Emotional Burnout

Practicing sports, as well as physical activity in general, contributes to a healthy lifestyle, helps to prevent numerous chronic diseases, and plays a therapeutic role in addressing a number of cognitive and psychological disorders (such as depression, distorted body image and self-perception, low self-esteem). As regards students, freshmen with higher physical capabilities can better adapt to new college environment, which in turn influences their well-being, psychological state and ability to study. The aim of our study was to detect the level of emotional burnout and individual psychological characteristics of the university students, engaged in amateur sports. It was shown that the group of amateur sportsmen demonstrated higher level of arousal and mobility of neural processes, and lower level of neuroticism, lower level of neurotization, anxiety, psychic tension and depression. This allows us to conclude that the type of nervous system may define the disposition towards the physical activity, and the strength of nervous system determines the ability to achieve success in sports. Our data indicate that practicing sports prevents development of burnout, reduces the negative impact of daily emotional stress, and provides a socially acceptable way to express aggression.

Myopia in schoolchildren is a serious problem. The frequency of its detection in the lower grades of the school is 68%, and by the end of school at least 2530%. In special school this indicator reaches 50%, which is associated with more intense and longer visual loads, prolonged work at the computer and more frequent use of other electronic storage media. The genesis and progression of myopia is largely due to the intensive educational process in which schoolchildren are involved already from the first year of study, as well as to the corresponding violations of the hygiene of their visual work at close range. The article presents the results of a retrospective analysis of case histories of 53 school-age children living in St. Petersburg. The role of socio-hygienic factors related to the schoolchildrens connected their family life (including material well-being) and the availability of modern technical means (computers, video game consoles, mobile phones, etc.) was studied. An analysis of external factors (deficient physical activity of the child, change of the daily regimen, later visit of the childs parents by an ophthalmologist), which have a negative impact on the development and progression of myopia in schoolchildren, was also relevant. Based on the results of the study, recommendations were developed for the observation and correction of myopia in schoolchildren.

Due to the wide reach of media reports about scientific research and technological tools such as the world wide web (WWW), the Internet, and web browsers, citizens today have access to factual information about the negative impact of artificial light at night (ALAN) on their dark skies, and their health and well-being. This means they can now make educated decisions and take the necessary steps to help protect themselves and their communities from disruptive light pollution. Whilst this action is positive and welcomed, unfortunately, according to collected data, not all such initiatives have been successful. Although our understanding of this groundswell movement is deepening, further studies are required to complete a worldwide picture of the current situation. This paper therefore investigates the various actions taken by citizens, as well as the challenges, methods, and tools involved, regarding good practices initiated by grass roots activism on how to reduce existing and potential light pollution. The results of a comparative analysis of 262 international case studies (lawsuits and online petitions) reveal that, since the 1990s, there has been an increase in the number of legal cases related to light pollution due to the rise in public awareness, the availability of scientific knowledge via the Internet, and the ability to take accurate lighting measurements and perform lighting simulations. Also, in the last decade a new tool for digital participation in the form of online petitions has established a new movement of citizen action to mitigate the effects of light pollution. Based on this information, a seven-step framework involving recommendations for citizen action has been developed. It is expected that this new knowledge will benefit those citizens planning future efforts involving the development, implementation, and monitoring processes of outdoor lighting. Additionally, it might support the evolution of planning and policy approaches that are sustainable and necessary to improve the application and installation of ecologically/biologically responsible illumination for towns, cities, and natural habitats.

Left-handed is a characteristic of individual typological features of a person. At the present stage of society, solving a number of psychological problems in the traditional educational process, it is important to investigate psychophysiological peculiarities and specificity of causes of the laterality pattern’s formation in junior schoolchildren. Children with a left-sided profile are not a homogeneous group. Among the causes of left-handedness are the following: heredity or genetic left-handedness (as an individual congenital characteristic), pathological or compensatory (as a result of the compensation mechanism), forced or acquired (as a result of injury to the right hand or retraining). Recent studies describe how left-handers differ greatly from right-handed schoolchildren in their mental development, world’s perception, prevailing thinking strategies and specificity of emotional-affective expression. The reasons for this are manifold. However, the key factor is the inextricable and intimate connection of the left-handedness and the hemispheric dominance that leads to a specific functional organization, of the brain work. This means that the left-handed brain works and complies by some other rules in comparison with right-handed people. As a result they have some educational peculiarities and difficulties. In most cases, these children have difficulties in mastering oral and written language skills, numeracy and mathematical operations. A characteristic feature of left-handers is the insufficient and specific development of visual perception, which normally creates the basis for mastering reading and writing. Unfortunately children with left handedness do not receive adequate assistance in school, since education and upbringing are focused on right handed people. It is also shown that «traditional» retraining in early childhood can lead to distress, which has a negative impact on the children. Therefore, it is necessary to include in the educational process special methods and techniques. Thus it will be a favorable condition for their harmonious personal and intellectual development and effective mastering of various modules of the school curriculum. This article presents a theoretical model analysis of the causes and consequences of the development of sinistrality, briefly considered the psychological characteristics of left-handed children.

