Dana Dobrovská

e-Pedagogium 2018, 18(4):7-15 | DOI: 10.5507/epd.2018.041  

Much of higher education stresses the elimination of emotions in exchange for cool, analytic detachment. The idealized picture of the impartial student who engages in logically precise reasoning is the traditional norm to which we wish our students to aspire. Students confronted with the average university teaching are often left baffled why anyone would devote his or her life to the study of such limp material.

That is why we should pay attention to the powerful affective impact that a live lecture can deliver.There is no doubt students like to...

Veronika Pečivová

e-Pedagogium 2018, 18(4):27-40 | DOI: 10.5507/epd.2018.043  

Although teacher responsibility is a rather frequently investigated topic, less attention has been paid to teacher personal perception of responsibility for pupil outcomes. This study presents results of a pilot quantitative questionnaire investigation of pre-service primary teachers at a Czech university with the aim to reveal teacher trainees' approach to their subjective responsibility for pupil success or failure. The preliminary findings suggest that pre-service teachers tend to assume a greater responsibility for pupil success than for his or her failure. Since the results of our quantitative questionnaire research do not provide a more complex...

Linda Chmelařová
