Overall, this research paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the role of AI in physical education and sports. By leveraging AI technologies, athletes can optimize their performance, trainers can provide personalized coaching, and the overall sports ecosystem can be enhanced. Future research will delve into the practical implications, implementation strategies, and potential ethical implications involved in incorporating AI into physical education and sports.

Educational psychologist activity in terms of individualized learning

The pedagogical community comes to the idea that a future specialist in the field of education and upbringing should have a set of psychological and pedagogical knowledge, skills, and also specific personal qualities values and readiness for self-education and self-development, capability of responsible choice of professional goals, creative and non-standard search for solutions to a large number of pedagogical tasks. Thus, an educational psychologist becomes one of the most important specialists in the modern education system. The article discusses the professional activity of an educational psychologist. The stages of formation of the educational psychologist profession are highlighted, legal acts are analyzed. The role of an educational psychologist in the conditions of modernization of education is considered. It is proved that tutor competence is necessary for the successful professional activity of an educational psychologist in the process of individualization and personalization of education. The definition of the tutor competence of an educational psychologist is given as personality traits that integrates knowledge of methods for diagnosing individual characteristics of a student, methods of motivation and stimulation, development of skills for optimal selection of individual education trajectories in an open educational space for the purpose of professional, life and personal self-determination.

The paper focuses on how AI enhances personalization in education and e-commerce, strengthens security frameworks in the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, and combats the spread of misinformation. By reviewing key studies, this paper identifies gaps in the existing literature and proposes directions for future research to address these challenges. The overarching goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how AI and ML are reshaping digital ecosystems and what is needed to ensure their ethical and effective implementation.

DEVELOPMENT OF NON-PROFESSIONAL PHYSICAL EDUCATION AMONG STUDENTS: LITERATURE REVIEW OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL SUPPORT

In the case of specialties called "civilian", the focus is not on the nature and specificity of official operations using physical qualities, as is the case in the practice of professional physical training, but other approaches. The purpose of the research is to actualize the need and reveal the essence of such an aspect of physical education as non-professional physical education of students. The methods of theoretical research, study and generalization of data from literary sources, abstraction, analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction are used. An innovative approach to strengthening the educational component of the educational discipline "Physical Culture" in institutions of general secondary education and "Physical Education" in institutions of higher education has been transformed into research and practice in a number of countries. Non-professional physical education is a high level of physical education. The main sign of education is the inclusion of a person in physical activity. In institutions of higher education, this is a pedagogical process that should "close" the long-term withdrawal of youth with physical education. The results of the formation of the theoretical thinking of the projective type necessary for an educated person are foreseen. In the course of such conscious physical education, which is not the same as physical literacy, the values and goals of using physical education in various situations, which are constantly changing, are formed. These are also abilities necessary for creating an image of "myself in the future", designing and implementing systems of own physical education classes. Non-professional physical education of students of civil specialties should contribute to the formation of a person capable of using physical education. Non-professional physical education is singled out as an independent direction, which is determined by the characteristics of the personality of adults: the complexity of organizing reflection, communication, understanding, self-determination of a person and goal setting. The results of the research can be useful and applied in practice by specialists in physical culture and education.

INDIVIDUALIZATION OF LEARNING AS A DEVELOPMENT ACTUALITY INFORMATION TECHNOLOGICAL SOCIETY

The article reveals the formation of the idea of individualization of education in the works of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Johann Gottfried Herder, Helen Parkhurst, Maria Montessori, John Dewey, etc. On the basis of studying the works of foreign researchers, in particular, Ken Robinson, Diana Laurillard, Candace Thille, etc., the key theoretical aspects of the development of individualized learning are highlighted: diagnostics (collection and analysis of data about a person for understanding its needs, abilities and level of knowledge); personalization (development of educational programs, tasks and materials that meet the specific needs of each stu- dent); flexibility (providing opportunities for individual choice of learning method, pace and work schedule); self-regulation (instilling self-regulation skills and the ability to take responsibility for one’s own learning); feedback (constant monitoring and evaluation of learning achievements with the possibility of adjusting learning according to the results). The main mechanisms of practical implemen-tation of the idea of individualization of education in the American, British and Swiss education systems are revealed (personalizationof education by means of forming a digital educational environment; use of individual educational plans; dual education; variabilityof educational programs and courses; selection and processing of analytical data regarding the course of the educational process; co- operation teachers and parents in the educational process; development of creativity, independence and personal responsibility, etc.). The article proves that the individualization of learning as an actuality of scientific and educational progress in Ukraine and the world should be used with the latest pedagogical tools, aimed at creating a friendly atmosphere, mutual understanding and cooperation in theeducational institution. It is also important to develop mechanisms that provide, firstly, personal support and monitoring of individual development, level of education and upbringing, and secondly, clarification and resolution of pedagogical, psychological and social problems. It was established that the individualization of education in our time depends not only on the efforts of the education system, but also on the balanced joint work of all social institutions.

