Authors: Kharkova Yevdokiia , Shapovalova Olha 
Published: May 2023

The article clarifies the concept of “management” in the field of preschool education. It is noted that preschool education management includes administration of various types of preschool education institutions of different forms of ownership, internal management in the PEI. Also, preschool education management is considered as a purposeful activity of all its hierarchical links, which ensures formation, preservation, stabilization of the functioning and development of preschool education in its various forms. The principles, levels and functions of educational process management in preschool education institutions are defined. The principle of management is defined as the main fundamental ideas, representations about management activity, rules that arise directly from the laws and regularities of management, that is, the principles of management reflect the objective reality that exists outside and independently of human consciousness.In the practice of managing the innovative pedagogical process, the heads of preschool education institutions note difficulties in mastering mechanisms and methodological techniques, there is insufficient competence in management, mechanical performance of certain actions, lack of creativity in solving certain situations, taking managerial actions. The effectiveness of managing the interaction of the subjects of the educational process provides support for general pedagogical and general scientific principles. Three groups of methods (administrative, socio-psychological and economic) used by heads of education institutions in the organization of pedagogical activities are discussed.In the course of the study, the levels of management culture among students and heads of preschool education institutions were determined (high, medium, low). In the organization of the educational process, active methods and forms of learning are preferred during the teaching of educational disciplines related to managerial activities. The expediency of using managerial situations in the preparation of preschool education organizers for professional activities has been proved.

Authors: Zaliznyak Alla 
Published: May 2023

The subject of consideration in the article is agile game as a means of forming physical qualities in preschool children. Attention is drawn to the fact that it is in the period of preschool childhood that the foundations of health and longevity are laid in children, many motor skills are formed and physical qualities are developed. Development of physical qualities is an important task of physical education of preschool children. It is emphasized that the basis of the comprehensive development of preschoolers is physical education, which provides for the achievement of the best development of such physical qualities in preschoolers as: speed, dexterity, flexibility, endurance, strength. The meaning of the concepts: “game”, “preschool age” is outlined. The main purpose of the agile game is revealed, which consists in the formation of the physical activity of a preschool child and the development of motor qualities. It has been proven that the agile game is not only a means of physical education, but also a method of learning. It is emphasized that agile games, correctly selected by the teacher, will have a positive effect on the cardiovascular, respiratory, and central nervous systems, stimulate the appetite and promote sound sleep. The types of agile games (by complexity; by degree of physical exertion; by group composition) and their influence on the formation of physical qualities in preschool children were analyzed. It is indicated that it is in the process of agile play in preschool children that motor experience is enriched and motor skills and physical qualities are formed.

FEATURES OF STUDYING LYRICS IN LITERATURE LESSONS
Authors: Parkheta Lubov 
Published: May 2023

Methodical approaches to the study of lyrics in literature lessons are disclosed in the article, in particular, its role in the formation of literary competence in students of general secondary education institutions. It is noted that lyrics are the most mobile of all genres of literature and have the greatest potential in shaping the emotional sphere of students and great educational opportunities. Various methodical algorithms for the study of lyric poetry are analyzed, in particular, the fact that lyrics are divided into civil, or political, philosophical, intimate, or personal, landscape, according to the subject matter and leading motives.According to the structure and method of organizing the material, lyrics are divided into reflexively expressive, narrative, and descriptive. In addition, there are also mixed structures of lyric works, that is, those that have features of all types. Studentsʼ perception and understanding of lyric works is determined by many factors: features of lyric poetry; the originality of the poetʼs artistic manner; the character of the ideological content of the works; general development of children, their life experience.The generic features of lyrical works determine the specificity of their study, which is associated with a number of related problems. One of them is the analysis of the image of the lyrical hero. The second problem of studying poetry is its poetic form (the peculiarity of the poetic language, its feet and size, strophic structure, etc.). Reading a work in class is a very important stage of its analysis, and for some types of lyrics it is also the main one. Pupils receive the first emotional impressions, on which the perception of poetry in general depends to a large extent. An important problem in the study of lyrics is its poetic form (the peculiarity of the poetic language, its feet and size, strophic structure, etc.). Lyrical works are somewhat difficult to perceive not only by teenagers, but often by high school students as well, therefore it is very important to create conditions for students to experience as fully as possible the feelings expressed in the studied poetry, to be imbued with thoughts. For this purpose, various methodological techniques are used. Studentsʼ interest in lyrical works must be constantly developed.
Keywords: lyrics; lyrical works; literature lesson; lyrical hero; author; rhythm; content and form of the poem; expressive reading.

