Формування інструментарію маркетингових комунікацій щодо просування освітнього продукту

Modern progress in technological development and the emergence of innovative products in the field of digitalization have contributed to the emergence of new organizational capabilities and instruments in the field of communications. The progress of innovative development in the field of digital technologies opens up wide opportunities for their use for the exchange of information in the field of economic education. The emergence of new digital methods of communication provides wider opportunities for the use of new forms for the exchange of information in the field of education. The aim of the study is to form a instrumentarium of marketing communications for the promotion of an educational product. The emergence of new means of communication as instruments of the educational process creates qualitative changes in the conditions of educational activity. American and English scholars devoted their efforts to studying the theory of public communication, they noted that marketing communications are expanding and covering more and more audiences, thereby developing into integrated communications. An example is the theoretical model of the persuasive act, or the Lasswell model, in which the communication process is presented as an act considering five basic questions: «Who?», «Says what?», «In what channel?», «To whom?», and «With what effect?». This model is considered to be a reflection of the «theory of political propaganda». Taking into account some difference between the orientation of the «theory of political propaganda» and the consideration of the communication process from the point of view of marketing, because it is more complex and multifaceted, an algorithm for building communication is proposed. The provided algorithm for constructing communication, in contrast to the Lasswell model, is more detailed and therefore can be more widely used in various spheres of educational and economic activity, as well as in public life. Modern innovative inventions of online educational platforms contribute to the globalization of the education market. Educational activities go beyond the physical territory through the use of the Internet. The process of globalization of education is accompanied by increased competition among training providers. Among the modern effective marketing activities of educational activities, the introduction of digital technologies in the educational process can be noted.

STRATEGIES FOR LEARNING PRONUNCIATION ONLINE: SERBIAN EFL LEARNERS’ PERSPECTIVE

Digital tools and online teaching platforms offer vast opportunities for language learning, yet, even though many indeed focus on pronunciation practice only, there seems to be a noticeable lack of research supporting their effectiveness. The current paper investigates Serbian EFL learners' views on the possible strategies employed for successful online pronunciation practice. A total of 105 tertiary-level English-major students at the Faculty of Philology and Arts, University of Kragujevac, Serbia, participated in the pre-designed survey concerning online learning strategies with a particular focus on pronunciation practice. The primary instrument was a questionnaire consisting of three parts: part one concerned with the demographic information on the sample, part two containing statements related to offline pronunciation learning strategies and part three focusing on online pronunciation learning strategies. Based on the results, dominant strategies for pronunciation practice in face-to-face classrooms are directed toward improving individual sounds and intonation. Thus, both segmental and suprasegmental features are incorporated in the students’ pronunciation instruction. When it comes to the pronunciation learning strategies online, students seem to prefer cognitive and metacognitive strategies, while social strategies seem to lack popularity among Serbian EFL students. In general, a relatively even distribution of responses was noted for both ends of the scale for the majority of proposed strategies which is explained by the specific professional orientation of the respondents. The findings underscore important pedagogical implications not only for learning English online, but for the improvement of pronunciation practice in the Serbian EFL context in general.

The Integration of Online Teaching Platform for Art Design and Civic Education

Abstract The integration of art design and ideological and political education in colleges and universities is an inevitable choice for the establishment of moral education, and it is an important part of the systematic project of “educating people”. Based on the relevant countermeasures for integrating ideological and political education into art design courses, this paper proposes an adaptive network teaching platform. The platform constructs a feedback mechanism and recommendation mechanism based on the relationship between students’ ability value and the difficulty of teaching resources and adjusts the difficulty of learning materials by the method of cooperative voting to complete the adaptive guidance. The experimental results show that the experimental group’s performance in all dimensions of Civics is 0.3766 points higher than the control group on average, and the performance of the three art design courses of the students who are taught using this platform is improved by 11.32, 11.91 and 11.92 points on average respectively, and the average number of classroom answers before and after the experiment is improved by 4.35 times. It shows that the integrated teaching of art design and ideological and political education using the network teaching platform proposed in this paper helps to improve students’ art design and ideological and political academic level and is also conducive to the enhancement of learning interest.

Competition between traditional and new providers for students, market share and financial resources is intensifying. In general, despite the negative factors, the number of foreign students tends to increase, albeit rather unevenly across countries. The widespread use of ICT in education and other activities can pose potential threats and challenges: increased competition and lower quality of education, spread of unwanted and anti-social information.

Construction of Online Interactive Teaching Platform for College English Based on Multilayer Perceptual Machine Modeling

Abstract Most of the existing English online teaching platforms are just digital replicas of offline teaching, which cannot fully utilize the advantages of information technology. Based on the learning theory of constructivism, this paper builds the functional architecture of a personalized English interactive teaching platform and completes the design of the main functional modules. According to the quantitative results of the platform’s user proposition requirements, a matrix description method for English test papers is proposed, and an algorithm is designed to realize the automatic generation of test papers. Meanwhile, the resource recommendation mechanism of the English platform is optimized using a multilayer perceptual machine. Unstructured English learning resources are processed based on the word vector representation method, and for the problem of insufficient processing of nonlinear data in the DN-CBR model, multilayer training is carried out using the MLP to improve the perceptual degree of this part of the data, and the design goals are verified through the test of the teaching platform. The correlation coefficient between self-assessment difficulty and topic difficulty is 0.368, and the correlation coefficient between self-assessment difficulty and positive error is 0.163, indicating that there is a moderate correlation between learners’ self-assessment difficulty and the difficulty of the system topics and between learners’ self-assessment difficulty and positive error. The MLP-based pushed questions’ difficulty is adapted to the learner’s personalization level by dynamically revising it based on their learning process data.
