Primary school teachers use a variety of visual materials in their teaching. In the technical field, it is often the diagrams, designs, and other types of illustrations the teachers accompany their instruction or facilitate practical work of their pupils with. Of course, primary school teacher trainees get acquainted with such materials in the higher education study process as well as within the school study placements. As the materials are intended to express a sequence of production steps, they are often drawn in series where the individual images are phased. Such arrangement is generally accepted as understandable and with greater potential to guide...

It would seem like the First Nations children on the spectrum would have similar life situations, but results show diverse barriers and opportunities for them to participate and influence their lives. Living on or off reserve is one aspect. Music plays...

The article draws on qualitative research into Roma students’ segregation in Czech elementary schools, aiming to identify good practice leading to desegregation. The interviews were conducted with six educational experts and with teaching staff from eight elementary...
