The article investigates students perception of the importance of education and its rationale at the beginning of their studies. Fifty-seven students from the bachelor’s programme Teacher Training for Kindergarten from 2018/2019 to 2021/2022 participated. The sampling was based on convenience. A qualitative approach was used through open verbal statements transcribed into a text. The individual importance of education to students at the beginning of the first semester and their personal justifications for the importance of education were identified, representing several categories. We found the following dimensions for the categories of the meaning of education (personal goal category) and personal definition of education (categories: association with context; from individual to society; on the background of historical development; personality development and evolution; essence; mode of acquisition; value; through the lens of the present; Dionysian conception; general overview; confused definitions).

The aim of our study was to explore the connection between improvisation and flow. Data were collected from 252 tertiary music students from Slovenia and Croatia (121 male and 131 female musicians), who filled in The Questionnaire on Attitudes to Music Improvisation, The Inventory on Feelings associated with Music Improvisation, and the Work-related Flow Inventory. The results show that the female students have significantly more negative feelings and attitudes toward improvisation, and they experience less flow while improvising. Differences were even more pronounced when comparing students who only played classical music with those who played other genres, as well. Regression analysis showed that we can explain 71% of the variance in flow with attitudes toward improvisation.

The paper presents research on museum-school relationship from the point of view of teachers from secondary grammar and vocational schools. It explores their current and preferred interactions. The results show that teachers from vocational schools make field trips less frequently and are less satisfied with their relationship with museums. The characteristics of museum-school interactions are the same for both groups and form a model of low-intensity relations, with each institution maintaining its discrete authority, responsibilities and resources. Unlike the responses of the grammar-school teachers, those of vocational-school teachers do not indicate any development of the present relationship.

The museum and the school are two complementary institutions within the system of cultural heritage care. The Knight’s Hall in Brežice Castle is used here as an example for qualitative research on cultural heritage interpretation. The research focused on scientific art-historical information as the basis for cultural messaging. The analysis of the museum interpretation included a printed Knight’s Hall guidebook, as well as hall-related information boards and digital information, while the analysis of the school interpretation included an art history exam catalogue and an art history textbook. The research revealed a minor difference in the interpretation of the Baroque wall paintings, specifically with regard to the ceiling of the hall. At the museum, the ceiling is interpreted as a part of the wall painting, not, however, as its highlight.

Museums today engage in a range of educational activities, including simulated museum's historical school lessons. The article uses the Slovenian School Museum as an example and describes the education it offers, especially concerning museum's historical school lessons. The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the views and reactions of university students (n = 19) from the Faculty of Arts at the University of Ljubljana, concerning what they learned from the enactment of a historical school lesson. An open-ended type of questionnaire was given to participants in the study year 2019/20 and used to evaluate the “Ancient Emona” school lesson. The study's findings show the historical school lesson conducted in the museum to be an effective, living, and active means of education on the history of teaching for university students.

Museum pedagogy is a museological and pedagogical discipline that deals with communication between artifacts and the public, and the interpretation of cultural heritage content to satisfy cognitive and experiential interests while accepting cultural and civilizational achievements. This paper discusses theoretical knowledge about the nature of learning in the context of the modern division into formal, non-formal, and informal learning. The research includes the museum as a place of non-formal and informal learning and analyses indicators of visitor engagement. The research was conducted among students of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Split.

Previous research has shown that the method of aesthetic transfer works successfully in preschool as well as in primary and secondary education when it comes to regular forms of teaching. In this study, we were interested in how this principle can be implemented in museum education in an authentic gallery space. To this end, a case study was conducted with a sample of 55 students aged 12-14 (n = 55). The method of aesthetic transfer was tested on 4 works in the Maribor Art Gallery. The results show that the method of aesthetic transfer proved to be a successful didactic principle even in the gallery space, especially as a successful principle for learning about contemporary visual art.

The school practicum is an essential component of pre-service student teachers’ training in the PGCE qualification, affording opportunities to develop mentees’ own identities. Along with a range of competences. This study explores how student teachers at Nelson Mandela University perceived their School-Based Learning (SBL) mentoring experience about the roles that mentors should fulfil based on an adapted seven-factor framework (Hudson, 2004, 2009) by adopting a post-positivist paradigm. The findings showed that both groups of participants who would like to return to the same mentor again or those who wish not to do so indicated that these seven factors played a crucial role in their decision-making.

The paper presents museum theatre as an interpretive tool, its theoretical framework, developmental origins, the use of drama in museums in the 20th and 21st centuries, and its pedagogical outcomes. A section of the paper is dedicated to the use of creative drama in museums and its role as an educational model for working with children and young people. Museum performances created in the last ten years in the Matica Srpska Gallery, the Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection, the Belgrade City Museum, the Kikinda National Museum, the Museum of Vojvodina, and the House of Jevrem Grujić will be mentioned.

The aim of the study was to investigate how physical education classes were conducted during remote schooling. The results confirm the poorer quality and duration of physical education classes during remote schooling. Our findings also coincide with the findings of other studies, which show that during the COVID-19 pandemic, children’s physical/sports activity, as well as their motor functions, decreased dramatically. This study provides clear answers to all responsible stakeholders that remote schooling is not an appropriate measure from the point of view of ensuring the conditions for healthy development of children.
