Published: September 2023

Flooding is a natural occurrence hazardous to people and properties and produces environmental and economic losses, especially in flood-prone areas. This study will be used to assess flood risk in the Bangko and Masjid watersheds. To analyze it, flood hazard mapping is arranged by slope, land cover, elevation, rainfall, buffer zone, and soil type, which is done with the help of a Geographic Information System (GIS), specifically QuantumGIS (QGIS). This system tool assesses each variable utilizing satellite spatial data and categorizes the vulnerability being very high, high, medium, low, and very low. Each map arrangement value is combined using an overlay value to determine the flood susceptibility. According to the mapping results, the Bangko and Masjid watersheds are highly vulnerable to flooding. Based on the results of the mapping, in the Bangko watershed 61% of the total area is vulnerable to flooding, and 20% has high to very high vulnerability, while in the Mosque watershed 84% of the area is vulnerable to flooding and 11% of the total area has high vulnerability. to very high. After validation of areas that are often affected by floods, it is known that these areas are in vulnerable to very vulnerable areas. This is due to the low watershed elevation and flat slope and high rainfall, as well as residential areas close to the river in the watershed. This is due to the watershed's low elevation and flat slope and the high rainfall, and the residential area close to the river in the watershed area. Hence, it is vital to establish a convenient and straight-off understandable flood hazard map that emphasizes the management mitigation effects.

Authors: Utari Ade Paramitha , Hasan Muhammad , Adlim Muhammad , Elisa
Published: September 2023

Bland learning is one of the causes of students' inability to explore freely by prioritizing self-regulated in each learning process. The POGIL model is an approach that makes students free to explore every step of the learning process with the teacher serving as a helpful facilitator. This research aims to look at the correlation between increased self-regulated and conceptual understanding in colloidal material with the POGIL model. The increase that occurs does affect each other. The results in this study experienced an increase in conceptual understanding, with a mean of 70.09 in the experimental group and 51.21 in the control group. At the same time, the increase in the value of students' self-regulated was 84.59 in the in the experimental group and 72.37 in the control group. Pearson product-moment correlation analysis was obtained at -0.243. This study concludes that learning using the POGIL model effectively increases learning self-regulated and conceptual understanding. The correlation of these two variables is interpreted as a negative correlation or an indirect relationship (inverse).

The headline complex of a radio programme as a meta-text indicator (based on survey data)
Authors: Nesterova Natalia Georgievna , Oreshkina Anastasiya Aleksandrovna
Published: September 2023

The aim of the study is to ascertain the extent to which the elements of the headline complex of a radio programme effectively perform the function of a meta-text indicator, that is, to determine whether the potential addressees can guess the range of themes presented in the programme after familiarising themselves with the elements of the headline complex. Evaluation of the success of a radio programme’s title, hashtags, annotation, illustrations posted on the radio station’s website and on its public page in a social network was determined on the basis of data obtained during surveys of potential listeners. The headline complexes in the programmes and podcasts of radio stations of different formats were used for the surveys: Radio Rossii, Radio Mayak and Dorozhnoye Radio. The scientific novelty of the study lies in developing and testing a survey methodology that offers a consistent verification of the role of verbal and visual elements of the headline complex. The conclusions about what causes unsuccessful radio communication at the stage of the listener’s perception of the header complex are also novel. The results showed that potential addressees do not always correctly guess the range of themes of a radio programme based on one or more of the presented elements of the headline complex. The function of a meta-text indicator in a radio programme is performed by the headline complex most effectively in the totality of its elements.

