Open educational resources for medical community

The study reveals the great importance of open educational resources (OER) in the field of medical education and scientific activity. Objective. To develop an “OER navigator for medical community”, containing metadata of information resources with open free access. These resources are intended for use in curricula at all stages of medical education, in scientific activities and self-education. At the present stage, the social significance of education in terms of the world concept of “sustainable development” is defined as the most important component and means of survival for civilization (UNESCO). In medicine, with its special mission to preserve the health of the population, the urgent task consists in the training of highly qualified personnel. Close connection of the future of mankind with the processes of digitalization determines the availability of information resources and the use of modern technologies as key aspects of the organization of educational processes. The analysis of the scientific literature and the study of the experience of OER application revealed that OER represent an important tool in the information support of the scientific and educational sphere. OER contribute to forming a personal educational environment, learning continuously and improving skills worldwide, in perpetuity and regardless of financial capabilities. The amount of data presented on the Internet is huge, therefore, the search for necessary information takes a significant amount of time. The developed Navigator (http://lib-os.ru/obrazovatelnye-resursy/navigator-oor-medicinskogo-soobshhestva/) provides meta-data of information resources with open free access, thereby allowing representatives of the medical community at all levels of education and research to quickly and effectively find reliable scientific data and peer-reviewed sources of information.

USING THE METHOD OF "INTEGRATED STRATEGY" IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

This article proposes to develop an "integrated strategy" method of innovative nature in improving the organization and management of technological educational processes, for the first time to use demonstration and reorganization approaches, so that the process of four stages of effective organization of technological educational processes (organizational, propedeutic, basic and final stages) and the existence of three main conditions (strengthening students ' thinking, objectivity.

Life tasks and value orientations of future teachers under conditions of a digital educational environment

The present study aims to establish and substantiate statistically significant correlations between the life tasks and value orientations of future teachers in training in a digital educational environment. Valid and reliable psychodiagnostic tools were applied to measure the study variables. Two correlation matrices were constructed: one between the terminal and instrumental values and another between these values and the parameters of life tasks. The results reveal that the values “entertainment”, “high demands” and “responsibility” present the greatest number of significant correlations, which indicates that they are the most dependent values and prioritized by future teachers. A notable finding is that the parameter “integrity of life” does not correlate significantly with any of the values studied. This suggests that life integrity is an autonomous dimension in the lives of future teachers. The correlations identified in this study have important implications for the planning and organization of the quality educational process in universities, particularly in digital environments.

INITIAL ANALYSIS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CREDIT-MODULE SYSTEM OF EDUCATIONAL PROCESS ORGANIZATION AND ATTITUDE OF MEDICAL COLLEGE STUDENTS TO IT

The training of a mid-level healthcare professional involves studying a significant number of different subjects and assimilating a large amount of information in a short period of time. The credit-modular system of educational process organization according to the standards of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) of education provides good prospects for the implementation of this task, ensuring the acquisition of relevant knowledge and competencies, which is necessary in the context of competition on the global labour market and innovative development of society.
 The purpose of the study was to find out and analyse the opinions of students, academic and teaching staff of Physiology department, their attitude and suggestions regarding the implementation of ECTS at the Professional Medical College of IFNMU, where this system started working since 2021.
 Materials and methods. An anonymous survey was carried to achieve the set objectives. Separate questionnaires were drawn up for students and teachers, which included questions about their attitude to teaching disciplines (including Physiology) in accordance with the ECTS principles, its positive and negative aspects, wishes and suggestions for improving the educational process organization and other items. In total, the questionnaires contained eight questions for teachers and sixteen for students.
 Results. The analysis of the survey results gives grounds to assert that not all students of the Medical College are fully ready to the study based on ECTS at the moment, transition from passive to active forms of it, where individual and creative work is preferred. Actually, in our opinion one of the key problematic issues of the credit transfer system of education is that students are not entirely focused on the priority of independent learning of the curriculum material and a significant part of extracurricular learning in it. Also most students consider that the amount of material assigned for independent study is too much. On the other hand, our teaching experience shows that they do not always work through the topics properly, although there are consultation hours during extracurricular time, where students can discuss unclear questions with the teacher. The attitude to test control as an integral part of the educational process and one of the methods of students’ knowledge evaluation is ambiguous. Among the positive aspects of ECTS education the most often are noted the following: constant and versatile preparation for classes, a better evaluation system, the possibility of retaking unsatisfactory marks, which is an important additional motivation to improve the level of knowledge from the subject and improve academic performance.
 Conclusions. As a result, the following conclusions can be drawn: a) as of today, the perception of the IFNMU Medical College students the credit-modular system of education, their readiness and attitude to it are quite ambiguous with the corresponding positive and negative aspects; b) there is an evidently need for further work to improve the training of both students and teachers, optimisation of their collaboration and creation a closer relationship between them; c) it is necessary, in our opinion, on the one hand, to preserve maximally the positive achievements of the national education system, on the other hand – to use effectively the experience of European countries. This will create the basis for training a qualified, mobile, creative specialist of mid-level healthcare.

