The Geosciences Awareness Program (Project GAP), a collaboration between the Ohio State University and Columbus State Community College, was designed to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups in geosciences at both precollege and college levels. As part of Project GAP's precollege initiative, students at five predominantly minority schools in Columbus, Ohio, were introduced to Project GAP's objectives through presentations and related hands-on activities. The methods developed through Project GAP for enhancing precollege students' attitudes toward, and increasing their interest in, geosciences included showing the relevance of geosciences to society, highlighting the salary outlook for geoscientists, and providing examples of distinguished minority geoscientists. The effectiveness of the GAP model for increasing the number of future geoscientists was supported by data collected through pre- and postpresentation surveys of participants.

Geoscience education researchers are working to understand how we can most effectively increase our overall geoscience workforce capacity. The present study employed an inductive approach to explore the critical experiences that led to the persistence of successful field geologists in this STEM field. Interviews with 29 professional field geologists and 8 upper level undergraduates were analyzed to identify emergent themes. Three overarching themes emerged: Academic Experiences, Connections with People, and Engagement with Earth. Academic experiences, such as introductory courses and field trips, were commonly mentioned as being significant in recruitment. Relationships with people, such as professors and family members, provided encouragement for and exposure to geology-related activities. Participants provided detailed description of the regional geology where they grew up and the geology of locales from family trips as experiences with Earth influenced their interest in geology. The results of this study validate past studies of recruitment and retention of geoscientists, particularly in the influence of academic experiences on interest in geology. However, the abundance of themes related to the role of family, engagement in outdoor recreation, and personal experiences with local geology underscores the importance of informal science experiences for fostering choice and participation in field geology careers. Future models of retention and recruitment for the geosciences could benefit from emphasizing familial relationships and informal science experiences.

The article deals with the phenomenon of psychological safety of the educational environment (PSEE) in the modern school. Indicators of the educational process participants' psychological safety are revealed. The notion of the teacher's preparedness for the designing activity is defined. The authors have conducted a case study revealing integrated professional and personal qualities of the future teacher, which promote successful designing of school PSEE. The obtained data correlation has been made to identify the interconnection of the level of the teacher' professional and personal qualities development and the PSEE coefficient. Obtained results of the case study have shown that the main factors determining the successful designing psychologically safe educational environment by teachers is the level of professional and personal qualities development such as emotional stability, high-normative behaviour, sensitivity, low anxiety, creative thinking, reflection and introspection. The carried out correlation has shown that the higher the level of manifestation of these teacher's professional and personal qualities is, the higher the psychological security of the educational environment is.

The article is written within the framework of a broader study investigating school and university representation in the Soviet/Russian and foreign audiovisual media texts. The research outlines that in Soviet cinema the image of the female teacher was transformed in the following sequence: a heroine-revolutionary; a heroine of hard work; an intellectual; an educator-innovator; a victim; a bureaucrat-administrator. In the Soviet audio-visual texts of the 1930s-1940s, the heroic image of a teacher-fighter for revolutionary ideals (&quot;Alone,&quot; 1931), which gradually softens, acquires the aspect of labor heroics (&quot;The Village Teacher,&quot; 1947). Teachers become good-looking, attractive (&quot;The Village teacher, First-grader&quot;). The cinema of the Stalin era is characterized by the image of the teacher as an indisputable perfection, the embodiment of tranquility and justice. The theme of motherhood for female teachers in Soviet/Russian cinema is either not raised at all, or is sublimated into maternal care as a quality characteristic of a woman in general, revealing the essence of the heroine, but directed not at her own child, but at a pupil. Often screen teachers are childless women with a failed personal life, single mothers, or mothers who conceal their motherhood. The image of the male teacher was transformed in the Soviet/Russian cinema in the following way: the ideological organizer of the labor commune; a teacher by vocation, an enthusiast; an intellectual-humanist; a loser who finds himself at school due to unfortunate circumstances; an idealist, an ascetic, a self-sacrificing teacher, first and foremost a professional in his field. In Soviet cinema, for many years, the masculine image of a teacher-the creator of a new man worthy to live under Soviet power-was being formed. In perestroika and in the Russian periods, images of male teachers, who have not found another road in life, began to appear on the screen more often. For all that, it is with the male teacher that the theme of innovation in education is connected in feature and documentary films, although this aspect is rarely shown on the big screen.

In the educational field, anxiety towards mathematics has been a recurrent theme that has been intensified with the results of the PISA test of 2012 and 2015. Since students who are anxious about mathematics tend to avoid any area related to mathematics, it leads to a decrease in the number of professionals in mathematics. However, this construct comes from a later history, which is the study of anxiety itself as a psychological and biological phenomenon. For this reason, this work carries out a theoretical revision of those seminal contributions that gave rise to the explanation from the theoretical construct of anxiety for later and in a specific way, to derive in the empirical studies of anxiety towards mathematics.

