WHOLE-CLASS AUTOMATIC PROMOTION IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOL AND PUPILS’ LITERACY ACHIEVEMENT

Achu Charles TANTE — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The present study had two research questions to investigate whole-class promotion in primary school and pupils’ achievement in literacy. The study adopted the cross-sectional survey research design. The target population was composed of all teachers and pupils in primary schools in Fako Division, in Cameroon, while the accessible population was made up of all Classes Four (Grade 4), Five and Six pupils, and 60 teachers, selected using purposive sampling techniques. The instruments for data collection were a structured questionnaire and an interview guide. The descriptive statistical tools used were frequency count, percentages, and multiple response sets while Spearman’s rho test was used in testing the study's hypotheses. The findings of the study indicated that teachers’ use of alternative resources has a significant effect on pupils’ literacy achievement. Findings also indicated that remedial teaching has a significant effect on pupils’ literacy achievement. Some recommendations included both trainees and qualified teachers to receive more training regarding alternative resources and remedial teaching.

Keywords: Whole-class promotion, alternative resources, remedial teaching.

STRATEGIES FOR INCLUSIVE EDUCATION AND INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION IN PRIMARY SCHOOL

Kaloyan DAMYANOV — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This article explores strategies for inclusive education and intercultural communication in primary schools. The primary objective of this study was to identify effective practices that address the challenges faced by primary school educators, such as inadequate training, limited resources, and managing large class sizes. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collected through surveys of 75 novice teachers in Sofia, Stara Zagora, and Pazardzhik, Bulgaria. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis to identify trends, strategies, and barriers to current practices. The results highlighted the predominant use of differentiated instruction, cooperative learning, and culturally sensitive teaching as key strategies for fostering inclusion and intercultural communication. Based on these findings, this study recommends enhancing teacher training programs, improving access to resources, and promoting co-teaching partnerships between primary and resource teachers to better support inclusive practices in primary education.

Keywords: Inclusive education, intercultural communication, primary teachers.

EXAMINING NUMBER SENSE SKILLS OF KINDERGARTEN CHILDREN

Ersin PALABIYIK, Neşe IŞIK TERTEMİZ — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The aim of this study is to determine the number sense skills of preschool (Kindergarten) children. In the study, survey design, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The study group consists of a total of 114 children attending all the kindergartens (5 kindergartens) in the city center of Tunceli in the 2020-2021 school year. The data collection tool used in the study is the "Preschool Number Sense Test" developed by the researchers. In the analysis of the data, the correct answers obtained by using number sense skills, the correct answers obtained by using rule and operation-based methods, the false answers obtained by using number sense skills, the false answers obtained by using rule-operation-based methods and the questions left unanswered were considered. As a result of the analysis made, it was determined that preschool students used rule- and operation-based methods more in problem-solving when dealing with questions, and it was seen that they used number-sense-based methods less frequently.

Keywords: Number sense, number sense test, kindergarten children.

INVASTIGATION OF PATIENT AND HOSPITAL PERCEPTIONS OF CHILDREN PARTICIPATING IN EDUCATION AT THE HOUSE OF COMPASSION

Zeynep Nur AYDIN KILIÇ, Fatma TEZEL ŞAHİN, Şeyma Sultan BOZKURT — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This study was conducted to determine the perceptions of children, one of whose relatives was undergoing chemotherapy treatment and who participated in education at the House of Compassion, about the patient and hospital perceptions and their views on the House of Compassion. Case study design, one of the qualitative research designs, was used. Criterion sampling, one of the purposeful sampling types, was used to determine the study group. The study group consisted of 20 children who participated in the training at the House of Compassion in a hospital in Ankara and one of whose relatives was undergoing chemotherapy treatment. In the study, "Demographic Information Form" was used to collect information about children and parents, "Child Interview Form" and "Children's Pictures" were used to determine children's perceptions of patients, hospital and House of Compassion. The data obtained were analyzed using the descriptive analysis technique. As a result of the research, it was observed that children knew the definition of the hospital, the personnel working in the hospital, and the practices carried out, and emphasized the healing and therapeutic aspects of the hospital. Children reported coming to the House of Compassion to play games, have fun, and have a good time. It was determined that children felt happy and sound in the House of Compassion and that they liked the House of Compassion. As a result, it can be said that the House of Compassion has positive effects on children's perceptions of the patient and the hospital.

Keywords: Children, cancer, chemotherapy, house of compassion.
