Evaluation of the Role of the Peers in the Communication with Pupils who Represent Aggressive Behaviour in the Classroom Environment
The aim of this article is to evaluate the role of peers/ school friends during the adaption phase in the school environment of children aggressive behaviour, aged 11-14 with. The article aims at identifying how the other children perceive the aggressive behaviour and how they react towards this behaviour. Methods: This is a qualitative research. The methods used are: analysing the secondary data and also information gathered by semi-structured interviews with pupils. The Interviews are part of the general research made for the PHD-theses. This study includes a sample of 20 pupils who are part of the same classrooms identified with high level of aggressive behaviour. The questions of the semi-structured interviews tend to explore how the aggressive behaviour of some children in the class affects the emotional comfort of other children.The analysis of secondary data is based on the existing literature of national and international studies and policies related to the field of aggressivity and in the high schools. Results: in general, the situation of conflicts with the expressed disruptive behaviour is seen in an resilient point of view from the peer group. They reflect conformism in some situations where they are passive part of a conflict. Most of the pupils interviewed emphasize how essential is the intervention of the teachers or an adult in cases when the conflict involves them directly. Some cases were successful just because the classmates created a comfortable environment for the aggressive children inside the classroom. The intervention of a teacher was important to resolve difficult situations in the classroom environment.Conclusions: If we contribute to have a positive environment in the classroom with the support of the teachers than we can have better quality of the emotional wellbeing of all children in the classroom.

Young Graduates are Looking for Jobs! Between Education and the Labor Market
The social inclusion on the labor market of a young graduate marks a decisive step in the process of transition to adulthood. Theoretically, completing a higher education level should increase the employment chances of a young person who has just entered within the labor market. in this regard, the paper aims to describe the situation of the young graduates in Romania, concerning: the extent to which education increases the chances of accessing the labor market, what statistics tell us about the situation of the youth in Romania and where do we stand at the European level, and also how the labor market inequalities are reproduced. From a broader view, this paper points out also the main challenges that youth face on the labor market, such as: the un\employment and the precarious jobs, the spreading of the underemployment and the lack of jobs, the educational patterns and labor market changes, these are some topics that will be discussed.
The Use of Information and Communication Technologies in Education
The technology is developing very fast in all aspects of life. Information and Communication Technologies as part of it are being introduced with a high impact in the lives of human beings. As a result they also play an important role in education. This research is focused on new communication technologies in education as it is a highly discussed topic nowadays. Then the most modern literature on the topic was analyzed. After reviewing the literature and giving credit to main theories, a questionnaire was conducted in three universities in Albania. Firstly it was conducted at two state universities in Tirana and Elbasan. Then it was conducted at a private university that uses the most modern technology in teaching. The questionnaire included both open ended and closed ended questions. Being a lecturer in two out of these three universities gave me the possibility to conduct the survey personally without much difficulty and in a relatively short period. These universities were chosen in order to evaluate the importance of using Information and Communication Technologies in education. Also it was very interesting to compare the benefits of using such technologies. Although all three universities are located in the same country the inequalities are easily visible. At the end of the study there are given suggestions in order to find the ways to improve the education system through using Information and Communication Technologies.
Thought and Metaphor: Does Philosophy Teaching Clash or Collaborate with Literary Education?
Mahlios, D. Massengill-Show and A. Bary in the article “Making Sense of Teaching through Metaphors: a Review across the Studies” investigated how metaphors influence teachers approach to teaching, curriculum and their work with pupil (Mahlios, Massengill-Show, Barry 2010: 49-71). The aim of this thesis is rather different: to investigate the relation between the thought (concept) an the image described by words (metaphor). The question would be asked: is it possible such a phenomenon as the literary argument, which was formulated by Jacques Derrida in discussion with Habermas. If it is possible, next question; how it is possible? How can the consequences of this clash between metaphor and concept be reflected in the philosophy of education? Can literature as interdisciplinary subject on equal grounds be included into philosophy curriculum? Can philosophy on equal grounds be included into literature curriculum? If not - what is the reason for their separation? If on the contrary on chooses the opposite premise that they can be included - what are the philosophical suppositions for their meeting? This article tries to overview the problem from the historical perspective and to suggest the theoretical approach relying on Jacques Derrida conception.
