Компетентнісний підхід до вивчення гістології, цитології та ембріології

The purpose of the study was to reveal the features of the competence approach to the study and assimilation of knowledge in histology, cytology and embryology by students of higher medical education. Materials and methods. Analysis, generalization and systematization of information of scientific and methodical work were used in the study. Results and discussion. A competence approach to the educational process is an approach that clearly outlines the competencies that must be acquired and implemented in real life during future professional activity. Today, medical institutions of higher education combine traditional and innovative teaching methods. The acquisition of professional competencies is more effective due to the application of the latest learning technologies and the introduction of modern methodological approaches in the study of theoretical and clinical disciplines. The latest methods and technologies provide a personally oriented approach to learning, develop critical thinking, cognitive activity, contribute to self-improvement and self-education of the future doctor. In the process of training, medical students acquire the following competencies: integral – the ability to solve tasks and problems in professional health care activities; general – the ability to apply knowledge in practical situations and professional activities; special – the ability to determine the structural components of organs and systems; the ability to use the acquired knowledge for further diagnosis of pathological changes in the clinic; the ability to evaluate the results of laboratory tests, make a diagnosis, determine the nature of treatment; skills in performing medical manipulations, etc. When determining the forms of pedagogical activity at the Department of Histology, Cytology, and Embryology, the competence approach to the study of histology is preferred. A competence approach to education is the key to students acquiring high-quality knowledge, skills and abilities that will meet the modern needs of the medical field and the expectations of patients. The examples of the methods used to develop competencies among students include the method of working with material in small groups, evaluating advantages and disadvantages and the method of comparisons (searching for common and distinctive features when determining and comparing histological structures). Conclusion. Thanks to the competence approach to education, the tasks set for higher medical education students are successfully implemented: acquiring professional competencies, acquiring quality knowledge, abilities and skills, forming clinical thinking, developing communication, mental and practical abilities, which will facilitate the adaptive process of future doctors

Contextualised Approach to Mathematics in Engineering from the Perspective of Cognitive Dysfunctions

Background: The relevance of enabling beginning students of engineering courses to solve problems directly related to their future professional activities, already in the initial subjects of mathematics, implies the need to elaborate such problems, implement them and analyse their potential in terms of construction and application of mathematical knowledge in different contexts. Objectives: In this article, we analyse the cognitive dysfunctions evidenced by the students during the process of solving a problem articulating the real functions of a real variable to the study of the characteristic curve of a semiconductor diode, content linked to the analogical electronics. Design: This qualitative-nature investigation is characterised, as field research, of exploratory-descriptive combined type. Environment and participants: the research subjects, seven students in the first semester of an engineering course offered by a private institution in the state of São Paulo, with an interest in following the control and automation qualification, participated voluntarily in the study. Data collection and analysis: three synchronous meetings were held in remote modality. For data collection, we used audio and video recordings of the discussions and the written productions of the students in such moments. In this article, we present the analysis of the first meeting. Results: We evidenced, among other aspects, cognitive dysfunctions that can lead to obstacles in the transposition of mathematical knowledge to extra-mathematical contexts. Conclusions: The results obtained allow, in the future, the planning of adequate mediations so that the teacher can help the students to convert the identified dysfunctions into sufficiently developed cognitive functions.

Forensic intelligence teaching and learning in higher education: An international approach

Over the years, forensic science has primarily positioned itself as a service provider for the criminal justice system, following the dominant and traditional reactive law enforcement model. Unfortunately, this focus has limited its capacity to provide knowledge about crime systems and to support other forms of policing styles through forensic intelligence. Although forensic intelligence research has steadily developed over the last few years, it is rarely covered in the core of academic teaching and research programs. Developing forensic intelligence programs would empower graduates with an awareness of forensic intelligence meaning and models, creating great opportunities to shape their future professional activities and progressively shift the dominant paradigm through a bottom-up approach. In this article, the teaching and learning strategies in forensic intelligence developed at the University of Lausanne (Switzerland) and adapted at the University of Technology Sydney (Australia) and the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (Canada) are presented. The objective behind the strategy is to reflect on and work on real case scenarios using a progressive teaching and learning approach that builds upon the theory and practical exercise putting students in real-life situations. Through this innovative learning process, students move away from the Court as the sole end purpose of forensic science. They learn to adopt different roles, adopt a proactive attitude as well as work individually and collaboratively. This teaching and learning strategy breaks the current silos observed in the forensic science discipline by focusing on processes and critical thinking. It can be foreseen, through the evolution of crime and policing models, that the learning and teaching strategy described in this article offers and will offer the students with many new job opportunities. The article concludes with the advantages that such teaching and learning programs in forensic intelligence bring to the forensic science community.