The presence of concomitant cardiac pathology exacerbates the course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and worsens the prognosis for both conditions.
Objective — to improving the efficiency of diagnostics and treatment in patients with arterial hypertension and COPD, adding L-arginine to the complex therapy.
Materials and methods. A clinical examination was performed on a total of 140 patients, consisting of 82 individuals with arterial hypertension complicated by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and 58 patients with isolated hypertension. Each group was further subdivided into subgroups based on their treatment regimen, which included basic therapy alone, basic therapy along with co-existing pulmonary disease management, and a subgroup receiving basic therapy combined with L-arginine supplementation.
Results and discussion. The course of the diseases was more severe in patients with combined pathology. An acute drug test with arginine showed a decrease in blood pressure in both the small and large circles of circulation along with changes in endothelial function. Three months after the complex treatment with L-arginine resulted in the decrease of pressure in the small circle of circulation, had an effect on the structural and functional changes of both ventricles, diminished manifestations of diastolic dysfunction of the heart, increasing the physical activity and endothelium-dependent vasodilation, reduced the activity of anti-inflammatory cytokines in patients with hypertension and COPD. The inclusion of L-arginine as a functional corrector of endothelial function to the basic therapy of patients with arterial hypertension and COPD contributes to the improve­ment of the clinical condition of patients, normalizes blood pressure and its daily profile patients after 3 months of treatment, thereby enhancing their quality of life.
Conclusions. L-arginine, as a pathogenically selected donator of nitric oxide, along with basic therapy of essential hypertension and COPD improved the state of the heart and vessels and should be used for treat­ment both diseases.
The Significance of Reconstructive Tracheal and Bronchial Surgery in the Context of Malignant Pulmonary Tumours

Published: September 2023

Lung cancer holds a prominent position in the malignant mortality rates. Despite the rapid advancement of pharmacological approaches to the lung malignancy treatment, surgical interventions remain relevant and pertinent in contemporary practice. The choice of an appropriate therapy for local lung cancer presents a particularly acute dilemma. This issue gives rise to contradictions as it necessitates a tailored approach for each individual case. In such instances, the only radical treatment methods for lung cancer involve surgical interventions, namely pneumonectomy and lobectomy/bilobectomy. The preference leans towards lobectomy, given that this choice mitigates disability, thereby enhancing the patient's quality of life. Organ-preserving surgery holds a distinct significance for patients with compromised functional reserves, where complete lung resection is intolerable. However, at the time of identifying centrally located lung neoplasms, tumors or metastatic lymph nodes often extend to the orifices of the segmental and main bronchi. A lobectomy is feasible only with the resection (wedge-shaped or circumferential one) of the main bronchus and subsequent bronchoplasty. Tumor invasion of the pulmonary artery presents a formidable obstacle to organ-preserving surgery.In cases where pneumonectomy is intolerable, bronchoangioplastic lobectomy/bilobectomy stands as the sole viable radical intervention. Pneumonectomy with wedge-shaped or circumferential resection of the trachea, followed by tracheobronchoplasty, represents one of the most intricate procedures in thoracic surgery. However, when the tumor extends to the tracheal bifurcation, only this operation allows for a radical surgical approach. Notably, in circumstances where the tumor (carcinoid) affects the main bronchus, partial circumferential bronchial resection with subsequent bronchoplasty becomes feasible. Thus, the entire pulmonary ventilation capacity is preserved. Clinical observations of such procedures have been documented in patients with diminished functional reserves.

Published: September 2023

We present our own observation of the multifocal tuberculosis with pre-extensive drug resistance (pre-XDR-TB) development in a patient who was treated in the pulmonary tuberculosis department No. 2 of the Zaporizh­zhia’ regional phthisio-pulmonology clinical treatment and diagnostic center. Multifocal pre-XDR-TB developed in the patient 2.5 months after the initial diagnosis of destructive disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis. The patient was treated during 2 months with deforming arthrosis, which turned out to be tuberculosis of the left knee joint until the specified changes in the lungs were detected, which indicates its late diagnosis. The patient was not tested for HIV infection when tuberculosis was detected in the primary care, and after 2.5 months it was firstly found and accompanied by severe immunosuppression (CD4 lympho­cytes count was 94 cells). This fact also indicates a late diagnosis of HIV infection. As a result of untimely diagnosis and treatment of disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis in the pre-XDR-TB patient with combined HIV infection, there was a rapid generalization of a specific process with the development of multifocal tuberculosis involving not only the bronchopulmonary system, but also the left eye (focal chorioretinitis), the heart (exudative pericarditis), brain (meningoencephalitis) and the left knee joint. The presented clinical case also shows the irresponsibility of the patient to his healthy and the poor work of the family doctor in explaining to the patient the importance of timely tuberculosis treatment. Thus, in the described clinical case, a late-diagnosed HIV infection with severe immunosuppression may have been the trigger for the development of multifocal tuberculosis with extensive drug resistance in the patient and untimely treatment of disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis led to rapid generalization of the specific process. More responsible work of family doctors with tuberculosis patients is also necessary. Therefore, timely diagnosis of multifocal tuberculosis and the earliest appointment of antimycobacterial therapy will allow not only to achieve positive results in treatment, but also to prevent the complications’ development.

