AbstractThe paper deals with a problematic of creating variant texts according to a sensory perception. An idea of transcribing text is based on a theory of adaptive learning, which is thoroughly studied at the Department of Information and Communication Technologies. Researchers in this work combined the adaptive approach together with thinking styles introduced by Libor Činka and created four variants of texts of the chosen topics. Then those texts undergone the verification by the students from high school and university, who read them and evaluated them as well as they answered to a prepared set of testing questions. All received data was compared against the replies from the learning style questionnaires VARK and questionnaire by Šimíčková. The paper discovered some differences between the results of VARK and Šimíčková questionnaire, which proved to be slightly more reliable compared to both the results of test questions and the students’ own opinion. There were also differences between sensory variants of texts. As expected, the kinesthetic variant proved to be the less effective compared to the rest. It seems that university students accepted the rewritten texts better than high school students too.

The Brain

The current study aimed to identify the relationship between brain domain and professional tendencies in high school students in Taif governorate, if there are differences between individuals in professional tendencies based on brain domain and is there a difference in the order of professional tendencies of students with left- handed sovereignty of the brain and students with right- handed sovereignty for the brain and if there are differences in the professional tendencies of the study sample due to the specialization and differences in the dominant side of the brain in the sample of the study depending on the variable of specialization. To achieve the objectives of the study, the descriptive curriculum was followed and the sample consisted of 97 high school students. The researcher used the brain range (Torrance, 1988: rationing Murad, 1994) and the Professional tendencies Scale (Preparation of Ayad, 2011). The results of the study showed no correlation between brain domain and professional tendencies in high school students, as well as no statistically significant differences in the professional tendencies based on brain domain. There are also no statistically significant differences in the professional tendencies due to the variable specialization, and the left pattern is prevalent among students of scientific disciplines, while the integrated pattern is the dominant pattern among students of literary disciplines, and the descending order of the students with left- handed sovereignty differs from the brain and students with right- handed sovereignty of the brain. And In light of the results, the researcher recommends giving students a variety of tasks that help them use both sides of the brain more. And support the curriculum with activities that address the two hemispheres of the brain. And the use of the integrative learning model or the integrated educational model in the educational environment to achieve integration between the two hemispheres of the brain. And training teachers to employ different strategies to develop both sides of the brain, in proportion to the different learning and thinking styles of students.

Diagnostic Complex

The research activity of schoolchildren is traditionally viewed as an integral component of the educational process. The article is devoted to the description of the specifics of the study of indi-vidual typological features of high school students in order to take them into account in the course of intellectual management in the mathematical modeling of students ' research activities. A diagnostic complex is presented, which is planned to be used to achieve this goal. The indi-cated set of methods will provide diagnostics of the parameters of the quality and success of the subject's design and research activities: motivation to achieve the goal and motivation for self-realization, value orientations and the significance of research activities, the cognitive compo-nent of creativity, knowledge of logical operations, thinking styles, skills, skills and experience of design and research activities, readiness for scientific communication and dialogue. The article gives a complete description of the diagnostic methods included in the complex: the Amthauer Intelligence Structure Test, a modification of the A. Mehrabian questionnaire test for measuring achievement motivation( TMD), diagnostics of the level of self-development and professional and pedagogical activity (L. N. Berezhnova), the “Value orientations” method (M. Rokich), the “Individual thinking styles” test (A. Alekseeva, L. Gromova), the method of diagnosing the ori-entation of the personality of B. Bass (the Smekal-Kucher Questionnaire; the Bass orientation questionnaire). This diagnostic complex will provide intelligent control in the mathematical modeling of students' research activities in the context of the deployment of their individual edu-cational trajectories. The presented methodological support allows ensuring the consistency of the results obtained at the introductory and final stages of the study.

A modification of the Paired-Stimuli Parent Program (Florance, 1977) was adapted for the treatment of articulatory errors of visually handicapped children. Blind high school students served as clinical aides. A discussion of treatment methodology, and the results of administrating the program to 32 children, including a two-year follow-up evaluation to measure permanence of behavior change, is presented.

Summary: This article describes a triarchic analysis of an aptitude-treatment interaction in a college-level introductory-psychology course given to selected high-school students. Of the 326 total participants, 199 were selected to be high in analytical, creative, or practical abilities, or in all three abilities, or in none of the three abilities. The selected students were placed in a course that either well matched or did not match their pattern of analytical, creative, and practical abilities. All students were assessed for memory, analytical, creative, and practical achievement. The data showed an aptitude-treatment interaction between students' varied ability patterns and the match or mismatch of these abilities to the different instructional groups.

Identity Exploration

This study examined how social opportunity structure influences identity exploration and commitment of Albanian high school students. A total of 258 students completed a questionnaire that gauged their identity exploration and commitment in three domains: education, occupation, and family. ANOVA results indicated that, overall, students scored highest in exploration in the domain of education and in commitment in the domain of family. Students' exploration and commitment were linked to gender. Albanian female students scored higher than male students in exploration and commitment regarding education and family. Perceived work opportunities in Albania or abroad also significantly moderated participants' exploration in the domain of education and were associated with commitment in education and occupation. As one of the first studies to explore Albanian youth's identity development in relation to social opportunity structure, findings are discussed in light of furthering the field of Albanian adolescent and youth development.
