THE PROCESS OF DESIGNING THE INFORMATION-ANALYTICAL MODEL OF UNIVERSITY MANAGEMENT IN THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION SYSTEM

The creation and implementation concept regarding the information-analytical system of university management is based on the idea of efficient and scientifically grounded usage of modern pedagogical and information-communication technologies. Structurally, the concept consists of three components: organizational, pedagogical and technological. Model of information-analytical system of entrepreneurship education & university management is built with the usage of modular architecture, which provides standardized realization of its particular parts (modules). This makes it possible to develop several independent modules simultaneously by different developers. It is revealed that the implementation of information system modules, which is based on the complex usage of different modeling technologies and takes into account the complex relationships between all educational process subjects, in particular, characterized by the integrated use of object-oriented modeling of complex systems and imitation systems modeling technologies is an effective tool for research and development of new technologies for managing the university's educational process.

The role of internet resources in learning foreign languages at the faculty of electrical engineering

Internet resources play an important role in modern education, including the study of foreign languages at the faculty of electrical engineering. Nowadays new information technologies are intensively introduced into all spheres of our life, including the educational process. In this regard we need to develop methods for using computer information technologies in foreign language learning. The use of Internet resources in foreign language lessons is a relevant direction in the methodology that requires new approaches and non-standard solutions. The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of using internet resources in learning foreign languages at the university educational process. More and more language departments, institutes and schools are now using virtual environments to promote and support language learning. The use of a computer and Internet resources in English classes makes it possible to individualize learning as much as possible, make the learning process creative; increases motivation and interest in learning a foreign language and contributes to the effective formation of foreign language speech competence. The article also touches upon the theoretical substantiation of the application of internet resources in the educational context. Furthermore, the students’ opinions are presented on how internet resources are convenient in learning foreign languages. The survey involved 147 students of Zhangir khan West Kazakhstan Agrarian and technical University. It was revealed that the integration of online communication tools has positive effects on the formation and development of speaking and writing skills in English.

Анализ некоторых «модных» познавательных стратегий в педагогике высшей школы

Relevance. Intellectual fashion plays an important role in determining the principles of organizing cognitive space in the practice of teaching the younger generation. The problem of choosing a cognitive strategy is key to the implementation of personal development within the framework of any educational model. A critical analysis of popular cognitive strategies enjoying increased attention from the scientific community is relevant, since the adherence of researchers to pedagogical fashion distracts methodologists from solving truly significant problems. The purpose of the study is a critical assessment of two phenomena of pedagogical fashion: the “flipped classroom” and content and language integrated learning (CLIL). Research methods. Based on a theoretical analysis of scientific literature and systematization of existing methodological concepts, the correct methodological conditions for the implementation of these pedagogical strategies in a modern university are identified and justified. Research results. It has been revealed that the name “flipped classroom” referring to the popular model of advanced independent students’ work is terminologically incompatible with the formal style of Russian scientific discourse. The idea that the effective use of modern digital resources in the university educational process should be associated only with this model is also subject to critical rethinking. The CLIL methodology used in teaching foreign languages should provide a dual focus in teaching, combining simultaneous mastery of both the subject and a foreign language within one basic discipline. Many CLIL proponents consider it a central phenomenon in teaching foreign languages, but consider it superficially, ignoring the differences between the methodologies of CLIL vs ESP (English for Specific Purposes) as well as CLIL vs EMI (English as Medium of Instruction). Conclusions. It is more correct to consider the “flipped classroom” strategy as advanced independent students’ work or reverse learning as a form of blended learning. The review of Russian studies devoted to CLIL allows us to negatively assess the CLIL centralization trend without proper taking into account its differences from the ESP and EMI methodologies.

On the Application of Traditional Culture in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language

Chinese as a foreign language is one of the most important courses in the university teaching process, and its main purpose is to cultivate the composite Chinese talents needed by the international community and to spread Chinese culture to the world. For this reason, when teaching Chinese as a foreign language, teachers and leaders of institutions need to work together with education departments to strengthen the application of China's traditional cultural and integrate it into the teaching content, so that students can fully understand the charm of China's traditional culture, increase their interest in learning and national self-confidence, actively participate in the later learning process, and when they join the workforce, they can play their own value role in the dissemination of Chinese culture. In actual teaching, as there are many contents and types of traditional culture in China, teachers need to make scientific choices and follow the corresponding principles to develop teaching contents and objectives that are more suitable for students' learning, so as to lay a solid foundation for the overall development of the field of teaching Chinese as a foreign language. The following is an analysis and exploration of the application of traditional culture in teaching Chinese as a foreign language.

