Peculiar features in forming gifted adolescents’ self-attitude to the inner and outer “I” as a condition for their self-fulfillment

Introduction. The article presents the survey results, revealing the peculiarities of forming self-attitude to the inner and outer “I” by talented young people. The purpose of the article is to define the nature of talented young people’s self-attitude to the inner and outer “I” and its influence on self-fulfillment. Materials and Methods. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is the reflexive-compensatory approach. The method involves young people evaluating themselves, identifying their problems and building a program of remedial work with a teacher, which is aimed at creating conditions for successful socialization and self-development. The main methods are reviewing scholarly literature on the research problem, interviewing and testing Education students (n= 239). Results. The authors have revealed the specific features in forming self-attitude to the inner and outer "I" in talented youth. Most of the participants demonstrate excessive demands on themselves; focus on others and on the opinions of other people. At the same time, talented young people demonstrate a high level of “self-leadership” (60 %), “self-acceptance” (60 %), “self-blame” (56 %), “fairly high level of self-evaluating” (45 %), which indicates a positive perception of themselves. They have an average level of conflict. The participants are aware of their personal importance, their success and achievements, and their willingness to improve themselves is noted. They demonstrate a high level of perfectionism and are critical of their own failures. Conclusions. The study concludes that talented young people generally perceive themselves and their opportunities positively, strive for life and personal success. They are not quarrelsome. But they are not eager to be leaders with high potentials. A high level of perfectionism and criticism is accompanied by a feeling of anxiety and prevents skills of self-presentation to appear.

Interregional Migration in the Russian Far East and its Impact on Demographic Security

In this paper, we address the issues of demographic development of the regions of the Russian Far East and the impact of interregional migration on the size and demographic structure of the population. The study is based on official data published by Rosstat. At the level of the Far Eastern Federal District as a whole, the demographic dynamics are characterized by negative trends that have developed against the background of depopulation, as well as migration outflow to other regions of the country and abroad. However, at the level of individual subjects, the situation is differentiated. According to the results of 2023, the population of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug increased due to natural and migration growth; in Kamchatka Krai, population growth was ensured by the excess of natural increase over migration outflow. At the same time, in other subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District, the population decreased both under the influence of natural decline and migration outflow. Migration outflow to other regions of the country is becoming one of the significant barriers to the demographic development of the Russian Far East: it is in interregional exchange that the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District lose qualified specialists and talented youth. Therefore, maintaining current directions of interregional migration in the Far East can lead to a distortion of the demographic structure of the population, faster aging of the population, as well as a decrease in the demographic potential, which poses threats to demographic security. We conclude that measures of demographic and migration policy in relation to Far Eastern subjects should be targeted and aimed, first, at ensuring a higher quality and standard of living for the local population.

Ukrainian students on the global map of academic migration

Considering the loss of talented youth in Ukraine caused by migration, there is a growing need to investigate how to attract and retain students. The study aims to identify the peculiarities of Ukrainian student migration against the background of global patterns of academic migration, focusing on factors of countries’ attractiveness for the students. The typology of countries by the level of inbound and outbound academic migration is developed based on variation analysis. The correlation analysis is used to identify the factors that influence countries’ attractiveness to students. The analysis of educational policies of the most attractive countries for Ukrainian students is fulfilled using the contextual analysis of legislative norms on academic mobility. In the global dimension, the variation of both inbound and outbound academic mobility is closely related to a country’s economic level, measured by GNI per capita. However, the correlation analysis did not confirm the higher migration attractiveness of countries with a high level of economic development (correlation with GNI per capita is –0.147). The impact of employment and social and economic resilience of an economy was relatively significant, with the correlation coefficients of 0.426 and 0.371. The analysis of educational policies of host countries showed the active use of language integration tools, the combined use of financial mechanisms, and the involvement of universities in career development. Implementation of the best practices of educational management in Ukraine is critical for restoring demographic and intellectual capital. AcknowledgmentThis study is funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine under the project “Higher education in the conditions of war and post-war recovery: Determinants of development to overcome threats to the restoring of human capital” (State registration number 0124U000351).

