The study aimed to analyze the reality of e-learning at Palestine Technical University-Khudouri/Tulkarem, and to identify the most important challenges facing students when using the education system, as well as to analyze the extent to which university students interact with the e-learning system, and to show the differences between the average opinions of the study sample on e-learning according to the study variables due to the nature of the study, the descriptive analytical approach was used, in order to reach practical results, and to achieve and analyze the reality of e-learning  a questionnaire consisting of (34) paragraphs was designed, where the study community consisted of (6,559) students, and a simple random sample of (522) students was taken, and the questionnaire was distributed electronically because it was not able to be distributed manually due to the prevailing conditions _ the spread of the Corona pandemic- at the time of the preparation of the study. The results of the study showed that (63.136%) of the researched believe that the reality of e-learning at the university suffers from different problems. The study indicated that (87.97%) among respondents, complaints have increased in the e-learning system after the Corona pandemic and that (81.36%) among the researchers, the infrastructure was one of the most barriers in e-learning. While (63.934%)of the researched that e-learning has a role to play in achieving Interaction among students, as the results of the study showed no differences Statistically significant to the reality of e-learning according to the gender variable, and there are no differences depending on the variable of the scientific qualification except in the field of e-learning reality, there are also no differences Statistics according to the variable of the academic level ,except for the field of Interaction with students. In the light of the results of the study, a series of recommendations were made, the most prominent of which were: 1.Include an e-learning system item in The computer course assigned as a university requirement for first-year students 2. Provide opportunities to train and develop the capabilities of all educational parties to use and apply E-learning.

The article presents the results of the study of an adaptation process of first-year students to the environment of the technical university. The actuality and novelty of this work are conditioned by current changes in the Russian system of higher professional education. The following problems of adaptation are pointed out as typical ones: lack of knowledge of the specifi cs of social interaction at the university in students; inadequate conceptualizations about organization of the educational process at the higher school; an external and mixed career motivation in the fi rst year’s students. A diversifi ed socio-cultural university environment is being described as a factor contributing to acceptance of the social role of «student» at the emotional level. At the same time, forming the cognitive components of the «student» role takes place not earlier than 5-6 weeks of the study at university. The results of this research have shown the necessity of including of adaptation training into the educational process for fi rst-year students.

This article describes the current issues of studying self-image of students of elite technical university. The first-year students have been involved in the study. The cognitive and emotional components of self-image were selected as the subject of the study. Diagnostic research complex included interview methods, questioning, observation, analysis of documents and the author’s projective drawing technique «I am a student». According to the results of the empirical research, 1) such five types of images, as elitism, cognition, integration, difficulties, forcedness have been highlighted; 2) the interpretation of self-image of first-year students by the type of drawing has been carried out.

The article considers the processes of quantitative measurement of the level of somatic health of first year students within adapting period to the educational environment of the University. The aim of the study is to assess the dynamics of the state of students’ somatic health in different periods of training. The study involved 68 students of the main and preparatory groups of the 1st year of the Volgograd State Technical University faculty of Economics and management, with an average age of 18.6±0.76 years. The results of diagnostics and evaluation of physical development, level of physical fitness and functional state of technical University students are presented. The study was organized on the basis of scientific papers in the field of adaptation processes and somatic health R.M. Baevsky (1979), G.L. Apanasenko (1988), N.M. Amosov (1998), E.N. Weiner (2001). Physical fitness testing was based on the use of testing and scoring standards of the curriculum of the Department of physical education. For a comprehensive evaluation of the physical condition E.A. Pirogova’s method was used (1986). The evaluation parameters of somatic health of first year students has changed relative to the periods of study. The lowest rates were observed in the period of admission to the University by the end of the school year, the average during the session, while high — after a period of rest over the holidays. As a result, conclusions are drawn about the need to monitor health factors in order to prevent failures of adaptive indicators that lead to disease. This kind of research monitoring should become a mandatory and permanent event in physical education classes at the University.

The Impact

The article deals with an assessment of the students' workload influence on the academic progress in a technical university. This study was carried out at Tyumen Industrial University, the Branch of IUT in Surgut. The research participants were the first-year students of full-time and part-time departments of the "Oil and Gas Business" direction. The research was done in 2017-2018. Much attention is given to some of the consequences that first-year students have: neuropsychic stress, declining academic progress, and the quality of education. There are reasons for such a state: lack of time, a large amount of information, many classroom hours, irregular distribution of the students' workload intensity of academic disciplines in the first semester, etc. The research gives valuable information on the necessity to improve the system of students' organizational and educational activities, depending on the specific features of a technical university. This study contributes to the existing research on the impact of academic workload on the students' emotional, mental state in higher education. Specifically, it studies the volume of the freshmen's academic workload in accordance with the curriculum, which is one of the main negative factors affecting the level of mental students' performance.

Independent Work

Listening comprehension, as the most challenging receptive aspect of learning a foreign language at a technical university, is considered. It is noted that in addition to linguistic difficulties, students experience such psychological difficulties as a lack of recipient’s own perceptual experience, uncomfortable perception conditions, anxiety and fear of failure to perform this type of speech activity. It is shown that the perceptual activity of students, aimed at the auditory perception of English discourse, is naturally included in the most relevant students’ communicative competence. The study is aimed at considering psychological and pedagogical aspects in teaching ordinary listening comprehension without a video sequence and with the use of video materials. We reveal the advantages of using video materials that contribute to the creation of psychologically comfortable conditions for students in the educational process. Opinion analysis of first-year students of the St. Petersburg State University of Telecommunications on conducting listening comprehension in regular and flipped classroom modes is presented: it turns out that most students prefer to perform listening practice at home. We describe the audiovisual technology of advanced independent work on listening comprehension to professionally oriented video materials using the electronic resources VideoAnt, Mindmeister, LMS MOODLE. An advertising film of the computer company CISCO (USA) was used as video course basis, with its subject fully corresponding to the “Service” programme of St. Petersburg State University of Telecommunications.
