EFs and Motivation Uniquely Predict Children's Academic Development in CIV
Authors: Finch Jenna Elizabeth , Wolf Sharon , Lichand Guilherme
Published: November 2021

The role of executive function skills and motivation in supporting children’s academic achievement is well-documented, but the vast majority of evidence is from high-income countries. Classrooms in low- and middle-income countries tend to be large, teacher-driven, and lecture-focused, which may provide extra challenges for children to stay engaged in the learning process. Based in self-regulated learning theory, we tested the contributions of executive functions and motivation for children’s literacy and numeracy skills over one school year. Our preregistered study of 2,500 primary school students in Cote d’Ivoire used cross-lagged models with a robust set of demographic covariates. Executive functions were directly assessed and children reported on their levels of motivation for schooling. Findings indicated unique effects of executive functions and motivation for changes in children’s literacy and numeracy skills over the school year. Overall, these results provide evidence for the importance of non-academic skills for children’s learning in a low- and middle-income context. Implications include improving the quality of primary school experiences to promote opportunities to practice self-regulation skills and increase motivation for learning.

This paper reports the results of the study on the adsorption - photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) on graphitic carbon nitride g-C3N4 and g-C3N4dispersed on diatomite with 5, 10, 15, and 20% loading (%wt). The bare g-C3N4 exhibits good photocatalytic activity for RhB degradation but weak RhB adsorption. The apparent kinetics of RhB photocatalytic degradation is of order 1/2 regard to RhB. Increasing adsorption - catalysis effect is observed as g-C3N4 is dispersed on diatomite. This potential bifunctional material is capable of both adsorbing and catalysing RhB treatment. The optimum g-C3N4 content on diatomite is 15%.

Using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis showed the marking temperature of coal tar pitch is 107.8°C. The thermal decomposition of the pitch is divided into three main stages, corresponding to three phases α, β, γ, with a coke yield of 47% at 800°C. The change in the XRD diagram showed a clear transition from the amorphous state of carbon to the highly ordered crystalline structure of graphite after treatment at 2,200 and 2,700°С. The purity of the pitch sample and the structure of the CCC carbon-carbon composite material after heat treatment at 2,700°C were studied using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy methods. The results showed that after heat treatment, the C content in the sample reached more than 99.5%, and the coke residues after graphitization were bound and connected to the carbon fabric into a mass of graphite material.

In this paper, WO3/Ag3VO4 photocatalysts were successfully synthesised at various Ag3VO4/WO3 mole ratiosof5, 10, 15, and 20%(WA-x). Ultraviolet-visiblediffuse reflectance spectra (UV-Vis-DRS) indicated that the adsorption capacity of WA-10 (10% Ag3VO4/WO3 mole ratios) under visible light was higher than that of other materials. The photocatalytic properties of obtained materials were investigated by degradation of the antibiotic AMX under visible light irradiation. The degradation conversation of AMX had gotten to about 79.86% in WA-10 after a reaction of three hours. WO3/Ag3VO4 materials were highly active than WO3 and Ag3VO4 with an increase in photocatalytic activity of WO3/Ag3VO4 that can be attributed to the efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs.

Published: November 2021

Un falso positivo en la ciencia, es un descubrimiento anunciado y luego rebatido; la historia de los falsos positivos ilustra el proceso científico y la cultura en la cuál éste está inmerso. En el anuncio de un descubrimiento falso juegan tanto las fluctuaciones estadísticas como los errores sistemáticos de los experimentos, la ambición de los científicos, y las expectativas y esperanzas de las comunidades investigadoras. También las prácticas y los estándares de revisión; en el camino a la construcción de un consenso científico hay obstáculos tanto de carácter social como metodológico. En el caso particular de las matemáticas tenemos el caso de la prueba fallida, en donde un error lógico o conceptual lleva al anuncio de un resultado correcto al que se llega por un argumento erróneo. En este trabajo se discute la historia de las demostraciones fallidas en matemáticas tal como es el caso de Vladimir Voevodsky, la controversia sobre el efecto Mpemba, el fiasco del exceso de difotones a 750 GeV en el Gran Colisionador de Hadrones, y el caso de deshonestidad científica de Jan Hendrik Schön.

