Аdaptation of foreign students in the framework of the implementation of the third mission of the university

Introduction. The research topic is conditioned by the need to develop innovative adaptation measures for international university students, which are an important channel for transferring information about the country to the world community. Decoding the national values of the recipient country corresponds to the intention of the third mission of the university, understood as its contribution to the development of the regional, national and global community. The purpose of the study is to analyze the satisfaction of foreign students with the conditions of the new educational environment of the university and to develop a comprehensive program for their adaptation. Materials and methods. The study was conducted in Novosibirsk State Technical University using the survey method by filling out a questionnaire by respondents and a formalized interview. Closed alternative questions were used in the questionnaire. International students from near and far abroad participated in the survey. The data was processed and visualized using the method of bar and pie charts. The results of the study. The data of the conducted survey of foreign students allow us to conclude about the generally successful adaptation environment of the university. However, some indicators have revealed the need to improve the adaptation process, mainly in its socio-cultural aspect. The answers to the question "How easily did you join the educational process of NSTU?" revealed the fact that about 52% of foreign students felt discomfort after arriving to study in Russia, especially this should be attributed to citizens of non-CIS countries. When answering the question "Have you encountered difficulties in establishing contacts with Russian students and the local population due to differences in values, traditions and customs?" 44% of respondents acknowledged the existence of problems. Thirty-nine percent of respondents considered the main barrier to effective communication to be a lack of understanding of the motives of Russians' actions. New formats of adaptation measures are required that decode the system of cultural values of the recipient country for foreign students and involve them in the scientific, cultural and economic life of the region. Thirty-two percent of respondents spoke about their lack. Conclusions. The factors of successful adaptation of students at the university are identified, new formats of socio-cultural activities are proposed that can demonstrate national norms and traditions, such as an adaptive VR course, virtual travel, sightseeing routes around the city and the university area, adaptation quests. Types of adaptation activities are included in a comprehensive program designed to convey both the values of the university, its location region, and the values of the recipient country.

The implementation of a practice-oriented approach in teaching students of technical universities based on the development of a digital twin of the information system of an industrial enterprise

Introduction. In teaching future engineers and mechanics, difficulties arise when they study such disciplines as Theoretical Mechanics and Strength of Materials. As a rule, this is due to the need to consolidate students’ acquired theoretical knowledge. However, carrying out a sufficient number of strength tests of products is associated with significant financial costs, so it is often economically expensive to obtain results by implementing physical experiments, and in some cases it is simply impossible. In this regard, for teaching it is advisable to use accurate distributed dynamic mathematical and software models of objects, that is, digital twins. Materials and methods. As a prototype of a digital twin, an information system of an industrial enterprise was considered, designed to monitor the stress-strain state of a beam using strain gauge data. 198 students and 8 teachers from the Faculty of Mechanics and Technology and the Faculty of Automation and Computer Engineering of the Novosibirsk State Technical University (Russian Federation) took part in testing the methodology. Methods of mathematical statistics: Pearson's chi-squared test, survey and correlation analysis. Results. As a result of the introduction of teaching methods based on the use of a digital twin, situations were created that required students to critically analyze and include metacognitive skills. The implementation of practice-oriented training when working with a digital twin of an information system of an industrial enterprise has an impact on the academic performance of students (χ2 = 4.08; p < 0.05) and allows students to firmly consolidate the acquired theoretical knowledge and practical skills, which will subsequently allow the formation of sustainable professional competencies. Scientific novelty. The study revealed that learning using a digital twin contributes to a more controlled passage of the curriculum by students, develops qualities such as self-control and self-discipline, and stimulates cognitive interest in a specific academic discipline and the educational process in general. Practical relevance. The main advantage of introducing a digital twin of an industrial enterprise information system into the learning process is the effectiveness of this approach in terms of consolidating and developing practical skills among students. In addition, teaching using digital twins is particularly useful for preparation activities in high-risk industries, where practice at real-life facilities is impossible or difficult.

