Training In Higher Education Institutions Research Articles

Смешанный формат обучения – перспективное направление подготовки студентов экономических специальностей

Unpredictable abrupt changes in the external environment of the education ecosystem have necessitated the introduction of distance and mixed learning formats into practice and the transformation of forms of interaction between students and teachers. The high quality of students' training in higher education institutions has recently been ensured thanks to the implementation of online courses and the organization of mixed forms of education based on them, which involve remote work to familiarize students with theoretical material by performing skill-oriented tasks remotely, face-to-face seminars and final control of the development of academic disciplines. The subject of the article is a methodological approach to the organization of learning processes taking into account the challenges of the external environment and internal restructuring based on the integration of modern pedagogical teaching methods and technological solutions in order to form a new generation of human capital. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the construction of an integrated design—problem approach in conditions of mixed learning using LMS Canvas as a tool to improve the quality of training of a new generation of human capital. The conceptual foundations of designing the implementation of students' research work in a mixed learning format as an element of professional training of human capital are considered. The conclusions are made that the active inclusion of students in the modern process of the knowledge economy brings them to a high level of responsibility and strict compliance with deadlines for individual stages of work.

RESEARCH OF THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT PROFESSIONAL EXPECTATIONS OF FUTURE PROFESSIONALS

Problem statement. Freelance teachers are often faced with the fact that students who study in a particular specialty for four or six years, after graduation go to work in another specialty or master another profession. This situation, or rather the problem of so-called "staff turnover", is especially characteristic of technical specialties. And it does not matter whether the student is studying under a contract, whether he occupies a state budget place, whether the student is successful in his studies, or belongs to those who are constantly absent from class and have academic debts. In our opinion, the study of the causes of such issues, which is characteristic of the Free Economic Zone in Ukraine, is an important and insufficiently studied task from a theoretical and practical point of view. A large amount of scientific psychological and pedagogical research is devoted to the study of motives for choosing a specialty and future profession, the topic of motivation of modern youth in general, the study of professional interests of high school students, experimental research on career guidance. But there is very little theoretical and practical work aimed at studying the reasons for choosing a profession that does not correspond to the educational specialty. Purpose of the article is to analyze the problem of studying the professional expectations of students, as well as to investigate the psychological characteristics of young people as a subject of study and the factors influencing young people's choice of specialty and future profession in the process of their education in Institutions of higher education (IHE). Conclusions. Analyzed: psychological features of students as subjects of study; the meaningful nature of students' choice of their professional path; factors influencing young people's choice of specialty and future profession; psychological features of successful mastering of knowledge during training in IHE; psychological components of the student's cognitive activity - motives, interest, attention, memory, volitional and emotional processes; problems of professional career realization as an element of self-realization and human self-development; components of emotional and evaluative attitude of students to the future profession; functions that fulfill professional expectations in the life of the individual; signs of the content of professional expectations.

DEVELOPMENT OF CREATIVE ABILITIES IN THE PROCESS OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE TEACHERS AS A REQUIREMENT OF MODERN TIMES

The scientific publications on the relevance of the development of creativity of future teachers in the 21st century are analyzed. The most successful interpretations of psychologists and teachers of the concepts "ability" and "creativity" are revealed. The main features of the process of developing creative thinking (intrinsic motivation, mobility, willingness to take risks, etc.) are identified. Among the parameters of divergent thinking (creative thinking) the author highlighted productivity, originality and flexibility. The author characterizes the features of professional and pedagogical thinking of future teachers, including versatility, global purpose, specificity and comprehensive development. The main functions of creative thinking (informational, cognitive, design, prognostic, reflexive, problem solving) are singled out. It has been found out that creativity is a necessary component of any teacher's professional activity. The necessity of developing creative abilities of future teachers during their professional training in higher education institutions is argued. An important stage of teacher training is taking pedagogical practical training, where students have the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and practical skills of developing children's creative abilities. Active methods and techniques that can be used by the teacher to motivate the development of children's creative abilities are highlighted: they are role-playing games, creative competitions, search tasks, staging, etc. The creative potential of individuals must be constantly improved through extracurricular activities and self-education (social networks, conferences, webinars, trainings, etc.). In addition, every teacher is a role model: a creative teacher has creative children. The author emphasizes the need to develop an individual style of professional creative activity of the teacher, namely the methods of presenting educational material, children's motivation, interaction in the classroom with students, the use of the latest information technologies. The main purpose of the development of creative abilities of future teachers in higher education institutions is the formation of children's creative abilities through imagination, games and projects. Creativity should be a teacher's lifestyle, his/her main goal when gaining professional experience.

