Феномен развития профессионального образования в малом провинциальном городе России в конце XIX – начале XX века (на примере г. Череповца Новгородской губернии)

The article examines the image of a small provincial Russian town in terms of the development of its vocational education institutions at the turn of the 19th – 20th centuries. The aim of the study is to form a concept of the relationship between the activities of professional educational institutions and the progressive development of urban areas of pre-revolutionary Russia. The study refers to the history of the Alexandrovsky Technical School and the Cherepovets Women's Vocational School to explain the criteria for the intensive development of Cherepovets in Novgorod region and to justify the high level of urban culture development. Methods used include systemic, geocultural, historical, and cultural ones. The important historical role of the activity of mayor I.A. Milyutin, who initiated the key reforms in Cherepovets, is emphasized. The novelty of the investigation is in using rare archival documents, formulating and proving the author's hypothesis, and taking a comprehensive look at the problem of socio-cultural development of a small provincial town in pre-revolutionary Russia, with Cherepovets as an example. The relevance of this historical research of a regional nature is undeniable today, as it allows for combining the facts of the past with the present, helps to realize the continuity of events in urban life and highlight key national processes along with local and regional ones for a better overview of further development prospects. In the difficult socio-economic realities of the late 19th – early 20th centuries, the development of an educational commercial vocational education for all castes and both sexes with the possibility of compensating for tuition fees by trustees is rare, demonstrating the success of the economy and culture of a particular provincial city. The authors analyze curricula on the basis of local history sources, consider various everyday aspects of the organization of vocational education in Cherepovets, and demonstrate the challenges they had to cope with. The educational institutions under study were successful before the historical turn of 1917. At the end of the study, the hypothesis of the relationship between the development of vocational education institutions and the urban environment is substantiated. The culture of professional labor of Cherepovets has become one of the strongest traditions of a small town in the Novgorod province which later transformed into the industrial center of the Vologda region.

Подход к оценке особенностей профессиональной компетентности тьютора в условиях инклюзивного образования: пилотное исследование

<p style="text-align: justify;">The work solved the problems of substantiating the approach to the study of the features of the professional competence of a tutor (teaching assistant) in the conditions of inclusive education and conducting a pilot study of the basic components of competence: motivational-attitude, cognitive, behavioral, and reflective-evaluative ones. The methods used in international studies for studying subjective predictors of the implementation of inclusive practices by teachers served as a prototype for using a number of self-assessment tools in studying the basic components of tutor competence, including four questionnaires: ‘Attitude towards inclusion’, ‘Intention to implement inclusive practices’, ‘Efficiency of a tutor accompanying students with health deficiencies and disabilities in an inclusive education’, ‘Difficulties of the tutor in the implementation of tutor support in the conditions of inclusion’. The sample of this study is represented by 313 respondents (mean age 33.6±13.9; men — 9.6%, women — 90.4%), including 41 students of secondary vocational education organizations, and 272 students of higher education, among them there were 67 working tutors. All respondents answered the same questionnaires remotely using the ‘Anketolog’ system. Data analysis included an exploratory factorial analysis of each questionnaire, a check of their internal consistency, and a correlation analysis of relationships between all questionnaires. Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.76 to 0.94, which indicates sufficient internal consistency of the questionnaires. Correlation analysis confirms the nature of the relationships of the original questionnaires previously obtained in international studies. Factor analysis made it possible to identify both the ‘Intention to implement inclusive practices’ questionnaire and the ‘Efficiency of a tutor accompanying students with health deficiencies and disabilities in an inclusive education’ questionnaire, two factors each, reflecting the specifics of the work of tutors, which, apparently, can be associated with their support for the agency of students with disabilities. This possible sensitivity to this aspect of tutoring allows us to expect that these questionnaires can become a useful tool for studying subjective readiness and ability as components of tutoring professional competence of future and working professionals in an inclusive education environment.</p>

ВЗАИМОСВЯЗЬ МОТИВАЦИЙ ЛИЧНОСТИ И СКЛОННОСТИ К ДЕВИАНТНОМУ ПОВЕДЕНИЮ У ПОДРОСТКОВ, ОБУЧАЮЩИХСЯ В УЧРЕЖДЕНИЯХ СРЕДНЕГО ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНОГО ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ

