Experimental Efficiency Study of Project Technology as a Means of Formation Foreign Language Competence of Future Electric Power Engineers

The paper covers the ways of building foreign language competence of students majoring in electrical engineering in the process of their vocational training. The purpose of the article is the practical substantiation of the process of forming the future energy engineers’ foreign languagecompetence by means of project technology and carrying out diagnostic measures to check its effectiveness in foreign language learning. The methods used in this research are theoretical (analysis, comparison, systematization, generalization), empirical research methods (observations, surveys, pedagogical experiment), and statistical (non-parametric Pearson's criterion.). The results. The efficiency of project technology in the indicated process has been substantiated. A number of factors that determine the choice of such a learning technology has been specified, namely they are the following: student-oriented approach, foreign language learner autonomy, building project-oriented skills in specialty metalanguage, relationship between project work as a form of performing educational assignments and types of engineering activity. Author’s definition of project technology has been provided. By this notion a system of active and practical methods of learner-centered education aimed at programmed organization of students’ project activity, creation of educational projects that involve developing skills of independent knowledge acquisition, their practical handling, development of critical and creative thinking and key competences, is meant. The efficiency of project technology in the educational process has been experimentally verified by the example of developing foreign-language competence of students doing Master’s degree in electrical engineering. In order to determine the efficiency of project technology in the process of foreign language teaching to students in the master’s programme compared to traditional teaching methods, control groups and experimental groups with such attributes as reproductive properties, constructability and creativity were formed. Foreign language competence forming according to motivational, communication, professional, projecting and performance indicators was implemented in the process of executing profession-oriented projects. In order to assess the results of future power engineers’ project work, 100-point scale was developed. Conclusions. According to the results of the performed project work, it was determined that the level of foreign language competence in the experimental groups was higher than the one in the control groups. Generalized maturity indices of motivational, communication, professional, projecting and performance components in the control groups and in the experimental groups differed significantly. Group inhomogeneity and the significant differences were confirmed with the help of statistical non-parametric Pearson’s test χ². The obtained results of the pedagogical experiment have proved the efficiency of the suggested project technology and its rationale for implementing in the process of future electric power engineers’ foreign language teaching.

Modern textiles and innovations in the training of future specialists in the sphere of decorative and applied arts

The article presents some aspects of teaching and training future specialists in the sphere of decorative and applied arts alongside some issues devoted to the development of their opinion that modern artistic textiles are innovative means of decorative and applied arts and play a significant role in the development of creative competence of textile artists. The need to rethink the history of textiles in Ukraine and analyse the problems of its current artistic and industrial state, especially in the Southern regions, has been grounded. It has been proved that the role of artistic textiles, together with carpet weaving and batik, in the socio-cultural and economic development of Ukraine’s artistic space remains relevant today. Special attention is given to the genetic basis for using Ukrainian textiles (the spiritual component of the ornamental carpet) through the symbolism of which representatives of all segments of the population tried to identify with Ukraine, this basis being an integral component in the development process of the professional competence of future specialists in the sphere of decorative and applied arts. It has been substantiated that one cannot forget the ancient traditions of textile art; it is necessary to revive them in original modern forms, to promote the development of experimental tendencies, to work creatively with textiles while teaching the course "Decorative and Applied Arts", to show how promising it is in its artistic and cultural essence, to provide an analysis of the exhibition activity as a guarantee for the development of creative search, a stimulator to the creative activity of a future specialist in decorative and applied arts. The purpose of the article is to identify the interrelations and interactions of folk and professional art; to outline the role of profession-centred art education in the development of artistic textiles in Ukraine; to analyse experimental tendencies and concepts of Ukraine’s modern professional textiles. The conclusions state that the language and style of the Ukrainian textile art has always depended on traditions and national sources, as well as on the latest trends in Western European Art. The analysis of the existing methodological approaches to teaching future specialists in decorative and applied arts, aimed at searching for new methods of improving the quality of education, and developing their professional competence enables us to assess the idea of innovative learning, teaching and assessment in a new way. An important condition for successful training of future professionals in the sphere of decorative and applied arts is the development of their creative competence, which includes the ability to emotionally perceive the environment, to creatively transform it, the awareness of the culture of peoples and nations in different periods of society development, to master universal human values, including creative values, providing creative self-realisation and self-development.

