This article presents the results of the research aimed at proving the efficiency of using the simulation method in combination with the cognitive linguistic approach in teaching students a foreign language. The experimental group students studied the foreign (English) language course during the semester of the 2019-2020 academic year using simulations. The methodology consisted of the performance of roles by the students who actively interacted for the implementation of assigned tasks. Kravchenko's cognitive linguistic algorithm was used to develop the skills of English grammar. This allowed us to establish the similarities between the temporal forms of English and Ukrainian words in discourse. The efficiency was evaluated through the test, developed by the author based on the exercises from the book by Holitsynskyi. Diagnostics of the students' level of motivation to learn a foreign language using simulations and cognitive linguistic approach was performed with the help of the Self-Assessment Form Student test, described in the EU manual. The statistical significance of the study results was established using Pearson's χ2 test. The correlation between the factor and resultant characteristics was established using Tschuprow's contingency coefficient. This was revealed through the methodology of applying the cognitive linguistic approach regarding the training of the skills in choosing the tense forms of a verb in English and the method of simulations in the development of language competencies of the business foreign language. It was found that the proportion of experimental group students with a high and sufficient level of success in learning a foreign language doubled, exceeding the same indicator in the control group. The total number of students with very high, high and average levels of development of skills in choosing the tense forms of the verb in English increased by 36%. The influence of the skills of choosing the tense forms of the verb on the development of the skills of using grammatical structures found in the process of the simulation was recorded. The results of the study can be applied in teaching students a foreign language in the institutions of higher and secondary education, as well as in the system of post-graduate education. The problems of individual students' passivity regarding their participation in simulations, failure to use a foreign language in group work require further research.

Self-Determination Factors and Their Impact Through the Relative Autonomy Index on Skills-Based Learning
Authors: Çarka Mimoza , Mano Romeo 
Published: July 2021

Through this study, we aim to identify the relationships between self-determination factors and skills-based learning, as well as the impact of these relationships on increasing the quality of skills-based learning in lower secondary education. The methodology of this paper is the use of quantitative methods of descriptive and inferential statistics in order to study the principle of self-determination through statistical estimation of the RAI (Relative Autonomy Index) coefficient. The data for the conduct of the empirical study were made possible by the questionnaires of the academic self-regulation type. The study includes two samples of students divided by the learning difficulty level. The novelty of this study is precisely the inclusion of the students with learning difficulties and the comparison of their outcomes with those of progressive students. There are many studies on the latter, some of which have guided the idea of this study. The Relative Autonomy Index was built by assessing the motivation sublevels dependent on their position in the self-determination process. Consequently, the data were collected by the standard academic self-regulation questionnaire, for the students with learning difficulties (45 students) and progressive students (45 students). The content of the questions is mainly about the reasons that make students do their works at school. The study of the RAI variable was conducted by treating the data according to their classification in terms of students' level of learning difficulties. To conclude on the relation of controlled motivation to relative autonomous motivation, the results of cross-quartile and descriptive distribution of RAI variable were studied. According to the selected sample, the analysis of this empirical study does not give us a good picture of the implementation of the skills-based curriculum, a process, which should enable each student to master the key skills for lifelong learning.

Published: July 2021

The study assessed textile innovations delivery of extension services programme in Nigeria, with a view to establishing its proficiency for rural economic empowerment and development. Explicitly, it examined the project techno-dynamics factor; analysed its economic costume and visibility variables. For this study 10 states and 40 blocks were purposively selected and 320 groups of villages within the selected blocks were visited. Stratified and simple random sampling procedure was used in selecting 15% of respondents from each group of villages, making 3,251 across the nation. While structured and pre-tested questionnaire was used in collecting quantitative data, individual interview schedule and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were applied in eliciting qualitative information from respondents. Data collected was summarized with the use of descriptive statistics viz; percentages, means and, frequency counts. Factor analysis was applied in isolating critical factors having relationship with proefficiency. The study isolated three important factors that were crucial to proficiency. These were textile innovations socio- technical (25.09%), accessibility (23.74%) and socio-economic (20.25%). It was concluded that the introduced textile innovations was proficient for rural economic empowerment and development. For proficiency, the finding suggests that inputs must be made available at the various extension centers, and on-farm textile producers must have direct access to market board without interference of product-coordinators.

The Shifting Structure of the Maltese Economy: Evidence from Chain-Linked Data
Authors: Darmanin Jude , Montebello Roberta , Deguara Warren 
Published: July 2021

The economy of the Maltese islands has undergone significant structural change and diversification since the turn of the century. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of sectoral developments in output, employment, unit labour costs, and prices in Malta during the two decades to 2020. Analysis is conducted using the newly-available chain-linked sectoral national accounts data, which is a departure from previous studies. Furthermore, we complement our findings with a comparative analysis of structural developments in Malta and in the euro area. The results show that the Maltese economy underwent a significant shift towards the services sector between 2000 and 2020. Sectors such as finance & insurance, information & communication, professional, scientific & technical activities, administrative & support services, and arts, entertainment & recreational services saw large increases in their shares of both output and employment. On the other hand, more traditional sectors such as manufacturing, construction, and food & accommodation services saw a decline in their relative importance. An analysis of productivity and cost developments also suggests that services sectors were generally the most productive during the period under study, while recording the highest levels of compensation per employee and the lowest unit labour costs. Nonetheless, sectoral productivity levels in Malta generally remain below those observed in the euro area. Output prices rose significantly in Malta between 2000 and 2020, generally reflecting the higher pace of economic growth when compared with the euro area.

