Review Curriculum Evaluation of Physical Education Specialty Under the Perspective of Teacher Training Certification

The purpose of this study was to summarize the main body, content, method and application effects of physical education curriculum evaluation, to understand the current situation of physical education curriculum evaluation in China, and to construct an evaluation index system based on teacher training professional certification. The Chinese and English databases were searched by systematic evaluation, and the retrieval time was from December 31, 2018. The research literature that met the standard were included, and qualitative analysis was conducted by subject analysis method. A total of 100 studies were included, most of which summarized the concept, content and subject of physical education curriculum evaluation in different historical backgrounds. It has the following characteristics: The main body of evaluation is diversified, but it is still dominated by teachers' and administrative departments' top-down evaluation. The content of evaluation is diversified, but the homogenization is serious, and the essential problem of course evaluation is not explained enough yet. Evaluation methods are diversified, but there are few methods combining information technology and cross-boundary evaluation. Based on the three core concepts of teachers' professional certification, the evaluation standard is established. With the student-oriented concept, establish the evaluation subject, content, method and means; Taking output orientation as the concept, integrate various methods or means to improve the quality of teaching and student training; Build a developmental evaluation system and promote the continuous improvement of physical education curriculum system.

Розвиток soft skills педагога: толерантність до невизначеності та мислення в умовах нестабільності

Based on the analysis of scientific, pedagogical and regulatory sources, it is summarised that the concept of uncertainty is considered in different contexts and meanings. Tolerance for uncertainty and thinking in conditions of instability as part of the “soft skills” of educators, which, along with other skills, underlies their professional effectiveness, adaptation to life situations, remains relevant for researchers. Properties that are important for pedagogical activity are highlighted, which indicate tolerance to uncertainty: the ability to control oneself and not fall into a prolonged state of stress, psychophysical stability, anti-fragility; the ability to master emotions, to control or regulate one’s emotional states; cognitive attitudes that approve, positively colour what is incomprehensible, multitasking, non-linear or multiple; a positive attitude towards situations in which one needs to act, take responsibility, and find solutions. It also deals with intolerance to uncertainty – various negative feelings – discomfort, threat, insecurity, mistrust of oneself and others; giving preference to cognitive strategies in order to simplify situations – stereotyping, polarisation, rushing decisions, finding ways to delegate responsibility, the need for categorisation, dichotomy of thinking, which prompts to automatically give priority to one's own, familiar and usual. Factors that are the conditions and characteristics of instability in professional pedagogical activity have been identified and analysed: poly-subjectivity of educational processes; verticality of the structure of pedagogical interaction; the dynamics of educational changes and educational processes, which is particularly typical of the modern global educational space; external determinism of education by market and social factors. Based on the results of the empirical research (diagnosis of intolerance by Badner), it was found out that: 1. A significant advantage of the average level of intolerance/tolerance of the respondents was found in relation to the subscales: “novelty of the problem” – 73.91 %; “complexity of the problem” – 91.30; “insolvability of the problem” – 84.05; 2. Tolerance, that is, the low level of intolerance of the interviewees is insignificant: “insolvability of the problem” – 7.24 %; “complexity of the problem” – 1.44; “novelty of the problem” – 2.8; 3. As for the high level of intolerance, it was found that it is characteristic of a significant part of future teachers only according to the subscale “novelty of the problem” – 34.78 % – in the respondents of the Preschool Education specialty, and 17.39 % – of the Primary Education specialty. According to the “complexity of the problem” subscale, these indicators are much lower: 8.69 % and 6.52 %, respectively, and according to the “insolvability of the problem” subscale, they are 13.4 % and 6.52 %. Thus, the novelty of the problem is the main source of intolerance to uncertainty and thinking of students in conditions of stability. Keywords: soft skills; pedagogical activity; professional activity in conditions of instability; thinking in conditions of instability; tolerance to uncertainty.

