Болашақ арнайы педагогтардың инклюзивті құзыреттілігін қалыптастырудың психологиялық-педагогикалық негіздері

One of the main changes in the world educational practice is the formation of the term inclusion (integration) instead of the term integration (integration into a single whole). While Integration provides for the adaptation of the child to the requirements of the system, inclusion provides for the adaptation of the system to the needs of the child. At the same time, one of the problems that need to be solved when implementing the country's inclusive education system is the qualification of personnel and making changes in the process of training future teachers. Of particular importance is the problem of the formation of inclusive competence, of which professional competence is an integral part. To date, the problem of the formation of inclusive competence of future teachers has not been sufficiently studied in theoretical and practical aspects. The article analyzes scientific, psychological and pedagogical sources, where the psychological and pedagogical foundations of the formation of inclusive competence among future special teachers are considered. The analysis showed that the definition of the concept of «inclusive competence of future special teachers» is considered by various authors in psychological and pedagogical research and «inclusive competence» belongs to the category of professional competencies, which has its own structure. The structure of inclusive competence of future special educators refers to professional competencies and consists of certain components. Taking into account these components determines the success of the formation of inclusive competence among future special teachers.

Influence of gender stereotypes on the socialization of the children of older preschool age

Within the framework of the theoretical analysis of psychological and pedagogical sources, the content and essence of the concepts “gender”, “gender socialization”, “gender sociability”, “gender stereotypes” were clarified and pedagogical conditions, namely: organization of an effective subject-playing area of the group for meaningful enriching the experience of gender communication in the children’s team; stimulation of the interaction of different gender subjects in a single social-and-developmental educational environment of a preschool educational institution; presence of positive incentives for interaction in a mixed-gender group as a factor in the formation of a child’s gender competence were determined. It was proven that their implementation was ensured through an optimal combination of effective forms and methods of working with children of older preschool age, aimed at the formation of gender socialization, culture of relationships with peers of the same and opposite gender, a tolerant attitude towards them, and ability to establish friendly partner relationships. Specified pedagogical conditions were implemented at three successive stages: cognitive-oriented, organizational-targeted, activity-directive, using the following forms and methods of work as: a series of games, exercises, conversations, communication, work in nature, method of problem situations aimed at raising children’s awareness of gender roles.

PROSPECTS OF POSITIVE EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE IN THE ORGANIZATION OF SCHOOL BILINGUAL EDUCATION IN UKRAINE

The main tasks were determined: the study of innovative methods of teaching foreign languages involved a theoretical analysis of the Ukrainian pedagogical experience; essential characteristics of the main concepts in the context of the investigated problem are carried out. The article analyzes the meaning of the terms “bilingual education” and “bilingual instruction”. The author concludes that these two concepts are used quite often in pedagogical sources. It was revealed that a special place today is occupied by an approach in which a foreign language is used as a means of mastering the content of various general education subjects. This approach is not new, its varieties have been used to study non-linguistic subjects for centuries, and today it is considered an effective way of forming bilingualism. Nowadays, students’ native language is also used during education, so this approach has different names, such as “immersion education” or “bilingual teaching of subjects”. In this case – mixed use during learning of two languages – native and foreign. On the basis of the analysis of thepositive European experience in the development of school bilingual education, it was proposed to: intensify the cooperation of general educational institutions with European schools and representations (embassies) of certain countries on the territory of Ukraine; to improve the level of training of specialists who is to possess multifaceted competence, which includes subject, language, general pedagogical (didactic, communicative, organizational skills) and additional (“intermediary”) competence, which involves the teacher’s ability to convey the essence of the subject to students by means of a foreign language.

