This study examined psychological characteristics and behavioral regulation in codependent women. The study aimed to identify personality traits, approval motivation, and empathy levels as predictors of behavioral regulation in codependent women. A total of 102 women (mean age 30.39 years) in relationships or related to alcohol, drug, or non-chemical addicts participated. Psychological testing and survey were used to assess codependence, aggression, empathy, need for approval, cognitive regulation of emotions, and self-regulation strategies: codependency Self-Inventory scale (CSIS; B. Weinhold, J. Weinhold); questionnaire “Auto- and Aggression to others” (E.P. Ilyin); method “Diagnosis of the level of empathy” (V. V. Boyko); Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (adapted by Yu.L.Khanin); The questionnaire of cognitive regulation of emotions (Rasskazova E.I., Leonova A.B., Pluzhnikov I.V.) and the questionnaire “Style of self-regulation of behavior” (Morosanova V.I.). Results suggest that personal characteristics, approval motivation, and empathy can predict the severity of codependence, manifestation of aggressiveness, self-regulation strategies, and cognitive regulation strategies in codependent women.

Personalized Learning through Artificial Intelligence: Opportunities, Risks, and Policy Perspectives
Статья научная
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is redefining the landscape of personalized education by enabling adaptive systems that respond dynamically to individual learning needs. This paper explores how AI technologies-including machine learning, big data analytics, and intelligent tutoring systems-support the transformation of pedagogical models. Key opportunities discussed include real-time personalization of content delivery, increased student motivation, and inclusive learning environments. At the same time, the study critically examines potential risks, such as data privacy concerns, algorithmic bias, and the erosion of human-centered pedagogy. Policy implications are addressed with recommendations for regulatory frameworks to ensure ethical and responsible AI integration into education. The paper emphasizes the need for empirical research to validate AI-driven models in diverse educational settings. By aligning technological innovation with humanistic values, the paper contributes to ongoing discourse on how AI can support-not supplant-the role of educators. The findings provide a foundation for future research and policy design aimed at creating equitable, transparent, and effective personalized learning ecosystems.

PhD Students’ Perceptions and Strategies For Managing Stress During Their PhD Studies
Статья научная
The combined effects of academic demands, the need for effective time management, balancing work and personal commitments, and financial challenges lead to a significant degree of stress among PhD students. Understanding how stress is perceived and managed is crucial to understanding the challenges faced by PhD students during their most intense period of academic study. The study aims to examine how doctoral students display stress during their studies. A specially designed Questionnaire on how doctoral students perceive and manage stress during their studies was created for this study. It had seven items, and respondents were asked to rate their level of agreement with each one on a five-point Likert-type scale. A sample of 438 doctoral students from the Republic of Serbia with varying demographic, professional, and academic characteristics was used in the study. ANOVA and correlation tests, among other statistical analyses, revealed a high degree of stress related to difficulties balancing personal and academic commitments, particularly for doctoral students who are self-funded and have jobs. Gender differences show that female PhD students experience higher levels of stress, older PhD students struggle to find time for relaxation, and employed respondents report higher levels of stress than their counterparts without jobs. Scientific disciplines also differ, so that PhD students in the humanities report high levels of pressure. In contrast, those in the natural and technical sciences are less stressed by the competitive aspect of their study. The results emphasize the necessity of specialized institutional support services, such as financial aid, mentorship, and adaptable stress management programs, in order to reduce stress and enhance PhD students’ academic experiences.

The monitoring and recording of the individual characteristics of children are very important for the development of quality education. Also the views of the teachers about the differences in the development, the potentials and the affinities of the children in the early school period are especially important. The quality education process in the modern school should be adapted to the individual potentials of the children. The children are individuals with their own integrity and characteristics. (Johnston and Halocha, 2010). They have individual pace and develop individual approaches in the learning process. This individual pace in the development of the children requires the teachers to regularly monitor and record the individual characteristics and differences of the children, monitoring the children’s interests, planning instruction which will adapt to the different learning approaches and the different pace of progress of the students. Setting out from this paradigm, this paper, which is based on a realized research, aims to offer findings about the treatment of the individual characteristics of the early school-age children in our country. According to this, we carried out a research in four primary schools in Skopje, which showed us that the teachers lack the appropriate conditions and possibilities to monitor and record the individual characteristics and the specific differences of the students in the early school period.

Previous studies suggest that competition and motivation are reliable predictors of academic dishonesty. However, little is known about the role of situational factors in predicting academic dishonesty. Some studies have found that online learning is more prone to academic dishonesty, but others have found the opposite. This study focuses on academic dishonesty, how it relates to competitive orientation and motivation, and how that differs in two class modes (online vs offline). This study was conducted in Indonesia during early 2022, transitioning from online learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic to normal-offline learning. A total of 404 university students participated in this study. Most participants (74.2%) reported they cheated more frequently in online than in offline learning. The independent sample t-test indicated that students in the online learning group showed higher academic dishonesty than students in the offline learning group. Latent regression analysis showed that amotivation, hypercompetitive orientation, and learning mode are significant predictors of academic dishonesty. These findings imply that transitioning from offline to online learning during the pandemic negatively affected academic integrity.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have the potential to enhance teaching and learning and influence the development of students’ digital competencies. However, harnessing the potential of ICT in a way that contributes to positive student outcomes poses a challenge for many teachers. The question arises as to whether providing adequate ICT infrastructure in schools facilitates access and, therefore, the use of ICT in teaching. Additionally, it is significant to examine the role of teachers’ knowledge and beliefs in this context. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between teachers’ perception of ICT infrastructure in schools, ICT self-efficacy, and ICT integration. The study involved 590 teachers from primary and secondary schools in Serbia. By conducting multiple regression analysis, significant effects of teachers’ ICT self-efficacy and perception of available ICT equipment in schools on the use of ICT in teaching activities were obtained. ICT self-efficacy explains the criterion variable to a greater extent. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research and practice.

