MEANS OF PREPARATION OF A TEACHER FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPETENCE-ORIENTED EDUCATION

The change in worldviews of society, the integration of Ukraine into the European educational space determine the latest requirements for the level of teacher training. The country’s education system should prepare students for professional activity in the world, which requires competencies to construct an innovative reality. In the studies of Ukrainian scientists, it was repeatedly pointed out the existence of a contradiction between the requirements of the competence approach to the organization of the educational process and the modern practice of higher pedagogical educational institutions. The purpose of the article is to analyze modern scientific research devoted to the study of ways to prepare a modern teacher for the implementation of competence-oriented education, to systematize and summarize information on the didactic aspects of the effective use of teaching aids, in particular those based on information and computer technologies, in the conditions of the transition to competence-oriented education. One of the main trends in the development of informatization of education is the desire to use educational Internet resources, which provides users with access to domestic and foreign sources of information, provides the opportunity to choose the form and place of study, the level of education. One of the key points of the transition to competence-oriented education is a significant increase in the importance of independent work of students and the use of active and personally-oriented forms of education. Effective organization of this type of student activity involves ensuring the solution of such educational tasks as the development of critical thinking; mastering the techniques of independent mental activity; training technicians to work with large amounts of information and to construct new knowledge; effective interaction with others. Active and competent use of information and communication technologies and digital learning tools is a necessary condition for the further implementation of the competence-oriented education model. How effectively this process will take place depends on the level of ICT competence of both teachers and students of education, high-quality electronic content, the activity of forming network educational communities as an innovative environment, the exchange of the best educational methods and practices.

Anatomy of Chua's System - Nonlinear Dynamic Electronics for Chaos in the Lab

This paper gives an insight into the workings of inductorless Chua's circuit in the context of education. The objective is to integrate teaching and research by promoting chaotic oscillators, circuit design, signal processing and control as a field that embraces science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). In more detail, this contribution showcases a possible structure of the basic principle for nonlinear dynamics. An analysis based on Jacobian method is used to locally characterize the dynamical behavior at the undergraduate level in form of a workshop in the lab. Emphasis is given to the electrical components and circuital conditions and their possible interpretation of Chua's circuit in order to enable chaotic dynamics. Furthermore, it shows some historical background and presents the field of wide-ranging applications to combine appropriate didactic aspects of control with integrated circuits and hardware prototyping. The idea is to propose to students a challenging topic because of its intrinsic mathematical and physical nature but in the meantime giving a real tangibility to the paradox of intriguing phenomena.

Поэтика цикла басен Басанга Дорджиева «Эдǝр эд кедго эдл-ахун hардачнрт»

Introduction. The satirical legacy of Kalmyk writer Basang B. Dordzhiev (1918–1969) includes both separate fables and one fable cycle created in 1961. The poet’s addresses to the genre of fable were not that often and never regular, the former witnessed mainly by the 1960s. The fables were published both in periodicals and in author’s editions. None of the fables have been translated into Russian. Neither have those become objects of research — except for our articles. Materials and methods. The study examines the fable cycle titled ‘To Agricultural Executives with No Practical Skills of Their Own’ (Kalm. Edär ed kedgo edl-akhun γardachnrt) by B. Dordzhiev and his sociallyoriented fables of the 1960s published in journals. The historical literary and comparative methods prove instrumental in defining genre differentiations within B. Dordzhiev’s satirical heritage ― fables, fable cycle, poetic feuilleton, and their characteristics. Goals. The article attempts insights into the fable cycle containing social criticism over incompetent directors of state-owned agricultural enterprises, revisits a number of other social fables dated to the 1960s. Results. To Agricultural Executives with No Practical Skills of Their Own comprises four fables, their titles clearly identifying themes and motifs, satirical types, and relations to folklore. The social orientation of the works coexists with moralities typical for other fables of this period. Conclusions. Despite that B. Dordzhiev, as a rule, mentioned no genre differentiations for his satirical works, this cycle can be identified as fable. This is indicated by both contents and form of the works, obligatory moralities at the end of each narrative, didactic aspect, and style. Some of the poet’s poetic feuilletons also draw satirical portraits of his contemporary rural officials.

