COMPARISON OF THE FAMILIARITY OF GRADE 4 ROMA AND NON-ROMA SCHOOL CHILDREN WITH SOME BIOLOGICAL TERMS IN ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
47-60Views:286Most of the Roma settlements in Croatia are spatially segregated from the settlements of the majority population. Specific cultural elements constitute the ethnic border towards the local population, making it difficult and reducing the possibility of their integration into the majority population. One of the results of that segregation is the unfamiliarity of the Roma children with the language of the majority population. This unfamiliarity with the Croatian language is a big obstacle for the integration of the Roma children into Croatian society through school education. Starting from Grade 1 they follow the regular school curriculum. Two of the subjects that are taught from the very beginning of their primary school education are Natural Science and English as a foreign language. In this paper, the authors present the results (statistical analysis and discussion) of their research study. It compares the familiarity of Roma and Non-Roma Grade 4 children (age 10) with some biological terms in English as a foreign language. Based on the results of their research, the authors suggest modifications of the school curriculum for Roma children that would enable their better school achievement and subsequently their easier integration into Croatian society.

The Need to Educate People about AI
65-76Views:214The rise of artificial intelligence can be felt in all areas of life. The technology, which has been continuously developing since the 1950s, has gradually entered everyday life unnoticed by most people. With the appearance of Chat GPT, launched by Open AI, which exploded in the fall of 2022, events accelerated, and we are getting more and more information about the operation of AI. All areas of education have responded to these changes, to different degrees and speeds depending on the country. The fundamental task of education is to prepare students for life and to provide them with usable knowledge. Professionals working in education, and educational researchers are constantly looking for ways to prepare students for a world that we do not yet know, but one thing is certain: AI will be a determining factor in it. Knowledge about the opportunities and dangers inherent in AI is slowly being incorporated into the curriculum, and the first condition for this is that teachers are also adequately trained in this area. In this study, I analyze the topic based on the literature on the use of AI in education and the preparedness of professionals to see how ready education is for a world where AI literacy will be, or already is, a fundamental condition for competitiveness.
