Эмпирическое сравнение становления субъектности студентов среднего профессионального образования в академических и практических условиях их обучения

Practical training of students in the system of secondary vocational education (SVE) is the most important condition for the development of their ability to be the subjects of the future profession and, accordingly, masters of their craft. The personal agency development is considered within the framework of an eco-psychological approach. The objective of the study is to compare the impact of academic and practical training on the students’ personal agency development in vocational training programmes. The research hypothesizes that practical training of students contributes to the development of cognitive and regulatory abilities to a greater extent than academic training. This, in turn, increases the effectiveness of the students’ personal agency development stages in their mastering of the professional activity. The study was conducted on a sample of two experimental and two control students’ groups (N = 77, 3rd-year students of technical orientation, M = 18.4, Sd = 0.8) by means of the diagnostic techniques: the questionnaire on the personal agency development stagesОСС-С4 (A.V. Kaptsov, E. I. Kolesnikova, V. I. Panov), the questionnaire on methods of performing educational actionsОСС-СФ3 (A. V. Kaptsov, E. I. Kolesnikova), the questionnaire on the style of behavior self-regulationССП-М(V. I. Morosanova) and the methodology of life-meaning orientationsСЖО(D. A. Leontiev). It has been revealed that during the academic training, ratios of manifestation of students’ personal agency development stages in secondary vocational education have no statistically significant differences. It has been found out that practical training and academic training have different predictors of the personal agency development stages that depend on the specialty the students are majoring in. The research shows that in the conditions of practical training the students’ groups are divided into two unequal informal micro groups depending on the predominance of their eco-psychological subject-joint interaction type. Moreover, the success of the development of the “Student” stage has predictors in the form of the stage manifestation ratio, and manifestation of the conscious self-regulation components and life-meaning orientations. The significance of the results obtained lies in the positive impact of practical training on the personal agency development in students of vocational training programmes.

THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT AND ITS IDEOLOGY: THE BEGINNING OF THE ERA OF SOCIAL MANIPULATION

This article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the influence of the era and the ideology of the Enlightenment on the vital activity of the Western European great culture and the modern world. From a conservative position, within the framework of a civilizational approach, the author considers the regularity of their formation in the process of development of the Western European great culture, and also analyzes the consequences that they had, both for Western European culture and for all mankind as a whole, especially for the scientific sphere of life. The Age of Enlightenment, according to the author, was associated with active penetration into science, into the educational system of the ideology of the Enlight-enment, and, accordingly, the introduction of various manipulative techniques and practices into them. Naturally, this circumstance had the most negative impact on the quality and objectivity of assessments of various kinds of state-legal, socio-political and historical phenomena and processes, naturally plunging these branches of knowledge into a severe crisis state. The excessive ideologization of modern social sciences and the humanities, including the ideologemes of the Enlightenment (as well as the ideologemes of Marxism and neoliberalism growing from them), make this issue an extremely relevant area of modern sociological research, and overcoming these negative consequences of this era and its ideology is a challenge for modern scientific thought, systems of secondary and higher education, as well as the subsequent successful development of modern Russian society and the state. The author of the article makes a special emphasis on the analysis of the key provisions of the ideology of the Enlightenment, as well as the results of the propaganda of the ideology of the Enlightenment, which marked the beginning of the era of manipulation and the active implementation of large-scale social manipulative projects in relation to significant human communities, entire cultural regions, its special role in the implementation of the Great French Revolution and the formation anti-systemic mindset.

Of particular interest is the almost panicked reaction of the higher educational leadership to the events in Lesser Poland and Galicia in February-March 1846. Against this background, an interesting documentary example of a kind of the noble liberalism is the actual demand from the governor-general to the director of the Gymnasium, transmitted in an offi cial manner through the trustee of the Kyiv educational district, to reinstate in it the fi fth-grade student Juseph Rolle, who was expelled for writing the revolutionary slogan «Vive la liberté» on the blackboard.

The article examines modern approaches to remote teaching of physical culture in the American education system and the introduction of interactive technologies into the educational process. Advanced pedagogical experience in the organization of physical education of young people is revealed on the example of American educational institutions. Currently, the relevance of electronic education of students of higher education institutions with the use of distance educational technologies is being popularized.

The Moodle distance learning platform in US educational institutions offers a structured learning plan, quizzes, glossaries, forums, chat rooms, databases, online surveys, creative tasks, exercises, projects and more. The US Sports Academy offers courses that allow distance learning and obtaining the necessary material for both bachelors and masters of sports sciences, as well as doctors of pedagogical sciences.

The experience of using modern distance learning technologies for teaching physical culture in the US education system points to the fact that modern technological trends are radically changing the perception of education. Further research related to the transformation of the positive experience of teaching physical education in the distance education system in the USA in the realities of the education system of Ukraine is promising.

Transformational Leadership Style and Teacher Job Satisfaction in Shanghai, China

Education has a critical role in supporting the growth of the knowledge, abilities, attitudes, and values that allow individuals to contribute to and benefit from a sustainable and inclusive future. In the coming years, it will be essential to be able to develop clear and purposeful objectives, interact with persons who have multiple points of view, unearth unrealized opportunities, and discover a variety of solutions to difficult problems. Consequently, it is essential that leaders at all levels play a significant role if the nation is to achieve its stated aim. This study highlights the significance of transformational leadership styles among China's secondary school leaders and administrators. This study suggested a methodology for measuring the significance of four leadership dimensions, namely charismatic leadership, individual consideration, intellectual stimulation, and inspirational leadership, in relation to the transformational leadership style. In addition, the study investigates the effect of transformational leadership methods on job satisfaction. By analyzing the links between the numerous variables and employing the Style theory, this proposed framework would be able to assess China's secondary education system and its performance. Notably, this framework can be utilized as a comprehensive technique for assessing school system performance and addressing education problems and issues, and it is essential for constructing the blueprint for China's educational pathway.
