Virtualizing Project-Based Learning: An Abrupt Adaptation of Active Learning in the First Days of the COVID-19 Pandemic, with Promising Outcomes

Project-based learning (PBL) is renowned as an active learning practice that promotes the application of the accumulation of knowledge through real-world and often open-ended problems. This work assesses a case evaluation of an introductory PBL course in a typical industrial engineering curriculum in Brazil. This course is taken during the first semester, in which students must develop solutions for a single given problem through weekly meetings. The case presented herein highlights the forced abrupt virtualization of the learning process, which imposed an unprecedented scenario on the students and instructors, especially with regard to this course, which is based primarily on presented discussions and activities. The first weeks of class following the abrupt virtualization of activities encountered misinformation and a lack of clarity about the adaptation of the activities. Fortunately, through rapid iterations, the adjustment process resulted in time invested by the students and classes, with an active discussion, using the tools made available by the university. This work aims to present the forced abrupt changes applied to this first-semester course, highlighting the challenges faced, and the positive outcomes obtained and observed by both the students and the instructor, and to make a comparison to the evolution of the course over the past years.

INFORMATION MODELING OF THE CONTENT QUALITY ASSESSMENT PROCESS DURING EXPERTISE OF TYPICAL LEARNING PLANS AND TYPICAL LEARNING PROGRAMS (CURRICULA)

This article discusses the information modeling process of the quality assessment of content in the expertise of typical learning plans and typical learning programs (typical curricula). The results of the study of linear-concentrically constructed traditional and updated standard curricula and logical and technological map of the process of expertise of typical learning plans and typical learning programs (typical curricula) are presented. The problems of implementation associated with the meta-subject orientation of typical curricula are shown. A new form has been proposed, which provides for planning for each individual subject. Among the main substantive differences of the updated standard curricula, the following are considered: the values ​​of secondary education, the construction of programs in accordance with the expected results, the spiral construction of subject curricula, the taxonomy of educational goals, functional literacy, the adequacy of the content of sections and topics of academic disciplines to modern trends and focus on development and the formation of socially significant competences, etc. The improvement of the technology with a new algorithm for evaluating typical learning plans and typical learning programs (typical curricula) and making expert decisions is proposed. This study was carried out within the framework of the scientific and technical program "Scientific bases of modernization of the education and science system" at the National Academy of Education named after Y.Altynsarin of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

A Structured Pathway Toward Disruption: A Novel HealthTec Innovation Design Curriculum With Entrepreneurship in Mind.

The typical curriculum of training and educating future clinicians, biomedical engineers, health IT, and artificial intelligence experts lacks needed twenty first-century skills like problem-solving, stakeholder empathy, curiosity stimulation, entrepreneurship, and health economics, which are essential generators and are pre-requirements for creating intentional disruptive innovations. Moreover, the translation from research to a valuable and affordable product/process innovation is not formalized by the current teachings that focus on short-term rather than long-term developments, leading to inaccurate and incremental forecasting on the future of healthcare and longevity. The Stanford Biodesign approach of unmet clinical need detection would be an excellent starting methodology for health-related innovation work, although unfortunately not widely taught yet. We have developed a novel lecture titled HealthTec Innovation Design (HTID) offered in an interdisciplinary setup to medical students and biomedical engineers. It teaches a future-oriented view and the application and effects of exponential trends. We implemented a novel approach using the Purpose Launchpad meta-methodology combined with other innovation generation tools to define, experiment, and validate existing project ideas. As part of the process of defining the novel curriculum, we used experimentation methods, like a global science fiction event to create a comic book with Future Health stories and an Innovation Think Tank Certification Program of a large medical technology company that is focused on identifying future health opportunities. We conducted before and after surveys and concluded that the proposed initiatives were impactful in developing an innovative design thinking approach. Participants' awareness and enthusiasm were raised, including their willingness to implement taught skills, values, and methods in their working projects. We conclude that a new curriculum based on HTID is essential and needed to move the needle of healthcare activities from treating sickness to maintaining health.

