Primary school of Ukraine in conditions of cognitive war: search for new ideas (from insight to technology)

The given article deals with the problems and challenges of the primary education of schoolchildren under cognitive war conditions. It carries out interdisciplinary neuro-psychological and pedagogy approaches to education, training and upbringing of young children in the context of overcoming the barriers of stress, moral losses, bombing, destruction, etc. caused by the war. The theoretical and methodological issues of distance and mixed educational process of primary schoolchildren were analyzed: goals, principles, structure of educational trajectory, technology, study and teaching strategies, expected outcomes for further development of pupils were also identified. With this paper, we aimed to identify patterns and trends in research on distance education of schoolchildren (aged 6-9 years old) during the war escalation. We synthesized the evidence for a range of less probed and researched psychological and methodological tools in our practical work focused on formation of competencies of creative perception and methods and techniques of associative thinking of younger generation in a cognitive fight in Ukraine.

Ready Coder One: Collaborative Game Design-Based Learning on Gifted Fourth Graders’ 21st Century Skills

The purpose of this research was to describe the impact of digital game building on fourth grade gifted and talented students’ problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration skills. Increasingly, there has been a call to involve students in real-world experiences through projects that explore authentic issues using technology. Game design-based learning with its unique set of affordances may offer a path to integrating technology, computer science education, creativity, and problem-solving. Increasingly, the ability to create rather than just consume technology has gained attention linking creativity and collaboration to using coding language. In this study, data collection included student reflection journals, classroom observations, classroom video recordings, a focus group interview, and students’ games. Participants came from two GT classes ( n = 45). Qualitative analysis identified five themes: overcoming challenges of group work, developing a culture of collaboration, creating narrative, and connecting science, problem-solving in Scratch’s coding environment, and reflecting on learning. Findings indicated involving gifted students in game design-based learning in science had a positive impact on student perceptions of problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration.

Moroccan Instructors’ Perception of Creative Teaching Practice

Creativity has become a major factor and key resource in post modern educational thought. Though its critical importance, creativity is alienated and maligned in most teaching practices.There is little information on the practice of creative teachers. Indeed, the purpose of this paper is to explore instructors' perception of creativity and its practices. Understanding teachers' attitude toward this practice is significantly important to deciding how educators respond to creativity in classrooms and whether this practice is being nurtured and promoted. Findings showed that instructors value creativity in their classrooms, but they still doubt its implementation in the Moroccan context.

Avant-Garde versus Tradition, a Case Study—Archaic Ritual Imagery in Malevich: The Icons, the Radical Abstraction, and Byzantine Hesychasm

Serving as a conceptual introduction to the ARTS special issue, the article discusses the importance of archaic imagery and poetics of a major avant-garde actor who often symbolizes the main axis of Slavic radical modernism in its Avant-garde phase. Kazimir Malevich has widely explored religious archaic imagery in his oeuvre, engaging in a dialog with a historical tradition of representation. The article discusses Malevich’s iconic legacy, zooming in on the philosophy of Malevich’s suprematist imagery of peasants, Orthodox icons, and the ways of visualizing of an inner Hesychast prayer. In this context, the paper also analyzes Russian philosophy of language, imiaslavie and Hesychasm as it stemmed out from the creative perception of Byzantine philosophical lore developed by Gregory Palamas and several other thinkers.

М. Горький в творческом сознании А. Платонова

The subject of this article is the perception of creativity and personality of M. Gorky by A. Platonov. The methodological basis of the work is the motivic analysis of the texts of both authors, produced against the background of the study of the historical and literary context. The methodological basis of the work is the motivic analysis of the texts of both authors, carried out against the background of the study of the historical and literary context. The study is based on Platonov’s later articles “The First Date with A. M. Gorky” and “Pushkin and Gorky”, as well as his lyrical and philosophical poems in prose, created in the early 1920s. As analysis has shown, this corpus of early works clearly echoes Gorky’s early poem “The Man”. In it, the main motive, as in Platonov’s poems, is the motive of thought. However, creatively developing the main provisions of Gorky’s poem, Platonov does not blindly follow the unilinear logic of the pretext, but comprehends it in his characteristic manner of multi-vector movement of thought.

