Concept of knowledge boxes – a tool for professional development for learning and support assistants

By supporting children with disabilities, learning and support assistants have become an essential component of inclusive education in regular schools. Assistants in European countries have various levels of vocational training, but they do not consider themselves to be adequately qualified for what are often highly demanding duties. In an attempt to raise standards, five web-based knowledge boxes have been developed within the Erasmus+ project, ‘Improving Assistance in Inclusive Educational Settings II’. The knowledge boxes are available open access through a learning platform and focus on different aspects of inclusion and disabilities. Learning and support assistants, as well as children from five different European countries, participated in the creation of this tool for professional development. In addition, the knowledge boxes are to be evaluated by assistants, parents, teachers and students in order to assess the impact of the knowledge boxes on the competencies in inclusive education of assistants.

System Analysis of the Future Educators’ Psychological and Pedagogical Training Experience

It is established that the integration of the higher education of Ukraine to the European educational space is connected to the problems of vocational education system reformation in order with the international requirements. It was determined that an effective way to implement the requirements to the future specialists' professional qualities is to diversify their professional training as well as to create and provide conditions for a positive synergy with the aim to ensure scientific character, conformity to culture, fundamentals, humanization, consistency, innovation, accessibility, unity and accessibility, continuity and diversity training for applicants. The research work deals with the terminological aspects of future specialists’ psychological and pedagogical training in higher education institutions. The essential analysis of vocational training teachers’ psychological and pedagogical training is based on the unity of pedagogical theory and practice and considers contextual education and upbringing, based on the laws and mechanisms of pedagogical creativity. The analysis of scientific works, published up till now by domestic and foreign researchers, made us come to the conclusions that one of the reasons for the backwardness of the students' psychological and pedagogical training is a low level of pedagogical science development, inflexibility of educational programs, fragmented courses, lack of practical orientation. Development of requirements for the training of vocational teachers, with sectorial and integrated psychological and pedagogical components, is a priority now. The main task of higher vocational education is to prepare teachers who are ready for the organization and implementation of fundamental, technical and vocational training in practice at all levels of vocational education: vocational schools, technical schools, colleges, professional lyceums and gymnasiums, etc. The research work analyzes the terminology and clarifies the concepts “training”, “vocational teacher training”, “general pedagogical training” and “psycho-pedagogical training of future specialists in pedagogical institutions”.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE LIFE EXPECTANCY AT BIRTH OF THE RURAL POPULATION IN RUSSIA

The article addresses the issues of low life expectancy of the rural population in Russia. The purpose of the study is modeling the factors affecting the life expectancy at birth of rural population in the Russian Federation. A regression equation of the factors affecting the life expectancy at birth of the rural population was tested. The database was created for 78 regions of Russia on the basis of statistical indicators presented by the Federal State Statistics Service of Russian Federation. The results show that the high rate of unemployment, poverty, and social inequality, as well as, high levels of alcohol consumption, and criminaliza-tion of rural areas, have significant negative impact on life expectancy of rural population. We find that the level of vocational education, the quality of housing and quality and availability of medical care have significant positive impact on life expectancy of the rural population. This study identified statistically significant economic, social and behavioral factors affecting the life expectancy of the rural population in Rus-sia. Selected statistically significant factors explain 83% of differences in life ex-pectancy at birth of rural population in Russia. The value of the F-test, which char-acterizes the reliability of the regression equation, is greater than the tabulated value for a given number of degrees of freedom for the model, and the probability of obtaining this value does not exceed the permissible level of significance in 5%. Our findings have significant policy implications for the rural development in Rus-sia and can be applicable to other countries. The results of this study can help the policy makers to implement suitable policy measures to extend the life expectancy in rural Russia.