Decision Support System in Determining the Job Waiting Period for Graduates of Unimed Using the Mamdani Method of Fuzzy Logic

During the job search period as an educated unemployed person, it takes time to be accepted into the world of work. The time required to look for a job is a matter of uncertainty. So, we need a system that can be used as a reference in determining the job waiting period for graduates. The graduate job waiting period is when someone has not found a job after graduation. Several factors influence this. In this research, the factors used as job waiting period variables are GPA, length of study and achievement. Every graduate certainly has a different job waiting period. This research aims to determine the job waiting period for Graduates of Unimed by designing a decision support system using the Fuzzy Mamdani method. This research uses quantitative methods. Data was obtained by distributing questionnaires to Graduates of Unimed. It is hoped that the decision support system for determining the job waiting period can encourage students, especially Universitas Negeri Medan students, to improve their quality before entering the job. With the help of Matlab software, a decision support system using the Mamdani method can be used to determine the waiting period, where the result is that the job waiting period for Graduates of Unimed is fast in the 0-3 month category.

The multidimensional role of the principal in post-apartheid-South-Africa

The end of apartheid in 1994 brought about radical changes in the South African education system, especially for school principals to manage their own affairs as promulgated in the South African Schools Act. These developments have changed the principal's position irrevocably. However, these changes did not result in the expected outcome in the majority of schools for a number of reasons. Teachers are frequently unsure whether the anticipated changes will have the desired impact in schools. Moreover, principals and teachers have different views on how these changes will affect schools and their work. This paper adopts a conceptual approach that draws on various theories and concepts from the literature on school leadership and management. Understanding the challenges of the school principal's job after apartheid was the aim of the research. The Standards for School Principalship (2015) provided the theoretical framework and basis for this conceptual paper. It should be noted that principals are the most crucial persons in education since they serve as managers and major delivery agents in the educational system. They are the driving force behind improved educational outcomes in South Africa after apartheid. However, it is increasingly uncommon for principals to carry out their multifaceted tasks alone because of how significantly their positions have altered since 1994. All the parties concerned with running a school should receive training and orientation in this respect. The main findings of this paper are that, since the end of apartheid, principals face various challenges in their role, such as lack of resources, support, autonomy, accountability, collaboration, diversity, equity, quality, innovation, and professionalism.

The Determinant Factor Of E-Commerce User Satisfaction Mediated By Customer Experience

The research is proposed to examine the determinant factors of e-commerce user satisfaction that mediated by customer experience in Indonesia. Some measurement items were adopted from existing literature. To get the result on how this affects the satisfaction, this research used a quantitative approach to descriptive analysis. This study uses 284 respondents in five e-commerce namely; Tokopedia, Shopee, Bukalapak, Blibli, JD.id, Lazada, and Zalora. The researchers distributed the questionnaire through social media and online messaging applications. Based on the demographic profile of respondents, the researchers discovered that the respondents are an educated person, work as professional employees or college students, and allocate more than once per week to shop on e-commerce platforms. The structural equation model developed in this study was tested using Partial Least Squares (PLS) to analyze data from 284 respondents. The results of the study found that the relationship between e-commerce innovation and e-commerce service quality have a positive impact on customer satisfaction that mediated by customer experience. This study was focused on relationship between e-commerce innovation, e-commerce service quality, customer experience, and customer satisfaction. Therefore, further research is expected to be able to test the determinants of the other factors.

Work-family trajectories across Europe: differences between social groups and welfare regimes.

Work and family trajectories develop and interact over the life course in complex ways. Previous studies drew a fragmented picture of these trajectories and had limited scope. We provide the most comprehensive study of early-to-midlife work-family trajectories to date. Using retrospective data from waves 3 and 7 of the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), we reconstructed work-family trajectories from age 15 to 49 among almost 80,000 individuals born between 1908 and 1967 across 28 countries. We applied multichannel sequence and cluster analysis to identify typical trajectories and multinomial logistic regression models to uncover their social composition. The results revealed six common trajectories. The dominant and therefore standard trajectory represents continuous full-time employment with having a partner and children. Women, the lower educated and persons from conservative and liberal welfare regimes are underrepresented in this trajectory, whereas men, higher educated people and those from social-democratic, Eastern European and Baltic welfare regimes are overrepresented. The other trajectories denote a deviation from the standard one, integrating a non-standard form of work with standard family formation or vice versa. Mothers in a stable relationship generally work part-time or not at all. When mostly in full-time employment, women are more likely to be divorced. Lower educated persons are less likely to have work-family trajectories characterized by full-time work and a non-standard family, yet more likely to be non-employed for large parts of their life with standard family formation. Younger cohorts are underrepresented in non-employment trajectories, but overrepresented in part-time employment trajectories along with a partner and children as well as full-time employment trajectories with divorce. Individuals from Southern European and liberal regimes are more likely to be non-working and self-employed partnered parents and those from social-democratic regimes are more likely to be full-time employed divorced parents. We also found pronounced gender differences in how educational level, birth cohort and welfare regime are associated with work-family trajectories from early to midlife. Our findings highlight the socially stratified nature of earlier-life work-family trajectories in Europe. Potential implications for inequalities in later life are discussed.

