The role of physical education consists in the development of physical culture of an individual and the related components of basic personality culture, solution of social and public tasks. The subject of this research is the sphere of physical culture and supply of professional personnel. Physical education instructors should possess personal and professional competences for working with children and teaching sports; such profession imposes numerous requirements that have to be fulfilled by a specialist. The established situation affects the human resource potential in this sphere and prospects overall. The conducted empirical research reveal correlation between the importance of the subject of “physical culture” in school and popularity of the specialty of physical culture among graduates. It was determined the students’ attitude on the subject of “physical culture” in many ways depends on personality of the pedagogue. At the same time, in modern school, the pedagogues face pressure from the school community, which reduces the importance of this subject and its educational potential. All of these facts shape students’ opinion on the profession of physical culture instructor as an unpromising specialty. The school experience of physical culture later manifests in the university.

Новое поколение Z (молодые люди, родившиеся в начале XХI века), еще недостаточно изученное, имеет определенные отличия от предшествующих поколений Y и X. Исходя из специфики современной молодежи как поколения виртуального общения, полагаем, что ее интерес к занятиям физкультурой и спортом также имеет свои отличительные черты. Цель данного исследования - изучить отношение поколения Z к физической культуре и спорту. На основании проведенного социологического опроса нами были выявлены те моменты, которые позволяют формировать интерес к занятиям физкультурой у представителей поколения Z. Поступление в университет и обучение в нем предполагает процесс активного приспособления индивидуума к меняющимся условиям действительности и эмоционально стрессовым ситуациям. В этом плане роль физического воспитания и обучения в условиях социальной адаптации чрезвычайно важна, так как в процессе занятий физическими упражнениями могут успешно решаться вопросы самореализации поколения Z. Для выявления отношения представителей поколения Z к физической культуре и спорту нами был проведен социологический опрос, в результате которого было выявлено несомненно положительное отношение студентов к занятиям физическими упражнениями, но при условии большего их разнообразия, наличия необходимого инвентаря и индивидуального подхода. Поскольку быстро меняющееся положение дел в экономике требует от общества подготовки конкурентоспособных специалистов, преподавателям необходимо переосмыслить цели и задачи физического воспитания в вузах, создающие предпосылки к внедрению новых способов развития интереса к физической культуре и спорту. The new generation Z (born at the beginning of the 21st century) has not been sufficiently studied, has a certain difference from the previous generations Y and X. Basing on the specifics of the modern young people as a generation of virtual communication, the authors suggest that they should have their specific interest in physical education and sports. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to study the attitude of generation Z to physical culture and sports. According to the conducted sociological survey, there have been identified the moments that contribute to the formation of an interest in physical education activities at the representatives of generation Z. Entering and studying at the university involves the process of active adaptation of the individual to changing conditions of reality and emotional and stressful situations. In this regard, the role of physical education and training in the context of social adaptation is extremely important, since in the process of doing physical exercises, the issues of self-realization of generation Z can be successfully solved. To identify the attitude of representatives of generation Z to physical culture and sports, the authors conducted a sociological survey, which revealed an undeniable positive attitude of students to physical exercise, but under conditions of greater diversity, sufficient availability of necessary equipment and individual approach. Since rapidly changing economic conditions require the training of competitive specialists, university physical education teachers need to rethink the goals and objectives of physical education, creating the prerequisites for the introduction of new ways to develop interest in physical culture and sports.

The article is devoted to the problem of identifying the updated content of educational programs on the motivation of younger adolescents to engage in physical education. Using a set of research methods (content analysis of legal documents, systematization, comparison and generalization of data of scientific and methodical literature and Internet sources, pedagogical observations, interviews, conversations, questionnaires, methods of mathematical statistics) it was found that the content and structure of the updated curriculum «Physical Education» in 2012 y. and 2017 y. has significant advantages over the program of 2008 y. on the formation of younger adolescents' motivation to engage in physical culture. Content analysis of physical education curricula (until 2012), as well as questionnaires, interviews, surveys and interviews with students showed, that is the reason for the low growth rate of motivation of younger adolescents to exercise there are both ingrained requirements for the assessment of student achievement and non-orientation of the subject curriculum «Physical Education» to take into account the wishes, interests and individual characteristics of the latter. Installed, that is an important factor in positively influencing the motivation of younger adolescents to physical education classes is both the improvement of the content component of the program and the system of assessment of student achievement, which plays the role of a stimulating factor for physical education.

