Expertise-based (competence) approach is one of the approaches in pedagogy which in the 21st century can be applied to develop important value-based knowledge, skills and habits. Transversal skills help learners to use knowledge in a real-life context, be ready to take on responsibility for their own learning, constituting a complex achievement, and strengthening the link between knowledge and personal experience. These skills can be acquired by purposefully integrating them with the core skills in all subjects, music including. Transversal skills include such components as: cooperation, creative and entrepreneurial ability, civic participation, critical thinking and problem solving, digital literacy, and self-guided learning skills. It is essential to bring the above-mentioned skills into focus in music pedagogy – to substantiate them theoretically and give a practical guidance how they can be seen in a pedagogical reality and develop them within the frame of music teaching in primary school. Research aim: to describe and substantiate how to enhance the development of transversal skills by applying competence approach during a music pedagogy process at primary school. Materials and methods: this paper will provide the analysis of theoretical literature and education documents on the competence approach, examine possibilities of developing transversal skills in music at Music Primary School. Theoretical findings will be brought into foreground in connection with the pedagogical experience obtained while teaching at Jazeps Vitols Latvian Academy of Music and giving music lessons in general education institutions.

The aim of the work was to study the features of pedagogical control of schoolchildren's learning in a modern general education school. Research methods: theoretical: a review of psychological and pedagogical literature on research issues. The advantages of the system for assessing the degree of training are that each subsequent parameter is qualitatively higher than the previous one, and the system as a whole assesses the growth of knowledge and skills of students and the proposed parameters are convenient to operate in practice during the current assessment of knowledge, skills and abilities of students. The disadvantage of the system - the last parameter - "transfer" - characterizes as the student's ability to solve problems of a heuristic and creative type, ie. this stage requires detailing. The teaching function of control is to determine the content, techniques and methods of control, which are educational in nature. Any controlling task, except for the controlling function, trains students in the implementation of specific educational actions, ensuring a more solid mastery of these actions. The controlling task includes an element of novelty in the informative and substantive terms, providing an expansion of the cognitive horizons of students, developing and increasing the learning value of control. It is difficult to eliminate the subjective element of pedagogical control due to various circumstances: the designation of learning outcomes is rather arbitrary: knowledge, abilities, skills, assimilation, academic performance, etc .; methods of direct measurement of educational activity have not been developed, and it is judged indirectly by the answers, by the actions of students. Pedagogical control is an important component of the educational process that influences the result, the course of training and education. This problem is one of the most urgent in teaching practice.

The pervasiveness of popular music and its associated practices in current youth cultures brings into question the relevance and effectiveness of more traditional music pedagogies, and propels a search for a more current and engaging music pedagogy informed by popular music practices. With this as the basis, this study seeks to explore factors that may enable the success and effectiveness of popular music programmes in public schools through the lenses of three Singapore secondary school teachers as they conducted their popular music lessons over seven to ten weeks. In the process, the study also describes how these teachers pragmatically negotiated the execution of these programmes within Singapore's unique educational context. The findings may serve to inform music teachers and school leaders keen to establish similar programmes as a matter of on-going dialogue.

BACKGROUND The incidence of melanoma is increasing worldwide. The effectiveness of treatment is associated with diagnostic and therapeutic delays. In this context, teledermatology (TD), especially store-and-forward TD, is a promising technology, as it can accelerate the care process. However, several studies indicate that the efficiency and reliability of this practice in cases of pigmented skin lesions is not proven and call for further work. OBJECTIVE The main objective of this study was to evaluate management concordance among teledermatologists concerning the appropriate consultation delay when reviewing photographs of suspicious pigmented skin lesions taken with a smartphone by a general practitioner (GP). METHODS Methods: We conducted management concordance analysis among different teledermatologists with experience in TD. The teledermatologists determined the consultation delay to propose to 110 patients with suspicious pigmented skin lesions viewed online based on 241 photographs taken by GPs in a real-life context. The practitioners had to decide among 4 possibilities for care management: 1. urgent need for consultation, 2. nonurgent need for consultation, 3. no need for consultation, and 4. impossible to assess: request for additional information or photographs from the GP. "Major" discordance was defined as follows: one teledermatologist decided that the patient had to receive a consultation within 15 days, while another teledermatologist decided that it was not necessary to see the patient ("simple letter to the attending physician"). RESULTS This study revealed poor agreement among dermatologists when they assessed photographs taken by a GP using a smartphone. The interrater agreement was poor regardless of the analysis modality used. The 2-to-2 interdermatologist management concordance revealed a low Cohen's kappa (between 0.11 and 0.43). Overall agreement was low (Fleiss’ kappa 0.24). We observed major discordance regarding care management for 42 clinical cases (38% of patients). CONCLUSIONS This study is in line with recent studies calling for postponement of the development of store-and-forward TD for the management of skin cancers until additional studies have been carried out.

Mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) is known to be conducive to contextualized language learning. However, the literature lacks an understanding of context. Nor is there a quantitative evaluation tool. The chapter's dependent contextualized variables were the following: real-world context level (one's place), real-life context level (one's life), and device mobility (place diversity). The independent variables were target/non-target country (Taiwan/Israel) and language learning orientation (dedicated/generic). In the target country, the spoken language is the studied language. Dedicated/generic language learning orientation represents the existence/non-existence of pedagogy within activities. Fifty-three Chinese L2 students involved in 296 activities and 519 events were interviewed. Using device mobility and an evaluation index developed to measure real-world/real-life context levels, MALL was found more contextualized in Taiwan only in generic activities. The findings refine our understanding of the benefits of studying in the target country. The index can be used in future studies.
