Incivility, bullying, and poor health and well-being among students: a Swedish national study in higher education institutions

ObjectiveExposure to incivility and bullying among students in higher education institutions may have detrimental health and well-being outcomes. Nevertheless, the mechanism and interconnected pathways through which incivility and bullying are linked with poor health and well-being remain largely unexplored. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between incivility, bullying, and poor health and well-being among students in higher education institutions in Sweden, and whether gender influences these relationships. Furthermore, we examine whether bullying plays a mediating role in the relationship between incivility and poor health and well-being.MethodsWe analyzed a cross-sectional dataset of students drawn from 38 universities that are members of the association of Swedish higher education institutions. The data were collected from May to July 2021, covering 11,162 women and 6,496 men. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were utilized to estimate the relationships between incivility, bullying, and poor health and well-being. Additionally, multigroup analysis was applied to estimate the interactive effect of gender in these relationships.ResultsReports of both incivility and bullying were more prevalent among women than men. The results showed that incivility had direct relationships with both bullying β=0.578,p<0.01 and poor health and well-being β=0.301,p<0.01. However, the relationship between bullying and poor health and well-being was not significant. There were statistically significant gender differences in the relationships between incivility, bullying, and poor health and well-being (Δχ223=179.18,p<0.01). Nevertheless, bullying did not significantly mediate the relationship between incivility and poor health and well-being.ConclusionThe current study demonstrates that governments, university authorities, and policymakers must consider gender differences in incivility and bullying when developing policies and interventions intended to reduce these kinds of behaviors in organizations.

Understanding the Importance of Email Etiquette and Addressing Email Communication Challenges Among BTVI Students

Email serves as a communication channel for students in higher educational institutions to interact with teachers on course materials, assignments, and impending tests and seek guidance on personal or academic concerns. The present research examines student-instructor email communication, explicitly identifying the problematic elements in students' emails that hinder effective communication. The study examines a sample of 50 email communications composed and sent by first-year students to their instructors at Bright Technical and Vocational Institute (BTVI) in Kurdistan. Textual analysis is a valuable method for investigating research inquiries across several disciplines. The study findings demonstrated that informal aspects of student email exchanges include the usage of slang, overuse of capitalization, unconventional spelling, symbols, and emoticons. Lack of adherence to email etiquette norms and grammatical errors. These elements indicate a need for more understanding of formality, professionalism, and the decorum expected in a university atmosphere. Thus, it is advisable to implement pedagogical intervention to develop the necessary abilities for composing and comprehending emails. Providing education and assistance on the protocols and norms of email communication may enhance students' capacity to effectively and professionally interact via email in (BTVI), hence fostering good practices and increasing future employment prospects.

Cognitive aspects of interaction in the “Human — Artificial Intelligence” system

Abstract The article, based on empirical and theoretical research, reveals the phenomenology of transformations of the human cognitive sphere when interacting with artificial intelligence. The analysis of the indicated changes in the cognitive sphere is carried out on the basis of the “Concept of cognitive multi-channel Human-Computer interaction” developed by us. The essence of this concept is that the interaction of the cognitive sphere of human and artificial intelligence is implemented on the basis of the actualization and formation of typical cognitive phenomena. These phenomena are considered systemically and multifunctionally, namely as relatively independent cognitive: types of interactions, stages, strategies, channels, ontologies. Within the conceptual and substantive framework of this concept, we distinguish the following types of cognition (channels, strategies, etc.): I – orientational-cognitive; II – subject-cognitive; III – communicative and cognitive; IV – cognitive and analytical; V – cognitive and hermeneutic; VI-cognitive-ontological; VII – cognitive and creative. The identification of the indicated types of cognitive interactions is aimed at its representation as a complex, dynamic, multidimensional, multichannel intellectual system, the features of which are significant for educational and sociocultural practices, as well as for further development of artificial intelligence technologies, including its functional orientation and specificity, ergonomics, architecture, design and features of the interface. A study was conducted among students of higher education institutions aimed at determining the cognitive specificity (structure) of interaction in the “Human – Artificial Intelligence” system. Based on the analysis of the results of the distribution of answers for each of the test questions and the interpretation of the results of the cluster analysis (the Canopy algorithm was used), the dominance of the “I – orientational-cognitive” type of interactions was determined, which indicates a rather significant but initial interest in artificial intelligence technologies. There is also a relatively even distribution of all other types of cognitive interactions. The above reveals the novelty and innovation of artificial intelligence technology. This correlates with the respondents having developed different types of cognition, namely: orientational, analytical-synthetic, conceptual, interpretive, ontological, creative thinking, and corresponding intellectual intentions and motivation to use artificial intelligence tools in various spheres of activity.