Physical fitness as a factor in the effectiveness of the competitive activity of 17-18-year-old football players during the transition to professional teams

The need to demonstrate high results, on which a coach's career depends, forces the latter to practically ignore the psychophysiological features of the body of athletes aged 17-21 during the educational and training process and measures to restore players after exertion. As a result, the demands of professional football for most of the talented youth become excessive, which leads to overfatigue and a high level of injuries. The most rational approach to solving the problem of training football players during the transition to professional teams should be based on a systematic training methodology that will ensure effective development of sportsmanship, systematic growth of functional capabilities and their proper implementation. It should be noted that the indicators of physical and technical fitness of football players after graduating from the children's and youth football school do not meet the requirements of professional football. The article is devoted to solving the problem of the effectiveness of the competitive activity of 17-18-year-old football players during the transition to professional teams. The work revealed that the age range from 17 to 21 years falls on the period of an athlete's life, when the formation of all functional systems, which ensure high performance and immunity of the body against adverse factors that appear during intense training, is basically completed. It was noted that the physical and technical fitness indicators of football players after graduating from the children's and youth football school do not meet the requirements of professional football. The peculiarities of physical fitness in relation to the effective competitive activity of 17-18-year-old football players at the stage of specialized basic training were analyzed. The data of the study served as indicators of the players' physical fitness. As a result of the conducted correlational analysis of the physical fitness of young football players aged 17-18 years, an average and low value of the relationship was determined, which implies a fairly close relationship between the level of physical fitness and almost all indicators of the sportsmen's motor qualities, except for the indicator that characterizes the starting speed. It has been confirmed that the preparedness of athletes in football depends on their functional indicators, which, in turn, determine the effectiveness of certain tactical and technical actions.

Інститут професор- ських стипендіатів як форма підготовки науково-педагогічних кадрів в універ- ситетах України у 1917-1920 рр.

The purpose of this article is to investigate the key aspects of training professorial scholars in state universities of Ukraine during 1917–1920, based on archival sources, scientific works, and periodical materials. The methodological foundation of the study includes general scientific principles of historicism, objectivity, comprehensiveness, integrity, systematicity, reliability, and criticality, along with interdisciplinary quantitative-analytical and statistical methods. The scientific novelty lies in focusing on the study of the institute of professorial scholarship as an important segment of university activity, a function that has not yet been thoroughly examined in the context of the Ukrainian Revolution of 1917–1920. Additionally, the article introduces and analyzes a range of little-known archival materials into the scientific discourse. Conclusions. In the years 1917–1920, a well-tested and generally effective classical organization for training academic staff through the institute of professorial scholarship was maintained in the established universities St. Volodymyr, Novorossiysky, and Kharkiv as well as in the new Ukrainian state universities – Kyiv and Kamianets-Podilskyi. According to our calculations, during this period, a total of at least 170 individuals were preparing for professorial titles across the faculties of these institutions, with the humanities as the primary field of academic preparation. The majority of scholarship holders were young men under the age of 30. Despite the traditional prevalent gender inequality, a trend toward eliminating gender restrictions was evident, with cases of female graduates from higher women's educational institutions and European universities being accepted as scholarship recipients. The funding for these scholarships was predominantly provided by the state, with university funds used only in exceptional cases. In their commitment to developing national academic and pedagogical staff, Ukrainian governments took measures to admit talented Ukrainian-speaking youth as professorial scholars in both classical and newly established universities, offering them increased scholarships and opportunities for internships abroad.

‘Goalkeepers are players too’: key attributes coaches’ look for in talented youth soccer goalkeepers

ObjectiveCurrently, there is a gap in knowledge on what the key goalkeeper attributes are during talent identification and selection in soccer. Hence, the objective was to investigate South African coaches’ perceptions regarding key attributes of talented youth soccer goalkeepers.DesignCross-sectional survey.MethodsA total of 173 soccer coaches (130 men and 43 women; Mage = 36.6 ± 10.4 years; Mcoaching experience = 8.4 ± 7.3 years) were purposively recruited to participate in the study. All of the participants completed the Talent Identification Questionnaire in Soccer – Goalkeepers (TIDQS-GK).ResultsThe six-component solution identified by the principal component analysis accounted for 68.96% of the total variance. Coaches deemed psychological (e.g. concentration, bravery, self-discipline), physical (e.g. speed, flexibility), social (e.g. coachability, communication), technical (e.g. catching the ball, first touch), tactical (e.g. defensive organisation against set plays) and perceptual-cognitive skills (e.g. decision-making) as important factors in identifying talented goalkeepers.ConclusionsThe study offers new insights into the key attributes that soccer coaches look for in talented goalkeepers such as concentration, bravery, speed, coachability and decision-making and could direct coaches towards more objective evaluation strategies for informing their decisions.

