Olympiads as an Innovative Teaching Method

The use of interactive forms of training in the educational process helps students to develop professional and general cultural competencies. The educational process, based on the use of interactive methods in the teaching process, is organized on the basis of involving all students of the group in mastering the educational material. Joint activity means that during this exercise, each student shares his knowledge, ways of working, makes his individual contribution to solving the situation. By applying pedagogical technology methods in modern lessons, additional information (handouts, tests, problems, riddles, questions and answers, various crosswords, experiments, etc.) should cover the main topic during the lesson. At the end of the lesson, the students will have sufficient knowledge about the scientific information, the place in the field of science and technology development, as well as the encyclopedic scientists who lived in the past. they should also have information about their contributions to the development of this field. For this, it is necessary to use methods of pedagogical technology that are appropriate and convenient for the subject being taught in each lesson. In the implementation of this activity, high pedagogical skills are required from the teacher

Социальные взаимодействия в системе высшего образования в условиях информатизации общества

Informatization of various aspects of social life and digitalization of economic sectors changed the content of the activities of many social institutions. This touched upon the problem of social interactions in modern higher education. Practical actions in the aspect of digitalization of higher education require social reflection for their effective regulation. The purpose of the article is to determine the factors influencing the implementation of the main institutional functions of higher education through social interactions of teachers and students in the context of digitalization of higher education (in particular, during the transition to distance learning). The article discusses theoretical approaches to understanding digitalization processes, which are complemented by the well-known approaches to studying the essence of social interactions. Systemic and institutional approaches were used. The theoretical analysis of the features of social interactions using digital technologies is supplemented by a secondary analysis of sociological research on the problems of digitalization of the higher education system, the introduction of digital technologies and distance learning at universities, and the results of a sociological survey of the students at Penza State University (April–May 2020). The article describes the experience of leading universities in the use of artificial intelligence, big data analytics and the work of neural networks in university activities. On the basis of the conducted research and secondary data analysis, it was concluded that the institutional function of knowledge transfer in the higher education system was quite successfully performed in the new learning conditions. The possibilities of social interactions and communications with teachers and management structures of universities are influenced by technological, educational, organizational and communication factors. Under their influence, the professional and general cultural competencies of university graduates will be formed, which are prerequisites for them to occupy new social statuses after graduation.

GENERAL CULTURAL KEY COMPETENCE AS A BASIS FOR FUTURE SPECIALIST TRAINING

In the article, taking into account the leading global and Ukrainian trends in the formation of general and professional competencies of the individual, general cultural competence is characterized as key while training specialists in the agricultural sector.
 The purpose of the research is to reveal, based on the generalization of theoretical foundations, the peculiarities of the content and structure of specialists’ general cultural competence, to substantiate the specifics of the formation of this competence among the graduates of agricultural institutions.
 It has been proven that general cultural competence, unlike other competencies, has a permanent character. So, if professional competence can be short-term, then key competencies are used by the individual throughout his life, while such competencies help the specialist in acquiring new competencies, which, in turn, allow him to develop and reach new heights of professional development.
 General human culture and characteristic features of national culture, the foundations of spiritual and moral relations and social phenomena, traditions and the ability to practically apply them in a variety of social relations, ideas about the scientific picture of the world, as well as personality qualities, the presence of experience in the field of development of the agrarian sphere as a cultural educational space.
 So, if you synthesize all the data of the process of formation of general cultural competence, their components are defined as value self-orientations on the self-assessment of the individual, motivational, and volitional components of the specialist’s competence. Individually, the overall cultural competence of an individual is revealed as professional self-awareness, self-acceptance as a professional in the agricultural industry; permanent self-determination; self-development of professional abilities; self-projection, building one’s professional growth strategy, implementing axiological foundations of one’s professional life, acquiring new qualities, mastering new professionally important abilities, or a continuous change in the structure of professionally crucial socio-cultural features that developed earlier.

