Qualimetric model of maturity of competencies for graduates of basic educational programs

The rapid growth of education digitalization has significantly increased the role of the electronic information educational environment of educational organizations. It has become the basic tool for organizing, maintaining and administering the educational process. The electronic information educational environment of an educational organization should ensure the recording of the progress of the educational process and the results of mastering the main professional educational program, i. e. competencies, based on the results of intermediate certification carried out in the distance learning system integrated into the electronic information educational environment. The article considers the application of qualimetric approaches in the assessment of the quality of graduate competencies in the implementation of higher education programs in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Education 3++. The mathematical model of evaluation of the results of mastering the graduate program (competence forming) depending on the contribution of academic disciplines to the formation of each competence is proposed. Two methods of result evaluation are considered: as an arithmetic average and as a weighted value from the obtained evaluations in the disciplines forming this competency, as well as the possibility of monitoring the formation of competency in the process of mastering academic disciplines and entering the results of intermediate attestation into the electronic portfolio of the student. Assessment of the formation of competencies can be the next stage in the development of the student’s electronic portfolio, which is part of the electronic information educational environment.

ПОДДЕРЖКА МОЛОДЕЖИ В ПОЛУЧЕНИИ КАЧЕСТВЕННОГО ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ И ТРУДОУСТРОЙСТВЕ: СОЦИАЛЬНО- ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКИЕ ГАРАНТИИ В ДАНИИ, НОРВЕГИИ, ФИНЛЯНДИИ И ШВЕЦИИ

The labor market in the Nordic countries has adjusted to the general high educational standards of the population. Young people who, having just graduated from school, have neither the education necessary for employment, nor the work experience required by many employers become especially vulnerable. Accordingly, this article focuses on the socio-economic support measures for young people in the four Nordic countries: Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden. In these states, young people can focus on obtaining quality education that contributes to further productive and freely chosen employment. The state ensures their existence during admission to study and job searches. Young people can afford to choose the profession that really interests them. Thus, young people do not need to enroll in accessible (but not always interesting) specialties. Which is fully consistent with the objectives of the ILO Convention on the Promotion of Employment and Protection against Unemployment, 1988 (No. 168), i.e. to promote “full, productive and freely chosen employment by all appropriate measures, including social security”. Nevertheless, in order to receive support from the state, young people need to demonstrate active attempts to enter educational institutions and participate in programs of employment agencies. The authors analyze the logic and content of the youth vector of social policy in these countries and analyze specific measures of economic support for youth. The analysis is carried out on the basis of studying scientific literature, regulatory legal acts, statistical and reporting materials.

The use of Lapbook-technology in the organization of academic and professional interaction with students of a technical university in a foreign language

Federal State Educational Standards for Higher Education of the third generation are aimed at achieving harmonization between the needs of modern production and the tasks set by higher educational institutions for the training of highly qualified specialists. The paper discusses the need to find and apply new, interactive teaching methods and technologies in the educational process of higher education institutions. To solve practical problems or problems in the process of teaching foreign languages, a project methodology is proposed that promotes an independent acquisition of knowledge and their integration from various subject areas. Lapbook technology as one of many design techniques appeals to the creative activity of students personality. The main provisions of this technology are analyzed as a means of complex development of all types of speech activity in academic and professional interaction with students of a technical university in a foreign language. Characteristics (goal, tasks, developed competencies), basic parameters of students activities are described, an approximate structure for the development of subject and meta-subject skills at the stages of the lesson is developed. The development and application of training sessions using Lapbook technology in the framework of teaching a foreign language in higher educational institutions will undoubtedly contribute to the achievement of the tasks set by the new Federal State Educational Standards for Higher Education.

Neuroradiology training in EU: international survey of 31 countries within UEMS frame

ObjectiveTo assess the current framework of interventional and diagnostic neuroradiology in EuropeMethodsThe UEMS (European Union of Medical Specialists) Section of Radiology and the subspecialty UEMS Division of Neuroradiology collected by e-mail a survey on the situation of diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology’ training and practice in Europe. The questionnaire was sent to the national delegates from 31 UEMS member countries, belonging to the European Union, the European Economic Area and the Council of Europe. In case of uncertain or discordant replies, the survey envisaged the involvement of neuroradiology scientific societies’ experts for providing a decisive answer.ResultsA formal post-residency training in diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology is provided respectively by 12/31 and 20/31 of the European countries. Currently, for becoming neuroradiologist in a country without fellowship program, a radiologist should (1) get subspecialty credits, (2) follow training inside national or international neuroradiology departments, or (3) perform the main reporting activity in neuroradiology.In nearly 2/3 of the States included in the survey, the neurointerventional procedures are provided by radiologists (22/31) and in the most frequent scenario a specific training in neurovascular is required to all radiologist or non-radiologist candidates (18/31).ConclusionsThe European framework of neuroradiology’s training and practice that emerged through this survey is fragmented, but there is an increasing attention by European scientific societies and institutions to create a common path of training and practice that can guarantee high educational and patient care standards.

APPLICATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN DISTRIBUTION OF UNIVERSITY SYSTEM MODEL

Higher education and improving the quality indicators of higher education is always a hot problem for all time. Education is the core of the country's society. Over hundreds of years, higher education systems have changed to match the level of civilization, the amount of human knowledge, the new pace of life and the development of information technology. . Many higher education methods in developed countries have applied very effectively and met many high educational standards such as ABET, QS - Quacquarelli Symonds, Times Higher Education, SARWU - Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities ... Using AI, Big Data has also been applied to minimize time dependence and increase human understanding. From the traditional education model, the world has come to teach online with the application of IoT. In this article, we introduce a new model of higher education that can be applied in the near future to higher-end IoT applications than online, distributed education. We call this the Distributed Higher Education System Model – DUSM.

Profile of optometrists in Victoria registered in 1937 after five decades of unregulated practice

BackgroundThe enactment of the Opticians Act by the Victorian parliament on 17 December 1935 transformed the standard of optometric practice in Victoria and laid the foundations for future educational advance. Previously any person could practise optometry in Victoria regardless of their qualifications or training. The Act established an Opticians Registration Board the first task of which was to register optometrists deemed competent enough to practise on the basis of their prior experience or their optometric qualifications.MethodsThis article uses the working papers of the Registration Board at the time to construct a profile of the optometrists in practice in 1936 including the number of optometrists in practice at the time, their qualifications, the extent of their prior experience, their conjoined businesses and their geographic location.ResultsThere were 489 optometrists in practice who applied for registration in 1936 of whom 338 were subsequently registered, two‐thirds on the basis of prior experience and one‐third because they held an optometric qualification recognised under the Act. Eleven of them were women. Sixty‐one per cent of them were solely engaged in the practice of optometry and 39 per cent practised in conjunction with another occupation, the most common of which were watchmaker, jeweller and pharmacist. Thirty‐eight per cent practised in the central business district of Melbourne, 37 per cent in Melbourne suburbs and 25 per cent in regional Victoria. In 1937 the ratio of registered optometrists to population was 1:5,482.ConclusionThe Opticians Act of 1935 immediately lifted the competence of optometrists in practice in 1936 by refusing to register 31 per cent of those in practice who were judged to lack the necessary competence, and laid the foundations for higher educational standards in the future.

LICENSING AND ACCREDITATION AS TOOLS OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN UKRAINE

The relevance of the article is that in the theory and practice of administrative law the leading place is occupied by the category of tools of public administration. The sphere of providing higher education in Ukraine is not exclusive. The article forms licensing and accreditation as tools of public administration of higher education in Ukraine. It is determined that such procedures determine the efficiency of educational institutions and the quality of education they provide. Medicines are a group of consumer goods of special social importance. It is substantiated that licensing in the field of higher education is a tool of public administration (Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine), the content of which is the issuance, renewal and revocation of free economic licenses, issuance of duplicate free economic licenses, invalidation of free economic licenses, licensing cases and license registers. control over the observance by licensees of license conditions, issuance of orders on elimination of violations of license conditions, as well as orders on elimination of violations of legislation in the field of higher education. It is substantiated that accreditation is a tool of public administration (National Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education), which is provided by current legislation in order to verify the ability (opportunity) of free education to carry out quality educational activities to train specialists in a particular specialization. It is concluded that licensing and accreditation as tools of public administration of higher education in Ukraine - is the need for higher education to confirm the compliance of the educational program of a particular specialty and level of higher education standard of higher education and the right of higher education to appeal to a certain subject of public administration (Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the National Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education).

