Social activity of an athlete's personality: sociocultural research methodology

Relevance. The study of an athlete's personality primarily involves the study of its socio-cultural nature and structure. Despite the length of the scientific discourse regarding the essence and structure of personality, there is no unified approach in the context of the socio-cultural interpretation of this category in sports. However, each of the definitions of personality presented in scientific sources and supported by relevant research is important and should be taken into account when striving for the most complete understanding of personality. In turn, none of the methods can provide a complete description of an athlete. Each of them only reflects a separate aspect of his abilities, personal qualities and traits. Therefore, it is important to use all methods in combination to help coaches, practitioners and teachers in organizing educational work, training processes and an individual approach to teaching.The purpose is to characterize the general methodology and methods of studying the personality of an athlete in the context of socio–cultural knowledge.Objectives: to define the conceptual basis of the sociological study of the athlete's personality; to present methods for its study; to establish the directions of their application.Methodology: the methodological design of the study is based on the use of philosophical, sociocultural and pedagogical concepts and approaches.Results. The social activity of an athlete's personality is largely determined by how effectively sociocultural approaches are involved in its socialization. The desired result is possible with the use of the entire arsenal of tools, methods and special exercises.Conclusions. At the present stage of development of the sociology of sport, sociocultural methodology becomes decisive in studying various aspects of the formation and development of the athlete's personality. The scientific determinacy of using special methods of its study is associated with a specific result that must be achieved by an athlete in a particular sport. The complex use of methods of social diagnostics of personality is the main resource in organizing the practical activities of coaches and mentors.

The Importance of Hiking and Mountain Trips in Leisure and Extracurricular Activities of Students – Part 2/ Interpretation of the Utility and Effects-financial Accessibility Components

Background and Study Purpose: Physical activities in the mountain environment are recognised for their multiple benefits on health, fitness levels, stress reduction and communication. The research aims to identify differences in the usefulness, effects, and affordability of trips and hiking for pre-university students. Material and Methods: The sociometric research investigated a group of 647 students. A 3-component structured questionnaire based on closed-ended items with five levels investigated students' responses to the usefulness and financial effects/financial accessibility of trips and hiking. Results: We obtained the gender difference for all utility factor items, with higher scores attributed to females. Gender differences were also significant in favour of females for the effects/accessibility factor, except affordability (P>0.05). The F-values for the rural-urban difference are all significant and in favour of rural students for both components, except affordability, which is higher for urban. Conclusions: At the level of the utility component, the highest scores are obtained by the items associated with the level of health, socialization group integration, and personality formation. For the effects component, high scores are obtained for items associated with stress reduction/recreation, then optimising endurance and fitness levels. Financial accessibility of trips and hiking scores lower, with only 50% of students perceiving them as affordable and very affordable. Rural students have higher values of confidence in the usefulness of hiking vs. urban students, and this is maintained for the effects component items, the only exception being for financial accessibility, where urban has significantly better values than rural.

The Role Of Islamic Religious Education In Shaping Students' Character

One of the most basic pillars of character education is Islamic religious education. One of the tools used in schools to help with character education is PAI material, which grows from the foundation of fostering religious spirit in children. Islamic religious instructors must help previously disadvantaged students change their ways. Therefore, Islamic religious teachers help shape students' personalities through Islamic law and Indonesian norms, in addition to providing religious knowledge. This research consists of studies whose research objects are researched using various library resources, or studies with a technical relationship with the library data collection process. According to the findings of the study, the main goal of pie learning is to help children develop a personality that will manifest itself in their daily behavior and mentality. In addition, Islamic religious instructors have a great impact on students' achievement and personality development because they support or act as role models for the use of personality formation in the classroom.

