Sandplay therapy in psycho-pedagogical correction of preschool children fears

© 2016 Kostyunina and Valeeva.Parents of preschool children often encounter a problem of children's fears. Sometimes parents don't pay enough attention to things and events which frighten their children. In future fears can develop into phobias: unsettled childhood fears may shadow adults turning into adult fears and suspicions. Anxiety and fear are essential emotional manifestations of our mental life, as well as pleasure, anger, surprise or sorrow. If fears are understood correctly and their causes are clear, most of them disappear completely. But if they are excessive and persist over time, then it should make parents think about children’s health, the relations in a family, their own behavior. The paper considers the phenomenon of children fears, the problem of psycho-pedagogical correction of preschool children fears which are caused by age-related peculiarities of development and are of temporary nature. Fears do not only deprive children of psychological comfort, joy of communication, but trigger the development of children's neuroses. Nevertheless, preschool children fears are not the trait of character; they could be overcome by means of some psycho-pedagogical correction measures. The study resulted in the set of conditions of psychological and pedagogical correction: carrying out diagnostics to indentify children's fears; development and introduction of the complex program “Sand scattering!” The conducted research allowed to draw the following conclusion: the approved program including various methods, such as art therapy and sandplay therapy, is an effective means of correction of children’s fears

Forming analytical competency of higher school students

© 2016 Valeeva & Bushmeleva.The urgency of the problem, stated in the article, is prompted on the one hand by the needs of modern society in professionally competent people, who are able to act in situations of uncertainty, to think “outside the box”, to successfully solve life and professional problems, and on the other hand - by the presence in the pedagogical theory and practice opportunities for solving this problem, in particular, through the development of analytical competency of students. The purpose of the article is to develop a model of forming analytical competency of higher school students. The methodological basis of the research is a systematic approach and methodology of selecting the content of education, which allowed to consider the analytical competency as a system, to carry out the design of forming analytical competency of higher school students on the basis of the developed model and justify the content of education, ensuring the formation of the analytical competency. The article presents a model of the analytical competency of higher school students, while teaching special mathematical disciplines with the help of information and communications environment through the integration of mathematical, information and pedagogical knowledge. The article introduces conditions for effective formation of students’ analytical competency, which provides them with the opportunity to work and continue their vocational training

Positron annihilation sites in nano lead sulfide powders

The coincident Doppler broadening of the positron-electron annihilation radiation has been applied for the identification of vacancies in nano lead sulfide (nano-PbS) powders. The results of the positron annihilation studies on nano-PbS with different particle size are presented. Nano-PbS specimens have been synthesized by the chemical bath deposition in aqueous medium. Independently of the size of nanoparticles (from 12 to 16 nm) the positron lifetime (PLT) for all specimens has been found to be the same and equal to 391±1 ps. Independently of the size of nanoparticles the chemical surrounding of positron annihilation sites identified by coincident Doppler broadening measurements was the same, namely lead (Pb).Canberra;Orte

E-Teaching materials as the means to improve humanities teaching proficiency in the context of education informatization

© 2016 by iSER, International Society of Educational Research.The aim of the article is to determine the specifics of the creation and methodology of the use of e-teaching materials on humanities in the training system of future teachers. The leading approaches to the study of this problem are student-centered and personally-meaningful approaches to teaching leading to realizing the need for new educational opportunities associated with the use of modern information technologies in the training of future teachers of humanities. The article explains the pedagogical rationale of creating and using e-teaching materials in teaching humanities, based on the integration of subject and methodological knowledge, skills and experience in the training of future teachers; identifies and rationalizes the requirements (integrative framework, gradual development of materials, marked structure, individualization of the teaching process, the strategic character of knowledge assimilation, openness of the system) for the design of e-teaching materials for the humanities disciplines in the training of future teachers; highlights principles of integrative educational process on the basis of e-teaching materials (prioritizing e-teaching materials in the educational process; the integrity and continuity of the didactic cycle carried out with the help of e-teaching materials); grounds organizational and methodological conditions of the effective use of e- teaching materials in future teachers’ training (students’ needs and motivation, cognitive independence, control and diagnostics); focuses on the developed methodology of using e-teaching materials for the humanities disciplines in the training of future teachers (on the basis of the course "Teaching proficiency")

The category of upbringing in Russian and Western studies

© 2016 by iSER, International Society of Educational Research. Modern life is constantly creating situations when the rights and value of every individual acquire the dominant role. Many educators understand today that the change in the socio-cultural situation in the country gives rise to the need for such personality traits as autonomy, self-reliance, independence, free will, and active life. This situation causes the change of the whole system of fundamental constants of pedagogy, especially the category of "upbringing". This article considers some aspects of the category “upbringing” and its understanding in the context of different cultures of the Western society. The paper analyses the opportunity and the ways of Western educational categories to be translated and be understandable by Russian researchers and educators. The article points out the special role of the interpreter, the necessity of each translated category immersion into the context of culture, way of thinking, and especially the language of the country where it came from. The main methods of the research are systematization, classification, comparative analysis, which allowed to determine the main approaches to defining the notion “upbringing” in comparison with the notion “education”. The materials of this article can be useful for the researchers in educational area, for the scholars and students of teachers training institutions in the process of their professional development

Gender aspects in the victim behavior of adolescents

This research has been necessitated by the current situation in our society where victim behaviour is developing amongst children and adolescents relating to their changing gender roles. An identification of the causes of the formation of victim behaviour is based on an analysis of the gender characteristics of adolescents. The main research methods used are the Bass-Perry questionnaire and the modified Freiburg Personality Inventory/Form B (FPI-B). This uses a technique of personal orientation study for the identification of the typical forms of respondents' aggressive behaviour and some personality traits. This involves the allocation of four major types of personality orientation (humanistic, egocentric, sociocentric, negativistic). The deformation of gender stereotypes in modern society is reflected in the manifestation of victim behaviour. Level of aggression, as one of the signs of victimisation, is quite high both amongst boys and girls. Adolescents with a negativist personality orientation do not accept themselves or others and they prevail among this category. The research resulted in identifying some features of victim behaviour amongst adolescents of differing genders. No clear gendered features were identified that could be explained as the result of changing gender roles in contemporary society or of masculinisation phenomenon affecting females in particular
