TRAINING OF MATHEMATICAL SKILLS AT PRESCHOOL AGE THROUGH ACTIVE – PARTICIPATIVE METHODS
Through the present paper I have tried to find outthe influence of the use of active-participative methods,especially the didactic game in mathematics activities on thedevelopment of pre-school children. Didactic game is ofparticular importance among the learning methods used inkindergarten, because it is the predominant activity of preschoolchildren. Play is the activity they prefer inkindergarten, as it responds to their age peculiarities and itensures the transition from the play- based activities in kindergarten to learning-based activities in schools

SOCIOCULTURAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL DIMENSIONS OF MENTAL HEALTH CARE NETWORKS FOR OLDER ADULTS TOWARDS NEW FORMATIONS
In this paper, we attempt to analyzethedevelopments of welfare state in European countries inrelation to social networks of professionalsaimed at caring foreld erly people with mental health problems.We start with atypology of the welfare state in Europe which has dominatedthe current debate. We focus on (a) welfare reformation andthe values that characterize these reorganization (emphasis onautonomy, problem atization of dependency, desire to improveindependent living, etc.), (b) certain social processes thatdetermine this change, (c) forms of organization of the socioeconomic domain sanitary current (multiplication of localnetworks and projects, decentra lization of services, criticismof bureaucracy, improvement of the flexibility of careservices, etc.). Then we will analyze the organizational,ideological and therapeutic issues of networking. Finally, wewill highlight the problems that arise, as a cons equence ofthese issues.The paper is based on data that has been drawn on the contextof a European program Erasmus+ entitled ARPA ageing
PROFESSIONAL VALUES OF YOUNG PEOPLE
Social values are acquired in the socializationprocess and become, over the course of life, elements thatinfluence decisions that we make and behaviors in certainsituations. Similarly, professional value makes us appreciatejobs or evaluate some of the tasks we have. With theInventory of Professional Values Scale, D. Super, weinvestigated the set of professional values that young people(graduates or students) have. Data analysis concludes thatvariables such as gender, high school profile, the environment(rural or urban), or student or graduate status do not inducechanges in the perception of values like intellectualstimulation, achievement, and independence
EFFECTIVENESS OF PSYCHO-ONCOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS IN INCREASING THE SELF-EFFICACY OF PATIENTS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND META-ANALYSIS
The purpose of this meta-analysis is to evaluate theeffectiveness of interventions aimed at improving the selfefficacyof cancer patients. Peer-reviewed articles included inthe analysis were published between 2000 and 2018, and wereselected from online databases. The keywords used for thesearch were self-efficacy, cancer, neoplasm, tumour,malignant, treatment, intervention, therapy. We selected thestudies that meet the following conditions: (a) they had anexperimental design; (b) the participants were patientsdiagnosed with cancer; (c) they aimed the testing ofinterventions focused on increasing patients’ adaptation todisease; (d) they have been published in English and subjectedto a peer-review process. Interventions to improve the selfefficacyof cancer patients have a statistically significanteffect (g = .43, Z = 3.304, p = .001). The result shows theeffectiveness of the interventions, but the heterogeneity of thedata calls for caution in their consideration
COMPLEX APPROACH OVER OUTDOOR LEARNING IN THE MAIN FORMS OF EDUCATION: FORMAL, NONFORMAL AND INF ORMAL
In the modern educational systems, there havebeen debates over the place of outdoor learning, as aninteractive teaching learning strategy in the three mainforms of education. Formal education has adopted it as amodern interactive method, while in the non formaleducational areas, it is used more frequently because ofits basic ways of implementation. In the area of informaleducation, it can als o be found under its different forms,from which the most known one is gaming. The presentarticle, is a brief study that comes in help of teachers thatare interested in using outdoor learning activities in theformal educational environment
STRATEGIC OUTNESS AND SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORK FAMILIARITY IN REGARDS OF CYBERBULLYING
Once upon a time, social media notifications’pressure indulged addi ng all friends request, even if thepersons knew each other in real life or not. Nowadays,youth online behaviour tends to be more critical andselective with social media profiles and online identities.Coming out of the closet, or shortly coming out,rep resents a metaphor for LGBT people's self disclosureof their sexual orientation or of their gender identity.Labelled as a privacy issue, coming out of the closet ismostly described as a psychological process or journey, adecision making or risk taking action, a speech act, anemancipation from oppression, feeling of gay prideinstead of shame and social stigma. It has been debatedwhether the selective disclosure or strategic outness on social media is a good strategy to overcome possibleprospective cy berbullying attacks. The project Keepingyouth safe from Cyberbullying was developed by ourresearch team, aiming to deeper understand the dynamicsof different cyberbullying aspects in online environmentsamong youth, by creating an online questionnairec omposed by single item research questions related tocore concepts and perceptions. This paper is focused is inanalysing the effect of social media network familiarityon LGBT online self disclosure or strategic outness inregards of cyberbullying inciden ts, in 507 high schoolstudents from Romania, Belgium, Turkey and Spain.Results show that when modelling effects of social medianetwork familiarity on strategic outness, the curvilinearmodel (7%) is more consistent that the linear model(6%), when both models show statistical significance.Psychological conclusions and implications arediscussed
POLYCATENAR COMPOUNDS AS ADSORBENTS FOR CONGO RED DYE
The adsorption capacities for two polycatenar compounds, a benzoic acid and its silver salt weredetermined. Both compounds showed relatively good adsorption in the removal of Congo Red dye from aqueoussolutions. The adsorption capacity of the silver salt was found to be slightly lower than its acid precursor
CHARACTERIZATION OF ALKALINE AND ENZIMATICALLY TREATED HEMP FIBRES BY FT-IR ATR SPECTROSCOPY
The FT-IR ATR spectra of the alkaline and enzymatically treated hemp fibres (1%, 2%, 3% o.w.f. enzyme,15, 35, 55 minute enzyme action time) were recorded aiming to evaluate the pectin elimination. The relative absorbancevalues of the 1732 cm-1 band which might be attributed to the presence of the carboxylic groups (C=O) in pectin wereevaluated. The results showed a diminishing of the pectin amount with increasing concentration (% o.w.f.) and actiontime (minutes) of the enzyme mixture. So that, the absorbance recorded at 1732 cm-1 with FT-IR ATR spectroscopy canquantify removed pectin from the material, thus enabling characterization of proposed biotechnology and monitoring theprocess
E -LEARNING TOOLS FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING
The impact of IT in real life is translated/moved also in educationby “e-learning†that means the use of multimedia technologies and Internet orusing the virtual learning environment. The tools for e-learning are verydivers and must be known of the educators for using them in a proper way ina teaching and learning process, student-centred, for having at the end a realtransformative learning process
