ЕВОЛЮЦІЯ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ВДОСКОНАЛЕННЯ ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ ОСВІТИ В ГАЛУЗІ ФІЗИЧНОЇ КУЛЬТУРИ ТА СПОРТУ В УКРАЇНІ

In Ukraine, the process of integrating the achievements of other European countries in the field of physical culture and sports into the educational process of higher education institutions continues. Special attention is focused on the training of specialists for this field. The construction of a modern system of professional physical education is based not only on the leading achievements of other countries, but also on the best domestic achievements in the field of physical culture and sports. To ensure a high level of readiness of graduates of physical education institutions, it is important to take into account the current needs of the labor market. It is the needs of the market that dictate the list of competencies that a graduate must possess in order to be competitive. The fullness and variability of educational programs for professional training of future specialists in the field of physical culture and sports should take into account the relevant requirements of the modern labor market, as well as be consistent with the requirements of the national qualifications framework. To build an effective system of higher education in the field of physical culture and sports, it is important to know and understand the process of formation of the national system of professional education and to consider the miscalculations made in previous years. Such an analysis allows building a new powerful educational platform for the training of future specialists in the field of physical culture and sports and avoiding possible mistakes, preserving, and multiplying national traditions and values in this field. The article presents the results of a retrospective analysis of the formation of domestic professional education in the field of physical culture and sports, practical experience, and the authors' point of view regarding the ways of preserving professionalization in education. The basis of training is the chosen sport, the character of the students' educational activity is changing. Preservation of the unity of the educational environment of professional education in the field of physical culture and sports in Ukraine is possible based on the definition of a list of common general professional competencies at the bachelor's (readiness for practical-oriented activity) and master's (readiness for analytical activity based on the integration of physical fields of knowledge) education levels. Key words: training of specialists, competence-oriented approach, national traditions in professional education, profiling, specificity of training areas.

Комплексное использование различных программных сред для повышения уровня визуализации и восприятия информации

Implementation of various software tools in the educational process affects formation of students’ professional competencies. This influence should be taken into account in scientific and methodological support of the modern education system. The purpose of the article is to develop a technology for creating educational VR content that provides immersion into a virtual thematic space using a variety of different software environments and improves the effectiveness of teaching. In this article, the technology of creating an electronic course using a complex of specialized software tools is considered. The initial stage of such technology is to develop a course description that includes data and knowledge about the object or phenomenon under study. Three-dimensional models of virtual objects created in SketchUp, Blender. Solidworks, Compass-3D, etc. are used for technical objects. Then 3D models of objects and landscape are used for creating a virtual space in the Twinmotion software package. Then photorealistic panoramas, images and videos are imported from Twinmotion into 3DVista Virtual Tour Pro to create a virtual tour. At the final stage, the virtual tour is integrated into the LMS Moodle learning management system. The implementation of the technology of integrated use of specialized software tools was tested in the creation of educational content that provides immersion into a virtual thematic space on the example of the course "History of the Tambov Region", which is included in many educational programs at Tambov educational institutions. High efficiency of developed educational content is confirmed by the survey results of several groups of students and its further analysis using Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) methodology; as well as by checking learning achievements based on testing two groups of students of 12 people each. The first test group studied the discipline using the proposed electronic content, and the second one without it. The test results showed that the proportion of correct answers to test questions in the first group was 17% higher than for the students of the second group. Thus, the authors proposed the technology for development of educational content, which includes a number of specialized software tools, as well as the organization of the educational process using innovative educational means. Moreover, the use of the proposed technology allows students to develop teamwork and interpersonal communication skills by interactive lectures and group discussions.