Evaluation of a Multicultural Approach to Teaching Entrepreneurship: Selected Research Results Within the Framework of the ECMT+ International Project
One of the most important challenges in the field of higher education is to educate students about entrepreneurial attitudes and professional competences necessary for working in a multicultural environment in collaboration with a real business environment. Streamlining this process is one of the aims of the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership Project titled Entrepreneurship and Communication in Multicultural Teams (ECMT+). The cognitive purpose of this paper is to explore and evaluate students’ reflections on entrepreneurship teaching in an international and multicultural team. The applied research methods include a pilot quantitative survey using questionnaires and a qualitative research method of a reflective essay among students participating in the two-week Intensive Programme that took place in March 2017 at Karelia University in Finland. Respondents were chosen purposeful and included 48 participants from 14 countries worldwide. They represented seven high education institutions from seven different European countries. The study has been conducted anonymously via the Claroline Connect platform. The purpose of the empirical research was to diagnose the opinions of program participants, among others about new methods of business education they have experienced, diversity of multicultural context and relationships with other team members, their entrepreneurial attitude, and ability to solve problems at designing business solutions in the multicultural team.. Preliminary results appear to present interesting data and may provide a starting point for an in-depth empirical research associated with entrepreneurship in multicultural teams. The study reveals positive effects of applied methods of business education, significant involvement of participants in achieving the goal and gaining new knowledge within the analyzed area.
Attitudes Toward Multiculturalism and Assimilation and Contact with Members of Outgroup
Multicultural societies face the challenge of advancing intergroup relations. The group status in the society determines the presence of attitudes as well as mutual intergroup relations. The outgroup contact is one of the opportunities that assists the advancement of relations in the society. The goal of this study is to examine the differences of attitudes toward multiculturalism and assimilation in the majority and minority groups, and to which level we can predict the attitudes toward multiculturalism and assimilation based on the ethnic identity and contact with outgroup members. In this esearch, 361 youngsters are included. They are eighth and ninth grade students from five elementary schools in the city of Tetova, R. Macedonia. Of them, 166 study in Macedonian language, 195 in Albanian. To see the difference between the majority and minority group regarding the multicultural and assimilation attitude, t-test was used; for the prediction of intergroup attitudes, we used regressive analysis. The findings show that the minority group favors more multiculturalism while the majority group favors assimilation. As strong predictors of intergroup attitude, except ethnic identity, ethnic identification and outgroup contact appear as well. In order to advance the intergroup attitudes and relations as well as develop a multicultural society, the presence of outgroup members contact is important.
Students' Cultural Background as a Determinant of Various Categories of Social Behaviour
The aim of this research was to assess in which way the cultural background of students should be taken into account working with students as well as the adjustments of school activities by the school management, and what differences are possible to be noticed in regard to their cultural background.

Supervision of Learners with Intellectual Disabilities in a Special School: In loco Parentis of Teachers as a Wellness Perspective
This chapter addresses a study that was conducted at a special school for learners with intellectual disabilities in the Bojanala region of South Africa’s North West Province. After all, the learners are the heartbeat of the school; in their absence, the school, its buildings and facilities, and even the teachers would be rendered pointless. The aim of this study was to explore ways in which learners are supervised and cared for, considering their mild, moderate and (in a few cases) severe intellectual disabilities. This longitudinal study took place over a period of three years and was embedded in a community engagement project conducted at a particular special school in said region. Due to the nature of a project, action research was selected as the approach most likely to yield useful results over an extended period of time. Additionally, Hettler’s Wellness Theory (1980) was used as the theoretical framework by which to investigate how this school’s teachers and other personnel adhered to the in loco parentis principle - i.e. teachers’ legal imperative to assume some of parental functions and responsibilities, including protecting learners’ physical and psychological wellbeing. As such, the school management team (SMT) and teachers made up the study’s participants. Data were collected by means of questionnaires, interviews and observations. In their encounters with the school management team, the researchers realised that it is particularly crucial to ensure learner safety at special schools. Initial findings also revealed that most of the teachers employed at the school had not received training on teaching at a special school.
