Based on the findings, several directions of future research for both countries were suggested.
An analysis of the English language teaching anxiety of non-native pre-service elementary school teachers in micro-teaching sessions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the English language teaching anxiety of non-native pre-service elementary school teachers(NNPSEST). 61 NNPSESTs participated in the present study. The data was collected by using the English language teaching anxiety scale(ELTAS), an instrument developed to measure teaching anxiety of NNPSESTs in micro-teaching sessions. In addition to the ELTAS, the reflective papers submitted by NNPSESTs were also analyzed and coded according to the frequency of strategies used to overcome their anxiety. The results of factor analysis revealed that the teaching anxiety of NNPSESTs consisted of the following four major factors: anxiety on teaching capability, anxiety on coping ability, anxiety on English competence, and anxiety on evaluation. Some factors had significant relationships with NNPSESTs-related variables as follows: The anxiety on teaching capability was significantly higher for female NNPSESTs than male NNPSESTs; In terms of the level of teaching capability, NNPSESTs with intermediate level had the highest level of anxiety on their English competence; Although no significant differences in the English language teaching anxiety were found among the groups classified by their English competence, the strategies for overcoming the anxiety were used most frequently by NNPSESTs with lower level of English competence. Some suggestions for further research were included.
Utilization of Outdoor Activity to Improve Non-Science Background Students’ Understanding of Science Concepts

It is necessary to expose university students to certain science or engineering related courses in Technology Management programme, irrespective of their backgrounds. Teachers and learners are frequently faced with challenges in the teaching and learning process due to insufficient exposure. Consequently, this article therefore investigates the impact of using learning object and learning activity on non-science students’ understanding of science concepts. An experiment was conducted by making use of two groups of students in Technology Management programme in a Malaysian university. The first group was not involved in any outdoor activities related to the concepts of speed, distance, and displacement while the second group was fully involved in outdoor activities related to the aforementioned concepts. The performances of both groups were compared at the end of the semesters. The descriptive statistics and analysis of variance revealed that students in the second group performed better than the students in the first group. A significant difference in the performance of the two groups was also emphasized by the analysis of variance. The findings therefore imply that the engagement of students with relevant learning objects or activities has high possibility of enhancing their understanding and facilitating knowledge transfer.
Study of Functional Mechanism of Technological Teacher Training Update

The problem of the study is in the fact that the organizational and pedagogical teacher training mechanisms at the universities do not always have a positive effect on the quality of the pedagogical education. The objective of the study was to develop a functional mechanism for technological teacher training update at the university. The methodology is based on the concept of key competence of Gary Hamel, associated with the development of management strategies based on a matrix of significant problems. A significant problem matrix was obtained, on the basis of which it was concluded that the functional mechanism for technological update is an organizational and pedagogical system that implements such functions as diagnostic monitoring, conceptualization, informatization and gamification, systematization and classification, forecasting and synergy, reflection, feedback, continuity. The significant problem matrix allowed to substantiate the relevance of using the certain technologies in the functional mechanism (system-target technology, structural and content technology, personalized technology, distributed technology, integrative technology, menter-technology, genius-technology, education gamification technology, innovative culture formation technology, foresight technology, pedagogical facilitation technology, noxological technology), criteria (personalized accentuation, cognitive accentuation, activity accentuation, employer’s satisfaction with training outcomes). The implementation of the functional mechanism at Kazan Federal University ensured the growth of the future teachers’ professional competence. The results obtained in the course of the study allowed to formulate the recommendations for the use of the functional mechanism for technological teacher training update at the universities.
Possibilities Of Assessing Cognitive Abilities Of Primary-Aged Children In Pedagogical Practice

In the educational process, cognitive abilities are emphasized not only in relation to the pupils school success, but also in relation to his / her positive motivation to learn. The aim of the theoretical contribution is focused on the possible diagnosis of cognition in children and on the method for determining the level of cognitive abilities in children and adolescents aged 7 to 16 years. The research method used is the analysis and comparison of existing research tools to determine the cognitive skills of primary school children. The diagnosis of cognitive abilities is predominantly within the competence of psychologists, so we see the possibility of using the Cognitive Skills Test in School Education as an important option. The content of the test allows a series of measurements of pupils abilities to use and operate abstract symbolic relationships. The method is described and compiled so that it can be used for better diagnosis of pupils and teachers of primary schools, for example, to correct or adjust the choice of learning material for the benefit of the pupil (individualization of teaching).

Recurrent Neural Network Architectures for Vulnerable Road User Trajectory Prediction.

