The One

The article deals with the theoretical task of testing the correctness of distinguishing creative giftedness as a special type of giftedness. As well as that, the presence of a correlation between the characteristic features of giftedness, on the one hand, and the signs of social psychological adaptation/maladaptation, on the other, is investigated on a sample of 583 secondary school students. The data was drawn from interviews with the teachers. A strong correlation was revealed between the instrumental factor of “Spontaneous Creative Activity” and the motivational factor of “Research Enthusiasm”, however the individuals who demonstrated these giftedness signs accounted for only 3.4% of the sample. An equally strong correlation was observed between the motivational factor "High Cognitive Motivation" and the instrumental factor "Efficiency and Depth of Knowledge Acquisition" which characterize "academic giftedness". The orthogonality of factors calls into question the possibility of deducing academic productivity and creativity from the same source. The factors of academic giftedness are positively associated with the adaptive characteristics of behavior in school environment. The factors of creative giftedness correlate negatively with adaptive behavioral traits.

AbstractThis study examined the relationship between executive functions (EFs) and school performance in primary and secondary school students aged 8 to 13 years (N = 146, M = 10.4, 45.8% girls). EFs were evaluated using the Trail Making Test (TMT), Verbal Fluency (VF), and the Stroop Test. Students’ GPAs and teachers’ assessment of academic skills were used to measure school performance. To evaluate the students’ social behavior, participants were asked to rate all their classmates’ prosocial behavior and nominate three students with whom they preferred to do school activities; teachers also provided evaluations of students’ social skills. EF measures explained 41% (p = .003, f2 = .694) of variability in school performance and 29% (p = .005, f2 = .401) of variance in social behavior in primary school students. The predictive power of EFs was found to be lower for secondary school students, although the TMT showed significant prediction and explained 13% (p = .004, f2 = .149) of variance in school performance and 15% (p = .008, f2 = .176) in peer ratings of prosocial behavior. This paper discusses the relevance of EFs in the school environment and their different predictive power in primary and secondary school students.

Self Identity

Self-identity formation becomes increasingly challenging for students as they are exposed to different norms in the school environment. Education, language, and religion are crucial in the process of self-identity formation. Therefore, this study aims to explore how English language learning and the school environment influence Islamic self-identity formation among students in selected religious secondary schools in Terengganu, Malaysia. The study employed a qualitative approach in which 90 religious secondary school students in the State of Terengganu were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Focus group interviews were used as a data-gathering instrument. The students were divided across different sessions to ease the process of data collection. The data were transcribed and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. The study found that English language learning does not influence the students’ Islamic self-identity formation negatively. Instead, certain morals such as respect, self-esteem, and cooperation, are instilled in the students’ self-identity. This study provides evidence on the students’ ability to construct Islamic self-identity despite the challenges of second language learning.

Methodological Aspects

Education of Hungarian as L1 requires an approach and methods that place much greater emphasis on students’ own language experiences. The aim of this article is to present the principles and methodological aspects of a competition that invited secondary school students to submit language diaries. The aim of this competition was to test a model of teaching Hungarian as L1 which focuses on real language problems and is based on the one hand on the theory of problembased learning (PBL) and on the other hand on Language Management Theory (LMT). The competition was motivated by the fact that the method had not been tested before, based on the language experiences and reflections of students in public education.

The sustainable school is important in today’s education system to ensure the well-being of younger generations. This research work attempted to empirically test the different predictions of a sustainable school environment for secondary school students’ engagement in learning. The following objectives were formulated: to analyse the differences of sustainable school environment and engagement in learning based on gender and SES background; to analyse the relationship between sustainable school environment variables and engagement in learning; and to examine how sustainable school environment variables could predict students’ emotional and behavioural engagement. The research sample consisted of students from three districts of Lithuania with a disadvantaged SES context. We assessed the sustainable school environment variables and students’ emotional and behavioural engagement in learning with the What Is Happening in this Class? (WIHIC) questionnaire, a short form of the Learning Climate Questionnaire (LCQ), and the Student Engagement Scale. The results showed a statistically significant difference in behavioural engagement between boys and girls. There are no differences in sustainable school environment variables and engagement in relation to SES. Teachers’ autonomy supportive behaviour perceived by students has the strongest correlation with emotional and behavioural engagement in learning. Thus, in the Lithuanian schools surveyed, a sustainable school environment is developing.