PERCEPÇÃO DA CRIATIVIDADE EM ALUNOS E PROFESSORES BRASILEIROS

ABSTRACT Despite scientific advances in the understanding of creativity, there are still doubts in the definition of this construct by students and teachers. This study aimed to identify the perception of creativity in students (n=74) and teachers (n=24). The average age was 30.5 years, mostly women (70.41%), with higher education (75%), from the Southeast region (58%). The instrument used was an online questionnaire with open questions about the perception of creativity. Through content analysis, it was found that participants describe creativity through cognitive characteristics (fluency, flexibility, elaboration and originality), with teachers showing greater emphasis on the creative environment, while students believe that the person and the process are aspects that can stimulate the expression of creativity. The results are in line with others found in the literature, reinforcing the importance that creativity is inserted in the training of teachers and worked with students.

V. Buriak’s information intellectualism as a component of V. Zdoroveha’s journalistic skill concept

Introduction. The relevance of the research is conditioned by the need to holistically study the results for theoretical investigations by the well-known journalism theorists in terms of paradigm shifts in journalism and the transformation of “journalistic skills” definition which happened over the past decades. Against this background, a natural question arises as regards having a positive effect on an author’s creation, that enables developing the highest forms of the information and artistic expression and interpretation of a fact. According to V. Yo. Zdoroveha, such main characteristics of creativity as novelty, and the shattering of stereotypes should come out from journalists’ perception activities, and the movement of creative consciousness towards the new forms and methods of the reality interpretation. His concept was further extended by V. D. Buriak, who introduced the concept of “information intellectualism”, which made it possible to consider regular processes in terms of postmodern thinking. The purpose of the article is an attempt to recognize information intellectualism as a conscious and creative addition to the well-known concept of V. Zdorovega and one of the main criteria in assessing the level of professional skill of a journalist. Research methods. Using analysis (including a content analysis), synthesis, generalization, comparison, and other methods we specified the elements of journalistic creativity as a gradual path to journalistic skills in V. Yo. Zdoroveha and V. D. Buriak’s studies. In particular, by means of the comparison analysis we have identified patterns as regards the development of journalistic skills in the constant media environment; the synthesis method allowed us to combine several characteristics contributing to information intellectualism into one matrix; the generalization method we used to formulate general conclusions; we applied the logical, chronological, and historical methods to trace V. Yo. Zdoroveha’s concept transformation, taking into account V. D. Buriak’s scientific conclusions. Thanks to the above-mentioned methods, the author built a research algorithm, which provided for the consistent tracking of the transformation of the well-known concept of journalistic skill towards the intellectualization of the author’s consciousness, which is an absolute requirement of the time. At the same time, the prospect of further addition and expression of the conceptual foundations of journalistic work according to V. Zdrovega appeared. Conclusions and research perspectives. Journalistic skills as the highest manifestation of journalistic creativity should always be monitored by both scientists and editors, as well as by the entire journalistic community, because the journalistic skills were noted by V. Yo. Zdoroveha to be not only the movement of creative consciousness towards the new forms and methods of the reality interpretation, but the result of the active involvement in solving social problems. That is why information intellectualism, introduced by V. D. Buriak, as a manifestation of information and creative perception, should become the main evaluation criterion for creative journalistic activities. To become a true journalist, one should consistently combine the moral and civic qualities with the psychological and literary components, provided that a high-level information intellectualism in journalism is essential. Interpreting the views on journalistic activity like that, the author suggests considering V. Yo. Zdoroveha’s concept as the leading one for evaluating journalistic skills. V. D. Buriak widened the concept, completed it with new definitions and a new dimension. His concept of information polyphony, which is enriched with the advent of new media, can become an extension of the “creative consciousness” theory. The author also suggests that modern journalism can lean in that direction amid the rapid media transformation. The issues raised in this study still remain undetermined to evaluate the professional activities of bloggers, rewriters, copywriters, as well as new networks users.