Onomastic component of the normative-scientific macrotext “Russian language” in a dynamic aspect

INTRODUCTION. The problem of the formation of the Russian linguistic personality, in particular its onomastic component, is the subject of numerous scientific studies, covering its various aspects, including within a certain period of time. However, the previously mentioned problem has not been considered in dynamics. The purpose of the study is to characterize the onomastic space of the macrotext “Russian Language” in a dynamic aspect in the period from the 19th to the beginning of the 21st century.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The research material was onyms identified in normative scientific texts of the 19th – early 21st centuries and supplemented with appellatives, which are written with a capital letter. The following methods were used: statistical, classification, comparative, et al.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. The concept of the normativescientific macrotext “Russian language” is formulated, its structure and onomastic content are determined. In the normative-scientific texts of each period, the most frequent onyms are identified, forming the common core (invariant) of the onomastic space.CONCLUSION. The study confirmed the thesis that the central place in the onomastic space belongs to anthroponyms, which in large part are among the precedent names that are of great importance in the formation of the Russian linguistic personality. This conclusion convincingly emphasizes the special role of the academic subject “Russian language” in this process. The prospects of the work are associated with the expansion of the study of systemic relations within the onomastic space, identifying the content and structure of the associative-cultural background of its key units, establishing the specifics of the functioning of proper names in the texts of textbooks on the Russian language in comparison with normative-scientific texts on other subjects, et al.

The impact of nasimi's ethical-didactic and philosophical views on personality development

The article examines and determines the influence of the poet's ethical, didactic and philosophical views on the formation of personality and their role in shaping the worldview of schoolchildren. The research established that the poet, who spoke against oppression, submission and falsehood, teaches the younger generation – students to defend their honor and dignity on the path of their beliefs. Teaching Nasimi's poetry in schools of general education plays a significant role in shaping the personality of today's youth. In this article, I analyzed Nasimi's works from a scientific and pedagogical perspective and concluded that the poet's moral-didactic views, which foster various positive moral qualities in individuals, have played an important role in the spiritual upbringing of many generations and continue to do so today. Nearly all of his works stand out not only for the poet's moral and ethical qualities but also for their scientific intellect, deep thought and remarkable courage, relying on folk sayings, folklore examples and the ideas of previous great thinkers. Overall, in the teaching of literature, alongside introducing national examples, it is also necessary to familiarize pupils with works that celebrate universal values when appropriate. This is highly important for personality development and moral enrichment. The principle of moral purity in Nasimi's poetry is the foundation of his ethical and didactic views. A significant part of his work consists of the laws of wisdom, justice, peace, truth, and values. Nasimi, who provides a sound explanation of religious ethics, highlights the problems that arise from human desires and ignorance. According to the poet, all problems stem from ignorance and a person must continuously learn and guide their lifestyle correctly. In this regard, along with teaching I. Nasimi’s legacy in secondary schools, the promotion of his works is also very important. The process of explaining and teaching the arabic and persian words, religious-political issues and historical expressions of that era used in his ghazals, as well as providing commentary and explanations, finds its place in the promotion efforts. This helps create an understanding of the art of words for children who show an interest in creativity. We know that the concept of personality is one of the most important categories in modern psychology. A person is both a biological and a social being, constantly acting as a synthesis of the various characteristics of the broader social system. The structure of personality affects a person's relationships with others and their adaptation to the social environment. Through their speech, a personality draws the attention and interest of those around them and can embody special qualities based on their external appearance. Nasimi, a great artist who continued and developed the humanist ideas of Middle Eastern literature, expressed his strong belief in humanity, human dignity and human potential, portraying humans as the creators of life and the true source of life’s beauty in his poetry. I. Nasimi's rich body of work, which expresses profound humanism, presents the complete ideal personality. In his poems, the poet repeatedly emphasizes that there is only one path leading a person to spiritual perfection and that path is the path of truth and justice. His boundless love for humanity reflects his desire to see every person as an individual and he believes that the main factor in becoming a perfect and faultless personality is self-awareness and self-evaluation. The social-psychological traits considered essential for personality, such as purity, conviction, and belief, influence human behavior and constitute a person's superior qualities. In general, in the teachings of Hurufism, self-awareness holds a significant place in the system of self-improvement. Through self-awareness, a person is internally purified, becomes active, refines further, and attains wisdom. In this regard, the teaching of the poet’s works in secondary schools plays an important role in shaping the younger generation as individuals. In this article, I examined and determined the impact of the poet's philosophical, ethical-didactic, and philosophical views on personality development and their role in shaping the worldview of secondary school pupils

Reflexivity and the ability to predict activities as the basis for future professional personality formation

