READINESS OF TEACHERS OF GEOGRAFHY OF SPECIAL SCHOOLS IN SLOVAK REPUBLIC TO USE THE ELECTRONIC MANUAL WITH IT SUPPORT

The purpose of the article is to highlight the level of readiness of teachers of geography of special schools of the Slovak Republic (on the example of 14 of special and inclusive education institutions of the Košice Region) to the use of an electronic didactic manual on IT support. Teachers of the Department of Special Pedagogy of the Pedagogical Faculty of the Catholic University in Ruzomberok together with teachers of the geography of special schools prepared an electronic didactic manual on IT support taking into account modern requirements to the level of knowledge, abilities and psychophysical capabilities of school children with special education needs. The manual has helped to raise the level of geographical learning among school children of special school. The convincing results of the pedagogical experiment are described in the previous article «Using a didactic tool with IT-support for teaching geography in a special school in Slovakia». However, in the course of studying the question the researchers concluded that success in the work depends on the level of readiness of the teacher for this work. Namely, the presence of interest and motivation to the introduction of innovative forms of training for the subjects of the education process the attitude of the teacher to the organization of the education process, the level of professional training (possession of the means and technologies of training). To obtain objective and unbiased results Google Form has conducted a survey of teachers of geography. The first set of questions – the reference one – provided an opportblocky to explain the answers of the second set of questions – the informative one. The statistical processing of the survey results supports the assumption that the quality of the IT-supported e-manual is largely dependent on the teacher’s readiness. The results also show that the majority of teachers of geography surveyed are well aware of the benefits of this teaching tool and are now ready to put the manual into practice. However, due to the rapid progress in the use of information and communication technologies the teachers of special schools do not deny the need to improve their professional knowledge of the use of ICT in postgraduate teacher training.

Predictors of health workers' knowledge of maternal and perinatal deaths surveillance and response system in Morogoro region, Tanzania: An analytical cross-sectional study.

This study aimed at assessing the predictors of knowledge about the Maternal and Perinatal Deaths Surveillance and Response (MPDSR) system among health workers in the Morogoro region. It was an analytical cross-sectional study, conducted from April 27 to May 29, 2020. A multistage sampling technique was used to recruit 360 health workers. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS v.20) software was used for data entry and analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess factors associated with knowledge of MPDSR. A total of 105 (29.2%) health workers in the Morogoro region had adequate knowledge of the MPDSR system. After controlling for confounders, predictors of knowledge on the MPDSR system were the level of health facility a health worker was working (n [hospital [adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.668 at 95% confidence intervals [CI] = 1.497-4.753, P = .001]), level of education of a health worker (diploma [AOR = 0.146 at 95% CI = 0.038-0.561, P = .005]), and status of training on MPDSR (trained [AOR = 7.253 at 95% CI = 3.862-13.621, P ≤ .001]). The proportion of health workers with adequate knowledge about the MPDSR system in the Morogoro region is unacceptably low. Factors associated with adequate knowledge were those working in hospitals with higher levels of professional training and those who had ever had training in MPDSR. A cost-effective strategy to improve the level of knowledge regarding MPDSR in this region is highly recommended.

PECULIARITIES OF OPTIMIZATION OF TEACHING MATHEMATICS TO STUDENTS OF ECONOMIC SPECIALTIES IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

In the article, the author studies the peculiarities of optimizing the teaching of mathematics to students of economic specialties in higher education institutions. It has been found that teaching mathematics to students of economic specialties is accompanied by a number of problems, in particular, the subject area, the peculiarities of the modern educational environment and the social context. Some students do not show sufficient interest and do not realize the importance of mathematics in professional activities. Low motivation leads to the lack of concentration in the classroom and worsening the outcomes. The quality of mathematics education is negatively affected by the lack of a sufficient level of students’ basic mathematical knowledge. They may not understand real economic scenarios of future professional activities and have difficulty using mathematical concepts to model and analyze real economic situations. Some mathematical concepts and categories, such as differential equations or statistics, can be difficult to understand and apply in the context of complex economic models.Optimization of teaching means bringing this process to a state that ensures the achievement of goals in accordance with the requirements for the content and level of professional training of students, taking into account their interests and capabilities in conditions of limited use of time and effort resources. The main ways to optimize mathematics teaching are: use of specific economic examples and tasks to explain mathematical concepts, because learning can be more effective if students see how they can use mathematics in their future economic activities; integrating teaching with economic models and mathematical concepts so that students can see the use of math in analyzing economic phenomena; use of computer and specialized programs for visualization of mathematical concepts and their use in economic issues; introduction of interactive online resources to facilitate the learning process; active use of applied tasks, inclusion in the curriculum of tasks that require the use of math skills to solve specific economic problems, etc.

Toolkit for creating a safety culture for future railway workers

JSC ‟Russian Railways” is carrying out comprehensive work to reduce injuries to zero, including by increasing the level of professional training of employees. Safety culture as a derivative of the international movement Vision Zero, has become an important part of the occupational safety management system in Russian Railways and has radically changed the approach to the identification and prevention of injuries in railway transport. Students of transport technical schools and universities should join the Vision Zero international movement at the stage of education, that is, much earlier than the actual start of work. To do this, it is proposed to introduce a system of annual labor protection months in educational institutions, which will become the basis for the formation of a safety culture. Conducting such months gives the student the opportunity to take part in them for several years in a row, at the beginning of training to a greater extent as a listener and spectator, but at senior courses, to act as a lecturer, organizer and participate in more significant events.Constant work on the formation of a ‟correct” understanding of the importance of compliance with the safety standards and rules of future railway workers will become the basis for the eradication of injuries due to unfair compliance with the requirements of labor protection instructions.