Our study explores how students apply geoscientific knowledge learned in the classroom to phenomena in a field setting. This was investigated by collecting video data from an ordinary high school context in Norway involving one teacher and a class of 17 high school students. We analyzed how the students learned rock identification and relative dating, first during the classroom preparation and then in the field. Supplementary data were collected 1 y after the fieldwork, when six of the students solved two posttasks of rock identification and relative dating. The video analyses of the students' talk and behavior while doing rock identification and relative dating focused on the level of student engagement, their thinking moves, and the extent of their understanding. The findings reveal that students who were able to apply their knowledge of relative dating were not able to do so for rock identification. One reason for this, we suggest, is that the nature of the geoscientific content influenced the students' ability to apply their knowledge in a field environment. Therefore, we identify qualities of relative dating and translate them to what we call &quot;tools for observation and interpretation.&quot; The article closes by suggesting how the qualities of relative dating can inform the development of tools for observation and interpretation for rock identification.

Various approaches to the problem of computer modelling of assimilation and forgetting of the educational information are considered. With the help of the multi-component model the Ebbinghaus' curve of forgetting of poorly assimilating information to be remembered through recurrences is confirmed. It is taken into account, that while training there is a transition of weak (poor) knowledge into strong (firm) knowledge, and while forgetting--the return transition of strong knowledge into weak knowledge. Also the model of assimilation and forgetting of the educational material with a high links degree, consisting of information blocks which contain the connected concepts is created. It allows to explain that: 1) while training there is the sharp increase of the understanding level of the studied problem; 2) after termination (ending) of training during some time the level of the pupil's knowledge remains high, and then slowly lowers because of gradual forgetting of the separate learning material elements. The paper shows that the processes of assimilation and forgetting occur according to the logistic law. Along with that the imitating model of training at school which takes into account the knowledge division into three categories and distribution of the educational information on classes is offered. For all cases there are graphs of the knowledge level dependence on time.

The implementation of sending scholarship students abroad that started in the 19th century by Sultan Selim III in Ottoman Empire continued during the period of other Sultans became a significant reference point for the abroad scholarship policy of Turkey. The students that were firstly sent abroad especially for military training, were sent to other countries such as France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Prussia, England, Belgium and Russia so as to have an education in various areas in the following years. In this paper, the legal arrangements for choosing scholarship student's selection process, rights, and obligation are dealt. Then, national and international factors that triggered sending scholarship students abroad are addressed in order to have a wide understanding of the implementation process of the scholarship program. Finally, the achievements of the Ottoman Empire due to the success of scholarship students are put forth by examining the study areas and countries of the students.

The paper reviews the project of reforms in the Don education, which were proposed by prominent public figures in the early 1860s., namely by A. M. Dondukov-Korsakov, Kh. I. Popov and N. I. Krasnov. Based on archival materials and publications by these authors, which in some cases have not been previously used in scientific studies, the paper shows that it was the different visions of the future Don education, which revealed a very clear and representative distinction between Don conservative &quot;Kazakomans,&quot; (from Kazakomanstvo--Cossack-mania) and liberal &quot;Progressists&quot;. Kazakomans counted on consistent reforms addressing the most pressing and obvious issues of the Don education. Contrary to them, Progressists believed that these issues would sort themselves out following the system reforms of the Cossack society, which would eliminate it as a purely military estate. Unfortunately, due to the political struggle, neither Progressist nor Kazakoman version of the reforms saw the light of the day, which had a negative impact on further development of the Don education.

The paper presents a review of the study and practice pertaining to the effectiveness of performance-related pay with a particular emphasis on higher educational organizations. The overall research question guiding the review was to establish the extent to which performance pay-based practices have been successful undergoing great changes in management practice, and in particular, whether the implementation of new performance-related pay schemes is likely to be effective in higher educational institutions. It proves to be evident that the urgency and severity of the issues to increase the efficiency of the entire institution performance, its competitiveness and quality of products or services provided is straightforwardly related to the level of staff satisfaction, engagement, efforts, initiatives and commitments. The core objectives of the modern PRP schemes are to motivate, stimulate personnel by encouraging them work on results, implementing a strategy of organization growth and development, providing tangible rewards at the expense of incremental improvements of performance and transparency of appraisal systems. The research findings are based on the analysis of the contemporary methods of the performance measurement, which prove to improve the effectiveness of the whole organization focusing primarily on the requirements and needs of all stakeholders. Overtly, linking pay to performance is proven to increase workers' motivation, effort and loyalty to the company, covertly, it can generate psychological stress and perverse effects.
