The Impact of Metacognitive Online Reading Strategies on Online Reading Disposition of Saudi EFL Learners
Authors: Yaghi Eyhab T.
Published: May 2021

The scientific knowledge related to online reading dispositions and factors affecting the occurrence of these dispositions is limited. Therefore, this treatise aims at studying the impact of metacognitive online reading strategies on online reading dispositions. To achieve this goal, the mixed method was employed using questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Students’ responses were keyed to AMOS software. The statistical analysis has shown students’ preference for utilizing support strategies to tackle the problems they might face while they engage with online materials. Reflection, as a disposition, was the most frequently reported by students through their responses to the questionnaires. Further, the results confirmed the impact of metacognitive online reading strategies on online reading dispositions, which was the aim of this paper. These findings provide a holistic understanding of the nature of the relationship between metacognition and dispositions, paving the way for further research that touch other aspects of online reading dispositions.

The main purpose of the study predetermines the main issue of the article: to show the importance of formation of a culture of working with information among students during distance learning, which means the ability to evaluate, perceive information, prevent manipulation, distinguish truth from falsehood. The main task is to assess the existing and desired level of this competence, to develop an organizational model of its formation which consists of the following components: goals and objectives, pedagogical conditions and evaluation criteria. The model was implemented simultaneously at the Drahomanov National Pedagogical University and National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” by teachers of humanities in experimental and control groups (16 people) in three stages: ascertaining, formative and final. A questionnaire and a self-assessment map of the formation of the culture of working with information were developed for the ascertaining stage; purposeful work with students was conducted (special tasks, discussion conversations, discussions) at the formative stage the results before and after the experiment were compared at the final stage in particular. Positive dynamics in the experimental group was noted, the average rate of formation increased. The proposed evaluation criteria – motivational, cognitive and activity ones have demonstrated practical value. It is advisable to recommend their use at other faculties. It is concluded that the organizational model is effective. The prospect of the study is the scientific substantiation of the implementation of the model among a wider range of students and the development of a distance specialized course.
Developing Elementary EFL Learners’ Procedural Knowledge and Strategic Awareness in Reading Classes during the Covid-19 Pandemic: Algerian Teachers’ Challenge
Authors: AMMOUR Kamila
Published: May 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected educational systems worldwide, leading some scholars to scrutinise the consequences of lockdown and school closure on learners’ learning habits and teachers’ teaching practices. In this regard, this paper aims to explore the teachers’ challenges while implementing a reading strategy-based instruction for beginners during the Covid-19 pandemic, taking the Algerian middle schools as a case in point. It highlights the difficulties to achieving quality in developing learners’ procedural knowledge and strategic awareness in EFL reading classes. The leading approach to the issue is the interactive approach. To attain the objective of the research, the qualitative method was adopted. Classroom observation and structured interviews were used to collect data. The population targeted was composed of 20 teachers from 16 middle schools in Tizi-Ouzou. The collected data were subjected to qualitative content analysis. The results of the study reveal that most teachers are aware of the importance of reading strategy-based instruction. However, they do not teach them systematically or consistently. Indeed, lack of targeted teacher training, time constraints, and disregard of metacognitive instruction are likely to be obstacles to the efficient implementation of reading strategy-instruction. Furthermore, the Covid-19 pandemic has thrown up several psychological and cognitive learners’ difficulties, including decreased motivation and lack of cognitive focus, making the teaching process more challenging. The results imply a need for a revision of teachers’ professional development programs and a re-consideration of the elementary EFL courses.
Engaging Students Online with Technology-Mediated Task-Based Language Teaching
Authors: Vellanki Surya Subrahmanyam , Bandu Sasidhar
Published: May 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic effected a sudden shift to online teaching, prompting teachers to implement many uncommon or even unusual teaching techniques in this unforeseen context. This precipitous move to online teaching has radically altered our teaching practices, where teachers have had to either completely do away with traditional practices or modify them in significant ways. One of the primary concerns of online teaching voiced by many teachers is to hold students’ interest and keep them engaged in the virtual classroom. Another challenge has been to make students interact with each other and the teacher. The authors of this paper believe that Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) addresses these concerns head-on. There are two reasons for this: first, its emphasis on real-life language through meaningful tasks; and second, it is student-centered. This paper provides a brief background of TBLT and technology-mediated TBLT. It will show how some coursebook materials could be used in TBLT to help online learners improve their language skills. The paper also outlines with examples how technology-mediated tasks could be deployed to encourage learners to use language in productive ways. Finally, the authors discuss some of the anticipated challenges concerning the application of TBLT in online teaching and learning contexts.
The Dialect of Hasawis and Bedouins in Al-Ahsa (Saudi Arabia): A Comparative Study
Authors: El Salman Mahmoud , Al Fridan Abdullah
Published: May 2021

Introduction. This paper is a sociolinguistic study that aims to investigate the speech of two groups in Al-Ahsa (Saudi Arabia) for the purpose of making a comparison between their speech.