The Heike Monogatari Hyōban Hidenshō Commentary in the Edo Period: Discussion, Criticism, and Education

This article presents several passages from the anonymous 17th c. commentary Heike monogatari hyōban hidenshō. This understudied commentary on the medieval Tale of the Heike shows the didactic aspect of this works reception in the Edo period. Based on comparison with similar texts, such as the commentary Teikanhyō, the claim is made that didactic works of this kind have group authorship and are related to group discussions (kaidoku) by warriors interested in matters of leadership and statecraft. Commentaries such as the Heike monogatari hyōban hidenshō were linked with educational settings throughout the Edo period: in the 17th c. they were used for lectures to daimyo lords, and in the 18th19th cc. they were found in domain schools (hankō) since their content made them suitable for educating young warriors.

Pedagogies and Didactic of Junior High School Teachers on Learning Process on Mathematical Problem Solving

Each teacher has documented their learning process that has been conducted during three meetings. The topic observation materials were Geometry; the materials chosen were because the topic would enable the process of learning about mathematical problem-solving. Videos of the learning process would be analyzed to see how the depth and breadth of pedagogical and didactic aspects of each teacher. The type of this research is descriptive research by using the study cases method. Based on the finding of the research, it was obtained a theory that suggested three categories of the depth of didactic and pedagogical aspects of teachers in the process of solving mathematical problems. These three categories are named in this paper with good, very good, and excellent categories. These three categories will be explained detail in this paper.

The contribution of m-learning applications to improving the performance of training on the Moodle platform

Abstract This paper presents a proposal for a mobile learning application called MySchool, which will be added to the e-learning platform Moodle and which contribute together with it to increase the efficiency of training on the platform. In the first part, analyzing the specialized studies, it was found that the main deficiencies reported in the case of e-learning platforms come mainly from the way the platform was designed and especially from the design of the training model when the beneficiaries and users are students in the pre-university course. The paper proposes a mobile learning training system to be added to an existing e-learning platform in schools in Constanta County, Romania. The chosen platform was the Moodle platform which does not make such an application available to users. The main features of the Moodle platform are further analyzed together with the didactic aspects of the application of the platform in the online training process of students. At the same time, the advantages of students who use mobile applications are presented, as well as the disadvantages of m-learning applications. For the design of the proposed system, the ALDIE software design model was chosen together with the rapid prototyping method. The functional and non-functional requirements of the MySchool system and its three-level architecture have been established (Fig. 7). We also designed a learning network in a classroom with 25 students for the proposed system. The conclusions of the paper highlight the usefulness and need for such a system attached to an e-learning platform.

Emergency Remote Education in the Perception of On-Site Accounting Sciences Students during the Covid-19 pandemic

This study aimed to investigate the perception of on-site students of the Accounting Sciences Program of a public university that adopted emergency remote learning during the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil, highlighting the aspects that favor or hinder learning. A qualitative and descriptive study was carried out, with data collected through 4 focus groups with the participation of 80 students from an on-site undergraduate program in Accounting Sciences. The results indicate that the students perceive the structural factors (flexibility in the deadlines for delivery of activities), personal and collective factors (autonomy in the learning process) and didactic-pedagogical factors (use of active methodologies by the professor) as facilitating aspects of the remote education. As for the aspects that hinder learning, we highlight external factors (lack of internet access), individual factors (not maintaining a study routine and increased stress levels) and traditional remote education (monotonous videoconference classes). Finally, an optimistic vision for future trends is observed, with changes in the human aspects (change of paradigm of the student's role), institutional aspects (greater use of technology) and formative aspects (use of active methodologies). It is concluded that the use of active methodologies in the didactic and pedagogical aspect raises the participation of the number of students in remote classes and improves the quality of learning. This study can contribute to educational institutions that adopt emergency remote education for continuity of academic activities in periods of crisis, as well as to professors who plan their activities. It emphasizes the role of the professor and the importance of active methodologies in the development of knowledge.

