The article characterizes the peculiarities of teaching the educational discipline “General and special office management” in the context of professional training of future penitentiary specialists in higher education institutions. It is substantiated that the academic discipline “General and special office management” plays an important role in the professional training of future specialists of the State Criminal Executive Service of Ukraine, because it involves the formation of a system of theoretical knowledge, practical skills and skills to work with documents specific to each of the management functions, as well as for certain fields of activity, in particular, familiarization with the theoretical and practical issues of documentation and the rules of organization of record keeping in institutions of the criminal executive service. As a result of mastering this educational discipline, students (cadets) should develop skills and abilities related to compiling, proofreading, accounting (registration), sorting, storing, searching, processing information stored in documents, as well as copying, information transfer, document transportation inside and outside the management apparatus of an institution or organization. It has been proven that the effectiveness of mastering an educational discipline depends on the teacher’s selection of educational material, the planning and implementation of independent work by students of higher education, as well as their preparation for practical classes. The content of the lecture course is characterized, the relationships between lectures and practical classes are determined. The conditions for successful mastering by future penitentiary specialists of the educational course “General and special office management” are substantiated, in particular, the need for systematic, consistent work throughout the entire academic semester, the formation of analytical skills for working with literature, and thorough preparation for the semester exam are substantiated. It has been proven that the effectiveness of the performance of the criminal-executive service specialists in the future of their official duties, the pace of their career growth, and the intensity of professional and personal development depend in some places on the development of the skills of working with documentation. Key words: academic discipline, professional training, higher education students, lecture, independent work, future specialists, criminal-executive service.

THE IMAGE OF THE WORLD OF A FUTURE TRANSLATOR ACCORDING TO A THEORY OF ELITE LINGUISTIC PERSONALITY

We showed, that our surveys of university teachers had given some special grounds for distinguishing as components of the Language Personality of the future translator a number of competencies: language competence (awareness of a language as a dynamic open system that is in constant development, language units of all levels, their expressive possibilities, aesthetic potential; mastery of language skills and abilities); speech competence (the ability to use linguistic means in a communicative manner, adequate for the purposes of communication, that is, the possession of speech skills and abilities); communicative competence (the ability to carry out productive communication in order to obtain and transmit information, the ability to convince the interlocutor, to induce him/her to certain actions, to obtain additional information about the interlocutor through the analysis of his communicative behavior, the ability to carry out positive self-presentation), multicultural competence (a complex of knowledge related to Ukrainian and World Culture, the formed ability to harmonize one’s own speech and life-creating activity with learned ethical, aesthetic and other values); translation competence, which we consider the main indicator of the formation of the Linguistic Personality of a future translator. We proved, that a notable feature of a Linguistic Personality was its constant intellectual development, enrichment of vocabulary, development of linguistic sense, linguistic creativity. According to the analysis of psychological research, the priority feature of the personality is the formation of consciousness and self-awareness. Language Consciousness and Language Self-awareness are signs of Linguistic Personality. The goal of studying the Ukrainian language in higher educational establishments should be the formation of a nationally conscious Language Personality of the future specialist, which mean not only the assimilation of knowledge, the formation of abilities and skills, but also the formation of a nationally conscious attitude towards the language, which is expressed in the desire and the ability of speakers to communicate in the Ukrainian language in various life situations, a responsible attitude to one’s own speech, constant, persistent activity on its improvement, defense of the priority of the Ukrainian language in the society. Correlation of the formation of the Linguistic Personality of future translators with the pedagogical goal of their professional development requires the substantiation of the intercultural conditioning of the formation of the Linguistic Personality of future translators.

