This article focuses on the problem of students' individuality developing as an important part of human individuality in the process of distance and online education during Covid-19 Pandemic. The theoretical basis is O. Grebenyuk’s individuality concept. In it, the individuality is defined as the unity of seven spheres, including intellectual, motivational, emotional, volitional, practical and subject-oriented, self-regulative and existential ones which are characterized the originality and uniqueness of a person. Positive students' individuality developing affects success of higher education and professional activity in medicine. This study adresses three key issues. First, it looks at the problem of students' individuality developing in the process of distance and online education during Covid-19 Pandemic. Second, it turns to examine dynamics of students' individuality spheres and components during one semester of professional training at the university. Finally, the paper considers gender differences in dynamics of students' individuality. The data for this study were collected using the questionnaire “The Technique of Student’s Individuality” by T. Grebenyuk. Eighty-five students were recruited for this research. The participants study at Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, they are future health professionals. The results suggest that in the process of distance and on-line education during Covid-19 Pandemic, positive dynamics in the development of all individuality spheres of medical students is revealed, especially in the motivational and intellectual spheres. The dynamics of all individuality spheres have differences in the male group of medical students except the existential sphere. But this problem needs deeper research.

Development Of Students

This article focuses on the problem of volitional sphere developing as an important part of human individuality. The theoretical basis is O. Grebenyuk’s individuality concept. In it, the individuality is defined as the unity of seven spheres, including volitional one which characterise the originality and uniqueness of a person. Positive development of volitional sphere affects self-development and success of preschool teacher's professional activity. This study adresses three key issues. First, it looks at the problem of volitional sphere in preschool teacher’s individuality and identifies the system of professionally important components. Second, it turns to examine dynamics of students ' volitional sphere during professional training at the university. Finally, the paper considers professionally important components of the volitional sphere that need to be developed. The data for this study were collected using the questionnaire “The Technique of Student’s Individuality” by T. Grebenyuk. Sixty-three students were recruited for this research. The participants study at Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, they are future preschool teachers. The results suggest that the structure of the volitional sphere changes from the first to the fourth year of study. In the fourth year, the components, that influence the development of subjectivity, dominate. The capacity for prolong volitional effort is not sufficiently developed among all participants in the study.

The article describes the peculiarities of applying a systematic approach to the training of future philologists in universities. The research goal is to clarify the methodological features of a systematic approach to the philologist training in a modern university. The research methods are the scientific analysis, systematization, classification, modeling. Results. The main factors determining the need for a systematic approach have been identified (the common sociocultural processes in the language environment of many countries lead to linguistic unification (formerly English-speaking) and to preservation of their linguistic identity as the basis for national identity; the increase of the level of individual mobility, in the field of education including, development of polylingual, bilingual and multicultural links in education; new challenges and risks in the area of professional training related to the digitalization and dissemination of online education models in the context of global pandemics and the distance education segment expansion). Moreover, basing on the analysis of scientific sources (methodological bases for the training of philologists; contents and basic models of the training of these specialists; ICT as a systematic resource for the training of philologists), the opinion about the necessity of application of pedagogical systemology to the professional training of students-philologists in university conditions is substantiated. The analysis of the pedagogical and linguistic segments of systemology made it possible to identify the leading systemic characteristics of the training of philologists at the university (essence, composition, structure, functions, history of the system) and to investigate the manifestation of the systemic characteristics of the studied phenomenon in the conditions of the university environment as a systemic object. It is noted that the training of future philologists at the university as a system is synergistic; the professional training of philologists at the university as a system object is characterized as a complex open dynamic purposeful system with characteristics of continuous self-organization. Conclusions. It was concluded that the training of philologists as a complex system involves a certain number of structural components (content, human resources, information, technological resources) for its functioning; the system is open-ended (to other pedagogical systems) in its nature, complementarity and interconnection with the scientific and technological systems implemented in other areas of training. It has been proved that the systematic characteristics of the training of specialists in the field of philology are provided by the specific guidelines for the establishment, operation and development of this system; the objectives of the above-mentioned specialists’ training determine its content and end result, that is a competent specialist in his or her professional field and qualified in the professional activity, capable of self-education and self-development.

