Design of Self-Educational Activity of the Future Teacher as Leading Factor in the Formation its Innovative Competence (Methodological Aspects)

Education is the basis for the economic and spiritual development of any society. Modern education system places demand on the teacher, such as professionalism, soft skills, mobility, and the ability to process creatively an ever-increasing flow of information and apply it competently in practice; thus, the preparation of a future teacher is a social order in relation to higher pedagogical education. Nowadays the development of the concept of lifelong education is being strengthened, and university training turns into an extremely important stage with the main goal when the student must be prepared not only for practical activities, but also for further systematic improvement of their professional qualifications. Consequently, preparing a future specialist for self-education is a requirement of the modern education system of the country. It is obvious that the objective need of society is determined by the competitive ability of specialists in the world market, their adaptation to changing socio-economic conditions. The paper is devoted to the methodological approaches of the future teacher’s formation of the innovative competence.

Memorial museums as an object for studying cultural and historical heritage in the system of modern education

Introduction. Preservation and study of cultural and historical heritage is one of the strategic tasks of modern society. UNESCO has played a major role in the implementation of these tasks for many years. UNESCO suggests that cultural and educational tourism, as a way of consuming cultural attractions, among which museums occupy an important place, is an effective method of studying world heritage. The purpose of the article is to prove the role of memorial museums as an objects of cultural and educational tourism and a factor in the study of cultural and historical heritage. Materials and methods. The research materials and methods are based on an analysis of the specifics of memorial museums as an object of study of cultural and historical heritage. The methodological basis is the theory of museum communication, the theory of “memory studies”, as well as methodological aspects of the study of cultural and historical heritage in the system of modern education. The research materials are based both on traditional methods and on the use of an interdisciplinary approach, including sociocultural and activity methods. Results. The results of the study are based on the analysis of information on the topic of educational and scientific activities of two modern memorial museums: The State Memorial Historical-Literary and NaturalLandscape Museum-Reserve of A. S. Pushkin “Mikhailovskoye” and the State Memorial Museum of the Defense and Siege of Leningrad, which have a unique history and status as objects of cultural heritage of the Russian Federation. Authors analyze media files from museum data, materials from online broadcasts of conferences, seminars and round tables, interviews, lectures and publications of researchers. Conclusion.

Using Special Physical Education Curriculum-Based Measurement to Improve Student Motor Development in Both General and Special Needs Population: Review of Early Research Lasting More than Five Decades

The main goal of this study is to acquaint experts in the field of education with the results of early research, which are related to the problems they face even now when it comes to sensitive groups with special needs. Previous experiences can be a good indicator of different models of action for pedagogues and managers within the modern education system. Inclusive education has become a reality faced by all participants in the process. Effective action models have been adopted in developed countries, primarily Western countries. However, in less developed countries, it is evident that the problem of inclusion is faced later, primarily due to legal regulations and the need for more funds for specific training of all participants. This issue is especially neglected when it comes to inclusion in the physical education of children with various disorders in motor development. Examples from practice in earlier research can be a good guide for overcoming various obstacles that all participants face today, both in special and inclusive physical education. Controversies are still occurring between supporters of the traditional particular education approach versus the modern, inclusive education model. A better familiarity with the issue can contribute to overcoming prejudices, which this overview study of earlier research can contribute.

THE IMPACT OF SOFT SKILLS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TEACHER’S PERSONAL BRAND

The competition in the modern education system is growing every year. Nowadays, to gain confidence in the professional field, it is important for teachers to express themselves by developing their personal brand. We understand the teacher’s personal brand as the habit of being popular among colleagues and creating one’s own professional and personal identity. In recent decades, the issue of the necessity for teachers to possess flexible skills in order to perform their professional duties has become increasingly pertinent. The research article examines the role of soft skills in shaping a teacher’s personal brand, which has become a crucial aspect in contemporary professional settings. This study is based on theoretical frameworks of personal brand formation, complemented by practical observations and analysis of current demands placed on teachers. The authors posit that the identification of the structural components of soft skills, which are critical for the development of a teacher’s personal brand, will facilitate this process by considering the specific attributes of the phenomenon and the particularities of teachers’ professional activities. The article identifies and delineates the structural components of soft skills, including self-presentation, emotional intelligence, fairness, creativity, leadership. To validate the proposed hypothesis, a survey was conducted using the digital platform Google Forms. The survey consisted of two stages: at the first stage, we surveyed respondents who were not teachers; they were asked 8 questions; At the second stage, teachers were interviewed and asked 5 questions. The analysis of the results indicates that the development of the identified soft skills contributes to the formation of a positive image of the teacher and significantly influences the enhancement of professional status, as well as the quality and efficiency of the educational process.

