This article attempts to substantiate the concept of contextual curriculum based on “context” as a meaning-forming category, “competencies” as learning outcomes (as a teleological category containing learning as the substance of know¬ledge domains), “innovations” (as a driving mechanism), active and problematic teaching methods (as a procedural ca¬te¬gory). The emphasis is done on substantiating the main idea of contextual curriculum, developing a paradigm for con¬textual curriculum, as well as methods for constructing and applying it.

Computer-based assessment has faced a number of global challenges caused by the dynamic change of learning pa¬ra¬digm and diversification of learning environments. One of the recent challenges refers to prioritization of a formative assessment in the situation of the rapid transition to remote learning as a result of COVID-19 outbreak. In order to achieve the educational methodology of the formative assessment, a didactic project was developed and it provides the division into N modules of the content of the university course and the collaborative elaboration of a digital textbook context. The result in¬dicates the validity of the didactic project. Students were motivated enough to learn and to develop the self-regulated skills.

This article is dedicated to training the communication skills of teachers who work with students at risk of dropping out of school. In our research we have developed a new model, which we call the “Playful Model”, which provides a practical way to increase the motivation of students at risk, as well as teachers, by implementing a series of five steps, which are = mutually reinforcing and together create a circle of motivation for learning. Thus, the ability to inspire and awaken motivation consists in the ability to see, create and strengthen the connections that exist between different steps and different actions, respectively.

Through art, aesthetic education forms and develops a mental (psychic) quality of the individual, especially the general responsiveness, which consists in the ability to be sensitive to what happens in their particular world where they live and work, to preserve and convey creatively many aspects of their reality. Both taste and aesthetic judgment are determined simultaneously by individual factors, such as (bio-psychic structure, preferences, aspirations, options) and social factors (influence of individual socio-cultural environment, education received in school and family). It is very important to configure the attitudinal system, the end point of a complex process characterized by a sequential process encompassing the following steps: development of aesthetic sensitivity; development of aesthetic taste; development of aesthetic judgment with strong cognitive elements; along with emotional ones; the development of aesthetic attitudes that become coordinated by personality, directing the individual towards the world of values and beauty. The conceptual exploitation of the extracurricular artistic environment will foster the concern of its own field, i.e. it will ensure productive continuity, by pursuing a teleological evolution and succession of self-declaration processes in correlation with the existing artistic environment.

The article addresses theoretically the problem of reading motivation in primary school pupils. It focuses on several definitions of the motivation of learning belonging to prominent personalities (P.Cornea, M.Golu, D.Vrabie), but also on how the motivation for reading can be developed in the pupils of primary classes. Awakening the motivation of pupils for reading is one of the final objectives of the activity carried out by the teacher with the pupils of primary classes. This is the starting point and also the key to success in the school activity for the teacher and their students, who are encouraged to read for the development of language, communication skills, behaviour, and general culture.

The research of the psychological aspects of the beneficiaries of aesthetic medicine is a matter of current interest in the context of the considerable increase in the number of people using the services of the given industry, even if the movements oriented towards authenticity, self-acceptance and dethronement of general standards are progressing and developing. The choice of aesthetic medicine is the result of strict and internalised requirements and rules, resulting from the presence of dysfunc¬tional basic beliefs about own incompetence, worthlessness and nothingness, which lead to the consolidation of dysfunc¬tional attitudes about how the person should be and behave in order to feel better, and to confirm the existing cognitive schema.

It is recognized that depression and anxiety are the most common psychiatric comorbidities in epilepsy. In this article we aimed to assess the presence of depression and anxiety symptoms in people with epilepsy. We assessed 109 adults with epilepsy. The study took place at the National Centre of Epileptology in 2019. Individuals were assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory (21 items) and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A). Our study demonstrated that about half of people with epilepsy suffer from depression and anxiety. The rate of depression and anxiety is higher in women than in men. Nevertheless, the presence of anxiety and depression symptoms in the unemployed persons is double compared to the employed people with epilepsy.

This scientific work is dedicated to the great problems of children’s fear and state of anxiety. I studied and investigated the present fear and the children’s display of the state of anxiety and I examined the influence of factors to the state of their anxiety. To my mind investigating this work is a very important problem because the state of anxiety and fear are very negative not only for children’s learning knowledge but to their whole state of health. So the general conclusion to the research results may produce a great interest not only for parents but for psychologist, teachers, doctors, psychiatrist and neuropathologists, because these are necessary arguments and prophylaxes for the children’s state of anxiety and also for the formation of the harmony’s personal development to their social, harmonically development and choice of their life. To my opinion it is very important to continue the beginning which is very persistent with great emphasize to the prophylactic activity.

This article discusses the psychological factors that affect the sexual health of old people. An attempt has been made to shed light on the fact that many old people remain sexually active for a long time. The sexual activity of old people is expressed not only in sexual relations associated with penetrative sex, but also in other forms of intimacy, which indicates the need for theoretical and practical study of this topic by psychologists, gerontologists and representatives of other related sciences.