Mechanisms of interaction between employers and vocational educational organizations in a situation of uncertainty

In a situation of uncertainty, there is a rapid change of priorities, which is reflected both in the requirements for the level of professional training of specialists and in the requests of employers for new specialties. However, the list of specialties and areas of training of workers for the regional economy in the regional system of secondary vocational education is formed on the basis of applications from employers for a five-year perspective, but in a situation of uncertainty, no one can guarantee that in five years graduates of a particular specialty or profession will be in demand in the labor market. To achieve a balance in this problem, it is necessary to develop and implement new mechanisms for interaction between professional educational organizations and employers. The aim of this study is to determine the list of popular vocational education specialties, the description and identification of effective mechanisms of interaction between professional educational organizations and employers that affect the improvement of the quality of specialists training and the indicators of their employment according to their specialty based on the analysis of the indicators of the admission campaign and graduates employment of vocational education system of the Republic of Buryatia.

RESEARCH OF THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONAL EXPECTATIONS OF FUTURE PROFESSIONALS

Problem statement. Freelance teachers are often faced with the fact that students who study in a particular specialty for four or six years, after graduation go to work in another specialty or master another profession. This situation, or rather the problem of so-called "staff turnover", is especially characteristic of technical specialties. And it does not matter whether the student is studying under a contract, whether he occupies a state budget place, whether the student is successful in his studies, or belongs to those who are constantly absent from class and have academic debts. In our opinion, the study of the causes of such issues, which is characteristic of the Free Economic Zone in Ukraine, is an important and insufficiently studied task from a theoretical and practical point of view. A large amount of scientific psychological and pedagogical research is devoted to the study of motives for choosing a specialty and future profession, the topic of motivation of modern youth in general, the study of professional interests of high school students, experimental research on career guidance. But there is very little theoretical and practical work aimed at studying the reasons for choosing a profession that does not correspond to the educational specialty. Purpose of the article is to analyze the problem of studying the professional expectations of students, as well as to investigate the psychological characteristics of young people as a subject of study and the factors influencing young people's choice of specialty and future profession in the process of their education in Institutions of higher education (IHE). Conclusions. Analyzed: psychological features of students as subjects of study; the meaningful nature of students' choice of their professional path; factors influencing young people's choice of specialty and future profession; psychological features of successful mastering of knowledge during training in IHE; psychological components of the student's cognitive activity - motives, interest, attention, memory, volitional and emotional processes; problems of professional career realization as an element of self-realization and human self-development; components of emotional and evaluative attitude of students to the future profession; functions that fulfill professional expectations in the life of the individual; signs of the content of professional expectations.

Важливість міждисциплінарного підходу при вивченні дитячої хірургічної стоматології

The aim of our work was to highlight the importance of an interdisciplinary approach in the study of pediatric surgical dentistry. The introduction of the Standard of Higher Education in Specialty 221 “Dentistry” Field of Knowledge 22 “Health Care” for the second (master’s) level of higher education has allowed us to revise and improve a number of provisions regarding the study of pediatric surgical dentistry. First of all, the updated educational-professional program 221- “Dentistry” outlines the list of competencies and learning outcomes in the discipline “Pediatric Surgical Dentistry” and clearly defines the prerequisites on which the study of pediatric surgical dentistry is based. In the study of pediatric surgical dentistry, namely issues related to inflammatory processes of the maxillofacial area, attention should be paid to the etiology and pathogenesis of acute and chronic inflammatory odontogenic processes directly in the age aspect. At the same time, it is important to emphasize the need for preventive dental measures, timely therapeutic intervention, especially during the eruption of permanent teeth and urgent radical treatment to prevent complications. In addition, an important component in the study of this topic are issues related to the age of the formation of organs and systems of the child, the tendency to hyperergic reactions and generalization of the inflammatory process, the factor of minimal anti-inflammatory potential. The presented methodological approach in terms of practical application of interdisciplinary links in the study of pediatric surgical dentistry, according to our observations allowed to increase the level of knowledge within the professional competence of students with a score of “5” from 20% in IV year to 68% V year. Thus, the list of components of the educational process analyzed in this paper creates a promising direction for further improvement of teaching methods at the Department of Pediatric Surgical Dentistry.