School Health Promotion at the Time of COVID-19: An Exploratory Investigation with School Leaders and Teachers.

The Coronavirus pandemic has impacted the entire school population’s emotions and the disruption of the organization of the school world. In this context it is important to reflect on the role of health promotion at school. The present study aimed at exploring school leaders’ and teachers’ perspectives and experiences about COVID-19 pandemic and its effects in the school and education system. The first objective was to gather the experience of school leaders regarding the change in school organization, with particular attention to organizational and health promotion aspects. The second was to investigate the perception of health promotion and self-efficacy of teachers in primary, middle and high schools. The research was conducted using qualitative (focus groups for the school leaders) and quantitative methods (questionnaires for the teachers). The findings showed new ways of improving wellbeing at school and implementing health promotion through the sharing of good practice between school leaders. The need for time and space to reflect among school leaders on the educational and didactic aspects of school organization also emerged. Teachers showed a low to medium level of self-efficacy regarding the adoption of strategies in line with health promotion; specificities for each grade and level will be discussed.

Strävan mot en inkluderande skolmåltid. Strategier för att ge likvärdiga förutsättningar

Towards an Inclusive School Meal. Strategies to Provide Equal Opportunities. The aim of this study is to explore how the school meal can be organized in different ways in order to become more inclusive for all pupils. The study is based on data from a three-year research project where school and kitchen staff in three schools have been interviewed twice about their experiences of the school meal situation to identify current challenges and desirable improvements. Despite a similar set of problems with logistics and the physical and psychosocial environment of the canteen, the schools choose different strategies to provide equal opportunities for the pupils. The strategies consisted of a variety of common and individual solutions aimed at all pupils or specific groups of pupils, often with disabilities. Spatial, social and didactic aspects of inclusion and different understandings of inclusion were reflected in the schools’ organisation of the school meal.

Differences in Subject-Specific Competences between Slovenian and Italian Physical Education Teachers

This cross-sectional study was designed to analyse the differences between the subject-specific competenc- es of Slovenian and Italian physical education (PE) teachers. The participants, 669 Slovenian and 484 Italian PE teachers, evaluated their professional competences with a self-administered questionnaire on a four-level Likert scale. A t-test for independent samples indicates differences in the self-evaluations of the majority of sub- ject-specific competences between both groups. However, in almost all items, Slovenian PE teachers evaluate their competences higher. A multivariate analysis of variance, used to identify the role of some socio-demo- graphic factors (state, gender, years of service), shows that the state has the highest impact on the differences between self-efficiency of both groups (p<0.001, Eta2=0.531). The greatest differences (Cohen's d > 0.8) are observed on those competences that relate to some of the narrower aspects of PE didactics. The reasons for the perceived differences can be found in some historical and social events, length of education, the different orientation of PE teacher education programmes, and the different responses of both countries to educational policies. The present study outcomes may aid in updating initial PE teacher training and designing a creative system of continuous professional development.

Comparison of the Use of Verb in Love and Qalandari Lyrics of Sanayi

Verb is the most important element of a sentence. The way verbs are used in a work shows the author's concern to create layers of meaning and effective communication with the audience as well as psychological functions. Can a verb be divided into extroverted, introverted, and neutral the same as characters are? The findings of this descriptive-analytical article give a positive answer. Examining Sanayi's sonnets, it suggests that because Sanayi, in love sonnets, deals with erotic and earthly loves of the Ghaznavid period, he has an extroverted tendency and uses action, movement and extroverted verbs. However, Sanayi in his Qalandari lyric poems which express the mystical concepts and meanings with lyrical words, romantic and norm-breaking, shows meaning, freshness of the mood, the depth of his spiritual experience, and the multilayered nature of speech, by using introverted verbs. In this section, introverted verbs show concepts such as revelation, intuition, inner knowledge, and attention to inner and spiritual conditions. The difference in the way verbs are used in his sonnets shows that there was a logical relationship between Sanayi 's changing life/action and his renewing ideas. The high frequency of the use of the imperative and indicative verbs (to be, to know...) in Qalandariat, confirms the didactic aspect of literature.

