Points Of View

The article emphasizes the importance of improving by a Ukrainian language teacher the knowledge of the specifics of educational material (economics terminology) to be taught, in order to achieve the linguistic and educational objectives set. The role of terms that should be included in the productive vocabulary of students to form and formulate thoughts in the professional context has been defined. It is noticed that the degree of proficiency in using terminoogy is determined by the level of communicative competence. The aim of the article is to study different points of view on the problem of students’ readiness to mastering language means that are necessary for establishing mutual understanding among communicators during joint professional activities. The task is to consider issues related to the communication aspect of the educational material that is presented by modern economic terms concentrated in texts of coursebooks for economics. Economics vocabulary, which includes the names of phenomena and concepts of social and ideological spheres, is the part of the lexical system of the language the study of which is relevant, therefore, during activities of a teacher associated with training students to use economics terms, it is necessary to define and create conditions for obtaining necessary information of a professional character and ensuring effective communication among specialists in the relevant field. Thus, teaching terminology within the framework of a communication-based approach is directly related to the development of verbal behavior which models situations of professional activity and its specific manifestations. Terms express special concepts that have been learnt by students, i.e., those which they easily and actively use when the need arises. The function of terms is in creating the professional component of information, forming a certain expression. The prospect of the study is the organization of educational material and methodical developments for use based on the motives and peculiarities of student groups.

This study examined if creating intimacy in a group discussion is more effective toward reaching consensus about climate change than a focus on information. Participants were randomly assigned to either a group that spent the first part of an online discussion engaging in self-disclosure and focusing on shared values (intimacy condition) or discussing information from an article about climate change (information condition). Afterward, all groups were given the same instructions to try to come to group consensus on their opinions about climate change. Participants in the intimacy condition had higher ratings of social cohesion, group attraction, task interdependence, and collective engagement and lower ratings of ostracism than the information condition. Intimacy groups were more likely to reach consensus, with ostracism and the emotional tone of discussion mediating this effect. Participants were more likely to change their opinion to reflect that climate change is real in the intimacy than information condition.

The Stranger

The stranger on the Internet effect has been studied in relation to self-disclosure. Nonetheless, quantitative evidence about how people mentally represent and perceive strangers online is still missing. Given the dynamic development of web technologies, quantifying how much strangers can be considered suitable for pro-social acts such as self-disclosure appears fundamental for a whole series of phenomena ranging from privacy protection to fake news spreading. Using a modified and online version of the Ultimatum Game (UG), we quantified the mental representation of the stranger on the Internet effect and tested if people modify their behaviors according to the interactors’ identifiability (i.e., reputation). A total of 444 adolescents took part in a 2 × 2 design experiment where reputation was set active or not for the two traditional UG tasks. We discovered that, when matched with strangers, people donate the same amount of money as if the other has a good reputation. Moreover, reputation significantly affected the donation size, the acceptance rate and the feedback decision making as well.

Abstract Introduction Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) have been applied differently in many postgraduate medical education (PGME) programmes, but the reasons for and the consequences of this variation are not well known. Our objective was to investigate how the uptake of EPAs is influenced by the workplace environment and to what extent the benefits of working with EPAs are at risk when the uptake of EPAs is influenced. This knowledge can be used by curriculum developers who intend to apply EPAs in their curricula. Method For this qualitative study, we selected four PGME programmes: General Practice, Clinical Geriatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, and Radiology & Nuclear Medicine. A document analysis was performed on the national training plans, supported by the AMEE Guide for developing EPA-based curricula and relevant EPA-based literature. Interviews were undertaken with medical specialists who had specific involvement in the development of the curricula. Content analysis was employed and illuminated the possible reasons for variation in the uptake of EPAs. Results An important part of the variation in the uptake of EPAs can be explained by environmental factors, such as patient population, the role of the physician in the health-care system, and the setup of local medical care institutions where the training programme takes place. The variation in uptake of EPAs is specifically reflected in the number and breadth of the EPAs, and in the way the entrustment decision is executed within the PGME programme. Discussion Due to variation in uptake of EPAs, the opportunities for trainees to work independently during the training programme might be challenging. EPAs can be implemented in the curriculum of PGME programmes in a meaningful way, but only if the quality of an EPA is assessed, future users are involved in the development, and the key feature of EPAs (the entrustment decision) is retained.
