The unity and interrelation of the educational, upbringing, and developmental functions of the learning process in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic

The article deals with the problem of unity and interrelation of educational, educative, and developmental functions of the educational process in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors substantiated the productivity of the attempt to study the unity and interrelation of educational, upbringing, and developmental functions of the educational process under the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors used a survey of 189 respondents, scientific and pedagogical workers of higher education, as an experimental method of research: National University of Culture and Arts (Kyiv, Ukraine); Vinnytsia Institute of Trade and Economics of Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics, (Vinnytsia, Ukraine); Vinnytsia Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi State Pedagogical University (Vinnytsia, Ukraine); Zaporizhia National University (Zaporizhia, Ukraine); Alexander Dovzhenko Hlukiv (National Pedagogical University) (Hlukiv, Ukraine). The problem of the unity of educational, upbringing, and developmental function of the learning process in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic was considered based on the elaborated sources of foreign and domestic scientists. An empirical study was carried out, which helped to determine the situation in 2021 in retrospect of the considered problem. It is concluded that the unity and interrelation of educational, pedagogical, and developing functions of the learning process in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic are the key factors of identity formation because its formation is possible only in the context of dialogical and man-centered models of education, where it is fully possible to take into account the anthropological characteristics of man, in particular his need for dialogue as communication. The authors point out that in the article scientific and pedagogical employees prefer the distance form of education because they believe that it is possible to use more various platforms and services for training and education of higher education applicants. The data of the empirical study showed that the majority of educators believe that the educational function of the learning process under the COVID-19 pandemic has changed for the better because the applicants have become more self-organized and disciplined, tired and eager to learn new material through various Internet resources. It has been observed that academic educators show indicators of improvement in their competencies during practice in the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that educators use a variety of online tools to work with applicants, such as: Zoom, Classtime, Google Meet, and others.

The Diagnostics of the Development of Cooperative Skills of Future Primary School Teachers

The study has focused on the importance of implementing the main provisions of the NUS concept, which produce the educational process based on subject-subject interaction. It has been emphasised that the new paradigm of future primary school teacher training generates new ideas into educational practice based on dialogue, cooperation, co-creation, collective action, respect for each individual, the need to understand another position, etc., which are formed in the process of cooperative learning. Therefore, pedagogical higher educational establishments should provide conditions in the system of professional training for the development of students’ cooperative skills. The purpose of the study is to describe the diagnosis of the readiness of future teachers to improve cooperative skills with the help of interactive technologies in the educational process of primary school. The study applied the following methods: “Value orientations” (M. Rokych) and “Map of research of the motivational component of readiness”, questionnaires, “Map of research of the communicative component of readiness”. The authors have described the results of the study on motivational and value, cognitive, activity and communicative components of the readiness of future primary school teachers to form cooperative skills in younger students. It has been found that applicants for higher education in the second year of study are dominated by the average level of development of cooperative skills on all criteria, which aims to further improve the educational process in the lens of research. It has been emphasised that interactive technologies involve the organisation of cooperative learning, when individual tasks grow into a group, where each member of the group contributes to joint activities. The recommendations have been developed that are useful to take into account when organising the process of cooperative learning in classes at higher educational establishments

The level of development of dexterity in applicants for higher education of the I–IV courses

The article highlights the role of the agility in human life, reveals the essence and the features of development of this physical quality. The indicators of the dexterity development in applicants for higher education of the I–IV courses of the university, which were determined by the results of the «shuttle» run 4×9 m, are considered. A comparative analysis of the indicators of the studied physical quality in boys and girls depending on age and sex is given.
 The study was conducted in September 2021 on the basis of the National Aerospace University «Kharkiv Aviation Institute». It was attended by 468 applicants for higher education of the I-IV courses, who are 17–20 years old. In the І course studied applicants for higher education, who were 17 years old, in the IІ course – 18 years old, in the IIІ course – 19 years old and in the ІV course – 20 years old. The applicants for higher education voluntarily participated in the study, about the specifics of which they were informed. To achieve the goal of the study, the following methods were used: theoretical analysis and generalization of the scientific and the methodological literature, the pedagogical testing and methods of the mathematical statistics. It was found that the best results of the «shuttle» run 4×9 m were recorded in boys and girls of the first year, who are 17 years old. A comparison of the dexterity indicators in applicants for higher education I-IV courses of the university on the basis of gender showed that they are better in boys than in girls. The age dynamics of the indicators in this contingent with age is increases, which indicates the deterioration of the studied results. It has been established that applicants for higher education of the I–IV courses have a low level of dexterity development.

