The aim of this study was to examine the attitudes of primary school students and teachers towards Gregorian singing. The research was conducted during the academic year 2019/2020 and included 381 students and thirty-five primary school teachers in Croatia. The results of the t-test showed a statistically significant high appreciation of Gregorian singing among students and teachers. Using the Kruskal Wallis test, we established that younger student showed greater appreciation compared to older students. Students and teachers expressed positive attitudes towards the examples of Gregorian singing to which they listened. Most subjects indicated that they liked Gregorian singing and desired to get to know it more deeply during music lessons in primary education.

The study aims to explore whether there are significant differences in self-assessed creativity between pedagogical and non-pedagogical students, the potential connection between creativity and pedagogical or non-pedagogical study orientation, whether the pedagogical or non-pedagogical orientation of studies influences creativity, and additionally whether there are significant differences in self-assessed creativity between the genders, related to the results of creativity self-assessment. The results showed no statistically significant differences in creativity between students according to gender or according to whether they were pedagogical or non-pedagogical students. We can conclude that the expression of creativity is likely to be influenced by many other factors.

Some teachers take advantage of information and communication technology (hereinafter: ICT) in their music lessons, as it enables transmission of sound, video, and other data via the Internet. Such technology used during music lessons can serve as an accessory for performing specific music activities. The aim of our study was to find how much ICT is used by music teachers and whether there is a connection between formal music education of primary school teachers (formal music education, choir membership, dance activities) and the use of ICT during music lessons. The results show that the use of ICT during music lessons is similar among teachers with and without music education.

School culture is a multifaceted concept, comprising multiple dimensions. The present research explored relations between selected dimensions: between the dimension focused on shared objectives, trust in school leadership, and on a managerial approach, and the important dimension focused on the innovation process and the results expected from the education process. School leaders using the School Culture Inventory evaluated current and desired school culture in their primary schools to identify culture gaps. The research findings should help school leaders in planning to shape the culture and innovate the strategy of the schools they manage.

The article describes a project about ‘experiential education’ at a school in Germany. The main educational objective is to offer an alternative way of teaching pupils who show destructive and aggressive behaviour. After a critical analysis of the concept of experiential education with regard to its educational relevance, the conceptual design and implementation of the project is presented. The experiences gained through participant observation and interviews can be interpreted in such a way that pupils with behavioural problems can gain a new, different access to themselves through special movement- and social-related activities, an outcome which has positive effects on social behaviour in the class and school climate in general and working behaviour in subject lessons specifically.

Research shown that solutions for children with special education needs are successful in improving their academic performance, but less successful in improving their social inclusion. This article presents a case study of additional support from mobile special and rehabilitation educators for students who need extra encouragement to achieve their goals but are not identified as children with special needs. The research focus was understanding of inclusion and identifying overlapping activities with established practices. A patchy understanding of inclusion was found and a focus on working differently with students. Despite the encouraging findings, designing inclusive practices stays a major challenge.

A collaborative art education project involving Japan and the Czech Republic focused on the enculturation processes experienced by two teachers and their students, how immersion in visual arts can contribute to cultural understanding and the reconciliation of two pedagogical approaches to art. This project also addressed this reconciliation with the unknowable ‘Other’ through the creation of artwork, ‘travelling objects’ and collaborative teaching. Outcomes include similarities between objects from the two countries and two pedagogical approaches and suggest that participants strived to reconcile the Other, thus creating a spatial and relational intermediate space by dealing with those objects and communicating together.

The goal of this study was to examine the contribution of teachers’ support and enthusiasm to explaining self-confidence and mathematics anxiety in primary-school students. The results of the t-test showed that girls and boys statistically significantly differ only in the perception of confidence variable, while no gender difference was determined in the other variables. The results of regression analysis showed that teachers' support and enthusiasm are predictors of student self-confidence, with support also making an independent contribution to explaining mathematics anxiety.

The purpose of this research lies on the fact that although teacher’s job is generally considered to be satisfactory, some of its aspects are perceived as difficult. In this qualitative study, conducted in Croatia, 158 students, 78 teachers and 148 parents were interviewed. The most frequently listed difficult aspects of teacher’s job were keeping discipline, transferring knowledge, motivating students, working with problematic children, communicating well with students, adjusting to students, assessing students’ knowledge realistically, and working with parents. Answers varied slightly between participants, between primary and secondary schools, as well as depending on the length of teaching careers.

This research aims to investigate the differences between Slovenian and Croatian preschool teachers in their opinions and views on the identification of potentially gifted children, on the self-assessment of their professional skills in this field, on the importance of education and professional formation, and on the role of school counseling service and children’s parents. The survey included 542 participants, 248 (45.8%) preschool teachers from Slovenia and 294 (54.2%) preschool teachers from Croatia. The results show that there are statistically significant differences in self-assessment of individual professional skills between Slovenian and Croatian preschool teachers.
