scholarly journals SOURCES OF STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION TO TAKE UP PAID EMPLOYMENT DURING STUDYING

The article presents the results of the research aimed at identifying the sources of students’ motivation to take up paid employment during the course of study. Motivation process and theoretical approaches towards its consideration – from the points of view of the content, of the process and based on the concept of reinforcement – are described. As for the content motivation is considered either as a function of pay, working time and working conditions, or as a function of autonomy and responsibility. The process approach focuses on the explanation of why people choose certain behavior in order to meet their needs and how they assess their satisfaction after achieving goals. Reinforcement concept explains the role of rewards in causing a change in behavior or maintaining unchanged behavior for some time. There are three areas of students’ activity: educational, professional and personal one. For proper understanding of the concept of “professional activity” an overview of definitions concerning professional activity is done. The main assumptions of the research were that students undertake random jobs guided solely by remuneration. They do not pay attention whether there is any connection with the field of their study. The examination involved 478 students from 15 cities from all over Poland, who study at 43 universities. The research showed that the factors that influenced students’ decisions to take up a job are first of all the following: the need for earning, as well as the desire to gain experience and the need to become a financially independent person. Respondents, who declare compliance of their work with the field of study, additionally indicate the possibility of continuous self development. For the students, who declare work in line with their interest, self-fulfillment is a key focus.

Introduction.The instability of the modern world with its rapidly changing social and economic realities requires the readiness of a person for self-change. For this reason, along with vocational education, higher education has to include the programmes to form future experts’ skills of professional self-development, which success depends on many circumstances, including self-attitude.The aimof the research presented in the publication was to define the role of self-attitude in personal and professional self-development of students in the course of their professional training in higher education institution.Methodology and research methods.Empirical methods were employed in the course of the research. The complex of psycho-diagnostic techniques was used: test-questionnaire of self-attitude by V. V. Stolin and S. R. Pantileev; tests: Life-Purpose Orientations Test by D. A. Leontiev, The General Self-Efficacy Scale by M. Jerusalem, R. Schwarzer and V. Romek, Assessment of Self-Control in Communication by M. Snyder; questionnaires: Personal Orientation Inventory by E. L. Shostrom, Ability to Self-Development by V. I. Zvereva, Willingness to SelfKnowledge and Self-Development by T. A. Ratanova and N. F. Shlyahta, Determination of level of reflexivity development by A. V. Karpov, Style of Self-Regulation Behaviour of Students by V. I. Morosanova. The obtained respondents’ responses (n = 110) were processed using methods of mathematical statistics, such as correlation and cluster analysis.Results and scientific novelty.Different theoretical approaches to the problem of self-attitude highlighted in the scientific literature are considered. The affective and cognitive components of self-attitude are emphasised. Significant correlation relationships between the characteristics of self-attitude and level of motivational readiness for self-knowledge and self-development of 2nd-4th-year students-psychologists of N. P. Ogarev Mordovia State University have been revealed. It appears to be rather attributed by the fact that the attitude of students towards themselves in many respects is defined by the level of formation of their reflexive and regulatory qualities, understanding of the purpose and meaning of life, confidence in the professional success, which provide an incentive for self-change and self-improvement. The conducted cluster analysis allowed the authors to group the students around different levels of professional self-attitude and self-development (very high, high average and stagnant). The results of the research show that positive self-attitude is one of the important factors in self-development. The process of awareness of self-worth encourages the person to periodically reflect on career prospects and implementation of plans, providing the grounds for creative self-realisation.Practical significance.The results obtained can be used by teachers and psychologists of higher educational institutions to organise psycho-pedagogical support for personal and professional self-development of students.

The article emphasizes the importance of improving by a Ukrainian language teacher the knowledge of the specifics of educational material (economics terminology) to be taught, in order to achieve the linguistic and educational objectives set. The role of terms that should be included in the productive vocabulary of students to form and formulate thoughts in the professional context has been defined. It is noticed that the degree of proficiency in using terminoogy is determined by the level of communicative competence. The aim of the article is to study different points of view on the problem of students’ readiness to mastering language means that are necessary for establishing mutual understanding among communicators during joint professional activities. The task is to consider issues related to the communication aspect of the educational material that is presented by modern economic terms concentrated in texts of coursebooks for economics. Economics vocabulary, which includes the names of phenomena and concepts of social and ideological spheres, is the part of the lexical system of the language the study of which is relevant, therefore, during activities of a teacher associated with training students to use economics terms, it is necessary to define and create conditions for obtaining necessary information of a professional character and ensuring effective communication among specialists in the relevant field. Thus, teaching terminology within the framework of a communication-based approach is directly related to the development of verbal behavior which models situations of professional activity and its specific manifestations. Terms express special concepts that have been learnt by students, i.e., those which they easily and actively use when the need arises. The function of terms is in creating the professional component of information, forming a certain expression. The prospect of the study is the organization of educational material and methodical developments for use based on the motives and peculiarities of student groups.

