Item FORMATION OF ELEMENTARY QUANTITATIVE CONCEPTS IN 6 – 7-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN THROUGH PLAY-DRAMATIZATION(Plovdiv University Press "Paisii Hilendarski", 2024) Angelova, KetiThis article aims to emphasize the importance and importance of pedagogical play in the formation of knowledge and skills in the process of education of children from the preparatory groups of kindergarten. It is a known fact that play with all its emotion and colorfulness in its application, ennobles the educational environment and activates the desire of children to participate voluntarily in pedagogical situations. Each interaction that is prepared and conducted according to the requirements of game technology marks high educational results and leaves a deep mark in the socio-emotional intelligence of 6 – 7-year-old children. Here is the moment when we should also note the importance of games-dramatizations and children's theater games. Deep down, they remind us of story-role-playing games, which gives us reason to see them as their variety. In essence, games-dramatizations open vast expanses to children and their imagination. They open new horizons when getting acquainted with new knowledge or consolidating it. They open new horizons when getting acquainted with new knowledge or consolidating it. Therefore, it is important to reflect the role of children's theater games in forming elementary quantitative ideas of children from the preparatory groups of kindergartens.Item BILINGUISM AND DYSLEXIA(Plovdiv University Press "Paisii Hilendarski", 2024) Chobanova, LilyanaIn bilingualism there is a mixture of two language systems of the native language, which in preschool and primary school age is not sufficiently mastered and studied, and foreign, taught on the basis of the native. In the speech of children bilingual influence of the native language system is manifested in the speech. In the context of bilingualism, the child faces difficulties in applying specific rules for the use of sounds and words derived from the transfer of characteristic linguistic concepts and generalizations from one language to another. In this regard, in the process of mastering oral speech linguistic laws of the native language come into conflict with the well-learned rules, phenomena and facts from a foreign language. Its speech is illiterate, and its thoughts are presented in simplified sentence constructions.Item THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM IN SUPPORT OF ROMA PARENTS(Plovdiv University Press "Paisii Hilendarski", 2024) Velichkova, MariaThe article outlines the significance of the multidisciplinary team in providing support to Roma parents with children of preschool age for educational integration.

Features of the online e-book creation platform Book Creator are presented, which make it a must-have tool in the arsenal of the modern elementary school teacher. In order to assess the possibilities for the application of electronic books in primary school and in particular in the teaching of mathematics from 1st to 4th grade, a survey was carried out with 125 primary teachers from the Plovdiv Region. In it, they share the positive sides and disadvantages of using ready-made e-books and creating author's ones. The results of the conducted survey show that primary school teachers appreciate the possibility of e-books having a different format, containing audio files, video files and additional resources, as well as being available on the Internet, and as their disadvantage they indicate the time needed to create such resource type. The conducted research shows that e-books successfully find their place in primary school education and in particular in mathematics education.Item PLAY AS A MEAN OF STIMULATING THE LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN(Plovdiv University Press "Paisii Hilendarski", 2024) Bahchevanova, TeodoraThis article examines the importance of play for the language development of preschool children. It describes types of communicative skills as well as the dynamics of children's acquisition of these skills. The article focuses on the role of play as an essential and stimulating tool for enriching speech skills. A survey was conducted to explore the views of educational professionals on the use of play as a means of promoting language development. The questionnaire consisted of 12 questions aimed at gathering actual information about the place of play activities as main means of stimulating speech activity. It also takes into account the effectiveness of incorporating different types of play in the educational process. Although some teachers reported challenges in using games, such as limited time, managing noise and difficulties in finding appropriate games, the analyses suggest that play can be a valuable tool for teachers to develop preschool children's language skills.Item DEVIANT BEHAVIOR IN JUVENILES – THEORETICAL POSITIONS IN BULGARIA(Plovdiv University Press "Paisii Hilendarski", 2024) Angelova, ViktoriyaA person's behavior and attitude towards his environment depends on the moral values that are built in the family, but also in the society in which he lives. The reaction he makes to his surroundings is based on this. Each individualʼs personality is a wide range of understandings, feelings, needs, desires and thoughts. The puzzle they form is the foundation of his behavior and emotions. The moral and ethical principles that we consider correct and important are precisely the values: forgiveness, honesty, love, respect, self-control, etc. Values influence our behavior, priorities and relationships with others. But in recent decades there has been a decline in the confession of basic moral values. This article presents a general overview of the main theoretical positions in Bulgaria related to deviant behavior in youth. Knowing the specifics of the age period, namely adolescence and the main components and factors for the emergence of deviant behavior can trace clear methods and strategies for professional work and behavior rehabilitation. Social-psychological and pedagogical work with young people with deviant manifestations requires close professional and practical training of specialists from various