E-Magazine Based on Augmented Reality Digestive as Digital Learning Media for Learning Interest

The obstacle faced in the learning process so far is the low interest in student learning. Many factors affect interest in learning, one of which is the lack of variety of teaching materials or learning media used by teachers in schools. The use of augmented reality (AR) in education is an important topic of research although its use is still in its infancy. The purpose of this research is to develop learning media, AR-based e-magazine to increase students' interest in learning high school students, on the material of the digestive system. The development of the e-magazine is carried out using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model. The parameters in this study are the quality of the e-magazine and interest in learning. Testing interest in learning is done using an interest questionnaire given to students for the control class consisting of 36 students and the experimental class consisting of 36 students. The results of the development of AR-based e-magazines are relatively good. This can be seen from the validation results with a very valid category. Based on the didactic aspect, a score of 3.82 was obtained in the very valid category, the constructive aspect was 3.85 in the very valid category and the technical aspect was 3.78 in the very valid category. The results showed that the use of AR-based e-magazines increased interest in learning. Interest in learning obtained a score of 0.342 in the high category. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of AR-based e-magazines as digital learning media can be used in the learning process.

Сoronavirus Zigzags of Electronic Distance Learning

The coronavirus pandemic in 2020, which has led to a massive and urgent transition to remote forms of learning, has drawn the attention of almost all of humanity to the issue of e-distance learning (EDL). The purpose of this article is to analyze the didactic aspects of the experience of using EDL methods and technological tools during a pandemic, to assess the potential positive and real negativity of this process, to develop recommendations on the rational use of modern virtual learning environments. The study is based on methods of systemic analysis, pedagogical psychology and didacticism, long-term experience of authors in the field of EDL.The analysis of two main didactic approaches in the modern EDL was carried out: classes in a virtual classroom, most of which copy traditional methods of classroom learning, and predominantly independent cognitive activities of students in learning management systems using specially trained digital educational resources. It has been shown that much of the negative aspects of EDL during the coronavirus pandemic are due to attempts to implement rudiments of the usual classroom learning system with the help of innovative electronic technologies.Recommendations have been made on the structure of the electronic distance course in modern learning management systems, which provide for the freedom to choose the time and place of study with them with the necessary regulation of the content and the learning process inherent in formal education institutions.A number of positive aspects of EDL related to its quality, ever-widening application boundaries, educational potential and economic feasibility have been considered. The importance of properly assessing possible negative aspects of EDL is shown. The reason for which is not in electronic tools, but in didacticly incorrect methods of training with them. To create new teaching methods focused on innovative electronic tools, we need research of psychological and didactic aspects of EDL in the areas of student motivation, digital educational resources development, gamification, teacher training, etc.

Model of formation of social competence of students in the process of studying the disciplines of the humanitarian cycle

The article analyses the course of implementing the competence approach in modern educational realities, social competence as an integrated complex of partial personality competencies is presented. The interdependence between the orientation of the world economy towards integration and globalization, the appeal to the European system of higher education, defined by the Bologna Process, and the reason for radical changes in the guidelines of the educational paradigm for the competence approach are traced. The didactic aspect of the process of studying humanities by students has been clarified. It has been established that the system of humanitarian disciplines can and should be aimed at developing the structural components of students’ social competencies, which are fully interactive and interdependent, as they have the properties of variability, interdependence, integrativity, social and personal significance. The introduction of the model of formation of social competence is described, which consists of four consistently interconnected blocks, namely: motivational-target, organizational-activity, technological and result-reflective. Each block corresponds to the functions, forms and methods and conditions of effective formation of social competence. The presented model of formation of social competence of students in the process of teaching disciplines of the humanities contains a system of dialectically interconnected elements: purpose, blocks, functions, structural and functional components, didactic conditions, forms, methods, approaches.
