Creating a model of a training task set for a multitask practical training in the courses “Informatics” and “Information technologies in professional activity”

According to the federal state educational standards, the curriculum for socio-economic and humanitarian students of secondary vocational education (SVE) and higher education (HE) includes disciplines that provide mastery of competencies in the field of information and communication technologies. Along with the course of informatics, they include disciplines of the block “Information technologies in professional activity”: “Information Technologies in Court Activity” (SVE), “Information Technologies in Professional Activity” (for several specialties of SVE), “Information and Communication Technologies in Judicial Activity” (HE), “Information Technologies in Management” (HE), “Information Technologies in Translation Studies” (HE) and several other disciplines.Based on the analysis of scientific literature and an array of manuals — workshops provided to students and teachers by leading Russian electronic library systems (ELS), as well as own pedagogical work in teaching informatics and the block of academic courses “Information Technologies in Professional Activity”, the author proposes a model of training tasks set to be solved during the study of these courses. The relevance of the article subject is conditioned by the necessity to effectively use the time allocated by the curricula of socio-economic and humanitarian training areas of vocational education and higher education for the study of informatics and information technologies in professional activities. The novelty of the results presented by the author is confirmed by the absence of articles and reports on the topic in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI) database

How Does the Quality of Education Affect the Employment Quality of Secondary Vocational School Graduates?

Secondary education is an important stage for individuals to acquire the skills needed in the labor market. In recent years, the trend of pursuing higher education after secondary vocational education has weakened the relationship between the two. As an important stage for the cultivation of skills among secondary vocational education students, the influence of secondary education on the employment quality of secondary vocational school graduates has not received sufficient attention. An analysis of a sample survey of graduates from 10 schools participating in the Winning the Future Phase II project in 2023 found that cognitive abilities, non-cognitive abilities, and skills all promote high-quality employment for secondary vocational school graduates to varying degrees. Further analysis indicates that students with excellent academic performance and personality traits such as openness, extroversion, and agreeableness are more likely to achieve high job satisfaction, while skill certificates and general skills help secondary vocational school graduates obtain jobs matching their qualifications. Future development in vocational education should focus on the influence of secondary education on secondary vocational school students to help graduates achieve high-quality employment.

Learning to think critically through Socratic dialogue: Evaluating a series of lessons designed for secondary vocational education

This study reports the evaluation of a lesson series, developed in collaboration with teachers and experts, to generate a research-based solution for teaching critical thinking through Socratic dialogue in secondary vocational education. The lesson series has been evaluated for feasibility and tailoring to different target groups of students by five citizenship education teachers and 85 students. Data consisted of self-report questionnaires by teachers and students, complemented with observations of lessons.

Informatization of vocational education through the implementation of the model of the center of immersive technologies

Problem statement . Every year, immersive equipment becomes more accessible, and the material and technical base of educational organizations is filled with new innovative devices. An urgent scientific task is the development of methods and tools for the implementation and usage of immersive devices in the educational process. Methodology. The authors describe approaches to the informatization of education based on the model of the center of immersive technologies (CIT), which contributes to the solution of managerial, methodical, pedagogical and technical problems associated with the application of immersive technologies in the educational and career guidance processes of educational organizations. The main functions of the CIT model are divided into three components: training students of secondary vocational education (SVE) in working professions, the realization of short programs for advanced training and assessment of qualifications, career guidance of schoolchildren. The key users of the CIT model are SVE students, schoolchildren and their parents, the management team of the educational organizations, teachers. The CIT model can be implemented in any organization that has immersive equipment (VR/AR) and human resources. Results. The implementation of immersive simulators in teaching students in professional programs, educational practice, as well as in organizing and conducting professional excellence championships demonstrates approximately equal effectiveness in comparison with traditional teaching methods, except for the cases in which it is important to develop tactile skills in working with certain equipment. Using the example of the execution of VR simulators in the teaching of the subject “Technology” in the school course, the advantage of learning on real machines is demonstrated. It was discovered that the maximum pedagogical effect is achieved by adding VR simulators to the training course and by using a combined approach. VR simulators are necessary for work in the absence of workshops and serve as an important didactic propaedeutic tool when they are available. Conclusion. The domestic and foreign experience of using immersive technologies in educational and outreach activities is analyzed, the development projects of the Russian Federation in the field of immersive technologies are considered. The relevance, theoretical and practical significance of the development and implementation of the CIT model are substantiated. The results of approbation in educational institutions of secondary vocational and basic general education are presented.

Assessment of nutritional status of secondary vocational education students (on example of medical college)

Relevance. Currently, one of the most common risk factors for young students is eating disorders, manifested by high rates of overweight and obesity among adolescents.The purpose of the study. To study the nature of nutrition and the features of the component composition of the body of medical college students.Materials and methods. The observation group consisted of students of the 1st and 3rd courses of the medical college. Measured: height, body weight, fat-free body weight (BZHMT), fat mass (fat) and its proportion (% fat), active cell mass (ACM) and its proportion (%), the amount and distribution of fluid in the body, metabolic parameters.Results and discussion. Violations of the regularity of food intake, the absence of a number of biologically valuable foods in the daily diet of most students, more often in senior students, more often in girls, were revealed. Students' meals are associated with frequent visits to public catering places. During the period of study, the number of overweight and obese students increases. The results showed an increase in LM, a more pronounced increase in the per cent of LM of the body in young men, a decrease in the proportion of BZHM and AKM in the component composition of the body. The results of the correlation analysis confirmed that the increase in MT and BMI is more due to an increase in adipose tissue in young men. It was found that the BMI in boys is mainly due to the fat component, in girls to the fat and muscle components. They argue the need to develop preventive measures to rationalize the nutrition of students, including on the basis of an educational organization of secondary vocational education and correction of students' motor activity.
