The Impact

The article presents results of an empirical research of cognitive, affective (emotional) and behavioral components of ecological consciousness in 323 children of preschool and primary school age (6—10 years).It was found that preschool age children underestimate the impact of nature on man, but at the same time overestimate the human impact on nature. Children of this age attributed greater importance to being emotionally close with nature than children of primary school age. When choosing between the industrial, social or natural environment, children of both age groups give preference to the natural environment, leaving the industrial one the least preferred. The outcomes of this research were used to analyze the development of dialectical thinking (actions of transformation and association) in children of these age groups. As it was revealed, dialectical thinking in children of preschool age is predominantly visual. In primary school children, the visual form is replaced by conceptual and symbolic thinking, although still in an underdeveloped form. The article concludes that the first two years of school education have little influence on the development of dialectical thinking in the part that concerns actions of transformation.

The Impact

Explanations about the surrounding world are of particular significance for children since it is a way for them to learn and cognise the environment. However, Legare (2014) maintains that little is known about the impact of explanations on learning. For the past decade, explanations have been one of the major themes in the studies of cognitive psychology. They aim at answering the key questions: what is the nature of the phenomenon (explanation), what is it composed of, what are its quality criteria, how is it constructed and perceived by children (Lombrozo, 2006). Hence, the aim of the current paper is to explore the ability of pre-school and primary school children to assess the quality of explanations. The aforesaid aim was posed in accordance with the methodology developed by the authors (the methodology was designed with reference to the study of Baum, Danovitch, and Keil (Baum et al., 2008). The research involved 61 children: 20 pre-school children, and 41 primary school children (21 children of the second grade, and 20 children of the fourth grade respectively). The main conclusions of this research are: – children’s ability to assess the quality of explanations increases from pre-school age to the second grade of primary school, yet at this period, it remains unchanged (from the second to fourth grade); – despite that the ability to assess the quality of explanations on familiar and unfamiliar topics differs in both age groups (pre-school and primary school), the differences are not statistically significant. It has been determined that, assessing explanation on familiar and unfamiliar topics, pre-school children and fourth grade pupils are able to distinguish circular explanations on familiar topics in a more similar way than assessing explanations on unfamiliar topics. Moreover, older primary learners are more precise in assessing explanations on familiar rather than unfamiliar topics; – the oldest children (fourth grade learners) choose a noncircular explanation as a better one more knowingly and reasonably. Meanwhile, children of pre-school age and second grade pupils cannot often point out why they have chosen a noncircular explanation; – only older children (mostly fourth grade pupils and several second grade learners) are able to recognise and identify the structure of a circular explanation. The conducted research provides insights into the ability of small children to assess the acquired information. It is noteworthy that the assessment and creation of explanations is one of the mechanisms of learning and development (Bonawitz et al., 2008; Legare, & Lombrozo, 2014). Hence, their impact is obvious: explanations give a basis for learning, whereas prior knowledge is fundamental for explanations (Williams, & Lombrozo, 2013).

The aim of this study is to determine the strategies of pronunciation simplification. The sample of the study consisted of 288 Lithuanian children: 96 preschool age children (4;00–4;11), 95 pre-primary school age children (6;00–6;11) and 97 junior primary school age children (8;00–8;11). The data were collected using a non-word repetition task in Lithuanian.The results of the research have shown that Lithuanian children apply universal strategies of pronunciation simplification, mostly substitution and omission; other strategies such as consonant assimilation, metathesis, sound migration to another syllable and sound addition were much less frequent. Also the results show that children possibly apply associations with real Lithuanian words or their derivational forms.The research has demonstrated that the ability to repeat different structure words is related to the rules of Lithuanian phonotactics. Consonant clusters which are typical of Lithuanian words were pronounced accurately, whereas clusters which are rare in Lithuanian words were simplified in their pronunciation. Age was an important factor in the present study: older children repeated non-words more accurately. Older children have a larger lexicon and eventually develop it further; they learn new consonant clusters, which they are capable to pronounce more accurately.

