Polyparadigmatic approach in teaching philological disciplines in higher education

This article is devoted to the generalization of theoretical and practical experience in the use of pedagogical technologies in the educational process of the Humanitarian Pedagogical Academy (branch) of the Federal State Educational Institution of Higher Education "V.I. Vernadsky KFU" in Yalta during the 2020-2021, 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 academic years. The study involved 15 teachers and 81 full-time students of the Department of Foreign Philology and Teaching Methods. The subject of research is scientific works on the development of the modern pedagogical paradigm and the search for effective innovative educational technologies in higher education. This article outlines the main provisions that indicate that modern education recognizes the synthesis of various paradigms in the educational space of the beginning of the XXI century. The special significance lies in the fact that the methodological principle of polyparadigmality does not deny various pedagogical systems and indicates the natural changeability of educational paradigms. The polyparadigmatic nature of modern education does not act as a counterbalance to a specific scientific and pedagogical paradigm, but reflects modern educational practice that meets the needs of modern society. The novelty of the proposed study lies in the fact that the polyparadigm approach previously remained on the margin of pedagogical research.

Innovative technologies of physical and mathematical education implemented by using of fractal approach

The involvement of students of related specialties from two universities – University of Presov (Faculty of Humanities and Natural Sciences) and Uzhhorod National University (Faculty of Physics) – demonstrates the feasibility of using the fractal approach in training future teachers and scientists of natural sciences in higher educational institutions.

Exploring undergraduate clinical students’ perspectives on interprofessional education

Interprofessional Education (IPE) has been advocated to prepare future healthcare professionals for collaborative practice to improve the quality of patient care and overall health outcomes. The problem statement revolves around the need to bridge the gap between the traditional, silos education of healthcare disciplines and the demands of a modern healthcare ecosystem. Insufficient IPE can result in fragmented patient care, communication breakdowns and suboptimal outcomes. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the perceptions of undergraduate clinical students from Malaysian higher institutions about Interprofessional Education (IPE). This study was conducted among undergraduate final-year students of clinical programs, including nursing, Medical, Nursing, Pharmacy and Health Sciences programs in selected private and public Malaysian higher institutions. The quantitative data was analysed via descriptive statistics using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Overall, the study received 288 responses from four public institutions and 3 private institutions. About 94.4% (272) of respondents claimed perceived needs for IPE. Most students agreed that patient care and critical patient care in general wards and community chronic patient care should be included in the content of IPE. More than 80% of the respondents agreed collaboration and teamwork, mutual understanding for other disciplines/professionals, conflict control and effective communication are the essential skills to be learned by IPE. The three most wanted IPE learning methods are lecture and discussion, clinical rotation, and role-playing. This study revealed differences in needs and perceptions regarding IPE between programs. This finding warrants further research to design appropriate IPE program goals and strategies that suit specific students' needs.

STEM teachers’ beliefs about the relevance and use of evidence-based information in practice: a case study using thematic analysis

The term evidence-based practice has gained importance in teacher education as well as in everyday school life. Calls from policymakers, academics, and society have become increasingly apparent that teachers’ professional actions should not exclusively be based on subjective experiential knowledge but also on empirical evidence from research studies. However, the use of evidence comes along with several challenges for teachers such as often lacking applicability of available sources or limited time resources. This case study explores how teachers (n = 12) at secondary schools think about the relevance and usage of evidence-based information in practice as well as the barriers associated with it. As we see a particular need for evidence-based teaching in STEM disciplines, we focus on these subjects. A thematic analysis of the data indicates that the teachers generally rate relevance highly, for instance seeing opportunities for support and guidance. However, the actual use of evidence-based information in the classroom is rather low. The teachers most frequently mentioned the feasibility of implementation in class as a quality indicator of evidence-based information. Based on the data, we discuss possible conclusions to promote evidence-based practice at schools. Furthermore, the study opens up directions for further research studies with representative teacher samples in various disciplines.

The manifesto in Martin Scorsese's auteur films

Relevance. In the period from 1917 to the early 1960s, there was a paradigm of �classic Hollywood�, in which films were produced according to the dominant aesthetic, genre and narrative formulas, the characters represented themselves as specific typical images with understandable motivations for the general public. Martin Scorsese is a representative of cinematography, who changed classical views of film art. That is why the study of Martin Scorsese's work remains relevant for researchers in the field of cinematography and culture to the present day.Purpose. The purpose of this work is to study the creativity of director, screenwriter and actor Martin Scorsese, as well as to identify the author's style in the artist's work, determine his author's handwriting and manner.Methodology. The methodology of this research is based on theoretical methods of scientific knowledge, in particular, the method of information analysis and synthesis, the cultural method, as well as historical and comparative methods were used.Results.

