Professional development of kindergarten teachers in Croatia – a personal choice or an obligation

The quality of educational processes with children of preschool age and long-term educational outcomes are largely related to the work quality of teachers. Lifelong learning and professional development, as predictors of quality, need to be regarded as an ongoing task for kindergarten teachers. Findings of an empirical study of Croatian kindergarten teachers’ views (N = 388) on professional development point to a link between teachers’ intrinsic motivation and their professional development. Motivation explains 46.87% of the variance Personal commitment to professional development. A slight positive correlation was found between the level of formal education and the frequency of professional development (r = .216, p < .01). Although the level of education of kindergarten teachers is not a good independent predictor, it affects readiness to self-fund professional development (p < .01). As for the significance of conferences as a form of professional development, participants of the study identified them as an effective opportunity (M = 4.68, SD = .52), promoting both quality practices (M = 4.69, SD = .54) and exchange of experiences (M = 4.68, SD = .56). The length of participants’ professional work experience affects their assessment of the significance of practitioners’ networking as a way of improving the quality of everyday practices (F = 1.43, p < .05).

在语言学习过程中，人们一直颇重视认知，而对情感的研究相对较少。事实上，第二语言习得者在学习过程中易受个人情感因素的影响，其作用决不亚于认知因素对语言学习所起的作用。本文试从情感因素的四个方面：动机、焦虑、内向和向外及移情来探讨学习者的情感因素和语言学习之间的关系以及教师在教学中应采取的能发挥学生最大潜能的策略和方法。     

美国非虚构小说崛起的科技和思想背景

美国非虚构小说在上世纪中期的繁荣具有深厚的科学技术和思想意识根源。科技创新在提升人类认识水平和改善生存环境的同时，也革新了作家的认知观念和创作思想。认识危机的弥漫，怀疑意识的扩散，使作家放弃了虚构、解释和说教的传统，代之以真实事件来表达主题。而对这一段历史的回顾具有双重意义：不但可加深对美国这一重要的学现象的研究，而且给我们提供了洋为中用，以史为鉴的依据，有助于我们探讨国内目前纪实性学的繁荣。     

Strategy use,listening problems,and motivation of high- and low-proficiency Chinese listeners

Building on previous listening strategy research, the author aimed to explore the differences between Chinese high-proficiency listeners (HLs) and low-proficiency listeners (LLs) on their strategy use, problems, and motivation in native language (L1) listening. It involved 1,290 Grade 7 and 1,515 Grade 9 students. Both quantitative and qualitative methods, including a listening comprehension test, questionnaires, and interviews, were adopted. The findings indicated that HLs possessed more types of strategies and used strategies more frequently and effectively than LLs. HLs not only reported fewer listening problems but also had a better awareness of listening problems and use of problem-solving strategies than LLs. Both HLs and LLs agreed with the importance of listening but showed little interest in doing listening tasks. The similarities and differences between the findings of this study and those of second-language listening research and implications for planning effective instruction to enhance native language listening proficiency are discussed.
