlike u samoprocjeni učiteljskih kompetencija za izvođenje konstruktivističke
nastave, te razlike prema učestalosti i primjeni konstruktivističkih strategija u nastavi. S ovim radom
željeli smo istaknuti važnost samostalnog konstruiranja vlastitoga znanja te ulogu učitelja u tom
procesu.Constructivism as a theory of learning and teaching in education and upbringing encourages the
individual to create his own knowledge independently. One of the goals of constructivism is to enable
an individual to learn about the world. Classroom teachers who should work on personal and
professional growth and development in order to improve constructive teaching play a significant role
in this regard. In this thesis, we wanted to examine how classroom teachers assess their own
competencies that are necessary for the realization of construcitivist forms of learning. Furthermore, we
wanted to examine whether classroom teachers were familiar with constructive learning strategies and
how often they apply them in teaching. To gather information, we conducted qualitative research with
teachers – a semi – structured intervju divided into two parts. Five classroom teachers from different
elementary schools participated in the study. The results obtained by this research show that there are
differences in self-assessment of teacher competencies for constructivist teaching and differences
according to the frequency and application of constructivist strategies of teaching. With this work we
wanted to emphasize the importance of independently constructing our own knowledge and the role of
teachers in this process