Interdisciplinary approach to professional training of pre-service foreign language teachers at university

Introduction. An important problem of preparing university students to future professional activity following the principles of sustainable development enunciated by the UNO dictates the need for the use of teaching techniques and methods that allow students to form a holistic worldview, develop critical thinking skills and the need for learning and self-development throughout their lives. The preparation of students to live and work under dynamically changing social and economic conditions and multi-tasking of job responsibilities is presently being solved by various educational technologies based on the principles of interactivity and interdisciplinarity. The aim of this research is the experimental organization of the training of pre-service foreign language teachers on the principles of interdisciplinary approach. Methods and materials. The following methods were used for the data collection and interpretation: analysis of university documentation, survey by means of questionnaire and interview, observation, Wilcoxon rank sum test. The sample group was represented by the third-year students of Novosibirsk State Technical University, majoring in Theory and Methodology of Teaching Foreign Languages and Cultures, Linguistics program. The research was carried out during the period of two years (2020-2022). The total number of students participating in experimental learning is 48. Results. The choice of the groups with the third-year students was defined by the results of the previous research indicating the decrease of learning motivation among the third-year students (37 %) in comparison with students of other years of university studying – 1st year (68%), 2nd year (54%) and 4th year (74%). The reliability of the data was confirmed by the Wilcoxon T-test at Temp <Tcr (at the level of 0.01), where Temp =1, and Tcr has values from 3 to 8 (Tcr=3 (p≤0.01), Tcr=8 (p≤0.01 0.05)). The analysis of the experimental data indicates the relevance of interdisciplinary approach to training pre-service foreign language teachers because of the high motivational potential stimulating interest to future profession. In replying to the questionnaire the respondents recognized the necessity to use interdisciplinary approach in education (‘yes’ and ‘rather yes that no’) – 91,6%, its positive influence on developing professional competence – 89,5 % and doing practical tasks of future professional sphere – 95,8 %. Conclusion. The application of interdisciplinary approach to training university students motivates them to study the chosen profession. That is why it necessitates the importance of further research into organizational arrangements and methodology of its implementation in the university practice.

Social Well-Being of Higher School Teachers: Social Context and Measurement Criteria

The article is considered the problem of the university teachers’ social well-being, that is connected with significant and continuous changes in the social context of the development of the high education institution. Two issues are raised: about the complicated situation (context) and negative determinants impact on the teachers social well-being, and, accordingly, about the relevant criteria for measuring the social well-being in the studied professional group under the current conditions. It is explained that the complex social context and the observed changes in the teachers social well-being are determined by the ratio of objective and subjective factors: the increase in the number of risks and the rapid development of society affect not only the teachers’ status, but also how they aware themselves in these conditions. To confirm the thesis about a possible decrease in social well-being against the background of everincreasing social threats, the results of a sociological survey conducted at the Novosibirsk State Technical University using the questionnaire method (n = 327) are presented. According to these results, most teachers get satisfaction from their work and, above all, work with students, but the frequent changes in the concepts of higher education and emergence of external threats negatively affect the state of social well-being. Although slightly more than half “probably wouldn’t change” their profession for any other, not everyone can fully adapt to the new and constantly changing higher education system requirements. The positive socio-psychological climate in the subdivisions acts as a protective barrier against external threats. In general, the results obtained give reason to think about the need to monitor the state of social well-being of teachers in the process of modernizing the higher education system and create appropriate conditions for successful scientific and educational activities.

