Research of the methodology of the development of the demo exam in Russia and its aspects in the competence Digital metrology

Nowadays, the demo exam is becoming a frequently used way to additionally test the knowledge of students in technical schools and colleges. However, due to the difficult epidemiological situation, this process is carried out remotely. Let’s consider the features of the demo exam in this format. The demo exam changes the perception of learning, because the traditional final qualifying work becomes only a small part of the main exam. On the frontier of successful completion of education, there is the ability to work with measuring equipment, the skills of perceiving production tasks and the possibility of solving them in the shortest possible time. It is important to note in this case the complexity of the transition to this type of exam for many students who are accustomed to perceiving the defense of their graduation work as a formal process associated with retelling a pre-written text. The demo exam is a bridge between theory and practice, which must be introduced gradually into the education system in order to eliminate a negative effect.

Towards building a culturally informed consent process in Central Asia

ABSTRACT Researchers working in Central Asia often report difficulty obtaining Western-style signed informed consent statements. The principles underlying informed consent were developed in cultures characterized by low-power distance and individualism, low context communication and a rules basis, whereas many Central Asian cultures emphasize high-power distance, collectivism, high-context communication and relationships. Yet, consent is an important principle. We interviewed scholars who grew up in Central Asia, but completed graduate work in the United States, Canada or the UK, to ask their recommendations for developing a culturally appropriate consent process. The common themes that arose include working within a network, building relationships of trust with potential participants and not utilizing legal-type documentation as a basis for consent.

Work Readiness of New Graduate Physical Therapists for Private Practice in Australia: Academic Faculty, Employer, and Graduate Perspectives.

The purpose of this study is to explore academic faculty, employer, and recent graduate perspectives of the work readiness of Australian new graduate physical therapists for private practice and factors that influence new graduate preparation and transition to private practice. This study used a mixed-methods design with 3 surveys and 12 focus groups. A total of 112 participants completed a survey, and 52 participated in focus groups. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the quantitative data, and thematic analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. Triangulation across participant groups and data sources was undertaken. Australian new graduate physical therapists were perceived to be "somewhat ready" for private practice and "ready" by their third year of employment. Participants proposed that new graduates bring enthusiasm, readiness to learn, and contemporary, research-informed knowledge. New graduates were also perceived to find autonomous clinical reasoning and timely caseload management difficult; to have limited business, marketing, and administration knowledge and skills; and to present with underdeveloped confidence, communication, and interpersonal skills. Factors perceived to influence graduate transition included private practice experience, such as clinical placements and employment; employer and client expectations of graduate capabilities; workplace support; university academic preparation and continuing education; and individual graduate attributes and skills. Australian new graduate physical therapists have strengths and limitations in relation to clinical, business, and employability knowledge and skills. New graduate work readiness and transition may be enhanced by additional private practice experience, employer and client expectation management, provision of workplace support, and tailored university and continuing education. The number of new graduate physical therapists employed in private practice in Australia is increasing; however, until this study, their work readiness for this setting was unknown. This exploration of new graduate performance in private practice and transition can help to increase understanding and enhancement of work-readiness.

Социально-этические аспекты дистанционного обучения в медицинском вузе

Examined is the problem of the COVID-19 pandemic that exposed numerous advantages, limitations and disadvantages of distance learning in a medical university. Huge amount of professional knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as the need to test and improve them in practice, make of distance learning medicine education acceptable only in emergency situations. Conclusion is made that it is impossible to replace full-time education with distance learning without inevitable loss of the quality and effectiveness of the educational process, without prejudice the harm to the personal and professional growth of a medical student and doctor-teacher. In the future, it might lead to a decrease in success of the diagnostic, therapeutic, preventive and educational work of graduates.

