The article considers the main possibilities of virtual reality tools to support the STEAM approach in general education institutions. The focus is on the benefits of virtual reality for the implementation of STEAM education. The statistics of the law firm Perkins Coie LLP and XR Association «Determining the role of industry in the future of immersive technologies» on the research of the implementation of augmented and virtual realities in 2019. The attitude of teachers of general education institutions of Ukraine to the use of virtual reality in the implementation of the STEAM approach is analyzed. Particular attention is paid to VR applications for the STEAM approach in general school. Some virtual reality applications for general education institutions are offered, such as Google Expeditions, 3D Organon Anatomy, Lecture VR, StarTracker VR-Mobile Sky Map, Nano2d, VR Roller Coaster, Volumetric oscilloscope, Calcflow and others. We concluded that the use of virtual reality opens up many new opportunities in learning and STEAM education that are too complex, time consuming or expensive with traditional approaches. Virtual reality is able not only to provide information about the phenomenon itself, but also to demonstrate it with any degree of detail. A virtual educational environment is a creative environment in which learning is possible with the motivation of students, their emotional uplift and a positive, optimistic mood. A necessary condition for the use of a virtual educational environment is the implementation of a personality-oriented approach and the development and improvement of teaching methods, in particular in the fields of STEAM. Prospects for further research are the design of the STEAM model of oriented educational environment using virtual reality tools.

In this article existing approaches to the development and implementation of an individual educational route for a younger student in an inclusive school environment were analyzed. This work was carried out as part of the dissertation research. The author presents the results of a comparative analysis of regulatory and pedagogical literature, revealing the content of such concepts as individual educational trajectory, educational environment, educational space, individual educational route, and individual curriculum. The contradictions between modern scientific ideas about the essence of an individual path in education for normatively developing children and its reduction in inclusive practice to a consolidated plan of correctional and developmental work are revealed. If in the first case, the role of the student is characterized by subjectivity, the goals of individualization of education are associated with the identification and implementation of the cognitive interests and inclinations of the child, and the role of the teacher is to provide pedagogical support and facilitation, to promote educational ideas, trials, then in the situation of developing an individual educational route for a student with disabilities of health in the center of attention is his nosology. The "route" here represents the stages of the correctional and developmental work of specialists, which is a necessary condition for the child's life, his development, but not the only tool for the individualization of education, understood as the process and result of building a person's image through the development of culture in ways that are adequate for him, at a pace and choice of content... The article proposes the author's interpretation of the concept of an individual educational route for a child with disabilities, identifies the structural components, highlights the participants contributing to its formation. As the basic resources of the variable educational environment, based on this environment an individual educational route is designed, it is proposed to consider the spheres of additional and informal education. The author presents a semi-structured interview as a pedagogical tool that allows you to design an individual educational route and evaluate its effectiveness within the framework of an anthropological approach to education. The proposed semi-structured interview as a pedagogical toolkit is intended for use in group work with the inclusion of a family raising a child with disabilities, a teacher of additional education, and other members of the inclusive community. The results and conclusions of the article, the described stages of the semi-structured interview can be used in the work of psychological and pedagogical councils of general education schools that implement educational programs for children with special educational needs.

Processing Mechanisms

The role of top-down processing on the horizontal-vertical line length illusion was examined by means of an ambiguous room with dual visual verticals. In one of the test conditions, the subjects were cued to one of the two verticals and were instructed to cognitively reassign the apparent vertical to the cued orientation. When they have mentally adjusted their perception, two lines in a plus sign configuration appeared and the subjects had to evaluate which line was longer. The results showed that the line length appeared longer when it was aligned with the direction of the vertical currently perceived by the subject. This study provides a demonstration that top-down processing influences lower level visual processing mechanisms. In another test condition, the subjects had all perceptual cues available and the influence was even stronger.

Traditional Approaches

E-governance is a paradigm shift over the traditional approaches in Public Administration which means rendering of government services and information to the public by using electronic means. In the past decades, service quality and responsiveness of the government towards the citizens were least important but with the approach of E-Government the government activities are now well dealt. This paper withdraws experiences from various studies from different countries and projects facing similar challenges which need to be consigned for the successful implementation of e-governance projects. Developing countries like India face poverty and illiteracy as a major obstacle in any form of development which makes it difficult for its government to provide e-services to its people conveniently and fast. It also suggests few suggestions to cope up with the challenges faced while implementing e-projects in India.

This paper looks to expand on the INEC 2016 paper ‘The future role of virtual reality within warship support solutions for the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers’ presented by Ross Basketter, Craig Birchmore and Abbi Fisher from BAE Systems in May 2016 and the EAAW VII paper ‘Testing the boundaries of virtual reality within ship support’ presented by John Newell from BAE Systems and Simon Luck from BMT DSL in June 2017. BAE Systems and BMT have developed a 3D walkthrough training system that supports the teams working closely with the QEC Aircraft Carriers in Portsmouth and this work was presented at EAAW VII. Since then this work has been extended to demonstrate the art of the possible on Type 26. This latter piece of work is designed to explore the role of 3D immersive environments in the development and fielding of support and training solutions, across the range of support disciplines. The combined team are looking at how this digital thread leads from design of platforms, both surface and subsurface, through build into in-service support and training. This rich data and ways in which it could be used in the whole lifecycle of the ship, from design and development (used for spatial acceptance, HazID, etc) all the way through to operational support and maintenance (in conjunction with big data coming off from the ship coupled with digital tech docs for maintenance procedures) using constantly developing technologies such as 3D, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality, will be proposed.  The drive towards gamification in the training environment to keep younger recruits interested and shortening course lengths will be explored. The paper develops the options and looks to how this technology can be used and where the value proposition lies.
