The present article discusses the ways for improving the quality and effectiveness of the process of teaching children of primary school age. In particular, aspects such as the development of cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies for the development of conscious understanding of self-learning process. The development of a meta-language and a conscious thought (thinking) process to analyze self-learning process are considered. Some examples provided in this article are taken from the Kid’s English to illustrate the development of cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies in primary school.

The subject of mental training has gained a great deal of attention in the field of sports psychology and various authors have shown that many of the components of mental training transfer successfully to a musical setting (Green, Gallwey, 2012). Yet the explanations for its success, why this may depend on certain conditions and whether there are special considerations for musicians, have remained relatively obscure (Johnson, 2003). Additionally, mental training is more frequently used in both sports and music with already-trained practitioners; the few studies that explore the components of mental training with children are currently in the field of sport (e.g. Orlick, McCaffrey, 1991; Julien, 2002; Li-Wei et al, 1992) and therefore do not address the specifics of learning a musical instrument. The aim of this paper is to investigate the premise of mental training and to assess opportunities for its use in the one-to-one violin teaching and learning process of primary school-aged pupils. The applied methods: Analysis of the scientific literature on mental training, its connections to literature in neuroscience and primary school age-related studies; teaching observations. Relevant conclusions: Children from a young age have mental imagery abilities and there are opportunities for the use of mental training in the violin teaching and learning process of pupils in the primary school age group. A synthesis of the literature on mental training, neuroscience and empirical teaching observations suggests that for mental training to be most beneficial, it should be introduced consciously and purposefully within the teaching and learning process.

Education Field

The application of the competence approach in the education field is a complex process that requires the creation and testing in practice a number of methodological solutions. The change from a knowledgereproducing learning process to competence-oriented one must be realized at all levels of the educational structure. Even in their preparation, future teachers must get acquainted with the modern achievements of pedagogy and be ready to apply in practice a variety of organizational forms other than classroom-lesson. The article presents methods, approaches, forms that facilitate the application of the competence approach in the education of children and students of preschool and primary school age.

Primary School Age

The present study examined age differences in time-based prospective memory (TBPM) in primary school age children and tested the role of self-initiated memory retrieval and strategic time monitoring (TM) as possible developmental mechanisms. Fifty-four children were recruited from local primary schools (27 younger children, mean age = 7.2 ± 0.55 years, and 27 older children, mean age = 9.61 ± 0.71 years). The task was a driving game scenario in which children had to drive a vehicle (ongoing task) and to remember to refuel before the vehicle runs out of gas (TBPM task, i.e., the fuel gauge served as child-appropriate time equivalent). Fuel gauge was either displayed permanently (low level of self-initiation) or could only be viewed on demand by hitting a button (high level of self-initiation). The results revealed age-dependent TBPM differences with better performance in older children. In contrast, level of self-initiated memory retrieval did not affect TBPM performance. However, strategies of TM influenced TBPM, as more frequent time checking was related to better performance. Patterns of time checking frequency differed according to children’s age and course of the game, suggesting difficulties in maintaining initial strategic TM in younger children. Taken together, the study revealed ongoing development of TBPM across primary school age. Observed age differences seemed to be associated with the ability to maintain strategic monitoring.

Цель. Анализ влияния характера зрения (ХЗ)на показатели сложной сенсомоторной реакции на движущийся объект (РДО)у детей младшего школьного возраста с содружественным сходящимся косоглазием (ССК). Материал и методы. Было обследовано 33 ребенка (66 глаз), в возрасте 6–11 лет, с ССК на фонеHm4,6±2,5Д. Сформированы 3 группы, в зависимости от ХЗ, на фоне полной коррекции. 1 группа – 12 детей (24 глаза) с монокулярным ХЗ, угол косоглазия 5,9±4,0°, 2 группа –12 детей (24 глаза)с одновременным ХЗ, угол косоглазия 3,9±3,6°,3 группа – дети с бинокулярным ХЗ – 9 пациентов(18 глаз), угол косоглазия 0,9±0,8°. Всем пациентам проводилось стандартное страбологическое обследование. РДО была исследована с помощью аппаратно-программного комплекса «НС-Психотест»(ООО «Нейрософт). Результаты. Среднее время РДО в 1 группе –29,1±9,5мс, во 2 группе – 16,6±8,4мс, в 3 группе –-12,4±4,1мс (р <0,05). Положительное значение среднегруппового показателя РДО детей 1 и 2 группы является следствием преобладания у большинства обследуемых процессов торможения в ЦНС. Отрицательное значение среднегруппового показателя детей 3 группы является свидетельством преобладающей реакции НС в виде дисбаланса течения нервных процессов в сторону возбуждения в ответ на предложенную нагрузку. Выводы. Отсутствие у детей 1 и 2 группы бинокулярного зрения приводит не только к нарушению аккомодационно-конвергентных взаимосвязей в зрительном анализаторе, но и является причиной изменения зрительной экстраполяции, что приводит к снижению подвижности нервных процессов и преобладанию тормозных процессов в ЦНС(положительное значение средне группового показателя времени РДО детей 1 группы – 29,1±9,5 мс,2 группы – 16,6±8,4 мс).
