Development and mastery of soft skills among graduate students

2023-01-04T10:13:04+02:00

The paper addresses content-related issues, a state-of-the-art assessment, and the key trends in the growth of soft skills. Soft skills should be emphasized in university curricula because they are currently necessary for having decent career possibilities. The article examines the findings of a study on the development of soft skills among postgraduate students at Alfred Nobel University in Dnipro, Ukraine who are majoring in professional education. These statistics demonstrate that postgraduate students are aware of the value of developing soft skills in order to have a successful career. Additionally, creative teaching strategies and tactics geared at developing soft skills will be incorporated into the educational process.

The cognitive identity of a media culture carrier as a subject of education in the information society

2023-01-04T10:12:56+02:00

The paper supports the idea that the growth of media education is based on the temporality of the topic as synchronization of communicative, cognitive demands on a person with dynamic changes of information reality. It is understandable that developing the necessary skills to be a carrier of modern culture is challenging, as the main threats posed by the deterioration of critical conditions for cognitive activity, the proliferation of communicative interaction models, and the complexity of media culture's semiotic systems fall within the purview of abilities like critical thinking, independent judgment of the quality of content, and safeguards against communication risks, among others. The modern subject of information activity's identified symptomatic cognitive characteristics point to the need for an urgent educational response, which includes the development of requirements and criteria for media literacy, a balanced approach to taking temporality into consideration, procedural thinking in terms of knowledge, memory, and self-identification. It is claimed that a key component of media education is acquiring the semantics, topology, and navigation of the fundamentals of audiovisual communication. The article focuses on how crucial it is for the educational system to respond comprehensively to the issues facing civilization brought on by the shift to the information society.

Systematicity of students' independent work in operating systems classes

2023-01-04T10:12:53+02:00

The research investigates the systematicity of students' learning activity as a parameter of the student's model, as well as the influence of systematicity on learning outcomes in the course "Operating Systems." As a theoretical framework, the importance of equipping the student himself as the subject of the educational process with the abilities and proper pedagogical forecasting tools for independent choice of the right variation of educational activity is demonstrated. Model parameters in such a pedagogical diagnostics system are proposed and analyzed. Empirical work has been completed on the basis of the learning management system Moodle and allows for the analysis of the association between students' timeliness in completing learning tasks and their educational achievements, as well as the structure of students' time planning at homework. Recommendations to improve the educational process have been suggested.

Mathematical education at Kryvyi Rih State Pedagogical University: history, achievements, and future prospects

2023-01-04T10:12:51+02:00

The study focuses on the advancement of mathematical education at Kryvyi Rih State Pedagogical University (KSPU). The research's goals and objectives include distinguishing and characterizing basic stages of formation and development of KSPU's mathematical education, informing about the current state of teaching, methodological, scientific, and research activity, and defining future prospects for developing the Department of Mathematics and Methods of its Teaching. The authors define stages of growing mathematical education at KSPU as eras of its 90-year development that are notable for distinct organizational and training techniques for Mathematics teachers. Teaching, research, and a life committed to people are factors that serve as the foundation for identifying basic stages in the growth of the Department of Mathematics. After analyzing information from the University archive, museum, and accessible personal data of Mathematics teachers - University teachers, graduates, and researchers - a special edition "Mathematical Education in Kryvyi Rih Pedagogical University: Personality Dimension" was issued to commemorate the Department of Mathematics' 90th anniversary. The information also includes their publications in the ORCID and Google Scholar databases, as well as the University repository. The basic stages of establishing mathematical education in the educational institution and its research tendencies are identified.