Введение. Исследуется актуальная проблема реализации педагогического потенциала мультипликации в образовании детей дошкольного и младшего школьного возраста. Представлены этапы развития детской мультипликации, отечественный и зарубежный опыт использования мультипликации в образовательной практике с дошкольниками и младшими школьниками, проблемы влияния мультипликации на детей, перспективы развития педагогического потенциала мультипликации в обучении детей на ступени дошкольного и начального общего образования. Цель – провести теоретическое исследование реализации педагогического потенциала мультипликации в образовании детей дошкольного и младшего школьного возраста. Материал и методы. Материалом для исследования стали отечественные и зарубежные научные источники, которые содержат информацию о становлении мультипликации как вида киноискусства и образовательной технологии, а также результаты изучения проблемы применения мультипликации в воспитательной, образовательной и коррекционно-развивающей работе с детьми дошкольного и младшего школьного возраста. Использовались следующие методы: ретроспективный, сравнительно-сопоставительный анализ, контент-анализ, анализ и обобщение педагогического опыта, классификация. Результаты и обсуждение. Применение мультипликации в образовании связано с эволюцией ее образных средств (движение, время, пространство, цвет, графика и др.), в соответствии с этим можно выделить два основных этапа: первый – классический (докомпьютерный) и второй – современный (с применением компьютерных технологий). На первом этапе происходит становление мультипликации как вида киноискусства, в образовательной практике используются мультфильмы, созданные по мотивам народных и авторских сказок, басен, детских литературных произведений, а также мультфильмы с выраженным познавательным и дидактическим содержанием. Второй этап в развитии детской мультипликации связан с применением компьютерных технологий. Педагогический потенциал компьютерной анимации заключается в наглядности, воздействии выразительных средств анимации на восприятие учебного материала, интерактивности. Сформировались основные направления применения мультипликации в образовании: воспитание, обучение, творческая деятельность, коррекция, реабилитация. В настоящее время образовательная мультипликация представляет обобщающее название группы технологий, объединенных использованием анимации как образовательного инструмента и способствующих достижению образовательных результатов (личностных, метапредметных, предметных). В то же время существуют проблемы влияния современной мультипликации на детей. Мультфильмы с негативным содержанием (сцены убийства, насилия и т. п.) приводят к изменению поведения ребенка, появляются агрессивность, грубость, жестокость, эгоизм. Приоритетной задачей является разработка образовательного контента с использованием современного потенциала мультипликации для обучения, развития у детей и подростков навыков коммуникации, социализации, медиамышления и медиакультуры. Заключение. Перспективы развития педагогического потенциала детской мультипликации заключаются в создании целостной комплексной системы развивающего обучения на ступени дошкольного и начального общего образования с использованием мультипликации как образовательного инструмента. Introduction. The actual problem of realization of pedagogical potential of animation in education of preschool and primary school age children is investigated. The article presents the stages of development of children’s animation, domestic and foreign experience of using animation in educational practice with pre-school and primary schoolchildren, the problems of influence of animation on children, the prospects of development of pedagogical potential of animation in teaching children at the level of pre-school and primary general education. Material and methods. The materials for the research were domestic and foreign scientific sources, which contain information about the formation of animation as a kind of film art and as an educational technology, the results of the study of the problem of applying animation in educational, educational and correctional development work with children of preschool and primary school age. The following methods were used: retrospective, comparative analysis, content analysis, analysis and generalization of pedagogical experience, and classification. Purpose: to conduct a theoretical study of the implementation of the pedagogical potential of animation in the education of children of preschool and primary school age. Results and discussion. The application of animation in education is connected with the evolution of its figurative means (movement, time, space, color, graphics, etc.), in accordance with this, two main stages can be distinguished: the first – classical (pre-computer) and the second – modern (using computer technologies). The first stage is the formation of animation as a kind of film art, in educational practice used cartoons created on the basis of folk and author’s tales, fables, children’s literary works, as well as cartoons with a pronounced cognitive and didactic content. The second stage in the development of children’s animation involves the use of computer technology. The pedagogical potential of computer animation lies in the visualization and impact of expressive means of animation on the perception of educational material and interactivity. The main directions of animation application in education were formed: education, training, creative activity, correction, rehabilitation. Nowadays, educational animation represents a generalizing name of a group of technologies united by the use of animation as an educational tool and contributing to the achievement of educational results (personal, metaproject, subject). At the same time, there are problems with the impact of modern animated products on children. Cartoons with negative content (scenes of murder, violence, etc.) lead to changes in the behavior of the child, there is aggression, rudeness, cruelty, selfishness. The priority task is to develop educational content using the modern potential of animation for learning, developing communication, socialization, media and media culture skills in children and adolescents. Conclusion. The prospects for developing the pedagogical potential of children’s animation are to create a holistic integrated system of developing education at the level of preschool and primary general education using animation as an educational tool.

