Non-traditional Forms Research Articles

ВИРІШЕННЯ УПРАВЛІНСЬКОЇ ЗАДАЧІ ЯК ЕФЕКТИВНА ФОРМА «OPEN PAPER EXAM»

The article raises the question of the effectiveness of final control in the conditions of distance learning. A description of the traditional form of the exam (oral answer to questions on the exam ticket) is given, its purpose is revealed. The approaches of modern didactics to the use of methods of oral, written, practical (laboratory) control and self-control of education seekers are disclosed; the types of control are distinguished, which are classified according to the scale of learning goals, learning stages, time orientation, frequency, volume, organizational forms of learning, forms of social mediation, types of educational activities, and methods of control. The need to review the forms of final control in the conditions of distance learning based on the competency approach is substantiated. The necessity of rethinking the purpose of the final control is revealed, which consists in checking not so much the amount of theoretical knowledge, but the level of the formation of competences, provided as a result of studying an educational discipline. A comparison of the competencies laid down in the Standard of Higher Education for the specialty 012 Preschool Education and the competencies from the Professional Standard of the Head of a Preschool Education Institution was carried out. The necessity of training future managers of preschool education to make managerial decisions at the stage of obtaining higher education, taking into account the personal qualities that influence it, has been proven. Special attention is paid to views on the functions that the manager of preschool education should perform. The characteristics of non-traditional forms of examination are given: «closed book exam», «Multiple-choice еxam або Shot-question exam», «open-book exam або open paper exam», «“thinking” exam», «“take-home” exam», «practical exam». The process of organizing and conducting final control in the educational discipline «Management in the system of preschool education» in the form of «open paper exam» is described. Examples of management tasks presented for the exam are presented, the procedure of the exam itself is described. The advantages and disadvantages of using this form of final control are determined. Key words: distance learning, final control, exam, non-traditional exam, «open paper exam».

Problems and prospects for the development of remote HRM in Ukraine in the war and post-war period

The development of information and communication technologies in the conditions of a new, digital economy naturally transforms the sphere of management and social and labor relations, and non-traditional forms of employment and labor organization are spreading. Quarantine measures taken by governments in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the war on the territory of Ukraine, have become catalysts for the spread of remote work. The function of human resource management (HRM), performing an important connecting role of coordinating the interests of employers and employees, organizing the labor activity of personnel, itself becomes an object of transformation of labor modes, which requires prompt study of this phenomenon. A survey of HR-specialists of Ukraine in various industries, professional specializations and age groups revealed the prospects of remote HRM due to the availability of material and technical base, software and existing experience of "emergency" transfer to remote mode. At the same time, the existing socio-psychological barriers (prejudices of management, lack of informal communication, emotional defects in communication in the online work format) will contribute in the future, according to the majority of HR specialists, to the spread of a mixed work format in its various forms: distribution of working time for work in the office and outside the office; fixing the format of remote work for some categories of personnel and maintaining the traditional format for others; transition of some industries to remote employment. The results revealed actualize the need to search for scientific, theoretical and practical solutions to overcome obstacles to the development of remote work (including HRM) in the new economy.

Practicing coopetition for food supply chain sustainability: a contextual perspective in the Norwegian fishing industry

ABSTRACT With growing concerns about sustainability, competing companies in the food supply chain are compelled to engage in non-traditional forms of collaboration. Coopetition (i.e. horizontal collaboration with competitors) is gaining attention as a means of improving sustainability performance in supply chains. However, little is known in the existing literature about the causal mechanism and conditions of coopetition to improve supply chain sustainability in the food industry. Based on an embedded case study in the Norwegian fishing industry, we posit several propositions and develop an empirical framework delineating the relationship between coopetition and supply chain sustainability. The case study research is informed by semi-structured interviews corroborated by relevant secondary data. Our findings reveal a set of dynamic capabilities through which coopetition improves supply chain sustainability. Besides, laws and regulations, and certification and standards, positively impact the relationship between coopetition and supply chain sustainability. Conversely, insufficient funds, conflicts of interest, and firm size affect the same relationship negatively. This study contributes to the literature by providing valuable insights into coopetition as a source of dynamic capabilities. In addition, our results show how coopetition can best be leveraged by managers to improve the sustainability of the food supply chain.