China’s Nine-Year Compulsory Education Policy and Rural Women’s Education

Globally, education is often regarded as a basic human right. In order to guarantee this right, many countries have adopted various measures to ensure universal access to an inclusive and fair quality education, without leaving anyone behind. The UNICEF (2017) Convention on the Rights of the Child provides tenets of the child’s right to education, education should focus on the all-round development of children’s personalities and promote mutual understanding, tolerance, friendship, and peace by respecting their personal cultural backgrounds. The draft UNESCO Education 2030 Framework for Action (UNESCO 2015) involves ensuring an inclusive and fair basic education and providing lifelong learning opportunities for all (Webb et al., 2017). The implementation of compulsory education and the comprehensive development of a modern education system thus are importance to countries such as China. In fact, the implementation of the compulsory education policy in contemporary China is regarded as the main task of the government, which means that the “right to education” is a top priority (Chang, 2010). However, although various levels of governments are making significant efforts to promote the development of compulsory education in rural areas, there is still a major gap in terms of the quality and attainment within China education, especially along urban-rural divides. Children from impoverished backgrounds, typically rural areas, have a much higher risk of dropping out than their urban peers after completing elementary school. Therefore, this dissertation seeks to present the difficult situation rural women find themselves in concerning education. It proposes two research questions that 1) Does China’s nine-year compulsory education policy include initiatives to address gender inequalities, such as the higher rates of illiteracy amongst rural women and girls, and what evidence is available on the extent of the policy’s effectiveness in this regard? 2) How are issues of gender inequality experienced by rural women and girls in China in the context of the enactment of the nine-year compulsory education policy? Analysing the implementation of China’s nine-year compulsory education policy in rural area, whilst investigating the inequality that rural women suffer.

Study of the relationship between the functional state of students in classes and professional and personal qualities of teachers

Introduction. The modern education system makes increasingly high demands on students, but there may be insufficient adaptation of pupils and students to learning processes. This is also due to the lack of scientifically substantiated and experimentally tested personality-oriented learning technologies, primarily its physical and psychological components and the adaptation of students in the educational and socio-cultural space. The purpose of the research. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the functional state of students in the classroom and professional and personal qualities of teachers, the development of recommendations for the creation of personality-oriented teaching technologies. Materials and Methods. The study involved students of the National Research Technical University (KNITUKAI) and the Kazan Veterinary Institute named after N. E. Bauman, as well as 10-11th grade students of Lyceum No. 33 at Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University (KFU). The number of subjects was 332 people. Methods: analysis of sources, pedagogical experiment (conducting experiment), methods of statistical data processing (correlation and factor analysis). Results and discussion. There were revealed links between the functional state of students in the classroom and professional and personal qualities of teachers: pedagogical tact of a teacher correlates with the students' mood (r=0,85; p<0,05), critical evaluation of his/her merits and demerits is related to the mood of the student (r=0,92; p<0,05) of the student (r=0,92; p<0,05), organizational skills of the teacher with the desire to work (r=0,95; p<0,05), the presence of feedback from the audience also has a positive correlation with the desire to work (r=0,93; p<0,05). The theoretical health saving model of the teacher was compiled. On The first places in the "health-saving model of the teacher" are the following qualities: tactfulness, intelligence, erudition, humor, culture of speech, creative abilities. Application of this model by teachers in schools and universities will promote person-centered learning. Conclusion. The materials presented in the article can be applied by school teachers and university teachers. The conducted research also opens perspectives in the training of teachers at the faculties of professional development on the basis of the developed health-saving model.

