Литературный жанр в сознании читателя: эмпирический подход

From a cognitive point of view, literary genres do not exist regardless of their perception; they should be embodied in the reader’s mind. The purpose of cognitive genre study is to consider genre as a form of mental representation. According to our hypothesis, this representation combines figurative and propositional ways of encoding information. There is no doubt that the reconstruction of the mental representation of the genre in the mind of the reader requires an experimental study. This article publishes the results of a pilot experiment conducted among university students of pedagogical specialties of the Faculty of Psychological, Pedagogical and Special Education of Saratov University and school students of Saratov. The experimental data show that the representation of the genre in the mind of the reader can be based on the cluster model which suggests that the readers define a number of features by which they identify the genre. The prototype model of the genre is no less relevant: belonging of a particular work to a particular genre is determined in the mind of the reader by its similarity with the best genre model – a standard (or a prototype). The number of such standards is not very large. As a rule, this status is acquired by works that are included in the school literary canon. In the reader’s mind, genre classes are not formations with clear boundaries; rather, they are more likely to be built on the principle of “family resemblance”. The cognitive model of a genre in the mind of the reader has certain features of a field. Conducting cognitive genre research, i.e. identifying ways of representing the genre in the mind of a reader requires the development of a special questionnaire that takes into account the level of the ordinary (naive) reader who is not a philologist.

THE MOTIVATION COMPONENT OF READINESS FOR PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES IN THE APPLICANTS FOR HIGHER PEDAGOGICAL EDUCATION

The motivation component of readiness for professional activities in the applicants for higher pedagogical education is investigated. The relevance of the research stems from the fact that in the process of a teacher's professional activity, his/her motivation becomes an essential aspect of the specified activity. Therefore, one of the key problems of psychological and pedagogical science is connected with the study of the motivational sphere of the participants in the educational process as a leading factor in the effectiveness of educational activities. This, in turn, involves the study of realized motives involved in the formation of a personality, being a unique and free entity capable of self-determination as an important component of readiness for a certain activity. Readiness for pedagogical activity is understood as an integral formation of the personality, which consists in a focusing on pedagogical activity, arising on the basis of a positive attitude towards such activity and being conditioned by personality needs and sustainable motives, by awareness of the social significance of work, as well as by presence of professionally important and socially significant qualities, that ensure proper performance of professional duties. It was found that the motivation for the teacher's professional activity reveals a complex structure and hierarchy, and the teacher's activity is prompted by several motives forming a motivational complex that makes up a system or hierarchy of motives. In order to study the motives of future professional activity in the students of pedagogical specialties, a study of student motivation for obtaining higher education at Zhytomyr Ivan Franko State University in 2021-2022 was conducted. It was determined that the motives that occupy the leading place in the professional activity of a future teacher are being constantly actualized, act and exert a significant motivational influence on human activity; these are real motives. Some other motives, located at the bottom of the hierarchy of motives, have little influence on human activity and are often not detected at all; these are potential motives that can be actualized under certain circumstances.

The formation of foreign language competence of future teachers when working with flash cards