Sleep and nutrition as mandatory components of a healthy lifestyle for higher education

The presented work considers the issue of violation of proper sleep at night and a balanced diet among applicants for higher education. The health of the younger generation is a problem that needs considerable attention from the state. Public institutions of higher education are those structures that can in some way affect the lives of young people, because a significant number of young people are applicants for higher education and in this status they are for a long time. The educational environment has a significant impact on participants in the educational process. Sometimes this effect is negative. In some cases, the regime of the educational process forces a person to neglect some aspects of his personal life, including the satisfaction of their physiological needs. As a result, people tend to lead a lifestyle that includes a number of negative factors that affect their physical and mental health. Chronic lack of sleep and poor diet are just such factors. To date, scientific studies have reliably established that healthy sleep and a balanced diet play a key role as components of a healthy lifestyle. It is known that chronic sleep disorders and unbalanced diet against the background of a chaotic diet have a negative impact on human health, provoking the development of serious pathologies and diseases. Research has shown that a significant number of higher education students have poor sleep and nutrition. An important point is the fact that this situation is long in time - students have been leading a lifestyle for years, associated with chronic sleep deprivation and nutritional imbalance. This situation is a threat to the health of student youth. Thus, the study of the causes of sleep disorders and unbalanced diet in different groups of higher education, as well as the development of methods to prevent the development of these phenomena is an important direction in the context of maintaining the health of citizens of Ukraine.

The Use of Virtual Reality in A Chemistry Lab and Its Impact on Students’ Self-Efficacy, Interest, Self-Concept and Laboratory Anxiety

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of virtual reality on undergraduate students’ self-efficacy, self-concept, interest, and laboratory anxiety in an introductory chemistry course. We used a mixed-methods approach to improve our understanding of how these factors mediate student learning. The findings showed that (i) the use of the virtual reality application had an overall positive impact on students’ self-efficacy, self-concept, interest, and anxiety; and (ii) students who expressed some anxiety about doing the lab prior to the course reported the use of the virtual reality application decreased their levels of anxiety at the end of the lab. The implications of these findings speak to the potential value of the use of virtual reality applications in higher education and especially in situations when distance learning is the only option as well as in situations where the costs of real laboratories cannot be afforded.

INTERDEPENDENCE INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL FORMS UNIVERSITIES AND NATIONAL FINANCIAL SECURITY INSTRUMENTS

The article analyzes the main features of innovative educational forms and methods of working with applicants for higher education. The authors analyze the key features of traditional methods, focusing on the most important educational method - the method of project management, translating it into the plane of start-up management. This article addresses issues related to the analysis of start-up project management methodologies. The work focuses on the relationship between the introduction of innovative forms of learning and ensuring financial security and social stability of society. In this aspect the influence of education on economic growth, development of human potential, increase of labour productivity, growth of well-being of the population is considered. The authors identify the channels of positive impact of education on scientific, technical and technological progress, expansion and innovative development of social production, improving the welfare of the population. The authors conclude that there is evidence of a close relationship between education and financial and economic security, as scientific knowledge increases the competence and ability of man, state and society to resist various threats, anticipate and suppress emerging dangers. The authors emphasize the focus of modern education, namely the possibility of forming different professional trajectories through consulting and corporate finance. Particular attention is paid to the need to focus educators on the growth of demand for competencies aimed at data analysis, both in the financial and non-financial spheres. It is obvious that education and the financial and economic sphere have a direct correlation, which is not always noticeable and, as a consequence, is not taken into account when making managerial decisions. However, the links between education and the country's financial and economic performance are less clear and still need to be validated and explored from a practical point of view. These are necessary steps to have a clear idea of what a national education system should be, which ensures the economic, scientific, technical, social and cultural development of the country at the level of unconditional provision of its national security and socio-economic stability.

The role of goal orientations and learning approaches in explaining digital concept mapping utilization in problem-based learning.

