scholarly journals Teaching Archeology in Autobiographies of Scientists of Kharkiv University (1950s-1960s)

The article is devoted to study the autobiographical heritage of archeology teachers at Kharkiv University during the second half of the XXth century. Different aspects of teaching this discipline on a historical faculty were characterized basically with the help of sources of a particular origin. The author notes that the second half of the XXth century was the new wave of teaching archeology at Kharkiv University. The teaching system of this science was formed and new teaching staff was gradually appeared. The evaluation of this work was marked by many people: from students to the relatives and was reflected in many memoirs. But the teachers’ self-evaluation of their work was rather important. Autobiographic articles, memories, diaries could be the sources for the investigation. It was mentioned that during the investigation the author faced with the selection of facts in memories and teachers’ ultra subjectivity of their self-evaluation. The article focuses special attention on the fact that teaching archeology in 50-60ss of the XXth century based on Marxist-Leninist ideology and the high ideological and theoretical level. It was done to support the image among university society which was inspired by those ideas. If the teacher hadn’t paid attention to “ youth education in the spirit of communism” and hadn’t taken part in cultural and public life of university, that would have been an obstacle for him to climb the “carrier ladder”. The author comes to the conclusion that teachers exaggerated their role in teaching for creating more positive self-image among university society. This fact gives an opportunity not to take their autobiographical materials as objective sources of information.

Manapság egyre többet emlegetjük a közoktatásban, hogy milyen nagymértékben befolyásolja egy iskola sikerességét a vezető személye, a vezetés rátermettsége, kompetenciája, amely természetesen igaz is, azonban azt tapasztalom, hogy ezzel párhuzamosan egyre gyakrabban feledkezünk meg arról, hogy az iskola legfontosabb és legértékesebb szegmense valójában a diákság. Szakgimnáziumi illetve szakközépiskolai tanárként, valamint osztályfőnökként mindig az ő érdekeiket tartottam szem előtt; az ő viselkedésüknek megfigyelését és megértését, lelki és intellektuális fejlődésük nyomon követését kiemelt feladatomnak érzem. Vizsgálatomban egy ún. panelvizsgálatnak a segítségével 30 szakgimnáziumi és 30 szakközépiskolai tanulót kérdeztem meg a következő témákról: a vizsgált tanuló önértékelése, a vizsgált tanuló tapasztalata saját szüleinek nevelői attitűdjéről, valamint a vizsgált tanuló élménye az általa leggyakrabban tapasztalt pedagógusi attitűdökről. Ezután a felmérés kiértékelését követően igyekeztem összefüggést keresni a szülői valamint pedagógusi attitűdök és a tanuló önértékelése között, azt remélve, hogy mérhető bizonyítékot kapok arra vonatkozóan, mely szülői illetve mely pedagógusi attitűdök befolyásolják kedvezően, és melyek befolyásolják negatívan a tanulók önértékelését. Ha ez valóban mérhető, akkor célzottabb nevelési módszereket alkalmazhatunk a tanulók motiválása, egészséges énképének kialakítása érdekében, valamint információkat gyűjthetünk arról, mely életkorban mely pedagógusi attitűdök hatnak leginkább pozitívan a tanulói önértékelésre, ami segítségül szolgálhat a lehető leghatékonyabb tanári kar megszervezésében, illetve a pedagógusok munkájának orientálásában.These days, it is more and more often mentioned how strongly the person of the leader and the aptness and competence of the leadership influence the successfulness of the school in public education, and meanwhile we more and more often forget that the most important and most valuable segment of the school is in fact students. As a vocational school teacher, as well as a class-teacher, I have always focused on their interests, and have considered as a prime task to monitor and understand their behaviour and to follow their mental and intellectual development. In my examination, with the help of a so-called panel research, I asked 30 vocational secondary school students and 30 vocational technical school students about the following issues: self-evaluation of the examined student, the student’s experience on the educational attitudes of his/her own parents and the student’s experience on the teachers’ attitudes he/she meets the most often. After having the survey evaluated, I tried to find interconnections between the parents’ and the teachers’ attitudes and the student’s self-estimation, hoping that I would get a measurable proof of what attitudes have a positive influence on the students’ self-estimation and what have negative impacts. In case this is really measurable, we can apply more targeted educational methods to motivate the students and to develop a healthy self-image, and we can also gather information on the teachers’ attitudes exerting the most positive effects on the students’ self-estimation at the certain ages, which can help to organize the most effective teaching staff possible and the orientation of the teachers’ work.

