Communicative Abilities

The development of communicative competence is one of the most distinct priorities in contemporary education system in Lithuania (Lietuvos valstybinė švietimo strategija 2013–2022 m.; Pradinio ir pagrindinio ugdymo bendrosios programos (patvirtinta LR švietimo ir mokslo ministro 2008 m. rugpjūčio 26 d. įsakymu Nr. ISAK-2423). Conception of communicative competence of primary school age students is founded on the communication and competence definitions: communication is the activity of conveying information, based on the principle of dialogue, through the exchange of thoughts, messages, experiences, as by verbal or nonverbal interaction, seeking mutual understanding and competence is the entirety of knowledge, abilities, and valuebased attitudes necessary for successful development / self-development and daily life. The objective to enhance effectiveness of the processes of the development of communicative competence induces turning back to the opportunities proposed by training through arts, specifically through drama activity. Effectively applied, drama activity methods can play importante role in transforming and supporting teaching. Following this we raised the research questions: How to specify activities in the textbooks by identifying the methods of creative activity relevant to the development of communicative competence? How in the textbooks (Lihuanian language, Nature Science and Mathematics) are proposed teaching and learning activities relevant to primary school age student‘s communicative abilities (listening, speaking and reading), and how activities are distributed under classes and object of textbooks? How drama activities are presented in the textbooks on developing students’ communicative abilities? This article covers a comparative analysis of the textbooks of the Lithuanian language, Nature science, Mathematics designed for primary school students. Quantitative research design was used and method was employed content analysis (Bitinas, 2008; Ferari et al., 2010; Kojanitz, 2009) of textbooks: Lithuanian language “Pupa”; Nature science “Gilė” and Mathematics “Riešutas” for the first-fourth grades. Total were analysed 32 textbooks. Provision made for sampling of texts, breakdown into constituent components, their categorization, encoding of text units under semantic categories, and interpretation of the contents categories. Drama activity was analysed under to semantic categories – to perform (lt. vaidinti) and to play (lt. žaisti); communicative abilities and activities were analysed under to sematic categories – reading, speaking and listening. Results of the textbooks analysis highlights the nature of the activities contained in to the textbooks and relationship with drama activities, and with development communicative abilities. It has been established in the textbooks, intended for the first through fourth grades, more attention is given to listening and speaking in first and second grades, while in third and fourth grades focus is replaced upon reading, listening and speaking. Analysis of textbooks has shown that pupils are given sufficient amount of activities that develop their communicative abilities, however, when doing analysis in terms of drama activities (semantic categories of the content), only but few drama activities have been identified. The results showed that the students’ communicative competence are most frequently developed in the class (in the textbooks) of the Lithuanian language and Natural sciences. Drama activities are used not always in a suitable manner, i.e. failing to take advantage of the opportunities provided by drama activities. Drama activities in textbooks normally are limited to reading of texts (in dialog) and, focusing upon memorization and reproduction of a text. It has been found out that textbooks also lack tasks associated with different kind of drama activities, there is shortage of learning resources fir to such activities, such as fairy tales, poems, small form folklore, etc.

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 article presents the results of an empirical study of specific characteristics of the success of boys and girls of primary school age in solving convergent problems under the condition of varying motivational attitudes. The study was conducted in the elementary school of the State Budgetary Educational Institution of Moscow “School No. 1561” educational complex in 2016-2018. The study sample includes 239 second-grade students the average age of whom was 8.2 years old. 137 of the study participants were boys and 102 were girls which constitutes 57% and 43% of the sample, respectively. Motivation is assessed via the authors’ modification of N.V. Elfimova’s method “A ladder of motives”, a version of M. Seligman’s Children’s Attributional Style Questionnaire (CASQ) modified by N.A. Baturina and D.A. Tsiring, and the authors’ modification of C. Dweck’s Implicit Theory Scale. The study of the cognitive sphere of the primary school students involves J. Raven’s progressive matrices test, P. Torrance’s test of creative thinking, and E.E. Tunik’s adaptation of J. Johnson’s creativity scale. Within the framework of the experiment, two blocks of convergent tasks are formed: one including non-verbal transitivity tasks (the logical block) and the other containing volumetric and spatial thinking tasks (the spatial block). It is established that the success of primary school students of both sexes in solving convergent tasks is associated not only with the extrinsic motivational attitude constructed through verbal instruction but also with the specific psychological characteristics of the development of the cognitive and motivational spheres in children. The relationship between the success in solving convergent tasks and the psychological characteristics of cognitive development and the motivational sphere differs for boys and girls of primary school age which manifests most intensely in the level of development of the non-verbal component, the leading motivation, and the specifics of the development of the attributional style of explaining success and failure, as well as its particular components.

Every time a disaster occurs, one of the groups that becomes victims is children, both as victims of death and victims of injuries. Children who have survived a disaster are the group that suffers the most, they suffer the trauma of the disaster and a deep sense of loss. Therefore, disaster mitigation for children, especially primary school age children, is very important so that they are prepared to face the threat of disasters. The vast territory of Indonesia with a variety of disaster threats faced demands creative ideas so that disaster mitigation messages reach Indonesian children, one of which is the use of fairy tale videos. This study aims to find out the extent to which fairy tales can be used as a disaster mitigation media in developing the readiness of primary school children to face the threat of disaster. This research applies library research methods or literature review to the results of studies and relevant scientific publications. From this study, it shows that video media can significantly influence children's knowledge and attitudes. Disaster mitigation messages that are packaged in the form of fairy tale videos are able to attract the interest of children who are ultimately expected to build their preparedness in facing the threat of disaster.

Analyzing scientific research, we found the problem of little knowledge of the nature and elements of emotional intelligence of children of primary school age, the directions of its formation. The authors want to reveal the ways of solving this problem, which is complex, contradictory and at the same time relevant and in demand in modern psychological and pedagogical science, more widely in their article. They associate the presence of emotional intelligence of a person with various habits, work, happy moments in life, etc. The less attention a person pays to the development of their own emotional intelligence, the more time he/she will need to settle their own and others' emotions (delight, sadness, joy, irritation, feelings, etc.). In the article: the concept of emotional intelligence, which occupies one of the most important places in human life (it is connected with various spheres of their activity, work, well-being, habits, etc.), is considered; reveals the nature and elements of children’s emotional intelligence, which appears and develops in primary school age. The authors analyzed methods favorable for the formation of primary school pupils’ emotional intelligence, its impact on the behavior of a child, and the increase in academic performance. The relationship between the development of primary school children’s emotional intelligence and such concepts as socialization, communication, adaptation has been established. Primary school teachers should pay attention to the formation of children’s various emotions. Awareness by teachers of the importance of schoolchildren’s emotional intelligence contributes to the focus of their educational activities. After all, each emotion is a manifestation of a certain behavior; implementation of actions; gestures and words with the help of which each person can explain their behavior and actions. In the article: the need to develop primary school students’ emotional intelligence for effective teamwork, successful cooperation, awareness of common interests, discovery of talents, motivation for cooperation, erudition is analyzed; it is noted that during the educational process the intellectual development of children takes place, the improvement of significant personal qualities of a person (independence, hard work, etc.).
