In order to create one’s own model of world cognition, a child acquires information from the environment created around him/her, which ensures the development of child’s explorative activity by arousing interest and curiosity, that later, in its turn, create the basis for learning motivation. Child’s explorative activity is a means to cognize the world that has been essentially influenced by the environment created by adults. The problem arises, if adults do not understand child’s activities that develop understanding about the world around. As a result, unreasonable criticism and evaluation from the adult’s point of view can be observed. Thus, it is important to clarify how the environment created by adults influence explorative activity of a child and what are the facilitating and delaying factors. The article reveals the theoretical findings based on pedagogical and psychological research (M.Osorin, H.Gudjon, R.Hart, I.Malkin-Pih, N.Podiakov, T.Amabile, D.Liegeniece) on explorative activity of preschool age children, as well as the pedagogical observation of the author.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to understand the play of the preschool child undergoing oncological treatment through dramatic therapeutic play. A total of five preschool age children with cancer participated in the dramatic therapeutic play sessions, between January and May 2013. The material was analyzed using the framework of phenomenology: analysis of the structure of the phenomenon in place. The following categories emerged from the sessions: Immersing oneself in the world of the disease and the oncological treatment; and Remembering the world without the disease. The study learned that becoming ill with cancer is a process which generates pain and suffering for the child, leading her to feel small and fragile in the face of the discomforts of the numerous procedures to which she is subjected. Therapeutic play was an important resource for revealing how the child with cancer feels during the treatment, and showed the children's difficulty in interacting with the unknown, and how this difficulty makes the balance between the points of health and illness complex.

Peculiarities of representations of family concept in senior preschool-age children are considered in the article. The authors of the article define representations as a certain vision of the world and relationships in it that help an individual to adapt to the world around him. According to the authors, the style of child-parent relations has an impact on the formation of a child’s ideas about family. As a result of empiric research, the authors come to the conclusion that the personality-centred style of child-parent relationship fosters ideas of positive family relations in senior preschool-age children. The tolerant type of child-parent relations determines the formation of the concept of neutral family relations in older preschool children. The ego-isolated style of child-parent relationships contributes to the formation of negative ideas about family relationships in senior preschool children. The empirical research has shown the predominance of ideas about positive family relationships in senior preschool children. In general, children of senior preschool age include family members, people and animals who live together with the child in the representation of the family, describe joint recreation and pastime, note the care of themselves as a child and characterize the features of emotional relationships between themselves and other family members. All three types of family concepts’ representations are manifested both in boys and girls. It is possible to trace the tendency of the predominance of ideas about negative family relations in boys, the predominance of ideas about neutral family relations in girls of senior preschool age.

Theoretical Considerations

It is generally accepted that education in the field of physics is possible only when one has received sufficient grounds for it. But physics is an attempt to understand the world around us. Everything one needs to study physics is an open mind and willingness to learn. It is also commonly thought that preschool-age children have a natural curiosity to figure out how the world functions. They focus not only on people but also on objects which they touch, taste, smell, throw into water, etc. Therefore, physics may be introduced as early as in kindergarten. Experiments in physics conducted together with a preschool group activate all analyzers, facilitate a more complete understanding of curricular contents, allow children to discover answers independently and to formulate conclusions. The research presents theoretical considerations regarding the nature of the class of physics conducted with preschool-age children and examples of practical solutions corresponding to physics-related activities performed in a group of 6-year-olds in the Self-Government Kindergarten at the School Complex in Łomazy. Keywords: natural curiosity, physics education, preschool education, 6-year-old child.