Authors: İLHAN Gülçe
Published: September 2023

Pome fruits including apples and pears widely recognized species and shows rich morphological and biochemical properties. However, the studies on the other pome fruits including quince are scarce in literature. Quince is one of the most diverse specie in the pome fruits and, in particular, its fruits are rich in bioactive compounds. Türkiye, China and Uzbekistan are leading country for world quince production. Due to self-pollination characteristics, it is possible to obtain high quality quince genotypes from seeds. In this study, some important fruit properties of ten seed propagated quince genotypes naturally found in Aras valley, located in the eastern Anatolia region of Türkiye were investigated. The genotypes differed each other for most of the morphological, biochemical and human health promoting properties. Fruit weight were in range of 205-389 g among genotypes. Seven genotypes were found pear-shaped (pyriformis) and the rest of the genotypes were apple-shaped (maliformis). Fruit firmness ranged from 5.12 kg/cm2 to 8.30 kg/cm2, respectively. Fruit skin Chroma and Hue values were found between 47.34-65.67 and 71.98-89.17, respectively. SSC (Soluble Solid Content), Vitamin C and total phenolic content of the genotypes ranged from 9.7-13.4%, 4.2-11.2 mg per 100 g FW (fresh weight), 290–432 mg gallic acid equivalent per 100 g FW, respectively. This work constitutes an important step in the conservation of quince genetic resources in the eastern Anatolia.
Use of the resistivity indicator for evaluation of the cooking readiness of coke (review).
Authors: Shulga I.V. , Vladymirenko V.V.
Published: September 2023

The article provides a review of scientific information on the use of the resistivity index to assess the readiness of coke, which is ultimately determined by the degree of orderliness of the macromolecular structure in the form of graphite-like blocks. In this process, coke acquires semiconductor properties and its resistivity decreases. Coke for modern blast furnaces using pulverized coal should have a minimum resistivity of 0.1 ohm∙cm or less. For other applications (in particular, in ferroalloy production), the resistivity of coke should be higher. It has been shown that the most acceptable method for an objective assessment of the resistivity is the two-probe method of measuring the resistivity of coke powder, a representative sample for which is obtained with minimal time and labor. The main factor that affects the resistivity of the coke produced is the final coking temperature, i.e. this characteristic is indeed an objective indicator of coke readiness. With the increase of the final coking temperature, the supramolecular structure of coke is streamlined, which in a certain way approaches the structure of graphite, and this leads to a decrease in the resistivity of coke. It is concluded that it is necessary to theoretically analyze the processes that lead to changes in the electrical conductivity of coke. This will make it possible to reasonably determine the nature of the dependence of the coke resistivity on the final coking temperature. Determination of the numerical parameters of this dependence, in turn, will make it possible to establish a rational level of the final temperature for coke production for various applications, which is of great practical importance. Keywords:hard coal coke, electrical resistivity, coke readiness, blast furnace coke, ferroalloy coke. Corresponding author І.V. Shulga, e-mail: ko@ukhin.org.ua

