Педагогический консерватизм преподавателей вуза

The relevance of the research is due to the need to implement the principle of cooperation and interaction of the subjects of the educational process, and to use the creative approach in the situation of modernizing higher education. The purpose of the research is to identify indicators, criteria, and development factors of university teachers’ pedagogical conservatism. The study hypothesizes that the state of pedagogical conservatism among teachers of higher educational institutions: 1) may be correlated with the level of integral satisfaction with professional activity; 2) indicates the presence of factors contributing to its development. The study participants: the teaching staff of 9 Russian universities (N = 1754, aged from 25 to 65, including 25% of men, 75% of women). The research methods (tools): methodology "Assessment of pedagogical conservatism of teachers of a higher educational institution" (I. B. Avakyan) was used in order to study indicators and criteria of pedagogical conservatism, as well as to identify its development factors, integral job satisfaction test (by A. V. Batarshev) was used to assess the integral indicators of satisfaction of university teachers with their pedagogical activity. Results. The study has revealed the development factors of university teachers’ pedagogical conservatism. These factors comprise psychological unpreparedness for innovative activity, including a set of variables that are presented in the study, and emotional burnout. A positive correlation has been found between a group of indicators of pedagogical conservatism and components of integral satisfaction with pedagogical work (habitual ways of performing the activity and general satisfaction with work). The study has also revealed the inverse (negative) correlation between the other group of pedagogical conservatism indicators and satisfaction with pedagogical activity (low motivation for success and overall job satisfaction). The main conclusions. On the one hand, indicators of pedagogical conservatism contribute to the increase in the level of satisfaction with pedagogical activity, which ensures the preservation of pedagogical experience in conditions of internal psychological balance. On the other hand, they contribute to dissatisfaction with their own activities and to the state of professional stagnation. The obtained results can be used as the basis for systematic psychological and pedagogical support of the university teachers’ professional activities in accordance with educational stan dards.

State of physical education in urban and rural institutions of general secondary education

The quality of training of higher education students in specialty 014 «Secondary Education (Physical Education)» was and remains an important task of the state. The role of a highly qualified physical education teacher in general secondary education institutions is extremely important today. His professional formation begins even before entering a higher educational institution, namely in the walls of a gymnasium, a lyceum, when the motivation to choose a future profession is formed. However, experience shows that the school stage of training entrants to institutes (faculties) of physical culture is not used enough. First-year students have low physical preparedness, which, in turn, makes it difficult to acquire motor skills in various sports. The purpose of the research: studying the state of physical education in urban and rural institutions of general secondary education and determining its role in the training of future teachers. Research methods: analysis and generalization of educational and scientific literature, questionnaires, surveys. Results of the research. In the course of the study, it was found that the physical preparedness and motor skills of 36,4% of students who entered the first year of a higher educational institution in 2022 are insufficient for quality mastery of educational programs. The students did not possess the level of basic knowledge and skills in physical education that needed to be consolidated and improved within the walls of the lyceum, school, and on their basis to acquire new theoretical and methodical knowledge and form more complex skills in various sports. An anonymous questionnaire, in which 66 students took part (36 persons studied in the city, 24 - in the village, 6 - in urban-type settlements), made it possible to identify a number of reasons for insufficient professional preparation of the entrants to the Faculty of Physical Culture, Sports and Health. Conclusions. Among the reasons that slow down the process of obtaining programmatic learning outcomes by students in the specialty 014 «Secondary Education (Physical Education)» are violations in the system of organizing the educational process and methods of teaching sections of the physical education program in general secondary education institutions.

Pedagogical control of the training process of football players in the conditions of an institution of higher education

The article discusses some aspects of the pedagogical control of training process of football players. In particular we studied the content of the training process and the dynamics of indicators which characterize specific speed and coordination, and power-speed abilities of football players of higher education establishment due to the implementation during the preparatory period of annual macrocycle experimental program of special physical training. The purpose of the study is to control the training process, as well as the functional and physical fitness of football players of the student team of the Kyiv National University of Technology and Design in order to identify a rational ratio of physical training during the preparatory period. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological and special literature, pedagogical observation, timing, functional diagnostics, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics. Analysis of the results indicates the presence of reserves for development of physical qualities that determine the effectiveness of competitive activity in football, which determines the need to increase the share of means of high-speed qualities and endurance in the preparatory period of the annual training cycle of football players.

