Abstract:

Ensuring the emotional well-being of children is an urgent task in working with children of any age, and especially with children of primary school age. Primary school children are faced with the need to adapt to a new life associated with a change in the daily routine, long stay at school, completion of educational tasks, new requirements for them as students, and other factors. The educational program plays an important role in the adaptation of primary school children; therefore, the evaluation of the effectiveness of this program is an urgent task.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the program of education of primary school children based on monitoring their emotional well-being and statistical analysis of factors (class and gender) associated with the assessment of emotional well-being.

Measuring the emotional well-being of primary school children is carried out within the framework of the theory of latent variables. The dialog system "RUMM2020" was used to process the survey results. The obtained assessments of the emotional well-being of primary school children were structured according to three factors: the year of the surveys (2019 and 2020), grade (3A, 3B), and gender. Since the studied factors are qualitative, a three-factor analysis of variance was used to assess the influence of all three factors.

Within the framework of the theory of latent variables, the emotional well-being of primary school children is measured on a linear scale. The construct validity of the questionnaire used is shown; the Cronbach's alpha coefficient is 0,822. This means that primary school children are well differentiated by their emotional well-being. The conducted three-factor analysis of variance showed that, on average, the assessment of the emotional well-being of primary school children in 2020 is statistically significantly higher than in 2019 for all grades. The emotional well-being of primary school children does not depend on their grade and gender. Thus, the monitoring results showed the educational work performance.

Conclusion. Within the framework of the theory of latent variables, the emotional well-being of primary school children is measured on a linear scale. As a result of the monitoring, the effectiveness of the educational work performance is shown - the emotional well-being in 2020 is statistically significantly higher than in 2019..
