We analysed the potential differences between the conceptions of Serbian pre-service and in-service teachers using controlled parameters such as acceptance of the evolution theory. Our sample includes Primary School teachers as well as Secondary School teachers of Biology and of Language. We show that the ideas of pre-service (PreB) and in-service biology teachers (InB) are more evolutionary than those of their colleagues. In contrast, most creationist responses came from the groups of pre-service language (PreL) and pre-service primary teachers (PreP). The agnostic teachers are more evolutionist than other teachers. The more a teacher believes in God and practices religion, the more creationist he or she is, but a great number of teachers who believe in God are evolutionist or simultaneously evolutionist and creationist. There is a positive correlation between evolutionist answers and the attitude that ?Science and religion should be separated?, and ?religion and politics should be separated?.

The aim of this study is to examine the Classroom management profiles of secondary education teachers, including physical education and sport teachers, and elementary teachers. By using a purposeful sampling method in various regions in Turkey, primary school teachers (n=81) and secondary school teachers (n=100) working in Ankara and Gaziantep province constitute the study group. Classroom Management Profile Inventory was used as the operational data collection tool. There was no statistically significant difference between the scores obtained from the general and sub-dimensions of the classroom management profile inventory when there was a comparison between primary school teachers and secondary school teachers. Neither the secondary school nor elementary teachers' scores on the sub-dimensions and sums of the classroom management profile inventory differ according to branch, age, and sex. However, it was found that the primary school teachers differ in the laissezfaire classroom management profiles according to the placement year. In this sub-dimension, the lowest score belongs to the group "4 years and below", while the highest score belongs to the group "5-7 years". Besides, there was no statistically significant difference on secondary school teachers' scores on the sub-dimensions and sums of the classroom management profile inventory according to placement year.

Introduction: School can be considered as a relatively moderate risk working environment due to the various hazards assembled in the school. Nevertheless, Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) training is yet to formally inclusive into teachers’ training module, and the current one-off or ad-hoc OSH training mainly targeted among school students. The different OSH awareness exists among teacher and student have hinder the provision of sustainable and effective safety and health training program at school levels. Objective: To assess the knowledge, attitude and practice among primary and secondary school teachers towards OSH at the school environment. Method: A cross-sectional survey carried out at three (3) primary schools and three (3) secondary schools after stratified random sampling. School teachers from these schools were randomly selected among those who had at least one year work experience as permanent teacher at the current school through the fishbowl technique. A structured questionnaire was used and total 136 teachers were assessed on their knowledge, attitude and practices on OSH at schools. Result: Study found that primary and secondary school teachers have different knowledge, attitude and practices of OSH at school levels. Overall, the knowledge level of secondary school teacher (62.1% of high to medium knowledge levels) are higher than the primary school teachers (41.1% of high to medium knowledge levels); at the same time, 93.1% of secondary school teachers show positive attitude while 88.5% of primary school teachers show positive attitude on safety and health atschools. In general, OSH practice level among the primary (88.5%) and secondary school teachers (86.2%) are atrelatively good levels. Besides, there is positive association with knowledge and attitude on OSH behavior among primary school teachers. Apart of this, there is positive but relatively weak association with knowledge and practices and knowledge and attitudes among primary and secondary school teachers. Conclusion: Considering the background differences between primary and secondary school teachers, a sustainable OSH learning mechanism should be planned and designed together with OSH practitioners and Ministry of Education to achieve a sustainable safety and healthy sound school environment for teacher to work and for students to learn.