Integration of Digital Twins Technologies in Education for Experiential learning: Benefits and Challenges

In order to provide an immersive and engaging learning environment, digital twins in education are virtual representations of real-world items, settings, or people. From elementary to secondary school to higher education establishments, digital twins can be employed in a variety of educational contexts. For instance, students can imitate scientific experiments that would be hard to execute in the classroom owing to safety issues or a lack of resources, by using digital twins to create virtual versions of the investigations. With the help of digital twins, educators may even plan virtual field trips that let learners travel the globe without ever leaving the classroom. For instance, students might be able to study history, tour of Taj Mahal in Agra in-depth, and even engage with historical personalities through a digital duplicate of the wall. Students can communicate with lecturers or subject matter experts virtually by using digital duplicates to build virtual versions of them. In remote learning environments, where students do not have access to actual classrooms or in-person instructors, this can be especially helpful. This research study discusses the advantages of using digital twin technologies extensively in the educational system, as well as the technological, social, and ethical constraints.

Diffusion of artificial intelligence-based learning innovation; A case study in MTs Muhammadiyah Tawangsari Sukoharjo

Madrasah Tsanawiyah Muhammadiyah Tawangsari is a junior high school level educational institution that bases its curriculum on Islamic principles and progressively applies information technology (IT) on the foundation of Muhammadiyah values. This study aims to determine the process of diffusion of innovation in technology-based learning, focusing on the role of teachers as agents of change in applying artificial intelligence in the context of learning. The research method used was qualitative descriptive, involving in-depth interviews with four teachers who had key roles in introducing the innovation. The results showed that most teachers have received information about the use of artificial intelligence through various socialization activities, workshops, and training. The diffusion of learning innovations in MTs Tawangsari involves various communication channels, including interpersonal communication such as lectures, dialogues, and demonstrations of effective practices; communication through mass media, such as the publication of writings on school websites; and communication through social media, such as Youtube, Instagram, and Facebook. In addition, teachers consider that innovation in post-pandemic learning has significant urgency, with success indicators in the form of increased active student participation in the learning process. In addition, teachers also voiced the need for community platforms and continuous training on artificial intelligence-based learning.

The policy-reality gap of bullying in higher education: implications for HR and managers – a comparative study of Australian and Croatian universities

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between higher educational institution bullying policies and the subsequent cultural impact to determine the effectiveness of policy in ameliorating bullying within the university culture.Design/methodology/approachThis study consisted of two separate but related case studies at two universities in different countries, focussing on university staff. The field work gathered data about existing anti-bullying policy, the extent to which it was part of the organisational culture for staff, and the levels of staff bullying experienced or seen within the organisation. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected.FindingsThe study found that despite one university having significant policy and the other having very little policy, the knowledge of policy in both universities was and subsequent experience of bullying for staff were very similar.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings indicate that anti-bullying policy alone appears to have a limited impact on organisational behaviour. This suggests that the entrenched and historical master/servant relations of academia enable such practices to continue. Policy implementation is insufficient and training and development to generate more inclusive, people-focussed management cultures is necessary to ameliorate bullying behaviour.Practical implicationsThe paper draws on the experiences, critique and suggestions of the study participants to prepare a possible agenda for cultural change that human resource (HR) managers could develop in association with academic and professional managers within their institution.Social implicationsThe findings suggest that in any social setting or organisational structure where strong historical patterns of master/servant endure, the opportunity for bullying behaviours to grow and flourish is fertile and that policy statements alone may have little impact on curtailing such behaviour.Originality/valueThis study makes two contributions to existing knowledge. First, it provides evidence that anti-bullying policy is alone unlikely to have an effective impact on instances of bullying within the culture. Second, the case study contrast displays that unacceptable levels of bullying exist in two very different institutions in two very different cultures. Whilst one country has a war-torn history and the other exists in splendid isolation, the same patterns persist, indicating that universities have structured cultural issues that are difficult to change.

