Authors: Starosta Volodymyr
Published: December 2024

The global Covid-19 pandemic has contributed to the accelerated development of distance learning in higher education institutions and, as a result, distance synchronous and asynchronous advising using various digital tools has become widespread. The aim of the study is to identify and compare the views of students, PhD students regarding the convenience and effectiveness of academic advising in the conditions of traditional/auditory and distance learning. The author conducted an anonymous online survey Google Forms of 3037 respondents (140 PhD students, 2897 Bachelor and Master students) during 2020-2023; used IBM SPSS Statistics 23 for statistical analysis. Research shows that convenience and efficiency of academic advising improves in the direction (the mean values of convenience, efficiency and the corresponding percentages with a sufficient and high level for each academic advising form): auditory individual advising – students (M=3,38; 46,5%) → PhD students (M=3,95; 70,0%); auditory group advising – students (M=3,32; 45,2%) → PhD students (M=3,62; 60,7%); distance advising – students (M=3,32; 44,2%) → PhD students (M=3,73; 60,0%); written advising – PhD students (M=2,44; 21,4%) → students (M=2,58; 18,6%). All researched groups of respondents (students and PhD students) have maximum convenience and effectiveness in auditory and distance advising, and the least in written advising (departmental/auditory stands). The analysis shows similar results in dynamics over four years for all compared student groups according to various characteristics (gender, year of the survey, specialty, educational level, form of study) advising improvement in the direction of written → distance, auditory form. Calculation t-test shows that in most cases there are no statistically significant differences (p≤0,05) in the convenience and effectiveness advising between all independent samples of students in the following cases: for all forms academic advising to various characteristics (educational level, gender and most other; level of educational achievements for distance advising). The study found an upward trend in the rating traditional/auditory advising for students with sufficient and high levels of academic achievement.

Published: December 2024

The article deals with the experience of using web-based ICT in the study of literary criticism at the Educational and Scientific Institute of Philology of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and the Faculty of Ukrainian Philology, Culture and Art of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University. The strategy of involving ICT in the educational process of the discipline was developed in accordance with the needs of the courses "Critic in the modern literary process" by Nina Bernadskaya (Educational and Scientific Institute of Philology of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv) and "Genres of literary criticism" by Snizhana Zhygun (Faculty of Ukrainian Philology, Culture and Art of Borys Grinchenko Kyiv Metropolitan University). The purpose of the article is to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of web-based ICT tools in the study of the discipline “Literary Criticism”.

The results. Based on the description and analysis of the possibilities of using such samples of web-based ICT as tag clouds, memory cards, Padlet interactive board, Google forms, social networks and mailing list blogs, it is concluded that the use of these applications during the study of literary criticism contributes to the formation of analysis skills of literary and critical texts; structuring the analyzed problem and the text being created; audience monitoring and approbation and promotion of texts. The presented strategy of involving ICT in the teaching of literary criticism is aimed at forming a comfortable learning environment capable of transforming into a professional one. The study of new formats that have emerged and exist on the net helps students to better understand the modern literary-critical process and begin to build their reputation as a specialist. The assessment of this strategy as positive is based on the growth of students' involvement in the educational process; improving the quality of preparation for classes due to the availability of materials in the group; a variety of techniques in students' critical texts compared to previous years. As the negative consequence of using this strategy, it is worth paying attention to the passivity of introverted students when performing tasks that require interaction with strangers. However, it does not prevent the further application of this strategy in the teaching of literary criticism.

Published: December 2024

The use of digital technologies in the modern digital space is becoming increasingly important for various professionals. However, mastering these technologies is challenging without formal and informal supervision of these skills, which is related to their rapid development and high flexibility. The research aims to identify professionals' needs for supervision and develop recommendations for improving their digital literacy. We analyzed the state of digital technology skills and experience in implementing supervision to improve digital-technological competencies among social and educational professionals. The empirical study was conducted across educational spaces and social centers in Zaporizhzhia and the Zaporizhzhia region. The survey addressed the assessment of digital technology skills and experience in implementing supervision for digital technologies. The research results showed that many educational professionals are aware of the proposed applications and programs. Special attention was paid to questions about using large language models such as Chat GPT, Gemini, and Claude for optimizing work responsibilities. The research findings indicated that most respondents do not use them. Part of the empirical research was devoted to analyzing informal supervision practices. We examined the statistics on formal and informal supervision among colleagues regarding digital technology use over the past five years. Through questionnaires, it was established that although most respondents positively evaluate their computer skills, certain competencies still need further development. Supervision serves as an effective tool for bridging these gaps, though its application in Ukrainian realities has certain peculiarities. The research results can be used to develop professional development programs, promote supervision as a form of professional development, and formulate recommendations for supporting the development of professionals' digital competence.

The article dwells on the problem of using artificial intelligence (AI) by primary school teachers in planning English language (EL) lessons. The relevance of the work lies in the need to update the system of teacher training for lessons based on the use of AI, as well as the need to take into account the social demand for the use of AI in the educational process and to ensure an individualised approach to each primary school student in EL lessons. The study's conceptual framework is the theory of pedagogical design by R. Gagné, individual approach to learning and the principles of AI integration in planning EL lessons. The purpose of the study is to examine teachers' views on using AI in preparing for EL lessons in primary schools and to outline practical ways to use AI in preparing for lessons by EL teachers in primary schools. The study is based on a mixed-method research methodology with the use of data triangulation. The results of the experimental study involving 26 practicing teachers are presented. It was found that, in general, respondents sometimes use AI, which is due to the contradiction between their high level of awareness of tools and programs and the existing difficulties in using these resources effectively. Based on the results of the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data, recommendations are outlined and a list of resources on the use of AI at each stage of lesson preparation according to R. Gagné's classification is compiled. Prospects for further research are to analyse ways to develop the effective implementation of the artificial intelligence module in the educational process in higher education institutions.

