The article examines the self-determined motivation of students studying at the V.I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University (Simferopol) in the context of pedagogical activity using the social network VKONTAKTE as a platform for educational interaction and distance knowledge formation. The paper uses the theory of self-determination of Deci and Ryan, which provides an appropriate basis for assessing self-determined motivation in a targeted audience in the context of distance learning based on ICT. The results show that students are motivated to use the pages of the social network VKONTAKTE for educational purposes, which allows them to gain new knowledge and satisfaction from improving their own level of education. Taking into account the motivational aspect of the use of the social network in the university pedagogy of online distance learning, it can be concluded that it has a significant potential for large-scale and effective integration of ICT in higher education.

  El perfil de la radio universitaria se define en gran parte a raíz de los contenidos de la programación, que constituye el espíritu de cada una de estas emisoras. La radio universitaria es opuesta a los contenidos de la radio comercial, porque tiene objetivos muy diferentes. Su propósito está relacionado con la educación, la cultura, la ciencia, la tecnología y el interés social. En este contexto, la Universidad Técnica de Manabí cuenta con una radio modalidad on line, que transmite una programación variada con contenidos académicos orientada a la comunidad universitaria. Por este medio los estudiantes de Nivelación cursan materias como Desarrollo y Habilidades del Pensamiento. En este texto se indaga en la forma en que por medio de la radia universitaria se fortalecen conocimientos propios de esta asignatura y los resultados que se obtienen con los estudiantes que empiezan sus estudios superiores.   Palabras clave: radio universitaria; educación; cultura, ciencia; pensamiento.   Abstract The profile of the university radio is defined largely immediately after the contents of the programming, which constitutes the spirit of each one of these issuers.

In 2020 universities had to quickly implement remote education alternatives as a result of the social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. To keep students engaged with the university, we implemented a teaching-learning model that relates physiology contents to the COVID-19 pandemic using online educational platforms. A 1-mo web course was proposed for health sciences students from the Federal University of Pampa. It included synchronous meetings twice a week and asynchronous activities using scientific articles, case studies, and interactive online tools. The students approved the methodology developed, assessing it as dynamic and innovative. They reported that the activity helped to better understand the relations between COVID-19 and physiological systems. The web course also contributed to the identification of reliable sources of news and stimulated the sharing of scientific content with their families. We concluded that the use of online platforms contextualizing the physiology content considering current events helps students in learning human physiology and improves their abilities to apply this information to their daily life, in this specific case, regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Resumo A pedagogia social é uma pedagogia voltada para a libertação da pessoa concre ta, inserida na história. Privilegia a valonzação da comunicação e do diálogo, a confiança na capacidade do ser humano em refazer-se e refazer a história. Nessa perspectiva, a influência de Paulo Freire no âmbito da educação popular, social e comunitária é reconhecida em todo o mundo e está presente nas políticas públicas de cultura e de saúde, por meio de planos nacionais instituídos em todo o territÓrio nacional, mas, curiosamente, não na educação, seu campo de ação e reflexão, no qual a incorporação de seu vasto cabedal ainda é resultante de experiências pontuais e isoladas. De sua relação com a pedagogia popular, Roberto da Silva, professor da Universidade de São Paulo, lembra que, no Brasil, pedagogia social e educação popular não apenas se confundem, mas têm, em Paulo Freire, um de seus pioneiros, ainda que ele não tenha escrito sobre o tema. No presente artigo, pretende-se aproximar o conceito de pedagogia social, desde o horizonte em que ela nasce em meio a revolução industrial alemã, ao conceito de inacabamento, proposto por Paulo Freire e que converge para a valorização e a defesa da pessoa contra toda forma de opressão, autoritarismo ou alienação. Palavras-chave: Pedagogia social. Educação popular. Diálogo. Social pedagogy and the concept of incompleteness in Paulo Freire Abstract The Social Pedagogy is a pedagogy focused on the liberation of the concrete person, inserted in history; privileges the value of communication and dialogue; confidence in the human being's ability to redo him/herself and redo history. In this perspective, the influence of Paulo Freire in the field of Popular, Social and Community Education is recognized throughout the world, being present in the public policies of Culture and Health, through national plans es tablished all over the national territory. Curiously, such influence is not present in Education, Freire's field of action and reflection, in which the incorporation of his vast knowledge is still the result of specific and isolated experiences. Roberto da Silva, Professor at the University of São Paulo, points out that in Brazil, "Social Pedagogy and Popular Education are not only interlinked, but Paulo Freire IS one of his pioneers, although Paulo Freire did not write about the subject." In the present article, we intend to approach the concept of Social Pedagogy, from the horizon in which it arlses during the German industrial revolution, to the concept of 'inacabamento', proposed by Paulo Freire and that converges for the valorization and the defense of the person against all forms of oppression, authoritarianism or alienation. Keywords: Social pedagogy. Popular education.

Starting from the fact that higher education is an activity of special social interest and the initiator of the development and improvement of society, in theory and teaching practice questions are often asked regarding the quality of higher education and the possibility of its improvement. The quality of higher education in terms of the increase in its effectiveness is one of the shared aims of the Bologna convention, that is, the current reform process in European countries. It is determined by the quality of the study programs and the quality of the teaching process, which requires a competent teacher, prepared for the process of innovating teaching plans and programs, and the realization and improvement of the teaching practice. Considering the social importance of education and teaching, research into the social group which performs work-related tasks in the educational process, as well as into the quality of the teaching itself, is of special importance. The paper presents the results of research regarding student perceptions of the characteristics of teachers manifested during the course of educational practice in higher education institutions, which were based on the following: the human, professional and pedagogical qualities of teachers, the quality of the university education/teaching process and learning outcomes/learning achievements (the prevalence of theoretical knowledge, practical application of knowledge, etc.). The aim of the paper is to, on the basis of three empirical studies, from a sociological standpoint evaluate the perception of the social role and competencies of teachers and the quality of university education from the viewpoint of the student youth(in 2009, 985 students from 30 colleges in Serbia were surveyed, in 2012, 2208 students of the University of Niš (818), University of Bitolj (804) and the University of Veliko Trnovo (586), and in 2019, 374 students from 13 faculties of the University of Niš). The empirical findings indicate that teachers are qualified professionals who lecture clearly, comprehensively and are able to emphasize the most important points, but that their lectures are still insufficiently interesting, and that they are often unjust and biased. Considering the noted differences between the competencies of teachers working in higher education settings, and the quality and outcomes of the teaching/learning, “models” of teaching/learning have been proposed in this paper for each of the countries included in the study (Serbia, Macedonia, Bulgaria). Based on noted disparity between theory and teaching practice, the paper points to the need for new scientific research in the context of reform processes in higher education, with the continued redefinition of its goals and tasks with the aim of improving the quality of the teaching process and teaching practice.