fields.Item DEVELOPING EMPATHY IN CHILDHOOD. POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH PEERS AND PARENTS(Plovdiv University Press "Paisii Hilendarski", 2024) Angelova, DilyanaThe article discusses the theoretical underpinnings, as well as particular aspects, related to the development of empathy. Empathy arises and develops in the process of communication and is a critical skill that plays an important role in our successful social and emotional functioning. Children who feel accepted and connected to others feel liked, valued, and respected, and this positive self-image enhances their ability to initiate and maintain positive social relationships. School age is the time when children begin to form more complex interpersonal relationships, experience heightened emotional sensitivity, and the way they make sense of and perceive others and the world becomes increasingly detailed. In the space of social relationships, the relationship between friendship and empathy is central. Friendship is revealed as the basis for developing empathy and at the same time as a requirement for creating and maintaining a friendship relationship.Item MANIFESTATIONS OF PERSONAL ANXIETY IN THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT AMONG ADOLESCENTS(Plovdiv University Press "Paisii Hilendarski", 2024) Slavcheva-Andonova, GerganaThe article presents data from an empirical study, which aims to analyze manifestations of personal anxiety in a school environment in 339 adolescents between the age of 13 and 17 who study in general education and vocational schools in our country. Attached is an author's version of the "Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale", created by S. Reynolds and B. Richmond (Reynolds, Richmond, 1978), adapted for Bulgarian environment by P. Kalchev (Kalchev, 2006). The original version of the scale contains 36 statements. In the attached author's version of the scale, the semantic structure of the statements included in the original methodology has been preserved, but they have been restructured with an orientation to the school environment. The scale is dichotomous and depending on the agreement or disagreement of the person examined, a "Yes" or "No" answer is indicated. Positive answers to 28 of the statements are indicators of the manifestation of anxiety symptoms in a school environment. The reliability of the methodology was established, related to the internal consistency of the statements, indicators of the manifestations of anxiety in a school environment. The value of the coefficient Cronbach's alpha is 0.83. The obtained results prove that the school environment is a source of anxiety symptoms, manifested in the form of anxieties, social worries, physiological reactions and nervousness for a large part of modern adolescents.Item THE VARIABILITY OF (SELF) IDENTIFICATION AS A BASIS FOR DESTRUCTIVE EXPERIENCES WHILE USING TRAINING IN EXCESSIVE OUTBURSTS (IN PREPARATION FOR A THEATRICAL ACT)(Plovdiv University Press "Paisii Hilendarski", 2024) Parlikov, ValeriyFor purpose of this exposition еxistence is defined as experiencing a monadic incarceration. Excessive behaviour reveals the illusory nature of its parameters, as it unlocks for the existence the variability of becoming. Thus, turning the act of existence into a paradox upgrades any meaningful alternative to simultaneity and because of this spill of linguistic fields into a state of indiscriminateness (where it purportedly happened), brings along the inarticulateness of the becoming (insofar as in any way it becomes in simultaneity) and ultimately also brings along a rejection of trustworthiness (towards the meaningfulness of being in communion) that validates communion itself. The excessive outburst is experienced as a traumatic destructiveness, insofar as it is a breakdown of the credibility of self-identity, its descent into an eroded togetherness and being thrown into freedom without the limit of living the me (in the too real-me, I am anyone and everyone). Therefore, the case of training in emotional outburst is not simulating life (spectacle in its traditional perception as something done), but as vital becoming and is a media (simulative) construct only in the presence of witnesses with a contextual definition of being together (and not in whole now-happening). The training of the outburst is demonstrative of the deliberateness of the protocols through which empathy is self-produced through its use to introduce trust in communication towards the futility of being in communion (if togetherness has the power of institution of the self-evident).Item PROBLEMATIZING THE ETHICAL COMPONENT OF THE EMPATHY IMAGE IN THE PROTOCOLS INSTITUTIONALIZING COMMUNICATION WITHIN A SPECIFIC CONCEPT OF CONFIDENTIALITY(Plovdiv University Press "Paisii Hilendarski", 2024) Parlikov, ValeriyInsofar as it is by definition only publicity (presenting the effects of existence as commonly perceived instances of becoming), the actuality of spectacle each time will initiate a destruction of the meaninfulness of being at all in a shareable world, marking experiential problem areas of living-together and a need for ethical algorithms (protocols of correctness, introducing criteria for an admissible norm of existence in a specific community). The subjective monopoly on the arrangement (whatever) of the World through the act of its planning, brings in, in the way of responsibility, the dependence of self-identity on freedom from the existence of the otherness (in the assumed as a quasi-ethical component of communication enactment of existence). In the algorithm of this presentation, the ethical code of the communication corresponds to the current trustworthiness of the discussion in the forum (the acted-out-as-sacred domain of consciousness), in which the intentionality of saying and the otherness invoked in it, are added to arbitrary designations of experiential manifestations. It seems impossible for the conventionalizing (the devitalizing) of the communion to present the ethical code to its understanding of the actual becoming and insofar as conventionality is rationality (it is definable, otherwise it cannot be achieved), the spectacle in the present exposition obscures