THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVELOPING A NETWORK COMMUNICATIVE CULTURE OF THE FUTURE TEACHER

The article defines the meaning of the concept of transformation in accordance with the characteristics of various fields of science, clarifies the features of digital transformation for educational organizations. The levels of replacement, improvement, change and transformation of changes in pedagogical practice are determined, which are a clear manifestation of digital transformation in education. In addition, the role of communicative revolutions in the history of mankind is determined. The value of communicative culture is determined in the case of interaction between communication and culture. The communicative qualities of the individual, which form the basis of pedagogical relations, are studied. The meaning of the concepts communicative culture of the teacher, pedagogical communication, and intercultural communication is determined. The role of the components of the teacher's communicative culture in professional pedagogical activity is considered. The communicative culture of a teacher is defined as a set of cultural norms, knowledge and values, knowledge and skills used in the course of his personal and pedagogical communication, contributing to its effectiveness. As components of a communicative culture, it is based on the ability for interpersonal relationships, acceptance and respect for opinions, differentiation and presentation of arguments, discussion of problems, readiness to communicate harmoniously and politely with strangers. As a result of the rapid development of information and communication technologies, the Internet has had a positive impact on increasing access to information for education and teachers. The network communication direction of traditional communication theory is often discussed today in the focus of attention of researchers and scientists. The content of the ethical principles of communication on the Internet is specified through psychological, emotional, technical, decorative and administrative categories. In the article, pedagogical communication in the electronic environment is considered as a developing pedagogical scientific direction that studies the effective interaction of participants in the educational process in the electronic educational environment. The actual communication skills of the teacher in the context of digitalization of educational processes are systematized. The effective factors of using network communications in the educational space of higher education organizations are revealed. The effectiveness of the use of training technology in the development of a communicative online culture of future teachers is substantiated.

Training Technologies as a Means of Communicative Competences Development of Prejudicial Inquiry Agencies’ Investigators

The communicative component of the investigator’s professional activities is a dominant one, as it demonstrates the employee’s ability to organize work on the basis of professionally balanced communication with the objects of interaction. The stage of obtaining higher education in institutions with specific learning environment is a sensitive period for the development of the main sociogenic structures of personality and the development of professional identity of future professionals. This period is characterised by a purposeful mastering of the system of professional knowledge and skills, formation of a holistic view of the professional community, which results in awareness of professional readiness. The use of training technology in the training of investigators helps to increase the efficiency of the professional training process, based on the basic principles of personality-oriented education. The aim of our research is to study the process of formation of components of communicative competence in future investigators of prejudicial inquiry agencies with the help of training technologies. Appropriate psychodiagnostic tools were used to solve this purpose, which was tested during the training of specialists for prejudicial inquiry agencies. Most of the respondents stated the existence of satisfaction with participating in the training courses, awareness of the importance of its informativeness and practical orientation. Post-training testing emphasized the participants’ rethinking of the value of interpersonal relations; growing desire to help and show warmth and friendliness in relations with others; the expediency and effectiveness of the use of cooperation and compromise in resolving conflict situations within a professional and personal environment.

The influence of coaching efficacy on trust and usage of technology in golf instruction

The rise of technology in sport has provided coaches with another tool to aid athlete development, but there is little research on its relationship to coaching practices. Research in non-sport domains has demonstrated a relationship between user trust in and use of technology. The user's confidence can also affect this relationship, where higher confidence is typically associated with less technology use. Minimal work has examined factors that influence technology use within the sports domain; therefore, the present study sought to determine whether coaching experience and coaching efficacy could predict golf coaches' use of technology in training. A one-time survey that gathered demographic information, and measured coaching experience, coaching technique efficacy, trust in technology and use of technology was completed by 83 registered Professional Golfers Association golf coaches and instructors. Results showed that coaching technique efficacy was predictive of coaches’ use of technology in training, where more technique efficacy resulted in increased use of technology. Mediation analyses showed that this association was mediated by their levels of trust in technology. There was no relationship between coaching experience and use of technology. Therefore, coaching technique efficacy, rather than experience, seems to be an important variable in predicting coaches' use of technology in training and instruction. Further, because higher efficacy predicted increased usage, the results illustrate the differences between the sport training environment and other non-sport domains regarding the factors that influence technology use. These findings are an important first step towards investigating how technology can be used by coaches to best improve athlete performance.

The impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on Norwegian athletes’ training habits and their use of digital technology for training and competition purposes

Methods and technologies for practical competencies development in the field of industrial safety

In modern society, the final assessment of the result of the educational process is made by the employer, whose requests are focused primarily on professional qualities, which are based on the ability of a university graduate to make independent decisions in emerging industrial situations. Unfortunately, most of the existing content and technologies of training do not develop these qualities among students. In certain special areas of specialists training, the competencies developed in the educational institution do not allow the graduate to perform their official duties in the workplace in full. Unfortunately, such areas include the training of specialists in the field of industrial safety. Among the reasons for this situation is the creation of the education content without taking into account the requirements of regulatory legal documents in the field of industrial safety, the insufficient practical component of the educational process and the use of training technologies that do not allow to develop the required competencies. As a result, graduates who come to production still need a considerable amount of time to develop all the necessary competencies. Moreover, the resources of the enterprise, the actual working time of the specialist and other personnel are already spent on making up for these knowledge and skills not acquired at the university. In a situation of shortage of personnel, the presence of untrained specialists at a dangerous production facility increases the risk of accidents and incidents, with various social and economic consequences for society.

Significance of professional development of education leaders: Evidence from literature review

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to systematically review the literature on the professional development of educational administrators in the world, based on empirical and theoretical evidence with special reference to educational administrators and school principals in several countries. Design/Methodology: An interpretative analysis on literature covering professional development, pre-service training, in-service training programmes, mentoring, models of education leaders, coaching and the history of education in Sri Lanka and also the background information of the Education Administrative Service in Sri Lanka is carried out. Findings: Training and professional development date back to several centuries and it was found that the influence of imperialists, mainly the British was dominant in the Sri Lankan modern education system and professional development programmes. Sri Lanka continues to implement training and development with the least changes in contents and scopes compared to the past. It was further found that authorities paid little attention to the effectiveness of the training and development but rather were concerned about the compliance requirements. At present, education leaders undergo training programmes, and improvements in leaders are also seen at varying degrees. The study finds that educational leaders who are good at leadership skills and competencies produce better results in terms of both students’ performances and school management. However, though the use of technology in training was trivial, the need for more sophisticated, comprehensive, and sustainable training for educational leaders for better performance is highlighted. Practical implications: Provision of training and development is perceived by authorities as a practice and not as a key driver of improving school performance and effective management. The outcome of the study can be used to further enhance and implement professional development and training programmes for educational leaders with an outcome-oriented approach. Therefore, the findings will help lay a foundation for policymaking and their implementation can be broadened to enhance the quality of education in Sri Lanka.

ВИКОРИСТАННЯ ПСИХОЛОГІЧНИХ ТРЕНІНГІВ ПІД ЧАС ПІДГОТОВКИ ПРАЦІВНИКІВ ПРАВООХОРОННИХ ОРГАНІВ

The article presents theoretical approaches to the definition of the concept of «psychological training» and the views of modern scientists on the use of training technologies in the training of law enforcement officers. Today, it is relevant and necessary to use modern psychological trainings for the development of personal and professional qualities of law enforcement officers. Psychological trainings include various methods of work: role plays, discussions, group problem solving, situation modeling, methods of feedback and reflection. The main advantages of the training are: development of a holistic system of such skills and abilities as the organization of positive interpersonal interaction in the community; acquisition of new knowledge about the future profession, development of skills and abilities to perform various types of communicative activities in standard and non-standard professional situations; instilling the ability to think critically and creatively in solving professional problems; analysis and selection of actions in professional situations; formation of personal judgments, assessments of the future profession; as well as teamwork skills. Psychotraining influences the increase of motivation to perform educational tasks and educational process, interests in subjects; contribute to a higher quality of knowledge acquisition and the purchase of new practical skills; adaptation of cadets to the conditions of study in the new social environment; solving a problem of a personal nature. In order to increase the efficiency of the process of education and training of law enforcement officers, as well as to create professionally necessary personal qualities, we propose to use them in the training of psycho-training staff. Such trainings can be: training of development of communicative skills, training of formation of emotional and volitional qualities, training of information security, training of psychological counteraction to information influence, training of formation of moral and psychological qualities, and also psychotraining of development of cases in critical and emergency situations.

