Project activities in the ESP course in the context of students’ socio-professional self-determination at a non-linguistic university

The cardinal change of the technological and socio-economic paradigm all around the world makes investigations related to the problems of professional self-determination of the younger generation extremely topical. In the conditions of economic and cultural globalisation, an important component of the professional competence of university graduates is the ability to realise their professional skills and present developed projects in the English-language media space. The article reveals methodological possibilities of the project activity in the ESP course as a pedagogic support for the socio-professional self-determination of students in a non-linguistic university. It determines principles and methods of using specialised Internet resources for developing educational projects in English that contribute to students’ professional self-determination and their social adaptation in the international professional community. The authors suggest a typological classification of practice-oriented projects that can be implemented in the ESP course – informational (abstract-review), analytical (historical, socio-cultural, cross-cultural and other research projects) and creative (creation of an original content – design, models, technological solutions, etc.). It is concluded that the project activity in the ESP course, the results of which can be included in the professional portfolio, is a significant element of socio-professional self-determination of students of a non-linguistic university.

The Music Practice Motivation Scale: An exploration of secondary instrumental music students’ motivation to practice

This study sought to explore high school band students’ motivation for practicing their instruments using the basic tenets of self-determination theory as a theoretical lens. Exploring levels of self-determination alongside years of musical experience, time reported practicing, grade level, gender, instrument selection, and private lesson study, this study sought to utilize the Music Practice Motivation Scale (MPMS) with a high school instrumental music population. Using multivariate analyses of variance, participants reported higher levels of intrinsic motivational beliefs toward practicing over external motivations. Extrinsically motivated students, however, were more likely to rate stronger agreement with an introjected regulation style indicating the importance of others’ views of practice on their own belief system. Despite potential issues with the fulfillment of the psychological need for autonomy, data suggest a weak correlation between private lesson study and the bolstering of intrinsic motivation. Reliability analysis demonstrated strong support for the inclusion of the MPMS in high school-level classrooms when seeking to determine and guide student self-determination to practice. Strong connections were found to support the fulfillment of psychological needs in the instrumental music classroom through targeted activities that focus on the development of intrinsic motivational beliefs focused on feelings of achievement, knowledge, and affect.

Statement of the problem. In the conditions of modern education in the Russian Federation, one of the most important tasks facing educational organizations is the creation of optimal conditions for professional self-determination of an individual. The FSES SGE emphasizes the importance of the personal results that form its basis. At the same time, one of the conditions for the formation of professional self-determination is the environment of professional self-determination. The purpose of the article is to determine the content of the work on the formation of the environment for professional self-determination of high school students studying in the industry-specific “EMERCOM-resource” class in the school complex. Materials and methods. In the course of the research, the analysis of scientific literature and pedagogical experience was carried out to determine the content of work on the formation of the environment for professional self-determination of high school students studying in the industry-specific “EMERCOM-resource” class in the school complex. The experimental base of the study was the MAEI “Secondary School No. 148 named after Hero of the Soviet Union I.A. Borisevich” in Krasnoyarsk. Research results. The formation of the environment for professional self-determination is closely related to the implementation of an individual educational route, which includes an individual curriculum of a high school student, an individual project, an individual plan of extracurricular activities, additional education, and vocational training. The key tool of the professional self-determination environment is the digital educational and methodological complex “School skills. Pro-professions”. Conclusion. The school complex uses technological solutions for the formation of the environment of professional self-determination based on the personification of the content of education, the introduction of modern educational technologies, the integration of basic and additional education in terms of achieving the planned educational results, accompanying individual educational routes of high school students with subsequent consolidation of their implementation in the basic educational programme.