Introduction to transfer learning and pre-trained fashionsSwitch-getting-to-know and pre-trained fashions have revolutionized the field of deep learning, allowing the development of notably accurate and efficient machine-getting-to-know systems, even if faced with limited statistics and computational assets. These techniques have been pivotal in the success of various programs, from photograph popularity to natural language processing. In this newsletter, we will delve into the fundamentals of transfer mastering and pre-trained fashions, exploring their significance and impact inside the world of synthetic intelligence.The essence of switching is gaining knowledge ofAt its core, transfer studying is a device-mastering approach that leverages knowledge received from one mission to improve the performance of every other related undertaking. Think of it as the technique of transferring information from a supply domain to a target domain. In traditional machine getting to know, models are skilled from scratch for every specific task. Switch getting to know, on the other hand, takes a specific approach—it capitalizes at the idea that what a model learns from one mission can be beneficially implemented to a distinctive however associated task.
Comparing Maximum Likelihood and Pseudo-Maximum Likelihood Estimators for the Ising Model
Authors: Keetelaar Sara , Sekulovski Nikola , Borsboom Denny , Marsman Maarten
Published: September 2023

The Ising model is one of the most popular models in network psychometrics. However, statistical analysis of the Ising model is difficult due to thepresence of its intractable normalizing constant in the probability function.As a result, maximum likelihood estimation using the exact likelihood is onlypossible for small graphs, and approximation methods are needed for largergraphs. Two popular approximations of the exact likelihood are the jointpseudolikelihood (JPL) and the disjoint pseudolikelihood (DPL). These approximations yield consistent estimators, but we do not know how well theyperform for finite data. In this paper, we investigate the relative performanceof parameter estimation methods based on the two approximations and compare them to maximum likelihood estimation using the exact likelihood. Weperform an extensive simulation study comparing the estimators in termsof bias and variance. We show that maximum pseudolikelihood estimationbased on the JPL is a stable estimation method that is able to accuratelyapproximate the maximum likelihood estimates, but that maximum pseudolikelihood estimation based on the DPL only works well for large samplesizes.

Published: September 2023

Combined action observation and motor imagery (AOMI) facilitates corticospinal excitability (CSE) and may potentially induce plastic-like changes in the brain in a similar manner to physical practice. This study used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to explore changes in CSE for AOMI of coordinative lower-limb actions. Twenty-four healthy adults completed two baseline (BLH, BLNH) and three AOMI conditions, where they observed a knee extension while simultaneously imagining the same action (AOMICONG), plantarflexion (AOMICOOR-FUNC), or dorsiflexion (AOMICOOR-MOVE). Motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitudes were recorded as a marker of CSE for all conditions from two knee extensor, one dorsi flexor, and two plantar flexor muscles following TMS to the right leg representation of the left primary motor cortex. A main effect for experimental condition was reported for all three muscle groups. MEP amplitudes were significantly greater in the AOMICONG condition compared to the BLNH condition (p = .04) for the knee extensors, AOMICOOR-FUNC condition compared to the BLH condition (p = .03) for the plantar flexors, and AOMICOOR-MOVE condition compared to the two baseline conditions for the dorsi flexors (ps ≤ .01). The study findings support the notion that changes in CSE are driven by the imagined actions during coordinative AOMI.

Phenotypic Variation of Component Traits Affecting Maturity in Cultivated Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Authors: Chu Ye , Marasigan Larissa , Holbrook Corley , Hovav Ran , Ozias-Akins Peggy
Published: September 2023

