This research's general aim is to get an insight into the experiences, reasons and differences in substances abuse by the the first to fourth-year students of the Department of Primary Education University of Pula (N = 108) with the intention of planning prevention activities.The results show that there are differences in experiences and reasons for substances abuse by students from different study years. Fourth-year students do not use ecstasy, but they have tried it because they wanted to experiment or out of boredom. They do not use heroin and they have not tried marijuana unlike students from other years. Such indicators show a relatively favourable situation of substances abuse among students from the oldest group of examinees, especially when it is the first-year students who have the furthest experiences and reasons from the ones mentioned.This research's results give guidelines for prevention activities taking into consideration risk factors linked to substances abuse among students.
The goal of the article is to explore the relationship between reasons for using the Internet and time spent on the Internet. The article also deals with reasons for using the Internet and exposure to bullying among adolescents. The survey was carried out on 710 secondary school students, based on a questionnaire about the habits and frequency of using information and communication technology (I.C.T.) The basic statistical values and multiple linear regression analysis were used. Based on the evaluation of the obtained data, the main reason for Internet use are video games, which confirms the first hypothesis, i.e., the relationship between the reason for using the Internet and the time spent using it. The second hypothesis can also be confirmed, i.e., that there is a significant statistical correlation between the time spent using the Internet and exposure to bullying, in the sense that certain reasons for using I.C.T. contribute to lower exposure to bullying. The results point to the resilience factors under consideration in a sense that some of these variables contribute to a shorter use of the Internet, and so to a lower exposure to bullying. Based on the obtained results it is possible to plan further preventive interventions in that sense.
This paper starts from the assumption that the Roma, as members of a specific minority group in Istria, will be discriminated in many ways by other citizens, less satisfied with the protection offered to them by the society and so express different opinions about the level of information of the public by the police. The general aim of this paper would, thus, be to gain an insight in the opinions of the Roma and other Istrian residents about some aspects of the level of information of the public by the police. The sample is made of 200 members of the minority group of the Roma residents of the Istrian County and 200 other residents of the same country. The results show that there are differences in the opinions of the Roma and other Istrian residents about some aspects of the level of information of the public by the police. However, these differences were not shown as significant. The importance of the education of the Roma is pointed out in the paper. It should become a possible intercultural medium of their integration, lower assimilation, reinforcement of cultural autonomy and accessibility to various services and information.
Teaching is an educational process which sets aims and tasks. Education processes have several factors which can contribute to the success of education: teachers who are leading figures in classrooms and in the teaching process, students for whom the training is intended, curriculum content which is transmitted to students, and general conditions in the classes, including seat ranking and ambient factors, classroom equipment and so on. To be a successful teacher, despite these factors, teaching requires a favourable classroom's ambience. This research aims to determine the attitudes and opinions of elementary school teachers and high school teachers (N=357) towards the influence of the classroom's ambience during the teaching process. According to the survey results, participants believe that a positive or negative classroom atmosphere affects the quality of the teaching process, it affects the teacher and his or her quality of teaching, behaviour and mood, as well as the pupils and their responses, and it can influence the quality of their results. Furthermore, we can assume that elementary school teachers and high school teachers use different methods to improve the positive ambience in their classrooms, they respect other teachers' suggestions, and all of this helps to create a motivating atmosphere for pupils' progress.