Concept mapping has received increasing attention and application in higher education as an effective instructional strategy. However, little is known about how higher-education students’ different motivations for learning might be related to the way they use digital concept mapping for effective learning. This study sought to design and assess an intervention program that employs digital concept mapping in problem-based learning and to evaluate the effectiveness of using this tool among students with different achievement-goal profiles on learning and deep versus surface approaches to learning. Data were collected from 129 undergraduate students from three higher-education institutions located in Israel and Austria and analyzed by using Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling. The findings indicated that digital concept mapping could benefit higher-education students, specifically at the cognitive level, in order to specify and identify the interrelationships among arguments and to learn about the topic. Another finding showed that deep learners and mastery-approach learners perceived concept mapping as an effective tool mainly for self-regulating their learning during the intervention. It is suggested to find ways to scaffold surface learners’ involvement in activities that enable them to solve complex problems by underlining the benefits of technology-enabled platforms for their learning and thus have them acknowledge concept mapping as a practice that fosters meaningful learning.

ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ЕЛЕКТРОННОЇ НАВЧАЛЬНОЇ ПЛАТФОРМИ MOODLE ЯК ЕФЕКТИВНИЙ СПОСІБ РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ ДИСТАНЦІЙНОЇ ФОРМИ НАВЧАННЯ У ПРОЦЕСІ ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ ПІДГОТОВКИ МЕНЕДЖЕРІВ

Анотація. Висвітлено проблему впровадження електронної навчальної платформи Moodle як способу реалізації дистанційної форми навчання у процесі професійної підготовки здобувачів вищої освіти за ОП «Менеджмент». Здійснений огляд наукових джерел показав, що проблема застосування платформи Moodle активно і різнопланово досліджується. Зокрема, ґрунтовними є напрацювання щодо її ефективності під час роботи з майбутніми фахівцями соціономічних професій: філологами, педагогами, проте про застосування такого методу роботи з менеджерами з’ясовано небагато, що й робить наше дослідження актуальним. На першому етапі дослідження, окрім огляду тематичної наукової літератури, здійснили моніторинг використання навчальної платформи Moodle у світі. Одержані дані показали, що Україна не входить у топ країн-лідерів у використанні згаданої навчальної платформи. На перших позиціях країни Європи, Північної та Південної Америки. Це пояснюється тим, що донедавна використання Moodle у вітчизняних закладах вищої освіти було скоріше поодинокою практикою, ніж буденним явищем. Каталізатором апробації Moodle в Україні став вимушений локдаун, що спонукав навчальні установи переформатовувати навчальний процес, адаптовувати його до реалій дистанційної освіти. За таких обставин використання нових можливостей електронних навчальних платформ стало крайньою потребою. Відносна простота інтерфейсу, достатній набір опцій і відкритий доступ зробили Moodle ресурсом, що трансформував навчальний процес у віртуальне освітнє середовище. Емпірична частина — другий етап нашого дослідження. Ми ознайомились з особливостями підготовки фахівців за спеціальністю «Менеджмент організацій і адміністрування» у Державному закладі «Луганський національний університет імені Тараса Шевченка». Провели педагогічний експеримент, залучивши 103 респонденти, яким пропонували дати відповіді на запропоновані нами в опитувальнику «Ефективність Moodle: погляд студента» запитання, а також висловити свою думку під час бесід. Мета полягала в тому, щоб з’ясувати ставлення до дистанційного навчання загалом і навчальної платформи Moodle, зокрема; виявити рівень задоволення / незадоволення; знайти шляхи поліпшення наявної ситуації. Одержані дані показали, що, загалом, студентство оцінює переваги дистанційного навчання через Moodle, проте наявність скептично налаштованих респондентів свідчить, що така форма навчання все ж потребує доопрацювання. Ключові слова: навчальна платформа Moodle, дистанційне навчання, заклади вищої освіти, професійна підготовка, менеджер. Формул: 0; рис.: 2; табл.: 1; бібл.: 10.

АКАДЕМІЧНА ДОБРОЧЕСНІСТЬ У ПІДГОТОВЦІ СУЧАСНИХ КВАЛІФІКОВАНИХ ФАХІВЦІВ З МІЖНАРОДНИХ ВІДНОСИН, ТУРИЗМУ ТА ГОТЕЛЬНО-РЕСТОРАННОЇ СПРАВИ