Changes in posttraumatic growth, core belief disruption, and social support over the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Post-traumatic Growth (PTG) is the positive psychological change that may occur after a highly stressful situation that shakes a person's core beliefs about the world. During 2020, the United States experienced the COVID-19 pandemic and a highly contentious political election, both of which have the potential to disrupt core beliefs and evoke perceptions of PTG. Post-traumatic growth, core belief disruption, perceived social support from humans and pets, coping strategies, and stressful events were assessed in 201 participants from the United States (Mage: 35.39, SD: 14.60) at four time points from April 2020 (T1) until April 2021 (T4). While total PTG did not significantly change from Time 1 to Time 4, perceptions of personal strength and new possibilities increased, as did core belief disruption, and the use of coping strategies decreased. Higher PTG was reported by those who owned pets, those who knew someone who had been hospitalized due to COVID-19, and those who knew someone who had died of COVID-19. While rating COVID-19 or politics as the most stressful event at Time 4 did not correspond to differences in PTG, those who perceived the event to be resolved had higher PTG than those who perceived the event to be ongoing. Having COVID-19 personally and vaccination status was not associated with differences in Post-traumatic Growth. PTG at Time 4 was predicted by core belief disruption and social support in the full sample and in the pet owners only sample, and by support from video conferencing for the full sample only. Time 4 PTG was also predicted by core belief disruption, problem-focused coping, and avoidance coping. Results are discussed in terms of the PTG theoretical model. Additionally, implications for interventions aimed at fostering psychological growth, including through non-traditional forms of social support (i.e., remote communication and perceived support from pets) are addressed.

Семейные стратегии региональной молодежи

In the conditions of modern economic and political transformation, alternative fami-ly, marriage and reproductive attitudes are beginning to be broadcast to young peo-ple. These changes are directly correlated with the rejection of traditional family val-ues, the desire for self-realization, career growth and subsequent delayed childbear-ing. Such values are actively promoted as a “correct and convenient” model of behav-ior. How effective is such a popularization of new attitudes and how the family life strategies of young people are changing is an important issue from the standpoint of demography and national mentality. The purpose of the article is to study and analyze the family strategies of regional youth in the context of modern value transfor-mations. The article presents the results of a sociological study conducted among the youth of the Belgorod region (the method of collecting information is a questionnaire survey). The study revealed respondents' ideas about family, marriage, children, the formation of family strategies and their relationship with other life strategies (migra-tion and career). Trends in the change in the perception of the institution of the fami-ly in the minds of young people were identified, which are determined primarily by a more loyal attitude to non-traditional forms of marriage and family relations, a change in conservative ideas about the distribution of family roles, and the desire for various forms of self-realization outside family relations.

Lived environmental citizenship through intersectional lenses: The experience of female community leaders in rural Chile

The 2019 social uprising in Chile revealed the widespread discontent the citizens of this country experience. In particular, rural areas were part of this social mobilization during which discontent around environmental issues were particularly salient. However, we still know little about the daily experiences of environmental suffering outside urban areas, and the different ways individuals and collectives confront it. To tackle these issues and contribute to the broader discussion about environmental citizenship and non-traditional forms of mobilization and activism, we build on the experience of the “School for Female Leaders on Socio-environmental and Territorial Issues”, a research-action joint-venture project that brought together women from different non-urban districts of the Metropolitan Region with a team of social and social scientists and practitioners. Sharing experiences about environmental suffering and the particular ways female leaders respond led us to propose the concept of lived environmental citizenship, which accounts for the incompleteness these women felt in relation to the promises of formal citizenship, and their personal, community and political work to address it. This concept and the findings of our research contribute to enhancing discussions on gendered rural and environmental politics.

Stochastic models of Mendelian and reverse transcriptional inheritance in state-structured cancer populations

Recent evidence suggests that a polyaneuploid cancer cell (PACC) state may play a key role in the adaptation of cancer cells to stressful environments and in promoting therapeutic resistance. The PACC state allows cancer cells to pause cell division and to avoid DNA damage and programmed cell death. Transition to the PACC state may also lead to an increase in the cancer cell’s ability to generate heritable variation (evolvability). One way this can occur is through evolutionary triage. Under this framework, cells gradually gain resistance by scaling hills on a fitness landscape through a process of mutation and selection. Another way this can happen is through self-genetic modification whereby cells in the PACC state find a viable solution to the stressor and then undergo depolyploidization, passing it on to their heritably resistant progeny. Here, we develop a stochastic model to simulate both of these evolutionary frameworks. We examine the impact of treatment dosage and extent of self-genetic modification on eco-evolutionary dynamics of cancer cells with aneuploid and PACC states. We find that under low doses of therapy, evolutionary triage performs better whereas under high doses of therapy, self-genetic modification is favored. This study generates predictions for teasing apart these biological hypotheses, examines the implications of each in the context of cancer, and provides a modeling framework to compare Mendelian and non-traditional forms of inheritance.

