Number Of Factors ◽

<p>There is a large body of work on the barriers that Māori, other indigenous peoples and minorities encounter at educational institutions, there is also research into the barriers that these groups encounter within the health sector and a smaller body of work pertaining to these same barriers within public and school libraries. This research combines the findings from these bodies of literature with the results from two focus groups of university students to explore the possibility that there are barriers which they may have encountered at their university library. The results showed that there were barriers within the university library, and like other barrier research these were many and varied and were dependant on a number of factors including, institution (library system) size, and individual expectations of the student. These findings are discussed in terms of the implications that they have for Māori university students, and suggestions are made for further research, as well as ways that these barriers may be countered.</p>

With the closure of educational institutions due to COVID-19, the biggest challenge with the universities and the instructors was engaging students in virtual learning. This research aimed at supporting university students in Islamabad (Pakistan) for online learning through a collaborative approach. The university started online learning during COVID-19 and had no earlier experience of such mode of learning. The first phase was identifying the problems faced by students during online learning and seeking their suggestions for overcoming them. The next step was working on the students’ opinions with a team of instructors to modify existing instructional practices during online instruction. We measured students’ satisfaction level pre and post-modification to evaluate students’ adoption of online learning. The data for both the phases were collected through a Google Form. The post-modification data revealed students’ greater satisfaction in online learning. The findings offer useful insight related to students’ adoption of online learning and making it a more meaningful, organized, and productive medium for future learning.

The Impact

AbstractThe service-learning disciplines can offer a unique opportunity for civic development in university students, as there is a large body of research that links it to values and civic attitudes including a vast number of ecological issues and citizen variables. Moreover, one should bear in mind that these students are future generations that will face many pressing social and environmental issues. Given the need to develop instruments to measure the impact of a service-learning methodology in university students’ values as well as civic attitudes, VAL-U is proposed. As the university can be considered a learning step prior to the professional field, the main objective of this study was to analyse the internal consistency and factor structure of the proposed VAL-U scale in the Spanish population. The scale confirmed acceptable psychometric properties. Furthermore, the results have shown high reliability and optimal goodness of fit. Promising results are offered to employ VAL-U as a valuable tool for assessing Values and Civic Attitudes Scale for Spanish-speaking University Students’ Service-Learning.

The paper features the dynamics of the internalization of the professional values in university students of deontology direction during their training. The research employed such research methods as D.A. Leontyev’s test of life-sense orientations, the questionnaire of the level of subjective control, and M. Rokich’s test. The paper presents some results of a longitudinal study of the internalization of the professional values in the future specialists of the deontological profile at various stages of study at the university. The authors used a sample group of 120 students to prove some significant differences in value-semantic characteristics. They conducted a comparative analysis of the value-semantic orientations of the students, who majored in various subjects. The students of the deontological profile revealed a stronger internalization of professional values, as well as stronger professional selfrealization, interpersonal relations, altruistic values, and values of the acceptance of others. The authors believe that the organization of educational process influences the structure of value-semantic orientations of university students. They prove that practice-oriented methods help students cope with the crisis of professional development. The results of the research can be used in the educational process at various educational institutions, as well as in consulting students on the problems of personal and professional development.

Features of the clinical picture of depressive disorders of different registers in university students Vashkite I., Khaustov M. In the course of work with the purpose of developing a complex pathopsychologically grounded system of psychotherapy and psychoprophylaxis for students of higher educational institutions with depressive disorders of affective (DDAR) and neurotic (DDNR) registers, a complex psychodiagnostic, psychometric, and clinical and psychopathological study of 200 students from various universities at the age of 17-24 was conducted. According to the results of the study, it was revealed that the effect of factors related to the start of studies at the university results in the highest probability of depressive disorders of the neurotic register among younger students. Students of senior years are maximally adapted to the conditions of study; therefore, the incidence of these disorders, both clinical and subclinical, is average among them, whereas in senior years there is an increase in the incidence of depressive disorders of the affective register. The article also presents the diagnostic results of studying the emotional sphere of students, the syndromological structure of depressive disorders of both registers, and formulated recommendations on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with depressions in the primary medical system. Keywords: depressive reactions, diagnosis, primary care, students, treatment. Резюме Особливості клінічної картини депресивних розладів різних регістрів у студентів ВНЗ. Вашкіте І.Д., Хаустов М.М. В ході роботи з метою розробки комплексної патопсихологічно обґрунтованої системи психотерапії та психопрофілактики депресивних розладів афективного (ДРАР) і невротичного регістрів (ДРНР) у студентів вищих навчальних закладів було проведено комплексне психодіагностичне, психометричне і клініко-психопатологічне дослідження 200 студентів різних ВНЗ у віці 17-24 років. За результатами проведеного дослідження було виявлено, що дія факторів, пов'язаних з початком навчання у ВНЗ, призводить до найбільшої ймовірності формування депресивних розладів невротичного регістру у студентів молодших курсів. Студенти середніх курсів максимально адаптовані до умов навчання, тому частота зазначених розладів як клінічного, так і субклінічного рівня серед них середня, тоді як на старших курсах спостерігається хвиля зростання виникнення депресивних розладів афективного регістру. У статті також наведені діагностичні результати дослідження емоційної сфери студентів, синдромологічна структура депресивних розладів обох регістрів, сформульовані рекомендації щодо діагностики та лікування хворих з депресіями в системі первинної медичної ланки.

Вашките И.Д., Хаустов М.Н. В ходе работы с целью разработки комплексной патопсихологически обоснованной системы психотерапии та психопрофилактики депрессивных расстройств аффективного (ДРАР) и невротического регистров (ДРНР) у студентов высших учебных заведений было проведено комплексное психодиагностическое, психометрическое и клинико-психопатологическое исследование 200 студентов различных ВУЗов в возрасте 17-24 лет. По результатам проведенного исследование было выявлено, что действие факторов, связанных с началом обучения в ВУЗе, приводит к наибольшей вероятности формирования депрессивных расстройств невротического регистра у студентов младших курсов. Студенты средних курсов максимально адаптированы к условиям обучения, поэтому частота указанных расстройств как клинического, так и субклинического уровня среди них средняя, тогда как на старших курсах наблюдается волна роста возникновения депрессивных расстройств аффективного регистра. В статье также приведены диагностические результаты исследования эмоциональной сферы студентов, синдромологическая структура депрессивных расстройств обоих регистров, сформулированы рекомендации по диагностике и лечению больных с депрессиями в системе первичного медицинского звена. Ключевые слова: депрессивные реакции, диагностика, лечение, первичное медицинское звено, студенты.