The role of non-core disciplines in the professional education of students of technical universities

Introduction. Rapidly developing technological progress and changing economic conditions increase the responsibility of universities for the preparation of highly competitive technical specialists who are ready to work in new economic realities. This determines the importance of motivation for gaining knowledge and skills, acquiring a positive professional identity, which is part of the tasks of professional education. In professional education, the role of specialized disciplines is indisputable, but the possibilities of the variable part of non-core disciplines are practically not used. The purpose of the article is to determine and substantiate the pedagogical conditions necessary for qualitative changes in the process of professional education in a technical university in the study of non-core disciplines. Research methods. The achievement of the goal was facilitated by the use of methods: theoretical (content analysis of psychological and pedagogical sources, generalization, comparison, forecasting, modeling); empirical (testing, interviewing, conversation, questioning, experimental method, analysis of personal experience, pedagogical consultation); methods of information registration and processing. The study involved 72 students and 12 teachers from Novosibirsk State Technical University (Russia) and Karaganda Technical University (Kazakhstan). Research results. The concept of "professional education", used in the context of training technical specialists, has been clarified. The necessity of using the variable component of non-core disciplines for the purpose of professional education of students in the conditions of a technical university is substantiated. The pedagogical conditions for qualitative changes in the process of professional education of students of technical universities in the study of non-core disciplines have been identified and empirically tested: orientation of the content of the variable part of non-core disciplines to the profile of students' training; the use of pedagogical technologies, involving close cooperation and active interaction of all participants in the educational process; introduction of pedagogical means of professional education into the educational process. Conclusion. The introduction of specially organized conditions into the educational process of non-core disciplines contributes to the formation of positive thinking in relation to the professional field, the acceptance of the social mission of the technical profession, the perception of the level of responsibility for decisions made in the vocational subculture. Dynamics of indicators: positive attitude towards the profession increased by 40%, understanding of the importance of non-core disciplines increased by 45%.

Virtual Social Capital of Young Academics

Introduction. The article is devoted to the study of the formation by scientists of their social capital on the Internet. The importance of social capital has always been highly appreciated in the academic environment, however, the “digitization” of social capital as a phenomenon remains poorly disclosed. The purpose of the article is to explore how do young scientists form virtual social capital.Methodology and sources. The methodological basis for the study is formed by “classics” in the field of social capital (P. Bourdieu, R. Putnam, J. Nahapieta) and those modern scientists who have been forming the theory of virtual social capital (N. Ellison, S. Steinfeld, S. Lamp) and have been laying down principles of its measurement (K. Lin, D. Williams, S. Chiu) for the last few years. The questionnaire survey was conducted in January-April 2022. Young scientists of Novosibirsk State Technical University (graduate students, candidates of science up to 35 years old, doctors of science up to 45 years old and employees without a degree up to 35 years old, engaged in research or scientific and pedagogical activities) became the empirical base. The sample with N = 361 was 186 respondents.Results and discussion. The results of the study show that young scientists are more likely to transfer the offline behavior pattern to the online environment, where scientific achievements and academic connections are important in academic communities. Respondents form a virtual social capital of a closed type, transfer existing networks of academic connections to the Internet space, use academic Internet platforms to a greater extent for self-presentation and information search, demonstrate an asymmetric behavior pattern, ignoring the norms of reciprocity in the distribution of resources within a social group.Conclusion. With all the technological opportunities, social prerequisites and expected benefits from the formation of virtual social capital, young scientists are cautious and do not fully realize the potential available in the Internet environment for its increase.

Specifics of humanitarization of engineering education: analysis of engineering students' perceptions and requests

Introduction. The relevance of the research is conditioned by the need to intensify the processes of humanitarization of engineering education due to the increasing importance of social aspects of technological innovations in the situation of aggravating challenges of the high-tech world. The purpose of the study is to analyze the perceptions and requests of engineering students regarding the significance and demand for humanitarian training in engineering education. Research methods. The empirical study was conducted on the basis of Novosibirsk State Technical University (NSTU). 218 students of engineering and IT specialties participated in the survey, questionnaire and associative experiment. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results of the study. The conducted research has shown that the overwhelming majority of respondents (80.5%) have a generally positive attitude towards the category and concept of humanization of engineering education, with the level of enquiry and interest of second year students (89%) being higher than that of first year students (69%). The associative method also reveals generally positive connotations to the image and idea of humanizing the educational process. The ethics course is seen as a separate subject or discipline by 21% of respondents, the majority of students (57%) regard it as an optional course and 11.5% of respondents consider it appropriate to include it as a separate module or thematic section in existing courses. The demand for the inclusion of new ethics courses and modules in the organization of engineering education has been identified. Conclusion. The obtained results can be used as a basis for adjusting training programmes for engineering and IT specialties. Considering the identified certain problematic aspects and shortcomings in students' humanitarian training, it is necessary to expand the segment of courses focused on mastering the tools of ethical regulation in future professional activity. Using the potential of humanities helps to improve the level of general cultural and personal competences and forms specialists of a new format confidently aspiring to the future.