Путь к читателю: Ф. Сологуб и его первые книги

The study looks at the period of F. Sologub's entry into literature, especially the time of the first book editions (“Poems. Book One”, “Heavy dreams”, “Shadows. Stories and poems”). The process of forming the literary reputation of F. Sologub in 1896–1898 was chosen as the subject of consideration. The history of the publication of the first collection of poems as one of the most significant moments of literary biography reflects the orientation towards a particular audience and allows us to assess the vector of perception of creativity which is given to criticism by the writer himself. The revealed archival materials and the bibliographic searches carried out make it possible to more fully evaluate the perception of the first collection of F. Sologub, as well as the participation and role of the writer in distributing books and popularizing his name in the periodicals. Having published the first collection of poems, Sologub sent out copies through Russian editorial offices of magazines and newspapers for review. According to the list of periodicals, it may be assumed that the writer targeted the provincial reader. However, Sologub did not receive the expected response, because he was identified as a representative of the emerging decadent trend, which was attacked in 1895 after the publication of the “Russian Symbolists” collection.

"ДОРОГОЙ И ГЕНИАЛЬНЫЙ НАШ УЧИТЕЛЬ...": ОБРАЗ К. БРЮЛЛОВА У ЩОДЕННИКАХ А. МОКРИЦЬКОГО, Л. ЖЕМЧУЖНИКОВА І Т. ШЕВЧЕНКА

The diaries of A. Mokrytskyi, T. Shevchenko and L. Zhemchuzhnykov are unique historical and literary documents of the 19th century. From the analyzed creation works , it becomes clear that the texts before us are different in purpose, but united by similar compositional techniques, separate themes and the image of their teacher Karl Bryullov. The research was conducted using biographical and cultural and historical methods. It has been shown that the recollections of apprentices generally overlap. They highlight different facets of Karl Bryullov's personality, as a person and an artist, depending on the point of view of memories owner and their natural features. Considered in unity, they enrich our understanding of the painter and his educational and methodical activities. The important point is that Mokrytskyi often created portrait of his teacher based on their immediate impressions, Shevchenko and Zhemchuznykov resorted to their memories. The comparison of memoirs texts and diaries of contemporaries which are often contradictory helps to reconstruct the vivid details and nuances of the image of Karl Bryullov. The special attention is spared to the general moment in diaries – ekphrasis of Bryullov's paintings (description of paintings is represented through the author's "eyes" in the form of inner speech). It is interrupted by him flashbacks and meditation upon different issues. In the texts of Mokrytsky and Zhemchuzhnykov there are many large descriptive ekphrasis, in which the authors tell in detail about everything depicted in the picture. In Shevchenko's diary, there is no purely informative ekphrasis of an artistic work with a characteristic lengthy description. The writer shifts the emphasis from the story about the art object to its aesthetic impact (subjective impression), own reflection, critical perception of creativity, comparison.

СИТУАТИВНО-ТЕМАТИЧЕСКИЕ ЗАДАНИЯ НА ЗАНЯТИЯХ РУССКОГО ЯЗЫКА КАК ИНОСТРАННОГО

The main task of learning Russian as a Foreign Language is the formation of communicative competence. During each lesson, the teacher stimulates the speech activity of students by different means. The situation as a category of teaching methodology forms the basis of communication organization when teaching Russian as a Foreign Language, and the process of teaching speaking is based on the continuous change of various speech situations. Situational-thematic tasks are an effective way to motivate speech activity, the formation and development of speech skills. With their help, you can interest students, focus their attention on specific problems, prepare them for creative perception of the material being studied. Situational-thematic tasks allow you to get closer to the real conditions of communication, to form the necessary skills for the implementation of communicative intentions in speech situations, to work out speech situations at different stages of learning Russian as a Foreign Language. Returning to the topics covered contributes to the actualization of the studied speech and grammatical patterns and vocabulary on other topics, corresponds to the principle of cyclical learning process, which consists in the transition from quantitative accumulation of knowledge to qualitative transformation of the state of readiness of the student to solve educational tasks at a new level of complexity. This approach accelerates the socio-cultural adaptation of foreign students, increases motivation to learn the Russian language, makes classes more diverse and contributes to the formation of communicative competence. The effectiveness of situationally thematic tasks depends on their compliance with certain criteria (relevance of the topic, targeting, connection with real situations, etc.). The execution of tasks should be preceded by an analysis of the components of the situation. Gradually, situational-thematic tasks should become more complicated: the problem posed may involve several solutions, not only typical. The content of the task should stimulate the analysis of the situation, on the basis of which conclusions are drawn, personal opinion is expressed, a position is built in relation to the problem posed.

