Psychological well-being is a significant determinant of mental health and success in profession of future class and preschool teachers. hence, it is extremely important to investigate the individual factors that contribute to it. the aim of this research is to determine the contribution of personality traits, self-esteem and the locus of control in predicting the degree of subjective well-being in future class and preschool teachers. the sample included 418 students. the following instruments were used in the research: the Short Subjective Well-being Scale (KSb), the big five Plus two questionnaire (VP+2), rosenberg’s Self-esteem Scale and the Scale for Measuring the locus of control (loK IM-2). the results indicate that all three investigated categories of individual factors significantly predict the affective (64% of variance explained) and cognitive component (51% of variance explained) of subjective well-being, whereby personality traits proved to be the most important predictors. Neuroticism and extraversion contribute most to positive affectivity (Нβ=-0,801; Еβ=-0,794) and a positive attitude towards life (Нβ=-0,701; Еβ=-0,736). the educational implications refer to the possibilities of encouraging and developing those individual personality traits that significantly contribute to subjective well-being of future class and preschool teachers. In this way, we can also contribute to their mental health, which is the necessary precondition of the accomplishment of educational work.

Given the importance of teachers’ work and effectiveness, the authors have chosen to study how the teachers’ education determines their vocational behavior in terms of enthusiasm and growing and career frustration in Serbia and Greece. They examined the significance of education level and education pathway in mutual interaction and in interaction with intrinsic motivation of career choice. The study used survey methodology. The questionnaire was administered to a convenience sample of 213 secondary school teachers. The results indicate that career characteristics do not differ with respect to the level of formal education and the authors conclude that transit to the world of work can be made after the bachelor level, when the bachelor program includes adequate pedagogical preparation. The effect of education pathway interaction with intrinsic motivation was significant in the sample of Greek teachers. Teachers, who had undergone more thorough preparation for teaching, have developed their job attitudes independently from their career choice motivations. The lesser significance of initial motivation for teaching is interpreted as a possibility to compensate for lower levels of motivation by developing teaching competences, i.e. facilitating self-efficacy through teacher training. No evidence of teacher preparation ∗ Note.

In spite of numerous initiatives for promoting entrepreneurship in Serbia and the endeavours to encourage young people through education to think as entrepreneurs and start their own business, there are almost no papers in our psychological and educational literature that deal with this topic. Starting from eisen’s theory of entrepreneurial behaviour as planned and intentional, we conducted a research with the aim of determining the factors which influence the intention of young people in Serbia to choose entrepreneurship as a career option. the focus in the research was on the following factors: personal initiative, entrepreneurial experience (close per-sons as entrepreneurial role models) and entrepreneurship education. additionally, the role of gender, school achievement and parental education was analysed, as well as the role of perceiving the socioeconomic context in which young people live. the sample was convenient and comprised 222 fourth-grade students from two schools of economics and three grammar schools in Serbia. robitschek’s scale (PGISS-II) was used for measuring personal initiative, while other instruments were constructed for the purposes of the research. the used statistical procedures included descriptive sta-tistics, chi-square, t-test, Pearson’s coefficient of linear correlation, as well as stand-ard multiple regression analysis. the results indicate that the personal growth initiative, entrepreneurial experience (especially parents who are entrepreneurs) and the perception of the context in which young people live are the most important factors for forming an entrepreneurial intention in secondary school students in Serbia. the obtained findings are discussed, first and foremost, in the context of implications for entrepreneurship education in which the desirable educational strategies refer to encouraging student initiative and engaging successful entrepreneurs in teaching as mentors. entrepreneurship

the aim of this study is to explore the possible use of the indicators of creative thinking, taken from the trefoil concept, in the field of chemistry when assessing students’ performance, determining the potential for creative development and provid-ing directions for further work. In this way, chemistry instruction might contribute to encouraging the creative abilities of students necessary in the modern, fast-paced world. there is the question of whether the indicators of creative thinking can be use-ful in evaluating students’ achievements in the situation of solving open-ended tasks in the field of chemistry and the kinds of results achieved by students. the research sample included 97 eight-grade students from two primary schools in belgrade. the research was conducted at the end of the eighth grade in the school year 2016/17, after the entire chemistry curriculum for primary school had been covered. an appropri-ate achievement test was constructed and then implemented. the obtained results indicate that a large number (30%) of students are capable of formulating several ac-ceptable answers to the given open-ended task, which is a characteristic of divergent thinking in sciences. this finding is even more relevant if we bear in mind that the students from this sample did not have any similar type of demands or experiences in previous classes. this points to the fact that there is a significant potential for developing creative thinking, which might be realised if students solved open-ended tasks more frequently.

In the eighth grade of primary school, students make their first decisions on further education and profession. these decisions are influenced by interests, as well as the assessments of one’s own competence in different domains of activity. the aim of this research is to determine the structure of the relationship between academic self-concept and professional interests. the sample of respondents is convenient and includes 286 eight-grade primary school students. for the purposes of the research, we constructed the instruments for the assessment of academic self-concept on the level of school subjects and professional interests, devised in accordance with the holland’s rIaSec model. all scales had satisfactory psychometric properties. Us-ing linear correlations and canonical correlation analysis, we attempted to determine whether the relationship between professional interests and academic self-concept suits the classification of school subjects according to holland’s rIaSec themes. linear correlations have partially confirmed the assumed relationships between the two constructs. four pairs were extracted by the canonical correlation analysis, re-flecting: 1) the global relationship between the two constructs; 2) the relationship of self-concept in foreign language, Serbian language and literature, art and music mostly with the artistic interest type, but also the social and conventional type; 3) the relationship of self-concept in biology, chemistry, but also history, with the investi-gative interest type; 4) for the most part, the relationship of self-concept in physical education and physics with the social and enterprising interest type. although it has been confirmed that there is a positive relationship between the two constructs with-in holland’s rIaSec themes, the assumed classification of school subjects depicts the relationships between the two sets of variables only in the simplified form. the contribution of this research is in enhancing the understanding of the relationship between the factors of educational and professional development.
