title: Clinical and psychological characteristics of school adaptation.
abstract: 70 girls and 50 boys--totally 120 practically healthy children were examined; Three age-specific groups with equal number of children were chosen. Goal of the research was to evaluate the adaptation ability and analyse the disadaptive derangements in primary school age children. Cross-sectional, one moment research was carried out according to D. Stot's "Map of Observation". Adaptive potential determination and evaluation of vegetative nervous system functional state was done. Special charts for children were filled in. 56% of pupils were practically healthy and well adapted to school obligations. In the rest of cases different degree and form of school dysadaptation derangements were revealed. The dysadaptation contingent with cognitive function was seen in 14% of children. Emotional attitude derangements to learning process was revealed in 18% of children.; and hard to cope with the derangements correction in behavior was seen in 12% of children. The study results enabled us to reveal different types of school dysadaptation in primary school age children as well as to study the main reasons for their formation on the basis of age-specific characteristics. The above-mentioned fact should be taken into consideration while elaborating complex rehabilitation actions and school disadaptation prevention.