DEVELOPING PRE INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS’ COMMUNICATIVE AND SOCIOCULTURAL COMPETENCES BY MEANS OF ROLE PLAY: A CASE STUDY
Authors: Komar Oleh , Lőrincz Marianna 
Published: May 2023

The article presents a study of the peculiarities of the development of communicative and sociocultural competences of pre intermediate students by means of role play. The aim of the article is to develop and implement into educational process original and productive tasks within the concept of role play as an interactive method of teaching in order to promote the development of students’ communicative and sociocultural competences.The following research questions were formulated in order to develop relevant methodology and expect trustworthy findings: Can role play enhance the productive skills of students (in particular speaking)? How does the use of role play influence the development of students’ communicative and sociocultural competences?The research methodology is based on the use of relevant data collection tools, namely introductory questionnaire with the subsequent experimental intervention, teacher survey and post intervention questionnaire.The results of the intervention indicate that the use of role play in the English classroom develops both communicative and sociocultural competences of language learners, primarily because they become more motivated to participate in productive activities, develop self-confidence and creativity. Participation in role-playing activities allows pre intermediate language learners to become more fluent in English, increases their vocabulary volume, expands their conceptual spheres and variety of speech patterns that can be used in appropriate communication situations. However, educational process should not be overloaded with role playing activities as it can become boring and predictable for students if used regularly.The study proves that role play is of great pedagogical importance in the English classroom for improving learners’ communication skills and developing their communicative and sociocultural competences.
Keywords: role play; communication skills; communicative competence; sociocultural competence; case study; pre intermediate students; motivation; simulation.
WAYS TO FORM THE BASIS OF MEDIA LITERACY IN PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS DURING COMPUTER SCIENCE CLASS
Authors: Mukoviz Oleksii , Melnychuk Vita 
Published: May 2023

The article justifies theoretically the ways of forming the basics of media literacy in primary school students at the computer science lessons. It has been determined that the following ways contribute to the formation of media literacy: the conducting of a system of computer science lessons using specific forms, methods and techniques of work, filled with the purposeful motivated media-active performance of the students; the analysis and integration of media products (the development of critical thinking); the involvement in media creativity. Each of the named ways is self-sufficient, but when implemented in a system, they become multi-vector under the influence of external and internal factors. It is important that by developing certain skills in different situations, an individual acquires media literacy, which helps form their own identity and independence. One of the defining ways of forming the basics of media literacy at the computer science lessons is the use of various pedagogical forms, methods, and work techniques that contribute to the purposeful motivated media-active performance of the students. Another effective way is the analysis and the integration of media resources. In this regard, primary school computer science lessons should develop the skills for safe interaction with television, the Internet, and other media, in order neither to abuse nor to harm their own development and psychological health. Computer science lessons should contribute to the increase of the students' resilience to information manipulation and propaganda, as well as to prevent abuse and the destructive influence of the media on children's psyche. Based on the above, it has been established that the formation of the basics of media literacy in primary school students is promoted by: the conducting of a system of computer science lessons with the use of specific forms, methods, and techniques of work, filled with the purposeful motivated media-active performance of the students; the analysis and integration of media products (the development of critical thinking); the involvement in media creativity.

DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE OF CHILDREN OF OLDER PRESCHOOL AGE WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS
Authors: Shuliak Svitlana 
Published: May 2023

The interest in communicative problems on the part of representatives of various scientific fields is largely explained by the fact that communication can be considered a necessary and general condition of human life and one of the fundamental foundations of society’s existence.The purpose of the article is to study the communicative competence of older preschool children with special educational needs.When communicating with children with special educational needs, the educator must take into account their communicative capabilities, that is, what form of communication the child is capable of, and then gradually complicate the content and means of communication. A competent approach to the formation of communicative competence of older preschool children with special educational needs involves the task of developing dialogue skills. An important task is the formation of children’s interest in the world of people, a conscious attitude towards themselves as individuals. Ways of communication, or communicative skills, are considered as actions by which the child expresses his attitude towards peers in the process of playing and at the same time influences them. Communicative competence of older preschoolers with special educational needs is the ability to establish and maintain relationships with others, as well as to combine knowledge, abilities and skills for quality communication. The development of communicative competence of children with special educational needs should be aimed at meeting the needs of a specific child, and, accordingly, create an educational environment.Further research will concern the study of social and emotional development of older preschool children with special educational needs.
Keywords: communicative competence; older preschool age; special educational needs; competence approach; speech development; educational environment; coherent speech; communication.

