Pre-school education of children, which lasts until they began to their primary education, covers a period of the time between the ages of 0 and 6. This is the most important period of time in which they developed most of their physical, emotional, mental, social and linguistic skills, and their personality.  It is apparent that a big part of traffic problems occurs due to the lack of traffic education. Although it is important to have traffic education in all ages, the pre-school education helps them to acquire a habit of obeying the traffic rules and affects their behaviors.  In this study, the traffic information and perception of pre-school age children in Turkey is determined with the help of a survey applied to 804 children between aged 3-6; the missing and mistakes are identified, and the steps for a more accurate and permanent traffic education are discussed.

Primary School Age

Comorbid learning difficulties in linguistic and mathematical skills often emerge in primary school age. The cause of coinciding of both learning difficulties during children’s development spanning pre- and primary-school age is not yet well understood. To address this research gap, we used data from the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS; n = 301) of four groups of children which were categorized according to their skill levels in pre-school age: children with learning difficulties isolated in linguistic skills (LD), children with learning difficulties isolated in mathematical skills (MD), children with learning difficulties combined in linguistic and mathematical skills (MD/LD), and children with typical development in both skills (TA). Computing univariate and repeated measures ANCOVAs we compared the mathematical and linguistic development of the four groups of children (LD, MD, LD/MD, and TA) spanning age four to ten. Results reveal a partial catch-up in linguistic skills (lexical, grammatical) for children with LD. In contrast, children with MD did not overcome their mathematical competence gap in comparison with TA and LD. Moreover, children with MD showed a decrease in grammatical skills during transition in primary school. Further, children with MD/LD displayed the weakest performance in linguistic and mathematical skills during pre- and primary-school age in general. However, after controlling for working memory, initial performance differences between the groups decreased in favor of MD/LD. The relation between linguistic skills and mathematical skills in persisting learning difficulties as well as the specific role of working memory are discussed.

Pedagogic Theory

The paper deals with the importance of play for children?s development and learning in institutionalized preschool education, as well as the opportunities it provides concerning the organization of teaching activities with younger school age children. The paper is based on the theoretical framework emphasizing educational character of children?s play, as a specific form of learning. Notwithstanding occasional attempts within pedagogic theory to deny educational values of children?s play and to emphasize instruction as the only form of systematic learning, contemporary pedagogic views consider play an important part of school education. Learning through play at younger school age helps overcome the discontinuity between preschool and school education. Curriculum subject matter can be covered through carefully selected and prepared play activities within the existing system, providing the support, encouragement and guidance by the adults involved, including their proper knowledge of children? age-related and psycho-physical characteristics. Play facilitates gradual change over from preschool to school developmental stage, free, spontaneous and creative expression and the development of children?s potential.

Methodological peculiarities of creating fairy tales at preschool and primary education institutions have been investigated. The new State Standards for Preschool and Primary Education provide the development of children’s creativity and innovation. The importance of media education is growing due to the development of innovative media products, which is a fairy tale. It has been stressed on creating fairy tales as a component of storytelling. Emphasis has been placed on the fact that the ability to create a fairy tale is one of the learning outcomes of primary school students in accordance with the Typical educational programs. The objective of the article is to substantiate the methods of creating fairy tales as a media educational product of preschool and primary school age children in collaboration with parents and teachers. The following methods have been used to achieve the goal: the analysis of normative documents and pedagogical sources on the research problem; comparative-contrast, generalizations (for comparison of storytelling and creating fairy tales); surveys, interviews (to develop and test the effectiveness of methods of creating fairy tales as a media educational product). The origins of the creating fairy tales by children in the middle of the XXth century have been demonstrated. The common and distinctive features of traditional creating fairy tales and storytelling have been clarified. Contradictions regarding the use of storytelling have been identified, in particular between the growing interest in digital storytelling and the requirements for time-limited contact of children with gadgets and other technical devices. Four stages have been defined in the developed methods. They are the following: 1. Preparatory – choosing a favorite fairy tale. 2. Search – finding a situation in which a child becomes a participant. 3. Implementation – the child’s “entry” into a fairy tale, the design of his/her activities and the role or the profession in a fairy tale. 4. Final – the analysis of the child’s and other characters’ behavior in a fairy-tale situation. The ability to produce creatively media products as an indicator of media literacy formation has been reflected. Specific examples illustrate the ways to transform famous fairy tales into a new way. Emphasis has been placed on media educational tales as a means of media education at preschool and primary education institutions. The advantages of the developed methods of creating fairy tales have been shown: it allows parents, children and kindergarten teachers/teachers in partnership to transform well-known fairy tales in a new way, to implement the function of protection against harmful influences of new media, to strengthen family relations and family ties with preschool and primary education institutions, to improve media culture. The results of a survey of preschoolers’ parents on reading and creating fairy tales have been presented.

Improve Service Delivery

Educational audiologists often must delegate certain tasks to other educational personnel who function as support personnel and need training in order to perform assigned tasks. Support personnel are people who, after appropriate training, perform tasks that are prescribed, directed, and supervised by a professional such as a certified and licensed audiologist. The training of support personnel to perform tasks that are typically performed by those in other disciplines is calledmultiskilling. This article discusses multiskilling and the use of support personnel in educational audiology in reference to the following principles: guidelines, models of multiskilling, components of successful multiskilling, and "dos and don’ts" for multiskilling. These principles are illustrated through the use of multiskilling in the establishment of a hearing aid monitoring program. Successful multiskilling and the use of support personnel by educational audiologists can improve service delivery to school-age children with hearing loss.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess the perceptions of stuttering of school-age children who stutter and those of adults who stutter through the use of the same tools that could be commonly used by clinicians. Method Twenty-three participants across various ages and stuttering severity were administered both the Stuttering Severity Instrument–Fourth Edition (SSI-4; Riley, 2009 ) and the Wright & Ayre Stuttering Self-Rating Profile ( Wright & Ayre, 2000 ). Comparisons were made between severity of behavioral measures of stuttering made by the SSI-4 and by age (child/adult). Results Significant differences were obtained for the age comparison but not for the severity comparison. Results are explained in terms of the correlation between severity equivalents of the SSI-4 and the Wright & Ayre Stuttering Self-Rating Profile scores, with clinical implications justifying multi-aspect assessment. Conclusions Clinical implications indicate that self-perception and impact of stuttering must not be assumed and should be evaluated for individual participants. Research implications include further study with a larger subject pool and various levels of stuttering severity.

Purpose The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently released guidelines for rehabilitation professionals regarding the care of children with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Given that mTBI impacts millions of children each year and can be particularly detrimental to children in middle and high school age groups, access to universal recommendations for management of postinjury symptoms is ideal. Method This viewpoint article examines the CDC guidelines and applies these recommendations directly to speech-language pathology practices. In particular, education, assessment, treatment, team management, and ongoing monitoring are discussed. In addition, suggested timelines regarding implementation of services by speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are provided. Specific focus is placed on adolescents (i.e., middle and high school–age children). Results SLPs are critical members of the rehabilitation team working with children with mTBI and should be involved in education, symptom monitoring, and assessment early in the recovery process. SLPs can also provide unique insight into the cognitive and linguistic challenges of these students and can serve to bridge the gap among rehabilitation and school-based professionals, the adolescent with brain injury, and their parents. Conclusion The guidelines provided by the CDC, along with evidence from the field of speech pathology, can guide SLPs to advocate for involvement in the care of adolescents with mTBI. More research is needed to enhance the evidence base for direct assessment and treatment with this population; however, SLPs can use their extensive knowledge and experience working with individuals with traumatic brain injury as a starting point for post-mTBI care.
