STEM is the acronym of the first letters in English of science, technology, engineering, and maths. This is a training concept that is related to inspiring young people to develop in the field of science and technology. This concept implies a holistic approach in education - learning all the subjects studied to contribute to inspiring students and to educating personal qualities for successful realization in the field of science and technology. From a didactic point of view, this concept implies unity between content and organization of learning, between teaching and learning. The implementation of STEM training in elementary school corresponds to one of the applications of this concept, namely that development itself is an irreversible process characterized by favorable sensory periods. The sooner STEM training takes place, the better. In economically developed countries there are real practices of introducing STEM training even for the youngest children of 3+ years. The object of the present study is the technology and entrepreneurship education as an element of STEM training in elementary school, and the subject - the personal development of students in technology and entrepreneurship education as an element of STEM training in elementary school. The aim of the paper is to present our approaches to technology and entrepreneurship education as an element of STEM training to support the personal development of pupils of primary school age. In the course of the research we carry out the following tasks: 1. Clarifying the essence of STEM training. 2. Developing approaches to technology and entrepreneurship education to help students' personal development. 3. Matching the results of technology and entrepreneurship training to labor market requirements.

In this article, based on my dissertation, “A Dream Journey to the Unknown: Searching for Dialogue in Dance Education” (2003), I will describe several qualities, or themes, related to dialogue. These ideas may facilitate dialogue in dance education and bear significance for reflecting the nature of dialogical education more generally. In addition, my intent is to uncover the personal nature of my search for dialogue. Before describing the themes, I briefly outline the research process.The process began in 1997 when I was invited to take part in an art education project that was situated in an elementary school in Helsinki, Finland. I was aware that I was about to turn back to something that I thought I had already left behind. I had recently completed another study concerning my own dance teaching practice (1996). I had joined the so-called teacher research movement with a desire to understand the dynamics of the teaching and learning situation in the context of dance from an experiential point of view.

Abstract: The ultimate goal of Indonesian teaching is to help learners able to integrate themselves into the society successfully. This aim is in line with the development of science and technology in the globalization era, in which the role of the Indonesian language as a mean of personal development is inevitably challenged by the rapid changes and the need of international languages. For this reason, it is worried that learners face any negative wash back of the existence of International language, in instance, the lost of their own identity. To this end, the role of Indonesian teaching is getting more and more obviously important. In reality, however, the Indonesian teaching is generally assumed as the easiest subject if it is compared with other subjects. As a result of this case, learners pretend not to learn Indonesian seriously. Ironically, many students get low grade although the Indonesian lesson is seen easily to learn. In fact, elementary school (SD/MI) is regarded as basis for the formation of the noble values of the nation. The study had identified several sources of problems in learning Indonesian both from the educators or learners. Besides, it was revealed that the result of learning was affected by some aspects, such as the goals, materials, methods, school facilities and infrastructure.