The research methodology (materials and methods) includes systematic approach and scientific, pedagogical, and psychological approaches, cartographic, empirical, and statistical methods. Research results. The results of the study indicate the following: the implementation of a new educational program is associated with the development of students’ interest in agricultural professions, through their involvement in solving agroecological problems of sustainable development of the Russian Federation and the Krasnoyarsk Territory. When implementing an educational program in the field of agriculture, students are maximally immersed in theory and practice (a modular form of organizing an educational process), with inclusion in various roles: analyst, researcher, expert, manager, developer, and PR. This allows students not only to understand their role in the future production process, but also to develop systemic and environmental thinking, the basics of major competencies, the ability to set a goal and achieve it, plan, organize, and perform appropriate work, take responsibility for decision-making, bring the work started to the end. Conclusions. The article deals with the issues of professional self-determination and choice of profession by high school students of the basic school. Methodological and organizational measures have been carried out to develop and implement an educational program in the field of agriculture on the basis of an additional education institution. The outcome of the implementation of the educational program in the field of agriculture are metasubject and personal results of students.

Perceptions of Importance and Reported Frequency of Instruction of Self-Determination by Teaching Assistants in New South Wales Schools

AbstractSelf-determination skills, including competencies such as decision-making, are regarded by parents and teachers as important for students with special needs. Although not necessarily regarded as appropriate, teaching assistants often take substantial responsibility for delivering educational programs to students and little is known about their perspectives on self-determination. Perspectives of teaching assistants may impact on their support of programs to enhance self-determination that are developed by teachers. Teaching assistants in New South Wales mainstream schools (N= 320) were surveyed regarding their views on the importance and frequency of instruction of seven competencies related to self-determination of students with special needs. Consistent with previous research, assistants rated all the competencies highly in terms of importance, but frequency of implementation was more variable. Moderate correlations were found between ratings of importance and frequency of implementation, suggesting that greater instructional time was devoted to competencies viewed as more important. Limited differences were found between assistants working at primary and secondary levels. Although features of the interactions of teaching assistants that can inhibit self-determination have been often identified in previous research, it is argued that, paradoxically, assistants may be well positioned to facilitate the development of self-determination with appropriate training and supervision. Directions for future research are identified.

Elementary Students’ Performance and Perceptions of Robot Coding and Debugging: Embodied Approach in Practice

ABSTRACT Using robotics and programming, this study investigated the effects of different levels of embodied instruction on the problem-solving, debugging, programming proficiency, self-determination, and self-efficacy of students in ethnically diverse elementary classrooms. The first small-scale, quasi-experimental study involved 37 second-graders, who were randomly assigned to an embody or a non-embody group. Results showed that embodied planning activities benefited these young learners’ LEGO Robotics problem-solving and self-determination skills. Based on these findings, a second study implemented different types of embodied activities (full-embody, low-embody, and control condition) in a debugging problem-solving activity for 51 kindergarten and 1st-grade students, also from ethnically diverse populations. The findings from this study suggested that the embodied learning activities promoted students’ problem-solving skills in robotics and the use of debugging strategies in coding applications. However, different effects were found for groups by condition and the outcome variable. Based on these mixed results, the authors propose activities applicable in real-world elementary classrooms to introduce practical robotics and programming activities.

Future Time Orientation and Learning Engagement Through the Lens of Self-Determination Theory for Freshman: Evidence From Cross-Lagged Analysis.

View of future time orientation is a cognitive construct about future time. This view has its unique work of motivation and effect on academic performance. Previous studies have only explored the influence that future time orientation brings to the learning process at a single time, and most of them focus on cross-sectional studies. To further explore the cross-lagged relationship for freshmen between future time orientation and learning engagement during different periods, AMOS 23.0 was performed for cross-lagged analysis in this study to explore the influence and effect among variables of different periods. This research was based on the theory of self-determination to discover the relationship between future time and learning involvement for freshmen in enrollment and the first summer vacation. In this research, there were 1,000 valid samples in the first stage and 840 valid samples in the second stage for the conduction of descriptive statistics, pair t-test, and cross-lagged analysis. The results show that: (1) for learning engagement, freshmen at the end of the first year have a higher average score than at the beginning of the first year. (2) View of students of future time orientation can affect their learning engagement of the future through self-determination of students. At last, we provide some suggestions as references for institutional research and future research.