To Ring or Not to Ring: What COVID-19 Taught Us about Religious Heritage Soundscapes in the Community

Despite church bell ringing being directly influenced by purposive human action, often as a liturgical function, it creates a community soundscape with ascribed heritage values. While general heritage management processes and decisions are informed by heritage professionals with a broader range of experience, we find that church bell ringing is contrary to this process. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how a stochastic disruptive event can dramatically alter soundscapes on a community-wide scale. Here, the effective power over bell ringing often rested with the individual clergy at the local level and is subject to that individual’s personal preferences. This has serious implications to non-traditional forms of heritage, such as intangible sounds and soundscapes. In realizing the value of sound signals and soundmarks, we highlight the need to formally recognize these sounds of religious settings and consider them in heritage frameworks.

Place of Public Libraries of Ukraine in the Modern Information Space

The aim of the article is to reveal the current areas of representation of domestic public libraries on the Internet and social networks in the context of digitalisation. The research methodology of the article was based on the use of the optimal set of general and special research methods. In particular, the broad scientific principles of systematisation and comprehensiveness of knowledge, unity of theory and practice were used. The use of analysis, synthesis and generalisation also contributed to the achievement of this goal. The study of the information resource of the sites of regional universal scientific libraries was carried out from the point of view of the complexity of presenting the content of its generation, focused primarily on the needs of communities. The scientific novelty of the article is that the need to strengthen the representation of domestic public libraries on the Internet and social networks is justified, which complicates their organisational structure and diversification of non-traditional methods and forms of work. Current areas of Internet representation are represented in the example of the K. A. Timiryazev Vinnytsia Oblast Universal Scientific Library and D. I. Chizhevsky Oblast Universal Scientific Library, on the e-pages of which the developer has the opportunity to share information on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Google. It contributes to more effective dissemination of messages, popularisation of the book collection itself, the attraction of more users, formation of its positive image and ultimately accumulation of reputational capital. Conclusions. It is argued that today public libraries of Ukraine are actively involved in the process of digitisation of their funds, present digital copies on their websites and advertise this resource on social networks, adapting it to mobile devices. Domestic public libraries have digitised vast amounts of their holdings; the work was carried out according to their programmes, regardless of the plans of other libraries. The author has found that today the top public libraries of the country are authoritative institutions and powerful information centres that form and maintain multiple and high-quality information resources. The modern user has access to the world’s leading libraries and their information resources via the Internet, which constitute the world information space.

A REVIEW OF HERBAL MEDICINE USED IN WOUND HEALING

The herbal medicine in wound management involve disinfection, debridement & provision of a suitable environment for aiding the natural course of healing. Here we are report on some plants, which are used as wound healing agent in traditional medicine around the world

AN AUTOETHNOGRAPHIC APPROACH TO IDENTITY EDUCATION AMONGST CROSS-CULTURE KIDS IN LITHUANIAN SCHOOLS

While Lithuanian schools face an influx of repatriated pupils post-Brexit and due to the COVID 19 pandemic, there is still no clear framework to support schools in integrating the increasing Cross Culture Kids (CCKs) and its school community and beyond. This paper examines the application of autoethnography as a pedagogical strategy for school agents to foster identity narrative spaces in classrooms and as a research method for investigating identity formation in educational contexts nurturing cross-cultural competencies in Lithuanian classrooms. This piece is part of the preparation work conducted for the upcoming serial cultural dialogue workshops with CCKs between 15-18, which borrows from the TARMAC ‘multicultural story’ framework (Ward and Keck, 2021). While autoethnography engages individuals in cultural-analysis-style interpretations of self-reflection, this process importantly aids the location of selves in one’s own narratives by exploring the self-other, personal-political, and self-society didactic- for all the stakeholders in the dialogue- such as the workshop facilitators/researchers and the CCKs and its non-CCK counterparts. This leads to the implications of philosophical and practical education approaches exploring identity and intercultural communication in alternative and non-traditional forms (Wall, 2006). Overall, this paper contributes to the formation of cross-culture transitional care awareness and strategies implemented in Lithuanian schools.