A wide range of time-to-maturity exists among peanut accessions and cultivars, and it is a complex trait likely controlled by many genes and influenced by the environment. Underground formation of fruit coupled with indeterminate growth habit makes peanut a difficult crop species to explore genetic controls of this trait. Dividing the total phenotype of time-to-maturity into component traits can facilitate the dissection of genetic pathways controlling maturity in peanut. In this study, component traits contributing to time-to-maturity included flowering on the main stem, flowering rate, flower-to-peg conversion ratio, internode length, distribution of reproductive and vegetative nodes, branch numbers, percentage of harvestable pods, and harvest index, which were quantified for six genetically diverse peanut genotypes. Statistically significant differences were detected for all measured traits among the tested genotypes. These genotypes are parental lines of four established recombinant inbred populations. Populations with contrasting parental phenotypic values could be utilized for further QTL mapping of the relevant traits.
The Tatar layer of words in the system of kinship terms of the Besermans
Authors: Maksimov Sergey Anatolyevich
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study is to identify and systematize the terms of kinship of Tatar origin in the Beserman dialect. The terms of kinship in the Udmurt language are relatively well studied. However, the terminology of Tatar origin as a separate lexico-semantic layer has not previously been considered in publications. Meanwhile, the study of such vocabulary can help shed light on the problems of the ethnogenesis of the Besermans, which is very important. This study was carried out mainly on the basis of T. I. Teplyashina’s monograph “The Language of the Besermans” and her field notes. The goals were achieved using descriptive and statistical methods, as well as the method of etymological analysis. Thirty-two Beserman terms of Tatar origin were identified and systematized, which allowed a new look at Besermian-Tatar contacts. In one of the periods, Besermans and Tatars had very close relationships up to interethnic marriages. The presence of special terms denoting the relatives of the husband among the Besermans, which are absent in other Udmurt dialects but correspond to the terms of the Chepetsk Tatars, may indicate that not only Besermian women married Tatars, but also Tatar women married Beserman men.
Lake Svetloyar in modern sacred discourse
Authors: Matlin Mikhail Gershonovitch , Efimova Arina Dmitrievna
Published: September 2023

The purpose of the article is to identify the features of the sacred discourse of Lake Svetloyar. The material of the analysis is the texts of interviews taken from residents of the village of Vladimirsky and guests who visited this place, video content posted on the YouTube social network, publications in the media dedicated to the lake. The conducted discourse analysis reveals the peculiarity of the sacred discourse of Lake Svetloyar today as a complex and conflicting combination of Orthodox discourse, the discourse of neo-pagans, representatives of new age, individual religiosity, as well as the excursion activities of employees of the Museum and Tourist Complex “Grad Kitezh” in the village of Vladimirskoye. The article concludes that for all of them Lake Svetloyar is a natural sacred space, one of those in Russia in which either the Russian national and cultural identity, or the spiritual uniqueness of all mankind, or the source of individual “cultivation of the spirit” is most strongly manifested. The results of the study confirm that Lake Svetloyar, as one of the most important sacred spaces in Russia with a corpus of various narratives revealing its special nature and status, with a complex of ritual practices formed around it, remains significant and actively functioning in the modern socio-cultural space.
Diabetic Retinopathy Classification Using Swin Transformer with Multi Wavelet
Authors: Dihin Rasha Ali , AlShemmary Ebtesam , Al-Jawher Waleed
Published: September 2023

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) impacts over a third of individuals diagnosed with diabetes and stands as the leading cause of vision loss in working-age adults worldwide. Therefore, the early detection and treatment of DR can play a crucial role in minimizing vision loss. This research paper proposes a novel technique that combines Wavelet and multi-Wavelet transforms with Swin Transformer to automatically identify the progression level of diabetic retinopathy. A notable innovation of this study lies in the implementation of the multi-Wavelet transform for extracting relevant features. By incorporating the resulting images into the Swin Transformer model, a unique approach is introduced during the feature extraction phase. The researchers conducted experiments using the publicly available Kaggle APTOS 2019 dataset, which comprises 3662 images. The achieved training accuracy in the experiments was an impressive 97.78%, with a test accuracy of 97.54%. The highest accuracy observed during training reached 98.09%. In comparison, when applying the multi-Wavelet approach to multiclass classification, the training and validation accuracies were 91.60% and 82.42%, respectively, with a testing accuracy of 82%. These results indicate that the multi-Wavelet approach outperforms alternative methods in the study. The model demonstrated exceptional performance in binary classification tasks, exhibiting high accuracies on both the training and test sets. However, it is important to note that the model's accuracy decreased when employed in multiclass classification, emphasizing the need for further investigation and refinement to handle more diverse classification scenarios.

