“…A special attention should be paid to the fact that a change in the child's living arrangement in the line "native family -social institution (boarding school, orphanage, orphanage) -foster family" in its various variations influences the results of education of the child. The relation between academic success and the quality of family relationships was noted by various researchers, including Sakk, Veisson, and Lukk (2009). According to the research results, the success of the foster child's training is not only related to the peculiarities of the pedagogical position of foster parents, the qualifications of school teachers, but also the https://doi.…”

“…Therefore, the skills of teachers and the involvement of parents are strongly linked to each other. Cooperation and coordination between the educational institution and the family unit is key to the quality of children's learning (Sakk, Veisson, & Lukk, 2009). Parent education, that is, giving parents proper knowledge and skills to adequately care for their children and work together with schools to instill in them desired virtues and sustainable habits, is also a notable avenue that merits attention and consideration (Zepeda, Varela, & Morales, 2004).…”

The development of young learners to become adults who positively contribute to society is crucial to human prosperity and sustainability. As kindergarten is the educational level where learners begin this development, the importance of efficient kindergarten school management is undeniable. This research studied issues relevant to management of private kindergarten schools in Samutprakan province, Thailand, to determine positive factors supporting management of such schools and to develop an effective management system for them. Data were collected from a sample group consisting of local private kindergarten school administrators and teachers using questionnaires, as well as from a focus group of 8 experts in fields pertinent to early childhood education. Results revealed several factors, most notably knowledge and skills of teachers and the leadership of administrators, that greatly affect efficient management. These factors, along with clear management mission principles and the application of the Deming Cycle, were synthesized into a management system that can be utilized in private kindergarten schools in Samutprakan.

“…RUSLI schools cared for more students' security and health, but also put more emphasis on discipline and encyclopaedical knowledge. (Ruus et al, 2007;Sakk, Veisson, & Lukk, 2009) The quality of instruction is fundamental to student learning. Scheerens and Boskers (1997) brought out that characteristics of instruction have a strong effect on student achievement.…”

This study analysed how to explain the statistically significant differences between the science mean scores and attitudes of students in different language instruction schools. Estonian schools were grouped according to their socioeconomic intake relative to the national average into three categories: advantaged, disadvantaged and mixed schools. The analysis of the socioeconomic composition of different language instruction schools showed that the Estonian and Russian language instruction schools are mostly mixed schools. The results did not support the assertion that weaker performance is connected with disadvantaged background of students or schools either. Although students in Russian language instruction schools reported higher levels of motivation, more innovative classroom activities and they were more informed about science-related careers, the students in Estonian language instruction schools outperformed the Russian-speaking students in science. The results support an opinion that the students’ performance and engagement differences are rather connected with classroom level instructional approaches and learning culture. Key words: PISA, socioeconomic background of students and schools, students’ science performance and attitudes, teaching practices.
