Student's Attitudes

One of the important segments in the initial education of the teachers is creating positive attitudes of students for the importance of teachers’ role as educator. The aim of this research is to determine the attitudes of students – future teachers about the role of the teacher as an educator and to determine the differences in student’s attitudes regarded their sex. The study was conducted on a sample of 94 examiners, students at Teaching Faculties in Republic of Macedonia preparing for future teachers in natural sciences. Obtained results were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative analyses. Differences in student’s attitudes regarded the sex were determined using Pearson chi - square test. It could be concluded that students-future teachers in natural sciences have developed positive attitudes toward teacher’s role as educator, establishing teacher’s personal characteristics, its authority, and reputation and building quality relations with pupils as one of the important aspect. Yet it’s notable that for most of the examiners, teacher’s role as transmitter of knowledge is defined as more important and priority. These findings suggest on need for greater emphasis of the teacher as a factor in creating student’s personality through educational activities and realization of teacher’s role as educator.

Subject Field

The Slovak education is currently experiencing a turbulent period associated with ongoing efforts to reform the education system, under-funding of education with low teacher salaries, overworked and feminized teaching staff, low social status of a teacher in society, problems in the creation and distribution of current textbooks, insufficient interest in studying natural sciences, leaving of young people to study abroad, etc. This situation is also reflected in the training of future teachers including the geography teachers (in combination with other subjects). The aim of this study is to provide basic information on the development of future geography teacher education in Nitra, which has almost a 60-year tradition. Moreover, it characterizes the current state of this education in the context of the subject field didactics and pedagogical practice and identifies the challenges of their future preparation. Methods of text analysis, information comparison, and statistical processing of quantitative information were used in this study. Key findings include the dynamics of the number of graduates from geography teaching study programs, responding to the situation in education system and demographic decline in the population, and reduction of contact lessons at the university leading to a reduction in the professional and didactic extent of knowledge and skills of future teachers. The most important conclusions or recommendations as well as scientific contribution concern the necessity to change the attitude of teachers towards the practically oriented teaching with stronger emphasis on training students’ creativity not only through ICT, but also using creative and critical thinking strategies.

A social role of Natural Sciences teachers has been becoming of particular importance in the context of dynamic changes occurring in the modern educational space. Therefore, the professional training of students, in particular, to organize safe life activities of high school students should be grounded on the combining of deep mastering of the basics of theoretical professional knowledge and skills in applying this knowledge in their future educational activities. Thus, there arises a problem of forming the readiness of future Natural Sciences teachers to organize high school students’ safe life activities. The aim of the study is to substantiate theoretically the pedagogical condition for training future teachers of Natural Sciences to organize high school students’ safe life – to create an environment of remote (distant) support for students in the process of training them to organize of high school students’ safe life activities. It has been found out that the environment of remote support of students in the process of training them to organize of high school students’ safe life activities should be considered as an integrated environment of information and educational resources, software, telecommunication means, rules for their administration and use which provide opportunities for interaction during their learning and self-guided work. It has been proved that creating a remote support environment for students in the process of training them to organize of high school students’ safe life activities (distance course + virtual class), using the services GoogleSites and Google Classroom, will improve the efficiency and quality of the training aimed at future Natural Sciences teachers to organize high school students’ safe life activities, expand the educational and methodological basis, implement an individual approach to learning, provide an interactive control over the fulfilment of tasks alongside with the use of the individual and group methods within the online environment, increase the motivation to learn. Keywords: future teachers, Natural Sciences, safe life activities, pupils, distant education, remote / distant support environment.
