Conducting Training Sessions Research Articles

Discussion-provocation as a method of improving the educational process

The article describes the methodology of conducting training sessions in the discussion-provocation form as one of the methods of improving speech and thinking skills while teaching Russian as a foreign language in the classroom at an advanced training level and proves its effectiveness in mastering communication skills. It is shown that conducting training sessions in the discussion-provocation form helps to develop speech production skills among foreign students, to unleash creativity and logical thinking, making them to pass and process the information of the suggested basic text through “I-position” the prism. It enriches foreign students with elements of personally marked evaluation, thereby realizing the cognitive, communicative and educational tasks of the learning process. The advantages of authentic texts as an initial base for the speech skills development are described, as far as they reflect the real needs and emotional students’ mood through their approach to the surrounding reality and the interests of a particular individual, orient his thoughts to a given attitude. Discussion-provocation, being a non-standard form of classes helps to form an abstract and scientific world view among foreign students.

Possibilities of Messengers for Conducting Training Sessions and Student Consultations

Pharmacists engage with community on opioids.

The Ho-Chunk Nation in rural Baraboo, Wisconsin, has made naloxone access a cornerstone of the tribe’s response to the opioid epidemic, with an assist from Pharmacy Manager Abigail Moore. Moore works at the House of Wellness, which is part of the Ho-Chunk Nation’s Medical Services Division within the Department of Health. She travels the area to conduct training sessions in the use of naloxone and, through a standing order, dispenses the reversal agent to attendees. “We’re lucky to have a very supportive administration that’s been working to address this challenge. And I don’t think many other rural communities have that,” Moore said. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that naloxone is less accessible in rural communities than in most other areas of the United States. According to CDC, pharmacies in rural counties filled an average of 147.4 naloxone prescriptions per 100,000 population in 2018, compared with 206.3 prescriptions per 100,000 in larger “micropolitan” areas.

In the article the certain aspects of designing the computer environment of research work of students of engineering and pedagogical specialties of a computer profile are considered, the computer environment is analyzed as an object of designing. The contradictions between the typical system of training a future specialist and the individual and creative nature of future activities are revealed. The concept “computer environment” was studied, the analysis of literary sources was conducted, on the basis of which it was discovered that the issues of organization of teaching and research activities of students of engineering and pedagogical specialties of a computer profile by means of a computer environment require further research. The use of the knowledge representation model in the process of designing a computer environment is substantiated, the intellectual properties of the computer environment are considered, as a reaction to certain actions by the user. It is proved that when designing a computer environment, the network model of representation of knowledge in the form of a graph that reflects the meaning of a holistic image is most optimal for use. When using a network model, the course structure is represented by a set of modules that are divided into themes, and those, in turn, are assigned to tasks. Such an organization allows combining the entire study process into a single trajectory, which is adjusted depending on the student’s progress in mastering the material. The informational, programmatic and didactic components of the computer environment are substantiated, the basic requirements, which are presented to the computer environment of research work of students of engineering and pedagogical specialties of the computer profile as the object of design, are revealed. Discovered, that one of the main requirements for the design of a computer environment is the flexibility of the management system and the ability to implement complex structures conducting training sessions. An example of software implementation of the computer environment is described, which includes an intuitive interface for working with the information array and allows you to navigate the space of concepts.

Which Love Language do You Speak With Your Child? What Are the Effects of your Age, Level of Education, Work Status, and the Number of Children in the Family on the Used Love Languages?

The purpose of the current study was to identify which languages of love that the mother used with her child. In addition, it examined the effect of mother’s age, level of education, work status, and the number of children in the family on the extent of the mother’s use of love languages. The study sample consisted of 729 mothers from the study population. The researchers used a questionnaire instrument that consisted of 105 items that were groups into five dimensions that represent the five love languages proposed by Gary Chapman, (1992). The researchers adopted and adjusted five love languages questionnaire to make it appropriate to be used in the Arab world. The questionnaire instrument was presented to panel of experts to check its validity. Appropriate statistical analysis methods were performed on participants’ responses to the questionnaire. The findings showed that the most common type of love language that the mothers used to speak with their children was “acts of service”, while the least common type of love language that the mothers used to speak with their children was “words of affirmation”. In addition, the results showed that there were no significant differences in the extent of the mother’s use of love languages based on mother’s age, level of education, work status, and the number of children in the family. Based on the findings, the study provided some recommendations that were related to the important guidance roles of the institutions, centers and associations that concerned with the childhood sector and the parental relationship. These institutions, centers and associations should conduct training sessions and seminars that aim to discuss the nature of the relationship between mothers and their children. They should publish more training manuals and records that discuss the concept of love between the mother and her child and improve parents understanding of the love relationship between the mother and her child. Another important recommendation was related to the need to conduct more research studies to understand the relationship between the mother and her child.

