FULL-TIME AND PART-TIME EDUCATION IN THE CONTEXT OF THE USE OF TRADITIONAL, BLENDED AND DISTANCE LEARNING: VIEWS OF STUDENTS, PHD STUDENTS, UNIVERSITY TEACHERS
Authors: Starosta Volodymyr
Published: June 2022

The urgency of the problem is due to the need to find the ratio of traditional and distance learning during the organization of full-time and part-time education. The purpose of the article is to study the views of bachelor and master students, PhD students, high school teachers on the organization of full-time and part-time education in the context of traditional (classroom, face-to-face), blended and distance learning in a classical university. Research methods: theoretical - in order to review scientific papers, formulating the conclusions of the study, etc. (analysis and synthesis, comparison, generalization, etc.); empirical - developing questions and conducting online surveys, pedagogical observation; mathematical - to process the results using the computer program IBM SPSS Statistics 23. The results of the study: we conducted an online survey of 1373 respondents in 2020 and 443 - in 2021. Online survey shows that respondents (in %, respectively bachelor and master students, PhD students, high school teachers) choose the following models of learning organization: full-time education - traditional (classroom, face-to-face) 24,8-29,3%, 12,9%, 20,3%; distance 4,9-7,9%, 2,1%, 0,6%; blended – 62,8-70,3%, 85,0%, 79,1%; part-time education: traditional (classroom, face-to-face) – 8,0-9,0%, 1,4%, 5,6%; distance – 12,4-18,5%; 10,0%, 4,3%; blended – 72,5-79,6%, 88,6%, 90,1%. Bachelor and master students of the same year of the survey express similar views on the choice of learning model for both full-time and part-time education. At the same time, a comparison of most other groups of respondents shows a statistically significant difference (p≤0,05) in such views. Respondents suggest more use of blended and distance learning in all cases, for part-time compared to full-time education.

Published: June 2022

The relevance of the chosen research topic is conditioned by the need for the theoretical and methodological support of the new «Specialized education standard in the scientific direction» implementation, in the process of the students' research competence formation. The purpose is lighting the structure, content, role of knowledge in the competence of a researcher and the determination of the value-motivational reasons for the formation of competence. The ground research methods are the analysis of domestic and foreign experience in reforming the education system, methods of analogy, moving from an abstract one to the concrete, the generalization of innovative scientific and pedagogical achievements. The article highlights the theoretical-and methodological and methodological aspects of the problem of implementing the «Specialized education standard in the scientific direction» in the framework of postmodern transformations. The carrying out analysis of the well-known definitions of the concepts «competency» and «competence», their essence and interrelation are revealed. Arguments about the structure of competence, its conditionality by the sociality of personalities are expressed. It is about a possess necessity of such competences as citizenship, morality, communication skills, etc. It is substantiated the reorientation necessity of curricula from a simple accumulation of disciplines disparate in the subject of study to a holistic comprehension of reality as the integration of natural and humanitarian knowledge, the need to rethink the very methodology of the educational process in favor of anthropocentrism, and the assertion of non-scientific spiritual values. It is noted the dominant role of ways to encourage students to get knowledge and research skills. The motivational factor for students should be the awareness of the competence effectiveness and its social significance. The condition for achieving qualitative competence is the coherence of internal and external motives. Reaching positive results in research activity is possible technologically in the project-based learning process. The study effectiveness lies in the conceptualization of key concepts «competency» and «competence», highlighting their structure and conditionality, as well as in the proposed recommendations about improving the curricula content.

Authors: Vansač Peter
Published: June 2022

The purpose of our article is to analyze the attractiveness of the profession of a teacher. In the theoretical part of the paper, we considered the status of an individual in the general context, namely innate and acquired status. Further, we focused on the roles of teachers that are performed in the framework of professional practice. We point out to the current crisis in the teaching profession. In the empirical part, we presented the study by the Institute of Educational Policy of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sports of the Slovak Republic on the attractiveness of the profession of a teacher. From the above study, we provided the answers of respondents to the questions: why did you decide to become a teacher? and why did you decide not to become a teacher? In the discussion, we presented both a positive view of the attractiveness of a teacher and the negative aspects of the professioan of a teacher. Our research demonstrates that respondents see the attractiveness of the profession of a teacher primarily in the fact that they can work with young people and thus pass on values to the younger generation. Further, the respondents’ response to the «joy of teaching certain subjects» indicates that teachers care about their self-determination. The main reasons why respondents do not want to become teachers are mainly low wages. In Slovakia, this is especially true for beginning teachers, whose salary is lower than the average salary of an economic worker in the Slovak Republic.

