19Th Century France

The paper focuses on selected animal paintings of French artist Rosa Bonheur (1822–1899). She was the most famous female painter in 19th-century France, creating a huge amount of art works that reflect specific cultural beliefs and values of her time. Bonheur’s pictoral construction of reality shows that her paintings are located at the interface between different artistic strategies. A deep understanding of Bonheur’s work is presented here by drawing connections between animal painting history, social sciences, gender studies and art-historical concepts. In addition, the topic's educational value is explained and connected to contemporary teaching methods.

Special Competence

This paper discusses one of the urgent problems of prospective IT teachers training - the development of a special competence: the ability to use the programming methodology for solving tasks of the school Computer Science course. In contrast to the classical approach in teaching methods, when each topic under the section Programming is fixed by the solution of a number of simple tasks, we propose to solve problems with spirally increasing complexity (such tasks will be understood as large projects, the implementation of which can be improved throughout the study of the programming course, while at each stage the result of the work will be a full-fledged workable program). Any round of the solution, except for the first one, can be omitted without loss of functionality, and each block of the task can be independently evaluated by students. The paper provides an example of such a problem, describes in detail the stages of its solution, as well as the evaluation system. This technique has been tested at Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education with the students majoring in 44.03.01 Pedagogical Education (Computer Science). The proposed method has shown good results both in the field of motivation and in terms of learning.

Student Relationship

The role of lecturers in determining students’ academic excellence is important. No matter how smart a student is, the knowledge gained may not be effective without the teaching of a lecturer. The effectiveness of lecturers’ teaching from the perspective of students is important in producing an excellent student who is able to overcome various obstacles in life and become an asset to a country. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the students’ perspective on the effectiveness of lecturers’ teaching Economic courses. The sample of this study consists of 300 diploma students from various faculties who study at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Pahang Raub Campus. The instrument used is a questionnaire distributed to the respondents using stratified random sampling. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. This study found that the effectiveness of lecturers’ teaching can be seen from the aspect of the lecturers’ personality, teaching methods, attitudes and lecturer student relationship. The findings also show that the main characteristics in the lecturers’ personality which of students’ choice are friendly, firm, caring, punctual and diligent. The Multiple Regression Analysis results show that the lecturers’ knowledge and teaching experience are the dominant factors that influence their grades. Furthermore, this study did not deny that the lecturers’ who are friendly, easily approachable and love to joke are also significant estimators for the students’ academic achievement.