ASYNCHRONOUS AND SYNCHRONOUS СONTENT OF BLENDED LEARNING FOR PROSPECTIVE ENGLISH UNIVERSITY TEACHERS

The architecture of blended learning (BL) in the training of prospective English teachers in higher education establishments was illuminated, particularly emphasizing the synchronous and asynchronous content and learning modes, which are an integral basis for the development of their professionally oriented communicative competence (POCC). A multi-faceted methodological approach – encompassing analysis, synthesis, comparison, and generalization – served as the analytical lens for scrutinizing the extant scientific literature, undertaking categorical evaluations of core concepts, and delineating their interrelations. BL was positioned as a purposeful process of dissemination and assimilation of knowledge, enhancing an array of speech fluency, linguistic understanding, sociocultural awareness, educational and strategic competences, cognitive activities of Master’s degree students. It offers a nuanced hybridization of distance (remote) and traditional (conventional) learning paradigms, effectively enriching the learning process while enabling their independent (self-study) learning. A functional scheme of the content area of BL covers three generic notions and is considered as a multifarious interactive space that serves as a catalyst for educational synergy, fostering holistic interactions between students, teachers, and the curriculum, where two subcategories of asynchronous learning mode are distinguished: collaborative (group-based) and independent (individual-based). The research introduced a pedagogical blueprint encompassing a repertoire of synchronous and asynchronous learning modes that can be configured in the following varieties: synchronous-group, asynchronous-group, synchronous-individual, asynchronousindividual, virtual-synchronous and face-to-face-synchronous.

Application of the criteria-based assessment system to the tasks of developing the functional literacy of students in teaching chemistry

Relevance. Every day, the number of innovations and discoveries is increasing exponentially. At the same time, the current education system is not fully adapted to the realities of the requirements for candidates in the labor market, which is why higher education institutions are not able to produce highly qualified specialists. This paper highlights the shortcomings of the approach to the study of inorganic chemistry by students of higher educational institutions, the main of which are the lack of skills to make decisions, as well as to work with massive amounts of information. Purpose. The purpose of this paper is to modernize the educational process and the knowledge assessment system for students who study inorganic chemistry. Ways to modernize the current knowledge monitoring system were implemented by creating test tasks with a gradual increase in complexity, the so-called �three-dimensional model� of learning. Methodology. As subjects for studying the practical application of this approach, 24 students were selected, 12 people each in the experimental and control groups. The experiment took place as part of the study of the course of inorganic chemistry, which comprised 10 topics. Results. Progress in this discipline was higher among students whose training took place according to the three-dimensional system. At the same time, a holistic concept of knowledge assessment was selected, which maximally excluded any bias on the part of the assessor. Conclusions. Such reforms will help the state to train more specialists who will be able to compete with experts from all over the world, in particular engineers and technologists. All this testifies not only to the expediency of using a combination of these methods for teaching students of the Republic of Kazakhstan, but also to the need for further reform of outdated educational programs not only at the level of one higher educational institution, but also on a global scale.

Влияние систематической холодовой нагрузки на спектральные характеристики тета- и альфа-ритмов ЭЭГ курсантов военного вуза

The study was focused on the features of spectral characteristics of the EEG alpha and theta ranges in the military academy cadets undergoing specific training to improve cold resistance (cold exposure training). The study was aimed to assess the impact of the military academy cadets’ incremental exposure to the graduated cold stress (cold exposure training) on spectral characteristics of the EEG alpha and theta rhythms. Students of the civil higher educational institution and military academy cadets were assessed (58 individuals in total). Cadets underwent a specific program focused on improving cold resistance (cold exposure training). Background EEG in the alpha and theta frequency ranges was recorded. Statistical data processing involved nonparametric comparison using the Mann–Whitney U test. The results were obtained suggesting that there were significant differences in spectral characteristics of alpha and theta rhythms between the group of foreign cadets and the controls. The cold exposure training program was effective in the group of Russian cadets, which had an effect on the cerebral homeostasis stability with some degree of instability of neurodynamic processes in the CNS. In foreign cadets, regular cold exposure training resulted in the pronounced disintegration of cortical-subcortical and intracortical interactions, as well as in the formation of binary alpha-theta structure of background EEG.