From the Steam Engine to STEAM Education: An Experience with Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers

In this paper, we describe an educational experience in the context of the Master’s degree that is compulsory in Spain to become a secondary education mathematics teacher. Master’s students from two universities in Madrid (Spain) attended lectures that addressed—emphasizing the concourse of a dynamic geometry software package—some historical, didactic and mathematical issues related to linkage mechanisms, such as those arising in the 18th and 19th centuries during the development of the steam engine. Afterwards, participants were asked to provide three different kinds of feedback: (i) working on an assigned group task, (ii) individually answering a questionnaire, and (iii) proposing some classroom activity, imagining it would be addressed to their prospective pupils. All three issues focused on the specific topic of the attended lectures. In the framework of Mason’s reflective discourse analysis, the information supplied by the participants has been analyzed. The objective was to explore what they have learned from the experience and what their perception is of the potential interest in linkages as a methodological instrument for their future professional activity as teachers. This analysis is then the basis upon which to reflect on the opportunities (and problems) that this particular bar-joint linkages methodological approach could bring towards providing future mathematics teachers with attractive tools that would contribute to enhancing a STEAM-oriented education. Finally, the students’ answers allow us to conclude that the experience was beneficial for these pre-service teachers, both in improving their knowledge on linkages history, mathematics, industrial, technological and artistic applications, and in enhancing the use in the classroom of this very suitable STEAM context.

Būsimųjų pedagogų požiūris į savanoriškos veiklos bei „minkštųjų“ gebėjimų ugdymo(si) sąsajas: Lietuvos ir Latvijos aukštųjų mokyklų atvejis

In Lithuania, 2022 was announced as the Year of Volunteering. This was one of the reasons for conducting this research and delving into the phenomenon of volunteering, the skills developed during volunteering activities, and the relevance of these skills in pedagogical activities. The role of the educator in contributing to the education of the future generation is extremely important; therefore, educators themselves should not only have extensive professional knowledge but also reinforce personal and interpersonal skills, known as “soft” skills, which help to become a mature person capable of solving personal problems, be active in a working environment, be ready to work both independently and in a group, take the initiative, etc. The article raises a problematic question - what are the connections between voluntary activities and the development of students’ “soft” skills? The research aims to reveal future educators’ attitudes to the links between voluntary activities and developing “soft” skills. The research applied the methods of scientific literature and document analysis, a written survey, and statistical analysis of the obtained data. The analysis of scientific literature revealed that volunteering could take very different forms – volunteering activities and volunteering services; local, national and international volunteering; specialised activities; activities of the representatives of specific age groups; and short-term and long-term volunteering. Each form has its own advantages, so it is very important to choose not only the topic but also the form that meets the volunteer’s needs. The study results showed that the participation of both Lithuanian and Latvian students in voluntary activities is not systematic. They reveal that the level of enhanced “soft” skills acquired by Lithuanian students during volunteering is greater compared to Latvian students. The future pedagogues of both countries positively assess both the volunteering phenomenon itself and the “soft” skills acquired during volunteering, which are especially important for developing specialists’ competencies, pedagogical professional and social activities. Both Lithuanian and Latvian students highly value the importance of volunteering and believe that they gained important experience and developed and reinforced “soft” skills, which are very important in their future professional activities - the abilities to work in a team, communicate and cooperate, make decisions, organise, and plan.

PECULIARITIES OF FORMATION OF CADETS' PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE AND PHYSICAL READINESS FOR COMBAT STRESS.

The aim: To investigate the impact of special physical training sessions on the formation of cadets' psychological resilience and physical readiness for the stress factors of future professional and combat activities. Materials and methods: The research involved 96 cadets (men) in the 2nd training year of S. P. Koroliov Zhytomyr Military Institute (Ukraine) aged 18-20 years, who were divided into two groups: the experimental (E, n = 47) and the control (C, n = 49). The cadets of the E group studied according to the authors' program, and the C group cadets - according to the existing program. Cadets' psychological resilience was studied using psycho-diagnostic methods aimed at assessing their volitional qualities. Cadets' physical fitness was assessed by the tests of general and special physical training. Results: It was found that the level of general physical training of the E and the C group cadets was significantly the same (p > 0.05) at the end of the research but in terms of special physical training and psychological readiness, the E group cadets had all indicators significantly (p < 0.05-0.001) better than those of the C group. Conclusions: It has been proved that the special physical training sessions conducted according to the authors' program were more effective than the existing program in forming cadets' physical readiness and psychological resilience for stress factors of future professional and combat activities.