Практическое осмысление нетрадиционных форм занятий в кооперативном обучении как способ изучения иностранного языка в педагогическом вузе

The purpose of the study is to present the experience of using various non-traditional forms of conducting classes in cooperative learning as a learning strategy that involves students’ cooperation in groups, increases motivation and contributes to critical thinking development. The paper analyses the practical experience of work that is aimed at implementing the principle of cooperative learning and makes it possible to activise the educational process in the discipline “Practice of Oral and Written Speech of the English Language”, to increase the level of foreign language proficiency and helps to form professional competencies of future teachers. Scientific novelty of the study lies in describing the stages of working with non-traditional forms of conducting classes in cooperative learning with language students at a pedagogical university. The paper shows the types and order of tasks when using a cooperative learning strategy. As a result of the study, the researchers have developed three-stage non-traditional forms of conducting classes within the cooperative learning strategy for students pursuing a degree in “Pedagogical Education”.

Transformation Of Legal Regulation Of Labor in Ukraine In The Context Of The Experience Of Foreign Countries Under Covid-19 Conditions

The article examines transformation of the legal regulation of flexible working hours, home-based work and teleworking in Ukraine in the context of the experience of foreign countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is investigated that under quarantine conditions the application of these forms of labour organization has increased and their legislative regulation in Ukraine and foreign countries has improved. Currently, in Ukraine flexible working hours are applied not only to employees who work under an employment contract, but also to government employees. The legal regulation of home-based work and teleworking has undergone some transformations from their initial identification to the subsequent differentiation. Legislative consolidation of teleworking has led to the establishment of a new institution, namely the right to disconnect (the period of free time of the employee who works remotely). Comparative characteristics of flexible working hours, home-based work and teleworking according to the laws of Ukraine are identified. It has been found that the legalization of non-traditional forms of labour organization including flexible working hours, home-based work and teleworking under quarantine conditions has allowed maintaining the stability of labour relations, ensuring social distance of workers and reducing the morbidity level during the COVID-19 pandemic.

INTEGRATED LESSONS IN CHEMICAL EDUCATION

The features of integrated lessons in the chemistry teaching process are described in this article. The opportunities of increasing the effectiveness of teaching chemistry are identified on the basis of the highlighted advantages of this lessons’ type teaching. It is shown that an integrated lesson is a specially organized lesson, the purpose of which can be achieved only by combining knowledge from different subjects (biology, physics, mathematics, computer science). It is aimed at considering and solving a problem, allowing to achieve a perceptual, synthesized understanding of the subject under study by students, harmoniously combining the methods of various sciences, having a practical orientation The article provides information that today in chemistry lessons, in addition to the classroom-specific form of organization of the educational process, it is advisable to use non-traditional forms of education, such as integrated lessons. It is shown that any components of the pedagogical process can be integrated in the lesson: goals, principles, content, methods and means of teaching. When, for example, the content is taken, any of its components can be distinguished for integration in it: concepts, laws, principles, definitions, signs, phenomena, hypotheses, events, facts, ideas, problems, etc. It is also possible to integrate such components of the content as intellectual and practical skills and abilities. These components from different disciplines, combined in one lesson, become system-forming, educational material is collected around them and brought into a new system.

Legal regulation of non-traditional forms of marriage and family relations

The article is devoted to the issues related to the legislative consolidation of legal norms governing non-traditional marital and family relations. The article reveals the concept of family and marriage. Different types of non-traditional models of family relations and their classification are considered. The state of legislative consolidation of norms providing state registration of same-sex relations in Ukraine and the world is analyzed. The key points of ensuring the protection of the rights of persons who intend to enter into a same-sex marriage are highlighted. The decisions in the complaints of same-sex couples to the European Court of Human Rights have been studied.

