Психологическая сепарация от родителей в юношеском возрасте в контексте ценностных и смысловых ориентаций

<p style="text-align: justify;">Relevance. The problem of psychological separation in adolescence comes up against many contradictions, such as high demands of society to the young generation and difficulties on the way to comply with them (prolongation of the adolescent period, dependence on parents, personal immaturity, infantilism, instability of axiological orientations, etc.). Aim. The goal is to study the relationship between the level of separation anxiety, components of psychological separation from parents and axiological and life–purpose orientations in adolescence. Materials and methods. Adult Separation Anxiety Questionnaire ASA–27, adapted by A.A. Dityuk Hoffman’s questionnaire of psychological separation, D.A. Leontyev’s test of life–purpose orientations, E.B. Fantalova’s «Level of Value and Availability Ratio in Different Life Spheres». Sampling: 98 students of higher and secondary specialized educational institutions at the age of 17–21 years (52% boys and 48% girls). Results and conclusions. Components of psychological separation from parents in adolescence is uneven; psychological separation from parents has been partially completed. Separation from the mother is more pronounced than from the father. Separation anxiety is expressed to a moderate degree. The conflicting style of separation prevails. Attitudinal separation from parents has been achieved to a greater extent affective and behavioral separations are insufficiently formed; in boys and girls, pronounced separation anxiety is associated with unformed life–purpose orientations and motivational and personal integration in the «value–availability» plane in the areas of «happy family life», «materially secure life», «freedom»; incomplete separation from the mother and the presence of meaning in life for her children are interconnected; incomplete separation from the father is associated with the present life–meaning crisis in his children.</p>

Relevance: HIV infection remains an urgent, socially significant disease in modern society. In the modern world, absolutely everyone is at risk of contracting HIV infection to one degree or another. Despite active preventive work, new cases of infection are registered every year, which makes the problem of HIV infection strategically important. Objective: To determine the level of awareness of the population of the Republic of North Ossetia–Alania on HIV infection in different age groups. Materials and methods: The questionnaires of 600 respondents were analyzed. Respondents are represented in four age groups from 15 to 35 years in equal numbers – 25%. The questionnaire included the most relevant questions about the ways of HIV transmission. Empirical data were processed and analyzed using the capabilities of the IBM SPSS Statistics 27.0.1 software and analytical complex. Results: Of the 137 new HIV cases recorded in 2022, men predominate - 59.1%, while women – 40.9%. Among the established transmission routes, the highest proportion falls on the sexual (heterosexual) pathway of infection – 51.8%, the homosexual pathway – 5.1%. The proportion of people infected with parenteral administration of narcotic drugs was 41.6%, perinatal contact was 1.4%. There is a continuing trend of HIV infection among residents of working and reproductive age from 20 to 49 years old, which makes the issue of preserving the health of this group strategically important. The 18-22 age group of people studying in higher and secondary educational institutions has the most positive idea of the ways of HIV transmission and the risk of infection, which indicates the importance of awareness-raising activities. In the adolescent group of 15-17 years, there is a misconception about the ways of HIV transmission. The misconception about the possibility of contracting HIV infection in everyday conditions persists in 20.7% of respondents in the 30-35 age group and 13.3% in the 15-17 age group. The majority of respondents in each age group gave a negative answer: 15-17 years old – 44%; 18-22 years old – 44.7%; 23-29 years old – 41.3% and in the 30-35 years old group – 44%, which indicates a misunderstanding of the vertical path of transmission from an HIV-infected mother to a child, more than 40% of negative responses from respondents in each the age group. Conclusion: The level of awareness of the population of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania on HIV infection is quite high. At the same time, the adolescent age group, which is the most vulnerable in matters of risky behavior, is the least informed about the ways of HIV transmission and requires special attention. The results of the study will make it possible to contribute to the development and implementation of HIV prevention measures/AIDS and related diseases in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania.

ЕЛЕКТРОННИЙ ЖУРНАЛ  ЯК ІНСТРУМЕНТ ЦИФРОВОЇ ОСВІТНЬОЇ КОМУНІКАЦІЇ: РЕЗУЛЬТАТИ ВСЕУКРАЇНСЬКОГО ОПИТУВАННЯ

The article provides a definition of digital educational communication and considers the issue of using an electronic class register in general secondary education institutions as a digital tool necessary for organizing the educational process in modern conditions. The main advantages and features of the implementation of an electronic class register during distance learning are highlighted. The results of an all-Ukrainian survey of pedagogical workers regarding the use of electronic class register were analyzed and given, during which attention was paid to such aspects as: convenience, correspondence of electronic class register to the paper version, efficiency of using the digital tool, available sections and functionality. On a positive note, the majority of respondents are adopting electronic class registers and consider them to be a necessary tool nowadays, with about half of respondents indicating that they help teachers use their working time effectively. On the other hand, the study shows that the use of electronic class registers has a downside, such as duplicating information on paper, which is required by the administration of the educational institutions, and that is a waste of time. It was found that almost all electronic class registers need some improvement. It was established that they lack some sections, a mobile application or its limited functions or an inconvenient interface, the lack of an opportunity to generate a new sample report card (NUSH), as well as existing problems with the division of the class into subgroups, the correct calculation of the thematic evaluation, transfer of evaluations when a student is transferred to another class or a subgroup, etc. Attention is focused on the need for developers to take into account the comments of practicing teachers in order to improve the quality of a modern digital tool. In general, the results of the study indicate the expediency of involving pedagogical workers in the design of electronic class registers in the future and the need to make certain decisions regarding the improvement of the legal framework for the control of this digital tool and the proper preservation of personal data of students at the state level.