Being Young, Being NEET - A Pedagogical reflexion about Young Adult’s Condition in Italy
The paper takes in consideration major international research in the field of adult education, critical pedagogy and sociology of education and work, trying to explore the category of “NEET” (Young people Not in Education, Employment or Training) and some of the basic but critical questions that revolve around it. Who are those people? What are their needs and aspirations? What kind of vision do they have about their future? How are these visions affected by “the discourses we live by”? What can pedagogy and education do to help them redefining their life? Questions then becomes practical: what can services do to identify “NEETs” and give them specific forms of aid that can help them in redefine their missed lives? In order to answer these questions, the paper illustrates as an example a social dreaming session that had been carried out inside a Social service with the aim to find successful measures to help those young adults to redesign their reality and approach differently with the world of work. The paper concludes by presenting social dreaming as a possible solution of integration and auto-formation and emphasizes that keeping the attention on people’s life histories and desires can be the key to engage young adults and find a way to support them in their personal growth.

Time management characteristics directly or indirectly show us, to what extent student are able to control their own development and balance the life. Do they comprehend short-term, long-term goals and plans, or not? How do they distribute their time at work, during study, when resting, doing sports, sleeping, when satisfying their cultural and spiritual requirements or accomplishing short-term or long-term plans? How much time do they lose senselessly during a day, what is their nutrition regime and sleeping schedule? Conclusions and future forecasts obtained on the basis of research contain important and relevant information and recommendations not only for individuals of specific groups, but also in general, on functioning of systems regulating various spheres, especially education and labor.
Compliance with International Education Standards of Accounting in European Union Countries, the Case of Albania as An Official Candidate for Accession to The EU
The accountancy profession is based on standards, rests on their adoption and successful implementation, and is governed by the overarching principle of serving the public interest. These are complex sets of variables made even more difficult with sovereign interests and multiple stakeholders playing out on a global stage. The Evaluation of the status of accountancy education with its components of qualification, education and training in selected countries and Ballcan compared with the requirements of the IES. Nevertheless, the capital markets, in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, are demanding a single set of high quality internationally accepted accountancy standards where transparency, comparability and reliability of financial information is paramount. The importance of adoption and implementation of IES and the use of benchmarking in identifying country accomplishments and gaps from these standards. To enhance comparability a distinction is made between the four competency sub-pillars of accountancy education: personal development, professional accountancy education, professional development, and competence requirements for auditors. Together the sub-pillars cover all IES in a comprehensive approach that strengthens the statistical analysis of the results. Country overviews contain information about the adoption and implementation of International Education Standards (IES). The discussion of the regions includes country information, regional characteristics, adoption and implementation of IES, and recognition of qualifications.
Student Experience of E-Learning Tools in HE: An Integrated Learning Framework
Over the last decade the adoption of a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), at University, has become an accepted norm of support for student learning. However, despite the major investment in VLE’s there is a major disparity between what universities are offering, on their online platforms, and how this material and activities are being utilised by students. This research provides empirical evidence of the passive use, both by tutors and students, of the VLE. The literature provides evidence of the inertia that still exists, within Higher Education (HE), among tutors, to fully embrace the spectrum of VLE engagement tools. The lack of transition, among many tutors, to utilise the VLE as a pedagogical engagement tool continues to impact the expectations of fee paying students in the UK, who no longer expect that a Socratic dialogue will suffice to catalyse their intellectual curiosity. Today’s generation of students have been exposed to a plethora of technologies that facilitates the acquisition of instant information and often through a multitude of sensory (visual, audio) formats. Furthermore, with the growth of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCS) that are freely available to students the expectations, of HE students, from universities is becoming more demanding. In light of this competitive virtual learning landscape the authors propose a learning framework. To enable universities to create a unique and effective learning experience, for their students, through prudent investment in VLE tools and a complimentary learning environments. Resulting in deeper learning and informed students prepared for seminars.