DIGTYARI WEAVING PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL IN 1926-1929

For the first time, the activity of the weaving vocational school in the village Digtyari (modern Chernihiv region) is analyzed. It was the leading educational institution of the middle level of vocational education of the Ukrainian SSR in the second half of the 1920s, in which the creators of traditional textiles studied. The students learned the skills of making carpets, embroidered shirts, and kerchiefs. On the basis of archival sources, the histories, educational process, composition of the teaching and student groups of the school during 1926-1929 are covered. Established in the fall of 1926, the institution was to train qualified master practitioners for the factory and handicraft arts industry, who had formed an artistic taste. The teaching staff initially consisted of local general education teachers and visiting instructors and teachers of special subjects (O. Reisfeld and M. Dyachenko). The institution was headed by uneducated communists Yu. Kozelev and S. Lutayenko. The students of the first set were mostly non-locals, orphans. But the second set already consisted mostly of children of local peasants and artisans. The school had a significant material base, which remained from the textile educational institutions that operated in Digtyary during the first quarter of the twentieth century. The main rooms were located on the right-wing of the main building of the palace complex of the Galagan estate. As a result of the study of the materials of the minutes of the meetings of the school council, the conflict situations that constantly arose between the managers and their supporters and visiting specialists and led to the departure of the latter from Digtyary were analyzed. The initial stage of the existence of the Digtyari weaving professional school, problems in relations between staff, and the originality of the contingent of the first set of students influenced the quality of their training. As it is clear from the available sources, during the first and the beginning of the second school year students worked both theoretically and practically, but due to lack of raw materials they could not produce a significant amount of full-fledged products. The school’s workshop worked on “factory” and, in part, “peasant” raw materials. At the end of the second year of study, students were already making work suitable for sale. The school operated in two directions. The visiting instructor, an experienced artist M. Dyachenko brought a new vision of teaching graphic literacy into the educational process. Weaving and embroidery instructors who either graduated from the textile schools previously existing in Digtyary (A. Reisfeld, V. Nikolskaya) or worked there for a long time (G. Tsybuleva) broadcast local traditions. During the years under study, about 100 students studying at the institution, and one graduation took place. Troubles in the personal relationship between teachers and school management and insufficient funding have affected the quality of education. But even in such conditions, students not only mastered special and general education subjects but also participated in exhibitions, made marketable products, engaged in research work. Curricula developed by M. Dyachenko and O. Reisfeld became a model for other craft educational institutions. And the textbook was written by O. Reisfeld - the first Ukrainian-language textbook on the technology of folk weaving. Keywords: Digtyari weaving professional school, Mykhaylo Dyachenko, Pryluky region.

Анализ опыта работы ведущих вузов России по проблеме использования силовых упражнений в процессе физического воспитания студентов специальных медицинских групп

The research analyzes strength training practices of Russia’s leading universities in the physical education of students of special medical groups. According to the modern Federal State Education Standards of Higher Education, the development of students’ physical fitness is a strategic task at every level of vocational education. A modern gra-duate should possess general cultural competence in the field of a healthy lifestyle and know the ways to preserve and promote health; be able to follow socially signi-ficant ideas about a healthy lifestyle and adhere to it; have skills in the field of sports and fitness activities and be self-organized in this regard. Strength training has the most effective impact on students’ locomotor system. However, such training sessions can be applied to fully healthy people. This problem is particularly acute in an inclusive education environment. For this reason, it is necessary to employ the methods that allow one to take into account the peculiarities of students assigned to special medical groups. The paper focuses on various techniques that have been applied to students with impaired health. The authors analyze strength training practices used by Russian university teachers when training students of a special medical group. The techniques of the following universities have been investigated: Omsk State Medical University, Astrakhan State University, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration and other universities of the Russian Federation. The analysis makes it possible to determine that alternating strength training with mobility exercises and joint gymnastics is a relevant trend in further development of the authors’ techniques of physical education for students of special medical groups during vocational training at a university.

