The article is devoted to the problem of the formation of chemical literacy of students of an educational school. It is shown that chemical literacy is a component of natural science literacy, which is considered as a manifestation of functional literacy. The article analyzes the content of the tasks of the international research of natural science literacy PISA from the open bank of tasks. It was found that the tasks are dominated by the context associated with the content of the sciences of physical systems – physics, geography, geology, but practically no content related to chemistry is presented. The literature contains a sufficient number of individual publications that describe different methods of forming chemical literacy. PISA tasks are used as a tool for the formation and assessment of the formation of chemical literacy. But there are no guidelines for chemistry teachers, including a description of the technology for developing tasks in the PISA format and sets of such tasks. As an innovative component, a methodology for preparing tasks in chemistry in the PISA format within the framework of the systemic and competency-based approaches is proposed.

The article examines the actual problem of the discrepancy between, on the one hand, the society's demand for the formation of functional literacy among schoolchildren through cross-subject training for the successful adaptation of school graduates in a complex world, and, on the other hand, the insufficiently developed practice of cross-subject training in general education organizations. In accordance with the identified problem, the purpose of the research proposed in the article is to substantiate the methodological approach to the organization of cross-subject training for the formation of functional literacy of students in schools of general education institutions and its testing on the example of cross-subject tasks. The research was based on a systematic approach that allowed authors to imagine the formation of functional literacy based on cross-subject learning with the performance of certain functions and on the basis of the most suitable forms of organization of the educational process for these tasks. The novelty and peculiarity of current solutions are the development of organizational forms of cross-subject training with reference to functional literacy and using such forms of training organization as project-based training, case-based training, and problem-oriented training. The authors' experience in the development and use of cross-subject tasks is described, and examples of problems that the author's developments are aimed at solving are given. The article also offers a description of the experience in using project-based learning, problem-based learning, and the case study method in developing and solving cross-subject tasks for students. The results of the study may be useful for representatives of general education organizations that implement different forms of functional literacy training using cross-subject tasks.

The article gives a comparative and analytical review of the national systems of accreditation of educational programs according to European, Asia-Pacific and Russian standards of quality assurance in higher education. The emphasis is on the structuring of the main provisions and features of foreign and domestic accreditation systems in the field of education. The main universal blocks of educational activity assessed at accreditation are identified: management of educational process, resources and provision of educational activity, competence and qualification model of a graduate. In accordance with the principles of international and national standards, the requirements to the accreditation procedures of educational activity are set out in the main (universal) diagnostic blocks. For the evaluation of educational activity during the accreditation of higher education institutions the criteria of achievements are given. It is noted that the most important criterion of quality of education at accreditation is the evaluation of educational achievements of students. Difficulties of evaluation of educational results and ensuring their comparability at the international level for understanding the quality of training of specialists in different educational systems are noted. The lack of reliable evaluation tools creates certain difficulties in accreditation. The most problematic is the development and application of evaluation materials with planned activities to identify the levels of competence of students and graduates.

Abstract: This study aims to improve student’s science literacy skills by using 5E Learning Cycle model. The treatment was conducted collaboratively for the topic ‘Structures and functions of plants’ involving Biology lectures, pre-service teachers, and the science school teachers of SMPN 21 Pekanbaru in August 2018. The focus of the observation was on science literacy and learning activities of students, both individually and in groups. Science literacy including scientific, procedural and epistemic knowledge was measured through worksheets. While the aspects of explaining scientific phenomena, evaluating and design scientific investigations, interpreting data, and the evidence were measured using an assessment sheet performance. Curiosity, scientific argumentation and environmental awareness were measured using the observation sheet. Learning activities carried out inside and outside the classroom had a positive impact on literacy skill science. The data showed the students individually or in groups could answer questions in the worksheet, more actively engaged, more enthusiastic and more curious when observing, identifying and grouping plants using real objects around school environment. Some questions arose from students when identifying corn and carrot plants about vegetative and generative structures. Overall, the implementation of 5E Learning Cycle model can improve students' scientific literacy in learning science at SMPN 21 Pekanbaru

This study focuses on adolescents who immigrated to Israel between 2000 and 2002. The aim of the survey on which the article is based was to investigate the determinants of cross-cultural transition, focusing on family problems, identity crises, educational achievements, and language behavior. Since the beginning of the mass immigration from the former Soviet Union, the Israeli educational system has not managed to reorient itself to accommodate the newcomers. Among the main reasons are differences in the Russian and Israeli educational systems and the changing character of the immigration itself. Despite existing problems, the younger generation of these recent immigrants wants to be integrated into Israeli society. It is the task of the formal education system to provide them with support and guide them on a path toward successful adjustment.

AbstractToday, modern educational models are concerned with the development of the teacher-student experience and the potential opportunities it presents. User-centric analyses are useful both in terms of the socio-technical perspective on data usage within the educational domain and the positive impact that data-driven methods have. Moreover, the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education and process innovation has emerged due to the strategic perspectives and the process monitoring that have shown to be missing within the traditional education curricula. This study shows that there is an unprecedented increase in the amount of text-based data in different activities within the educational processes, which can be leveraged to provide useful strategic intelligence and improvement insights. Educators can apply the resultant methods and technologies, process innovations, and contextual-based information for ample support and monitoring of the teaching-learning processes and decision making. To this effect, this paper proposes an Educational Process and Data Mining (EPDM) model that leverages the perspectives or opinions of the students to provide useful information that can be used to enhance the end-to-end processes within the educational domain. Theoretically, this study applies the model to determine how the students evaluate their teachers by considering the gender of the teachers. We analyzed the underlying patterns and determined the emotional valence of the students based on their comments in the Students Evaluation of Teaching (SET). Thus, this work implements the proposed EPDM model using SET comments captured in a setting of higher education.