Published: December 2024

Speaking skill (maharah kalam) is one of the four main skills that must be mastered by students of the Arabic Language Education Study Program at Islamic universities. The main goal of learning speaking skill is to develop the ability to speak in Arabic fluently, effectively, and accurately. Students are expected to be able to express thoughts, feelings, and information clearly and relevant in a variety of communication contexts. But in reality, there are still students who encounter obstacles in the learning process of speaking skill so that the expected goals are not achieved, as happened to PBA IAIN Ternate students. For this reason, this article discusses the difficulties of students in learning speaking skill at PBA IAIN Ternate with those explored from the results of field research with a qualitative descriptive approach, where the data obtained through questionnaires and interviews are processed by library triangulation. The results show that students of the PBA IAIN Ternate study program are still experiencing difficulties in learning speaking skill, from linguistic and non-linguistic aspects. In the linguistic aspect, it can be seen in the difficulty of understanding vocabulary, stringing sentences, and difficulty in capturing information from the interlocutor. Meanwhile, on the non-linguistic side, it can be seen in the students' lack of confidence in communicating. This affects the achievement of the learning goal of speaking skill, which emphasizes communication skills using Arabic.

Cada texto tenta reconstruir pequenos momentos da história pessoal dos alunos, entrelaçando suas experiências subjetivas com elementos do cotidiano, como uma bicicleta, um ponto de ônibus, um pombo, uma partida de futebol, um dia na praia ou uma rua. Tudo pode se tornar motivo para a escrita de uma crônica. Ao escrever, o olhar sensível do cronista (estudante) nos convida a entrar em seu mundo e reviver sua experiência singular, revelando novas formas de perceber os eventos que vivemos.
Convidamos o leitor a explorar esse universo através das histórias e imagens que selecionamos com muito carinho e cuidado.

Este primeiro volume contém as crônicas escritas pela turma 1M1.

Published: December 2024

La presente tesis, titulada: “Descripción de la entonación en pacientes afásicos. Estudio descriptivo comparativo desde el sistema de notación prosódica Sp_ToBI” tiene como objetivo describir, demostrar y caracterizar la diferencia que existe en la Región del Biobío, Chile, entre los patrones entonativos de frases entonativas que consideran enunciados declarativos e interrogativos, producidos por hablantes normotípicos de español y pacientes diagnosticados con afasia no fluente. Las muestras de habla se obtuvieron mediante el uso del Spanish Questionnaire (Central Peninsular Spanish Version), adaptado al español por EstebasVilaplana y Prieto (2008) y entrevistas espontáneas, previa firma del consentimiento informado. La muestra incluye enunciados producidos por 10 hablantes normotípicos y 10 afásicos. Los procedimientos analíticos siguen el marco de la Teoría Métrica y Autosegmental (AM) de prosodia y el registro de los patrones entonativos obedece al sistema de transcripción prosódica ToBI (Pierrehumbert, 1980; EstebasVilaplana y Prieto, 2008; Prieto, Borrás-Comes y Roseano, 2010; Hualde y Prieto, 2015). Con el fin de alcanzar el objetivo propuesto, los análisis acústicos del corpus se realizaron mediante la observación de la curva de frecuencia fundamental utilizando el programa PRAAT (Boersma Weenink, 2014), el programa PHON (Hedlund Rose, 2019) y el programa OralStat (Cabedo, 2022). Los resultados arrojaron que existen diferencias significativas entre las producciones orales de normotípicos y afásicos tanto a nivel fonético como fonológico.

Exploring the Potential of AI algorithms in social media interactions: A hypothetical application owner's perspective
Authors: Elnaz Ghaffari
Published: December 2024

This exploration delves into the feasibility of using AI algorithms to facilitate personalized interactions on social media platforms, such as ‘'Formerly Twitter'’ , by analyzing likes, replies, and comments. The premise is that the owner of a hypothetical application could leverage AI to interpret a user's digital footprint, gaining insights into their personality through natural language processing of tweets and comments. This analysis could then enable the application to initiate personalized conversations and notifications, akin to a "rabbit hole" experience from the Matrix, creating a deeply engaging and individualized user journey. The potential and ethical implications of such technology are considered, highlighting the balance between innovation and privacy.

Published: December 2024

Gracilaria edulis belonged to the Gracilariaceae family. Gracilaria edulis was a type of red algae species. It was an edible seaweed present on the southeast coast of India. It was used as an alternative food supplement to fulfil the basic nutritional needs of humans. It acted against bacteria. It was analysed using the agar-well diffusion technique. In this work bimetallic (Cu-Zn) nanoparticles were synthesized. This aqueous extract acted as both a surfactant and a reducing agent. Then the nanoparticles were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, SEM, DLS, and XRD to identify the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles. Each characterization technique was used for various analyses of nanoparticles. The size, shape, and nature of the crystal were identified by SEM, DLS, and XRD techniques. The Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy technique was used to identify the functional group of the bimetallic nanoparticles. The UV-Vis spectroscopy technique was used to show the optical and chemical properties and formation of colloidal plasmon bands of the bimetallic nanoparticles. Then the bimetallic nanoparticles and aqueous extract were used to evaluate their antimicrobial activity. From there, we confirmed the bimetallic nanoparticles and aqueous extract are acted against bacteria and the bimetallic nanoparticles (Cu-Zn) had more properties compared to monometallic nanoparticles (Cu, Zn).