Abstract 20: A Standardized Education Class To Increase Efficiency And Access To Breast Reconstruction

Purpose: Shared decision-making is a key component of patient-centered care and has been shown to improve patient satisfaction and quality of life. Strategies to improve access to breast reconstruction while maintaining high quality standards of patient education, fostering shared decision-making, have not been established in Plastic Surgery so far. Methods: Since January 2019 a 1-hour standardized patient education class was offered to all new patients in addition to standard consultations in the breast reconstruction clinic of the senior author. The number of new patient consultations per clinic day over a period of 6 months and the average consultation time after introduction of the patient education class were compared to the number of new consultations and the consultation time before introduction of the class. To evaluate the patients’ perception of shared decision-making, the 9-item Shared Decision Making Questionnaire(SDM-Q9) and the Satisfaction with Informationscale of the BREAST-Q Reconstruction Module were electronically distributed among the patients and compared between the two groups (n=30 for class participants, n = 20 for non-participants). Results: After introduction of the patient education class, the average duration of new patient encounters was significantly shorter compared to the period before the class was introduced (31.8 min vs. 53.5 min, p < 0.01). Accordingly, the rate of new patient consultations increased by 43.5% from 4.6 to 6.6/clinic day after introduction of the class. No significant differences were seen between class participants and non-participants in the SDM-Q9 scores (average sum score: 96 vs. 91, p = 0.58) and BREAST-Q scores (74 vs. 85, p = 0.14), indicating a non-inferiority of the education class in terms of patient education and autonomy compared to traditional consultations. Conclusion: By introducing a standardized patient education class to our breast reconstruction clinic, we were able to significantly shorten the average duration of new patient encounters, thereby increasing access for patients to breast reconstruction, while at the same time maintaining a high standard of patient education and perceived shared decision-making among patients.

Актуальні проблеми правової підготовки здобувачів вищої освіти за спеціальністю «Публічне управління та адміністрування» в Україні

Метою статті є висвітлення актуальних проблем правової підготовки здобувачів вищої освіти за спеціальністю «Публічне управління та адміністрування» в Україні (на прикладі першого (бакалаврського) рівня).&#x0D; Наукова новизна полягає у проведенні аналізу існуючого стану якості правової освіти осіб, які навчаються в українських вищих навчальних закладах за вказаною спеціальністю. Аналіз здійснювався шляхом дослідження п’ятнадцяти освітньо-професійних програм «Публічне управління та адміністрування» на предмет наявності навчальних дисциплін правового спрямування у складі обов’язкових компонент цих програм. Аналізувався також стандарт вищої освіти за спеціальністю «Публічне управління та адміністрування» для першого (бакалаврського) рівня, затверджений у 2018 році Міністерством освіти і науки України. Встановлено, що наведений у досліджуваному освітньому стандарті перелік спеціальних (фахових) компетентностей випускників є недостатнім, що послугувало підставою для обґрунтування конкретних пропозицій стосовно його доповнення низкою додаткових компетентностей правового характеру.&#x0D; Головний висновок, сформульований за результатами дослідження, полягає в тому, що, на відміну від колишніх спеціальностей галузі знань «Державне управління», з моменту започаткування в Україні у 2015 році спеціальності «Публічне управління та адміністрування» істотно зменшився обсяг та змінився характер правової підготовки здобувачів вищої освіти за спеціальністю 281 ПУА, розмита її концептуальна державно-управлінська основа, що цілком прогнозовано призведе до зниження рівня правової компетентності випускників цієї спеціальності. Для підвищення ефективності правової освіти студентів спеціальності «Публічне управління та адміністрування» запропоновано внести доповнення у відповідний стандарт вищої освіти шляхом наведення понять «публічне управління та адміністрування», «сфера публічного управління та адміністрування», а також включення в нього низки спеціальних (фахових, предметних) компетентностей правового спрямування.

Estudo Comprativo sobre o Sistema de Acreditação da FATEC (SP) E FAETERJ (RJ)

A acreditação está presente em diversos sistemas de Educação Superior no mundo, este processo de avaliação surge devido à preocupação com a qualidade do ensino e consequentemente com a formação dos alunos que frequentam os cursos oferecidos pelas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES). É possível observar que discussões sobre o tema acreditação tem repercutido na Europa e Estados Unidos (EUA), lembrando que a criação desse ideal surgiu a partir da Declaração de Bolonha (1999) que determinava a padronização do Ensino Superior, no que se refere aos currículos, como forma de garantir a qualidade do ensino. (POLIDORI,CARVALHO, 2016).