The article substantiates the system of formation of academic integrity during the educational process of higher education students in "Service" and "International Relations" fields of knowledge. The specific features of the manifestation of academic integrity in the educational process of training specialists in international relations, tourism and hotel and restaurant business have been highlighted. The peculiarities of observance of academic integrity by applicants for higher education during the study of components (academic disciplines), training, industrial and undergraduate practice, writing course and qualification papers have been substantiated. General recommendations on the peculiarities of adherence to academic integrity by higher education students, teachers and the administration of higher education institutions (HEIs) in the training of specialists in international relations, tourism and hotel and restaurant business have been given. It has been proposed to introduce an integrated indicator to measure the level of academic integrity (academic integrity rating) for an individual student, teacher and a representative of the management of a higher education institution. It has been determined that academic integrity in the training of higher education students and their preparation for work in a particular field (international relations, tourism, hotel and restaurant business) in modern conditions is of key importance. The level of integrity in further work in the field after graduating from a higher education institution largely depends on it, which in turn affects the career, financial, economic and image-reputation success of the graduate. Manifestations of integrity for different areas of work are different, which should be taken into account in the formation and maintenance of academic integrity during training. The main core of the upholding of academic integrity in the training of specialists in international relations, tourism and hotel and restaurant business should be the formation of moral qualities and traits. An important incentive to increase the level of academic integrity for each individual participant of the educational process (including stakeholders) and in general for higher education institution and its educational units, may be the introduction and calculation of an integrated indicator of academic integrity, calculated using a number of criteria according to justified formulas, separate for the training of professionals in various specialties and fields of knowledge, taking into account their specifics. Emphasis has been placed on the need to take into account the dependence of the nature and level of conscientious work in the field after graduation on the level of academic integrity of a graduate of a higher education institution. Key words: academic integrity of participants in the educational process, training of specialists, rating of academic integrity, dependence of conscientious work in the field on the level of academic integrity, conscientious research in international relations, tourism and hotel and restaurant business.

A review of the Development Trend of Personalized learning Technologies and its Applications

Personalized learning tailors material and strategy to student requirements, interests, and goals in e-learning. These developments help educational institutions and other organizations to keep up with the fast pace of information technology, communications, and computing power. Studies show that self-adaptive learning and relevant learning information improve study efficiency.Compared to traditional teaching methods, the practice of online education is well in its infancy. On the other hand, the pedagogy and evaluation of students in online courses have a large gap that has to be filled, necessitating significant improvements in e-learning. We call this approach to education "personalized learning," which is a central focus of today's leading online education platforms. Several studies have been conducted on e-learning and personalized learning, but few investigated the development trend of personalized learning technologies and applications. Therefore this study examines the literature to close the gap and promote the development trend for personalized learning technologies and applications in higher education from 2010 to 2021 by analyzing related journal articles. The pivotal studies used inclusion criteria after a searchgenerated 372 complete research articles and reduced them to 146 publications based on their proposed learning domains and research themes. Through carefully reviewing current trends and successes in numerous aspects of personalized learning, this discussion analyzes prospective future research directions in the field of personalized learning.

Practical aspects of establishing of pedagogical interaction in higher-educational institutions

The article considers theoretical and practical aspects of the organization of pedagogical interaction in higher-educational institutions. It is noted that the category of “interactionˮ was first used in the works of philosophers in the context of interpreting natural theories of the origin of the universe in the VII–VI centuries. BC. It is proved that pedagogical interaction in a pandemic time requires new approaches for its practical implementation. Based on the theoretical analysis of scientific sources, it is shown that pedagogical interaction is the result of awareness of participants of the educational process: social, professional and activity experience; experience of activity and interpersonal relations in a small group; intersubjective experience. The analysis of separate semantic and functional features of the category “interactionˮ in the system of psychological and pedagogical concepts, in particular: influence, mutual influence, activity, contacts is offered. The variety of goals of pedagogical interaction, which are realized by its participants, is described: formation of a competent specialist in the chosen field; creating conditions for the formation of motivational readiness of students for professional growth; usage of means for an effective practical component of professional training of students in the conditions of lockdown restrictions. Emphasis is placed on the role of the mentor (curator) of the academic group in establishing effective pedagogical interaction. It is noted that the effectiveness of mentors is largely due to the usage in their professional activity the main principles of pedagogy of cooperation: the principle of equality, the principle of partnership, the principle of mutual respect. Practical advice on establishing effective pedagogical interaction in the educational environment of higher-educational institutions is offered. It is essential to have maximum access to various sources of information, keep the rights of all participants of pedagogical interaction and create invariant professionally oriented tasks in order to solve them in the online learning system. Keywords: pedagogical interaction, academic group advisor, educational process, applicants for higher education, pedagogy of cooperation.
