Curriculum and program evaluation in medical education: a short systematic literature review.

Medical education is constantly evolving worldwide and facing various challenges. To cope with these, continuous and fruitful evaluation of an educational program is the need of the day. This study aims to know the purpose of evaluation, various theories related to program evaluation, and different models of curriculum and program evaluation. This will help educationists evaluate their programs fruitfully and effectively according to their needs and objectives. Different search engines including Medline's PubMed interface, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Review databases using keywords, curriculum evaluation, evaluation models, and evaluation strategies in education, were searched without any date restrictions, and 20 full-text articles were selected for review and data extraction. While reviewing the literature it was found that most of the modern educational program and curriculum evaluation models are based on the reductionist, system, and complexity theories of evaluation. The experimental/quasi-experimental model is based majorly on the linear approach and reductionism, but its drawback is that it is impractical for the whole curriculum and sometimes ethically unfavorable. Kirkpatrick's model, Philips' model, the CIPP model, and the logic model are based on the system and complexity theory and are more practical in medical education. Each of these models has its advantages and limitations. In this review, the authors discussed the important distinctive features of these evaluation theories and models and their applicability and usefulness in evaluating different programs and curricula.

ACTUAL ISSUES OF TRAINING OF FUTURE WORKERS OF THE SOCIAL SPHERE FOR SELF-PRESERVATION IN PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES IN MODERN CONDITIONS

The article presents a theoretical analysis of some modern problems of professional training of future workers in the social sphere for self-preservation in the period of martial law. According to the purpose of the research, the need to clarify and expand the meaning of the concept of "self-preservation", which is traditionally associated with a natural instinct, special behavior in stressful situations, has been identified. Manifestations of self-preservation of future workers in the social sphere are noted, including: self-knowledge, awareness of emotions, moods, feelings, self-acceptance; analysis and adequate assessment of one's condition; understanding of one's capabilities, abilities (mainly physical, intellectual, mental); self-control and stress resistance; self-motivation, overcoming internal barriers to achieve the goal; critical thinking in various situations, the ability to quickly find a way out, generate new ideas; predict emotional and professional burnout, as the need to preserve one's own mental health while performing official duties. Based on the analysis of domestic scientific psychological and pedagogical sources, the problem of the lack of targeted and substantiated research on the formation of self-preservation skills in future workers of the social sphere, which would take into account current events on the territory of Ukraine and the needs of citizens for help, support and protection, who suffered from military aggression, was revealed from the Russian Federation, were forced to evacuate to safe places, were subjected to mental and moral pressure. The article reveals the peculiarities of volunteering as a way of practical implementation of self-preservation of future specialists during the period of martial law. During the study, the need to modernize the existing system of professional training of future workers in the social sphere for self-preservation and work in martial law conditions was revealed. Modern educational and professional programs do not foresee the need for the formation of skills for self-preservation, do not contain special disciplines, and therefore cannot provide high-quality training of highly qualified specialists. In addition, it has been proven that the professional activity of future workers in the social sphere is closely related to health (physical, mental, social, spiritual), therefore, in the process of obtaining higher education, one should strive for awareness of the internal connections between health and self-preservation.

Satisfaction of rural and urban high school students with the functioning of the general secondary education system

The modern system of Russian general education is in a state of permanent crisis. The thing is that during the transition from the Soviet educational system to modern educational standards, all the fundamental foundations of the educational process were changed, while the new standards did not receive due verification. As a result, modern educational standards and programs are regularly adjusted, shifting the vector of study from one direction of school subjects to another. In this case, the most vulnerable element in the educational system is the subject of the educational process – schoolchildren, especially high school students – persons studying from 9th to 11th grade. The existence of a crisis in the education system is confirmed by a wide range of educational services on the market, ranging from private tutors to online schools for preparing for the Unified State Exam. At first glance, there is nothing surprising in the fact that a high school student goes to classes with a tutor or studies at an online school – this will allow him to successfully pass the main state or unified state exam and enroll in a particular educational institution on a budget. But at the same time, this means the fact that the knowledge that is given to the student at school does not satisfy the educational needs of the student, namely the key request regarding the successful passing of the state exam.

It is established that the intensification of scientific and technological progress has led to the emergence of new tasks for the investigator, the solution of which requires him to be able to apply modern technical means, IT technologies in the process of proving. Possession of only legal knowledge in the conditions of digitalization of public relations becomes insufficient for investigators, since it does not allow them to fully, comprehensively, objectively, in compliance with a reasonable time, amply ensuring the rights and legitimate interests of participants in criminal proceedings to investigate criminal cases of these crimes. Modern educational programs are not aimed at forming the necessary professional competence of an investigator in the context of digital transformation and require adjustments.

Emphasis is placed on the expression of forms of independent work of students and strengthening of international ties. However, the question of finding the optimal balance between traditional (classical) and new approaches in the educational process, in particular in curricula, remains open.

Реализация учебного интегративного модуля в проектной деятельности будущих дизайнеров

Various areas of design activity are so specific to the design object that even, at first glance, the general methods and principles of the organization of the subject-spatial environment have their own specifics and a large number of “professional subtleties”. The technological and conceptual features of each type of design objects are assimilated by students not only at an informative level, but also require hard work on mastering professional competencies related to the organization and structuring of design, spatial, compositional, color and other types of thinking and artistic vision. Modern educational programs for training future designers should ensure the speed of students’ inclusion in professional activities already at the initial stage of the educational process. The training materials have not only informational content, but are aimed at finding a high aesthetic and technological level of author’s projects with the activation of creative potential at all stages of project activity. The question arises about the constant modernization of the educational process, first of all, the propaedeutic training of students in identifying the essential role of formal composition in solving project tasks. This requires the development of practice-oriented approaches to teaching design students the author's plastic, compositional interpretation of the morphology of existing objects as an integral part of designing new objects. Such an interpretation can be formed as a result of the implementation of an integrative training module based on a step-by-step implementation of complex tasks (exercises) when one introduces a systematic approach to teaching project activities: analytical analysis of the original object — interpretation in formal composition — development of a new object.