Authors: Vychrushch Vira
Published: June 2022

In the article the issue of organization of educational dialogue is covered in the plane of dialogicity and imperativeness, which determines its relevance. In the process of theoretical research based on content analysis it was found that in the edification of educational activities, educational dialogue can be considered from the standpoint of dialogue as one of the levels of interpersonal interaction, which is broader in content than communication, and as forms of teacher-student communication / professional training. An attempt is made to expand the idea of the possibilities of educational dialogue as a didactic tool aimed at forming a communicative culture of students. Based on the generalization of psychodidactic andragogical research, the rules of communication with adult students (D.Halpern), the principles of the Code of Controversy (N.A.Giro), methods and techniques of interaction of polycentric educational technology (J.Lorillard), analyzed the essential characteristics of student communication and communication , the communicative problems of young teachers in the organization of educational dialogue are outlined. Educational dialogue in its content is a kind of targeted activities included in the learning process and has such structural components as learning goals and objectives that meet the general pedagogical clearly defined learning objectives, content, subjects and rules of dialogue that ensure learning as a subject content. discipline and norms of social behavior. Thus, the educational dialogue can be called a system-forming element of personality-oriented learning, which organically combines independent research activities of students with the acquisition of ready theoretical and practical knowledge, and the system of methods is built according to the idea of problem-oriented learning. qualities, independent reflective and projective activities of students, as well as aimed at reviewing and enriching their worldview, developing new personal meanings and professional values.

Authors: Dmitriieva Oksana
Published: June 2022

The formation of the legal culture of the younger generation is an urgent issue nowadays. The formation of children's legal culture, a conscious attitude to the requirements and laws of society ensure their adequate behavior in various life situations, the ability to respond properly to social challenges. The changes taking place in Ukrainian society, including the process of building the rule of law, determine new requirements for the domestic education system. The process of teaching and education, including legal education, is designed to form students' ideas about modern civil society, its norms and values. The preparation for life, which is based on conscious and responsible implementation of norms and rules of behavior in society, is of great importance for pupils with hearing impairments. The purpose of our publication is to present the elements of the developed and tested program for the formation of legal culture of primary pupils with hearing impairment. Research methods: observation, study of the practice of educational institutions for children with hearing impairment; questionnaires, surveys. It was found that the majority of teachers have difficulty using sign language and need some guidance on how to interact with pupils with hearing impairments. That’s why we offer trainings on nonverbal communication and guidelines for teachers. The implementation of the presented elements of the program of legal education of primary school students with hearing impairments showed active interest and readiness to use them in the practice of teachers of special education institutions. We see the prospect of further research in the adaptation of the developed program and its implementation in institutions with inclusive education, where students with hearing impairments are educated.

Authors: Drach Iryna
Published: June 2022

Open science, based on high standards of transparency, cooperation and communication, is a priority for the development of research policy in the European Research Area (ERA) and the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The purpose of the article is to analyse the essence of Open Science, its goals and benefits, as well as the necessary changes for large-scale implementation of Open Science policy in universities. Methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, systematization of scientific works of foreign and domestic scientists and documents of EHEA and ERA are used. Open science is seen as a new approach to the scientific process based on collaboration and new ways of disseminating knowledge through digital technologies and new tools for collaboration. The main goal of Open Science is to improve the exchange, transfer and access to scientific knowledge. The advantages of Open Science are defined as follows: increasing the efficiency of science by reducing duplication and costs of creating, transmitting and reusing data; increasing transparency and quality in the process of confirming the reliability of research results; accelerating the transfer of knowledge, promoting a faster transition from research to innovation; increasing the impact of research results on the economy; a more effective response to global challenges that require coordinated international action; promoting the involvement of citizens in research, active participation in scientific experiments and data collection. It is concluded that Open Science, by maximizing the benefits of the free movement of knowledge, provides a movement towards the fifth freedom in Europe (along with the freedom to move goods, services, persons and capital). The transition to large-scale implementation of Open Science practice in universities requires changes that cover a wide range of academic activities at the institutional level and include: promoting increased knowledge transfer and cooperation between the academic and non-academic sectors; focus on knowledge transfer in the context of digitalization; optimizing the role of universities in research infrastructures.