Rational combination of program modules from sports games within the framework of the "New Ukrainian School" concept to optimize the process of physical education in 5th and 6th grades

TRANSFORMATIONAL PROCESSES IN ADULT EDUCATION IN THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND

The article discusses the transformational processes in adult education in the Republic of Poland. The normative legal documents that influenced the education of adults are analyzed; documents in the field of adult education, resolutions introduced for the period of temporary restriction of the functioning of units of the education system, in particular higher education institutions and other educational institutions, as well as employers, in connection with the prevention, counteraction and fight against COVID-19. It is concluded that, depending on the epidemic situation, online classes, hybrid or stationary classes were limited or cancelled, which affected both the organization of the educational process of adult learning, and its participants. Classes using distance learning methods and techniques have become a priority. The transformational processes in adult education in the Republic of Poland allow us to conclude that there is a clear relationship between adult education and change. Polish andragogues in their reflections and studies draw attention to this relationship. Attention is drawn to the fact that there is a double impact of transformations on adult education: the goal of transformation is not only to reduce the tension that led to the transformation, but also to create new conflicts that should stimulate the individual to creative activity in this new situation It is also necessary to pay attention to the dual impact of the transformation of the system on adult education: it is always stated that its purpose is not only to reduce tension, which led to transformation, but also to the creation of new conflicts that should stimulate the individual to creative activity in this new political formation. The forms and content of adult education today are determined by three vectors: the needs of the labor market, the resources and capabilities of the modern information society, and the individual aspirations of adults for education. The synergistic effect of the interaction of these vectors may be a change in the way of perception and organization of educational processes for adults, which will lead to a decrease in their institutionalization.

Methods of Teaching and Pedagogical Peculiarities of Organizing of the Educational Process Aimed to Issue a Newspapers by Students

In the article the peculiarities of the organization of educational process of preparing and publishing newspapers by students of the first (bachelor) level of higher education in the specialty «Journalism» are explored, from the point of view of general approaches in the pedagogics of modern higher education. The professional discussion on the content of journalism education in Ukraine was considered through the prism of needs and challenges of the higher education of our country. The author proposed a personal view on solving the problem through deepening the pedagogical mastery of a modern journalism teacher. Using the example of laboratory classes in the discipline «A Journalistic Craftsmanship» taught on the Faculty of Journalism, Advertising and Publishing of Odesa I. I. Mechnikov National University, the author specified shapes and lines of the pedagogical strategy used to train future journalists through practical and creative activities, which are aimed at preparing and publishing issues of newspapers. The logical content of the algorithm of mutually determined actions of the teacher and learners is shown in detail, not as a traditional dichotomy of «subject-object» education, but as equal actors in a state of cooperation. The text of the article provides a general description of the study of the discipline «A Journalistic Craftsmanship» and describes the order of producing newspapers by students’ editorial boards. The interactive nature of the form of student education within the laboratory of periodical press has been proven. The pedagogical methods used by principals of the students’ newspaper editorial boards, the peculiarities and conditions of conducting laboratory classes are indicated, the didactic capacity of the content of the educational discipline «A Journalistic Craftsmanship» is systematized. In the conclusions, the author proposed to consider the pedagogical activity of a principal managing a students’ editorial board as it consists of three major components: a professionalization of students’ practical rate, a pedagogical management, a pedagogical mastery. The results of the study will be interesting to managers of the educational process, as well as to the teaching staff of higher education institutions, administrative staff, and specialists in the field of media.

