The implications of educational games on the development of children's intellectual abilities

Educational games have emerged as powerful tools in contemporary pedagogy, leveraging interactive and engaging platforms to enhance children's intellectual abilities. This research explores the multifaceted implications of educational games on cognitive development focusing on critical thinking, problem-solving skills and knowledge retention among children. This study used a mixed-data collection strategy. The goal of this research was to determine the impact of developed educational game technology on improving children's intellectual abilities. The study included 43 participants. According to the study, children have an average level of intellectual development. In this regard, training preschool-aged children required modifications to the content, procedural and personal aspects of learning for children using educational game technology. The study's findings revealed that incorporating educational game technological advances into the process of training children improved their cognitive abilities. Teachers can improve their teaching strategies using the useful tools and materials provided by the study's findings on the usage of educational games to support children' intellectual development. This research underscores the importance of integrating educational games into curricula to maximize their intellectual benefits and prepare children for future academic and life challenges.

The Beauty of the Raku technique in the Works of Potters Shenyar Abdullah and Yaqoub Al-Atoum

Art is an aesthetic message and a means of human communication with its surroundings, as it influences and is influenced by everything that surrounds it, as scientific and intellectual development has a great role in developing the means used in it with the multiplicity of options offered in terms of raw materials and techniques. Undoubtedly, the art of ceramics is one of the arts developed in terms of technology, indicating the development and sophistication of societies throughout history. It offers an aesthetic and utilitarian taste to the community. The color is one of the main elements in the process of adding an aesthetic touch to the surface of the ceramic piece, and this was evident in ceramics of all ages and times, and the implemented idea plays a role in showing an expressive and aesthetic vision in the ceramic surface and in order to keep pace with the rest of the plastic arts. Therefore, the potter always tries to innovate by experimenting with materials and techniques. Accordingly, the potter, especially the Arab potter, relied on coexistence with the modern intellectual dimensions of the era's culture, directing him to research, experimentation, modernization and acculturation from Western arts. This prompted research into Arab ceramics and the study of its ceramic products, especially the art of ceramics and the aesthetics of the raku technique, which is considered the Technique of most potters. The research is part of the methodological framework of the research, as it contains the research question, which concludes with the following question: What is the aesthetic of the raku technique in the works of potters Shunyar Abdullah and Yaqoub Al-Atoum, then the importance of the research, which lies in highlighting the aesthetic effects of the raku technique by identifying the features and characteristics of this Technique reflected in the formal structure of Arab ceramic work and identifying the different reduction processes in this Technique and its impact on the artistic works of potters Shunyar Abdullah and Yaqoub Al-Atoum, to benefit researchers and specialists and enrich scientific libraries and students in the field of ceramics. After that, the aim of the research was discussed: The objective of the research was to identify the raku technique in the works of potters Shinyar Abdullah and Yaqoub Al-Atoum, and then the limits of the research were reached in terms of the objective limits, which were determined by the aesthetic of the raku technique in the works of potters Shinyar Abdullah and Yaqoub Al-Atoum and the temporal limits, which were represented by the period between (2012-2021), the spatial limits (Iraq and Jordan) and the human limits of the potters Shinyar Abdullah and Yaqoub Atoum, and the chapter ends with the definition of the most important terms.

Praktek Terbaik dalam Model Kurikulum dan Pembelajaran Pendidikan Islam Tradisional

Traditional Islamic education, particularly through pesantren, has a rich and important history in the development of Islam in Indonesia since the 7th century AD. Its role is significant in preserving religious identity, advancing knowledge, maintaining the Arabic language, strengthening morality, and perpetuating Islamic culture. The main principles of traditional Islamic education curriculum include monotheism (tauhid), the Quran and Sunnah, religious knowledge, character formation, practical skills, contextualization, and personality development. This research employs literature method and qualitative approach by gathering data from various sources such as books, journals, and digital sources. This allows for a deeper understanding of effective teaching methods including student-centered approaches, experiential learning, technology utilization, and collaboration. The integration of spiritual and intellectual development creates balanced and conscious individuals. Adapting traditional practices into modern education combines cultural values with relevant technology. Preserving the essence of traditional Islamic education in the present era requires deep understanding, integration with modern science, engaged learning, character education, cultural preservation, and teacher development. Thus, traditional Islamic education remains relevant and beneficial for the development of better individuals and society.