The results of the research can be used by students of directing specialties and teachers of special disciplines to study the creativity of the director, screenwriter and actor Martin Scorsese during theoretical practical classes.

DESIGN THINKING FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DESIGN THINKING TECHNIQUE TO ENHANCE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS FOR STUDENTS OF ENGLISH AND TEACHERS OF VARIOUS ACADEMIC FIELDS

Design thinking is a dynamic approach and mindset employed to explore innovative and creative solutions to a wide range of challenges. At its core, design thinking places significant emphasis on the individual, their emotions and needs. Professionals who embrace design thinking actively seek out issues that impact people and offer appropriate solutions that will benefit users. Consequently, design thinking is an ongoing and iterative process, continuously researching and enhancing a product or service to the user’s satisfaction. This study aims to compare how English language and culture in specialized communication students and university teachers of various academic disciplines at the University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava and the Faculty of Materials Science and Technology at Trnava, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Slovakia, perceive the application of design thinking in the educational process. Two workshops were conducted to explore the application of design thinking in American literature seminars, with a total of 45 students who took part in the survey. The third workshop focused on enhancing intercultural awareness through online seminars and searching for the most appropriate methods of teaching intercultural communication in the online space. The workshop had a total of 25 students, with 21 participating in the research. A pilot workshop for teachers was organized in May 2023 within the project titled “Support of internal systems for ensuring the quality of higher education at the University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius in Trnava, Slovakia”, with 25 university teachers participating (21 of whom took part in the survey). The research results indicate that both students and teachers perceive design thinking as a suitable method for the current educational process. Students identified presentation skills as their biggest challenge, whereas teachers did not face significant issues in this area due to their profession. Conversely, teachers expressed difficulties with digital skills, which were less prevalent among the students. Design thinking offers numerous benefits to students by creating a supportive learning environment. Additionally, for teachers, this method can become a part of their lifelong learning, as innovation relies on their motivation and efforts to teach traditional content differently.

Tissue science and histology in the system of biomedical scientific and educational disciplines

In this article, the authors analyze the role and significance of histology in biomedical scientific and educational disciplines (history, present condition, and controversial issues). This study discusses the formation and development of histology—the science of tissues—and the emergence of notions about tissues and tissue classification. When describing the microscopic structure of plant organs in 1671, the English botanist and physician N. Grew (1641–1712) used the term “tissue” for the first time. In the mid-19th century, German histologists R.A. Kölliker (1817–1905) and F. Leydig (1821–1908) established the present scientific classification of tissues. These authors classified tissues into four main groups: epithelium, connective tissue and blood, nervous tissue, and muscle tissue. Russian scientists A.A. Zavarzin and N.G. Khlopin made significant contributions to developing tissue classification and evolution problems. It is worth noting that the term “tissue,” which was initially interpreted as purely morphological, has gained physiological content; that is, the idea of “tissue” has become a morphofunctional concept. The idea of tissue stability during the ontogenesis stages of organisms is one of the significant paradigms of histology. Fabric variability is allowed within certain limits within the tissue group to which the fabric belongs. There is no compelling evidence of tissue transition from one tissue group to another. The first histology departments appeared in European higher educational institutions in the middle of the 19th century and Russian higher educational institutions in the late 1960s. As a scientific discipline, histology has not exhausted its capabilities; therefore, excluding histology from the nomenclature of scientific specialization is incorrect.

Hidden figures: Women’s experiences in management graduate courses in Brazil

This study examines the sexism practiced in the academic environments of Management graduate schools in Brazil. We investigate how sexist practices manifested in the intersectionality of gender, race, and class affect female researchers’ training in Management graduate schools. Universities are spaces where students learn to be scholars and receive education and training in various disciplines. Based on oral history interviews conducted with six Brazilian graduate students in Management studies, we show from an intersectional perspective how sexism is practiced in this field. Our contribution lies in initiating a broader and more open debate about sexism to enable members of graduate institutions to acknowledge and help mitigate sexist practices observed in Management researchers’ training processes. We concluded that understanding how sexism takes place in the Management field leads to reflections capable of promoting transformations in management education, research practices, and the society.

