The World

A fairy tale is the genre which is well represented in preschool education programmes as well as in the curriculum of general primary education. A fairy tale is an important means for developing children's verbal creativity and their logical thinking. A fairy tale stimulates children's imagination, prepares them for the future life in the real world, broadens their horizons, fosters not only moral and ethical values but also the right attitude to the world. Folk tales were not initially created for children. Adults displayed their own mythological ideas about the world, nature and a man by means of these encoded texts. Over time a fairy tale lost its meaning in the life of adults and was transferred to children becoming part of their everyday reading. A child admires a fairy tale, its fantasy, but does not understand everything. «The Cubes of V. Y. Propp» represent the means and the techniques that help the child to understand the structure of a tale, its content, morality and allegory. Y.Propp proved that a fairy tale is illustrative of the fact that there was a system of various taboos in the life of our ancestors. All these prohibitions gradually formed moral and ethical principles, legal rules and laws of human behavior in society. In the structure of a fairy tale, V. Y. Propp names several main elements, the so-called «The Cubes of V. Y. Propp», namely «absentation», «interdiction», «violation of the interdiction», «departure», «first function of the donor», «hero’s reaction», «receipt of a magical agent», «victory», «return», «happy ending». This structure of a fairy tale serves its magical or ritual function, which makes a fairy tale resemble such an archaic genre as an incantation. In a fairy tale like in an incantation, a magical ritual action and a magical verbal formula are intrinsically linked, and therefore in a fairy tale a taboo as well as a potential punishment are often depicted. Y.Propp's schemes clearly show the typical structure, «models of fairy tales», according to which their «building material» can be defined: fairy tales have sets of «cubes», i.e. typical plot elements, situations, taboos and symbolic actions. And this is also the basis for the differentiation of the works of this folklore genre: some fairy texts have the whole set of «cubes», but there is also such a type of fairy tales in which some of the «cubes» are missing with a particular purpose. The article offers an analysis of fairy tales based on the structure of «V. Y. Propp's cubes». Such an analysis of fairy tales will help preschool and primary school students to understand the content of fairy tales, their morality and allegory. Creative tasks with «V. Y. Propp's cubes» will provide children with the clues to independent creativity, which may result in composing their own fairy tales.

Aggressive Reactions

The article provides definitions of aggression, the causes of its occurrence, as well as fairy tale therapy as a means of overcoming aggressive manifestations. A research was conducted to study the psychological characteristics of the aggressive behaviour of younger schoolchildren. The formative linear experiment was used. The method for diagnosing aggression Bass-Darky and Rosenzweig's test of measuring the aggressiveness were carried out. In the aggressive behavior of primary school children is dominated by negative and indirect aggression; verbal and physical aggression are moderately manifested; auto-aggression, insult and suspicion are weakly expressed. More than half of primary schoolchildren have a high level of aggressiveness. In the vast majority of pupils, aggressive reactions are directed to the environment, that is, the orientation of aggression is extrapunitive. In about a quarter of pupils, the orientation of aggression is impunitive, for what happened they attribute the blame to the situation. The weakest expression has the intrapunitive orientation of aggression, when the child considers himself responsible for the event. To overcome the aggressive manifestations of primary schoolchildren, a training program was used, in which therapeutic tales and training exercises were included. If before applying a training program for overcoming agressiveness, aggressive reactions of most younger schoolchildren were directed at others, and they considered others to be responsible for solving the problem, then after implementing the training program the results of the retest show that there has been a sharp increase in the rate of intrapunitive aggression. That is, children began to count, that the solution of the problem depends more on the person, and in case of failure, the person should blame not the other, but own identity. Therapeutic fairy tales are an effective way to overcome the aggressive behaviour of children in educational institutions.

Psychological Features

This article is devoted to the theoretical analysis of the problem of psychological features of the development of creative thinking of children of primary school age. Thinking is characterized as a cognitive process in which objects and phenomena of reality are reflected in their essential features, connections and relationships. Thinking arises on the basis of practical activities of sensory cognition. The difference between thinking and other mental processes is that it is almost always associated with the presence of a problem situation, the task to be solved and the active change of the conditions in which the task is set. The paper reveals the essence of the concept of “creative thinking” and analyzes its criteria. Creative thinking is seen as a type of thinking characterized by the creation of a subjectively new product and new formations in the cognitive activity on the way to its formation. The theory of creative thinking is substantiated, which contains many different approaches to determining its mechanisms and patterns: dialogic, dialectical, critical, reflexive, lateral, positive thinking. The peculiarities of the formation of creative thinking in primary school students are substantiated and the methods of its development are analyzed, namely: the development of students’ independence, their ability to move independently from one stage to another, mastering the ability to find the most rational way to solve non-standard problems. The main methods of research of psychological features of development of creative thinking of junior schoolchildren are analyzed: the technique “Drawing of figures” (modification of the technique of E. Torrens, developed by O. Dyachenko), which is aimed at assessing the abilities of junior schoolchildren to productive imagination (figurative creativity); the method “Invent a game” (according to R. Nemov) is aimed at assessing the flexibility, non-standard, originality of the child in the field of verbal creativity; Renzulli's creativity questionnaire (modified by O. Tunik) allows to diagnose the level of development of creative thinking (creativity) of primary school children by identifying the creative initiative of primary school students by the method of experts.The sample, stages of research are characterized and the received results of studying of psychological features of development of creative thinking of pupils of elementary school are analyzed.