Методика «Эталоны» для оценки развития восприятия современных старших дошкольников (действие отнесения к эталону)

<p>Adaptation and standardization of the “Standards” test from a set of mental development diagnostic methods for preschool children (L.A. Venger and co-workers) were carried out, aimed at assessing the level of development of the action of comparison with the standard for older preschoolers. Two groups of children took part in the study: 1062 children aged 5-6 years (average age 66±3 months) and 1574 children aged 6-7 years (average age 77±3 months). Both versions of “Standards” test (for six- and seven-year-old children) showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0,80-0,88; SRMR=0,02; CFI=0,99 for both samples). External validity is confirmed by correlations with intellectual development level, measured by Raven's Colored Progressive Matrices test (r=0,51 for children of the sixth year of life and r=0,39 for children of the seventh year of life). No differences were found by gender or the presence of disabilities. Age norms for modern children for the action of comparison with the standard have been determined. An adapted version of the test can be used by psychologists for scientific and practical purposes, to accompany the educational process that promotes the development of perception in children of senior preschool age.</p>

Different perspectives on the reception and appropriation of Piagetian ideas in the Brazilian context

The recently released book The transnational legacy of Jean Piaget: a view from the 21st century, published by Springer Nature, aims to internationally disseminate the studies carried out by the Helena Antipoff Documentation and Research Center (CDPHA) at the Federal University of Minas Gerais. Organized and edited by Regina Helena de Freitas Campos and Erika Lourenço (UFMG), in partnership with Marc J. Ratcliff (Université de Genève), the book has 19 chapters that explore various aspects of Piaget's influence. Among the topics covered, the following stand out: the clinical method for monitoring and intervening in the demands of children and adolescents; the historical-critical method for analyzing the interaction between internal and external factors in the History of Science; the right to education as a basis for intellectual and moral development; the promotion of peace; and multiculturalism as a tool for facilitating communication between different perspectives.

Black Folk, Then and Now and the Late Du Bois’ Marxist Dialectic

This paper seeks to examine Du Bois’ positive engagement with the Marxist dialectical categories that are the corner-stone of the politico-philosophical tradition, as in Berteli Oilman's Dance of The Dialectic and Fredrich Engels’ Anti-Duhring. Du Bois’ relationship to Marxism remains downplayed and understudied due to anti-communist historiography and postmodernist interpretations. W. E. B. Du Bois’ 1939 work Black Folk, Then and Now demonstrates the centrality of Marxist dialectics to his work, clarifying his philosophical and historiographical development after completing Black Reconstruction. This abstract and philosophical reading of Black Folk, Then and Now reveals not merely that the late Du Bois’ radicalism can be categorized as Marxian but also that his late works cannot be understood without an understanding of Marxist political economy and philosophy, revealing that Black Folk, Then and Now is a centerpiece of the scholar-activist's intellectual development.

Approach to the Patient: Diagnosis and Treatment with Growth Hormone of Turner Syndrome and its Variants.

Turner syndrome (TS) is characterized by a partial or complete absence of the second X chromosome in female. Here, patients with Xp deletion involving SHOX haploinsufficiency caused by unbalanced X-autosome translocations were discussed and considered as TS variants. This work aimed to expand the current knowledge of TS and unbalanced X-autosome translocations and to suggest the definition, clinical characteristics, diagnosis workflow and growth hormone (GH) treatment strategy of TS and its variants. A 9.0-year-old patient of TS variant with tall target height (+2.03SD) but low height velocity (3.6cm/y) and height (-1.33SD) was evaluated as an example. Patients similar to the index patient were systematically searched in MEDLINE and EMBASE and summarized. A diagnosis workflow and scores for risk assessment of GH treatment (RiGHT scores) for TS variants were also proposed in this study. According to the diagnosis workflow, the girl's karyotype was confirmed as 46,X,der(X)t(X;7)(p11.3; p14.1), and was evaluated as low risk using RiGHT scores. After 2-year GH treatment, she had a significantly increased height (-0.94SD). Moreover, a total of 13 patients from 10 studies were summarized, characterized as short stature, growth retardation, craniofacial abnormalities, disorders of intellectual development, and psychomotor delays. Risk assessment of GH treatment using RiGHT scores were also applied in these 13 patients. The patients with Xp deletion caused by unbalanced X-autosome translocations should be considered as TS variants. The diagnosis workflow and RiGHT scores is a useful approach for clinicians in addressing complex cases of TS variants with GH treatment in clinical practice.