Exploring Curriculum Making in Scottish Secondary Schools: Trends and Effects

This article presents the findings from a recent study funded by the Nuffield Foundation, which aimed to provide insights into the experiences of young people and teachers in secondary schools across Scotland under the Curriculum for Excellence (CfE). Our research has uncovered a decrease in the number of National Qualifications entries in S4 under CfE, a phenomenon commonly referred to in Scotland as ‘curriculum narrowing.’ Furthermore, we have identified evidence of social stratification in overall and subject entry patterns in S4, with students from disadvantaged areas experiencing a more significant decline in entries and being limited to a narrower range of subjects. Additionally, our study has revealed signs of curriculum fragmentation during the Broad General Education phase (years S1–S3). The findings from our study also suggest that the curriculum decisions made in schools are primarily driven by the demand for better attainment data, particularly in National Qualifications during the Senior Phase (school years S4–S6), with less emphasis on what it means for an individual to become an educated person in a modern and complex society. Based on our findings, we have concluded that curriculum fragmentation and narrowing under CfE have a detrimental impact on the progression and attainment of young people. Schools that offer a broader curriculum in S4 demonstrate higher enrolment rates for Higher qualifications in S5 and Advanced Higher qualifications in S6. In contrast, schools that offer a narrower curriculum in S4, particularly those in deprived areas, are more likely to experience delays in higher-level qualification entry. A broader curriculum in S4 has been associated with improved performance in National 5 qualifications, higher scores in international tests such as PISA English and Maths, and higher scores on OECD measures of global competences. On the other hand, a narrower curriculum is correlated with less favourable outcomes after leaving school, especially in terms of Higher Education enrolment.

Міжнародна інтелектуальна еміграція та інноваційний розвиток країни: моделювання взаємозв’язків

The purpose of this study is to assess and model the relationship between intellectual emigration and innovative development of the country. The relevance of the research subject is confirmed by sociological data, according to which there are currently more than 5 million Ukrainians in Europe. Moreover, since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine, mainly highly qualified and highly educated Ukrainians emigrated. The scientific novelty consists in modeling the relationship between the scale of intellectual emigration and individual components of the innovative development of the country. In the research process, the following scientific methods have been used: analysis and synthesis (when analyzing the latest research and scientific publications in the field of intellectual emigration), structural and dynamic analysis (to characterize the tendency of intellectual emigration from Ukraine), correlation analysis and economic-mathematical modeling (to evaluate relationships between intellectual emigration and innovative development of the country). To assess the level of intellectual emigration from Ukraine, the E3: Human Flight and Brain Drain Indicator in the Fragile States Index (hereinafter — the E3 indicator), which is used in the calculations of the State Fragility Index, is utilized. The analysis of the dynamics of the values of the E3 indicator for Ukraine demonstrates its steady growth over the past five years. Therefore, the values of the intellectual emigration indicator make it possible to position Ukraine as a donor country, i.e. one being a donor of intellectual migrants for other countries. The obtained values of Pearson’s pairwise correlation coefficients demonstrate a close inverse relationship between intellectual emigration and innovative development of the country. The negative impact of the departure of highly qualified and highly educated persons abroad for employment on the innovative capacity of the country of origin has been proven. In order to detail the relationship between intellectual emigration and the innovative development of the country, an economic-mathematical model has been developed, which proves that as the values of the sub-indices «Human capital and research» and «Business sophistication» in the Global Innovation Index decrease, the value of the E3 indicator increases.