EFEKTIVITAS PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIKA SECARA DARING DITINJAU DARI SELF-DETERMINATION

Online mathematics learning is able to facilitate curriculum demands in the Covid-19 pandemic, but the impact on student motivation is always ignored. This study aims to examine the relationship between student self-determination in the teacher's perspective and teacher self-determination towards online learning, either partially or simultaneously. A descriptive-correlational survey design was used in this study, with five mathematics teachers in Junior High Schools in Bandung as subjects, which were taken by convenience sampling. Questionnaires and unstructured interviews were used in this study. The questionnaire used to collect self-determination data was adopted from The American Institutes for Research Self Determination Questionnaire, while the online learning quality questionnaire was adopted from Alarcón et al. (2020). The results showed that there was a positive relationship: between student self-determination in the teacher's perspective and teacher self-determination towards online learning either partially or simultaneously, between aspects of teacher capacity in self-determination on teacher's digital-pedagogical abilities and digital resources, between aspects of student capacity in the teacher's perspective on student empowerment and student digital competence, between student capacity and teacher capacity for the implementation of online learning. Furthermore, the perception of mathematics teachers towards online learning are key elements in the effectiveness of online mathematics learning.

The Department as a Subject of professional self-determination of pedagogical university students

Introduction, problem statement. In modern conditions of changes in the labor market and the system of vocational education, the process of professional self-determination of young people and the resources for its activation, intensification, and optimization are of particular relevance. The authors consider the subjects of the university system of promoting the professional self-determination of students, within which a significant place is determined by the Department of Social Pedagogy. The purpose is to analyze and substantiate the significance of the subject position of the Department of Social Pedagogy in the intra-university system of promoting students’ professional self-determination. Methodology and research methods. Theoretical and empirical methods were used: the analysis of scientific psychological and pedagogical literature and the analysis of the experience of the Department of Social Pedagogy of the TSPU, demonstrating the importance of the subject position of the elements of the intra-university system of promoting professional self-determination of students. Research results. On the basis of the analysis and generalization of the empirical experience of the Department of Social Pedagogy of the TSPU, the main directions in the context of promoting the professional self-determination of students are presented: lined up interaction with social partners – social organizations; organization of pedagogical intensives for TSPU students; support of industrial pedagogical practice of students of pedagogical areas of training; assistance in organizing employment (occupation) of students and graduates. Conclusion. It is determined that the subjective position of the Department of Social Pedagogy affects the “entry” of students of pedagogical areas of training in professional pedagogical activities, their con scious employment in teaching positions (even during their studies at the university) and is considered as one of the conditions for intra-university assistance to professional self-determination of students.

ПСИХОЛОГО-ПЕДАГОГІЧНІ ДЕТЕРМІНАНТИ ПРОФОРІЄНТАЦІЇ В КОНТЕКСТІ ЗАВДАНЬ НОВОЇ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ ШКОЛИ

The article examines the psychological and pedagogical aspects of vocational guidance and self-determination of high school students with the choice of future profession in the development of the New Ukrainian school. Mechanisms of professional self-determination and the capacity building of professional self-improvement of high school students in the context of transformational processes in the labour market in the digital economy are considered. It is established that one of the ways to increase the effectiveness of professional self-determination of student youth is the introduction into the educational process of methods of psychological and pedagogical design of career guidance measures aimed at forming the potential of professional self-improvement in high school students. The conceptual principles of professional orientation in the New Ukrainian school are revealed. The expected results of vocational guidance reform for all participants of the vocational guidance process in the New Ukrainian School are presented. The development of specialized training in high school is characterized as well as the need for lifelong learning, the importance of continuous personal and professional development. Ways to improve the career guidance process at the local level are highlighted. In the system of vocational guidance, it is very important to take into account the interests of the regional labour market. Career guidance in a community is an ecosystem that ensures its socio-economic development, and financial support for career guidance at the local level is an investment in human capital and sustainable community development. The advantages of organizing vocational guidance at the local level are a significant increase in opportunities for interaction with employers on vocational guidance of students, the creation and use of modern infrastructure. The functioning of educational and vocational hubs and career development centres based on educational institutions sounds promising, there students can try themselves in a particular profession, participate in projects for community and regional development.