EDUTIONMENT AS A WAY TO INCREASE STUDENTS 'MOTIVATION IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDIES


 Taking into account the contradictory views on edutainment, the prospects of modern educational methods were considered, theoretical and practical substantiation of opinions was made, considerable attention was paid to the specifics of the target audience Generation Z, which is motivated to implement edutainment in the educational process. One of the key features of Generation Z is the naturalness of their existence in the digital space, immersion in the world of gadgets, Internet addiction, clip thinking, inability to focus on one object for a long time, fragmentation and inconsistency of their knowledge. The existing problem of inefficient academic success in the training of Generation Z members by increasing motivation can be solved by a modern educational system. The essence of the hybrid term education + entertainment is a systematic combination of education and entertainment. Entertainment of such education consists in curiosity and expressiveness of the form, in such education the educational component is included in the entertaining mode of the presented information. The purpose of such education is to deliver both knowledge and aesthetic pleasure. Edutainment is dynamic, flexible, practical, accessible, helps to meet the information and cognitive needs of the students. Edutainment has been the subject of numerous studies and sparks discussions about the appropriateness of the entertainment component in the educational process. However, modern practice shows the effectiveness of the basic provisions of edutainment, the tools of which include gaming, communication, creative, computer (information) technology, problem-based learning technology and others. Based on the purpose of the work – to determine the effectiveness of the introduction of edutainment in the educational process to increase the motivation of Generation Z – analyzed the requirements for teachers who work in the system and the principles of edutainment, the necessary educational conditions, experience in implementing edutainment on practice.

Ancient Indian Education: It's Relevance and Importance in the Modern Education System

Ancient Indian Education: It's Relevance and Importance in the Modern Education System

Ancient Indian Education: It’s Relevance and Importance in the Modern Education System

Purpose: India has a rich tradition of education and learning right from ancient times and especially during the Renaissance period, the Golden Age of Indian Culture. The major three achievements in education, during this period were the decimal system, the great Sanskrit epics, and the contribution to the sciences of astronomy, mathematics, and metallurgy. The four Vedas, i.e., the Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and the Atharvaveda were configured through ideals, practices, and conducts. The doctrine of action (Karma) occupies a very significant place in the Indian system of education and has evolved during the transition from ancient to modern education. Two methods of teaching were being practiced during the Vedic period. First, the verbal/oral method, and the second based on thinking (Chintan). Current higher education has shown trends of multidisciplinary approaches along similar lines. NEP 2020 also suggests a multidisciplinary approach. Bloom’s Taxonomy defines three domains of learning, cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. The ancient education system is also based on the three domains, to develop higher-order learning by building up the lower-level cognitive skills. Approach: The exploratory study based on secondary published research articles on the education system in India, seeks to interpret extant academic research on the relevance of the ancient education system in modern multidisciplinary education. Findings: The literature analysis emphasizes that ancient learning systems based on Vedas included many yogic practices. In general, to calm the mind and improve learning, asanas, chanting of mantras, and meditation were done. The same practices are emphasized by HEI, guided by UGC and AICTE. Universal Human value (UHV) has been implemented for all-around personality development and practice of an integrated approach in Yoga. Modern methods to develop memory include the logical method, spaced learning, and rational memory. All of these are derived from the ancient way of teaching and learning. Using the ABCD listing methodology this paper explores the advantages, benefits, constraints, and disadvantages of the modern education system, both from learners’ viewpoint and teachers’ viewpoint. Type of Paper: Exploratory Research.

The effectiveness of systematic physical activity in the applicants of the institutions of the higher education

The modern system of education in the higher education institutions places high demands on both learning activities and the physical, somatic and mental health of the applicants. Today the applicants of the institutions of the higher education are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, decreased physical fitness and performance. The main means of improving health and restoring working capacity in this contingent is physical activity. However, the intensification of the educational process leads to a decrease in the amount of physical activity among students, which negatively affects their physical condition.
 The article reveals the effectiveness of the use of systematic physical activity in the applicants of the institutions of the higher education.
 It has been established that systematic physical activity has a positive effect on mental and physical health; it helps to improve blood circulation, metabolism, functional state of the cardiovascular, respiratory and other systems, joint mobility, spinal column, intellectual activity, coordinated work of all internal organs and systems, prevention of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, osteoporosis and some forms of cancer, and complex treatment of certain chronic conditions, intensive elimination of metabolic products and toxins from the body, activation of the neuromuscular system, improvement of physical development, increase in physical fitness, mental and physical performance, resistance to adverse environmental conditions; is a prerequisite for the harmonious development of the individual; plays an important role in improving the quality of life, because it has a positive impact on health, contributes to an increase in material income, and raises the level of education in the applicants of the institutions of the higher education.