THE USE OF TWENTIETH-CENTURY BRITISH LITERATURE IN THE TEACHING OF ENGLISH TO STUDENTS

Statement of the problem. Against the background of the abolition of Russian culture in European countries, we believe that Russian students need to develop general cultural and foreign language communicative competence on the best examples of world culture. British literature of the 20th century is directly connected with the events of life of the previous time and is represented by the works of such writers as J. Galsworthy, A. Conan Doyle, R. Kipling, W. Maugham, O. Wilde, H. G. Wells, B. Shaw, etc. British literature of the XX century is realist and modernist works, fantasy, detectives and science fiction represent the "golden age" of its heyday and reflects the changes taking place in society, the search for eternal truths and defense of traditional values for all. The purpose of the study is to develop the foreign language reading competence of students-trainee foreign language teachers of the 1st and 2nd years using the works of twentieth-century British literature. Results. The impact of the content form of literature on the worldview, attitudes, values of students is great and occurs regardless of the attitude towards social institutions. The impact occurs at conscious and unconscious levels. In pragmalinguistic terms, the speech genre of fiction narrative implements communicative strategies. Reading is a thinking process, which is managed indirectly through text selection, preparation of pre- and post-text tasks, and control of reading comprehension. The analysis of the results of the ascertaining stage revealed an insufficient level of knowledge of 20th century British literature in the experimental and control groups of students - future teachers of a foreign language. In this connection the experimental program aimed at the optimization of the process of teaching English and increasing the level of knowledge of the British literature of the XX century among students was developed. Conclusion. On the whole we came to the conclusion that the work with the content form of the British literature of the XX century represents a special culture of relationship with the students, contributes to the formation of values, independence, high motivation for cognitive activity. It is important to provide the assimilation of British literature of the XX century on the basis of the analysis of the biography of the writer, the basics of literary criticism, the impact of stories and the author's idea on human life.

General Cultural Competence of a Future Teacher in a Changing World

The purpose of the study. The paper analyzes the content оf the concept of “general cultural competence of a future teacher” and its dialectical development in a changing world under the influence of various factors: the new technological order; the complexity and diversity of various social environments; the risks of environmental, energy and epidemic crises; the emergence of artificial intelligence and learning neural networks; and the large consequences of small (at first glance) events in public life. The authors of this paper identified the inseparable connection of the general cultural competence of a future teacher with the general culture of human society. The work culture (professional activity) of a teacher is understood as an intellectual, socially oriented creative activity in the field of education, which has a spiritual ground and value sense. Such professional activity includes imperatives of personal and professional development, learning new things, motivation to participate in the life and upbringing of the subjects of their work – students. The trend of pragmatism in the development of educational programs of higher education, underestimation of the humanistic function of pedagogical universities and the need to form longitudinal professional and life goals of graduates is actualized. Materials and methods. The study is based on the analysis of scientific publications in the field of competence-based, culturological and learner-centered approaches in pedagogy. The content of publications was compared, and the frequency of key terms in these publications was analyzed using the online service “Semantic text analysis online, seo text analysis”.The results of the study. The results prove that the phenomenon of culture arises in the process of human coevolution. In this study, the structure and content of culture is seen as a sphere with three poles (religion, art, science). In the process of historical increase in the volume of culture, these poles could have changed mutual distances, demonstrating a prevailing influence of each pole on the volume of the culture sphere. Furthermore, the series of categories of “cult – culture – general cultural competence of a future teacher” was analyzed. In the context of the competency-based approach, an analysis of the content of the concept “general cultural competence of a future teacher” is considered. It has been suggested that leadership competence can be considered as part of the general cultural competence of a future teacher, determining the ability to independently organize his or her own professional and life trajectory from the position of a leader, creating an atmosphere of cooperation in the pedagogical, design or research process. The leader's worldview is seen to be an integral part of the general culture of a person, being realized in the normative (regulatory) and evaluative (axiological) functions of the culture, as well as in the socialization function together with a continuous desire for self-improvement in the profession and life.Conclusion. The findings of the study demonstrate that teachers, as carriers and subjects of culture, need to develop their general cultural competence to navigate in and adapt to a changing world. The considered competences are crucial in the modern conditions and should be directly or indirectly introduced into the future Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Education in the Russian Federation.

