Academic journal website from the user’s perspective

Professional community recommendations on the content of academic journal websites mostly include criteria for indexing in databases, however these recommendations do not consider the authors’ and reviewers’ perspective on the website contents and design. To address this, we analyzed these recommendations through a survey of 198 Russian academic journal authors and reviewers, using a continuous sampling technique. The survey took place in April and May 2024. The questionnaire was based on the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing by COPE, DOAJ etc. The survey also focused on the journal website content, design, mobile version, and publication strategy of academic journal website users. We analyzed the survey results for two partially overlapping sets of authors who published in journals indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, and Russian Citation Science Index Core, or in journals listed by the Higher Attestation Commission of Russian Federation. The study revealed that both COPE’s recommendations and users of academic websites value information regarding aims and scope of the journal, copyright fees, review policies, timelines for the editorial and publication process, and licensing. However, Russian authors and reviewers put less emphasis on website sections that address ethical principles and authorship criteria. They prioritize having an online editorial office, security certification, scientific journal indexing and abstracting information, additional educational materials, and the ability to customize the website for devices with different screen sizes. We also discuss the importance of HTML meta tags for promoting the journal’s website. The findings of the research may contribute to promotion of Russian academic journals in international databases, improve the efficiency of communication between authors, reviewers and editors, and develop a set of recommendations that complement international publishing conventions.

Sociological study of the digital culture of a university teacher (using the example of the Moscow State Linguistic University)

In the article, based on the study conducted by the sociological laboratory of the Moscow State Linguistic University (hereinafter referred to as MSLU), the essence and level of digital culture of a university teacher are determined, problematic areas of digitalisation of the educational process are identified, which require urgent measures to improve the current situation in the higher education system of the Russian Federation. The study has proved that the digital culture of the university teacher is their digital social competence formed in the course of professional activity as well as the driving force that determines the attitude towards the digitalisation of the educational process. The development level of the digital culture of a teacher at a linguistic university is below average. The majority of respondents have digital skills and use basic digital technologies in the learning process. The level of proficiency among teachers of the MSLU is comparable to the level of development of these skills among teachers at other Russian universities. At the same time, in terms of the level of competence in developing online courses and using their materials as additional educational material, teachers of the MSLU lag behind the all-Russian indicators. The main problematic areas of the digitalisation of the educational process are: low degree of equipment of audiences with modern technical means; low quality and availability of Internet communications on the territory of educational buildings; insufficient opportunities to improve the level of the digital culture of teaching staff in the field of modern digital technologies, etc.

THE MOTIF OF THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT'S INFLUENCE ON THE INDIVIDUAL

The article analyzes the motif of the influence of urban life on the characters (the fate of people) of Tolen Abdikov’s story “The right hand” and Didar Amantay’s story “I miss you”. Also, issues such as loneliness, misunderstanding within the family, lack of time in the city, the density of the life schedule, people’s envy and jealousy, that are part of city life were comprehensively analyzed through examples from the works. The influence of city life on the consciousness, mood and soul of a person, conflict situations in communication between people were revealed based on a psychoanalytic analysis of the heroes’ characters and analyzed with examples of situations which took place in the personal practice of the scientist K. Jung who studied the psychology of creativity. The hermeneutic method is employed for the interpretation of the text of a literary work, while the psychoanalytic method is utilized for discerning the author's unconscious imagination and analyzing the unconscious actions of characters within the literary piece. Furthermore, the article sets forth the task of analyzing changes in the psychology of urban characters in relation to societal transformations. The conclusions drawn from this study can be applied as additional educational material in preparation for lectures and practical classes in the disciplines “Theory of Literature”, “Modern Kazakh Literature”, “Literary Analysis and Literary Creativity” which are taught in universities and also during studying the formation of new directions in literary criticism.

Features of Distance Educational Technologies within the Framework Implemented by the Federal State Educational Standard

This article discusses the main normative documents regulating the forms and levels of professional training of students. Special attention is paid to the features of distance learning technologies (DOT) implemented as part of correspondence education at the agrarian University. The purpose of the research article is the application of new educational technologies in higher education. Research methodology and methods: theoretical analysis and descriptive method, including methods of comparative analysis of developed materials. In the course of this work, a comparative analysis of educational and methodological complexes of disciplines developed by the teaching staff was carried out. The results of the study. The university has developed an approximate structure of methodological materials, which includes an educational and methodological manual, funds of evaluation tools and additional educational and methodological materials. The approximate structure of the lesson in blocks is revealed: organizational, student and certification. Conclusion. Based on the studied materials, a generalizing conclusion can be drawn. The developed regulatory framework clearly regulates the organization and procedure for conducting distance learning.