Концепция цифрового университета: структура, управление и организация педагогического процесса

The research focuses on the concept of a digital university, its structure and management, as well as the arrangement of the educational process. According to an examination of academic papers, approaches to the establishment of a digital university may be classified into two broad categories: a digital university as a commercial model and a digital university as a public benefit. The authors propose a notion of a digital university using an integrative approach, merging four interdependent elements: digital format, digital environment, digital resources, and digital platform. A digital format is a type of combination of digital technology (a form of interaction) and content (an act of interaction). The digital environment is a space where interaction takes place. Digital resources are tools for activating the concept of a digital university (used by participants). A digital platform is an algorithm; a method of implementing the concept of a digital university (interaction implementation); and a platform for interaction (a structure where interaction occurs). The authors have created a digital university mana­gement structure by fusing the notion of a digital university with traditional management theory, which includes forecasting, planning, organization, incentive, coordination, and control for formulating and attaining the institution’s aim. As a fundamental strategy of managing the digital transformation of universities, the researchers propose an inclusion policy and an ecosystem approach. The authors have also developed a pedagogical activity model in the context of higher education digitalization, which encompasses educational process organization, teaching, value exchange, extracurricular activities, research activities, self-education, and advanced training. The study also examines future development potential, with the ultimate goal of realizing the university 4.0 concept.

Обучение иноязычной коммуникативной грамматике студентов неязыковых направлений подготовки: проблемы и пути их решения

The study aims to substantiate the need to improve the organization of the educational process for teaching foreign language communicative grammar to students in non-linguistic training programs. The paper presents the factors that determine the need for students of non-linguistic universities to learn grammar within the framework of a communicative approach. The problems hindering the successful implementation of this process are as follows: the lack of academic hours allocated for practical classes, contradictions between the communicative and the traditional approach, the low level of skills in the field of teaching communicative grammar among the teaching staff, reliance on a conscious approach to teaching foreign grammar, mismatch of the scientific and methodological support complex for teaching students to modern trends regarding the communicative orientation of foreign language training. The paper is the first to substantiate the significance and to describe the problems of teaching foreign language communicative grammar to students in non-linguistic training programs, which accounts for the scientific novelty of the study. As a result, the study has found that the problems of teaching communicative grammar to students in non-linguistic training programs are manifested at all levels of the educational process organization: at the level of approaches (communicative and traditional); at the level of the teacher’s activities to develop their professional skills; at the level of the university management determining the number of academic hours allocated for foreign language practical classes.

Analysis on Implementation Paths of Digital Empowerment of the Teaching Links

At present, the development of digital technology continues to promote the transformation of education and teaching. The digital empowerment of teaching models prompts teachers to comprehensively transform into student-centered teaching concepts. All aspects of teaching are designed around students. The digital construction of teaching resources provides a basis for personalized teaching for students. Through digital empowerment of various teaching links such as teacher teaching process organization, student learning methods, and academic evaluation methods, we can truly realize personalized training of students and teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

Szkolnictwo zawodowe: obecne problemy i powojenne perspektywy

The article deals with the urgent issues of the vocational education development which are caused by the martial law in Ukraine. They touch the migration processes of students and teachers at vocational education institutions, financing and educational process organization. The data of the contingent dynamics of the students and teachers at vocational education institutions have been analyzed. It proves the number reduction of the students by 3.5 to compare with the pre-war indexes. We fix the stable tendency for lowering the quantity of the teaching staff. Among the reasons for the described situation within the teachers, one may identify the lack of the desire for professional retraining and a low level of professional mobility. Based on the analytical data, the map of the ruined/destroyed vocational education institutions has been formed. The analytical review provides the conditions to overcome the actual development issues of vocational education including systemic state support, recovery of the vocational education system and organization of an effectivenetwork of educational establishments, its re-orientation to the economic needs of war time, provision of the education content and quality which coincide with the current demands and the needs of labor market, formation of safe conditions for studying and learning, arrangement of psychological support of all educational process participants, stimulation and encouragement to realize non-linear paths of professional development of the teachers considering the present realties, involving higher informal and informative education.

