The authors set out the importance of the inter-relationship between engineering education and practice, in the context of the US Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology's Engineering Criteria 2000. They suggest that cooperative education can play a key role in filling the gap between theory and application in the teaching of engineering students, and point out that their proposals, although made in the specific context of the USA, have international relevance as the trend towards ‘globalization’ reduces national distinctions. The paper examines the learning needs of engineering students, lists the key challenges facing educational institutions, presents a model of the cooperative education process, and illustrates it with a case example of cooperative education in practice in the Electrical and Computer Engineering programme at Northeastern University.

Level Of Satisfaction

Gamification has proved to be a methodology that increases the likelihood of success and sustainability of educational institutions. This methodology has recently revealed itself as one of the most efficient teaching methodologies in the student body, proving useful at all educational levels. One of the most frequently mentioned properties is its ability to “reset” the student’s attention clock: the key is collective learning, an attractive way of remembering new content. The experience described below has been developed in the context of a generalist university in two very different degrees: Degree in Teacher Training and Degree in Computer Engineering. To develop the theoretical sessions, the master class was combined with the use of the Kahoot tool. The observations made by the teachers in relation to the dynamics of the theoretical classes show that the use of Kahoot at the end of the theoretical sessions increased the students’ attendance at class, in addition to their involvement in the sessions and they kept their attention for longer. This study has also shown that there are significant differences in the level of satisfaction shown by the students of both degrees with these tools.

The article, based on the analysis of foreign and domestic scientific sources, attempts to summarize the experience of school mediation services in foreign countries and analyze the state and prospects of such technology of socio-pedagogical work with school conflicts in Ukrainian educational institutions. It has been established that school mediation exists in many countries of the world: Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Great Britain, Germany, Finland, Russia, Belarus and others. But the models of functioning of school mediation services have certain differences. In those countries where the traditions of indigenous peoples have been preserved (Native Americans in America, Maori tribes in New Zealand), the neighborhood (community) model of school mediation is popular. Professional mediation is more common in European countries, when specialists (lawyers, judges, psychologists) are turned to for help in resolving conflicts. Working with young offenders, restorative practices, peer mediation and multicultural mediation are popular. It was found that in Ukraine the first attempt to operate mediation services at school was made in Odessa in 2001. The introduction of school mediation is mainly carried out through the School Reconciliation Service. They use restorative practices in their activities and operate on the principle of "peer to peer". Today, the activity of these services has not become a mass phenomenon in domestic educational institutions, but remains an innovation, the spread of which is constrained by a number of reasons.

Under policies of the new national security regime, undocumented migrants are more susceptible to being striped of due process, becoming ineligible for basic social services and facing heightened fears of deportation. Central Americans are among the national origin groups with the highest rates of criminal and non criminal forced removals. While the deportation story largely ends for the US once deportees are sent “home”, the impact for receiving nations presents an ongoing challenge as new democracies struggle with mounting gang violence contributed by expatiated youth who were “made in the USA”. Ill equipped to deal with the rise in organized crime, receiving nations have turned to mano dura or zero-tolerance strategies on the advice of regional enforcement agencies. Here we explore the deportation of undocumented migrants under the new security regime and to responses to deportations in several Central American nations.

The first serious attempt at refuelling in flight was made in the USA in 1923 under the direction of Major (later General) H. H. Arnold, in which two aircraft were equipped as tankers, each with a 50 ft length of hose, and a flight of 37 hr 15 min was achieved. Towards the end of that year the first serious attempt in Europe was made in France.There was then a lull until January 1929 when the US War Department sponsored some duration flights, the best known being that by the Fokker “Question Mark” under the command of Major (later General) Carl Spaatz which remained airborne for 150 hours. This flight was followed by a spate of US commercial pilots’ attempts until in 1930 the endurance record stood at 647½ hr. Most of these flights in themselves were of little practical value but they aroused the interest of Sqn. Ldr. (later Air Marshal Sir Richard) R. L. R. Atcherley, RAF while taking part in the National Air Races in the USA in 1930. On his return to Transjordan, where he was stationed, he set to work devising an improved method of contact, the results of which were patented. He also planned to demonstrate his new method with an attempt on the duration record but was refused permission by the Air Ministry.

The article deals with one of the key characteristics of the American education, the elective system of courses that was a reply for the community demands. Also, it became the outcome of relationship of educational institutions with various social groups whose support was crucial for the survival and well-being of American colleges and universities. For the American educational system, the abovementioned characteristics was the result of its historic process of the national educational system development. The author argues that this feature, sometimes aggressively imposed in Russia, might become destructive and bring to the deterioration and even destroy the unique educational system built in absolutely opposite principles than the educational system of the USA. The article analyzes the given characteristic of the US educational system and shows the critique of the American educators and experts, which gives an opportunity to ponder in depth and make a responsible decision in terms of copying the feature into the Russian educational system.

Abstract. The current study examines the item and scalar equivalence of an abbreviated school-based universal screener that was cross-culturally translated and adapted from English into German. The instrument was designed to assess student behavior problems that impact classroom learning. Participants were 1,346 K-6 grade students from the US (n = 390, Mage = 9.23, 38.5% female) and Germany (n = 956, Mage = 8.04, 40.1% female). Measurement invariance was tested by multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) across students from the US and Germany. Results support full scalar invariance between students from the US and Germany (df = 266, χ2 = 790.141, Δχ2 = 6.9, p < .001, CFI = 0.976, ΔCFI = 0.000, RMSEA = 0.052, ΔRMSEA = −0.003) indicating that the factor structure, the factor loadings, and the item thresholds are comparable across samples. This finding implies that a full cross-cultural comparison including latent factor means and structural coefficients between the US and the German version of the abbreviated screener is possible. Therefore, the tool can be used in German schools as well as for cross-cultural research purposes between the US and Germany.

This article examines fundamental questions of monetary policy in the context of challenges to the national security of Russia in connection with the imposition of economic sanctions by the US and the EU. It is proved that the policy of the Russian monetary authorities, particularly the Central Bank, artificially limiting the money supply in the domestic market and pandering to the export of capital, compounds the effects of economic sanctions and plunges the economy into depression. The article presents practical advice on the transition from external to domestic sources of long-term credit with the simultaneous adoption of measures to prevent capital flight.
