Pedagogical Approaches

The article considers modern pedagogical approaches and teaching methods that are based on the principles of motivation and are able to increase the interest of students in obtaining mathematical knowledge, skills and abilities. The purpose of the study is to analyse different approaches to the formation of professional competencies in the study of the discipline «Higher and Applied Mathematics». Timing of the study: 2018 - 2020. The results of the annual testing of first-year students of Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics to determine their attitude to the discipline and satisfaction with the learning process were used as an information base. The analysis of the change in the level of mathematical training was carried out by comparing the results of the initial and final tests, which were conducted at the beginning and end of the academic year. Analytical data obtained from the results of the study involving students, suggest that the use of a combination of modern pedagogical approaches and methods significantly increases motivation and arouses interest in studying the discipline. The tendency to more thorough knowledge was observed for almost all categories of students, regardless of their level of preparation. Students, getting into new realities, begin to learn mathematical material consciously and develop the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in professional activities. Given that the learning process at the university requires constant modification of the content and methods of teaching, the importance of the teacher's personality as a factor in the development of student's personality is emphasized. Key words: applied orientation, professional competencies, higher mathematics, methods.

Lexical Competence

In the age of information and communication technologies the English language plays a significant role both in oral and written communication. The successful performance of computer programming specialists largely depends on their level of lexical competence, so a university course of English for specific purposes (ESP) focused on its development, can be exceedingly useful in the professional training of prospective programmers. This study aims at investigating the effectiveness of the collaborative professional written communication in ESP classrooms to enhance future programmers’ writing skills as well as improve their English lexical competence. To validate the efficiency of the algorithm, the author conducted experimental teaching of the 5th-year students of the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and Informatics at Ivan Franko Lviv National University in 2017‒2018 academic year. The stages of the algorithm implemented in order to advance the level of English lexical competence were elaborated. Efficiency of the algorithm has been proved on the basis of the results obtained from pre- and post- experimental assessment of students from experimental and control groups. On a practical level, the participants’ writing skills were examined through an English written test prior to and after cooperative learning activities were provided. Growth rate in students from experimental group significantly exceeded the students’ results in the control group. Thus, the efficacy of the suggested algorithm used for developing lexical competence in computer programming students has been proved. In light of the findings, the researcher indicates that teachers can benefit from applying the proposed methodology for collaborative professional writing in English classes, which may in turn develop students’ writing skills and improve their English lexical competence.

Background: There are presently no validated scales to adequately measure the stigma of suicide in the community. The Stigma of Suicide Scale (SOSS) is a new scale containing 58 descriptors of a “typical” person who completes suicide. Aims: To validate the SOSS as a tool for assessing stigma toward suicide, to examine the scale’s factor structure, and to assess correlates of stigmatizing attitudes. Method: In March 2010, 676 staff and students at the Australian National University completed the scale in an online survey. The construct validity of the SOSS was assessed by comparing its factors with factors extracted from the Suicide Opinion Questionnaire (SOQ). Results: Three factors were identified: stigma, isolation/depression, and glorification/normalization. Each factor had high internal consistency and strong concurrent validity with the Suicide Opinion Questionnaire. More than 25% of respondents agreed that people who suicided were “weak,” “reckless,” or “selfish.” Respondents who were female, who had a psychology degree, or who spoke only English at home were less stigmatizing. A 16-item version of the scale also demonstrated robust psychometric properties. Conclusions: The SOSS is the first attitudes scale designed to directly measure the stigma of suicide in the community. Results suggest that psychoeducation may successfully reduce stigma.
