Lessons of the global COVID-19 pandemic in relation to the quality of education

The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on humanity, affecting not only physical health but also neurological, social, and ecological well-being. Neurological and psychological disorders can negatively impact learning quality and significantly worsen learning outcomes for higher education students. The aim of this study is to compare the prevalence and evaluate the symptoms of post-COVID-19 syndrome among senior students in two higher educational institutions, Poltava State Medical University and Poltava National Pedagogical University named after V.G. Korolenko. The impact of these symptoms on the quality of education will also be assessed through analysis of the author's questionnaire. Rehabilitation measures will be recommended to improve quality of educational process. It has been determined that there is a high level of damage to the nervous system among students from both universities, which is accompanied by a combination of symptoms including headache, memory impairment, insomnia, anxiety, unmotivated weakness, and excessive fatigue. The aforementioned complaints and the need to increase time for completing educational tasks after illness, along with memory impairment and sleep disturbances, suggest that the academic performance, psychological state, and psychosomatic background of students are at a low level. Therefore, recommendations for cognitive rehabilitation of this category of applicants are necessary, taking into account their significant educational load. The samples were made by senior year students. Physical activity levels among senior higher education students may exacerbate post-COVID-19 syndrome symptoms. Recommendations for the physical rehabilitation of this patient group are necessary. Applicants experiencing weakness, increased fatigue, reduced work capacity, sleep disturbances, and mood instability should review the organization of the educational process in distance learning conditions and make changes to their lifestyle. Keywords: students of higher education institutions, post-COVID-19 syndrome, long COVID-19, trucker syndrome.

Psychological-Pedagogical Interaction and Its Social Importance in the Formation of Teacher’s Empathy Towards the Student

Modern education in Russia, in practical pedagogical activity, becomes a relatively legal complex of ensuring national interests in the conditions of modern Russian statehood, determining the significant needs of not only the individual, but society. It is very characteristic that in this interpretation the need to obtain professional knowledge becomes a significant element not only in substantive activities, but also in the process of social contacts in society. In this context, the relationship between direct and collective communication is relevant, which allows, from the point of view of psychological processes, to organize interpersonal relationships at all levels of interaction. The purpose of our research is to develop the scientific foundations for studying the process of “teacher-student” interaction, when considering pedagogical perception in modern science, classifying it as the interaction of the general and the particular. Such communication between a student and a teacher on the basis of competent and correct perception becomes significant in the process of perception as a condition for success in the formation of a specialist, which in itself is relevant for improving the modern educational process. The research methodology is based on a theoretical analysis of the basic scientific principles related to the psychology of communication when studying the level of communication skills, emotionality and thinking of an individual. The information and empirical base was a psychological and pedagogical analysis of social interaction in the formation of the teacher’s empathy towards the student. The object of the study is mutual relations in the process of communication in modern education. The scientific novelty lies in the formation of the author's conceptual approach to the model of a quality educational process through interpersonal communication between the teacher and the student, taking into account the psychology of the individual.

Improving preschool provision and encouraging-demand: Evidence from a large-scale construction program

We study the impact of a preschool construction program and of two demand-side interventions in Cambodia. Within this context where other preschools are available, impacts are likely to differ between children who would have been enrolled in a preexisting preschool and those who would have stayed at home, with larger expected gains for the latter. After one year, we measure positive intent-to-treat impacts on an aggregate measure of development and show that the effect on children who would have stayed at home can be bounded (0.14-0.49 SD). Under heavier assumptions, we pinpoint this effect at 0.21 SD, while the effect on children who would have enrolled in another preschool is close to zero. These results are consistent with measures of preschool quality which imply that the newly constructed schools only significantly improved infrastructure, but did not improve the quality of educational processes. After two years, most impacts become insignificant suggesting that the advantage provided by preschool quickly vanished, specifically once children enrolled in primary school.

The novelty of the study lies in the substantiation of the urgency of introducing the concepts of “coaching” and “self-design” to concretize new approaches in the theoretical support of postgraduate training of dentists and maxillofacial surgeons. For the first time, the complementary nature of the relationship between them is substantiated. The author emphasizes that the adaptation of the corresponding pedagogical techniques allows us to more clearly highlight the role of the pedagogical component in the training of highly qualified specialists in these areas. The main conclusion of the study is that coaching and techniques of conscious self-design, being in a relationship of complementarity, determine a significant increase in the level of postgraduate education, meeting such conditions as a combination of pedagogical competence with the peculiarities of the structural and content components of scientific activity.

The frequency of mobile phone (MP) use and the way students use them in school vary depending on the level of education, i.e., the age of the student, but also on the school, i.e., how it regulates its use. Many teachers stimulate the use of MPs during class, but by directing these activities to the topic being taught, knowing that an MP is an integral part of school supplies for a "digital native", both outside and inside the school. The purpose of this research was to determine the extent to which students used mobile phones in class and what their attitude was to the use of MPs during school activities and its impact on school performance. The research was designed as a cross-sectional study. The respondents were students of the Secondary Medical School in Belgrade, Zvezdara and represented a suitable sample, taken in one day in both teaching shifts, using an anonymous questionnaire filled in on a voluntary basis. A total of 152 students were included in the study, of which 114 (75.0%) were female. Most students were in the third grade of secondary school (45.4%). Respondents who expressed a higher degree of agreement with the claim that they used MPs in every class were significantly older (p=0.001) and had a significantly lower average grade (p=0.020). The statement that MPs had a negative impact on their concentration was agreed with by 59 students (38.8%), while 43 (28.3%) agreed that MPs distracted them from the important moments in class. The belief that MPs could contribute to the improvement of the teaching process quality was held by 126 (82.9%) respondents. Students who believed that MPs could contribute to the improvement of the teaching process quality agreed more with the claim that MPs had a negative impact on their attention (p<0.001) and concentration (p<0.001). Research has shown that almost a third of the students used MPs during class, even during every class, which was correlated with older age and lower average grades of students in the previous school year, as well as with the claim that they used it to suppress boredom. Younger respondents were more likely to believe that their mobile phone affected their concentration and success.