Educational Comics Based-Local Folktales and Its Effects on Reading Literacy of Rural Primary School Students

Reading is a basic literacy that plays an important role in the intellectual development of students. Based on various surveys, it was identified that the reading competence of Indonesian students was very low. The research aims was to implement educative comics based on local folktale and examine its effect on increasing reading literacy of in rural rural primary school students. The research is a quasi-experimental design with pre-test-post-test non-equivalent control group design. The participants were 3rd grade elementary school students in rural Karanganyar Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Sampling was done by purposive sampling and cluster random sampling technique. There were 58 students in the experimental group and 56 students in the control group from 2 different elementary schools, but their qualifications were both in the good category. In learning to read, the experimental group used educational comic books containing local folktales while the control group used texts containing local folktale. Reading literacy competency data was obtained through paper and pencil tests. The data obtained were analysed descriptively and inferentially using t-test. The results of the study prove that there is a significant effect of educational comics based on local folktale on students' reading literacy competence. Local folktale supported by images is suspected to facilitate the availability of context so that the substance of the text is easier to understand. Therefore, teachers are advised to use image support in learning to cover learning losses due to the pandemic, especially in rural schools which experience many obstacles in distance learning.

Mieczysław Wallis – historyk sztuki czy filozof?

The paper presents a scientific profile of Mieczysław Wallis in the perspective of the question of his intellectual status. The author looks for the answer within two areas that were the subject of Wallis’ interest: philosophy and history of art. She analyses the path of Wallis’ intellectual development and the formation of his creative interests: from his education (in Heidelberg and Warsaw) and inspirations, through his first intellectual concerns, to an analysis of his scientific output. In his youth, Wallis wrote about the desire to create a philosophical system. Did this aspiration determine his scientific work, and to what extent? Did it set the course of his intellectual path? Was Wallis’ profile dichotomous in nature? For, as a philosopher, Wallis asked himself a fundamental question about the phenomenon of human being and its relation to the world. As a historian of art, he sought the answer by analyzing the world of man’s creative activity, his aesthetic experiences and artistic creations. Thus, on the one hand, the author emphasizes the role of philosophy in the development of Wallis’ intellectual views; on the other hand, she points to the philosophical depth of his achievements in the field of art theory.

Clinical and biochemical evolution after partial dietary liberalization of two cases of galactosemia due to galactose mutarotase deficiency

BackgroundThe recommended diet attitude in the recently described galactose mutarotase (GALM) deficiency is not yet established. We describe two 9-years twins who remain asymptomatic despite prolonged partial dietary liberalization from 18 months of age, after two periods of galactose-free diet. It represents the second report in Europe of GALM deficiency.Case presentationTwo male monochorionic diamniotic twins were detected through newborn screening by galactosuria and increased total blood galactose. They started galactose dietary restriction with biochemical normalization. After exclusion of the three previously described types of galactosemia, a progressively galactose reintroduction was initiated. The clinical follow-up developed include neurological assessment and intelligence quotient, annual ophthalmological evaluation and biannual abdominal ultrasound; whereas the biochemical assessment comprises quarterly determinations of galactose 1-phosphate and galactosuria and annual determination of liver and renal function, 25-OH-vitamin D and calcium levels. Sanger sequencing of GALM gene was complemented by the study of gene dose using SNPs array and a protein modeling to study the conformational changes induced in GALM protein. In both siblings a novel and complete deletion of exon 4 in GALM gene was detected. Both remained asymptomatic, with normal growth and intellectual development, despite dietary liberalization. Evolutionarily, the biochemical profile in blood remained normal with intermittent galactosuria.ConclusionsThe absence of clinical involvement after 7 years of dietary liberalization is interesting to expand the knowledge about the recommended dietary management in this pathology.