The preparation for entry into adulthood - supported decision-making in upper secondary school for students with intellectual disability

ABSTRACT The upper secondary school for individuals with intellectual disability should prepare for an adult life as an active citizen with great self-determination and participation in democratic decision-making processes. The extent to which and in what way the schools work to prepare the students and develop their skills are likely of great importance for the students’ adult life. The purpose of the study was to increase the knowledge of how students with intellectual disability in Sweden are prepared for adulthood, with special focus on self-determination. Case studies on three schools were carried out through observations of decision-making processes and interviews with students and staff. The main findings consist of three different approaches to self-determination for students with intellectual disability: ‘Targeted and Conscious’, ‘Forward with Uncertainty’ and ‘Braking and Protecting’. Increased knowledge about, and analyses of, the processes that take place when young people with reduced decision-making capacity, due to intellectual disability, make decisions with the support of others are important. Implications underline the need to strengthen the awareness, knowledge and support of school staff when it comes to strengthening students’ decision-making capacity. The students with intellectual disability need to be equipped for a society where they as adults will be surrounded by choices and expectations of making decisions.

Pedagogical Support of Socio-Professional Self-Determination of Students

Recently, the prevailing trend is that graduates do not work in their profession; the purpose of the article is to study ways to improve the effectiveness of social and professional self-determination of students. The authors conducted an empirical study of the causes of this phenomenon and identified the main ones (the choice was made for the student by his parents; in the process of studying, the student became disillusioned with the chosen profession; the chosen profession does not bring the necessary earnings; did not find a job in the speciality). The article noted that the percentage of work in the profession depends on how long ago the specialist graduated from the university. The authors identified what causes could be eliminated in the process of teaching students. Having analyzed the existing pedagogical methods for students' more confident social and professional self-determination, the authors proposed the conceptual foundations of pedagogical support for students' social and professional self-determination. These recommendations will make it possible to correct students' social and professional self-determination in their speciality. The authors proposed an algorithm that allows to visually and transparently determine the student's attitude to the chosen speciality and ways to persuade the student to look for a job and work in the profession and the necessary tools for this. The proposed dual approach to adjusting the socio-professional self-determination of students will allow them to identify the problem at an early stage, track it and fix it with adjustment. Research has shown that there are several main reasons why a student does not work in a profession. All these reasons, in our opinion, are subject to correction in the learning process. The main feature of success is the desire of the university to identify such students at an early stage, a developed adjustment mechanism and constant control and monitoring. A further promising direction of research is the development of questionnaires that can identify this problem and a mechanism for attracting artificial intelligence that can guide each student individually and signal when the university's intervention is necessary.

A Transdisciplinary Approach to Promoting Self-Determination: Collaboration Between Special Education Teachers and Music Therapists

Self-determination consists of essential skills for students with disabilities because it gives individuals the power to make decisions based on their own needs and desires. Self-determination includes areas such as choice-making, goal setting, and self-directed learning. Music therapy is a service that can be used to enhance self-determination for students within the educational setting. Through intentional collaboration, music therapists and special educators can bring together their expertise to promote self-determination in students with disabilities. As members of students’ Individualized Educational Programs (IEPs), both professionals are working towards the common interest of fulfilling individuals’ goals and needs. The authors of this manuscript outline and describe a three-step process for collaboration between music therapists and special educators to promote self-determination among students while also providing a vignette to demonstrate this practice.