In the context of dynamic transformations in all spheres of activity, the particular importance of professional’s abilities for reflexive and prognostic activity in adapting to new challenges is obvious. Future professionals need the ability to solve non-standard tasks, cope with emerging problems, control their own actions, readiness for objective assessment of work results, self-education and professional development. The aim of the research is to define the essence and content of the reflective and prognostic abilities of an individual, their significance in professional activity, as well as to identify the level of development of these qualities among university students in psychological-pedagogical and technical fields of study, and to outline the conditions for their productive development. The authors carried out a theoretical analysis of the definitions of «reflexivity» and «forecasting», reflected in numerous psychological and pedagogical studies of interdisciplinary focus by scientists from different countries. The relationship between reflexive and prognostic abilities with self-regulation of behavior and activity of an individual, their adaptation and professionalization were revealed. Diagnostics were conducted to determine the level of reflexivity (suggested by A.V. Karpov, V.V. Ponomareva) and the prediction ability (suggested by L.A. Regush) among first-year students of the psychological and pedagogical fields of study at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and the technical field at Samara State Technical University. The results of psychodiagnostics of reflexive and predictive abilities of students are presented and indicate an insufficient level of predisposition to retrospective, situational, prospective reflection and forecasting. However, the implementation of an integrated approach in classroom and extracurricular training, the use of intensive pedagogical technologies (practice-oriented, heuristic, informational) in the educational process, the problem solving techniques and test material developed on the basis of the matrix model of cognitive activity during intermediate monitoring showed positive dynamics in the increase of the level of development of reflexive and predictive student abilities.

Features of the formation of the on-screen communicative personality of a higher school teacher

Importance. The development of audiovisual communication channels in the field of higher education pedagogy makes the issue of forming an effective on-screen image of a teacher and scientist relevant. Building a communicative personality according to screen canons becomes especially significant in the field of distance teaching activities. This study aims to identify the most significant parameters of a teacher’s on-screen communicative personality.Materials and Methods. Based on the analysis of the “Open Education” project of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, the constant components of a communicative personality transmitted by higher education teachers and ensuring the effectiveness of communication with course students are specified. The research material is audiovisual content of 1540 project programs. The study’s chronological scope is 2023-2024. To achieve the research goals, comparative typological and textological methods, as well as the method of content analysis, are used.Results and Discussion. It is established that the on-screen communicative personality of a higher school teacher’s constant parameters include qualities that develop the status of an expert, namely: the use of dress code standards for a university teacher, exact correspondence of the content of the speech to the stated topic, dominance of the scientific style, pronounced pausing, rich intonation, moderate facial expressions and gestures. Variable attractive parameters include qualities that correlate with the characteristics of network communication: intimate communication, personification, personalisation, game implementation, and a philosophical sense of humour. The qualities that distinguish the communicative personality of a higher school teacher on the screen from the same personality in the audience include a reduction in the frequency of manifestations of the mentoring tone and the absence of edifying elements.Conclusion. The study establishes that effective modelling of an on-screen communicative personality is based on both constant and variable parameters. The former allow the teacher to develop a sense of expertise and compliance with the status of a university teacher, while the latter individualise the learning process.

Social and pedagogical risks of the young people’s upbringing in conditions of spreading values and manifestos of mass culture

Importance. The new educational paradigm is aimed not only at improving educational practices, but also at promoting sociocultural practices that influence students’ life orientations. The relation ship between the social institution of education and leading modern trends and attitudes is obvious, which in turn initiated the presented research. The purpose of the research is to examine the risks of the values and manifestos of mass culture influence on the formation of modes of modern youth behavior and to determine the directions of social and pedagogical activities aimed at counteract ing the deviantogenic influence of agents of mass culture.Materials and Methods. The dialectical, historical-retrospective and axiological research meth ods, as well as the method of reconstructing social reality are used.Results and Discussion. It is revealed that a set of new formations of life orientations plays a sig nificant role in the formation of an individual’s behavior and determines its development, which confirms the significance of studying personal values and orientations in order to understand hu man behavior and personality development in general.Conclusion. The complex modern social situation creates uncertainty in matters of personality formation and determining the vector of development of the younger generation in the conditions of an educational organization. To overcome this circumstance, it is necessary to develop a com prehensive pedagogical understanding of the polysystemic organization of a person (adolescent), where the main guideline will be his movement towards himself, towards self-realization and self actualization.

