FRESHMΕN PRE-SERVICE EARLY YEARS TEACHER-STUDENTS’ REFLECTIONS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MUSICAL ACTIVITIES TO 4-YEAR-OLD CHILDREN

This study explores the reflections of first-year university students (N=18) at a Department of Early Years Learning and Care in Greece on the implementation of music activities to 4-year-old children (N=16) of a nursery school in the Prefecture of Ioannina who visited the university classroom in the context of the course “Music Pedagogy”. The freshmen pre-service early years teacher-students prepared the musical activities with the trainer-researcher aiming to familiarization of the children with the concept of the musical ensemble/orchestra as well as with the means of musical expression (voice, rhythmic and melodic percussion instruments, body percussion). The pre-service early years teacher-students implemented the activities, taking on specific roles. To facilitate their reflections, they were given questions so as to record their thoughts and feelings during their engagement. The qualitative analysis of the teacher-students’ answers highlighted their positive view of being engaged with authentic teaching. In addition, they showed satisfaction with their teaching ability, felt that they confirmed their choice of future profession, revised some of their erroneous views regarding the perceptual abilities of young children, and identified the advantages of early years music education both from their current experience in the educational intervention and from the courses in the first year of their undergraduate studies concerning music education.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0772/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

SOCIAL-PROFESSIONAL ORIENTATION OF SCHOOLCHILDREN IN THE REPUBLICS OF SOUTH SIBERIA

The article considers the results of the sociological survey of 2023 concerning the choice of future profession among school-graduates of three Russian regions. The empirical base of the study was formed by the survey materials of the 9th and the 11th grade schoolchildren. The survey was carried out using the questionnaire method in the republics of Tyva, Altai and Khakassia (2522 people, multistage sampling). The analysis of the question concerning the influence of nationality on the social-professional orientations among school-graduates from the republics of Altai, Tuva and Khakassia did not show any significant differences. But there were differences caused by the peculiarities of the social environment and specifics of social-economic development in the mentioned republics. The choice of future profession is determined by the social environment, which differs in the three regions by its social-economic features in each other. The authors understand the concept «social-professional orientation» as the decision, as a social action that a school-graduate performs for achieving his or her goal – getting education and profession. The study of questionnaires responses indicates that the majority of the school-graduates connects the choice of their future profession with a primarily affective action, next with value-rational social action; in the third place – purposeful rational action, in the last – traditional action. Special attention is paid to the issue of choosing a region for a future place of work, which reveals the desire of schoolchildren: to stay to work in their region replenishing the human capital of their native republic, or to move to another region and organize labor activities there. We tried to find out whether social-professional orientations correspond to the real needs of the regional economy using a sociological survey among the graduates of the republican schools within three mentioned regions.

On the principles of building a model of a specialist – a graduate of a pedagogical university

Introduction. Assessing students’ progress and predicting their future careers is paramount for any educational institution. The issue is particularly important for a teacher training institution, given the staff shortage in Russian schools and vocational education and training colleges. The educational process plays an important role in a graduate’s choice of future path, and hence, the problem of assessing the quality of this process arises as well.An option of solving this problem is to create a feedback system in the university, which allows evaluating the dynamics of students’ competency formation levels in the monitoring mode.Aim. The current research aims to develop and implement a multifactor competency model of a graduate of a pedagogical university, which can act as the basis for creating a system to monitor the quality of the educational process. The model takes into account psychological and socio-demographic factors, as well as students’ decisions in the field of a professional career.Methodology and research methods. The approbation of the proposed model was carried out on the data obtained as a result of the survey of students of Tomsk State Pedagogical University in 2021. The data were processed by conventional and multivariate statistical methods: factor and cluster analyses. The sample consisted of 189 students of all training courses of the Physics and Mathematics Faculty at Tomsk State Pedagogical University.Results. The analysis of the data obtained by using methods of multivariate statistics allowed the authors to obtain a variety of relationships between the factors taken into account. In particular, a pattern between the values of psychological scales, the level of competency formation and orientation of students in their choice of future profession was found.Scientific novelty. The block structure of the model makes it possible to analyse each block separately and together, selecting factors from different spaces, introducing new blocks or spaces of factors, oriented to the (possibly new) purpose of the study, without changing the others.Practical significance. The reasonableness of the obtained results of the study, the availability of a variety of algorithms for data interpretation indicate the real possibility of using in practice the proposed structure of the model, including the way of organising data as a monitoring system.

