As is well-known, the chemical knowledge is acquired at three levels: the macroscopic and tangible (what can be seen, touched and/or smelt); the sub-microscopic (atoms, molecules, ions and structures) and the representational (symbols, formulae, equations, mathematical manipulation, graphs etc.). In order to acquire real knowledge, all factors involved in the educational process (authors of textbooks, teachers, electronic sources of information and students) should do everything possible to avoid formation of school-made erroneous notions (misconceptions). Reported here are the findings of a study on the presence of students’ misconceptions regarding the three levels of representation in the chemistry teaching in the Republic of Macedonia. As our study showed, many school-made misconceptions are due to the fact that students do not distinguish between the three levels of think-ing/representation.

Currently, without the effective information support of scientific research and the educational process, the innovative development of higher education isn’t possible. But the databases of leading publishers such as Springer Nature, Wiley, Elsevier, Oxford University Press and others are very expensive for universities in developing countries and countries with economies in transition. It is necessary to conduct researches to analyze the demand for digital information resources of publishers to determine the most popular sources for each university. The article is devoted to the results of research on the demand for electronic scientific and educational resources in 63 universities of Uzbekistan, as well as their impact on publication activity. Interviewed more than 1200 respondents from among doctoral students, applicants for academic degrees, teachers and researchers. Based on the results of the survey, the most frequently used sources of information for scientific research, problems they face when writing scientific articles, and information resources they often use are identified. Such researches were conducted in the republic for the first time. The results of the survey made it possible to get a clear picture of the state of information support of universities, to develop recommendations to improve of acquisition funds of academic libraries, on organizing and conducting thematic trainings for doctoral students, teachers, and researchers.

Introduction. The article is of relevance due to the ongoing processes of digitalization of the economy of the Russian Federation and the increasing demands on the digital competence of society. The purpose of this paper is to review the factors causing the digital divide and characterize the role of the education system in bridging the digital divide of the population (using the example of the Republic of Bashkortostan). Materials and Methods. Data from the Territorial Statistics Service and other open sources of information were used as the materials for the theoretical part of the study. The experimental part of the study was based on testing of students of the Bashkir State Agrarian University conducted by the author in order to determine their level of digital competence. The research methods employed included collection, systematization and analysis of data. Results. The study has analyzed the quantitative and qualitative indicators of the digital divide in the Republic of Bashkortostan. The main factors causing the digital divide in the Republic have been identified: those associated with the differentiation of the population according to territorial characteristics as well as to economic and social criteria. It has been shown that the problem of the digital divide of rural and urban areas is of great relevance for the Republic of Bashkortostan. The role of vocational education in overcoming digital inequality has been substantiated; the growth of the university students’ level of digital competence as a result of their training has been estimated. Discussion and Conclusion. The issue of bridging the digital divide is a comprehensive one and can be solved only by consolidating the efforts of all members of the society to create a unified digital environment, with the support from regional authorities and involvement of federal government resources. The results are of practical importance for teachers of information technology, as well as for representatives of regional IT-structures. Further areas of study of the problem of the digital divide are associated with the identification of new ways of forming and developing digital competence in the educational process.

Aldehyde Groups

The easy oxidation of the substances containing aldehyde groups using a mild oxidizing agents, such as solutions containing copper(II) or silver(I) ions, can provide a mean to detect the presence of carbohydrates known as reducing sugars. However, using such tests, it is not possible to distinguish between aldoses and ketoses because the alkaline conditions in the reaction system lead to tautomerization of the α-hidroxyketone and immediate oxidation of the product so that both glucose and fructose will react with the oxidizing agents (the Tollens’ and Fehling’s reagents). In fact, the reaction of fructose is even faster than that of glucose. A misinterpretation or simple neglect of these experimental facts is present in some textbooks in the Republic of Macedonia and this influences the chemistry teaching by creating misconceptions among students and teachers.

The current educational system has to prepare the students for professions which should develop tomorrow. The key role of education at this moment in time ought to be the ability to predict the changes and to adapt to them successfully. The final resultant of the educational process is the acquisition of skills which will enable the pupils or students to adapt to the labour market quickly and easily. The connection of education with the labour market is the principal aim of the economy being based on knowledge.In this paper, we make an effort to create an analytic framework for the representation of the educational profiles at the labour market in the Republic of Macedonia. The data contained in the analysis points out to the fact that out of the total number of employees according to their education in the period of 2001-2012, the biggest per cent of employees belongs to the ones with secondary education (three-year and four-year secondary education). In 2001, this percentile participation was 49.6% whereas in 2012, this per cent increased to 53.6%. The second position is being taken up by the employees with primary and lower secondary education (25.42% in 2001). However, as a result of the fact the employment rate had been reducing year by year, in 2012, it was 18.53%. The employees with university education are taking up the third position. In 2001, the percentile participation of employees with university education was 10.53% whereas in 2012, it was 21.6%. This trend is due to the dispersed studies in a large number of towns in the Republic of Macedonia, which have led to increase in the number of graduates. Having in mind this analysis, the public educational institutions are facing the challenge to alter their current structure, to bring about a new structural change and to develop an organizational structure which will be compatible with the general changes at the labour market.

The focus of the paper is gamification, which has been researched typically through its’ implementation in the business sector. Our research follows the implementation of gamification in Higher Educational Institutions, since the same concepts and benefits that function in the workplace, should function with similar effect or yield even better results with students. The topic of gamification in education is a relatively novel one, with only a few papers addressing it in detail, especially on the Balkan region. The contribution of the paper is two-sided, i.e., through primary and secondary research, recommendations for optimal ways of implementing gamified systems in higher education is given, and according to the obtained data, present statistics and implications for implementing gamification in HEIs in the Republic of Macedonia. The core elements and mechanics of gamification are researched and adjusted in the context of education, as well as improving existing implementations of gamification in HEIs through the introduction of cycles of interest (rewards for encouraging a certain type of behavior of students) and cycles of progression (a stepwise increase in the weight of the activities).            The results of the primary research demonstrate that the concept of gamification offers great potential advantages for students and teaching staff, primarily by increasing the level of intrinsic motivation and the degree of completion of subjects. The paper uncovers the gamification mechanics and elements that would work best for HEIs in Macedonia, as well as outline the biggest motivational problems students have when navigating through the educational process. Through the primary research conducted, the first public available information on the introduction of gamification in higher education in the Republic of Macedonia is made available.
