    Educational Computer Software in the Function of Integrating and Individualization in Teaching of Mathematics and Knowledge of Nature
    (MODESTUM, 2018) Ćurčić, Milenko; Milinković, Dragica; Radivojević, Dragana
    The paper examines the empirically verified effect (parallel group experiment) of the application of the software form of integration and individualization of teaching of natural and mathematical knowledge in relation to traditional teaching, for example, the teaching sub-themes Cultivated habitats and life communities, and Equations with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in the set N (the natural numbers) and N0 (the natural numbers plus the neutral element 0). The sample consisted of 250 pupils aged 10 to 11 years: 125 in the experimental group and 125 in the control group. The data were processed by statistical procedures and displayed in textual and graphical ways. The statistical analysis of the data obtained from the research has been achieved by the SPSS 17.0 software package, wherein the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, a t-test. Statistical indicators have confirmed the assumptions that the software form of integration and individualization contributes to more efficient and easier acquiring of knowledge, raising the quality and quantity of students’ knowledge and increasing the interest in studying content in the teaching of Knowledge of Nature and Mathematics, and as such points to a preferred model of teaching and learning.

    Internal Motivation and Students’ Knowledge of Math
    (Faculty of teacher education, Zagreb, Croatia, 2021) Zubac, Marina; Milinković, Dragica; Marković, Olivera
    The aim of this research was to determine whether teaching mathematics in an interesting way has an effect on increasing motivation and success of high school students. With this purpose, an experimental research was carried out with comparative groups in high schools in Čitluk, Ljubuški and Mostar on a sample of 300 students. Interesting teaching methods were utilised with students in the experimental group, while the control group worked in a traditional way. The survey questionnaire and the test of knowledge served as measuring instruments. Testing was performed at the beginning and at the end of the study. Lykert-type scale was used to test internal motivation while statistical significance of statistical significance of differences was measured using the mixed ANOVA model 2x2 and t- test. The results show a better effect of interesting teaching on the success of students, as well as an increase in students’ motivation to learn mathematics. Therefore, it is recommended to apply interesting methods in teaching mathematics.

    Mathematical Modelling of Natural and Social Context at Preschool Level of Education
    (Faculty of teacher education, Zagreb, Croatia, 2018) Milinković, Dragica; Ćurčić, Milenko
    This work indicates the importance of mathematical modelling, which results in the adoption of mathematical concepts through development of problem-solving abilities and logical-mathematical thinking. Teaching methodology literature perceives mathematical modelling as a frame for learning mathematics within which other sciences and scopes of life are studied through mathematical contents. For preschool children, it is the world they live in, where each new situation represents a real natural problem. Mathematical modelling is another social experience and novelty in their lives. At an early age, modelling is a revealing activity that entails mathematisation of a real situation and creation of a model. This enables children to focus their attention on different types of presentation of the variable relations. This paper presents the research of preschool teachers’ attitudes about values of mathematical modelling, its appropriateness for early childhood, and possible application in preschool mathematics learning. By using the questionnaire on the sample of 197 subjects, the obtained results confirm preschool teachers’ positive attitude towards modelling, but also the insufficient knowledge about theoretical and practical trends related to this topic.