Kompetencja kreatywna młodzieży w perspektywie zrównoważonego rozwoju

This article deals with creative competence as an integral component of competences for sustainable development. Previous research in this area became the subject of interest of Polish researchers who carried out a research project in southern Poland. The aim of the research was to explore and describe the level of creative competence among Polish adolescents. The survey method was used to achieve the assumed goals and answer the emerging research questions. The tool was a questionnaire developed for the purposes of the survey with 60 sentences determining the level of six key competences for sustainable development, including creative competence. The study involved 877 grade 7 and 8 primary school pupils and grade 1 to 4 secondary school pupils, i.e. those meeting the criterion of adolescence, in accordance with the adopted convenient selection of the research sample. The lowest creativity rates were achieved by females studying in schools in small towns, while the highest by males studying in schools in small towns. Pupils from rural areas showed a higher level of creativity than those from urban areas, just as males scored higher than females. It was recognised that the teaching process should abandon gender-based perception of pupils in traditional socio-cultural roles. In addition, the use of teaching strategies conducive to the development of creativity in pupils should be reinforced. For this purpose, the teacher training system should be modified so that it includes the development of creative potential.

ПРОБЛЕМА ПРОФЕСІЙНОГО САМОВДОСКОНАЛЕННЯ МАЙБУТНІХ ВИХОВАТЕЛІВ ЗАКЛАДІВ ДОШКІЛЬНОЇ ОСВІТИ В СУЧАСНІЙ ТЕОРІЇ

Modern trends in society, new requirements for vocational education demand a fundamentally new approach in the training of professional and pedagogical staff for different levels of education in Ukraine. One of the main tasks of higher pedagogical educational institutions is the modernization of the system of pedagogical education by introducing rational approaches to the implementation of productive technologies in the training of future educators of preschool educational institutions on the basis of creativity. The urgency of the educational trend is due to the fact that modern society needs a unique, bright, creative individual, who personally determines the priorities of its development, strives for continuous self-improvement, selfdevelopment and professional activity, is able to produce new ideas, make nonstandard decisions in difficult situations. The training of such a specialist in preschool education requires the introduction of new pedagogical technologies into the educational process, which will contribute to the formation of a competent teachereducator. The processes of change that occur at the present stage of development of society are aimed at implementing the humanistic paradigm of the educational environment and are based on a personalized approach. In the current conditions there is a need to train highly qualified specialists who must optimally solve professional problems in the modern educational space, to quickly adapt to change. The level of professional self-improvement of the future generation is largely determined by professionalism, creative competence, professional thinking of the teacher and his psychological readiness for pedagogical creativity. Today, preschool institutions need teachers (educators) with experience in selfimprovement and self-development of professional skills in the organization of personality-oriented educational process. The problem of general and specific in the training of future teachers by means of the organization of professional self-education acquires special significance for the qualitative renewal of the system of professional training of educators. Therefore, in the modern system of higher education, the issue of professional training and self-improvement of students – future educators of preschool children – to pedagogical activities is important.

The limits of political influence – the limits of creativity: the first 25 years of FAMU

This study deals with the Czechoslovak film school FAMU from its inception until the 1960s. Several specific issues from the history of the institution are selected. The study examines to what extent the establishment of the school was influenced by the Communist Party (which strongly influenced Czechoslovak cultural policy from 1945 before seising monopolistic political power in February 1948) and if the Soviet VGIK was really a model for FAMU, as is sometimes maintained. The second area of interest is the production practice of student films, which the author uses to illustrate the institutional, as well as broader social and political changes in the school during the first 25 years of its existence. Emphasis is placed on topics such as students’ creative freedom (including their occasionally dissenting approaches), formal versus real competencies in the initiation of a film project, approval mechanisms and possible circumvention of the given rules, etc. The study works with those student films that were officially distributed in Czechoslovakia at the time. It is based on original archival and oral history research combined with secondary sources, including commemorative audio-visual works. The study’s methodological approach is rooted in the history of film institutions, production studies, and the political history of film.