Формирование межкультурной компетентности иностранных студентов посредством адаптационного тренинга в рамках реализации третьей миссии университета «Университет и общество»

The study aims to substantiate the importance of cross-cultural competence formation in foreign students through adaptation training, which is a significant element of the cross-cultural support system for foreign students in conditions that are new for them as a part of implementation of Russian universities’ third mission “University and Society”. The paper describes the factors influencing the process of adaptation in a new cultural environment, identifies the notion and elements of cross-cultural competence, justifies the need to organise adaptation training in cross-cultural communication for foreign students. Scientific novelty lies in determining the goal and components of adaptation training at the first stage of the integration of foreign students into a new cultural environment of the university. As a result, it has been determined that a master class on cooking Russian national dishes as one of the types of adaptation trainings for foreign students (using the example of working with Chinese students at Novosibirsk State Technical University) is an effective pedagogical tool by means of which the parallels between Russian and Chinese cultures that are significant for adaptation are drawn, which contributes to cross-cultural competence development in foreign students.

Технологии BYOD (“Bring Your Own Device”) в элективном курсе физики для инженерных классов

The study aims to introduce the BYOD (“Bring Your Own Device”) concept and BYOD technologies into the organisation of design and research activities of schoolchildren attending an elective physics course of a technical university for engineering classes. The paper considers the features of organisation of an elective physics course for engineering classes of lyceums by a technical university, describes the process of implementing the BYOD concept and adapted BYOD technologies when organising design and research activities of students of engineering classes in an elective physics course, presents an assessment of the results of introducing BYOD technologies in an elective physics course for students of engineering classes at Novosibirsk State Technical University. Scientific novelty of the study lies in developing a methodology for adapting and applying BYOD technologies in the organisation of design and research activities of students of engineering classes attending an elective physics course of a technical university. Adapted mobile BYOD technologies make it possible to organise the learning process that contributes to more effective mastery of fundamental activities of modelling and experimentation by schoolchildren. At the same time, the use of mobile technologies forms the basic components of information competence among schoolchildren, serves as a source of acquiring and improving digital skills. As a result, it has been proved that it is not only possible, but also necessary to apply the BYOD concept and BYOD technologies when organising schoolchildren’s design and research activities in an elective physics course for engineering classes. Students’ own smartphones and tablets are characterised as having sets of various sensors and applications. Therefore, mobile devices can serve as a basis for more diverse and effective design and research activities of schoolchildren in an elective physics course. This includes using electronic sensors and mobile applications to perform and process measurements, creating video reports when designing installations and conducting experiments, mathematical processing of experimental results on video recordings, keeping electronic diaries, participating in video conferences, preparing and recording performances. The analysis of the results of introducing adapted BYOD technologies into an elective physics course has demonstrated a significant increase in schoolchildren’s interest in project research using mobile devices. A more effective organisation of students’ own activities and teamwork has been registered. It is noted that schoolchildren master measurement methods, ways of video recording and processing of experimental results using mobile devices rather quickly. Undoubtedly, the use of BYOD technologies by schoolchildren should be accompanied by control over their work with mobile devices within the scope of the set tasks of project research.