КРЕАТИВНЕ ЛІДЕРСТВО В ОРГАНАХ ДЕРЖАВНОЇ ВЛАДИ: МЕНЕДЖМЕНТ-МАРКЕТИНГОВИЙ ПІДХІД

The article deals with the theoretical and methodological trends of leadership in the conditions of martial law, the influence of leadership qualities on digitization and their advantages in modern society. The need to activate the creative basis of business structures is substantiated. The essence of creativity in the general sense and in the production activity of the enterprise is clarified. The need to activate the creative basis of business structures is substantiated. The essence of creativity in the general sense and in the production activity of the enterprise is clarified. The role of the manager in the development of creativity at the enterprise is determined, taking into account the main features that contribute to leadership in creative management. The necessary measures to stimulate the development of creativity and creative abilities of employees are formulated, the factors that contribute to the formation of creative activity of personnel and important conditions for the success of innovative activities in the management of business structures are highlighted. When choosing a management style, the leader must take into account, first of all, the laws of management, which determine the basis of the objective components of the style. Ignorance of laws can only partially be compensated by the art of management. The same applies to the principles (generality, objectivity, obligation) that determine the rules for introducing laws into management practice, serving as guidelines when choosing a style. Today, the principle of decentralization is manifested by democratic leaders during the organization of the implementation of the decisions made. It is implemented in the form of delegation of authority by the leader to subordinates. At this stage, a democratic leader tries to take into account the level of professional training, experience, ambitions, motivation, etc. of his followers as much as possible. By delegating responsible duties to them, he strives to make their performance attractive, satisfying and conducive to personal growth, while achieving success serves as a kind of social reward, strengthens the sense of involvement and personal responsibility for the fate of the organization. Along with responsibilities, the leader delegates to his followers the appropriate authority and resources to fulfill them. Without removing his own responsibility for achieving the defined goals, the leader in the framework of the democratic style of management avoids excessive detailed control over the actions of subordinates. He controls the result, giving subordinates the opportunity to show creativity when determining ways to achieve it. However, when evaluating subordinates, he is guided by objective, tested and well-known criteria that exclude subjectivism or bias.

Оценка работодателями компетенций сотрудников судостроительной, лесной и рыбопромышленной отраслей Архангельской области в контексте развития цифровизации и автоматизации производств

The article is devoted to the study of employers’ perceptions of the competences of employees in the shipbuilding, fishing and forestry industries of the Arkhangelsk Oblast in the context of digitalization and automation of production. As part of the sociological research, the team conducted a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews among representatives of enterprises in these industries. The results of the research allowed drawing conclusions that the professional competencies of employees, as well as abilities to work independently, in non-standard situations and under stress are currently the most in demand for employers. There is also a very high demand for qualities associated with discipline and the desire to develop in the profession. In terms of the size of enterprises, the higher requirement for almost all competences in small and medium-sized enterprises compared to large employers is noteworthy. The authors conclude that about half of the enterprises in the shipbuilding, forestry and fishing industries of the Arkhangelsk Oblast have implemented automation and digitalization into all key production processes. In the near future, more than 50% of employers expect a high demand for employee competencies related to the use of new production technologies. The survey revealed a gap between employers’ expectations and the actual level of professional training and skills of recent graduates of educational institutions of higher and secondary vocational education, including with regard to the most in-demand knowledge, skills and abilities. In the context of industries, it is noteworthy that the level of satisfaction with the training of graduates of shipbuilding industry is much lower, except for those who received education through the “Plant-University” system (Severodvinsk).

Crime in the law enforcement agencies in 1948–1952 and its counteraction

The article reveals the state of crime in the police in 1948–1952, identifies its main manifestations and measures to counteract it. Crime in the police in the post-war years remained an acute and permanent problem. The late 1940s and early 1950s were no exception. This was influenced by the very nature of the totalitarian regime, which was based on violence and violation of the rule of law, the difficult socio-economic situation in the country, as the consequences of the post-war devastation were only beginning to be eliminated, and the low level of professional training and education of a certain number of police officers. For many of them, the perceptions of the state of legality were quite specific, formed mainly under the influence of the events of the war, combined with a tendency to be quick to punish those who were considered criminals and a relatively low level of awareness of the law. All of this has led to the existence of the problem of crime in the law enforcement agencies of the republic, and this problem is still relevant today, both from a theoretical and practical point of view. The most common violations in the police at that time were: alcoholism, abuse of office, connections with criminals, violations of the law during the detention of citizens and the conduct of investigations, failure to comply with orders, bribery, embezzlement, domestic and moral decay, desertion, disclosure of official secrets, unauthorised abandonment of duty, illegal use of weapons and, as a result, injury or killing of citizens, negligence in the performance of official duties, and loss of personal weapons. Most cases of lawbreaking were committed by police officers who were intoxicated. During this period, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Ukrainian SSR took a number of measures to improve the situation: offenders were dismissed from the police and brought to trial, and the leadership of those local police forces with the highest number of such violations was changed. This was done on the basis of an analysis of the flow of investigative cases, inspection of documentation and the state of work of local police bodies in the field of training their personnel.
