Theoretical substantiation of preparation of future teachers for the implementation of innovative practices of educational activity in higher educational activities

The article describes the results of a scientific study of the problem of theoretical substantiation of the problem of developing innovative practices of educational activities in universities. Monitoring the effectiveness of educational practices in universities is becoming an increasingly urgent problem. Currently, there is a need to create a bank of the best practices of educational activities. The following theories of activity, psychological theories of personality, the principle of co-existence in education, the phenomenon of readiness for activity, the theory of soft skills or flexible (or soft) skills, the theory of social relays are chosen, analyzed and substantiated as the theoretical basis of the study. As a result of the analysis of the theory of activity, we came to the conclusion that educational practices should have a purposeful and meaningful character, and the preparation of teachers for educational activities should be carried out within the framework of practice-oriented activities and modeling of educational situations. The personality structure of S.L. Rubinstein serves as a support (prototype) for determining the component composition of teachers' readiness for educational activities. Based on stable and dynamic personality characteristics identified by scientists, stable and flexible personality qualities can be identified that form the readiness of teachers for educational activities. Having analyzed the phenomenon of readiness for activity, we came to the conclusion that readiness for the implementation of educational practices presupposes activity and predisposition to it, the need for its implementation, the ability to activate the mental functions necessary for its implementation; assuming that there is a stable motivation for its implementation, as well as preadaptive abilities, the ability to project future events in educational activities. Flexible skills are a necessary element of a teacher's professional competence, ensuring the effectiveness of the implementation of educational practices. The analysis of the works devoted to the theory of social relays allowed us to conclude that they can be used as one of the effective methods of forming the value attitude of teachers to educational activities, through social relays, accumulated life experience, patterns of behavior, ideals necessary for teachers to effectively implement the practices of educational activities can be transferred. The considered psychological and pedagogical theories, concepts, works of various authors, act as a theoretical basis for the development and adaptation of educational practices at the university, are the basis for the development of a training system and a model of readiness of teachers for educational activities at the university.

Value Fulfillment from a Cybernetic Perspective: A New Psychological Theory of Well-Being

Value Fulfillment Theory (VFT) is a philosophical theory of well-being. Cybernetic Big Five Theory (CB5T) is a psychological theory of personality. Both start with a conception of the person as a goal-seeking (or value-pursuing) organism, and both take goals and the psychological integration of goals to be key to well-being. By joining VFT and CB5T, we produce a cybernetic value fulfillment theory in which we argue that well-being is best conceived as the fulfillment of psychologically integrated values. Well-being is the effective pursuit of a set of nonconflicting values that are emotionally, motivationally, and cognitively suitable to the person. The primary difference in our theory from other psychological theories of well-being is that it does not provide a list of intrinsic goods, instead emphasizing that each person may have their own list of intrinsic goods. We discuss the implications of our theory for measuring, researching, and improving well-being.

Psychological theory of personality H.O. Ball

The article deals with theoretical views of Prof. H.O. Ball on the personality that he formed in collaboration with prominent psychologists of the then USSR, Ukraine, Russia, the USA and other countries. Ratiohumanistic psychology is being developed and embodied into the life of H.O. Ball in scientific creativity with numerous colleagues, successors and students. The author of this article considers himself to the number of the last who felt the humanistic influence of Heorhiy Oleksiyovych as a scientific consultant and also summed up the achievements of several decades of creative communication with the prominent Ukrainian Scientist and Intelligent. It is noted that world-view and methodological basis of understanding by H.O. Ball personality was the principle of rationalism, which is an important prerequisite for successful development and positive influence on the social practice of psychological science.

Rorschach Nomological Network and Resting-State Large Scale Brain Networks

Abstract. Despite advances in neuroscience, the field of personality assessment has not yet taken full advantage of the progress in neuroimaging techniques. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is one of the most widely used neuroimaging techniques and allows the detection of brain processes and their anatomically detailed correspondences. In the last fifteen years, few studies have developed research designs using the Rorschach test in fMRI settings, analyzing the relationship between Rorschach variables and brain neural circuits. Although their findings were promising, some methodological issues related to fMRI research design have been outlined. Recently, personality neuroscience is emerging as a new field of research that attempts to deepen and refine neurobiological and psychological theories of personality using fMRI in resting state conditions. Recent studies report that resting state networks show a direct relationship with psychological traits. The aim of the present article is to propose a new research design that employs resting-state functional connectivity analyses to explore the brain’s functional architecture in relation to psychological constructs of Rorschach variables related to perceptual styles and personality traits.

Personalityzation: UI Personalization, Theoretical Grounding in HCI and Design Research

Personalization is an effective means for accommodating differences between individuals. Therefore, the personalization of a system’s user interface (UI) features can enhance usability. To date, UI personalization approaches have been largely divorced from psychological theories of personality, and the user profiles constructed by extant personalization techniques do not map directly onto the fundamental personality traits examined in the psychology literature. In line with recent calls to ground the design of information systems in behavioral theory, we maintain that personalization that is informed by psychology literature is advantageous. More specifically, we advocate an approach termed “personalityzation”, where UI features are adapted to an explicit model of a user’s personality. We demonstrate the proposed personalityzation approach through a proof-of-concept in the context of social recommender systems. We identify two key contributions to information systems research. First, extending prior works on adaptive interfaces, we introduce a UI personalization framework that is grounded in psychology theory of personality. Second, we reflect on how our proposed personalityzation framework could inform the discourse in design research regarding the theoretical grounding of system’s design.

Personality, Mental Health and Glossolalia

AbstractThis article reports on a survey of young men and women training for Pentecostal ministry. The survey was designed to test the relationship between glossolalia, or speaking in tongues, and personality. Personality theory, briefly outlined below, is complex and divided into several schools. For this reason it is necessary to show how findings derived from one school may be interpreted differently by another. Nevertheless, the general outline of previous work is clear. Most critically important for young men and women preparing for Pentecostal ministry is the fact that some research has questioned the mental health of those who speak in tongues. This article is able to show that, on the contrary, those who speak in tongues in the current sample under study are less neurotic than the general population. In order to demonstrate the validity of this thesis, this article will first outline the optional psychological theories of personality with their explanations of mental health and mental illness, then delineate the findings of various psychological studies of glossolalia, and finally present the results of our study of Pentecostal ministry candidates from a data analysis of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire.