Multidimensional performance characteristics of talented youth judoka: Dynamic balance and coping skills relate to international competitive performance

Understanding of the multidimensional performance characteristics (MPCs) that underlie performance and distinguish athletes of varying performance levels are key for talent development programs. However, in the Olympic combat sport of judo, including MPCs in talent development research is still a recent approach. Hence, little is known about the MPCs of talented youth judoka. Therefore, this study aimed to determine differences in MPCs of talented youth (U18) judoka with varying levels of success in international competition, specified by sex and corrected for body weight. Fifty-two international level judoka (males: n = 28, age: 16.7 ± 0.9 and females: n = 24, age: 16.3 ± 0.9) participated. Multiple linear regressions were performed with performance level as the dependent variable. Performance level was defined as the win rate at international competitions in one competitive season. Anthropometrical (e.g., body height), physiological (e.g., dynamic balance), and psychological (e.g., coping skills) characteristics were used as independent variables. Results showed that win rate of females positively relates to dynamic balance and coping with adversity, and negatively relates to goal setting and mental preparation ( R2 = .611, p < .001). Peaking under pressure positively relates to the win rate of males ( R2 = .152, p < .05). The extent to which MPCs explain competition performance differs between sexes. However, for both sexes, coping skills seem to be important. Therefore, it is recommended that psychological characteristics are integrated in talent programs of youth judoka next to the judo-specific, physiological and/or technical-tactical trainings whilst taking in consideration the individual differences.

Relation of general-perceptual cognitive abilities and sport-specific performance of young competitive soccer players.

In soccer, skill is significantly influenced by motor skills and physical constitution. In addition, perceptual-cognitive abilities are thought to affect sport-specific performance. Nevertheless, there are hardly any studies investigating the relationship of general cognitive abilities with sport-specific performance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze relationships between general perceptual-cognitive abilities and soccer-specific performance in competitive youth sports. Thirty highly talented male youth soccer players aged 12-14years completed various perceptual-cognitive (selective attention, cognitive flexibility, inhibition, working memory, peripheral perception, and choice response) and sport-specific on-field tests. Cognitive abilities were assessed using a computer-based test system. Soccer-specific performance skills were evaluated by two sport-specific on-field tests. The relation between perceptual-cognitive abilities and soccer-specific performance was examined using a correlation analysis as well as a four-stage regression analysis. Overall, the expression of general perceptual-cognitive abilities was found to have an impact on performance in soccer-specific test situations, particularly cognitive flexibility and selective attention. Our results suggest that general cognitive tests could be an important tool for the evaluation of cognitive abilities in soccer. This study brings together key approaches in expertise research and makes a significant contribution to a better understanding of expertise in soccer.

APPROACHES TO MEASURING THE CREATIVE ECONOMY AND TRENDS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE IT SECTOR: THE IMPACT OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES ON CREATIVE INDUSTRIES

Today, the creative economy is often referred to a the new oil. According to UN estimates, creative industries generate around 30 million jobs annually, contributing $2.25 trillion to the global GDP. Projections indicate that by 2030, the global creative industry's turnover will increase by an additional 40%. This sector creates high-income jobs, especially for talented youth. In Kazakhstan, investments in the creative industry have increased more than fourfold over the past decade. Currently, 3.5% of the country's total employed population, or 310 thousand people, work in this sector, contributing 2.7% to the economy. To unlock this sector's potential, the government is developing the Concept for the Development of Creative Industries for 2021-2025, establishing a unified vision for growth. The concept of creative industries varies across countries, lacking a universally accepted definition. Reports like Australia's "Creative Nation" (1994) and the UK's "Creative Industries Mapping Document" (1998) have significantly influenced global perspectives. The UN recommends a classification into four aggregated blocks, but terminology differs across organizations, with UNESCO using "creative industries" and the EU referring to "cultural and creative industries." Creative industries encompass sectors built on creativity, intellectual property, and technology. Definitions differ, but common sectors include design, art, fashion, and more. Measuring the creative economy involves various approaches, such as industry assessment, employment analysis, and trade in creative goods and services. The "creative trident" concept evaluates employment in specialists, supporting roles, and integrated positions.