SOCIAL AND PEDAGOGICAL SUPPORT OF CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS IN THE CONDITIONS OF INCLUSIVE EDUCATION

The article deals with the theoretical foundations of socio-pedagogical support of children with limited functional capabilities in the conditions of inclusive education. The concept of inclusive education, support, social support, socio-pedagogical support is analyzed. The main categories of children with special needs who need socio-pedagogical support in the conditions of inclusive educational institutions are highlighted. It has been proven that inclusive education as a modern educational system requires the creation of appropriate conditions and the development of a system of socio-pedagogical support for children with special educational needs.
 The rules of socio-pedagogical support of children with limited functional capabilities in the conditions of inclusive education have been formulated. Special attention is paid to the description of the features of socio-pedagogical support of educational activities of children with intellectual disabilities, with autism, cerebral palsy, visual and hearing impairments. It was noted that the forced stay in the institutions of the special educational system violates basic human rights and freedoms, however, with improper organization of inclusive education, the inability of children with special educational needs to adapt successfully to the existing conditions of educational institutions leads to their social exclusion and marginalization. They do not even receive the help and services that they would receive in the special educational system.
 The need to take into account the educational difficulties of the main categories of children enrolled in inclusive education and determine the level of their support is emphasized. The main difficulties of certain categories of children with different nosologies in the conditions of inclusive education are described, the consideration of which will contribute to increasing the effectiveness of the organization of education in the inclusive class. The legislative basis for the organization of inclusive education and the creation of a socio-pedagogical support team has been analyzed. It was concluded that the effectiveness of the educational process in an inclusive educational institution depends on the productive interaction of the teacher, the teacher's assistant, and the child's assistant.
 Further research into the problem of socio-pedagogical support of certain categories of children with special needs in the conditions of inclusive education will be aimed at identifying an effective interaction mechanism of all members of the socio-pedagogical support team. There is a need to specify the description of interaction mechanisms and the distribution of functional responsibilities for different nosologies, special educational difficulties and different levels of socio-pedagogical support.

Cai Yuanpei’s Knowledge Taxonomy and the Divide Between Science and Metaphysics in Modern China

Cai Yuanpei was a renowned 20th century Chinese educator. He is best known for his role as the chancellor of Peking University and his belief in “inclusiveness and tolerance (jianrong bingbao).” This essay examines Cai Yuanpei’s knowledge taxonomy both in his early 20th century writings and in his academic policies as Chancellor of National Peking University (1917–1923). As chancellor, Cai made a conscious effort to recruit faculty members who aimed to bring about revolutionary changes to Chinese culture. While his original vision was to integrate scientific methodologies with the intuitive philosophies of xuanxue (玄学), the dominant trend in Chinese scholarship became heavily focused on science. This essay delves into Cai’s exposure to Japanese intellectual influences around 1900, and how it influenced Cai’s initial knowledge taxonomy and its connection to Cai’s definition of science disciplines in modern Chinese education. Cai’s view toward science and philosophy evolved from an emphasis on a continuum between the two in the early 1900s to their separation, as science gained momentum and philosophy became increasingly subordinate to science. The essay shows how Cai’s efforts to create a modern educational system in China where science would be balanced with intuitive learning played out to a predominance of science in Chinese learning.

Pedagogue’s psychological health as a factor of professional longevity

Introduction. The relevance of studying the problem of pedagogue’s professional longevity is accounted for by the need of the modern educational system in efficient and experienced teachers. Among the factors influencing the duration of professional activity, psychological health and its components are significant. The identified risks of psycho-emotional state, self-regulation of behaviour, self-perception and interpersonal interaction actualise the phenomenon of “professional longevity” and form the basis of psychological health. The purpose of the study is to reveal the correlation between the pedagogue’s psychological health and professional longevity. Research methodology and techniques. The theoretical basis of the research is represented by the ideas and concepts focused on the psychological component of general health as well as the notions of psychological health and factors influencing it. To investigate the relationship between psychological health and professional longevity, a group of testees was formed according to age category, with regard for their pedagogical experience. A total of 200 teachers from general educational organisations of Voronezh Region (Russian Federation) took part in the empirical survey. The selected techniques included: Psychological health diagnostics after A.V. Kozlova; “Self-regulation behaviour style”; research of self-esteem according to S.R. Pantileev. Spearman’s rank correlation method was used for statistical processing of the results. Results. The survey results analysis revealed the impact of psychological health indicators on the length of pedagogical activity. The interrelation between the pedagogues’ general self-regulation level and psychological health has been confirmed; in addition, some of self-attitude characteristics correlate with the indicators of psychological health (p < 0,05). A high level of psychological health was revealed in 36% of the pedagogues having 10 to 25 years of professional experience. The low level of psychological health was recorded in pedagogues with longer service record (over 35 years). It was revealed that pedagogues with 10 to 25 years of experience paid much attention to the strategic, pro-social, creative and intellectual “vectors”. The overall level of self-regulation is the highest (over 70%) in the pedagogues with 10 to 25 and 25 to 35 years of experience. Conclusion. The level of identified psychological health characteristics is determined by pedagogical experience. This consideration should be taken into account, when working with older-age pedagogues, by creating due conditions for maintaining a properly high level of psychological health. Keywords: pegagogical profession, teaching experience, pedagogue’s professional longevity, psychological health, self-attitude, self-regulation, professionalism, modern education

