Therefore, using of models in complex and abstract subjects becomes very important.  It provides convenience for the teaching of problems about which students encounter the assosication and concretization in daily life. For this reason, geoscience subjects must be supported by necessary materials and students should be provided by learning by doing. Students benefit from tools such as models and posters to provide permanent and easy learning.</p><p>Geoscience education with models;</p><p>-Provides an understanding events that cannot be detected by five sensory organs.</p><p>-Makes complex topics more understandable.</p><p>-Makes easy to learn abstract ideas and concepts.</p><p>-Provides permanent learning.</p><p> </p><p>Objectives of geoscience education with models;</p><p>-To enable students to become active in the teaching environment.</p><p>-To increase students’  interest for the geoscience subjects.</p><p>-To ensure the permanent learning of the students.</p><p>-To develop students’ teamwork and collaboration skills.</p><p>-To improve students’ creativity skills.</p><p> </p><p>In primary school students' positive attitudes towards school and learning affect the following educational life.

The purpose of the article is to substantiate theoretically the content component of creating a personality-oriented educational environment on the basis of subject-subject interaction between teachers and students of the New Ukrainian School. To achieve this goal, the following methods of analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature were used: generalization of the achievements of domestic and foreign scientists on a certain problem; systematization of the received information. Analyzing the psychological and pedagogical literature, we can say that the question of “educational environment” scientists have been addressed constantly. The views of scientists are considered and the essential characteristics of the concept of “educational environment” are given in the article. A brief overview of the structural elements of the environment, the problems of designing and creating a creative, personality-oriented educational environment based on the subject-subject interaction between teachers and students for their development are described. The solution of existing problems in the practice of forming the educational environment of primary school is studied. The main criteria are considered, taking into account which it is necessary to build an educational environment for primary school students. The main characteristics and parameters of the educational environment are analyzed. Recommendations for teachers on creating cells are provided. The focus is on specific tasks to address the issue of teacher readiness for change and steps to create a modern educational environment. Prospects for further explorations in this direction are outlined

The main aim of this study was to analyse possible differences in academic wellbeing on the basis of prior academic achievement in mathematics. We conceptualised wellbeing as a multidimensional construct covering both negative indicators, namely, anxiety and negative feelings, and positive indicators, namely, perceived competence, perceived utility, and mastery motivation. Success in mathematics is expected to be associated with better academic wellbeing. The sample consisted of 897 students from the fifth and sixth years of primary school (50.2% boys and 49.8% girls). Results suggested that success in mathematics is linked to a student’s academic wellbeing, in such a way that perceived competence in the subject, perception of usefulness of mathematical content, and mastery motivation was higher in students with better previous performance. Anxiety and negative feelings were also lower when success in mathematics increased. Considering the particular anxiety–self-efficacy interaction suggested by previous research, we concluded that a good way to change negative academic wellbeing would be to increase successful experiences to foster perceived competence, especially in students with high academic anxiety.
