Development of computational thinking of students – future teachers by means of solving problems on the processing of structured data

The problem and the purpose. Computational thinking is one of the categories that currently assesses the quality of specialist training, including that of a future teacher. The mentor of a digital school needs computational thinking skills for the successful implementation of work functions and for determining the trajectory of his personal development. The purpose of the study is to identify the possibilities of structured data processing tools for the development of computational thinking of future teachers. Research methods. Structured data is information organized in the form of tables and files of other formats. The research was conducted on the basis of Vyatka State University (Russian Federation). The experiment involved 330 students studying in the field of training: 44.03.05 Pedagogical studies (with two specialties). The use of structured data processing tools was purposefully carried out in the classes of the design discipline from the block “Digital technologies in education”. A set of techniques was used to determine the level of computational thinking such as “Geometric figures”, “Quantitative relations”, “Complex analogies”. For statistical processing of data, Pearson's χ2 (chi-square) criterion is used. Results. Interaction in the experimental group was implemented in stages: the study of basic tools; development of skills of graphical interpretation; the use of functions that allow analyzing and protecting the contents of structured data. The features of the proposed information interaction are: students with different educational paths are involved; the technology of reasoned discourse is applied at every stage. Statistically significant differences were revealed in the qualitative changes that occurred in the pedagogical system (χ2 = 7.024; p < 0.05). Conclusion. The tasks on the processing of structured data that maximize the development of computational thinking are formulated: conditional formatting; establishing links between the source data and the result; automatic recalculation of the result; filtering, sorting, etc. The difficulties that complicate the use of the proposed innovations are defined: how to state a task and to adapt it to the specifics of the field of training; how to organize a reasoned discourse.

A Comprehensive Study on the Impact of COVID-19 on Secondary Education in Uganda

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global education has been profound, especially in Uganda. Secondary school students in Uganda have encountered numerous challenges as a result of this crisis. This paper offers a thorough examination of the specific obstacles faced by these students, encompassing impacts on academic achievements, mental well-being, and their overall educational path. The closure of schools has disrupted the educational advancement of secondary students in Uganda, and the transition to online learning has exacerbated the digital divide due to limited access to the internet and technology resources. This scenario has led to educational disparities for students from underprivileged backgrounds. The pandemic’s socioeconomic repercussions have also imposed financial burdens on students’ families, compelling some students to seek employment or care for unwell relatives, thereby restricting their study time. School closures have affected students’ social interactions, resulting in feelings of seclusion. The absence of peer and teacher interactions can have adverse effects on students’ mental health, escalating feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression. Furthermore, the discontinuation of essential services such as school meals and healthcare support has impacted students’ well-being. School meals are crucial for many students, and their unavailability due to school closures has deprived students of essential nutrition. It is imperative for the Ugandan government and educational stakeholders to enact the comprehensive strategies delineated in this research paper in pre and post-pandemic era. These will prioritize equitable access to education by supplying technology and internet connectivity to marginalized communities and ensuring that mental health support services are easily accessible to students. Finally, the various challenges faced by secondary students in Uganda during the COVID-19 crisis necessitate a collective effort from all sectors. By effectively addressing these concerns, students can receive the necessary assistance to pursue their education and excel in a post-pandemic era.

An intervention model for developing self-directed learning skills in NEET-youth: a literature review

In response to the growing need for self-directed learning (SDL) skills in a rapidly changing world, research was conducted to map interventions that support SDL skills, aiming to find a model for supporting SDL skills in NEET-youth. SDL competencies support continuous personal development and coping with change. There is a significant number of young people in society who do not participate in working life, education, or training (NEET-youth) and are characterized by a low level of education. Little has been done to support SDL skills interventions for them; however, bringing young people back to the education path is a crucial issue. This raises important questions about which supportive approach and tools are most beneficial for developing SDL skills in NEET-youth, and how best to implement them. This literature review is based on the analysis of 25 articles. The results of the study showed that SDL interventions have not been used for NEET-youth, and therefore, the new model was created. In the case of NEET-youth the SDL intervention should be seen as a non-formal learning process that combines various activities that enable self-reflection and real-life experiences for acquiring new positive learning experiences.

Research on the Working Path of Adolescent Psychological Health Education Under the Background of China's New Education Reform

Adolescence is a critical period for rapid development in behavior, personality, and intelligence. Currently, the frequent occurrence of psychological crises among Chinese adolescents is detrimental to the comprehensive development of talents, the implementation of quality-oriented education, and the harmonious development of society. Based on multi-level questionnaire surveys and interview studies, this paper finds that China's education sector is increasingly emphasizing psychological health education for adolescents, continuously improving supporting mechanisms. The initial system of psychological health services in schools has taken shape, with psychological health training benefiting both schools and families, and autonomous attention from adolescents groups has increased. However, issues persist, including inadequate psychological health curricula, incomplete linkage mechanisms, imperfect family support, insufficient teacher staffing and re-education training, and inadequate identification and rescue of students' psychological crises. Therefore, this paper argues that systematically and deeply promoting the multi-faceted psychological health education model of "family-school-society," adopting multiple measures to collaboratively build and optimize coordination mechanisms, and establishing a more robust and effective approach to adolescent psychological health work, aligns with the direction of educational evaluation reform in the new era, fosters a favorable social atmosphere, and is the inevitable path to better promote the healthy growth and talent development of adolescents.
