USE OF DISTANCE LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES IN THE MODERN EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Distance learning is currently a common practice in the organization of the educational process. For this, various software products tested during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020-2021 and martial law in Ukraine in 2022 are used. At the same time, studies of the use of modern distance technologies in the educational process are devoted to conceptual aspects of the organization of education or are based on various software products. All of the above requires the definition of effective remote technologies for solving various tasks of educational activities in domestic higher educational institutions. The purpose of the work is to study the software products used in the educational process of Vasyl’ Stus Donetsk National University, from the point of view of optimization of scientific and educational activities. The article summarizes the practice of using IT technologies at Vasyl’ Stus Donetsk National University since its relocation in 2014. This made it possible to determine the advantages and disadvantages of modern use for the organization of the educational process, joint activities, including scientific and educational, platform Moodle, IT services Microsoft Office-365, as well as highlight the most popular services in the academic space. It is noted that Google services today are a strong competitor to Microsoft’s IT services, in particular, due to their quality, variety and free of charge. It was established that the availability of practical skills for working in Google Classroom among students requires mastery of this tool for teachers of higher educational institutions in order to make a further decision regarding the effectiveness of solving educational tasks. According to the results of the research, the necessity of combining various IT services, as well as constant training of the participants of the educational process in the skills of their use, was established. The direction of further research is the problem of developing training courses using various distance learning IT services.

The boundaries between personal life and professional role: a proposal to apply some principles of the Structural Family Therapy by Salvador Minuchin to teachers

ABSTRACT The aim of the present study was to apply some principles of the Structural Family Therapy by Salvador Minuchin to teachers. Specifically, we considered the teacher as a system consisting of two communicating subsystems – one pertaining to personal characteristics and skills, and one pertaining to characteristics and skills related to the professional role – and we explored the boundaries between personal life and professional role, proposing the existence of three types of boundaries that are in line with the original classification by Minuchin: rigid, diffuse, and clear. Moreover, through a semi-structured interview, we conducted an initial empirical investigation about the perception and the representation of the boundaries between personal life and professional role in a sample of 9 kindergarten, primary, and middle school teachers (M professional experience = 16.33 years, SD = 9.60 years). The emerged results, even if limited in number, encouraged the development of further dimensional assessment strategies, as well as the development of training courses on teachers’ emotional and relational competence in which they can reflect on the importance of clear boundaries that allow an adaptive exchange of information between personal and professional areas.

PEDAGOGICAL FORMATION OF STUDENTS' COGNITIVE ACTIVITY IN AN ADAPTIVE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

In modern education, the independent work of students is a necessary and important part of the educational process. Because it not only helps to consolidate the knowledge and skills acquired in practical courses but also contributes to the strengthening of cognitive activity. As a rule, one of the platforms for organizing independent work of students is an adaptive learning environment. The purpose of the study was to develop and implement a training course on the organization of independent work of students in an adaptive educational environment to increase the level of their cognitive activity. Research hypothesis: the level of cognitive activity of students increases when organizing independent work in an adaptive educational environment. By the purpose and hypothesis, the authors defined the objectives of the study: theoretical analysis of scientific literature, the study of the formation of cognitive activity of students, the study of the concepts of «pedagogical conditions» and «adaptive educational environment», diagnosis of the level of formation of cognitive activity of students; prepare students for independent work on the Moodle platform; analyze the results of the study. The proposed course included personalized adaptive learning. Second-year students of the specialty «Information Systems» of Aktobe Higher Polytechnic College in the course of mastering the subject «Mathematics» carry out training in this course. The statistics obtained indicate that the application of the developed training course in an adaptive personalized educational environment has a positive effect on increasing the level of cognitive activity of students. The data obtained by the authors can be used by teachers of other educational institutions in the process of forming the cognitive sphere of students.

The data was collected from 137 members of the community enterprises in Thailand. The research instrument was a need assessment questionnaire on the actual situation and expected situation towards skills of facilitator for community enterprises. The statistics used to analyze the data included mean (X ̅), standard deviation (SD) and Priority Needs Index Modified (PNIModified). It is suggested that the results of this study should be applied in the development of training courses to enhance the ability of facilitator of community enterprises. The findings present new knowledge on facilitator techniques, which community enterprise members can use to develop an economic system of the community self-sufficiency.