In-House Training Modules on Learning Media to Improve Information and Communication Technology Competence in Elementary School Teachers

In-house training (IHT) programs effectively address educational challenges in schools through a thorough needs analysis. While IHT programs are frequently conducted, the primary focus should be on enhancing the quality of training to meet the specific needs of institutions, roles, and individuals involved. At SDN 98, a notable issue is the low utilization of technology in the learning process despite adequate multimedia facilities. Among 17 classroom teachers, fewer than 25% are proficient in using computers for instruction, and only one or two teachers regularly use laptops. The use of LCD projectors is also rare. This situation highlights the urgent need to improve teachers' information and communication technology (ICT) skills. Consequently, this Study aims to enhance the ICT competencies of SDN 98 teachers through targeted training and the development of IHT modules. The research employs a research and development (R&D) method that includes eight stages: initial research, planning, product design, validation, revision, limited trials, and field trials. The developed IHT module received excellent evaluations, with an average score of 4.49 from respondents and 4.56 from instructors, indicating its practicality and effectiveness in enhancing teachers' ICT competencies.

Tertiary education as social policy: Comparative theoretical perspectives

Abstract In this paper, we conduct an in-depth review of and commentary on two frameworks for international comparative work focused on education systems and skill formation – specifically, welfare regime and production regime approaches. We focus on how tertiary education is understood to function relationally within a national policy repertoire and explore the interplay between education and economic systems. Whereas the welfare regime literature illuminates why some regimes are conducive to human capital production and create more equitable educational and labour market opportunities, the production regime literature focuses on the ways that actors such as government, educational institutions, and unions optimise skill formation. These two theoretical perspectives offer both rival and complementary explanations of varying patterns in public investment, differentiation in education systems, and participation rates in tertiary education across countries. Our analytical account provides useful insights for understanding different national education policies and framing future research, including informing these perspectives with the more recent theoretical contributions of the social investment approach. In relation to changing conceptions of the knowledge economy, education, skill development, and the nature of employment, these two theoretical perspectives continue to provide useful conceptual lenses to examine the education/skill /employment nexus.

The Impact and Innovation of Chatgpt on Traditional Teaching--Taking TESOL As an Example

With the increasing development of artificial intelligence and its application in education, traditional English educators need to understand how to use chat to support English teaching and learning. Therefore, a review and discussion of existing relevant research to support the academic community and practitioners in understanding how chatGPT supports tesol educators and students has become a topic for discussion. However, traditional research often only systematically studies the impact of artificial intelligence on tesol, without specifically subdividing it into chapters, or studying the relationship between chapters and education without specifically focusing on tesol. Based on this, based on the teaching characteristics of TESOL, this paper proposes that chatGPT needs to achieve innovation in the field of TESOL to meet the needs of multi-faceted professional development. In addition, in the face of the rapid development of chatGPT, traditional teachers should improve their information skills, and at the same time combine artificial intelligence technology to innovate teaching methods and improve teaching guidance.

The Potential of Artificial Intelligence Tools for Reducing Uncertainty in Medicine and Directions for Medical Education.

In the field of medicine, uncertainty is inherent. Physicians are asked to make decisions on a daily basis without complete certainty, whether it is in understanding the patient's problem, performing the physical examination, interpreting the findings of diagnostic tests, or proposing a management plan. The reasons for this uncertainty are widespread, including the lack of knowledge about the patient, individual physician limitations, and the limited predictive power of objective diagnostic tools. This uncertainty poses significant problems in providing competent patient care. Research efforts and teaching are attempts to reduce uncertainty that have now become inherent to medicine. Despite this, uncertainty is rampant. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools, which are being rapidly developed and integrated into practice, may change the way we navigate uncertainty. In their strongest forms, AI tools may have the ability to improve data collection on diseases, patient beliefs, values, and preferences, thereby allowing more time for physician-patient communication. By using methods not previously considered, these tools hold the potential to reduce the uncertainty in medicine, such as those arising due to the lack of clinical information and provider skill and bias. Despite this possibility, there has been considerable resistance to the implementation of AI tools in medical practice. In this viewpoint article, we discuss the impact of AI on medical uncertainty and discuss practical approaches to teaching the use of AI tools in medical schools and residency training programs, including AI ethics, real-world skills, and technological aptitude.

