The paper introduces the organizational and methodological aspects of extracurricular activities as a necessary condition for the intellectual development of young teenagers, who usually demonstrate a striking imbalance in mathematical, non-science, and technical abilities, as well as a partial decrease in non-verbal abilities. The article describes various psychological and pedagogical approaches to the issue of intellectual abilities. The research objective was to study the forms and methods of organizing extracurricular activities that ensure the intellectual and personality development in 11–13-year-olds. A set of controlled experiments proved their efficiency and demonstrated some intellectual improvement in the test subjects. For instance, the research resulted in an obvious increase in the number of test subjects with a medium level of logical thinking, mathematical skills, speech development, and the ability to compare concepts.

Одной из обязательных частей процесса адаптации личности в социуме считается адаптация обучающихся в образовательном учреждении. Наиболее сложным периодом школьной адаптации можно считать переход ребёнка из начального школьного звена в среднее, который характеризуется новыми условиями, формами обучения и сменой преподавательского состава. Именно в пятом классе к школьнику впервые предъявляется множество различных требований. Кроме того, этот период совпадает с началом раннего подросткового возраста у школьников, считающегося наиболее сложным периодом развития личности. Целью нашего исследования было рассмотреть специфику дополнительного образования как одного из факторов, оказывающего влияние на формирование социально-психологической адаптивности у школьников, и выявить особенности обучения детей младшего подросткового возраста, посещающих внешкольные занятия. В качестве основных методик исследования применялись: «Шкала личностной тревожности» А.М. Прихожан, методика социализированности личности учащегося М.И. Рожкова, «Рисунок социальной сети». Выбор данных методик был обусловлен возрастными особенностями участников исследования и позволил сделать подробный и комплексный анализ их уровня адаптации. Результаты исследования позволили создать рекомендации для психолого-педагогической коррекционной работы, направленные на преодоление адаптационных и коммуникативных сложностей у школьников. One of the mandatory parts of the process of adaptation of a person in society is the adaptation of students in an educational institution. One of the most difficult periods of school adaptation can be considered the transition of a child from primary school to secondary, which is characterized by new conditions, forms of education and a change in teaching staff. It is in the fifth grade that a student is first presented with many different requirements. In addition, this period coincides with the onset of early adolescence in schoolchildren, which is considered the most difficult period in personality development. The aim of the study was to consider the specifics of additional education as one of the factors influencing the formation of socio-psychological adaptability in schoolchildren, and to identify the peculiarities of teaching children of early adolescence who attend extracurricular activities. The main research methods used were: “Scale of personal anxiety” by A.M. Prihozhan, the method of socialization of the student's personality M.I. Rozhkova, "Drawing of a Social Network." The choice of these methods was due to the age characteristics of the study participants and made it possible to make a detailed and comprehensive analysis of their level of adaptation. The results of the study made it possible to create recommendations for psychological and pedagogical correctional work aimed at overcoming adaptive and communicative difficulties in schoolchildren.

The article establishes that creativity is a complex, interdisciplinary problem that attracts the scientific interest of specialists in various fields of knowledge, especially pedagogy and psychology. The purpose of the article is to identify the main aspects of the problem of creativity and to outline the relevant areas of scientific psychological and pedagogical research. It is revealed that creativity is reasonably considered as a universal personality trait, an integral creative ability. Psychological and pedagogical research emphasizes the important place and role of creativity in training and activities. It was found that creativity is mainly associated with creativity and talent of the individual, with the development of his creative abilities. The connection of creativity with other personality traits, in particular with the level of its intellectual development, as well as with imagination, intuition, the need for self-actualization, etc., is being actively developed. It is stated that in the psychological and pedagogical scientific literature the question of at what age one should start work on the formation of creativity or which age is the most favorable for this continues to be discussed. Some scholars argue that the formation of creativity should begin in the early stages of personality development, others believe that especially favorable for the development of creativity is the senior school age. It was found that scientists are interested in the development of creativity in higher education, including pedagogy. Creativity is considered as a component of professional skill. One of the aspects of the problem of creativity and the corresponding direction of psychological and pedagogical research is creative thinking. The issue of creative competence is also being developed. Much of the research on certain issues is devoted to the conditions, methods and technologies of formation and development of creativity. These include creative environment, search and research and invention activities, practical classes, information and communication, interactive (game), design technologies, case method, design, modeling.

Media literacy is recognized as a basic, vital skill for European citizens. It must be formed during life, at all stages of personality development. That is why we have chosen the leading European countries such as Finland, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Spain to analyze the current state of media education. Europe should be at the forefront of media literacy, as historically this region of the world has become the cradle of media civilization, a center for coordinating discussions of philosophical, cultural and technical development of the media. The article deals with the analysis of educational and methodical support of the European system of educators’ media education. The importance of media education of educators as the greatest agents of direct educational influence on the younger generation, whose media education is a requirement of the time, is revealed. The need for the development of non-formal and informal media education of educators is identified, as the media component can take place in any lesson and in extracurricular activities. Common components of the organization system of this process (participants, content, forms, methods, tools) are identified and educational and methodological resources are described, which are publicly available and can be useful to educators regardless of country of residence, citizenship or language.As a result of the research, we made the following conclusions: specialized centers offer a wide range of short-term training courses for teachers of various topics; forms of professional development in media education of teachers are different (distance courses, trainings, seminars, workshops, conferences, educational films, etc.); modern scientific, educational, methodical literature for teachers is available (monographs, professional journals, lesson plans, information packages); non-formal and informal preparation of teachers for media education activities is diverse in content, forms, means and methods, but remains fragmentary, not systematic, which does not allow to solve our issue comprehensively, and therefore it needs further development and critical analysis.

Background Neisseria meningitidis (Nm) pharyngeal carriage is a necessary condition for invasive disease. We present the first carriage study in children in Buenos Aires, Argentina, considering 2017 as a transition year. Aims: to assess the rate of Nm carriage, to determine genogroup, clonal complex and outer membrane protein distribution, to determine carriage risk factors by age. Methods Cross-sectional study including children 1–17 yrs, at Ricardo Gutiérrez Children’s Hospital in Buenos Aires 2017. Oro-pharyngeal swabs were taken and cultured within a short time after collection. Genogroup was determined by PCR and clonal complex by MLST. Categorical variables were analyzed. Results A total of 1,751 children were included. Group 1: 943 children 1–9 yrs, 38 Nm were isolated; overall carriage 4.0%. Genogroup distribution: B 26.3%, W 5.3%, Y 2.6%, Z 5.3%, other groups 7.9% and capsule null (cnl) 52.6%. Participating in extracurricular activities was the only independent predictor of Nm carriage. Group 2: 808 children 10–17 yrs, 76 Nm were isolated; overall carriage 9.4%. Genogroup distribution: B 19.7%, C 5.3%, W 7.9%, Y 9.2%, Z 5.3%, other groups 7.9% and cnl 44.7%. Independent predictors of carriage: attending pubs/night clubs and passive smoking (adjusted OR: 0.55, 95%CI = 0.32–0.93; p = 0.025). Conclusions Overall carriage was higher in 10–17 yrs. The isolates presenting the cnl locus were prevalent in both age groups and genogroup B was the second most frequent.