A qualitative study on the experiences and strategies used by French professional negotiators to detect deception

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the views of practicing negotiators on their experiences of deception and their strategies for detecting deceptive behavior. A thematic analysis of interview data complements the existing experimental literature on deception and negotiation. The authors compare the experiences of practicing negotiators with the results found in experimental studies and provide practical recommendations for negotiators and managers regarding the detection of deception.Design/methodology/approachData was collected from 19 practicing commercial negotiators in France by way of semi-structured interviews. The transcribed data was analyzed by way of thematic analysis using the software NVivo 12. Experiences and behaviors identified in the negotiation literature as key factors for the detection of deception acted as a coding framework.FindingsA thematic analysis of the data revealed four themes related to the experience of deception that negotiators perceived as particularly important: the frequency, form, interpretation and consequences of deception. Further, the analysis revealed four factors that negotiators believed influenced their ability to detect deceptive communication: physical cues, such as body language and micro-expressions, and verbal cues, including contradictions and inconsistencies, emotional cues and environmental cues. Finally, the strategies described by negotiators to detect deception could be classified according to six themes: careful listening, asking questions, emotional intelligence, intuition, checking consistency and requesting evidence.Research limitations/implicationsThis study elicited the views of commercial negotiators without collecting information from their negotiation counterparts. Hence, it was not possible to verify whether the reported detection of deceptive communication was accurate. Because of optimism bias, the participants in the sample were likely to overrate their ability to detect deception. In part, this was helpful because the negotiators spoke freely about their strategies for dealing with deceptive counterparts allowing the identification of techniques to improve the efficacy of detecting deceptive communication.Practical implicationsParticipants overwhelmingly expressed that there is a lack of training on deception in negotiation. It is suggested that the results of this study inform the development of training courses on the detection of deception. In particular, it is recommended that training courses should cover the following topics: how to anticipate and avoid deceptive behavior; how to effectively respond to deceptive behavior; the role of emotional intelligence in detecting deceptive behavior; careful listening and asking questions; and the role of intuition in detecting deception.Originality/valuePrior empirical studies on the detection of deception have not specifically investigated the range of self-reported strategies used by practicing negotiators to detect deceptive communication. This study addresses this gap. This study complements existing experimental works by widening the spectrum of potential variables that play a role in the effective detection of deceptive communication.

Information-sharing experiences of professionals looking after children with cancer: a qualitative exploration from a specialist paediatric oncology unit in India

BackgroundChildhood cancer often involves a long-term engagement of children and their parents with health services. During this journey, communications between professionals, parents and young people can be stressful for all the stakeholders. This study explores the communication preferences in paediatric oncology.ObjectivesThe objective of the present exploratory qualitative study was to understand the views of professionals regarding information exchange during cancer treatment of children and complement these findings with clinic-based ethnographic observation of real-life consultations.MethodsUsing qualitative methods, in-depth interviews were conducted with paediatric oncology professionals. The interviews had been audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Alongside in-depth interviews, real-life interactions between parents, professionals and children were observed. Data were analysed using a thematic analysis framework as suggested by Braun and Clark.ResultsPaediatric oncology professionals (n = 14) were interviewed from diverse professional backgrounds that included consultant paediatric oncologists, junior specialist trainees in paediatric oncology, paediatric oncology nurses, social workers, survivor counsellor and psychologists looking after children with cancer. Additionally, clinic-based ethnographic observations (n = 10) of interactions between professionals, parents and young people were also conducted. The following themes emerged from the interviews: a) Information needs of children were very different from adolescents. Children were more worried about ‘here and now’; b) adolescents were, on the other hand, mostly worried about the ‘impact of cancer on their broader life, friendships and academics’; c) parents were curious about the outcome, costs and effectiveness of treatment, and different patterns emerged for mothers and fathers; d) information needs were dynamic and different at the start of the treatment, during treatment, at remission or end of life; e) the journey of the clinicians themselves impacted information-sharing practices; and f) direct observation of consultations highlighted the importance of priming parents before delivery of information, having multiple family members during the conversation and managing intense emotions expressed during the session.ConclusionPaediatric oncology professionals need to be sensitive about the dynamic nature of information needs while interacting with children and parents of children with cancer. The above findings may help tailor the discussions that professionals ought to have with families with a child with cancer. The results may contribute to the understanding as well as to developing training courses on communications in paediatric oncology for low- and middle-income countries.