The article presents the results of research on the effectiveness of self-knowledge activity in the teacher’s self-development. Self-knowledge is actualized as an opportunity for introspective interaction with one’s internal resources, which is an important factor in psychophysical health. The necessity for teachers’ awareness of the importance of self-knowledge and self-development in the scope of the “person-person” working is highlighted. Introspective appeal to the inner “I” gives a person the opportunity to understand and reveal their own resource (consciousness, emotions, feelings, desires, memory), that allows changing values, feelings, motivation, character, etc. and self-realize in a rapidly changing world.The author’s questionnaire “Criteria analysis of self-knowledge activity” with a description of the included criteria for the effectiveness of self-knowledge is presented. The results, according to specific criteria are analyzed, in particular: independence and diligence in self-knowledge, the dynamics of eight fundamental qualities of character during the accumulation of knowledge about themselves, the impact of self-knowledge on the health of respondents (for these health components and criteria healthy functioning), exemption from harmful habits, a subjective determination of the respondent’s achievements, which they associate with self-knowledge. The expediency of teachers’ self-knowledge activity has been confirmed, which allows considering it as a factor of their self-development, a lever of strengthening psychophysical health, social activities, creative self-realization.

FORMATION OF THE GLOBAL MARKET OF HIGHER EDUCATION SERVICES: COMPETITION OR COOPERATION
Authors: Zayachuk Yuliya
Published: November 2021

This paper presents an analysis of issues of contemporary processes related to global higher education dynamics. The paper is based on the analysis of research results of well-known researchers of global higher education reality, as well as on the author’s own research results within the Erasmus program. It states that new aspects of the mission of a university as an institution were added to such aspects as research, teaching and service, in accordance with social requirements. It also reveals that the concept of the world-class research university of the XXI century of Prof. P. Altbach and the model of the entrepreneurial university of Prof. B. Clark, which work in the conditions of growing competition between higher education, represent a new world higher education reality in the early XXI century. The paper reveals that the global market of higher education services has been established as an instrument of higher education changes. In this context, the traditional providers of educational services and the “new providers” compete for or complement the supply. The paper shows that the traditional providers of educational services are public and private universities. It emphasizes that University has become only one of the actors in the new “knowledge business” nowadays and discusses that recently we have witnessed the emergence of new types of higher education providers. The paper considers the emergence of new providers of higher education as indicators of the direction of higher education dynamics in the immediate future. These “new providers” include corporate universities, virtual universities and online courses, a certification system of competence in computer technology, commercial IT and media companies, networks of professional associations, national or international research networks, international conglomerates and consortia, and publishers, who are designing and delivering course materials, sometimes in partnership with universities. It is highlighted that to operate and develop in current higher education dynamics, universities should simultaneously compete, positioning themselves, and cooperate, overcoming obstacles by joint efforts with partners.
Keywords: higher education; higher education dynamics; market of higher education services; internationalization; World-class research university; entrepreneurial university; corporate university; virtual university; mixed mode training called Hybrid; providers of educational services.

Authors: Lysenko Galyna
Published: November 2021

The purpose of the article is to conduct a source analysis of archival documents of the State Archives of the Dnipropetrovsk region in order to determine their information capabilities for historical and pedagogical research. The use of historical and logical methods in the course of the study allowed us to move away from everything secondary and to distinguish the essential characteristics of the process under consideration. The application of the system method, in combination with the principle of comprehensiveness and complexity, made it possible to identify general and specific aspects of the studied archival funds, taking into account their place in the structure of the State Archives of the Dnipropetrovsk region and identify multifaceted links with other archival funds. The method of functional analysis in combination with the principle of origin provided the identification of the relationship between the functions of fundraisers and documentary information of the funds formed by them. Analyzed archival documents indicate the importance of using archival sources in historical and pedagogical research. The author claims that archival documents allow to “reconstruct” the historical environment, analyze causal links, determine the influence of party-state structures on the activities of higher educational institutions, and understand not only the level of training of scientific and pedagogical staff but also the ratio of disciplines and teachers of humanities and technical fields. Thus, the source analysis of archival documents of the State Archives of Dnipropetrovsk region helped to identify the main trends that accompanied the process of pedagogical training teachers of higher technical educational institutions of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.

Based on the analysis of the scientific literature as well as a comprehensive analysis of the practice of teaching and learning English in Ukraine and abroad, certain problems and challenges facing the methodology of teaching English today have been identified. The various methods and approaches developed today are an attempt to answer these questions.The United States and Europe became the founders of the so-called Epoch of Methods. During that period, such teaching methods as Total Physical Response, Suggestopedia, as well as Community Language Learning, Audio Lingual Approach were developed. The suggested approaches and methods differ in terms of their principles, understanding of the nature of language and features of the educational process, the role of teachers and students, learning goals, the ratio of target and native language. The list of methods and approaches is by no means exhaustive and reflects only a part of all variety of teaching English methodology.Among the most interesting methods we distinguish the TPR method (Total Physical Response). Nowadays, there are many published works of TPR and studies, which create an understanding of its long-term prospects. The most important skill is to understand new sentences when learning a foreign language.It was concluded that there is a need to diversify approaches to learning, focused on keeping students’ attention, encouraging them to active cooperation and ensuring student-centeredness in the process of teaching and learning, as well as stress-free educational environment.