Sustainability of food purchases according to sociodemographic factors

Abstract While the nutritional quality and environmental impact of diets are widely assessed, different production modes (organic vs. conventional) remain understudied as for sustainability. The present study examines the associations between different dimensions of sustainability of food purchases and sociodemographic factors. Households (n = 462) were included in this cross-sectional study using quota sampling in Montpellier Metropolitan Area. Food items acquired over one month were registered in a food supply diary, and the expenditure share of each food group (including organic food) was estimated. Validated indexes estimated scores reflecting the nutritional quality and the environmental impact of food purchases according to these expenditure shares. Associations were tested for each sustainability dimension using linear and multinomial logistic regression models adjusted for sociodemographic factors (e.g. age, education, living area). The age of the household's reference person was consistently related to the sustainability dimensions of food purchases, albeit in different ways. While older age was associated with better nutritional quality (estimate for age >50 years vs. age between 30-50 [95%CI]=0.91[0.29;1.54]), it was associated with a higher environmental impact (estimate for age >50 years vs. age between 30-50 [95%CI]=1.84[0.95;2.73]). Households with a highly educated reference person (OR master's degree vs. lower education levels [95%CI]=1.59 [1.02;2.47] had a larger share of organic foods and those living around the city of Montpellier (OR vs. living in the city centre [95%CI]=0.44[0.24;0.81]) had a smaller share. Our findings highlight that sociodemographic factors relate to sustainability dimensions in different ways. In addition, we address organic food purchases, which provide insights into different aspects of sustainability. Taken together, the findings suggest that there are various levers for promoting healthy and sustainable diets at the consumer level. Key messages • Sustainability of food purchases relates to sociodemographic factors (i.e. age, education, and living location); different dimensions may be addressed. • Mode of food production (i.e., organic) may provide insights in the context of sustainable diets.

Stages of Research and Development Model Research and Development (R&D)

One of the efforts that every educational person can make to improve the quality of education in Indonesia is research, especially educational research. Through research, problems in education can be identified and then solutions can be found. New, more innovative things in education can also be developed and applied from research. There are several types of research that can be carried out, one of which is research and development (R&D). Initially, research and development was applied to the industrial world, and was the spearhead of an industry in producing new products needed by the market. Almost 4% of costs are used for this research, even for certain fields such as computers and pharmaceuticals the cost allocation can exceed 4% (Borg and Gall, 1989). Meanwhile, in the social and educational fields, the role of research and development is still very small, namely less than 1% of overall education costs. This is considered to be one of the main reasons why progress in education lags somewhat behind when compared to other fields. As stated by Borg and Gall (1989), unfortunately, R & D still plays a minor role in education. Less than one percent of education expenditures are for this purpose. This is probably one of the main reasons why progress in education has been logged for behind progress in other fields.

Machine learning for the improvement of adaptive learning in university education

AI is increasingly being introduced in the field of education and the educational system, with this the approach to the personalization of education according to the needs of each student. This review aims to analyze the impact of adaptive learning with artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques in improving learning in university education by identifying the main applications, benefits and challenges of this technology. The Scopus database was extensively searched, where 22 of 125 studies found met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that the classification of students according to their type of perception of educational content and the use of written text analysis as a basis for this classification were proposed as strategies to improve the quality and personalization of education. Likewise, the usefulness of machine learning algorithms based on SVM to predict students' final grades and detect possible learning difficulties was highlighted. It was concluded that early detection of learning difficulties, personalization of learning and consideration of demographic and gender variables to improve students' academic performance provide a solid basis for the design of effective educational strategies and highlight the potential of AI and ML to transform the educational sector.

Learning Analytics for Data-Driven Decision Making

This study examines the use of learning analytics to enhance instructional personalization and student engagement in online higher education. The research focuses on the engagement levels of students based on different access methods (mobile and non-mobile), the relationships among engagement indicators, and the strategies for instructional personalization. Quantitative research methodology is employed to analyse and measure students' engagement levels. The findings indicate that students using non-mobile devices exhibit higher engagement in terms of average minutes, item accesses, and content accesses, while mobile access shows higher engagement in terms of course accesses, course interactions, and average interactions. Significant correlations are observed among engagement indicators, highlighting the importance of course interactions, content accesses, and assessment accesses in promoting student engagement. Accordingly, a critical model for effective student engagement in online learning courses is proposed.

Pentingnya Belajar Bahasa Inggris di Era Globalisasi Bagi Anak-Anak di Panti Asuhan Al-Jami’yatul Washliyah

Education in general is a life process in developing each individual to be able to live and carry on life, so that the individual becomes an educated person. Language is a means of communication or a means connecting or communicating between one another, between members of society, between one country and another which consists of individuals expressing thoughts, feelings, desires that are in each individual. With increasing age, every child experiences language and concept development quickly, especially if it is supported by the introduction of aspects (English) from an early age so that it is useful for them when they grow up competition with global world. The purpose of this study is to introduce English and apply the importance of English in the era of globalization at the Al-Jami’yatul Washliyah orphanage. The intervention program carried out through several stages in general, namely Engagement, Intake and Contract, Assessment, Planning, Intervention, Evaluation and Termination. The end result is that children can get to know the basics of English more.