THE SYSTEM OF EXERCISES FOR TEACHING ORAL CONSECUTIVE INTERPRETING

The aim of our study was to create a system of exercises for teaching interpretation in the language pair "German-Ukrainian", due to the emergence of new standards for the quality of professional training of interpreters. In our article we used theoretical and empirical research methods: critical analysis of scientific literature on translation studies, methods of professional training of translators; educational documents and textbooks in higher education institutions; monitoring the organization of interpretation training in higher education institutions; observation of the organization of interpretation training in the Free Economic Zone; survey of translation teachers in order to study the state of professional training of applicants for higher education; questionnaires, self-assessment of future translators in order to identify the probable level of their professional competence. At the initial stage of the study, a survey of both higher education and translation teachers was conducted in order to identify priority areas of professional interpretation of an interpreter, to select relevant material and develop a system of exercises to develop skills and skills of interpretation within the discipline "Fundamentals of Interpreting", which is taught in the 3rd year (180 hours, 6 credits). The subject component of the content of interpretation training is limited on the basis of the results of the questionnaire in the following areas: social, political, as well as the field of culture and education. According to the stages of interpretation training, a system of exercises consisting of three subsystems has been developed. These include exercises for: 1) the formation of special skills of interpretation; 2) automation of skills and formation of special and strategic skills; 3) development of special and strategic skills. The material for the development of these exercises was authentic German-language online sources in the field of culture and education, as well as social and political spheres of human activity (official websites of Deutsche Welle, the European Commission, the website of the Federal Chancellor and the President of Germany; private podcast Annik Rubens Slow German mit Annik Rubens, printed publications in online format: Bild, Zeit, Spiegel, die Welt, Frankfurter Allgemeine, as well as online terminological dictionaries. The total amount of practical tasks for translation and exercises for the formation and automation of special skills of interpretation and development of strategic skills is 200 units, which are offered as a basis for the conclusion of methodological development for teaching interpretation in the 3rd year. Key words: consecutive interpreting, professional competence of an interpreter, system of exercises, stages of training, groups of exercises.

To achieve this goal, research methods such as generalization, comparison, systematization and abstraction were used. The structure of the medical institutions future specialists’ professional competence is substantiated, that contains the relationship with the normative content of training of higher education seekers, in accordance with the requirements of the standard of the discipline being studied. It is established that the detailization of competences according to the discipline curriculum, structures, forms, methods and conditions for realization of the model of the future physicians’ professional competence formation in the process of training in higher education institutions need a further research.

Preparation of social workers for professional activity in the field of health: implementation of progressive ideas of the USA in Ukraine

The relevance of the study is due to the growing importance of health in the value system of modern society, as well as the deteriorating health of the population not only in Ukraine but in the world as a whole. The situation has especially deteriorated in the context of the coronavirus infection pandemic, which has led to the emergence of numerous new and exacerbation of "old" social problems of the population. Social workers cannot stay away from the problems faced by ordinary citizens, especially when it comes to achieving social justice and respect for human rights, in particular in such a sensitive area as health. To ensure the effective provision of social services and to address the social problems of the population on the basis of health, social workers must be properly prepared for this type of professional activity. The training of social workers for health activities in Ukraine is a fairly new and not very common area of training in higher education institutions, and the practice of social workers in the field of health care in Ukraine is not yet a typical phenomenon. The use of progressive foreign developments is a good basis for quality preparation of future and already practicing social workers for health activities. Of particular importance is the American experience in training social workers to work in health care, based on more than a century of practice in this area. In order to borrow and adapt the valuable ideas of foreign experts, a comparison of the training of social workers for health activities in the United States and Ukraine was made. On the basis of the revealed common and distinctive features the ways of introduction of the best achievements of the American high school in domestic practice of preparation of social workers are offered.

Distinguishing the concept of mentoring in the National police of Ukraine from related concepts.

The purpose of writing this scientific article is to determine the features of mentoring in the National Police of Ukraine on the basis of distinguishing this concept from related concepts. In order to achieve this goal, the author defines a range of concepts related to mentoring in the National Police, which will analyze in the work: training, coaching, consulting, mentoring, supervision. The paper emphasizes the need to adapt mentoring in the National Police of Ukraine to the modern realities of Ukrainian society and to modernize it to European standards. An example of an attempt to implement this thesis is the introduction of the institute of mentors in the patrol police of Ukraine in 2019. Mentoring in the patrol police is the first step towards overcoming urgent problems with the young potential of the police. In the future, it is proposed to determine the legal basis for the implementation of this and similar institutions in the police. According to the author, the method of supervision can be introduced into the internal activities of the National Police of Ukraine after careful preparation and definition of the main methodological goals, objectives and methods of application. However, the institution of supervision is not identical to mentoring, as it has a number of differences: their subjects and objects, as well as the relationship between them. Emphasis is placed on the mandatory use of training in the process of professional training of police officers: initial training; training in higher educational institutions with specific learning conditions; postgraduate education; job training. But the key difference between training and mentoring is the acquisition of knowledge in artificially created conditions or in real life situations during the performance of police duties. The author considers coaching a necessary element for mentoring in the National Police of Ukraine. The mentor should not indicate the algorithm of actions for the police officer, not solve work tasks by his own example, but give the police officer the opportunity to make decisions independently, perform actions under the strict supervision of the mentor with prior and subsequent analysis of the work situation. The paper focuses on the inappropriateness of the use of consulting in the activities of the National Police of Ukraine, as the police officer has no opportunity not to follow the recommendations, instructions, orders, etc.

