Vyrų ir moterų intelekto skirtumai SANTRAUKA Iki šiol nėra aiškios nuomonės, ar egzistuoja intelekto ir atskirų kognityvinių gebėjimų skirtumai tarp lyčių, dar daugiau nesutarimų, dėl ko tie skirtumai atsiranda. Kaip žinome, intelektą lemia daugelis tarpusavyje labai susijusių veiksnių. Vyrų ir moterų kognityvinų gebėjimų skirtumus įtakoja biologiniai lyčių skirtumai, kultūrinė ir šeimos aplinka. Gauti rezultatai labai priklauso nuo tyrimo aplinkybių, pasirinktos imties, tyrimo metodikos ir kt. papildomų veiksnių, galinčių įtakoti rezultatus. Šio tyrimo tikslas buvo – nustatyti 13-66 m. amžiaus vyrų ir moterų intelektinių gebėjimų skirtumus remiantis Lietuvos reprezentacinės imties tyrimo WIT rezultatais. Aprašėme visos imties vyrų ir moterų intelektinius gebėjimus. Taip pat palyginome moksleivių vaikinų ir merginų, studentų vaikinų ir merginų ir dirbančių vyrų ir moterų rezultatus. Moksleivių merginų ir vaikinų rezultatus lyginome pagal šiuos kintamuosius: mamos ir tėvo išsilavinimą, mokyklos tipą, klasę. Studentų rezultatus lyginome pagal studijuojamų mokslų sritį, kalbų mokėjimą (keliomis kalbomis gali susikalbėti), gimimo eiliškumą, finansinę padėtį. Dirbančių vyrų ir moterų rezultatus lyginome pagal išsilavinimą, kalbų mokėjimą, gimimo eiliškumą, finansinė padėtį. Mūsų atliktame tyrime nustatėme, kad moterys pasižymėjo geresniais verbaliniais gebėjimais, kalbos turingumu, geresne atmintimi lyginant ir mokinių, ir studentų ir dirbančiųjų grupes. Lyginant mokinių grupę...

As we know, intelligence depends on many contemporized factors. Differences in cognitive ability among men and women are influenced by biological sex differences, cultural and family environment. Results heavily depend on research circumstances, survey sample, research method and over research influencing additional factors. The aim of this study, based on WIT Lithuanian representative survey, was to determine from 13 to 66 years old men and women differences in intelligences abilities. Whole survey sample, men and women, intelligences abilities were described. Pupils boys and girls, students and laboring men and women results were compared. Pupils boys and girls results were compared by these factors: parents education, school and grade. Students results were compared by the realm of studies, knowledge of languages (how many languages they can speak), birth succession, financial status.

Aim of the work – to propose new methods and algorithms for automated deflection yoke tuning.

The contemporary society has set certain standards or norms defining what a human being should be and how he should behave. Other individuals, especially with some kind of incapacity, often become unacceptable or even unnecessary. Such an attitude towards an incapacitated person must be undisputedly changed. “The role of art in spreading cognitive powers of the intellect is recognized as one of the most important factors in development of the individual” (Matonis, 2000, :18-19). A research has been conducted attempting to assess a potential for self-expression of teenagers with mental disorder and optimization of the socialization process (while them taking part in a social and art project). The research in the social and art project “Katedra” involved 10 young persons with mental disorder and 5 professional artists. Also by means of filling in a questionnaire 123 assessors – spectators representing the viewpoint of the society on the results of the project, i.e. a performance with participation of disabled and healthy artists, were interviewed. The research revealed changes in the attitude of the society towards people with intellectual problems and showed growing possibilities of social optimization for the disabled persons. It was also concluded that participation in art projects helps young disabled people easier integrate into the society and offers them equal chances to play a role in the life of the society. The analysis of the arrangements indicated that the disabled... [to full text]

Šis darbas nagrinėja dvikalbystės vystymosi psichologinius bei pedagoginius aspektus. Tyrimo tikslas - ištirti ir palyginti vienkalbių ir dvikalbių ankstyvosios paauglystės amžiaus (13-14 metų) moksleivių atskirų pažinimo sugebėjim�� išlavėjimo lygį. Tyrimo uždaviniai: naudojant statistinius metodus ištirti ir palyginti vienkalbių ir dvikalbių ankstyvosios paauglystės (13-14 amžiaus) intelekto koeficentą, verbalinius, matematinius, erdvinės vaizduotės bei atminties gebėjimus naudojant R. Amthauerio IST-70 metodika. Tyrime dalyvavo Trakų Vytauto Didžiojo gimnazijos ir Lentvario M. Šimelionio vidurinės mokyklos septintųjų klasių moksleiviai. Gauti rezultatai patvirtino hipotezę, kad vienkalbių ir dvikalbių paauglių atskiri intelekto sugebėjimai skiriasi. Pagrindinės tyrimo išvados yra tokios: vienkalbiai paaugliai pasižymi aukštesniais intelekto įverčiais, vienakalbiams paaugliams būdingi aukštesni verbalinių subtestų įverčių vidurkiai, negu dvikalbiams paaugliams, kalbinės abstrakcijos sugebėjimai nesiskiria. Rezultatai atskleidė, kad vienakalbėms mergaitėms būdingi aukštesni intelekto, verbalinių subtestų įverčių vidurkiai, o matematinių, erdvinės vaizduotės ir sugebėjimo įsiminti įverčių vidurkiai nesiskiria. Vaikinų tarpe vienakalbių ir dvikalbių paauglių intelekto įverčių vidurkiai nesiskiria nei pagal bendrąjį rodiklį, nei pagal atskirus subtestus.

Creative thinking is an important ability formed by some factors: flexibility, originality, fluency, elaboration. Through chess, pupils learn to invent creative solutions to problems. Chess can strengthen problem-solving skills, foster critical, creative, and original thinking, demonstrate the importance of flexible planning, concentration, and the consequences of decisions. The aim of the investigation was to analyze young chess player’s creative thinking in different age, their achievement. Torrance test of creative thinking (TTCT, 1974) was used as the main evaluation tool. The scoring was as follows:  Fluency by the number of interpretable, meaningful, and relevant responses to the stimulus,  Flexibility by the variety of categories of relevant responses,  Originality by responses which are unexpected, unusual, unique or statistically rare,  Elaboration by the addition of pertinent details. Fifty six children of chess school in Vilnius were investigated using this method. The main result showed that young chess player‘s creative thinking (Torrance test (TTCT, 1974)) is not significantly higher than 2 years ago. Correlation have been found between the TTCT and Raven in the construct of elaboration (r = 0,307; p = 0,025).