The approaches, directions and means of realization of this phenomenon in higher education institutions have been presented in the article. The author's outline of the importance of forming the creative potential of students of art faculties in the process of their preparation for artistic activity and the content of the education process which ensures their readiness for future professions is the result of the study.
Poured from the Sky: The Story of Traditional Ecological Knowledge in Cérékang Forest Conservation
Authors: Muhammad Akhmar Andi , Rahman Fathu , Supratman Supratman , Hasyim Husain , Nawir M.
Published: June 2022

The Cérékang people are often used as an example of how Indigenous Peoples successfully carry out traditional conservation of customary forests. This article aims to investigate the conditions that sustain the forest conservation in Cérékang by using Berkes’s (2008) concept of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and Houde’s (2007) six dimensions of TEK as the framework. Data collections were obtained through literature review, direct observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions with key informants. The results of the study are as follows: First, the mythical construction around the area of forest is connected to their cosmology and stories of origin associated with the La Galigo epic, and the Cérékang people have developed protective attitudes towards forests consistent with the term “sacred ecology”. Second, such an attitude is endured by the ethics that respect the intimate relationship between humans, nature, and spiritual realms, which is subsequently manifested through prohibitions to enter the sacred forest except for ritual. This implies that the Cérékang people rely on symbolic knowledge, not technical knowledge, to protect the forest. The protected forest does not only provide cultural ecosystem services but also regulates services that indirectly benefit the Cerekang People such as flood prevention. Yet, the uncertain legal status of the sacred forest and the activities of a mining company around the area pose threats for continued conservation efforts. Consequently, to exercise direct control over the sacred forest area, new community organizations are integrated with customary institutions formed with support from NGOs, local government, and universities. This can be seen as their adaptation strategy to survive and conserve the forest amid ongoing challenges.
Variations in habitat metrics along plantation chronosequences: contrasting tree plantations in subtropical forest and grassland
Authors: Santoandré Santiago , Filloy Julieta , Zurita Gustavo A. , Isabel Bellocq M.
Published: June 2022

The increasing demand for raw materials favours habitat conversion into tree plantations in different biomes over the world. In Argentina, fast-growing plantations occur in physiognomically contrasting biomes, such as the subtropical forest and grassland. Our objectives were to analyze variations in basic habitat metrics and their similarity to the natural habitat along pine plantation cycles, and to compare those patterns between plantations developing in a subtropical forest and a grassland biome. In each biome we selected pine stands of eight ages to represent the environmental gradient of the forest cycle, and natural areas. At each site we estimated the temperature, thermal variability, relative humidity, and percentage coverage of herbaceous plants, shrubs and canopy. We explored environmental similarity between plantations and the natural habitat. In general, patterns of the environmental variables along plantation chronosequences were similar between plantations developing in different biomes. As expected, opposite patterns of similarity in most environmental variables between plantations and the natural habitat were observed along chronosequences developing in contrasting biomes. The time period of high environmental similarity between plantations and the natural environment was longer in the subtropical forest than in the grassland. Our results have implications for land use planning and biodiversity conservation.
Changes in the forest structure of the Bashkortostan Republic over two decades
Authors: Baiturina Regina , Gabdelkhakov Aydar , Gabdrakhimov Kamil , Yanbaeva Vasilina
Published: June 2022

This paper aimed to study the distribution of the main tree species in the Republic of Bashkortostan (RB) in a transforming climate and compare the results for the last decades. The analysis was based on the forest fund data, forest management documents, route surveys and field studies, and conducted by generally established forestry methods. The trial plots had identical soil conditions. The paper considers the impact of climate on the forest resources of the RB located at the junction of the Urals with the West Siberian Lowland, the Cis-Ural plain and steppe belt with diverse vegetation. The floristic composition of the republic is varied and includes about 1700 species of higher plants. Comprehensive research was followed by field results comparison. In 1998–2018, the area of soft-leaved species, primarily Betula pendula Roth and Tilia cordata Mill. increased by 70.8 (39%) and 74.2 thousand hectares (32%), respectively; the share of coniferous Picea and Abies declined by 57.9 thousand hectares – 15%, short-trunk Quercus robur L. lowered by 34% and the high-trunk one decreased by 6% and Acer by 8%. The conducted study suggests a significant increase in destructive insects. Spruce forests will suffer, because there is a reduction in the area by 20% over 20 years. Thus, there has been a gradual displacement of forest species. Forestry challenges and the sustainable ecological balance both in the republic and the planet as a whole require further joint efforts of scientific and environmental organisations and authorities for forecasting transformational processes and developing measures to address them.

