The Implementatio of the Blended Learning Technologies at the Higher Military Educational Institution: Features of the Readiness Formation of the Future Special Purpose Specialists for Professional Activity

The technology of blended learning, which combines the advantages of traditional classroom and electronic learning, is considered. It is noted that blended learning is characterized by a double significance (personally significant educational activity and proper organization of educational activity in electronic and traditional format), which contributes to the development of a cadet of a military educational institution as a subject of self-education, and forms his readiness for self-development in the future professional activity. An analysis of the features and essential characteristics of blended learning technology was carried out, its models were investigated, and approaches to introducing blended learning into the educational process of cadets of higher military educational institutions were described. The critical characteristics of blended learning, such as individualization of learning, productive, independent work, appropriate use of classroom time, active implementation of modern information and communication technologies, etc., are highlighted. The interaction of subjects: the teacher, students, electronic educational resources, and the roles assigned to them in the blended learning model are characterized. Electronic resources for implementing blended learning into practice (Google for Education cloud services with basic applications) are considered. The experience of using blended learning technology in the teaching process is described, which is implemented in the form of a three-stage educational model - independent work of cadets (viewing video materials to familiarize themselves with the theoretical material for this lesson, independent performance of tasks to check understanding of the reviewed material), classroom work (active types of educational activity) and post-audit work (independent generalization of the studied educational material). It was concluded that the introduction of blended training into the educational process of future particular purpose specialists, as well as its practical use at higher military educational institutions, contributes to the formation of cadets’ readiness for the activities of future military officers.

EFFECT OF QUIZLET USE ON UKRAINIAN SERVICE MEMBERS’ ENGLISH VOCABULARY ACQUISITION

The article focused on exploring the effect of the use of Quizlet on Ukrainian service members’ English vocabulary acquisition and their perceptions of its utilisation in the educational process. A mixed-method research design combining quantitative and qualitative approaches was employed in this experimental study, which consisted of 3 stages. The data for the analysis were collected through 3 survey questionnaires and 2 tests. The obtained results reported a beneficial effect of Quizlet integration into the English language course on the service members’ English vocabulary mastery. The participants demonstrated high learning outcomes and significant English vocabulary acquisition progress after systematic and continued Quizlet utilisation in and out of class. Ukrainian service members positively responded to Quizlet implementation during the course and supported its further integration into the programme. The participants viewed Quizlet as an effective learning tool and highly valued its practical use. They praised Quizlet's simplicity, convenience, mobility, and time-saving abilities but underestimated its motivating and entertaining potential. Under the current conditions of the increased demand for English-speaking personnel, this study can contribute to the development of practice guidelines for the incorporation of Quizlet and other vocabulary-building mobile applications into the English language courses for military professionals at higher military educational institutions.

HYGIENIC ASPECTS FOR MAINTAINING THE HEALTH OF MILITARY SPECIALTIES CADETS: ASSESSMENT, OPTIMIZATION OF LEARNING AND LIVING CONDITIONS, AND OVERCOMING RISK FACTORS

This research theme was approved by the Academic Council of Kharkiv National University as a dissertation for Doctor of Philosophy degree.
 The aim of this publication is to present a literature review summarizing the findings from national and international scientific and practical works on the training of military personnel. The focus is on the hygienic and psychophysiological foundations of health, optimization requirements for the training conditions of cadets in military educational institutions, and other critical aspects related to this important issue.
 The materials and methods were based on well-known methodological aspects of analytical evaluation and interpretation of scientific and practical information from the literature.
 The results obtained by the analytical assessment of relevant materials indicate that the issue of training military personnel is pertinent globally and particularly crucial in the context of the ongoing conflict with the Russian aggressor in Ukraine. It has been established that in recent decades, Ukraine has lacked studies specifically focused on understanding the dynamics of mental states and the development of mental maladaptation. The absence of such research has hindered the formulation of health protection measures and the enhancement of combat readiness for cadets in higher military educational institutions throughout their entire course of study. Literature findings on the study of educational conditions for both civilian students and cadets in military educational institutions underscore the intricacies of the adaptation process for young individuals pursuing higher education. This complexity arises from age-related psychological characteristics influencing their reactions to changes in social status brought about by the transition to the environment and conditions of higher education institutions. In particular, the change in lifestyle affects cadets and junior students. This is due to an increase in the amount of received information, the unusual form of its presentation, the lack of systematic control by teachers and parents, and other factors that increase the burden on the psycho-emotional sphere of students. Specifically, cadets and junior students are significantly affected by the shift in lifestyle. This can be attributed to the heightened volume of information, its unconventional presentation, the absence of systematic monitoring by educators and parents, and various factors that contribute to an increased load on the psycho-emotional well-being of students.
 Conclusions.
 
