The article deals with the effectiveness of testing as a method of pedagogical control of the professional knowledge of future specialists with higher education. The purpose of the article is to describe the advantages and disadvantages of mass control technologies, the reasons of weak development of pedagogical testing in domestic practice, to give recommendations for a partial solving the problems with the introduction of pedagogical testing. Methods. The authors implement the purpose with the help of such methods as analysis, comparison, generalization, systematization, testing. The results. The authors state that with the paradigm shift in education the main role in controlling the student’s knowledge was shifted to testing, which gave us the possibility to reduce a teacher’s workload and reduce the time for the process of knowledge control itself, as well as to activate the process of self-control among students. The authors emphasize that due to the modern requirements for professional knowledge of future specialists with higher education, they must have an advanced level of information culture and skills to work with printed and electronic source of information, systematize and interpret the professional information which they have obtained during the reading task. There is a description of two insights as for the advantages and disadvantages of mass control technologies in the article. The reasons of weak development of pedagogical testing in domestic practice have been also described. The recommendations for a partial solving the problems with the introduction of pedagogical testing have been given. Conclusions. The article deals with a method of problem solving of education management efficiency. It’s considered as a minimization of time to achieve the advanced level of success in a particular topic. In addition, the mathematical description of the success function and the function of time-consuming have been given in the article. Due to these, a method of minimizing training time for proving the required level of success has been obtained. The article suggests also a description of the applying of a given model for the education structure adaptive management, which saves the substantial time and teacher’s workload without losing the quality of learning material. The authors make an attempt to define the reasons for the absence of testing at the Ukrainian educational services market.

Over the last one hundred and twenty years, the Australian paramedic sector has changed dramatically; influenced and informed by a range of social, health, economic, professional, and political forces. However, there has been little reflection of those changes in either the perception of the discipline as a profession or the manner in which its membership is trained, socialised, and educated. This paper explores the links between professionalisation and education in the paramedic field. Paramedics are currently at best seen as a 'semi-profession' and a great deal of discussion about whether the discipline actually wants to achieve full professional status exists. Comparisons will be made with the professions of nursing and physiotherapy, outlining how and why they progressed from a semi-professional status to a fully recognised profession, culminating in a discussion about which characteristics the paramedics discipline as yet lacks. A review of common professional traits suggests three areas where the discipline falls short: 1) the delineation of its professional compass, especially in relation to extant recognised cognate (and competitive) professions, 2) National registration and regulation resulting in professional self-control and accreditation, and 3) Higher Education and the development of a unique body of professional knowledge. Finally it will be argued that the recognition and addressing of the gaps by the relevant policymakers, regulators, employers and academics will lead to the formulation of strategies that are most likely to result in professional status for paramedics in Australia.

The article examines the suitability of using learning management system Moodle as tools for organizing pre-service English teachers' self-study work at improving their phonological competency. As a result of analysis of the main advantages and disadvantages of developing, programming and using the existing multimedia computer courses it was concluded that the revealed disadvantages can be solved by their adaptation and reproduction on distance learning platform Moodle. A reflexive model of improving phonological competency in self-study work is suggested as the basis for exercises and tasks arrangement to improve teachers' to be pronunciation. The structure of the multimedia computer course «Sound English» is analyzed in detail, and the ways of its implementation on learning management system Moodle are suggested, in particular, distribution of learning material into modules and their smaller structural units – cycles. The notion «learning objects» is examined; the advantages of their use and the peculiarities of combination on different levels are given. To implement the seven stages of improving phonological competency the available types of activities in learning management system Moodle were analyzed. The following activities suitable for pronunciation improvement in self-study work are picked out: Read aloud, Questionnaire, Workshop, Lesson, Quiz, Glossary, Assignment. These types of activities are correlated with the multimedia computer course «Sound English» cycle headings: Watch Video, Check Pronunciation, Review Pronunciation Rules, Do Exercises, See Progress. To optimize the process of control and self-control of students' self-study work it is suggested to use self-monitoring worksheets, training questionnaires, and learning diaries. An algorithm of doing the exercises and tasks for improving phonological competency with the use of the system of learning management Moodle is suggested.

The purpose of the paper is to improve the methods of using test technologies in the educational process and to develop an optimal schedule for conducting tests in higher education when teaching programming languages. The article considers the advantages and disadvantages of test technologies. The author investigates the effectiveness of one-time and step-by-step testing and studies the role of testing at different stages of the educational process. In the course of the study, the author used written and computer forms of testing. The paper shows that step-by-step testing is more effective than one-time testing. The article identifies the expediency of testing that precedes the implementation of practical work. The results of the study allow us to develop an optimal schedule for conducting tests, which contributes to improving the quality of learning material and increasing students’ motivation.

In the research of intelligent sports vision systems, the stability and accuracy of vision system target recognition, the reasonable effectiveness of task assignment, and the advantages and disadvantages of path planning are the key factors for the vision system to successfully perform tasks. Aiming at the problem of target recognition errors caused by uneven brightness and mutations in sports competition, a dynamic template mechanism is proposed. In the target recognition algorithm, the correlation degree of data feature changes is fully considered, and the time control factor is introduced when using SVM for classification,At the same time, this study uses an unsupervised clustering method to design a classification strategy to achieve rapid target discrimination when the environmental brightness changes, which improves the accuracy of recognition. In addition, the Adaboost algorithm is selected as the machine learning method, and the algorithm is optimized from the aspects of fast feature selection and double threshold decision, which effectively improves the training time of the classifier. Finally, for complex human poses and partially occluded human targets, this paper proposes to express the entire human body through multiple parts. The experimental results show that this method can be used to detect sports players with multiple poses and partial occlusions in complex backgrounds and provides an effective technical means for detecting sports competition action characteristics in complex backgrounds.

The article considers the main approaches to the problem of stress resistance of students in higher education institutions of Ukraine. It is determined that a number of scientists consider stress resistance as a property of the individual that determines its effective activity, and others as cognitively conditioned mechanisms for overcoming stress. It is noted that in psychological science there are other views on the stress resistance of the individual, but when studying the stress resistance of students in the educational process of higher education, it is advisable to use the above approaches. Studies suggest that most students have low levels of psychological stress, mental stress and medium, high levels of resilience. The main coping strategies of students’ behavior in stressful situations are “confrontational coping”, “avoidance”, “self-control” and “problem solving planning”.

Information technology has created tremendous chances in higher education across the globe. With the availability and flexibility of learning online, there are increasing competitions between online learning and traditional, face-to-face classroom. These two types of learning both have their pros and cons. From the advantages and disadvantages of online learning, universities have recently changed the way of their teaching through combining online learning and traditional classroom. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate and understand the advancements of the combination of the two types of learning. In this paper, we will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of online learning and the combined learning. We also share our experience on teaching at Flinders University, South Australia through Flinders learning online system. From this knowledge, we will suggest some solutions about building a combined learning system which is suitable for Vietnamese universities.
