The concept of numeric expression is a basic one in teaching mathematics. It is introduced and assimilated in primary school. This concept is a component of many other concepts and problems in school course of mathematics. That is why discussing and analyzing the process of understanding and assimilating the notion of numeric expression is of great importance both to the teachers and pupils. The present study focuses on some key activities and groups of problems aiming at mastering pupils’ abilities to solve various mathematical problems, to overcome some difficulties and prevent from making mistakes in finding the ways of solving different problems and doing so to enrich their knowledge in mathematics.

Reading involves various processes that range from visual identification of writing to understanding the content and context. The main objective of this study is to fathom out the initial process of learning to read (decoding and comprehension) for students from first and second grade. The following tests were used: rapid serial naming (objects and letters), phonological awareness (manipulation and rhyme), picture vocabulary, decoding of words and reading comprehension.This study found statistically significant differences in all components observed in both age groups – students from first and second grade. Decoding of words has strongest correlation with the rapid naming of letters, phonological awareness and rapid naming of objects. Reading comprehension has strongest correlation with vocabulary size, phonological awareness and decoding of words. There was a statistically significant difference between the sexes in terms of phonological awareness, vocabulary size and reading comprehension.Predictors for the decoding of words for Bulgarian students from first and second grade are: the speed at which they read, rapid naming of letters and their level of phonological awareness. Predictors of the reading comprehension are: vocabulary, ability of segmentation and rapid naming of letters.

Kickboxing is one of the most attractive and dynamic modern sports. It combines the most effective techniques with legs and hands from karate and classic boxing. This symbiosis between the two sports makes it an exciting spectacle attracting numerous admirers. Kickboxing is not a demonstration game designed solely for audiences and entertainment. It is a sport discipline and, as such, is subject to the general methodological foundations and norms of sports training. The application of the general principles and laws in the kickbox training process is hampered by the lack of a scientifically based, in-depth research on this sport (Lefterov 2006: 27, Kaikov, Yonov 2001, Zlatev 2010: 122, Pavlova, Petkova 2017: 79). This is a sport with a complex motoring activity that manifests itself in constantly changing and extreme conditions of training and competition. Kickboxing practitioners are subjected to great physical and mental stresses.They have to master and apply a great arsenal of complex dynamic stereotypes in the ring, in the context of an acute conflict with an opponent who actively counters them. The time deficiency in which an exchange takes place shows that, in addition to physical qualities, the kickboxer must also possess a specific sport intelligence to realize in the conditions of the training and the race. The technical arsenal that every kickboxer has to master is diverse and coordinated. It can be divided into two parts: technique of attack and defense technique (Lefterov 2006: 27, Kaikov,,Yonov 2001, Zlatev 2010: 122, Pavlova, Petkova 2017: 79).

The article studies various conditions of combining heuristic activity, taking place in the process of learning, with activation of reflection processes, as well as any possible consequences of such combination. Author’s positive research experience in this area has been shared, related to the realization of reflexive-synergetic approach principles in mathematics education. Concise presentation is made of the results of a pedagogical experiment proving the thesis that the organisation and management of student educational-cognitive heuristic activity by using an educational technology which has been specifically created for this purpose, developed in compliance with the fundamental principles of the reflexive-synergetic approach, increases the level of student individual intellectual reflection abilities.

The paper will present results of a national survey research related to the continuing training of pedagogical staff in Bulgaria, conducted in 2015 by a team of professors from the Faculty of Education of the oldest university in Bulgaria – “St. Kliment Ohridski” University of Sofia. The results represent the teachers‘ opinions about the current state of the system, but also their vision of it. The outlined weaknesses can show the ways for its improvement, and the positive sides to being the basis for upgrading and development.

The method blended learning is relatively new but interest in it is fast growing. This is mainly due to the fact that it combines in one traditional and innovative practices. In this article we analyze the pedagogical literature in this sphere for the last three years for the sake of finding an answer of the main question: Which are the most important factors for the successful use of blended learning courses? We think that the success of blended learning depends on the learning organization, the quality of the virtual environment and the extent of readiness of students and teachers to work in the virtual environment.

The article analyses the problem of multilingualism and its impact on the practices of learning and teaching at school. An attempt was made to theorize multilingualism as a didactic phenomenon. The categories “chronotop”, “heteroglossia” and “social competence” are defined as key. Based on these categories, specific research is needed in the multicultural classroom in Bulgarian reality, with the aim of creating a new type of mastering methodology, both in native language and in several foreign languages.
