The article describes the study of the effectiveness of methodological techniques used in classes with students training to become teachers of mathematics in elementary schools in accordance with the methods of teaching mathematics to elementary school students. The methods proposed by the authors activate the mutual connection between logical thinking and several non-cognitive abilities of students. This reciprocal relationship is seen as a means to diagnose and develop students’ combinatorial abilities. The study uses testing methods with subsequent mathematical processing. The non-cognitive factors (level of general cultural development, general humanitarian training, features of the micro-environment, as well as the level of general psychosocial development, etc.) are assessed through the methods of academic success diagnostics, expert assessment of the level of general cultural development, and assessment of the level of psychosocial development. The obtained data were compared with the level of development of students’ logical thinking determined through the Raven test. The formative stage deployed original methodological methods allowing to stimulate students’ interest in composing textual mathematical tasks. The proposed methodological solutions to the problems of diagnosing and developing combinatorial thinking understood as a combination of logical thinking and several non-cognitive factors in future teachers show themselves effective. The proposed hypothesis is that composing textual mathematical tasks for elementary school students is an effective means of developing combinatorial abilities in students. The main conditions stimulating the effectiveness of non-cognitive factors are the increase in the level of an individual’s general cultural development, the expansion of their outlook, and the development of knowledge base, the creation of the “right” atmosphere for creativity, and stimulation of metaphorical thinking in the learning process.

Well-developed combinatorial abilities are an essential component of the professionalism of a modern primary school teacher. The goal of the present study is to search for methodological techniques for lessons on the methods of teaching mathematics in primary school that would activate the interconnection of logical thinking and several non-cognitive abilities of teachers in training. Said interconnection is viewed as a means allowing diagnosing and developing the combinatorial abilities of future primary school teachers. The study implements testing methods with consecutive mathematical processing. Assessment of the non-cognitive factors (the level of general cultural development, general humanitarian training, characteristics of the microenvironment, the level of general psychosocial development, etc.) involved the methods assessing academic success and psychosocial development level, as well as expert assessment of the level of general cultural development. These data were compared with the level of development of pedagogical university students’ logical thinking determined through Raven’s Progressive Matrices. The forming stage of the study involved original methodological techniques used to stimulate university students’ interest in creating compositions of textual mathematical problems for primary school students. The proposed methodological solutions to the problems of the diagnostics and development of combinatorial thinking in future teachers understood as a combination of logical thinking and several non-cognitive factors have shown themselves to be effective. The development of compositions of textual mathematical problems for primary school students is an effective means of developing future teachers’ combinatorial abilities.

Experimental Process

The use of computer games is becoming more and more common among children thanks to its many features; from multimedia opportunities to motivation. This increase in its use also increases the importance of educational games. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the use of educational games in education on the academic success, motivation and attitudes of elementary school students. The participants of the research consist of 90 students studying in a public primary school in the 2017-2018 academic years. The research is also important for carrying out with primary school students as younger individuals who are missing in the literature. In the research designed in the quasi-experimental model, an experimental process was carried out with two different units ("In the Classrom" and "Numbers") in the English lesson, and it was observed that the educational games increased the students' access to the lesson. On the other hand, while educational games caused a difference in motivation towards the English lesson, no difference was found in the attitudes towards the lesson.   Keywords: Digital game, educational game, motivation, attitude,

Foreign Language Courses

The role of motivation in foreign language teaching has been a debated issue for long years. One of the problematic issues is the motivation problem encountered in foreign language courses. Because, the most important factor affecting academic success is motivation. Most researchers argued that as the motivation level increases, the level of foreign language learning will increase and students will learn foreign languages more easily. In this research, motivation attitudes of state and private elementary school students in foreign language courses in Turkey were examined. At the same time, the relationship between foreign language and motivation attitude of state and private elementary school students was tried to be determined. The sample of the research is 747 students in 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades selected by random sampling from a Private Elementary School and a State Elementary School in Adana Province, Turkey, in 2018-2019 academic year. In the research, the participants were applied the Academic Motivation Scale-AMS and there was a significant effect on the motivation of different school type (state and private), gender, school and primary school was not examined. The difference between motivation levels of the students in state and private schools was tried to be determined. In the study, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficiency and Independent Sample t-test Analysis were performed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences—SPSS 22 Programme. According to the results, it was found that the motivation level differed according to the gender and school type.

Heterogeneous Classes

A decrease in concentration, motivation and academic success is a common occurrence with elementary school pupils. This is most noticeable in STEM lessons, particularly in Maths. Teachers resort to various teaching approaches in order to motivate students. However, teachers often realize such approaches bring no significant success in the classroom due to a lack of interest on the part of the students. The motivation and success of students can be increased by grouping the students within heterogeneous classes, which is frequently used with younger elementary school students. The article features a description of three different activities, which can be used to make Maths lessons more appealing when given to students in groups. At first, the activities might not seem related to Maths, but try them as they are great examples of activities, which increase mathematical thought. Described activities are Mud Town, Map Colouring and Ice Cream Stands.
