The emergence of new information channels and methods of distributing scientific publications, active development of digital technologies are changing the tasks and forms of work of scientific libraries, which form documentary and information resources and have extensive experience in meeting the information needs of representatives of the scientific and educational complex. The directions of scientific libraries’ activities are complemented by purposeful training of users in the basics of information culture.In scientific libraries – libraries of universities and central scientific libraries of the subjects of the Russian Federation – much attention is paid to servicing students. The change in the educational model, strengthening of the self-educational component in the educational process of the university, the increasing importance of the information culture of the individual change the status of scientific libraries: from an element of the information infrastructure, the library turns into a subject of educational activity, interacting with faculties and departments on the principles of partnership.The purpose of this article is to present the results of the survey of the information behavior of students in Chelyabinsk, who use in their work, along with information resources of university libraries, document and information resources of the Chelyabinsk State Universal Scientific Library and to determine areas of cooperation between the Central Regional Scientific Library and higher educational institutions.

Этические проблемы и риски цифровой трансформации преподавателя высшей школы

The article examines the concept of “digital transformation of a teacher” and its implications. It identifies the advantages of digital transformation for teacher while highlighting and analyzing the ethical issues arising from this transformation in the context of modern university education. Potential risks associated with the digital transformation of teacher are identified, along with recommendations for their mitigation. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that the digitization of higher education leads to fundamental changes in the university educational process, affecting the activities of teacher and triggering his digital transformation. This shift facilitates a transition from traditional to digital education, aligning with the needs of a digital society. However, this comprehensive transformation through digital technologies also gives rise to ethical issues that can have ambiguous consequences for both the teacher himself and higher education institutions. The author concludes that the digital transformation of higher education teacher is a complex and contradictory process. On one hand, it fosters professional engagement and enhances teachers’ skills, leading to the effective development of digital university education. On the other hand, it generates numerous ethical issues and associated risks that require careful consideration to ensure the quality of digital higher education. Balancing the benefits of digital transformation with ethical considerations is crucial for fostering a sustainable and responsible digital education environment.

The Implications of Assessment Based on Contextual Learning on Students' Results

Creating contexts in teaching, learning, and assessing the student involves a complex activity whose purpose is the student's progress. The connection between the three processes can be assured by choosing the best educational context for the university teacher. In the student-centered university educational process, having the students as partners in the teaching process and assessing them based on contextual learning is essential. This study analyses the influence of assessment based on contextual learning on students' learning results and used descriptive and comparative quantitative research with a non-experimental design to achieve this goal. The sample was 114 students from the Teacher Training Department, West University of Timisoara, Romania, second year of study, Level 1 of the Postgraduate Program, for the academic year 2021–2022 (20 males and 94 females). Using two formative context-based assessment tasks and one summative content-based assessment task, the study revealed that assessments based on practical contextual learning tasks positively impact students' results more than content-based assessments. Also, the contextual assessment task type influences students' results, with the practical context determining better results than a cognitive-theoretical context. The study's limitations suggested that many factors could be involved in studying the impact of different types of contextual assessment on students' results. Future experimental research could be done on considering experimentally confirmed variables and criteria for construing and choosing the appropriate type of task for formative and summative contextual assessment that confirms students' progress, including new technologies support in contextual assessment.

THE INFLUENCE OF CULTURAL HERITAGE IN THE FORMATION OF SOCIOCULTURAL VALUES

The work presents an analysis of cultural concepts, heritage and values, their significance is also mentioned in the process of training young people in university institutions. The paper mentions the functions and aspects that emphasize the role of sociocultural values in the development of the personality of young people. Culture has a great influence on how we are aware of the community we are part of and the value system formed during development. Sociocultural values through cultural and social affiliation, reflect references such as the history and qualities of artistic heritage or association with remarkable personalities. Within the university education process, the emphasis is on contributing to their knowledge, protection and promotion. Therefore, the university education process has a considerable impact on the valorization of cultural heritage and the formation of sociocultural values of young people, which will serve as a means of adaptation and integration in the current period.

Life tasks and value orientations of future teachers under conditions of a digital educational environment

The present study aims to establish and substantiate statistically significant correlations between the life tasks and value orientations of future teachers in training in a digital educational environment. Valid and reliable psychodiagnostic tools were applied to measure the study variables. Two correlation matrices were constructed: one between the terminal and instrumental values and another between these values and the parameters of life tasks. The results reveal that the values “entertainment”, “high demands” and “responsibility” present the greatest number of significant correlations, which indicates that they are the most dependent values and prioritized by future teachers. A notable finding is that the parameter “integrity of life” does not correlate significantly with any of the values studied. This suggests that life integrity is an autonomous dimension in the lives of future teachers. The correlations identified in this study have important implications for the planning and organization of the quality educational process in universities, particularly in digital environments.