DEVELOPING INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCES AND CREATIVITY: THE FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESSFUL INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION

Although various aspects of intercultural communication have been examined in the works of various authors, there is still a lack of more in-depth research to analyse effective intercultural interaction in the context of combining intercultural competences and creativity competences. A number of works on intercultural communication identify only the barriers to effective communication and provide ways to overcome them; they insufficiently focus on the importance of competence development, in particular the role of creativity in ensuring effective intercultural communication. Meanwhile, the role of creativity as a process of generating new ideas and solving problems in intercultural communication is undeniable. There is no doubt that in order to ensure effective intercultural communication, it is necessary to combine intercultural competences with creativity competences. The object of this study is the development of intercultural competencies and creativity competencies in the context of intercultural interaction. The aim of this article is to examine the development of intercultural competencies and creativity as a basis for successful intercultural communication. Through the works of various scholars, the article describes the aspects of intercultural competences and creativity competence development in the context of intercultural interaction, and emphasises the importance of combining these competencies in order to achieve effective intercultural communication. The following methods are applied in the work: analysis and synthesis of scientific literature.

DEVELOPING THE CREATIVITY ABILITIES OF FUTURE VOCATIONAL TEACHERS

Learning everyday technologies through playful experimenting and cooperative making in pre-primary education

The Finnish National Core Curriculum for pre-primary education (FNBE, 2014) emphasizes the promotion of children’s interests in science and technology, as well as in creative designing and making. The integrative STEAM approach is seen as promising for fostering students’ creative competencies starting from early education stages. In pre-primary education, the STEAM framework has received little research interest; the empirical evidence of its implementation is especially limited. The objective of this present study is to explore pre-primary students’ designing and making processes involving both traditional and digital craft elements, and how their learning of everyday technologies can be supported. The data consists of video recorded sessions, where pre-primary students (n=19, aged 5–6 years) were creating felted “Power Creatures” with soft circuits. The results indicate that with adult and peer student cooperation, pre-primary students are able to create original creatures and use digital elements as a part of their craft product. Playing is endorsed as a learning method to support pre-primary education in both tangible and abstract elements of technology

Possibility Implementation Analysis of the Smart Grid Network in a Current State Conditions of the United Energy Systems of Ukraine

The paper analyzes the current state of the energy system of Ukraine and the efficiency of generation and transmission of electricity. The analysis of the best world practices shows that the active development of modern technologies of energy accounting allows: to bring to a fundamentally new level the quality of data collection and analysis of consumers’ energy consumption; increases the efficiency of operational management of energy assets; promotes the active involvement of energy consumers in the processes of regulating their own energy consumption. Ukraine's energy system has been in operation for quite a long time, and it is difficult for it to withstand the load of modern times. The high level of wear of the main and auxiliary equipment of the power system and the uneven distribution of load in the network often lead to emergencies and power outages to consumers. Undoubtedly, increasing the efficiency of electricitygeneration and supply is an important and urgent task for Ukraine's energy sector. One of the modern and innovative concepts that can significantly affect the quality of electricity transmission is Smart Grid technology. This technology and its capabilities are not new. But the problems that accompany the widespread introduction of Smart Grid in the energy market of Ukraine do not have an unambiguous and effective solution. In this regard, this paper proposes to consider and discuss several scenarios for the implementation of Smart Grid in Ukraine, with an overview of their advantages and disadvantages. In particular, this is a scenario of monitoring and point-by-point implementation of certain Smart Grid technologies; scenario of development of existing and creation of new competencies in the field of Smart Grid; scenario of development and re-implementation of a comprehensive national program of innovative development of electric power on the basis of the Smart Grid concept. The ways of mathematical formulation of the Smart Grid optimization problem using the Data Science approach based on the machine learning system and neural networks are determined separately. These include Big Data processing methods, Data Mining, statistical methods, artificial intelligence methods, and Machine Learning. Data Science includes methods of designing and developing databases and application software. The main practical purpose of the scientist's work is to extract useful information for business from large arrays of information, identify patterns, develop and test hypotheses by modeling and developing new software, and therefore are necessary and sufficient conditions for theoretical justification of practical implementation of Smart Grid in Ukraine.

FASHION INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS’ VIEWPOINTS ON CREATIVITY AT WORK

The article investigates the attitude of fashion industry managers towards creativity competence and its application in the fashion retail industry. The semi-structured interviews with middle managers allowed distinguishing three categories of activities. In the fashion retail industry, managers need creativity competence: performing technical assignments, working with clients, and working with staff members. For this research, middle managers were chosen because they are the mediators between the company’s general managers and the sales-men. Middle managers play an essential role in bringing organization’s culture, organizing sales-men’s work, and personal development. Therefore, creativity is crucial for managers to have in mind, as the fashion industry is fast changing and dynamic. Creativity competence is effective in a team only if there is proper communication of a manager who can assure all team members understand the organization’s primary purposes and values. The research revealed that managers apply various methods for promoting creativity that includes verbal interactions: discussions, delegating responsibility or tasks, sales promotion games, accumulation and systemization of information, sharing within social networks, provision of feedback, and encouragement of independent search for solutions. This study’s results can help develop job descriptions that would attract the right employees to fashion sales. Understanding the importance of creativity in a salesperson’s day-to-day work can help look at technical or repetitive work differently, increase sales staff’s motivation, and improve sales results.