The implementation of Palestine’s national teacher education strategy: a case study

In the Middle East and North Africa region, including Palestine, the current teaching reforming trend toward international accountability and standards adoption is grounded by economic globalization. The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) in Palestine has been committed to attaining such a movement. With the aim of qualifying teachers, the national “Teacher Education Strategy” (TES) has been launched. This study examines the TES implementation process in Palestine. The implementation research is a critical aspect in analyzing the rationality, dynamism, and complexity of policy processes. Based on the case study methodology and utilization of a multi-disciplinary framework, the researcher gathered and comprehended the data. Zoom interviews and document analysis were applied for data collection. Moreover, the developed analytic model enabled the researcher to delve into the implementation process by examining aspects such as communication enforcement, delivery structure, policy objectives, roles and disposition of implementers, and socio-economic and political factors. However, a collective effort to reform teacher education has been hindered by several factors. Neoliberal policies and external influences, alongside political and economic restrictions, as well as the centralized and vertical structure of the MoEHE, have complicated Palestinians’ vision for decentralization in education. These challenges have impeded the development of a modern education system. Despite the many accomplishments, the core element of TES objectives has not been achieved yet. For authentic implementation, this research argues for an interaction of global and local discourses to achieve a higher consistency between the implementation goals and outcomes. It recommends a multiple-case design and comparative future studies.

TEACHING HISTORY IN HIGH SCHOOL AS A WAY TO BUILD A COMPLEX OF SELF-IDENTIFICATIONS OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

This study examines the role of history education in shaping the complex self-identifications of high school students, highlighting its significance in the broader context of democratic education principles and human rights. Recognizing the transformative power of history education, the research investigates how historical narratives and teaching methodologies influence students’ identity formation and their perception of societal roles. Through a mixed-methods approach, involving surveys and observations from 300 high school students across ten schools in the Dnipropetrovsk region, this study explores the interplay between historical education and student self-identity, focusing on the integration of multiple perspectives, critical thinking, and ethical reflection in the curriculum. The findings reveal that exposure to diverse historical viewpoints not only enhances students' understanding of history but also actively supports their personal and social identity development. Critical engagement with historical content, especially involving ethical dilemmas and social injustices, encourages deep reflection and aids in forming a nuanced personal and social identity. Moreover, the study addresses the challenges posed by global educational dynamics and the media, which often contrast with the objectives of historical education, suggesting that an enriched historical curriculum can serve as a counterbalance to external influences. The research underscores the need for history educators to adopt inclusive and reflective pedagogical strategies that foster a critical understanding of history while supporting complex identity formation among students. By doing so, history education not only contributes to the academic development of students but also plays a crucial role in preparing them for active and informed citizenship in a democratic society. The study’s recommendations advocate for continuous teacher development and curricular adjustments to better meet the diverse needs of students, ensuring that history education remains a pivotal element of modern educational systems.

Conceptualization of the Integrated Islamic Religious Education Curriculum: A Literature Study at Imam Hatip Schools Turkey and MAN Insan Cendekia Indonesia

Purpose – The authors aim to compare Imam Hatip School (IHS) with MAN Insan Cendekia (MAN IC), two Islamic educational institutions that have successfully implemented an Islamic religious education curriculum integrated with general science. Design/methods/approach – This study used a literature review research method that examined several sources and government documents in three languages. The data collection technique was conducted by extracting and evaluating information in articles that meet the inclusion criteria. Once extracted and evaluated, the authors analyzed and interpreted the data. Findings – The integrated curriculum of Islamic education in IHSs aims to anticipate extreme, radical understandings and rejection of the state that implements the secular system. It will form the nature and attitude of tolerance among fellow citizens, allowing it to reduce social conflicts. The IHSs has implemented the integrated Islamic education curriculum by adopting a modern education system. The implementation of the integrated PAI curriculum at MAN IC aims to eliminate the paradigm and praxis of the dichotomy of science. MAN IC adopts an integrated Islamic religious education curriculum based on the traditional Islamic system with a mandatory policy to stay at a dorm for students, where religious activities are more emphasized when students are in the dormitory. Research implications/limitations – This research still has limitations due to a limited literature review and verification study in closed terms on our respondent informants. Therefore, further research is required to deepen the examination in this study. Originality/value – The findings in this study have included the aspects of policy, strategy, content or material development, and the implementation results of the integrated PAI curriculum in the two institutions. Those aspects build a socio-cultural identity, allowing it to develop the school in the realm of progress and achievement. The expectation is that this research can become an example for the development of Islamic Education Institutions in integrating the PAI curriculum.

