The Synectic method assists in achieving goals in the English language by incorporating reflective and imaginative tools rendering the teaching-learning process more interactive and breaking the monotonous routine of a classroom. Achievement motivation typically refers to the level of one’s motivation to engage in achievement behaviour. Achievement is task-oriented behaviour that allows the individual’s performance to be evaluated according to some internally or externally imposed criterion that involves the individual in competing with others, or that otherwise involves some standard of excellence. The study examines the effect of the Synectic model on achievement motivation with its cognitive styles among secondary school students. The sample for the investigation comprised 100 students of class IX English medium private schools of Patiala affiliated to CBSE within the age ranges of 13-15 years. The results show that the mean gain achievement motivation of the group taught by the Synectic model was significantly higher than the group taught through the conventional method. The mean gain achievement motivation of the field-independent cognitive style group was also significantly higher than the field-dependent cognitive style group. The interaction effect of the different instructional strategies with different cognitive styles in respect of gain achievement scores on achievement motivation was also significant.

The paper presents the results of the study on participative mapping of landscape values and conflicts and a subsequent interpretation of the indicated localities from respondents’ point of view. The study focused on younger groups of landscape users—lower-secondary-school students (aged 11–15) and university students (aged 20–25)—in comparison with experts’ points of view. The research presumed that the perception of landscape values and issues are determined by age, level of education and by experience in the field. The study was conducted in the southeastern area of the Czech Republic (49° N, 16° E) via online data collection. Based on the obtained records, we conclude that, in terms of the typology of the valuable and problematic locations, the individual groups of respondents did not differ significantly and the selection of location types was similar across all groups. Lower-secondary-school students rather identified cultural values associated with everyday activities, and the descriptions contained emotional overtones. University students preferred natural values associated with formal values based on general consensus or conflicts associated with society-wide impacts. The experts base served as the benchmark for other groups.
