With the help of the technology of operational diagnostics of artistic abilities, the potential inclinations of artistic and creative activity in children of preschool and primary school age were identified and the range of identified interests in additional education programs was realized. Two groups of respondents of different ages were examined: 6-7 years old in the amount of 45 persons, 9-11 years old in the amount of 85 persons. In the course of the study, it was concluded that the technology of operative diagnostics of artistic abilities is effective at any of these ages. There is a correlation between the motivational and operational readiness of the individual and the success of artistic and creative activity. We have selected the most effective forms of virtual education for the successful development of children’s artistic abilities.

The contemporary priority in the field of education is to preserve the health of children and young people. Specialists of The Russian Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing of Kurgan region annually monitor the health of children. The most common diseases are scoliosis, visual acuity decrement, and postural disorders. Moreover, the number of children with these disorders increases during the educational period. The authors suggest the creation of a healthy environment and use of health-saving technologies in the educational process is to be one of the conditions for solving this problem. The results of the study of the healthy environment in educational institutions of different types showed that the most effective healthy environment is represented in the sports schools. Children's well-being is more dependent on psychological comfort in their families. The attitude to health as a value depends on the personal example of teachers. But, unfortunately, teachers do not always have a high level of culture of a healthy lifestyle, especially teachers of institutions of additional and secondary education. According to the results, there is a need for systematic, responsible work of all participants of the educational process in order to achieve a sustainable positive result in the formation of the value-based attitude of schoolchildren to their health care.

The article deals with the problem of education of patriotic qualities in children of primary school age. Primary school age is a sensitive period for the development of spiritual and moral qualities of a person. To monitor the level of patriotism development, we studied motivational, intellectual, sensual, volitional criterias.. Based on the results obtained, we have developed a program of work with primary school age children on the patriotic education. To develop attitudes towards patriotic values, we used the means of folklore, which have ample opportunities to familiarize children with their culture origins. The developed program “Russia is our home!” is aimed at instilling in children love and respect for their native land, familiarizing students with the study of the heroic history of the Fatherland, local history, search and research activities, national traditions, culture study and promotion.