Raising Awareness about Sex Trafficking among School Personnel.

We aimed to (1) understand the level of knowledge about sex trafficking of minors among school personnel and the determinants of such knowledge and (2) test the efficacy of short educational videos in increasing knowledge (awareness level) about sex trafficking of minors among school personnel. We employed an online survey to gather responses from 741 school personnel living in the US. The McNemar test was used to test for differences in knowledge before and after exposure to the videos. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of knowledge based on the respondents' characteristics. Predictors of knowledge about sex trafficking were years of experience in working with youth, level of education, and being a female. Exposure to the educational videos improved school personnel's basic knowledge about this crime and interest in seeking additional educational material. School personnel have a high level of awareness of risk factors for sex trafficking but less awareness of the definition of sex trafficking in children. Exposure to short educational videos can increase awareness in the short term. There is a need to develop more comprehensive training initiatives for school personnel on sex trafficking. However, training alone is not sufficient, and there is also a need for developing school protocols and programs to provide adequate support to victims of this crime.

MYTH IN "NOMADIC NOVELS" BY S.SANBAEV (ARTISTIC SPACE AND TIME)

Myth is not only a source of “eternal” plots and archetypes, but also has a structuring effect on the organization of space and time of a work of art. A particularly close connection with folklore and mythology is observed in national literature.The purpose of the article was to analyze the features of the organization of space and time in S. Sanbaev's “Nomadic novels” as a reflection of the mythological and national picture of the world, which is a new approach in the study of S. Sanbaev's work.During the study, literary and mythopoetic analysis of the text was used, which allows us to better understand the author’s intention, identify hidden meanings and codes, as well as systematic research for a holistic analysis of the work. As a result of the study, a number of provisions were established that reveal the scientific significance of the work. The cyclicity of time is reflected in the roll call of epochs, the succession of the hero's name, the repetition of storylines, as well as in the construction of the cycle of stories itself. The circular construction of the stories is enhanced by the motifs of the road and returns, which are cross-cutting in the cycle. The mythological space is characterized by a tripartite structure of the universe: the division into the upper -middle -lower worlds. The horizontal cosmogonic model with orientation to the cardinal points is clearly traced in the principle of the structure of the Shakpak temple. The practical significance of the work is that the article can be used as an additional educational material in preparation for lectures and seminars on the discipline “Mythopoeticanalysis of literary text”, “Methods of literary criticism” in higher educational institutions, as well as in university special coursesin the creative laboratory of writers.

Research Work for Students: Its Peculiarities at Ukrainian Higher Education Institutions in the Conditions of Martial Law

The paper presents analysis of two ways for organizing the research work for students at the Department of Foreign Languages in Lviv National Environmental University: a) the use of modern technologies, robotization of production processes abroad and in Ukraine; b) educational material researched by students from massive open online courses platforms, other electronic resources for students as additional educational materials to the main ones proposed by teachers for the taught disciplines. There are also considered some electronic educational materials implemented for students and discussed by professors of different Ukrainian higher educational institutions at teachers’ conferences as well as the ways of spreading the results of students research work and exchanging their experience in usage of the reviewed materials are proposed. Under martial law, the research work for students of higher education institutions of Ukraine should be brought to a new level, especially in the military sphere and for helping our people to quickly restore all spheres of the national economy destroyed during the Russian-Ukrainian war. The results of the students research can be used by the teaching staff for planning and improving the educational process at our and other universities.

Because the effectiveness of new methods is always important. The author focused on the formation of speaking, writing, reading and listening skills of students in their specialty. The article not only gives tasks revealing aspects and subtleties of jurisprudence, but also contains information aimed at studying new terms. When writing the article, the authors paid special attention to tasks in the speech direction when working with the text, because they: develop mental activity; contribute to the formation of the use of the studied vocabulary and grammatical categories used in syntactic constructions. In the article, since the authors intend to form the mutual speech of students in their specialties, many tasks are set to create role-playing interviews, the ability to compose their own interviews using the example of ready-made interviews. There is also a training method, because any education begins with training. Scientific significance of the research work: the article contributes to the development of the Kazakh language in higher educational institutions. And practical significance: the results of the study can be used as additional educational material in practical classes.