Peculiarities of Master’s Degree Student training for the transport construction field in Tyumen Industrial University

The peculiarities of the educational process organization during the training of masters of engineering and technology students on the «Project management of construction of bridges and overpasses on highways» and «Digital construction» majors at the industrial academic department «AO-Mostostostostroy-11» of Tyumen Industrial University are considered. The disciplines studied by master students of these majors are briefly summarized. A rather representative list of graduate qualification works topics, defended by master students, with the indication of publications in journals from the Higher Attestation Commission list on these topics is given. There is a final qualification works list of topics offered to master students who entered the Master’s program in this 2023 year. Efficient organization of master’s students training was possible due to the joint work of «AO Mostostroy-11» with Tyumen Industrial University and invitation of scientists and teachers, known for their works among bridge-builders in Russia and abroad, for master’s students training. In the process of master’s students training, there are guided tours being organized for master’s students to the structural subdivisions of «Mostostroy-11 JSC», all of them participate in scientific conferences, and also with the support of «Mostostroy-11 JSC» get acquainted with modern achievements of the construction industry at the international construction forum and exhibition «100+ TechnoBUILD» in Yekaterinburg. This situation with training of highly-qualified personnel is not observed in all universities. Despite the great shortage of bridge-building specialist, for some reason nobody pays attention to the huge deficit of qualified teachers of bridge (and not only bridge) engineering in universities, which is explained by insufficient financing of the academic staff in regional universities. The management of «Mostostroy-11 JSC» correctly assessed its needs in highly qualified personnel and made unique efforts to create a basic department and to invite and create conditions for effective work for teachers.

The assessment of integrative potential of simple and compound interest models in increasing students’ financial literacy

Introduction. The article studies the contradiction between the unprecedented surge in financial technologies, which determines the relevance of financial decision-making, and the lack of the educational process organization in an economic university that takes into account the cumulative effect of using formalized models of simple and compound interests in terms of integrating academic disciplines. The objectives of the study are (1) to identify opportunities to increase students’ financial literacy using the integrative potential of academic disciplines and (2) to assess the relationship between skills in applying formalized methods of financial decision-making based on the models of simple and compound interests, and the dynamics of financial literacy that contributes to positive financial behaviors. Materials and Methods. The methodological basis of the study is the Pareto principle, or the 20/80 rule, which says that 20 % of efforts give 80 % of the result and vice versa. Financial literacy of 224 students of Omsk economic universities was evaluated by means of an online survey. The questions reflected the objective level of respondents’ financial literacy, the subjective level and the need for further knowledge and skills in financial literacy. Results. The study has identified the possibilities of increasing students’ financial literacy by using formalized models of simple and compound interests in terms of integrating academic disciplines. The results of the analysis confirm that a higher level of financial literacy correlates to skills in applying simple and compound interest models and reveal a positive dynamics of the cumulative effect of integrating academic disciplines. The use of the Pareto principle in this study confirms that skills in applying formalized models of simple and compound interests, which account for about 20 % of financial literacy (in terms of attitudes, knowledge and skills), determine 80 % of the positive dynamics in the overall financial literacy level. Based on the findings, recommendations for managing educational process in order to ensure the positive dynamics of digital financial literacy have been provided. Conclusions. The study suggests that it is a promising idea to use the integrative potential of simple and compound interest models in increasing financial literacy that contributes to positive financial behaviors of economic university graduates.

