ФОРМУВАННЯ ДОСЛІДНИЦЬКИХ УМІНЬ У ЗДОБУВАЧІВ ПОЧАТКОВОЇ ОСВІТИ НА ІНТЕГРОВАНИХ УРОКАХ «Я ДОСЛІДЖУЮ СВІТ»

The article notes that the New Ukrainian School in the conditions of reform needs a competent teacher, ready for the comprehensive implementation of integrated, competency, activity and personal-oriented approaches to teaching primary education. Successful self-realization and self-expression of the future citizen's personality in the information society of the XXI century largely depends on such a teacher. The renewal of professional training of future teachers becomes especially relevant and timely, given the formation of integration competence in them as a necessary component of the professional activity of modern NUS teachers, as the traditional organization of professional training of primary school teachers in the formation of the studied phenomenon occurs spontaneously. The paper notes that the peculiarities of acquaintance of primary school students with the world around them are due to their age. Their source of knowledge about nature and society is the environment. The formation of ideas and concepts about the objects of the surrounding reality takes place in the lessons «I explore the world» and continues during excursions, walks in the close relationship of children's educational activities with play. The cognitive interests of primary school students are especially evident in situations where they observe a change in an object or phenomenon, when you can demonstrate your life experience, share interesting information with others. It is at this time that the task of establishing cause-and-effect relationships in nature and in public life can be introduced into the educational process. It is stated that the teacher should control the assimilation by students of the connections given in the textbook, and direct and support the desire of students to establish connections between objects and phenomena in new, previously unfamiliar situations. When planning a lesson, the teacher identifies the cause-and-effect relationships of natural phenomena, determines the purpose of the lesson, selects educational material, which will highlight the main links and determine the methods of their study. The outlined positions are quite fully presented in the author's textbooks «Methods of teaching natural, civic and historical educational fields in primary school» and «Modern technologies of teaching natural, civic and historical educational fields in primary school». Key words: bio(eco)ethical activity of the primary school teacher, bio(eco)ethics, future specialists of the primary school, younger pupils, practical psychologist, behavior of a younger student.

Cultivating STEM Interest in High School Students through Computer-assisted COVID-19 Pandemic Awareness Course

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, students were sidetracked by the shift in the educational process, primarily in the field of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) education. Teachers were also besieged to find sustainable teaching solutions. During this chaos, many were subjected to various rumors and misinformation about the pandemic. Hence, we aimed to design a 3 week long computer-assisted STEM-based health awareness course. The course was designed and delivered to twenty high school students in various public schools in Qatar. The course creators utilized various innovative computer-based educational tools to involve and motivate students. In addition, students attended several synchronous and asynchronous sessions with experts in different fields to gain a better awareness of the crisis. A feedback mechanism was also operated to assess the effectiveness of the course delivery. The results revealed a 100% retention rate. The student questionnaire survey result showed higher post-test scores on pandemic awareness. A SWOT analysis depicted the strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the executed course. Thereby, we successfully investigated the effectiveness of the STEM-integrated pedagogical approach through the learning outcomes of the student’s awareness of the course.

Domain-specific and activity-related interests of secondary school students. Longitudinal trajectories and their relations to achievement

The development of and interplay between secondary school students' individual interests and achievement were investigated using the example of chemistry education. In a two-cohort study with yearly measurement occasions (Grade 6–8, N = 580, Mage = 11.6 years in Grade 6; Grade 9–11; N = 473, Mage = 14.7 years in Grade 9), we assessed both students' domain-specific and activity-related interests. While measurement invariance could not be established for students' domain-specific interest, results based on multi-group latent change score modeling indicate a rather stable pattern of cross-lagged effects between activity-related interests and achievement within and across cohorts. Significant cross-effects were only found for interests in activities that imply a closer association to cognitive activation and communication of knowledge. These findings extend research pertaining to the longitudinal interplay between interest and achievement and indicate the opportunity to counteract the often reported decline of interest, especially in STEM subjects.

EMPLOYMENT OF A SET OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS AS A WAY TO PROBLEMATIZE AND MOTIVATE THE TEACHING OF PHYSICS IN HIGH SCHOOL

Physics, like the teaching of natural sciences, is fundamental for scientific and technological development. Although of fundamental importance to society, there is a significant lack of interest in high school students. This study aimed to develop and apply a strategy that involved a “game of questions and answers” to introduce the study of mechanics in a differentiated and more attractive way for students. For example, when talking about strengths, common sense is very ingrained, and it becomes complex to promote conceptual change in young apprentices. The game was used as a problematization to create an environment of need to search for new knowledge to face situations and answer questions. The proposal was applied to a second-year high school class at a private school in Porto Alegre. The sample consisted of thirty-three students aged between fifteen and seventeen, divided between eighteen girls and fifteen boys. The application was made during regular classes. The game was born from the need to create students with a willingness and predisposition to seek knowledge and transform their thinking about physics. The formulation of questions and answers was designed to make minimal subunits to search fora new experience. Through the students' responses, it was possible to observe that the degree of satisfaction was relatively high and that they liked the game itself and the change in the classic and plastered form that the content was worked on.