Традиции и инновации в системе трехъязычного образования (социолингвистический аспект)

The article presents the results of a survey conducted in secondary general education schools with the state language of instruction. This work is a continuation of the ideas outlined in References under № 3, 4. In addition, this article opens up opportunities for further sociolinguistic research in the regions chosen as experimental bases. The authors of the article draw attention to the ambiguity of understanding of the term “trilingualism”, to the fact that the very content of this concept does not reflect the learning of English, that English learning is caused by the present time, that is, it acts as a requirement of time. The authors especially emphasize the dominant role of the Kazakh language as the state language, which is a key problem in the system of trilingual education. The authors also note that the issue of trilingual education is a multifaceted and multidimensional problem, and successful teaching of non-native languages is possible only if the student speaks his native language at a high level. In the article, the authors consider some key points of the questionnaire survey. The respondents’ choice of future profession and a certain language for deep learning is explained by the dominance of one or another life need. The latter, in turn, is determined by which of the values young Kazakhstani people currently prefer.

TECHNOLOGIES OF SOCIAL SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS IN US UNIVERSITIES

The article expands on the meaning of the concept of «social support» as a term that is often interpreted differently by social workers. The relevance of the study of social support of students arises due to the following factors: the diversification of problems typical for modern students; the increase in the number of students in need of social support; the presence of positive experience of social support for students in higher education institutions in the United States whose competent use in Ukrainian universities will contribute to the progress of the domestic education system. Scientific researches of social support as a direction of social work are analyzed. The problems of students include: the unavailability of higher education due to its high cost, which is also growing every year; socio-psychological adaptation of freshmen to new conditions of studying and living; the possibility of employment during training and after graduation; organization of leisure. The main sources of social support for students are identified: they are parents, teachers, classmates, friends and student social services. The student service of the institution can perform such types of work as recruitment of students or their transfer from other universities; assistance to students in creating thier individual study plan; consultancy; financial assistance to low-income students; provision of services to students with disabilities; assistance to students who have not yet decided on the choice of future profession or place of work; assistance to servicemen who are legally educated on preferential terms; assistance to those who are lagging behind in education; assistance to students who came to study in the United States from other countries; assistance to those who receive education mainly through the Internet; publication of diplomas and statements. Social support for students at US universities includes moral (emotional), financial (technical), academic (informational), service (professional), religious, and online support. The best option for a student is to form their own individual network of social support. In US universities, student social support is better developed as more support is provided and more specialized services and professionals are available. In addition, student services can use a wider range of resources, and therefore social support is longer in duration and better in quality.

THE INFLUENCE OF PERSONAL SELF-ESTEEM ON THE CHOICE OF PROFESSION AND ADAPTATION TO STUDY IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Transformational processes inherent in the economic and political life of Ukrainian society significantly affect the employment process of young people. Today, the main factor of social mobility of young people is the profession, because in a post-industrial society, where the development of advanced technologies leads to serious changes in the organization of work, graduates of higher education institutions need a high level of training and skills. As a result, the problem of career guidance work with young people becomes relevant and acute. Previous research has shown that only 10 % of high school students adequately assess their capabilities and are serious about choosing a future specialty. In most cases, the motives for choosing a profession were as follows: 25 % of students choose a profession on the advice of friends; 17 % on the advice of parents; 10 % of students choose a profession under the influence of the media; others are guided by interest in thecontent of labor The aim of the study is to determine the influence of social-psychological and personal factors on the process of professional adaptation of students majoring in “Social Work” and “Psychology” at the Faculty of Pedagogy, Psychology and Social Work of Yuriy Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University and prospects for further research. So, as we can see from the above results, the number of students with low adaptive abilities is close to the number of freshmen who answered that their choice of futureprofession was random. We were also able to partially confirm the hypothesis that individuals who have chosen a profession, guided by interest in the content of work and careful analysis of their capabilities, adapt much faster to the environment and learning conditions.