The Embodiment of “English-only” in Social Work Education and Practice in the United States

ABSTRACT Despite a strong commitment to strengths-based language and cultural diversity, social work education and practice in the United States (U.S.) continues to embody a monolingual, assimilationist assumption. This article examines the embodiment of “English-only” in U.S. social work education and practice through a review of professional journal articles and professional standards. While the context is primarily the U.S., this article is likely to be of relevance to other international contexts where English is the dominant language of social work practice. It recommends that social work programs develop language practices at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels of their curriculum that embody a multilingual ideology consistent with a profession that espouses cultural humility. IMPLICATIONS Social work education and practice in the U.S. continues to embody English-only ideology. This assumption of monolingualism undermines the profession’s commitment to cultural humility and to challenging historically rooted systems of oppression. Both undergraduate and graduate social work programs can develop ways to study and transform language practices at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels of their curriculum.

A práxis de egressos(os) da LEdoC UnB na gestão das escolas do campo: caminhos para resistência à Matriz Nacional Comum de Competências do Diretor Escolar

The reflections presented here are part of a research developed with the support of the National Council of Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), aiming at analyzing the praxis of graduates of the Licentiate Degree in Education for Rural Areas of the University of Brasília - LEdoC UnB and their contributions to the implementation of new logics of School Organization and Pedagogical Work in Schools for Rural Areas, held between 2020 and 2023. This article discusses the proposition of the National Council of Education - CNE to establish a Common National Competence Matrix for School Principal - MNCCDE and seeks this discussion based on the perspective of the Education for Rural Areas principles that guide the training project of the LEDoCs. The main objective of this text is to identify the ways and possibilities of action of LEdoC UnB graduates that points to resistance to the neoliberal, neotechnicist and generalizing perspective of making the principle of democratic management secondary. The methodological orientation is anchored in the assumptions of Historical-dialectical Materialism, having totality, historicity and contradiction as central categories. The collaborating subjects of the research are graduates of LEdoC of the University of Brasília who work or have worked in the management of school educational processes. In this sense, conversation circles were held with the referred subjects and documental analysis of the following materials was made: Pedagogical Political Projects of the schools in which the graduates work or have worked; Course Conclusion papers and Dissertations produced by them and analysis of the MNCCDE Draft. The results show that this Matrix attacks the pedagogical principles that have been worked in the Licentiate Courses in Education for rural Areas in Brazil and that the praxis of LEdoC UnB alumni who collaborated to this research points to resistance to the capital's educational project in different dimensions, highlighting: a) the search for the intrinsic articulation between the struggles for the right to land, work and education – political commitment; b) the Theory-Practice unit from the perspective of praxis; c) collective work and community participation; d) self-organization and f) the exercise of democratic management based on the understanding of participatory democracy based on self-management.

Confederate Exodus: Social and Environmental Forces in the Migration of U.S. Southerners to Brazil by Alan P. Marcus