РАЗРАБОТКА БАЗОВЫХ ПОДХОДОВ К ПРИВЛЕЧЕНИЮ И УДЕРЖАНИЮ КАДРОВ В ГОРОДАХ НАУКИ И ВЫСОКИХ ТЕХНОЛОГИЙ

In modern Russia, the problem of technological sovereignty and import substitution of high-tech products is acute. To solve the problems set by the Russian government, it is necessary to launch the production of a wide range of high-tech products as soon as possible. The implementation of the plans is impossible without solving the key tasks of introducing modern technological equipment and increasing human resources. At the moment, a prompt solution to these problems is required, and the previously developed and adopted territorial development strategies assume a long-term perspective. The main scientific organizations and high-tech businesses are located in large regional centers, as well as in small towns with high scientific and technological potential. In large regional centers, a scientific and technological ecosystem has historically been formed, allowing for the creation of conditions for the development of high technologies and scientific research. The situation is more complex in small core cities with pronounced scientific and technological specialization in centers of scientific and technological leadership. At the present stage, the main problem in the development of such cities is attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel. It is necessary to take into account the fact that attracting and retaining specialists are two related processes, but different in essence. The first is characterized by the migration activity of the population, the second - by satisfaction with living in the territory and working conditions. Most often, the factors influencing these processes have common directions, but differ from each other in their characteristics and content. When deciding on a place of work, a specialist evaluates the proposed conditions that are related to his expectations. When retaining specialists, realities are compared with the expectations that were when hired. If they do not comply, the specialist leaves the place of work. In this regard, it is important for the management of the territory and organizations to minimize the differences between expectations and the actual state of the labor and urban environment in order to retain high-level specialists. The work examines the main factors influencing and allowing to solve the problems of attracting and retaining talented youth and highly professional specialists in cities with high scientific and technological potential, taking into account modern realities and requirements. Research shows that the main factor ensuring the attraction of talented youth is the availability of high wages. It is a necessary but not sufficient condition for their retention. Additional factors play an important role in retaining specialists, including modern sociocultural and comfortable urban space, which includes various aspects of the lives of specialists and their families.

Tapping into Talent: Coupling Education and Innovation Policies for Economic Growth

Abstract How do innovation and education policy affect individual career choices and aggregate productivity? This paper analyses the effect of R&D subsidies and higher education policy on productivity growth through the supply of innovative talent. We put scarce talent, higher education attainment, and career choice at the centre of a new endogenous growth framework with individual-level heterogeneity in talent, financial resources, and preferences. We link the model to micro-level data from Denmark on the backgrounds of who obtains a PhD and becomes an inventor and the outcomes of a set of policy interventions. We find that R&D subsidies can be strengthened when combined with higher education subsidies, which enable talented but poor youth to pursue a career in research. Education and innovation policies not only alleviate different frictions, but also impact innovation at different time horizons. Education policy is more effective in societies with higher income inequality.

Професор Олександр Комарніцький: вражаючі досягнення талановитого історика, краєзнавця, педагога (до 50-річчя від дня народження та 25-річчя педагогічної та науково-педагогічної діяльності)

Modern Ukrainian historical science and national university education periodically undergo changes in their personnel as an important condition for renewal, improvement, and progress. The reproduction of scientists takes place at the highest level every time, considering modern requirements, advanced national and world practices, and the quality of training. It is important that this process leads to the emergence of a cohort of bright, talented, generally powerful, and patriotic personalities capable of ensuring the development of national industries in accordance with world trends. Fresh scientific and teaching forces from time to time replenish their structures practically throughout Ukraine, enrich their worldview and practical activities, and receive fair recognition at the level of their collectives; that is why it is so important to know and popularize their experience to take into account in the training of the next generations of scientific and teaching personnel, which will guarantee the necessary progress. The purpose of the article is a complete and extensive biographical essay about the formation of a personality, multifaceted scientific-pedagogical, administrative and public activities of the well-known Ukrainian historian, local historian, organizer of scientific research in the section of the Faculty of Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Oleksandr Borysovych Komarnitskyi, who is an example of faithful service to Ukrainian historical science, local history, as well as the training of highly qualified pedagogical and scientific personnel for our country. The methodological basis of the research is the principles of historicism, objectivity, comprehensiveness, and systematicity. They are implemented by applying such research methods as analytical, synthetic, descriptive, chronological, biographical, synchronous, diachronic, and others. The scientific novelty of the work lies in presenting for the first time the main stages of the life and professional journey of the well-known historian, professor, and public figure O.B. Komarnitskyi, their most significant results and achievements, which are important for understanding the personality of the scientist, his role in the development of the scientific and pedagogical team of the faculty, as well as the possible consideration of this accumulated experience in the process of training the next, patriotically minded, generations of teachers, scientists, and local historians. Conclusions. The personality of the well-known scientist-historian, professor O.B. Komarnitskyi, was formed and improved over a long period of time in fairly favorable family, school, industrial, and university conditions, among which the home, school, and university upbringing, extremely positive moral and psychological climate and high-quality professional level in the workforce of Kamianets-Podilskyi Ivan Ohiienko National University. Decisive in this process was great organization, diligence, purposefulness, and perseverance of the student, and therefore of the young scientist, his mentors’ professional efforts, and the university management’s help. The impressive achievements of the scientist not only contributed immensely to various components of Ukrainian historical science, local studies, and the improvement of the practice of training national personnel but also revealed new facets of his talent, opportunities, and prospects for even greater creative self-realization, became an undeniable example for talented youth to follow.

