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.

FORMATION OF STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION IN MASTERING PATHOMORPHOLOGY DISCIPLINE

Abstract. Motivation is an essential factor of human activity, which, in turn, determines the development and efficiency of activities, including the educational process. A contradiction was revealed between the objective need to form the motivation of cognitive activity of students of a medical higher education institution (HEI) through the introduction of interactive technologies considering both the internal features of learning and external requirements for medical university-educated specialists – on the one hand, and the lack of scientifically grounded technology for forming the motivation of a medical HEI students’ cognitive activity using the latest systems – on the other hand.
 The main factor influencing students’ motivation to study is mastering of knowledge, skills and abilities that will lay the groundwork of their future professional activities. Students engaged in research are motivated to self-development and achievement. These are the ones that make students work hard, solve complex problems, engage in self-education, and overcome difficulties to achieve the highest results.
 The article presents the ways and methods of formation the students’ motivation when mastering the Pathomorphology discipline.
 In order to improve ways and methods of students’ motivating, we analysed scientific sources on the specifics of professional and educational activity motivation, the principles of educational process organisation at the Pathological Anatomy Department.
 Under trying circumstances of today, every applicant for higher education has the opportunity to obtain a full range of information on the Pathomorphology discipline on the Pathological Anatomy Department website and in the university repository for productive self-training and mastering practical skills and abilities provided by the discipline’s programme. To increase motivation in the study of pathomorphology and the level of assimilation of the material. The department uses general and special innovative methods that depend on the specifics of studying the discipline: explanatory-illustrative (informational-receptive), contextual, problematic, research, heuristic. Different strategies should be used to encourage students to become more intrinsically motivated, developing their sense of competence and control over their learning, and to motivate students with interesting content.
 Under present-day conditions, teaching Pathomorphology requires constant improvement in compliance with medicine development level and the ability to combine classical approaches to teaching with new learning concepts. The decline in traditional teaching methods efficiency, which is observed when considering the peculiarities of students’ learning activities, requires correction and implementation of modern innovative teaching methods. Improving the methods of learning motivation will help to increase the level of study material mastery. Applying new information technology and technical aids in distance and blended learning makes it possible to demonstrate and study morphological changes in pathological processes and diseases, which in turn will maximise the level of learning material mastering. The variety of illustrative material (macro preparations, micro preparations, breadboard models, 3-D models, training charts and diagrams, videos) taken in a whole lays the foundation of basic knowledge. Engaging students in research work is an important factor in learning activities motivating.

The purpose of the article is to provide a concise overview of the potential and methods for implementing groundbreaking technologies in the management of higher education. Research methods. The research utilized a variety of scientific and specialized research techniques, such as analysis and synthesis, comparison, generalization, and systemic and structural analysis. The scientific novelty is to highlight the prospects, ways of implementation, as well as benefits of involving innovative technologies in the management of the educational process in higher education institutions. Information and innovative technologies and computerization in all areas of education have been one of the main trends in the development of modern society for many years. Although new information and innovative technologies are being introduced into the educational process, higher education institutions are provided with computer equipment and constant access to the Internet, which is openly used by teachers and students, where these processes have formed a new scientific and technical basis for the development and operation of virtual tools in education. The virtual educational environment formation is one of the most significant methodological and pedagogical tasks of the efficient organization of the educational process, which consists in developing the higher education establishment’s infrastructure, namely the information environment, which involves implementing new information services. Conclusions. It has been established that under current conditions, innovative technologies serve as tools for solving individual pedagogical tasks and provide new opportunities for managing the educational process. The progressive development of the educational process organization requires the involvement of new learning models integrated into information and communication technologies. As a result, higher education establishments will receive the following benefits: teaching students the skills they will need in further education throughout their lives and future professional activities; access to information and communication outside the classroom; use of innovative technologies to support the pedagogical development of teachers through external networks, etc. The use of innovative technologies in the management of the educational process in universities requires the development of the infrastructure of the education environment: the commissioning of computer equipment, network support, information terminals, educational and methodological techniques and technical support for innovative technologies, as well as the development of a strategy for equipping higher education institutions with the necessary educational software. The ways of implementing innovative technologies in the management of the educational process in universities are identified: development of partnerships between higher education institutions, government agencies and other organizations; availability of qualified personnel whose activities are aimed at implementing innovative technologies in the management of the educational process; development of a strategy that defines goals and objectives, necessary resources and schedule for a particular higher education institution.

DIGITAL INTERMEDIATION, INTERNET USAGE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF COGNITIVE STYLES

Application of information and communication technologies in education has changed not only the forms of organization of educational process but also the way students learn. Studies over the last decade have shown that availability of the internet has changed the way students search, perceive, remember and assimilate new information and knowledge. This paper uses the works of cultural-historical psychology, media studies and cognitive psychology to ground the idea that the use of the media affects the development of cognitive styles. Computer technologies are conceptualized as cultural means, as psychological tools and new forms of intermediation between the consciousness and productive activity. As such, computer technologies and specifically the internet have the potential of influencing the development of higher psychic functions, the forms of cognitive self-control and self-government. The paper discusses the application of Sternberg’s conception of thinking styles to the problems of the influence of computer technologies on the development of styles of cognitive self-control. As empirical evidence the paper uses the materials of five focus group discussions with school and university teachers conducted within the project “The impact of internet usage patterns on the development of youth’s cognitive styles”.