Children who have survived a disaster are the group that suffers the most, they suffer the trauma of the disaster and a deep sense of loss. Therefore, disaster mitigation for children, especially primary school age children, is very important so that they are prepared to face the threat of disasters. The vast territory of Indonesia with a variety of disaster threats faced demands creative ideas so that disaster mitigation messages reach Indonesian children, one of which is the use of fairy tale videos. This study aims to find out the extent to which fairy tales can be used as a disaster mitigation media in developing the readiness of primary school children to face the threat of disaster. This research applies library research methods or literature review to the results of studies and relevant scientific publications. From this study, it shows that video media can significantly influence children's knowledge and attitudes. Disaster mitigation messages that are packaged in the form of fairy tale videos are able to attract the interest of children who are ultimately expected to build their preparedness in facing the threat of disaster.

The peculiarities of a reading at out-of-school hours «defense of a reader’s diary» lesson in the primary school are being considered in the given article on the material of some folk and literary fairy-tales by Sh. Perrault, brothers Grimm, H. Ch. Andersen. A lesson-defense of a reader’s diary is a lesson, based on the work in small groups. It is constructed by means of a self-questioning method according to the material of the fairy-tales, which have been read, and by means of the assessment of other students’ work. A lesson-defense of the reader’s diary is an extremely interesting and efficient type of work, aimed at the development of critical thinking, children’s creative imagination, forming their independent and conscious reading. In advance (a month earlier) the students are given a task, for example, to read some Ukrainian folk fairy-tales of the fairy-tales by Sh. Perrault, brothers Grimm, H. Ch. Andersen and to fill in independently the following columns of a reader’s diary: 1) a column «Author»; 2) a column «Title of the work {a collection, a fairy-tale}; 3) a column «Characters of the fairy-tale»; 4) a column «Questions to the text»; 5) a column «Tricky» questions. The questions to the text presuppose three levels: The questions of the first level begin with the words: Who? What? Where? When? How? Which? These are the questions, aimed at giving some information about who the main character is, where the action is taking place, when the action is taking place. The questions of the second level are aimed at the causal relationships and that is why they begin with the word: Why? The questions of the third level are aimed at clarification of the meaning of the words and expressions, which are difficult for understanding. Forming «tricky questions» is a creative task for the primary school students. «Tricky» questions are the questions aimed at prognostication of the character’s further fate or the further possible development of the events of the fairy-tale’s plot. The readers can create some interesting and wise «tricky» questions, if they compare the logics of a fairy-tale and the logics of the real life. In the process of work at the reader’s diary and its defense the students can consciously and deeply comprehend the content of a tale, think over the fairy tale’s logics, compare it with the real life logics. That would form their attention and instill love to the magic world and word of a fairy-tale.

The tale of G.H. Andersen’s «Ugly Duckling» helps to build self-esteem and the formation of emotional intelligence. It also helps in the search and development of resources from various threats, including cyberbullying. The Ukrainian folk tale «Bunny’s Hut» will help to form important components of cyberimmunity – the child’s ability to defend himself and the ability to ask for help from others.

Methodological peculiarities of creating fairy tales at preschool and primary education institutions have been investigated. The new State Standards for Preschool and Primary Education provide the development of children’s creativity and innovation. The importance of media education is growing due to the development of innovative media products, which is a fairy tale. It has been stressed on creating fairy tales as a component of storytelling. Emphasis has been placed on the fact that the ability to create a fairy tale is one of the learning outcomes of primary school students in accordance with the Typical educational programs. The objective of the article is to substantiate the methods of creating fairy tales as a media educational product of preschool and primary school age children in collaboration with parents and teachers. The following methods have been used to achieve the goal: the analysis of normative documents and pedagogical sources on the research problem; comparative-contrast, generalizations (for comparison of storytelling and creating fairy tales); surveys, interviews (to develop and test the effectiveness of methods of creating fairy tales as a media educational product). The origins of the creating fairy tales by children in the middle of the XXth century have been demonstrated. The common and distinctive features of traditional creating fairy tales and storytelling have been clarified. Contradictions regarding the use of storytelling have been identified, in particular between the growing interest in digital storytelling and the requirements for time-limited contact of children with gadgets and other technical devices. Four stages have been defined in the developed methods. They are the following: 1. Preparatory – choosing a favorite fairy tale. 2. Search – finding a situation in which a child becomes a participant. 3. Implementation – the child’s “entry” into a fairy tale, the design of his/her activities and the role or the profession in a fairy tale. 4. Final – the analysis of the child’s and other characters’ behavior in a fairy-tale situation. The ability to produce creatively media products as an indicator of media literacy formation has been reflected. Specific examples illustrate the ways to transform famous fairy tales into a new way. Emphasis has been placed on media educational tales as a means of media education at preschool and primary education institutions. The advantages of the developed methods of creating fairy tales have been shown: it allows parents, children and kindergarten teachers/teachers in partnership to transform well-known fairy tales in a new way, to implement the function of protection against harmful influences of new media, to strengthen family relations and family ties with preschool and primary education institutions, to improve media culture. The results of a survey of preschoolers’ parents on reading and creating fairy tales have been presented.