Factors of professional socialization of students (on the example of Altai State University)

Currently, Russian society is faced with a number of political, social and economic challenges and difficulties, which in one way or another has changed all spheres of people's life. Students, student socialization and self-determination аre no exception. The formation of new vectors of the development of modern education and the exit from the Bologna process changed the habitual life of the student, shifted their professional socialization. As a result, a new image of student is formed, which has a qualitatively different way of developing both general cultural and professional competencies. One of the clearest examples of such changes is the mass secondary employment of students literally from the 1st year of study at the university. Moreover, studying at a university is directly related to the further self-determination of an individual, the search for his own life path, but the crisis realities complicate such a search, as a result, the old motivational components of studying at a university turn out to be ineffective. A graduate of a modern university will have to face contradictions between the demands of the labor market and the market of educational services. It is quite possible that a person cannot get a job in his specialty, but this state of affairs is not considered something new and surprising, therefore, modern professional socialization of a student should work on this aspect. Thus, the young specialist is ready for almost any challenges of the labor market, social reality in general.

Functions of Intertextual Inclusions in Contemporary Publicist Discourse

Introduction. This research paper focuses on the phenomenon of intertextuality which is studied on the basis of the articles of American socio-political magazines. The aim of the study is to identify the types and techniques of intertextual inclusions, which contribute to the formation of the depth of the integral semantic content of the texts of publicist discourse. The relevance and scientific novelty of the work stem from the need to study the functions of intertextual inclusions in non-fiction discourse. In this case communicative, axiological and pragmatic functions are considered to be the leading ones in linguistic and non-linguistic expressions.Methodology and sources. Fragments of journalistic texts expressing intertextuality were selected by means of sampling. The sources of intertextual inclusions were revealed with the help of explanatory and linguacultural dictionaries and internet-resources. The analysis of intertextual inclusions and definition of their functions were carried out taking into account the genre and stylistic typology of the texts, the direct linguistic and socio-cultural context.Results and discussion. Intertextual inclusions in publicist discourse imply the existence of associative links between the source text and the recipient text. The identification of these links helps to extend the meaning of the information shared and to make it more comprehensible. The sources of intertextual inclusions in the American publicist discourse are both those of the world culture − Ancient Greek myths, the Bible, classical English literature and national − texts of the US presidents’ speeches.Conclusion. The main purpose of incorporating source text elements into a recipient journalistic text is to fulfil informative, manipulative, axiological, predictive, and other functions. The degree of influence of the conveyed information depends on the cognitive base of the addressees, their general cultural competence and their ability to establish associative links between the reported and the implied. Due to their emotional tone, intertextual inclusions are an attractor that organize the text’s semantic structure. They let us consider a journalistic text as a unified semantic and communicative-pragmatic integrity.

Teaching the Russian literary language to foreign master and postgraduate students within the special course “Modern Russian literature”: key problems and prospects

