Sažetak

The main goal of this research was to study the degree of
changes and innovations in the elementary school in Kosovo. These changes and innovations began as a result of a number of seminars and conferences held by foreign trainers and instructors for teachers of class and subject-based teaching. The seminars held by foreign trainers for teachers of class and subject-based teaching are viewed as an independent variable, while the progress in the pupils’ success and changes in their behaviour are viewed as a dependent variable.
The survey comprised 5 class teachers and 5 subject teachers from each of the 7 elementary schools (5 in towns and 2 in villages) who were trained at seminars, which means a total of 35 class teachers and 35 subject teachers (N=70).
A questionnaire was used to study the changes and innovations concerning the internal organisation of teaching and learning, and an interview to become better acquainted with the respondents. Systematic observation was also organised during two lessons with each of two class teachers and two teachers of Albanian.
The results show that some class teachers and some subject teachers use foreign technical terms as a pure fad, in some cases not even knowing their meaning or use. Most respondents admitted that these didactical concepts were not clear to them. In addition, the results of the analysis of contents in applying the didactical strategy of “summarising and taking notes” in the 6th form showed that
performance was very poor, which indicates that there are no signifi cant changes in the internal organisation of teaching with trained class teachers and subject teachers. It is a positive development that class teachers and subject teachers have become aware of a different approach to teaching in western countries, where
teaching is focused on the pupils, and that pupils must have more freedom in terms of their behaviour, in other words, that they must be more active in class.