A Monograph on Theoretical Understanding of the Contradictions of Vested Interests and Underdevelopment in Peripheral Social Formation
Authors: Ogbonna Hyginus Obinna 
Published: July 2021

This paper focuses on theoretical understanding of the contradictions of vested interests and the underdevelopment in the peripheral social formations; having as its raison d'être, to explore the possible ways by which the vested interests of a particular social group or class has contributed in shaping the underdevelopment of the periphery in the global economy –with inferences from a sub-Saharan African country, Nigeria (with empirical-based evidences); and moving forward, to find ways to counteract or mitigate these contradictions for the amelioration of the human condition in the periphery. Thus, the paper achieves its objectives by adopting a qualitative descriptive method of analysis, investigating the contradictions of the vested interests of both the neo-colonial elite in the Periphery and the capitalists of the Center (advanced capitalist nations), with an admixture of "Dependency Perspective" in its exploration. A theoretical framework, Marxian Ideology, was employed to help for a better epistemic understanding of the dynamics of vested interests aided by helpful extrapolations in its analysis. In the final analysis, the paper made some findings. A few of these include, 1) that the ruling class of the peripheral nations, especially in Africa (typically, Nigeria) has the culture of diverting national wealth for own personal interest. 2) That every moment of domination precipitates moments of resistance by the subjugated class, hence revolutions and instability are endemic in any polity fraught with vested interests of the dominant class. 3) That the peripheral nations have remained underdeveloped due to the selfish interests of both the peripheral ruling class (the puppets of the capitalist of the Center) and the advanced capitalist nations. The paper therefore recommends: that the peripheral social formations should pursue serious independent policies of social justice along egalitarian lines as well as economic and political self-reliance –e.g. state incentives for local industrialists and integrating and strengthening the domestic productive base to attain a self-reliant articulated economy. 2) There is need for total commitment to democratic ethos or permissiveness including popular-empowerment in every aspect for the amelioration of the human condition; among others.

Published: July 2021

AbstractDi Indonesia anak dengan gangguan Cerebral Palsy (CP) digolongkan ke dalam kelompok Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus (ABK) dengan prevalensi kejadian rendah. Dari prevalensi kejadian yang rendah bukan berarti tanpa masalah bagi orang tua dalam mengurus anak CP. Dukungan terhadap anak berkebutuhan khusus dibuktikan dengan ditetapkan Yogyakarta sebagai Kota Layak Anak (KLA) pada Tahun 2016. Tetapi, pada kenyataannya pada studi pendahuluan yang dilakukan didapat masih jarangnya program latihan yang dilakukan kembali di rumah yang mendukung tercapainya program latihan bagi anak berkebutuhan khusus, sehingga perlu adanya pemberian edukasi berupa modul yang bisa membantu orang tua dalam melatih anak mereka yang menderita Cerebral Palsy (CP). Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian kuantitatif dengan rancangan one group pre and post test design. Penelitian dilakukan pada 40 orang tua yang mendampingi anak dengan gangguan CP saat terapi di Rehabilitasi Medik RSA UGM, RSUD Yogyakarta dan komunitas Wahana Keluarga Cerebral Palsy (WKCP). Analisa bivariabel menggunakan Paired T-Test untuk mengetahui bagaimana perbedaan pengaruh saat sebelum diberikan modul dan setelah diberikan modul edukasi. Analisa bivariabel menunjukan adanya pengaruh pemberian modul edukasi untuk peningkatan pengetahuan dengan selisih mean 1,6 (p <0,001). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan orang tua dari pemberian edukasi dalam melatih anak cerebral palsy di rumah.
Комунікативно-орієнтоване вивчення іноземних мов дітьми із затримкою психічного розвитку
Authors: Черній Алла , Колодич Оксана 
Published: July 2021

