Due to the wide application of remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, the foundations of the education system have been shaken; education has entered a new era of teaching and learning on digitalized platforms. How do pedagogues evaluate their experiences when information technologies have become the main axis of carrying out their work? What impact did telework have on pedagogues as employees of an education institution or as individuals? What could be expected from older pedagogues in the shift to using digital means of teaching? These were the main questions raised in this research, the results of which are presented in this article. This research is original because the differences in experiences of telework were studied not only in terms of age and nature of work (professional/leader) but also the type of education institution. This delineation is of key importance in understanding the virtual work challenges faced by pedagogues in schools, professional education institutions, colleges, and universities.

Developments in communication and information technologies in the last decade have had a significant impact on instructional and learning activities. For many students and educators, the Internet became the significant medium for sharing instruction, learning and communication. Access to knowledge beyond boundaries and cultures has an impact on methods of teaching and learning, affecting professional education in corporations worldwide. The blending of science with commercial applications, new methods of conducting business, and access to published and preliminary research is not longer limited to leading educational institutions and the northern hemisphere. This paper discusses educational opportunities, reviewing the latest trends in information retrieval, along with new teaching methodologies related to availability and globalization of information. The good news is that the multicultural melding of various intelligences and the global linking of intelligent knowledge systems promises to lend a multicultural wisdom to the selection and provision of information. We hope that this may ultimately contribute to a lessening of the gap between educationally rich and poor nations. In this paper the “digital divide” is seen to be a less vexing problem for the future of globalized intelligent information systems. This system, called the “Global Brain,” ameliorates existing differences in national access to educational content repositories used for teaching and learning.

Siempre se ha tenido una idea restringida de la evaluación: ha sido asociada con el momento de la toma de exámenes. En otras palabras, equivalente a la certificación de los conocimientos que los estudiantes han aprendido y los profesores enseñado, concluyendo los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje.<br />Pero pensarla solamente como un procedimiento que constata ciertos resultados y cierra un ciclo es minimizar sus posibilidades. La evaluación puede verificar además, capacidades, competencias, habilidades y hasta actitudes, pudiendo revelar problemas tanto en el proceso de aprendizaje como en la enseñanza misma. La información resultante debería generar los mecanismos necesarios para solucionarlos y mejorar el proceso educativo en general.<br />Es necesario entonces, considerarla como un proceso en sí misma, no exenta de complejidad, que no debe ser concebida en forma aislada de la enseñanza: se evalúa aquello que se ha enseñado, tanto en conceptos como en la metodología aplicada.<br />Así, la evaluación no es solamente un instrumento de certificación sino, más aún, un elemento crucial en la formación profesional de nuestros estudiantes que puede, además, retroalimentar ambos procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Como formadores, nos cabe una enorme responsabilidad en la generación y comprobación de los conocimientos, que no debemos ignorar.<br /><br />There has always been a misconception about evaluation: it has been associated with the moment an exam is taken. In other words, the act of evaluating is equivalent to the certification of the knowledge students have learnt and professors have taught, summarizing both teaching and learning processes.<br />But considering it only as a procedure which verifies certain results, as well as the simple conclusion of a cycle, minimizes the immense possibilities evaluation can offer. Capacity, performance, skill and even attitudes can also be verified in order to reveal problems in the students' learning process in addition to the teaching process. The resulting information should generate decisions which would correct those problems and enhance the education system accordingly.<br />Therefore, evaluation ought to be thought of as a process itself, quite complex indeed, which must not be considered as isolated from the teaching process: we evaluate what we teach, conceptually and methodologically speaking.<br />Consequently, evaluation is not only an instrument of certification but moreover, a key element in the professional education of our students, operating as feedback of the learning and teaching processes. As educators, we shoulder the responsibility of generating and verifying knowledge. Such responsibility is not to be ignored.<br />