Sharpening the Focus of Free Speech Law: The Crucial Role of Government Intent

Contemporary free speech law is typically misfocused. This misfocus serves neither the purposes underlying the institution of free speech nor any broader social rights and interests in conflict with freedom of speech. As a general matter, the adjudication of free speech claims should properly focus, centrally, on the intent of the regulating government. More specifically, courts should focus crucially on whether the government has, in enacting or enforcing its speech regulation, intended to suppress or disadvantage a presumed or actual idea or its expression. This sharpened focus would allow the courts to responsibly address a surprisingly broad range of free speech cases with a substantially diminished need for attention to a number of artificial, if not unnecessary, judicial doctrines that have gradually been incorporated into the free speech case law. This Article first briefly establishes the nature, and the typical costs, of official inhibition of speech in general. The Article then more extensively examines a range of the contemporary case law, with attention, successively, to the recent student speech case of Mahanoy Area School District v. B.L.; to cases involving various sorts of borderline and non-traditional forms of speech; and then to questions of content based and content-neutral regulations of commercial and non-commercial speech, as raised by the case of Reed v. Town of Gilbert, Arizona and the later case law. The Article then addresses the problem of properly inferring, or otherwise ascertaining, any meaningful government intent to suppress or disadvantage a particular idea. A brief conclusion then follows. Throughout, it will be useful to remember that in all sorts of free speech cases, the relevant government’s intentions are likely to have been multiple; partly conflicting; or perhaps mutually linked, if not inseparable. Commonly, a government that is restricting speech may have an intent to suppress or disadvantage an idea where that intent is somehow linked to a more benign intent to discourage some perceived public harm that is thought by the government to result from the speech in question. On our approach, if there is any causally significant government intent to suppress or disadvantage an idea, the speech restriction generally must fail. The result should follow even if the same restriction could have been adopted with no such invidious intent, and for worthy public purposes. Thankfully, not all substantial restrictions on speech involve any intent to suppress an idea. Thus some restrictions on, for example, political speech, along with many instances of restrictions on libelous speech; fraudulent speech; politically favored speech that is irrelevant to the forum; noisy or distracting speech; perjury; or speech that would impair national security can be enacted without any causally significant hostility to any idea that the speaker wishes to express. But again, regardless of the nature of the speech in question, if the restricting government harbors any causally relevant intention to suppress or disadvantage the idea in question, the speech restriction should generally be struck down. The social costs of such a judicial response to such a speech regulatory intent need not be substantial. Such a focus would, on the other hand, helpfully allow for reduced judicial attention to, if not a complete bypass of, a number of currently ubiquitous and largely distracting free speech tests and categories.

Focusing on transient chaos

Recent advances in the field of complex, transiently chaotic dynamics are reviewed, based on the results published in the focus issue of J. Phys. Complex. on this topic. One group of achievements concerns network dynamics where transient features are intimately related to the degree and stability of synchronization, as well as to the network topology. A plethora of various applications of transient chaos are described, ranging from the collective motion of active particles, through the operation of power grids, cardiac arrhythmias, and magnetohydrodynamical dynamos, to the use of machine learning to predict time evolutions. Nontraditional forms of transient chaos are also explored, such as the temporal change of the chaoticity in the transients (called doubly transient chaos), as well as transients in systems subjected to parameter drift, the paradigm of which is climate change.

The article reveals the essence and role of formative assessment of students' educational achievements in geography in the context of the competence approach and in accordance with the requirements of the New Ukrainian School. It is noted that from the 2022/2023 academic year, the gradual implementation of the State Standard of Basic Secondary Education will begin, accordingly, students of general secondary education institutions, in particular 6th grade, will switch to a new learning model, a component of which is a new system for evaluating students' educational achievements. It is indicated that taking into account the experience of formative assessment in elementary school and ensuring continuity in assessment approaches is important for the implementation of the tasks of geographic education in all cycles of education. Separate techniques and tools of formative assessment that can be used in geography lessons are singled out and analyzed. Examples of exercises that are used at different stages of the lesson during formative assessment are given, including the games "Play in groups with a map", "Catch the cartographer's mistake", "Find the extra word". It is noted that in the process of teaching geography and evaluating the educational achievements of students, the teacher can use such techniques of written control as: geographical dictation with mutual control, "blitz control", "self-checking on the informant's card", solving crosswords. To establish the expediency of using crosswords as a formative assessment of educational achievements, a survey of 9th grade students was conducted, the results of which indicate an interest in this type of control. Non-traditional forms and methods of testing students' knowledge and skills using computer technologies, which can serve as a tool for formative assessment, are considered. Our observations of students' activity confirm the feasibility of using separate online services in geography lessons for formative assessment of both the learning process and the result of students' educational achievements. In particular, the use of such online services with the use of test verification is effective for testing students' knowledge of geography. as "For Lesson"; Kahoot!; Online Test Pad, as well as Gartic Phone game technologies.