Problem statement . The modernization of higher education is a good ground for the use of electronic resources in ensuring accessibility, continuity and quality of teaching foreign languages. The use of interactive tools (simulators, flash cards, virtual whiteboards) meets the requirements to educational training programs for students of pedagogical directions and the challenges of modern society. A flash card is a card with a word, a concept, an image on one side and a translation on the other. The study aimed at substantiating the effectiveness of the use of flash cards for the formation of foreign language competence of future teachers. Methodology . Theoretical and methodological analysis and generalization were used to determine trends in the development of language education, the inclusion of informatization tools in foreign language activities and professional communication. The online platform Quizlet was chosen to work with ready-made flash cards and to create new thematic sets in digital format. The questions for the control work grouped into two blocks “Digital educational technologies” (50 points) and “Foreign language in professional communication” (50 points) were compiled. The study involved 54 students from Vyatka State University (the direction of 44.03.05 “Pedagogical education”, with two training profiles, bachelor's degree level). Pearson's chi-squared criterion was applied at the stage of statistical processing of the results. Results . The system of working with flash cards in the foreign language professional communication of future teachers is described: the study of the Quizlet functionality, working with ready-made sets of cards, automating and improving lexical units, developing their own thematic sets. In the course of independent work and network collaboration the students of the experimental group used Flashcards, Speller, Scatter, Quizlet Live modes. Statistically significant differences in the qualitative changes that occurred in the level of formation of foreign language competence were determined. Conclusion. The use of flash cards in the preparation of students of pedagogical specialties has a significant didactic potential for the development of their foreign language competence: the effect of immersion, competitiveness and obtaining positive emotions; resources for independent language learning in extracurricular time; overcoming the language barrier in the virtual gaming environment of information interaction. However, there are some drawbacks: monotony of forms for tests, lack of opportunity to practice pronunciation, partial support of operating modes in the mobile version.

Psychological adaptation of a person experiencing loneliness to the conditions of studying at a university

The experience of loneliness is one of the most important problems of society, which has existed for many years. The feeling of loneliness experienced by students of pedagogical training fields can negatively affect the success of mastering educational material, adaptation to a new social status, as well as negatively affect the development of the teaching profession image. It is most relevant to investigate the problem of experiencing loneliness in people who, by the nature of their professional activity, are involved in constant interaction with other members of society. The aim of our research is to study the psychological characteristics of the adaptation of a person experiencing loneliness to the study conditions at a university. It is one of the urgent problems caused by the influence of the success or failure of the adaptation process on the development of students attitudes to study, as well as to future professional pedagogical activity. The study was conducted on the basis of the Southern Federal University. The total number of respondents who took part in the study was 290 first-year students of pedagogical specialties of full-time education. The following methods were used in the study: "Methodology for diagnosing socio-psychological adaptation" by K. Rogers and R. Diamond, "Diagnosis of experiencing loneliness" by E.E. Rogovoy, methods of mathematical data processing Correlation criterion r-Spearman. As a result of the study, data were obtained indicating that there is a statistically proven relationship between the loneliness experienced by a person and the characteristics of adaptation to the study conditions at a university. The results of the study will make it possible to determine the features of individual work with students of pedagogical areas with different levels of loneliness and to develop an individual program for the adaptation of students, depending on the loneliness actually experienced by the individual, especially in the 1st year of study.

Theoretical and Methodological Analysis of the Formation of “Soft-skills” in Higher Education Students of Pedagogical Specialties of Higher Education Institutions of Ukraine

The purpose of the study is to carry out a theoretical and methodological analysis of the formation of “soft-skills” in higher education students of pedagogical specialties of higher education institutions of Ukraine. The study is based on system analysis, forecasting methods, comparative analysis, specification, and the study of modern legislative materials. The results highlight the interpretation and differences in the theoretical foundations of hard skills and soft skills. Attention is also drawn to the peculiarities of soft skills of applicants for higher pedagogical education in Ukraine. It is crucial to incorporate the "Six Thinking Hats" methodology, which encourages the development of independent problem-solving skills by approaching challenges through the lens of one mental action at a time. Implementing this approach necessitates significant student engagement. In Ukraine, teacher motivation represents a multifaceted element within the teacher training system. Additionally, outdated training methods pose another challenge that needs to be addressed. The conclusions emphasize innovative approaches to understanding the conditions for the development of soft skills, as well as the need to take into account the materials of state control bodies as sources for an objective analysis of the situation.

