Abstract:
The article presents the results of investigations of school success in students during the period of adaptation to the gymnasium cycle. Studies have shown that by the end of the first semester of studies in the 5th grade, 60% of girls and 57% of boys have satisfactory levels of adaptation and tension of adaptation mechanisms, but a small part of the children (10% girls and 5% boys) show straining of adaptation mechanisms. The level of adaptation determined school success during this period, so in children in the first semester the general results in education were lower compared to those obtained at the end of the primary cycle. Nominally, children with weaker levels of adaptation demonstrated lower results. Data on the decrease in school success during the transition from primary to gymnasium cycle were also attested during the previous eleven years.
