This study examines the prevalence of various forms of peer bullying among elementary school children, with a particular focus on the rising issue of cyberbullying. Utilizing a specially constructed Likert scale, the research gathered data from a sample of 98 children, composed of 51 boys and 47 girls, across grades five to eight. The findings reveal that verbal abuse, such as name-calling, mocking, and insulting, is the most common form of bullying experienced by children. Physical bullying behaviors like hitting, pushing, and kicking are also prevalent. Furthermore, the study highlights the significant presence of cyberbullying, characterized by malicious online messaging and social media interactions, which often result in emotional distress and withdrawal from social activities. The reliability and internal consistency of the measurement scale were confirmed by a Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of 0.775. The results underscore the importance of addressing both traditional and cyber forms of bullying to ensure a safer school environment. The study advocates for comprehensive educational programs that promote digital literacy and empathy among children to mitigate the negative impacts of bullying. Additionally, the research suggests implementing effective intervention strategies that include prompt responses to reported bullying incidents and providing support to victims. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on bullying by offering insights into the dynamics of peer and cyberbullying, emphasizing the need for continuous monitoring and preventive measures within educational settings.

The subject matter of the research was to determine whether Serbian teachers encouraged the development of social competences in their students adequately and sufficiently as regards social outcomes. The hypotheses postulated were the following: ethics, empathy and loyalty are expected to be desirable character traits of importance in the development of students' social competences; teachers are expected to develop prosocial behaviour and communication skills among their students; teachers are expected to initiate and stimulate team work with the purpose of developing prosocial behaviour among their students; teachers are expected to initiate discussions and debates with the purpose of developing their students' communication skills; teachers are expected to be exemplary models in developing altruism and empathy among their students. The sample was comprised of 555 primary and secondary school teachers in Serbia. The results showed that: Ethics, empathy and loyalty are seen to be desirable character traits of importance in the development of students' social competences. Moreover, the findings proved that teachers were expected to develop prosocial behaviour and communication skills among their students, as well as to initiate and stimulate team work with the purpose of developing prosocial behaviour among their students.

An introduction is presented in which the editor discusses articles in the issue on topics including such as cognitive research in education, pedagogics, and psychology, highlighting the journal's role in promoting interdisciplinary collaboration in cognitive science.

The article deals with the features of verbal and non-verbal creativity of Conservatory students. The study used: methods for diagnosing verbal creativity (adapted version of The S. Mednik RAT test), methods for diagnosing nonverbal creativity (short version of the Torrens test), and the "picture of the world" method. The purpose of the study was to study the features of verbal and non-verbal creativity and the image of the world of students, as well as to study their relationships. Three groups of students: low, moderate, and high level of creativity, which describes the inherent types of the world picture, the features of the development of the creativity indices. It was shown that there are significant differences in the development of verbal creativity in the originality index for students with medium and low, medium and high, low and high levels of nonverbal creativity, and in the uniqueness index for students with high and low levels of nonverbal creativity. It was found that for students with a low level of creativity, the landscape picture of the world is more pronounced, and for students with a high level of nonverbal creativity, the abstract picture of the world is more pronounced. Some significant relationships between creativity and the features of the students ' worldview are highlighted.