it, placing the experiential emphasis on the trustworthiness of communication.Item SOCIAL PREDISPOSITIONS TOWARDS PERSONS WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS(Plovdiv University Press "Paisii Hilendarski", 2024) Trichkov, IvanThe purpose of the article is to raise the issue and conceptualize the influence of existing social attitudes towards persons with special educational needs. Although we live in a more liberal society and social attitudes towards people with disabilities are slowly changing, basic understandings and prejudices are still public and lead to certain discriminatory patterns. The specificity of the issue under consideration is brought out by means of an analytical theoretical formulation of established theories and concepts, on the basis of which the substantive characteristics of social attitudes towards persons with disabilities are highlighted. The theoretical analysis allows the characterization of stereotypes and social attitudes as determinants of human behavior, which conditions their rethinking as reactions and stimuli in relationships between people.Item DEVELOPMENT OF A LEARNING CULTURE IN CHILDREN OF PRESCHOOL AGE(Plovdiv University Press "Paisii Hilendarski", 2024) Ivanova, BoryanaThe article focuses on the topicality of formation of a learning culture in children aged 5 – 6 and 6 – 7 years. This culture is valuable not only in the context of school preparation but also in lifelong learning. A culture of learning is needed in all childrenʹs activities: education, play, project activities etc. Important for the development of this culture is the innovative educational environment in kindergartens. The purpose of research is to determine to what extent the components of learning culture are formed in the children in preparatory groups in kindergarten: communicative culture, ability to work in a team, ability to independently plan and organize activities, responsible attitude to tasks, problem solving skills and ability to make decisions. To achieve this aim, tasks are formulated and research is carried out, which includes observation of children from the third and fourth groups in kindergarten and a survey of teachers. The results of the scientific research highlight the different degree of formation of these skills in 5 – 6year old and 6 – 7year old children in kindergarten.Item MEANING IN LIFE AND WELL-BEING(Plovdiv University Press "Paisii Hilendarski", 2024) Sariyska, SvetlanaThe work presents an overview of empirical studies on the links between meaning in life and well-being. The first part presents the main conceptualizations of meaning, through constructs such as purpose, significance and coherence, as well as the self-regulating and motivational functions of meaning, through which influences on well-being are understood. Differences and levels in the search and achievement of meaning are traced, as well as the main sources in the search for meaning and their influences on well-being and health. The influences of meaning on happiness, resilience and coping with existential challenges, tragic optimism, positive relationships and satisfaction of belongings and significance, development of strengths and health, coping with pain, suffering and loss, longevity, healthy lifestyle and treatment of serious illnesses are discussed in detail. The relationships between meaning, loneliness, and feelings of rejection are discussed.Item DIAGNOSING AND OVERCOMING PRE-SERVICE PRIMARY TEACHERSʼ SCIENTIFIC MISCONCEPTIONS(Plovdiv University Press "Paisii Hilendarski", 2024) Epitropova, AniThis article aims to present a study focused on diagnosing and describing scientific misconceptions among pre-service primary school teachers. These misconceptions pose significant challenges to effective teaching in subjects such as social studies and natural science and must be addressed to improve educational outcomes. The goal of the study is to identify these misconceptions, understand their origins and persistence, and propose interventions. The research tasks include developing a diagnostic tool, analyzing data, and suggesting strategies for intervention. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative analyses of diagnostic data to provide a comprehensive understanding of these misconceptions. Key findings include the identification of several prevalent misconceptions and an analysis of the reasons for their occurrence. The study also highlights the difficulties in correcting these misconceptions. Conclusions emphasize the need for targeted strategies to enhance the academic preparation of primary school teachers. Recommendations include the implementation of targeted training strategies in teacher education programs to effectively address and correct these scientific misconceptions.Item COMPETENCE APPROACH IN THE TRAINING OF SOCIAL WORKERS AS A PREREQUISITE FOR IMPLEMENTING THE POLICIES FOR SOCIAL INCLUSION(Plovdiv University Press "Paisii Hilendarski", 2024) Glushkova, NonaThe implementation of social inclusion policies implies the planning and implementation of educational activities for the proper training of social workers, on whom the activities towards the social inclusion of members of vulnerable groups largely depend. In order to be useful for their users and clients, who have a justified need for professional support for successful social inclusion, it is necessary for professionals in the field of social activities to continuously optimize their functional literacy, to maintain high levels of social communication skills and to be prepared in the direction of social mediation – an approach assuming specific skills and competences in the field of interpersonal, intergroup and intercultural communication. This article proposes a possible option for quality professional training of future social workers, which is aimed at acquiring knowledge, skills and competencies for the satisfaction of fundamental universal human aspirations for well-being and sustainable development, the achievement of which passes through the realization of successful professional interactions with users and clients for the prevention of social exclusion, for overcoming its consequences and for full social inclusion in public life.