The Importance of Parental Involvement in the Pre-University System During and After the Pandemic Covid-19
Parents have a strong desire to be kept up to date on their child's progress, accomplishments in the learning process, and extracurricular activities, as well as to participate in discussions and decision-making. They must have access to all information about the child's learning process participation, test results, and other tasks, opportunities, and skills that the child possesses. The study's goal is to present an overview of the significance of parental involvement in the pre-university school system during and after online learning based on teachers' personal experiences. The methodology of the study is based on a review of recent literature as well as a semi-structured interview with teachers from the public pre-university cycle who are also study subjects. Teachers, according to the data, place a high value on parental involvement. The parents' dedication to supporting their children's academic achievements was lauded, particularly by assisting them with their homework, which was an important component both during and after the online learning. Teachers report that parents are interested in and value their involvement in school problems and decision-making. During online class, all of the teachers believe that their effective online teaching is making a significant difference in their students' academic aspects, even with students who had lower learning results or learning difficulties. As a result, the parent's involvement as an important partner in the school community is required not only for school decision-making, but also as the main collaborator of the teacher, for an effective teaching process and his child's high school performance.

The Impact of Transformational Leadership on Service Quality In United Arab Emirates (Uae) Higher Education Institutions
In recent years, transformational leadership has gained popularity, especially in the context of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Transformational leaders have the potential to improve the quality of services and, ultimately, education, which improves the student experience. The HEIs in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) like those in other countries, confront numerous obstacles, such as competition from international peers. Some challenges concerning the management and maintenance quality in higher education. This situation reveals the need to implement transformational leadership on a large scale in the higher education sector in the UAE. Students are satisfied and significantly advance their knowledge when the institute provides a high-quality education service. The review of the literature reports a significant relationship between transformational leadership and service quality in the higher education domain. To increase the quality of services afforded by HEIs, transformative leaders have the desired skills to foster the quality of service in higher education because those leaders use their profession that fulfills the mission of the institute. To improve service quality and ultimately benefit their students, it is recommended that HEIs and policymakers in the UAE give priority to transformational leadership and establish the standards for leaders in higher education based on these leaders' traits, such as idealized influence, inspiring motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration.
Meliorism in the Pragmatist Discourse between Truth, Morality and Education
Philosophy in its traditional sense is regarded as a discipline that focuses on thought, reason and ideas. It is indifferent to action, where psychology, sociology and anthropology have taken this role. The pragmatists concern is the gap between thought and action. Returning the attention to action led to pragmatism being seen and valued more as a moral philosophy and behavioral psychology. This is precisely where the interest of this philosophy lies; how people can improve themselves and the world, expressed with the concept of 'meliorism'. Before that, James, Piers, etc. enter the philosophical discourse, revealing the principles and methodology of the study itself, the meaning and explanation of phenomena. Hence, the connection between gnosiology and morality is essential. The issue becomes even more complex, because from the discovery of the truth it moves to human identity, culture and the need for progress. The concreteness of this optimistic philosophy is achieved through education. Meanwhile, the discourse will arise between the questions: What is the truth for pragmatists? How is the relationship between truth, individual and society expressed phenomenologically? How can it be passed without harsh frustrations towards progress?
