INTRODUCING THE CARD EDITING APPLICATION OF THE LIMSTROM DIDACTIC GAME

Game-based learning plays an important role in all education and learning processes, including higher education nowadays. In the course, Mathematical Analysis, offered during the first semester, all students studying informatics learn about sequences of real numbers, convergence, and limits. These concepts are of key importance to understand advanced mathematical concepts and successfully complete advanced courses. Based on the benefits of game-based learning we came up with the idea of LimStorm that helps study groups of 4-10 students to learn and practice the limits of sequences of real numbers. In our paper we introduce a self-developed application which is suitable for generating decks of mathematical didactic card games, for example the deck of LimStorm. Keywords: game-based learning, didactic game, active learning methods, limit of the sequence, card games

Enchanting Pedagogy: Creating Labor Games in the Extractive University

Through ethnographic fieldwork as a Teaching Assistant (TA) at the University of California, Berkeley, I advance that pedagogical labor can be conceptualized as two labor games. In the didactic game, I utilize hierarchical lecturing to simplify complex concepts in the pursuit of student comprehension of material, while the experiential game centers nonhierarchical dialogue and students’ personal experiences to promote consciousness-raising. TAs’ ability to create and switch between games underpins my broader theorization of labor games as one of two types: institutional games – shared among workers in similar structural circumstances and persistent across worker entry and exit – and innovation games – created by individual workers with relative autonomy amidst an absence of worker co-presence. Just as institutional games provide a template for obscuring and securing the extraction of surplus value under monopoly capitalism, innovation games do the same for the increasingly flexible, autonomous capitalism of the twenty-first century.

THE ROLE OF MOTIVATION IN LEARNING ENGLISH FOR SPECIAL PURPOSE BY FUTURE DOCTORS

The article aims at analyzing the importance of mastering professional English in higher medical education institutions to form future doctors’ professional communicative competence. Motivational factor peculiarities for effective study of the course “English (for specific purposes)” in the conditions of blended learning have been clarified. Сoncept-terminology framework of research has been analyzed. The term “motivation” is interpreted as an incentive to activity, psychological quality and skills of personality to satisfy needs and implement goals through a system of actions. Considering the motivational sphere of higher education acquirer’s personality as a complex psychological entity and to identify its structural components (motives) the sociological research has been carried out. The first-year students of medical faculties at Bogomolets National Medical University have been involved. A special questionnaire has been developed and distributed to 150 students, 126 out of them have given comprehensive answers. Survey results have been statistically processed and discussed in focus-groups, one of which consisted of the first-year students, the other ‒ teachers of the Department of Language Studies. Tendencies and factors that prevent future doctors to acquire professional vocabulary effectively have been highlighted, among them: compacted course curriculum, insufficient initial level of a spoken foreign language, lack of developed skills and habits of self-study with educational material. Research results made it possible to analyze the interconnection, level and hierarchy of interaction between the motivational sphere components, changes of motivation during the training period, and point out the ways of increasing students’ motivation to learn English for professional purpose as well. Recommendations for teachers have been developed which are focused on strengthening feedback between teachers and students in conditions of blended learning, maintaining a friendly atmosphere in the classroom, designing motivation of success, applying innovative interactive technologies (didactic games, brainstorming) and tools (online platforms, social networks, other electronic services).

THE USE OF DIDACTIC GAMES IN BIOLOGY LESSONS

The article highlights one of the topical topics – the use of didactic games in biology lessons.