The Rational Colonial and the Civilised Modern: An Indian Perspective on Western Epistemology and Personality Formation

This article critically compares the social formation and tenants of Indian and British knowledge systems through an analysis of British colonisation in India. Specifically, it draws on Gandhi’s understanding of the id, ego and super-ego relationship that is revealed in the colonial situation and its legacy. While Europe characterises Asian societies and individuals as id-like and therefore in need of meditation by the ego represented by European modernity, in actuality pre-colonial Indian civilisation is better represented by the super-ego that is driven to sacrifice for the collective security of the whole and Europe is better characterised as the id-driven by the desire for capital accumulation with the ultimate goal of self-satisfaction. Within this framework, I explore how each society was deeply formed by the respective id and super-ego orientations—from their knowledge systems to their understandings of the human being and sociopolitical arrangements. This analysis better helps to understand how the political economy of India was corrupted through British colonisation and why so-called European modernity could not fulfil its promise, creating instead new crises in its wake.

The Context of Achieving and Application of Education by Sociologist Rangalal Sen

Dr. Rangalal Sen (1933-2014) was known in the country and abroad as a professor. After completing his education from Dhaka University, he first joined the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) as a lecturer in 1964. In the next year, he moved to the Department of Sociology of Dhaka University in the same position. His career began in 1953 as a primary school teacher. Apart from teaching, he was actively associated with several socio-political organizations and learned societies, including: Dhaka University Teachers’ Association, Dhaka University Senate, Bangladesh College-University Teachers’ Association, Bangladesh Sociological Association, Expatriate Bangladesh Government, Bangladesh Itihas Parishad, Bangla Academy, Bangladesh Asiatic Society, Communist Party of Bangladesh, Bangabandhu Parishad, Sher-e-Bangla Smriti Parishad etc. Moreover, he became a syndicate member of many universities at many times on the nomination of the Chancellor. In June 2011 the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh awarded Rangalal Sen in the unique status of National Professor. This distinguished professor passed away on February 10, 2014. Even though Dr. Rangalal Sen passed away, some of his sociologically valuable works will survive him. By acquiring education, human qualities will be fully developed in a person, where there will be no violence and strife, mutual kindness will be displayed among people, the active presence of non-communal and democratic mind will be ensured, a rational social system with moral sense will be established – this was Rangalal Sen’s philosophy of education. Rangalal Sen was not only a Marxist sociologist or theorist but also a dedicated worker of socialism. According to his philosophy, the true meaning of life lies in making the human society more beautiful through honesty, justice, non-violence and altruism in personal life without limiting religious practice to worship and fasting. A good person but not good as a teacher, or a good teacher but not good as a person- these were completely unthinkable things for Rangalal Sen. His advice to everyone was to be a good person first. Enriched with real education, he has always kept one and the same ideal in his heart. Therefore, regardless of the party and opinion, only those who know him were and are always respectful to him. Rangalal Sen can be termed as a humanistic sociologist, egalitarian educationist and moralistic philanthropist considering the education achieved by him and its practical aspects. Rangalal Sen, who was blessed with good fortune, got close to such great persons in his life and cherished their ideals in such a way that his line of ideals never crossed., Dr. Sen’s personality formation can be well understood in the light of sociological judgement of education. This short article attempts to explore the institutionalization of Rangalal Sen and the catalysts behind it. For this purpose, Rangalal Sen’s educational life, career and application of education in it, influence of institutional and non-institutional education as a background for the formation of his ideal personality, reciprocity of ideals etc. are discussed.)