Published: May 2023

OBJECTIVE
The Quality Outcomes Database (QOD) was established in 2012 by the NeuroPoint Alliance, a nonprofit organization supported by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons. Currently, the QOD has launched six different modules to cover a broad spectrum of neurosurgical practice—namely lumbar spine surgery, cervical spine surgery, brain tumor, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), functional neurosurgery for Parkinson’s disease, and cerebrovascular surgery. This investigation aims to summarize research efforts and evidence yielded through QOD research endeavors.

METHODS
The authors identified all publications from January 1, 2012, to February 18, 2023, that were produced by using data collected prospectively in a QOD module without a prespecified research purpose in the context of quality surveillance and improvement. Citations were compiled and presented along with comprehensive documentation of the main study objective and take-home message.

RESULTS
A total of 94 studies have been produced through QOD efforts during the past decade. QOD-derived literature has been predominantly dedicated to spinal surgical outcomes, with 59 and 22 studies focusing on lumbar and cervical spine surgery, respectively, and 6 studies focusing on both. More specifically, the QOD Study Group—a research collaborative between 16 high-enrolling sites—has yielded 24 studies on lumbar grade 1 spondylolisthesis and 13 studies on cervical spondylotic myelopathy, using two focused data sets with high data accuracy and long-term follow-up. The more recent neuro-oncological QOD efforts, i.e., the Tumor QOD and the SRS Quality Registry, have contributed 5 studies, providing insights into the real-world neuro-oncological practice and the role of patient-reported outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS
Prospective quality registries are an important resource for observational research, yielding clinical evidence to guide decision-making across neurosurgical subspecialties. Future directions of the QOD efforts include the development of research efforts within the neuro-oncological registries and the American Spine Registry—which has now replaced the inactive spinal modules of the QOD—and the focused research on high-grade lumbar spondylolisthesis and cervical radiculopathy.
A taxonomy for deep cerebral cavernous malformations: subtypes of thalamic lesions

Published: May 2023

OBJECTIVE
Anatomical taxonomy is a practical tool to successfully guide clinical decision-making for patients with brain arteriovenous malformations and brainstem cavernous malformations (CMs). Deep cerebral CMs are complex, difficult to access, and highly variable in size, shape, and position. The authors propose a novel taxonomic system for deep CMs in the thalamus based on clinical presentation (syndromes) and anatomical location (identified on MRI).

METHODS
The taxonomic system was developed and applied to an extensive 2-surgeon experience from 2001 through 2019. Deep CMs involving the thalamus were identified. These CMs were subtyped on the basis of the predominant surface presentation identified on preoperative MRI. Six subtypes among 75 thalamic CMs were defined: anterior (7/75, 9%), medial (22/75, 29%), lateral (10/75, 13%), choroidal (9/75, 12%), pulvinar (19/75, 25%), and geniculate (8/75, 11%). Neurological outcomes were assessed using modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores. A postoperative score ≤ 2 was defined as a favorable outcome and > 2 as a poor outcome. Clinical and surgical characteristics and neurological outcomes were compared among subtypes.

RESULTS
Seventy-five patients underwent resection of thalamic CMs and had clinical and radiological data available. Their mean age was 40.9 (SD 15.2) years. Each thalamic CM subtype was associated with a recognizable constellation of neurological symptoms. The common symptoms were severe or worsening headaches (30/75, 40%), hemiparesis (27/75, 36%), hemianesthesia (21/75, 28%), blurred vision (14/75, 19%), and hydrocephalus (9/75, 12%). The thalamic CM subtype determined the selection of surgical approach. A single approach was associated with each subtype for most patients. The main exception to this paradigm was that in the surgeons’ early experience, pulvinar CMs were resected through a superior parietal lobule–transatrial approach (4/19, 21%), which later evolved to the paramedian supracerebellar-infratentorial approach (12/19, 63%). Relative outcomes implied by mRS scores were unchanged or improved in most patients (61/66, 92%) postoperatively.

CONCLUSIONS
This study confirms the authors’ hypothesis that this taxonomy for thalamic CMs can meaningfully guide the selection of surgical approach and resection strategy. The proposed taxonomy can increase diagnostic acumen at the patient bedside, help identify optimal surgical approaches, enhance the clarity of clinical communications and publications, and improve patient outcomes.