Reviewed by: Confederate Exodus: Social and Environmental Forces in the Migration of U.S. Southerners to Brazil by Alan P. Marcus Kent Mathewson Confederate Exodus: Social and Environmental Forces in the Migration of U.S. Southerners to Brazil. Alan P. Marcus. Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2021. Pp. xviii+252, map, black & white photographs, notes, bibliography, index. $60.00, hardcover, ISBN 978-1-4962-2415-6. $60.00, eBook, ISBN 978-1-4962-2526-9. Confederate Exodus surveys a somewhat neglected topic that at first blush may seem recondite, or at best, left to the retrograde ranks and enthusiasms of Lost Cause partisans. Geographer Alan Marcus is at pains [End Page 115] to disabuse both notions, and he largely succeeds. While he has been exploring the topic for the better part of two decades, the book's timing could not be better. In the past few years, issues surrounding Lost Cause memorialization, especially Confederate flags, monuments, and names on streets and public buildings, have erupted in national debate and civil unrest. Marcus's study is not driven by these current concerns; it is a historical inquest into the migration story of the Confederados, and the various forces locally, nationally, and internationally that set them in motion. At salient junctures, however, Marcus does comment on our present times and how they relate to this migration. Questions of racism loom large here. While the immigrants generally held beliefs and attitudes common to white southerners of their time, Marcus contends that they, and their descendants, adapted to Brazil's more fluid racial environment. He counters the assumption the Confederados were attracted to Brazil in order to reestablish slave-driven plantations and forge a "luso-tropical" Dixie. He shows that the emigrants' motives and motivations were far more varied, constituting both a mix of "push" and "pull" factors. The result is an engaging study that refracts this history along various lines of evidence and archival excavations, shedding considerable light on some aspects and leaving others open to additional research and interpretation. In his preface we learn that Marcus has more than a passing interest in this story, what many may see as a dusty attic item in the larger history of the post–Civil War era. As C. Wright Mills argued in The Sociological Imagination (1959), the nexus between biography (personal experience) and history (events in their society) offers perhaps the best avenue for sociological understanding and explanation. Marcus was born in Brazil (Rio) and raised and schooled in São Paulo. While not a Confederado descendant, he has uncovered personal connections with aspects of this history. His residency in Baltimore since 2008 has opened up other angles, especially Baltimore's nineteenth-century connections with Brazil, the focus of chapter 1. As a Brazilian emigrant, his graduate work in geography focused on Brazilian emigration to the US, another personal touchstone. This study is a semi-inversion of his doctoral work. It has taken him back to Brazil and deep into the US South. Often a single reading can coax or trigger a research project. For Marcus, it was Laura Jarnagin's A Confluence of Transatlantic Networks: Elites, Capitalism, and Confederate Migration to Brazil (2008). Jarnagin's study explores the genealogies [End Page 116] of nineteenth-century mercantile families in Brazil and the Atlantic world, and their connections with Baltimore and the Confederation migration. This book sparked Marcus's study, not unlike certain promotional literature, discussed in chapter 2, that stirred several thousand former Confederates to look south to Brazil for a new home. The introduction lays out the framework for the study. Five key aspects are identified: the Baltimore mercantile connection; the role of Protestant missionaries; the importance of propaganda; the influence of "scientific" (positivist) thought among Brazilian elites; and the inducements offered to new immigrants by the Brazilian government. Marcus offers an overview of the previous scholarship. A few geographers precede him, including Mark Jefferson (1928) and Confederado descendant Cyrus "Sonny" B. Dawsey (1995), but largely it has been historians or descendant memorialists. Theoretical guides include migration theory and place and mobility studies, with nods to Cresswell, Tuan, and Wright. But the main emphases and strengths are empirical: who, what, when, and how...

Leah Hampton

Leah Hampton Annie Frazier (bio) Leah Hampton's first book, F*ckface and Other Stories, was released in July 2020. The twelve powerful, funny, tragic, and surprising stories are set in towns across the Appalachian South—from Western North Carolina to Eastern Kentucky to West Virginia to Tennessee and beyond—and are populated with complex and complicating modern Southern characters who shoulder through precarious and devastating circumstances, often in darkly humorous and [End Page 60] subtly rebellious ways. Through these characters Hampton—originally from Eastern Kentucky—interrogates the Appalachian South, what it means to be from here, what it means to love this place. The sense of natural beauty in these modern mountain stories is lush and reverent, and the dual threats of climate change and industry feature prominently. On a sunny day in November, Hampton and emerging fiction writer Annie Frazier met via Zoom for a pandemic-friendly conversation about Hampton's work. This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity. _____ ANNIE FRAZIER: You live here in Western North Carolina, and I gather your family comes partly from Eastern Kentucky. Can you talk to me about what draws you to write about this region and its people, and what importance place holds for you in general as a writer? LEAH HAMPTON: What draws me to write about this region is, yeah, I have a lot of family connection to it, and also I don't know how you can live here and not create something. I often wonder about people who live here—is there anyone who doesn't then take up pottery or start painting or...? It's the kind of place where you want to create. I just feel really compelled to write about it because I live in a naturally beautiful area. But also because the history is so important to me—I'm a history buff—and because of the complexity of it. It's a misunderstood place, and often a marginalized place, and I find that really interesting. So it's just this perfect storm of beauty and complexity and marginalization that makes it a really good subject, especially for fiction, but for any art. [End Page 61] Click for larger view View full resolution Leah Hampton photo: Carrie Hachadurian [End Page 62] I think I'm of the Ron Rash school when it comes to place. I think people are defined by their topography. I think it affects us unconsciously—consciously, too. A lot of the characters in the book are being acted upon by the land, whether they realize it or not, and I think that's very common for a lot of people. You don't realize how much you're affected by the geography of the space that you live in until you really start to examine it. That's really interesting to me. I think if I lived anywhere, I would be writing about the place where I lived. AF: Your stories cover so much ground when it comes to the damage being inflicted on these mountains by climate change, pollution, and industry. Talk to me about what environmentalism means to you and how you've twined it into these stories. LH: My first job out of high school was working for Greenpeace, and in my younger days I was quite an eco-warrior—I mean, I wasn't, like, capturing whaling ships or anything. But I was a fundraiser and I worked for the Blue Ridge Parkway and for the National Parks and Conservation Association, things like that. And that was where I learned about a lot about this area specifically. But it's also where I learned about editing, because I had to do a lot of grant writing and stuff like that, so it was this really important apprenticeship in how the world works, and it wound up being important to me professionally and personally. I've always cared about those things and I've always been interested in nature; I love to hike. And I did my undergrad in history, and some graduate work—I really love to study history. Also I'm a very political person. I ran for local office...