Features of developing toilet skills in young children: Information for clinicians and parents. A review

The upbringing and teaching of toilet skills to young children is an important stage in the physiological development of the child. Control over urination and defecation in infants develops gradually, starting with a completely reflexive process and moving on to conscious control. This process is of great importance in the formation of a healthy and independent personality, preparing the child for the next stages of growing up and acquiring new skills. The article presents historical aspects of the formation of toilet skills among different peoples and at different stages of society development. Interesting facts about potty training in different countries of the world, anatomical features of urination and defecation, signs of readiness for potty training and toilet training, the age recommended for potty training, and what a potty should be like are shown. Approaches to teaching this level of independence are important not only for the child’s physical health, but also for understanding his psychological readiness, social development, and adaptation in children’s groups.

Practical course in professionally oriented interpretation: Chinese language in preparing senior students of non-linguistic universities for professional activities

Introduction. Author's materials - texts and exercises for the new textbook "Chinese in the field of professionally oriented interpretation" are an innovative methodological means of organizing the educational process, allowing for an effective process of teaching transformational techniques of translation from Chinese into Russian and from Russian into Chinese. The purpose of the work is to develop effective methodological materials for teaching types of consecutive interpreting and written translation activities to students of non-linguistic universities based on authentic materials and test their effectiveness with a pedagogical experiment in the framework of preparing the textbook “Practical course of professionally oriented interpretation: Chinese language” for publication. Materials and methods. The experiment took place in two non-linguistic universities: on the basis of the scientific and educational center “East-West” at the department of “International Relations and Regional Studies” of the Novosibirsk State Technical University as part of translation courses. The study involved third- and fourth-year students with basic knowledge of the Chinese language (N=70). To test the effectiveness of using materials for publishing a practice-oriented textbook, participants in the experiment worked on new materials developed by the authors. Students in the control group studied by the traditional method. The objects of control were four types of translation activities: written translation of text from Chinese into Russian; written translation from Russian into Chinese, volume; consecutive interpreting of sentences from Chinese into Russian and oral consecutive interpretation of sentences from Russian into Chinese. Data analysis was performed using Student's t-test. Research results. It was revealed that the author's materials and the sequence of exercises developed for publication in the textbook have proven their effectiveness in the formation and development of skills in various types of translation. Translation of written text from Chinese into Russian (450 characters/hour) (t=2,33; p<0,01), translation of written text from Russian into Chinese (1000 characters/hour) (t=2,69; p<0,004), consecutive interpreting of sentences from Russian into Chinese (400 characters) (t=2,60 at p<0,006). At the same time, statistical analysis of the data did not confirm the improvement in indicators for the development of skills in consecutive interpreting of sentences from Chinese into Russian (250 characters) (t=1,41; p<0,07), which can be explained by the fact that students are proficient in non-linguistic universities with translation skills at an average level by the beginning of a pedagogical experiment within the framework of a verifiable lexical and grammatical transformation of the source material. Conclusion. The obtained results can be used in developing methods for teaching translation skills using original exercises to students of non-linguistic universities.

EFFECTIVENESS OF ORGANIZING PHYSICS LABORATORY LESSONS AND DEMONSTRATION OF EXPERIMENTS

Therefore, the most effective way to check theoretical information is conducting experiments and laboratory training. In the article, special attention is paid to the main methodological approaches to the effective organization of laboratory classes, the fact that experimental demonstrations are based on scientific innovations, as well as the role of laboratory work in the formation of scientific research and practical skills in students.

Information Frictions and Skill Signaling in the Youth Labor Market

This paper provides evidence that information frictions limit the labor market trajectories of US youth. We provide credible skill signals—recommendation letters based on supervisor feedback—to a random subset of 43,409 participants in New York’s summer jobs program. Letters increase employment the following year by 3 percentage points (4.5 percent). Earnings effects grow over four years to a cumulative $1,349 (4.9 percent). We find little evidence of increased job search or confidence; instead, signals may help employers better identify successful matches with high-productivity workers. Pulling youth into the labor market can, however, hamper on-time graduation, especially among low-achieving students. (JEL D82, H75, J13, J24, J31, J64)