Methods. This study is empirical in its methods in that it is fully dependent on naturalistic speech. All the interviews, which were conducted in Al-Ahsa were conducted using the face-to-face technique for obtaining data with regard to linguistic variation. In this, the focus is on the Hasawi people and the Bedouins.

Results. The study indicates that these two groups manipulate their dialect, in particular the key features of their dialects, to emphasize distinctiveness and negotiate identity. The study shows that while the linguistic behavior of the elderly in both groups is similar both within and outside of the group, the young generations show differences in their speech behavior. Additionally, group identity is very important to them. Outside the group, the possibility of interacting with members of the other group occurs, and, within this context, strong correlations appeared between linguistic factors and social factors, in particular the group identity among young males and gender distinctness among young females in both groups. Young males stereotypically tend to use the local linguistic forms, in particular the forms that are considered "the most salient feature which carries the social meaning of locality (Al-Wer, 1991: 75) and symbolizes local identities. The linguistic behavior of young males in both groups exhibits almost the same trends. Both are proud of the identity of the group to which they belong, particularly in gatherings in which other identities are present. Thus, unlike the two other age groups, the use of the /ts/ by the young Bedouin males and the use of the /EL/ by Hasawi young males increase in these settings rather than inside their own groups. This indicates that displaying one’s group identity is of significance to the young males in each group when a possible interaction takes place. While the use of the /EL/ among young Hasawis inside the group is 55.0%, its use was 70.0% in contexts outside the group and in the presence of other identities. The use of the /ts/ variant inside the group is 40%, while it is 60.0% outside the group. It also shows that the linguistic behavior of the Hisawi elderly is almost identical to the linguistic behavior of the elderly in the Bedouin group. In both groups, age (young, middle-aged or elderly) appears to be significant.

Conclusion. The study shows that social competition is primarily expressed in the linguistic forms used. The more this social competition increases, the more unlikely the possibility of giving up one's social dialect becomes. People say much more through an accent than through the semantic content of the speech itself. To conclude, the study shows that social competition is frequently expressed in the linguistic forms used.
Образование 2.0: Психолингвистический анализ (Часть 2)
Authors: Goroshko Helen , Pakhnin Nikolai
Published: May 2021

Вступление. Целью исследования стало установление влияния новых коммуникативных технологий на языковое сознание в образовательной среде. Отдельной исследовательской задачей было усовершенствование методологической базы «психолингвистики 2.0» – нового направления в языкознании, изучающего психологические и лингвистические аспекты речевой деятельности человека в социальных медиа, а также социо-психологические аспекты использования языка в коммуникации с помощью платформ и сервисов веб 2.0.

Методы и методики. В качестве основного метода исследования были выбраны методики свободного и направленного ассоциативного эксперимента. Всего в эксперименте приняло участие 150 преподавателей и 179 студентов гуманитарных и технических специальностей (всего 329 человек). Родной язык информантов был русский и/или украинский. Эксперимент проходил в режиме «онлайн» в два этапа. Сначала участникам предлагалось ответить первым пришедшим в голову словом на ряд понятий – наиболее популярных сервисов социального веба и интернет-технологий, а затем они должны были завершить (дописать) предложения, которые также включали те же самые понятия социального веба.

Результаты. Проведенный ассоциативный эксперимент показал, что информационная, коммуникативная и функциональная составляющая Глобальной сети более всего актуализирована в языковом сознании информантов – участников образовательного процесса вне зависимости от формы проведения ассоциативного эксперимента (свободного или направленного), но именно метод неоконченных предложений как разновидность методики направленных ассоциаций по сути как бы направляет чаще ассоциации в функциональное русло. Также в направленном эксперименте полученные реакции чаще обуславливается синтаксической составляющей – превалированием синтагматических ассоциаций над прагматическими. Было также показано, что способ проведения эксперимента влияет на то, какая составляющая может выйти на первый план функциональная или информационная.

