МОДЕРНІЗАЦІЯ НАВЧАЛЬНОГО ПРОЦЕСУ В УМОВАХ РЕФОРМУВАННЯ ШКІЛЬНОЇ ОСВІТИ В 1985–1991 РОКАХ

In the conditions of the «perestroika» of 1985–1991, the school in the Ukrainian SSR faced a number of challenges related to the reform of general education institutions. The difficulty was the contradictory nature of the Soviet period, when on paper there is only one thing, and in practice – something else, which ultimately led to the incompleteness of a huge number of reforms. The process of restructuring the educational field was, in fact, ambiguous. Secondary schools faced a number of new tasks: reconstruction of education in the conditions of NTR, in particular, the involvement of schoolchildren in computer knowledge and computer science concepts; strengthening the relationship between the school and practical production; new approaches in education and upbringing in the direction of glasnost and democratization. De facto, this led to experimentation in the search for new forms and methods of teaching and education in the Soviet school. The reconstruction of the school began with the computerization of the educational space, which was characterized by the lack of a professional methodical base, low qualification level of teachers and problems with technical support. According to the new curriculum of 1985/86 pupils was obliged to master a computer. Therefore, a new subject «Fundamentals of informatics and computer technology» was introduced. On the other hand, the lack of scientific and methodological support stimulated the search for new forms and methods of learning, which contributed to the development of pupil`s creative activity in the direction of scientific research. According to the reform, it was necessary to create a perfect program and textbooks on Ukrainian literature, and then, based on them, a complete educational and methodological complex, both for pupils and for teachers. The school subject – the literature of the previous period – had to serve as the foundation. The reform in secon­dary schools also affected the lesson of physical culture. An improved program «Comprehensive program of physical education of pupils of grades I–XI», was introduced. which included all forms of school physical culture, which constituted a complex system based on the All-Union Physical Comp­lex «Ready for Work and Defense of the USSR». As for the teachers of exact disciplines, they had to have a good command not only of scientific and theoretical material, but also to have ideological and political training.

From obese to lean curriculum: exploring students' experiences about developing competencies in medical education.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, competency-based education has been proposed as an approach to education in many disciplines including the medical sciences and it has become a dominant approach in many countries. We aimed to explore the lived experiences of general medical students about developing competencies in the academic curriculum. We conducted a phenomenology method to study lived experiences of general medical students through selecting participants via a purposeful sampling strategy. Snowballing and maximum variation samplings were also applied to recruit additional participants. The study was conducted at a Medical School in Iran. Three successive phases of qualitative data analysis, namely, data reduction by coding, data structuring by categorization, and data interpretation by discussion were applied to analyze the interviews. The results of the research showed that students' lived experiences fall under 4 main themes with 9 subthemes. The main themes show that (1) the compartmentalized curriculum in basic courses is experienced as the missing parts in a puzzle, (2) the physiopathology curriculum is experienced as swimming on land, (3) the externship is experienced as touring a mysterious land, (4) the internship is experienced as unleashed arrows. Our findings reveal that despite the changes already made in the curriculum, its compartmentalization is still a main obstacle to achieving competency-based medical education. A strict requirement for leaving the discipline-based curriculum behind is to use an integrated approach, in which basic science courses are connected with clinical cases, and physiopathology courses are connected with externships and internships.

Fostering Student Engagement and Success in STEM Education: An AI-Driven Exploration of High Impact Practices from Cross-Disciplinary General Education Courses

Due to the increase in data and software tools, the need for programmers and data analysts has risen in the United States during the 21st century. As a result, more students are enrolling in Computer Science, Information Technology, and Data Science programs nationwide. However, switching to online and blended learning and using cyberlearning tools have presented new challenges for student learning, retention, and program success. One way to overcome these challenges and improve student achievement is to implement evidence-based pedagogical strategies and innovative technologies within clear theoretical frameworks. Recent studies have shown that various Learning Engagement Strategies (LESs) in STEM education, such as gamification, active learning, feedback and assessment, and interactive multimedia, significantly increase student engagement and course completion rates. High-Impact Practices (HIPs), identified as crucial by Kuh in 2008, have become powerful tools for enhancing student involvement, retention, and completion in higher education. This article explores practices that can enhance student learning and success that have many benefits, including more robust relationships between students and faculty, cooperative learning, quick feedback, inclusive environments, and conflict resolution. The study uses NLP-based text analytics to investigate the application and impact of these High-Impact Practices (HIPs) across different disciplines. Firstly, it identifies the most prevalent HIPs in various General Education (Gen Ed) disciplines that impact student success. Secondly, it formulates AIdriven recommendations for cultivating a student-centric learning environment through HIPs within STEM education. The results of empirical analyses using course materials, survey data, syllabi, and pre/post-workshop surveys sourced from around 65 Gen Ed course at a small public university provides valuable insights into successful HIPs for STEM courses that can help instructors improve their online and blended course designs. By implementing these practices, educators can increase student engagement, retention, and completion rates across diverse student populations in Gen Ed STEM courses.