Effective Physical Education in Inclusive Classes from the Point of View of Physical Culture Teachers

Topicality. Today, the New Ukrainian School was introduced, and with it, inclusive education. The importance of providing high-quality educational services for schoolchildren is growing. Scientific research devoted to the fundamental aspects of inclusive physical education appears to be insufficient. The Purpose of the work is to establish a rating of factors that prevent the effective organization of the physical education process in inclusive classes of general secondary education institutions; to find out which approaches are important for physical education in inclusive classrooms to be effective. Methods. A survey of physical education teachers (n=73) was conducted. Consistency of respondents’ answers was determined using Kendall’s concordance coefficient. The Results. Among the main problems are the imperfection of the legislative framework, the lack of proper content of the program material, limited access to methodical support for inclusive physical education lessons. It is also necessary to solve the problems associated with ignoring the motivation of students and the low level of children’s physical condition. Problems also arise as a result of the mismatch of human resources with modern needs. The lack of objective information about the health and physical development of schoolchildren, an imperfect system of medical and pedagogical control, in particular, incorrect criteria for dividing students of inclusive classes into groups make it difficult to form homogeneous groups in an inclusive class. Teachers need support from specialists in the field of medicine and rehabilitation. Conclusions. The survey of teachers confirms the presence of numerous obstacles in the physical education of students in inclusive classes. The introduction of the position of a rehabilitation teacher can significantly increase the effectiveness of physical education lessons in inclusive classes. In order for the physical education lesson in inclusive classes to be effective, it is important to divide the class into homogeneous groups that are small in number of participants depending on the level of children’s abilities and for each of them to adapt the means and differentiate the volume and intensity of the load. Modification of equipment for students with special educational needs is rational.

Improving Financial Literacy of Students: Specificity and Opportunities of Regional Higher Education Institutions

Introduction. Despite the significant measures and programs implemented by the countryʼs leadership to improve the financial literacy of the Russian population, students of Russian universities are still not financially literate enough. In this regard, it is necessary to develop and implement a set of intra-university educational practice-oriented technologies that can improve financial literacy and economic independence of students during the period of university education. The purpose of the article is to show the features and opportunities of regional universities of the country in solving the problem of improving financial literacy of student youth. Materials and Methods. The study of the problem of formation of financial literacy of student youth during university education was conducted on the basis of a questionnaire survey of 565 students from 29 universities of the Russian Federation in May‒June 2022 using a specially designed questionnaire via Google Forms. The results of the questionnaire survey were processed using the SPSS program and the method of comparative analysis of responses of students of leading (federal, national research, metropolitan) and regional Russian universities, which made it possible to identify and analyze the peculiarities of studentsʼ financial literacy formation depending on the status of their higher education institution Results. Self-assessment of students of regional universities of their financial literacy showed its low level, indicating the insufficiency or lack of serious knowledge in the financial sphere. At the same time, students understand the importance of financial literacy and indicate their willingness to participate in various forms of training on this issue. To implement the educational process aimed at intensive formation of studentsʼ financial literacy, the system of continuous practice-oriented formation of financial literacy is proposed. Discussion and Conclusion. The materials of the article can be useful in the organization of educational process in universities to improve financial literacy of students. In the future, the study will be supplemented by analyzing the formation of studentsʼ financial literacy at different stages of education on the basis of taking into account the influence of age, year of study and other factors.

Teaching a Foreign Language to Students of Non-Linguistic Specialties in Blended form of Education: Problems, Solutions, Perspectives

Blended learning is becoming increasingly popular, on the one hand, because of its flexibility, as it gives students the opportunity to simultaneously receive education and build a career, and, on the other hand, because it relies on the use of information and telecommunications technologies that modern young people are proficient in. The article provides the analysis of the educational process organization experience in the mixed and distance forms of blended learning at Baikal State University; the role of a teacher in organizing students' self-study, levels of self-study when studying a foreign language, the description of the Moodle course ‘Foreign language in professional sphere’. It also reveals advantages, disadvantages and problems of working with students of blended learning and offers ways of solving these problems. The experience of teaching English to students based on mixed and distance models shows the importance of direct interaction of students with each other and with the teacher, the need to increase classroom contact hours, to form small groups to study a foreign language.

