The paper aims to explore mental calculation strategies and the frequency of their application in tasks. In the paper, we categorized mental calculation strategies related to four basic mathematical operations, looked at several different strategies used by students in a test containing mental calculation tasks, and presented an overview of the interview results. We also analyzed age-related differences in the number of strategies applied by participants. It was found that Mathematics in school does not always contribute to the development of and flexibility in the use of mental calculation strategies. One apparent reason is student preference for previously acquired written algorithms.

Self-determination theory assumes that the motivational teaching style significantly influences the motivational orientation of students, as well as their memorization, automation of learning skills and educational achievements. The research included 30 special education and rehabilitation teachers, who provide additional professional assistance in primary school and who were asked to complete a self-evaluation questionnaire based on self-determination theory. The following facts were ascertained: the autonomy-supportive style of teaching prevails; the presence of one characteristic does not condition the presence of another characteristic; and the use of style does not depend on the years of experience.

Physical/sporting activities provide a child with opportunities to interact with others, validate and express him/herself, while also being critical factors in socialisation and the prevention of deviant behaviour. Therefore, in this study, we were interested in which physical/sporting activities are most strongly associated with the management of behaviour problems. Results from a representative sample of 1782 Slovenian primary school students show that a lack of physical/sporting activity is the strongest predictor of internalising behaviour problems. In this context, key roles are played by the frequency and intensity of activity, extracurricular sports activities, practising dance and limiting sedentary transportation to school.

This paper presents an updated version of the implementation of the course Basics of Didactics of Mathematics. The main goals of the modernization were to use ICT tools and modern learning to overcome objective limitations in the implementation of some elements of the teaching process. For this purpose, we created e-portfolios in the Mahara environment. After the course, students were asked to complete a survey questionnaire. It was found that the updated version of the subject led to improved communication between the participants, increased student engagement in the learning process, and increased student awareness of teaching phenomena. We were not successful in increasing the level of reflection to the point where students would move beyond their initial subjective theories of teaching.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the expression of thirty-two characteristics of a musically talented person in various life periods (from three to thirty-five years of age), in a case study of an internationally renowned musician and organist, Aleksey Vylegzhanin. The results show that the expression of the characteristics of his musical talent increased with age. With enough rehearsal and support from the environmental factor, his characteristics increased to a level above average, compared to his peers. These were also predispositions for the musical development of the organ virtuoso.

The study investigated the relationship between sensory-specific English learning material stimuli and sensory learning preferences. The study involved 53 English as a foreign language participants. Participants were provided with different sensory-specific English learning material stimuli to analyse their overall comprehension. A canonical correlation analysis was used to analyse the collected data statistically. Auditory learning preference was significantly related to adaptive English learning stimuli (paper texts with sound, images with captions, and sound with images). The canonical correlation coefficient of .665 indicated 44.2% of the variance in English learning was determined by learners with auditory learning preferences and adaptive learning materials.

The level of pupils’ acquired phonological awareness at the beginning of the 1st grade of primary school presupposes a high probability of ability to perform an initial reading. The purpose of the study was to check the correlation and regression between the initial and the final sound and reading words in the Slovenian language. Accordingly, 192 first-grade pupils were included in the sample. The purpose of the study was to check the correlation and regression between the initial and the final sound and reading of the words. The importance of the findings highlights the promotion of voice awareness in kindergarten.

The paper presents an analysis of songbooks used in kindergarten. It outlines the need for renewal of the existing kindergarten curriculum from the perspective of preserving the Slovenian music tradition, and within this context, the indispensable role of children’s folk songs in the preservation of Slovenian folk music. Furthermore, it tackles the following three issues: (i) the disproportionate representation of children’s folk songs and author songs in songbooks; (ii) the information provided about children’s folk songs in songbooks, and (iii) the representation of children’s folk songs in kindergarten.

Many educators are considering using online games for learning vocabulary. Among the existing online games is Kahoot. This study aimed to determine if male and female students learn vocabulary the same way using Kahoot! Games. The study examined whether there was any significant difference among the female and male groups in their vocabulary enhancement. This quantitative research study used a pre-test and a post-test administered to sixty-eight seventh-grade students. Findings revealed a significant difference in vocabulary enhancement between female and male students, thus supporting the use of Kahoot! games as an effective method for teaching vocabulary.

The article investigates the impact factors which influence pupils' attitudes towards learning English as a foreign language since these represent an important source of information for planning lessons in heterogeneous or mixed ability classes. The empirical part presents the results of a study among third graders (n=90), aimed at identifying the impact of the following factors on their attitudes: the age at which they started learning English, their gender, the exposure to English in their home environment and the valuable others (teachers, parents, and peers). The results suggest that in this age group, parents and teachers have a more salient influence on the learners' attitudes towards English than their peers.
