Different Types

Abstract How do children describe and explain the behaviour of robotic systems? In this paper, some distinctions between different types of explanations, drawing from the philosophy of science literature, are proposed and exemplified by reference to an activity in which primary school children are asked to describe and explain the behaviour of a pre-programmed Braitenberg-like vehicle. The proposed distinctions are also discussed against other studies drawn from the related scientific literature. A qualitative study has provided insights to further refine the analysis described here, through the introduction of other sub-categories of explanation of robotic behaviours.

This study examines how different types of preschool experience may be related to subse- quent sociometric status in the primary school. A sociometric questionnaire was given to 187 primary school children. Those who had previously attended nursery schools or play-groups scored significantly higher than those who had attended nurseries or remained at home. The results are cautiously interpreted as evidence supporting the importance of pre-school experience for childhood social development but emphasizing that the type of experience may be crucial.

Development Of Students

Using the example of conducting a Russian language lesson in the third grade, the article reveals the methodology of forming the ability of younger students to independently construct monologue texts. The author has demonstrated the effectiveness of using a set of methodological techniques that contribute to the development of students’ ability to analyze and distinguish between texts of different types: narration, description, reasoning. This allows third graders to create their own texts, taking into account the characteristics of the type to which they belong. Taking into account the tendency of primary school children to play, research activities and dialogue with peers, the teacher offers them didactic play, educational dialogue and discussion during the lesson.
