Исследование отношения студентов вузов к использованию арт-терапии

The article presents the results of an empirical study, the purpose of which is to study the attitude of university students to the use of art therapy. It was assumed that students have insufficient knowledge about art therapy, and the study of art therapy courses by future psychologists and teachers is important for the development of their professional competencies. A questionnaire was developed that included eight questions characterizing students’ knowledge of art therapy (general understanding and familiarity with it, its definition, applicability and effectiveness, types, benefits for professional and psychological tasks). A survey of 42 students of the Faculty of Psychology and Social Pedagogy of the Taganrog Institute named after A.P. Chekhov (branch) of the Russian State Economic University (RINH) was conducted, as well as 39 students of technical areas of the Southern Federal University in Taganrog. The main result of the study was that students’ knowledge of art therapy was quite poor (especially students of technical specialties). At the same time, a significant part of students are interested in art therapy and consider it useful for professional development and psychological health. The results obtained can be used in the development of university academic disciplines in art therapy. A conclusion is made about the desirability of including some art therapy methods in the training program (primarily psychological and pedagogical areas), which will improve the quality of training of future specialists.

Devising an approach to the use of distance education technologies in performing control measures for technical students

The object of this study is the process of implementation of control measures with the help of distance learning technologies for students of technical specialties. The problem of the application of information and communication technologies for the effective implementation of final control during distance learning has been studied. An authentic algorithm for creating a test on the Moodle platform has been developed. The proposed algorithm is based on the use of the classical structure of the ticket, which allows implementing an approach to final control that is closest to the traditional one. This is important for assessing the acquired practical students competences of engineering specialties since for them the control measure may include a combination of textual, graphic, and computational tasks. The application of the algorithm in practice allows one to improve the quality of the final assessment by ensuring equal conditions for students, attracting the optimal set of tools for this, as well as identifying the student and thus ensuring the transparency of the control measure. Verification of the developed algorithm during the quarantine period sessions at the Faculty of Transport Construction of the National Transport University demonstrated a better adaptability of students to conduct control measures in remote form. This is confirmed by an increase in quality (from 1.16 % to 6.8 %) and success (to 7.4 %) rates among students, as well as a high level of student satisfaction in 2022 with the effectiveness of online learning, which was determined through an anonymous questionnaire. Promising steps regarding the use of the algorithm in the final evaluation are the development of measures for the implementation of automated recognition of the emotional status of students

Проведення аналогій у процесі формування математичних понять у студентів технічних спеціальностей

The article demonstrates the idea of applying the method of analogies in the process of forming mathematical concepts among students of technical specialties. Different approaches to the interpretation of the process of making analogies in the educational process are analyzed. Based on the analysis of scientific studies devoted to the specified issue, the method of conducting analogies is defined as a method of scientific knowledge that allows you to form conclusions about the researched object by comparing it with an already known object. Among other things, the main consequence of mental actions when conducting an analogy is an inference – the result of conducting an analogy, which allows you to draw a conclusion about the similarity or difference of the features (elements) of the studied objects or subjects, as well as their properties. Therefore, the result of analogizing (making an analogy) is students' acquisition of new knowledge about an unknown object (subject).
 The method of analogies has two important functions: the transition from a known information object to an unknown one, and the transition from a “simple” information object to its “complex” counterpart. An important feature of the analogy method is its potential for application in the formation of mathematical concepts. Thus, taking into account the dialectical unity of the functional properties of the method of analogies (explanatory and searching functions), the explanatory function of the method of analogies, in particular when forming concepts, is realized by building models for carrying out analogies, which will become the basis for forming an idea of a specific concept (object), searching the function of the method of analogies during the formation of concepts is based on the fact that students carry out an analysis and synthesis of the received information, build hypotheses regarding a specific information structure (concept).
 The purpose of the article is to reveal the essence of the method of analogies, to demonstrate its implementation in the process of forming mathematical concepts among students of technical specialties.
 The conducted study of the method of analogies allows us to characterize the basic factors of its implementation in the educational process.
 Given the multifacetedness of the chosen research topic, the prospects for further research include theoretical and practical developments in the implementation of the concept of the method of conducting analogies in the mathematical training of future technical specialists.