Prosocial activity of future teachers

Introduction.The leading trend in educational work with students of pedagogical specialties is training the graduates who are ready to carry out the projects focused on the benefit of another person and society as a whole. The aim of the study is to identify the dominant prosocial tendencies, individual propensity for altruistic behavior, types of prosocial behavior that reflect the tendency to provide assistance depending on the nature of the situation, as well as to identify the involvement of students – future teachers in prosocial activity.Materials and Methods.The study included the students of the specialty of Education and pedagogical Sciences (n=222 people). In the study of attitudes to prosocial behavior, an online survey was used. The methods used were the method of assessing the level of prosociality on the altruism scale (SRA), a modification of the portrait value questionnaire (PVQ) by Sh.Schwartz, the method "Measuring prosocial tendencies" (G. Carlo and B. A. Randall, 2002). The study also used the method of focus groups aimed at studying the opinions of prosocial actors-volunteers of the St. Petersburg State Institute of Psychology and Social Work, Ivanovo State University and the Mordovian State Pedagogical University named after M. E. Evseviev (n=28 people). The obtained empirical data were interpreted and processed using qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis, including the analysis of percentages, the Kruskal-Wallace test, the Friedman test, and the Pearson correlation analysis. The calculations were made on the basis of the statistical software package SPPS 22.Results.The dominant altruistic tendency of future teachers is to help a friend, the dominant valueis care, and the dominant type is emergency prosocial behavior, which acts as a kind of response to a situation in which help is required. The motives and barriers of prosocial activity of young people are summarized, and the possibilities of universities to support voluntary initiatives are evaluated.Discussion and Conclusions.The results of the research can be used in the development and implementation of programs aimed at the formation of prosocial activity of future teachers, as well as in the implementation of educational work with students.

ARRANGEMENT OF FUTURE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS EXPERTS' INDIVIDUL WORK RELATED TO STUDYING ENGLISH DURING PRACTICAL CLASSES

At the present stage, individual work of international relations applicants for higher education, approaches to which require radical changes, should become the basis of higher education, an important part of the training process of future experts. Moreover, individual work is considered to be a holistic integral formation that consists of various types of individual and collective activities for applicants for higher education, which are carried out by them in the classroom. In the frame of our research, the purpose of individual work of international relation applicants for higher education is twofold: independence development as a personality trait and English knowledge acquisition along with skills formation. We have verified that it contributes to the development of initiative, creativity, discipline, independence, accuracy, sense of responsibility, ability to solve problems on their own, ability to find constructive solutions, get out of crisis situations that are so necessary for the future specialists in their training and professional activities. In the frame of organizing the research, we optimally combined a set of methods, taking care that such a combination provides a comprehensive information about the development of foreign language communicative competence of future specialists. The methods that were used had to ensure the simultaneous study of activities, communication and awareness of the applicants for higher education. In the ongoing pedagogical research the theoretical research methods were applied. During the pedagogical investigation we have come up to the idea that there are some sufficient modern teaching methods active introduction of which will increase the educational outcomes of the foreign language competence of modern applicants for higher education. So, we have witnessed that the usage of think-outside-the-box activities, such as: gapped texts, pairs of sentences, mini-dialogues, sentence transformations, word-building and sentence formation are likely to provide a set of soft skills necessary for modern applicants for higher education of international relations specialty. We have conducted the research related to possible application of modern teaching techniques, such as: collaborative learning, cooperation of the peers, task-based or activity-based, as well as self-learning. Besides, all these modern methods were supplemented with specially designed real-life activities in English suitable for different foreign language classes. We have created a logical step by step strategy of modern method application in the educational process of shaping foreign language communicative competence necessary for future experts. We believe that modern methodic gives a vast scenario which encourages learners of international relations specialty to study profoundly and study to satisfy their curiosity.

Understanding moral empathy: A verbatim-theatre supported phenomenological exploration of the empathy imperative.

Several studies have measured a decline in empathy during medical training, speculating that factors within the formal, informal and hidden curricula are responsible for this phenomenon. Although the medical education literature describes the moral domain of empathy as most fundamental to the empathic response, most research into the decline has examined the cognitive, affective and behavioural domains. This study distinguishes itself by focusing on how moral empathy is affected through training. Ten medical residents from core education specialties at McMaster University participated in lightly structured interviews concerning their training experiences. Interview transcripts were analysed by way of a descriptive phenomenological approach. Analyses afforded descriptions of the way medical training influences moral empathy. These descriptions were then used to generate a verbatim theatre play that was performed for an audience of residents, educators, learners, researchers and scholars. Following the play, audience participants completed a survey to member-check the descriptions and to glean other reflective experiences in resident training that impact moral empathy. The survey results informed revisions to the codebook that was subsequently used to re-analyse the interview transcripts. This resulted in a final, refined version of the influence of training on learner moral empathy. The findings suggest that a resident's sense of moral empathy relies upon the notion of an innate capacity for empathy, and is influenced by their clinical and classroom education, and specific experiences with patients during training. Importantly, these factors are rarely experienced as having a direct deleterious impact on residents' moral empathy but rather are experienced as challenges to their ability to act on their moral empathy. The study promotes reflection of what it means to experience empathy in the moral domain. The description offers a new perspective from which to view empathic declines that have been previously reported, while also highlighting a moral-behavioural tension that has implications for competency-based assessment and the way empathy is conceptualised in medical education.

