In the last years the potential of information and communication technologies constantly increases. They enter in all fields of human activity, including in the field of education. The teachers are often forced in their pedagogic practice to prepare didactic materials which they will use in the training alone. The examined literature shows that the existing diversity and complexity of the problem requires purposeful research through which to be revealed and analyzed some main problems related to the usage of modern audio and visual aids. The exiting works in Bulgaria do not examine particularly problems like:– preparation of didactic materials by means of new technologies;– formulation of requirements (rules) for creation and usage of modern didactic materials. In the modern Bulgarian school the most used didactic materials are: printed materials, audio records, video records, multimedia presentations and electronic textbooks.

A sociological survey was conducted at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridsky”, in which a specially developed questionnaire was aimed at revealing the intracommunity and multicultural tolerance among the students. Subject of the survey was the way the students assessed the extent of their tolerance to other peoples’ opinion, ethnical, religious identity and racial background, as well as the attitude of the students to the minority religious communities, existing in Bulgaria and to the migrants. The results of the survey show that a tolerant attitude is formed and prevails among the students with respect to different: opinion, ethnic groups, races and cultures. The respondents showed respect to the cultural traditions of the ethnic minorities and support for their preservation. However, the survey shows a lower tolerance of the students to the Roma minority and the Muslim communities, including the Muslim migrants.

The focus of the present paper is the EU Directive for accelerated integration of Europe-related topics in the educational process with the aim of building a unified European identity as a prerequisite for the success of Intra-European integration. The counterarguments about this initiative are presented by pointing out ways of its modification in the context of the ‘Doing European’ concept, alternative to European identity. The paper introduces modern literary works in German whose topic is the critical and ironic view of the European identity and the European values system, and which raise the issue of their reconsideration in contemporary European context – the Austrian writer Ulrike Längle’s short story ‘Freude schöner Götterfunken’: a banal reading of Schiller’s aesthetics based on the idea of personal freedom and the inviolability of human dignity, and the German author Ulrike Draesner’s ‘Europa’ depicting the European continent as a jig-saw puzzle whose pieces can be randomly moved and rearranged

This article highlights the early years of the individual’s life as a key period of substantial changes in which the integration of the child with the surrounding reality takes place. The complex path of child development and growth is manifested as a dialectical and objective organization when the individual begins to understand both his / her individuality and membership in the social community when he / she can think, feel and act more to human, not at a personal (ego-protective) level. It is precisely because of this tendency that the discovery and acceptance of the society outlines one of the main problems in the processes of child development.

This theoretical review presents classic and modern attempts to define and interpret self-regulated learning by identifying its more important essential and differential characteristics. All this is done in the light of the shifting focus of scientific analysis from individual learning abilities and the impact of the environment as “fixed” wholes, to manifestations of initiative, perseverance, active commitment and self-regulation designed to enhance personal well-being, academic performance and improve the organization of learning and self-preparation. Specifically, individual psychological aspects are presented in three of the most popular models of self-regulated learning, developed respectively by В. Zimmerman, M. Boekaerts, P. Pintrich.

The study of the „information environment – person“relationship is becoming an increasingly important focus in the research repertoire. The informatization of the social environment is not an isolated phenomenon – it is interpreted as one of the functional characteristics of modern society. Although the „child-to-media environment“ relationship has been the subject of numerous studies, it is still attracting scientific interest. This interest is focused mainly on the specifics of the development of the modern child. Defining the multimedia environment as mediating individual socialization focuses on the multimodal functioning of new technologies. Taking into account this fact requires a new type of organization of the educational environment, aimed at the early development of multiliteracy for orientation in the processes of information and communication in the changing world.

Reading and writing are the initial stages of school education, without mastering which it is especially difficult, even impossible, to freely follow any educational system. The topic of learning difficulties has only begun to concern specialists in the last twenty years. Thus, going back to the past, we find that the problem of learning difficulties, although existing, did not concern specialists before the end of our century. The establishment and legalization of compulsory education has revealed a series of problems, including difficulties in education, ie. Problems in learning, transmission and behavior that lead to adverse consequences both in school, in the family environment and mainly in the psycho-emotional development and balanced integration of the child in society.

The term „special educational abilities“ refers to children whose educational needs arise from disabilities, dysfunctions or learning difficulties. In addition to the classical methods of training and education, they also need specially oriented methods for educational impact and training, corresponding to the needs for the formation, recovery and improvement of impaired functions.Children with special educational needs need daily relationships and contacts with normal children. In this way, children with learning difficulties are provided with an environment to achieve the main goal - the formation of their socially adaptive behavior. At the heart of this approach is integration. The integration process must be bilateral. On the one hand, to include work on the socialization of children with disabilities in their usual environment, and on the other - to change the attitude of the environment, respectively the attitudes of people towards them. School integration implies enriching the environment for children with SEN, applying a system of measures to provide them with the necessary educational services in the general education system, to meet their needs, desires, interests and aspirations in such a way as to achieve the greatest possible their effective education and development.

The theoretical formulations, analyzed in the study, and the proposed applied model for game technology in the implementation of the educational process in kindergarten, are presupposed by the concept of lifelong learning as a platform of modern educational environment and as a factor promoting the professional development of children’s teachers. Classical theories on the specifics of the psychosocial development of the child’s personality in preschool age are analytically discussed in view of the process of individual growth, and of the influence of emotional and behavioural manifestations in 3–7-year-old children. Special emphasis is placed on the topic of the game mechanism as a form and means of educational policy in building key competencies in preschool children. The causal relationships between the child’s natural needs for self realization, self-expression, and self-determination, as well as the game and cognitive educational space in the kindergarten stand out, caused by the ten psychological components characteristic of the game mechanism.