MANAGERIAL ACTIVITY TO OVERCOME ANTI-INNOVATION BARRIERS IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Kravchuk Oksana
Published: November 2021

The implementation of pedagogical innovations becomes a required condition to enhance the quality of the education and competitive potential of an educational institution at the market of educational service, and it requires qualified management of its innovation activity. However, pedagogical employees stand against innovations, and in scientific literature it is called an anti-innovation barrier.The purpose of the paper is to consider the issue of overcoming anti-innovation barriers as a component of managerial activity in educational institutions.The work is aimed at coping with psychological barriers in educational institutions that can be made in the following directions: the change of value orientation of educators; the correction of motivation of the members of the teachers’ staff; the creation of new exemplars of individual behavior of educators; the formation of readiness of the members of the teachers’ staff for innovation activity.Systematic monitoring of educators’ readiness to accept innovations, its step-by-step studying should precede the implementation of all the mentioned directions. The administration of an educational institution is to organize explanatory and educational work on a regular basis, to provide pedagogical employees with comprehensive information about the performance of the educational institutions where successful implementation of innovations has taken place. A keystone of a successful introduction of innovations is the creation of “an innovation climate” – an external environment that forms educators’ attitude to innovations, to attract those educators who do not accept innovations to the planning of the stages of their introduction. The organization of the measures directed towards the increase of the professional competence of those educators who are involved in the implementation of innovation activity is a vitally important component in the management that is aimed at overcoming anti-innovation barriers. The task of the administration of an educational institution is to create the conditions, which will motivate teachers to improve their professional skills and to study an advanced experience.

Regional media platforms: Status, problems, prospects
Authors: Krapyvina Dar’ia A.
Published: November 2021

The purpose of the article is to analyse the current state of regional media platforms, identify development problems and justify solutions. Methodology. General scientific methods are used in the research. Among them are generalizations, comparisons, statistical analysis – to analyse views of the scientists on the current state of providing regional media platforms, identify development problems and justify solutions. Results. In the process of analysing the current state of regional media platforms development, an increase in the number of business entities in Ukraine that provide information and telecommunications services (in 2010–2018 from 55,977 to 174,622 units) was revealed. In general, the increase was due to an increase in the number of information services and computer programming, consulting and related activities. Considering the field of publishing, film production, radio broadcasting and television broadcasting, it is necessary to state the fact that during the study period, the number of subjects decreased significantly. This trend is observed due to the reform implemented in these areas. The leaders of the reform process are Kirovohrad region, where 25 out of 28 print media and editorial offices have been reformed, Zhytomyr (24 out of 28), Khmelnytsky (23 out of 27), Mykolaiv (22 out of 26), Poltava (26 out of 31), Ternopil (16 out of 21) regions. Outsiders of the reform process are Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipropetrovsk, Ivano-Frankivsk, Transcarpathian regions and the city of Kyiv. In particular, in Kyiv, according to the monitoring data, none of the 4 communal mass media was reformed, and in the Transcarpathian region, 3 out of 31 editions were reformed. The volume of sold products by enterprises of the type of economic activity “information and telecommunications” increased 3.8 times or by 200,727.1 million UAH. A significant increase in sales is observed in all areas, except for magazines and periodicals. This once again confirms our opinion that the majority of the population gets information from the Internet but not from print media. Therefore, the volume of sold products has decreased significantly. The main problems hindering the development of regional media platforms are presented. The main problems include: inadequate provision of the Internet access; low quality of traffic, content (no advertising market, no paid subscription) and fact-checking; the influence of the media founders on editorial policy; the dominance of hidden advertising. Practical meaning. These problems of media platforms will allow to form their development strategy. Prospects for further research. The study will substantiate the prospects for the development of regional media platforms in Ukraine.

Introduction: Infantile hemangiomas are the most common benign soft tissue tumors in pediatrics, with a general incidence of 3-10% of the population. The Hemangioma Severity Scale was formulated by Haggstrom et al 2012, to measure the severity of hemangiomas according to the identification of clinical variables, assigning morbidity values ​​associated with already published variables and in the clinical experience of experts on the subject. However, it has been designed and developed in the American population. Therefore, the objective of this study was to validate and translate the Hemangioma Severity Scale for its application in Mexican pediatric patients. Materials and methods: The hemangioma severity scale was applied by 2 expert pediatric dermatology subspecialists, and then the responses were compared using correlation indices by a statistician who was biased. Results: A coefficient was performed on the first item, an index of 0.714 was obtained. The following items obtained a 0.799 for the location, a 1 for the risk of structural abnormalities, 0.516 for complications, 0.298 for the item of pain and in the general risk and probability of deformation a kappa index of 0.670 was obtained. Conclusions: The application of the Hemangiomas Severity Scale in pediatric patients is a useful and reproducible tool with great clinical applicability in our population.