ҚАШЫҚТАН БАҚЫЛАНАТЫН ЕМТИХАНДАРДЫ ҰЙЫМДАСТЫРУҒА АРНАЛҒАН ТЕСТІЛЕУ ПЛАТФОРМАСЫНЫҢ ҚҰРЫЛЫМЫ

This study analyzes the existing problems that arise when using remotely controlled platforms for conducting exams in modern educational institutions. The main purpose of the work was to identify the theoretical foundations and develop practical solutions to create a more effective test platform capable of solving the identified problems and improving the distance learning process. During the research, the main difficulties faced by students and teachers when using platforms such as Platonus, Moodle, iSpring, Open Edx and UStudy were analyzed. It was found that many of the existing systems are not effective enough in ensuring the reliability of testing, supporting proctoring and providing feedback to students. Based on the analysis, the architecture of a new test platform was proposed, taking into account the problems and needs of students and teachers. As part of the research, methods and solutions were developed aimed at improving the proctoring system, automating the testing process, ensuring the safety of exam results in case of problems with the Internet, as well as providing additional educational materials for students. Thus, the results of the study make it possible to effectively solve key problems related to distance learning and testing, and offer a new high-quality solution for organizing exams in educational institutions. This will improve the quality of education and provide a more effective system for assessing students' knowledge in the modern educational process.

Engaging communities to inform the development of a diverse cohort of cancer survivors: formative research for the eat move sleep study (EMOVES)

BackgroundThere are more than 18 million cancer survivors in the United States. Yet, survivors of color remain under-represented in cancer survivorship research (Saltzman et al. in Contemp Clin Trials Commun 29:100986, 2022; Pang et al. in J Clin Oncol 34:3992–3999, 2016; Lythgoe et al. in Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis 24:1208–1211, 2021). Our long-term goal is to enroll and follow a cohort of historically under-represented cancer survivors, to better understand modifiable risk factors that influence clinical and quality of life outcomes in these populations. Towards that goal, we describe herein how we applied community-based participatory research approaches to develop inclusive study materials for enrolling such a cohort.MethodsWe implemented community engagement strategies to inform and enhance the study website and recruitment materials for this cohort including: hiring a dedicated engagement coordinator/community health educator as a member of our team; working with the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center Office of Community Engagement (OCE) and Community Advisory Board members; presenting our educational, research, and study recruitment materials at community events; and establishing a community advisory group specifically for the study (4 individuals). In parallel with these efforts, 20 semi-structured user testing interviews were conducted with diverse cancer survivors to inform the look, feel, and usability of the study website.ResultsEngagement with community members was a powerful and important approach for this study’s development. Feedback was solicited and used to inform decisions regarding the study name (eat move sleep, EMOVES), logo, study website content and imagery, and recruitment materials. Based on community feedback, we developed additional educational materials on healthy groceries and portion size in multiple languages and created a study video.ConclusionsIncluding an engagement coordinator as a permanent team member, partnering with the institutional community outreach and engagement resources (i.e., OCE), and allocating dedicated time and financial support for cultivating relationships with stakeholders outside the university were critical to the development of the study website and materials. Our community guided strategies will be tested as we conduct enrollment through community advisor networks and via the state cancer registry.

THE IMAGE OF THE CITY IN MODERN KAZAKH POETRY

The article analyzes poems about the city in modern Kazakh poetry. The purpose of the research is to identify the specifics of the image of the city in a work of art, to consolidate the concepts of «Almaty text», «Astana text», «Almaty night», «morning of Astana», «city girl», «street lights», etc. in Kazakh literary studies by analyzing the works written on the theme of the city in modern Kazakh literature. The methodological basis of the research is the work of scientists Y.M. Lotman, V.N. Toporov, S.P. Gurin, V.V. Ivanov, N.V. Schmidt, V.G. Ilyina et al., who analyzed the urban text. The definition of the concept of «urban text» is systematized and presented. The poems of G. Zhailybai, D. Kapuly and A. Fayzolla devoted to the theme of the city were taken as the object of research. During the analysis of poems written about the city, the peculiarities of the perception of the city by poets were revealed. In the process of identifying intertextual elements in literary texts (reminiscence, allusion), the authors confirmed the hypothesis of the study «The history of any city is connected with the name of a particular person, with historical events». Also, the poets' feelings towards the city (alienation, loneliness, getting used to the city, etc.) were illustrated by examples from works of art. The methods of structural-semantic, intertextual, hermeneutic research were used in the course of the study in order to identify and describe the features of the «urban text» in modern Kazakh poetry. The results obtained on the basis of the study can be used as additional educational material in preparation for lectures and practical classes in the disciplines of «Theory of Literature», «Modern Kazakh literature» taught at universities.