 The issue of cadets' learning conditions in military educational institutions is a pressing concern globally.
 Through a review of scientific and practical literature, it is evident that there is an immediate need to establish criteria for the effectiveness of socio-pedagogical prevention in addressing maladjustment among junior cadets in higher military educational institutions, including those in the Ukrainian Air Force. The inadequacies in a cadet's socio-psychological characteristics may lead to maladjustment, becoming a potential factor contributing to health disorders.
 The review of existing scientific and practical literature highlights a gap in research pertaining to the psycho-emotional profile of cadets in higher military Air Force educational institutions. This lack of comprehensive study hinders efforts to preserve health and combat capability while developing hygienic preventive measures, underscoring the relevance of our scientific work.

Postgraduate education methodology for foreign language teachers' assessment competence development in higher military educational institutions

Ukraine's tendency to achieve compatibility with the standards of NATO member states, in particular as a result of Russian aggression against Ukraine, raises the issue of developing the diagnostic competence of foreign language teachers in higher military educational institutions. After all, the ability of foreign language teachers in higher military educational institutions to effectively assess the levels of foreign language communicative competence of military personnel allows them to respond promptly to problematic issues in their language training and change training strategies following the needs of the Armed Forces. Therefore, the study aims to reveal the essence of the methodology of adaptive development of foreign language teachers' diagnostic competence in the system of postgraduate education. To achieve this goal, several theoretical (analysis, synthesis, systematisation of scientific psychological, pedagogical, methodological literature) and empirical (observation, comparison, description) methods were used. Adaptive learning technologies are proposed, which allow studying the educational material with the help of adaptive algorithms for each student, according to knowledge, skills, and personal learning needs, i.e., through the adaptive presentation of the educational material of the author's remote special course. The stages of implementation of the author's methodology for adaptive development of diagnostic competence of foreign language teachers in higher military educational institutions are highlighted. The specifics of the methodology of adaptive development of diagnostic competence of foreign language teachers are revealed, considering their diagnostic activities in the system of military education. The authors' developed methodology for the adaptive development of diagnostic competence of foreign language teachers in higher military educational institutions contributes to the actualisation, systematisation and deepening of their theoretical diagnostic knowledge, and improvement of practical diagnostic skills and abilities that form the basis for the development of their diagnostic competence. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying its results to improve the qualifications of foreign language teachers at higher military educational institutions

Features of training for female military officers of military institutions of higher education. Abstract

It is known that the success of military- professional activity depends on the peculiarities of the learning and upbringing process, which must be built not only on the basis of general psychological and pedagogical laws, but also taking into account certain methods of influence that correspond to the characteristics of cadets. Today's conditions, changes in the directions of military and professional activity and the conditions for conducting combat operations by servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the territory of the state against the aggressor of the Russian Federation require from hand-to-hand combat the improvement of the set of means for training, education and formation of soldiers in technical, tactical, physical and mental readiness for actions in difficult conditions of close combat.
 The article presents the main results of experimental research on the testing in real conditions of the educational process of the proposed experimental program for training female servicemen in hand-to-hand combat, which are used during practical classes in accordance with the training program at the VZVO (Lviv) during the academic year. The purpose of the experimental training program for female servicemen was to prepare cadets for hand-to-hand combat and self-defense. The program is designed for the period of study at the VZVO: in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years - study and training of techniques and actions, in the 4th and 5th years - improvement of previously learned techniques and actions of hand-to-hand combat with the inclusion of a section in various forms of physical preparation