Teaching Korean science for Indonesian middle school students: promoting Indonesian students’ attitude towards science through the global science exchange programme

ABSTRACT In the globalisation era, engaging youth in science and technology is a joint responsibility across nations. This study examined the effects of Global Korean Science Program (GKSP) on 608 Indonesian middle school students’ attitudes towards science. Their science attitudes were assessed before and after the programme with Behaviour, Related Attitudes, and Intentions towards Science (BRAINS) survey. We also collected students’ responses to an open-ended programme evaluation. The repeated-measures ANOVA was performed to compare students’ attitudes before and after the programme by including gender effect, followed by clustering analysis and magnitude coding to analyse open-ended programme evaluation data. Results showed that GKSP improved students’ behavioural and normative beliefs, suggesting that the programme had positive impacts on students’ beliefs about the importance of science in daily life. The decline in students’ control belief towards science after the programme indicates the possibility of science contents delivered in programme being more difficult than in the typical Indonesian science curriculum. Additionally, we found a significant gender effect on intention and normative dimensions. Furthermore, clustering analysis classified students into three groups; small changes (62%), increase trend (29%), and decrease trend (9%) indicating that most students participating in the study experienced a small science attitudes shift.

INTERACTIVE TEACHING METHODS IN TEACHING INTERNAL MEDICINE TO DENTAL STUDENTS

The article reflects the relevance of using interactive teaching methods based on the involvement of all participants of the educational process, who are being impelled to pass through the specific training materials within the relevant discipline and each topic in particular. The article also highlights the distinct features of innovative teaching techniques, their types and characteristics. There have been analyzed small group methods, brainstorming, discussion, case method, business game, and debriefing techniques. A variety of teaching methods, the requirements for their selection make instructors and lecturers of a higher medical school to opt teaching methods thoroughly for each topic in order to enhance their own methodology of teaching subjects than in general should considerably contribute to professional task solving of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases. The paper presents the implementation of some methods into interactive professional training at the Department of Internal Medicine of the Prof. M.M. Berezhnitsky Dentistry Faculty, Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University. The 3rd year dental students are often involved into training activities through the methods of small group working and "brainstorming" that allows to deeper understanding and better mastering of theoretical knowledge. In order to improve subject comprehension, the 4th year students are involved into topic-related discussions and problem-solving tasks. The case method in its different designs and business games are used to consider and analyze an each individual clinical case in the discipline course. The debriefing technique seems to be effective to improve practical skills required by a typical discipline curriculum. The implementation of interactive training techniques is a prerequisite for ensuring the effectiveness of the teaching and learning the discipline "Internal Medicine". Such training tactics provide fostering of students' professional thinking, promote their professional and personal growth, stimulate learning and cognitive activity, master the skills of comprehensive analysis of situations and prompt decision making.

Teaching Drugs: Incorporating Drug Policy into Law School Curriculum

Despite the significant impact of laws and policies surrounding controlled substances, few classes in the typical law school curriculum focus on either basic legal doctrines or broader scholarship in this field. This gap in law school curricula is especially problematic given the shifts in the landscapes of legalized cannabis and hemp, as well as the range of legal and policy responses to the recent opioid crisis. To better understand how law schools currently approach these issues and to identify how drug policy and law could be better incorporated into law school curricula, we conducted two surveys of all accredited law schools in the U.S. and hosted a workshop of legal scholars who work in this space. The surveys and workshop were designed to identify law school courses currently taught and the primary obstacles to teaching this subject matter. The results show that the vast majority of law schools do not teach courses touching on drugs or the evolving legal structures around cannabis, and this is true even for law schools located in states with legalized cannabis markets.

К вопросу о деловом дискурсе в полиязычном пространстве Казахстана

The work is devoted to the analysis of business discourse operating in the multilingual space of Kazakhstan, a multinational state where official bilingualism is present, and paperwork is conducted in two languages: Kazakh and Russian (Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Law on Languages in the Republic of Kazakhstan). Particular attention is paid to the identification of certain language units and the textual features presented in the texts of this discourse. Since 2007, along with the process of implementing the national and cultural project on the trinity of languages in the Republic of Kazakhstan, documentation, business communication and training are conducted in three languages: Kazakh, Russian and English. This generally affects the formation of the language environment of modern Kazakhstan – real business bilingualism is impossible without a parallel knowledge of the Kazakh and Russian languages, Kazakh and English. Taking into account the used methods of description, generalization, systematization and business texts contextual analysis, we make an attempt to study the linguistic features of business discourse as one of the most important types of verbal communication at the moment, which is not characterized by a personality component. We analyze the text of the order “On the Approval of Typical Curricula of Military Educational Institutions Subordinate to the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan” and the sections of the text “Typical Curriculum of Military Educational Institutions Subordinate to the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the Technical and Vocational Education Specialties Group “Military Science and Security”.