Development of the Advertising Specialty in Higher Education in Russia and China

The process of globalization and the emergence of various new media are currently increasing the importance of the study of advertising in various fields, including higher education. This is due to the fact that the ability of manufacturers to create and display advertising texts makes it possible to effectively promote ideas, goods or services around the world for commercial and non-commercial purposes. The research is devoted to a comparative analysis of the development of the advertising specialty in higher education in post-Soviet Russia (1991-2020) and in the Peoples Republic of China (1949-2020). It presents the history of the formation and development of the advertising specialty in Russian and Chinese universities. The authors investigate the extent to which the development of this specialty in universities complies with the requests of government agencies and of the advertising industry in Russia and China in different periods. The goal of the study is to examine the specifics of the development processes of the advertising specialty in Russia and China and to identify their advantages and disadvantages. Addressing the topic is relevant due to the intensity of the development of advertising and to the need to search for new forms of learning for the further development of this promising specialty in higher education. The results of the analysis have helped identify similarities and differences in the development of these processes in the two countries and describe specific features of the latter with due account of social, economic and historical factors at various stages of development. The obtained data proves that, along with similarities, the development of the advertising specialty in higher education in Russia and China has certain differences, which is directly related to the ideological atmosphere, financial state, economic strategies, and higher education standards in the two countries.

The Motor Activity Status and Students` Self-Assessment of Health During a COVID-19 Pandemic

In the context of distance learning, physical activity and social contacts of students decreased to minimum The aim of the research was to determine the self-assessment of health and well-being, physical activity status and behav- ioral aspect of a healthy lifestyle of PE students during quarantine, as well as to determine whether these indicators depend on place of students` education. The research involved 226 students (139 male and 87 famale subjects av- erage age – 19.7 years), receiving a Pedagogical Specialty in Physical Education at the Bachelor's level of higher ed- ucation. Independent samples included 77 students from a University in Ukraine; 74 – from Poland; 75 – from Italy. The study was conducted online in October-November 2020, during the period of quarantine in these countries. System analysis, questionnaire survey, survey analysis and descriptive statistics were used. The e-questionnaire in- cluded a set of methods: Health Self-Assessment Questionnaire (HSAQ), Health Attitude Index (HAI), Lifestyle Survey (LS) Leisure-Time Self-Assessment Questionnaire during quarantine (LTSAQ). It has been established that 23.4% of Ukrainian students have a tendency to be careless about their health. The majority of all students (Ukrainian – over 70%, Polish and Italian – over 90%) have adequate self-assessment of their own health. A high level of health-form- ing behavior dominate in all three groups. Italian students were not completely satisfied with their own physical activity during the quarantine. Most of the students in all samples exercised individually 3 times a week or more often. The dominant motives to excercises ere increasing physical fitness or improving the stature.