Research on the influence of modern educational technology on the students’ cognitive competence formation

Introduction. This paper studies the formation of students’ cognitive ability in modern conditions, which is related to identifying the components within the structure of cognitive competence and identifying factors determining development. The purpose of this research is to assess the level of students’ cognitive competence and to reveal efficient educational technologies contributing to their formation. Materials and Methods. Research methods include literature analysis, generalization and comparative analysis, and the rank correlation method. The sample included 93 students aged between 15 and 24 years from Tobolsk secondary schools, vocational schools and universities. In the diagnostic part of the study, the psychosocial tests and questionnaires by E. E. Tunik, T. D. Dubovitskaya, A. V. Karpov, A. V. Pashkevich and O. V. Gordeeeva were used. The structure of cognitive competence were measured using socio-psychological scales: 6 subtests by R. Amthauer, conceptual thinking scales as well as through the expert teachers assessment of students’ learning and cognitive competencies. Mathematical statistical methods were used to process the results obtained. Results. The study reveals key components within the structure of cognitive competence: analytical and conceptual thinking; informational, motivational, and learning cognitive competencies; and students’ personal qualities (curiosity, independent judgment, resourcefulness, creativity, reflection, self-control, responsibility). The author identified leading teaching interventions that contribute to increasing interest in learning, the assimilation of knowledge and the independence of cognitive activities. They include immersive and innovative educational technologies. Moreover, the author substantiated the effectiveness of using traditional educational forms in teaching and learning process, which determine the formation of basic components of cognitive competence, associated with the conceptual and analytical thinking. Low academic motivation index affects the formation level of students’ overall cognitive ability. Conclusions. Within the framework of the competency-based approach, the formation of cognitive competence is the basis for the development of students’ key competencies within different stages of modern educational system. In order to evaluate students’ cognitive competence, it is advisable to single out its components and determine tools for their measurement. Based on the correlation study of applied educational technologies with the structural components of students’ cognitive competencies, it is necessary to single out the most efficient educational means of their formation.

The Anthropological Approach to Education and Modern Training and Learning Methodology

The paper deals with the anthropological approach to education in particular to teaching theory through the prism of the correlation between the mentioned approach and modern teaching and learning methodology. The purpose is to establish and trace the correlation between anthropological approach to education and modern teaching and learning methodology 
 The tasks are: to find out the essence of the anthropology in relation to pedagogy; to reveal and describe teaching and learning models based on anthropological approach to teaching theory; to figure out effective instruction methods, which can be applied within the designated teaching and learning models. The methods of the investigation are analysis and syntheses of the related scientific materials aimed at collecting and presenting the results as well as drawing the conclusion. 
 The results revealed three different understandings of the essence of the studied phenomenon, one of which (as a methodological core and a modern paradigm of the complex of pedagogical sciences with practical orientation of education to the person as its main goal and value) is associated with our investigation. Among the correspondent teaching and learning models we revealed and described personality-oriented learning model, student-centered learning model and a model based on individual approach to teaching. A number of effective instruction methods (as: problem-based learning, case study, inquiry-based learning, discovery-based learning, role playing game, game learning, different forms of dialogic learning, team learning and others) was figured out. 
 The conclusion is that in modern educational system anthropological approach is one of the central as knowledge about human, his nature and the laws of his development allows designing the educational process.