The article puts insight into current issues of teaching the Russian literary language to foreign under-graduates and postgraduates, specializing in “Linguistics and Intercultural Communication”, in the course of studying “Modern Russian Literature”. We use a broad historical and cultural context to substantiate the fundamental role of Russian literature in the formation of world culture and the global literary canon, and highlight the great influence that such Russian classical writers as Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev and Chekhov had on the development of foreign literature in the East and West. We observe and trace continuity in classical and modern literary eras and the best long-lasting spiritual, moral and linguistic traditions of the Russian people. We assume that the key problems the teacher should focus on are: Russian literature as a significant phenomenon of world culture, the development of classical traditions in the history of Russian literature at present, the dialogue among cultures and the translation of modern writers’ works into foreign languages, historical and philosophical problems in literature, and historical heritage of the Russian language. The article comprehensively studies the Russian language value dimensions and linguistic axiological directions. The data show the presence, stability and preservation of the fundamental values (life, love, truth, good, beauty, hope, grace, honour, etc.) in the Russian literary language. These values form the spiritual conceptual sphere in Russian culture and constitute its main moral foundations. Serious attention is paid to the aesthetics of the language. We show the aesthetic potential, artistic expressiveness and stylistic richness of the modern Russian literary language, based on the works of E. Vodolazkin, L. Ulitskaya, M. Shishkin, M. Kucherskaya, M. Stepnova, D. Rubina and others. We focus on the problem of preserving the Russian literary language and the high status of Russian in general, revealing complex realities of modern multinational and multicultural world. We recommend such modern masterpieces as “Laurel” by E. Vodolazkin, “The God of Rain” by M. Kucherskaya, “The Garden” by M. Stepnova, “The Writer” by M. Shishkin, “Yakov’s Staircase” by L. Ulitskaya as sources to improve literacy and general cultural competence of foreign students.

Mechanisms for Measuring the Competencies of Students Studying in Distance Learning

The essence of distance learning at the present stage of development is that the educational process is organized in such a way that almost all students are involved in the process of acquiring new knowledge and skills. The joint activity of students in the learning process, the development of educational material means that everyone makes their own special individual contribution, there is an exchange of knowledge, ideas, ways of activity. These features in modeling the distance learning system in the educational environment of the university will allow you to create an adaptive system for organizing the student’s learning process. The student must have general cultural and professional competencies: work in a team, independently acquire and use new knowledge and skills in practice, strive for self-development, set and solve applied problems using modern information and communication technologies, implement and justify the choice of design solutions for solving problems. The article presents various mechanisms for measuring the competencies of students studying in distance learning, which can be achieved using various methods: online testing, online questionnaires, project evaluation, interactive games and simulators, online cases, etc. It is important to note that the choice of a mechanism for measuring students’ competencies in distance learning should depend on the goals and objectives of the course, as well as on the curriculum and the specifics of the subject area. Thus, to measure the competencies of students studying in distance learning, it is necessary to use a variety of methods that allow you to get the most complete picture of the knowledge and skills of students.

Medical discourse as a social activity: formation, priorities, dynamics (based on the material of the Russian popular science magazine «Zdorovie»)

The discourse of the popular scientific magazine "Zdorovie" as a very important segment of the value-semantic space of modern media is represented by a set of genres aimed at disseminating theoretical and practical medical knowledge, experience and providing medical services, taking into account the characteristics of medical subjects. dis-course, their information needs and problem-thematic requests, goal-setting attitudes, the degree and nature of interest, as well as the level of professional, general cultural and communicative competencies.

Cultural Competence Guides for COVID-19 Messaging in Hispanic Communities.

The Rio Grande Valley in South Texas comprises 5% percent of Texas's population yet 17%of Texas's COVID-19 deaths. We aimed to address underlying mistrust and systemic racism in our Hispanic community that contributes to health inequities by developing a cultural competence guide for public health messaging. We employed a mixed method design (e.g., focus groups, surveys, interviews) to develop and implement a cultural competence guide in an iterative community-informed process. We created a general cultural competence guide, one for the Hispanic community and one for the hard-of-hearing community. Our cultural competence guides provide an interpretation as to whether the message is culturally competent or requires revisions. The guides have the following five categories: content and clarity, emotions and values, audience and inclusivity, call to action, and gestalt. The Hispanic community needs more culturally competent public health messaging to address a key root cause of health inequities surrounding COVID-19. Our novel, concise guides can help organizations and individuals seeking to create culturally sensitive and, therefore, more effective public health messaging for Hispanic or deaf and hard-of-hearing communities.