Effects of an Acute Physical Activity Intervention on Classroom Behavior in Off-Task Preschoolers

Evidence suggests that physical activity (PA) may improve classroom behavior in elementary school children. Further, studies have shown that the most off-task children may exhibit greater benefit from acute bouts of PA. However, limited data exists in preschoolers. PURPOSE: To examine baseline relationships between PA and classroom behavior, and to identify if the most off-task preschoolers responded differently to PA compared to those least off-task. METHODS: Participants (n=31, age=3.8±0.8 years, 61% male) attended a university-based preschool. In week one of this two-week pilot study, children engaged in their typical curriculum. Week two included daily short bouts of PA that were integrated into early learning standards. PA was assessed with accelerometers worn on the lower back during preschool attendance. Trained researchers conducted weekly 10-minute classroom observations to quantify children’s classroom behavior [active engaged time, (AET); passive engaged time, (PET); off-task motor, (OFT-M); off-task verbal, (OFT-V); off-task passive, (OFT-P)] using the Behavioral Observation of Students in Schools (BOSS) tool. Spearman correlations were used to examine baseline relationships between PA and classroom behavior variables. To test if children with high off-task behavior (HIGH) responded differently to PA compared to children with low off-task behavior (LOW), participants were categorized into tertiles based on baseline off-task behavior and groups were compared using t-tests. RESULTS: A negative correlation was observed between light intensity activity (min/day) and AET at baseline (r=-0.44, p=0.02). No other significant relationships were observed. However, when classroom behavior following PA in the most off-task children was examined, improvements were observed in OFT-M (HIGH=-36.5±5.4%, LOW=10.5±5.7%; p=0.0001), OFT-V (HIGH=-16.7±2.8%, LOW=5.7±3.3%; p=0.0004), and OFT-P behaviors (HIGH=-19.6±7.6%, LOW=12.0±7.1%; p=0.01). CONCLUSION: Initial evidence for PA to improve classroom behavior among children who exhibited greater off-task behavior was observed and is consistent with previous findings. Future work should build on this acute study and examine chronic PA to limit classroom off-task behaviors. Supported by: NASPEM Marco Cabrera Student Research Award

Promoting Young Children’s Understanding of the Situations and Prosocial Responses Related to Jealousy

The present study investigated the effects of two emotion trainings on young children’s knowledge about jealousy. Participants were 53 kindergarten and first-grade children who were assigned to one of two experimental conditions or a control condition. Children in the first experimental condition (video condition) received discussions about the components of jealousy paired with the presentation of dynamic visual stimuli (i.e., animated video clips). Children in the second experimental condition (video and role-play condition) received role-play exercises along with the discussions and video clips. Children in the control condition participated in their typical school curriculum. After receiving three emotion-training sessions of 15 min each, children in both experimental conditions made significant gains in their knowledge of the situations and prosocial cognitive/behavioral responses related to jealousy when compared to children in the control condition. The two experimental conditions made similar gains, showing that both trainings were equally effective at helping children improve their knowledge about jealousy. Implications for supporting young children’s understanding of emotions are discussed.

MEDTalks: a student-driven program to enhance undergraduate student understanding and interest in medical schools in Canada.

Given the lack of programs geared towards educating undergraduate students about medical school, the purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a medical student–driven initiative program, MEDTalks, enhanced undergraduate students’ understanding of medical school in Canada and stimulated their interest in pursuing medicine. The MEDTalks program, which ran between January and April 2018 at the University of Ottawa, consisted of 5 teaching sessions, each including large-group lectures, small-group case-based learning, physical skills tutorials, and anatomy lab demonstrations, to mimic the typical medical school curriculum. At the end of the program, undergraduate student learners were invited to complete a feedback questionnaire. Twenty-nine participants provided feedback, of whom 25 reported that MEDTalks allowed them to gain exposure to the University of Ottawa medical program; 27 said that it gave them a greater understanding of the teaching structure; and 25 responded that it increased their interest in attending medical school. The MEDTalks program successfully developed a greater understanding of medical school and helped stimulate interest in pursuing medical studies among undergraduate students.

