In modern educational system reform in Russia, there is a deepening contradiction between the required and real level of professional competence of teachers. One way to overcome this contradiction is the systematic professional development of the teaching staff implemented with the help of distance learning technologies (DLT). One of the means to ensure high quality of training is course evaluation by trainees. It allows for motivation and a high level of training, to understand the directions of the course modification. At the same time, teachers themselves are professional experts in training, and their assessment of the e-course may be more objective than that of the trainees of other professions. Additional vocational education is primarily characterized by a high degree of applied orientation to modern learning technologies. Such are the realities that changes, especially in digital technology in education, are changing rapidly. And it is so fast that, in fact, one person cannot be aware of the full range of directions in which they (the changes) are taking place. This problem can be solved using the DLT through systematic modification of the e-course. The object of the study in this paper is the process of teachers’ training in the system of professional development of pedagogical staff using distance learning technologies. The subject of the study: the mechanism of optimization of elearning distance learning courses used in the system of professional development of pedagogical staff. Research purpose: to identify mechanisms to optimize the effectiveness of e-courses to increase trainees’ motivation, correlation of theory content with practice with the help of trainees themselves under conditions of synergetic approach [1]. Research objectives: a) to identify parameters for improving the effectiveness of e-courses; b) to develop a toolkit for improving the effectiveness of e-courses; c) to develop recommendations for improving the effectiveness of e-courses. The method used in the study is the analysis of pedagogical literature, Google-form-based questionnaire, synthesis, and generalization. The novelty of the study is related to the creation of conditions for modifying e-courses for teachers’ professional development through the examination of the course by the teachers themselves. This article is written within the framework of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research project 19-29-14176 “Building a Fundamental Model of Digital Transformation of the General Education System Using a Digital Platform for Results-Based Education”.

Higher Learning Institutions today are increasingly required to produce highly mobile graduates able to respond to the ever changing needs of the contemporary workplace. Through industrial training, interns will be exposed to ethical values and good working practices as well as to help them understand the safety practices and regulations inside the industry and to instill the spirit of teamwork and good relationship between interns and employees. The motivation for the current research study is to examine the implementation of industrial training conducted by Faculty of Business and Management of Universiti Teknologi MARA and industrial perception on Business Students during their practical period. This research is also prompted by the concern in the increasing number of unemployed among fresh graduates. Feedback from industries would give a better picture of what is required of students since employers are increasingly looking beyond a graduate's academic knowledge. Results show that interns are flexible towards task assigned, committed and resourceful towards work. However, their level of problem solving and analytical skills were low and they also lacked communication skills. It is anticipated that this exploratory study will enable the academia to bridge the gap between theory and practice thus improving the curricula towards developing successful professional business graduates.

The capabilities expected to be attained by learners, after learning a course or programme, are called course outcomes (CO) and programme outcomes (PO), respectively. The objectives of outcome-based education (OBE) are to ensure realization of grooming graduates with all the theoretical, practical and soft skills required to make them competent and industry-ready professionals. This article discusses the implementation of an assessment system for analysing the attainment of outcomes in OBE. It is a web-based application for evaluating the attainment of COs, POs and programme educational objectives (PEOs) in institutions of higher learning. Recently, OBE and choice-based credit system (CBCS) have become prevalent in institutions of higher learning. The significance and benefits of OBE and CBCS are recognized by all stakeholders, including accrediting agencies. The process for establishing and refining, the vision and mission of the institution, vision and mission of the department offering the programme, COs, POs and PEOs are discussed. The procedure and rubrics for assessing the attainment of the outcomes are also discussed. Accreditation is an honouring mechanism used to assess the standards and quality of the education offered by a programme to a student at an institution of higher learning. The article discusses a systematic approach for assessment of attainment of outcomes by graduates of a programme in an autonomous engineering college following OBE with CBCS.