НАУЧНО-ОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНОЕ ПРОСТРАНСТВО В НОВЫХ ГЕОПОЛИТИЧЕСКИХ РЕАЛИЯХ СОВРЕМЕННОГО МИРА: ТЕНДЕНЦИИ И ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ

The relevance of the topic is related to the need to determine Russia’s place in the modern educational space, taking into account the challenges that determine the current situation in the world. The statement of the problem and the scope of this article are determined by the need to understand the processes of transformation of the education system throughout the world and in Russia. The methodological basis of this study is an approach that combines a number of general scientific and special research methods, which made it possible to study the raised problem systematically and, as a result, present the author’s forecast for the development of the educational space. Currently, the scientific and educational space should not be considered in the categories of “openness”, “equality” and “accessibility”. This approach, which idealizes the modern scientific and educational space, is erroneous, since it does not provide a clear understanding of the meaning of competitive relations in the modern education system. The modern scientific and educational space is a hierarchical system of various educational spaces (global, regional, national), the development trend of which is regionalization, as a result of which the educational space is reformatted under the influence of the politicization of educational activities. Currently, Russia is becoming one of the centers of power in the global geopolitical space, which determines the attractiveness of the Russian educational system, contributing to the transformation of Russia into one of the leaders of the modern educational space.

Selection of a smart and secure education school system based on the internet of things using entropy and TOPSIS approaches

ContextThe Internet of Things (IoT) is playing an important role in the development of cars, smart homes and schools. Schools are using IoT technology to enhance student learning, digitize traditional learning and improve academic performance. IoT is rapidly replacing the traditional school system with a modern, smart and safe school system. Several modern education systems are presented in the literature. Problem statementThe difficulty of choosing a smart and safe school system while evaluating the respective merits of different school systems has long been a concern for educators. MethodIn this study we proposed a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making method (MCDM) to address the selection Problem. To rank the different smart school systems and evaluate the value of the required parameter, two MCDM-based methods are used: Entropy and TOPSIS (Technique for Preference Ordering by Similarity to an Ideal Solution). ResultsTwelve beneficial features were considered that represent the fundamental positive characteristics required to create an intelligent education system. Ten different educational systems are considered as alternatives in order to carry out an evaluation. Entropy is used to measure the importance of each criterion and TOPSIS is used to rank the school systems. In this paper, we propose how the concepts of Entropy and TOPSIS can be used to address the challenge of selecting a safe and smart school system based on IoT. Our investigation selected the IoT-based school system that was found to be the smartest and safest out of a set of schools. Finally, we discuss the evaluation of the proposed research.

Birhor Society and Culture: A Study on Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups of Jharkhand, India

A significant portion of the Indian population consists of tribal communities. The world's highest concentration of tribal people with diverse cultures is found exclusively in India. Tribal people are those who inhabit a specific region, have uniform cultural characteristics, and use basic technology. Tribes are recognized for their unique ethnic and cultural characteristics, but they are losing their unique identities as a result of massive and rapid urbanization and industrialization. Since the beginning of ethnographic research on Indian tribes, scientists have been interested in the unique livelihood practices of the Birhor, a particularly vulnerable tribal group (primitive tribal group) in Jharkhand. They have historically lived in forests and had a nomadic hunting and gathering lifestyle. Large-scale deforestation brought about by urbanization and industrialization has an impact on the entire culture and civilization. Their language and unique socio-cultural structure are undergoing rapid changes as a result of their increased exposure to modern culture through different government initiatives for tribal development, the modern educational system, etc. It is therefore necessary to investigate the evolving sociocultural patterns of the vulnerable "Birhor" tribe and to put appropriate strategies and programmes in place for the self-initiated preservation of indigenous tribal culture and identity. Keywords: Oral tradition, Social life, Economic life, Birhor, Jharkhand.
