THE ROLE OF PARENTS IN SUPPORTING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN DIGITAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS
(Faculty of Philosophy, Skopje, 2025-12-26)
Ikonomoska Nechakovska, Angela
;
This paper examines the role of parents in supporting student engagement in digital learning environments. It analyzes how parental involvement, digital competence, and home–school communication influence students’ behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement in online and hybrid learning. The study highlights thatparents increasingly serve as facilitators of technology use, mediators between teachers and students, and organizers of the home learning environment. Their ability to provide technological guidance, structure daily learning routines, and offer emotional and motivational support significantly enhances students’ participation, focus, and learning outcomes in digital settings. Insights from contemporary research and experiences in North Macedonia indicate that parental involvement has become a crucial component of effective digital education. The paper emphasizes the need for educational institutions to strengthen collaboration with families and develop strategies that empower parents to engage confidently and effectively in their children’s digital learning.

Life of the persons with disabilities in the republic of n. Macedonia - challenges they face from birth to old age
(State University of Tetovo, 2023)
The theoretical framework for studying the life course of persons with disabilities through the prism of the social model is characterized by two basic approaches. On the one hand, we can conceptualize the life course in terms of individual biographies and unique life experiences. On the other hand, we can imagine the life course more generally, as a kind of generation system that functions on the macro level in societies, based on the common cultural rules and structural boundaries that define what a "normal life" should be. In this sense, the life course approach helps us understand how societies organize life transitions in an institutionalized or structured way. From the perspective of a social model, the value of this approach lies in the possibility of determining the existing challenges and barriers to determine the different impacts of disabling barriers and social meanings attributed to disability in different generational periods: childhood, youth, adulthood, and old age. The main goal of this study was to determine the most frequent challenges and obstacles faced by persons with disabilities and their families in their everyday lives in the Republic of North Macedonia. The research is analytical, retrospective, and qualitative, correlating the situation in our country with countries around the world through the analysis of documentation: strategic and political documents, laws, scientific research, and project activities. Although efforts have been made in the Republic of North Macedonia for decades to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities, the number of barriers they face from birth to old age is large in every domain. Collective work and cooperation among individuals are fundamental to the establishment of interpersonal relations and bonds, the creation and functioning of organizations, and the development of society.

Application of occupational therapy in children with disabilities
(Akademija za humani razvoj, Beograd, Republika Srbija, 2024-11-28)
Occupational therapy is a specific discipline within the broader spectrum of special education and rehabilitation services. Although there may be some overlap in populations served and therapeutic approaches, each, occupational therapy and special education and rehabilitation, play a crucial role in supporting individuals with disabilities to lead more fulfilling lives. Occupational therapy for children with disabilities is based on an understanding of the interaction between children, their activities and the environment, and therefore, when assessing abilities, the starting point is to see whether limitations are the result of external barriers and limitations or are primarily related to developmental ability and functional status. The growth of a child into an adult person involves continuous adaptation to the demands set by the environment and assimilation of opportunities, and this dynamic interaction is even more complex in children born with a risk factor or a certain type of disability. So occupational therapy can be a huge benefit for children with disabilities, as an effective way to help these kids perform meaningful activities and enrich their lives. This study employs a systematic literature review methodology to explore the application of occupational therapy (OT) in children with special needs. A systematic approach ensures a comprehensive and unbiased synthesis of existing literature to identify key themes, interventions, and effectiveness in pediatric occupational therapy. Occupational therapy (OT) plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life for children with special needs by enhancing their independence, functional abilities, and overall well-being. Through individualized interventions, OT helps children develop essential motor, cognitive, sensory and social skills, enabling them to participate in daily activities at home, school and in the community.

Common Causes of Visual Impairment in Children: Literature View
(University of Tetova, 2025-09-22)
Tateshi, Ermira
;
Objective: This review aims to identify and analyze the most prevalent causes of vision impairment in children, focusing on the prevalence of each condition and recommended strategies for prevention and early intervention to mitigate developmental impacts. Methodology: A PRISMA-based systematic review was conducted, analyzing data from eight studies published over the last 10 years. The review involved searches in databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, using the search algorithm (“low vision” OR “visual impairment”) AND cause AND child. Results: Refractive errors were the most common cause of visual impairment in children, accounting for 38.6% to 86.6% of cases. The second most prevalent cause was congenital cataracts, contributing to 39.1% of cases. Other region-specific causes included albinism and neonatal conditions, as well as cortical visual impairment and retinopathy of prematurity. Conclusion: The literature indicates that refractive errors and cataracts are the leading causes of childhood visual impairment, with distinct regional differences underscoring the need for both universal and targeted strategies, including regular screenings, public health education, and enhanced access to treatment.

Presbyopia: Difference in Quality of Life According to Gender and Education
(University of Tetova, 2024-09-11)

Presbyopia develops gradually, affecting the eye's ability to focus on nearby objects. In general, visual impairments can reduce an individual's quality of life by limiting learning opportunities and independence. This study aims to gather empirical evidence on how quality of life varies among people with presbyopia, taking into account factors such as gender and level of education. Seventy-eight adults completed the National Eye Institute 39-Question Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-39). Analysis based on gender shows that in most aspects the differences between male and female respondents are not statistically significant. However, an exception was found in the subscale measuring dependence on help from others, which showed a significant difference (p<0.05). Specifically, in this sample, men with presbyopia perceived their quality of life as significantly lower in terms of independence in daily life. Using the ANOVA test, it was determined that the level of education of the respondents significantly affects their responses to five subscales: general health (F=5.265, df=2, p<0.007), distance activities (F=7.025, df=2, p<0.002), social functioning (F=4.011, df=2, p<0.05), role difficulties (F=3.131, df=2, p <0.05), and dependency (F=5.029, df=2, p<0.009). In conclusion, our research showed that the gender of presbyopic patients is not correlated with quality of life, while the level of education significantly affects different aspects of their quality of life.
