Vokiečių-lietuvių kalbų žodžių laukų lyginimas ir jo reikšmė užsienio kalbų dėstymui

Vienas iš komunikatyvinio kalbų mokymosi tikslų yra sąmoningas kalbos priemonių pasirinkimas ir jų panaudojimas kalbinėje valdoje. Svarbiausia šiame procese yra darbas su žodynu. Kiekvienos kalbos leksikinė sistema yra daugiasluoksnė ir daugiareikšmė. Tai ypač apsunkina naujų žodžių mokymąsi ir jų diferencijuotą panaudojimą komunikatyvinėje veikloje.Šiame straipsnyje nagrinėjamos žodžių laukų - veiksmažodžių “valgyti” bei “gaminti” - vokiečių ir lietuvių kalbose palyginimo galimybės bei šių laukų didaktiniai aspektai sisteminant žodyną ir tuo palengvinant jo sąmoningą įsisavinimą

Attitudes of 7-12th grade students of secondary and specialized music and arts schools toward the evaluation in physical education

According to the Lithuanian General Education Plans for Secondary and High School Programs (2009), students in Physical Education (PE) lessons can be assessed by a mark or using “Pass / Fail” system, depending on the decision of the school community. In our previous study we found that students of secondary schools are satisfied with the existing evaluation mode in PE classes, and that in their opinion, evaluation does not have a significant impact on physical activity during their leisure time, but students who were assessed by a mark, as opposed to students who were assessed by “Pass / Fail” system, indicate that evaluation encourage them to be physically active during PE lessons. It is interesting to find out, what opinion dominates among students of specialized music and art schools. Performing artists are professionals, bodies of whom are being overused by different ergonomic positions that may lead to musculoskeletal problems. Artists’ health disorders are individual, in the treatment of which, physical activity plays a crucial role and is more important than most people think: for example, playing a musical instrument requires both physical and mental skills, and very often these health disorders are caused by long-term professional loads, therefore the exercises for strength, endurance and flexibility development are especially important for musicians.

Physical activity of secondary and performing arts high school students in relation to physical education assessment

The aim of this study was to assess whether the way of evaluation in Physical Education (PE) classes (i.e. by a mark or being credited as ‘pass’ or ‘fail’) is associated with physical activity (PA) of high school students, and whether there are differences if students are of secondary or performing arts high school. The study involved 486 students of 9–12th grades from three secondary and three performing arts high schools in one of the biggest cities of Lithuania. Analyzing secondary high school students’ PA, estimated by modified International PA Questionnaire, in relation to assessment system in PE, statistically significant (p<0.01) differences were found only in vigorous PA (VPA), i.e. students, who are assessed by marks in PE, are involved in VPA more frequently than those who are being rated ‘pass’ or ‘fail’. A reverse situation was observed in performing arts high school students: more students, who are being rated ‘pass’ or ‘fail’ in PE, are involved in vigorous and moderate PA more frequently comparing to students who are assessed by a mark. We may conclude that the assessment mode in PE classes may influence PA of schoolchildren, but differently for secondary and performing arts high school students