The Role of Teachers as Philosophers in Madrasah Education: Qualitative Analysis of Teaching Practices at MAS Babul Khairat

This research analyzes the role of teachers as philosophers at MAS Babul Khairat, the teaching practices implemented, and the challenges faced. The findings show that teachers at this madrasah not only function as academic teachers but also as moral and intellectual mentors who integrate Islamic values ​​in teaching. They use a variety of innovative methods, such as discussions, group projects, and problem-based approaches, to encourage students' critical and reflective thinking. In addition, teachers act as role models in everyday behavior, which helps students understand and apply ethical values ​​in their lives. However, the research also identified a number of challenges faced by teachers, including limited resources, high workloads, lack of ongoing professional training, and pressure to meet high academic standards. These challenges highlight the need for greater support from schools and government, including restructuring teacher duties, increasing educational resources, and ongoing professional training. With adequate support, teachers at MAS Babul Khairat can continue to develop effective and innovative teaching practices, and better play their role as philosophers. This research confirms that with strong commitment and the right support, teachers can create a learning environment that is conducive to students' intellectual, moral and spiritual development.

Social intelligence of cadets of the security and defence sector higher education institutions who receive higher education in the specialities of “Law” and “Psychology”

The article emphasises that for the actors of the security and defence sector, solving various communication situations is a constant and important task which can become difficult to perform if the social intelligence abilities are not sufficiently developed. A comparative analysis of the peculiarities of social intelligence abilities of higher education students of higher education institutions of the security and defence sector, who study in the specialities of “Law” and “Psychology”, was carried out. It is emphasized that the specificity of the social situation of the study participants' intellectual abilities development is due to certain features: lockdowns and quarantines of 2020–2021 with the vast majority of distance education, which were caused by the spread of the COVID-19 virus infection; martial law, which has been in force since February 2022. The senior students of Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs and the Military Law Institute of Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University took part in the study. The empirical data were obtained using J. Guilford’s psychodiagnostic methodology for studying social intelligence. It has been found that the general level of social intelligence of most of the surveyed cadets corresponded to the average level. It has been shown that the general level of social intelligence of the cadets studying “Psychology” was higher than that of the cadets studying “Law”. It has been revealed that the differences in the level of social intelligence of the surveyed groups of cadets were due to a statistically significantly higher level of development of the ability to predict the consequences of the behaviour of others in typical conditions among cadets studying “Psychology” and a more developed ability to understand the logic of interaction situations and the significance of people's behaviour in these situations. It has been established that the most developed ability of social intelligence of the study participants studying in the speciality “Law” was the ability to understand the change in the meaning of similar verbal reactions of a person depending on the context of the situation that caused them. It has been argued that the specific social conditions of personality formation of higher education students in recent years have not significantly affected the level of development of their social intelligence abilities. The main directions of development of social intelligence abilities of cadets studying in different specialities are presented.

A Study of Group Work Intervention on Children’s Concentration in Lower Grades: A Case Study of Children’s Concentration Enhancement Group in Elementary Schools

According to the survey on the concentration level of children in the lower grades, the results show that most of the children have concentration deficits. Concentration ability plays a crucial role in children’s intellectual development. With the continuous development of science and technology, different types of electronic products are emerging, which will undoubtedly create a great temptation for children. This hinders the development of children’s ability to concentrate, which not only affects the development of their own ability but also poses a threat to their future development. Therefore, it becomes an essential course to improve children’s ability to concentrate. This paper adopts research methods such as participant observation method and interview method, based on social learning theory, social support theory, and other related theories, through the J City social work service agency selected six children in the lower grades who are not focused and voluntarily participate in this activity into group activities, analyzed the practical effect of group work intervention in the lower grades concentration and problems from the practical point of view. On this basis, corresponding countermeasures are proposed to improve the quality of group intervention services. This paper found that the practical effects of group work intervention on children’s concentration in the lower grades include: improving children’s concentration, promoting children’s self-knowledge, and enhancing children’s self-confidence. Problems include insufficient parental participation and insufficient peer group social interaction. The following countermeasures are proposed: building a platform for peer interaction to improve children’s concentration; constructing a social support network for children with the participation of multiple parties; social workers clarifying their own role positioning and flexibly switching their roles; and enhancing their professional competence and strengthening their practical work skills.