The purpose of the study is to develop a model for the formation of professional reflection of future specialists in physical therapy, ergotherapy and to study the impact of its implementation in the process of professional training. Based on the theoretical analysis of the scientific literature, we have developed a model for the formation of professional reflection of future specialists in physical therapy and ergotherapy. The model developed is based on a reflexive approach, which assumes that a person has the capacity to take an active research position in relation to his activity and to himself as his subject, in order to critically analyze, understand and evaluate its effectiveness for its development. The approach to reflective activity allows us to consider reflection as a mechanism for the development and implementation of activity, in turn, activity is the object of reflection. The essence of this approach is most consistent with the understanding of the professional reflection of specialists in physical therapy, ergotherapy as an integral part of professional activity, which led to the development of a program of work with students on its basis. Psychological methods, a specially designed questionnaire and an expert evaluation method were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the model. Formation of professional reflection of future specialists in physical therapy, ergotherapy is presented in the form of three successive interrelated stages. The components of professional reflection of specialists in physical therapy and ergotherapy are covered. We used the methods of diagnostics of reflexivity and examination twice, before the beginning of the experimental work and after its completion. The analysis of the experimental work showed that the students of the experimental group significantly increased the level of formation of each of the components of professional reflection of specialists in physical therapy and ergotherapy. The results of the study make it possible to outline a number of unresolved problems, the development of which is dictated by the needs of the theory and practice of the entire education system. According to the results of the study, the introduction of the developed model in the process of professional training of future specialists in physical therapy and ergotherapy will contribute to the formation of professional reflection.

This study examines the factors influencing online education for selected Sri Lankan universities during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also analyses the moderate effect of gender and type of the university on online education. Primary data were collected using a questionnaire via google form from Management students in Sri Lankan selected universities. Data analysis was done through structural equations using analysis of moment structures (AMOS) version 22.0. Attitude, internet and related facilities, curriculum, and self-motivation were found to have a significant positive impact on online education, while workload & time have no significant effect on online education. Among four factors, the strongest influence was derived from self-motivation followed by the curriculum. We have not found significant differences among male and female students’ views on online education, while the impact from the type of university is different among the two categories. This study effectively guides policy makers and university administrators across the educational institutes to decide on continuing online education. It reveals some insights to the teachers, students, and parents to understand the significance of the modern online learning environment and its positive impact on the new learning mode. There is no study related to the factors associated with the impact of online education during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Sri Lankan context.

This chapter discusses using a broad humanities perspective to teach medical students about climate change. It argues that the humanities can recover a more robust approach to bioethics and serve as a bridge between students’ professional training and their own spiritual and moral convictions. The chapter describes a short elective course taught to first- and second-year students at the McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. It concludes with a class exercise in which students read the Physician Charter and write a short paper that takes one commitment from the charter and applies it to climate change.

New System

Despite the difficulties encountered, in connection with the transition to a new system of higher education, and the process of professional training of architects and designers remains the most important tool for preserving the national "architectural school" in Russia. Today, in higher architectural education in Russia, there has been a reduction in the basic educational program in many disciplines in favor of independent work. This and other factors lead to some misunderstanding and loss of interest in the training process among students. The scientific novelty of the study consists in determining a set of pedagogical conditions for the development of interest in professional training at the university among future architects and designers at the current stage; in clarifying the content of the concepts of "professional architectural activity", "emotionally comfortable creative educational environment", "interest in professional architectural and design training", which made it possible to systematize the theoretical basis for the development of interest in professional activity among future architects and designers. The results of the experiment were obtained, during which a set of pedagogical conditions were implemented to increase the level of development of interest in professional training at the university among future architects and designers.

Following the World Health Organization’s announcement of the global pandemic because of the Coronavirus Disease 2019, most Canadian universities transitioned to offering their courses exclusively online. One group affected by this transition was students with disabilities. Previous research has shown that the university experience for students with disabilities differs from those of their non-disabled peers. However, their unique needs are often not taken into consideration. As a result, students can become marginalized and alienated from the online classroom. In partnership with Student Accessibility Services, this research revealed the impact of the transition to online learning because of the pandemic for university students with disabilities. Students registered with Student Accessibility Services completed a survey about the effects of online learning during a pandemic on the students’ lives, education, and instructional and accommodation. It was clear from the results that online education during COVID-19 affected all aspects of the students’ lives, particularly to their mental health. This research provided a much-needed opportunity for students with disabilities to share the factors influencing their educational experience and identified recommendations instructors should consider when developing online courses to increase accessibility and improve engagement.