Pedagogical Problems of Forming the Basis of a Healthy Lifestyle for Children in Physical Education Lessons

This article discusses issues directly related to the pedagogical problems of forming the foundations of a healthy lifestyle for children in physical education classes. It also provides examples and statements of many scientists and researchers on the issues and problems of a healthy lifestyle at all stages of life, and especially from an early age, which is one of the topical issues of maintaining health and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. According to the author, one of the main reasons for the emergence of the state of physical health of students is the decline in the role of a healthy lifestyle in the formation of physical, spiritual, and mental health, education of the student’s personality. A detailed definition of the term “health” is given. The author also believes that the most important task of the modern educational system is the development of the student’s personality, where the main attention is focused on the study of information about health, a healthy lifestyle and improving human living conditions. As a rule, the contradictory phenomenon of an individual consists of a philosophical unity, inherent contradictions between the natural and human principles, biological and social, material and spiritual, personal and social, etc. A person is the subject of study of the prevailing sciences, and his health is an archaic issue in a rapidly changing environment, a large degree of psychological and emotional influences. Human health is a measure of a person's manifestation in the unity of physical, mental, labor, defense physical culture and health-improving functions, allowing him to more fully participate in a multifaceted life, successfully adapt to socio-cultural and natural conditions.

З історії суднобудування: «одеський» період діяльності професора Чарльза Кларка

The purpose of the study is to conduct a comprehensive study of the biography of Ch. Clark in the “Odesa” period of his life at the pedagogical and scientifi c levels. Th e research methodology is based on the principles of concrete-historical approach or historical method, ob- jectivity, comprehensiveness and integrity, consistency, and on the usage of the given me thods: analysis and synthesis, historical-genetic, comparative-historical, historical-typological, and problem-chronological. Th e scientifi c no velty of it is that for the fi rst time in historiography, the role of Professor Ch. Clark in the creation and formation of the methodical-pedagogical and scien- tifi c-technical base of higher polytechnic education in Odesa, as one of the leading educational and scientifi c centers of Ukraine, is comprehensively presented. Conclusions. Ch. Clark made a signifi cant contribution to the organization and institutionalization of the Odesa Polytechnic Institute, in particular to the development of shipbuilding in Odesa and in Ukraine in general. Th e article is devoted to the analysis of the «Odesa» period of life of the well-known European spe- cialist in the fi eld of shipbuilding, design engineer, researcher of heat engineering, hydraulics and hydraulic engines – Ch. Clark. Reconstruction of this period of the scientist’s life allows to estab- lish the factors that infl uenced the changes in his life and moving to Odesa, to analyz e the main directions of his activity, which became part of the content and specifi cs o f the formation and development of higher shipbuilding education in Ukraine. Th e factual understanding of the main directions of life of the theorist and the practice of shipbuilding against the background of histori- cal events and phenomena will allow to fi nd out about his place and role as a person in history. Th e «Odesa» period of Ch. Clark’s life, his scientifi c and pedagogical aspects of activity still remain unexplored, so wit hout a doubt, deserve a special scientifi c study that will demonstrate the cont- ribution of this extraordinary person to the development of educational and scientifi c processes in the technical fi eld. Ukraine. Based on the biographical method of analysis, the creative path o f the founder of higher shipbuilding education in the South of Ukraine is considered. Th e appea- rance of Ch. Clark in Odesa contributed to the penetration into the academic environment of the technical fi eld of knowledge of the traditions of Western European education and science, which generated the popularization and intensifi cation of scientifi c and technological progress. In his new place, the scientist became an authoritative specialist in the process of formation and evolu- tion of many areas of the technical fi eld of science, which became the driving force in creating their theoretical and methodological basis. Using a wide range of methods of historical research and on the basis of archival sources, the factors of development of higher polytechnic education in Odesa, the formation of scientifi c schools in the fi eld of shipbuilding and other areas of technical science are identifi ed. Th e signifi cant and invaluable contribution of Clark to the motivation and actualization of the development of higher education and research in the fi eld of shipbuilding in the coming years is pointed out. Th e emergence of a higher polytechnic education institution in the south of Ukraine, which trained highly qualifi ed technical personnel, in particular in the fi eld of shipbuilding, generally contributed to the modernization of the Ukrainian higher polytechnic education system and the formation of one of the leading centers of scientifi c and technical intel- ligentsia. methodological principles and practical experience of technical science.