Purpose of the study. In modern dynamic conditions, education should be directed to the future, have openness and redundancy in relation to the assigned pedagogical tasks, the existing educational students’ needs, the current state of society, economy, and labor market. Ensuring such a quality of education is impossible without Internet resources and information technology, without the organization of students’ online activity. The purpose of this article is to consider the variety of opportunities for students’ educational activities in the Internet, to present a typology of the risks of such activities, to suggest ways to overcome risks and ensure its effectiveness and safety. Materials and methods. The opportunities and risks of informationeducational activity are summarized based on the analysis of scientific papers and the results of an empirical study. In the process of study, we used methods of theoretical analysis and systematization, empirical survey and methods of descriptive mathematical statistics. Empirical study conducted on a sample of the first-year IT-students (N = 174) using the questionnaire method. Results. The variety of types of information-educational activities (educational-cognitive, search-cognitive, communicative-cognitive, informational-creative, entertaining-cognitive) and the advantages of online learning compared to classroom learning are presented. A typology of information-educational activity risks based on two grounds is given. According to object, the risks to student health, development and emotional well-being and the risks of loss of performance are identified. According to localization, external risks associated with the organization of the Internet and online educational activity (congestion of the information space, manipulative technologies in the supply of information, content risks, communication risks, cyber risks, inaccurate Internet content, poorquality educational and methodological support of the educational process, lack of feedback, technical and methodological support), and internal risks associated with the psychological and pedagogical students’ characteristics (instability of the worldview, internal prerequisites for exposure to content and communication risks, internal prerequisites for Internet addiction, aimless and unskillful activity in the Internet space, ineffective cognitive styles and critical thinking, lack of desire for self-development, the prevalence of external educational motives, difficulties of self-regulation, lack of volitional qualities, narrow interests, digital incompetence) are highlighted. Conclusion. Ways of overcoming risks and ensuring the effectiveness and safety of information-educational activity are proposed: 1) promotion lifelong education as a way of existence, development as a value, education as a significant capital; 2) creating excess information-educational environments and educational Internet resources (in relation to the pedagogical tasks and the modern students’ learning needs); 3) development of psychological stability, digital and educational students’ competence; 4) pedagogical management of students’ activities in the Internet (organization, support, control). The possibility of using technological solutions for students’ information-educational activities management is pointed out. At the same time, the important role of lecturers in this process is emphasized.

Analyzing scientific research, we found the problem of little knowledge of the nature and elements of emotional intelligence of children of primary school age, the directions of its formation. The authors want to reveal the ways of solving this problem, which is complex, contradictory and at the same time relevant and in demand in modern psychological and pedagogical science, more widely in their article. They associate the presence of emotional intelligence of a person with various habits, work, happy moments in life, etc. The less attention a person pays to the development of their own emotional intelligence, the more time he/she will need to settle their own and others' emotions (delight, sadness, joy, irritation, feelings, etc.). In the article: the concept of emotional intelligence, which occupies one of the most important places in human life (it is connected with various spheres of their activity, work, well-being, habits, etc.), is considered; reveals the nature and elements of children’s emotional intelligence, which appears and develops in primary school age. The authors analyzed methods favorable for the formation of primary school pupils’ emotional intelligence, its impact on the behavior of a child, and the increase in academic performance. The relationship between the development of primary school children’s emotional intelligence and such concepts as socialization, communication, adaptation has been established. Primary school teachers should pay attention to the formation of children’s various emotions. Awareness by teachers of the importance of schoolchildren’s emotional intelligence contributes to the focus of their educational activities. After all, each emotion is a manifestation of a certain behavior; implementation of actions; gestures and words with the help of which each person can explain their behavior and actions. In the article: the need to develop primary school students’ emotional intelligence for effective teamwork, successful cooperation, awareness of common interests, discovery of talents, motivation for cooperation, erudition is analyzed; it is noted that during the educational process the intellectual development of children takes place, the improvement of significant personal qualities of a person (independence, hard work, etc.).
