METHODICAL FEATURES OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SYMMETRY AND ASYMMETRY BASED ON STEM EDUCATION

The authors analyze the concept of symmetry and asymmetry in the process of teaching physics in technical institutions of higher education. The relationship between symmetry and asymmetry in the process of teaching physics based on STEM technologies is revealed. The use of fundamental ideas of physics (for example, symmetry and asymmetry) taking into account STEM technologies is highlighted. The interrelation of symmetry and conservation laws about their fundamentality is clarified; the technique of the integrated approach of physics and disciplines of the professionally-oriented profile, on an example of studying cosmetic loadings, is presented. It was found that the formation of independent cognitive-exploratory activities of students should use physics problems with consideration of fundamental concepts, such as symmetry caused by the development of motives, cognitive interest and scientific thinking and the acquisition of professional competencies. The demonstration of engineering and technical component of STEM education and development of methods of studying disciplines taught to students of technical institutions of higher education, taking into account the integrated approach and interdisciplinary links, is relevant. The transition to STEM training requires improving the methodology of teaching physics in terms of integrated, systematic, professionally-oriented approaches, which includes: the use of new methods, techniques, teaching aids that would help solve several methodological problems; application and introduction in the educational process of physics of interesting and important scientific achievements, as well as strengthening those aspects that stimulate and intensify the independent cognitive activity of students of technical institutions of higher education. It is established that to improve the quality of teaching physics in future technical specialists it is necessary to systematically improve the methodology of educational and cognitive activities, and more widely apply STEM-learning technologies, which leads to productive mental and practical activities of students in the process of mastering educational material. In the future, work on the study of this problem can be carried out in the following areas: development of a new approach to changing the structure and content of working curricula, improving the content and system of teaching physics taking into account STEM technologies, strengthening the connection between the teaching of physics course and the professional orientation of students of non-physical specialities of technical universities in the context of STEM education.

Foreign language communication has become essential in modern scientists’ academic activity and includes such components as learning a foreign language as a way of mastering a specialty and as a means of professional interaction. English is regarded as a tool of young scholars’ self-education which significantly increases their professional chances to find themselves within the international scientific environment. The aim of the article is to study the essence and tasks of the English language disciplines taught at a post-graduate school at a higher technical educational institution. The main purpose of studying a foreign language at a post-graduate school of Odessa National Academy of Food Technologies is the foreign language communicative competence formation depending on the specialty, i.e. achieving the level of practical language proficiency that allows to be used in professional and scientific research. The ultimate tasks of the disciplines are the following: formation and improvement of professionally significant foreign language communication skills in all types of speech activity (reading, speaking, listening, writing); extension of the vocabulary required for postgraduate students to carry out scientific and occupational activities in accordance with their specialization and areas of science; development of independent work skills to increase the level of the foreign language knowledge; development of skills to deal with the world English-language information resources on a specialty profile to be ready to make up written (abstracts, summaries, theses, articles, motivation letters) and oral scientific reports; mastering the norms of the English speech and written etiquette in professional and scientific fields. The foreign language curriculum at a post-graduate school presupposes that by the end of the study a young scientist is to master all the types of the speech foreign language activity. In terms of the structure and content, the post-graduate English language course is based on original English and American sources (journal scientific publications, the latest investigations news, the Internet, etc.). Thus, the necessary language skills and abilities to possess various types of speech activity and translation are upgraded. With the help of the same educational materials the necessary phonetic, lexical and grammatical knowledge is improved, expanded and deepened. The performance control is carried out at the lectures in the form of home assignments, grammar and lexical tasks, written tests, presentations, essays, etc. Summarizing all the above mentioned, we can draw a conclusion that the post-graduate English teaching content is aimed at developing communicative competence in order to learn a professional foreign language at the level sufficient for academic communication within the international scientific environment. In the future it is planned to research the method of independent students’ mastering the skills of English for specific purposes during their postgraduate studies.

Features of translation of various emphatic constructions in the technical text

This article discusses various types of emphatic constructions and emphatic intensifiers, characteristic of the English language and frequently found in scientific texts, as well as their translation options from English into Russian. The concept of emphatic constructions, widely used in linguistics in general, is defined. The term «emphasis» is understood by linguists as a natural phenomenon of emotionally colored speech. Differentiation between such concepts as expressiveness and emotionality is carried out. The ways of conveying expressiveness through emotional or logical intensification of speech with the help of morphological, syntactic and word-formation forms of language are considered. The features and methods of translating emphatic constructions from English into Russian are analyzed, taking into account the use of lexical, grammatical and lexicogrammatical language tools. The difficulties of translating emphatic constructions that students of technical higher educational institutions may encounter when translating technical texts are described. Examples of the use of various emphatic constructions and emphatic intensifiers in scientific texts in the field of mechanical engineering are given, including such constructions as inversion, conditional sentences of the second and third types, constructions with double negation, the use of emphatic do. Students of technical higher educational institutions are given recommendations on the options for translating emphatic constructions and emphatic intensifiers from English into Russian, the correctness of the rendering of which affects the adequacy of the translation and is of direct importance for the most complete and accurate representation of the original text in the target language

ARCHIVAL SOURCES ON PEDAGOGICAL TRAINING OF TEACHERS OF HIGHER TECHNICAL EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS OF THE UKRAINIAN SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLIC

The purpose of the article is to conduct a source analysis of archival documents of the State Archives of the Dnipropetrovsk region in order to determine their information capabilities for historical and pedagogical research. The use of historical and logical methods in the course of the study allowed us to move away from everything secondary and to distinguish the essential characteristics of the process under consideration. The application of the system method, in combination with the principle of comprehensiveness and complexity, made it possible to identify general and specific aspects of the studied archival funds, taking into account their place in the structure of the State Archives of the Dnipropetrovsk region and identify multifaceted links with other archival funds. The method of functional analysis in combination with the principle of origin provided the identification of the relationship between the functions of fundraisers and documentary information of the funds formed by them. Analyzed archival documents indicate the importance of using archival sources in historical and pedagogical research. The author claims that archival documents allow to “reconstruct” the historical environment, analyze causal links, determine the influence of party-state structures on the activities of higher educational institutions, and understand not only the level of training of scientific and pedagogical staff but also the ratio of disciplines and teachers of humanities and technical fields. Thus, the source analysis of archival documents of the State Archives of Dnipropetrovsk region helped to identify the main trends that accompanied the process of pedagogical training teachers of higher technical educational institutions of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.
