The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of playing chess on cognitive skills in schools under the chess association of Ampara district. A quantitative research approach was followed to analyze that respective objective under the chess association of Ampara district and identify the strategies chess players and coaches can take to improvise the impact of playing chess among the school students. Thirty students as an experimental group and thirty students as an control group from schools participated in this study. The experimental group underwent a ninety minutes of chess practice three-day per week over three months and the control group student’s regularly attended school activities after class. The experimental group’s performance on the test was not different from the control group’s performance. However, as per the statistical analysis control group, students achieved 50.13 on average while the experimental group students achieved 51.47 on average in the pre-test exam. In the post-test exam control group, students achieved 51.20 on average while in the experimental group students achieved 64.27 as on average. Based on the result there is a significant improvement in the cognitive skills of the experimental group after the chess training (p=0.000) and there is no significant improvement in the cognitive skills in the control group (p=0.174). Which shows the improvement in the cognitive skills of the students who are playing chess compared to the non-playing chess students. Moreover, all chess-related pupils should concentrate on the publicity of chess among the school students and give their full support to the best outcome for chess-playing students for their development of cognitive skills. Hence, the investigator successfully identified the impact of playing chess on the development of cognitive skills in schools under the chess association of Ampara district.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0567/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
STATE OF THE ART OF PSYCHOMOTOR EDUCATION AT THE PRESCHOOL LEVEL IN THE COMMUNE OF PORTO-NOVO IN BENIN
Authors: Sawab Yakoubou M. , Pierrot Edoh Koffi , Folly Messan , Albérick Tito , Mansourou Lawani M. 
Published: November 2022

<p><strong>Context</strong>: In general, well-conducted psychomotor activities promote harmonious development and have a positive impact on children's health. These activities also condition the acquisition and improvement of the child's global motor skills. In the Commune of Porto-Novo, incomplete motor skills are observed among primary school children in both the public and private sectors. This is why the present study aims to investigate the causes of this observation in kindergarten in order to propose approaches to remedy it. <strong>Materials and Method</strong>: Twenty-seven (27) teachers from both public kindergartens with at least 100 pupils (15) and private kindergartens with at least 70 pupils (12) were randomly selected. They were grouped according to spontaneous, hidden and evoked interventions. Spontaneous and hidden interventions represent practices that are not conducive to children's psychomotor development, whereas evoked intervention was found to be the best option for promoting children's psychomotor development. Data were collected through individual semi-directive interviews and open observation in the classrooms. These data were analyzed and the percentages were compared. <strong>Results</strong>: Only 8 teachers (29.63%) practiced an evoked intervention. However, 19 teachers (70.37%) practiced either spontaneous (11) or covert (8) intervention. The comparison of these observed percentages shows a significant difference (p&lt;0.05) at the 5% risk. <strong>Conclusion</strong>: The incomplete achievements observed at the primary level are due to the lack of space, and teaching materials and especially to the lack of knowledge of the concept of psychomotricity and its implications. Initial training that deviates from these requirements does not seem to be conducive to the harmonious psychomotor development of kindergarten children.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0906/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
PACK RUNNING AMONG FEMALE NCAA COLLEGIATE CROSS COUNTRY TEAMS
Authors: Falk Josh , Larson Abigail , DeBeliso Mark 
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study was to identify if there was a relationship between running with a teammate(s), often referred to as packing, during a cross-country race and lower aggregate team times of the top five scoring runners. This study examined packing strategies of Division 1 NCAA female cross-country runners. Packing was defined as any team member running within a second of a teammate at a given checkpoint during the race. All competitors across three women’s races wore chip-timing bibs that recorded each competitor’s time at checkpoints throughout the race. Only teams having five or more runners were included in the analysis. A “packing score %” was calculated for each team by dividing the number of times a runner was within a second of a teammate at a checkpoint in a given interval by the total number of packing opportunities within the interval (PS%). The total scoring team time was then calculated from the finishing time of each team’s top five runners (Team Aggregate Time-TAT). The correlation coefficient between PS% and TAT was r = -0.47 (p &lt; 0.001). While more research is needed to identify how and when packing should be optimally used, empirical findings indicate packing is beneficially associated with team running times.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0578/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Menge Robert , Kayonga Catherine Suubi 
Published: November 2022

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic created disruptions in all people's daily lives. This deadly pandemic tremendously affected the social, economic, and physical systems. International students were a vulnerable population whose adjustment and adaptation processes in Sweden were interrupted. Therefore, we carried out to ascertain the international students' coping strategies during COVID-19. The study thus explores the coping strategies that international students utilise to deal with changes experienced during COVID-19 in Sweden. Theoretically, the study was based on resilience, the social ecology of resilience, and the strength-based perspective of social work. These theories assume that international students have innate skills and capabilities and resources from their external environments that they utilise to bounce back from stressors related to COVID-19. A cross-sectional exploratory research design was utilised for the study, and purposive, convenient and snowball-sampling techniques were used to choose study participants. Data was collected using qualitative in-depth interviews and was analysed using thematic analysis. The finding revealed that international students relied on environmental protective factors such as family, peers, religion, sports, and authentic information. They also used innate individual traits such as innovation, talents, concentration skills in academics, and the ability to multi-task to overcome their distress. In conclusion, even though COVID-19 worsened the pre-existing challenges to the well-being of international students in Sweden, they overcame some of their problems and blossomed even in difficult times.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0968/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Authors: Phuc Nguyen Thi 
Published: November 2022

The cooperation as well as the great help of the Soviet Union made an important contribution to the victory of the Vietnamese revolution in the history of the struggle for national liberation as well as in the construction of socialism. Promoting Vietnam's relations with socialist countries, especially the Soviet Union in the 1975-1991 period, has become an important policy in the foreign policy of the Communist Party of Vietnam. The experience of the communist party of Vietnam in leading Vietnam’s relationship with the Soviet Union in the 1975 – 1991 period is a “guideline” to orient foreign policy in the period of renovation and integration, which needs to be applied and promoted more effectively in the current period.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0517/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
