Results and diagrams from Students, parents' and teachers' surveys - Macedonia





Results from the students’ survey

All of the students said that they were planning their learning in advance and that they take care about the places and conditions when they learn. Most of them revise the material on time, don not learn by heart but try to remember the material in their own way. They sometimes use different methods of learning (for example: repeating the material, listening music while learning, using other resources, trying to understand the material, underlining the most important information)  and they emphasize and put signs on the material they learn. Majority of the students sometimes make notes of the most important information that they learn. They sometimes leave time to repeat the material. They always try to understand what they learn and they say that in their own words. Most of the students ask for help when they need it. The first person they ask for help is their  teacher and sometimes it is their parents or their classmates.
They sometimes use the internet or the dictionaries to find information.
When they prepare for a test first they learn what is the most important from the material. Then they revise the material they have learnt, make notes or do the exercises in the books connected with the test and revise the most important information before the beginning of the test.     


Results from the parents’ survey

Most of the parents help their children when they learn but some of them leave the children first to try to learn the material by themselves and if it is really necessary then they help them.
They motivate the children by explaining them the importance of being educated.
The react well to the good grade and try to explain their children that the bad grade is something they should work on more. They talk to their children so that they can learn more and get better grades.
The majority of the parents say that the best method is learning the new things immediately and revising the old things regularly. 

Results from the teachers’ survey

Teachers find the active learning in pairs or in groups the most efficient method of learning. They say that the children like making projects, singing songs, playing games, doing puzzles and quizzes the most.
The majority of the teachers explain to their student the different types of learning to help them learn more (for example: revising regularly, learning together)
They use the following techniques to activate the student in classes:
Interactive learning, competitions, working in groups with changing the role of the leader.
They use different methods this year (for example: ICT, active learning, brain friendly learning).