The article is devoted to one of the problems of foreign language education – the definition of the role of interpretation in preparing students of special (language) directions to participate in the dialogue of cultures. Interpretation is considered as a phenomenon and as a way of comprehending reality, which allows the subjects of the dialogue of cultures to reach mutual understanding. The main characteristic of interpretation, which is necessary for the purposes of foreign language education, is its psychological character. It is determined by the psychology of the author, the psychology of the work, as well as the psychology of the reader-interpreter. It is proved that the interpretation of a work of art, which has universal, historical and personal plans, has huge epistemological and axiological possibilities. They activate the entire educational potential of interperetation (educational, developmental, cognitive, and educational). Russian Russian poet A. A. Fet (1820–1892) uses the poem “Wir saßen am Fischerhaus” by the famous German poet and publicist Heinrich Hein (1797–1856) and the translation of this poem into Russian to illustrate the interpretation technology. The poem is considered as a space of personal meanings of the author. They are the ones that are subject to interpretation and bring the reader-interpreter back from the poet's world to the modern real world. And the real world is full of unexpected cultural facts, closely related to the content of the work of G. Heine, with distant Lapland and the life of modern lapps. Thus, interpretation is presented as an educational strategy. Together with the strategies of contextualization, philologization and argumentation, it ensures the achievement of the main goal of foreign language education – the creation of an individual who can act as a genuine subject of the dialogue of cultures. The article also emphasizes the importance of the teacher as the organizer of the educational process and the subject of the dialogue of cultures.

The purpose of this article is to stimulate debate about the developing paradoxes and dilemmas facing the university academic. This article argues that academics are increasingly being steeped in an inauthentic existence due, at least partly to, egocentrism and sociocentrism. A modest transdisciplinary- existential analytical framework is applied as an intellectual method to reflect on the prevailing monological perspectives stifling the role of academics, in working towards building a more sustainable future. Using concepts such as the subject, facticity and transcendence, the article investigates the dialectical tensions between some of these monological perspectives and proposes avenues to create new possibilities to progress the role of the academic. The article argues that the multilogical perspectives of transdisciplinary thinking and the empowering perspectives of existential thinking can provide academics with the necessary conceptual tools to transcend egocentrism and sociocentrism. While it is likely that new contradictions will emerge as a result of this synthesis, open-minded academics are urged to ignite their imaginative powers and take up the challenge of creating and acting on new possibilities. A transdisciplinary-existential dialectical approach can provide a richer understanding of present dilemmas in academia and the world, and suggest more satisfying paths to a sustainable future.

PurposeThis paper explores the dissonance between co-production and expectations of impact in a research project on student loneliness over the 2019/2020 academic year. Specific characteristics of the project – the subject matter, interpolation of a global respiratory pandemic, informal systems of care that arose among students and role of the university in providing the context and funding for the research – brought co-production into heightened tension with the instrumentalisation of project outputs.Design/methodology/approachThe project consisted of a series of workshops, research meetings and mixed-methods online journalling between 2019 and 2020. This paper is primarily a critical reflection on that research, based on observations by and conversations between the authors, together with discourse analysis of research data.FindingsThe authors argue that co-producing research with students on university contexts elevates existing tensions between co-production and institutional valuations of impact, that co-production with students who had experienced loneliness made necessary space for otherwise absent support and care, that the responsibility to advocate for evidence and co-researchers came into friction with how the university felt the research could be useful and that each of these converging considerations are interconnected symptoms of the ongoing marketisation of HE.Originality/valueThis paper provides a novel analysis of co-production, impact and higher education in the context of an original research project with specific challenges and constraints. It is a valuable contribution to methodological literatures on co-production, multidisciplinary research into student loneliness and reflexive work on the difficult uses of evidence in university contexts.