Research of the Problems of Professional Support for Teachers in the Implementation of Inclusive Education

Professional support for teachers plays a crucial role in the implementation of inclusive education. In the study, the concept of “professional support for teachers” refers to the existence of close social ties between the administration (school principal and his deputies), colleagues, parents of children with SEN, and teachers of postgraduate pedagogical education institutions, who are the main resource for professional support. The aim of the study was to identify current problems of professional support for teachers of inclusive education in a general secondary education institution. It is established that the administration of the institution is mainly interested in the formation of additional competencies of teachers. The problems in which teachers need professional support are identified, in particular: increasing incentives to work with children with SEN; involving special educators in the provision of correctional and developmental services; providing funding for institutions to create an inclusive educational environment; conducting educational work with parents to form adequate expectations of their children; providing teachers with practical advice on minimizing unwanted behavior and modifying educational material for children with intellectual difficulties and autism spectrum disorders. It was found that the activity and motivation of parents of children with SEN to cooperate plays an exceptional role in providing support to teachers.

Examining Teachers' Professional Relationships, Friendship, and Trust Networks via Social Network Analysis

In this study, Social Network Analysis method was used to determine the professional relationships, friendships and trust networks that teachers established with their colleagues. The study group of the research consists of 35 teachers working in a public secondary education institution in Aydın province. A three-question structured interview form developed by the researchers was used to determine teachers' social networks. Data analysis was carried out through the UCINET 6.0 program. When the findings regarding the positions of teachers in the professional relationship network, friendship network and trust network were examined, it was determined that the network structure with the highest number of connections was the friendship network (ties = 97), followed by the professional relationship (ties = 95) and the trust network (ties = 66). In all social networks, teachers with mathematics, guidance, literature and biology branches were found to be at the center of the network, acting as a bridge between other actors and providing information and resource flow. According to the findings, it was determined that the network with the highest density (dens. = 0.082), bilateral (dia. = 0.198) and triad (triad = 0.330) reciprocity rate was the friendship network. This study, which examines the professional relationships, friendships and trust networks that teachers establish with their colleagues, is thought to be important in revealing the relationships between teachers and analyzing the current situation.

METHODS OF EDUCATION OF STUDENTS' SPEECH CULTURE

The article presents ideas about teaching methods, ideas, recommendations on the methodology for the development of written and oral speech of students in the Kyrgyz literature lesson. In our proposed school, exams on methods of adapting students to speech and writing activities were conducted in experimental classes. Using the example of Kyrgyz literature lessons in grades 5-8, the principles and means of applying the methods are described. Currently, there is a need to actively use our state language, especially office work, but there is reason to believe that some representatives of our nation do not speak the Kyrgyz language well, are able to make sentences and write competently. One of the reasons for illiteracy in the field of speech culture and writing is that a child from an early age in the family, kindergarten, school, secondary and higher educational institutions receives little influence on the rich language of folk tales, songs, dastans, including the national epic “Manas".

Detecting outstanding students for projection in academic competitions

Upper secondary educational institutions have outstanding students in different areas of knowledge. Some of them show scientific skills, technological innovation, and others are considered high-performance athletes. They can enhance their abilities and face more demanding challenges by participating in academic and/or sporting events. The aim of this study was "to discuss the importance of the timely detection of outstanding students in upper secondary education academic units, as well as to analyse the factors that influence the achievement of their goals". The research was conducted at the Guasave Daytime High School of the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS), in the municipality of Guasave, Sinaloa, Mexico. It was designed as a case study, with an exploratory-explanatory analysis. A total of 455 surveys were administered to students. The academic unit has 3898 students, the data were captured in Google Forms to describe the attitudinal profile of high school students, ways of learning, strengths, and weaknesses to develop scientific skills. Interest in participating in important academic and sporting events was considered as activities to identify outstanding students.  The results show the importance of implementing strategies that allow teachers to detect outstanding students in a timely manner. The dissemination of extracurricular activities was considered because students have the potential to develop their scientific and sporting talents.  However, these activities have little dissemination among students. It is concluded that the Academic Units should have a greater dissemination of extracurricular activities and have a programme to detect outstanding students. It is important to train and guide teachers so that they can identify and channel outstanding students and be able to enhance their abilities.