Роль мотивации в формировании готовности переводчиков русского жестового языка к профессиональной деятельности

This research aimed at defining the key motives for choosing profession of a Russian Sign Language (RSL) interpreter and the way they influence students' development of the readiness for professional activity. The participants of the study were 68 students of Novosibirsk State Technical University (NSTU) majoring in Linguistics, the English Language Interpreter and Russian Sign Language Interpreter program, and 6 teachers of RSL combining teaching with interpreting practice. The data were collected through questionnaire with open-ended questions. The questionnaire asked what influenced the choice of the program of studies, about interests in RSL and the deaf community, how attitude towards the profession of RSL interpreter changed after the beginning of studies at the university, and about motivation. Similar questions were given to the teachers but in relation to their understanding of students' motives. Teachers were also asked to express their opinion on what kind of learning and extra-curricular activities motivate students to sustain their interest in the profession of an RSL interpreter. The findings demonstrate that majority of the students have determinedly chosen the program of studies either for pragmatic (state-funded places) or idealistic (interest in “unusual” language, “mystery” of deaf culture) reasons. The studies and interaction with professional RSL interpreters positively influenced their attitude towards future profession. Most of the students value the opportunity to learn from deaf teachers. The teachers identified the same motives of choosing the profession of an RSL interpreter by the students and added that they were trying to maintain students' motivation by organized immersion into deaf culture. The students are involved in various extra-curricular activities with the deaf community. They participate in cultural events, do trial interpreting, and act as volunteers. Such kind of involvement with the deaf community enhances students' intercultural awareness and provides stimulating ground for developing readiness for professional RSL interpreting.

Компилятор с языка программирования EL: усовершенствование и развитие

The implementation of the new multi-paradigm (functionally- imperative) programming language El, developed at the Department of Computer Science of the Novosibirsk State Technical University, in the form of a compiler is associated with the need to find ways to solve a number of complex problems. The current version of the compiler does implement only partially functionality of the language and generates far from optimal executable codes. In this paper, we consider the problem of an efficient compilation of an El-program, taking into account the need to implement new high-level data structures (two-sided lists, vectors with special forms of access, and a number of others) and control structures of the language, which make it possible to uniformly define cyclic and branching computational processes, as well as those laid down in the language a mechanism for explicitly controlling the mutability of variables. The tasks of improving and developing a compiler organized according to the classical multi-platform scheme are briefly considered, in which the front-end (lexical, syntactic, and semantic analyzers) converts the program to be translated into pseudocode of a single format, and used efficient infrastructure for building LLVM compilers as a back-end that turns pseudocode into executable code for different platforms. Execution of all possible operations on elements of high-level data structures (lists, tuples, vectors), as well as on arbitrary-precision numbers, has been moved to the runtime support library and, accordingly, can be deeply optimized. For this structure, the outlined ways of solving the problem of developing and improving the compiler by deep reforming and optimization of the chain of transformations of the translated program implemented by the front-end are formulated. At the initial stage, it is planned to implement a new compiler for two platforms: Linux and Windows.

The use of modified wood in the construction of wastewater treatment plants in coal mines of Kuzbass

PurposeThe purpose of the study is to show an improvement in resistance (permeability) and durability (residual strength) of modified wood compared to natural wood.Design/methodology/approachA relevance way to increase the durability and resistance of wood is processing with polymers. Novosibirsk State Technical University, Novosibirsk State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering (Sibstrin) and the Norilsk State Industrial Institute researched the resistance of elements of mine treatment plants made of wood modified with synthetic polymers. The study was carried out according to V.A. Kucherenko. Modification of such species as birch and pine can significantly increase wood resources by extending its service life and improving its physical and mechanical properties. Latex-organosilicon modifier was used as a modifier.FindingsLatex clogs the capillaries of wood, preventing the penetration of aggressive solutions into it, and potassium methyl silicate interacts with hydrophilic OH groups, increasing the water-repellent properties of the surface of cells and wood capillaries.Originality/valueThe results of long-term and predictive tests of modified wood in aggressive environments of treatment facilities are presented. As a result, diffusion of aggressive media into the wood becomes more difficult and its resistance and durability increase.