Components of effective work with gifted youth and conditions of implementation

Relevance. The relevance of the study is determined by the urgent need of society to develop the intellectual and creative potential of young people to accelerate technological progress, find innovative solutions to global problems, overcome the consequences of the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and other challenges of our time. Purpose. The aim of the study was to analyse the theoretical foundations and practical experience of working with gifted pupils and students. Methodology. A wide range of methodological tools were used, including the comparative and historical method, the method of generalization, structural and functional analysis, comparativism, systematization, as well as a combination of reductionist and holistic approaches to comprehensively analyse the problem of improving the system of work with gifted youth. Results. The analysis reveals the evolution of views on the nature of giftedness – from narrow ideas in the early 20th century to modern, more inclusive multidimensional concepts. It is substantiated that giftedness is a complex phenomenon that encompasses cognitive, creative, motivational, emotional and personal characteristics of an individual. The basic components of an effective system for identifying and developing talent are identified and characterized, including: identification of talented students, development of individual educational trajectories, models of enrichment learning and involvement in practical project activities. The practical experience of the United States of America, Canada, and the European Union in organizing work with gifted people is studied. It is shown that North America has extensive support for the gifted, while the European Union focuses on developing the leadership potential of talented youth. Conclusions. A number of recommendations have been formulated to improve the regulatory and organizational support in this area. In particular, it is proposed to develop special legislative acts, a national strategy, professional standards, as well as to create a network of specialized educational structures and introduce innovative technologies.

Twelve Weeks of Progressive Resistance Training Positively Improves Physical Fitness and Golf Swing Performance in Talented Youth Golfers.

Shaw, J, Gould, ZI, Oliver, JL, and Lloyd, RS. Twelve weeks of progressive resistance training positively improves physical fitness and golf swing performance in talented youth golfers. J Strength Cond Res 38(6): 1103-1110, 2024-This aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 12-week resistance training program in talented junior golfers. Eighteen talented youth golfers were pair matched by maturity status and handicap, and subsequently allocated to an experimental (EXP) or control group. During the 12-week intervention, both groups continued with their normal golf practice while the EXP group also completed a progressive twice-weekly resistance training program. At baseline, subjects performed multiple trials of an isometric midthigh pull (IMTP), countermovement jump (CMJ), standing long jump, golf movement screen (GMS), and isometric plank hold. Club head speed (CHS) and carry distance for a 6-iron and driver were also measured using a commercial launch monitor. When controlled for maturity offset, there were significant ( p < 0.05) interaction effects in favor of the EXP group for absolute ( g = 1.29) and relative ( g = 2.06) peak force for the IMTP, CMJ absolute ( g = 0.73) and relative ( g = 0.66) peak power, jump height ( g = 1.05), modified reactive strength index ( g = 1.30), lateral ( g = 0.48-0.88) and horizontal jump distance ( g = 1.20), and GMS total score ( g = 1.07). Significant interaction effects were also reported in 6-iron and driver CHS and carry distance in favor of the EXP group ( p < 0.05; g = 0.41-1.64). These findings indicate that twice-weekly resistance training in combination with regular golf practice can stimulate increases in measures of strength, power, and movement competency in youth golfers, which should contribute to enhanced golf swing performance.

Developmental Trend of Talented Pupils' Performance in Orienteering - Longitudinal Research 1997-2020 in the East Bohemia Region of the Czech Republic

The paper presents the findings of a longitudinal testing of talented youth in orienteering in the Czech Republic. Young talented orienteers participate in the testing of motor skills by standardized tests. The results and conclusions of the 3 km and 5 km cross-country running measurements (according to age category) point to a regressive state of endurance abilities in young athletes between 1997 and 2020, describe possible reasons and suggest possible remedies. A total of 300 girls and 445 boys aged 12-14 years participated in the research investigation in the East Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, who are divided into performance categories HD12 and HD14 in the context of organised Czech orienteering competition. The aim of the evaluation of the longitudinal testing was to determine the trends in performance in endurance cross-country running as a key performance parameter of talented orienteering athletes over the period 1997 to 2020. The resulting data indicate that performance in all the studied categories in the given field test has a consistently decreasing trend. The results are also related to the conclusions of foreign and domestic observations of the state of motor fitness of children and youth of the corresponding period and indicate that the level of aerobic ability of young talented runners generally follows the current state of the level of endurance ability found in the national testing of school youth under the auspices of the Czech School Inspectorate (CSI, 2023), and thus the alarming society-wide situation in the field of motor fitness of children and youth in the Czech Republic.