Qualitative Study on the Factors Influencing the Utilisation of Products Labelled "Food for Special Medicinal Use" (FSMP).

This study aimed to investigate Romanian physicians' awareness, recommendation practices, and opinions regarding the use of Foods for Special Medical Purposes (FSMPs) products. A total of ten physicians were interviewed using a structured questionnaire, and their responses were analysed using thematic content analysis. The study found that physicians were aware of FSMPs and recommended them to their patients based on nutritional deficits, weight loss, or deglutition impairments. In addition, disease stage, treatment scheme, taste, affordability, and availability were identified as factors influencing the recommendation and use of FSMPs. While physicians generally did not consult clinical trials, clinical experience was deemed essential for recommending FSMPs to patients. Patients' feedback regarding the usage and sourcing of FSMPs was generally positive, with some expressing concerns about the availability of different flavours and the costs of purchasing the products. This study concluded that physicians play a vital role in recommending FSMPs to patients and ensuring they have the necessary nutritional support during treatment. However, it may be imperative to consider the provision of additional patient education materials and fostering collaborative efforts with nutritionists in order to optimise the prospects of positive outcomes in oncology treatment, while simultaneously alleviating the financial burdens faced by patients.

Нейросеть Twee – новый инструментарий для педагога английского языка

Importance. The integration of artificial intelligence technologies into educational processes is becoming an irreversible process in the development of the information society. With regard to the methodology of foreign language teaching, many researchers note the huge potential of new technologies that can be used to increase the effectiveness of teaching and improve the quality of education. Artificial intelligence technologies are actively used in adaptive learning of foreign languages. Neural networks allow creating personalized training programs and unique content that meet the level of development of the student and his personal interests and needs. Artificial intelligence technologies make it possible to automate the performance of a number of pedagogical tasks, thereby saving the teacher’s time. Such tasks include the generation of educational content and automated assessment of academic performance. Numerous virtual assistants working on artificial intelligence algorithms make it possible to effectively learn a foreign language, respond to students’ requests, provide additional educational materials, give recommendations and are able to maintain feedback. However, despite the obvious advantages, neural networks have a number of significant disadvantages that can negatively affect the learning process. The purpose of this work is to study the Twee neural network, which is positioned as an effective assistant to an English teacher, to determine its linguistic and didactic potential and functional features, to identify its strengths and weaknesses, as well as to determine its applicability for solving certain pedagogical tasks. Research Methods. Theoretical methods are used to conduct the research: the study of scientific literature on the research topic, analysis, generalization and classification; empirical methods: observation, description and experimental verification; practical methods: modeling the educational process. As a result of studying the linguodidactic potential and functional features of the Twee neural network, its tools are identified and described, allowing an English teacher to plan, organize and evaluate the educational process. Results and Discussion. The applicability of the Twee neural network to the process of learning English has been studied and described in detail. This neural network allows generating unique educational content and creating communicative exercises aimed at developing all types of speech activity and aspects of language, with the exception of phonetics. The paper also analyzes the capabilities of the Twee neural network to perform pedagogical tasks that an English teacher faces on a daily basis. Conclusion. In the current state, the Twee neural network is the first qualitative step towards integrating artificial intelligence technologies into the methodology of teaching a foreign language. Having a number of obvious advantages, this neural network will not be able to completely replace an English teacher, but will act as an additional learning tool. The obtained results and conclusions can be used in further research on the methodology of teaching foreign languages using artificial intelligence technologies.