Considerando a pertinência de práticas orais no ambiente escolar e entendendo que o oral é um saber de referência que necessita legitimidade, elabora-se esta pesquisa que se define como uma tentativa de conferir ao oral um procedimento de avaliação da aprendizagem comparável à do texto escrito. Com esta proposição se elege o gênero entrevista radiofônica que, como um objeto de ensino e aprendizagem, consiste em “fazer falar”, ou seja, um entrevistador (aluno) busca informações sobre um problema ou questão em um entrevistado (expert) e isso, na concepção de Dolz e Schnewuly (2004), servirá para comunicar/informar a terceiros. Seguindo essa noção se busca estabelecer e entender critérios para avaliação de atividades com esse gênero oral em ambientes de ensino. Para isso, aplicou-se um formulário on-line a vinte alunos do Ensino Fundamental II, da Escola de Ensino Fundamental João XXIII – São Sepé/RS, com 12 critérios previamente estabelecidos, no intuito de entender o ponto de vista de alunos sobre esse gênero. Como resultados se teve a definição de quatro possíveis critérios apontados como muito relevantes pelos participantes, a saber: 1) Observância de papéis sociais de cada participante; 2) Planejamento prévio da interação comunicativa; 3) Capacidade de incitar/promover a fala do outro; 4) Respeito às trocas de turno. Palavras-chave: Oralidade. Ensino. Avaliação. AbstractConsidering the pertinence of oral practices at the school environment, and understanding that the oral one is a reference knowledge which needs legitimacy,  this research was elaborated, that defines itself as an attempt to confer to the oral practice an evaluation procedure of the learning comparable to that of the written text. With this proposition, it was chosen the radiophonic interview genre which, as a teaching and learning object, consists of “talking”, that is, an interviewer (student) will seek information on an issue or question from an interviewee (expert) and this, in Schnewuly and Dolz’s (2004) conception, will serve to communicate/inform third parties. Following this notion, it was sought  to establish and understand criteria for the evaluation of activities with this oral genre in teaching environments. For this purpose, an online form was applied to twenty students from the Elementary School II-  João XXIII Elementary School - São Sepé/RS, with twelve previously established criteria, in order to understand the students’ point of view about this genre. As results, there was the definition of four criteria pointed out as very relevant by the participants: 1) Observance of the social roles of each participant; 2) Prior planning of the communicative interaction; 3) Ability to encourage/promote the speech of the other; 4) Respect for shift alternation. Keywords: Orality. Teaching. Evaluation.

ResumoNeste texto, discutiu-se parte de uma investigação de Doutorado que teve o objetivo de analisar o desenvolvimento profissional de professores que lecionam Matemática para os Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental em seu trabalho com Probabilidade. Para este artigo, focou-se nos conhecimentos dos participantes referentes à compreensão de espaço amostral e quantificação de probabilidades, manifestados em uma tarefa proposta durante uma formação. Adotando uma metodologia qualitativa, procurou-se descrever e interpretar as resoluções, registradas nos protocolos dos professores, e suas discussões, coletadas em vídeos e áudios gravados. Analisou-se os resultados à luz de teorias e investigações a respeito do ensino e da aprendizagem de Probabilidade e do conhecimento matemático para o ensino da temática. As resoluções, as discussões e as reflexões acerca das noções probabilísticas implicadas na situação analisada desenvolveram e ampliaram os Conhecimentos Comum de Conteúdo e também os Conhecimentos Especializados dos professores, o que, certamente, permitir-lhes-á, no ensino, antecipar erros de seus alunos, identificar possíveis causas, justificá-las do ponto de vista da Matemática e, consequentemente, buscar estratégias de intervenção que favoreçam sua compreensão e sua aprendizagem. Ressaltou-se, nesse processo de desenvolvimento e/ou ampliação dos conhecimentos, a importância de cursos de formação que conduzam à reflexão de questões ligadas tanto ao ensino como à aprendizagem, neste caso, de conceitos matemáticos e, mais especificamente, de noções probabilísticas com crianças em fase inicial de escolarização. Palavras-chave: Formação Contínua. Conhecimento Profissional Docente. Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Ensino de Probabilidade. AbstractIn this text, it is discusses part of a Doctoral investigation which aimed analyzing the teachers professional development that teach Mathematics for Elementary School Initial Series, on its work with Probability.

Previous studies on Javanese language emphasized more on the use of this local language in certain communities and ignored the importance of teaching and learning at an elementary school level in order to preserve the language. The purpose of this study was to describe the lives of the participants, collect and tell stories about their lives, and then write narratives of their experiences. The data were gathered through the collection of stories, reporting individual experiences, and discussing the meaning of those experiences for the participants by proposing a research question: what is the story of the teachers who tried to preserve Javanese language in the global era? A narrative research design, sociolinguistics, and social change as theories were applied in order to understand teachers’ point of view on globalization and the importance of preserving Javanese language. Purposeful sampling was used and two teachers were chosen as participants. The data gathered were then analyzed through three steps, namely code the data, description, and interpretation. There are two findings that can be summarized. Firstly, the interviewees perceived the challenges in teaching Javanese language as an opportunity to be more creative. Secondly, in the attempt to preserve and promote Javanese language and culture, they were fully supported by the school principal as well as the local government. It can be concluded that knowledge of effective teaching strategies is vital in terms of providing an in-depth understanding of how elementary schools can deal with the possible negative impacts of globalization.

