scholarly journals Tolerance Peculiarities to Uncertainty of Working Students

The article covers results of an empirical study of the characteristics of tolerance to uncertainty of working students. The sample consisted of 44 participants - students of the V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. The first group consisted of 22 subjects who combine their studies at a higher educational institution with work, the second group - 22 subjects who do not work. Tolerance for uncertainty was measured by «Multiple Stimulus Types Ambiguity Tolerance Scale-I» (D. McLain, the adaptation by E. Osin) and «New questionnaire of tolerance for uncertainty» (T. Kornilova). Student's t-test for independent samples was used for statistical processing of the results. Findings of the study revealed that working students have a more positive attitude to new events, a deeper awareness of themselves as the subject of their own actions, and confidence that they control their lives, a greater tendency to make choices quickly and flexibly and the ability to maintain a vision of many opportunities, and greater tolerance for uncertainty in general. For these subjects are more inherent in the desire for change, novelty and originality, willingness to follow unpaved paths and prefer more complex tasks, to be able to be independent of the accepted limitations. Non-working students are characterized by a more pronounced desire for clarity and control in interpersonal relationships and a sense of discomfort in the event of uncertainty in relationships with others. The results obtained make it possible to improve the theoretical understanding of the characteristics of manifestations of tolerance to uncertainty at a student age, determine the prospects for further scientific research and can be used in practical psychological and pedagogical work with students.

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of conflicts in mixed and same-sex student groups. The theoretical basis of the study was the position of the structural features of interpersonal interaction in the middle of the group, including the substructure of horizontal and vertical relationships in the instrumental and expressive spheres of group activity. The study of conflict in student groups was based on the analysis of the characteristics of interpersonal relationships between group members in certain areas. To study the peculiarities of conflict in groups of different sexes, a questionnaire was developed, which provided an opportunity to determine the overall assessment of conflict, conflict in the vertical and horizontal subsystems of group activity, as well as in its instrumental and expressive areas. 188 students from 10 academic groups of the higher educational institution took part in the survey. Of these, six were sexually homogeneous and four heterogeneous. According to the results of the survey, the gender composition of student educational groups is more related to the emotional component of group activity and the horizontal substructure of intragroup relationships. These trends were confirmed using the methods of mathematical statistics (Student’s t-test). The results suggest that gender-mixed academic groups are more resistant to conflict triggers than homogeneous ones. However the composition of the group on the basis of gender can not be considered a factor that directly determines the conflict in the field of solving business problems, as well as interaction with teachers, officials of the dean’s office and student government.

Care’ is a shifting, plural word when used in the context of discussions of health. It suggests attention and compassion when articulated as a verb, but has overtures of regulation and control when used as a noun – to be ‘in care’ is usually not unproblematic. Two chapters in this section – those by Sarah Atkinson and Lucy Burke – speak specifically to the complexities of this idea. As Atkinson makes clear in her chapter, care invokes questions of resource just as much as it outlines interpersonal relationships; it presents what she terms ‘dilemmas, paradoxes and challenges’ when conceived of as a totality and, especially in global contexts, suggests entangled modes of time and space.

The article represents the results of the survey conducted among the group of university and high school teachers to establish the specific tendencies in online language teaching and learning within the COVID 19-affected environment. The study hypothesis presupposed verification of the thesis that language learning needs adjustment to new circumstances. During 2020-2021, the major platform adopted by Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University has been MS Office. It provided the participants of learning process with necessary tools such as calendar planning, lecture and seminar moderation, data submission and storage as well as assessment options and statistics. Incorporating the platform required tutorials for teachers since there were certain issues with registration and running the MS Office programme on various gadgets. At the initial stages alternatives were allowed to be used for online classes. The survey was conducted and analysed by means of quantitative and descriptive methods and on the basis of continuous academic discussions. It was concluded that the teachers treated the challenges of new learning environment differently. Namely, the respondents were invited to rate the general effectiveness of constant online language or language related subject learning, characterise institutional support, specify the prioritised digital platform and share feedback regarding their satisfaction with the educational process within late 2020 – first half of 2021. The majority of the respondents denoted the satisfactory effectiveness of online English language system. The educational institution was reported to provide sufficient support on distant learning platforms. Roughly one third of the answers pointed at the use of several distant learning platforms. Zoom has been defined as the main teachers’ preference probably due to simplicity of installation and running flexibility on various gadgets for both sides. The most burning issues of online learning during the COVID-19 period were associated with internet connection and access.

