Abstract Many developed countries have been concentrating lately on the quality of preschool education. Generally, what is considered one of the most important aspects of quality preschool education is quality teaching performance, which has been focused on in many research studies. Research also investigates the level of reflection in preschool teachers, especially in relation to their professional development. However, none of the research studies have, so far, focused on observing the relationship between the two phenomena. We carried out a multiple case study to investigate the relationship between the quality of reflection and the quality of teachers´ performance. Eight pre-primary teachers were video-recorded in their work, and subsequently, in-depth interviews were conducted. During the interviews, we used stimulated recall over selected video sequences, focusing specifically on selected aims of education. The findings indicate that teachers with a higher quality of reflection reached higher quality in the selected areas of teachers’ performance. The results also showed that the teachers with a university degree reached higher quality performance. The findings can contribute to the discussion on the professional development support of preschool teachers and can initiate a discussion on the need to examine the university preparation programmes for these teachers.

Labour Potential

The article is devoted to the introduction of innovations in the development of labour potential of enterprises as a factor in improving the economic potential of the country. The possibility of using effective innovations used in the practice of the world's leading countries (including Germany, Great Britain, France, the United States and Japan) in the field of professional development of personnel is mentioned. Mechanisms for improving the efficiency of the system of professional development of staff are proposed. Attention is focused on the involvement of social partners in the organization and control over the quality of vocational training. In order to study effective forms and methods of professional development of staff and the introduction of social innovations in this area, developed and tested in other countries, it is necessary to take into account elements of foreign experience. This is especially justified and extremely relevant today in connection with the active processes of statehood of Ukraine and administrative reform. Contradictions between the needs of modernization of national enterprises and the lack of professional, highly qualified workers, specialists representing the newest activities (there are hundreds of them in the world every year), deteriorating quality of training - all this inevitably has a negative impact on social and labour relations. The main economic interests of the social partners in the field of labour, above all, prevents the desired income. Ukraine will quickly lose the existing advantages in personnel training in the absence of a system of continuous training of employees. The consequence of this situation is the transformation of Ukraine into a «supplier» of cheap labour for European countries and other developed countries. In Ukraine the development of vocational training is an important condition for both the provision of production with highly qualified personnel and increasing its efficiency. However, it has certain shortcomings and requires a change of approach both on the part of the state and on the part of employers, which determines the prospects for further research.

The main aim of this research is to examine the relationship between the styles of coping with stress and the levels of hopelessness of preschool teachers. Relational survey method was used in this research. The research sample consists of 108 preschool teachers working in preschool education institutions in Küçükçekmece district of Istanbul in the spring term of 2015-2016 and selected by the random sampling method. The Teacher Information Form, Styles of Coping with Stress Scale and Beck Hopelessness Scale were used in the data collection. Data collected for the study were analysed using SPSS 20 program. At the end of the research, it was found out that the most used sytle by preschool teachers to cope with stress is the self-confident approach and the least used style is the submissive approach. As the preference rates of the self-confident approach and optimistic approach in coping with stress of preschool teachers increase, the level of hopelessness decreases; as the preference rates of the helpless approach increase, the levels of hopelessness increase. The styles of coping with stress and the levels of hopelessness of preschool teachers do not vary by age, marital status, professional seniority, the number of children they have, the level of income and the school type that they work in.

The article considers a teacher as a subject of monitoring the professional readiness of future workers in the oil and gas industry, who has pedagogical subjectivity in its implementation. This quality of personality is characterized in the context of the teacher's monitoring competence. The structure of pedagogical subjectivity is determined by the features of professional readiness of workers in the oil and gas industry and its monitoring. It involves the relationship of theoretical, technological, and personal components. The article presents the results of a ascertaining experiment that established insufficient formation of structural components of pedagogical subjectivity in monitoring. The expediency of correcting the identified problem aspects and related professional development of teachers to monitor the professional readiness of future workers in the oil and gas industry is justified. It is assumed that the problem of their formation is characterized by industry specifics and is implemented by means of additional professional education.

Positive Results

The paper discusses and highlights the promising modern environmental problems that affect pollution and environmental destruction, affecting the health status of the population. The deterioration of the situation cannot be justified and compensated for by the positive results of the progress of civilization - today the decaying environment is gaining more and more weight even in comparison with the well-being and economic prosperity of developed countries, affecting the dynamics of the state of health. The studies carried out to determine the relationship between the development of psycho-somatic morbidity and environmental factors of environmental pollution are confirmed by a direct correlation dependence. Studies of the evolution of populations and species are described in detail under the increased pressure of mutations caused by pollution of the biosphere of an atomic and nuclear agent. However, until now, these studies have not been carried out with the required depth and scope. The proposed human genetic monitoring sets itself the task of determining the volume and dynamics of the hereditary health disorders in people caused by the influence of the genetic load. It has been proved that the main, methodologically, when working on genetic monitoring of a person is that an increase in the number of genetic pathologies in the population can be established only when reliable quantitative data are obtained. Thus, an absolutely acceptable solution to the contradictions between the quality of health and the state of the ecological situation has not yet been proposed.

The Relationship

The difficulty of conducting an empirical assessment of the true extent of corruption, caused by the lack of the necessary data, has contributed to the emergence of a new round of research focusing on the study of the influence of various factors on corruption. At the same time, such studies are distinguished by a variety of approaches to the choice of indicators and objects of study, as well as by the difference, and sometimes contradictory conclusions. These circumstances actualize the research topic. The purpose of the article to determine the relationship between corruption, economic growth and the quality of life of the population in five countries of the world, representing different parts of the world and geo-economics regions. The hypothesis of the study is the assertion that for developed countries the correlation between perceptions of corruption and indicators will be lower than for developing countries. The objects of research are Kazakhstan, Russia, Germany, USA and Finland. The subject of the research the relationship between the level of corruption, economic growth and the quality of life of the population. The study uses statistical research methods. The initial data of the study were the reports of Transparency International on the Corruption Perceptions Index, UNDP on the Human Development Index, as well as official data from the state statistical services of the countries in question.In the course of the work, the boundaries of the interpretation of the term “corruption” were determined, the relevance of the study of the relationship between corruption, GDP per capita and the quality of life was briefly described, and a correlation analysis was carried out between the indicators. The results of the study represent conclusions about the quality and strength of the relationship between corruption, economic growth and the quality of life of the population. The scientific contribution of the research is to substantiate possible directions for improving research to establish the relationship between corruption and other socio-economic indicators. The practical significance of the study lies in the presentation of the evidence base for the fact that the relationship of the studied indicators may be different in different countries. The direction for future research is the possibility of using the assessment methodology for other groups of countries.
