In this paper, authors point out the need and possibilities of integrating content from literature for children into the process of preschool mathematics education. On concrete examples of various forms of literature for children (picture book, poetic text, story, fairy tale, numerator) point out the role of these contents in the process of learning and building mathematical concepts in preschool mathematical education. The contents from literary for children are viewed as a starting point in the work on mathematical education activities whose role is to create a real-life context, which is close to the child, in which the child is accustomed, in which the child is motivated to participate, as content that excites curiosity and interest in learning of abstract mathematical concepts, and which visualizes mathematical concepts and helps crossing from concrete performances to abstract mathematical performances.
Identity is a very complex structure. There are many aspects of identity and those start to form and develop in early childhood This study explores specific age-related characteristics of children which influence the forming and shaping of different layers of identity and points out the important role that legislature and various social environment factors have in this process. Special attention is dedicated to the positive influence that preschool teachers and institutions have and to a range of possibilities that literary texts offer in this whole process. Concrete examples illustrate how complex semantic structure of a literary text can initiate conversation about different layers of identity. The advantages of this kind of work are numerous and are reflected in the fact that the development and the strengthening of the identity is approached from an integrative standpoint, given the fact that we are simultaneously working on children’s speech development through reading activities and literary text analysis. The main implication of this study is 1) the need for conducting future research with the aim of identifying literary texts which, apart from their aesthetic quality, also possess semantic potential as a tool for learning about identity and 2) further work on strengthening the competences of preschool teachers so that they can integrate activities directed towards development of the child’s identity in all the areas of their educational activities within preschool institutions and carrying them out with continuity.
уводУспешна интерпретација књижевног дела захтева од наставника да пронађе најбоље методолошке и методичке приступе који ће омогућити да се целовито сагледају сви важнији аспекти књижевног текста. То није лак задатак, јер је избор ваљаних методолошких и методичких приступа за интерпретацију књижевног текста сложен и виш еструко условљен.
Various advantages and disadvantages of homework are discussed in the literature. The aim of this paper is to determine the advantages and disadvantages of homework practices in Serbian Language taught in junior grades of primary education. Implementation practices were examined from the standpoint of teachers with the aim of determining: the dynamics in assigning and reviewing homework; assessment methods and ways of communicating feedback; representation of different types of homework; and the evaluation of their contribution. The study was conducted in 2020 and 2021 on a sample of 123 teachers. The obtained results indicate that the homework practices in Serbian Language classes are characterized by the frequency and diversity of homework assignments, individualized approach, reviewing regularity, and positive perception of their contribution. However, the results also raise several important questions-excessive student workload, functionality of assessing homework as a learning tool, homework assessments, encouraging cooperative homework and communication related to it-and indicate the need for further research.
