Introduction. The means and methods of computerized learning introduced into the education system in recent years are changing the attitude towards writing with a pen. Children are increasingly typing on a keyboard. This brings into focus research investigations aimed at identifying the possible influence of the above-mentioned type of educational activity on the indicators of psychomotor skills. The purpose of this research is to study accuracy and speed indicators of psychomotor coordination when working with hands in primary school students, depending on the amount of computer load (screen time). Materials and Methods. The study involved 4205 primary schoolchildren in grades 1-4 from 66 educational settings in Moscow (5 academic years, testing took place in October and March-April; all samples were independent). Indicators of psychomotor coordination (speed, accuracy, and smoothness of movements) when performing a motor test using "computer movement meter" (CMM) device were evaluated. The amount of lesson and out-of-school screen time was evaluated by teachers, relying on the hygiene standards: 0 points – no load, 1 point – compliance with hygiene standards, 2 points – twice exceeding the standards, 3 points – exceeding the standards by 3 or more times. Statistical data processing was performed using nonparametric criteria. Results. The research revealed the correlation between the total (lesson and out-of-school) screen time and indicators of psychomotor coordination in primary schoolchildren. The most obvious differences in psychomotor indices were found at the very beginning of school education – in October, in the 1st grade: in children with a minimum amount of computer load, the indicators of speed and accuracy were the worst. Speed indicators of psychomotor skills in groups of children (especially boys) with a high computer load have seasonal variability in the form of improvement by the end of the school year. Accurate indicators of psychomotor skills, on the contrary, with an increase in the amount of general computer load, lose variability and decrease. The smoothness of movements did not depend on the screen time. Conclusions. The identified changes in the psychomotor skills of primary school students who are active computer-users can be considered as a positive adaptive response in the form of developing new motor skills.

<span>Internationally, out-of-school time (OST) science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs abound. However, rigorous evidence of their impacts on student outcomes is scarce. This study evaluated the relationships between OST STEM program participation and student motivational factors in math and science by analyzing survey and administrative data of 1.017 middle school students who participated in the seven-week, STEM-focused Prefreshman Engineering Program (PREP) in San Antonio, Texas, from 2015 to 2017. Multiple regression results indicated that the PREP participation was positively associated with students’ attitudes toward math and interests in math-related careers, whereas the effects on students’ attitudes toward science and career interests in science were negligible. No evidence was found to suggest that the associations between PREP participation and student motivational factors in math and science differed by gender, race/ethnicity, or socioeconomic status.</span>

This paper is a determination of use of digital technology for instructional purposes in out of school environment. The paper specifically explores the awareness of primary school pupils on the significance of using computers, access to computers and the ability to use computers. A total of 458 pupils were selected from 9 primary schools in three (3) divisions of Meru District in Arusha Region. The findings of the study shows that only 18.8% of pupils were aware of the usefulness of computers, while even smaller percentage of pupils (9.6%) had computers at home. On the other hand, only 16.6% of pupils could use computers. On the basis of the findings, it could be inferred that although some pupils are aware that computers can potentially facilitate learning, they are not adequately available at home, while also quite few pupils can use them. On the basis of these observations; the government, school administrators and other stakeholders in education should work together to raise pupils’ awareness of the usefulness of computers, along with making computers available and enabling pupils to make use of them to improve learning both in regular classroom and out of school time. At the bottom line, studies that are geared towards exploring the robust approaches which not only can raise pupils’ awareness but can more importantly make families see the importance of availing computers to their school children while at the same time encouraging pupils to use computers to improve their learning at school and out of school time are inevitable.

A decline in adolescents’ moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and the increase in their sedentary behavior (SB) have been registered all over the world. In order to increase the MVPA and reduce the SB of adolescents, their day has been analyzed by segments of time, verifying the contribution of each to the daily recommendation of 60 minutes/day. Previous studies have been centered only in physical activity markers, but the SB variables were not compared nor the segments of the school-recess with the out-of-school period or with the weekend. This study aimed to examine the intra- and inter-days differences in the objectively measured levels of PA and SB in adolescents. A sample of 156 Chilean school students (87 boys and 69 girls; M age=13.41; SD=.67 years) participated in the present study. Participants’ PA and SB were objectively measured by a GT3X accelerometer. Overall results showed that only 14% and 9% of Chilean adolescents achieved the daily recommendation of 60 minutes of MVPA on weekdays and the weekend, respectively. School recess was found the best moment for developing MVPA, followed by out-of-school time, and ending with weekend days presenting the worst scenario. Regarding the SB, Chilean adolescents were involved in SB 69.39% of the time on weekdays, and over 70% during the weekend. Different strategies are discussed in order to increase the MVPA and to decrease SB in each segment of a day.

In addition to school and family, out-of-school time context can provide important opportunities in the development of children and adolescents. In order to examine the students' use of out-of-school time better, activity diversity, intensity, and profiles should be studied. The aim of this study is to identify different time use profiles among high school students through person-centered cluster analysis as well as variable-centered descriptive statistics. A total of 180 students, 93 female and 87 male, from the tenth and eleventh grades of a public high school in İstanbul participated in the study. A personal information form and a time use questionnaire prepared by the researcher were administered to the students. According to average time use, the first three activities with the highest values in weekly total time were (1) using internet or social media, (2) studying, and (3) watching television. The time that students devote to the activities was related to the day of the week, gender, grade level, academic achievement, and family income. Three different profiles emerged as a result of time use of the students and these profiles differed in terms of gender, grade level, and academic achievement. The results indicate the need for a closer and in-depth examination and evaluation of the out-of-school time context, which plays an important role in the development of students.

The aim of this study was to explore the application of culturally responsive school leadership (CRSL) in an out of school time organization (OST). This was accomplished by analyzing how the actions of leaders both enabled and constrained CRSL. Research was conducted with Inspire Mentoring an OST organization that provides mentoring services to approximately 90-120 high school students of color from freshman through senior year. Approximately 60% of the mentors identify as people of color. The data collected for this qualitative case study occurred over 6 months and included: 6 semi-structured interviews with executive leaders and adult mentors, 5 observations of organizational meetings and community workshops, and reviewed documents from Inspire Mentoring. The leadership practices observed were analyzed using the behaviors of CRSL. This study suggest that positional OST leaders should become more connected to their community understanding longstanding inequities, interrogate their own worldviews, and work in tandem with minoritized youth and community members to address cultural youth development needs.
