Abstract: The study of moral development, as well as that of affective and intellectual life, highlights the need to establish which relations exist between the child's practical action and his reflection on it. However, analyzing these relationships requires considering the process that can make them intelligible, which is awareness. In this paper, we analyzed these relationships from some basic questions: How does the child think the moral rules while performing their acts and after they are closed? How do children judge their own acts and those of others? Is there correspondence between moral judgments and moral practice in the child? Is there a difference in the quality of thought and judgment between a child who is trained according to a heteronomous moral and another who is formed according to an autonomous moral? How does this occur and what are the difficulties in becoming aware of feelings of mutual affection, since this is the central core of the moral of autonomy and the moral of the good? In this study, these issues were analyzed, and appropriate solutions were pointed out according to Jean Piaget's psychogenetic theory, when an autonomous moral education is intended. It also showed the implications of pedagogical practices that make the child's awareness unfeasible.

Abstract: The article focuses on the significance of the methodological knowledge as a foundation of any scientific research, in which the function of the research tools is performed by methodological approaches. The concept and the logic of the pedagogical research were based on the requirements of the general methodology and the specific one, the philosophical principle of the universal relationship and a complex of theoretical methods, viz.: the method of the study of scientific literature, the method of citation, the method of analysis, the method of generalization, and the method of historically conditioned philosophical analysis. In the process of studying the scientific literature, analysing the methodological positions of the leading scientists, citing their papers, it was found that the role of the interdisciplinary approach to the study of complex systems becomes more important at the present stage of the development of science; the essence of the interdisciplinary research in the field of education was revealed and the relevance of that research was substantiated as an indicator of the above field's qualitatively new level of development; it was proved that education needs a change in the specifics of the pedagogical research towards a fuller application of the interdisciplinary methodology. The application of the historically conditioned philosophical analysis has made it possible to find out the historic roots of the phenomenon of the emotional intelligence and to analyse its essential substance in the ontological and epistemological aspects. As an object of the psychological analysis, the emotional intelligence is represented as a complex psychic entity, whose scientific status is defined as a new type of cognitive capabilities based on the unity of the cognitive-affective processes of the human psyche. In the context of the social aspect, it has been established that the emotional intelligence belongs to the general structure of the social intelligence, whose characteristic feature is the efficiency of the interpersonal communication. The pedagogical aspect of the study of the emotional intelligence is outlined by various contexts. It has been concluded that the formation of the emotional intelligence of a future teacher of musical art as a professionally significant quality should be investigated in an interdisciplinary aspect for the purpose of obtaining a complete and comprehensive characterization of that phenomenon.

Abstract: The phenomenon of "swimming and sinking" is a very demanding basic concept not only for children but also for teachers. Nevertheless, it is often taught in science lessons at primary schools. The following article analyzes a teaching sequence on the subject of "swimming and sinking" in 2nd grade, available as video recording, as well as accompanying material and transcripts. The analysis of the implementation practice serves to examine the realities that result in practical consequence. A sequence from the lesson is analyzed using objective hermeneutics. The method of objective hermeneutics is a reconstructive method in contrast to a subsuming approach. It aims to decipher the typical, i.e. characteristic, structures of phenomena to be investigated and to "bring to light the objective laws operating behind the phenomena". In the case analysis there was maximum transparency: each sequence passage is available as a transcript and as an interpretation, each reader can try to replace the existing interpretation by an even more plausible interpretation using arguments and thereby increasing their knowledge. The case study concludes that the standardized form of knowledge transfer and the schematic view of science overtax children and teachers. The present study provides indications that it must be doubted whether standardized schematic teaching of scientific theory is capable of supporting the development of a researcher's habitus. It provides clues that it should at least be examined whether science education can instead be seen as applied science logic or science pedagogy for children and as science education with the aim of promoting the development of a researcher habitus in children.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the current status of supervision and instruction quality of public interest kindergartens in urban and rural areas of Chongqing. The study was carried out on 325 teachers, 85 directors and 51 other teaching staff from public interest kindergartens. Data collected from the respondents were coded and entered into the computer for analysis using SPSS version-20 for windows. The results show that the education quality supervision of public interest kindergartens is generally at a satisfactory level. There is no significant difference between urban and rural public interest kindergartens in the education quality supervision, and the public interest kindergartens in urban and rural areas show a trend of equal development in terms of structural quality. However, there are significant differences in the supervision quality standards and the professionalism of supervision personnel between urban and rural public interest kindergartens, those of which in urban areas are better than those in rural areas. Findings highlight that it should formulate a developmental preschool education quality evaluation system, perfect the quality supervision mechanism, implement special training for supervision personnel, strengthen the quality supervision of public interest kindergartens in townships and improve the quality support mechanism in order to realize the balanced and high-quality development of public interest kindergartens both in urban and rural areas.
