The article addresses the problem of the negative impact of the irregular use of electronic information carriers on primary school pupils’ psychophysical development. Foreign researches and WHO data on the allowed time of use of information devices for children and teenagers, their impact on heath, speech and motor development of the younger generation are presented. The concept “information device” is defined, the main contradictions of the active use of information devices by children are described which are resulted, on the one hand, from the impossibility of education and socialisation of the younger generation apart from electronic information devices, and, on the other hand, due to their negative impact on children’s health and psychophysical development. The choice of the age group for the study is substantiated – the primary school age, at which psychophysical and psychosocial changes take place, significant for the entire subsequent period of a child’s schooling. It is emphasised that at this age period children’s computer dependence has not yet formed, even a positive effect of the use of a computer on the mental development of a primary school pupil is noted. At the same time, the use of information devices in the education and leisure of primary school pupils requires a proper organisation of their educational work, balance of various activities, formation of pupils’ conscious behaviour, which will contribute both to the education of the child and his / her proper psychophysical development. The content of the experimental research work, which was carried out at the elementary grades of schools in Odessa region involving second-third-grade pupils and their parents, is described. The results of the surveys represented by pupils and their parents, pedagogical observations, assessment of pupils’ performance, the characteristics of their speech and motor development have shown an increase in the time allotted to children to work with information devices and the negative impact of their irregular use on the psychophysical development of primary school children.

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.

Intellectual Abilities

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.

Psychological Features

This article is devoted to the theoretical analysis of the problem of psychological features of the development of creative thinking of children of primary school age. Thinking is characterized as a cognitive process in which objects and phenomena of reality are reflected in their essential features, connections and relationships. Thinking arises on the basis of practical activities of sensory cognition. The difference between thinking and other mental processes is that it is almost always associated with the presence of a problem situation, the task to be solved and the active change of the conditions in which the task is set. The paper reveals the essence of the concept of “creative thinking” and analyzes its criteria. Creative thinking is seen as a type of thinking characterized by the creation of a subjectively new product and new formations in the cognitive activity on the way to its formation. The theory of creative thinking is substantiated, which contains many different approaches to determining its mechanisms and patterns: dialogic, dialectical, critical, reflexive, lateral, positive thinking. The peculiarities of the formation of creative thinking in primary school students are substantiated and the methods of its development are analyzed, namely: the development of students’ independence, their ability to move independently from one stage to another, mastering the ability to find the most rational way to solve non-standard problems. The main methods of research of psychological features of development of creative thinking of junior schoolchildren are analyzed: the technique “Drawing of figures” (modification of the technique of E. Torrens, developed by O. Dyachenko), which is aimed at assessing the abilities of junior schoolchildren to productive imagination (figurative creativity); the method “Invent a game” (according to R. Nemov) is aimed at assessing the flexibility, non-standard, originality of the child in the field of verbal creativity; Renzulli's creativity questionnaire (modified by O. Tunik) allows to diagnose the level of development of creative thinking (creativity) of primary school children by identifying the creative initiative of primary school students by the method of experts.The sample, stages of research are characterized and the received results of studying of psychological features of development of creative thinking of pupils of elementary school are analyzed.