Number Of Sprints Performed By Players Of Different Playing Positions During A Soccer Match

Soccer is a sport characterized by intermittent efforts and by a variation of intensity between the first and the second half-times of the match. The sprints, actions performed at high speeds and which demand a high energy expenditure, are among the several parameters which can be used to evaluate the performance capacity of the players along a match. PURPOSE: To compare the sprints performed by professional players of different playing positions along Soccer matches. METHODS: Twenty-two professional Soccer players (weight = 76.4 ± 5.2 kg; height = 179.9 ± 6.2 cm; BMI = 23.7 ± 1.7 kg/m2) participated in the study. The Polar Team Pro® GPS system was used to measure distances and speed of the subjects during the games. The number of sprints at speed above 25 km/h were registered in the first and in the second halves of the matches. Only players who participated during 75% of the total time of each of 10 matches were included in the study. Data normality was tested using the Shapiro-Wilk (p = .714). The Friedman test followed by the post-hoc Tukey were used to analyse the sprints (p < .05). RESULTS: The average number of sprints (>25 km/h) was 13.3 ± 6.4 sprints per game. There was a difference amongst playing positions (Expected P = .039 and Calculated P = .042) and there was a difference between the second half and the total match time. The number of sprints of mid-fielders and forwards, but not of full-backs and half-backs, was reduced in the second half-time. CONCLUSIONS: There was a difference in the number of sprints between players of different positions and also a difference between the first and the second half-times. This information may be used by coaches in conducting training sessions and in matches.

ФОРМУВАННЯ ЦІННІСНИХ ОРІЄНТАЦІЙ ЯК ОСНОВИ СОЦІАЛЬНОЇ АКТИВНОСТІ УЧНІВ

The article deals with the formation of value orientations as the basis of social activity of pupils of the 4 – 6 th grades because of the introduction of the Valuable Landmarks program into the educational process. The emphasis is on the importance, for this age period, of social value orientation. The detailed description of the given program with the indication of goals, tasks and specifics of teaching is given. The principles of conducting training sessions are singled out and grounded. The effectiveness of implementing the social value program “Valuable Landmarks” on the formation of the pupils’ value orientations in students is proved.Classes for students on the formation of social skills are integrated into the training cycle, whose idea is to increase social activity based on the value-purpose position. During the training, the student opens a variety of his life roles and builds his world of values. This program includes games and exercises that form a positive self-awareness, teach you to appreciate your and someone else’s personality and work in a team, that is, those qualities of a socially active person who can solve multistage tasks.In the subject of trainings, a line is traced, from awareness and value adoption of oneself, values of the world to the value consciousness of ourselves in society. Therefore, the main part of the training is reflection training, a gradual, ever-deepening awareness of oneself, which is the basis of success. Then, time is spent developing social skills, tactics for effective interaction with the environment, taking into account the information and experience received. The following is a skill development in solving their own problems.Consequently, the research carried out and proved the effectiveness of introducing into the educational process of the social program “Valuable Landmarks” on the formation of value orientations of students as the basis of social activity. It has been experimentally confirmed that the system of training sessions, aimed at developing and educating vital personal and social values, is capable of acting as one of the most effective tools in the socialization of pupils.

THE USE OF NETWORK MODELING IN THE STUDY OF SELF-ORGANIZATION ACTIVITIES OF GRADUATE STUDENTS

The article is devoted to the problem of self-organization of activity and psychological factors of success of educational activities of graduate students. The concept of “self-organization”, actively discussed in Russian science, does not have an exact equivalent in English-language publications. From the point of view of proceduralism, self-organization is an independent step-by-step construction by a person of the structure of his features, motives and ideals. Self-organization has two aspects: the construction of an “I-image” or self-esteem — an internal aspect, and the organization of one’s activity or its success — an external aspect. In the works of S.N. Kostromina, S.I. Rozum, N.A. Loginova, as well as in our previous works, showed that the integrity of the structure of personal qualities (“I-image”) determines the success of an activity. At the same time, the structure of personality traits changes in the process of performing activities (abilities are formed, self-esteem changes, etc.). This study is devoted to the external aspect of self-organization, which we call “self-organization of activity”, and its relationship with personality traits. The purpose of the study is to describe the model of self-organization of graduate students. The task of the study was to build a network model of the relationship between the characteristics of students' activities and their personality traits and values. The graph method or the network modeling method was used as a tool. The sample consisted of 44 graduate students (mean age 20.6 ± 2.6 years, m-19, f-25). At the first stage a correlation analysis of the relationship between the characteristics of the activity and the personality traits of the subjects was carried out. At the second stage a model of self-organization of students ' activities was built with the help of the program Gephi 0.9.2. As a result, it was found that such characteristics of activity as flexibility (correction), purposefulness (goal setting), planning and self-control are most deeply integrated into the structure of personality traits. Personality features are manifested in these characteristics of activity, forming complexes of features or stable combinations around them. In this case, the connecting link of the entire model is such features as risk avoidance, sociability and self-control of behavior. The ability to plan and self-monitor the implementation of activities, developed in this group of subjects, is aimed at achieving such value as recognition of the success of the people around them. Orientation to the creative approach is manifested in the adjustment of the activity, but it prevents the adequate analysis of the conditions of the activity. In addition, the identified complexes of features are associated with a particular area of the individual. When planning activities, subjects are guided by relations with the closest environment, while in self-control of activities they based on high demands and their own prudence. Flexibility of activity is connected with domination in society and adaptation to new situations, while goal-setting - with self-confidence. In conclusion we must say that the described model of self-organization of activities ensures the successful implementation of students ' learning activities. It is proposed to conduct training sessions with students in order to form additional motivational attitudes of students' activities and the development of qualities necessary for the organization of activities.