Relationship Between Strength Skills Performance and Speed Running Performance
Strength is one of the most important physical qualities to train in the post-pubertal phase of athlete development. This physical quality is among the trinomial of the most important physical qualities such as speed and endurance. The relationship between these motor skills affects the development of the athlete's physical qualities and locomotor pattern referring to the intensity and duration of the action. Normation of loads in strength training remains one of the main points of sports training planning to impact neuromuscular adaptations. The production of force and the ways of its generation depend on the norming of exercise loads, where the effect of the loads through exercises will affect the improvement of the athlete's abilities in relation to other physical skills. The aim of this study was to compare the norming of different strength training loads as a stimulating factor in improving speed running performance. To gather as much as possible scientific data, we used “Jab Ref” as a research sector focusing more on navigating Medline, Google Scholar, and Inspire options that this program contains. Without hesitation, the findings of all studies are consistent in showing that the components of strength are direct and important indicators that affect the increase in strength indicators manifested in different ways, where these indicators have a direct correlation with running speed in all neuro-motor parameters of the athlete.

Use of Narratives as a Pedagogical Tool for Students to Change the Perspective of Society and Their Person through the Course
Traditionally, education was considered a process in which the main protagonist was the teacher, the only bearer and guarantor of knowledge, where the communicative relationship established was unidirectional, the students neither said anything nor expressed any opinion. The purpose of this work is to share a didactic experience in the application of narrative diaries as a pedagogical tool in the subject of Television, Culture and New Customs, held in the first semester of 2018. Through the narrative diaries, students are expected to reflect critically on their past, that of his immediate surroundings and his society so that, with this background, his present can be explained in a clearer way. The narrative diary used in this experience is made up of three questions (Testimonial Perspective: what happened and what happened to you?) How did they experience it in class? How did other people experience it? / Personal Perspective: Why was this situation relevant and / or meaningful to you? / Professional Perspective: How has the experience transformed the view of the profession?). The subject is developed using collaborative techniques forming small groups of work which shows the direction to follow in the subject, around which are structured a series of more limited problematic situations, which allow to address the different contents of it during the semester. Students are motivated and think favorably about its implementation.

Student Protagonism: the Use of Webquest as a Methodological Strategy in Teaching History
The teaching of history is strongly marked by the concern of building, beyond the factual knowledge, a critical conscience in the students. Alongside this, we live in a reality marked by the intense information flow, available through the new information technologies, particularly the internet. In this way, the following problem arises: how to combine this great amount of information with the construction of a critical conscience, based on reliable information? The present case study searches through the use of WebQuests, a strategy that favors the teaching-learning relationship, to support the development of reflection and criticism of both the teacher and the student. Since it allows the teacher to select the resources available in the world-wide web, being able to make possible the contact with instructional materials to the research group involved in this case, students of the second grade of the High School. I selected those that will in fact contribute to the construction of a trustworthy knowledge that stimulates the critical sense when comparing diverse sources and materials, in the midst of an active learning process. According to this teaching-learning perspective, teachers are no longer the main knowledge depository and become methodological consultants and mediators of knowledge. The research is defined as a descriptive and analytical qualitative study, based on a private school in the city of Londrina (Brazil). As a result, it will be verified if the students, after the use of WebQuests, understand the importance of conducting research in so-called trusted places, in addition to perceiving the contributions of the WebQuest in the classroom, validating it.
Effects of Socio-Cultural Developments of Gjakovar Society
Human being is nowadays experiencing the highest achievements in all domains of life. These developments entered in almost all human societies, even to the most isolated ones. This has also influenced that today’s societies differ significantly from the thousand-years-old traditional societies. Such radical transformations, did not only change the world outside, but they continue to change radically the most intimate aspects of personal daily life. These achievements on one hand represent great promises for the future, creating possibilities to access and communicate with the most remote places on the planet, while on the other hand these present security concerns. Part of these developments and transformations is also the Gjakovar society, which until this new century was distinguished for traditional and cultural organization, not only in Kosovo, but all over Albanian territories. However, the new flows of time development imposed the reorganization of society in this area. Certainly it had and continues to have its challenges, especially from its internal part. Transformation and the new developing flows dictated in weakening the secular traditions and cultural habits and embrace new ones. Although on one side it appears to be positive, on the other hand are emerging new concern occurrences that are creating volatility and organization instability, and putting the society of this region in crisis through socio-cultural aspect, especially in the field of internal security.