Current trends in the training of social workers

The analysis of the program and normative documents of the republic in the field of social work showed that the level of training of social workers does not meet the needs of the social services sector. Changes in the so-cio-economic sphere, the attitude of society towards social work, international practice dictate the need for organizing work and training social workers, taking into account the requirements of a professional standard in this field. The presence of a professional standard in social work obliges educational institutions to bring the content of the educational program for the training of social workers in accordance with the requirements of the standard, focusing on the formation of professional competencies. The formation of professional com-petencies and the definition of learning outcomes requires the use of training technology in the educational process — case management. Case management is a technology that reflects the content of the labor function of a social worker.

FORMATION OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE OF FUTURE SOCIAL WORKERS BY MEANS OF TRAINING TECHNOLOGIES

The article substantiates the use of training technologies in the process of future social workers' communicative competence formation on the basis of theoretical substantiation of a scientific problem, the study of modern practice. The following methods were used to study the problem: theoretical and methodological analysis of literature sources in order to reveal the content, forms and methods of training technologies; included and indirect observation; retrospective analysis of the author's own experience. It was found that the training promotes the development of social workers analytical thinking and skills of competent decision-making in situations as close as possible to future professional activities, serves as an in-depth analysis of personal knowledge about themselves, as it receives new evidence of themselves that change their values. motives, attitudes, beliefs. Due to this, there is a rethinking of their capabilities and their communicative potential in the development of professional skills and their presentation. During the training session, the individual accumulates professional experience, which is guided in further similar real-life situations in solving professional problems. The communication skills that develop in future social workers during and after the training are described: the ability to establish contact with the client; ability to psychologically correct and, depending on the situation, to enter into communication; ability to balance emotional tension in conversation; ability to stimulate the client to clarify his position, proposals; ability to argue their point of view; ability to stimulate client activity; the ability to convey to the client information that he heard and understood and others.

ФАСИЛІТАЦІЯ ЯК ОСНОВА ТА МЕХАНІЗМ ЕФЕКТИВНОЇ АДАПТАЦІЇ ІНОЗЕМНИХ СТУДЕНТІВ

According to the results of theoretical and methodological search for ways and methods of effective adaptation of foreign students, it has been established that in modern social and geopolitical conditions the problem of adaptation is quite urgent, its solution requires analysis of actual issues arising in the process of personality implementation into a new socio-cultural environment and activity, creation of appropriate diagnostic tools, use of training technologies, specific organization of the educational process, etc. and, in general, a comprehensive approach in order to ensure effectiveness of adaptive influences. Implementation of adaptive influences based on the facilitative potential of the individual and the social environment, created dynamic model of facilitation, taking into account the adaptive facet of the general function of facilitation allows to adapt a person both by using active formative influences and by creating appropriate conditions for the development of foreign students’ adaptive abilities. Therefore, the aim of the article is to test the dynamic model facilitation in order to adapt students effectively. As the main methods of measurement there have been used “Test Questionnaire of Facilitative Potential of Personality”, “Method of Research of Meaningful Motivation of assistance”, “Diagnostic Method of Individual Differences of Personal Facilitative Ability according to Spheres of Manifestation” (M. Kazanzhy) and “Scale of Social and Psychological Adaptation” (K. Rogers, R. Diamond, adapted by A. Osnitsky).The training work included elements of overcoming “language barriers”, implementing into the student environment, mastering the basic norms of the new sociocultural environment and activities, engaging foreign senior students in the process of adaptation of first-year students, forming a stable positive attitude towards the future profession, etc. Adaptation of foreign students was based on the created dynamic model of facilitation and comprised identification of the facilitator and facilitatee’s intentions, actualization of all components of the facilitation potential of the individual, involvement of the appropriate potential of the environment, manifestation of facilitative ability in certain spheres of vital activity or their complex, influence of the specifics of facilitative ability manifestation on the process of facilitation, display of different facets of the facilitative ability general function, as well as the impact of personal characteristics and situational factors.The validation of the developed training included measurements of social and psychological adaptation before and after the forming influences, as well as the facilitative qualities measurements. The statistical significance of the changes, confirmed by the calculation of the Student’s t-test for the dependent and independent samples, has proved the effectiveness of the developed training aimed at adaptation of foreign students.