Inheritance, Reference, and Innovation of Educational Technology Discipline in China

As artificial intelligence, quantum techniques, and brain neuroscience advance, the educational ecosystem is poised for transformative shifts, triggering a revolution in education. Educational technology’s emphasis is no longer confined to leveraging information technology for educational reform alone; it now actively seeks to optimize and innovate the educational ecosystem, creating a sustainable and virtuous cycle of development. Educational technology will shift from technological care to humanistic care, forming a new “cultural view of educational technology” and entering the post educational technology era. The field of educational technology must move beyond a static mindset centered on information technology application and venture into the realm of an innovative educational ecology. During the construction of this new educational ecology, unique theoretical and practical innovation models should be introduced. It is through this proactive approach that the discipline of educational technology can genuinely demonstrate its value and contribute to the “big education discipline’s” establishment and growth. Currently, at present, attention should be paid to the practice of educational informatization. This entails meticulously summarizing novel insights and experiences in educational informationization and digital transformation, discerning underlying development patterns, and elevating them into innovative theories and methodologies. Special attention should be given to breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, exploring the implications of big data models and generative artificial intelligence for education. Furthermore, there is a necessity to expand both the knowledge system and practical applications within the discipline of educational technology.

Характеристика стану впровадження зарубіжного досвіду викладання навчальних дисциплін у Військовому інституті Київського національного університету імені Тараса Шевченка

Background. The study is dedicated to solving the problems of training domestic cadets and trainee officers, which arise due to the clash of paradigms of the officer's personality formation – as a performer (according to the traditions of the Soviet higher military school) and as a leader, in accordance with modern approaches to training military personnel in the leading countries of the world. In particular, we are talking about the problems of choosing a methodical system for conducting an educational session and the cadets' choice of methods of educational activity in view of activity, initiative, targeting the demonstration of critical thinking, that is, those characteristics of the training process that are determined by the state of implementation of foreign experience in teaching academic disciplines in a domestic institution of higher military education. The purpose of the article is to provide a description of the state of implementation of foreign experience in teaching academic disciplines at the Military Institute of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Methods. The method of surveying chair heads was used; content analysis of scientific literature, which describes the conduct of educational activities at military academies of the leading countries of the world; the experimental method for substantiating the methodology of conducting training classes; quantitative and qualitative methods of scientific literature research; sociological observation of the results of the survey of respondents; systematic analysis of the practical problems of conducting various types of training classes and the course of implementation of methods of conducting training classes in accordance with the leading countries of the world; a systematic approach to the study of the conduct of educational classes in the military academies of the leading countries of the world; the experimental method of implementing the experience of the leading countries of the world in Military Institute. Results. According to the results of the study, it was found that a certain part of scientific and pedagogical workers does not demonstrate that it relies on relevant foreign experience when teaching academic disciplines and, as a result, does not ensure the formation of the personality of an officer-leader. With this in mind, recommendations for conducting certain activities are given for such scientific and pedagogical workers. ConclusIons. The future prospects of this research consist in the development of scientifically based recommendations regarding the content of work programs of educational disciplines and their other regulatory and methodological support, which is aimed at taking into account the foreign training experience of military personnel.