CERTIFICATE PROGRAM «ORGANISATION AND DIRECTING OF CULTURAL AND ARTISTIC PROJECTS» WITHIN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF KHERSON STATE UNIVERSITY

Over the last decades, the system of higher education in Ukraine has been constantly changing. This situation is caused by the search for a domestic strategy of professional training in the context of modern European requirements. Of course, the directions, conceptual principles, and strategic objectives of professional training are determined by state documents of Ukraine. However, the implementation of the tasks is designed to be made by teachers of higher educational institutions, which encourages the teaching staff of universities to effective research. Thus, due to the fact that Ukraine has chosen the European vector of development for integration into the world community, it is necessary to study advanced foreign ideas and achievements and implement them in domestic universities, which is currently happening. The author focuses on the topical issue of finding new ways to improve the quality of higher education and argues that one of such ways is the introduction of certificate programs in the educational process of universities. The researcher admits that the renewal of the educational process in universities is taking into account the achievements of the past and, of course, the present. A review of scientific publications and regulations on certificate programs shows that Ukrainian educational institutions have begun to implement certificate programs actively to meet the individual educational needs of higher education students in acquiring additional professional competencies within the specialty or related specialties and fields of knowledge, including obtaining professional qualifications. The requirements of higher education for the creation of modern certification programs (short-term, medium-term, long-term) have been determined and their advantages have been revealed. Guided by the Regulations on Certificate Programs of Kherson State University (Order of 29.04.2021 № 529-D), in accordance with the Law of Ukraine «On Higher Education», the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine «On approval of paid services that can be provided by establishments and institutions of the education system belonging to the state and communal form of ownership» dated 27.08.2010, it has been stated that the certificate programs are in fact specialized training courses or a specialized set of interconnected components (educational components) of established duration, which provides professional targeted training of students. The author's certificate program «Organisation and directing of cultural and artistic projects» has been proposed, which is designed for applicants of higher education at the master's level, while obtaining a bachelor's degree. The program has an applied direction; its structure meets the requirements of higher education. The structure of the long-term certificate program provides general information, defines the purpose of the program, presents its characteristics, and suitability of graduates for employment and further study lists program competencies and program learning outcomes, describes the process of teaching and evaluating achievements in this course, mobility, the list of components of the certificate program and their logical sequence, the form of certification of applicants for higher education, the matrix of compliance of program competencies and ensuring program learning outcomes have been analyzed. Conclusions were made on the expediency of introducing certificate programs in the educational process of professional training of applicants of higher education.

ПРИНЦИПИ ОРГАНІЗАЦІЇ НАВЧАЛЬНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ В УКРАЇНСЬКИХ УНІВЕРСИТЕТАХ, ЩО ПЕРЕБУВАЮТЬ У ЗОНІ БОЙОВИХ ДІЙ

The article examines the problem of organizing educational activities in Ukrainian universities located in the war zone. The purpose of the article is to highlight the principles of the organization of educational activities in such universities. It is noted that classical approaches to determining the principles of organizing educational activities in wartime require updating the content and emphasizing the psychological and security component of the educational process. The tasks of the research have determined the relevance of the problem of ensuring an admissibly effective educational process in universities that remained to work in the territories close to the front line, which is determined by the organization of training, on the one hand, with the provision of the necessary qualitative effectiveness and, on the other hand, the conditions of physical safety of the subjects of interaction being observed as far as possible (teachers and students). In the research, the methods of analysis of scientific sources, experience of Ukrainian universities located in the combat zone (Sumy, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv) have been used; generalization and systematization of the current work of lecturers in Kharkiv University in conditions of forced online learning and asynchronous communication have been applied. Research results. The scientific problem of the current state of the educational process in Ukrainian universities located in the war zone is defined. Firstly, taking into account not only the didactic component of the educational process, but also the psychological features of communication in war conditions, the emphasis is shifted to the preservation of the lives of the participants in the educational interaction, i.e. teachers and students, which prompts the teacher as the organizer of the class to take into account air raid sirens and provide students with the opportunity to descend into the bomb shelter. Secondly, the experience of Israeli colleagues regarding psychological switching from emotions to logic in life-threatening situations is taken into account, when a person who has received the impression of a crisis situation should not become its passive victim, but an active participant in solving the problem. Thirdly, the problem of preserving and maintaining the quality of education, which has worsened due to the impossibility of conducting classes in classrooms and energy instability, has been updated since, instead, the organization of the educational process takes place through online classes and communication in the asynchronous mode. There has been conducted the qualitative review of the content and forms of implementation of students’ psychological relief by teachers, in particular through the discussion of critical emotional events, and encouraging students to be creative as a way of sublimating stress. Finally, the principle of informative efficiency is emphasized, which is manifested through the organization of communication between the subjects of educational interaction, the offer of variable forms of obtaining information (in synchronous and asynchronous mode), the involvement of students in relevant professional events organized mainly on a free basis, as well as the support of their cognitive activities in the form of consultations and discussions of modern trends.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF VIRTUAL REALITY TECHNOLOGIES TO ENHANCE LEARNING AND TRAINING EXPERIENCE: DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND BEYOND