Introduction. Evolution of views on the value of scientific knowledge in various directions of Western philosophy, from the ancient period to the 20th century is analyzed in the article. The relevance of the article is due to the fact that the view of scientific knowledge as the value of scientific reality is a fairly new phenomenon.Methodology and sources. The methodological basis of the work is the cultural and philosophical analysis of various points of view in the works of both ancient philosophers, philosophers of the Renaissance and the New times (Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras, F. Aquinas, Leonard da Vinci, F. Bacon, Locke, Hobbes, Descartes, Spinoza), as well as in the works of O. Comte, Spencer, Mach, Poincare, Pierce, James, Dewey, Jaspers, B. Russell, etc. (i.e. representatives of positivism, existentialism, neo-Thomism).Results and discussion. Today two directions could be distinguished in the relation to science: either its absolutization, that we name scientism, or the cult of an abstract person opposed to science – anthropologism. This is a consequence of the changes in the views on scientific knowledge that have taken place throughout the history of science. Thus, in the ancient period, the value of science was determined, firstly, not in relation to the practical activity of a human being, but only in relation to science to knowledge and cognition, and secondly, as a way of self-development of the individual. In the Middle Ages, science was the “handmaid” of theology. In the Renaissance science faced new challenges: the first was an anti-religious understanding of the essence of a person, the second was the justification of the role of scientific knowledge both for practice and for the worldview as a whole. It was on this understanding of the meaning of scientific knowledge that the concepts of the philosophers of the XVII–XVIII centuries were built, and they dominated until the middle of the XIX century. From this period, a one-sided approach begins to dominate – the ideological role of the value of science was denied and only its pragmatic value is taken. Along with this, there is also a critical attitude towards science, which then develops into anti-scientism. Today, a pessimistic approach (postmodernism, for example) the approach to the consideration of the value of scientific knowledge is characteristic of modern philosophical trends that deny not only the value of scientific knowledge, but also deny knowledge itself.Conclusion. The evaluation of scientific knowledge in Western philosophy has undergone significant changes. If in classical philosophy, with a few exceptions, the recognition of the comprehensive value of science prevailed, i.e. its ideological, humanistic and practical value, then in the future all these three main aspects of the value of scientific knowledge are analyzed. In the extreme forms, this leads to the emergence of antiscientism, for which it is the development of scientific knowledge is perceived as a source of human misery and suffering.

The article presents the results of theoretical analysis of scientific approaches to the self-efficacy problem study of the individual in general and the social services specialist, in particular. The research stated the ambiguity of the interpretation of the concept of “self-efficacy” and, at the same time, the role of self-efficacy in successful professional activity. We identified the main approaches to the study of the self-efficacy problem study of the individual and related concepts, which are: socio-cognitive psychoanalytic behavioural; personal and activity; humanistic; subjective; effective; competence; resource, acmeological approach, etc. We proposed the acmeological approach as a basis in the context of the study of the self-efficacy problems, and its development, within which self-efficacy should be considered as an essential factor in achieving professional social specialists’ “acme”. It is shown that self-efficacy should be studied because of the possibility of its development in specially organized psychological training and socio-psychological support of specialists’ self-efficacy, their beliefs, belief in their ability to implement activities, evaluation of their effectiveness and expectations for self-realization, and professional activity.

This article examines the narrative category point of view: it introduces theoretical remarks that reveal and clarify this concept in the framework of the modern theory of narrative, as well as an analysis of this category in Lena Eltang’s novel “Stone Maples”. In narratology, the point of view is one of the leading categories; it is synonymous with the concepts of “focalization”, “perspective” and “narrative modality” and is directly related to the narrator of the work. This article discusses various approaches to the interpretation of the concept of point of view, discusses the similarities and differences, different theoretical approaches to the terms “perspective”, “focalization”, “narrative modality.” An analysis of the theoretical works devoted to this problem also makes it possible to conclude that one of the leading roles in the construction of a narrative is given to the narrator. In L. Eltang’s novel “Stone Maples”, many different points of view (respectively, several narrators) are encountered: several subjects of speech and several different narrative lines are presented in the text. The main narrative and style principles, as well as the features of the narrative organization of the novel “Stone Maples” were examined. Integrated research methods allowed us to determine that in L. Eltang’s novel “Stone Maples” there are many different points of view: several subjects of speech and several different narrative lines are presented in the text; the communicative basis of the narrative work, the “mosaic” narrative, multilevel author puzzles and the detective story base of the novel activate the role of the reader of “Stone Maples”, who is given the function of one of the narrators of the work. The article emphasizes that a biased, false narrative is formed in the novel, destroying the principles of classical narration.