FUTURE DIPLOMATS’ SELF-DEVELOPMENT IN THE PROCESS OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

The article considers the problem of the future diplomat self-development professional training.
 With the development of the humanistic paradigm of education the forming an active, creative personality became relevant. The personality of a specialist in the field of international relations must distinguish between clear goals and socially significant value orientations, a creative attitude to work, the desire for high productivity, for continuous self-development.
 It is found that the main feature of man, which determines the significant characteristics of his nature, is the system-forming unity of a special objectively given creative activity – activity and subjectivity, which contains the need, need, ability and ability to change, expand, design such activities, attitude to it as a condition of their existence and their growth and development in it. A clear idea of the future diplomat about his professional future, the ability to build their professional and educational space at different stages of professional development and willingness to be realized in it is a diagnosed result of personal self-development during training. The self-development of the future diplomat promotes a high level of self-improvement and self-realization in future professional activity.
 The complexity of a diplomat's professional activity involves a specially organized space for professional training. The formation of such a space consists of several conditions: strategic – approaches, conceptual positions that determine the result, and technical – technologies of professional training in higher education institutions. Introspection is an important thing in self-realization. First, it helps the future diplomat to adapt to the conditions of the living environment. Secondly, it is the basis of the dynamics and development of self-awareness of the future diplomat, which allows you to change your perception of yourself and attitude to yourself in the process of life. Thirdly, it puts the future diplomat in an active position concerning his life, making him a subject of his life (a subjective life position is formed).

APPROACHES TO DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ INFORMATION CULTURE IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION

The article focuses on the importance of information culture as an integral part of professional culture of engineers, which affects the quality and safety of engineering solutions. The main two approaches to the definition of "information culture" are determined, which include an information approach when the information culture is reduced to the concept of computer or information literacy and a culturological approach when the concept "information culture" is seen as a way of human life in the information society. Development of the information culture acts as a process of harmonization of the inner world of man in the acquisition of socially significant information.
 The main components of information culture of engineers are highlighted, including literacy and competence in understanding the nature of information processes and relationships, humanistically oriented information value-semantic sphere, developed information reflection, creativity in information behaviour and socio-information activity.
 Based on a broad understanding of information culture as a qualitative characteristic of the life of a specialist in terms of receiving, transmitting, storing and using information, where universal moral values are the main priority, basic methodological approaches to forming information culture of future engineers are proposed, namely: system, personal, activity, integrative, culturological, axiological and reflexive approaches. The process of developing future engineers’ information culture in the process of professional training in higher educational institutions will be effective providing that it is based on the substantiated methodological approaches.

Organization of the Educational Process on Natural Science Training in Higher Education Institutions on the Basis of Innovation and Heuristics

The relentless informational variability in the field of natural sciences, today's need for the training of highly competent, versatile, apologetic future specialists, as well as the low motivation of psychology students to teach natural disciplines, was established by us in the process of their questioning, require the search for new, non-standard solutions in the organization of natural science training of future psychologists in institutions of higher education. We believe that one of the effective ways to solve this problem is the organization of the educational process with the natural scientific training of future psychologists in higher education institutions based on innovation and heuristic. To organize the educational process from the natural science training of future psychologists on the basis of innovation and eurestiality, there is a need to determine such ultra-innovation pedagogical technologies and teaching methods that will meet the requirements of the time, contribute to the formation of psychology students' motivation to study natural sciences and improve the quality and the effectiveness of natural science training. We have characterized pedagogical technologies, namely: coworking technology, barcamp technology, workshop technology, SMART technology, BYOD technology and such innovative methods as: lecture-visualization, video lecture, debates, round table, electronic brain assault , a laboratory experiment and a design-role-playing game, which, in our opinion, will contribute to the implementation of the educational process with the natural science training of future psychologists in higher education institutions based on innovation and heuristic.

Nowadays foreign language is not just a part of nation's culture, it is also the guarantee of student’s successful career in the future. The achievement of high level proficiency of foreign language is not possible without fundamental language training in higher education institution. Most of them in our country provide students with at least two or even three foreign languages. In the context of higher school reforming, important changes in the educational technologies of foreign language teaching are envisaged. Modern language education is also gradually being modernized, introducing a modular rating system for teaching foreign languages. Interdisciplinary integration, democratization and economization of education determine the manifestation of innovative components in the teaching of the foreign languages. All this requires the formulation of the new claims for teaching and a foreign language teacher in the Free Economic Zone. At the current stage of society development, the purpose of foreign language teaching in higher education institutions is students' mastering of communicative competencies that will allow them to implement their knowledge, skills and abilities to solve specific communicative tasks in real life situations. The introduction of the new effective methods of foreign language teaching in the process of preparing students of humanities and technical specialties has become not only desirable but also necessary. Innovative orientation requires teachers to master and apply the pedagogical innovations, as well as stimulate the search for new forms and methods of educational process organization. High-quality language training of students is impossible without the use of modern educational technologies. The most effective are the professionally-oriented foreign language learning, the project work in teaching, the application of information and telecommunication technologies, the work with educational computer programs in foreign languages (multimedia system), the distance technologies in foreign language learning, the use of Internet resources, the foreign language teaching in the computer environment (forums, blogs, e-mail, etc.).