В мониторинге качества профессиональной подготовки студентов особое место занимает оценивание сформированности общих компетенций. Рассматривается проблема оценивания общих компетенций в ходе реализации программы подготовки специалистов, описаны опыты оценивания общих компетенций другими исследователями и предложена система оценивания с учетом функциональных компонентов компетенций. Установлена необходимость поэтапной ступенчатой системы оценивания промежуточных результатов обучения, предусматривающая мотивационный, когнитивный и поведенческий компоненты компетенций. Предлагается комплексный подход к оцениванию общих компетенций, заключающийся в промежуточной конкретизации конечных результатов обучения, формировании фонда оценочных средств, включающего тесты, анкеты и опросники для оценивания личностных качеств студента, комплексные междисциплинарные тесты для оценивания когнитивных составляющих компетенций и введения балльно-рейтинговой системы для оценивания деятельности студентов. The assessment of the general competencies formation has a special place in the monitoring of the quality of student’s professional training. This article describes various approaches used in both domestic and foreign literature to define the concept of common competencies. On the basis of their analysis, the authors understand that general competencies are the student’s personal qualities necessary to perform various types of professional activity. The problem of creating an integrated assessment system for general competencies is one of the most difficult problems in theory and practice of education. The purpose of the assessment activity is to determine the degree of compliance of knowledge and skills with those planned for the student. Many researchers think that determining the degree of conformity of knowledge and skills previously planned is the goal of education. The authors propose complementing this goal with the development of students’ self-esteem and their motivation for success. Knowledge, skills, and abilities are transformed into intermediate learning outcomes and become a means of achieving the goal gradually. The authors studied the experience of other researchers assessing general competencies and they concluded that all functional components of competencies are not always taken into account. The motivational, cognitive and activity components of competencies were identified by modern specialists. General competencies are also formulated as the final result of professional education that met federal state educational standards. It is difficult to apply them as specific intermediate results during the course of training. The authors propose a system for assessing general competencies in the course of general education. There is a need to create a specific table of general competencies, where each competence is divided into smaller competences, according to this system. There is also a need to develop a ratio matrix of the academic general education cycle disciplines and formed competences. Teachers determine the means of assessment for each learning outcome. For them, it is necessary to develop a system of rating scales and criteria with assessment indicators. These funds are used with a point-rating system for evaluating students’ activities, the results of which indicate the formation of the activity component of competencies. The authors selected suitable diagnostic tools in the form of psychological tests and questionnaires for assessing the personal qualities of the student, necessary for the formation of a particular general competence. Two complex interdisciplinary tests in mathematics, natural science, and humanities are used to assess the level of formation the cognitive component of competencies. They contain assignments to identify students’ skills, abilities, and ways of activity that ensure the successful development of general competencies.

We conducted the first national survey of computing education at Japanese universities in 2016. In this paper, we report the survey result of the computing education at non-IT departments and faculties whose major subject is not computing. The survey covers various aspects of computing education including program organization, quality and quantity of educational achievement, students, teaching staff and computing environment. We collected 994 answers through the survey. At least 87,000 non-ICT students are taking computing education in Japan. Although computing education is carried out at every major academic discipline, teaching effort greatly differs depending on the academic discipline. We also find shortage of teaching staff for computing education. The analysis result will be an essential input to develop reasonable curriculum guidelines and accreditation criteria to improve computing education at non-IT departments.

 In this current age of highly competitive global environment, teachers are under tremendous pressure to assess student learning in the most effective manner. Two tools that teachers commonly utilize to assess students in their classes are formative and summative assessment. In formative assessment, teachers gather data in order to improve student learning and in summative assessment they use the data to assess students’ learning at the end of a specific course of study. The scores on both types of assessment should meet the minimum standards of both reliability and validity. In this article we highlight the differences between the two forms of assessment, discuss the theories pertaining to summative and formative assessment, identify how educators at tertiary level in Bangladesh commonly utilize the two types of assessment and disclose opinions of teachers regarding whether the current assessment system is appropriate or need any further improvements. Findings from the study indicate that most teachers have an incomplete and unharmonious understanding about assessment often failing to clearly distinguish between formative and summative assessments.

Currently, the organization of primary health prevention in secondary schools is a complex interaction between the health and education systems. In order to determine the need and scope of optimizing the organization of primary medical prevention for school-age children and develop measures to increase its availability, sociological studies were conducted of 400 parents of children studying in secondary educational schools and 403 teaching staff of secondary general education schools. According to the results of a survey of parents of school-age children, the following conclusions can be drawn: parents with children visit polyclinics for the treatment of diseases or for preventive examinations, and they do not have enough time and opportunity to solve issues related to the formation of a healthy lifestyle and have to get the necessary information on their own. The majority (77.8±2.1%) of respondents believe that school teachers can conduct conversations with schoolchildren on the formation of a healthy lifestyle and the prevention of diseases in school-age children. Parents also pointed out that school teachers with varying frequency already conduct conversations with students on the formation of a healthy lifestyle and the prevention of diseases in children. When analyzing the results of a sociological study of teachers, it was revealed that the majority (80.6±2.0%) of respondents consider it appropriate to conduct work with the population on the formation of a healthy lifestyle. More than half (54.8±2.5%) of the respondents consider it appropriate to receive training on healthy lifestyle issues in the future, and 19.5±2.0% - at the first opportunity.

The paper considers the reasons for the educational system reform in the late 1950s, which began with the adoption of the law Strengthening the connection of school with life and further development of the national educational system in the USSR. The main propositions of the secondary school reform included labor polytechnic schools establishments where students were supposed to get profession along with the study of general education subjects. The period of study at a secondary school was supposed to be three years (grades 9, 10, 11). Schools and industrial enterprises where industrial training was to take place were not ready to organize industrial training. Despite the extensive campaign, the perception of the reform in society was controversial. The reform did not achieve its main goal - schools could not carry out pre-professional education of students.