Dancers’ Perceptual Skills: An ethnographic, cognitive and phenomenological study

The extensive use of devising techniques in contemporary choreography stimulates the interest of dance practitioners in the performer’s perceptual skills. They are considered crucial for developing new creative strategies. In the article, we analyse Fighting Monkey (FM) – a training method developed by Jozef Frucek and Linda Kapetanea – as technique that is explicitly focused on the development of perception through physical training. We developed the research from three parallel conceptual frameworks. In the first (auto)ethnographic perspective, researchers’ and participants’ practice, as well as written reports from FM workshops, worked as a tool for pointing out particular exercises and assessing their impact on the dancer’s performance. Conclusions derived were then used as primary premises for the analysis in the second, cognitive, perspective. Its use was justified by existing studies on the impact of motor training on cognitive functions and models of research-based practice (Hansen 2018). Based on both sources, a study of selected perceptual abilities was designed and conducted with the participation of dance students randomly assigned to two training groups: FM, and Contemporary Dance technique designed to resemble standard curriculum. After 20-hours of practice, participants showed persisting, improved results in cognitive tests. The FM group showed an increased correctness of the response in the first-person (egocentric) mental body rotation task, which may indicate a better kinesthetic representation of the body (Kaltner, Riecke, Jansen, 2014). A detailed discussion was then performed with the use of the third, phenomenological, perspective that allowed isolation of particular differences in training that were the reasons for differences between the groups. At the same time, phenomenology was utilized as a methodological medium between the third-person research and the first-person experience. As such, it was used to formulate research conclusions in the discussion, covering the relationship between the training techniques, improvement of perceptual functions and the understanding of creative competences of dancers and choreographers.

Обучение способам работы с текстом в контексте дистанционного образования

The article discusses the process of teaching reading skills and the development of communicative competencies in the context of distance education. Distance education stimulates the development of the students’ value orientation, determines the direction of personality development training, opens up new opportunities for progress, exchange the education and training, promotion the successful intercultural communication. The interactive capacity of distance learning lies in providing an intensive process of communication with remote communication partners based on the text. Provided that communication means the exchange of information in a foreign language, then the transmission of text messages is the most meaningful form of information transfer. The idea that the perception of text messages in remote communication is an adequate form of information transfer is substantiated. The role of intellectual activity and production is increasing in the modern context of higher education globalization. The main value is the information itself and the ability to apply it. Distance learning occupies an important place in the process of specialists’ professional development. The author characterizes the reading skill both from the learning speed of implementation standpoint, and the standpoint focused on achieving and understanding the linguistic representation. The process of communicative competence creation, based on the skills of reading in the context of distance learning special features’ development is discussed.

Organizational change for sustainability education: a case study of one university’s efforts to create and implement institution-wide sustainability competencies

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine how the process of creating and implementing sustainability competencies across a university illuminate dynamics of organizational change. The push to advance education for sustainable development in higher education will likely require transformation of existing policies and practices. A set of shared sustainability competencies could guide the integration of sustainability throughout an institution. Design/methodology/approach This paper reports on a case study of one US university, the University of New Hampshire (UNH) that developed institutional-level sustainability competencies. The process used to create and implement sustainability competencies is outlined, and key factors that influenced the associated organizational change are identified. Findings Very few US universities have institutional-level sustainability competencies. At UNH, drivers of organizational change such as overcoming disciplinary boundaries, developing a common vision and working from the bottom-up enabled the creation of institutional sustainability competencies, but the same processes were not enough to drive deeper implementation of the competencies. Originality/value This paper not only identifies the context-specific drivers of the development of institutional sustainability competencies, but also identifies universal themes that can be applied to other institutions embarking on a similar process. Additionally, this paper serves as a foundation for future research exploring how the process of creating institutional sustainability competencies may be linked to how effective they are in shaping subsequent sustainability education.
