“Computer games in the lives of children of senior preschool and younger school age”
1. The differences between computer games from traditional
Modern children, choosing between traditional and computer games, often prefer the latter. In terms of content, the computer games are in many respects similar to traditional, but they also have fundamental differences:
– many computer games are based on the principle of gradual complication of gaming and didactic tasks, like holding the child in the “zone of proximal development”;
– “phasing” in the programme, often allows the child to progress to the next stage without performing the tasks of the previous level. In some games you can use “menu” to arbitrarily choose the level of difficulty of the job. In other games, the program adapts to the child and offers him a new job with the light of his previous answers: more complicated if the jobs are successful, and Vice versa; Continue reading
The technique is intended for diagnostics of interaction between parents and children. The questionnaire allows us to determine not only the evaluation of one party — the parents, but also the vision of interaction with the other side — from the position of children.
Description of the method
Questionnaire “Interaction parent – child” is a “mirror” and contains two parallel forms: for parents and for children. In addition, there are two versions of the questionnaire:
Option for Teens and their parents;
Option for parents of preschool children and Junior pupils.
Thus, the questionnaire has three forms: one baby and two adults, 60 questions each.
The text of the questionnaire includes 10 scales – criteria to assess the interaction of parents with children. For each scale version of the questionnaire for adolescents have equal number of questions, except for two, which allocates the majority of researchers, and which can be considered basic in the parent-child relationship. This is the scale “autonomy-control” and “rejection-acceptance”, was composed of 10 statements, and in the rest of the scale — 5 claims. Continue reading
On the influence of the full moon on the body
The moon affects humans? Some are skeptical, others submit my life to the lunar calendar. Who is right?
Remember the school geography lessons, which taught that the tides in the seas and oceans are directly dependent on the phase of the moon. But man, as we know 80% water and this means that whether we like it or not, and the phases of the moon do have a certain impact on us. It manifests itself most acutely when the Earth satellite is in the phase of full moon.
People have long noticed that in this period, emotions are sharpened, the tides of joy or despair can arise suddenly, and the inexorable statistics show that the highest percentage of suicides occur at this time, as well as the exacerbation of various chronic diseases and primarily mental. No wonder the human imagination ascribes to increased activity at a time when there is a full moon, all sorts of undead: ghouls, ghouls, werewolves and witches.
A lunar month consists of four phases: new moon, full moon . growing and waning moon. The first day of the moon marks the beginning of new moon. 7-8 lunar day of first quarter of the lunar month, full moon 14th and 17th day of the moon. Third quarter – 22 and 23 lunar days. Fourth quarter – the end of the lunar month.