Monitoring and Evaluating the Performance of Teachers Through the Process of Observation in the Classroom
When we discuss about the framework of the teaching hour, we can conclude that it is the main axis of the work of teachers in the school institutions. However, during the recent years it has been a subject of discussion the idea that learning timeframe has changed in all its dimensions or aspects. Then, the question arises as to how much really the class teaching has changed so far? What’s the professional level of preparedness of the teachers, in order to achieve a successful teaching hour? In this regard though, the evaluation of a teaching class, it should not only be done by the competent persons, but they must be also prepared in all the professional aspects. In this paper we will not talk about the learning and observation process in itself as a method of teaching and learning, but we will be focused mainly on the observation which is performed by the monitoring inspectors, the school director etc. during the teaching and educational process. The observation as a method it has mainly been used to supplement and verify the accuracy of the other methods. So far, the monitoring teamwork should pay attention to the process of observation, by including all the facts, the situations and aspects that are associated with the monitoring facilities, including all necessary aspects that help us find the truth and accuracy of the issues that we are being interested at.The methods, techniques and strategies enable us to objectively monitor and evaluate, in an effective and useful way, therefore the planning and methodology, as well as their use, are the main "pillars" of monitoring / evaluation of teaching performance. Thus, these methods and techniques enable us collecting relevant data and information, which are related to the performance of teachers on the basis of the measures and actions for corrections, improvements, promotions, incentives, licensing and full accountability. What methods, techniques and strategies we are going to use, it depends on the type of our monitoring and evaluation objectives. Also, it depends on whether we are dealing with the external or internal monitoring and evaluation process. In this paper we will try to present the observation method, such as an effective method for collecting data and evaluating the work of teachers. We will also examine some of the key aspects of observation: the observation planning, preparation, monitoring, the undergoing process of observation and the analysis after observation.
Family and its Role in a Healthy Education of Adolescent
Over the centuries the family is going through constant transformations as a result of the continuous process of evolution. It forms its shape under the conditions of life which dominate in a certain place and a certain time. Family in our country, has quickly changed with the social changes that are characteristic of our historical period of transition given the circumstances as a society we have experienced. Society regardless stages of its transformation or transition from one system to another, can not evade what is the basis of the continuation of its journey educating seed with acceptable norms of morality, education and culture necessary for the conduct of civilized life. Today there are several factors that affect adolescents and education. Today our Society in facing various difficulties in the education of their offspring. As in Albania and Montenegro today we rise or schooled teenagers in conditions completely different from their predecessors’ fathers and mothers. Today the competent authorities do not exercise their influence in Institutions of education enough so the family is difficult to educate teens genuine requirements Notwithstanding her desire that their offspring be better. Today in the vicinity of schools have full local where sold alcoholic beverages and tobacco. Given the fact that this problem among adolescents in Ulcinj and Shkodra did not take one by a survey earlier this issue we decided to develop questionnaire research with adolescents in these two cities close to the geography, but in different states with a not distant geographical longitude.
