The study investigated the influence of white vs 12 background and overlay colours on the reading process in school age children. Previous research reported that colours could affect reading skills as an important factor of the emotional and physiological state of the body. The aim of the study was to assess developmental differences between second and third grade students of elementary school and to evaluate differences in electroencephalography (EEG), ocular, electrodermal activities (EDA) and heart rate variability (HRV). Our findings showed a decreasing trend with age regarding EEG power bands (Alpha, Beta, Delta, Theta) and lower scores of reading duration and eye-tracking measures in younger children compared to older children. As shown in the results, HRV parameters showed higher scores in 12 background and overlay colours among second than third grade students which is linearly correlated to the level of stress and readable from EDA measures as well. The existing study showed the calming effect on second graders in turquoise and blue background colours. Considering other colours separately for each parameter, we assumed that there are no systematic differences in Reading duration, EEG power band, Eye-tracking and EDA measures.

AbstractThe study investigated the influence of white vs 12 background and overlay colours on the reading process in school age children. Previous research reported that colours could affect reading skills as an important factor of the emotional and physiological state of the body and that reading is one of the most important processes in the maturation of children. The aim of the study was to assess developmental differences between second and third grade students of elementary school and to evaluate differences in electroencephalography (EEG), ocular, electrodermal activities (EDA) and heart rate variability (HRV). In the experiment, the responses of 24 children (12 second and 12 third grade students) to different background and overlay colours were summarized using EEG, eye tracking, EDA and HRV signals. Our findings showed a decreasing trend with age regarding EEG power bands (Alpha, Beta, Delta, Theta) and lower scores of reading duration and eye-tracking measures in younger children compared to older children. As shown in the results, HRV parameters showed higher scores in 12 background and overlay colours among second than third grade students which is linearly correlated to the level of stress and readable from EDA measures as well. The existing study showed the calming effect on second graders in turquoise and blue background colours. Considering other colours separately for each parameter, we assumed that there are no systematic differences in Reading duration, EEG power band, Eye-tracking and EDA measures.

This study investigated the influence of white vs. 12 background and overlay colors on the reading process in twenty-four school-age children. Previous research reported that colors could affect reading skills as an important factor in the emotional and physiological state of the body. The aim of the study was to assess developmental differences between second and third grade students of an elementary school, and to evaluate differences in electroencephalography (EEG), ocular, electrodermal activities (EDA) and heart rate variability (HRV). Our findings showed a decreasing trend with age regarding EEG power bands (Alpha, Beta, Delta, Theta) and lower scores of reading duration and eye-tracking measures in younger children compared to older children. As shown in the results, HRV parameters showed higher scores in 12 background and overlay colors among second than third grade students, which is linearly correlated to the level of stress and is readable from EDA measures as well. Our study showed the calming effect on second graders of turquoise and blue background colors. Considering other colors separately for each parameter, we assumed that there are no systematic differences in reading duration, EEG power band, eye-tracking and EDA measures.

Within the school, the child is modeled under all aspects: physical, intellectual, moral, aesthetic, starting from the earliest ages, the school years being defining for his personality formation, now realizing his socialization and preparing for integration into the society. Therefore, the latest resources must be used in order to make the process of motor skills training optimal.(Colibaba-Evuleț, 2007). That is why I propose to study various aspects regarding the improvement of the distributive attention to the children of the third grade, so that we can draw important conclusions for the educational instructional process. The development of the schoolchildren should be carefully designed for all age groups but especially for schoolchildren, who are most likely to experience the positive effects of training in the direction of growth and development of the body.

The Pirquet reaction as the most sensitive method of mass examination plays the main role in the study of tbc infectivity. It is the extreme sensitivity of this reaction that prevents it from serving as a means of judging the spread of tbc: while in children under 3-4 years of age both negative and positive Pirquet reactions have diagnostic value, with the latter usually indicating the presence of tbc disease in a child at a given time, in older children a positive reaction only indicates that the body was once infected with tbc and is fighting the infection, but does not prove that it is now sick.

The present study examined age differences in time-based prospective memory (TBPM) in primary school age children and tested the role of self-initiated memory retrieval and strategic time monitoring (TM) as possible developmental mechanisms. Fifty-four children were recruited from local primary schools (27 younger children, mean age = 7.2 ± 0.55 years, and 27 older children, mean age = 9.61 ± 0.71 years). The task was a driving game scenario in which children had to drive a vehicle (ongoing task) and to remember to refuel before the vehicle runs out of gas (TBPM task, i.e., the fuel gauge served as child-appropriate time equivalent). Fuel gauge was either displayed permanently (low level of self-initiation) or could only be viewed on demand by hitting a button (high level of self-initiation). The results revealed age-dependent TBPM differences with better performance in older children. In contrast, level of self-initiated memory retrieval did not affect TBPM performance. However, strategies of TM influenced TBPM, as more frequent time checking was related to better performance. Patterns of time checking frequency differed according to children’s age and course of the game, suggesting difficulties in maintaining initial strategic TM in younger children. Taken together, the study revealed ongoing development of TBPM across primary school age. Observed age differences seemed to be associated with the ability to maintain strategic monitoring.

The knowledge on geometry are of great importance for the understanding of reality. Spatial notion and geometrical concepts, graphical skills and habits are an important part of the study of geometrical knowledge in elementary school as propedeutics of the system course on geometry in the next school levels. In the recent years, education in Bulgaria follows the trends imposed by the European Union related to the acquiring of some basic key competencies. They promote to the improvement of knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes of students and their more successful social development. From the school year 2016/2017, the education in the Bulgarian schools is in accordance with the new Law on pre-school and school education. Under this law, students are teached under new curriculum and teaching kits for the corresponding class. According to the new curriculum, the general education of the students of I-IV grade, covers basic groups of key competencies. Here, much more attention is paid also to the results of international researches on the students’ performance in mathematics. Primary school students participate in international competitions and Olympiads, which lead to the need of working on more mathematical problems with geometric content of the relevant specific types. This allows to study and use author’s various mathematical problems for teaching geometry. Their purpose is to contribute to the expansion of space notions of the students, to develop their thinking and imagination. This article is dedicated to the application of author’s various mathematical problems and exercises for teaching students from the third grade through which the geometrical knowledge and skills of the students develop and build. The solving of the mathematical problems is realized on a rich visual-practical basis, providing conditions for inclusion of the students in various activities. The proposed various mathematical problems are developed by themes including fully geometric problems and exercises for teaching mathematics to third grade students. Teaching by using the various mathematical problems was held with 149 students from third grade, from five schools - three in Sofia and two in smaller towns, in the school year 2016/2017.