Spatial selection of relevant information has been proposed to reflect an emergent feature of stimulus processing within an integrated network of perceptual areas. Stimulus-based and intention-based sources of information might converge in a common stage when spatial maps are generated. This approach appears to be inconsistent with the assumption of distinct mechanisms for stimulus-driven and top-down controlled attention. In two experiments, the common ground of stimulus-driven and intention-based attention was tested by means of event-related potentials (ERPs) in the human EEG. In both experiments, the processing of a single transient was compared to the selection of a physically comparable stimulus among distractors. While single transients evoked a spatially sensitive N1, the extraction of relevant information out of a more complex display was reflected in an N2pc. The high similarity of the spatial portion of these two components (Experiment 1), and the replication of this finding for the vertical axis (Experiment 2) indicate that these two ERP components might both reflect the spatial representation of relevant information as derived from the organization of perceptual maps, just at different points in time.

The paper explores the displace of Polish archives from the Soviet Union that was performed in 1920s according to the Riga Peace Treaty of 1921 and other international agreements. The aim of the research is to reconstruct the process of displace, based on the archival sources and literature. The object of the research is those documents that were preserved in the archives of Belarus and together with archives from other republics were displaced to Poland. The exploration leads to clarification of the selection of document fonds to be displaced, the actual process of movement and the explanation of the role that the archivists of Belarus performed in the history of cultural relationships between Poland and the Soviet Union. The articles of the Treaty of Riga had been formulated without taking into account the indivisibility of archive fonds that is one of the most important principles of restitution, which caused the failure of the treaty by the Soviet part.

An influential view of working memory (WM) holds that its’ contents are controlled by a selective gating mechanism that allows for relevant perceptual information to enter WM when opened, but shields WM contents from interference when closed. In support of this idea, prior studies using the reference-back paradigm have established behavioral costs for opening and closing the gate between perception and WM. WM also frequently requires input from long-term memory (LTM), but it is currently unknown whether a similar gate controls the selection of LTM representations into WM, and how WM gating of perceptual vs. LTM sources of information relate to each other. To address these key theoretical questions, we devised a novel version of the reference-back paradigm, where participants switched between gating perceptual and LTM information into WM. We observed clear evidence for gate opening and closing costs in both cases. Moreover, the pattern of costs associated with gating and source-switching indicated that perceptual and LTM information is gated into WM via a single gate, and rely on a shared source-selection mechanism. These findings extend current models of WM gating to encompass LTM information, and outline a new functional WM architecture.

In completing a competitors’ analysis in the railway sector by using the “Knowledge House” method, there is frequently a problem of data and information accessibility. The quality of primary information has direct influence on the quality of analytical conclusions. One more condition for the qualitative application of this method is the intellectual capital and experience of the analyst. One should note that in this regard we face another problem, that of selection of proper personnel, on the qualification of whom depends the accuracy of the evaluation and final results, on the basis of which strategic decisions are taken. The main aim of the paper is to assess the opportunities for applications of competitive intelligence methods in the railway sector. The study is using “Knowledge House”, DWS, DMS, DSS methodologies. Having analysed the scientific works the direct scientific sources of information, which are oriented to the application of the methods of competitive intelligence to the railway sector, have not been identified. The paper is absolutely original in that until now the competitive intelligence techniques have not been applied for the railway sector companies. Considering the fact that foreign companies, which compete for freighting at the international level, are regarded as the main competitors of the railway sector, the use of the methods of the competitive intelligence becomes more important while fighting for the part of the market. The competitive intelligence methods and their application to the railway sector companies are little studied. In accordance with application of the relevant methods in other sectors, it can be assumed that these innovative approaches could have a positive impact on the competitiveness of companies in the railway sector and their income.

