Development of attention in graders

© Medwell Journals, 2015. Objective of this study is a theoretical substantiation and experimental approbation of forms and methods of attention development in graders. The experiment involved 100 pupils from Kazan Secondary General Education School. We have collected information using two variants of tests for determining the scope and level of attention as well as mathematical statistics methods, t-Student test to verify hypotheses about the significance of difference in the averages. The ascertaining experiment results have shown that most test subjects have a low level of attention. After the formative experiment using psychological and educational attention development program "Most Attentive" the graders have shown a significant increase in their attention level. The performed pedagogical experiment has proved the correctness of the hypothesis and theoretical provisions for the implementation of the defined pedagogical conditions for developing the attention in graders

Topology of steady heat conduction in a solid slab subject to a nonuniform boundary condition: The Carslaw-Jaeger solutionâ revisited

Temperature distributions recorded by thermocouples in a solid body (slab) subject to surface heating are used in a mathematical model of two-dimensional heat conduction. The corresponding Dirichlet problem for a holomorphic function (complex potential), involving temperature and a heat stream function, is solved in a strip. The Zhukovskii function is reconstructed through singular integrals, involving an auxiliary complex variable. The complex potential is mapped onto an auxiliary half-plane. The flow net (orthogonal isotherms and heat lines) of heat conduction is compared with the known Carslaw-Jaeger solution and shows a puzzling topology of three regimes of energy fluxes for temperature boundary conditions common in passive thermal insulation. The simplest regime is realized if cooling of a shaded zone is mild and heat flows in a slightly distorted resistor model flow tube. The second regime emerges when cooling is stronger and two disconnected separatrices demarcate the back-flow of heat from a relatively hot segment of the slab surface to the atmosphere through relatively cold parts of this surface. The third topological regime is characterized by a single separatrix with a critical point inside the slab, where the thermal gradient is nil. In this regime the back-suction of heat into the atmosphere is most intensive. The closed-form solutions obtained can be used in assessment of efficiency of thermal protection of buildings. © 2012 Australian Mathematical Society

Local studies as a facility of the learners’ patriotic education in different educational communities during the course of the French language

A preschooler in the world of Russian culture of the peoples

© 2016 Stepanova.This article is aimed at the disclosure of the process of familiarizing senior preschool children to the culture of different nations through didactic games. The purpose of the article is to determine the content of ethno-national culture of the people, accessible to children preschool age, which includes a set of elements of ethnic (folk costume, folk tales, games, music, dance, decorative and applied arts) and national (symbolism, sights) culture, and realized didactic games. A structurally-substantial characteristics of a subject position of pre-school age child, consisting of the following components: motivational-value (interest and relevance to ethno-national culture), cognitive (understanding of the ethno-national culture of their own and other peoples), emotional (emotional manifestations in the process of interaction with elements of ethno-national culture), the regulatory-activity (activity initiative in creative activity and the ability to self-willed behavior). The leading approach to the study of this problem is the activity that allows you to consider the work as a means of formation and development of human subjectivity. The article highlights the criteria for assessing the level of development of a subject position of the child's personality in the process of development of ethno-national culture of the people: the scope and completeness of knowledge about ethnic and national culture of their own and other peoples, the degree of expression of interest, the content and methods of expression related to ethno-national culture, expression of positive emotions in interaction with the elements culture of the people, the behavior of the child in its development; defined levels of a subject position of the child's personality in the process of development of ethno-national culture of the people.

Peculiarities of adolescent depression before passing the general state exam

The problem of emotional distress of children and adolescents is one of the central problems that attracts the attention of parents, teachers and psychologists. A vivid manifestation of the emotional disadvantage of adolescents is a depressive state before passing the CSE and the USE.It is worth noting that depression in adolescents is not just a bad mood, but a serious emotional disorder that hinders its development, affects well-being and quality of life. Modern scientists, such as Gatsonis & Covacs (1989), Piug-Antich (1986), 1 D.N. Isaev (2000), in their studies of the depressed states state the facts that psychotic and endogenous forms of depression are more common for children than for adults. Brent (1993), 2 Robbins & Alessi (1985), 3 have identified the links between depression and suicidal tendencies in adolescence. In this paper, we consider the essence, causes and signs of depression in senior schoolchildren before passing the CSE
