Democracy-as-becoming in early years and primary education
In a context of growing democratic fragility, education is increasingly called upon to cultivate democratic participation, relational responsibility, and civic engagement. However, dominant approaches to education for democracy continue to privilege cognitive knowledge and procedural participation, often overlooking the embodied, affective, and relational dimensions through which democracy is first encountered and lived. This paper advances the c…
The Relationship of Productive Vocabulary and Reading Habits of Primary School Students
In the last twenty years, difficulties in verbalising one’s own thoughts have been noticed more and more frequently among primary school students. With the adoption of the Curriculum for the Croatian language subject (2019) within the Language and Communication domain in each grade, i.e. age group, one outcome is related to the acquisition of vocabulary, and vocabulary enrichment is one of the tasks of the Literature and Creativity domain as well…
The Teacher 's Role in the Creative Teaching of Literacy / Uloga učitelja u kreativnom poučavanju pismenosti
The teacher plays the central role in the educational process. In Croatian language teaching, the teacher represents a role model for his or her students in both speaking and writing. This is why it is very important to encourage teachers in language and language expression classes to stimulate and develop the creative thinking of their students by promoting new and interesting ways of finding different solutions to various problems. The creative…
Mastering Croatian Standard Language in a Plurilingual School Environment / Povezanost ovladavanja hrvatskim standardnim jezikom i plurilingvalnoga školskog okruženja
Multilingualism and multiculturalism are core factors underlying the language policy of the European Union. Even bilingual communication is considered as multilingualism since it contributes to the creation of a multilingual society. Hence, European speakers are expected to use at least two parallel language codes (mother tongue and one foreign language). However, most European educational documents (CEFRL, 2005) emphasize the triple multilingual…
Influence of Language Games on Functional Literacy of Younger School-Age Children / Utjecaj jezičnih igara na funkcionalnu pismenost djece mlađe školske dobi
The fundamental goal of Croatian language teaching in primary school is to develop the language and communicative competence, i.e. to develop functional literacy (National Curriculum, 2006). Precisely for this reason, Croatian language teaching should encourage the development of literacy in an interesting and creative manner. Creativity is a fundamental human potential that can be enhanced by stimulating creative thinking systematically througho…
Factors Influencing the Acquisition of Croatian Language in Early Discourse / Čimbenici ovladavanja hrvatskim jezikom u ranome diskursu
The process of language acquisition including the Croatian language begins in the second trimester of pregnancy. The process continues with the child starting school, as the morphological and syntactic knowledge becomes automated only around the age of 11/12. A child starts its institutional learning at the age of seven, or in the first grade of elementary school, entering the phase of concrete thinking operations which ends around the age of 11/…
Language Games in Early School Age as a Precondition for the Development of Good Communicative Skills / Jezična igra u ranoj školskoj dobi kao preduvjet razvoja dobrih komunikacijskih vještina
Game is an inborn (immanent) activity to children; it includes a large number of activities and helps children to develop their own abilities. Since it is filled with harmony, pleasure and rhythm, it makes it easier to accept larger amount of information without fatigue. Research (Velički & Peti Stantić, 2009; Aladrović Slovaček, 2011; Pavličević-Franić, Aladrović Slovaček & Ivanković, 2011) suggests that, learning through games, children master …