During the global pandemic, we now live and work differently, forcing government decision-makers to find innovative, new ways to learn and train that will still be feasible during the pandemic. As we move slowly away from the Covid-19 shadow, upskilling and reskilling students are crucial for learning and professional development. Consequently, the pandemic has highlighted the necessity for transforming distance learning and opened new opportunities for immersive virtual exchanges. Nowadays, virtual reality (VR) has a significant role in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic. This paper proposes the potential of integrating VR technology in learning and training perspectives as an effective strategy or approach used to complete students experiences. The purpose of this study is to develop and design a virtual environment (VE) that guides students through the educational process at high levels of performance. The focus of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a VR simulation for students. In this study, we have designed a VR simulation using Unity 3D software connected with the Hp reverb G2 headset. We collected data by a survey which indicates 50 samples attending a soft skills training course. The results revealed that virtual learning (V-learning) in VR is much more interactive and effective than traditional learning methods like E-learning and classrooms. This study contributes a significant role that the adoption of VR technology can be extremely beneficial to educators in helping students enhance their skills and continue the educational process in universities.

RUSSIAN MEDICAL EDUCATION FROM INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS’ VIEW POINT: CHALLENGES AND COPING STRATEGIES

Purpose. The manuscript is devoted to the burning issue of education internationalization in modern society. Having come to study in Russia, many international students face a number of difficulties concerning various aspects of their life activity. The authors aim to study international students’ opinion regarding their residence in the European North and their study at the Russian medical university.

 Results. Main challenges encountered by international students in the conditions of the European North, their attitude to the organization and quality of the educational process in the university were revealed. Cold climate, language barrier, the lack of traditional foods and separation from family are believed to be the main factors that make it difficult for junior students to learn. Senior students express their disappointment at the lack of clinical practice due to the distance learning during the pandemic and different level of students and teachers’ language proficiency. In general, students speak positively about university educational process and are satisfied with Russian education quality.
 Practical implications. Research findings can be used to develop recommendations for improving the socio-pedagogical adaptation of international students in Russian universities.

Implementation of startups during the training of specialists in the field of information technology

Now, the training of a specialist is considered as an output. When students enter higher education, the curriculum is drawn up for them, which is strictly followed throughout subsequent years, for example, four years for the bachelor. However, this approach does not suit motivated students who lack creativity along with actual knowledge. Thus, these students, in parallel with higher education, attend special courses in IT-companies. At the end of the course, students start working for an IT com-pany and lose motivation for further training at the university. The authors of the article offer a comprehensive approach to the introduction of startups in the educational process of universities during the training of specialists for the IT-field. Attraction to the educational process of stakeholders from IT-companies to solve actual problems will lead to the fact that students will be involved in the creative process, in which they will receive useful knowledge and skills not only in the specialty, but also learn to communicate in a team. The introduction of startups will lead to an increase in the number of motivated students, because students can for creativity to choose not only topics proposed by stakeholders, but also to offer their ideas. Close co-operation with stakeholders from the IT-field will lead to an improvement in the quality of the materials that teachers will offer students for training and will also allow univer-sities to earn on author courses and textbooks written by teachers. The authors of the article propose, together with start-ups to introduce flexible planning of the educational process for students who take part in start-ups, i.e. each motivated student will be able to engage in their educational trajectory and after graduation to obtain not only a di-ploma, But also certificates that will confirm the skills gained in startups. The article also indicates other benefits that each of the stakeholders will receive from the intro-duction of startups in the learning process.

Подготовка студентов вуза к межкультурному взаимодействию в цифровой среде в ситуациях не-диалога культур

The study aims to substantiate the necessity of cross-cultural competence development in the digital environment among university students in connection with the relevance of conflict resolution in the context of non-dialogue of cultures. The paper examines the features of cross-cultural interaction in the digital environment in situations of non-dialogue of cultures; presents the structure of cross-cultural competence in the digital environment, determines the skills of constructive influence on cross-cultural conflict in situations of non-dialogue of cultures in its structure; elaborates and tests the methodology of developing the skills of constructive influence on cross-cultural conflict in the digital environment in the university educational process in foreign languages on the basis of the identified pedagogical conditions. Scientific novelty lies in highlighting three groups of skills that need to be developed within the framework of cross-cultural competence formation in the digital environment among students, namely: the ability to prevent cross-cultural conflict, the ability to constructively influence cross-cultural conflict, the ability to resist manipulative influence, cultural aggression, discrimination, vandalism. As a result, the pedagogical conditions for cross-cultural competence formation in the digital environment among students have been determined and the methodological recommendations for cross-cultural competence development in the digital environment in situations of non-dialogue of cultures among students when teaching a foreign language have been given.