MONITORING OF THE CURRENT STATUS OF STUDENTS AS A MEANS OF INCREASING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Introduction. The increasing amount of knowledge, skills and competencies to be mastered inevitably lead to the need for more intensive classroom and independent studies. Providing favourable psychological background and ensuring active working condition of a student are the most important factors for increasing the effectiveness of the educational process (EEP). This fact has special relevance in the organisation of the educational process for students with physical disabilities, foreign students, as well as students, who receive education under individual educational trajectories.The aimof the present research was to analyse the possibilities and prospects for increasing the EEP through continuous monitoring and control of the current functional and psycho-emotional state (FPES) of students directly in the process of conducting training sessions.Methodology and research methods. The research was based on: a systematic approach to the accumulation, systematization and analysis of individual biometric information that allows a reliable assessment and forecast of changes in the current FPES of students; implementation of the principle of biofeedback (BF) and passive remote non-contact measurements of current human biological parameters that exclude any impact on it. Information technologies were used for digital signal processing in the optical and acoustic spectra of natural human radiation.Results and scientific novelty. The work substantiates an integrated approach to planning, organising and conducting training sessions, as well as control measures, which allow increasing the EEP by taking into account the individual characteristics and capabilities of students using modern digital information technologies to monitor their current FPES. It is shown that the system parameters characterising heart rate variability (HRV) can be used to assess the level of psycho-physiological adaptation of students to the learning process in general, as well as their responses to the complexity of training and control activities. Systemic parameters include the vegetative equilibrium index (VBI), the vegetative index of rhythm (VPR), the indicator of the adequacy of regulatory processes (PAID) and the stress index of regulatory systems (IN). The parameter IN is highlighted as the most informative. The possibility of using the results of the analysis of the change dynamics in the parameter IN for the evaluation of the current FPES of trainees is demonstrated. The possibility and expediency of using embedded monitoring systems has been experimentally confirmed. The bio-mouse and biometric chair are identified as universal means of monitoring the current FPES of students both in the educational institution and at home (in a hostel environment).Practical significance. The developed methodical and technical means are of interest to a wide range of educational workers, including such levels as primary, basic and secondary general education, secondary professional and higher education, as well as special professional training and retraining.

La publicidad como vendedora de sueños. Una reflexión desde la ética / Advertising as a seller of dreams. A reflection from ethics

La publicidad ya no sólo vende productos, vende mucho más. Vende sueños, valores, modelos de vida y, en definitiva, un universo simbólico asociado a ese producto o servicio anunciado. Lo cierto es que esa venta de cuestiones ‘inmateriales’ provoca una serie de efectos en los consumidores, que muchas veces no ven satisfechos su expectativa tras adquirir el producto o servicio en cuestión. Esto da lugar a una reflexión ética, ya que, ese universo simbólico que promete la publicidad no es reclamable judicialmente ni de ningún otro modo, ya que es una promesa implícita y difícilmente comprobable. Es por esto que en este artículo pretendemos hacer una reflexión sobre esta cuestión y hacer un repaso por los mecanismos a través de los cuáles la publicidad vende esos sueños y modelos de vida. Para ello, haremos una revisión teórica con las reflexiones y pensamientos de distintos autores expertos en publicidad, ética y comunicación.

An evaluation of the intravenous to oral antimicrobial conversion program in the inpatient setting

AbstractThe Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP) team at the National University Hospital (NUH) Singapore has compiled intravenous to oral (IV‐to‐PO) antibiotics conversion guidelines and conducted training sessions with pharmacists on IV‐to‐PO conversion. The primary aim of this study was to assess compliance with IV‐to‐PO guidelines, pre‐ and post‐implementation of training, and to evaluate the acceptance rate and timeliness of pharmacist interventions for IV‐to‐PO antibiotic conversion. A chart‐review study for two cohorts of patients newly prescribed IV clindamycin or metronidazole was conducted over two 6‐week periods following training sessions detailing hospital recommendations for converting suitable patients to oral therapy. Cases were reviewed to compare IV‐to‐PO interventions by the end of 7 days and review the effectiveness of training and timeliness of any pharmacist intervention. There was no difference in proportion of patients suitable, but not converted to oral therapy by the end of 1 week (41/125 vs 30/115, p = 0.255) following the training session. There was also no significant difference in documented IV‐to‐PO antibiotic intervention rates (3/41 vs 5/30, p = 0.18) by pharmacists. Few pharmacists are actively intervening to convert patients from IV‐to‐PO antibiotics. Training was ineffective in improving intervention rates. These results show that the ASP team needs to come up with better strategies to ensure timely interventions for IV‐to‐PO antibiotic conversion.