We present an experimental study comparing various Recurrent Neural Network architectures for the task of Vulnerable Road User (VRU) motion trajectory prediction in the intelligent vehicle domain. Making use of temporal motion cues and visual appearance features, we design multi-cue RNN-based architectures with dedicated optimization process to predict future moving trajectories from historical consecutive frames. Experiments are performed on image sequences recorded from on-board a moving vehicle and public tracking datasets. In particular, the Tsinghua-Daimler Cyclist Benchmark (TDCB) has been augmented with additional annotations (vari-ous VRU types) to support the evaluation of object tracking approaches and trajectory prediction methods. This newly introduced dataset is termed TDCB-Track. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed RNN architectures on the public MOT16 dataset and the TDCB-Track dataset. We show that the proposed approaches outperform simpler baseline methods and stay ahead with the state-of-the-art.

Professional Standard of a Teacher in Extended Education: Goals and Implementation Issues

In the modern world, scientific and technological progress, the development of production and technology, as well as the changing labor market require the constant development of the professional skills and competences of an employee. Qualification directories, in turn, gradually become obsolete: neither they do not have any new professions at all nor their description does not correspond to reality. This is why it is needed to change the current system of qualifications by changing the system of professional standards. The need to develop and introduce professional standards was determined by Presidential Decree No. 597 of May 7, 2012 "On Measures to Implement State Social Policy." In accordance with this order, the professional standard is defined as a characteristic of a qualification necessary for the employee to perform a certain type of professional activity and is applied by: - employers when forming HR policy and management, in the organization of training and certification of employees, the development of job descriptions, work rats, the confement of tariff categories to employees and the establishment of wage systems, taking into account the specifics of work organization, labor and management; - educational organizations of professional education when developing professional educational programs; - in terms of developing federal state educational standards for vocational education according to established procedure. The implementation of a professional standard also affects the system of extended education. (Order of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation of September 8, 2015 No. 613N "On the Approval of the Professional Standard" Teacher of Extended Education for Children and Adults, "an order of the Deputy Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation V. Kaganov of April 29, 2016). The paper presents the results of a survey of teachers working in extended education in Kazan. The research objective is to study the teachers` opinion about implementing professional standard in their work, career growth and professional development with the help of our special questionnaire.

Psychological and Pedagogical Security of Educational Environment in Higher Educational Establishments as a Prerequisite for Successful Adaptation of First-Year Students

Successful adaptation of first-year students is a topical issue that has, so far, no complete theoretical or practical solution due to constant transformation of school and college education. While some first-year students typically do not go further than their first exams campaign, for many of them, overcoming the pitfalls and risks of their first year is fraught with severe stress, and results in poor adaptation to new conditions that may arise in future settings. One of the factors contributing to successful and fast adaptation to college is the psychological and pedagogical security of educational environment. However, the nature of educational environment and successful adaptation of first-year students are not directly related, but are interdependent: secure environment is a condition for optimum adaptation, while successful adaptation is a condition for psychological and pedagogical security of educational environment. The fundamental premise for creating a secure educational environment for students in their first year that would contribute to their successful adaptation is a person-centred approach built on the anthropocentric practices of learning and pedagogical interaction.

Optical Phase-Based Method for Dynamic Deflection Measurement of Railroad Bridge

The development of highly reliable structural health monitoring techniques with low-cost is essential to ensure the safety of various aging infrastructures. To measure accurate deflection over the entire structure, in this study, the sampling moiré method is applied to two-dimensional displacement measurement of an old and long metal bridge by utilizing repeated pattern marker. The deflection measured from our method corresponded well with that measured from conventional contact-type ring displacement sensor. In addition, we can measure the deflection of the railroad bridge successfully by use of the repeated rivet patterns without any marker. The digital images of natural repeated patterns are analyzed through the sampling moiré method and the deformation is evaluated. This moiré technique features comparable accuracy to conventional one despite low-cost and easy setup. The aged deterioration of bridges can be diagnosed with deflection measurement at regular intervals. The developed measuring technique is expected to be widely applied to the inspection of various large-scale structures for infrastructure triage.
Securing Data in Compromised Clouds

Clouds store a lot of sensitive data. Traditional cloud security relies on building software walls around sensitive data to prevent attackers from breaking in. Nevertheless, attackers always manage to break in because software is complex and thus cannot be exploit-free. A line of cryptographic systems, however, departs from this approach, and provides security guarantees even when attackers have compromised the cloud. In this talk, I will survey a decade of such cryptographic systems, highlighting the main design principles and lessons learned, and pointing to the state-of-the-art systems that one can use today.