THE CHALLENGES OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION IN REMOTE EDUCATION

The objective of this work is to highlight the challenges faced by Physical Education in remote teaching. This discipline is fundamental for the formation of critical individuals, capable of developing their motor and psychomotor skills, and inter acting with the world a round them. However, in the context of remote teaching, Physical Education faces new obstacles that hinder its eff ectiveness. To emphasize the importance of Physical Education in the teaching-learning process in times of remote teaching, qualitative bibliographical research was carried out that highlighted the benefi ts of this discipline of teaching. In this sense, the importance of Physical Education and the inclusion of cross-cutting themes for building a society based on mutual respect, without any kind of distinction or discrimination, is highlighted. In view of this, it is necessary for society to strive to minimize and solve the challenges imposed by Physical Education in remote teaching, in order to guarantee that this discipline continues to contribute to the formation of critical and refl ective individuals, capable of developing the motor skills and psychomotor skills, even in virtual contexts. In short, this work points out the challenges faced by Physical Education in remote teaching and highlights the importance of including cross-cutting themes for the construction of amorous and egalitarian society.

The Subject of Queer Community in Teenage Books: Ukrainian Discourse

<p><strong><em>The purpose of the study</em></strong><em> is to find out the specifics of the perception of the LGBTQ(IA+) community in books for Ukrainian adolescents.</em><em></em></p><p><strong><em>Research methodology. </em></strong><em>A survey was used to identify the respondents’ opinions on the topic. A number of assumptions were made. In particular: 1) such literature will be more interesting to young people; 2) respondents will believe that this topic should be presented in teenage literature because the world in general and Ukrainian society in particular are multifaceted and diverse, so it is normal to hear all voices; 3) realistic prose and genre publications will compete for readers’ attention; 4) such books will be in demand if they are primarily about an interesting story. Accordingly, our task was to verify these assumptions. Based on this, we created a questionnaire of 7 questions: 2 open-ended questions and 5 with possible answers (+ «other» option). The «Teenage Books on an Important Topic» survey was conducted on November 10–13, 2023, using the snowball method with the help of Google Forms. A total of 145 respondents were interviewed. To process the information received, the following methods of generalization and analysis of information were used: systematization, grouping, qualitative (text analysis, classification) and quantitative (digital data) methods of data interpretation. The results are presented as a detailed verbal description. </em><em></em></p><p><strong><em>Results.</em></strong><em> It was found that the vast majority of respondents are young people living in large cities. 96.6% of respondents believe that the topic of the LGBTQ(IA+) community <strong>should be</strong> represented (including a balanced representation) in Ukrainian teen literature. 3.4% of respondents believe that it <strong>should not be</strong> represented. According to the key messages, the following groups can be distinguished from the category «<strong>should be</strong> represented» because it: 1: 1) promotes awareness of adolescents about the topic of the queer community, overcoming prejudice and stigma; 2) helps to understand that the orientation of people who are part of the queer community is a variant of the norm, and it is the norm that should be accepted by all members of society; 3) promotes the development of a culture of tolerance, gender equality, self-awareness, and self-acceptance by any member of society; 4) promotes cultural identification and representation of adolescents belonging to the queer community; 5) makes it clear that literature should cover all aspects of life; 6) is a reality for many adolescents; 7) because the niche needs to be filled. The arguments that the topic «<strong>should not be</strong> represented» include personal rejection; stereotypical understanding of the «usefulness of literature/art»; misunderstanding of the role of cultural identification; and the traditional accusation of the threat to the institution of the «traditional» family.</em><em></em></p><p><em>Only 55 respondents were able to name certain works from this segment by 27 foreign and 8 Ukrainian authors, and there is no distinction between books by age categories.

Updating the content of the special physical training of cadets of higher education institutions with specific training conditions during martial law

It has been established that the official activity of police officers places increased demands on the level of special physical fitness of personnel. It has been established that a graduate of a higher education institution with specific learning conditions must possess not only a complex of knowledge, practical skills and abilities, but also a formed motivation and psychological readiness for the proper performance of official tasks in extreme situations caused by the introduction of martial law.
 On the basis of a survey of inspectors on self-defense tactics and personal safety of training centers of the State Government of Ukraine (n=27), gaps in the physical fitness of law enforcement officers with up to one year of practical experience were determined, directions for improving the content of special physical training for cadets of higher education institutions with specific training conditions were considered during martial law, the role of general physical fitness of law enforcement officers is outlined. The need to develop a single thematic content of the educational discipline for all institutions of higher education that train police officers has been established; the introduction of practical tasks into the educational process, which involve modeling situations of official activity with the complex application of police coercive measures. Emphasis is placed on strengthening the role of general physical training through the cadet's performance of various physical exercises while in full equipment.
 We see prospects for further research in the development of a set of exercises that will contribute to the development of professional and applied physical qualities of law enforcement officers.

