Personal Qualities

Introduction. The increasing pace of knowledge renewal around the world and the unification of teacher requirements are changing the functioning and management of the higher education system. Transformational processes in the socio-economic sphere of Russia entail profound changes and increased requirements for the educational process at all its levels. The quality of education is largely determined by teachers, their level of training, the presence of the necessary personal characteristics and social and professional competencies.The aim of the present article is to consider the approaches of Russian and foreign researchers to the classification of competencies of scientific and pedagogical workers, to determine the range of personal qualities and key socio-professional competencies of scientific and pedagogical workers in educational and research activities.Methodology and research methods. Semi-structured expert interviews were conducted with 84 scientific and pedagogical workers of Tyumen State University, Tomsk State University, St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, St. Petersburg University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics. The choice of universities is determined by their participation in the Project 5-100 (Russian Academic Excellence Project) and high positions in Russian university ratings.Results and scientific novelty. A comparative analysis of research approaches allowed the authors to identify an unstructured list of priority competencies (necessary for educational and pedagogical activities) of scientific and pedagogical workers of higher educational institutions. Since educational activities at the university are aimed at the formation of certain professional competencies and values among students, the priority personal qualities and socio-professional competencies in educational activities include the following: highly specialised skills and general erudition; methodological skills; continuing professional development; motivation for pedagogical work; communication skills; emotional intelligence and stress resistance; charisma, modernity in communication; justice; critical thinking and reflection. Pedagogical activity at universities is closely related to the participation of the lecturer in scientific research. The success of pedagogical activity is largely determined by the following aspects: professionalism and desire to update competencies; operability and self-control; teamwork skills; analytical skills and academic writing skills; inclusion in the world scientific agenda; adherence to scientific ethics. The research novelty lies in the compilation of the structured list of personal qualities and socio-professional competencies of a modern teacher in educational and research activities.Practical significance. Using the presented range of significant competencies of scientific and pedagogical workers, HR managers in universities can implement specific management projects aimed at developing personal qualities and social and professional competencies of employees, make informed decisions in the selection and development ofpersonnel, and personnel changes. The research results can also be employed by scientific and pedagogical workers of universities when building their individual trajectories of professional and personal development.

Personal Qualities

Research purpose was to develop a framework for the systematic assessment of the personal qualities formation in graduates of educational institutions in regard of preventing behavioral deviations and risks reduction of personal student’s development vector changing. An indicator of the effectiveness of this activity is the normative students’ behavior, based on the value system enshrined inthe Federal State Educational Standard (FSES) in the form of a personal “portrait of a graduate of the school”. However, the evaluation criteria and the methodology for identifying these qualities are not presented in the Federal Educational Standard. Methods and techniques. The methodological basis of the study is a functional-role approach. During the empirical study, the method of expert assessments and the method “Repertory Lattices” by J. Kelly were used. Results and scientific novelty. To achieve the goal of the study, we have proposed a methodology for identifying and evaluating the formation of a educational institution graduate’s personal qualities. The methodological basis of the study is a functional-role approach that allows systematisation of personal qualities in accordance with FSES. An important feature of the approach implemented is the ability to assess personal characteristics that form the inner picture of the world and the subjective values system of the student,which ensures compliance with the requirements of the FSES general education to diversify the psychological and pedagogical support of the educational process, socialization and education of students. Practical significance. The implemented of the framework as a diagnostic tool would facilitate to interface and simultaneously solve two diagnostic problems. The use of “Repertory grids” allows us to overcome the distortion of the results of the study in the interests of achieving social approval and reconstruct the values system and meanings of the subject. The use of psychosemantics methods in combination with a functional-role approach provides the ability to score subjective-personal characteristics that form the inner picture of the world and the subjective system of values of students.

