This study aimed to investigate the relationship between environmental attitudes and recycling behaviour in primary school age, and to evaluate the role that school and parents play in the prediction of children’s attitudes and behaviour. Primary school pupils aged 8–11 years (n = 116), their parents and their class teachers participated in the study. During the structured face-to-face interviews, children answered questions about their recycling behaviour and environmental attitudes (i.e. eco-affinity and eco-awareness). Parents provided answers on their recycling behaviour, verbal modelling of the behaviour, incentives used when a child recycles waste, and environmental attitudes, while class teachers provided information about the recycling in children’s school. Structural equation models were tested with a purpose to evaluate the role of different independent variables, i.e. only school, only parental factors, or both, when predicting child recycling behaviour. Results of the study showed that children’s environmental attitudes had no significant links to their recycling behaviour. The only factor that appeared to be significant in the prediction of child behaviour was parental recycling behaviour. Furthermore, recycling in schools predicted pupils’ eco-awareness. Based on the study findings, it would be worthwhile to promote more practical training of pro-environmental behaviour, and to strengthen children’s eco-affinity.

The article is devoted to the topical problem of increasing the effectiveness of vocal and choral lessons with primary school pupils. In particular, in the conditions of general availability and speed of obtaining information, pupils are determined to receive a quick "visible" result. As an effective method for solving this problem, according to the author, the kinesthetic method is used in vocal and choral classes not as an auxiliary method, but as the main method, where vocal and choral training becomes its natural continuation. The article is devoted to a detailed analysis of the kinesthetic method, the justification of its effectiveness in vocal and choral classes. A comprehensive analysis of the application of the kinesthetic method in vocal and choral pedagogy of primary school age is carried out. The idea of the effectiveness of the kinesthetic method in this age category is substantiated, since at the initial stage of training the child goes through several stages of personal growthand development, the combination of which greatly complicates the process of obtaining basic skills.

The aim of the research is to identify the psychological and pedagogical principles of distance learning for children with cognitive development disorder in primary school. During the exploratory and empirical research, it was observed that the actual conditions of distance learning for pupils with cognitive development disorder cover the categories as follows: ZOOM is the most common method of distance learning; distance learning is more difficult to manage; distance learning is more stressful compared to face-to-face training.  The triads of psychological and pedagogical fundamentals for organizing distance learning have been formalized, namely: the name and content of the component of educational activity, psychological - correctional objectives, and techniques used in distance learning. The features of the course of cognitive processes in the context of the psychological and pedagogical principles of organizing distance learning for children of primary school age with cognitive development disorder have been revealed.

In the presented clinical case, the combination of two pathogens (enterovirus and streptococcus) caused a severe and atypical course of the hand-foot-mouth syndrome in a child of primary school age. EVI from the first days of the disease represented by the typical localization of the primary elements of the rash and the characteristic intoxication syndrome was confirmed by the detection of enterovirus RNA in the feces. The course of the disease was undulating. In the first wave, skin rashes accompanied by soreness and itching corresponded to the classical EVI in terms of the nature of the elements, their localization and were combined with lesions of the epithelium of the oral mucosa. Starting from the 5th day of the disease, against the background of an increase in the severity of intoxication syndrome, bullous elements appeared on the skin of the extremities, an excess of the permissible values of antistreptolysin-O was found 12 times, and when sowing material from cracks in the corner of the mouth, Streptococcus pyogenes 106 KUO was isolated, which indicated a combination of the syndrome Hand-foot-mouth with streptococcal infection. Onychomadesis in the period of convalescence retrospectively testified to the dominant role of enterovirus in the presented clinical case.