Выводы. Исследование установило, что образовательная составляющая социальных медиа практически в языковом сознании наших реципиентов не запечатлена, что косвенно указывает на то, что их использование в образовательном процессе еще не является регулярной практикой. Можно также утверждать, что проведение психолингвистических экспериментов в онлайне является ещё одной формой их реализации, наряду с устной и письменной.

Published: May 2021

Objective: To report a case of gastric epithelioid haemangioendothelioma, given its low incidence.
Introduction: Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma is a vascular neoplasm composed of epithelioid or histiocytoid cells with endothelial characteristics. They have a very low incidence of approximately one per one million and are usually asymptomatic with a difficult preoperative diagnosis.
Case Report: This study reports the case of a 58-year-old woman with a history of chronic anaemia. She underwent an elective upper endoscopy with evidence of an ulcerated submucosal lesion in the gastric antrum. The histological examination performed over the endoscopic biopsies showed the vascular characteristic of the tumor and endosonography confirmed the submucosal origin of the lesion. After resective surgery, the tumor showed the histological and immunohistochemical features of the epithelioid haemangioendothelioma.
Conclusion: Surgery in the form of wide excision seems to be the treatment of choice for this rare neoplasm in the absence of histological markers of malignant potential.

Published: May 2021

O artigo discute a variação regional em construções temporais com a preposição ‘de’. O foco reside em demonstrar, em caráter inicial, que a variação e mudança no emprego desse nexo, a exemplo de vou de 11 horas x vou às 11horas, motivam questões importantes e atuais no que tange à equivalência semântica de variantes linguísticas e à força da identidade regional na manutenção de padrões linguísticos socialmente marcados e desprestigiados. Além de o estudo apontar resíduos de processos contínuos de mudança linguística a partir de processos diacrônicos diagnosticados a partir do latim.
Operações rítmicas e o papel da informação morfológica: o caso Tikuna (Ticuna)
Authors: Soares Marilia Facó
Published: May 2021

Retomando hipótese apresentada em Soares (1992) e explorada em Soares (1999), o presente artigo verifica o grau de participação da informação morfológica na construção do ritmo em Tikuna, língua tonal usada por um grande número de falantes distribuídos por uma área extensa da Amazônia, na América do Sul. Particularmente, verifica-se a existência ou não de um ritmo morfológico na língua e o lugar que nele ocupariam as raízes - entendidas como elementos indecomponíveis e, portanto, diferentes dos radicais (concebidos como resultados de raízes já categorizadas, seja por um morfema fonologicamente nulo, seja por um afixo aberto). Entre as conclusões mais importantes está a de se ter a possibilidade de dispensar a referência à margem direita da palavra como fator prosódico primeiro para o desencadeamento da constituição de pés métricos binários em Tikuna. Tal dispensa é possível quer em casos de sufixação, quer em casos de composição. Na sufixação, tem-se como possível o aparecimento do acento rítmico alimentado por uma espécie de colaboração, do ponto de vista perceptual, entre duração e altura da voz – colaboração essa que depende de uma camada tonal completamente especificada e que abre campo para operações rítmicas de nível mais baixo. Na composição, inexiste interação perceptual da altura da voz com a estrutura métrica, havendo indicações de que as operações rítmicas são aí diferentes daquelas de nível mais baixo. No que diz respeito à relação entre constituição morfológica e construção da grade métrica, observou-se, durante a sufixação, que a própria subdivisão do espaço rítmico duracional é coincidente com a de um pé métrico no plano acentual, tendo-se constatado que tal subdivisão acompanha de perto a estruturação morfológica interna à palavra, sendo que o mesmo se dá em casos de composição.
A few remarks on the relationship between language and the conceptual structure of the mind
Authors: Uller Claudia
Published: May 2021

