The article considers the essence of the concept of mental activity, analyzes the problem of human thinking, shows the role of building tasks in the formation of mental activity of secondary school students. The main feature of the construction tasks is that they develop search skills for solving problems, introduce them to feasible independent research, contribute to the development of geometric representations and the processing of knowledge, skills, thereby strengthening not only the applied orientation of geometry teaching, but also the polytechnic one. Construction tasks do not allow a formal approach to them, they create a problematic situation that needs to be solved, as a result of which the level of mental activity increases. Pedagogical experience shows that due to lack of time, teachers do not see the need to return to the construction tasks, and school textbooks pay little attention to the construction tasks, so elective classes and elective seminars on this topic are necessary. The optimal number of classes should be 10 hours, especially for grades 7-9. The authors tested their own methodology (ascertaining, forming and control stages) among students of the 7th grade of one of the schools in Uralsk.

Verbal Bullying

The article explores the current problem of using obscene language as a tool for verbal bulling, and provides empirical material for the connection between verbal bulling at school and the active obscene vocabulary of parents addressed to children and in the presence of children. The theoretical bases for our study were the works of D. Olveus, J. Devoy, S. Kafenberger, who laid the foundations for the development of the problem of school bulling, as well as the methodology of subject-action approach and the concept of the subject of mental activity developed by V. Tatenko. In accordance with this goal, we investigated the manifestations of verbal bulling behavior in the high school. It was found that high school students most often use obscene language as a tool of verbal bullying. The article also outlines some of the peculiarities of using obscene language as verbal bullying in the environment of high school students. It was established that parents of the students often use verbal harassment and obscene language as a tool to influence a child's behavior in the family environment. Of all the high school students surveyed, 66 % of the students questioned indicated that parents were using obscene language at home, and 48 % of parents questioned were also positive about using verbal bulling of their children. We investigated what kind of obscene words were used as insults of children by the parents, identified and classified them. We established that personal insults were performed on regular basis, and the emotional reactions of children were so acute that 1.5 % of high school students were having suicidal thoughts. That means that for some students the family is the place where they are bulled and verbally abused. We used the concepts of «subject of mental activity» and «system of substantive intuitions» to determine the depth of psychological trauma. It was established that emotional reactions to family bulling are entrenched in the behavior of children and become the basis for the realization in the school of the bullying roles of a victim, a buller and observers.

Summary: This article describes a triarchic analysis of an aptitude-treatment interaction in a college-level introductory-psychology course given to selected high-school students. Of the 326 total participants, 199 were selected to be high in analytical, creative, or practical abilities, or in all three abilities, or in none of the three abilities. The selected students were placed in a course that either well matched or did not match their pattern of analytical, creative, and practical abilities. All students were assessed for memory, analytical, creative, and practical achievement. The data showed an aptitude-treatment interaction between students' varied ability patterns and the match or mismatch of these abilities to the different instructional groups.

Cognitive Framework

Summary The German Pupils Academy (Deutsche Schüler-Akademie) is a summer-school program for highly gifted secondary-school students. Three types of program evaluation were conducted. Input evaluation confirmed the participants as intellectually highly gifted students who are intrinsically motivated and interested to attend the courses offered at the summer school. Process evaluation focused on the courses attended by the participants as the most important component of the program. Accordingly, the instructional approaches meet the needs of highly gifted students for self-regulated and discovery oriented learning. The product or impact evaluation was based on a multivariate social-cognitive framework. The findings indicate that the program contributes to promoting motivational and cognitive prerequisites for transforming giftedness into excellent performances. To some extent, the positive effects on students' self-efficacy and self-regulatory strategies are due to qualities of the learning environments established by the courses.

Abstract This study investigated the discriminant validation of the Test of Reading Performance (TORP), a new scale designed to evaluate the reading performance of elementary-school students. The sample consisted of 181 elementary-school students drawn from public elementary schools in northern Greece using stratified random procedures. The TORP was hypothesized to measure six constructs, namely: “letter knowledge,” “phoneme blending,” “word identification,” “syntax,” “morphology,” and “passage comprehension.” Using standard deviations (SD) from the mean, three groups of students were formed as follows: A group of low achievers in reading (N = 9) including students who scored between -1 and -1.5 SD from the mean of the group. A group of students at risk of reading difficulties (N = 6) including students who scored between -1.5 and -2 SDs below the mean of the group. A group of students at risk of serious reading difficulties (N = 6) including students who scored -2 or more SDs below the mean of the group. The rest of the students (no risk, N = 122) comprised the fourth group. Using discriminant analyses it was evaluated how well the linear combination of the 15 variables that comprised the TORP could discriminate students of different reading ability. Results indicated that correct classification rates for low achievers, those at risk for reading problems, those at risk of serious reading problems, and the no-risk group were 89%, 100%, 83%, and 97%, respectively. Evidence for partial validation of the TORP was provided through the use of confirmatory factor analysis and indices of sensitivity and specificity. It is concluded that the TORP can be ut ilized for the identification of children at risk for low achievement in reading. Analysis of the misclassified cases indicated that increased variability might have been responsible for the existing misclassification. More research is needed to determine the discriminant validation of TORP with samples of children with specific reading disabilities.

Abstract This study follows muscle activity in three different learning sessions (computer, language laboratory, and normal classroom) while students were studying foreign languages. Myoelectric activity was measured in 21 high school students (10 girls, 11 boys, age range 17-20 years) by surface electromyography (sEMG) from the upper trapezius and frontalis muscles during three 45-min sessions. Root mean square (RMS) average from both investigated muscles was calculated. The EMG activity was highest in both muscle groups in the computer-aided session and lowest in the language laboratory. The girls had higher EMG activity in both investigated muscle groups in all three learning situations. The measured blood pressure was highest at the beginning of the sessions, decreased within 10 min, but increased again toward the end of the sessions. Our results indicate that the use of a computer as a teaching-aid evokes more constant muscle activity than the traditional learning situations. Since muscle tension can have adverse health consequences, more research is needed to determine optimal classroom conditions, especially when technical aids are used in teaching.

Nonsuicidal Self Injury

Abstract. Background: Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) has been found to be associated with poor emotion regulation. Aims: The goal of this study was to examine the association of multidimensional cognitive emotion regulation strategies with NSSI among adolescents and compare the different patterns of NSSI. Method: A sample of 594 high-school students (54.4% boys; mean age = 14.96 years), from five regional schools across Israel, were assessed for five facets of cognitive emotion regulation strategies (acceptance, refocus on planning, positive refocusing, putting into perspective, and positive reappraisal) and NSSI behaviors using validated scales. Participants were allocated into three groups: repetitive NSSI (more than six occasions of NSSI; 7.1%), occasional NSSI (at least one incident but less than six; 8.3%), and no NSSI (84.6%). Results: Analysis of covariance, controlling for gender and depression symptoms, revealed that students with NSSI reported higher levels of acceptance, but lower levels of refocus on planning and putting into perspective. Limitations: The study used a cross-sectional design, which was a limitation. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that particular cognitive emotion regulation strategies differ substantially in their relationship with NSSI. Adolescents who focus on planning and putting stressful situations into perspective may have increased resilience, whereas adolescents who are accepting of negative events that have happened may be more prone to maladaptive coping behaviors.
