School gardens play a huge role in learning about nature by children and young people. Lessons conducted in the open air surrounded by greenery develop the natural interests of students who can observe individual stages of plant development and change of seasons. In school gardens, classes in biological and chemical subjects, art, music, Polish and English can be conducted. The study presents a study of a selected case – a concept of land development at the Primary School in Stasin (Lubelskie Voivodeship) changing the current school environment into a sensory garden. The new project will meet the diverse needs of children, allow them to develop properly mental and physical, and allow teachers to conduct creative classes. The project created zones of the senses, dividing them into the zone of sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. In addition, a representative zone in front of the building, an educational, sport and recreation zone were distinguished. Consistency of the whole assumption is provided by attractive plantings and unified small architecture.

BOOKS FROM THE “BIBLIOTEKA MŁODYCH MICZURINOWCÓW” SERIES AS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW POPULARISATION OF KNOWLEDGE WAS COMBINED WITH IDEOLOGISATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE 1950SIn the article the author discusses the Biblioteka Młodych Miczurinowców Young Michurinist Library — a series of popular science books about nature for children and young people published in post-war Poland in 1953–1956. She explores the specificity of the books from the series, which — in addition to information about plants, animals and their amateur husbandry — also provided their readers with elements of the communist ideology. They were to disseminate the idea of Michurinism launched by the famous Soviet biologist and experimenter Ivan Michurin. School gardens and farms were used to teach pupils how to cultivate crops and use generally available plants to the maximum, and how to enrich their diet with farm animals that were easy to manage. The simple, largely fictionalised stories about nature, featuring a basic end matter, were to help teachers develop children’s and young people’s socialist worldview, and teach the contents recommended by the ministry.

The aim of this research was to determine the role of sociodemographic features, family satisfaction and social support for behavioral problems in children and young people. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on 208 fourth grade primary school pupils (average age of 10.12) and 8th grade primary school pupils (14.14 years of age in average) using the following measuring instruments: Social support scales, Financial availability scales, Behavior self assessment scales for youth and Scales of family satisfaction. The results obtained by this research lead to the conclusion that externalized behavioral problems are more common among older children/young people who are also less satisfied with their family than younger children. There was no significant difference in internalized behavioral problems due to age. Gender differences have also not been recorded. When examining correlations with internalized behavioral problems, there is a significant correlation with family satisfaction, financial availability and social support. Hierarchical regression analysis shows that family satisfaction and social support alone explain 31% of the common variance of internalized behavioral problems in children and youth. Significant correlates of externalized behavioral problems are family satisfaction and social support, and in the final step, family satisfaction independently contributes to explaining 18% of the variance of externalized behavioral problems in children and young people.

According to the suicidal state in the world, Kazakhstan ranks third after China and Russia. This situation among children and young people gives reason to think about the education of children in preschool age, especially in primary school. Starting from the youngest years, it is necessary to instill in their consciousness and sense of valuing their own life and the lives of others. In order to focus the attention of social educators on this problem, we offer a plan of work with students and their parents. An important way to overcome suicide and deviant behavior among adolescent children is, firstly, to provide preschool organizations with social teachers; secondly, to work with primary school students, to strengthen a separate social teacher; thirdly, to include an event on the prevention of suicide and deviant behavior among students in the work plan of a social teacher of small schools.

A formação docente para a cultura midiática é fundamental nos dias de hoje, especialmente porque as mídias digitais integram e definem a vida das crianças e jovens dentro e fora do espaço escolar, especialmente com relação aos jogos eletrônicos. No entanto, mesmo que façam parte desta cultura, os professores encontram muitos obstáculos para inserir essa mídia na sua prática pedagógica. No Brasil, poucas são as ofertas para formar docentes para a inclusão dos jogos eletrônicos na escola. Buscando diminuir essa lacuna, a proposta deste artigo é analisar uma proposta de formação para professores da educação básica baseada na proposta da pedagogia de multiletramentos. Os resultados mostraram que, ao jogar e refletir de modo guiado sobre os jogos eletrônicos, socializando suas práticas e reflexões em grupo, os professores conseguem ir além do usuário funcional, começando a compreender os diferentes textos e tecnologias (como criadores de sentidos) e a entender e pensar usos do que foi aprendido de novos modos (como analistas críticos e transformadores).Training teachers for inclusion of games in basic education: an experience reportAbstractTeacher training for media culture is crucial these days, especially as digital media, and particularly electronic games, define and are an integral part of the lives of children and young people inside and outside the school environment. However, even if they are part of this culture, teachers face many obstacles to including this medium in their teaching practice. In Brazil, few courses train teachers on how to include electronic games in school. To reduce this gap, this paper analyzes a proposal for training basic education teachers, based on the proposal of teaching multiliteracies. The results show that, when playing or reflecting in a guided way on electronic games, and sharing practices and reflections with the group, teachers can go beyond the functional user, and begin to understand the different texts and technologies (as direction makers) and understand and think about what was learned in new ways (as critical analysts and transformers).Keywords: Digital literacy, multiliteracies, electronic games, teacher training, media.
