Responsibility is among the most basic concepts that are expected to be taught at early ages and directly affect our personal and social life. Although, it is regarded as a value with its affective dimension; responsibility, a fundamental skill that we should learn formally or informally, starts with the children's introduction to their immediate environment and continues with their school life. In this process, all the tasks that they need to fulfill in compatible with a lot of factors including their ages, the developmental stage and their social environment form and shape their area of responsibility. In these areas of responsibility, children's reactions, behaviors and attitudes should be known. For that reason, the purpose of this study, in which the opinions and thoughts of the parents and class teachers of the 3rd and 4th grade primary school students were taken, is to determine the needs towards responsibility. In this case study, the data collected through semi structured interview from 10 parents and 8 teachers were analyzed through content analysis. The results obtained from the content analysis were discussed in light of the related literature. According to the results, parents and teachers' opinions and thoughts were put into five categories, which are fulfilling their duties, having effective time management, interpersonal relationships and communication, protecting their health and values.

Analogical reasoning is both an innate ability and a basic learning mechanism that can be improved. In classrooms, it is an important tool used by teachers, especially when explaining difficult or abstract issues. In addition to its use in all aspects of our lives, analogical reasoning is commonly used in textbooks. This research examines the extent to which analogies are used in high school science textbooks, the subjects of the examination being high school physics, chemistry, and biology course textbooks used by students between 14 and 17 years of age. A total of 15 textbooks (four biology books, five physics books, and six chemistry books) were reviewed. Ninety-two analogies were identified in these books. These analogies were classified based on a scheme developed by Curtis and Reigeluth. Findings are discussed in the context of previous related studies.

The aim of the research work is to develop a methodology for assessing the information potential of the region and its approbation. The key method used while studying the problem is the method of multidimensional integral assessment of the region's informatization development level which allows to consider the problem from the system approach. Results: methodical approach to the assessment of the region's information potential, including 45 partial indicators of the information potential combined into five subgroups--indicators of the IT application level; indicators of economic activity results, based on the use of information and communication technologies in organizations; indicators of the technical security for informatization processes; indicators of the global information networks data use in the work, of the use of specialized information programs; and labor indicators and the integral indicator of the region's informatization development level. Practical value is determined by the formation of some theoretical and methodical aspects and recommendations for the development of regional information management, based on the improvement of methodical principles and instruments for the assessment of information processes in the region.

The relevance of the study to the problem of determining the place of prosecutors in the system of state bodies carrying out criminal prosecution, is determined, firstly, by the ongoing scientific debates and lack of consensus about the nature of the Prosecutor's office, the place and role of prosecutorial supervision in the structure of the system of state activities, and secondly, reform of the judicial system in Russia determined the structural changes in the public administration system and structure of state bodies carrying out criminal prosecution. The purpose of this article is to develop the functional-legal approach that defines the place of the Prosecutor's office in the system of state bodies carrying out criminal prosecution in Russia. The leading method to study the problem is the deductive method, allowing studying the activities of the Prosecutor's office for criminal prosecution. A leading method underlying the solution to the problem is to study the legal foundations of judicial reform and to transfer its legal mechanisms to functionally-legal development of the prosecution's power. The paper shows that the problem of determining the functions of the Prosecutor is theoretically unsolved. The practical significance of the results obtained lies in the fact that the vesting of certain provisions concerning the organization and activities of the Prosecutor's office, with status of the principle seems far-fetched and artificial.