Conceptualization of the concept of "business" in the process of teaching a foreign language in a non-linguistic university

The problem of conceptualization of the lexeme "business" in the process of teaching a foreign language is considered on the example of MGIMO Odintsovo branch (Moscow region). Authors present a study of the conceptualization of the content of education in the process of learning foreign language by students of nonlinguistic training directions in the conditions of implementation of the current Federal state educational standard of higher education 3++ (bachelor's and master's levels) implemented in the educational process of educational institutions of the Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. The methods of working with the concept are described and the algorithm of work is developed, which was successfully tested on the basis of the Institute. The materials of the proposed study, which were made by the national corpus of the English language, authentic textbooks and educational sites, are analyzed. These materials allow students to comprehensively and comprehensively study the concept of "business", and teachers to update the content of education. The communicative orientation of the process of learning a non native language contributes to a comprehensive analysis of this concept from the point of view of the native culture and the culture of the studied language. Proposed basic principles of designing of educational process of the subject: 1) study of the first semester of practice-oriented interpretation in order to fit the specifics of the concept; 2) dialogical process of practicebased communication in a second language in the study of the concept; 3) implementation of scientific-research work of students based on the application of the original literature. The developed algorithm involves the use of various forms of active work of students on the development of the concept: individual, pair and group. The algorithm includes three stages of work: construction of associograms, fixing the concept space and comparison. It is established that the proposed form of work with the concept is aimed not only at the development of educational motivation of students, but also to improve the level of foreign language proficiency of students and foreign language communicative competence.

Addressing Student Girevances

This topic is focused on student grievances. Every student has its own problems and pressures at school. SDA schools should have at least a proper education on educating teachers to show that they really care and train the students to love Jesus. They need fair judgment to help students boost their self-esteem. Students must felt that somebody looks after them when they are in trouble or in difficulties. In the school, they could have at least leaders or a committee to approach when students are in need emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Like in the book of Matthew chapter 18, there are only two things God has emphasized which are love and humbleness. These are the things we should inculcate and practice in our school. There’s a large need for cooperation and openness between teachers and students in school. Whereas non-Adventists could appreciate and realized that SDA schools are not only promoting a high standard of education but also preparing the students for heaven.

Distance learning in medical education: world experience

The university is responsible for creating an academic environment where teaching and research can develop harmoniously and optimally. This requires replacing the traditional static concept of medical education with a dynamic one. In carrying out such a reform, one of the important components is the evolution of an electronic resource, Internet technologies, and online learning information platforms.Objective — to investigate world experience in introduction of distance education.Materials and methods. Educational e-resources AAMC, EPERC, HEAL, MERLOT, IVIMEDS were studied. About 50 articles from PubMED database were also included to the study and 13 of them were selected for further detailed investigation.Results and discussion. The tasks to be solved during the introduction of distance learning were identified: the creation of a flexible infrastructure that will provide access to e-learning for all students and teachers; improving digital skills of the academic population; ensuring high educational standards for students and teachers. Certain aspects of the introduction of distance learning were noted: students are more positive and attentive to the materials prepared by the lecturer with distance learning and demons-trate better test results on the provided material; there are some difficulties in the organizational aspects of distance learning and it is less clear than traditional forms of learning; the correct and responsible organization of distance learning allows teachers to also increase the organization of traditional classes; the variety of teaching options allows to provide education with wide geographical distribution.Conclusions. We analyzed the world experience in the evolution of the introduction of distance learning. A number of advantages of the new teaching methodology were revealed in comparison with the traditional approach, such as the possibility of continuous access to educational materials, the choice of one’s own learning pace, and cost-effectiveness. The greatest effectiveness in medical education was shown by a combination of traditional and distance learning methods.

Using examination performance data and focus groups to inform teaching \u2013 a case study from final year students of veterinary medicine

BackgroundStudent feedback has played an important role in the maintenance of quality and standards in higher education. Perhaps the most commonly used method to capture feedback is a series of questions or statements where students indicate their degree of satisfaction or agreement. Focus groups offer an alternative means of capturing ‘richer’ qualitative data relating to students’ thoughts on course structure. Aside from student evaluations, student examination performance has been used as a method to evaluate the efficacy of curriculum changes at programme level. However, this data is utilised less so at a ‘finer detail’ level to identify specific issues with the delivery of teaching.Case presentationThe purpose of this report was to outline the approach taken using qualitative and quantitative data to identify problems with a specific area of teaching, inform a new teaching approach and to assess the impact of those changes. Following quantitative and qualitative analysis, a practical class on dairy herd fertility performance was highlighted as an area for improvement. After the introduction of the newly formatted practical class with a greater focus on self-directed learning, there was a significant increase in the average score (p < 0.001) and a decrease in the proportion of students failing (p < 0.001) the question that assessed the analysis of dairy herd fertility data. In addition, the R-squared value between students’ performance in the fertility question and their performance in the overall examination increased from 0.06 to 0.11.ConclusionsThe combination of qualitative focus group data and quantitative analysis of examination performance data represent robust methods for identifying problems associated with specific aspects of veterinary teaching.
