The aim: The aim of this article, taking into account aviation personnel professional training evolution and information technologies development, is a presentation of approach to problems solving, relating to future air traffic controllers training personalization by means of training individual profiles forming, taking into account their cognitive characteristics. The method: The approach, which is based on selected criteria – oriented test, by means of which the proper training styles defined, is described in this article. The results: depending on the defined training style, the variants of instructor’s guidance of knowledge, skills and habits acquisition process will be defined. The discussion: In future it provides the possibility to project the training packages according to ‘pupils’ individualized cognitive abilities, relating to reception of professionally oriented training materials.

The study explores decision-making practices among Air Traffic Controllers (ATCOs) in the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) in Sarawak, Malaysia, using the Cynefin Framework. The study intends to identify related factors that influence decision-making practices, explore how decisions are made during conflict resolution, and describe the coping strategies in decision-making practices by ATCOs. The qualitative phenomenology case study method was used to collect data and one-to-one interviews with the ATCOs. Content analysis is used to analyse the data. The findings showed that ATCOs types and working experiences influence the way they make decisions. Decision-making among ATCOs is like the Administrative Model in which they must follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) as their strategies in decision-making. Findings contribute toward an understanding of current decision-making practices, which would inform relevant policies and professional training development programmes.

The article presents the results of the research on the problem of the use of electronic educational resources in would-be teachers’ professional training and classifies electronic educational resources. Special attention is given to electronic resources for educational purposes, electronic educational and methodological package in particular (ELMP). The authors characterize the stages and principles of ELMP designing and determine its functions in would-be teachers’ professional training at institutes of higher education. The process of ELMP designing implies the integration of the traditional and innovative didactic facilities, electronic educational resources and teaching methods in order to establish active cooperation between teachers and students. The use of ELMPs ensures the efficient high-quality support for various forms of professional training; intensifies the development of students’ intellectual and creative capabilities; reinforces learning motivation through the use of an apt ELMP interface; improves the comprehension of training materials; accelerates the formation of would-be teachers’ professional skills; fosters professional competence in the sphere of information technologies and mental flexibility in professional problems solving in the process of would-be teachers’ professional training at institutes of higher education. The use of ELMPs in would-be teachers’ professional training gives the following advantages: high technological effectiveness of creating and use; high level of systematization of educational and methodological materials; realization of various functions; advanced facilities in presenting (visualizing) training materials. The research shows that compared to electronic educational resources for educational purposes, ELMPs considerably improve the efficiency of teaching due to the ability of ELMP to respond to students’ needs enabling a dialogue with the training system, the capability of timely renewal of training materials, the opportunity to introduce references to other electronic educational resources into ELMP; the capability of ELMP to adapt to students’ individual abilities and needs through various learning pathways and different complexity levels of tests included in ELMP.

Abstract The problem of professional training of skilled human personnel in the industry of information communication technology, the urgency of which is recognized at the state level of Ukraine and the world, has been considered. It has been traced that constantly growing requirements of the labour market, swift scientific progress require the use of innovative approaches to the training of future ІТ specialists with the aim to increase their professional level. The content of standards of professional training and development of information technologies specialists in foreign countries, particularly in Japan, has been analyzed and generalized. On the basis of analysis of educational and professional standards of Japan, basic requirements to the engineer in industry of information communication technology in the conditions of competitive environment at the labour market have been comprehensively characterized. The competencies that graduate students of educational qualification level of bachelor in the conditions of new state policy concerning upgrading the quality of higher education have been considered. The constituents of professional competence in the structure of an engineer-programmer’s personality, necessary on different levels of professional improvement of a specialist for the development of community of highly skilled ІТ specialists, have been summarized. Positive features of foreign experience and the possibility of their implementation into the native educational space have been distinguished. Directions for modernization and upgrading of the quality of higher education in Ukraine and the prospects for further scientific research concerning the practice of specialists in information technologies training have been suggested

The negative and persistent impact of the human factor on the statistics of aviation accidents and serious incidents makes proactive studies of the attitude of “front line” aviation operators (air traffic controllers, flight crewmembers) to dangerous actions or professional conditions as a key component of the current paradigm of ICAO safety concept. This “attitude” is determined through the indicators of the influence of the human factor on decision-making, which also include the systems of preferences of air traffic controllers on the indicators and characteristics of professional activity, illustrating both the individual perception of potential risks and dangers, and the peculiarities of generalized group thinking that have developed in a particular society. Preference systems are an ordered (ranked) series of n = 21 errors: from the most dangerous to the least dangerous and characterize only the danger preference of one error over another. The degree of this preference is determined only by the difference in the ranks of the errors and does not answer the question of how much time one error is more dangerous in relation to another. The differential method for identifying the comparative danger of errors, as well as the multistep technology for identifying and filtering out marginal opinions were applied. From the initial sample of m = 37 professional air traffic controllers, two subgroups mB=20 and mG=7 people were identified with statisti-cally significant at a high level of significance within the group consistency of opinions a = 1%. Nonpara-metric optimization of the corresponding group preference systems resulted in Kemeny’s medians, in which the related (middle) ranks were missing. Based on these medians, weighted coefficients of error hazards were determined by the mathematical prioritization method. It is substantiated that with the ac-cepted accuracy of calculations, the results obtained at the second iteration of this method are more ac-ceptable. The values of the error hazard coefficients, together with their ranks established in the preference systems, allow a more complete quantitative and qualitative analysis of the attitude of both individual air traffic controllers and their professional groups to hazardous actions or conditions.