Сущность формативного оценивания как дидактического концепта высшего образования

The study attempts to trace the evolution of the formation of the concept of formative assessment in Russian and foreign pedagogy, to identify its essence and content, to characterize formative assessment in the modern educational process of the university as a pedagogical phenomenon that contributes to improving the quality of learning. As a result, the researchers clarified the essence of the concept “formative assessment” and defined it on the basis of the conducted comprehensive analysis of the genesis of its conceptualization in global pedagogical science. The novelty of the proposed research lies in the presented characteristic of formative assessment in a modern pedagogical process of higher education institutions, revealing its essence through didactic functions and strategic principles. The paper concludes by highlighting the didactic potential of formative assessment, focusing on its essential characteristic as a regulator of educational activity, which provides the continuous development and adaptation of the pedagogical process to the individual abilities and learning needs of students in order to improve the quality of education. The practical advantage of the paper is that it proposes tactics and strategies for the implementation of formative assessment technologies in the university educational process.

İç Mekan Estetik Memnuniyetin Karşılaştırılması: İç Mimarlık Birinci Sınıf ve Üst Sınıf Öğrencileri Arasındaki Farklılıklar

The professions of interior architecture necessitate the integration of both aesthetics and functionality. Therefore, these concepts are deeply embedded in the university education process. The first step on this educational path is taking the basic design studio course which aims students to start developing critical and abstract thinking skills in the design process. It would contribute to the literature to examine how far students are able to develop their aesthetic evaluations in the first year of university education. Therefore, we conducted the study to investigate if there is a difference in aesthetic evaluations of interiors between students who have just started their interior architecture education and students who have completed their first year. Examining how students' aesthetic evaluations for interior design evolve over the course of their interior architecture education provides valuable insights into design education. The results illustrated that there is a significant difference between evaluations of aesthetic pleasure and novelty. The students who finished the first year have less aesthetic pleasure and novelty scores than the students who just started their university education. The first year of education may reduce aesthetic appreciation because basic design education aims to teach students to think critically.

DEVELOPMENT OF A MODEL FOR IMPLEMENTING A CASE METHOD FOR INTERACTIVE STUDY PROCESS MANAGEMENT MONITORING

The importance of this research topic lies in the need to gather, store, analyze and disseminate accurate information on the management status of educational institutions to guarantee the provision of quality educational services. This is particularly crucial in the current trend towards digitalizing educational work and utilizing the internet to facilitate practical management tasks. The study aims to construct a case method model to supervise educational process management outcomes. For that purpose, the study scrutinises the implementation methodologies of existing case models to monitor and analyse the situation without human intervention. Also, the investigation entails creating an implementation algorithm and a simulation model of an interactive case method to monitor educational activities. The formalized logical-semantic apparatus is used to address the research problems. The algorithm development and simulation modeling enabled correlation of the obtained answer with the assigned task, automating the results output. Generating answers in the case method involves considering rules based on the base word, answer keywords, and constraints (true/false). These elements are part of the thesaurus specific to the survey domain and are included in the test's base vocabulary. To test an answer against a question, each inductive step is viewed through a logical formula. Logical statements such as conjunction, disjunction, logical negation, implication, and equivalence are represented by formulas. This method enables the evaluation of the respondent's answer based on the nodes within the statement tree integrated into the test. The progression from the initial word to the node-connection generates an automated assessment of individual educational process management standards. This study enables the enhancement of automated monitoring capabilities for the University's educational process results. The research suggests the potential for developing models and algorithms to form question sets and enable individualized assessments based on the respondent's performance. As a consequence, the devised algorithm and simulation model for the interactive case approach are showcased. During the testing, the key words and example words were compared with the responses of the participants and specific results were obtained. Additional case vocabulary terms need to be added to address the limitations encountered during the model testing and the testing period.