The purpose of the research paper is to study the contribution of Lebedyn St. Nikolas Convent of Kyiv Eparchy to the development of woman’s education in Ukraine in the second half of the 19th – the beginning of the 20th century and the peculiarities of the establishment and organization of the woman’s professional school at it.
 Scientific novelty. The contribution of Lebedyn St. Nikolas Convent and its reverend mothers to the development of education at the regional level is analyzed in the paper. The history of Lebedyn Women’s Professional School establishment is highlighted, and the stages of its activity and the level of material support from the convent are characterized. Attention is paid to the peculiarities of the educational process organization, as well as the staff composition and the formation of the female pupils’ contingent of the school.
 Conclusions. Four stages can be distinguished in the history of Lebedyn Women’s Professional School: 1859-1872 – establishment and development of a four-grade school; 1872-1886 – activities of a sixth-grade school; 1888-1890 – establishment of a two-grade women’s school; 1890-1918 – a two-grade, four-year women’s theological (professional) school.
 The history of the school shows that it was a fully formed educational institution with a distinctive management system, proper staffing, and teaching and educational process. The school aimed to give children a practically useful education. Learners mastered crafts, the basics of art, and various labor specialties that could have been useful in their future life. The process and methods of teaching were interconnected with spiritual and religious education.
 It is uncovered that the deterioration of the school’s financial situation and the lack of support from the state for such educational institutions made the convent leadership close the sixth-grade women’s school in 1886. In 1888, a two-grade women’s school of the type of two-grade parochial schools with a four-year term of study was established on its base. Since 1890, a two-grade, four-year women’s spiritual (professional) school had been functioning at the convent, the educational process of which ensured learners mastered the program of four-grade of the women’s eparchy school and various types of women’s needlework.

ОРГАНІЗАЦІЯ ОСВІТНЬОГО ПРОСТОРУ НОВОЇ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ШКОЛИ: ДИДАКТИЧНИЙ АСПЕКТ

The article analyses the issue of the organisation of the educational space of the New Ukrainian School. The author focuses on the possibilities of the impact of the educational space of primary school on the quality and effectiveness of the learning process of primary school students. The educational space is considered a certain part of society, which creates the conditions for personal development and the opportunity to form the personal space of the subject of the educational process, and the educational environment – as a set of natural, physical, and social objects and subjects that influence the formation of the student, to his\her creative, professional and personal development, ensure the conditions for comfortable activity of an education applicant. The main requirements for the educational environment of a modern primary school are defined as safety, psychological comfort, barrier-free access, aesthetics, and functionality. The author argues that in the context of the implementation of the Concept of the New Ukrainian School, the educational space is undergoing a number of transformations due to the introduction of a competence-based approach to the organization of the primary school education process, the requirements for the development of XXI century skills in students; re-emphasis on innovative technologies and forms of work with students, the processes of informatisation of the education system, and the implementation of activity-based and personality-oriented approaches. The educational space is undergoing a series of transformations, and updating of spatial and material equipment requires a thoughtful arrangement of the classroom. The leading role in organizing the educational space of the New Ukrainian School is performed by a teacher, involving primary school students in this process whenever possible. The paper analyses the purpose and features of the organization of learning units and learning centres (reading and writing centres, natural sciences, and art centres) in the classroom, substantiating the optimal ways of their functioning in the process of teaching primary school students. The current study proves that the educational space of the New Ukrainian School significantly affects the effectiveness of the learning process and the implementation of didactic tasks of primary education.

МЕТОДИЧНІ ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ОРГАНІЗАЦІЇ ТА ПРОВЕДЕННЯ УЧНІВСЬКОЇ ОЛІМПІАДИ З ФІЗИКИ В ДИСТАНЦІЙНОМУ ФОРМАТІ

The article proposed by the author deals with one of the most pressing issues for employees of education management bodies, methodologists and scientists who are part of the organizing committees and juries of the All-Ukrainian student olympiads of various levels - how to properly, qualitatively, comply with all standards, and at the appropriate level organize and conduct the relevant student olympiads. The article examines the issue of methodological features of the All-Ukrainian student physics olympiad at the regional level. The study of modern scientific, pedagogical, special literature and the legislative framework revealed the absence of a unified approach to solving this problem today, although some efforts have been made recently in the introduction of distance and mixed forms of organization of education process, implementation of digital transformation of the education system, digitalization of elements of the educational process, implementation of mobile learning technologies. These are developed and implemented digital and information resources, platforms, educational environments, tools and services, approaches, methods and some practical experience. Understanding the processes of organizing and conducting olympiads of various levels allowed the author to outline the possible existing approaches and options for organizing and conducting experimental and theoretical rounds of the III (regional) stage of the All-Ukrainian student physics olympiad in remote form, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as to characterize the methodological features of these processes. For each proposed variant of organizing and conducting an experimental tour in remote form, the author provides examples of possible tasks of an experimental tour in physics based on a creative experiment using improvised means, a virtual experiment with existing platforms, the use of mobile learning elements based on existing mobile applications. The author also considered methodological features of organizing and conducting a theoretical tour of the olympiad in a remote format. The article describes possible expected difficulties in organizing and conducting the physics olympiad in a remote format and suggests ways to solve them. Based on the analysis of the presented material, the author made general conclusions and proposed directions for further scientific and methodical research of this problem.