Necessity of Post-War Renewal of University Teachers’ Potential in Terms of Sustainable Development in Ukraine

(1) The war in Ukraine has changed the normal life of every Ukrainian, including educators. For the fourth month, the educational process has been taking place under martial law. Thus, the task of every pedagogue and every university teacher is to start the educational process not only for the sake of knowledge, because you cannot deprive children of education, but also for the sake of psychological rehabilitation. The war has given an impetus to the radical renewal of education, particularly higher education, which determines the relevance of this study. (2) It is common knowledge that the professional pedagogical activity of a university teacher is of great significance to society. It is about the formation of a future specialist, whose level of qualification considerably affects the economic, political, social, and cultural component of the sustainable development of society, something which is especially relevant in the post-war period. (3) The research hypothesis is that renewing the potential of university teachers in the post-war period will allow the improvement of the educational process in universities, will significantly increase the level of professional training of students and will ensure the sustainable development of society. To examine this hypothesis, the professional and personal potential of teachers was studied in detail with the aim of understanding radical changes in approaches to methods, techniques, and forms of education, as well as the type and style of communication between teachers and students. (4) The research methodology comprised a survey conducted by the CAWI method using a structured questionnaire based on the respondents’ place of permanent residence. The sample totality was stratified according to the regions of Ukraine where the teachers work. Teachers of Ukrainian higher education institutions took part in the study. The study sample included 350 people. The main task of the study was to analyze the potential of university teachers in the pre-war and post-war periods. The other tasks the study undertakes are to propose the concept of professional unity of students and teachers of higher educational institutions and to consider reflection as a tool; a tool which is a cross-sectional, integrating factor that structures the education system in various types of professional activity. (5) The undoubted achievement of the work is that, for the first time, the state of higher education was analyzed under war conditions and its development in the post-war period was predicted. This will aid the country’s recovery and ensure the sustainable development of society in the post-war period. This study can complement and enhance the theoretical discussion and practical experience on sustainable development from the perspective of higher education.

Organization of Practical Classes in Physics at a Technical University Using the Technology of “Flipped Learning”

Modern conditions for the availability of various kinds of electronic devices, free and unlimited access to information educational resources, as well as a high level of mastering ICT technologies among today’s youth create conditions for the use of educational technologies of blended learning in the educational process of the university (with a reduction in hours for studying disciplines) in particular, the technology of “flipped” learning. The article deals with the issues of introducing the technology under consideration into the educational process of a technical university during practical classes in physics. The peculiarity of this technology is associated with the “coup” of the educational process, when classroom and extracurricular learning activities change places. For students, an action program is created, according to which they perform a number of steps to study the topic, and tasks corresponding to a low level of cognitive activity are mastered independently in extracurricular time, and more complex ones – in the classroom together with the teacher. As a result, there is a gradual formation of a number of competencies. The educational activity of students outside the classroom takes place in the information educational environment of the university; all types of educational activities are evaluated using a point-rating system of control. On the example of studying the module “Calculation of electrical circuits. Kirchhoff’s Laws” the authors demonstrate the use of “flipped” learning technology in teaching problem solving. A program of educational activities has been created for students to form subject competencies in teaching problem solving, which consists of a number of steps that must be completed, the effectiveness of each stage is evaluated either in the information educational environment (tasks in extracurricular time) or by the teacher (for tasks performed in classroom time). As a result of the phased implementation of a given program, students master the module being studied, and the corresponding subject competencies are formed. An experimental verification of the application of the technology of “flipped” learning was carried out on the basis of the Physics department of the East Siberian University of Technology and Management when teaching students of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering by the method of control and experimental groups.

Analysis of the Operation and Management of Higher Education by Using the Media Platform

Universities are considered the main place for university students to study and live and also shoulder the important task of training talents for the future of our country. As a manager of university education and the relevant supervisor of education and teaching, it must constantly seek more efficient teaching mode and use the new communication platform in order to solve the current problems in the management of higher education. Since the media platform plays an important role in the social and political and economic life, it affects the way of education and the way of thinking in universities. Self-media technology promotes the communication between teachers and students in the teaching process. Educators can carry out a variety of teaching through the media, which innovates the educational methods of the University. This fully reflects the advantages of we media teaching in the media era. As a new means of information dissemination, the self-media platform not only has the traditional media communication functions but also gradually affects the way of thinking and lifestyles of university students to promote their correct world outlook, outlook on life, and formation of values. In this paper, self-media platform is used for university education and operation management process to conduct a systematic analysis and research. The Delphi method is used to screen out five major dimensions of hardware platform, content construction, communication mode, the quality of teachers and students in universities, and the environment of media network dissemination and interpret the positive effects of self-media platform in improving university teaching and operation management efficiency. Based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, the importance distribution of the five dimensions is identified and an optimal path of university education operation and management is constructed to improve the overall efficiency of university education operation and management.