Creating an online educational intervention to improve knowledge about systematic reviews among healthcare workers: mixed-methods pilot study

BackgroundLack of knowledge about systematic reviews (SRs) could prevent individual healthcare workers (HCWs) from using SRs as a source of information in their clinical practice or discourage them from participating in such research. In this study, we aimed to explore in-depth the opinion of a sample of HCWs about the newly created online educational intervention designed to improve knowledge about SRs.MethodsWe created a brief online educational intervention on SRs, consisting of 11 textual modules. We evaluated it among practicing HCWs who graduated from a university-level health sciences program using a mixed-methods pilot study that consisted of pre- and post-intervention questionnaires and qualitative evaluation via semi-structured interviews. We assessed participants’ knowledge about SR methodology before and after the intervention, and compared the responses. We sought their opinions about the characteristics of SRs. Also, the participants were presented with four scientific abstracts, where they were asked to distinguish whether those abstracts presented summaries of a systematic or a non-systematic review.ResultsTwelve participants took part in the study. In the pilot study, the participants’ knowledge about SRs was improved after the intervention compared to the baseline. Participants provided positive feedback regarding the educational intervention. Suggestions to improve the educational intervention were to provide more details about the forest plot, add more digital content or images, provide more details about the methodological steps of an SR, add descriptions about practical applications of SRs and provide links to additional educational materials. The participants suggested that HCWs could be motivated to take part in such an education if it is offered as continuing medical education (CME) course or credit for academic/career advancement.ConclusionHCWs provided positive feedback about the newly designed online educational intervention on SRs; they considered it an appropriate tool for learning about SRs and resulted in increased knowledge about SRs. In addition, participants gave suggestions for improving education, which can be used to tailor the education for end-users. In future studies, it would be useful to examine the effectiveness of the modified educational intervention on increasing knowledge in a larger sample and in the form of a randomized controlled trial.

Usability and Utility of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Clinical Decision Support to Increase Knowledge and Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Initiations among Pediatric Providers.

An effective clinical decision support system (CDSS) may address the current provider training barrier to offering preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to youth at risk for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. This study evaluated change in provider knowledge and the likelihood to initiate PrEP after exposure to a PrEP CDSS. A secondary objective explored perceived provider utility of the CDSS and suggestions for improving CDSS effectiveness. This was a prospective study using survey responses from a convenience sample of pediatric providers who launched the interruptive PrEP CDSS when ordering an HIV test. McNemar's test evaluated change in provider PrEP knowledge and likelihood to initiate PrEP. Qualitative responses on CDSS utility and suggested improvements were analyzed using framework analysis and were connected to quantitative analysis elements using the merge approach. Of the 73 invited providers, 43 had available outcome data and were included in the analysis. Prior to using the CDSS, 86% of participants had never been prescribed PrEP. Compared to before CDSS exposure, there were significant increases in the proportion of providers who were knowledgeable about PrEP (p = 0.0001), likely to prescribe PrEP (p < 0.0001) and likely to refer their patient for PrEP (p < 0.0001). Suggestions for improving the CDSS included alternative "triggers" for the CDSS earlier in visit workflows, having a noninterruptive CDSS, additional provider educational materials, access to patient-facing PrEP materials, and additional CDSS support for adolescent confidentiality and navigating financial implications of PrEP. Our findings suggest that an interruptive PrEP CDSS attached to HIV test orders can be an effective tool to increase knowledge and likelihood to initiate PrEP among pediatric providers. Continual improvement of the PrEP CDSS based on provider feedback is required to optimize usability, effectiveness, and adoption. A highly usable PrEP CDSS may be a powerful tool to close the gap in youth PrEP access and uptake.

Surveillance mammography in older breast cancer survivors: Current practice patterns and patient perceptions

IntroductionAlthough the benefits of surveillance mammography for older breast cancer survivors have not been quantified prospectively, it is unlikely that mammography provides substantial benefit (and possible that mammography is harmful) to women with limited life expectancy and a low risk for in-breast cancer events. Materials and MethodsWe identified 1268 women aged 77 and older with a history of Stage I-III breast cancer, who did not undergo bilateral mastectomy, were diagnosed with cancer at least three years prior to study entry, and who had consented to be surveyed as part of the Mayo Clinic Breast Disease Registry. We mailed them a one-time survey asking about their experiences with surveillance mammography. Women with metastatic disease were excluded. The primary endpoint was whether or not women reported at least one mammogram since breast cancer surgery. ResultsEight hundred forty-six of 1268 (67%) returned the survey, 734 of whom were eligible for analysis. The median age at the time of survey was 82, and the median time since cancer diagnosis was 12 years. Ninety-three percent reported having had at least one mammogram since their initial breast cancer surgery. Seventy-nine percent reported that they had surveillance mammography annually over the prior three years, including 76% of the 491 aged 80+ and 64% of the 189 aged 85 + . DiscussionMost older breast cancer survivors who have residual breast tissue are undergoing annual mammograms. Additional educational materials may be beneficial for patients and clinicians to better individualize plans for surveillance mammography in older breast cancer survivors.

