Purpose: Children in the Republic of Croatia are, as everywhere else in the world, active users of information and communication i.e. digital technologies, which is reflected in their daily habits and routines in the digital environment. The purpose of this paper is to find out if there are gender-based differences in behavior and established habits in the digital environment between boys and girls. Methodology: Quantitative research was carried out using the CAWI method among 400 parents or guardians in the Republic of Croatia who provided answers on (their own) children of primary school age. This paper focuses on the segment of children and their gender, i.e. the existence (or the lack of existence) of differences in the behavior of boys and girls in a digital environment. The statistically significant differences are demonstrated by testing various variables between the two above-mentioned segments. Results: The research results indicate that, on average, girls and boys start to use the Internet at the same age, approximately at the age of 6. However, there are noticeable differences between the sexes in terms of the habits and in the way they use the Internet. Conclusion: The conclusion shows that boys more frequently have desktop computers, laptops, and gaming consoles, and prefer to play online games and spend time in the online world, while girls more often post and publicly share photos, video records, and music. They equally use the Internet on weekdays, but boys spend more time on Internet activities on weekends.

Development Of Attitudes

Experimentation with e-cigarettes has grown rapidly among UK adolescents. To date, this topic has been primarily researched in secondary schools, with less understanding of development of attitudes and behaviours at an earlier age. This research reports qualitative data from interviews with pupils, parents, and teachers at 4 case study schools in Wales (N = 42). It draws on Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory to consider how the intersection of systems surrounding primary school-age children and their interaction with these systems, shape knowledge, and attitudes towards e-cigarettes and tobacco. Findings indicate that consistent messaging on smoking from school and family was reflected in strong disapproval among pupils and clear understanding of harms. This was less evident for e-cigarettes, where messages were mixed and inconsistent between home and school, with concerns over what to tell children about e-cigarettes in light of mixed messages and absence of official guidance. Implications of findings for policy and teaching are discussed.

The article focuses on an important problem stipulated by cardinal changes in the theory and practice of training and education of children of primary school age. Its topicality is caused by the implementation of the New Ukrainian School Concept, the essence of which is to change the teaching methods of primary school children bringing them most closely to play activities that is a characteristic feature of mental and physical development of children in primary school age. Purpose. To clarify the importance of interdisciplinary connections and interdisciplinary integration in Ukrainian language lessons in the primary grades of the New Ukrainian School, to outline some aspects of the realization of the essence and importance of this phenomenon. Methods. Analysis of scientific literature on the problem, generalization and systematization of the collected material, modeling of integrated processes. Result. The article focuses on various aspects of the implementation of integrated interdisciplinary links in Ukrainian language lessons, including elements of classes in language and reading, language and mathematics, language and science, language and computer science, lan-guage and art. Due to the fact that the new curriculum for primary school students offers the introduction of such subjects as “I explore the world”, “I am in the world”, “Environment”, “Health Technologies”, “Natural Science” having an integrated nature in themselves, it allows the primary school teacher to expand the interdisciplinary links of disciplines studied by younger students. Originality. The article emphasizes that modern scholars propose to distinguish between the con- cepts of the “integrated learning” and “interdisciplinary links”, which until recently, were interpreted in the literature as similar phenomena. Based on certain theoretical principles of the integrated and interdisciplinary links, different options for their use in native language lessons in primary school have been proposed.Conclusion. Thus, the teacher should analyze the educational material from the proposed subjects, choose topics that are similar in content and purpose, syn-thesize this material and organically combine educational material.