Supporting ENP Program Growth

Emergency nurse practitioner (ENP) programs in the United States are beginning the process of aligning their curricula and learning activities in a competency-based model since the recent release of The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2021). As the societal journal for the American Academy of Emergency Nurse Practitioners (AAENP), the Advanced Emergency Nursing Journal (AENJ) has been providing this information over the past several years. Articles describing program development, ENP scopes and standards, educational innovations, and competency assessment strategies have been published in AENJ. To assist our readers in faculty positions (be they fellowship or academic), we would like to share some faculty resources related to assessing ENP student competencies in this editorial. The following publications in past issues of AENJ support program development and growth (see reference list): Practice Standards for the Emergency Nurse Practitioner Specialty (AAENP, 2018) Post-Graduate Emergency Nurse Practitioner Fellowships. Opportunities for Specialty Education (Rudy & Wilbeck, 2017) Emergency Nurse Practitioner Core Educational Content (Wilbeck, Roberts, & Rudy, 2017) Standards of Practice for Emergency Nurse Practitioners (Campo et al., 2016b) Scope of Practice for Emergency Nurse Practitioner (Campo et al., 2016a) In addition, clinical and skills evaluation tools aligned with the new essentials are now freely available from AAENP at https://www.aaenp-natl.org/faculty-resources. Prior publications have also highlighted the creation of exemplar academic and fellowship programs (see reference list): An Exemplar Interprofessional Academic Emergency Nurse Practitioner Program: A Blueprint for Success (Evans, Ashooh, Kimble, & Heilpern, 2017) An Emergency Medicine Residency for Nurse Practitioners: The New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medicine Experience (Gaudio & Borensztein, 2018) One final resource for faculty is the newly released Emergency Nurse Practitioner Core Curriculum—A Comprehensive Certification Review for Emergency Nurse Practitioners (1st Edition).

Chaplain Training in Evidence-Based Practices to Promote Mental Health and Improve Care for Suicidality in Veterans and Service Members

Objective Chaplains are key care providers in a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention, which is a priority area for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD). In a cohort of 87 VA and military chaplains who completed the Mental Health Integration for Chaplain Services (MHICS) training–an intensive, specialty education in evidence-based psychosocial and collaborative approaches to mental health care–we assessed chaplains’ self-perceptions, intervention behaviors, and use of evidence-based practices, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Problem-Solving Therapy (PST), and Motivational Interviewing (MI), in providing care for suicidality. Method Chaplains responded to a battery of items Pre- and Post-training and provided deidentified case examples describing their use of evidence-based practices in spiritual care for service members and veterans (SM/V) on various levels of a suicide prevention continuum. Results Post-training, chaplains reported increased abilities to provide care and mobilize collaborative resources. Over the course of MHICS, 87% of chaplains used one or more evidence-based practices with a SM/V at risk for suicide or acutely suicidal. Fifty-six percent of chaplains reported intervening with an acutely suicidal SM/V by using principles from ACT, 36% PST, and 48% MI. With persons at risk for suicide, 81% used principles from ACT, 66% PST, and 71% MI. Cases exemplified diverse evidence-based practice applications. Conclusions Findings indicate chaplains trained in evidence-based practices report effective application in caring for SM/V who are suicidal, thus offering a valuable resource to meet needs in a priority area for VA and DoD. HIGHLIGHTS Chaplains provide essential care for SM/V who are at risk for suicide or acutely suicidal Training helps chaplains mobilize interdisciplinary and community resources in suicide care Evidence-based practices can effectively integrate within the scope of chaplaincy practice for suicide care

An International Virtual Classroom: The Emergency Department Experience at Weill Cornell Medicine and Weill Bugando Medical Center in Tanzania.

Emergency medicine (EM) is rapidly being recognized as a specialty around the globe. This has particular promise for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) that experience the largest burden of disease for emergency conditions. Specialty education and training in EM remain essentially an apprenticeship model. Finding the required expertise to educate graduate learners can be challenging in regions where there are low densities of specialty providers.We describe an initiative to implement a sustainable, bidirectional partnership between the Emergency Medicine Departments of Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) in New York, NY, USA, and Bugando Medical Center (BMC) in Mwanza, Tanzania. We used synchronous and asynchronous telecommunication technology to enhance an ongoing emergency medicine education collaboration.The Internet infrastructure for this collaboration was created by bolstering 4G services available in Mwanza, Tanzania. By maximizing the 4G signal, sufficient bandwidth could be created to allow for live 2-way audio/video communication. Using synchronous and asynchronous applications such as Zoom and WhatsApp, providers at WCM and BMC can attend real-time didactic lectures, participate in discussion forums on clinical topics, and collaborate on the development of clinical protocols. Proof of concept exercises demonstrated that this system can be used for real-time mentoring in EKG interpretation and ultrasound technique, for example. This system was also used to share information and develop operations flows during the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of telecommunication technology and e-learning in a format that promotes long-term, sustainable interaction is practical and innovative, provides benefit to all partners, and should be considered as a mechanism by which global partnerships can assist with training in emergency medicine in LMICs.