The article is devoted to the actual pedagogical problem-the development of online e-learning in the conditions of digitalization of modern society. This problem is considered taking into account the increasing importance of electronic educational resources in improving the efficiency of the organization of the educational process in a remote interactive mode. The role and significance of the factors influencing the development of e-learning are presented: technical and organizational and methodological support of the educational process, the appropriate level of digital competence of the teaching staff, personal motivation of students. The results of recent studies conducted among students of the Pedagogical Institute of the North-Eastern Federal University (hereinafter-the University) and the Arctic Institute of Culture and Art (hereinafter-the Institute) for a complete picture of the state of network learning among students studying at the Institute and university, reflecting the main characteristics of the current state of digitalization of education. Based on the primary data of the study, the current problems are identified: the lack of contact interaction between the participants, which determines an individual, differentiated approach; compliance with personal conditions (motivation of the student); access to electronic sources of information; increase in the number of independent tasks in the absence of constant feedback from students, etc. The article reflects the approaches to determining the place of online e-learning in the system of professional training of future specialists using modern technologies in the organization of the educational process. The analysis of the obtained results shows that in order to implement the tasks of network learning, namely, the practical mastery of digital competence, training should be aimed at developing students ' sustainable interest in network learning.

This article presents the results of an exploratory-descriptive research with empirical referents. The objective was to document, systematize and evaluate some features of 15 postgraduate theses in education, with the intention to make visible some recurring dishonest practices of students and teachers. The postgraduate programs from which the theses were obtained are located in the metropolitan area of Mexico City. The selection of documents was carried out between July and November 2015. Two Likert scales were used to assess two dimensions separately: 1) content, in which originality, congruence, dominance and relevance of authors, findings and relevant conclusions were considered; and 2) presentation, which examined style, logical structure, spelling and punctuation, citations, references and sources of information. Each indicator was assigned a numerical value and this one was given an evaluative characteristic: 5: excellent, 3: regular and 1: deficient. Subsequently, percentages were obtained. The results indicated that only a third of the theses could be classified as excellent for the quality of the content and the impeccable presentation; a similar percentage were works that fulfilled the necessary but didn’t count with the rigor and originality of the first ones. The remaining papers had serious deficiencies, both in content and in the formal presentation of the document, without achieving the minimum quality demanded by a postgraduate thesis. The analysis of these investigations made it possible to visualize some of the dishonest practices of people graduating from various educational programs and the lack of commitment to their research. The results about the quality of the research in various doctoral programs indicate that there is little responsibility in students, personal tutor and the reviewer. The results allow the authorities of each program to observe the problem and seek practical solutions to solve it.

In the analysis of questionnaire-based evaluation of sport preferences, measurements of sport participation, opinions on social implications such as resurgence of racism, violence in stadiums and doping, the need arises to establish connections among motivations, subjects’ characteristics and responses. In this setting, the article deals with a selection of statistical models suitable to analyse sport rating data in which clusters of opposite responses are observed. Specifically, a two-component mixture of inverse hypergeometric (MIHG) distributions will be introduced and tested against competing models in order to yield a multifold interpretation of results. The ultimate comparative analysis will consider discrete models with a specific focus on those accounting for both uncertainty and feeling of self-evaluation in presence of inflation at the extreme categories. After a brief review of the methods, the proposal will be discussed both on ranking and rating data on the basis of two surveys on sport preferences and on measurements of sport activity: the identification of clusters of respondents with opposite choices will be investigated also in terms of covariates by comparing fitting performances of the selected models. The conclusions and insights offered by the study can be exploited to design plans of action for some specific policy or marketing strategy.