This study explores the issue of the preparedness of educators to realize the contents of the PPP (Preschool Preparatory Program) from the point of view of digitalization and informatization of the society The authors are in favour of the implementation of modern educational technology in the process of educating preschool children with the aim of improving the quality of educational work. By this we primarily mean the use of computers and didactic programs in kindergartens which are seen as institutions which carry out a systematic and planned education of preschool children. With this objective have the results of the research of the degree to which the educators are prepared to use computer in the process of realization of the contents of the Preparatory preschool program been presented. The results show that educators are interested in implementing ICT (Information and Communication Technology) within the process of educating preschool children who live and grow up in an era of Information Technology. The use of computers can surely help in the process of realization of the contents of the Preparatory Preschool Program; however, the truth is that they are not properly trained and qualified to do so, or to be more precise, they do not possess adequate pedagogical and methodological competence to be able to implement modern Information Technologies in their work with preschool children.

Success in any type of activity depends on thorough preparation. Processing of new teaching facilities, or the acquisition of new knowledge in the whole course of the educational process is one of the most important prerequisites for success in the implementation of the tasks of teaching. When it comes to this problem, the analysis of available peda-gogical - psychological and didactic and methodical literature, indicates that it mainly discuss the preparation of teachers, which is certainly needed. However, the implementation of teaching together and actively participating teachers and students, and the modern conception of school based on the students'' activities. The above observations lead us to the conclusion that preparing students for teaching is equally important as the preparation of teachers, although it is somewhat more specific, given their status in the classroom.

Music and language are means of human communication, whose common medium is the sound occurring in a unit of time. Numerous relevant studies show that the constant implementation of various forms of musical activities influence the development of a child’s speech and motivates the development of pre-reading skills. A survey formed for the purpose of the study explored the positions of the students of the part-time studies of Early and Pre-school Education on the use of musical, creative musical, and multi-modal activities in their immediate methodical practice, as well as their possible impact on children’s speech development. The results of the study show that the participants believe that the development of a child’s speech is most influenced by musical activities containing multiple verbal elements (children’s singing games, songs and counting rhymes) which are more frequently carried out in practice. Although the participants believe that the activities of rhythmical speech and creating a text to an existing melody influence the development of a child’s speech the most, it is more common in practice to conduct creative musical activities, such as listening to music while dancing and/or painting, as well as those activities related to sound sensitivity, which may be due to the competences of the participants in the listed areas. The respondents who believe that multi-modal activities contribute to the development of a child’s speech, often carry them out more frequently in their methodical practice. The results of the study represent a significant contribution to the further improvement of educational practices.

This study investigates preservice teachers’ knowledge of elements and rationale for Nature of Science (NOS). Skill gap is established in the literature on pedagogical practices of preservice as well as novice teachers of science, reflecting deficiency in their professional training and eventual classroom practice. Examining preservice teachers’ knowledge in these aspects (elements & rationale) of NOS through a quasi-experiment of one-group pretest and post-test design was done. Instructional intervention over two years along with assignments and presentation with researchers as moderators on the science pedagogy module (History of Science and Philosophy of Science) serves as stimuli over the period. Three research questions and two hypotheses were raised to guide this study. One hundred and thirty-six (112 Life Science and 24 Physical Science) preservice teachers were the participants. Element of NOS (ENOS) and Rationale for NOS (RNOS) were the instruments. Reliability of the instruments yielded Cronbach alpha values of .83, .91 and .86 across dimensions of clarity, coherence and relevance by fifteen experienced science educators. Data was analysed using t-test and ANCOVA. The study found the intervention to effectively improve the knowledge of elements and rationale for NOS. Better prepared teachers (More Knowledge Order [MKO] have the potential to improved Zone of Proximal Development [ZPD] in learners) by implication have the competence to guide learners for qualitative and effective learning. The instruments in this study is recommended for foundational training of preservice teachers on NOS for enhanced instruction.

Teacher research activity is an important complex part of their work. Therefore, alongside with the other, their important professional competences, teacher research activity competence becomes a significant one. Teacher’s activity space has widened a lot. Carrying out various research, the teacher uses the obtained information firstly for their activity improvement. It is obvious that there is a lack of reliable research on this question. A deep gap exists between educational research and educational practice. This research aimed to ascertain primary school teachers’ position on educational research question. The research was carried out in 2019, in which 106 primary school teachers from various Lithuanian schools took part. A two-part research instrument was applied, which consisted of open-ended and closed-ended questions. A descriptive qualitative and quantitative content analysis was carried out. Though most of the teachers thought that educational research was important for their practical activity, however, the biggest gap between educational research and educational practice is most frequently determined by the lack of teacher competence in this sphere. There exists an obvious teacher support need as well as teacher professional development needs in the aspect of research availability/accessibility and its use in educational practice.