Classroom Management in Albanian Schools
This paper aims to reflect an effort to identify the problems associated with the educational learning process, as well as its function to express some inherent considerations to the most effective forms of the classroom management. Mentioned in this discussion are ways of management for various categories of students, not only from an intellectual level, but also by their behavior. Also, in the elaboration of this theme I was considering that in addition to other development directions of the country, an important place is occupied by the education of the younger generation in our school environments and especially in adopting the methods of teaching and learning management with a view to enable this generation to be competitive in the European labor market. This, of course, can be achieved by giving this generation the best values of behavior, cultural level, professional level and ethics one of an European family which we belong to, not just geographically. On such foundations, we have tried to develop this study, always improving the reality of the prolonged transition in the field of children’s education. Likewise, we have considered the factors that have left their mark on the structure, cultural level and general education level of children, such as high demographic turnover associated with migration from rural and urban areas, in the capacity of our educational institutions to cope with new situations etc. In the conclusions of this study is shown that there is required a substantial reform even in the pro-university educational system to ensure a significant improvement in the behavior of children, relations between them and the sound quality of their preparation. Used literature for this purpose has not been lacking, due to the fact that such problems are usually treated by different scholars. Likewise, we found it appropriate to use the ideas and issues discussed by the foreign literature that deals directly with classroom management problems. All the following treatise is intended to reflect the way of an effective classroom management.
Overeducation and Mismatches at the Labour Market: Albania Case
There is a constant increase in the graduates supply in the labour market in Albania. It seems that the expansion is going on a basis that risks distorting the distribution of students not in line with labor market needs. These expansions have been predicated on the assumption that more education is good for individuals and for society as a whole, not only in terms of economic outcomes like wages or employment, but also for a wide range of social outcomes like improved health and higher well-being. However, along with expansion of the system has come a range of new questions that have emerged as consequence of being many more tertiary graduates. For example, has the increase in tertiary graduates resulted in an oversupply of workers with tertiary qualifications, and thus a decline in the ‘value of a degree?’ If overeducation is a temporary disequilibrium or a permanent feature of economy; if the subject of degree affects the likelihood of being overeducated etc. are raised. This paper represents a research, aiming a total covering of the labour market measuring the overeducation rate for the graduates in Albania and drawing some take aways. The main contribution of the paper consists in providing estimations of graduate overeducation rate in national level. Some guidelines for possible recommendations for policies makers, relevant government agencies, higher education institutions, parents and other stakeholders involved in higher education sector in Albania, are also provided.
Components that Enhance Class Motivation in a Class Situation
This article examines the application of Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and its direct impact on student motivation within foreign language classrooms. Grounded in constructivist theory, the study initially reviews existing literature to highlight the comparative advantages of CLT over traditional teaching methodologies. To evaluate its practical efficacy, empirical research was conducted across selected urban and rural schools in the Republic of Kosovo. This field investigation utilized direct classroom observations to closely assess current CLT implementation strategies. Simultaneously, a comprehensive motivation questionnaire was administered in various teaching scenarios to determine which specific pedagogical approach most effectively fosters student engagement in English Language Teaching (ELT). Ultimately, this paper identifies the core components that enhance classroom motivation, offering critical insights for language educators seeking to optimize student acquisition. By bridging theoretical frameworks with empirical data, the study's findings underscore the fundamental role of active communicative interaction in driving sustainable learner motivation and success.
What Future for Specialized Teachers for Support Activities?
This article examines the historical and legislative evolution of specialized support teacher training within the Italian education system. The analysis traces this institutional trajectory from Law 517/1977, the foundational milestone of Italian school integration, through the establishment of the specialized Bachelor’s Degree in Primary Education Sciences, up to the "Good School" reform decree and the recent Law Proposal C-2444. Beyond merely tracing legal frameworks, the study highlights the shifting pedagogical paradigms and systemic challenges surrounding inclusive education. It argues that modern specialized educators must possess advanced collaborative and relational competencies to effectively involve pupils with disabilities in mainstream classrooms. This approach demands strong cooperation with standard curriculum teachers, fostering absolute co-responsibility and shared instructional ownership over all students. By bridging historical legislation with contemporary policy developments, this article provides a comprehensive overview of how professional training standards have continuously adapted to foster true classroom equity, democratic participation, and school integration.
