The aim of this research is to understand the scope and the nature of studies where serious games for medical education are prospective research subjects for the development of learning motivation. There are specific research questions that are of interest to the authors: (1) how many studies are devoted to exploring how serious games and simulations develop learning motivation; (2) how many studies are devoted to medical education, especially continuing professional education; and (3) which professional fields are most reflected in the search results, and is interdisciplinary learning observed? To answer the research questions, a systematic analysis of publications was chosen as the research method. Altogether, 132 articles published from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018 were selected for the review.

ObjectiveThe COVID-19 pandemic and government measures implemented to counter the spread of the infection may be a major stressor affecting the psychological health of university students. This study aimed to explore how anxiety symptoms changed during the pandemic.Methods676 students (76% females) at Zurich University of Applied Sciences participated in the first (T0) and second (T1) survey waves. Anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-Scale-7 (GAD-7). Risk and protective factors (e.g., COVID-19-related variables) were examined.ResultsGAD-7 scores decreased significantly from T0 to T1 (mean change: −0.446, SE = 0.132, 95% CI: −0.706, −0.186, t = −3.371, df = 659, p = 0.001). Participants with moderate-to-severe anxiety score were 20.2 and 15.6% at T0 and T1, respectively. The following positively predicted anxiety: older age, female gender, non-Swiss nationality, loneliness, participants’ concern about their own health, and interaction between time and participants’ concern about their own health. Resilience and social support negatively predicted anxiety.ConclusionsOur findings provide information for public health measures and psychological interventions supporting the mental health of university students during the COVID-19 emergency.

<p>The article features the role of motivation for higher education. The authors state that learning motivation is one of the decisive factors of educational process efficiency at higher educational institutes, presenting a set of motives that cause students’ activity in the educational process. The knowledge available in the psycho-pedagogical science about the issues of learning motivation is synthesized. The article presents the results of the survey conducted among the first-year students of Kuzbass State Technical University named after T. F. Gorbachev to explore meaningful aspects of their learning motivation. It is noted that a group of material motives, in which students perceive learning as the basis for their future decent material life, and a group of civil motives, in which students perceive learning as preparation for future social life, are their main leaning motives. Cognitive motive, such as a desire for new knowledge, are also revealed in the student survey. A group of prestige motives, such as a desire for a high social status, is also revealed. Most of the students' learning motives are attributed to the group of external motives. The results obtained, according to the authors, are a signal for teachers to search for approaches that are aimed at developing their students' internal motivation. Internal motives of learning can be considered as semantic motives for learning activity. Identified motives are also referred by the authors to a group of conscious motives. The importance of conducting such surveys is emphasized; on the one hand, for students themselves and the process of comprehension of their desires and needs; on the other hand, for planning and development of learning motivation and searching for effective motivationally-oriented approaches to teaching.</p>

The appeal to the category of «human capital», its conceptual development becomes particularly topical in the late 20th century. The conditions and requirements of the digital economy, which are actively stated by society, significantly increase the requirements for training graduates of educational institutions at all levels. Special attention is paid to the system of higher professional education. Intensive development of a person’s productive abilities and subsequent formation of its readiness (within the limits of competences) is possible only with significant investment in specific (primarily educational) processes of activity. Thus, investments in education, upbringing, and the formation of a healthy physical body are included in the first phase of creating human capital. The article discusses some aspects of the formation of human capital in the learning process. Human capital as an integral procedural component of the educational process is characterised by the level of intellectual and spiritual development, innovative abilities of students. In the context of higher education, the most clearly considered elements are manifested through a network of innovation parks. What we describe in the article, is the pedagogic innovation Park functioning at Petrozavodsk State University in its activities is subject to the tasks of increasing the availability and quality of education at all levels that meet the requirements of advanced innovative development of the regional economy. The success of innopark’s practical activities is shown in the creation and testing of a large number of methods in the work of the University, which include blocks and elements of forming the human capital of each student.