The view that poetry is one means of expressing various ideas, thoughts,and feelings applies on both adult poetry and poetry for children, which isnowadays increasingly written and published in, among others, magazines andnewspapers. Today such poetry is also written by children themselves. A study onsixty-five poems for children sampled from the Kompas daily Sunday editions of2005 has revealed that almost all of the poetry has been written by children, with3.1%, 78.5%, and 9.2% of them being, respectively, kindergarten, elementaryschool, and junior high school children (though another 9.2% of them areunidentifiable).The themes of the poems are quite various and all reflect the world ofchildren revealed through their point of view. However, there are certain recurringthemes: nature and the environment, parents and teachers, and animals, all ofwhich indicate children’s closeness to them. Other themes also found are, amongothers, sports and toys, others’ good deed, religiosity, money saving, and honesty.Generally the tone is didactic though the child writer means to invite or urge to dosomething. It indicates the children’s innocence and directness of mind and way ofthinking. Their teachers at school or their parents at home often tell them directly todo something and they just re-express it in the same manner. In poetic aspects, anumber of the poems seem good enough but a part of the others still do not seem tobe already well processed, especially in terms of word choice.Keywords : children’s literature, children’s poetry, child writer, themes ofchildren’s poetry

Chemical Experiment

Experiments carried out by children are highly instructive adventures that develop interest in science. Nothing motivates a child to learn physics or chemistry more than experimentation. Supervised by their teachers, using safe reagents, chemical glass, and other equipment required to conduct experiments, “Little Scientists” discover the laws of physics and chemistry. Experimenting favors a search for answers to the most basic questions; it helps children see the magic of science and discover the secrets of the world around them. Contrary to the common opinion, holding that physical or chemical experiments may be introduced at the beginning of primary school at the earliest, preschool-age children are already prepared for such activities. The article presents a chemical experiment concerning sugar detection conducted by 6-year-olds. Research was performed to determine whether making chemical experiments has an impact on the level of children’s knowledge about sugars. The study included 20 children who carried out chemical experiments in four parallel groups. The level of knowledge was tested twice: first prior to the experiment and then following the experiment. The analysis of the data obtained demonstrated that after the experiment the level of children’s knowledge about sugars increased significantly, as evidenced by the t-Student Test outcomes.

The article characterizes the essence of the concepts of “competence”, “speech competence”, “communicative and speech competence”. Separation of the essence of these concepts gave grounds to consider the terminological phrase “formation of communicative and speech competence of preschool age children” as a complex purposeful process of forming an individual integrative quality of the child’s personality, which is determined by the ability to use language correctly and unmistakably in everyday life, and takes place as a result of mastering language, extra lingual and intonation means of speech expression. The potential possibilities of using cartoons in forming preschool age children’s communicative and speech competence are analyzed. It is established that a cartoon is close to a child, arouses his interest, allows to qualitatively change the nature of social-communicative interaction. The criteria for selecting cartoons from the point of view of their suitability for use as a means of forming communicative and speech competence of preschool age children are determined, namely: emotional and speech saturation of the plot of the cartoon; correspondence of the cartoon texts structure to the possibilities of children’s perception and understanding, their correlation with children’s experience and past events; dynamism of a cartoon, sharpness and expressive development of the plot, exciting events for the child; brightness, originality, and individuality of the characters’ images – they are remembered; connection of the film with the real life situation of the child, his relationship with the environment; awakening the desire to imitate a positive hero, in particular his nobility and success. The stages of work on cartoons in the context of forming communicative and speech competence of preschool age children are identified: propaedeutic, viewing, reflexive.

The article analyses the fears of preschool age children, with visual impairment, and the fears of their parents. It was aimed to define whether the fears of preschool age children, with vision problems, differ from the fears of the same age children, with no vision problems. The hypothesis was formed that the parental childhood fears can be transmitted to their mature age, and present fears can be transmitted to their children. The results of the research revealed such tendencies as follows: the participating in the research preschool age children, with vision  problems, do not have any exceptional fears, comparing to the children of the same age but with no vision problems; the larger number of fears reflected in those children, whose parents have a high educational level, comparing to the parents, with a lower educational level; children from incomplete families have more fears; mothers used to have less fears in childhood than they have now; the fears, children and some parents have, might have been transmitted from parents to children.
