The Water Area Management Plan 2016-2021 assessed reservoirs as natural water bodies. This assessment included their ecological condition. The goal of the intercalibration procedure is to achieve consistency, comparability of results and evaluation of the ecological state based on the biological element of macrozoobenthos quality. The paper presents the results of research on the Cakovec HPP and Dubrava HPP reservoirs on the Drava River from 1999 and 2003. Complex studies of individual biological elements of macrozoobenthos included seasonal monitoring. They are part of the overall state of the cenosis and water quality with the aim of determining trophic characteristics and water quality by monitoring the quantitative and qualitative composition of the population of macrozoobenthos.The research obtained the values of the abundance of individual taxa of bottom macrofauna by reservoir stations, the total number of individuals, the number of indicator individuals, the saprobic index (SI), the number of taxa and the number of indicator taxa. The author compared the obtained results with the old and new Regulations on water quality standards in the prescribed indices and limit values of the macrozoobenthos biological element. The obtained results show the bad ecological condition of the reservoirs (as well as the ecological potential). In 2021, this area officially became part of the Five-State Biosphere Reserve.
Primjenom metoda aktivnog učenja izbjegava se prenošenje gotovih činjenica i zaključaka te se znanja stječu kroz rješavanje izazova i problema. Aktivno učenje često podrazumijeva samostalno istraživanje, uključujući aktivnosti promatranja, bilježenja opažanja i zaključivanja temeljem opaženog. Na taj način povećava se intelektualni angažman studenata i učenika, kao i vjerojatnost da će stečena znanja studenti i učenici uspješno primijeniti na nove izazove, bilo u radnom okruženju ili u drugim životnim situacijama. Efikasnost aktivnih metoda učenja, između ostalog, često ovisi i o kontekstu problema koji je predstavljen učenicima/studentima te o interesu učenika i/ili studenata za pojedine aktivnosti koje se primjenjuju u nastavi. U ovom radu predstavljen je primjer primjene aktivnih metoda učenja, temeljenih na aktivnostima promatranja i bilježenja opažanja tijekom mikroskopiranja različitih preparata papučice, Paramecium sp., među studentima druge godine preddiplomskog studija različitih studijskih programa biologije i studentima učiteljskog fakulteta. Uz radni list, koji može poslužiti kao osnova za planiranje i prilagodbu nastavnih aktivnosti na nekoj drugoj razini obrazovanja, u ovom radu su iznijeti i komentari studenata nakon provedbe aktivnih metoda učenja temeljenih na mikroskopiranju papučice. Komentari studenata o primjeni aktivnih metoda učenja (u usporedbi s tradicionalnim metodama, koje se inače koriste u njihovoj redovnoj praktikumskoj nastavi) pružaju uvid u opći dojam studenata o doživljaju nastave i pojedinih aktivnosti koje se primjenjuju u nastavi te o učinku primijenjenih aktivnosti na razumijevanje sadržaja koji se poučavaju. Prema većini ispitanika u ovom radu, aktivne metode učenja su zanimljive i većina studenata se izjašnjava da u načelu „voli takve aktivnosti“, koje uključuju samostalan rad i zaključivanje. Takvo mišljenje studenata moglo bi poslužiti kao svojevrsni poticaj za intenzivniju primjenu metoda aktivnog učenja na fakultetskoj razini obrazovanja te da bi metode aktivnog učenja postupno trebale zamijeniti frontalnu nastavu i tradicionalne metode.
Rad s učenicima s posebnim potrebama, prvenstveno rad s učenicima s autizmom vrlo je zahtjevan i iziskuje posebnu pripremu i edukaciju učitelja (i pomoćnika u nastavi). Strategije obrazovanja su poučavanje i učenje, strategija doživljavanja i izražavanja doživljenog, strategija vježbanja i strategija stvaranja. U aktivnoj nastavi se mogu primijeniti različiti postupci. Istraživanje se temelji na strategiji obrazovanja učenika s autizmom pomoću konkretnih primjera koristeći ABA metodu. Rezultati istraživanja provedeni s učenikom s autizmom pokazuju kako je učenik aktivnim učenjem, individualiziranim i prilagođenim programom, uspješno svladao četiri pojma u dva školska sata. Iako za ovo istraživanje nije bitna količina svladanog nastavnog sadržaja koje učenik može svladati u jednom ili dva školska sata, već dokazati da će učenik s autizmom više svladati nastavnog sadržaja uz aktivno učenje. Učenik je dobro reagirao na konkretne primjere voća (jabuka, kruška, banana, avokado, šipak, dinja, limun), pokazivao znakove veselja i zainteresiranosti dok na njemu tradicionalan način poučavanja i učenja (fotografijom) nije obraćao toliku pažnju na voće niti davao ikakve znakove veselja. Tijekom procjene poučavanja i učenja pokazivao je znakove umora i nezainteresiranosti. Uz ohrabrivanje i poticanje procjena je napravljena. Ovaj rad je ujedno analiza slučaja tijekom određenog razdoblja odnosno studija slučaja ili analiza slučaja.
In addition to the theoretical part, a quantitative research was conducted to examine primary school teachers on the applicability of outdoor teaching and elearning in teaching content related to plants and animals, the advantages and disadvantages of outdoor teaching and e-learning. Sixty seven (N=67) primary school teachers from all over the Republic of Croatia participated in the research, and data were collected through online survey questionnaires. The survey questionnaire was anonymous and respondents could withdraw from the survey at any time. The obtained results indicated that primary school teachers apply extracurricular teaching and e-learning to bring students closer to the contents related to plants and animals, that they are aware of the advantages and disadvantages of such forms of teaching and have mostly positive opinion about their combination to improve the educational process and that they gained many benefits important to the overall development of students.
Most of the Roma settlements in Croatia are spatially segregated from the settlements of the majority population. Specific cultural elements constitute the ethnic border towards the local population, making it difficult and reducing the possibility of their integration into the majority population. One of the results of that segregation is the unfamiliarity of the Roma children with the language of the majority population. This unfamiliarity with the Croatian language is a big obstacle for the integration of the Roma children into Croatian society through school education. Starting from Grade 1 they follow the regular school curriculum. Two of the subjects that are taught from the very beginning of their primary school education are Natural Science and English as a foreign language. In this paper, the authors present the results (statistical analysis and discussion) of their research study. It compares the familiarity of Roma and Non-Roma Grade 4 children (age 10) with some biological terms in English as a foreign language. Based on the results of their research, the authors suggest modifications of the school curriculum for Roma children that would enable their better school achievement and subsequently their easier integration into Croatian society.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