The essence of using problem-based learning technologies in teaching physical education disciplines

This article discusses the direction of improving the quality of training of professional teaching personnel using problem-based learning technologies when conducting physical education classes. The main difference between problem-based and traditional learning is seen in the goals and principles of organizing the educational process. The goal of problem-based learning is to master not only the fundamentals of science, but also the process of acquiring knowledge and scientific facts, and the development of the student’s cognitive and creative abilities. Problem-based learning, like any other teaching method, is not universal, but it is an important part of the modern education system. Physical education is one of those subjects that can implement these approaches in its lessons, and problem-based learning will help achieve the main goal of education and training. This method contributes to the development of the ability to apply one’s knowledge in different situations, helps to study phenomena from different sides and in different aspects, that is, it contributes to the formation of critical thinking.

Discipline «project management» as an elective for future professional junior bachelors in agricultural specialties

The article analyzes modern definitions of "project management" given by Ukrainian and foreign scientists. Based on these, the characteristics of project activities are presented and motivation for studying and applying project activities is formed, particularly for students pursuing the educational degree of "Professional Junior Bachelor". It is noted that project management has stages of initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and completion, and the motivations include satisfying the individual's need for free choice of activity, high interest of executors, focus on results and quality assurance of achieved goals, adherence to implementation deadlines, compliance with the project execution plan, use of only limited resources provided, customer satisfaction from high-quality implementation, and the opportunity for employee training. The competencies that a student of a professional pre-higher education institution in agriculture should acquire are studied, and those competencies that can be formed in the process of studying the discipline "Project Management" are identified. The educational and professional programs for training professional junior bachelors in the specialties "201 Agronomy", "073 Management", "208 Agroengineering" in the 2023-2024 academic year in a number of professional agricultural pre-higher education institutions were analyzed, and it was found that they lack the discipline "Project Management". The necessity of introducing the discipline "Project Management" into the educational process of training professional junior bachelors in agricultural specialties is substantiated, as an elective course, taking into account the basic principles of forming elective disciplines, which usually include ensuring students' right to choose educational disciplines, creating an individual educational trajectory, and the correspondence of elective disciplines to labor market requirements and student interests.

This article discusses the issue of increasing the use of the visual aids of the educational process when studying aviation technology at a flight school. An analysis of the educational and methodological complex of the educational disciplines selected for the study was carried out. The contradictions between the increasing requirements for the training of an aviation specialist and the possibilities of its training in modern conditions are identified. The introduction of simulation dynamic 2D models into the training process of flight personnel is justified as a way of increasing the use of visual aids of educational material taught. A version of a computer program for creating 2D models is presented. Using the example of the author's developments, the advantage of simulating dynamic 2D models in studying the design and operation of aircraft and engine systems and assemblies is shown. An analysis of the results of the implementation of developed innovations to improve visual aids was carried out. An increase in the performance of cadets in theoretical training before flying the aircraft under study was recorded. The recommendations for the development of 2D models and their use in the learning process are also offered.

РОЗВИТОК КОГНІТИВНИХ НАВИЧОК І КОМПЕТЕНЦІЙ МАЙБУТНІХ ФАХІВЦІВ ДЛЯ ЕКОНОМІКИ ЗНАНЬ

This article defines the priority competencies of the future specialists (according to the economic direction of work) of enterprises, based on global trends in the development of the economy in the leading economically developed countries and in Ukraine. It has been established that today the economic unit of work at our enterprises is based on the application of digital technologies for 2/3. These technologies make it possible to increase labor productivity, significantly reduce the time of designing and mastering the production of new products, shorten the technological and financial cycles of production and sale of products, as well as enter global markets. Special attention was paid to the application of digital technologies specifically to small and micro-enterprises, as today they make up 95% of the total number of enterprises in the economy of Ukraine. But in the conditions of the rapid development of IT technologies at enterprises, a significant problem has arisen: the digital competence of personnel lags far behind the modern possibilities of increasing the efficiency of enterprise management based on these latest IT technologies. There are several reasons but the main one is that educational institutions of professional pre-higher education are "lagging behind" in technologies and methods of teaching digital technologies. This lag is typical not only for the disciplines of professional and practical training that are taught, but also for the forms and methods of education that are used. The cognitive skills and competencies of future economists are the key to the economic and scientific and technical development of each enterprise and the whole country. The authors creatively interpreted the results of their own and international research on the evolution of skills and competencies of economists at enterprises in Ukraine and other economically developed countries. Dominant competencies for specialists of enterprises that are typical for Industry 3.0; 4.0; 5.0 are established. The improvement directions of modern competence training of specialists in the economics of enterprises in educational institutions are indicated. It is noted that "digital" competence in highly developed countries is already perceived as a necessary basic level of education for a young specialist, as well as evidence of employers' trust in the level of "digital" training in educational institutions. Currently, relevant forms and methods of teaching students to instill in them a creative approach to solving specific production problems have been determined. Examples of the application of various economic programs in the educational process, which lead to the effective assimilation of educational disciplines and the development of cognitive abilities of future specialists, are given.