The article reflects the connection of motivation with deviant behavior as one of the significant aspects of the study of the problem of adolescents’ deviation. The theoretical approaches presented in the article show that the violation of the motivational sphere of adolescents increases the risk of deviant behavior. The types of such motives are listed in the work. The author pays attention to the study of the relationship between personal motivation and the tendency to deviant behavior of adolescent students of secondary vocational educational institutions with the norm of behavior. On the one hand the adolescence is shown to be a sensitive period of development of the motivational sphere; on the other hand, admission to secondary vocational education organizations acts as a new social situation for a teenager. The ratio of these facts can increase the negative manifestations of deviant behavior. The aim of the study is to establish the relationship between the propensity for deviant behavior and the motives of students’ personality at educational institutions of secondary vocational education. The author describes the methods and results of the study, the purpose of which is to establish the relationship between motivation and the tendency to deviant behavior in adolescent students of vocational educational institutions. The diagnostic methods were the method of J. Nuttin (motivational sphere) and the questionnaire “DAP-P” (tendency to deviant behavior). The sample of subjects consisted of 44 first-year students studying at secondary educational institutions, whose average age is 15.8. Results of the method of J. Nuttin showed the severity of the motive of achievement, cognition, influence, dominance and focus on material values. According to the results of the questionnaire “DAP-P” students have an average level of tendency to deviant behavior. The r-Spearman correlation method has found correlations between the tendency to delinquent behavior as a form of deviant behavior and such motives as aggressiveness, focus on material values, power, dominating. This fact confirms our hypothesis. The analysis of the correspondence of the results obtained by the author with similar scientific research is carried out. Conclusions are drawn about the theoretical and practical significance of the work.

Субъективное благополучие выпускников организаций для детей-сирот в различных условиях проживания

The article is devoted to the outcomes of the first Russian study of subjective well-being in graduates of orphan organizations living in various settings: orphan institutions, specialized housing facilities, dormitories of vocational education organizations, as well as in rented or assigned housing. It is shown that the level of subjective well-being depends on the possibility of preserving the stereotypes of living arrangements and relationships formed in the orphanage: the lower the level of requirements for independence, and the real autonomy of housing, the higher the proportion of graduates with a high level of subjective well-being. It is proved that the graduates’ attitude to self is related to living conditions. Those graduates who live with constant pedagogical support are more satisfied with themselves as compared to other groups, cope better with difficulties and overcome stressful situations more effectively. Low resilience and high victimization are characteristic of those who return to assigned housing. Living in state housing is what promotes growing up the most, and so does renting a house on one’s own.

This paper serves as a reference for training organizations and policy makers to improve and monitor the service quality of vocational training organizations, elevate training effectiveness, and achieve the sustainability of vocational educations.

The importance of the School of Journalism of the Catholic Church in the system of the reform in Francoist Spain

This article deals with the issues of educating journalists during the Franco regime in Spain and the place occupied by the School of Journalism of the Catholic Church in this system. The first years of dictatorship were characterized by a strong subordination of education and occupation to the current interests of the state, which regulated access to the profession and education only within the framework of the State School of Journalism. In the second half of the 50’s there was a gradual liberalization of the system, consisting in the gradual admission of other entities to the organization of vocational education of journalists, especially the Catholic Church. This allowed for the launch in 1960 of the School of Journalism of the Catholic Church, the functioning of which was the first manifestation of the regime’s gradual withdrawal from state supervision over the process of educating journalists. The Catholic Church School referred to the pre-war, excellent traditions of the journalism school organized by the Catholic daily El Debate, becoming a kind of counterweight to the regime’s State School of Journalism.The competition between schools (although still slight at that time) contributed to an increase in the quality of education. The emphasis on the completion of general education or the design of curricula taking into account the development of information technology made it possible to equip students with competences required in the labour market, which previously could only be obtained to a greater or lesser extent in practice.

Discretionary Workplace Behaviors: The Effect of Communication Satisfaction on Workplace Deviance and OCB with the Mediation Role of Justice Sensitivity

Both workplace deviance (WD) and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) are noted as being discretionary behaviors that are rooted in social exchange and responses to the environment. This study aims to investigate the mediation role of justice sensitivity between communication satisfaction and discretionary workplace behaviors.