Автоматизований переклад та його «постмашинне» редагування

The article examines the peculiarities of text editing, in cases the translation is performed by using one of the automated translation systems. The relevance of the study is justified by the widespread use of automated translation programs, on the one hand, and the insufficient quality of machine translations, on the other. The introduction of automated systems into the practice of translation allows the analysis of machine translation texts to be included in the range of research tasks. In the applied aspect, there is a need to develop training courses that highlight the issue of machine translation. The purpose of the article is to define the nature of the tasks facing the editor of machine translation, and to develop general approaches to text editing. The task of the study is to analyze the journalistic text, to identify the nature of errors in the machine translation of phrases and sentences of the analyzed text, and to select methods for editing specific translation units. The objectives of the study also include the identification of typical errors of machine translation, followed by the definition of the post-editing algorithm, as well as the formulation of recommendations for machine translation editing. The study examined examples of machine translation, or rather examples of losses in translation from British English. It has been established that the most typical mistake in the translation of set phrases or set expressions is a word for word translation. The greatest difficulty for a machine translator is the translation of metaphorical expressions and phrases containing realities. At the same time, the degree of difficulty in translating a metaphor can be different. It was noted that post-editing is a mandatory element of working with the texts of machine translation. In automated translation, the machine acts as a supporter of word for word translation, and a human editor as a supporter of free translation. Post-editing of machine translation includes the ability to see logical errors and inconsistencies, the ability to select matches, to offer a descriptive translation, and, if necessary, to add a comment. During the analysis of automated translation, a certain dependence of the error rate on the characteristics of language units, namely, on the nature of lexical bindings, was revealed. In the course of the study, such correlations were established as typical characteristics of the text and the nature of automated translation errors; the nature of machine translation units and the degree of difficulty in editing. In general, it was concluded that the degree of participation of the translator or the linguist in editing the machine translation depends on the typical characteristics of the text.

Курсы "История христианского искусства" Д. В. Айналова и А. М. Миронова в Казанском Императорском университете

The article discusses the courses on the “History of Christian art” taught by Dmitry V. Aynalov and Alexey M. Mironov from 1893 to 1917 at the Kazan Imperial University. Practical interest for the modern educational process is the concept of course programs, the actual material and methodology of its presentation, methods of interpretation of sources. The article claims that Mironov and Aynalov independently developed training courses on the “History of Christian art”. Originality of the concept of am Mironov's idea is that during the course he addressed new topics for that time: the history of Western European miniatures and Christian mosaics, decorative and applied art, and Gothic. The article proposes to implement a project to reissue the course of Mironov. The project will help introduce a little-known part of the scientist's didactic heritage into scientific circulation, which is of interest not only for historians of science and education, but also for cultural, religious and art historians. The publication of the courses will help to correct the existing stereotypes in historiography in relation to different scales and the degree of recognition in the academic community of Russian art historians - Dmitry V. Aynalov and Alexey M. Mironov.

Emotions in our lives: the evaluation of a user-centered training course »living e-Motions« in the context of recovery of people with mental health challenges

PurposeThis paper aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a training course »Living e-Motions« for people living with mental health challenges in the context of their recovery. The course was developed in the joint project of partners from Spain, Estonia, Slovenia and the UK. The curriculum of the course is focused on emotional education. It uses a narrative approach as a practical way for participants to explore and regulate their emotions and consequently take charge of their recovery.Design/methodology/approachSeventeen participants were included in the pilot training in Spain and Estonia. Impact of the training was assessed on measures of life satisfaction, emotion regulation, positive and negative affect and recovery at baseline and directly after training.FindingsThe analysis revealed that participants reported higher life satisfaction, emotion regulation skills, positive affect and recovery after the training. However, because of the small sample size, the mean differences did not reach statistical significance. Further studies on larger samples are needed to test the effectiveness of the training course.Practical implicationsPilot study findings are encouraging and show that the developed training course has a potential for improving key competencies and abilities needed in daily life, concretely in emotion regulation, positive and negative affect, life satisfaction and recovery.Originality/valueThis paper presents a novel training course that uses a narrative approach and focuses on recovery and improvement of key competencies and abilities of individuals with mental health issues.

