Communicational transversal competency represents an important part of the mathematical knowledge, skills and competencies in the process of   students’ development in Grade 1-4. The creation and formation of communicational transversal competency helps to put students into an active cognitive position in the course of pedagogical interactions in mathematics classes. Further, creation of communicational transversal competencies develops not only students’ analytic – synthetic activity during the process of solving different types of mathematical tasks but also their creative thinking. This longitudinal research presents some theoretical concepts related to the transversal communicational competency and to its development during the educational process in mathematics in Grade 1-4. During this empirical study a completely new methodology system of work was developed with the purpose to facilitate development of mathematical knowledge, skills and competencies including the communicational transversal competency. The new system was tested and applied during the compulsory, additional and extended classes in mathematics in Grade 1-4 and consequently was improved after the performance of entry and intermediate diagnostic. Also, this article presents some of the mathematical tasks included in the tests. The researcher studied the objectiveness, the validity and the reliability of the diagnostic tools developed for the purpose as well as the tasks included in the tests in respect of their difficulty and separating force.  The presented results of the experimental work were processed using mathematics-statistics methods.

One of the fundamental knowledge in mathematics in Primary school is related to the arithmetic operations addition and subtraction. According to the educational programs in mathematics in the Republic of Bulgaria, students start studying these operations in grade 1. The article presents theoretical concepts affecting studying the arithmetic operations addition and subtraction in the education in mathematics at a primary school. The research work identified the specifics of studying the inverse connections between the arithmetic operations addition and subtraction in the education in mathematics for grade 1 are also presented. Some of the significant tasks with importance for discovering the relations between the forward operation addition and the reverse operation subtraction were proposed in the study. A new methodology system of work with tasks where these relations are used was developed and tested. The author studied the knowledge, skills, and competencies of the grade 1 students to solve arithmetic operations addition and subtraction tasks. After the exit diagnostic, it was found out that the students of the class where the new methodology system of work was applied during their education in mathematics have got a higher level of knowledge and skills from competency Cluster Numbers in respect of the arithmetic operations addition and subtraction.  The use of mathematical tasks with reverse relations between the arithmetic operations addition and subtraction help the students to develop both the overall mathematical knowledge and the logical thinking of the first-graders.

Inquiry Based Learning

Current social needs emphasize the education of a person with creative thinking, capable of not only finding problems but also solving them. Different strategies are applied in the educational process according to the society's requirements for an educated individual. On this basis, the appropriate content of education, organizational forms, didactic methods and the use of the latest didactic techniques are also determined. One way to achieve this is to introduce other teaching methods, such as inquiry-based teaching, into the teaching process. Inquiry-based learning aims to make science lessons more effective, especially at primary schools, and at the same time seeks to attract students to study them. It has an irreplaceable role in new, modern and successful ways of teaching science. The aim of the paper is to design methodological sheets in the 5th year of elementary school in terms of inquiry-based learning and their application to the teaching process.

Purpose This study aims to explore how the Community of Inquiry (CoI) model (2000) is used to categorize students’ and teachers’ interactions in an asynchronous discussion and how these interactions are able to help students add quality to their narrative writing. Design/methodology/approach The interactions were categorized based on teaching, social and cognitive presences suggested by the CoI model. Data collection included online archives and students’ narrative essays. Content analysis was performed based on the presences suggested by the CoI model. Scores for the narrative essays were based on Tribble’s (1996) assessment scale. Findings The findings indicated that the interactions were significantly related to the cognitive, teaching and social presences. However, the cognitive presence indicated a distinctive pattern. As this was a qualitative study, there were emerging themes. The study found that critical thinking was minimal, as the writing task was related to creative thinking. Research limitations/implications It is suggested that writing in the online environment should also consider different types of writing. Originality/value The emerging themes can be used to enhance and complement the CoI model when used in the Malaysian setting.

In this study we use theoretical concepts and computational-diagnostic tools of Tsallis non-extensive statistical theory (Tsallis q-triplet: qsen, qrel, qstat), complemented by other known tools of nonlinear dynamics such as Correlation Dimension and surrogate data, Hurst exponent, Flatness coefficient, and p-modeling of multifractality, in order to describe and understand Small-scale Magnetic Islands (SMIs) structures observed in Solar Wind (SW) with a typical size of ~0.01–0.001 AU at 1 AU. Specifically, we analyze ~0.5 MeV energetic ion time-intensity and magnetic field profiles observed by the STEREO A spacecraft during a rare, widely discussed event. Our analysis clearly reveals the non-extensive character of SW space plasmas during the periods of SMIs events, as well as significant physical complex phenomena in accordance with nonlinear dynamics and complexity theory. As our analysis also shows, a non-equilibrium phase transition parallel with self-organization processes, including the reduction of dimensionality and development of long-range correlations in connection with anomalous diffusion and fractional acceleration processes can be observed during SMIs events.