THE IMAGE OF THE WORLD OF A FUTURE TRANSLATOR ACCORDING TO A THEORY OF ELITE LINGUISTIC PERSONALITY

We showed, that our surveys of university teachers had given some special grounds for distinguishing as components of the Language Personality of the future translator a number of competencies: language competence (awareness of a language as a dynamic open system that is in constant development, language units of all levels, their expressive possibilities, aesthetic potential; mastery of language skills and abilities); speech competence (the ability to use linguistic means in a communicative manner, adequate for the purposes of communication, that is, the possession of speech skills and abilities); communicative competence (the ability to carry out productive communication in order to obtain and transmit information, the ability to convince the interlocutor, to induce him/her to certain actions, to obtain additional information about the interlocutor through the analysis of his communicative behavior, the ability to carry out positive self-presentation), multicultural competence (a complex of knowledge related to Ukrainian and World Culture, the formed ability to harmonize one’s own speech and life-creating activity with learned ethical, aesthetic and other values); translation competence, which we consider the main indicator of the formation of the Linguistic Personality of a future translator. We proved, that a notable feature of a Linguistic Personality was its constant intellectual development, enrichment of vocabulary, development of linguistic sense, linguistic creativity. According to the analysis of psychological research, the priority feature of the personality is the formation of consciousness and self-awareness. Language Consciousness and Language Self-awareness are signs of Linguistic Personality. The goal of studying the Ukrainian language in higher educational establishments should be the formation of a nationally conscious Language Personality of the future specialist, which mean not only the assimilation of knowledge, the formation of abilities and skills, but also the formation of a nationally conscious attitude towards the language, which is expressed in the desire and the ability of speakers to communicate in the Ukrainian language in various life situations, a responsible attitude to one’s own speech, constant, persistent activity on its improvement, defense of the priority of the Ukrainian language in the society. Correlation of the formation of the Linguistic Personality of future translators with the pedagogical goal of their professional development requires the substantiation of the intercultural conditioning of the formation of the Linguistic Personality of future translators.

Implementasi Manajemen Pendidikan Islam Berbasis Karakter: Strategi Pembangunan Karakter Siswa di Madrasah

The purpose of this study is to investigate the management of Islamic education based on the character based on the context of the development of Madrasas students. The main purpose of this study is to identify the management strategy that can be implemented in Madrasus in creating character characters, thanks to Islamian educational approaches. This study uses a method of reviewing the literature and analyzing various relevant reading sources, such as books, magazines, articles, and previous studies related to Islam education and character training management. Research results indicate that natural -based educational management can be implemented using three major pillars. First, integration into the learning process of the character learning program. Second, the role of Maras leaders in the supply of samples and politics management that supports the formation of personality. Third, when creating an environment that supports the development of student characters, it is to strengthen the sluggishness and cooperation between families and communities. Some of the challenges faced are the lack of trained human resources in character education and the lack of synergy between schools, parents and society. In conclusion, character-based management of Islamic madrasah education is very important to create a generation that is not only academically intelligent but also possesses noble character. For this reason, more comprehensive policies and closer cooperation between schools, parents and society are needed to implement personality education

Comparison of Higher Education in China and the U.S

Abstract: With stabilizing societies worldwide, the differences in higher education have been widely discussed. Yet, the fundamental causes remained to be studied. In this paper, influences of history and culture, admission process system, and design of curriculum in different regions have been comparatively analyzed. The paper concluded that China advocates an exam-driven system such as Gaokao as a highly effective tool for meritocracy but limits flexibility, while the U.S. adopts a decentralized and holistic approach and emphasizes diversity. These factors significantly impact students and even the whole society, including social mobility, values of collectivism and individualism, and so on. Ultimately, the paper reveals broader implications of higher education on Chinese and American students respectively, assessing from a few perspectives, including learning efficiency, formation of personality, individual future pathways, and even the nation itself. Yet, there are potential challenges in both higher education in China and the U.S., mental health issues, and a narrow view of the admission process are some examples taken into account for China, while fairness, over-flexibility, and class differentiation occurred in America.

TEMPERAMENT: HISTORICAL AND MODERN CONCEPTS IN PSYCHOSOMATIC RELATIONSHIPS

This article presents historical and modern ideas about the role of temperament in psychosomatic relationships. The evolution and origins of the study of temperament and the origins of the formation of psychosomatic medicine are described in detail. The issues of the pathogenetic influence of mental factors on the somatic state of a person are revealed. This article emphasizes how the autonomic nervous system makes an important contribution to the development of disorders of psychosomatic relationships.

