Success of Professional Activities of Representatives of Humanitarian Professions

The study reveals the relationship between the success of professional activity with the personal characteristics of representatives of humanitarian professions. The following diagnostic means were used to establish the relationship of personal characteristics with the successful development of professional skills of students studying humanities: Methodology “Personality traits” (J. Barrett), Diagnostics of the structure of signal systems (E. F. Zeer, A. M. Pavlova), Methodology express – diagnostics of the characteristics of the nervous system by psychomotor indicators Е. P. Iliin. Based on the analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature and the study, the authors conclude that professional success in the humanitarian professions is associated with personality traits: sociability, focus on facts, as well as mobility of the nervous system. The absence of these traits negatively affects the effectiveness of professional activity.

Project Studies as A Transborder Didactic Tool in Higher Education (The Case of The German-Russian Study Project)

Project studies can become the most important innovative component of education programs in modern society. They allow one to not only improve the professional skills of students, but also develop competencies in the fields of project management and team building. The greatest didactic value is possessed by interdisciplinary and international projects. In the framework of their implementation, a synergistic effect occurs from a combination of methods of different sciences, as well as communications between representatives of different national scientific and educational schools. The success of a project study depends on student motivation. Their participation in setting common goals and developing methods for their achievement is the basis of high motivation. Along with this, the work of teacher-curators, oriented to help in solving emerging problems of a substantial and methodological order, acquires a fundamental role. The lack of project studies is largely due to the high requirements for the teachers involved in it. The tasks of teachers during project training are fundamentally different from those that they perform using other educational methods. This is one of the most temporarily costly and time-consuming forms of training. The study deals with the structural, managerial and didactic features of project study in higher education using as an example scientific and educational projects on labour market studies, which, since 2017, have been jointly carried out by the Moscow State University (MSU) and the University of Applied Labour Studies (UALS), Mannheim.

Are Volunteer Public Health Initiatives Effective? Survey Results from The Dominican Republic

This paper provides an overview of the Global Leadership Adventures (GLA) Public Health Service Initiative that I have participated in, including a retrospective assessment of its effectiveness based on survey data. “Voluntourism”- a form of tourism in which travelers volunteer in developing countries - allows students to cultivate a deeper understanding of global health issues through their services. In turn, it aims to strengthen local communities’ public health security. However, opposing perspectives claim that these types of public health service initiatives have little to no impact on communities, due to the lack of empirical data and professional skills of students who partake in the projects. I have obtained quantitative survey data that were collected before and after interventions in the served communities. In this paper, I present my observations, communications with staff members, and the survey data analysis from 2008-2018 in La Grua and from 2016-2018 in Polanco, Dominican Republic. The survey results suggest a significant improvement in public health measures based on these two interventions

Пути преобразования личностных качеств в профессиональные качества у обучающихся образовательной организации системы МВД России

The article discusses the development of professional skills in students, as a condition for the training of a police officer. The research is revealed that the main contradiction of professional self-development of students of educational institutions of higher education of the system of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia lays between the requirements of the profession to the specialist’ personal qualities and the level of awareness to these requirements by cadets. The pedagogical conditions for the transformation of students’ personal qualities into professional qualities are considered in the article. The students features during the adaptation period are highlighted. The possibility of the professional self-development activation is revealed not only by direct, but also by indirect influence to the students, through the formation of a sociopsychological environment, where professional self-development will be approved. It describes the identification mechanism for the readiness of students to adopt professional qualities in the educational environment through the stages of professional self-development. The main way of transforming personal qualities into professional ones is revealed - this is the formation of professional self-consciousness on the basis of an adequate self-assessment of the knowledge gained about the profession. As a result of the study, the level of professional qualities of students increased. In the described study, the following methods were used: a questionnaire survey, the «Locuscontrol» technique by j. Rotter, a comparative analysis, a content analysis.

Teaching Methodologies for the Development of “Problem Solving” Competence Among Nursing Students

Higher education must take on the demands of the labour market. Therefore, university degrees must develop professional skills in students to enable their employability and professional achievements (Rodríguez, 2006; Tejada y Ruiz, 2013). Problem solving is a key skill, directly correlated to the concept of competence and problem solving in context (Tobón, 2012).This paper presents the results of research on teaching methods that develop the skills associated with critical thinking; problem solving is one of them. The study was conducted in the Nursing degree, with a sample of 95 2nd year students. The methodology of the study is of mixed type: a questionnaire and field journals, both given to students.Quantitative results show that the teaching strategy that generates the greatest development of problem solving in students is problem-based learning - PBL. The qualitative results, coming from the analysis of field journals kept by students during a semester, show the solution of problems as a process composed of identifying the problem, defining and presenting the problem, and exploring different strategies to achieve the goal.The research shows that working with simulated cases, with active and participatory methodologies in the classroom, makes students face complex situations; this generates integrative learning experiences that enable the development of the competence of problem solving.