Straipsnyje nagrinėjami kai kurie metodologiniai mokymosi negalių tyrimo ir koregavimo klausimai. Siekiant išryškinti bendriausius šios problemos sprendimo principus gretinama analitinė ir holistinė mokslinio pažinimo prieiga. Moderniojoje akademinėje psichologijoje vyraujanti analitinė prieiga reiškiasi įsitikinimu, kad sudėtingą reiškinį galima pažinti jį skaidant dalimis, aiškinantis jų tarpusavio ryšius ir kaupiant empiriškai patikrinamus faktus. Ši tendencija būdinga gausiai ir įvairiai mokymosi negalias nagrinėjančiai ir jų koregavimo būdus siūlančiai ir vertinančiai literatūrai, tačiau kol kas bendros koncepcijos šiuo klausimu nėra. Straipsnyje plačiau pristatoma holistinei prieigai atstovaujančio prancūzų audiopsichofonologo Alfredo Tomatiso teorinis požiūris ir juo grindžiamas mokymosi negalių įveikos būdas. Teigdamas, kad mokymosi negalios yra komunikavimo problema, pasireiškianti kaip klausymo sutrikimas, jis siūlo originalų teisingo klausymo atkūrimo būdą, kurį, kaip Tomatiso metodiką, žino ir taiko daugelis psichologinės pagalbos įstaigų visame pasaulyje. Skirtingai nuo praktikų, akademinė psichologija susidomėjimo A. Tomatiso idėjomis nerodo, tad ir diskusija šiuo klausimu nevyksta. Todėl ir straipsnyje keltas klausimas apie mokymosi negalių problemos sprendimo galimybes lieka atviras.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: mokymosi negalia, girdėjimas ir klausymas, garsinis stimuliavimas, aukštieji garso dažniai, elektroninė ausis.  Learning disabilities: different theoretical approaches and ways of treatmentEglė Rimkutė, Miglė Dovydaitienė SummaryThe article examines some methodological problems of research and treatment of learning disabilities. Analytic and holistic approaches to learning disabilities are introduced. Mainstream academic psychology is currently dominated by the analytic approach, which seeks to reduce complex phenomena to its parts in order to study and understand existing interactions between them. A review of literature reveals, that generally learning disabilities are defined in terms of deficits of various cognitive and language abilities and skills necessary for learning. Most often offered treatment procedures are based on programs that focus on improving deficient skills through repetition of various cognitive exercises.We put special emphasis on holistic approach which is presented through theorizing and the treatment of learning disabilities by French audio-psycho-phonologist Alfred Tomatis. According to A. Tomatis, neither normal nor abnormal behaviour can be understood without relating it to 1) the functioning of the whole organism, and 2) the historical and individual developmental processes. From his point of view, language, as a tool for communication, plays a very important role in the humanization of an individual. Individual personal development also confirms that the need for communication emerges already in the prenatal stage, when the link between foetus and mother is maintained, as the foetus hears from the 5th month of intrauterine life. The desire to communicate is implicit in the realization of human consciousness. Considering learning difficulties which are related with written language A. Tomatis claims that it is communication — primarily listening — disorder. The treatment, proposed by A. Tomatis, consists in teaching a person to use his ear as an apparatus capable of listening. He developed an electronic device called Electronic Ear designed to modify the way in which a subject listened and to help him improve language, learning and communication skills. Practitioners using A. Tomatis method confirm its effectiveness. However, it would be very difficult to evaluate his method through analitical experiments that would satisfy academic psychology, which remains skeptical.To contribute to the progress in understanding and treatment of learning disabilities academic psychology should pay more attention to the ideas approved in practice and to find more flexible ways of detection and evaluation of personal change.Key words: learning disability, hearing and listening, auditory stimulation, high frequency tones, electronic ear.
