Chemical Experiment

Experiments carried out by children are highly instructive adventures that develop interest in science. Nothing motivates a child to learn physics or chemistry more than experimentation. Supervised by their teachers, using safe reagents, chemical glass, and other equipment required to conduct experiments, “Little Scientists” discover the laws of physics and chemistry. Experimenting favors a search for answers to the most basic questions; it helps children see the magic of science and discover the secrets of the world around them. Contrary to the common opinion, holding that physical or chemical experiments may be introduced at the beginning of primary school at the earliest, preschool-age children are already prepared for such activities. The article presents a chemical experiment concerning sugar detection conducted by 6-year-olds. Research was performed to determine whether making chemical experiments has an impact on the level of children’s knowledge about sugars. The study included 20 children who carried out chemical experiments in four parallel groups. The level of knowledge was tested twice: first prior to the experiment and then following the experiment. The analysis of the data obtained demonstrated that after the experiment the level of children’s knowledge about sugars increased significantly, as evidenced by the t-Student Test outcomes.

Therapeutic Play

ABSTRACT This study aimed to understand the play of the preschool child undergoing oncological treatment through dramatic therapeutic play. A total of five preschool age children with cancer participated in the dramatic therapeutic play sessions, between January and May 2013. The material was analyzed using the framework of phenomenology: analysis of the structure of the phenomenon in place. The following categories emerged from the sessions: Immersing oneself in the world of the disease and the oncological treatment; and Remembering the world without the disease. The study learned that becoming ill with cancer is a process which generates pain and suffering for the child, leading her to feel small and fragile in the face of the discomforts of the numerous procedures to which she is subjected. Therapeutic play was an important resource for revealing how the child with cancer feels during the treatment, and showed the children's difficulty in interacting with the unknown, and how this difficulty makes the balance between the points of health and illness complex.

Peculiarities of representations of family concept in senior preschool-age children are considered in the article. The authors of the article define representations as a certain vision of the world and relationships in it that help an individual to adapt to the world around him. According to the authors, the style of child-parent relations has an impact on the formation of a child’s ideas about family. As a result of empiric research, the authors come to the conclusion that the personality-centred style of child-parent relationship fosters ideas of positive family relations in senior preschool-age children. The tolerant type of child-parent relations determines the formation of the concept of neutral family relations in older preschool children. The ego-isolated style of child-parent relationships contributes to the formation of negative ideas about family relationships in senior preschool children. The empirical research has shown the predominance of ideas about positive family relationships in senior preschool children. In general, children of senior preschool age include family members, people and animals who live together with the child in the representation of the family, describe joint recreation and pastime, note the care of themselves as a child and characterize the features of emotional relationships between themselves and other family members. All three types of family concepts’ representations are manifested both in boys and girls. It is possible to trace the tendency of the predominance of ideas about negative family relations in boys, the predominance of ideas about neutral family relations in girls of senior preschool age.

The World

In order to create one’s own model of world cognition, a child acquires information from the environment created around him/her, which ensures the development of child’s explorative activity by arousing interest and curiosity, that later, in its turn, create the basis for learning motivation. Child’s explorative activity is a means to cognize the world that has been essentially influenced by the environment created by adults. The problem arises, if adults do not understand child’s activities that develop understanding about the world around. As a result, unreasonable criticism and evaluation from the adult’s point of view can be observed. Thus, it is important to clarify how the environment created by adults influence explorative activity of a child and what are the facilitating and delaying factors. The article reveals the theoretical findings based on pedagogical and psychological research (M.Osorin, H.Gudjon, R.Hart, I.Malkin-Pih, N.Podiakov, T.Amabile, D.Liegeniece) on explorative activity of preschool age children, as well as the pedagogical observation of the author.

Content Characteristics

The urgency of the problem of artistic abilities development of preschool age children in the process of creating an image of a person in drawing a portrait due to the high potential of this activity. In the course of acquaintance with the works of portrait art and teaching the image of a person in drawing a portrait, the child's ideas about the world of people, their characters and rela-tionships, about himself and his place in society are enriched, which contributes to the positive perception of the child himself, adults and peers, and thus affects the process of positive socializa-tion. The aim of the study is to identify the structure and content characteristics of the main com-ponents of artistic abilities to create an image of a person in drawing a portrait, to determine the actual level of their development among seven year old children, to develop a model of gradual formation of artistic abilities of senior preschoolers in the educational process.

Theoretical Considerations

It is generally accepted that education in the field of physics is possible only when one has received sufficient grounds for it. But physics is an attempt to understand the world around us. Everything one needs to study physics is an open mind and willingness to learn. It is also commonly thought that preschool-age children have a natural curiosity to figure out how the world functions. They focus not only on people but also on objects which they touch, taste, smell, throw into water, etc. Therefore, physics may be introduced as early as in kindergarten. Experiments in physics conducted together with a preschool group activate all analyzers, facilitate a more complete understanding of curricular contents, allow children to discover answers independently and to formulate conclusions. The research presents theoretical considerations regarding the nature of the class of physics conducted with preschool-age children and examples of practical solutions corresponding to physics-related activities performed in a group of 6-year-olds in the Self-Government Kindergarten at the School Complex in Łomazy. Keywords: natural curiosity, physics education, preschool education, 6-year-old child.

COVID-19 pandemic has frightened people and governments all around the world. The common opinion is that there are no efficient preventive measures but masks, isolation, and social distancing. The deliverance is hoped from the SARS-CoV-2-specific vaccine, which must be efficient and cheap. But, so far nobody knows when, and if such a vaccine will be developed and mass-produced. Trained immunity with oral polio vaccine (OPV) was recently proposed as a temporal solution against the heavy course of COVID-19. However, politics do not seem to follow, and the scientific world should react because humanity has no time to lose. Below, we support this with our thoughts.

And Behavior

The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is a screening instrument that addresses positive and negative behavioral attributes of children and adolescents. Although this questionnaire has been used in Germany to gather information from parents and teachers of preschoolers, few studies exist that verify the validity of the German SDQ for this age. In the present study, teacher ratings were collected for 282 children aged 36 to 60 months (boys = 156; girls = 126). Likewise, teacher ratings were collected with another German checklist for behavior problems and behavior disorders at preschool age (Verhaltensbeurteilungsbogen für Vorschulkinder, VBV 3–6). Moreover, children’s developmental status was assessed. Evaluation included correlation analysis as well as canonical correlation analysis to assess the multivariate relationship between the set of SDQ variables and the set of VBV variables. Discriminant analyses were used to clarify which SDQ variables are useful to differentiate between children with or without developmental delay in a multivariate model. The results of correlation and discriminant analyses underline the validity of the SDQ for preschoolers. According to these results, the German teacher SDQ is recommended as a convenient and valid screening instrument to assess positive and negative behavior of preschool age children.
