The article reveals theoretical approaches to the study of the independence of thinking in primary school students. The features of the development of indicators of the independence of thinking in schoolchildren with a diagnosis of "mental retardation" are analyzed. The results of an empirical study are presented, in which schoolchildren of 10-11 years old with a diagnosis of "mental retardation of cerebral-organic genesis" participated. They showed that the independence of thinking in younger schoolchildren with mental retardation is not formed and has a characteristic feature in the form of a lack of clear receptions of mental activity, poor awareness of the goal and methods of completing tasks, which is due to the underdevelopment of the process of self-regulation. The application of the correctional development program is substantiated, its effectiveness is proved.

The article presents the research on the cyber immunity formation for primary school students. We present the results of research to identify the youngest audience communicating on social networks and facing cyberbullying. To identify an average level of primary school students psychological immunity components formation against cyberbullying, the following methods are considered: ’Self-regulation level definition in intellectual activity’ by N.V. Ulenkova; emotional intelligence test by Hall; ‘Anagram’ methods for reflexivity of thinking level definition; ‘Concepts Comparison’ methods for the research of students’ mental operations: analysis, synthesis, comparison; ‘Simple analogies’ methods to detect the awareness as a quality of critical thinking; independence of thinking test (from the methodological complex ‘Prognosis and prevention of studying problems’ by L.A. Yasyukova); Lippman’s ‘Logical patterns’ test for the assessment of the logic of thinking. According to the results of the problem theoretical analysis, empirical research and psychological analysis of fairy tales, the main areas of work in the context of cyber immunity primary school children formation are identified. Self-rating and self-worth development, socialization, emotional intelligence, self-regulation and critical thinking are the important stages for cyber immunity formation process. Several directions of psychological work with younger students have been identified. Informing children about the inadmissibility and consequences of cyberbullying on the Internet, the development of media literacy. They also presented a multifunctional, effective method of narrative psychology of childhood – the psychological analysis of fairy tales to form meaningful qualities. Identification of children with the characters of fairy tales and their behavior develops new adaptive skills, and awareness of the falsity of the actions of the characters forms critical thinking. 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.

AbstractBackground and purpose: One of the main benefits of breakfast-eating habit for schoolchildren is to maintain the attention-concentration. The current trend shows a steady decline in the breakfast-eating habit among primary school children. This present study aims to examine the association between breakfast-eating habit and attention-concentration in primary school children.  Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 160 primary school students year 5 and 6. Samples were selected from six public primary schools within two villages. There were a total of 16 classes of year 5 and 6 in these six schools, and five classes were selected randomly. All students from the selected classes included in the study. Attention-concentration was measured using a digit symbol test, and breakfast-eating habit and total calories intake were measured using the recall 24 hours and a standardised questionnaire. Multivariate analysis with logistic regression was employed to examine the association between breakfast-eating habit and attention-concentration.Results: The majority of students were found to have good concentration (60.63%), with breakfast-eating habit (75.00%), and consumed sufficient amount of calories (53.13%). Our multivariate analysis found a significant association between breakfast-eating habit and attention-concentration among schoolchildren (AOR=14.0; 95%CI: 4,9–67,8).Conclusions: Students with breakfast-eating habit tend to have a good attention-concentration. The total calories intake during breakfast is not associated with attention-concentration among primary school students in Badung District.

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.
