“…Parents usually escape this vicious circle by home tutoring and shadow education. These approaches are more easily accessible by well-off parents (Bray, 2006; Šťastný, 2016). For well-off failing students, home tutoring and shadow education in fact provide “real” education and education in school is “shadowing” as it provides only a limited source of knowledge and skills.…”

Vocational and professional training tracks can be a good option for many adolescents, many of whom enter these programs with a sometimes hidden burden of negative experiences and attitudes to school. This paper explores the sense of academic futility in future VET students at the end of lower secondary education. Drawing on qualitative interviews with 25 Czech students in which they described their experiences from lower secondary school, we found that despite the students’ beliefs that their achievement is the product of their own effort, they describe situations from which it is evident that they noticed (i.e., perceived) that they actually did lose control over their results. At the same time, they explicitly claim that they have full control over their own achievement. This implicit sense of academic futility is created by several mechanisms at the school level: the curriculum, ineffective teaching, grading leniency, and teachers’ distrust of students’ capabilities.

“…Habitat requirements of individual species were based on the information in Storchová and Hořák (2018), updated and slightly modified using our own field experience and regional literature (Hudec & Šťastný, 2005;Šťastný & Hudec, 2011Šťastný & Hudec, , 2016 and expressed as species presence/absence in the following six habitats during the breeding season: urban, open vegetation mosaic (comprising non-forest habitats with sparse trees or shrubs), farmland, wetland, coniferous forest, deciduous forest. Each species could be assigned to one or more habitats.…”

“…Findings demonstrated that remediation should be planned in accordance with recent research studies to ensure best practices with a written policy as a guidance for tutors and teachers in implementation. This finding is compatible with previous research proposing that research-based remedial programs serve the purpose of remediation and eventually enhance students' academic achievements (Denton et al, 2010;Lalley & Miller, 2006;Saddler & Staulters, 2008;Šťastný, 2016). These researchers suggest that effective remedial programs are based on personalized plans that are continuously updated to fit students' needs and support their achievements.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of remedial programs employed by the Elementary School of HOPE orphanage in Lebanon. The study aims to do so by assessing students’ academic achievement after remediation as well as stakeholders’ perceptions of the program. The research design employed is a sequential explanatory design. The grades of a purposive sample of 35 students were compared before and after remediation in Reading comprehension and math. In-depth interviews with remedial tutors and observations of remedial sessions followed. Data results from all instruments were triangulated to ensure reliability. Findings indicate that the remedial program is ineffective because remediation is not well-planned, tutors are not qualified, and the allotted time is not dedicated to academic work only. Findings suggest the need for re-designing the remedial program based on diagnostic assessments of students’ academic status and for planning differentiated remedial procedures accordingly.
