The quality of education is a key factor in the social development of the individual, society, and the state. This article is aimed at identifying the theoretical essence of the concept, the “quality of education” in the context of the international PISA comparative study and the ongoing education of math teachers as a factor in the development of students’ mathematical literacy. The diagnostics for interviewing and questioning teachers, students and parents revealed problems and difficulties in teaching and studying mathematics. A key tool was context analysis of the GGTU Center for teachers’ professional development activities. The Ongoing Education Program “Schoolchildren Practical Math Literacy Formation” presented in the article and the author’s teaching manual “Life as a Math Plot” reveal their practical focus on the development of math teachers’ professional subject competence, on schoolchildren’s math literacy development, and, as a result, a general improvement in the quality of education according to the PISA results.

The ability to overcome life collisions, the ability to find new, non-standard solutions to problems - these qualities are relevant in the modern world. Changes in society entail changes in the upbringing of schoolchildren, and this is due to the individual, personal and professional qualities of a teacher, such as: organization, increased self-esteem and professional competence, focus on results. The level of development of children's creativity, their readiness to study at school and for life, also depends on the professionalism of teachers. It is the teacher, as a universal specialist, who, when planning and organizing classes in different subjects, is able to identify characteristic subject relationships, determine the necessary means of teaching and development of schoolchildren, and also design identical results of educational activities in several educational areas. Meta-subject approach is a means of achieving a meta-subject result. The main goal of the meta-subject approach in teaching is: the development and qualitative renewal of pedagogical activities, and the improvement of the quality of education.

Sustainable mobility is becoming a key factor in improving the quality of life of the residents and increasing physical activity (PA) levels. The current situation of sustainable mobility and its analysis is a first step in understanding the factors that would encourage residents to discover and choose alternative modes of travel. The present study examined the factors that encourage the choice of active modes of travel among urban adult population. Walking and cycling were analyzed as the most sustainable forms of urban mobility from the perspective of car and public transport (PT) users. Total of 902 subjects aged 18 years or older were analyzed in the study to assess commuting habits in Kaunas city, Lithuania. The majority (61.1%) of the respondents used a passenger vehicle, 28.2% used PT, and only 13.5% used active modes of travel. The results showed that safer pedestrian crossings, and comfortable paths were the most significant factors that encourage walking. A wider cycling network, and bicycle safety were the most important incentives for the promotion of cycling. Our findings show that the main factors encouraging walking and cycling among car and PT users are similar, however, the individual characteristics that determine the choice of these factors vary significantly.

The integration of Ukraine into the European community is impossible without changes in the education sphere. The implementation of such projects of the European Union as "Horizon 2020” provides the collaboration between experts in Agriculture and Engineering. The results of the questionnaire conducted by “Agro Survey” agency showed the lack of student’s practical knowledge in Ukrainian Engineering and Agricultural universities. It is obvious that the quality of education in Ukrainian technical universities doesn't meet the requirements of the European labour market. Getting theoretical knowledge has no value until students can apply it for practical purposes. We suggest that a subject like Physics should be practice-oriented. If the Physics course at technical universities integrates theory with practice, students will be better prepared for their future career. The purpose of the study is to define the basic principles of professional competence as the key factor for improving the quality of future engineer’s training in the process of studying Physics. To select and interpret the factual material, concepts and theories the theoretical analysis of philosophical, psychological and pedagogical literature on research was used in the paper. The pedagogical experiment was carried out on the basis of 4 universities in different regions of Ukraine and involved 159 respondents (151 students and 8 university teachers). To determine the strategies for implementation of the profession-based tasks in Physics course we carried out specially designed questionnaires for students majoring in Agrarian Engineering and university teachers. One of the necessary conditions for future engineer training is professional orientation in studying. We suppose that to consider the relationship between a comprehensive Physics course and the disciplines of professional and practical training the in-depth analysis should be performed. First of all, it will help to determine Physics knowledge, abilities and skills that should be used in student’s further professional training. Second of all, it will enable the most effective use of engineering-based tasks in Physics classes. However, knowledge of basic Engineering and General Theoretical subjects is not applied by the students of Technical High School for a long-period of university study. The results of the survey have shown that studying major subjects at a later stage doesn’t motivate students to learn Natural Science and Engineering disciplines. We can conclude that profession-based tasks in Physics class contribute to the formation of a system of natural knowledge, practical skills and abilities. They stimulate the students’ cognitive interest in Physics as a science, help to better absorb material of other disciplines, develop creative abilities and influence the formation of persistent motifs for obtaining knowledge of professional disciplines.

Abstract Background We assessed the impact of resident teaching in medical students' overall assessment of an obstetrics and gynecology clerkship. Methods Between September 2007 and March 2010, third-year medical students completed a questionnaire at the end of their clerkship. Questions covered the number of topics they recalled learning about from residents, perceptions of the quality of education received from residents, perceptions of the experience with the residents as teachers, and overall rating of the obstetrics and gynecology clerkship. Results Questionnaires were completed by all medical students (N  =  74), with 63 students returning complete surveys. There was a small correlation between the number of topics students recalled learning about from residents and ratings of quality of education (r  =  0.249, P  =  .03), a small correlation between the number of topics students recalled learning about from residents and level of satisfaction with the clerkship (r  =  0.262, P  =  .04), and a larger correlation between assessment of the overall experience with residents as teachers and ratings of quality of education received from residents (r  =  0.687, P < .001). Overall experience with residents as teachers and perceived quality of education from residents were both associated with satisfaction with the clerkship (r  =  0.756, P < .001 and r  =  0.603, P < .001, respectively). A regression model with these variables accounted for 58% of the variability in students' ratings of the clerkship (F  =  27.103, P < .001, R  =  .761, R2  =  .579). The only significant independent variable was assessment of the overall experience with residents as teachers (t  =  5.350, P < .001). Conclusion Quality of interactions between residents and medical students is a key factor in medical students' assessment of their clerkship.
