1. An experimental problem-based approach in mathematics teaching and mathematical problem-solving performance in grade 3 primary school pupilsDaniel Doz, Mara Cotič, Nastja Cotič, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Problem-solving is a key aspect of mathematics instruction. Although it is part of several national curricula, its implementation is still being vastly explored. The present research, which is part of a larger project, aimed to investigate the effect of using problem-oriented in struction in grade 3 of primary school on students’ mathematical abilities of solving problems in arithmetic, geometry, and logic. The study used a pedagogical experiment, with a sample of 240 pupils in Grade 3 from four randomly selected Slovenian primary schools. Students were divided into two groups: 100 in the experimental group and 140 in the control group. Two tests of mathematical knowledge, constructed by the authors, were used to assess potential differences between the groups before and after the experiment took place. The results showed that the use of an experimental model of problem-based learning had a statistically significant effect on pupils’ mathematics problem-solving achievement in all the domains of mathematics (i.e., arithmetic, geometry, logic & set theory). The study suggests that modern school reforms should focus on problem-based mathematics instruction as a means of achieving meaningful and lasting knowledge in students. Additional research is needed to replicate the results due to the limited number of participants in the present research.

5. Who says they don't read? Slovene elementary school students' reading motivation in EFLAnja Pirih, 2015, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A typical (Slovene) teenager today no longer finds reading materials on the book shelves in the local library, but forms a reading list of electronic sources, very often in English. However, in contrast with an abundance of studies focusing on first language (L1) reading strategies and motivation, not a lot of literature can be found on reading motivation in a foreign language, even though it is perceived as one of the most important factors influencing second language (L2) development. The aim of this research is to determine the influences on reading motivation in English as a foreign language in the group of young teenagers (11-14-year-olds) and a possible transfer of L1 reading attitudes to L2 reading. The theoretical framework relies on Wigfield and Guthrie's (1997) self-efficacy theory and Day and Bamford's (1998) expectancy value model. The data obtained from 197 questionnaires give an insight into not only the frequency of reading in English and the type of reading materials, but also the factors influencing teenagers' reading motivation in EFL.