Construction and Evaluation of an Intelligent Analysis System for Interactive Teaching in Physical Education Classrooms

Abstract With the continuous deepening and progress of the research in the physical education discipline, the school and the state put the landing point on the integration of information technology and the development of the discipline. In this paper, we design the system framework and perform data module design, on the basis of which we conduct detection research on teacher-student interaction behavior. The article employs an intelligent analysis system based on the YOLOv5 model to establish a model of teacher-student interaction behavior. This model is based on the movement and facial observations of both teachers and students in a physical education classroom. The intelligent analysis system, based on the YOLOv5 model and independent t-test, observed the behavior of teacher-student interaction based on the ratio of teacher-student verbal interaction and analyzed it accordingly. In teacher- and student-type speech, the ratio of teacher-direct influence speech is 45.62%, which is higher than indirect influence speech, while the ratio of student-passive speech is 5.54%, which is higher than student-active speech. Finally, the interactive intelligent system was evaluated for teaching and learning to understand students’ feedback on the intelligent analyzing system based on the YOLOv5 model from two parts: physical education test scores and students’ satisfaction surveys. In the physical education classroom, the teacher primarily uses their own words and interacts with the students less frequently. However, the system has the potential to significantly enhance students’ performance in Physical Education, with the majority of students reporting improvements in their PE skills and other areas. In terms of participation in the physical education classroom, 32 students thought that there was a “great improvement,” and 22 students thought that there was an “improvement,” for a total percentage of 98.18%, which is a significant effect.

Teaching English for International Marketing in Business English Majors under the View of Applied Teaching

Abstract As one of the core courses of the Business English major, “International Marketing English” integrates business marketing teaching and linguistic teaching, demonstrating interdisciplinary characteristics. At the same time, the course teaching presents a strong inclination to cater to talent cultivation needs of social and economic development, stressing the connection between theory and practice, which is facing strong teaching challenges. The integration of discipline teaching and practical social needs is emphasized in application-oriented teaching, which breaks away from the limitations of traditional teaching. It encourages the strategic advancement of the ‘International Marketing English program for business English majors. From the perspective of ecological education and scenario-based teaching theory, this paper explains the theoretical basis for application-oriented teaching in ‘International Marketing English’. It also proposes methods to promote application-oriented teaching in course teaching, including strengthening the integration of industrial development and talent cultivation, creating teaching scenarios, practicing on designated projects, and adopting diverse modes of evaluation.

Navigating Unsettling Intercultural Issues of Volunteer Tourism: A Synthetic Review

In light of the burgeoning research and operational facets of international volunteer tourism, a discernible surge in the engagement of global volunteers for cross-cultural interactions within Global South communities has become increasingly evident. However, global volunteers encounter formidable challenges during their transition into and engagement with the local host community, stemming from a conspicuous paucity of intercultural awareness. This predicament poses a substantial impediment to the aspirational objective of effectuating a beneficial and constructive impact on cross-cultural interaction with the host community. With an intercultural sensitivity lens, this synthetic review examines the major issues surrounding cross-cultural understanding and interactive learning as well as discusses potential mitigating strategies that nurture intercultural sensitivity, making transition and participation more effective for the well-being of the host community. The review suggests that cultural stereotyping, ethnocentric behaviors, self-fulfilling behaviors of volunteers, and the absence of meaningful local participation in co-production of knowledge in volunteer tourism appear to be key factors affecting meaningful cross-cultural interactions and ethical behaviors. The proposed strategies including pre-departure training and orientation as educational discipline, aimed at facilitating cross-cultural immersion, assimilation and interaction, seem to be neglected in practice of volunteering tourism. This oversight undermines the effectiveness of these crucial initiatives in achieving their intended outcomes.
