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 paper presents the results of a pilot project evaluation, carried out as an action investigation whose aim was to provide a better quality extended day for primary school students. The project included the training of teachers involved in extended day program, designing of special activities performed by teachers with children once a week as well as changes and equipping of premises where children stay. The aims of the program were conception and performance of activities in a less formal way than during regular instructional days, linking of learning at school and acquired knowledge to everyday experiences, and work on contents contributing to the development of child's interests and creativity. The program was accomplished in a Belgrade primary school during the 2001/2002 academic year, comprising students of 1st and 2nd grades (N=77). The effects of the program were monitored throughout the academic year (observation and teachers' reports on accomplished workshops) and at the end of the academic year (teachers and students' opinions of the program, academic achievement and creativity of students attending the extended day program compared with students not attending it). Findings about positive effects of the program on students' broadening of interests and willingness to express themselves creatively, indicate unequivocally that there is a need for developing special extended day programs. The extended day program is an opportunity for school to exert greater educational influence that has yet to be tapped.

Physical Education is one of the subjects that arouses the most interest in children. The aim of this study is to find out the opinion that primary school students have about the Physical Education class. Drawings from a sample of 62 students from an educational centre in the city of Jaén, aged between six and eight years old, were analysed. The results show that the larger size of the drawings corresponds to the aspects that are to be emphasised. This subject is carried out regularly in the sports pavilion of the centre, making frequent use of materials such as sticks, hoops or balls. Cheerful colours are used, reflecting their enthusiasm for the subject. The smiling facial expression represents the schoolchildren’s interest in the subject. The most popular games or sports are basketball and pichi, both of them collective.

The present study examines some relationships pertaining to socioeconomic status (SES) and cognitive ability patterns of primary school children. Specifically the purpose of the study was to explore the relative merits of an hierarchical theory of two levels of cognitive ability, in contrast to a process scheme, positing two parallel modes of coding information. The subjects were 120 grade 4 primary school students. Analyses of the data are supportive of a simultaneous-successive process distinction and provide little confirmation for the hierarchical model. Some suggestions for the apparent lack of support for the hierarchical model are presented and implications for future research are considered.

The presented publication is the result of qualitative research on the ideas of professions carried out among third-grade students of primary school. The subject is of interest to researchers all over the world. The aim of the research was to check how third-grade students imagine professional work in general and how they imagine the work of people in particular occupations. The main problem that included specific problems was the question: What are the ideas of the professions of third-year primary school students? The research results show a positive image of professional work of third-grade students. They are able to identify their own interests, see the practical side of their professional work (obtaining the means necessary for living), understand the work as a service to other people (they associate the profession with the responsible work of a firefighter, policeman, teacher, doctor, secretary),they also have general knowledge about the work of their parents, correctly associate objects (props) with professions, know the names of the professions and they are able to indicate the features of a good and bad employee. The publication is supplemented with works by third-grade students presenting work in various professions.

<p><strong>Geoscience Education with Models in Primary School</strong></p><p>Mehmet Çekiç</p><p>Şehitlik İlkokulu, Şanlıurfa, Turkey ([email protected])</p><p> </p><p>Science can be a difficult area for students to understand in complex and abstract subjects.  Especially geoscience is a subject which should be concretizatied for a better learning. 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. Geoscience education with models is one of the important ways for primary school students to increase the desire for learning and to develop positive attitudes towards school. Besides, learning the subject by making their own models for the students contributes to show interest the science and to develop a researcher personality.</p>



The purpose of this article is to examine the importance of involvement teachers in the school orientation process and its effectiveness in the way high school students choose their educational path. Interviews and a survey were conducted with 74 teachers of different seniority selected from five public high schools in three regional directorates, in the 2018/2019 academic year, Casablanca-Settat region. This study shows from a deep analysis, that the coordination and cooperation with teachers and students in the process of school orientation were very low or null. In this study, scientific research and my experience have shown that the attainment of the desired objectives of high school students' educational guidance can only be achieved through coordination and cooperation between the various actors in the school guidance process. Teacher’s role is very essential since they are the closest to the student and the process of the student's educational orientation must be one of his main and fundamental tasks. It is concluded that public schools with the integration of teachers in the student's educational guidance have more success in the school path, as the participation of teachers in the guidance of their students, improves the process and increases its effectiveness. Our study has allowed us to detect very important results and information on the teacher’s role who must be an advisor in his school and must be a requirement of the process of academic guidance of high school students that we will present and discuss.

Under the current situation of epidemic prevention and control, to ensure the continuous progress of student learning, Chinese Ministry of Education put forward the initiative of "suspension of classes without suspension of school". Primary and secondary schools have adopted online learning at home for students to "open schools in the cloud. There is a big difference between online learning and classroom learning. In this process, problems such as increased teaching burden of teachers, lack of interaction between teachers and students, and students' lack of active learning are also exposed. Video learning are a new type of teaching resource. It can improve the efficiency of primary school mathematics teaching by using video learning reasonably. Based on the above analysis, the purpose of this research is to investigate the development of primary school students' logical reasoning ability through the use of video leanings for auxiliary teaching. The research method adopts the experimental method and is divided into the experimental class and control class. The subjects of the study were 72 students from a primary school in Indonesia. Experimental results show that video learning for auxiliary teaching can effectively develop students' logical reasoning ability.



Inclusiveeducation (IE) is commonly accepted internationally as a standard right for all children. Malaysia has similar aspiration to implement the concept in the school system. However, it appears IE is challenging for parents, teachers and students. One of the challenges is to produce a well-trained and competent teacher to recognize learning abilities and disabilities of individual students. The Malaysian government is committed to ensure children to receive equality in education. Malaysia Education Blueprint (MEB) spells out 75% of children with learning disabilities must be part of IE by 2025. There is a gap in IE studies in terms of investigating the relationship between emotions and learning ability among students in IE environment. Therefore, this concept paper proposes a standard profiling model by using the Computational Neuro-physiological (CNP) model to profile lower primary school students in IE. This paper also emphasizes the possible use of EEG technology in detecting the emotion, behavior and mental state that can be used to indicate the student’s learning ability in the inclusive education. This research is important to be carried out to have a student's profile which can be used to facilitate teachers to improve their competencies in teaching and handling the students

Handwriting is an essential of school activities for the school going children. Good or legible handwriting remained a constant task for the teachers and students during the whole day. The teachers recognize the legible handwriting at a gland due to their routine work in the schools. The teacher’s criterion that lies behind their decision of good handwriting was a question to answer in this study. The purpose of this study was to identify the components of legibility from the teachers’ perspective. Referencing handwriting experts and a literature review, key variables were categorized and organized onto a 5-point Likert Scale questionnaire. Teachers’ responses to the various legibility criteria were then tallied with regards to primary school students. Mean, standard deviation, exploratory factor analysis and path diagram statistics were applied to the ordinal data. It was concluded that twelve components were important for the legibility of handwriting of primary school students. These include Readability, Margin, Similarity, Line, Space, Size, Shape, Roundness, Form, Slant, Alignment and Recognition.