Physical activity is of particular importance in the early stages of ontogenesis during the development and formation of the child's body. At the same time, recognizing the variability of motor activity in children of a healthy population, its assessment in the understanding of the norm is presented as an average indicator of the daily number of locomotions for a certain age and gender group, which does not allow us to fully characterize the individual typological features of this function. In this regard, the use of signal parametric scales is very controversial and new approaches to solving this problem are required. The aim of the work is to conceptually develop the centile distribution and partial density of motor activity in older preschoolers and younger schoolchildren in a healthy population with the identification of typological variants of individual norms and criteria for pre - nosological diagnosis of hyper-and hypokinesia. Materials and methods. 840 children of health groups I-II were examined (boys of senior preschool age-222 and primary school age-250; girls of senior preschool age-181 and primary school age-187). The study included the use of pedometry and visual assessment of children's behavior by teachers and parents. A personalized database was created based on the survey results. To identify differences in the level of distribution of a typical trait – habitual motor activity (HMA), a nonparametric test was used, taking into account Pearson's χ2 criterion. The functional type of constitution (FTC) was determined in accordance with a three – component scheme based on the level of habitual motor activity: low – LHMA-FTC–1, medium – MHMA–FTC–2 and high –HHMA-FTC–3. To solve this problem, we developed centile tables based on the daily number of locomotives (SCL) - the HMA level. At the same time, tables are proposed for the centile distribution of SCL both for the entire population of preschool and primary school children, and for children with low and high motor activity. Results. Analysis of the data and on this basis developed normative tables of centile distribution of motor activity (MA) allow typing of it is high enough differences among senior preschool children and Junior schoolchildren of the healthy population with the estimated number of daily locomotion (very low, low, medium, high, very high), to allocate the risk group of I order (up to the 3-rd centile and 97-th centile) and II (from the 3-rd to the 10-th centile and the 90-th to 97-th centile), and also give an objective description of the daily number of locomotions of each individual with the identification of such concepts as "optimal motor activity", "constitutional hypokinesia" and "constitutional hyperkinesia". Partial assessment of motor activity, taking into account the centile distribution of the number of daily locomotions in each constitutional group, provides additional opportunities to more reasonably approach the analysis of a critical (pre-nosological) decrease or increase in the optimality of motor activity in children with low and high MA. Conclusions. Senior preschool children and Junior school children of health groups I-II have their own individual and typological basic level of motor activity, which requires a comparative clinical and physiological analysis of the available data with the standard norm characteristic of each constitutional group (LHMA-FTC–1, MHMA-FTC–2, HHMA-FTC–3). Taking into account this approach, the development of normative (centile) tables of motor activity allows us to give not only a quantitative assessment of the basic variability of the physiological individuality of the child's body, but also to identify criteria for pre-nosological diagnosis of fairly common deviations in pediatric practice-hypokinesia and hyperactivity.