In Psycholinguistics, particularly as the studies concern the language-concept relationship, it is necessary to take into account the different ways this relationship manifests itself, its nature and the direction it takes place. An objective to be pursued is to verify if (i) concepts exist spontaneously and naturally in human cognitive architecture and if language only has the role of instigating and installing them in the language; or if (ii) concepts depend on the language to exist. In the present article, we discuss the problem, consider different points of view from some proponents of alternative views and present a way to provide empirical evidence to verify their hypotheses.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------ALGUMAS NOTAS SOBRE A RELAÇÃO ENTRE LINGUAGEM E A ESTRUTURA CONCEITUAL DA MENTENo estudo da Psicolinguística, em particular no que concerne a relação linguagem-conceito, há que se levar em conta as diferentes formas em que esta relação se manifesta, sua natureza e a direção em que ela se efetua. Um objetivo a ser atingido é verificar se (i) os conceitos existem espontânea e naturalmente na arquitetura cognitiva humana e se a linguagem tem apenas o papel de instigá-los e instalá-los na língua; ou se (ii) os conceitos dependem da linguagem para existirem. No presente artigo, discutimos o problema, analisamos as considerações de alguns proponentes com visões alternativas e apresentamos uma forma de prover evidência empírica para a verificação das hipóteses que eles levantam.---Original em inglês.
On the readings of pourquoi in wh-questions
Authors: Kédochim Flore , Guesser Simone
Published: May 2021

The literature on wh-items such as why in English points out that this element can be associated with two readings, reason and purpose. Following Reinhart’s (2003) typology for causal relations between two events, Tsai (2008) assumes that the semantics of reason involves a relation called Enable, according to which one event is a necessary condition for the other. On the other hand, purpose reading involves a Motivate relation, in which one event either enables or causes the other, mediated by a mental state. Semantic and syntactic restrictions suggest that reason/Enable and purpose/Motivate are readings that involve different syntactic positions, the first being related to the CP system, and the second to the vP area. With regard to the French wh-item pourquoi, there are few studies that address this issue. According to these studies, the reason/Enable reading is the only possible reading for pourquoi. In order to deepen the matter in question, this work investigated the interpretation properties of pourquoi through a non-chronometric offline experimental study. The results show that this wh-item can have a purpose/Motivate reading in addition to a reason/Enable reading in interrogative sentences.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------SOBRE AS LEITURAS DE POURQUOI EM INTERROGATIVAS WH-A literatura sobre sintagmas-wh como o why do inglês aponta que esse elemento pode veicular dois tipos de leitura, de razão e de propósito. Seguindo a tipologia de Reinhart (2003) para relações causais entre dois eventos, Tsai (2008) assume que a semântica de razão envolve uma relação chamada Habilitação, segundo a qual um evento é uma condição necessária para o outro. Por outro lado, a leitura de propósito envolve a relação de Motivação, segundo a qual um evento habilita ou causa o outro, sendo mediado pelo estado mental de um sujeito agente. Restrições semânticas e sintáticas sugerem que razão/Habilitação e propósito/Motivação são leituras que envolvem diferentes posições sintáticas, sendo a primeira relacionada ao sistema CP, e a segunda ligada à área do vP. No que diz respeito a pourquoi, são poucos os estudos que tratam do assunto. Segundo esses estudos, apenas a leitura de razão/Habilitação é veiculada por esse elemento. Com o objetivo de aprofundar essa questão, o presente trabalho investigou as propriedades interpretativas de pourquoi através de um estudo experimental off-line não cronométrico. Os resultados mostram que esse sintagma, além de veicular a intepretação de razão/Habilitação, pode também apresentar a leitura propósito/Motivação em sentenças interrogativas.---Original em inglês.

“Spine Surgery Checklist”: A Step towards Perfection through Protocols
Authors: Kulkarni Arvind Gopalrao , Patel Jwalant Yogeshkumar , Asati Sanjeev , Mewara Navin
Published: May 2021

Study Design: A retrospective study.Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel checklist that was designed specifically for the “spine-surgerysubspecialty” to reduce the incidence of some common preventable human errors and major perioperative complications in spine surgery.Overview of Literature: We propose a unique spine surgery-specific checklist that recognizes the risk factors, anticipates the possible human errors, and thus helps in preventing these errors. This checklist is associated with increased patient safety awareness, improved communication (keeps everyone updated regarding their responsibilities), reduction in the surgical claims, and reduction in the number of postoperative complications, including mortality.Methods: This retrospective pilot study was performed at single center on 858 spine surgery patients. The patients were divided into the following two groups: the study group (after implementation of the checklist [2016–2017]) and the control group (before the implementation of the checklist [2015–2016]). The incidence of common preventable human errors and major perioperative complications in spine surgeries were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results: The prevalence of wrong-level surgeries was 0%, and the overall prevalence of the preventable errors was 1.63% (7/428). The rate of adverse, near-miss, and no-harm events was 0.23% (1/428), 0.70% (3/428) and 0.70% (3/428), respectively. The preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative errors were 0.70% (3/428), 0.23% (1/428), and 0.70 (3/428), respectively. The reoperation rate related to preventable errors reduced after the checklist was used. There were significant differences in the total preventable errors related to complications, such as infections, prolonged hospital stays, and unplanned hospital readmission/revision surgeries (p=0.001)Conclusions: The authors propose the first-of-its kind spine surgery-specific checklist that is comprehensive and involves perioperative parameters. The checklist is easy to use, safe, and effective for reducing the unforgiving errors and perioperative complications. However, its broader implementation would require validation in large, multi-center, randomized control studies.