Learning institutions in the Philippines employed online distance learning using the synchronous approach for real-time interaction among learners and teachers. While the arrangement is exploratory and contingent, and responsive to the continuity of learning during the pandemic, its impact remains uncertain. This is of interest including the teaching-learning process in online classes with regard to the domains of Community of Inquiry focusing on the cognitive, teaching and social presence. In generating data, this study utilized focus group discussions involving junior high school teachers (N=15) from public and private schools who tackled questions anchored on said domains. Codified and categorized according to themes, the respondents revealed that personal and professional gains are considered as benefits of online classes but retorted that financial, technical as well as teaching learning support are among the challenges. Learning tasks and skills application draw attention under the cognitive arena, while technology, support for learner engagement and student engagement strategies warrant emphasis under teaching presence. Modes of interaction, interaction resources and approaches to ensuring belongingness underpin the areas under social presence. Results further showed that the affordances and challenges faced by the teachers may be translated into opportunities for innovation, growth, and development.

Published: September 2023

This instrumental case study aimed to understand the development of a sense of community in a fully online course that was offered during the COVID-19 pandemic era. The study further aimed to examine how the particular course elements supported community-building processes. The data were collected through a survey of the sense of community index and semi-structured interviews conducted at the middle and end of the semester. Our findings showed that the four community elements –reinforcement, influence, membership, and shared emotional connection– were all present in this course, although to varying degrees. They also indicated that the adapted course elements for the online modality supported the community-building processes. The implications of the findings for the design of more effective online courses were discussed.

Стаття присвячена розгляду можливостей формування іншомовної комунікативної компетентності засобами автентичних німецькомовних текстів – карикатур. Враховуючи інтереси та потреби сучасного покоління Z, автори демонструють дидактичні переваги використання автентичних карикатур на уроках іноземної мови, зокрема німецької. Зауважено, що автентичні карикатури відображають національний характер носіїв мови та містять великий обсяг лінгвокраїнознавчої інформації, який надзвичайно цінний у вивченні іноземної мови.

Проаналізовано особливості креолізованих текстів та розглянуто переваги їх використання на уроці іноземної мови. З’ясовано, що креолізовані тексти, поєднуючи у собі вербальну та невербальну площини, містять потужний потенціал для формування мовної, мовленнєвої та соціокультурної компетентностей, здатні відтворювати особливості мовного середовища, підвищувати рівень мотивації здобувачів освіти, стимулювати до активної діяльності на уроці, розвивати критичне та творче мислення тощо.

Визначено поняття «карикатура», яке розглядається як зумисне пародійне, сатиричне чи гумористичне зображення (переважно графічне) події або людини; різновид графіки. З’ясовано, що головною ознакою карикатури є прихований гумористичний, подекуди іронічний або ж саркастичний характер, а її завдання – візуальний вплив на читача.

Автентична карикатура ілюструє не лише типові ситуації спілкування, містить розмовну лексику, автентичні граматичні конструкції та інші мовні особливості, а й віддзеркалює соціокультурну, морально-етичну інформацію, зокрема культурні реалії країни та народу. У дослідженні продемонстровано послідовність роботи із автентичною карикатурою на уроці німецької мови, які передбачають такі етапи: Beschreibung (опис), Interpretation (інтерпретація), Bewertung (оцінка).
ПРОБЛЕМИ НАВЧАННЯ ХОРЕОГРАФІЇ В АМЕРИКАНСЬКИХ ШКОЛАХ
Authors: БІДЮК ДМИТРО
Published: September 2023

