Main Activity

This study investigates the in-service training needs of the primary school generalist teacher in Botswana. The findings established that singing is a major cross-curricular activity in schools. Dance on the other hand, despite being the most popular form of entertainment in and outside school, is not regarded as an aspect of music education. Instrumental teaching is virtually non-existent. Teachers' interests in further musical training are influenced by a misconception that singing should be the main activity in music lessons. As a result most are only interested in improving their skills in areas that will improve their singing, such as theory of music to aid sight reading.

Great Ease

Although it is often said that we tend to forget unhappy memories, many linger on. For instance, how well I recall what was for me an agony during medical school of memorizing the TCA cycle, the brachial plexus, and the bones of the wrist! I somehow dealt with it at the time, but ask me to repeat them now and I couldn’t begin to do it. On the other hand, it is true that I can still recall a few bars of Mozart sonatas I learned when I was even younger, but I’d fare much better sitting down and sight-reading the same previously memorized works. It has always been frustrating for me to recognize and accept that, long before I attained my current age, memorizing was not one of my strong points, especially compared with some of my colleagues who seemingly did it with great ease and even satisfaction. Ease of memorization appears to be in part an innate skill and, I’m sure, like other such skills, can be enhanced by training. There is also selective memory. Like many of my medical colleagues I can predictably recall a given patient’s pathology but much less readily his or her name. Lucky for us that we went into medicine and not into politics!

Primary School Pupils

It is expected that today’s school shall, on the one hand – to the greatest extent possible, support a pupil in his or her development and education-related activities, on the other hand – prevent exclusion, so easy to occur in today’s, structurally diversified society. The factor which poses a potential source of social exclusion is the evaluation of education-related achievements of pupils, present in the education-related school practice in the form of a grade. The system of evaluating the education-related achievements, in view of the diversity of results, often introduce stereotypical divisions into “better” and “worse” pupils, resulting in school setbacks, implicating negatively perceived competition as well as distorting the relations within the school community. In view of the aforementioned circumstances, the considerations over the evaluation of education-related achievements seem to be well-founded, particularly in the context of primary education of pupils.

Academic Professions

Possibly because very few teachers in Britain are fluent readers of Scandinavian languages while, on the other hand, the majority in the academic professions in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland speak and read – not infrequently write – English, the flow of thinking about music education and its developments often appears to be one way.Yet although it may be true to say that, over the last twenty years or so, music educators in the Nordic countries have drawn quite a lot of inspiration from beyond their own borders (Finland and Sweden tending to look towards Hungary; Norway, Iceland and Denmark perhaps turning more often to Britain and the United States), it would be a serious error to imagine that they have no significant ideas of their own! Indeed, an enormous amount has been achieved in these countries from which the rest of us can usefully learn.

On one hand, teacher has to reach a target of making the students achieve specific competencies as on the national curriculum 2013. On the other hand, different level of students’ skills, and internet credit expanses are two most cases required to be concerned. After doing the second treatment on 28 students of State Primary School 2 Bogem, Kalasan, the researcher found that the appropriate media used were WhatsApp and printed assignments. The teacher conducted WhatsApp classes twice a week and sent printed assignments every fortnight. Through these two media, the parents’ companion on the students’ learning process is getting optimum.

The sample on the study of digital socialization included 316 primary school students aged 7 to 9. On the one hand, the results showed the preservation and demonstration of the content and methods of traditional socialization among younger students of all levels of Internet involvement in terms of digital socialization. This fact indicates the integration and combination of digital and traditional socialization. On the other hand, the increase in the levels of Internet involvement contributes to the replacement and transition from traditional socialization to a digital one.

And Mathematics

Technology and mathematics are two things that are interconnected and influence. Technology, such as computer games, can be used to describe abstract mathematical concepts so that they are more easily understood by students. Unfortunately, technology also has some undesirable impacts, such as causing students difficulties in developing their creativity to understand mathematical concepts. On the other hand, spatial ability gets less attention than educators when students are studying mathematics. This paper will discuss how teachers can help students develop their mathematical creativity and spatial ability.

This part details the author's childhood, when he attended a Protestant, German-language, primary school. In spite of her origin, his mother did not want to know anything about religion and had little interest in things Jewish. His father, on the other hand, remained closely linked to Judaism. In 1929, when the author was nine years old and about to move from the Polish city of Wloclawek, one of his favorite teachers told him that he was going to travel into the land of culture. He did soak up German culture in Berlin and did develop a great love affair with German literature. But as an 'alien Jew', the Nazis compelled him and his family to return to Poland.

Victims Of Bullying

This study aims to investigate victimization of bullying in primary school children, as well as its relationship with children’s perception of being a victim. In a sample of 4646 students from 3rd to 6th grade, we evaluated children’s victimization and cybervictimization behaviors, and children were also asked whether they had been victims of bullying or cyberbullying. From the participants, 36.7% were victims, and 4.4% cybervictims. In addition, 24.2% had a perception of being a victim, and 4.9% a perception of being a cybervictim. On the other hand, 56.9% of victims of traditional bullying had no perception of being a victim. The victimization behaviors of traditional bullying associated with a higher perception of being a victim were threats, while physical and direct verbal aggression implied a lower perception of being a victim. The results suggest the most frequent victimization behaviors may be normalized.

The purpose of the work is to theoretically justify and experimentally prove the effectiveness of the use of musical and didactic games as a means of teaching younger students in music lessons and identify its advantages in comparison with traditional methods. The main conclusion of the work – a comparative analysis of the results of experimental work showed that significant changes took place in the development of the musicality of elementary school students, in which musical and didactic games were used. In general, after the use of music and didactic games in music lessons in elementary school, more schoolchildren with a high level of musicality development were identified. The results of the study showed the effectiveness and efficiency of developing the musicality of primary school students using music and didactic games and the feasibility of their use in music lessons in primary school. The great advantage of games is that this type of work is joyfully perceived by younger students, and you can organize the game so that it will contribute to solving the problems of their musical training, education, development. When using music and didactic games in music lessons in elementary school, the dynamics of the development of the musicianship of students is clearly observed.
