General Creativity

The goal of the current study was to investigate the role of executive functions in mathematical creativity. The sample included 278 primary school children (ages 8–13). Two models were compared: the starting model tested whether executive functions (shifting, updating, and inhibition), domain-general creativity, and mathematical ability directly predicted mathematical creativity. The second model, which fitted the data best, included the additional assumption that updating influences mathematical creativity indirectly through mathematical ability and domain-general creativity. Updating was positively related to mathematical creativity. Additionally, updating was positively related to mathematical ability and domain-general creativity. Inhibition, shifting, domain-general creativity and mathematical ability did not have a significant contribution to either model but did positively correlate with mathematical creativity. This study reports the first empirical evidence that updating is a predictor of mathematical creativity in primary school children and demonstrates that creativity is a higher order cognitive process, activating a variety of cognitive abilities.

Transmission Of Values

Transmission of values and religious concepts to children is one of the most important issues in the third millennium and it has drawn varied and different views among experts and scholars in the world. Research specialized in religious literature for children and adolescents create new capacities in the presentation of religious concepts to the group. Plans have been considered to transfer values and religious concepts in the curricula of primary school children in the group in Iran. It is one of the topics that the authors note to the introduction of the minutiae of religion in the first three elementary grades. In this study, the collection and analysis methods providing content related to the minutiae of religion in reading books the first till third sections of the years 2013-2015. In addition, the plan includes aspects of other branches of religion in these books on information collected from text books that collected and classified. The result is that "definitely good and forbidding the evil" and "prayer" have the highest frequency of applications in the selected books. Further branches made of branches of religion in these books, represents the values of religious, moral and social as well.

Background: Organization of school meals remains one of the important elements of preserving health of schoolchildren. The influence of the alimentary factor is most pronounced in the “sensitive periods” of childhood, one of which is primary school age. Our objective was to do hygienic assessment of nutrition of primary school children in the city of Smolensk and compliance of school diets with the principles of rational and adequate nutrition. Materials and methods: The object of the study included ten educational institutions representing all districts of Smolensk and contractors providing services for organization of school meals. The hygienic assessment of organization of school meals and actual nutrition of primary school children (grades 1–4, 7–11 years of age) was based on valid sanitary regulations. School breakfast and lunch were evaluated from a hygienic point of view. Results: We established that the school diets of younger schoolchildren in urban educational institutions were deficient in nutritional composition and caloric content, irrational and insufficiently balanced. School meals were characterized by a 1.5–1.6 times lower caloric content compared to the dietary reference intake due to a reduced content of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. The contents of microelements and vitamins were on the average by 10–67% and 15–69% lower than the recommended norms of physiological requirements of schoolchildren of this age group. The lack of fresh fruit and milk in school meals was another unfavorable factor in nutrition of schoolchildren. Conclusion: Our results dictate the need to optimize the diets of schoolchildren and to strengthen production control and sanitary and epidemiologic surveillance of compliance with hygienic requirements for catering in urban educational institutions.

AbstractWe investigated the antecedents and consequences of chronic victimization by bullies across a school transition using a genetically sensitive longitudinal design. Data were from the Environmental Risk Longitudinal Twin Study (E-Risk), an epidemiological cohort of 2,232 children. We used mothers' and children's reports of bullying victimization during primary school and early secondary school. Children who experienced frequent victimization at both time points were classed as “chronic victims” and were found to have an increased risk for mental health problems and academic difficulties compared to children who were bullied only in primary school, children bullied for the first time in secondary school, and never-bullied children. Biometric analyses revealed that stability in victimization over this period was influenced primarily by genetic and shared environmental factors. Regression analyses showed that children's early characteristics such as preexistent adjustment difficulties and IQ predicted chronic versus transitory victimization. Family risk factors for chronic victimization included socioeconomic disadvantage, low maternal warmth, and maltreatment. Our results suggest that bullying intervention programs should consider the role of the victims' behaviors and family background in increasing vulnerability to chronic victimization. Our study highlights the importance of widening antibullying interventions to include families to reduce the likelihood of children entering a pathway toward chronic victimization.

The article contains the results of a study of school motivation and adaptation to school in younger students. The subjects were first-grade students, their teacher, and parents. Analysis of the results revealed students with problems in educational motivation and manifestations of school maladjustment, which can serve as both a cause and a consequence of problems in the psychological safety of students.