Роман Натаниэля Готорна «The Scarlet Letter» в творческом сознании И. С. Тургенева: от чтения к интерпретации

The paper addresses the problem of Ivan Turgenev’s perception of the literary work of Nathaniel Hawthorne. For the Russian writer, the turn of the 1840s and the 1850s was a time of crisis of artistic manner. During a period of intense creative reflection, the writer came across Hawthorne’s novel “The Scarlet Letter” with its blend of romantic and realistic traits of the characters. It was the London edition (1852), its pages still bearing nail and pencil marks revealing a sensitive perception and understanding of the romantic world of puritan Boston and the ways of its artistic recreation. The Russian writer discovers the image of Esther and the pictures of nature intended to reveal her character. In addition, Turgenev acquires the author’s complex allegory embracing the images of Pearl and the letter “A.” The marks on the pages of The Scarlet Letter trace a creative perception of the novel manifested when Turgenev worked on “Rudin” (1856). The pages of Turgenev’s first novel provide a picture of Russian reality, with important questions about the social and spiritual life of society being addressed. This prioritization reflects the impact of “The Scarlet Letter”. “Rudin” echoes Hawthorne’s novel, both in the general framing of the moral and philosophical issues and the specificity of the main characters.

First, there were no significant differences found between the experimental and the control group in terms of language performance. Second, the experimental group indicated substantial improvement in creativity, especially regarding fluency and originality. Finally, the results revealed positive changes in students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and attitudes toward English learning. The findings of this study are expected to provide practical insights to English teachers and educators who hope to foster creativity in students by supporting a creativity-enhanced language classroom.

CREATIVITY AS THE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT AND SELF-REALIZATION

The main feature of creativity is the creation of new values of material and spiritual culture. Modern scientists, when exploring creativity, use two basic approaches, one of which views creativity as an activity that creates a new product that has social value, and the second approach defines creativity as a means of self-realization of man. The self-development of man has caused the attention of the philosophers of the ancient world. The development of both physical and spiritual, intellectual abilities of man were interested in ancient philosophers, such as Democritus, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, who believed that self-development was the main purpose of human life.Creativity in antiquity is considered in the aspect of the divine, as the creation of cosmos and human-craft, art, where creativity is embodied in subject-practical activity. Thomas Aquinas, Aurelius Augustine, Erasmus Rotterdam, J. Bruno, B. Spinoza linked self-development with the need to improve human spiritual forces. The Renaissance embodies the idea that man is a master and sculptor himself, and knowledge is an act of individual creativity. For representatives of German classical philosophy G. Hegel, I. Kant, F. Schelling Self-Development is a freedom of choice. In N. Berdyaev, creativity is a higher manifestation of the spiritual essence of man. G. Skovoroda, because of the principle of “affinity”, considers the conditions for the development of human creative abilities. Undoubtedly, the center of creativity is the personality itself, without which creative activity is impossible. Personality has knowledge and skills, abilities, motivation through which it has the opportunity to create a new, unique product. And in order to reveal and expand creative opportunities, personality, it is necessary to have a developed imagination, intuition, creative perception, creative thinking and motivation for the activity in which it can self-actualize itself. Self-development, self-realization of personality, integrity of the components of its individuality is a consequence and condition of creative activity, and the development of socially significant values contributes to improving the level of social maturity of the individual. Therefore, we can talk about the interdependence of creative activity and self-realization of personality in society.

Neoplatonism and Byzantine Patristics: The Relationship of Plotinus’ Concept of the Triad and the Christian Doctrine of the Holy Trinity

