Necessity of assessment and how it affects students' psyche and desire to learn: innovative digital technologies for assessment of art and music teaching in China

ABSTRACT This paper studies the use of innovative digital technologies to assess art and music creative works in China. The authors of the paper conducted an experimental study of the influence of various types of assessment, such as formative and summative, on the academic motivation and mental health of artists and musicians. The study involved second-year students from Xihua University (N = 548). The researchers used the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS) as psychometric tools of the standardized methods. Summarizing the results obtained, they can conclude that summative assessment stimulates external motivation, while formative assessment contributes to the development of internal motivation of students. These results allow teachers to offer different types of assessment to strengthen a certain type of students’ motivation. The researchers also found that summative assessment could result in a higher level of amotivation. However, they did not confirm the assumption about the negative impact of summative assessment on the mental state of students.

Peculiarities of the Formation of Basic Knowledge on the Emergency Pre-medical Assistance Providing by Persons without Special Medical Education

Starting from February 2022, with the beginning of the russian federation’s unprovoked aggression against Ukraine, the time requirements for the direction of the trainings and the contingent for which they are intended have changed significantly.

The impact of a professional upskilling training programme on developing teachers' digital competence

AbstractBackgroundThe emergence of remote teaching during the Coronavirus (COVID‐19) pandemic caused several gaps due to teachers being unprepared to teach online. Teachers did not achieve many digital competencies, resulting in an inability to facilitate the students' learning by using technology creatively to overcome challenges. Accordingly, developing teachers' digital competencies to facilitate the teaching and learning process will: positively impact students' innovative use of digital technology in completing their tasks; consequently, develop their digital competencies; prepare them for jobs that do not yet exist; and support them for unexpected challenges they might face.ObjectivesThis study investigates the impact of the upskilling training programme on developing teachers' digital competence, where the aim is to investigate if the teachers' digital competence has improved from the expected intermediate level stated by the World Bank Report in 2021, where strategies for the Digital Skills Action Plan were mentioned. For instance, strategy 2 “Reform of Digital Skills programmes” stated that students must acquire at least intermediate level of general digital skills. Strategy 3 “Enhance use of technologies in teaching and learning” aims to advance teachers' digital competencies to be above the intermediate level. Accordingly, the above average level was used in the hypothesis as a benchmark of the teachers' levels after attending the upskilling training programme. The upskilling training programme of this study is a 10‐week training session using blended learning approach with instructor leading. The training's long‐term goals aim to construct a higher level of competency in a set of skills, attitudes as well as knowledge, which include digital citizenship; communication and collaboration; critical thinking, problem‐solving, and decision‐making; creativity and innovation; using technology as a tool.MethodsA sequential mixed‐method approach using quantitative and qualitative data was used. An online survey with closed‐ended items was adopted to collect quantitative data from teachers. The qualitative data was collected through teachers' focus group discussions using the Zoom conference meetings platform. The participants are K‐12 teachers from a group of national charity schools in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).Results and ConclusionsThe study results revealed that the upskilling training programme efficiently developed teachers' digital competence where they construct knowledge and skills. Teachers exhibit a positive attitude towards using technology that supports collaboration, learning, and productivity, consequently developing their digital competence. As a result, this will also lead to the development of the students' digital competencies, where they will be able to overcome challenges they might face in this changing world, especially after the pandemic of Covid‐19, where there is reliance on the use of technology.TakeawaysThese findings aid in understanding the impact of the upskilling training programme on the development of the teachers' digital competence. Educators need to provide teachers with suitable online and face‐to‐face training that meets the teachers' needs. However, understanding the difference between upskilling and reskilling training programmes is vital to delivering training that develops the teachers' capabilities.

Achievements and prospects for the application of artificial intelligence technologies in medicine: an overview. Part 1

On a global scale, a radical transformation of the healthcare sector is taking place right before our eyes. Health care systems in many countries are changing at an incredible pace under the pressure of innovative digital platforms that have gained popularity under the names of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). AI systems, powered by massive amounts of data collected from everywhere, are able to guarantee optimal decision making for key players in the healthcare industry, from the pharmaceutical industry to the smallest healthcare providers. This article presents the results of the analysis of achievements and prospects for the use of innovative digital technologies and platforms in modern health care. According to international experts in medicine, it is possible to automate 36% of functions, primarily at the levels of data collection and analysis, and the use of AI technologies can significantly increase the gross profit of firms and organizations in relation to medical activities. There is no doubt about this since information has already become the main driver of management across all sectors of the global economy in general and in the health care sector in particular. The main motivations for the penetration of AI into health care are the escalating costs and the urgent need to limit them, the problem of poor-quality diagnostics (up to 30% of ongoing studies turn out to be unreliable or are misinterpreted) and the desire for standardization and automation of routine functions up to the creation of self-managed diagnostic models. However, the biggest challenge for AI in healthcare is not whether these technologies will be useful enough, but how to ensure that they are quickly and efficiently implemented in everyday clinical practice.

Digital university: rethinking the model framework within stakeholder theory

The COVID-19 pandemic, which triggered an avalanche-like transition of universities to a remote work format, not only identified new conditions for organizing pedagogical and administrative processes in universities, but also updated the topic of digital technologies in research projects and publications. The framework of the “digital university” model, for the implementation of which the state provides subsidies, consists of four blocks: management systems based on data; digital educational technologies; individual educational trajectories; competence of the digital economy. In general, the development of a framework for a digital university model is aimed at solving specific problems that are fully justified, and their solution seems to be extremely necessary, but in a sense they can represent only the first stage in the development of a digital university as a phenomenon of a new era. The introduction of technological innovation into the ritualized practices of universities is, in fact, a response to past challenges. To rethink the framework of the model, its enrichment and refinement, the theory of stakeholders (stakeholders) was used. The main stakeholders are: the state; University management; administrative staff; teaching staff; researchers and laboratory assistants; educational support staff; technical staff; students; parents and legal representatives of students; applicants; parents and legal representatives of applicants; foreign universities and their representatives in the university administration; foreign faculty; foreign students, graduate students and doctoral students; employers; investors; mass media (primarily regional); public organizations. The needs of stakeholders are considered, as well as possible digital solutions. The article substantiates that the traditional use of a digital device without the actual use of innovative digital technologies does not make higher education digital in the literal sense of the word.