The problem of valuable orientations of practitioners in the bodies of the National Police, from the point of view of methodology, needs to be considered in the ethical and philosophical aspect. Thus, philosophy is characterized by the presence of two distinct categories, which distinguish two models that are characterized by two concepts of morality and morality. We can see that starting from the era of antiquity and up to our time, it has been shown to understand how to function in the social sciences, as well as in the humanities. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that the work deepened the theoretical work on the value orientations of police officers as a factor of personnel turnover in the National Police of Ukraine. Thus, based on the results of the research, the content of the value orientations of police officers was determined, the essence of the specified orientations as personnel turnover in the National Police of Ukraine was investigated. The article also focuses on the fact that the professional training of future specialists takes place in conditions of intensive changes and transformations in the higher education system. Over the last decade, the requirements for the competence of a specialist in any field have become increasingly high. This issue is especially relevant in the conditions of current state transformations. The level of professional training should increasingly meet not only national, but also international quality standards of higher education. The priority direction of training in educational institutions with specific training conditions is the development of general cultural and professional competencies of a young person, which will contribute to increasing the level of his competitiveness in the labor market both on a national and global scale. This article also focuses on the fact that values can be considered in the context of different categorical systems, and the specifics of one or another definition of this concept will depend on the field of scientific knowledge in which it is studied.

Cultural competence of nursing educators at medical universities of 2nd regional planning in Iran

BackgroundOne of the facets of nursing care, as a holistic profession, is cultural care. Considering the role of culture in individuals’ health behaviors, nurses are recommended to be mindful of cultural care. Since nursing educators should be culturally competent to teach cultural care to students, this study aimed to determine the cultural competence of nursing educators of medical sciences universities in the 2nd regional planning in Iran.MethodsThe current research was a descriptive and survey study framed within Campinha-Bacote’s cultural competency model. All nursing educators of universities of medical sciences in the 2nd regional planning of Iran (Tabriz, Urmia, Ardabil, Khoy, Maragheh, Sarab, and Khalkhal) were considered as research units, and the cultural diversity questionnaire for nursing faculties (CDQNE-R) was sent to them. Out of 129 questionnaires sent, 84 were turned back. The data were analyzed by the SPSS 22 software.ResultsThe results of this study showed that the research participants agreed with the subscales of cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, and cultural desire according to Sealey and Yates’ interpretation scale. Also, the research units cast doubts on the cultural encounter subscale. The mean scores of the participants’ responses to the questions of every subscale equaled 4.11, 3.52, 3.71, 3.38, and 3.93 for the subscales of cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, cultural encounter, and cultural desire, respectively. Likewise, the mean scores of participants’ responses to the subscales of transcultural educational behaviors and general cultural competence equaled 3.90 and 3.73.ConclusionsThe nursing faculties participating in the present study agreed with the 4 sub-models of Campinha-Bacote cultural care and the presence of cultural competence criteria. Also, the research units had doubts about the cultural encounter subscale. This result means that the research participants were undecided about their level of participation in face-to-face interactions with people from different cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. According to the results of the study, it is important to hold transcultural nursing training workshops and courses to maintain and improve the level of cultural competence of nursing faculties at universities of medical sciences in the 2nd regional planning in Iran.

Тьюторское сопровождение образовательного процесса студентов-инвалидов в освоении компетенций

This article examines the issue of tutoring in the educational process for students with disabilities. In recent years, the number of students with disabilities has tended to increase, so it is important to develop tutoring support for mastering not only professional, but also supraprofessional (general cultural) competences for this category of students. The role of a tutor in an educational institution can be either a teacher, a group supervisor or a specially trained specialist working in an inclusive education department. The authors consider the topical issue related to the support of the educational process for students with disabilities and it is not only the construction of an individual learning path, but also the formation of universal culture, spiritual and moral relationships, the development of cultural space and in general the socialization of the student with disabilities. These determinants will be optimally absorbed and anchored by the study population in the HEI’s educational space, accompanied by a tutor.