A review of virtual reality videogames for job-training applications

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are considered as crucial elements in educational processes, as they constitute relevant and necessary tools in the search for higher levels of socioeconomic development. In this context, ICTs have raised the challenge of finding pedagogical models that maximize their impact on teachers and students. The Business Services and Management Center of the SENA Regional Antioquia has a wide range of technical training programs, for a rapid immersion into the labor market, which implies the use of training technologies to ease the understanding of theoretical concepts and the practice of technical procedures. In addition, these programs require the development of skills allowing their students to perform correctly in the workplace. Considering the above, videogames arise as an alternative tool for training operations. This article presents a review of training tools based on virtual reality, focusing mainly on the design of the game elements and their dynamics, which can contribute to magnify user experiences. Moreover, we present some projects showing success stories in the learning process and discussing the impact of the elements and game mechanics.

POLICY SERIES: THE HRSA GERIATRICS EDUCATION INITIATIVES: A POLICY AND PROGRAM UPDATE

This session will address the evolving work of Geriatric Workforce Enhancement Programs (GWEP) to educate and train the primary care workforce and partner with community based organizations to address gaps in healthcare. The inaugural GWEP awardees were announced at the 2015 White House Conference on Aging. In November 2018 the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), released the second GWEP Notice of Funding Opportunity (NoFO). The new funding opportunity reflects current policy priorities. In addition, for the first time in 9 years a Notice of Funding Opportunity was released for the Geriatric Academic Career Award (GACA) program. The return of the GACA program indicates the success of advocacy efforts to increase programs to support geriatric training and the development of geriatric academic professionals. Individual symposiums will explore the policy priorities reflected in the GWEP NoFO including the use of technology for training and care delivery, the age-friendly healthcare and dementia-friendly community initiatives, and value-based care including improving partnership with community based organizations. Additionally, an individual symposium will present the GACA program and discuss the advocacy process leading to the reintroduction of this program. During the last congress advocates of the GWEP and GACA programs supported authorization and funding of geriatric programs. Geriatrics programs describing the work of the GWEPs and GACAs were reinserted into the legislative process, although this reauthorization was not completed. This advocacy process garnered strong bipartisan and agency support. The session will describe these efforts and will conclude with an update on current authorization and appropriation status.

DIDACTIC POTENTIAL OF TRAINING TECHNOLOGY IN DEVELOPING ENGLISH-SPEAKING STRATEGIC COMPETENCE OF FUTURE TRANSLATORS

Foreign language education of specialists in the field of translation requires the use of intensive technologies that take into account the strategic basis for the development of a professionally oriented communicative competence of future translators, in particular, the professional education of translators in oral forms of translation (synchronous and consecutive). Effective in the light of the above mentioned, the research has proved a methodology that involves the use of training technology. The article explores the essence of the training technology and outlines its didactic potential for the development of English-language strategic competence in future translators. The efficiency of this technology has been proved in view of a number of advantages for the professional foreign language education of specialists in the field of translation, in particular, the possibility of simulating the situations of professional activity of the training participants, systematization of acquired knowledge, formed habits, skills, and partial competencies, ensuring a rapid pace of learning activity, awareness of the level of one's own professional competence, outlining the ways of personal professional self-development. All of the above mentiioned aspects determine the achievement of the maximum didactic result for the minimum academic time spent. The article proposes and describes an indicative training program for the development of English-language strategic competence of future translators consisting of five blocks of the so-called micro-trainings (memory training, training of switching from one language to another, training of the pace of speech, training of compression and deployment of text, multilingual conference training), each of which presents examples of typical exercises and tasks for students to perform during individual and group work while accomplishing training sessions. The range of translation strategies the formation of which is aimed by a particular micro-training has been determined