The subject matter was the children dental status having involved in study anthropological bone material different historical eras. The 133 remains skeletons of children were examined. The control and main groups consisted with the skeletons of children who had lived in the Nogai and Golden Horde periods, respectively, which in turn the last included children skeletons of earlier historical times. The author’s method was used in our scientific research. The ancient people skeletons were examined in historical and medical anthropology laboratory of the municipal institution “Conservation Centre and Research of Archaeological Monuments” of the Poltava Regional Council and the Department of Pediatric Therapeutic Dentistry with the Dental Diseases Prevention UMSA. The control group has included the children with maxillofacial pathology but their musculoskeletal system hasn’t been changed. However, two children have a “thin line” dental deposit in permanent and primary teeth. Two enamel hypoplasia specimens were detected in bone materials, five specimens of anomalies development dento-maxillofacial region and two dental specimens with markers determined of social society affiliation in the main children's group of the Middle Ages consist with of Golden Horde children. The main group results were compared with control group related to one period. The increase in the incidence of dental pathology was directly proportional to the number of children examined in the group. The dental pathology incidence was directly proportional relation increases to the examined children quantity in the group. The bone skeleton injury was found only in Golden Horde children group. The Middle Ages is characterized with the average diseases prevalence in Europe and America populations. We were determined the carious process and periodontal pathology were absence in deciduous and permanent teeth in the base and control children groups represent Middle Ages, after morphological and statistical processing of the collected archaeological, bone material. The dental mineralized deposits have a similar shape in base and control groups children of the Middle Ages in the studied territory of Ukraine. The dental mineralized plaque had a huge volume and was occupied a massive teeth square in examined children group identified with earlier historical periods and the Middle Ages. The research has shown that the dental deposit has a gradual evolutionary development in teeth of children groups at the Middle Ages.

Abstract This article arises as a proposal in view of the need to evaluate the scientific competences promoted by teachers of the subject of physics at the level of basic secondary and secondary technical education. A valid questionnaire was designed from the application of scalar analysis, factorial analysis and content analysis, which is composed of 49 items evaluated by means of a Likert scale with five levels of response. It was applied in a sample of 249 students enrolled in a public educational institution during 2019, characterized by their good results in the area of physics in state tests. The results allowed the identification of strengths in the four dimensions proposed by the Ministerio de Educación Nacional, Colombia (pedagogical, didactic, disciplinary and behavioural), in contrast with some weaknesses within which the evaluation process stands out as the one with the greatest impact, since the students state that this process is assumed by the teacher as a mechanism of pressure and control. When investigating the teachers in a complementary way, positions were determined that were totally opposite to those held by the students, then it is suggested for future research to consider both the students and the teachers as informants and a supervision of the students’ notes as the end of triangulating the results to refine the conclusions, on which future improvement plans will depend.

Background One of the urgent problems of dentistry is complex therapy of acute dental trauma in children. This is due to the numerous difficulties in the treatment of teeth in traumatized children, low efficiency of therapy and frequent development of complications. The effectiveness of treatment of children with a traumatic tooth, as well as the frequency and nature of the development of complications depends heavily on the knowledge of population about the nature of the course and emergency care of this pathology. Objectives The purpose of the study was to determine the level of knowledge of various groups of the population about the methods of prevention and emergency care for acute dental trauma in children. Methods During the study 539 people were examined, including 361 parents aged 22 to 72, 96 children aged 5 to 18 and 82 students of the 1st and 2nd year of the USMU stomatology faculty. Statistical processing of the obtained results was carried out with the help of STATISTICA v12 statistical analysis software package. To analyze each question, the Spearman correlation coefficient (rs) was used, to determine the differences, the Student's t-test (p⩽0.05). Results According to the results of the questionnaire, only ~ 29% of all respondents note the time of going to the dentist with the "knocked out tooth" as 1 hour. When asked about permanent tooth replacement, only 32.4% of adults, 19.5% students and 27% children gave correct answers. The majority of respondents do not know about the correct choice of the transporting media for avulsed tooth: in the group of parents the most popular choice was antiseptic (12.2%), in the group of children - a clean handkerchief (18.8%), about a third of all respondents found it difficult to choosing the right answer. Conclusions In general, the level of sanitary knowledge of various population groups in Yekaterinburg about dental trauma in children is not enough. Correlation between the receipt of information in the past and the success of answers to questions about dental trauma is weak or absent. The need for a knowledge of the fundamentals of assistance in the case of dental trauma by educators is extremely high.

This chapter presents findings from an established service-learning module at the National University of Ireland, Galway, in a postgraduate IT degree programme. It describes the context at a local and national level for embedding service-learning within IT while likening it to the process of tightrope walking involving the complexity of balance and control in a sometimes uncertain terrain. The findings highlight both the challenges and successes of service-learning in IT following a series of semi-structured interviews conducted with community partners, the course director and the 2008-2009 student cohort. Service-learning provides a means of connecting students’ academic study with community and society with the explicit intention of promoting active and responsible citizenship (Bringle and Hatcher, 1996; Furco and Holland, 2004; Zlotkowski, 2007). Using service-learning in computing programmes is not new (Webster & Mirielli, 2007; Tan & Phillips, 2005; Scorce, 2010; Lawler et al., 2010); however, an analysis of this work taking the perspectives of multiple stakeholders and its contexts within Ireland are all original.
