Space to inculcate imagination in children through picture books

Imagination is a complex cognitive process that has been interpreted by different disciplines to define it and its functions. It is a process that draws from past experiences and socio-cultural influences to create new and innovative future outcomes. The pursuit of comprehending imagination has led to the understanding that it is a process that can be cultivated. This study focuses on ‘imagination’ as a concept that can be inculcated in children between the ages of two and six who are in their ‘high season of imagination’, a stage where they are most receptive to the growth of their imagination. Out of alternative media options, it was noted that there is a space to cultivate imagination in children of this age group via picture books. The importance of this medium is evident, as proven by numerous experts, specifically concerning how picture books can be designed to provoke imaginative inculcation. Therefore, this research aims to explain how imagination can be inculcated in children through picture books. This aim is accomplished through a literature review of three cases representing picture book practitioners, writers, and academics. The methodology was conducted in three parts. The first was a content analysis through index cards and annotations. Subsequently, a thematic analysis of literature content through tabulation was performed, followed by a final overall analysis. The results of this study identify five key picture book elements that should be taken into consideration during the creation of picture books to inculcate imagination in children. These five are: (1) Role of picture books, (2) The writing component, (3) Characterisation, (4) Location, situation, and setting, and (5) Layout. Future studies can take this outcome by utilising the five elements to analyse picture books within any context.

MUSICAL ACTIVITY OF CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES AT THE COURT OF THE QING EMPERORS OF THE 17TH–18TH CENTURIES

The article raises the problem of the significance of European missionaries’ musical activities at the court of the Qing emperors during the Golden Age and attempts to integrate Western art into palace musical life. A critical review of existing Russian-language sources leads the author to the conclusion that there is a lack of information on the topic of the article as well as some freedom in the interpretation of known historical facts in scientific articles. The author sees the possibility of filling gaps in this area of musicology in a detailed study of documents of the era, primarily diaries, letters, reports and other missionaries’ correspondence. Primary scholarly sources include Father Ripa's Diary, Father Du Halde's Description of the Chinese Empire, compiled from the correspondence of French Jesuits, and Father Amiot's work on the history of Chinese music. The author considers these books to be significant; however, they are not, of course, the only documents that help shed light on the scale and depth of the functioning of European music, theory and practice in the space of Chinese musical culture, which is closed, self-sufficient and by its nature not related to Europe. Works on music theory, created by order of and jointly with the Kangxi Emperor, are proof of a considerable interest in the West. In the palaces, the presence of a large number of European instruments, with which a Western-style ensemble could be formed, as well as attention to European clothing and wigs in which the emperor dressed his musicians, is indicative. In conclusion, the author finds that the musical activities of Christian missionaries produced certain results. On the one hand, organic interaction with European music and its deep understanding did not happen at the end of the 18th century. On the other hand, regardless of the subjective attitude of one or another emperor towards the Jesuits, the idea of ​​introducing musical theoretical ideas and practices of European music-making into everyday life gradually became a reality only owing to their persistent, regular and purposeful promotion. At the same time, a reverse process was underway - the missionaries’ research instinct led to the creation of memoirs and books on the history and acoustics of Chinese music, and contributed to its active promotion in European intellectual circles.

Development of 21st-Century Skills and Competencies in High School Students Through the Interactive E-Books Creation

Currently, the need to prepare students for the challenges of the 21st-Century is being recognized, referred to as Education 4.0. This paradigm aims to redefine the education model by fostering the development of 21st-Century skills and competencies, such as problem-solving, creativity, collaboration, communication, and learning to learn. Therefore, this article explores the uses of the Teacher Assistance Educational Process (TAEP4.0) in a real educational scenario. TAEP4.0 is a student-centered process inspired by Education 4.0, which assists teachers in creating projects in the Informatics Lab. The TAEP4.0 process was implemented through a case study focused on fostering 21st-Century skills and competencies among High School students, using the Book Creator platform for interactive e-book creation projects. TAEP4.0 consists of a series of steps that include suggested activities, tools, and support materials. However, teachers have the flexibility to adapt the TAEP4.0 process, exercising their creativity and making decisions regarding project elements, such as the choice of Information and Communication Technology (ICTs) for project creation and monitoring, with the aim of promoting skills and competencies. In this case study, five classes of two High School teachers participated, involving a total of 189 students in the projects. The data collected were analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. During the projects, students engaged in activities and reported difficulties, primarily related to communication and teamwork. This feedback enables teachers to gain insight into students' challenges in applying the necessary skills to produce a project. Such evidence can assist teachers in addressing these issues in the future, allowing for project reuse and the creation of new projects that focus on improving specific skills and competencies.