У дослідженні розкрито проблему вивчення мови як засобу соціальної взаємодії. Доведено, що сьогодні у спеціальній психології та методиці психолого-педагогічного супроводу дітей з особливими освітніми потребами розвивається новий напрям підтримки, що одержав назву «комунікативного підходу» до вивчення іноземних мов як засобу подолання мовленнєвих порушень. Окреслено, що комунікативний підхід до вивчення іноземних мов, труднощі якого обумовлені тим, що процес комунікації є надзвичайно складним явищем, виходить зі сфери лінгвістичного аналізу. Мету комунікативного підходу до вивчення іноземних мов дітьми із затримкою психічного розвитку обґрунтовано як оволодіння мовною та мовленнєвою компетентністю. Сформовано психолого-педагогічну систему засобів психолого-педагогічної підтримки дітей із затримкою психічного розвитку, що значно розширює семантику терміна «мовленнєва компетентність» та дозволяє виокремити такі поняття, як: «вербально-комунікативна компетентність», «лінгвістична компетентність», «соціальна компетентність» та ін. Розглянуто комунікативно-орієнтоване навчання іноземних мов дітей із затримкою психічного розвитку, що спрямоване на подолання недоліків і обмеженості уже відомих методів, зокрема аудіолінгвального. Комунікативний принцип формування мовленнєвої компетентності у процесі вивчення іноземних мов визначено як подальший розвиток і логічне продовження методів, які концентрують увагу на навчанні усної іноземної мови дітей із затримкою психічного розвитку.
З’ясовано, що недостатнє володіння мовленнєвими навичками перешкоджає дітям із затримкою психічного розвитку опановувати навчальний матеріал, поєднується із неналежним рівнем сформованості усного мовлення або комунікативної компетентності, але педагоги не завжди можуть визначити причини таких порушень та їх проявів, а отже, надати відповідну допомогу. Застосування звичайних методів корекції не завжди є ефективними. У результаті проведеного дослідження доведено, що спілкування для дітей із затримкою психічного розвитку є основним джерелом надходження знань про навколишню дійсність, засобом набуття досвіду, способом удосконалення мовних засобів, що використовуються у практичній мовленнєвій діяльності, головним фактором подолання порушень, який сприяє формуванню мислення і самосвідомості.
Психологічна компетентність у професійному розвитку педагога Нової української школи
Authors: Абрамович Тетяна 
Published: July 2021

Початком освітньої реформи в Україні, покликаної модернізувати концептуальні засади всіх освітніх ланок, змінити стереотипне ставлення громадськості до розуміння сутності освітньої парадигми, сформувати нові стандарти і результати навчання, стало прийняття Законів України «Про освіту» (2017) та «Про повну загальну середню освіту» (2020), Концепції «Нова українська школа» (2016), Державного стандарту початкової освіти (2018) та Державного стандарту базової середньої освіти (2020). Концепцією Нової української школи серед низки пріоритетів у розвитку освіти визначено особистісно орієнтоване навчання і виховання, що передбачає психологізацію освітнього процесу шляхом підвищення рівня психологічної компетентності всіх його учасників: здобувачів освіти, батьків, учителів. Діяльність учителя є поліфункіональною та передбачає реалізацію певних компетентностей, аби діяти якісно й ефективно, бути конкурентоздатним та успішним. Науковцями давно доведено, що педагоги – це не тільки «змінна величина», необхідна для успішного реформування освітньої системи, а передусім «найбільш визначний носій змін» у реалізації реформ. Ця дуальна роль учителя в освітніх реформах – бути суб’єктом і об’єктом трансформацій – робить професійний розвиток учителів «зоною виклику» (Пуховська, 2011, с. 97–106). В умовах постійних динамічних змін, що стосуються знань, технологій, інформації, обставин життя, людство постало перед фактом, що знання оновлюються навіть швидше ніж відбувається зміна поколінь (Огнев’юк, 2013, с. 6–11). Така ситуація обумовлена тим, що отримані знання дуже швидко «старіють», виникає потреба не лише в здобутті нових, а й у постійному їх оновленні, неперервній освіті педагогів. До того ж динаміка змін на ринку праці в умовах світової економічної кризи ускладнює педагогічні проблеми підготовки конкурентоспроможних фахівців.
An event-coding account of attitudes
Authors: Hommel Bernhard , Stevenson Niek 
Published: July 2021

AbstractAttitudes (or opinions, preferences, biases, stereotypes) can be considered bindings of the perceptual features of the attitudes’ object to affective codes with positive or negative connotations, which effectively renders them “event files” in terms of the Theory of Event Coding. We tested a particularly interesting implication of this theoretical account: that affective codes might “migrate” from one event file to another (i.e., effectively function as a component of one while actually being part of another), if the two files overlap in terms of other features. We tested this feature-migration hypothesis by having participants categorize pictures of fictitious outer space characters as members of two fictitious races by pressing a left or right key, and to categorize positive and negative pictures of the International Affective Picture System (IAPS) as positive and negative by using the same two keys. When the outer space characters were later rated for likability, members of the race that was categorized by means of the same key as positive IAPS pictures were liked significantly more than members of the race that was categorized with the same key as negative IAPS pictures – suggesting that affective feature codes from the event files for the IAPS pictures effectively acted as an ingredient of event files for the outer space characters that shared the same key. These findings were fully replicated in a second experiment in which the two races were replaced by two unfamiliar fonts. These outcomes are consistent with the claim that attitudes, opinions, and preferences are represented in terms of event files and created by feature binding.

Published: July 2021

The mental health and well-being needs of healthcare workers have risen sharply, fuelled by the current COVID-19 pandemic. Migrant healthcare workers are affected not only by events in the country where they work but also by events in countries where their family and friends reside. Despite, increase in psychological distress, migrant HCWs don’t use the existing resources to support their needs.

This paper summarises discussions from the workshop focusing on reasons/barriers in uptake of mental health and well-being resources in the UK, the scope of peer support initiatives and its boundaries in supporting colleagues in the UK and India. Finally, it makes recommendations on the governance structure and checklist when organising peer support for healthcare workers.