THE ROLE OF MENTORING IN FOSTERING THE PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY OF FUTURE TEACHERS

Relevance of the research. Identification of the individual with the chosen profession indicates a significant level of professional growth and readiness to systematically develop, improve professional skills, deepen knowledge, that is, to recognize oneself as part of an important professional process. The description of this phenomenon in the scientific literature is understood as the acquisition of professional identity. A professional identity for future teachers is a guideline that needs to be perceived while studying in a higher educational institution since it shows the teacher’s readiness to work with children and reveals the possible quality result of this work. It is quite difficult to acquire a professional identity through independent self-development; consequently, the support and assistance of a teacher or a mentor is of particular importance in this case. The purpose of the research is to reveal the role of mentoring in the formation of future teachers’ professional identity. The research methods are as follows: theoretical (analysis, synthesis, generalization), empirical (sociological survey, description), generalization. The academic paper is focused on revealing the specifics of the formation of future teachers’ professional identity and analyzing the role of a mentor as a coach, advisor, and professional friend for future teachers. The research analyzes approaches to the interpretation of the concept of a mentor and mentoring as a process, as well as related concepts such as a coach, a tutor, and a facilitator. The understanding of the phenomenon of mentoring in Western European scientific thinking has been characterized. The primary focus of the academic paper is on the reformation of Ukrainian education, the New Ukrainian School Concept, and the importance of mentoring at the current stage of educational transformation.The research results emphasize that the functions of a mentor for future teachers are indispensable and important. According to the survey, the majority of respondents indicate that they are willing to seek help from their mentors and can become such mentors for junior students. Conclusions. The academic paper proves that professional identification is an important personal formation that characterizes a high level of professionalism of a specialist, in particular, a teacher. The function and role of mentoring is a way for future teachers to achieve professional identity. The survey conducted among master’s students confirms the importance of mentoring for future teachers in general and for acquiring professional identity. A mentor has to concentrate on working with students from the beginning of their studies and progressively take on a more involved role by the end of their final year in order to be effective in carrying out these duties.

STUDY OF PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF LEARNING STRESS IN STUDENTS

The degree of influence of stressors on our body can be different: from mild excitement in anticipation of, say, a trip on vacation, to a severe psychosomatic disorder of post-traumatic stress. In any case of manifestation of stress, it affects all components of our individuality (individuality itself), such as memory, thinking, language, emotional and volitional sphere. However, this does not mean that stress is only evil, trouble, it is also the most important tool for training and hardening a person, since stress helps to increase the resistance of the psyche and the body in general, training its adaptive mechanisms. Stress is our faithful ally in continuous adaptation to any changes in the environment. For some students, student life is associated with student societies, communication with interesting people, various activities and fun. For others, it is a serious test, a life change, a difficult life situation to which it is necessary to adapt. Students are young and face various problems, new learning conditions require more independence, responsibility, self-organization, and not all students are ready to solve numerous problems and tasks. Which gives life. In any case, studying at a higher educational institution is stressful for many students. The student needs to overcome difficulties, master new roles and modify old ones, adapt to new life conditions.
 There is a lot of evidence that chronic stress is a companion of student life. Researchers note that the causes of stress in students are related to problems of finances, housing, security, etc. The stress experienced by students can affect learning (acquiring, applying, and processing knowledge), which hinders academic performance. Problems with academic performance also create discomfort, as a result of which general stress increases.

Factors Influencing the Positive Thinking of the Future Teacher

The article is devoted to the analysis of scientific literature on the problem under study, positive psychology and socio-psychological problems of the formation of a positive mood in professional activity. Research objectives: to determine factors influencing positive thinking among future teachers and to analyze psychological problems. Research materials and methods: analysis of statements by scientist psychologists about positive thinking and psychological problems such as tension, hopelessness, lack of self-esteem, conflict at work, self-flagellation, painful emotions, poor health, dissatisfaction with oneself as a subject of education, the presence of constant negative thoughts, lack of optimism. Research results: the basis for positive thinking of a future teacher is the ability to evaluate negativity through the prism of optimism and constructiveness. Conclusions: the development of positive thinking of a future teacher during the period of study at a higher educational institution depends on the dynamics of certain characteristics.

Structural models of forming an integrated information and educational system “quality management of higher and postgraduate education”

The study examines the design of an information and educational System for quality education management. The requirements for the information environment of universities are formulated. The delineation of distinct stages in the technological process for shaping the values of information objects is outlined, achieved through the execution of information procedures. These procedures generate a technologically comprehensive product applicable within the university context. A set of heterogeneous systems for automating university activities makes obtaining integral characteristics based on information from different sources difficult. The research suggests an approach that allows you to get rid of the disadvantage. The introduction of an integrated information environment has been reviewed. To implement the information system “quality Management of Higher and Postgraduate Education,” a conceptual model of the system architecture and a logical structure was developed. The developed information model was based on the model of a complex information and educational environment of a higher educational institution and the Ontological model of the database of the integrated information and educational environment. The preliminary results of the pilot implementation of the system in the activities of Astana IT University are summarized, which made it possible to improve the quality management of the educational process.