AbstractIntroduction: In this article, we want to point out what kind of pedagogical and didactic change is being recorded in Slovakia’s education system and we will point out where it could go and develop to achieve positive results. This article is one of the upcoming outputs in the form of paper and study on the provision of structured, analytical and critical thinking (SAC). In the article, it is shown how the situation has changed and how we perceive the attitude of students during the educational process. Next, it is described current problems and inadequacies in the educational process and define how to use a change of thinking to increase motivation and improve access to knowledge.Purpose: In general, there is a consensus that it is important for teachers to be able to guide their students to problem-solving skills (Aktaş & Ünlü, 2013). It is pointed out that, with the right educational tools, such skills can be stimulated, developed and improved (Jordaan & Jordaan, 2005). This article is designed for all levels of education, but we are mostly concerned with educating future educators.Methods: In this paper, there are described methods that can help to improve the quality of thinking of students and thus increase the level of thinking of the whole society. This article take inspiration from important historical personalities as well as relevant current personalities in their professions. Critical, analytical and creative thinking, also based on logical and structured thinking, is our main method of our educational process.Conclusion: In conclusion, it is pointed out the need to develop SAC as a whole. It is important for the general publica to have better skills in SAC, for example, from the point of view of cognitive mistakes in experts, in the field of political literacy, recognition of misinformation and a better general awareness of rational thinking. As can be seen, SAC is not only about education, but it also closely affects society as a whole. It can thus influence the operation of the company, prevent the development of the first-class solutions offered and raise the whole company to a higher level.

Characteristic Features

The paper is devoted to the urgent problem of schoolchildrens meta-subject competences development, which requires optimal methodological approaches identification and specific teaching tasks development. The authors, on the basis of a categorical-conceptual apparatus analysis of a competence-based approach to learning, identify and analyze characteristic features of didactic means used for these competences development. The paper discusses a possibility of integral cognitive tasks use as a means of schoolchildrens meta-subject competences development for teaching natural science subjects, in particular, Chemistry. The paper also presents principles for integrated cognitive tasks development, contains their characteristics as well as examples of such tasks. An important condition for meta-subject competences evaluation is the choice of tools that allow them to carry out a comprehensive diagnosis. The authors have shown that it is possible to use integral cognitive tasks for assessing the level of schoolchildrens meta-subject competences development. They also provide diagnostic tools and present an example of task assessment. The paper discusses meta-subject results; their achievement is possible when teaching Chemistry at a secondary school, an attempt is made to correlate them with meta-subject competences. The results of an experimental test allow us to speak about the effectiveness of the developed system application at a secondary school if integral cognitive tasks are used as a complex in the educational process.

Educational Information

Introduction. The amount of information offered for study in modern educational institutions is rapidly increasing. Overcoming the inconsistency of the obligation to master the increasing flow of educational information and achieving the necessary "level" of training in fulfilling the traditional requirement of pedagogy – withstanding an acceptable amount of visibility leads to the mass introduction of multimedia tools. The folding so-called clip thinking shades the problems of filling thesaurus learning information virtually uncontrollable content and quality.Materials and Methods. Theoretical and empirical methods of research were used in the course of the work: analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison, comparison, scientific theorization.Results. Clip-thinking interferes with a clear understanding of the context, and therefore the clip leaves no trace in semantically related phenomena. The trend of radical change in the roles of teachers and students reveals the main reasons and conditions for the transition to visualized presentation of educational information. In addition to the apparent negative consequences of the current pedagogical situation, some advantages of the protective reactions developed by modern learners to the most powerful stream of educational information are revealed. Studies have confirmed the risks of over-visibility in the learning process. Objective differences in the purpose and effectiveness of the types of visibility considered are highlighted. The main points of the formation of visual images are reflected, the obligatory maintenance of the conditions of problems in the educational process is emphasized.Discussion and Conclusions. The studies that have been carried out present an argument for the recommendations for the proposed frame-graphic approach in the organization of the educational process. The orientation of the educational process for each allocated group is justified, which requires a rather different nature of the script. One solution is to use educational information visualization tools to ensure the sustainability of the creative thinking vector.
