In 1952, a Belgian primary school teacher, Georges Cuisenaire, published Les nombres en couleurs, a booklet in which the author describes his invention and explains a corresponding method for teaching elementary arithmetic. Cuisenaire materialized the numbers from one to ten by means of rods of corresponding lengths and in different colours. The rods provided a concrete tool for exploring and gaining insight in basic concepts and skills, such as the four basic operations, finding divisors and multiples, working with fractions, the decimal system, arithmetic sequences, and area and volume calculation. From the mid-1950s, with the support of Caleb Gattegno, the Cuisenaire rods broke through worldwide. In subsequent years, empirical research into the effectiveness of the Cuisenaire’s method was initiated and in several countries Cuisenaire Associations were founded. In the late 1960s and 1970s, a number of attempts were made to use the material for the teaching of typical modern mathematics contents to (very) young children, but the use of the rods in this context was sometimes far-fetched and did not break through.

Student’S T

The objective of this study is to determine the opinions of university students undergoing primary school teacher training to develop language teaching material for patients from the Children’s Hospital of Málaga, Spain, using the Service Learning (SL) methodology. Students evaluated this methodology by answering a 16-question questionnaire validated by external researchers. Academic performance was analysed using the Student’s t-test by comparing grades between an intervention and a control group. The results indicated improvements in several areas, including: the level of engagement, transversal competencies, academic performance, level of student satisfaction, and acquisition of teaching material related to the subject.

Algorithmic Thinking

The study aimed to examine AR-based teaching material's effect on viscera learning through algorithmic thinking by the primary school teacher candidates who are sophomores in the classroom teaching department in the spring term of the 2018-2019 academic year at a state university in the Eastern Black Sea and selected by convenience method. Viscera Information Form (VIF) and Application Process and AR Survey Form (APSF) were used as data collection tools in the study. VIF included subjects viscera in a human model and placed them in the skeletal structure. The other form, APSF, is about the application process and the material prepared with augmented reality. While the data obtained from VIF were analyzed under the researcher-defined categories regarding the participants' showing each viscera in a human torso model and placing them in the skeletal structure, the data obtained from APSF was processed with content analysis. The study results revealed that AR-based teaching material makes a positive contribution to the learning of viscera through algorithmic thinking. In addition, this is determined as AR-based teaching material contributes to understanding the related basic concepts through algorithmic thinking.

Primary School Teacher Education

This study aims to analyze the students' needs for teaching materials in the basic concepts of social studies at STKIP Muhammadiyah Blora. Social studies basic concept courses are subjects that must be implemented by first semester students of the PGSD STKIP Muhammadiyah Blora Study Program. Currently the teaching materials used are simple teaching materials made by lecturers without paying attention to student needs. This study uses descriptive qualitative data analysis, namely analyzing the results of observations, interviews and user questionnaires about the basic concepts of social studies teaching material needs. The research was conducted at the PGSD STKIP Muhammadiyah Blora Study Program. The subjects of this study were the first semester students with a total of 47 students, Primary School Teacher Education Study Program, Basic Concept of Social Sciences courses. The results of data collection indicate that the teaching materials that need to be developed in the Basic Concepts of Social Studies course for PGSD students are textbooks in the form of modules. The development of teaching materials is based on the needs of students, namely on aspects of content / material, aspects of the feasibility of presenting teaching materials, and aspects of language feasibility.

Theoretical Test

The problem of introducing distance learning in primary school is actualized by the development of social networks and Internet technologies, which open unlimited horizons for their application in educational activities. In addition, the introduction of quarantine in Ukraine requires primary school teachers to find ways to effectively master the program material. Among such ways is distance learning. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the specifics and possibilities of organizing the educational process in primary school with the use of distance learning. In the process of scientific research methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization and systematization were used. Distance learning in primary school is defined as a form of organization and implementation of the educational process, in which the subjects of learning (teachers and students) in the online mode carry out educational interaction in principle and mainly extraterritorially. In the context of reforming modern Ukrainian education, a number of e-platforms have been created for the organization of distance learning for primary school students. An effective commercial platform for distance learning is the service "My Class", which contains online courses from 1st to 11th grade, which contain lessons that integrate theoretical (test presentation of content) and practical (individual tasks that can be solved independently of each other, a block of tasks that need to be solved sequentially, guidelines) blocks. Result. Emphasis is placed on the requirements to be met by a primary school teacher when organizing distance learning in primary school during the quarantine period and it is suggested to advise parents who will work remotely with junior students in the initial stages of distance learning, gradually transferring activity to children.

Holland's Theory

This study is based on John L. Holland’s theory in which he defined six career personality types. Following this theory one of the aims of the study is to find out what is the percentage of individual types amongst students of pedagogical programmes. Further the research aims to discover how much are students of pedagogical programmes motivated to become teachers and what is the relation between the motivation to become a teacher and scores in scales of a Questionnaire of career choice and planning of professional career. We also attempted to identify the motivation related to gender and different pedagogical study programmes. The results show that the most motivated are students of Kindergarten teacher training and Primary school teacher training. Generally female students are more motivated than male students. From the personality types amongst students of pedagogical programmes the most common is Social type (S) and the least common is the Investigative type (I).