Формування культурної компетентності здобувачів середньої освіти у процесі фізичного виховання

The article raises the issue of cultural competence formation of secondary school students by the means of physical education in curricular and co-curricular activities that are an integral part of the over-all instructional school programme. The authors determine that in the context of reformation changes of Ukrainian education system the modern educational space of general secondary education institutions becomes a platform for cultural diversity and pluralism as well as for socialization and democratic national self-determination of secondary school students. It is noted that physical education exposes the secondary school students to a range of experiences that enable them to develop the skills and knowledge they need to make the most of all opportunities today and to shape new forms of global culture. The concept of «cultural competence» is regarded as the formation of skills to present the native culture in modern multicultural environment, the capacity and willingness to participate in the dialogue of cultures and the assimilation of the national and cultural component as a basic condition for familiarizing to the culture of their own country. The authors found that it is essential to approach the development of secondary school students’ cultural competence through the means of physical culture and sports as the keynote elements. It is obvious that physical education is able to increase the motivation of students for studying of Ukrainian culture and traditions that will enhance to the quality of their knowledge in this sphere and the level of their cultural competence.

ДИНАМИКА ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНОГО САМООПРЕДЕЛЕНИЯ СТУДЕНТОВ КОЛЛЕДЖА, РЕАЛИЗУЮЩЕГО ИНКЛЮЗИВНУЮ ПРАКТИКУ

The relevance of the article is due to the fact that in the modern world there is high competition among specialists in the labor market. In these conditions, proper professional self-determination of young people is important. Schoolchildren have not formed the skill of orientation among the specialties. They lack knowledge about the requirements for a particular profession, often they cannot competently assess their personal qualities and abilities, they are guided by the opinion of their parents or the prestige of their future profession. As a result, they go to study at those universities and technical schools that do not correspond to their orientation and interests. It is only during the course of training that students begin to understand that they do not have the necessary abilities that the profession they receive presents to them. However, both teachers and parents of these students insist on further education and obtaining a diploma, instead of helping them choose another specialty. An educational institution, as a rule, is not interested in students going to another educational institution, as this leads to a decrease in its financial security. Psychology, characterizing a mature personality, notes that one of the main criteria of maturity is professional competence in a particular field, not excluding changes in the trajectory of the choice of specialties throughout life. For this reason, researchers believe that professional activity is not a choice for the rest of life and may vary from the stages of personality formation. The research is devoted to the study of the dynamics of professional self-determination of college students implementing inclusive practice, as well as the study of differences in professional self-determination of conditionally healthy students and students with disabilities.

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE GLOBAL EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

The phenomenon of digitalization of education is interconnected with the features of the modern generation, which is rapidly integrating into the global educational space. Active involvement of personalized services in the lives of young people exacerbates the problem of finding new educational technologies, updating the content of education to meet individual educational needs, personal and professional self-determination in the context of their life and career growth. Digitalization of the educational environment expands the possibilities of communication, changes the social situation, transforms the motivational and value sphere, affects the personal and professional self-determination of students as a digital generation immersed in the digital environment and digital communications, the bearer of computer-generated values , mobile devices, Internet, social networks. The digitalization of education is a powerful trend in reforming and modernizing the global educational environment and involves the conversion of all types of information from various sources into digital language. Forecasts suggest the transition of the learning process to a digital environment as a turning point in the history of education. The article investigates the preconditions and current trends in the global digitalization of education. The necessity of using new digital pedagogical technologies is reasoned and the possibilities of access to various tools for expanding the field of blended learning are outlined. It is confirmed that the digitalization of the educational environment expands the boundaries of communication, changes the social situation, transforms the motivational and value sphere, affects the personal and professional self-determination of students. It was found that the introduction of the digital technologies in education is the dominant trend of reforming and modernizing the global educational environment and involves the conversion of all types of information into digital language.