The article analyzes the relevance and necessity of providing educational services at two levels of vocational education (secondary specialized and Ist stage of higher education) of pedagogical staff of preschool education institutions in the education system of the Republic of Belarus in the current educational situation: socio-demographic and normative-legal conditionality of vocational education; possibility of creating a pedagogical cluster in institutions of secondary specialized education and institutions of higher education; curriculum integration trends; elimination of duplication in the content and forms of the educational process organization in order to increase the motivation of students’ educational activities who study for the specialty “Preschool education”. A number of factors affect the increase in the motivation of college graduates to continue their professional education at the university: teachers with higher education have broader conditions for the implementation of professional activities in a preschool education institution; training according to integrated curricula in a shorter time frame is provided, and the cost of training is slightly lower; ability to participate in the educational process remotely, etc. The pedagogical cluster ensures not only continuity in the content of education at two levels of the education system, but also enriches the pedagogy of higher education with new forms, methods and technologies of working with students in the context of implementing the principles of cooperation pedagogy. Keywords: preschool education, secondary specialized and higher education, vocational education, pedagogical cluster, integration of curricula and programs, distance learning

The paper notes that unemployment among young professionals is one of the most important problems in Kazakhstani society. The youth unemployment rate in Kazakhstan is very high. During the economic crisis, youth becomes the most vulnerable group. The level of unemployment among young professionals is almost half of the total unemployment rate in general.The relevance of the chosen research topic lies, first of all, in the increasing share of young specialists in the number of labour force and in the need to develop, in this regard, measures to solve problems associated with the country's youth unemployment. The authors note that the education system does not always form the competencies demanded by students in the labour market, as a result of which employers do not want to hire university graduates; they prefer workers having experience, which contributes to the growth of unemployment among university graduates. In this regard, the authors conducted an expert survey of heads of organizations in order to identify their opinions on the competencies of university graduates needed in the labour market (130 people were interviewed). The authors came to the conclusion that the education system does not adequately meet the needs of society as a whole and the economy in particular, and does not fully form the necessary competencies for university students.Recommendations are offered on improving the education system in order to form competencies that are important in the modern labour market

One of the substantialpart of the professional competence of a teacher of sewing profile is design competence. However, the peculiarities of its formation on the basis of modern technologies, in particular the tectonic approach, have not become the subject-matter of an independent research yet. The tectonic approach is used in the technology of construction and design of garments in developed countries. The development of information technologies in the field of light industry requires new approaches to solving problems of formation of design competence, which can be achieved through the usage of the tectonic approach. Consequently, the aim of the article is to characterize the conceptual and methodological features of the formation of design competence of future teachers of the sewing profile at professional educationinstitutions on the basis of the tectonic approach. The set task was performed on the basis of literature analysis by the methods of systematic, comparative analysis for generalization and systematization of referencesources and scientists’researches in order to determine the basic concepts of the given theme. The analysis of documents, in particular curricula and programs of professional disciplines, was used. Based on the analysis, we chose the way of formation of design competence on the basis of the tectonic approach by the means ofinterdisciplinary approach. Analysis of the training of future teachers of professional education institution, the curricula and the academic programs of various disciplines allowed us to claim that they had objective opportunities for the formation of the competence, namely: "Design of garments" and "CAD (computer-aided design) in the garment industry". The analysis of the aim, tasks, the maintenance of discipline allowed us to define that the central place in the decision of the problems, outlined in our research, belonged to modules "Modern process of clothes design", "Problem-solving project technology". The tectonic approach was introduced in these thematic modules. During a long period of time we were developing and testing a non-calculation method of designing women's topwear. The attempt to automate the process of designing a women's topwear was made. Development ofbasic model of clothing in an automated mode greatly facilitated, simplified and accelerated the designing of garments. The process of making sewing clothes began to take less time, leaving more time for creativity. The application of the non-calculation method of designing in manual or automated modes for the designof clotheswith usage of the tectonic approach led to the formation of design competence of future teachers at professional education institutions.

This paper is to explain the development of android that will be used later in the mobile-based education system. Nowadays, it is important for schools, colleges, and universities to search for an innovative way of delivering information to students. Since the advancement of mobile-based technology, android has now become an important tool in teaching and learning processes. Several institutions have also proved that with this application, students are now able to gain more experience and be more engaging in classroom learning rather than the traditional learning method. In relation to that, the author has created a new application in mobile learning called Electrical Mobile Learning (EML), especially for Electrical Education. The purpose of this application is to positively contribute to users by providing them with a simple, convenient, reliable and a faster way of accessing information in Electrical Education either online or offline. EML application is developed by using the MIT Apps Inventor 2 platform and is mainly made with five function buttons containing electrical information as the user’s options. The EML has been successfully developed with more options and information with just one application.