Determining knowledge of antimicrobial therapy in practitioners (results of the KANT-IV project)

Objective. To determine the level of knowledge of doctors on the rational use of antimicrobial drugs in clinical practice and to compare with data of the previous stage of the study and results obtained from students in a parallel project. Materials and Methods. A multicenter questionnaire survey of practitioners with analysis of results – stage of KANT project (full name of the project – «Physicians’ (Students’) knowledge in antimicrobials usage») conducted in 2020–2023. Results. A total of 336 participants were surveyed in 5 centers (10 Russian regions: Belgorod, Novosibirsk, Rostov, Voronezh, Lipetsk, Sakhalin, Primorsky, Krasnodar, and Krasnoyarsk regions, Republic of Tatarstan). The average level of correct answers (LCA) for the whole questionnaire was 47.5% (taking into account the extended analysis of sub-items questions No. 8 and 9 – 46.8%). Doctors showed the best results in answering questions about the time interval during which the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapy is evaluated (LCA – 84.2%); about choosing the most rational action if antimicrobial therapy (AMT) has a positive clinical effect, but requires a long course of therapy (LCA – 72.6%); selection of rational diagnostic/treatment action in the diagnosis of acute tonsillitis or pharyngitis, in a case where etiologic diagnosis is required (LCA – 63.1%). The worst results were recorded in answering to the following questions: indication of the antimicrobial drug of choice in the treatment of various infections (LCA – 29.1%); the choice of auxiliary drugs in addition to the justified appointment of antimicrobial drugs in the treatment of bacterial infections of the respiratory tract for the entire period of the disease or in certain phases (LCA – 26.6% – 35.1%); indication of a combination of antimicrobial drugs that is irrational to prescribe in clinical practice due to a similar mechanism and/or spectrum of activity against pathogens (LCA – 24.4%). Significant differences were found between centers in a number of questions, between physicians in KANT-III and KANT-IV projects (p < 0.001), and between physicians and students in a parallel project (KANT-IV students, LCA – 42.6%, p < 0.001). Conclusions. An unsatisfactory level of physicians’ knowledge of AMT and choice of adjuvant agents, as well as appropriateness of antimicrobial combination was found. The authors believe there is a need for making more efforts in areas of increasing physicians’ compliance to clinical recommendations, expertise and quality control of pharmacotherapy, recruitment of clinical pharmacologists; to optimize the educational process in universities, to expand the scope and availability of additional educational programs within the system of continuous education, as well as to train physicians in using modern sources of scientific medical information.

Application of axiologically-oriented classes’ system when teaching agricultural students of different cultures by means of social disciplines

The value orientations of students are of great scientific interest from the point of view of the formation of the educational process in universities and are an important subject of sociological and pedagogical research. The aim of our research is to work out a program of value-oriented lessons, connecting the social disciplines as well as curatorial lessons with united axiological topics, apply it in classes with students, evaluate its effectiveness and efficiency to increase the level of knowledge, strengthen motivation to study the values of intercultural communication, elevate axiological orientations of intercultural communication of students to the rank of norm. Our validation tools comprise hypothesis, analysis, observation, synthesis, simulation, mathematical data treatment, experimental tests, and diagnosis methods. During the implementation of the program, the personal and social value groups of the students of the experimental group were most influenced. A positive result of working with the professional values of intercultural communication can be considered a change in their numerical indicators of significance. The strategic direction of the formation of a university student is the motivation for purposeful entry into the system of values as universal socio-cultural orientations. The emphasis shifts to changing personal qualities, which eventually enhance the activity of the individual in the socioprofessional sphere.

Optimization of the Teaching Process of Physical Education and Training in Colleges and Universities Based on Explanatory Structural Models

Abstract This study examines the explanatory structural model’s inter-level division technique and how it relates to the directed graphs representing the system’s constituent parts. The directed graphs without loops are successfully identified by analyzing these directed graphs, and the critical elements in the set of highest-level elements are found accordingly. The reduced reachability matrix is used in the study to directly locate the corresponding sinks, and this approach not only optimizes the hierarchical effect of the elements of the complex system, but also significantly improves the computational efficiency of the explanatory structural model. We also used this refined model to examine the main variables influencing how well colleges and universities teach physical training. To maximize the effectiveness of the physical exercise teaching method, a strategy of moving from the deep to the surface was chosen, considering the hierarchical link between these components. The study’s findings demonstrated that applying this optimization method raised the subjects’ overall test scores before and after training by an average of 20.14 points. In addition, the subjects’ lung capacity increased from 4.21 liters to 4.86 liters, and the left ventricular end-diastolic volume and output per beat in terms of cardiac function increased by 11.7% and 18.9%, respectively. The study’s findings offer a significant theoretical and practical foundation for advancing physical education techniques and developing college students’ athletic potential.