Levels of tests of Russian as a foreign language in terms of school age characteristics

The current paper discusses possibilities for school students to successfully pass TORFL-I/B1, TORFL-II/B2 and TORFL-III/C1. The relevance of this article is determined by the fact that despite Russian as a foreign (second) language has been taught within the framework of the TORFL system for more than two decades, there is a shortage of methodological material aimed at preparing school students for TORFL. In addition, the issue of choosing the level of testing in accordance with the level of Russian language proficiency and taking into account age specifics is not sufficiently covered in Russian academic literature. The aim of this paper is to define age reference marks for school students who plan to pass TORFL. The materials to review and analyse were the works of Russian and foreign researchers in the field of foreign (second) language proficiency, language development of children and adolescents, assessment of school students communicative competence, language assessment, and correlation of these data with the requirements for completing tasks of the TORFL-I/B1, TORFL-II/B2, TORFL-III/C1 Writing subtests selected as an example. The paper has resulted in providing recommendations on the choice of examination level for senior and junior school students, within the framework of TORFL-I/B1, TORFL-II/B2, TORFL-III/C1, which can also be used in the development of training courses in Russian as a foreign language for schools. The authors concluded that there is need to develop a new methodological area in testing of Russian as a foreign language system capable to provide guidelines and recommendations for preparing school students for examinations, and designing TORFL training courses and teaching materials according to the school students age.

Prehospital Care: An International Comparison of Independently Developed Training Courses

ObjectivePrehospital and retrieval medicine (PHRM) occurs in a complex work environment. Appropriate training is essential to ensure high standards of clinical care and logistic decision making. Before commencing the role, PHRM doctors have varying levels of experience. This narrative review article aims to describe and compare 6 internationally accepted PHRM courses. MethodsSix PHRM course directors were asked to describe their course in terms of education methods used, course content, and assessment processes. Each of the directors contributed to the discussion process. ResultsAlthough developed independently, all 6 courses use a comparable combination of lectures, simulations, and discussion groups. The amount of each pedagogical modality varies between the courses. ConclusionWe have identified significant similarities and some important differences among some well-accepted independently developed PHRM courses worldwide. Differences in content and the methods of delivery appear linked to the background of participants and service case mix. The authors believe that even in the small niche of PHRM, courses need to be tailored to the participants and the “destination of the participants” (ie, where they are going to use their skills).

Identifying the carers’ profiles of health literacy, eHealth literacy and caregiving concepts

Abstract Background Carers of people with dementia (PwD) undertake the role of supporting their relatives in everyday life and caring tasks, sometimes without adequate knowledge of the progression of the disease, practical advice and support mechanisms or services. This study aims to describe the Health Literacy (HL) and eHealth Literacy (eHL) profiles of carers of PwD in Greece and Cyprus and to explore associations with dimensions influenced by the delivery of care. Methods This descriptive correlational design study measured HL (HLS-EU-Q16 tool), eHL (eHeals-Carer) and dimensions of care (Brief-COPE, caregiving self-efficacy, COPE index and Multidimensional Perceived Social Support). In total, 174 primary carers of PwD and 67 secondary carers participated in a face-to-face survey. Correlation and regression analysis were performed to explore associations between the concepts of interest and cluster analysis (N = 123) to identify profiles of carers. Results Carers, primary and secondary, reported high scores of eHL and HL. HL scores were associated with eHL and both variables with the two dimensions of caregiving self-efficacy: “obtain respite” and “behavior management”. Three carers' profiles were identified: 1) carers with high levels of HL, eHL, Self-Efficacy and low coping strategies, 2) carers with problematic coping, negative caregiving perceptions, and lower HL and eHL, and 3) carers with high HL and eHL, with strong Social Network, high emotional-focused coping strategies and low problematic coping. Conclusions Understanding the role of HL and eHL in the caregiving process and identifying carers' profiles could assist healthcare professionals in their educational role with families and planning of care. There is a need to develop more ways to assess these concepts for this population and to develop training courses focusing on enhancing the HL skills of carers and healthcare professionals. The COST action NET4AGE-friendly supported the conference participation. Key messages HL and eHL are related to the caregiving role and may not only influence health-related decisions made by the carers on behalf of their relatives but also their own self-efficacy and coping. HL and eHL should be appropriately assessed and taken into consideration by healthcare professionals in management plans for PwD and their families.

