A prolific number of researchers have chosen to study metaphorical narratives, confirming their usefulness in educational research. The aim of this paper is to analyse the metaphorical expressions used by 68 principals from infant, primary and secondary schools in Alicante (Spain), concerning the way they see the figure of the principal and how it makes them feel. The data were processed using AQUAD 7. Results indicated a weak presence of characteristics related to social and contextual leader learning, as principals’ views tended more towards traditional models with duty predominating as a motivating force. Such views are usually associated with the experience of negative emotions. Findings highlighted the need to introduce an important cognitive and dispositional change in leadership education to ensure the development of professional skills aligned with current shared leadership models.

Attainment Goals

Frisian is a minority language taught at least one hour a week in primary schools. As a result, Frisian literature occupies a smaller position in the educational system than Dutch literature, since Dutch is the national language. This chapter discusses systematically the position of fiction and literature in the various types of education in primary schools, secondary schools, universities, and courses for adults. Special attention is given to the way in which officially established attainment goals affect the end term requirements set for the final examinations.

A recent article1 in The Mathematics Teacher has focused the attention of its readers on a misconception of mathematical methods which can have serious consequences, particularly if it becomes too firmly established in the mathematics classes of the secondary schools. These misconceptions tend to crop out both in lay circles and in some professional circles. They range all the way from conceiving of mathematics as being interested only in number—hence every mathematician is an arithmetician—to more subtle misconceptions such as a conception of proof which is more rigid than can be justified by modern mathematical methods. This misconception of mathematical proof arises from a frame of mind which produces such concepts as “abolute truth” or the abolute space coordinates of Newtonian origin. Proof as used in the mathematics of the 20th Century has no such connotations.

Restricting the movement of students because of COVID-19 requires expanding the offer of online education. Online education should reflect the principles of pedagogical constructivism to ensure the development of students’ cognitive and social competencies. The paper describes the preparatory course of mathematics, realized in the form of MOOC. This course was created and implemented based on the principles of pedagogical constructivism. The analysis of the respondents’ approach to MOOC revealed a difference between bachelor and master students in the use of MOOC. Bachelors found a strong correlation between their approach to MOOCs and the way they are educated in secondary schools. The results of the research point to the need of more emphasis should be placed on advancing the learner’s skills in navigating and analysing information. The questionnaire filled in by the participants also monitored the students’ access to learning. The results of the experiment confirmed the connection between the preferred approach to learning and students’ activities within the MOOC.

This paper describes part of a recent piece of research into the identification of pupils who have high potential for performance in specific areas of the academic curriculum in secondary schools. We discuss the relationship of this work to the broader definitions of giftedness which are now of considerable interest, and to the existing studies of identification, which tend to concentrate on high IQ children. We outline a test based method of identifying the pupils who have high potential in a specific subject, and report on the extend of the agreement between identification based on such a test procedure, and that based on teachers' judgements. Finally we draw out some implications of the findings for the way in which identification and provision should inter-relate.

There is a lack of research in the field of monitoring artistic creativity in secondary schools in Slovenia, so a study was conducted on the population of 81 pupils of different secondary school programs in Slovenia, aged 16 years, where we monitored artistic creative abilities. We analysed the achievements of pupils in terms of common artistic abilities, and also examined differences between groups of factors of artistic creativity, which encourage and enable artistic creativity, as well as in terms of differences in individual factors of artistic creativity. The analysis was aimed at identifying the differences between different secondary school programs. The results show that pupils in the art secondary school program generally lead the way. However, the pupils of the general secondary school program achieved better results in the factor of artistic originality. Such a result confirms that good results can be achieved in the field of the development of artistic creativity also in general secondary school programs with the appropriate art pedagogical work. Key words: artistic creativity, creativity, factors of artistic creativity, pupils

<p>English reference books occupy a large proportion in the basic educational books market, and the innovative publishing model is worth exploring. Another valuable question is the way to apply digital hybrid publishing—a new publishing model—in English reference books. In this article, the above problems are analyzed by taking the digital teaching reference products of Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press as examples.</p>