Prevalence and population genetic data of colour vision deficiency among students from selected tertiary institutions in Lagos State, Nigeria

BackgroundColour vision deficiency (CVD), also referred to as colour blindness, is the failure or decreased ability to distinguish between certain colours under normal lighting conditions. It is an X-linked genetic disorder with varying degrees of prevalence in different populations. There is presently no report on the prevalence of CVD among students of the selected tertiary institution. Hence, the present study was aimed at determining the occurrence and genetics of CVD among students from designated tertiary institutions in Lagos state. A cross-sectional survey was employed in recruiting 1191 study subjects from three tertiary institutions in Lagos, Nigeria.ResultsThe overall occurrence of CVD among the study participants was 2.85%. There were 24 (4.29%) males and 10 (1.58%) females affected. Among the colour vision deficient individuals, 18 (1.51%) and 16 (1.34%) were deuteranomalous and protanomalous, respectively. Also, the prevalence of CVD varies across ethnic groups of the studied subjects with the highest occurrences (3.57%) observed in the Yoruba ethnic subpopulation and the least (1.45%) among the Hausas.ConclusionsMore males than females were found to be colour vision deficient, and there were more deutans than protans. Early screening for CVD should be encouraged among school children to guide the choice of future profession and help mitigate work hazards resulting from being colour deficient.

ПСИХОЛОГО-ПЕДАГОГІЧНІ ДЕТЕРМІНАНТИ ПРОФОРІЄНТАЦІЇ В КОНТЕКСТІ ЗАВДАНЬ НОВОЇ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ШКОЛИ

Реализация средового подхода к профессиональному самоопределению российских школьников

The school should prepare a graduate who is able to successfully socialize and be in demand and competitive. That is why the problem of professional self-determination and choice of future profession by students is particularly acute.
 Training of professional personnel of the XXI century should be carried out in educational institutions with pre-professional training, which is the basis for obtaining quality professional education in the near future. A specially organized environment is needed for the pre-professional training of schoolchildren. That is why the authors turned to the problem of formation of the environment of professional self-determination in Russian schools. 
 The study described the environment of professional self-determination on the basis of early career guidance and pre-professional training of students, which included the following blocks: resources, activities, results.
 The results obtained in this study can be useful for creating an environment of professional self-determination, early career guidance and pre-professional training of students in educational institutions, which will ensure the emergence of a graduate of a «new type» – a young man with the ability to consciously choose a professional path in unity with professional mobility.

ІНТЕЛЕКТУАЛЬНА СИСТЕМА ДЛЯ ВИБОРУ МАЙБУТНЬОЇ ПРОФЕСІЇ

Finding a professional field in which a person is going to develop all his life is not easy, especially when a person does not have the tools to make accurate and informed choices. When we talk about professional orientation, we mean the psychological and pedagogical process, which aims to help choose a profession that corresponds to the skills and moods of man. On the other hand, orientation not only intends to look for a job, but also to know what motivates a person or who he would like to see himself in a few years. Professional discrimination is a process that creates controversy among young people, who often do not immediately get a higher education or decide to change careers due to lack of professional orientation. People are struck by the uncertainty about how to choose the right future profession: according to interests, according to employment opportunities, or according to the usefulness of this career. Another important factor is the future salary we will earn. Our vocation and our abilities are also factors to consider, as they will ultimately motivate us to continue our studies. To make the best decision about choosing a future career, a professional test will be the most useful tool with which a person can determine their capabilities. As modern technologies are increasingly used to analyze data around the world, it is an expected task to translate testing from a general cohort of psychological techniques into the digital world. For best results, it was decided to solve this problem using an artificial neural network. Scientists who have studied and continue to study neural networks believe that they are an almost indispensable tool in the work of analysts, because they allow you to work with both qualitative and quantitative characteristics. The main function of the developed system is to advise students and entrants on the choice of future profession, as well as to provide information in a form convenient for analyzing the results of career guidance work.

Preduzetništvo u turizmu kao izbor profesionalnog usmerenja mladih

As a kind of hallmark of social progress, youth entrepreneurship is represented as a field of study at all levels of formal education in the EU countries. While this trend is insufficiently present in Serbia, it is of great importance to identify the factors that influence the attitudes of high school students and university students in the choice of future profession. Although young people, generally, have positive perceptions on entrepreneurship, a small number of them start their own businesses. As the greatest obstacle in the realization of entrepreneurial ideas, they recognize the unfavourable social environment, i.e. above all, the financial requirements in the initial stages of doing business, high tax levies, legislation, as well as the lack of institutional support. Research results presented in this paper indicate the possible reasons for such respondents' attitudes, as well as the fact that young people have most trust in their families and friends, and least trust in state institutions and banks.
