ABOUT THE WAY AND THE "TWO VOICES" IN THE POETIC WORLD OF IVAN TSANEV

The text is a synthesized literary-historical touch, introducing into the nature of one of the most contributing contemporary Bulgarian poets. Which is a humanism-apology of the human and the complete man, and the poetic language in the books for children and for the “adults” is two sides of the indivisible creative development. With the lyrical subject of the “big world” the real entry into the poetic essence, reached in the children’s books, is prepared. And what cannot be called by the voice of the “big man” is already possible by the voice of the “child/ characteristic of the child.” There the achieved peace was achieved, the existential, tragic loss was overcome. The ideological and aesthetic creative integrity has been achieved simultaneously with the rounded double-headedness of this dualistic lyrical duet.

SOUND-LETTER ANALYSIS IN THE CONTEXT OF LINGUODIDACTIC COMPETENCE OF FUTURE PRIMARY TEACHERS

The present study considers the sound-letter analysis of the word as a representative procedure in the formation of linguistic the methodological competence of students with professional qualification "primary teacher". The aim is to derive an appropriate algorithm for the application of this type of analysis in university education in accordance with the current curriculum at the initial stage of basic education. The study included 309 students at Trakia University – Stara Zagora. Through testing with a criterion-oriented test and the subsequent application of descriptive statistics, the typical difficulties in mastering the sound-letter analysis of the word in the perspective of students' success in the cognitive field of phonetics of modern Bulgarian language are considered. On the basis of the conducted research an algorithm is offered for carrying out the sound-letter analysis of the word according to the derived priorities in the linguistic-methodical preparation of the students in view of their future professional realization as teachers.

SEMANTIC APPROACH IN MUSICAL EDUCATION IN GENERAL EDUCATION SCHOOLS

Implementation of the semantic approach in musical pedagogy corresponds to a number of searches in art- cognitive activity. This gives a key to meaningful analysis of art work and includes the achievements of different scientific disciplines. In the current report the basic components of the semantic analysis are discussed and hierarchical structures of its implementation in the educational process. The capabilities of the specialized musical software and Hevner’s Clock are analyzed as a pedagogical technology, supporting the semantic analysis.

DEVELOPMENT OF DIALOGUE COMPETENCE IN CHILDREN WITH GENERAL SPEECH DISORDER

The main core of activity in organized preschool education is the formation of dialogic competence, due to the key position it occupies in the initial stage of speech development in children. The article is devoted to an experimental study aimed at establishing the level of dialogic competence development in preschool children with general speech underdevelopment. Participants in the experiment were 16 children (9 girls and 7 boys) aged 4 to 7 years, trained in educational structures for social support. The obtained results showed that the low level of dialogic competence is the main dominant in the current empirical research.

ATTITUDES AND SELF-EFFICACY OF TEACHERS TOWARD INCLUSION OF CHILDREN WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENT IN MOTOR EDUCATION

The aim of the study is to analyze the attitudes and self-efficacy of current and future preschool and primary teachers for the inclusion of children with various disabilities in general physical education classes. This article presents the results related to children with visual impairments. The study covers a contingent of 723 people – 240 preschool teachers, 143 primary teachers and 340 students graduating in “Preschool and primary school pedagogy”. The main method of research is the questionnaire. Participants filled in modified and adapted versions of two questionnaires: “Attitudes toward Teaching Individuals with Physical Disabilities in Physical Education – ATIPDPE” by Kudlachek and “Self-Efficacy Scale for Physical Education of Teacher Education Majors toward Inclusion – SE-PETE-D” by Blok. The results show that the respondents have relatively positive inclusive attitudes and are rather confident in their ability to include a child with a visual impairment in inclusive physical education.

SYSTEM-ACTING APPROACH FOR DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICAL COMPETENCIES RELATED TO THE VALUE ”MASS” IN THE EDUCATION IN MATHEMATICS FOR GRADES 1-4

The development of knowledge, skills and competences related to values and their measuring units represents an important part of the overall education in mathematics for primary school students in Grades 1-4. The research studies different theoretical concepts related to the competences and the approaches in the primary school education. Based on the analysis of the respective legislation the researcher presents interconnections between the specific mathematical competences and the term “mass” from the competency cluster “Measurement”. The newly developed methodology system of work for learning the term “Mass” is applied during both the mandatory and the additional mathematics classes in Grades 1-4. Different approaches for education are simultaneously applied but priority is given to the system-acting approach with the idea to achieve unification between the act of teaching and the control of the cognitive and practical productive activities of the students. As a result of applying the newly developed methodology system of work the students actively participate in the pedagogy interrelations and co-operation with the rest of the students, they have the opportunity to express their own intellectual and emotional potential. When the students make mistakes, during the practical individual, team and group activities they get the opportunity to correct these mistakes and to develop their own logical thinking.

THE STUDENT PORTFOLIO - INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR QUALITY OF THE PRACTICAL PEDAGOGICAL PREPARATION OF THE STUDENTS

A model of a student portfolio for improving the quality and effectiveness of students’ pedagogical practical competencies during their practical academic preparation is presented. The structure of the model includes target, structural-content, organizational-procedural and evaluation block. Content and process of developing the learning portfolio reflects the level of formation of three key competencies of teachers: to work with others; to work with knowledge, technology and information; to work with society. The technology includes a variety of reflexive exercises, variable-creative learning tasks with a dialogic style, with a practical focus, reflexive techniques, methods, tools and forms of organization. The criteria for assessment and self-assessment are: professional-value-cognitive and professional-operational-active. The indicators are: motivational; cognitive-two-way reflexive grounded analysis/ self-analysis; peer assessment and self-assessment; variable-creative proposals.