Using Professionally-Oriented Electronic Educational Resources to Enhance Foreign Language Competence of Future Border Guard Officers

Nowadays, in the context of the restrictions imposed by pandemic and war initiated by Russian federation, it became indispensable to make adjustments to the educational process and use relevant methods to teach future border guard officers of Ukraine foreign languages in order to maximize the efficiency of the educational process at the higher military educational institution. The results of the analysis of practical experience, as well as taking into account the best international practices for training security and defense sector officers, made it possible to determine the optimal electronic educational technologies that can be used for foreign language training of future officers in the context of a various restriction to the educational process. To test the effectiveness of integrating electronic educational resources into the training of future officers, four training groups of the National Academy of the State Border Guard Service were involved, who studied at the same course in the specialty "State Border Security" and "Telecommunications and Radio Engineering". Professional training in the experimental group was carried out with the maximum possible application of electronic educational resources. The effectiveness of integrating professionally-oriented training programs with interface in English, as well as specifically designed ESP distance learning course into the system of professional training of future officers has been proved in practice. This was confirmed by the results of diagnostics of academic achievements of cadets who used electronic means for professional English language training. Although, it is recommended to adhering to a certain ratio of the share of classes using electronic educational resources and practical contact classes.

Study on the development of health-saving competence of future border guard officers

The paper presents a methodological system for the formation of health-saving competence of future border guard officers at higher military educational institution. The system is focused on the educational component of training and familiarizing cadets with the specifics and ways of forming this professionally important quality using the potential of interactive and research training methods. The article aims at justification, implementation and verification of the effectiveness of the methodological system during an experimental study in which 132 cadets aged 17-22 years took part, including 118 boys and 14 girls. The research methods used were: retrospective and comparative analysis, generalization, pedagogical observation, questionnaires and surveys, testing, expert assessments, experiment and methods of statistical assessment. At the end of the formative stage of the experiment, cadets of the experimental group have a predominantly high (23,88 %) and average (55.22%) levels of health-saving competence. In the control group the indicators were 12.31% and 46.15%, respectively. It has been proved that the proposed methodological system allows to increase the motivation of cadets to preserve their health, its physical, social and mental (spiritual) components, improve their level of awareness of the importance of health in personal and professional life, improve the skills of health-saving activities.

Incomplete mechanisms of authorities in issues of ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as a state language

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the current legislation regulating the issues of ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as a state language. Analyzed such basic legal acts as the Constitution of Ukraine and the Laws of Ukraine "On ensuring the functioning of the Ukrainian language as a state language", "About Higher Education". It is determined, that the status of the Ukrainian language as a single state language in Ukraine is determined exclusively by the Constitution of Ukraine, and the procedure for the functioning and use of the state language is exclusively determined by law. The current legal acts contain gaps that are persistent.
 Based on the results of the study, the author's vision of ways to regulate the imperfection of the mechanism of state power has been formed. Namely, it is proposed to supplement Article 10 of Section III of the Law of Ukraine “On Ensuring the Functioning of the Ukrainian Language as a State Language” with part 4 as follows: “as an alternative, the level of proficiency in the state language by persons, defined in the first and second parts of Article 9 of this Law, is certified by a document with Unified State Electronic Database on Education. This clarification in some cases will help simplify the mechanism for assessing the level of proficiency in the state language of military personnel serving in higher military educational institutions as scientific and pedagogical workers, as well as eliminate negative reactions from society regarding the failure to confirm the level of proficiency in the state language of persons applying for individual elective positions (Deputies of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine). After all, all citizens of Ukraine are equal before the Law and proper language skills are an integral part of professional competence, a guarantee of success in the profession, as well as an indicator of the general culture of the individual.
 In addition, the article emphasizes that insufficient legal work and legal culture of local officials remain the problematic issues, faced by contract military personnel serving in the positions of scientific and pedagogical workers in institutions of higher military education. Therefore, one of the ways to increase the effectiveness of legal awareness of both military personnel (under contract) in the security and defense sector and officials of public authorities is to strengthen the work in teams on the interpretation of legal norms and ways to implement them

THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN ENSURING NATIONAL SECURITY: TRAINING OF SCIENTIFIC PERSONNEL FOR THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE

The article deals with the main aspects of training of higher education applicants in higher military educational institutions and scientific institutions of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine. The author analyzes the regulatory framework for the acquisition of professional competence of higher education students in higher military educational institutions and scientific institutions of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine. The national security of Ukraine is an integral part and priority goal of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, which accordingly determines the main factors of stable development of society. Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has created the conditions for the emergence of a hybrid form of warfare using the information space, which has forced the creation of new approaches to ensuring and maintaining the national security of the state. In this case, an important role is played by the training of students to acquire competencies in the development and testing of weapons and military equipment, which in today's conditions requires constant updating. Graduates of higher education institutions and research institutions of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine must take into account the peculiarities of the production of weapons and military equipment in a timely manner in order to ensure the country's defense capability.
 The issue of training applicants in the modern conditions of the modern educational process should focus on the ability to make decisions in martial law and uncertainty. The level of education of students will be higher, the broader the chosen field of knowledge, as well as the ability to design solutions in an uncertain situation, which will allow them to have a wider range of possible decision-making methods. Therefore, raising the level of training of students in military sciences will create the preconditions for further implementation of measures that will ensure the development of personnel in the system of higher military education and increase Ukraine's defence capabilities.

Analysis of the adaptation potential of entrants to higher military educational institutions

The purpose of the research given in the article is to analyze the dynamics of adaptation potential of entrants to higher military educational institutions (HMEI). The process of adaptation represents the ability of the human body to adapt to external aggravators or structural changes in the work of its systems. Adaptation of military personnel characterizes the state of body functions adaptation to the conditions of military and professional activity. The success of the physical improvement of future officers and the construction of the physical education process in HMEI depends on the adaptive capabilities of young people who begin professional military training. The current research was carried out for three years on the base of Ivan Kozhedub Kharkiv National Air Force University. Three groups of entrants were observed, a total amount was 232 cadets. The average age of respondents was 18.4 years. Anthropometric (measurement of anthropometric indicators) and medical-biological (rhythmvasometry, electromanometry) research methods were applied. Based on the results of anthropometric and medico-biological measurements, an index of functional changes was determined. Index of functional changes (IFC) is designed to evaluate the level of functional capabilities, as well as determine the adaptation potential of the cardiovascular system. The IFC of the 2019-2021 sets representatives is found within the limits of no more than 2.59 conditional units, which indicates a satisfactory assessment of the adaptation degree of the organism. The results of the conducted experiment demonstrate a statistically significant deterioration of the index of functional changes, the difference in indicators for representatives of the sets of 2019 and 2021 is 1.5%. This fact indicates a gradual deterioration of the adaptation capabilities of entrants to higher military educational institutions.

VALIDATION OF AN ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE SCALE IN A MILITARY HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION: IMPLICATIONS FOR RESEARCH AND PRACTICE

The evaluation of organizational climate is a critical factor in business management, and its importance is even greater in military higher education institutions, due to the high motivation and commitment expected from their members. However, research on this topic in Ecuador is scarce. The present study validates a scale to measure organizational climate in Ecuadorian military higher education institutions. The instrument proposed by Hernández, Garrido & Rico (2016) was applied to an intentional sample of 44 Military Engineering School (ESINGM) members. Its reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, obtaining values above 0.960, indicating high internal consistency. The dimensions of the organizational climate present in the institution were identified, and the results of the first-level statistical validation were presented. It is concluded that the scale is valid and reliable for measuring the organizational climate in this institution. In addition, this study contributes to the understanding of the organizational climate in military higher education institutions in Ecuador and may have implications for the management and improvement of educational quality in the context of higher education in Ecuador.