Стаття присвячена дослідженню проблем навчання хореографії в американських школах. З’ясовано, що тривалий час навчання хореографії в державних і приватних школах мало периферійне значення або позиціонувалося переважно як позанавчальна діяльність (в межах занять навчальних програм мистецтва або фізичного виховання). Зазначено, що в хореографічній освіті американських школярів спостерігається певна неузгодженість, що спричинено низькою професійною кваліфікацією педагогів та їхньою недостатньою готовністю до викладання хореографії в школі. Проаналізовано напрями освітньої політики американського уряду щодо удосконалення стандартів шкільної освіти, змісту навчальних  планів та освітніх програм, а також якості підготовки вчителів хореографії. Вивчено та узагальнено зміст навчальних програм шкільної освіти у контексті виокремлення мистецтва хореографії як основного предмету. Констатовано, що вагомою проблемою навчання хореографії в школах є неузгодженість змісту навчальних програм та нечітке обґрунтування критеріїв оцінювання результатів навчання. З’ясовано, що американські педагоги беруть до уваги той факт, що запровадження танцювальної хореографії у школах сприяє розвитку творчого мислення учнів, лідерських якостей, психологічному комфорту та здоров’язбереженню. Виявлено, що залишаються дискусійними питання щодо розроблення стандартів вищої освіти, сертифікації викладачів хореографії в кожному штаті, обґрунтування вимог до отримання ліцензії, уніфікації та  стандартизації термінології, законодавства, удосконалення освітньої політики штатів, а також умов фінансування тощо. Зроблено висновок, що хореографічна освіта в усьому світі стикається з загальними проблемами: «Хто має навчати?», «Хто має навчати вчителів і чого вони мають навчати?». Роль сучасного вчителя-хореографа полягає не лише в навчанні танцювальних кроків, а радше у свідомому управлінні можливостями учня за допомогою навичок навчання танцю.
ПРОГРАМА МІЖНАРОДНОГО ОЦІНЮВАННЯ РІВНЯ ВОЛОДІННЯ ІНОЗЕМНОЮ МОВОЮ PISA: ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ТА ПЕРЕВАГИ
Authors: САДОВЕЦЬ ОЛЕСЯ
Published: September 2023

У статті обґрунтовано необхідність оцінювання знань учнів з іноземної мови за міжнародними стандартами та показниками. Охарактеризовано суть міжнародної програми оцінювання рівня володіння іноземною мовою PISA, впровадження якої планується у 2025 році.

З’ясовано, що для об’єктивного оцінювання рівня володіння іноземною мовою, PISA розробила когнітивну систему оцінювання відповідно до Загальноєвропейських рекомендацій з мовної освіти, щоб результати можна було інтерпретувати відповідно до загальноприйнятих рівнів володіння іноземної мови від А1 до С2. Програма також базується на соціально-когнітивному підході до оцінювання іноземної мови та перевірки тестових завдань.

PISA оцінює загальні та мовно-комунікативні компетентності (лінгвістичну, соціолінгвістичну, прагматичну), комунікативні види діяльності (сприйняття, відтворення, взаємодія, посередництво) та відповідні комунікативні стратегії для успішного комунікативного використання іноземної мови. 

Описано процедуру забезпечення об’єктивного оцінювання, а також особливості підбору завдань для усіх оцінюваних видів мовленнєвої діяльності (читання, слухання, говоріння).

З’ясовано, що для покращення якості викладання та навчання іноземних мов PISA розробить ряд опитувальників для вчителів, учнів, директорів та батьків, а також проведе опитування на рівні управління освітньої системи, які дадуть змогу зібрати інформацію про організацію та реалізацію процесу викладання та навчання іноземної мови на всіх рівнях. Зібрана інформація буде проаналізована разом з даними про рівень володіння іноземною мовою, отриманою за допомогою тестування, для забезпечення всебічної картини факторів, які впливають на вивчення іноземної мови у школі та за її межами. Питання в опитувальниках стосуються: відповідної освітньої політики на рівні адміністрації шкіл та місцевих органів управління освіти; профілів учителів та їх підготовки; процесу навчання учнів; процесу викладання.

PISA оцінюватиме результати за допомогою спеціально розробленої шкали на основі Загальноєвропейських рекомендацій з мовної освіти (CEFR) для забезпечення простої та адекватної інтерпретації результатів освітянами та іншими стейкхолдерами.
