The Slovene language has several roles in the educational process in the Republic of Slovenia, including its role as a subject in the curriculum in its own right. It is a basic general education ...subject in public primary schools and has the most hours of all of the subjects. All teachers were forced to teach remotely for the first time in the history of education (first during the 2019/20 school year and then in the 2020/21 school year) during the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. The results of a survey comprising 348 teachers with the ability to teach the mother tongue at primary school level (grades 1–9 of primary school; 59% were class curriculum teachers and 41% were Slovene language teachers) show, among other things, that teachers mostly have a good attitude towards distance teaching and feel empowered for this type of teaching, although they feel that this method makes them mentally and physically more tired than teaching in the classroom. Among the advantages of distance teaching, teachers mention the greater use of modern information and communication technology, more use of e-material and the opportunity for formal monitoring of students. In their opinion, the biggest problems of distance teaching (of the Slovene language) include: lack of student participation; lack of non-verbal communication, thus creating difficulties in understanding; and technical issues. Most teachers believe that students acquire less knowledge or far less knowledge by distance education than they would from education in the classroom. Teachers who feel more empowered to teach remotely also have a better attitude towards teaching their mother tongue and are more satisfied with the communication aspect with students in distant teaching. Teachers who have received the necessary training for distance teaching as part of their work feel more empowered to teach this way than teachers who have not had such training.

Temelj sodobnega načrtovanja pouka književnosti predstavlja t. i. komunikacijski pouk. V prispevku izhajamo iz predpostavke, da interpretativno branje učitelja predstavlja središčno vlogo v ...priporočenem modelu šolske interpretacije umetnostnega besedila za razvijanje bralne zmožnosti učencev. Preučili smo poglede učiteljev razrednega pouka in učiteljev slovenščine na interpretativno branje. V raziskavi, v kateri je sodelovalo 110 učiteljev, se je med drugim pokazalo, da se večini zdi ustrezno interpretativno branje v razredu zelo pomembno, znanje pa bi morali, sodeč po izsledkih raziskave, še nadgraditi. Med učitelji razrednega pouka in učitelji slovenščine ni razlik glede znanja o interpretativnem branju.
Kindergarten educators represent the first contact of children with the institutional environment. In this article we assume that kindergarten educators have a significant impact on children's ...perception of their first/mother tongue and their language development. Language is one of the core kindergarten curriculum areas in which the educator needs to be adequately empowered to set an example for the children, while at the same time developing their communicative competence which is the basis for (later) efficient communication. We carried out a questionnaire-based survey involving 236 students pursuing early childhood education in all three public universities in the Republic of Slovenia which prepares students for the role of kindergarten educators in order to study their perceptions of the language. The questionnaire-based survey was answered by students in their first and third years i.e., when starting and finishing their studies. A large majority of future kindergarten educators consider their positive attitude towards language in general to be extremely important for kindergarten children as language forms the basis for all other curriculum areas. Also, when surveyed, almost all future kindergarten educators considered it essential to be proficient in the language and to encourage language development in children by following their own example. Furthermore, they believe it is important to have a well-developed linguistic capability (language knowledge), to have the capability of crafting linguistically accurate written content and to master a suitable literary expression.
The basis for modern planning of literature teaching is communication teaching. In the present study, we assumed that interpretive reading by the teacher plays a central role in the recommended model ...of school interpretation of literary texts for the development of student reading ability. We investigated the views of elementary school teachers and Slovenian language teachers on interpretive reading. A survey of 110 teachers revealed, among other things, that most consider appropriate interpretive reading in the classroom to be very important and that knowledge about it should be further developed. There was no difference between elementary school teachers and Slovenian language teachers in terms of knowledge about interpretive reading.
Skupaj z Matično sekcijo geodetov pri Inženirski zbornici Slovenije (IZS MS-Geo) in Gospodarskim interesnim združenjem geodetskih izvajalcev (GIZ-GI) smo korektno sodelovali v strokovni skupini, ki ...je pripravljala vsebinske podlage novega zakona. V dialogu s strokovnimi združenji smo oblikovali operativne usmeritve za uslužbence Geodetske uprave Republike Slovenije, ki vodijo upravni del katastrskega postopka, da pri preizkusu zahtev upoštevajo specifičnosti obdobja uvajanja novosti v postopkih in podatkih in so temu ustrezno pozorni pri pregledu in pozivih za popravo oziroma dopolnitev elaboratov. Vsi postopki črpanja sredstev so bili transparentni in v skladu s predpisi, ki urejajo javno naročanje, ter tudi pod nenehnim nadzorom pristojnih služb v Republiki Sloveniji in pri Evropski komisiji. V fazi načrtovanja so bile izdelane vse študije in ekonomske analize, zahtevane s predpisi, ki opredeljujejo finančno poslovanje državnih organov.
