Title: The need for specialist training in the education of deaf children in Greece : listening to teachers' perceptions Authors: Nikolaraizi, Magda Abstract: In view of the ongoing discussion concerning teacher training requirements, this study explores the views concerning the role of teacher training of those teachers who are involved in the education of deaf children in Greece. These views were elicited through in-depth, open-ended interviews, and the data generated were analysed using grounded theorising. Teachers indicated that they were being asked to respond to the needs of deaf children without having the relevant background knowledge or the initial or in-service training needed to enable them to be adequately prepared for such a responsibility. They described their job as difficult, explained that they felt insecure and unsupported, and that they doubted whether they could achieve communication with deaf children. Their comments served as a basis for an insight into teachers' perceptions and a broader understanding of their needs. The latter included an emphasis on adequate initial and in-service training, as well as on the constant provision of relevant information and support, all of which would enable the teacher to become a more effective educator of a deaf child.

Title: Education students' attitudes toward gender roles Authors: Togrol, Aysentur Yontar; Onur, Atiye Abstract: The focus of this study is to examine candidate teachers' and school counsellors' attitudes towards gender roles and to see if the variables like gender, years spent at the Faculty of Education (or grade level), and the area of study within the Faculty of Education have any impact on their attitudes toward gender roles. A total of 562 subjects participated in the sample of the study. The data were collected by administering a questionnaire which measures attitudes toward gender roles. The study has three independent variables - gender, area of study, and grade level. The data were analysed by using one-way ANOVA, Sheffe test and t-test. It was found that, according to the gender and the area of study, students present differences in their attitudes towards gender roles, but there was no significant difference between different grade levels.

Title: Distance education in Slovenia : a case study of innovation Authors: Margerita, Zagmajster; Bregar, Lea Abstract: In Slovenia, the development of modern open/distance education started at the beginning of the nineties at a traditional university having considerable experience in the delivery of part-time study courses. The initiative of developing a distance education programme were carried out within the framework of the PHARE Programmefor Multi-country Co-operation in Distance Education, in which 11 Central and East European beneficiary countries were involved. The Faculty of Economics of the University of Ljubljana was selected as a pilot institution for Slovenia. The paper shows how the synergy created through the combination of existing domestic resources as well as the local social and educational environment with outside expertise served to bring about a self-sustainable distance education programme and to improve the quality of mass higher education services offered by a traditional university.