The impact of artificial intelligence on intellectual capital development: Shifting requirements for professions and processes in the non-profit sector

THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF THE CONCEPT OF «KEY COMPETENCIES OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS»

The study conducts a systematic theoretical analysis of the concept of «key competencies of future specialists» in line with the ideas and provisions of modern foreign and domestic regulatory documents, scientific positions of leading scientists in the subject area, and methodological materials of practicing teachers. The purpose of the article is to identify the theoretical foundations of the interpretation of the concept of «key competencies of future specialists» in the educational and professional contexts of training in institutions of pre-university and higher education by means of generalization, comparison and synthesis of leading scientific positions. The article analyzes the interrelationships and dependencies of the concepts of «competence approach», «competence», «key competence»; the scientific approaches of domestic and foreign scientists to the systematic classification of groups of personal competencies (key – over subject, inter-subject; subject – acquired in the course of studying a particular discipline). The conclusions are drawn that competencies are a dynamic combination of knowledge, understanding, skills, abilities and abilities. The development of competencies is the goal of educational programs. Competencies are formed in different academic disciplines and assessed at different stages. Scientists argue that the competency-based approach, along with specific knowledge and skills, includes abilities, readiness to learn, readiness for professional activity, social skills, etc.; all these qualities are formed in the process of professional training. Modern employers are increasingly prioritizing the requirements for graduates of higher and higher education institutions to have systemic, intellectual, and communication skills, the ability to self-organize and organize the activities of employees, and the ability to reflect on their own activities, so society's requirements for the educational activities of vocational schools are constantly growing. The main features of the key competencies of future specialists are: multifunctionality (allowing to solve various problems of everyday professional or social life); supersubjectivity and interdisciplinarity (can be applied not only in the process of education, but also at work, in the family, in the political sphere); multidimensionality (including thought processes, intellectual skills, creative discoveries); determining the need for intellectual development of the individual (abstract thinking, critical thinking, self-reflection, recognition of one's own position).

Aportaciones de Pedro Laín Entralgo a una psicología y psiquiatría centrada en la persona

The following pages show how Laín's research has contributed to a theoretical foundation of medical humanism and, specifically, of psychology and psychiatry. From a very young age, Pedro Laín Entralgo (1908-2001) began to develop an integrative style of science and humanism in order to humanize knowledge about man in general and sick people in particular, as well as the treatment of the patient understood as a subject who seeks his natural good as well as personal good. Regarding the ethical aspects of technical friendship between doctor and patient, he shows his commitment to the recovery of a professional with a soul. C. Gustav Jung (1875-1961) walked along the same path, advising health professionals: “know all the theories, master all the techniques, but when touching a human soul, be just another human soul.” The article has a biographical approach from which to show the influences that marked Laín's intellectual and personal development and then indicates the fundamental contributions to a study of the person from a comprehensive perspective.

Первые педологи Чувашской Республики и их опыт исследования чувашских детей

The article is devoted to the study of the activities of pedologists of the Chuvash ASSR and aims to analyze the historically first study devoted to the intelligence of Chuvash children. The study is based on the publications of the first pedologists from Chuvashia F. P. Petrov and M. E. Efimov. In accordance with the historical and psychological methods described by V. A. Koltsova, the work uses problematic and source study methods. The study is written in the aspect of the history of pedagogy. A graduate student of the Kazan Oriental Pedagogical Institute, F. P. Petrov with a team of students, for the first time carried out a comprehensive study of the intellectual development of Chuvash children using the Binet-Simon test method, widely known among Soviet pedologists. At first, pedologists took the test method in Russian, then it was translated into the Chuvash language with appropriate text changes in relation to the everyday and speech characteristics of the Chuvash. The result of the study was the book published in Cheboksary, "The experience of studying the intellectual development of Chuvash children using the Binet-Simon method", published in 1928. The book caused serious objections from the head of the pedological office at the Chuvash Scientific Research Institute M. E. Efimov; he believed that the author was biased against Chuvash children and violated the methodological principle of making tests. The correspondence polemic between two Chuvash pedologists about the measurement of children’s intelligence, along with similar cases in the country’s republics, prompted L. S. Vygotsky to call for an understanding of the problems of national pedology, with its leading problem – the measurement of intelligence.