THE ROLE OF MATHEMATICAL EDUCATION IN PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF SPECIALISTS FOR THE TOURISM SECTOR

At the current stage of social and economic development of Ukraine, the processes of globalization, integration and informatization of society raise qualitatively new challenges in the field of higher education. Ukraine has recently been focusing on European countries, which consider the tourism sector as a priority area for their economic development. This area of ​​investment is very attractive, creates new jobs and is characterized by a high level of efficiency. Therefore, the socio-economic success of the country as a whole depends on the professional training of future tourists. The basis for the development of specialist-tourist skills is mathematical disciplines, including the discipline "Higher and Applied Mathematics". There is an intensive process of mathematization of knowledge, involving mathematical apparatus in the study of natural sciences, humanities, economics and social sciences, which in turn forms a certain level of mathematical culture of students of universities. The purpose of teaching the course "Higher and Applied Mathematics" is to provide students with basic knowledge of mathematics, which enable them to further master the professional disciplines based on mathematical concepts. In this case, considerable attention should be paid to the formation of practical skills, the ability to apply mathematical methods when solving the tasks of professional activity. One of the tools for improving the quality of mathematical education for students-tourists is to update the content of courses that are read in the context of the future profession and modern socio-economic order. When considering a particular material, the idea of ​​its connection with the future profession should be put on the foreground. In this regard, the course "Higher and Applied Mathematics" for students-tourists VNAU contains several critical sections covering all the main areas of application of mathematical methods in the tourism sector. Teaching is carried out in accordance with the typical curriculum for higher education institutions in the discipline "Higher and Applied Mathematics" for the specialty "Tourism", developed by the teachers of the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Technologies, VNU taking into account the principle of professional orientation. Given the fact that for students the most important is the practical aspect of mathematics, the purpose of the course is to familiarize with the basic concepts and methods of studying modern mathematics necessary for further study of professional disciplines, as well as the formation of skills for the correct mathematical formulation of applied problems and the construction of simple mathematical models. The solution of many applications is due to cumbersome mathematical calculations, the need to visually present the results of calculations, check them, so it is advisable to use computer mathematical systems, in particular, Maccats, in practical classes in mathematics. Teachers of the Department of Mathematics of Physics and Computer Technologies are the ones who prefer it. To work with Mathcad, there are basic elementary skills in working with Windows applications, so you need to implement this environment from the first lessons when studying topics such as Linear Algebra, Differential and Integral Computing, Elements of Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics. The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the educational process greatly enhances the opportunities of both the teacher and the student's cognitive abilities. ICTs allow to visualize and dynamize the process of studying the discipline "Higher and Applied Mathematics", to personalize and direct the educational process for the comprehensive development of personality, to substantially increase the volume, sources of receipt and the nature of the information necessary for a person, the means of its processing. They can have a significant impact on the methodology of holding higher and applied mathematics classes, requiring the teacher to use electronic textbooks, lecture notes, practical work, the testing system for assessing student knowledge, and global sources of information. They also facilitate the organization of effective independent work in non-attendance time for students. It should be noted that to date there are quite a few tutorials, collections of tasks that contain applied tasks that can be considered at lectures and practical classes on higher and applied mathematics. Work on the creation of such methodological materials is conducted, in particular, at the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Technologies. Thus, changing requirements for a specialist in the field of tourism, which is conditioned by modernity, requires a permanent rearrangement of the structural elements of its preparation. Fundamental disciplines to a large extent are applied, and therefore a qualitative assimilation of basic and basic concepts of mathematical disciplines will contribute to the competitiveness and qualitative training of the future specialist.

Supporting parent engagement in a school readiness program: Experimental evidence applying insights from behavioral economics

Early childhood interventions aimed at reducing socioeconomic disparities hinge on parent engagement. However, sparking parents' engagement and sustaining it throughout the course of interventions has historically been challenging. We designed program enhancements informed by the interdisciplinary field of behavioral economics to support parent engagement in Getting Ready for School, a school readiness intervention for Head Start preschoolers. The behavioral economics enhancements are hypothesized to address psychological factors that might interfere with parents' decision-making, including attention, misestimation, and related parent biases about children's learning. Results from a randomized control design in four Head Start centers show that, compared with families that received the typical curriculum, those that received behavioral economics–enhanced strategies, such as personalized invitations, child-friendly activity planners, text-message reminders, and commitment reinforcement, had higher parent attendance and follow-through for GRS activities and spent more time with children on educational activities outside of the classroom.