Influence of cultural factors on the formation of students' social intelligence

The purpose of this article is to identify the nature and degree of influence of cultural factors on the formation of social intelligence of future specialists. The norms and values accepted in the social environment were considered as cultural factors. The content of students' social intelligence, its structural components, as well as the degree of influence of cultural factors on their formation were determined. For this purpose, the article compares the content of social intelligence of students of higher educational institutions with the characteristics related to the qualities of the "messianic personality". This is spiritual and innovative consciousness, personal traits of the original and modern human type, a creative approach to activity, etc. It has been determined that the gender factor also influences students' abilities for logical thinking, the formation of independent decision-making skills and the level of emotional intelligence. Self-assessment of the level of social intelligence in students is quite high.

Beyond the screen: a comparative study of the student's perception of online education effectiveness in pre- and post-pandemic times

This research was carried out to compare the effectiveness of online education in pre- and post-pandemic periods as perceived by the students of higher education institutions in developing countries facing financial and technological limitations. For this purpose, time-lagged data from 288 students of higher education institutions were collected and analysed in SPSS version 26 using the paired sample t-test for differences. Using adapted questionnaires, the effectiveness of online education was assessed in terms of blended learning, goal setting, interaction, time management, self-evaluation, learning environment, skills to use online learning tools, quality of learning technologies, and learning motivation. Results indicate that students' perception significantly differs during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period, compared to all dimensions of online education. It was found that the students, teachers, and institutions have acquired the requisite knowledge, skills, and technology during the pandemic. Therefore, the usefulness of online education has improved in the post-pandemic period. These results significantly affect all stakeholders, including students, teachers, researchers, institutions, and policymakers. The study suggests continuing blended learning systems in higher education institutions to ensure extended access to equitable education and the sustainability of online learning practices.

Медиатизированный дискурс православного студенчества об РПЦ

The article is devoted to the analysis of the modern Orthodox conservative mediatized discourse among student bloggers on the Telegram messenger platform. The relevance of the study lies in the lack of development of both the topic of mediatization of Orthodoxy and the topic of studying Orthodox conservatism in modern sociology. The study of this phenomenon in the work took place through the prism of a conceptual approach, which received the name "mediatization of religion" in scientific sociological literature. The scientific problem is that studies of the mediatization of Orthodoxy are no longer a new field, but their number is still small. A large number of religious groups that are currently forming and functioning are outside the field of view of researchers. The figurative approach, which took shape in the German school of studying mediatization, was chosen as the research method. The figurative approach re-actualizes the concept of “figuration” by Norbert Elias and considers modern communicative figuration in media through four components: communicative practices, media ensemble, frame of relevance and constellation of actors. The communicative figuration of modern Orthodox conservatism in the Telegram messenger was taken as the basis of our study, since this platform provides opportunities for discussion on social and theological issues. The purpose of the article is to describe this communicative figuration through its four components. In this regard, the objectives of the study were: a description of the context of formation and features of the modern stage of studying the mediatization of Orthodoxy; a characteristic of the 4 components of the communicative figuration of modern Orthodox conservatism among young people. The empirical part of the study was based on a series of expert, semi-structured interviews with the authors of Telegram channels included in the youth category and who are students of higher educational institutions. In total, 30 interviews were collected from March to August 2024, of which 5 were selected for the article. The results of the study demonstrated that at the moment there is a constellation of actors of modern Orthodox conservatism, in the youth pole of which a group of students can be distinguished. Orthodox conservative students build their own identity, based on the Orthodox tradition, but only in the form of moral prescriptions. They are practically not integrated into the existing structures of the Russian Orthodox Church. The frame of relevance of the communicative figuration of Orthodox conservatism considers Orthodoxy as an integral part of modern Russian culture and humanitarian science. But in the frame, there is also an opposition to liberalism, including church liberalism, which occurs on issues of the foundations of society.