Traces the continuity of the ideas of Neoplatonism in Greek-Byzantine Patristics in the process of developing the orthodox doctrine of the Holy Trinity by the Church Fathers. The author emphasizes commonalities and distinctions in Neoplatonism and Christianity. Plotinus’ concept of the triad, the One - the Intellect - the Soul, is considered with a focus on the analysis of Plotinus’ ideas regarding the One as Deity and the Origin of the world. The process of emanation of the Neo-platonic trinity hypostasis and its connection through the World Soul with the material world is highlighted. The formation of the dogma of the Holy Trinity in classical Eastern (Greek-Byzantine) Patristics is presented in comparison with Neoplatonism. The ideas of Arius and Arianism, which also absorbed Neoplatonism, but created a theology of a different, unorthodox persuasion, are considered. The provisions of Athanasius of Alexandria, a representative of classical Patristics, on the Holy Trinity and Arius are compared. The creative perception of Plotinus’ conceptual positions in the works of St. Athanasius is presented and their difference is analyzed. In particular, the concepts of the One, the Intellect, and the Soul of Plotinus and St. Athanasius’ understanding of God the Father, the Son of God and the Holy Spirit are considered. The peculiarity of the emergence and existence of the hypostases in Plotinus’ triad in the dialectical process of successive emanation is highlighted. The existence of the hypostases in the triadic dogma of Christianity is shown as the same in being (homoousion) of the three Persons of the Trinity united by a single divine essence. The theological interpretation of the intra-divine life of the Trinity and its philosophical-religious expression in the categories “unborn” (Father), “begotten” (Son of God), “proceeding from the Father” (Holy Spirit) are revealed. The concepts of emanation (Neoplatonism) and proceeding (Patristics) are compared.

Kyiv School of Political Economy as a subject of scientific studies

The main purpose of this paper was the historical and economic analysis of the Kyiv School of Political Economy representation in the modern scientific literature and the systematization of approaches to determining this community of Kyiv economists. Analysis showed that in the Soviet period the scientific heritage of this community of scholars had been critical, and the school itself had been defined as bourgeois. At the end of the 20th century researchers began to show a creative perception of scientific achievements of the 19th – early 20th century economists, including Kyiv scholars’ achievements. The number of historical and economic studies were increased and the issues diversified. The author of this paper systematized approaches to studying the Kyiv School based on the complex analysis of modern scientific literature. These approaches are legal, financial, managerial and political-economic. Within these approaches, researchers study Kyiv University School of Police Law, Kyiv School of Financial Law, Kyiv Financial School, School of Ukrainian Management Scientific Thought, Kyiv Psychological School of Political Economy, Kyiv School of Economics, Kyiv School of Political Economy, etc. The most common one is the political-economic approach, within which researchers study the methodology and scientific achievements of the Kyiv school and some of its representatives in the field of economic research. The author emphasized that such a variety of different approaches is generated by the multifaceted Kyiv School’ scientific achievements that give food for research to modern specialists in various fields of economics and law. It was concluded that an attempt to reduce the community of Kyiv scholars to one scientific school, focusing on the only research area, would be artificial as it would cut off other areas that don’t meet the requirements of the chosen peculiarity.

The experiences and views of autistic children participating in multimodal view-seeking research

ABSTRACT Autistic children face significant barriers to having their views listened to in research. Inaccessible research encounters and inflexible communication strategies on the part of a research team can prevent opportunities for children to engage meaningfully in the research. Researchers must strive to offer opportunities for meaningful self-expression, and improve the way they seek autistic children’s points of view. This article explores ways to engage with, and listen to, the views of autistic children in school-based research contexts. Twelve autistic children took part in view-seeking research about their school and playground environment, and reflected on their experience of taking part in the research. The children contributed their ideas through walking tours, photography, LEGO® models, and interviews with the researcher and their peers. The multimodal qualitative data were analysed iteratively and thematically, with findings highlighting issues of perceptions of audience, creativity, control and enjoyment. The different research activities stimulated diverse modes of expression and generated different kinds of insights. Implications are considered for how researchers can seek to creatively co-develop engagement and opportunities for self-expression with children who participate in research. This research emphasizes the importance of creating accessible and meaningful opportunities to engage with and foreground autistic children’s perspectives.

Dostoevsky and Pisemsky: The Calligraphic Inscription “Nevedomov” in the Draft Notes for the Novel “Demons”

The article is devoted to the analysis of the calligraphic inscription “Nevedomov” in the drafts for Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel “Demons” and contains new facts of this work’s creative history related to the artistic reception of the work of Alexey Pisemsky and, in particular, the novel “People of the Forties” (1869). In addition to textual issues, the paper examines Dostoevsky’s attitude to the works of Pisemsky, the literary images created by both authors in the context of the theme of the Forties, key aspects of the study of this topic in literary criticism. A comparative analysis of the motif and figurative structure of the novels “Demons” and “People of the Forties” is proposed, allowing to identify the specifics of the artistic narrative in both works and the peculiarities of the creative perception of the problems in Pisemsky’s novel during the period of Dostoevsky’s work on “Demons.”