“I Didn’t Know What They’re Gonna Do to Me: So That’s Why I Said No”: Why Youth Decline HIV Testing in Emergency Departments

Youth between the ages of 13 and 24 account for over 20% of new HIV diagnoses in the United States but are the least likely age group to be HIV tested in healthcare settings including the emergency department. This is in part due to the fact that almost 50% of youth decline testing when offered. We elucidated youth patients’ perspectives on barriers to and facilitators of routine HIV testing of youth in an urban emergency department setting. Thirty-seven patients aged 13–24 years were recruited from the pediatric and adult emergency departments at a high-volume hospital in New York City from August 2019 to March 2020. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with all participants. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim, and transcripts were coded using an inductive thematic analysis approach. Youths’ main reasons for declining HIV testing when offered included low risk perception, privacy concerns, HIV-related stigma, and low levels of HIV-related knowledge. Participants’ responses suggested that HIV educational materials provided when testing is offered may be insufficient. Participants recommended providing additional HIV education and better incorporating HIV testing into the emergency department routine to increase testing among youth. Efforts are needed to help youth recognize their own HIV risk and increase their HIV-related knowledge. This may be accomplished by providing youth with additional educational materials on HIV, possibly via tablet-based interventions or other methods that may enhance privacy, combined with discussions with healthcare providers. Such efforts may help increase HIV testing acceptance among youth seen in the emergency department.

The Visible Ape Project: a free, comprehensive, web‐based anatomical atlas designed to raise public awareness about apes

Based at a Howard University, the Visible Ape Project (www.visibleapeproject.com) aims to provide free, publicly accessible anatomical educational resources suitable for classrooms from K‐12 and beyond. It is designed to comprehensively illustrate anatomy and anatomical variation within and between extant ape species. It contains photographs, MRI, CT scans, and 3D models to explore homologies and variations in soft and hard tissues across hylobatids, orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, and humans. These include detailed, labeled 3D artist renderings of the musculoskeletal system as well as 3D models of the skeletal and central nervous system based on radiological imaging of apes. They can be manipulated or downloaded and 3D printed to explore anatomy interactively, promoting active learning. Additional educational materials are available, including information about non‐human ape species, lesson plans, and a glossary of evolutionary and anatomical terms.The primary goals of the project are to promote human and ape evolutionary anatomy, broadly, and to integrate and disseminate to communities underrepresented in anthropology and evolutionary biology, specifically. Accordingly, the VAP incorporates outreach activities to disseminate science and promote awareness of apes, forming partnerships with veterinarians and conservationists in Africa and Asia. Additionally, we include many resources in Spanish. The site has been accessed by individuals from many countries across the globe, including many Spanish speaking countries, and nearly all US states. In this presentation, we will introduce the website to illustrate how this accessible, evolving resource can support research and education in human and comparative anatomy.

Research of CLIL Teaching Materials

Content and Language Integrated Learning as a widely used and in-demand technology in the field of foreign language teaching has recently begun to be introduced into the practice of secondary schools in our country. The problems associated with the implementation of CLIL can be attributed to the cultural, linguistic and professional experience of teachers (and students), the relative unpreparedness of teachers to use this complex and integrated approach, the problems of evaluation in the context of two-way, i.e. subject-language education and, most importantly, limited access to specialized educational materials on CLIL. At the same time, the search, adaptation and preparation of suitable and attractive educational material corresponding to the language level of students and taking into account their age characteristics is a job that requires a lot of time, labor and special competencies. It's no secret that there is no serious research in this area. The proposed article discusses the educational materials used in the subject-language integrated learning as one of the urgent problems in this area. What educational material do teachers and students prefer to work with and why? Teachers make additional educational materials, not limited to the use of ready-made textbooks. How are learning materials perceived by students that help the teacher adapt to the language level of students, focusing on the correspondence between students and the learning material, thereby improving student independence and creating a safe learning environment? We believe that our results can be considered as a starting point for future research in the field of theory and practice of developing CLIL teaching materials in teacher training courses and advanced training of subject teachers involved in the process of multilingual learning.
