Classroom teaching tact is a kind of sensitive, rapid and accurate judgment and response ability of teachers in the face of complex classroom teaching situations. The implementation of the new curriculum reform requires teachers to have a higher level of teaching tact. Based on the self-designed questionnaire, this study investigated 200 primary school students in Hunan Normal University, explored the main influencing factors of their classroom teaching tact, and verified the rationality, reliability and validity of the questionnaire structure. It is found that the differences of gender and major have no influence on the level of classroom teaching tact of primary school students on post internship, while the differences of professional identity, personality, teaching class size, teaching reflection and post job training will bring the differences of classroom teaching tact level of primary school students on post internship. The primary school students who have high degree of professional identity, outgoing personality, small class size, good teaching reflection and more job-related classroom teaching and training have higher level of classroom teaching wit. But at the same time, we should also consider the interaction of various factors and do a holistic and dialectical thinking on the analysis of the factors that affect the level of classroom teaching tact of primary school students.

In China, researchers have translated and validated several scales to measure victimization behavior. The aim of the present study was to validate the Chinese version of the victimization subscale of the Revised Peer Experiences Questionnaire (RPEQ) among primary school students. Primary school students aged between 8 and 13 years old (n = 1048) were asked to complete the Chinese version of the victimization subscale of the RPEQ and related scales. We examined internal consistency and the factor structure using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Depression, peer relationship, and sleep scales were used to measure construct validity. The CFA results suggested that the four-factor model had a good model fit. The results indicated that internal reliability was good (Cronbach’s α = 0.83). Construct validity was mostly supported by scores on the Chinese version of the victimization subscale of the RPEQ that strongly and positively correlated with depression and negatively correlated with peer relationship and sleep quality. The present study indicated that the Chinese version of the victimization subscale of the RPEQ has adequate reliability and validity for measuring bullying problems among Chinese primary school students.

Oral communicative competence enables speakers of a language to interact effectively with each other. Oral communicative competence includes a wide semantic field since the oral expression is a way of expression for the thought and it provides feedback and develops by means of the linguistic function (Vygotsky, 1992; Piaget, 1983a, 1983b; Pinker, 2003). English communicative competence is based on the use of the language as a tool of communication, both oral and written, of representation, of interpretation and of reality comprehension. This investigation aims to analyse the oral communicative competence in English of students who have finished the stage of Primary Education. It also tries to know if the center where students study, the students’ gender, the attitude towards the English language and attendance to private lessons increase the oral communicative competence. The sample was intentional and stratified (rural-urban and ordinary-bilingual). It is composed by 265 students and the instrument is a questionnaire provided with reliability and validity. The results show high levels of competence, higher than expected, and with light differences that favor the girls and the urban bilingual schools in the acquisition of the oral communicative competence in English.

Abstract Background Ecological literacy aims to build up a framework of view that identifies the association with nature and enhances the improvement of new areas to produce sustainable lifestyles. Today, this concept has become one of the important requirements for a sustainable community. The aim of the study was to develop the Ecological Literacy Scale (ELS) to determine the ecological literacy of primary school students. Methods This methodological study carried out in 233 primary school 4th grade students in an eco-school in the 2019-2020 academic year. By using literature 91 questions was collected including water, energy, transport and air, biodiversity, purchasing and waste topics which were main issues of ecological footprint. After taking expert opinions, a scale that consists of 32 questions and scored as I agree:3, undecided:2, I disagree:1 and was created named ELS. In order to evaluate the reliability of the scale, item total score correlation and internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) analyzes and exploratory factor analysis was used for construct validity. Results Of the 52.8% students were male and their age ranges from 8-11, the mean was 9.5±0.6. After the scale development study, the scale consisted of 19 items and unidimension. Scale items explain 27.37% of total variance and factor loadings ranged from 0.42-0.64. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.846 for the scale. In the last form of the scale, the score that can be taken from scale range 19-57. It was accepted that by increasing of the score, ecological literacy level was increased. The mean score of the students was 51.73 ± 5.39 and the median was 53.0. Conclusions Ecological literacy could be considered as high level for primary school students in eco-school. ELS was found to be a valid-reliable tool for assesing ecological literacy in primary school students. Key messages Ecological literacy is an issue that students should be informed from the primary school period. In the literature, ELS seems the first scale about ecological literacy for primary school students and needs to be tested in large groups of students.

The past years have seen a strong focus in Malaysia on the increase of infusion of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in educational institutions to stimulate innovations and strengthen global economic competitiveness. The integration of ICT has transformed the Malaysian education system by reshaping the landscape of education, from teacher-centred to learner-centred education. However, the COVID-19 crisis has changed the landscape of the education system drastically. The educators have turned their focus on online learning as an alternative means to replace the face-to-face classroom. Therefore, this paper focuses on the investigation on the perception towards e-learning among ESL primary school students. This study also determined the level of acceptance towards e-learning. A set of questionnaires was distributed via Google Form to 100 upper primary students in Sibu, Sarawak. The results revealed that the perception towards e-learning was positive, and the level of e-learning acceptance among ESL primary school students was high due to its features of e-learning, such as flexibility, user-friendliness, and the students’ attitude towards using as well as the intention to use in the future. It was recommended that teachers should utilize student-friendly digital tools to deliver their teaching and learning materials so that the students, especially at the primary level find it easy and enjoy learning English via e-learning.