Innovative Educational Technologies and Competencies in Higher Education

The relevance of the research topic is that in order to effectively ensure the professional training of highly qualified personnel in higher education institutions, priority is given to professionally competent teachers, researchers and innovators who are able to implement modern methodological approaches to scientific knowledge and student-centred learning during a lifetime with prolonged employment. The purpose of this article is to study the innovative educational technologies and competencies in higher education. The leading research methods are survey, questionnaire, interviewing, testing and the method of statistical analysis. The authors formed experimental and control groups of future teachers in order to measure the level of readiness of philology students to use technological innovations in future professional and pedagogical activities. It was found that positive changes in the identification of students’ interest in these activities occurred only in those students who observed innovative approaches of teachers to teaching foreign languages. Also, it was determined that the increased interest of students—future teachers of philological specializations of the control and experimental groups in multimedia and electronic learning tools is due to the global digitalization of the educational process, as well as the school reformation processes, which provide for the active introduction and use of multimedia teaching tools. The principal research question for this research is as follows: Is it necessary for philolosophy students to use technological innovations in future professional and pedagogical activities? It was concluded that the developed and implemented system of teaching foreign languages to students of philological specializations using technological innovations is effective.

Development of digital literacy of a future teacher during the first year of university studies

Introduction. During the last few years, technology and the possibilities of the digital world have been actively entering our lives. It is especially important for a student to master the skills of working in the digital environment during the first year of study at university. During this period students get acquainted with the electronic information environment of the university, develop skills of information retrieval and presentation in various forms; create the basis for creating educational content for students and the ability to work with the already created educational resources. Materials and methods. The method of analyzing the products of activity was used in the practical part of the work to assess the components of students' digital literacy on the basis of their practical work. A total of 230 students of the South Ural State Humanitarian and Pedagogical University (Russia, Chelyabinsk) took part in the approbation of the developed model and practice program. Results. The model of students' digital literacy development during the first year of higher education has been developed, which includes three stages: introductory (immersing the student in the digital educational system of the university, gaining access to internal resources and electronic libraries necessary for obtaining information in the process of further education), propaedeutic (assisting the future teacher in practicing the skills of working with text and table editors, information visualization tools and online services) and action (technological support for the future teacher in mastering the tools for developing his/her own educational content). The program of training practice for students, the content of 16 classes aimed at the development of digital literacy. The average value of the coefficient of formation of digital literacy among first-year students is 0.81. This indicates that most of them are generally ready to work in the digital educational environment. Conclusion. The important points of the development of digital literacy of students – future teachers include: 1) determination of the stages of development of digital literacy of students during the educational practice in the first year of study at the university (introductory, propaedeutic, activity); 2) determination of the content of practical lessons, reflecting the specifics of the selected stages; 3) development and implementation of practice-oriented educational products that promote immersion in future professional activity.

Дидактика технического перевода с использованием отраслевого словаря-тезауруса

The paper is about the didactics of technical translation based on the thesaurus-type dictionaries on particular industries. The paper outlines the problems that arise in the process of translating scientific and technical terminology from French into Russian. The main focus is on modern methods of translation of foreign technical terminology on the basis of the thesaurus. In this regard, the authors present a technology for translating French automotive terms into Russian using a French-Russian automotive thesaurus. The methodological algorithm for technical translation includes didactic operations that provide the following: searching for a French technical term in the alphabetical index to the thesaurus in order to determine the addresses of semantic fields; sequential access to the semantic fields of the French technical term at the specified addresses in the thesaurus; the final choice of the Russian equivalent of a foreign technical term as a result of the analysis of its semantic fields taking into account the current context. Thesaurus technology used in the process of teaching special technical translation in the professional training of linguist-translators best contributes not only to the development of knowledge, skills, and translation experience that make up the professional competence of a linguist-translator, but to their effective application in the future professional activities. The main objective of this work is to increase the efficiency of training future translators through the development of their professional competence based on the thesaurus approach as a linguo-didactic tool. The thesaurus approach to the translation of technical texts is considered as a linguo-didactic tool for the formation of a translator’s professional competence.

