The Difference

In this article, we analyzed reflections of undergraduate students of Primary school education and also the reflections of gifted primary school children. The reflections were collected in those two subsamples separately, while learning Math in experiential way. For the suitability to observe critical reorganization of mathematical images, the scaling as a subject was chosen. The process of learning in adults has a feature to encompass the critical reflection approach for the problem solving. The aim of our study was to shed light on differences and similarities between adults and gifted primary school children in mathematical reasoning. We used the following methods: case study; observation; audio recordings; and qualitative analysis (i. e. content analysis). In whole study, 13 undergraduate students and 16 gifted children from III–IV grades took a part. The results indicate that the main insights in the mathematical content were made while comparing measurements of different dimensions. The similarities between adults and children were found in how critical reorganization of mathematical images was done. The difference occurred in the extent of reasoning abstraction. Gifted children already at primary school years were able to formulate logical explanations into mathematical rules. However, for the children to make critical reflections, the experiential basis (practice) is obligatory. In contrast, adults used abstract reasoning even in experiential (practical) situations.

Children's Speech

Classrooms for primary school children should be built to criteria based on children's speech intelligibility needs which in some respects – e.g. reverberation time – differ markedly from the traditional criteria for adults. To further identify why the needs of children and adults for speech perception are so different we have measured the ‘integration time’ of speech for adults and children using a novel technique to obviate the complicating effects of differing language. The results for children are significantly different than for adults (35 ms c.f. 50 ms) and recommendations for classroom design based on the children's requirements have been made. When groups of children engage in ‘co-operative learning’ activities in the classroom, the “cafe effect” produces a rising activity noise level. We suggest the Lombard Effect is responsible for this. Measurements show children are more susceptible to the effect and we have developed a prediction model for activity noise in a classroom.

Empirical Material

The article presents the authors’ project of designing a digital educational environment for the actualization and development of creative giftedness in primary school children by means of a network of project activities. The educational environment was designed within the conceptual framework proposed by E. D. Patarakin and based on his idea of using network interactions to support the project method. This approach enables a transition from the concept of "educational environment" to the concept of “educational ecosystem". The model of an ecological system is used in the article to analyze the contemporary educational environment. The empirical material presented in the paper can be implemented in developing new forms of interaction between educational process participants in the context of e-learning.

The necessity and main directions of preparation of future teachers for work with gifted children of preschool and primary school age are shown. The author's definition and structure of readiness of future educators to work with gifted children are presented. The signs of giftedness are analyzed and the characteristics of different types of giftedness are presented. The importance of identifying talented individuals in an educational institution and creating a developmental environment for the development of their abilities and creative self-realization is substantiated. The importance of theatrical activity for the development of general and special abilities, creativity, talent and the formation of non-cognitive qualities of preschool and primary school children is shown. The results of diagnostics of awareness of future teachers with the theoretical and methodological principles of using theatrical activities as a means of developing children's talents are presented. The main directions of training future teachers in the educational process of higher education institutions, aimed at mastering students' special knowledge, development of professional qualities, skills and abilities necessary for the use of dramatization in working with different categories of potentially gifted children.

Initial Measurement

The first aim of the study was to determine if there are significant gender differences in newly applied motor skills tests in primary-school children concerning the protocol applied. The second aim was to determine how the newly implemented protocol using a video demonstration of the task affects the differences in outcome between boys and girls compared to the standard motor skills assessment protocol without a video demonstration. The total number of participants was 327, consisting of 186 boys and 141 girls aged 10.5 years. The students were divided into two subgroups based on the protocol applied. The sample of variables consisted of four motor skills assessment tests: the shuttle-run, partial curl-up, 90° push-ups, back-saver sit-and-reach (right and left leg) tests. A three-factor variance analysis investigated the effects of protocol and gender on the result in each test. Statistically significant differences between boys and girls were obtained in the initial measurement and after applying the protocols in the mentioned tests. In the back-saver sit-and-reach (right leg) test, the difference was not significant in the initial measurement with the standard protocol, while it was significant after it was applied. In the curl-up test, there were no differences in scores between boys and girls when using both protocols. Differences in the outcomes after the application of the video demonstration protocol were evident in both genders, and a markedly significant increase occurred in the application of the tests 90° push-ups and curl-up tests, which assess strength.

Creative Initiative

The article examines the conditions of supporting social giftedness in school children. A typology of social giftedness is proposed and social giftedness structure is determined based on the analysis of available research of this phenomenon. The author distinguishes the indicators of social giftedness in primary school children. Pedagogical observation of educational process in the primary school of Nayanova Gifted Children Academy (Samara, Russia) demonstrated that social giftedness in schoolchildren gains support on the level of individual creative initiative of teachers. By the same token, the development of social giftedness is not part of general education system in Russia. Both the pedagogical toolkit and the attention to social giftedness development need considerable advancement on institutional level.

Different Characteristics

Gifted children display different characteristics, attitudes and behaviours not only from their peers but also from one another. Gifted children should not mean a single type of children with similar characteristics. On the contrary, these children display different characteristics not only from other children but also from other gifted peers. For the teachers of young children it is very difficult to find an activity that is suitable and contributes to the development of these children. In this circumstance, Turkish marbling might be helpful for   the teachers. Although Turkish marbling (Ebru) is mentioned as a difficult art in various resources, it can be applied to children by using ready-to-use dyes and ready-to-use gum tragacanth. After all, marbling can be turned into an enjoyable activity by giving the children the opportunity to discover different characteristics of marbling and by not forcing them applying the marbling by using traditional techniques perfectly. Marbling activities done with children show that, pre-school and primary school children find it enjoyable and like to participate in these activities. Such characteristics of marbling as (a) giving opportunities for originality, (b) teaching patience, (c) experimenting, (d) allowing works in different in different ability levels, (e) relaxing and anxiety recovery, (f) suitability for different age groups, (g) giving chance for personal progression suits the needs of gifted children thus making it very advantageous for these children. Therefore, it is thought that marbling might make important contributions for the development of gifted children.
