Scientific and practical examinations of pedagogues, educators and teachers are directed to finding the approach, methods and strategies which would motivate students and make them more active in the learning process. One of the ways to achieve this is flipped learning. This article aims to describe some characteristics of flipped learning, and also questions the pedagogic foundation, justification and limits of the usage possibilities and the potential challenges in the implementation of this model into the educational system. The research reports findings based on the trends in flipped learning. By replacing activities carried out in the classroom and at home, students are put into a new situation. A student independently realises the initial contact with the teaching content at home, whereas in the classroom, the activities (with the teacher and other students) that provide understanding and application of the learned are implemented. Keywords: Education, flipped learning, students, teacher, pedagogic.
Student misbehaviour is an increasing problem of contemporary school. The aim of this research was to examine the extent to which teachers perceive student misbehaviour, how self-efficient they are, how satisfied they feel with support from their environment and with the teaching job itself, and to which extent they experience the burnout syndrome. The research included 603 primary and secondary school teachers in the Republic of Croatia, and it found quite low, but significant negative correlations between student misbehaviour and teachers’ self-efficacy, personal accomplishment, and job satisfaction. Besides, positive correlations between student misbehaviour and teacher burnout were also proven. Statistically significant differences between primary and secondary school teachers were found in their experience of student misbehaviour, dealing with adversities related to student misbehaviour and provided support from expert associates. The results of regression analysis indicate that the overall misbehaviour and satisfaction with help from parents significantly contribute to satisfaction with the teaching profession, and emotional exhaustion and depersonalization lead to decrease of job satisfaction. The results also indicate that demographic characteristics, namely years in service and the type of school, do not contribute to the explanation of neither burnout nor job satisfaction. The implications applicable in practice could relate to the need for preventing student misbehaviour and empowering teachers, regardless of their in-service years and the type of school they work at. Keywords: burnout, classroom management, job satisfaction, quantitative methodology, self-efficacy
The aim of this research was to examine students’ perceptions of online teaching, their own engagement and abilities, and their success expectancy in the future profession. 713 students attending the University of Zagreb, Croa-tia, took part in the research. The results indicate that students spend an aver-age of 6 hours studying per day. Statistically significant differences were identified in students’ perceptions of the way in which the teaching process was conducted, support provided by professors and the engagement of stu-dents in terms of the time they spend in organized and independent studying. Students who study less than 5 hours per day tend to give lower rating to the quality of the teaching process and their own engagement. Students who study more than 6 hours per day tend to give lower rating to the support pro-vided by professors. Regression analysis revealed that the perceptions of the way in which the online teaching process was organized and conducted, of the abilities, engagement and hope significantly contribute to the interpreta-tion of success expectancy in the future profession. Students’ age was not found to be a significant predictor.
Students’ satisfaction with school is subjective, cognitive appraisal of overall positivity of school experiences, and precisely because it represents the key aspect of children’s overall perception of quality of life, it is important to find out what influences students’ school satisfaction and to which extent. The goal of this research was to establish whether self-efficacy and engagement function as mediating variables in the relationship between classroom climate and students’ school satisfaction. The research included 597 students from primary schools in Zagreb, Croatia. A structural equation model was designed and tested. The model testing showed that positive classroom climate has statistically significant and positive effects on self-efficacy and engagement. Furthermore, self-efficacy has a significant positive impact on explaining engagement. At the same time, negative classroom climate has a significant positive influence on engagement, which in turn contributes to the final effect on school satisfaction. The model has explained 56% of the school satisfaction variance in total.
Cilj je ovog istraživanja bio ispitati povezanost pristupa poučavanju sa samoefikasnosti, zadovoljstvom životom i poslom učitelja te u kojoj mjeri učitelji u osnovnoj školi doživljavaju pozitivne i negativne emocije. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 254 učitelja iz osam zagrebačkih osnovnih škola. Rezultati su pokazali značajne povezanosti između pristupa poučavanja i dimenzija samoefikasnosti učitelja (angažiranost, strategije poučavanja, upravljanje razredom). Zadovoljstvo poslom značajno je povezano sa zadovoljstvom životom i pozitivnim emocijama. Negativne emocije značajno su negativno povezane sa zadovoljstvom poslom i životom. Učitelji koji imaju pristup poučavanja usmjeren na učenika statistički se značajno razlikuju od učitelja s pristupom usmjerenim na učitelja u dimenziji samoefikasnosti (strategije poučavanja) te češće doživljavaju pozitivne emocije: zainteresiranost, uzbuđenost i pozornost. Učitelji razredne nastave pokazali su veću angažiranost u odnosu na učitelje predmetne nastave. Učitelji s više od deset godina radnog iskustva statistički se značajno razlikuju od učitelja s manje godina radnoga iskustva u pristupima poučavanju i samoefikasnosti te češće doživljavaju ponos i budnost. S druge strane, učitelji s deset i manje od deset godina radnoga iskustva češće se osjećaju prestrašeno.