Authors: Bhattarai Subash , Gyawali Merina , Regmi Sudeep
Published: May 2021

Introduction: Gastric cancer is a common malignancy of the upper gastrointestinal tract. Gastric cancer is a common cause of death worldwide. This research aimed to study the prevalence of gastric cancer among patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopies.

Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Medicine at Manipal Teaching Hospital, Nepal, from January 2018 to June 2020. A total of 2640 subjects underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopies over the study period. Ethical approval was taken from the institutional review committee of Manipal College of Medical Sciences (MEMG/ IRC/ 383/GA). Data were analyzed by SPSS version 20.

Results: The prevalence of gastric cancer among patients undergoing UGI endoscopies was 2.4%. The mean age of subjects was 58 Â± 12.35 years (range of 31 to 96 years) with male predominance (M:F=1.9:1). Antrum was the most common site for gastric carcinoma. The most common morphology was ulcerative growth (61.6%). Adenocarcinoma (98.4%) was the most common histology, and the majority was of intestinal subtype (56.3%).

Conclusions: Gastric cancer is not an uncommon finding in patients undergoing UGI endoscopies. Gastric cancers were commonly seen above 50 years of age and predominant in males. Patients with gastric carcinoma usually present late with advanced disease stages and unfavorable histopathology.

Nowadays, automation is an actual issue in the development of methods and equipment for ultrasonic non-destructive testing. The conditions of modern industrial production require the development and application the automated testing equipment which is versatile to a wide range of manufactured products, which can have a complex shape. In this paper, we propose a technique for ultrasonic testing of complex-shaped objects. Such technique implies the application of six degrees of freedom robotic manipulators to ensure the required refraction angle of ultrasonic waves into the test object at each measuring position. The trajectory of the robot movement during scanning is provided by restoring the surface profile of the test object using optical profilometry and determining the location of the test object relative to the robotic manipulator using a probe tip. Within the framework of this work, the effectiveness of the developed technology is verified experimentally.
Вихретоковый контроль усталостной деградации метастабильной аустенитной стали при гигацикловом контактно-усталостном нагружении

The surfaces of parts made of austenitic chromium-nickel steels are subjected to heavy cyclically repeated contact loads, including impact loads, during operation. Therefore, the study of contact endurance and the development of methods for non-destructive testing of fatigue degradation of such steels is a relevant task. The aim of this work is to study the possibility of eddy-current testing of the fatigue degradation of the AISI 321 steel under contact loading. Mechanical testing for gigacycle contact fatigue has been conducted in accordance with the pulsing impact “plane-to-plane” contact scheme with an ultrasonic loading frequency. It has been shown that eddy-current testing of the fatigue degradation under contact loading of the AISI 321 steel is possible, but has certain limitations due to non-monotonic changes in the eddy-current device readings α depending on the number of loading cycles. Along with this, using the ascending branch it is possible to test the degree of failure of the surface layer, taking into account in the control technique the ambiguous character of the dependences of the eddy-current device readings on the number of loading cycles. The testing can be performed by measuring the eddy-current device readings at the excitation frequency of the eddy current probe f = 124 kHz. In this case, mainly surface layers are analyzed, where the processes of the fatigue degradation that affect the physical characteristics of the steel are developed intensively. The greatest influence on the value of α is exerted by the quantitative ratio of austenite to strain-induced martensite in the control zone.

The availability of drinking water is reducing day by day, whereas the freshwater necessity is tremendously increasing. There is a need for some sustainable water distillation (purification) to overcome this problem. Solar desalination is a technique used to convert brackish or saline water into potable water, and solar still is a useful device to distil brackish water for drinking purposes. Numerous designs of the solar still system have been developed worldwide. Many researchers outlined mathematical terms, performed experiments and validated the outcome from the various types of solar stills by varying the design and operating parameters. In this article, a review of the active and passive solar stills' performance has been carried out.