Helping students see eye to eye: Diversifying teaching of sensation and perception in higher education

ABSTRACT There is current interest in diversifying teaching curricula across many disciplines in university teaching. Sensation and perception is often considered difficult to diversify. Current challenges include diversity of the topics and teaching tools/materials, and the diversity that characterizes both the student and the teacher populations. We start by describing the diversity present in student and teacher groups, with a UK focus, and discuss how inclusive and diverse teaching materials can impact participation and engagement of broad student groups. We next consider how teaching content can be broadened by teaching on topics that consider differences between participant groups with different characteristics (including gender, ethnicity, disability and culture). Finally, we suggest resources that can be used to diversify sensation and perception teaching. We include example topics where diversity features in perception research, aimed at engaging teachers and students in the process of diversifying the teaching of sensation and perception.

DEVELOPMENT OF A METHOD FOR COMBINING DATA IN ORDER TO PREVENT DUPLICATION OF RECORDS IN THE DATABASE OF THE INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF METHODOLOGICAL COMPETENCE OF TEACHERS OF IT DISCIPLINES

The article assesses the outcomes of digitization on higher education in Kazakhstan. Given current trends, there is a need to establish a dedicated focus on the ongoing professional growth of educators. A crucial measure in this regard involves shifting from disjointed learning approaches to implementing a cohesive system for the continuous professional development of teaching staff. It is crucial to highlight that in accordance with the Development Concept of Higher Education and Science in the Republic of Kazakhstan the duration of an individual's active economic engagement has extended from 35-40 years to 50-60 years. This shift underscores the growing necessity for continuous learning throughout one's life and underscores the significance of non-formal education. The educator plays a pivotal role in influencing the educational landscape and significantly contributes to the outcomes of socio-economic changes in Kazakhstan. In the current era of socio-economic and digital transformations the teacher's proficiency has emerged as a crucial element that directly influences the quality of students' education. The Ministry of Digital Development, Innovation, and Aerospace Industry of Kazakhstan has reported a yearly requirement for approximately 30,000 additional IT professionals. Consequently, the focus is on enhancing the methodological expertise of IT discipline educators, recognizing their pivotal role in influencing the quality of education and student achievements. Information systems aimed at enhancing this competence are emerging as a crucial element in elevating the overall effectiveness of education. The article presents the rationale for the need to create a single space for additional professional education of teachers of IT disciplines. It is considered as an effective mechanism for the implementation of the state educational policy and innovation strategy in the field of education. The aim of this initiative is to ensure that the human resource is ready to successfully achieve the country's strategic goals in the context of digitalization processes. The article focuses on the development of a structural model of an information system aimed at improving the methodological competence of teachers of IT disciplines using the principles of continuing education. Based on a conceptual model with microservices subsystems, this methodology represents a comprehensive approach to the development of the competence of teachers of IT disciplines, integrating technological and methodological aspects. The development of a method for combining data in order to prevent duplication of records in the database of the information system is also considered. Methods of estimating the degree of similarity based on the types of attributes are proposed. The article extensively delineates the models, architecture, and components constituting the software implementation of the envisioned information system. It scrutinizes the accessibility of the employed data sources and formulates conclusions regarding the future potential for advancing the subject matter.

Students’ Perception towards Online Learning across Multiple Disciplinary Courses in India—A Qualitative Analysis

Online learning has become essential to the teaching and learning approach during the pandemic. Due to its enormous benefits, online or e-learning can be sustained. The acceptability of online or e-learning depends on the student’s perception and the availability of infrastructure. Data from various streams and age groups has been collected from students in different institutions. After collecting the data, this research incorporates descriptive statistics for a thorough analysis and utilizes the Chi-square test to provide scientific evidence. This study finds that the majority of final-year undergraduate and postgraduate students support online education. The student’s economic status affects their preference for online or e-learning. Having a smart device and internet access also influence the decision to pursue online or e-learning. Gender is positively associated with access to Internet facilities and has a cascading effect on preferences for online or e-learning. Female students prefer online classes but require additional internet resources. Higher education institutions could enhance their online course offerings by targeting specific groups, such as female students for postgraduate programs, if they could better understand their preferences. Even though some existing studies in the literature have examined the Indian scenario to understand the factors influencing the adoption of online education, none of these studies have considered the fundamental need for online or e-learning. Moreover, the preferences were not studied based on different demographics. This research work has collected and utilized data from various educational disciplines across multiple institutes, marking the first endeavor of its kind in the literature.