Aim/Purpose: To date, few studies have investigated the impact of global health crises on the academic writing of doctoral candidates. This paper seeks to start a conversation about the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on doctoral candidates’ academic writing output and strategies. Background: This paper employs and analyses data elicited from surveys and interviews involving doctoral candidates from around the world. Data were collected during April 2020, at a time when government-mandated lockdowns and restrictions on movement were in full force in many countries around the world. Methodology: Surveys were conducted with 118 doctoral candidates from over 40 institutions based in four continents. Follow-up interviews were carried out with four doctoral candidates enrolled in an Australian institution. A qualitative descriptive design, employing thematic analysis, is used to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on doctoral candidates’ writing output and strategies. The data analysis includes statistical descriptions of the surveys. Contribution: This paper provides insights into the myriad challenges and obstacles facing doctoral candidates during the COVID-19 pandemic. It describes the writing strategies adopted by doctoral candidates during a period of significant societal disruption, and illustrates how thematic analysis can be employed in research involving global health crises. Findings: Despite the adoption of novel approaches to academic writing, which appear in an insignificant minority of respondents, doctoral candidates’ overall commitment to academic writing has been negatively impacted by the pandemic. Similarly, delays to academic research activities caused by the pandemic have resulted in a significant decline in commitment (motivation) to academic writing and a substantial impact on doctoral candidates’ ability to write about their research. Recommendations for Practitioners: Supervisors and mentors should strive to provide doctoral candidates with timely feedback during the pandemic. Given the impact of the pandemic on doctoral candidates’ mental health and motivation to write, increased institutional and peer support is required to help doctoral candidates overcome academic issues during the pandemic and future health crises. This researcher recommends consulting regularly with and offering individually tailored solutions to doctoral candidates who are struggling to work on their theses during the pandemic. Similarly, institutions should empower supervisors in ways that allow them to provide greater levels of support to doctoral candidates. Recommendation for Researchers: Further research on the impacts of the pandemic on various academic cohorts, such as early career researchers (doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and assistant professors) and student cohorts (e.g., undergraduate and postgraduate), will clarify the extent to which the pandemic is impacting the academic writing of doctoral candidates. Impact on Society: The pressure placed on doctoral candidates to produce quality academic writing seems to have been heightened by the pandemic. This has a range of adverse effects for the higher education sector, particularly administrators responsible for managing doctoral candidate success and the academe, which recruits many of its faculty from holders of doctorate degrees. Future Research: Additional focus on academic writing of doctoral candidates during the pandemic is needed. Research should include randomised samples and represent a range of academic disciplines.

The article shows the directions of enriching of the dynamically changing environment of children's life with attentiveness practices to everyday life, to details of the world around us, to speech and texts. The conditions of the organization of semantic perception are examined: on the example of the tradition of cognitive attentiveness in child-adult research activities and the practice of searching for the meaning of texts. The content and methods of work with a special type of texts that lack semantic stereotype are analyzed in detail. These are text tasks on ingenuity (“provocative” texts). For children of 5-7 years old, they act not only as logic tasks, but rather as situations that are surprising and fun, initiating joint intellectual activity (by analogy with verbal games widely represented in folklore). The child learns to listen attentively to the speech of an adult and peer; highlights the signs of the situation described in the text and grasps its meaning. The search for answers to the questions posed is carried out in the process of group discussion, through actions and trying to play the situation.

Automating scheduling is a classic task in learning management systems. The process of scheduling is, in a sense, the final one in the chain of support of educational activities, and its automation reveals all inconsistencies and shortcomings of the previous processes. In order for the scheduling to be automated as much as possible, a lot of various initial information should be processed in the information systems of the university — curricula, staff, workload, schedule of the educational process, contingent of students, classroom fund. It is especially difficult for universities with educational programs of various orientations — natural science, humanitarian, creative, etc., which have specific principles for organizing and conducting classes.The level of automation of educational activities at Dostoevsky Omsk State University, a classical university with a wide variety of types of educational programs, made it possible to tackle the task of scheduling. However, during the implementation of the automated scheduling system, the project team faced a number of problems.The article describes the results of the project for the transition to an electronic schedule in Dostoevsky Omsk State University using the circulation software product 1C:Automated scheduling. University based on the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 system. Initial data on the individual workload of teachers, the classroom fund, the list of student groups, and the list of disciplines were loaded into the configuration from the existing information system of design of Dostoevsky Omsk State University. Based on the results of the audit of the downloaded reference information, the initial data, including curricula, were normalized. The compiled schedule in two modes (manual and automatic) was published on the official website of the university and is used to operate a chatbot on the VKontakte network to inform students and teachers about upcoming classes.

Methodological Principles

Teaching translation in the global educational environment is associated with the integration of theoretical, methodological and didactic approaches: the search for effective solutions to translation problems can be optimized due to the openness and intensity of academic discussions and the large scale of professional communication of translators. This article considers it necessary to analyze the current translation paradigm focusing on its functionality in preparing translators for the work with texts of tourism discourse and to suggest a variant of didactic translation of tourism texts. The analysis of national and foreign academic and educational papers has been carried out. These papers describe didactic models in teaching different types of translation and discourse-dependent translation strategies. The theoretically substantiated methodological principles forming the basis for the didactization of tourism texts are studied in the article. The research material is represented by the German and Russian texts, which were used in the educational process at Volgograd State University (Russia) and at Johannes Gutenberg University (Germany). The theoretical basis is represented by the concepts of various Russian and German translation scholars, which are significant in the educational process of both universities. The article reveals an algorithm of tourism texts didacticization, shows the genre specifics of tourism texts and studies the problematic areas caused by the cultural transfer of tourism-relevant information. The recommendations for the pre-translation analysis of texts are suggested, since the cultural dimension influences the translation of tourism texts. The practical significance of the research consists in the possibility of using the developed didactic principles in translators’ training. The results of the research can be useful for both specialists in translation studies and intercultural communication and specialists in the field of tourism.
