This article examines the practice of digital literacy in primary school children observed as a result of the development of the information environment and the practice of using electronic assistants established in families on the one hand. On the other hand, as a result of active promotion of distance learning and video classes in the context of COVID-19 pandemics. The aim of the study is to gain new knowledge about the methods of forming digital literacy of primary school children, embedded in educational practice due to the experience brought from families. This allows us to consider the implications of how these methods relate to the emerging learning opportunities within the school curriculum and the level of pedagogical support. Based on Green's original three-dimensional model of literacy and extending it to the digital realm beyond traditional literacy, the article reveals that the practice of digital literacy entails at least four overlapping aspects: operational, cultural, critical, and creative.

In the age of modern and advanced technology, it is observed that sedentarism is characteristic to occupy a wide spectrum of the population from children to the elderly. As for children, they are no longer active when we talk about physical activity both during school hours, but especially in their free time. In this context, the school must encourage the active participation of students in physical activities during the classes included in the school curriculum and after, by offering an attractive variety of extracurricular sports aimed at motivating students, especially those in primary school.

Kenya introduced Digischool to public primary schools to prepare children for today’s digital world attracting a cyber-threat landscape. Utilising a descriptive cross-sectional design within a concurrent mixed approach, the study examined the relationship between digital literacy intervention and online child abuse among primary school children in Langata sub-county. Targeted, were children between 9 and 17 years from private and public primary schools, teachers, parents and policy makers and child protection officers. Godden’s formula informed purposive and random sampling of 384 respondents, plus a 10% (423) respondents for Key Informant interviews and focused discussions. Quantitative and qualitative data was analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics and content analysis with the help of SPSS version 22 and Nvivo version 12 respectively. The study revealed stakeholders intervened in online child abuse at various levels using a number of strategies.  The study revealed a significant relationship between the type of school and exposure to online. Since the p-value (0.000) was less than alpha (0.05) and we conclude there was a significant relationship between the type of school and exposure to online child abuse.  There is need for a systems thinking and concerted multi-sectorial approach to improvement of digital literacy hence protecting children online.

This article presents the results of a survey of parents about distance learning of their children, primary school children, during quarantine. In a sociological study, interviews were conducted with families of third grade students from St. Petersburg schools. The answers to the questions were processed using the Russian computer program “Discant”. As a result of the analysis, six leading thematic leitmotifs for a story about a new educational experience were identified. It was found that the main disadvantages of distance learning are considered by the parents to be the load on the schoolchild’s family, the large expenditure of time, and the discrepancy between teaching methods and the child’s age. According to parents, the advantages of distance education are safety, comfortable schedule, digital educational technologies. Conclusions of the project are the preference of a mixed format for teaching primary school children during quarantine. An empirical research perspective analyzes parental investment in children’s education.

525 kindergarten and Grade 1 primary school children were given three types of equivalent cardination tasks in which the influence of the use of different stimulus configurations was assessed. The tasks were linear, linear-nonlinear, and nonlinear configurations, with a further differentiation in density in the linear-nonlinear tasks. Number reproduction tasks and evoked correspondence tasks were administered and the data compared with those on the linear cardination tasks. Nonlinear tasks were not more difficult than the linear ones and did not support Siegel's 1972 finding. If the elements in the sets of the cardination tasks were spaced apart, performance on the three tasks did not differ significantly. However, the density manipulation produced strong effects. The tasks, in which the elements were spaced closely together, were more difficult than those with elements spaced farther apart. This result does not confirm the work of Gelman and Gallistel and also not Brainerd's statement that the majority of children will judge a more dense set to contain more elements. This is a note-worthy result, because redundant, non-numerical cues (like target area, background area, and brightness) were eliminated in these equivalent-cardination tasks and only the density manipulation could be effective. Number reproduction and evoked correspondence tasks proved easier than the linear cardination tasks, perhaps because in these tasks the use of the one-to-one correspondence was evoked as a strategy to solve the tasks, whereas in the linear cardination tasks no attention was paid to the one-to-one correspondence in the instruction. Implications for understanding the cardination concept development are discussed.
