However, there are still few educators or institutions using this method, especially in primary and secondary education. We present the conclusions of a design-experiment using educational blogging as a flipped learning method. In accordance with conclusions of other researchers we argue for an institutional-wide approach of using flipped classroom methods for promoting flipped learning.

As part of a larger study, we used the Global Well-Being scale among Hungarian residents in the Szeklerland region 1 of Romania. The scale aims to measure the wellbeing experienced emotionally, psychologically, socially, and spiritually (Oláh-Kapitány-Fövény 2012). The study was conducted using an online questionnaire filled out by 1,117 persons aged from 16 to 89, from 286 settlements in Harghita, Covasna, and Mureş counties. The results show that the global welfare indicators have average or above average values among the respondents from Szeklerland. The emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being are above the cutoff score. The well-being of the young age group and that of women is higher. In rural regions, the spiritual well-being is also higher .

However, managing institutional brands used not to be a priority for educational institutes from this region. An important step of image management activities is investigating consumer expectations and measuring their satisfaction with the services offered. We present the results of a survey-based investigation regarding expectations of secondary school students about education, and their image about two main higher education institutes from Transylvania (Romania). A second survey addressed attitudes of undergraduate university students regarding educational services and the general image of the university they attend. By comparing the results of the two investigations we can observe differences regarding the positive and negative attitudes about an institute of the two groups. When potential customers (future students) does not have t...

We proposed to research the possibility of stimulating the use of reader's metacognitive strategies in reading by specifically designed writing instruction.

Általános iskolai negyedik osztályok tanulók számára készített fejlesztő programunk célkitűzése volt, hogy a matematika és az olvasás terén széles körben, speciális tanári felkészítés nélkül is használható feladatsorozatokat próbáljunk ki, amelyek alkalmasak a tanulói metakognitív stratégiák fejlesztésére. A fejlesztő kísérlet eredményesnek bizonyult, a kismértékű fejlesztő beavatkozás (minimal intervention) kategóriába tartozó fejlesztés szignifikáns teljesítmény-javulást hozott a kísérleti osztályokban, a kísérlet szempontjából releváns teszteken. Kutatásunk a metakogníció jelenségvilágának megismerése és gyakorlati alkalmazása mellett kutatásmódszertani szempontból jelentős hozadéka egy kevésváltozós, a kísérleti hatás empirikus meghatározását lehetővé tevő kísérlet megvalósítása. | In this research project we investigated the phenomeno...
