The purpose of this systematic literature review is to explore the area of digital Game-Based Learning (GBL) for students with intellectual disabilities as a tool that enables positive impact on learning and mastering specific skills in order to make recommendations for future research. Twenty-one studies were selected from different databases. The results showed that the most common type of game was serious game, and the most common used technology was PC with additional equipment, but tablets were also often used. In addition, the studies were more focused on the development of cognitive abilities rather than of adaptive skills.

The aim of this paper is to provide guidelines for reflection and improvement of transversal competences of teachers in the field of self-regulation, education for sustainable development and inclusion in the context of their continuing professional development. Also, the moderatory effect of personality based on literature analysis and insight into empirical results will be demonstrated. Teachers' reputation determines the framework of their professional development and is strongly influenced by social challenges, globalization, integration, sustainability, technological development, etc. In addition, a strongly biologically determined teacher's personality significantly moderates the relationship of their professional development and transversal competences. Transversal competences are recognized as the teachers' important skills in their organization of the teaching and learning process and their professional development, as well as in the process of them teaching these competences to their students. "Learning to learn" is recognized as the key lifelong learning competence in the European policy documents and the environmental and sustainability issues are some of the most common transversal themes of the general education curricula. The focus on the transversal competences is relatively new in education policies and has emerged as a reaction to the increased professional demands for a response to current educational needs of all students in inclusive environments. Analysis of transversal competences in the aforementioned three fields and their connection to personality traits will contribute to new knowledge regarding the teachers' professional education. Therefore, this paper will present the theoretical frameworks of the complex relationship between the teachers' reputation, personality and transversal competences in the light of the contemporary educational contexts.

Sažetak: Hrvatska obrazovna politika inkluzivna je i usmjerena na promicanje inkluzivnih vrijednosti u zajednici. Učiteljska uvjerenja i stavovi prema inkluzivnom obrazovanju ključni su za uspješno obrazovanje učenika s teškoćama u redovnim razredima. U radu se polazi od hipoteze da učitelji smatraju da inkluzivno obrazovanje podjednako doprinosi razvoju učenika s teškoćama i njihovih tipičnih vršnjaka te da se učitelji međusobno razlikuju u odnosu na neka socio-demografska obilježja. U istraživanju su sudjelovala 274 učitelja iz dvije županije u Republici Hrvatskoj. Korišten je preveden i prilagođen upitnik Učiteljskih uvjerenja o inkluziji učenika s teškoćama (Teachers' Opinions about the Inclusion of Children with Moderate to Severe Special Needs in General Education Settings (Linn i Coelho da Silva, 2014). Značajnom redukcijom varijabli dobivena je skala učiteljskih uvjerenja o vrijednostima inkluzivnog obrazovanja, dobrih metrijskih karakteristika, koja sadrži 2 faktora: (1) Inkluzivno obrazovanje doprinosi razvoju tipičnih učenika i (2) Inkluzivno obrazovanje doprinosi razvoju učenika s teškoćama.Učitelji se slažu da inkluzivno obrazovanje doprinosi razvoju tipičnih učenika, a djelomično se slažu da doprinosi i razvoju učenika s teškoćama. Viša razina slaganja glede tvrdnje da inkluzivno obrazovanje doprinosi razvoju tipičnih učenika prisutna je kod mlađih učitelja s višom razinom obrazovanja, dok učitelji koji su slušali kolegij o inkluzivnom obrazovanju tijekom inicijalnog obrazovanja u većoj mjeri smatraju da inkluzivno obrazovanje doprinosi i razvoju učenika s teškoćama, Upravo uvjerenje da inkluzivno obrazovanje doprinosi razvoju inkluzivnih vrijednosti kod svih učenika te da učenici s teškoćama mogu akademski i socio-emocionalno napredovati u redovnim razredima, snažno određuje spremnost učitelja za korištenje prilagodbi u poučavanju učenika s teškoćama i razvijanje inkluzivnog razrednog ozračja. Uz razvoj kompetencija za poučavanje u inkluzivnoj nastavi, neophodno je i oblikovanje takvih uvjerenja u učitelja koja promoviraju inkluzivne vrijednosti.Ključne riječi: inkluzivno obrazovanje, inkluzivne vrijednosti, učitelji, uvjerenja. Abstract: The education policy in Croatia is inclusive and therefore promotes inclusive values in the community. Teachers' beliefs about and attitudes towards inclusive education play a key role in the successful education of students with disabilities in regular classes. This paper is based on the hypothesis that teachers -especially younger and less-experienced teachers, as well as elementary school teachers -believe that inclusive education contributes equally to the development of students with disabilities and to the development of typical students.. The study included 274 teachers from

• Managing behaviour is a complex component of the teaching process and one that teachers consistently identify as an area of great concern. This study aimed to examine teachers' perceptions regarding their competence for managing the challenging behaviour of young children and to identify the factors that affect these beliefs. A total of 204 preschool teachers working in Kindergarten Rijeka, Croatia participated. Teachers completed an exploratory survey of self-perceptions of competence in managing the challenging behaviours encountered in their classrooms. Factor analysis revealed a one-factor structure for self-perceived competence, and all scales showed good psychometric properties. Preschool teachers' assessment of their own competence in managing challenging behaviour was explained by the level of support they received from other professionals when faced with children's challenging behaviour and prior coursework in classroom management. Participants with higher levels of professional support and more coursework in classroom management estimated themselves to be more competent in managing challenging behaviour. The results suggest that Croatian preschool teachers need training in classroom management and greater access to professional support personnel when working with students with challenging behaviours.Keywords: classroom management, preschool teachers, self-perceived competence, behaviour management • Obvladovanje vedenja je kompleksna komponenta procesa poučevanja in eno izmed področij, ki ga vzgojitelji označujejo kot enega izmed področij skrbi. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kako vzgojitelji samoocenjujejo svoje kompetence pri obvladovanju neželenega vedenja predšolskih otrok, in ugotoviti dejavnike, ki vplivajo na ta prepričanja. V okviru raziskave so sodelovali 204 vzgojitelji iz Vrtca Reka, Hrvaška. Vzgojitelji so izpolnili vprašalnik o samooceni njihovih kompetenc pri obvladovanju neželenega vedenja, ki so ga zaznali v svoji vrtčevski skupini. Faktorska analiza je pokazala enofaktorsko strukturo za samooceno kompetenc, pri čemer so lestvice pokazale dobre psihometrične značilnosti. Ocena vzgojiteljev glede lastnih kompetenc pri obvladovanju neželenega vedenja otrok je pojasnjena z ravnjo podpore, ki jo dobijo od drugih strokovnjakov, ko so soočeni z neželenim vedenjem, in s predhodnim delom pri vodenju skupine. Udeleženci z višjo ravnjo strokovne podpore in več predhodnega dela pri vodenju skupine so se samoocenili kot kompetentnejši pri obvladovanju neželenega vedenja otrok. Rezultati kažejo, da hrvaški vzgojitelji potrebujejo usposabljanja za vodenje razreda/skupine in večji dostop do strokovnega podpornega osebja, ko delajo z učenci z neželenimi vedenji.Ključne besede: vodenje razreda, vzgojitelji, samoocena kompetenc, obvladovanje vedenja c e p s