An adaptive system of foreign language training for an adaptive system of teaching a foreign language to students of pedagogical specialties: european experience

The individual characteristics of foreign language acquisition among students of pedagogical specialties and the selection of adaptive technologies considering these characteristics are examined in the article. An analysis of studies by methodological researchers that explores the psycho-physiological features of students' memory, thinking, attention, and the emotional sphere is provided. The article presents data on training students in pedagogical specialties based on the authors' developed learning model, utilizing adaptive educational technologies that consider individual language learning styles. Adaptive technologies such as communicative and audio-visual methods (AVM), personalized learning technologies, control-corrective teaching technologies (CCTT), business games, and adaptation-expansion-variation (AEV) learning technologies by both domestic and foreign authors are discussed. It is proven that students possess significant potential in intelligence and personality for effectively acquiring a foreign language in intensive learning conditions. For teachers, it is vital to select the appropriate adaptive technologies based on each student's group and individual characteristics. At the same time, educational institutions need to implement specific measures to support existing motivation and identify personal student traits that actively influence the learning process. Existing research conducted both in our country and abroad (mainly focusing on adaptive information systems) does not provide unanimous consensus on the effectiveness of the adaptive approach. Whether this is due to shortcomings in the conducted studies or the limitations of adaptive technologies remains to be seen as the adaptive approach is still in development. However, this method has shown effectiveness for students with certain levels of knowledge, skills, language abilities, and motivation when learning any foreign language. Other researchers in teaching foreign languages in pedagogical institutions can consider these results and develop their own variations of educational content within the framework of standard discipline programs. The more such studies are conducted, the faster this field of educational technology will be developed and the more promising its application will become clear. Additionally, the study can be extended toward developing electronic platforms based on existing content.

After all, such work allows you to reassess your own skills in using technology, acquire new knowledge, formulate a strategy for implementing project-based learning in secondary school practice, and build strong cause-and-effect relationships between the knowledge and experience of using it through technology and social media.All of this together allows us to observe the formation of a future teacher who is not separated from the challenges of the technology world, but who uses the opportunities of our time in a harmonious and high-quality way.

Developing Digital Competence of Future Teachers in the Modern Digital Learning Space

The article is devoted to the problem of formation of future teachers’ digital competence in the modern learning space. The purpose of the article is to determine the essence and content of a teacher’s digital competence on the basis of scientific literature analysis, to analyze the possibilities of formation of digital competence of students of pedagogical specialties in the modern learning space.
 The purpose realization involves the following tasks: to define and compare different definitions of the term “digital competence” by scientists; to reveal the essence and content of future teachers’ digital competence; to identify and characterize the ways, methods, forms, and means of formation of digital competence among the students of pedagogical specialties.
 Methodology. To achieve the purpose a complex of theoretical and empirical research methods was used. The theoretical methods included: analysis, comparison, generalization, systematization of scientific works and regulatory documents to determine the key concepts of the research and clarify the authors’ point of view regarding the essence of a teacher’s digital competence. In addition to the specified theoretical methods, empirical methods of scientific knowledge were used: the study of future teachers’ professional training, questionnaires, interviews with those who received pedagogical education, expert evaluation – in order to study the process of future teachers’ digital competence formation.
 Results. The analysis of international legal documents and scientific works of various scientists proves that the concept of “digital competence” is interpreted ambiguously. In particular, the first European framework of teachers’ digital competence states that digital competence is a specialist’s personal formation that integrates the following components: professional involvement, working with digital resources, teaching and learning with the use of these resources, evaluation of results, expansion of students’ opportunities, the development of digital competence in subjects of education. The formation of digital competence of students of pedagogical specialties is provided in various ways: teaching special courses, involving future teachers in educational activities based on the use of various digital tools, organizing students’ work with digital textbooks, reference sources and multimedia information systems, electronic simulators, digital laboratory tools, encouraging specialists to receive non-formal education.
 Conclusions. In the article, a future teacher’s digital competence is understood as a personal formation that integrates relevant motives, values, attitudes, knowledge of various digital resources, means, tools, technologies, as well as the ability to apply them in practical pedagogical activities on the basis of critical analysis and evaluation. The formation of future teachers’ digital competence involves a systematic combination of various methods and forms of education, constant rethinking of approaches to the organization and content of this process, ensuring an organic combination of methods of formal, non-formal and informal education.