Advancing leadership in medical radiation sciences: Incorporating systematic leadership education in pre-registration curricula

Развивающий потенциал технологий визуализации в гибридном обучении студентов

Research problem. The problem of the pedagogical technologies effectiveness for students’ distance learning has grown more acute in the extreme period of the world pandemic lockdowns. The analysis of the training quality and students’ estimations showed a decrease in the significance of vocational and oriented texts; weak association between educational material and the reality of the profession; vagueness of visual representation of study objects; misunderstanding of the processes studied; reluctance to read the texts of methodological materials; misunderstanding of presentation graphics; rapid fatigue and reduced concentration of attention in monologue lectures. The research focuses on the experience of using the developing potential of imaging technologies in hybrid training. Research aim: To analyze the experience of implementing various modern technologies for visualizing the content of vocational and oriented educational disciplines in hybrid university tuition; to identify and experimentally test the positive effects of the influence of visualization technologies in hybrid tuition. Research methods: Theoretical methods – the analysis of the developing potential of pedagogical technologies for visualizing objects and processes in domestic and foreign universities. Experimental methods included: case visualization; Flickr-illustration of presentations; static and dynamic animation; video and qualimetric analysis. Empirical methods included; statistical analysis of the students’ questionnaire results; learning products and the results of academic achievements. The study involved 103 students on 2-3 undergraduate courses. Conclusions and recommendations. The research provides conclusions about the significant developing potential of pedagogical technologies of visualization in the educational process of the university. The analysis of the educational results demonstrated the demand for visualization technologies. Most assessments of academic achievements and the students’ own predictions were above average. Case visualization as a variant of visualization technology provides a realistic presentation of real-life situations. Flickr-illustration of presentations is based on advanced Internet skills. The cooperative presentations by several students ensured the development of teamwork in a geographically distributed remote format. The animated images and dynamism of the objects revived lectures; reduced the fatigue; and the monotony of teachers’ and students’ distance meetings. This method contributed to the concentration of attention and the development of students’ professional intuition. It provides the ability to repeat and watch video recordings of laboratory at a convenient time for detailed monitoring of the process under study. Thus, visualization technologies in the modern digital version improve the quality of professional education both in full-time and in a distance format of training in the universities. Application: In the development of training courses on MOODLE platforms as well as other digital higher education educational environments.

Discovering Known Biodiversity: Digital accessible knowledge — Getting the community involved

Plazi is a non-profit organization focused on the liberation of data from taxonomic publications. As one of Plazi’s goals of promoting the accessibility of taxonomic data, our team has developed different ways of getting the outside community involved. The Plazi community on GitHub encourages the scientific community and other contributors to post GGI-related (Golden Gate Imagine document editor) questions, requirements, ideas, and/or suggestions, including bug reports and feature requests. One can contact us via this GitHub community by creating either an Issue (to report problems on our data or related systems) or a Discussion (to post questions, ideas, or suggestions). We use Github's built-in label system to actively curate the content posted in this repository in order to facilitate further interaction, including filtering and searching before creating new entries. In the plazi/community repository, there is a Q&A (question & answer) section with selected questions and answers that might help solving the encountered problems. Aiming at increasing external participation in the task of liberating taxonomic data, we are developing training courses with independent learning modules that can be combined in different ways to target different audiences (e.g., undergraduates, researchers, developers) in various formats. This material will include text, print-screens, slides, screencasts, and, eventually to a minor extent, online teaching. Each topic within a module will have one or more ‘inline tests', which will be HTML form-based with hard-coded answers to directly assess progress regarding the subject being covered in that particular topic. At the end of each module, we will have a capstone (form-based test asking questions about the topics covered in the respective module) which the user can access whenever needed. As examples of our independent learning modules we can cite Modules I, II and III and their respective topics. Module I (Biodiversity Taxonomy Basis) includes introductory topics (e.g., Topic I — Why do we classify living things; Topic II — Linnaean binomial; Topic III — How is taxonomic information displayed in the literature) aimed at those who don't have a biology/taxonomy background. Module II (The Plazi way) topics (Topic I — Plazi mission; Topic II — Taxomic treatments; Topic III — FAIR taxonomic treatments) are designed in a way that course takers can learn about Plazi processes. Module III (The Golden Gate Imagine) includes topics (Topic I — Introduction to GGI; Topic II — Other User Interface-based alternatives to annotate documents) about the document editor for marking up documents in XML. Other modules include subjects such as individual extractions, material and treatment citations, data quality control, and others. On completion of a module, the user will be awarded a certificate. The combination of these certificates will grant badges that will translate into server permissions that will allow the user to upload new liberated taxonomic treatments and edit treatments already in the system, for instance. Taxonomic treaments are any piece of information about a given taxon concept that involves, includes, or results from an interpretation of the concept of that given taxon. Additionally, Plazi TreatmentBank APIs (Application Programming Interface) are currently being expanded and redesigned and the documentation for these long-waited endpoints will be displayed, for the first time, in this talk.