It is noted that temperament, like all properties of the body, is subject to age-related changes. In childhood, changes in temperament are due to maturation. Possession of certain properties of temperament does not directly determine how the child's personality will develop. However, the indirect influence of temperament on the formation of personality is undoubtedly.

A Child in the Art Space: A Study in the Perspective of Stanisław Wyspiański’s Work

The values of the relationship that takes place between a parent and a child can be analyzed on various levels: moral, biological, symbolic, social, legal or artistic. The aim of this study is an attempt to characterize the presence of a child as a subject in the European visual arts, with particular emphasis on the value of fatherhood in relation to the artistic work of one of the greatest Polish painters: Stanisław Wyspiański. Through the identification of values through semiological and iconographic axiology, it becomes possible to read an artistic work as a specific, philosophical record about the essence of understanding the analyzed value. In the case of Wyspiański, the artist’s child portraits will be analyzed, which can be treated as a kind of symbolic record not only of understanding but above all of experiencing the value of fatherhood. In the multidimensional process of raising a child, the father plays an extremely important role, influencing the formation and development of a young person’s personality. But it is not a one-way process, and the child also significantly shapes the parent as a father, friend and companion in everyday life.

Spiritual and moral education as the cornerstone of human personality formation

Introduction. Building an open cultural and civilisational space in our country requires the development of new directions and content of spiritual and moral education. It is important to consider the fact that spiritual and moral education is integrative by nature. It is directly related to all the key aspects of teaching and upbringing and the surrounding world as a whole, fulfilling a system-forming function in the process of comprehensive development of homo sapiens. Objective: to identify and characterize the directions of spiritual and moral education, present a working model for the formation of spiritualised morality fundamentals in children and young people. Materials and methods. The basis of the study were the provisions and conclusions of classical teachers K. D. Ushinsky, V. P. Vakhterov, P. F. Kapterev, V. Y. Stoyunin and others who took the first steps to comprehend the process of spiritual and moral education. Modern authors who study the problems of spirituality and morality made a significant contribution to the study through their numerous publications. The methodology was based on the principles of subjectivity, openness and nature-appropriateness, integrity and systematicity, continuity, differentiation and individualisation. The general scientific methods involved conversations, exercises, debates, the method of example and the organisation of activities. Results. The study expands and concretizes the existing knowledge about spiritual and moral education. It substantiates the conclusion that spiritual and moral education of the younger generation is not a narrow psychological and pedagogical problem, but a social problem, the problem of the future of Russia. The proposed working model is an important step in building a renewed system of spiritual and moral education of children and youth. Discussion. Many scientists studying the problem of the Human’s world focus their attention only on his/her moral side, believing that morality encompasses his/her spiritual core. Meanwhile, more and more contemporary researchers believe that spirituality is a broader concept and is determinant in the connection ‘spirituality – morality’. Spirituality is the highest substructure of human personality, while morality reflects only the norms of society and characterizes the deeds, actions and behaviour of a person. Conclusion. Spiritualised morality is the pivot that each individual needs to form in order to be able to arrange his/her life activity in a regular way, to constantly improve himself or herself, along with building a harmoniously developed society.

Bulgarian choral music as a means of intercultural communication and the formation of musical and aesthetic attitudes

Music can be used as a means of intercultural communication, since the art of music is a manifestation of the ideas of a society, an expression of its experience and unites the cultures of other peoples, requiring knowledge of those characteristic cultural elements that can be used by the ability to be part of the musical interpretive and creative process. It is important to teach schoolchildren and students respect for other cultures in a multinational environment, which affects the aesthetic values of students. The article highlights the issues of the formation of musical and aesthetic relations through Bulgarian choral music. Today, at the school level, there is a process of introducing the ethnocultural component, which is crucial for the assimilation, preservation and development of the Bulgarian heritage and strengthening interethnic communication. The ethnocultural heritage of the people consists of the following structural components: material culture, symbols and holidays, traditions and customs, theatre, art, rituals, ceremonies, language and folklore, including musical culture and choreography. Ethnocultural education as an integral educational process of transferring traditions, social norms, and cultural values of the people to the youth is an integral part of the process of personality formation, affecting its social, moral, mental and physical development. Conclusions are drawn about its increasing role in the regulation of intercultural relations in the Republic of Moldova.