Published: June 2022

Knowing and analyzing the effect of the successful implementation of forest management policies mediated by community empowerment by moderating a network of actors and stakeholder collaborations. This study uses a quantitative approach to examine specific populations and samples. The research instrument is a questionnaire. The sample in this study were 100 people around the KPHP Model Yogjakarta. The analytical tool used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) WarpPLS and IPA approaches. Communication, resources, environmental conditions, and relationships between organizations have a direct and significant effect on community empowerment, and the empowerment variable has a direct and significant effect on the successful implementation of forest management policies. The variables that do not directly affect the disposition and organizational structure variables do not significantly influence community empowerment. The influence of actor-networks and stakeholder collaborations as moderation which strengthens implementation of community empowerment and successful implementation is a novelty in research.
Optimizing the pine wood drying process using a critical diffusion coefficient and a timed moistening impulse
Authors: Tamme Hannes , Muiste Peeter , Tamme Valdek
Published: June 2022

This article demonstrates that it is possible to optimize the drying process for pine wood in two independent ways. Those ways involve either the use of the critical diffusion coefficient (DC) which is determined by the experiment shown below, and/or the drying air moistening impulse in the second drying phase. When processing data which has been gained from the pine wood drying experiment, both coincidences and differences were found when compared to the results from a simulation of the drying process which was carried out using the same drying schedule. There is a relatively good level of agreement between the drying experiment and the simulation results of TORKSIM v5.11 simulation program in the case of the simulated and experimentally determined drying curves. The magnitude of numerical values for the DC agrees with this finding, as do the wood's moisture profile in the final phase of the drying experiment at 142 hours, the simulated and measured wood surface temperatures from the beginning of drying to a point at 60 hours into the process, and the simulated wood stresses when compared with the maximum values for the electrical surface-core ratio (ESCR) graph, as determined by the experiment. It was found that the DC's numerical value decreases sharply by about 1.5 times after transitioning from the first drying phase to the second drying phase.

Beberapa tahun belakangan ini perkembangan smartphone sangatlah signifikan, berbagai macam fitur terbaru pun bermunculan yang membuat variasi dari penggunaan fitur multimedia dalam smartphone menjadi beragam jenis. Mulai dari Augmented Reality (AR) lalu Virtual Reality (VR) sampai ke 3D Hologram. Sampai saat ini kebanyakan media yang digunakan masyarakat dalam mengenal para pahlawan nasional Indonesia masih berupa buku cetak serta artikel daring yang memuat gambar dan teks saja. Oleh karena itu dibutuhkan keterbaruan dalam mengenal para pahlawan nasional di Indonesia agar minat masyarakat bertambah, yaitu dengan penambahan 3D Hologram interaktif pada media visualnya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode pengembangan perangkat lunak yang bersumber dari Luther-Sutopo yaitu Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) dengan melalui beberapa tahapan yaitu concept, design, material collecting, assembly, testing, dan distribution. Hasil dari pengujian aplikasi berdasarkan pada tahapan pengujian alpha dengan metode blackbox sudah baik sesuai fungsinya, dan pada tahapan pengujian beta dengan menggunakan kuesioner terhadap 50 responden didapat nilai 83,85% dalam interval “sangat baik” sebagai aplikasi yang layak untuk digunakan pengguna.In recent years, the development of smartphones has been very significant, various kinds of new features have appeared which have made various types of multimedia feature usage in smartphones. Starting from Augmented Reality (AR) then Virtual Reality (VR) to 3D Holograms. Until now, most of the media used by the public to get to know Indonesia's national heroes are still printed books and online articles that only contain images and text. Therefore, it needs renewal in getting to know the national heroes in Indonesia so that public interest increases, namely by adding interactive 3D Holograms to their visual media. The research method used in this study uses software development methods sourced from Luther-Sutopo, namely Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) through several stages, namely concept, design, material collecting, assembly, testing, and distribution. The results of application testing based on the alpha testing stage with the blackbox method are good according to its function, and at the beta testing stage using a questionnaire to 50 respondents, the value is 83.85% in the "very good" interval as a suitable application for user use.