В настоящее время в связи с социально-экономическими обстоятельствами растет спрос на специалистов, обладающих не только профессиональными навыками, но и умением свободно общаться на иностранном языке и самостоятельно принимать решения. Актуальной задачей в условиях глобализации является поиск эффективных путей изучения иностранного языка. Будущие специалисты должны обладать иноязычной коммуникативной компетентностью на высоком уровне. Важным средством международного общения и инструментом эффективной межкультурной коммуникации выступает иностранный язык по профессиональному направлению студентов. Одной из самых актуальных проблем современной методики является уменьшение количества аудиторных часов на изучение иностранного языка. Самостоятельная деятельность и автономия студентов способствуют эффективному овладению иноязычным материалом, стимулирует познавательные и профессиональные интересы, развивает творческую активность и инициативу, способствует росту мотивации обучения. Для достижения надлежащего уровня сформированности иноязычной коммуникативной компетентности необходимо использование адекватных современным требованиям стратегий обучения студентов нелингвистических специальностей иностранного языка. Currently, due to socio-economic circumstances, there is a growing demand for specialists who have not only professional skills, but also the ability to communicate fluently in a foreign language and make decisions independently. An urgent task in the context of globalization is to find effective ways to learn a foreign language. Future specialists should have a high level of foreign language communicative competence. An important means of international communication and an instrument of effective intercultural communication is a foreign language in the professional direction of students. One of the most pressing problems of modern methodology is to reduce the number of classroom hours for learning a foreign language. Independent activity and autonomy of students contribute to the effective mastery of foreign language material, stimulates cognitive and professional interests, develops creative activity and initiative, contributes to the growth of learning motivation. In order to achieve the appropriate level of formation of foreign language communicative competence, it is necessary to use strategies adequate to modern requirements for teaching students of non-linguistic specialties of a foreign language.

Peculiarities of the Teaching of European Studies for Technical Specialties Students in Higher Educational Institutions of Ukraine (on the Example of Lviv Polytechnic National University)

The purpose of the publication is to study the state and peculiarities of teaching European studies for students of technical specialties in higher educational institutions of Ukraine, mainly on the example of Lviv Polytechnic National University (hereinafter LPNU), where the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Chair project “European Studies for Technical Specialties” (hereinafter EUSTS) has been implemented since September 2022. The hypothesis of the presented research is the statement that with the strengthening of the European integration course of Ukraine the demand for knowledge about the European Union and the European integration of Ukraine among students of technical specialties is increasing, and university education is ready to satisfy such a request, applying the latest methods and approaches in the organization of education. The main focus is on clarifying the peculiarities of the formation of European studies in Ukraine; including not only classical, but also technical universities in this process; search for effective mechanisms for implementing knowledge about the EU into the educational process of students of technical specialties. To achieve the specified goals, a number of research methods were used, such as: historical-comparative, periodization, analysis of empirical data, systemic and structural-functional. It has been found that the development of European studies in Ukraine has gone through several stages of its formation. The first lasted from the moment Ukraine regained its state independence in 1991 and was characterized by the presence of limited opportunities in universities to introduce European studies in the conditions of a centralized higher education system. The second stage was marked by the adoption of the Law of Ukraine “On Higher Education” (2014), which, in fact, provided sufficient tools for the development of European studies in Ukrainian universities. Similarly, at that time, the study of the European Union and European integration was formed at Lviv Polytechnic National University, including for students of technical specialties. On the basis of statistical data, it has been concluded that among the students of the National Academy of Sciences, there is a growing interest in the study of academic disciplines related to the EU and the European integration course of Ukraine. To a large extent, this is explained by the current political status of Ukraine as a candidate for EU membership and the strengthening of Ukrainian society’s support for the process of European integration as a result of Russian aggression. Accordingly, a number of educational disciplines have been introduced for students of technical specialties at the level of LPNU in recent years, which form knowledge about the EU and European integration, but only thanks to the implementation of international projects here, mainly the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet programs. This creates prerequisites for the fact that, in the future, separate educational programs in European studies can be developed at the university, which are most expedient to implement at the second (master’s) and third (PhD) educational levels. It is important that they focus on those policies of the EU and European integration directions of Ukraine that are of particular interest to students of technical specialties, for example, EU digital policy, EU energy policy, EU policy in the field of climate, environmental protection, etc. The acquired competences will not only allow the graduates of LPNU to implement European standards and values in their professional activities, but also to more effectively use the EU toolkit in the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine. Also, taking into account the recommendations of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Ukraine and the political situation of the state, it is worth introducing a mandatory educational discipline for all students of technical specialties of Ukrainian universities on the topic of the European Union, its principles, foundations and values, as well as the features of Ukraine’s European integration progress in various areas.
