It is proved in the article that personality had to be able to think, constructing logical reasoning with the help of concepts, judgments and inferences, and the ability to interact constructively with others, working in a team, to succeed in the society. The content and structure of social success of a child of primary school age are presented. This concept is proposed as an integrated quality, which consists of three components: motivational, instrumental and emotional and behavioral. The motivational component is characterized by the presence of the need for knowledge, the desire to succeed. The instrumental component covers three components: cognitive (systematized program knowledge; developed conceptual, divergent, critical thinking); operational (intellectual, intellectual and cognitive, research, intellectual and creative skills); evaluative and effective (reflection and adequate self-esteem). The emotional and behavioral component of social success of junior high school students is represented by the following components: value (presence of value orientations), emotiona and volitional (developed emotional intelligence, respect, sensitivity to others, self-control, volitional qualities), communicative (developed social intelligence). Psychological and pedagogical conditions are characterized as a mechanism of formation of social success of a child of primary school age in the process of studying in the Institutions of general secondary education (IGSE), namely: dominance of problem searching dialogue between teachers and students and between students in the educational process of primary classes; implementation of the course “Logic” in the educational process of primary school in 2–4th classes and tasks related to the content of the course “Logic” on lessons in Humanities and Natural Sciences and Mathematics cycles; creating tasks for joint learning activities, providing “I am – the inclusion” of each pupil in joint work. The mission of the course “Logic” in the content of primary education is described; the techniques of organization and implementation of problem searching dialogue between the subjects of the educational process, the organization of educational activities in a team are revealed.

A decade ago, Computational Thinking (CT) and coding were typically considered part of the secondary education programs, as the focus was on programming and algorithm development. The early childhood classroom was not exactly the area expected to find students-developed coding skills. But as has been the case lately, CT and coding have been characterized as fundamental skills of the 21st century, not only for computer scientists but for all citizens. Yet, through the application of developmentally appropriate technologies, the development of coding skills is increasingly possible, and the result may be the advancement of CT fluency or at least familiarity in young age children. Given the enormous success of smart mobile devices and accompanying mobile apps the rationale for this chapter is to investigate if there are apps that provide the children of preschool and pre-primary school age with opportunities to cultivate their foundational coding and CT skills.

Introduction: The search for ways to improve the effectiveness of correctional work in the context of inclusion through the development of polymodal perception is relevant in special psychology and pedagogy. Most often, inclusive education covers students with severe speech disorders (SSD) and mental retardation (MR). The disadvantages of the polymodal perception in these categories of children are noted by various researchers, whose recommendations relate mainly to differentiated special education. The paper aims to analyze and generalize scientific ideas about the problem of developing polymodal perception in 6-11-year-old children with SSD and MR and offer adequate approaches to solving it in terms of inclusion. Materials and methods: The research relies on scientific publications made by the author as well as the studies by other scientists covering experimental studies of the sensory-perceptual sphere of a person in various age ranges. General scientific and comparative-historical methods were used to fulfill the objectives set. Results of the study: The negative characteristics of the individual structure of polymodal perception in children with disabilities with preserved intelligence of senior preschool and primary school age, which were identified in various studies, are analyzed and generalized. The findings reveal a general pattern, which lies in the fact that students with SSD and MR in an age range of 6-11 years often show shortcomings of polymodal (joint, interconnected) perception, despite conventionally healthy visual, auditory, and tactile-kinesthetic (sensory-motor) analyzers, when medical and other individual examinations do not find significant pathologies in their functioning. These shortcomings cause inadequate processing of received information and reduce the quality of the educational process. A multisensory method of providing educational information is proposed, which most fully implements the principle of maximum reliance on polymodal afferentations, which facilitates the perception of program content and at the same time contributes to its improvement in children with disabilities. The paper shows the possibilities of using this method in the inclusive educational process. Conclusion: This paper can be useful to special psychologists, speech therapists, speech pathologists, and other teachers who work with children of senior preschool and primary school age with SSD and MR. Keywords: Polymodal perception, severe speech disorders (SSD), mental retardation (MR), multisensory method of information delivery, systemic speech disorders, speech therapy conclusion.

This paper aims to highlight the importance and the possibilities of developing creativity and creative thinking in mathematics instruction. One of the key tasks of the educational process in schools is the stimulation and development of students' creative abilities. Students' creative abilities and divergent forms of working with them are not restricted to specific areas and fields of human activity; rather, it is a matter of the specific and distinctive qualities of the development of creativity and creative expression in certain areas, or school subjects. The paper examines the need and the possibilities of developing creative thinking in children of primary school age and in mathematics instruction in the lower and upper grades of primary school, since creativity is not linked exclusively to art or certain fields or school subjects, nor is it the privilege only of gifted and talented children and students.