The results revealed that communication satisfaction has a positive effect on justice sensitivity, and justice sensitivity has a negative effect on workplace deviance. As well as, communication satisfaction has a direct effect on workplace deviance. So, justice sensitivity has a partial mediator role in significant impression of communication satisfaction to workplace deviance. The findings also indicate the justice sensitivity has a positive effect on OCB. But, communication satisfaction has no a direct effect on OCB. The results of this study yield that justice sensitivity has a full mediator role between communication satisfaction and OCB.

Human Capital for a New Technological Paradigm: Trajectories of Formation and Development

The article examines the problems and prospects of human capital development associated with the change of technological structure. Increased economic competition leads to a widespread increase in the requirements for the qualification of the labor force, while reducing the demand for labor. Employees with different competencies and a balance of "soft" and "hard" skills are becoming in demand than in the industrial economy. Uncertainty in the choice of professional development paths in these circumstances hinders the formation of human capital, which is typical for both developed and developing countries. Russia is no exception. The lack of coordinated positions of participants in social and labor relations on issues of professional standardization, organization of vocational education and training adds to the complexity. The emerging problems are determined both by objective processes (passing the stage of an innovative leap), and by formal and organizational grounds due to the peculiarities of the functioning of the sphere of professional education. The authors analyze possible ways out of the current crisis situation. In particular, initiatives related to the development of non-formal education are being studied, including talent development ecosystems and qualification reference platforms, corporate universities, some local solutions and practices.

ВЗАИМОДЕЙСТВИЕ ОБЩЕОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНОЙ ОРГАНИЗАЦИИ С ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНЫМИ ОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНЫМИ ОРГАНИЗАЦИЯМИ ПО РЕАЛИЗАЦИИ ДОПОЛНИТЕЛЬНЫХ ОБЩЕОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНЫХ ПРОГРАММ

Currently, schools are designed to ensure the quality of not only general, but also additional education for children. When organizing additional education in rural school, it is important to provide children with equal opportunities for comprehensive development with urban schoolchildren. This article considers one of the options for overcoming difficulties in organizing additional education in conditions of limited own resources. The article describes a mechanism for ensuring the availability of additional education for rural schoolchildren through interaction with vocational education organizations. The Law «On Education in the Russian Federation» allows the use of a network form for this, while the partnership becomes mutually beneficial, systematic and effective. The article contains a detailed description of all stages of the organization of productive interaction with the institution of vocational education for the implementation of additional education programs. The results of the development of programs by students based on the integration of general and additional education are listed, which, in turn, also allow us to fulfill the requirement of the federal state educational standard of basic general education about the need for vocational guidance of students. The article presents the experience of Otradny secondary school of the Uglich district in implementing additional education programs in partnership with Uglich Agrarian and Polytechnic College. The materials of the article can be used as a step-by-step instruction on the organization of interaction with the institution of vocational education not only rural, but also urban schools. The analysis of the questionnaire on the study of students ideas about professions is given.

Адаптационные аспекты социальной ситуации развития подростков в условиях обучения в организации среднего профессионального образования

The study aims at theoretical analysis and empirical identification of adaptive aspects of the social situation of adolescents' development to the new learning conditions. The article presents the materials of the first stage of the empirical study obtained on a sample of 1st-year students of the Moscow organization of secondary vocational education. The study involved 500 respondents aged 16 to 17 years, of which 92% were female. The study included measurements on 7 scales for 5-7 days. We used a projective closed method for assessing the formation of the components of educational activity (it includes two options: for boys and girls). The obtained data suggest that the natural process of adaptation of adolescents to the new conditions of college education is based on its complementary components. At the same time, entering a new situation of social development is accompanied by the emergence of a number of contradictions between the actual needs of a young person and the conditions for their satisfaction. The need to form a system of interpersonal relationships with both peers and significant adults (teachers) actualizes the need for self-affirmation, which is characteristic of the younger adolescence, the previous stage of personal development. The revealed contradiction leads to the formation of an uncertain professional picture of the world.