Organization of Project Activities of 5-6 Grade Students in Сomputer Science Lessons: Scientific and Theoretical Analysis

The study is devoted to the problem of scientific and theoretical analysis of the possibilities of the practical application of project activities for 5–6 grades students in Computer science lessons. The aim of the article is to justify the importance and relevance of the implementing educational projects by 5–6 grades students, solving research tasks, which should lead to the formation of comprehensive skills, information literacy and culture. Methods. To achieve the aim, the author used the following methods: analysis, synthesis of regulatory, legal, scientific and pedagogical sources, generalization. Results. The relevance of the problem of application of project technology in the study of the educational subject «Сomputer science» by students has been proven. The project method should be considered as a system of education, according to which students acquire knowledge and skills in the process of planning and performing gradually more complex practical tasks. The project-based learning environment is dominated by students' self-activity and activity. This pedagogical technology should be implemented in several stages and be cyclical in its implementation. At the same time, project activities should be carried out in several stages, which include: constructive, value-oriented and evaluative-reflective. Project technology should include: transformation of the student into the central figure of the educational process; the absence of reproductive learning with the simultaneous dominance of cognitive activity; independent acquisition and the possibility of applying the acquired knowledge; joint reasoning, discussion and research; respect for students, taking into account the integral personality of students; the presence of an important problem; creativity; structuring the content of the project; the presence of the final version. It is emphasized that the work on the educational project should involve free choice of the project by students and consideration of their interests, independence and problem solving, integration of knowledge, skills and abilities from other fields of science and technology, creativity, practical application of the acquired knowledge, and gaining individual experience. Сomputer science teachers should focus on the individual characteristics of students in grades 5–6, as youth of this age have differentiated, stable and effective cognitive interests. Accordingly, it is necessary to stimulate students' cognitive interest through activities that are practically oriented. In turn, this allows you to introduce students to a problematic situation that will affect their intelligence, will, emotions, feelings, desires and actions. Given these circumstances, a Computer science teacher should use such methods as brainstorming, analogies, modulation, and cataloging in project activities. The use of the brainstorming method leads to the activation of students' cognitive activity; the method of analogies deals with the formulation of hypotheses; modeling leads to independent construction of models, development of new notation systems, creation of ideal subject environments; cataloging helps to the compilation of stories in accordance with the questions posed by the teacher. Conclusions. It is noted that when organizing the project activity of students in grades 5–6, school teachers should take into account the mandatory application of the principle of continuity to the education of this age category pupils (the initial stage of implementation of the NUS Concept in primary school; project skills acquired by primary school pupils; available IT competencies; low level of independence); types of independent work, appropriate and adequate to the age characteristics of pupils; the presence of a learning problem in the organized project activity; personal and collective creativity; and the development of the project activity. The educational outcome of organizing project activities in Computer science lessons is the integration of theoretical and practical knowledge, search and research activities, the students’ orientation in the information space, the critical evaluation of information, the formation of skills to analyze, systematize, generalize the material obtained, the development of skills for cooperating and self-educating in the solving practical problems process.

The research methodology is based on theoretical methods, such as analysis of scientific and pedagogical sources and generalization of the results of previous studies, as well as empirical methods, including data analysis and research on the practical use of MOOCs. With the rapid development of digital technologies, the question of studying the real number of Internet users in the world and the dynamics of their growth arises. The Worldometers website was used for the study as a reference. With the help of observation and mathematical calculations, the dynamics of changes in the number of Internet users and the number of printed publications in the world have been revealed. The electronic resources of educational institutions of all levels of education that have experience in implementing MOOCs in the educational process are analyzed. The existing digital platforms with mass open online courses in Ukraine are studied. The results of the study are covered in the article. Based on the results of the study, the stages of designing of open online courses have been formed. The article also examines the experience of learning in an online environment by the authors of the article and identifies the differences in the results of theoretical and empirical research. A hypothesis was put forward about the reasons for the difference in the results of the study. In the process of further searching for practical cases of the implementation of MOOCs in the educational process, a successful state project with the best performance indicators was found. Ways to improve the quality of education in the online environment are also identified and proposed. The results of this study can be useful for developing strategies for improving the educational environment and training specialists in Ukraine and abroad.

