Analiza slovenske terminologije glazbenih oblika

The article presents the results of the analysis of the use of basic Slovenian music terms used in writing about musical structure. Since this terminology includes a large number of terms, we have decided to limit the analysis of basic terms to the following ones: tone, note, motif, figure, melody and musical form. For the purposes of research, we have created a one-language corpus on www.sketchengine.co.uk, which contains graduate, masters‘ and doctoral theses dealing with music analysis and several textbooks dealing with musical forms. Such a modern corpus approach makes it easier to search terms and their meanings, which ultimately leads to interesting results on how to use certain terms.Članak predstavlja rezultate analize upotrebe slovenske glazbene terminologije koja se koristi u pisanju o glazbenim oblicima. Budući da ova terminologija obuhvaća popriličan broj termina, odlučili smo se ograničiti na analizu sljedećih termina: melodija, ton, nota, oblik, figura i motiv. Za potrebe istraživanja na stranicama www.sketchengine. co.uk stvorili smo jednojezični korpus koji sadržava diplomske, magistarske i doktorske radove koji se bave glazbenom analizom te nekoliko udžbenika koji se bave glazbenim oblicima. Takav, suvremeni korpusni pristup, omogućio je lakše pretraživanje izraza i njihovih značenja, što nas je u konačnici dovelo do zanimljivih rezultata o načinu upotrebe pojedinih termina

Teachers’ Mental Health: The Relevance of Emotional Intelligence in Burnout and Quality of Life

Increasing emotional labour demands in the educational profession have negatively impacted teacher’s mental health resulting in high levels of stress, burnout, and subsequently leaving the profession altogether. The desire to improve the mental health well-being and retention rates in educators has given rise to research efforts examining individual factors that may assist in buffering the effects of an adverse occupational environment. Of particular research interest were the potential effects of self-perceived competence in emotional intelligence and individuals’ appraisal of their quality of life, on coping with occupational stressors. The current research was designed as a correlational descriptive field study to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence, quality of life, and experiences of burnout symptoms. Strong negative associations were observed between emotional intelligence and burnout as well as between quality of life and burnout. Positive appraisal of psychological health was found to be inversely related to burnout symptoms. These results indicate that it may be of benefit to consider directing professional development resources toward increasing emotional intelligence

An Examination of Emotional Intelligence as a Potential Mediator in Educator Stress and Burnout

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between teacher burnout, emotional intelligence, attitudes towards seeking professional help, and perceptions of psychological safety within schools. Findings from this study of 600 Canadian educational professionals suggest that emotional intelligence and perceptions of psychological safety were significant predictors of teacher burnout, while attitudes towards seeking professional help were not. Teaching level, employment status (e.g., part-time versus full-time), and gender were also explored in relation to burnout. Findings suggested that full-time status significantly impacted levels of burnout, while teaching level and gender did not. The potential preventative impact of interventions focusing on emotional intelligence and psychological workplace safety was discussed. Recommendations for future research were suggested
