Different Levels

The quality of the educational process can be measured by different criteria. These criteria are based on factors, including good communication as an important aspect. Similarly to good communication being able to improve the quality of life, the quality of the educational process largely depends on the communication ability of teachers or implementers of education. In his or her job, the teacher has to master communication on different levels: with his or her superior (the principal), colleagues, parents and pupils (students). Not only does the teacher have to educate students by example, he/she occasionally also need to provide assistance in solving conflicts so as to avoid peer violence. During their studies at the university, student teachers should acquire good communication skills. Even though these have been introduced in the content of pedagogical study programmes, their extent is still not sufficient. This paper presents an example of trial Communication in Education laboratory work that was implemented with three generations of 4th year students – future teachers of technical education. Their reaction was very positive and they expressed the desire for additional work to be prepared. Key words: communication process in the school, personal orientation, reference framework, teacher education.

Different Levels

The problems of the quality of higher education are constantly discussed at different levels, but so far no precise recipes for a radical change in the situation have been developed. Constantly changing standards, dictated by the trend of the times and changes in the requirements of the labor market, only exacerbate this situation. As they say, if you constantly loosen the ground, nothing will sprout on it. However, the rapid obsolescence of knowledge, the need for timely and effective changes in the educational process to meet the requirements of the market and the employer, the displacement of outdated professions by new ones, weak basic training (in most cases) of school graduates require different approaches to optimizing the educational process in universities. The key problems of the educational process in universities lie in its different understanding by teachers, students, heads of basic educational programs (OEP) and the employer. The student and the employer understand (or should understand) that relevant knowledge is needed that meets the requirements of the current market, which can constantly change, and in this case, the educational process must be quickly rebuilt. Teachers and leaders of OOP offer for study the material that they themselves own, regardless of whether there is a need for this knowledge (sometimes very outdated) among students who are later expected by the employer. One of the approaches that can make it possible to effectively optimize the educational process depending on the changing realities of time and the market is the project approach, which, according to the authors, must be laid as the basis for the design of the educational process at the university. The article simulates the educational process of the university in order to identify the factors that determine its effectiveness and the possibility of following these factors. The ways of optimization (reengineering) of this process, increasing its adaptability to the requirements of the labor market are proposed.

The issue of adaptation of modern first-year students to the educational process at the university is one of the current pedagogical tasks. Successful adaptation significantly affects the quality of received education, the degree of formation of personal and professional qualities, contributes to the development of motivation, self-education, and self-development. The purpose of the research is to substantiate the criteria, indicators, and levels of adaptation of first-year students to the learning process at the university. The material for the study was the domestic scientific sources of studying the peculiarities of the adaptation process of students to educational activities in higher education. Research methods: analysis and generalization of psychological-pedagogical and educational-methodical literature on the research topic. We determine as the main criteria for the adaptation of first-year students to the university, the adaptive potential and professionally important qualities of students, consider these concepts, their structure, and their basic properties. On the basis of the analysis and generalization of the existing indicators of the implementation of the adaptive potential, we formulate the author's indicators for determining the level of its development. The degree of formation of professionally important qualities of students are low, medium, and high levels of development of emotional intelligence, negative communicative attitude, intellectual lability, and stress tolerance.

Both the authors’ previous experience and the devoted literature highlight the particular role of teacher-student communication for the quality of graduates’ professional development and education. The research presented herein is based on a sociological survey conducted in a large university from north-west Romania, on more than 600 Economics Master’s students.The chief goal of our research is to determine efficient ways to improve the student training provided by the master programmes in Economics, by means of a better stimulation on the part of the teachers, a more efficient teacher – student communication, a better quality of the teaching materials employed and a greater relevance of the educational content for the particular area of specialisation pursued.After an initial review of the material resulted from the sociological survey, we continued to analyse the results in relation to the tiers of the communication process, the role of groups in the learning process and of the education process in the development of emotional intelligence.Within the current phase of our study, the underlying hypotheses are:(1) The training of Economics and Business Administration students provides them with opportunities of professional specialisation, while developing skills and abilities useful in everyday life.(2) The students’ training in Economics also entails an implicit educational process, which supports the development of their emotional intelligence.(3) Multiculturalism bears manifold benefits, both in terms of specialist professional training and on graduates’ attitudes and behaviour in the social life.This study allowed us to validate the hypotheses and to draw some interesting conclusions for the education of students enrolled in the university surveyed.

The work considered a system of knowledge control of the Kharkiv National Automobile and Highway University. It was shown that the quality of higher education depends mainly on the level of student training, the qualifications of teaching staff, the organization of the learning process, the efficiency of monitoring the quality of the education, and also factors allowing to improve the quality of education in the university. Assessment of the knowledge quality received by the students in the "Chemistry" discipline was carried out among the students of the Automobile Faculty of the KHNADU, entered the first year of the Bachelor of full-time education, during 2014/15–2018/19 academic years. The control was carried out with the help of traditional pedagogical practice types – the main (preliminary, final, and control of residual knowledge) and periodical (current and thematic knowledge tests). Statistical research on the performance of the main types of students' knowledge control, as more significant, shows that the important part of educational activity in university is an effective organization of its control. It was established that main principles of the control of students’ knowledge received during learning subject are the regularity and systematical conduct, the objectivity of assessment of the level of students' skills, the ability to identify the actual level of learning educational materials by the students, the timeliness of identification of the gaps in the learning process by the teacher and applying ways to overcome them. The internal and external factors affecting the performance of students during studying the "Chemistry" discipline have been distinguished. The internal factors are the knowledge level before entering the university and the motivation for learning the subject. The external are an organization of the educational process, self-organization of student learning activity, teaching methods and forms and professionalism of the educator, quality of additional services (holding consultations and individual lessons), educator-student relationship. It was identified that during studying the "Chemistry" discipline, the influence of the factors that students had before entering the university is weakened, and the external factors, which appeared in the process of studying in university, have a significant impact.

The subject of the article is the formation of professional culture of students; it is considered in order to improve the work on its formation in the educational process at the University, in particular-in RIPB-on the material of training economists, lawyers and customs officers. The authors describe professional culture as a set of special knowledge and practical skills of a person as an “employeeˮ, implemented in a specific type of socially significant work, emphasize that it is based on the universal values of a professional as a «person». Therefore, the formation of professional culture is inseparable from the socio-humanitarian development of students, carried out in the course of studying the relevant disciplines. According to the authors, any professional culture has its own organization (in our case - University), which is based on a particular professional activity (in particular, University training), while it embodies a Form that is subject to “fillingˮ with the specific Content of various activities as socially institutionalized pro-fessions. As conclusions, the following problems are substantiated: introduction of a special course “Professional cultureˮ; overcoming “departmentalˮ disciplinarity in the study of socio-humanitarian and professional dis-ciplines; improving the quality of “formalˮ training of students in the conditions of digitalization and comput-erization; development of a culture of extracurricular forms of professional work.