Виявлено загальні критерії для пошуку спільних та відмітних рис у системі проведення змагань «Формула-1» та «NASCAR», які включають кількість команд, пілотів, змістову частину гонок, систему нарахування очок, наявність «плей-офф», тривалість гонки, кількість та тривалість «пітстопів» за гонку, властивості змагального треку чи траси, гендерну ознаку, географію проведення змагань, участь «Grid girls». Відповідно було з’ясовано характерні особливості систем змагань у професійних автоперегонах за кожним з визначених критеріїв. Обґрунтовано компоненти економічної ефективності систем змагань, які включають середні витрати на сезон для команд, розподіл прибутків, відвідуваність, максимальну заробітню платню, вартість автомобіля та квитків. Зіставлення інформації про проведення змагань з професійних кільцевих автоперегонів дозволило виявити, що організатори «NASCAR» дотримуються більш традиційних підходів до формування системи змагань, а організатори «Формули-1» постійно актуалізують складові змагальної діяльності відповідно до високих технологічних вимог.
Ключові слова: система змагань, професійні автоперегони, «Формула-1», «NASCAR».

A Transparência dos processos administrativos provenientes da administração pública brasileira vem recebendo cada vez mais destaque na legislação. Entretanto, a forma como esses processos são organizados, compartilhados, gerenciados e preservados, tanto física quanto digitalmente, também necessitam da devida atenção. Esse artigo tem como objetivos: relacionar os conceitos básicos de cada tema dessa pesquisa: transparência, gestão do conhecimento e gestão documental; descrever como a Administração Pública consegue atender às demandas das legislações atuais sobre transparência pública; e identificar quais elementos de gestão do conhecimento e gestão documental favorecem o fluxo desses processos administrativos. O estudo foi desenvolvido com base em revisão da literatura. As publicações utilizadas nessa revisão foram selecionadas a partir de buscas em bases de dados científicas e pesquisa documental abrangendo as principais leis que tratam da transparência no Brasil. Com esse estudo foi possível elucidar questões sobre a transparência pública e seus meios de execução no governo. Como resultados foram relacionadas técnicas de gestão documental que facilitam o compartilhamento de informações de que trata a Gestão do Conhecimento, favorecendo o acesso à informação e a transparência pública. Foi identificada uma lacuna de publicações relacionando os três temas, o que justifica a necessidade dessa pesquisa.
ТЕОРЕТИКО-МЕТОДИЧНІ ЗАСАДИ ТА ПРОБЛЕМИ ФУНКЦІОНУВАННЯ МЕХАНІЗМУ ФІНАНСУВАННЯ ЗАКЛАДІВ ЗАГАЛЬНОЇ СЕРЕДНЬОЇ ОСВІТИ

У статті досліджено теоретико-методичні засади та проблеми функціонування механізму фінансування закладів загальної середньої освіти України. Досліджено, що світові видатки на освіту досягають 900 млрд. дол., що в свою чергу складає 3 % світового ВВП. Визначено, що фінансування освіти здійснюється в країнах світу з різних джерел. В країнах ЄС, США та Південної Кореї фінансування освіти здійснюється за рахунок державного бюджету. У постсоціалістичних країнах із-за  падіння ВВП скоротилися видатки на освітню галузь. Тому в цих країнах переважає змішана система фінансування роботи освітніх закладів. Проаналізовано динаміку Зведено бюджету України та видатків на освіту за період 2014-2019 рр. Встановлено, що питома вага видатків на освіту у загальному обсязі Зведеного державного бюджету зменшилась  за період 2014-2019 рр. на 19,22 %. Проведено аналіз динаміки кількісних показників по закладах загальної середньої освіти України за період 1990/91 – 2019/20 рр. Зроблено висновок, що кількість закладів загальної середньої освіти України зменшилось на 30,27 %, кількість учнів зменшилась на 41,07 %, кількість вчителів зменшилась на 18,06 %. Досліджено динаміку кількісних показників по закладах загальної середньої освіти міста Києва за період 1995/96 – 2019/20 рр. Зроблено висновок, що кількість закладів загальної середньої освіти міста Києва за досліджуваний період зросла у 1,34 рази, кількість учнів зменшилась на 10,06 %, кількість вчителів зросла на 5,86 %. Доведено, що в основі визначення обсягів фінансування лежить принцип «від досягнутого рівня». Обґрунтована  доцільність вдосконалення механізму фінансування закладів загальної середньої освіти в Україні на основі використання зарубіжного досвіду, а саме, впровадження фінансових відносин на принципах концепції субсидарності.