ACTUAL ISSUES OF TRAINING OF FUTURE WORKERS OF THE SOCIAL SPHERE FOR SELF-PRESERVATION IN PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES IN MODERN CONDITIONS

The article presents a theoretical analysis of some modern problems of professional training of future workers in the social sphere for self-preservation in the period of martial law. According to the purpose of the research, the need to clarify and expand the meaning of the concept of "self-preservation", which is traditionally associated with a natural instinct, special behavior in stressful situations, has been identified. Manifestations of self-preservation of future workers in the social sphere are noted, including: self-knowledge, awareness of emotions, moods, feelings, self-acceptance; analysis and adequate assessment of one's condition; understanding of one's capabilities, abilities (mainly physical, intellectual, mental); self-control and stress resistance; self-motivation, overcoming internal barriers to achieve the goal; critical thinking in various situations, the ability to quickly find a way out, generate new ideas; predict emotional and professional burnout, as the need to preserve one's own mental health while performing official duties. Based on the analysis of domestic scientific psychological and pedagogical sources, the problem of the lack of targeted and substantiated research on the formation of self-preservation skills in future workers of the social sphere, which would take into account current events on the territory of Ukraine and the needs of citizens for help, support and protection, who suffered from military aggression, was revealed from the Russian Federation, were forced to evacuate to safe places, were subjected to mental and moral pressure. The article reveals the peculiarities of volunteering as a way of practical implementation of self-preservation of future specialists during the period of martial law. During the study, the need to modernize the existing system of professional training of future workers in the social sphere for self-preservation and work in martial law conditions was revealed. Modern educational and professional programs do not foresee the need for the formation of skills for self-preservation, do not contain special disciplines, and therefore cannot provide high-quality training of highly qualified specialists. In addition, it has been proven that the professional activity of future workers in the social sphere is closely related to health (physical, mental, social, spiritual), therefore, in the process of obtaining higher education, one should strive for awareness of the internal connections between health and self-preservation.

PARTNERSHIP IN THE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF AN INSTITUTION OF HIGHER EDUCATION

The article raises the problem of managing a higher education institution on a partnership basis, which allows organizing joint work between educational institutions, enterprises, scientific and public institutions, organizations and associations, administration and employees, teachers and students, stakeholders and practice bases. Research methods were used to achieve the goal: analysis; systematization and generalization; comparative analysis; forecasting internal and external partnership relations in the process of managing a higher education institution. Based on the analysis of scientific and pedagogical sources, the topic of research on partnership in institutions of higher education and partnership in management was investigated, the concept of "partnership" in institutions of higher education was clarified. The author tentatively distinguishes internal and external partnership in higher education institutions. It was found that the internal partnership in the management of the institution of higher education is implemented through the interaction between the management and subordinates. External partnership has a wider space of connections: with stakeholders and centers of practice, other institutions; with the administration of the city/region where the higher education institution is located, regional (territorial) education management bodies; with well-known theoreticians and practitioners in the field of management, education, science, etc.; with other institutions of higher education; with international organizations, institutions abroad, ensuring international cooperation of the institution of higher education. The partnership in the management of the institution of higher education is characterized, and the influence and motivation of such a relationship on the development of education and science in the country, the institution of higher education in general, individual professional growth of pedagogical and research-pedagogical workers, and the quality of education by students of higher education are clarified. The perspective of the research is defined as a detailed study of ways to implement external partnership in the management of a higher education institution at the state level.

Благополучие в образовании: современные теории благополучия, исторический контекст и эмпирические исследования

<p style="text-align: justify;">Nurturing students’ well-being is a significant trend in education. Although the concept is intuitively clear, it is difficult to define. The paper reviews philosophical, psychological, sociological, and pedagogical sources and aims to answer how modern theories of well-being are applied in education and what is the socio-psychological context of students’ well-being. The authors argued that well-being is a characteristic of the whole school system, and even its small details can affect the level of well-being It is important to consider the well-being of not only students but also of school staff. Well-being in research is interpreted more broadly than pleasure and positive affect — the need for competence, personal development, and the system of relationships are important elements of well-being. It is important not only to create a positive environment but also to educate students (and perhaps teachers) on how to use available resources to promote well-being. Different groups of students face different risks, therefore, when studying well-being at school, it is important to select exactly those indicators of well-being that will correspond to the risks of a particular vulnerable group. For example, gifted students can have some difficulties in relationships with classmates, thus while studying their well-being it could be useful to choose indicators of well-being that are related to relationships.</p>
