101. The attitudes of educators towards picture books with homosexual contentAnita Lečei, Tina Štemberger, Majda Cencič, 2016, original scientific article Abstract: Inclusion refers to the respectful acceptance of diverse modes of being, including sexual orientation as one of the means of its multiple expression. Aimed at the portrayal of the current trends in a highly diversified society, picture books with their explicit homosexual content are growing in popularity. It is evident, however, that the pragmatics of their kindergarten use is still controversial, largely motivated by teachers' attitude to homosexuality as such. The purpose of the presented study, undertaken among the teachers from the Istrian County, was to determine educators' orientation towards homosexually-charged picture books and identify opinion differentiating factors influencing their perception, such as teachers' service length or the degree of the respective urbanization or rurality of the area they inhabit. A questionnaire was devised as a means of data collection. The research results indicate that the pool of 127 respondents was neither fervently pro-or against both the picture books with homosexual content and their kindergarten use as such. Although with no significant statistical differences in the service length, teachers with more extensive in-service experience find it easier to accept homosexual content of the picture books in question but are more reluctant to incorporate their use into their teaching practice. As expected, the higher the level of urbanization of the area educators represent, the more accepting they are. Conversely, the more rural teachers' immersing surrounding, the lower openness to diversity on their part, translating into their diminished readiness to use the discussed homosexually explicit material. Close analytical reading of the study results reveals that for the previously mentioned inclusion to become an integral part of the teaching practice, the system of education has to undergo major changes to provide professional development opportunities for teachers and equip them with necessary tools for the skilled handling of such sensitive matter as homosexuality proves to be.

109. Kako dodiplomski študenti na pedagoški fakulteti zaznavajo šolski prostor kot dejavnik aktivnega učenjaMajda Cencič, 2015, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: Aktivno učenje, povezano z izkušnjami učencev, poteka v konkretnih življenjskih okoliščinah, učenci pa z lastno aktivnostjo pridobijo novo znanje. Učno okolje mora pri tem čim bolj spodbujati učenje. Interaktivno učno okolje pa ni le spodbujevalnik učenja, ampak je tudi dejavnik učenja, saj prinaša številna sporočila, npr. kakšen odnos imamo do ekologije in trajnostnega razvoja, kako razumemo socialno kohezivnost v smislu sodelovanja s krajani, starejšimi, invalidi ipd. Šolski prostor deluje kot prikriti kurikulum, tridimenzionalni učbenik, tretji učitelj, tihi pouk ipd. Glede na drugačne poglede na šolski prostor nas je zanimalo, kakšna stališča imajo dodiplomski študenti Pedagoške fakultete v Kopru o šolskem prostoru kot dejavniku učenja in ali se stališča študentov razlikujejo glede na smer in letnik študija. V ta namen je 299 študentov vseh smeri študija v juniju 2012 izpolnjevalo vprašalnik. Iz vprašalnika, pretežno zaprtega tipa v obliki številčne ocenjevalne lestvice in lestvice stališč Likertovega tipa, smo za namen prispevka posebej analizirali tri stališča, ki se nanašajo na šolski prostor kot dejavnik aktivnega učenja. Združili smo jih v novo spremenljivko in jo za namen nadaljnje obdelave standardizirali. Podatki, obdelani na ravni opisne (srednje vrednosti, razpršenost) in inferenčne (Spearmanov korelacijski koeficient, Kolmogorov-Smirnov preizkus, regresijska analiza) statistike, kažejo, da se študenti strinjajo, da je šolski prostor dejavnik učenja, da pa na stališče o šolskem prostoru kot dejavniku aktivnega učenja bolj vpliva letnik kot smer študija.