THE USE OF THE CLIL METHOD IN THE PROCESS OF TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE FOR PROFESSIONAL PURPOSES

Learning a foreign language in the modern world is an undeniably important component of training specialists in various branches of the economy. A specialist who speaks a foreign language should also know professional terminology in both languages for more efficient work. Thus, there is a need to learn a foreign language in the relevant professional field. Scientists have studied this problem and have developed and implemented a new method in foreign language learning ‒ CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning). The purpose of the research is to determine the concept and effectiveness of the CLIL method in forming the professional foreign language communicative competence of students of higher education institutions. The article defines CLIL based on research by many scientists. On this basis, a proper definition of this concept is proposed. It has been demonstrated that CLIL is a harmonious combination of teaching a foreign language and a professional subject by a teacher of a foreign language or a professional subject. It is shown that in order to use the CLIL method in a non-linguistic university, teachers must meet two essential criteria: knowledge of a foreign language at a level suitable for teaching and knowledge of a professional subject at the appropriate level for teaching. Preparation for implementing the CLIL method in HEIs is a very complex and time-consuming process. The importance of understanding the concept and working principles of this method by the teacher himself should be emphasized, as well as what needs to be done for this. In addition, cooperation between the teacher of a foreign language and a professional subject is essential. An experimental study was also conducted to determine the feedback of students regarding the use of the CLIL method in the process of learning a foreign language. The survey showed that all students were satisfied with the CLIL teaching method. The surveyed students emphasized the effectiveness of duplicating topics from professional subjects and a foreign language using the CLIL method and increasing motivation to study.

On the Importance of Extracurricular Physical Education Activities in the Physical Education of Students of Higher Education Institutions

The article presents material on the organization of extracurricular activities in physical education at a higher educational institution. The relevance of this topic is due to structural and substantive changes in undergraduate educational programs and work programs in physical education, which have led to an increasing role of extracurricular activities in the formation of student's physical culture competence. This circumstance requires consideration of issues of planning, organization and methodological support of this type of pedagogical activity. The purpose of the study is to identify the organizational and educational aspects of student sports and wellness activities conducted in their free time from study at the university. As an example of the organization of extracurricular work carried out by teachers of the Department of Physical Culture and Sports, a number of physical culture and recreation and sports events held at the Omsk State Agrarian University named after P. A. Stolypin are proposed. The analysis and generalization of pedagogical experience in the higher education system, data from literary sources on the problems of physical education of students allowed us to make practical recommendations on the basics of planning, goal-setting and organizational features of extracurricular activities in physical culture. The possibility of increasing the effectiveness of this activity is emphasized due to the uniform distribution of activities throughout the academic year, attracting students with different levels of physical, sports and technical readiness and motivation in the field of physical culture and sports to participate. In addition to the calendar plan, the organizers for each event must define a goal, develop a program, create a festive atmosphere, ensure the safety of spectators and participants, and create conditions for informational coverage of the planned event.

Stages of formation of artistic skills of art students

The author's elaboration of the stages of formation of artistic and visual skills of students of higher education institutions in the process of creative activity is disclosed and presented in the article for general consideration. The analysis of scientific, psychological-pedagogical and educational-methodical achievements of scientists was carried out in order to specify the content of the concept of "skill", classification of types and stages of the process of formation of skills. The subject of our research "artistic skills" is presented on the basis of thorough theoretical studies of scientists, the idea of ​​the concept of professional and artistic skills of fine art teachers is expanded, a generalization is made regarding the diversity of their types, to which we include artistic-technical, artistic-methodical, artistic-workshop and artistic - visual skills, which are also divided into their own subspecies. In the process of scientific research, the concept of psychological and pedagogical foundations of "formation of artistic skills" and the "exercise" method of generalizing its types and kinds were considered. A list of effective means of the system of educational tasks for art students of higher educational institutions is proposed for consideration, namely, technical methods and techniques in working with soft materials, such as: method - hatching, extinguishing, mixing colors, etc.; technique - side shading, shading, dry washing, wet brush, pen and others. Based on modern theoretical and scientific developments and conceptual ideas of scientists regarding the procedure of "formation of artistic skills", relying on our own professional experience, we reveal the essence and expediency of each of the six stages: organizational, diagnostic, analytical, systematic, synthetic and automation. In accordance with the presented stages, goals, tasks, methods, ways, rules, advantages and disadvantages of their application in practice are determined. The formation of students' artistic skills is due to the use of a number of appropriate methods: scientifically pedagogical - organizational, communicative, instruction, demonstration, illustration, explanation, master class, research, control, verification, current, forecasting, competition, observation and evaluation; personally developed artistic and technical methods that contribute to the effective and rapid mastering of the specifics of performing new technical actions by students in artistic educational activities - "experimental-diagnostic", "differential-constructive", "constructive division", "constructive combination", "holistic-constructive" ", "variable-interval"
