The article highlights the results of an experimental study on the formation of prosocial behavior among out-of-school students of their teenage and adolescent years. The dynamics of development of prosocial behavior is determined; the reliability of the revealed changes is established to confirm the effectiveness of the conducted psycho-correctional work. This article is an experimental continuation of the first stage of the study of teens and adolescents’ prosocial behavior. The results of the experimental study show the dynamics of changes before and after the formative experiment on the levels of empathy, the components of altruism and selfishness in the experimental and control groups. Changes in types and norms of teens and adolescents’ prosocial orientation of behavior are analyzed. After the experiment it was found out that the level of empathy and altruism is statistically higher among the students of their teenage and adolescent years in the experimental group than in the control one. It is noted that the system of psycho-correctional measures promotes the development and increase of empathy and altruism among teenagers and adolescents. Significant differences among the types and norms of teenage and adolescent students’ prosocial behavior before and after the experiment are identified. It is proved that teenagers and adolescents show less dominance of altruistic motives in behavior when there is a necessity to provide assistance in public. The level of altruism increases under the possibility of selfless and charitable assistance. It is concluded that the results of the approbation have testified to the effectiveness of the developed program of prosocial behavior formation in students of out-of-school institutions.

Младшие школьники зачастую формируют свои познавательные интересы на основе внешнего воздействия. При этом направленность познавательных интересов определяется уже не столько педагогическим уклоном, как возможностью оказания помощи в выборе дальнейшей структуры обеспечения имплементации в структуре школьного обучения. Авторы отмечают, что способствовать возможности активизации познавательной способности возможно на основе внеурочной деятельности. В статье рассматривается опытно-экспериментальная работа по организации внеурочной деятельности, направленной на развитие познавательных интересов младших школьников. Определяется, что наблюдается более высокий уровень развития познавательного интереса у обучающихся экспериментальной группы. Авторами выделено, что различия между экспериментальной и контрольной группами значимы более чем на 0,05. Авторы сравнивают результаты, которые были получены до и после проведения эксперимента. Выявлено, что на начальном этапе эксперимента в контрольной и экспериментальной группах были примерно равные показатели. Авторы приходят к выводу о том, что разработанная модель развития познавательного интереса младших школьников во внеурочной деятельности является теоретически обоснованной и подтвержденной практически. Авторы показывают, что внеурочная деятельность может быть дополнительно рассмотрена как основа для интеграции концепции устойчивого образования. Younger students often form their cognitive interests based on external influences. At the same time, the orientation of cognitive interests is no longer determined so much by the pedagogical bias as by the possibility of assisting in choosing a further structure for ensuring implementation in the structure of school education. The authors note that it is possible to promote the possibility of activating cognitive ability on the basis of extracurricular activities. The article deals with experimental work on the organization of extracurricular activities aimed at the development of cognitive interests of primary school students. It is determined that there is a higher level of development of cognitive interest in the students of the experimental group. The authors found that the differences between the experimental and control groups were significant by more than 0.05. The authors compare the results obtained before and after the experiment. It was revealed that at the initial stage of the experiment, the control and experimental groups had approximately equal indicators. The authors come to the conclusion that the developed model of the development of cognitive interest of primary school students in extracurricular activities is theoretically justified and practically confirmed. The authors show that extracurricular activities can be further considered as a basis for integrating the concept of sustainable education.

Abstract Implementation of demonstration method in the teaching of chemistry is assigned as the right strategy to improve students’ achievement as it is proved that the method can bring an abstract concept to reality in the class. The study is conducted to vocational high school students in SMKN1 Pargetteng getteng Sengkut Pakfak Barat at accademic year 2013. The teaching has been carried out three cycles on the teaching of chemistry topic of colloid system. In the study, the class is divided into two class, experiment class and control class. The demontration method is used to teach students in experimental class while the teaching in control class is conducted with lecture method. Both are evaluated by using multiple choise tests before and after the teaching procedures, and the ability of students to answer the problems are assigned as students’ achievements. The results showed that demonstration method improved students’ achievement in chemistry. The students in experimental class who are taughed with demonstration method (M=19.08±0.74) have higher achievements compare with control class (M=12.91±2.52), and both are significantly different (tcalculation 22.85 > ttable 1.66).

For Iraqi EFL learners who are studying English pronunciation in a traditional instruction method often requires more effort and hard work. Thus, using new methods of teaching such as the flipped classroom model (FCM) is necessary to facilitate learning and improve performance. Hence, this study reports on explanatory research that investigates the effect of using the FCM in the teaching of English pronunciation for Iraqi EFL learners at the university level. The study implemented mixed research methods for data collection in a quasi-experimental analysis. Therefore, two tests were conducted on the assigned groups to measure the effect of the FCM before and after the intervention. Besides, a questionnaire and interviews were used on the experiment group students to collect data about their perceptions of the FCM. The study length (lasted)  was 15 weeks and is comprised of 60 students from the department of English, College of Arts at the University of Anbar. The students were divided into two groups, experimental, and control with 30 students in each group. The findings revealed that there was a significant statistical difference between the two groups in favour of the experimental group with better performance, indicating that the FCM has considerably assisted the Iraqi EFL learners to improve their English pronunciation. Moreover, the students expressed their positive feedback and satisfaction on the use of the FCM in their responses to the questionnaire and the interviews. As such, the current study recommends further research to study the effect of applying the FCM in areas and disciplines other than language learning.

BackgroundWhilst there is evidence to suggest paramedics experience significant stress when working in the ambulance setting little is known about the experiences of first year paramedic students. This research aimed to: (i) identify whether levels of stress, anxiety and depression experienced by first year paramedic students changed after ambulance placement compared to a control group, and (ii) identify the main perceived and actual sources of stress around ambulance placement.MethodsA before-and-after quasi-experimental design was used to compare whether the experience of ambulance placement altered the levels of stress, anxiety and depression in an experimental group that attended an ambulance placement (n = 20) and the control group who did not (n = 10). Online surveys encompassing the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and qualitative questions about sources of stress were concurrently deployed to both the experimental and control groups before and after the ambulance placement. Participants were first year paramedic students working in Queensland Ambulance Service, Australia.ResultsThere was a significant reduction in levels of stress in participants after undertaking their first ambulance placement (Mdn = -4.00) when compared to a control group (Mdn = 0.00), U = 52.5, p = .035, n2 = 0.15. Responses to survey questions suggest anticipation about experiencing death and dying of patients was the most frequently reported stressor of student paramedics before undertaking ambulance placements, however insecurity about knowledge, competence and fear of failure was the most frequently experienced stressor reported after completing ambulance placements.ConclusionsThe findings from this study suggest that the fear of the unknown may be worse than the reality. Anticipatory stress is the foremost problem for first year paramedic students attending their first ambulance placement. Placement pre-briefing should focus on educational interventions to build knowledge and skills competency to reduce stress levels and fear of failure.