Analysis of the impact of socio-economic problems in rural area on agricultural education

The article evaluates the results of scientific research on the specific features of the formation of qualified labor resources in the agricultural sector. The results of the study conducted by a group of experts from the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia and the SRI Higher School of Economics with the participation of the author in 2017 are compared with the results of similar studies in the period 2018-2020. The article reveals the existing close relationship between social problems in rural areas and the lack of interest in graduates of specialized agricultural higher educational institutions in job placement in their specialty. The work analyzes the negative impact of short industrial practice of students on the agricultural education quality and assesses the consequences of the lack of a modern technological base for conducting practical training in many higher educational institutions, which leads to the unreadiness of graduates for independent work. The possible ways of finding a balance of interests between the regional administration, higher agricultural educational institution, students and business are considered on the example of the activities of the Omsk State Agrarian University named after P.A. Stolypin. The article also highlights the problems in the field of education and obtaining new competencies faced by representatives of peasant (farm) households. In conclusion, proposals are made to solve the urgent problems of agricultural education. Basic provisions: - the job placement of graduates of higher educational institutions in agricultural enterprises is negatively affected by the social problems of the village; - graduates of agricultural universities do not meet the expectations of employers, as educational institutions do not provide sufficient practical knowledge and skills due to the lack of orientation for the practical activities of future specialists; - for representatives of peasant (farm) households, distance education forms and the availability of highly qualified consultants in the field of digital technologies and product promotion are necessary.

Analysis of Contemporary College Students’ Employment Model Based on Logit Model and Machine Learning

With the emergence of Internet big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other new technologies, employment positions have also undergone profound changes. Small, medium and micro enterprises, new business forms and new models put forward new requirements for employment services in Colleges and universities. Starting from the current situation of College Students’ employment, this paper analyzes the reasons for the difficulty of College Students' employment and discusses how to solve the problem. In view of the group differences in the employment of college graduates, this paper puts forward some countermeasures and suggestions to speed up the development of service industry and promote employment, formulates the long-term strategy for the development of talent training institutions, and constructs an advanced account management system for college students. This paper analyzes the students' self-concept from the aspects of social needs, the change mode of school cultural concept and the lack of professional development. On the issue of College Students' employment, this paper analyzes the characteristics of College Students' employment and the needs of employers with the employment supply and demand as the main line. The results show that up to 26% of the graduates work in enterprises and at least 14% in administrative organs.

Graduate Education during COVID-19 Pandemic: Inputs to Policy Formulation in the New Normal

This qualitative research describes the experiences of Filipino graduate students as they continue with their schooling during the COVID-19 pandemic. Particular challenges faced are related to technology and internet access. As graduate work is expected to be about research tasks, subscribing to paid resources is seen as an issue. It is also crucial to recognize how the experience has caused stress for students. The experienced challenges are resolved by augmenting students’ technological capacity, realigning personal values and perspectives, and resorting to free and open access journals to sustain research activities. The COVID-19 experience has taught graduate students the importance of technology, the significance of revisiting one’s values, and the reflection on their quest to finish their graduate studies. Lastly, assistance to graduate students can be done by proactively offering infrastructure assistance, socio-emotional support, and institutionalizing responsive and flexible communication mechanisms.