Vocational Pedagogies for the Formation and Training of Early Childhood Educators: Perspectives of VET Lecturers and Level 5 Early Years Learners

This paper examines the kind of pedagogical approaches used in Higher Vocational Education, more specifically initial training programmes for early-years practitioners, from the perspectives of both VET lecturers and students currently involved or enrolled in these programmes. The focus is on understanding the ways in which the pedagogical models and tools adopted carefully match the requirements for the successful formation of early-years professionals. More specifically, this paper seeks to explore and understand the factors that influence the vocational pedagogical strategies used, the extent to which these pedagogies are learner-centred, the opportunities and challenges that Higher VET lecturers experience in their classrooms when embracing pedagogical innovation, the benefits for learners, as well as the impact on the quality of the training provided. Adopting a grounded theory methodology, with the aim of building theoretical ideas grounded in the data, two main data collection methods were used: one-to-one semi-structured interviews with a group of VET lecturers and a focus group with a group of Level 5 early-years learners who at the time of the study were in the process of completing the two-year higher diploma. Through a process involving inductive-abductive logic and the constant comparison, coding, and analysis of the data, a theoretical model of vocational pedagogies for the training and formation of early childhood educators emerged. The findings indicate the need for clear pedagogical direction and informed choices to be made individually and collectively by the team of lecturers teaching the programme; this requires the presence of an ethos and climate of critical reflective practice and life-long learning through the creation or seeking of opportunities for continuous professional development. Its relevance becomes more pronounced in the context of a training programme that prepares future educators as there is a greater application of the pedagogy used at higher vocational training level for its transfer to early-years classrooms and settings. The role of the VET lecturer as a role model is highlighted as being significant in the formation and training of early childhood educators by both sets of participants. The current pedagogical picture portrays a situation where different lecturers adopt different pedagogical approaches that range from the traditional, teacher-focused ones to more innovative, participatory, and practice-based strategies. There is a consensus about the validity of adopting more learner-centred, hands-on pedagogical approaches though this is usually influenced by contextual, cultural-historical, and philosophical factors. The topical debate on professionalizing the Early Years sector is also reflected in the data and seems to influence expectations that both lecturers and learners have on the quality of the programme and the need for more focused exploration of effective vocational pedagogies. The importance of a strategic plan on the relevance and advancement of the teaching and learning practices within the vocational training programmes is highlighted.

THE ROLE OF TERMINOLOGY IN FORMING THE LANGUAGE AND PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCY OF ECONOMIC PROFILE SPESIALISTS

The article states that the organization of modern production and commercial structures, changes in the political and economic life of our state contribute to the active replenishment of the Ukrainian language with the new terms of the economic sphere. It is noted that at the present stage, foreign-language borrowings take a significant place in the lexical composition of the Ukrainian literary language, because in general appearing of borrowings in terminology is a natural process common for all languages ​​of the world. There remain actual proposals that the full development of a given terminology system is possible only under the condition the balance of national and international components is preserved. New economic terms have filled our language and at present time, this tendency is preserved. It has been found out that having a significant word-formation and lexical vocabulary, the Ukrainian language can present such subtle shades of meanings ​​that can not be represented in other words. It has been proved that this contributes to the selection of a successful national term, therefore, it is not necessary to abuse our language with foreign-language words. An important role in the preparation of a language-competent specialist belongs to the language, in particular, to such an important its branch as terminology. It is known that terminological vocabulary plays an important role in the vocabulary of the Ukrainian literary language. It is the indicator of the development level of scientific vocabulary in society and, as a result, of science in general. Terminological vocabulary is a kind of barometer that determines the level of vocational education, since rich and branched terminology is undoubtedly one of the important indicators of the level of vocational education in the state. The vocabulary of the economic profile is that part of the vocabulary of the language, which includes the concepts denoting the names of objects, phenomena, processes of socio-economic life. It is connected with relevant sciences and spheres of economic life - management, marketing, finance, law, production, taxation, statistics, insurance, etc. To one of the main sources of the formation of modern Ukrainian economic vocabulary belong foreign language borrowings. At the same time, at the Ukrainian language professionally-oriented classes of Vinnytsia National Agrarian University, in the process of teaching economic terminology, much attention is paid to the Ukrainian terms, which determine the national specificity of the Ukrainian language, for example: funds, estimates, cost, purchase, sale, etc., to their formation and correct use in professional language. In the modern world, terminology plays an important role in people’s communicating as it is a powerful source of information. Besides, terminology is a part of the vocabulary that is extremely sensitive to external influences. The maximum number of foreign language borrowings is recorded in those areas where the closest interaction of languages ​​and cultures occurs. This is primarily economy. Modern economic terminology is being renewed, improved according to the development and improvement of the economic sphere. The process of correlation of national and foreign-language components in the system of Ukrainian financial and economic terminology is especially felt today, when the dynamics of borrowing English-language terminology units as special names of new phenomena and concepts has become much more active. At the same time, we observe a tendency towards excessive usage of borrowings of English-speaking origin in financial and economic terminology, unjustified usage of foreign language units under the condition of existing the autochthonous correspondences with the same meaning. Therefore, the need for a professional evaluation of English term usage in the financial and economic terminology of the Ukrainian language is in time.