ТРЕНИНГ КАК СРЕДСТВО РАЗВИТИЯ ЭТНИЧЕСКОЙ ИДЕНТИЧНОСТИ ЛИЧНОСТИСТУДЕНТОВ ПЕДАГОГИЧЕСКИХ ВУЗОВ

The article presents the findings of the research of the peculiarities of ethnic identity development, its structure and types in the context of multi-ethnic environment of higher education institution. The authors reviewed the phenomenon of ethnic identity in psychological and pedagogical literature and uncovered the features of the formation of ethnic identity in the process of socialization. The formation of a normal ethnic identity is considered as an important stage on the way to global tolerance. In the course of analytical work, the authors concluded that careful attention should be paid to the search for effective means of developing the ethnic identity of the individual. The training program for the development of ethnic identity of future teachers has been developed and tested. The choice of students of pedagogical university as the target audience is conditioned by the fact that in their future professional activities they are assigned the role of transmitters of ethno-cultural competence and tolerance to the younger generation of Kazakhstanis. The training tasks were aimed at participants' awareness of existing ethnic stereotypes and their influence on intolerant communication; during the training, situations of tolerant interaction were modelled. The research findings can be used during the practical activities of teachers-psychologists in providing psychological and pedagogical assistance on the development of ethnic identity, individual tolerance.

Preparing students to form customized education programs for their future

Current trends including globalization, digitalization, informatization, computerization, etc., dictate new requirements for the forms, content and delivery methods of education. Education in the form of acquiring knowledge is replaced by the form of acquisition of competences. The actual principle of the quality and level of education is the competence approach, and in the field of providing educational services - the student-centered approach. The purpose of this work is to share the discussion regarding the trajectory of student's education with the necessary competencies for future professional activity, taking into account the student-centered approach to the educational process systems thinking required to solve complex problems, and dynamic optimization methods. The formation of the student's educational trajectory is based on the development of methodological, ontological and logical foundations of knowledge construction. Ontologies play a decisive role in the description model of the formation of such trajectories when a system of ontological descriptions of various training programs is created, which simultaneously becomes a means of methodology for the formation of new trajectories of knowledge. The use of the proposed principles of formation of the student's educational trajectories allows to make this process, on the one hand, more personalized, and on the other hand, transdisciplinary - which ensures the unification of students into study groups by courses, departments and faculties. The practical implementation of the step-by-step principles of building and installing educational programs takes place in the format of "Prism of Knowledge" based on the "Web-Software Complex – Editor of Learning Trajectory Scenarios". It provides the user with a toolkit with dynamic optimization methods for building various scenarios of the optimal learning trajectory taking into account innovations and future professional activities. Therefore, the given system of formation of knowledge trajectories allows building both personal knowledge bases and unification of groups of students, which in the future will contribute to the development of student-oriented education.

Эмпатия как ресурс жизнестойкости студентов при адаптации к вузу

Introduction. The resources approach allows to obtain the knowledge that is necessary in modern reality, as well as to reveal the facts, patterns and mechanisms of coping with difficult life situations. The goal of society in the period of global development is to identify how to increase the hardiness of each individual and thereby ensure its sustainable development. The resource is the empathic interaction of individuals. But what kind of communication can be called successful in an educational environment? In modern education emphasis is placed on the development of «flexible skills» for rapid adaptation. Empathy is usually developed among students because according to common belief it contributes to social adaptation. Purpose of research. Thus, the study is aimed at establishing the resources of empathy through the facilitation of hardiness in the university adaptation of students. The university adaptability of students is clearly reflected in the social context of development, educational and future professional activities. Materials and methods. In this study we apply the following methods of psychological diagnosis: Index of hardiness (S. Maddi), Test of empathic abilities (V.V. Boyko), Questionnaire of students' adaptation to higher education (M.S. Yurkina), A test for determining suicidal tendencies (P. Wider, described by A.Y. Egorov, S.A. Igumnov). Results. The study has established the resource side of empathy which might increase students' hardiness in relation to adapting to the university. The study has profiled 249 students. Conclusion. The study demonstrates that the characteristics of the conative parameters of empathy differ significantly from the perceptual channels of empathy. It is proved for the first time that only conativity in empathic interaction can increase the hardiness of students in educational and professional activities. Empathy as a resource of hardiness in the university adaptation of students is manifested through the interaction of conative empathy with the sides of learning. Thus, the interpretation of the concept of a resource for cognitive empathy is that it increases hardiness and reduces suicidal tendencies. Resourcefulness not just facilitates the learning success, but also eliminates negative impacts. The emotional component of empathy reduces hardiness. This stems from its implicit, subconscious structure, and the impossibility of reaching the supra-situational level of resource thinking.
