Contemporary children live in a digital era and it is almost impossible for them not to be tempted by technologies. This article presents some interesting results from Bulgarian project „Digital Competencies and Media Education at Pre-school and Primary School Age” (National Science Fund; Н05/8 14.12.2016). In 2018 there were interviewed 637 children from 13 Bulgarian towns. The focus in this article is only 8 years old students and their digital habits. The author is a Member of the team of the COST project ‘Digital literacy and multimodal practices of young children’ (Action IS1410) – DigiLitEY. In March 2019 in Manchester on the final project’s meeting of DigiLitEY were presented results connect ed with the key participants for this COST’s project – up to 8 years old students. This article analyses this aged group and their attitudes of digital technologies.

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.

This study provided the opportunity to determine the origin of fear causes of primary school age children, to reveal the reasons and statistics of accidents at open water, to identify factors fear of open water of primary school age children. The article indicates signs of the most important physical symptoms associated with the fear of open water. Methodical recommendations developed to overcome fears at the initial stage of swimming lessons in open water based on the principles of psychological impact on the minds of everyone as well as the use of innovative techniques while swimming.
