Inclusion in preschool institutions significantly impacts the socialization and development of children with developmental difficulties, allowing them to participate in everyday activities. For its successful and functional implementation, collaboration and partnership among parents, preschool teachers, and specialists, as well as the involvement of individual assistants for better support, are essential. If educators/teachers are not sufficiently trained to work with children who have some kind of developmental disability, it hinders the implementation of activities. Integration is achieved by establishing developmental groups, which fosters the desire for parents to accept that their child has developmental difficulties. Acceptance influences the quality of parental care and the child's development, while rejection and denial of difficulties prevent the child's progress. Establishing partnerships between preschool institutions, families, and other social factors improves and supports inclusive practices. The partnership must be based on respect and the active involvement of parents, who play a crucial role in the development of their children. All children, including those with difficulties, deserve equal opportunities for progress and socialization.
Leadership is becoming more recognized as a key issue for companies facing change in a complex and evolving environment. This leads to the need to understand the extensive literature on leadership. However, it is notable that the literature is primarily focused on effective leadership, ignoring the dark side of it. However, research in the field of change has shown that such toxic forms of leadership negatively affect the capacity of organizations to adapt to change. If traits associated with narcissism are also associated with ineffective leadership, the real question is why are narcissistic personalities often found in leadership positions? One possibility is that narcissists have skills and traits that are necessary for emerging leaders, but are not necessarily useful for effective leadership. In other words, narcissism might predict leader emergence, but not necessarily their effectiveness. This paper is an attempt to systematize previous theoretical and practical findings in the field of narcissism and leadership, as well as their mutual connection.
The aim of this study is to create a course made of unstructured materials in nature for the physical activity of preschool children. A total of 62 children (32 girls and 30 boys) from the preschool program at the "Kolibri" PU "Radost" preschool institution in Vrnjačka Banja participated in this project. The process consisted of several phases: selecting a location for the course; acquiring unstructured materials for the activity; designing templates and planning the course layout; building the course; and opening the course, which included guiding the children through the unstructured material course and explaining the tasks; monitoring included assessing the children's interest in the course, and evaluation involved summarizing the results.
The aim of the research is to determine the attitudes of teachers in Serbia toward the use of artificial intelligence in education, to assess their level of competence, the frequency and manner of AI tool usage, as well as to identify the key challenges that limit the effective integration of AI into teaching and administrative tasks. To this end, a quantitative study was conducted. The sample consisted of 74 teachers working in primary, secondary and higher education institutions and universities in the Republic of Serbia. The research findings indicate that teachers recognise the benefits that artificial intelligence can bring to the educational process, but also face numerous challenges in its implementation. Key barriers include a lack of adequate training, technological infrastructure and institutional support, as well as the need to address ethical concerns and technical challenges.
The paper analyzes the strategy of popularizing art music through the work and artistic approach of the Dutch violinist and conductor Andre Riou, with special reference to his "Johann Strauss" orchestra. The starting point is Riu's rich musical biography and education, which shaped his artistic sensibility and clearly directed his career towards the reinterpretation and modern presentation of classical music, especially the works of Johann Strauss. The founding of the "Johann Strauss" orchestra represented a turning point in the promotion of classical music to a wider audience. Riu combined high technical precision with elements of stage spectacle, audience interaction and popular culture, resulting in the creation of a new model of the concert experience. Through conceptually shaped performances, visual effects and thematic programs, the orchestra broke the traditional barriers of the perception of elitism in classical music. The theoretical framework of the work is based on the blue ocean strategy, through which the way in which Riu redefined the classical music market was analyzed. The orchestra successfully applied the principles of value innovation: it eliminated rigid forms, reduced the academic distance, raised the level of emotional engagement and created a completely new experience of classical music. The conclusion of the work confirms that the "Johann Strauss" orchestra, under the artistic leadership of Andrea Riou, formed a new paradigm of approach to classical music - one that does not compromise with artistic quality, but successfully communicates with a wider and more diverse audience on a global level.
