Hygienic Assessment of Schoolchildren’s Learning Labour Intensity

It development of social life determines labor predominance in the sphere of information production, storage, processing and realization. With an increase in information flows, teaching information that should be studied by schoolchildren increases. In connection with this, research of intensification factors in education from the point of view of hygiene is very urgent. Our goal was to study learning labor intensity and assess junior schoolchildren’ mental abilities in different types of schools. The authors have proposed an adapted variant (N. F. Izmerov) of labor intensity assessment. Mental potential was studied with the use of the Ravenn test. The schoolchildren from different types of schools participated in that study: from an innovation school - 55 schoolchildren and from a traditional school - 47 schoolchildren. The high index of learning labor intensity didn’t stimulate mental development of junior schoolchildren. The technique of learning labor intensity assessment adapted by the author is very effective and can be used for hygienic assessment of a learning process intensification