A collaborative and open solution for large‐scale online learning

AbstractCollaborative Open Online Courses (COOC), designed as the enhanced variance of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC), inherently combines the advantages of high‐quality online resources and face‐to‐face classroom teaching. It stimulates the collaboration and improvement of courses between educators and learners, by realizing the innovation for dynamic and real‐time education process, fostering professional skill acquisition and development as well. In this paper, we propose the novel concept and architectural design of COOC that provides the online course, courseware, and online experimental platform, built on top of third party's open source platforms. The preparation of courses is based on GitHub that facilitates multipoint‐to‐multipoint online courses and concurrent compilation of textbook based on GitBook, by providing open source textbooks and rapid updates as well as remote operations through online experimental platforms. The major differences between MOOC and COOC include decentralized platform and adoption of concepts through crowdsourcing, where instructors, professionals, and learners are able to set up and modify the courses independently and concurrently, empowering the course's construction based on the collaborative, open and shared textbooks, and online experimental platform. Users, including both teachers and learners, are also able to browse, download, and make use of courses in this platform. With embedded intellectual property and quality control mechanisms, such as Creative Commons (CC) licenses, COOC platform can generate and offer high‐quality courses and textbooks of emerging knowledge rapidly through consistent updates by professionals, students, and elites in related domains. The proposed design has been tested at trial Chinese universities and initial feedback from instructors and students are very positive. Insights on techniques and related information are provided, to best adapt to any vocational education level, subject matter, or courseware provider.

Evolution of educational levels and qualifications of graduates of higher education institutions

The article devoted to the changes in the levels of vocational education and the qualifications of graduates of higher education organizations. Simple parameters of graduates of a single-level Soviet higher school in the form of qualifications – the engineer was understandable to consumers and corresponded to the labor qualifications of workers, primarily enterprises. The transition of Russia’s higher education system to a multilevel system led to the establishment of incomprehensible qualifications for employers such as bachelor’s and master’s degrees for university graduates. It is offered to graduates of higher educational institutions, who have mastered the bachelor and master’s programs, to assign not the qualifications, but the academic degrees of bachelor and master. And for the «recognition» of graduates of various universities to give them an annex to the diploma with a list of formed competencies. Presented the stages of changing educational standards, beginning in 1994. Revealed the inconsistency of professional and educational standards regarding the formulation of requirements for the education of workers. The generalized content of the professional standard of a typical production specialist is disclosed. The levels of qualifications of the Labor Code are given. It is shown that graduates of higher education organizations that do not have professional experience will begin to acquire it for 4 or 5 skill levels. The basic level of qualification of bachelors and specialists is 6, which is confirmed in professional standards. Attention is drawn to the formation in the students of the aggregate of two groups of competences: professional and social, which meets the requirements of professional standards of specialists. To guarantee the quality of training, it is proposed to provide a competence model of graduates for approval and review to employers who will compare it with the official duties of employees of relevant qualification levels or with a professional standard.
