Melting And Solidification

The representation of the properties and phenomena of the physical world exists from the beginning of life, as a first datum of reality. In several studies focused on children's representations we find that these representations these representations are critical to education and are often incompatible with the scientific model. This article presents the results of an empirical research on the representations of young children for melting and solidification of salt. The research sample consisted of 79 pre-school children (five to six years old) from one state kindergarten in Greece. Data were collected through expanded, open type, semi-structured individual conversations between a child of the sample and one researcher. The results of the interviews show that these children use different types of representations, the majority dominated by the nature of the substance under study.

Lexical Concept

ABSTRACTWhat does the word chair mean? How does the category of objects bearing this name differ between adults and pre-school children? And how does the knowledge of a possible function of an object affect subjects' judgements? Answers to these questions were sought by means of sorting and rank ordering tasks. Subjects were shown drawings of a variety of objects on which one could sit, and were asked to indicate which ones they would call chairs. Those objects so judged to be category members were rank ordered for degree of typicality (or ‘best example’) by a paired-comparisons procedure. Half the subjects saw drawings of the objects alone, while the others saw a person sitting on each object. The results revealed that adults consistently judged some objects to be better examples than others, and that the provision of function information affected the judgements in a characteristic way. A different, less stable typicality structure was found in the children's category. Function cues caused the children's rank order judgements to change greatly. These findings are discussed within the framework of some recent theories of lexical concept formation in young children, and in relation to recent work on the nature of internal representations.

New Look

Attitudes to the treatment of the pre-school child today stem very largely from the mainstream traditions in classical child psychiatry, the most powerful of which is still probably psychoanalysis. Recent articles (e.g. Freud, 1966; Frommer, 1967; Bentovim and Boston, 1973) describing treatment units for very young children exemplify very clearly the influence of these traditions and illustrate the difficulty of breaking new ground in conceptualizing treatment procedures. It will be the purpose of this paper to take issue with such traditions, and to argue that it is time for a new look at pre-school child psychiatry.

Musical Activities

Life attitudes to, level of involvement with and success in musical learning are all tied to first musical experiences. Consequently an important objective in the planning of any musical programme for young children is to acknowledge their interests in and attitudes to different musical activities. The purpose of this investigation was to determine young children's attitudes to musical activities included in their pre-school musical programme. In particular it sought to discern if preferences exist for certain activities. What emerged from the investigation is that pre-school children generally appear to respond favourably towards involvement in all musical activities but that preferences do exist for moving and playing based activities.

The article presents the model of the formation of communicative (universal learning actions) ULA, which includes the principles and stages of remedial and pedagogical activities of speech and socio-psychological development. Each stage is supposed to work on communicative ULA development in primary school students with learning difficulties. There are three main directions of the communicative ULA development: the development of cognitive processes, the development of speech skills, and the development of socio-psychological skills. This article also presents the content of remedial and pedagogical work, including various types of activities in the curricular and extracurricular types of organizing educational activities.
