AB  - Establishing good handwriting habits in the earliest grades is very important for the entire schooling. It affects school performance and promotes learning. In Serbia, pupils start learning Cyrillic letters in Grade 1, while the Serbian Latin alphabet is taught in the second term in Grade 2. When it comes to ELT, there is no official introduction to the English Roman alphabet and children are expected to acquire the new script from Grade 3 and use it efficiently. In this paper, we analysed the learning resources for English (student’s books and workbooks) used in Grades 1 and 2 to determine the type of writing activities given, whether they provide sufficient support to develop writing skills, and how they can be improved. Based on the results, recommendations are given to improve the teaching instruction.

AB  - The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 influenced all aspects of school life. Teaching and learning moved only online, with different software solutions emerging for teachers to make the most of them. These educational platforms provided more than just a traditional teaching which is focused on the transmission and access to information. Their added value is in a student-centred approach which promotes diverse competencies as regarded to be 21st century skills. This study focused on promoting 21st century digital skills using educational platforms in the times of COVID-19 during school lockdowns. It examined teachers’ responses about the extent to which this promotion was attained during their online teaching using these technologies. A sample of 667 schoolteachers from Serbia was used and relevant data were collected using an online questionnaire. The analysis showed there were significant differences between these medians of promotion of digital skills for different groups of teachers favouring certain groups. These differences could be explained by the fact that teachers in those favoured groups were more experienced in using educational platforms and arranged teamwork within them more often. Additional analysis showed that experience and teamwork were related and that they jointly contributed to digital skills promotion. Suggestions for practice and research are included.

AB  - To prepare students to cope successfully with increasingly complex life and work
environments based upon the extensive application of information-communication technology
(ICT), today’s education should focus on cultivating 21st century digital skills. To assess the
extent to which these ICT-based skills have been attained, an appropriate scale with good
psychometric properties needs to be applied. By using a sample of 667 teachers from about
200 secondary schools across Serbia, this study examined the psychometric properties of a 21st
century digital skills scale. These properties dealt with representativity, reliability,
homogeneity, and validity. The examination showed that this scale was of a good quality for
each of these properties. Suggestions for further research are included.

What Kind of E-assessment Feedback Is Important to Students? An Empirical Study

AB  - E-assessment needs to provide detailed feedback that students would use. To this end, the content of feedback should include assessment information that is important to students. By using a convenient sample of twenty second-year undergraduate students, this study explored the extent to which different kinds of assessment feedback were important to students. Therefore, an online questionnaire was administered which, apart from asking values of some background variables including academic achievement, listed a number of different feedback techniques supporting activities applied in deep and strategic approaches to learning and studying. For each technique, students had to indicate the extent of the importance they assigned to it. It was found that: (1) although feedback techniques supporting a deep approach were as important to students as those supporting a strategic approach, the importance of the former was positively related to that of the latter; (2) feedback techniques supporting a deep approach were more important to females than males; (3) when the importance of all these feedback techniques together was considered in a specific way, their relevance to an increase in students’ knowledge, skills and motivation could be demonstrated. Although this study used a small sample that might characterise it as preliminary research, it revealed valuable findings, which due to their considerable effect size, make the sample size less questionable. Suggestions for further research are included.

AB  - An answer to an item in a questionnaire may provide a cognitive anchor that limits respondent’s adjusting to
answer the next questionnaire item. This paper examines the issues of anchoring and adjusting in response to a
questionnaire about the importance of listed e-feedback techniques. Two measures of anchoring and adjusting were
applied, which revealed not only whether more anchoring and less adjusting were present, but also which respondents
might apply more anchoring and less adjusting in their responses. Addressing these questions, especially when responses
to two sets of items are similar overall, may be an important step in completing an appropriate discussion of
questionnaire-based findings.
