The main challenges of studying user preferences are related to user uncertainty related to a lack of previous experience with m-Government services. This paper investigates user preferences for potential mobile campus services. It was conducted as a pilot survey with the goal to develop and test a measurement approach for revealing preferences for services that users haven’t yet experienced. The dataset used in this paper is taken from a contingent ranking survey carried out in February 2008, involving purposive sampling of third year university students pursuing a bachelor’s degree at the Graduate School of Management, St. Petersburg State University. Numerical estimations reflecting the importance of services and content features were derived using ASPID-methodology (Analysis and Synthesis of Parameters under Information Deficiency), the main advantage of which lies in its ability to work accurately with different types of uncertain information on weight-coefficients.

The Brain

Once strictly the domain of medical and graduate education, neuroscience has made its way into the undergraduate curriculum with over 230 colleges and universities now offering a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience. The disciplinary focus on the brain teaches students to apply science to the understanding of human behavior, human interactions, sensation, emotions, and decision making. In this article, we encourage new and existing undergraduate neuroscience programs to envision neuroscience as a broad discipline with the potential to develop competencies suitable for a variety of careers that reach well beyond research and medicine. This article describes our philosophy and illustrates a broad-based undergraduate degree in neuroscience implemented at a major state university, Virginia Tech. We highlight the fact that the research-centered Experimental Neuroscience major is least popular of our four distinct majors, which underscores our philosophy that undergraduate neuroscience can cater to a different audience than traditionally thought.

Першорядною задачею освіти є формування мислення як самоцілі, що створює для особистості мож-ливості задля здійснення керованого впливу на соціальні явища та процеси, використовуючи сучасні знання та новітні технології. Здатність людини успішно соціалізуватися не можлива без інтелектуаліза-ції, яка має досягатися в освітньому процесі.Автором статті була розроблена анкета та проведене опитування магістрантів І року денної фор-ми навчання Херсонського державного університету (опитано 187 осіб, 44% від загальної чисельності в 2019–2020 навчальному році). Більшість здобувачів продовжує навчання за напрямом підготовки бака-лавріату. Однак опитування засвідчило, що основні теми дисципліни «Основи наукових досліджень» були засвоєні не досить глибоко з причини малої кількості аудиторних занять. Для багатьох магістрантів незрозумілим виявилося співвідношення філософських підходів, загальнонаукових та конкретно-нау-кових методів, а також зміст новітніх методологічних принципів та підходів. Більшість здобувачів не змогла відповісти на питання щодо наукових результатів, які вони отримували завдяки використанню зазначених ними методів. Це свідчить про недостатній зв’язок методології як теорії та наукової прак-тики. Було також виявлено, що більшість магістрантів не пов’язує майбутню професійну діяльність із науковими дослідженнями. Ця обставина зобов’язує викладачів посилити відповідальність за форму-вання гідного відношення здобувачів вищої освіти до науки як соціального і професійного інституту та теоретичного мислення як основи будь-якої високопрофесійної діяльності.Слід знайти оптимальне колегіальне рішення (у кожному університеті ексклюзивне) стосовно під-вищення в навчальних програмах різних напрямів освіти «питомої ваги» методологічного складника, а також сучасних форм підвищення методологічної підготовки викладачів теоретичних дисциплін. The primary task of education is the formation of thinking as an end in itself which creates opportunities for individuals to exert significant influence on social phenomena and processes using modern knowledge and the latest technologies. The ability of a person to successfully socialize is unthinkable without intellectualization which must be achieved in the educational process.The author of the article developed a questionnaire and conducted a survey of the first-year full-time postgraduates (master’s degrees) at Kherson State University (187 people were interviewed, which is 44% of the total amount in the 2019–2020 academic year). Most degree-seeking students continue their studies in the bachelor’s degree program. However, the survey showed that the main topics of the course “Fundamentals of Scientific Knowledge”, which was studied for bachelor’s degree programmes, are not sufficiently captured due to the small amount of class hours. For many postgraduates (master’s degrees) the relationship between the philosophical approaches themselves, general scientific and special scientific methods, as well as the content of the latest methodological principles, turned out to be incomprehensible. It is a matter of concern that many degree-seeking students were not able to answer the question about the results they obtained in scientific work through the use of the methods they specified. This indicates a lack of connection between methodological theory and scientific practice in the educational process. It was also found that the majority of postgraduates (master’s degrees) do not associate their future professional activities with scientific research. This circumstance obliges teachers to strengthen their responsibility for forming a decent attitude of degree-seeking students to science as a social and professional institution, as well as to theoretical thought as the basis of any highly professional activity.It is necessary to find an optimal collegial solution (exclusive at each university) to increase the “specific weight” of the methodological component in the curriculum documents of different branches of education, as well as regarding modern forms of improving the level of methodological competences of teachers of various theoretical disciplines.

The article discusses methods for solving geometric problems with the active use of methods such as analysis and synthesis, analogy and generalization, based on theoretical thinking on the principle of ascent from simple to complex in order to develop students' ability to creative activity. The authors have developed systems of problems, focused on the formation of their ability to "make" independent discoveries both in the process of solving a problem and at the stage of researching the result of the solution. The developed system of problems is aimed at finding a way to solve a more complex problem, after a similar method has been used in relation to another simpler or particular problem. The participants in the experiment are future masters of pedagogical education (profile "Mathematical Education") at Togliatti State University. The article shows that the most effective methods of preparing future masters of mathematics education for creative professional activity can be such methods of scientific knowledge as analogy and generalization. It was revealed that in the process of learning to solve geometric problems included in the developed system, students demonstrate higher indicators of the level of formation of creative activity, as a result of the development of the ability of the future master of pedagogical education (profile "Mathematical Education") to analogy and its application in specific situations, his ability to use the established properties, skills and abilities formed, techniques and methods of action in relation to another object in new conditions and for new purposes, the use of mathematical concepts and theorems in more and more diverse specific problems.

The current climate of managed care has sparked efforts to reduce costs in patient care. In many cases, this has resulted in more efficient methods of patient management: chronic disease management in an outpatient setting appears to be one such success story. For critical care nurses interested in working beyond the boundaries of a traditional ICU, chronic disease management clinics represent an alternative environment in which they may apply their skills. Nancy Brass-Mynderse, RN, MSN, CCRN, a clinical nurse specialist (CNS) with 18 years of experience in critical care, was instrumental in development of the Scripps Health Chronic Disease Clinic at Green Hospital of Scripps Clinic, San Diego, Calif. Brass-Mynderse currently supervises the operation of the clinic, along with Omana Kaliangara, RN, MSN, CFNP, a nurse practitioner. Brass-Mynderse received her bachelor's degree from the University of Arizona, Tucson, Ariz, and her master's degree from San Diego State University. She recently obtained her family nurse practitioner certificate from California State University, Dominguez Hills, Calif. Kaliangara received her bachelor's degree from San Jose State University, San Jose, Calif, and her nurse practitioner certificate from the University of California, San Francisco, Calif. After working in family medicine and a diabetic clinic, Kaliangara developed an interest in the management of chronic diseases. In an interview with CRITICAL CARE NURSE in September, Brass-Mynderse and Kaliangara took time to discuss the development and operation of the clinic, and to recount some of their success stories.

Reentry and nonreentry women were compared on their reasons for being in school, goals associated with education, and campus services used or wanted. Eighty-two California State University, Hayward, undergraduate students volunteered to participate in the questionnaire survey. Reentry women were found to be more self-motivated, with higher educational goals, and higher grade point averages than nonreentry women. Reentry women also made less use of currently available student services. Reasons for this lack of use, and suggestions for future services were explored.