Educational trends of 2023 in the field of physical training and education of teaching staff

The article concerns the detailed investigation of contemporary educational trends of 2023 in the field of physical training and education of teaching staff. The notion of education trends was defined as prospective changes within the educational environment and it was found that these trends are oriented towards enhancement of the quality of education and solving the existing challenges. We proved that realization of educational trends in the field of physical training and education of teaching staff requires the consideration of contemporary ideas about training of future specialists of physical culture and sports in pedagogical theory and practice. It was revealed that innovative changes in the field of physical training and education of teaching staff may occur at the different levels like content, using of pedagogical instruments, assessment, organization of educational process. We differentiated educational trends that are typical for 2023. They are the following: transition to distance learning; using of information and communication technologies; realization of interdisciplinary links; implementation of innovative pedagogical technologies; improvement of assessment; creation of inclusive educational environment; building of secure educational environment. The article analyzes the positive changes in the field of physical training and education of teaching staff. It was found that implementation of these educational trends makes physical training and education of teaching staff more efficient and helps to prevent a number of challenges arising due to external or internal factors. Also, the research explains the main peculiarities of realization of educational trends in order to enhance the efficiency and results of higher education.

Functions of Parents Homeschooling Their Children: The Case of Lithuania

The article presents the most illustrative results of a broader empirical study carried out in Lithuania in 2021–2022. The aim is to answer the question of what the functions of parents are and how the child’s education is organised in the case of homeschooling. The research data were collected using a semi-structured interview method and were processed using content analysis. The data were analysed under the topic “Functions of parents homeschooling their children”. The topic combines the following seven sub-topics: planning and organising the educational process, selecting/developing educational content, designing learning environments, ensuring a safe learning environment, recording learning achievements, assessing learning achievements, and ensuring socialisation. The research involved ten informants (five parents homeschooling their children and five heads of educational institutions) selected by criterion sampling. To summarise the results of the empirical research, it should be highlighted that when parents choose to homeschool their children, they essentially take over the main function of educational institutions and become responsible for the organisation of the entire educational process. The child is involved in the planning of the educational process; the individual needs of the child are better taken into account, and the child’s autonomy is encouraged. The curriculum and schedule are flexible, based on the child’s acquired knowledge, competences, and skills rather than on the number of lessons. Educational environments are constantly changing and are usually chosen by the child. Parents who participated in the study have identified difficulties in analysing the documents of the education system and the lack of access to the electronic diary. The heads of educational institutions have expressed doubts about the pedagogical preparation of parents to homeschool their children and to ensure purposeful socialisation; however, the parents have noted that socialisation is sufficient and takes place according to the child’s individual needs. In the authors’ opinion, the research carried out raises topical issues for discussion and the initiation of new research in this area, with the aim of better understanding the context of the phenomenon of homeschooling.

Flipped learning model in the course «Culture of Oral and Written English»

It has been сreated a course «Culture of Oral and Written English» with the implementation of blended learning, which makes it possible to form professionally oriented communicative competence of students enrolled in the master’s programme. It has been considered micro-, meso- and macro-levels of course introduction and function. It is argued that the practical implementation of the blended learning (henceforth BL) technology is the organization of educational process within the course «Culture of Oral and Written English», where face-to-face interaction (traditional learning) in the classroom is supplemented by distance learning in the web environment and independent learning that includes classroom independent work, during which problem-based tasks are performed, as well as extracurricular asynchronous, synchronous, asynchronous-synchronous independent work through the Microsoft Teams application and the chatbot СhatGPT. The course implementation context is described with the information on the conditions, curriculum and the need for it in the master’s program. It is outlined the way of developing the course, which includes its structure and specific tasks. It has been elaborated the tasks for the formation of professionally oriented speech competence in writing as a subcompetence of professionally oriented communicative competence of prospective English university teachers. It has been inferred that the peculiarities and technological advantages of the BL technology are due to the active use of the flipped learning (FL) model that inverses the methods of traditional teaching, implements the material presentation outside the educational institution and determines practical cooperation in the classroom as a leading form of learning activities organization. The value of the FL model is the ability to regulate students’ independent learning, which they carry out individually or together in pairs/mini-groups, and classroom learning for group classes, where students can check their understanding and correct comprehension of the topic content, exchange opinions, debate, and the teacher becomes a facilitator, who directs the work of the whole group and each student towards their individual learning trajectory. Different types of prospective teachers’ independent work for their skills development in writing texts of academic genres (articles and essays) are demonstrated on the example of tasks for the development of English professionally oriented speech competence in writing.