The role of autonomy supportive activities on students’ motivation and beliefs toward out-of-school activities

Physical education in elementary education usually provides children’s first contact with sports. According to the trans-contextual model of motivation, physical education teachers can positively influence children’s beliefs toward and actual leisure time physical activity behavior. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of a dance-based physical education program on motivation regarding physical education lesson participation, as well as leisure time physical activity participation. The sample consisted of 252 pupils attending Grades 5 and 6 of elementary school (Mage = 10.48 years, SD = 0.50 years). Participants were randomly assigned into three groups. The first group attended a physical education lesson based on various forms of dance, the second one attended lessons with Greek traditional dances only, and the third group served as active control group that attended the typical curriculum. The intervention lasted six weeks. Before and after the intervention, students completed survey-based measures of motivational climate, motivational regulations in physical education and leisure time, enjoyment, attitudes, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, and intentions toward leisure time physical activity. In support of the trans-contextual model, results showed that students in the dance intervention programs scored significantly higher in perceptions of motivational climate and beliefs toward leisure time physical activity. The findings of the study suggest that dancing lessons at school can bolster more positive attitudes and beliefs toward physical education and leisure time physical activity.

РEDAGOGICAL CONDITIONS OF THE APPLICATION OF THE PROBLEM SITUATIONS IN PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION OF FUTURE EMPLOYEES OF THE PATROL POLICE

The urgency of the article is determined by the existing problems in the professional preparedness of police officers. The training of a patrol police officer as a carrier of a new ideology of service function requires the improvement of the system of training police officers and the revision of the pedagogical conditions of educational activity. Based on the analysis of the governing documents regulating professional training of the police, the key directions of reforming the system of vocational education of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine were identified. The necessity of ensuring a close relationship between science and practice and the training of skilled personnel with advanced theoretical knowledge and practical skills is determined. The analysis of the educational process of the students of the primary vocational training of police officers who were first taken to police service for the positions of the patrol police inspectors showed that the practical orientation is ensured, first of all, by the application of situational tasks when working out the practical skills of the patrol policeman during the origin of role-playing games (scenarios). The purpose of the article is to theoretically substantiate the pedagogical conditions of application of situational tasks during professional training of patrol police officers. The authors studied the specifics of the professional program of initial training of patrol police inspectors. The program regulates a list of educational subjects and related topics that are mandatory for study, their content, scope, purpose of training, forms of final control. According to the current guidelines, the term of study is 80 academic days (4 months), the total time of training time is 732 hours. A typical curriculum includes a number of items that are normative (472 hours) and varied (260 hours) parts. A prominent place during training of police officers is given to the development of scenarios. The article describes the peculiarities of the implementation of situational tasks, the pedagogical conditions for the application of situational tasks during the professional training of prospective patrol police officers have been determined and theoretically substantiated. The main pedagogical conditions are: increasing motivation of students to study and self-education; proper level of logistics; application of situational tasks after mastering the basics of basic subjects; sufficient level of professional competence of instructors and instructors. Defined and theoretically grounded pedagogical conditions must be realized comprehensively. Failure to at least one of them significantly reduces the effectiveness of forming the skills of the correct actions in the decision of official situations.

Informational And Didactic Modeling Of The Content Of The E-Textbook On The Mechanization Of Agricultural Production On The Basis Of The Ontological Approach

The authors raise the problem of new approaches in the field of creating textbooks, analyze the Ukrainian experience gained in the didactic modeling of electronic textbooks for vocational and post-school education, which should be of interest to a wide range of users. The authors suggest organizing an e-textbook environment on the mechanization of agricultural production on the basis of an ontological approach to ensure both the process of training future skilled fruit and vegetable growers in vocational (vocational and technical) education institutions, and to conduct research work in the agricultural sector by means of extracurricular educational activities, in particular within the system of the Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The article also analyzes the scientific and pedagogical literature, regulatory documents and sources of databases on the identified issues. The information and didactic substantiation of modeling the content and structure of the electronic textbook is presented. The authors demonstrate the general hierarchical structure of a typical curriculum on the logic of information and didactic modeling of an e-textbook on the professionally relevant specialized discipline, i.e. mechanization of agricultural production, and also offer its generalized structural model in accordance with the requirements of DSPTO 6111. ОА.01.10-2014 “Fruit and vegetable grower”. It is emphasized that there is a certain technological system for establishing relationships between didactic resource units. They are considered to be combined into enlarged didactic units, the assimilation of which indicates the existing level of formation of professional competence of future fruit and vegetable growers in terms of their acquisition of professional knowledge and skills (professional competencies) in the implementation of fruit and vegetable mechanized growing. Attention is focused on the features of technological editing of this e-textbook when it is introduced into the practice of education in Ukraine, and the advantages and obstacles to this process are determined.
