Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Education have designated a reorientation from the subject-knowledge education model to the competency-based one, when the goal is to develop students' personal and professional features with an emphasis on their autonomous learning. Universality and generality of requirements for the results of studying the bachelor’s programme in Pedagogical Education does not exclude, but assumes the subject’s orientation of the competencies formulated when implementing specific areas of training. This requires rethinking the functionality of all components of the training system, including the contents. It is the very aspect that remains insufficiently revealed for competency-based teaching of mathematics. The vector of a significant part of studies is directed towards the search for effective educational technologies. Meanwhile, continuity in nurturing competencies requires considering professional orientation on teaching-learning the subject. Reviewing mathematical contents is also vital as the proportion of students’ autonomous learning is getting increased. The article substantiates the role and significance of mathematical contents in arranging control of students' autonomous learning. Keeping in mind the priority of control’s teaching function, it is proposed to make up tasks that contribute to assessing not only knowledge, but also experiential and motivational components of competences.

Knowledge is a concept - like gravity. You cannot see it, but you can observe its effects. Minimize knowledge is an invisible, intangible asset and cannot be directly observed. Many people and organizations do not explicitly recognize the importance of knowledge, in contrast to their more visible financial and capital assets (Pires, 2016). To measure in a proper and impartial way it is necessary to teach in an imaginative and diverse way providing students with the maximum amount of information on a given problem, by means of multiple paths (Pires, 2016). Measuring knowledge or academic performance changing the learning curves of different cognitive functions it would be something that would change completely the learning/study methods and the ways of monitoring the progression of any student. More, it would be possible to achieve individually objectives for certain cognitive functions, through a learning curve less extensive because we would focus the attention in the fundamental details (Pires, 2016). The computer analysis of the answers and self-assessment provides multidimensional scores about the subject knowledge (Hunt, 2003). As intelligent living creatures that we are, we are not isolated from the surround space. We live on it, breath from it and have influence on us in many ways. For a correct evaluation of our behavior's we need to include in the equation all the possible factors that have the condition to affect us. That is only possible if we are always connected to everything and everything is connected to us. (Chen, 2002) defines the generic metadata attributes as a tight relation of: space, time, contents persons, events and objects related between them. (Chen, 2002) also use a layer description to establish from the ground up the structure of a lesson and a course. If we can establish links between all the subjects above we will achieve the ultimate learning experience. This is the objective of this paper, demonstrate that it is possible based in a ten years research - phase I.

The chapter discusses the importance of students’ examining their motivation for becoming a music educator. As a part of this process, students learn that they must challenge what they think they already know about being a teacher and understand the purposes of public education in the United States. Effective teachers are described as having specific understandings about their subject, about students, about how to structure the subject so that their students can learn efficiently, and about the context in which they teach. Effective teachers use their specialized knowledge, much of which is learned through deliberate instructional experience, to make and assess instructional decisions. A framework for understanding teaching is presented, and a project asks students to write about their motivations to teach music.

AbstractThe main premise of the presented study is to show the impact of World War Two events on the creative achievements of selected artists who treated these dramatic events as the direct source of inspiration. The primary object of interest are selected musical pieces composed in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, analyzed at the same time from the perspective of their correspondence with other domains of art: painting, sculpture, poetry, and partly with film. The article discussed Arthur Honegger’s Second and Third Symphony, compositions: Diffrent Trains by Steve Reich, and Diaries of Hope by Zbigniew Preisner, and in the field of fine art: inter alia the painting works by Izaak Celnikier, Xawery Dunikowski, Bronisław Wojciech Linke, and Andrzej Wróblewski, selected monument sculptures (e.g. in the Majdanek Concentration Camp in Lublin), and with special emphasis on works devoted to the tragedy of the Holocaust.An important aim of the paper is to show the possibility of utilizing the presented content in interdisciplinary teaching provided for in the Ministry of National Education’s core curriculum for general education in art subjects and the subject Knowledge of Culture.

<p>Pharmaceutical chemistry is an important course in biopharmaceutical major. The subject knowledge permeates many subjects and has a strong theoretical and guiding function. However, there are still a lot of problems in the pharmaceutical chemistry experiment course and the development is not perfect, which needs to be timely reformed and innovated. This paper mainly discusses the reform of experimental teaching of pharmaceutical chemistry in biopharmaceutical major, analyzes the current situation of experimental teaching of pharmaceutical chemistry, finds out the problems and gives solutions, and proposes the corresponding reform measures. This paper explores active and effective teaching methods from the aspects of teaching modes, the laboratory, experimental materials and teaching methods, so as to improve the experimental teaching of pharmaceutical chemistry of biopharmaceutical major, improve the teaching quality and promote the cultivation of students' comprehensive ability.</p>

This study was designed to compare the subject knowledge of B.Ed graduates of formal and non-formal teacher education systems. The population of the study included all teachers from Girls High and Higher Secondary Schools both from private and public sectors from the district of Peshawar. Out of the total population, twenty schools were randomly selected from which 60 teachers from formal and 60 from non-formal system (6 teachers from each school) were randomly selected. A test was prepared and personally distributed among 120 teachers. The data were organized and analyzed through descriptive analysis. It was found that B.Ed. graduates from formal system had more subject knowledge as compared to B.Ed. graduates from non-formal teacher education system. It is recommended that the graduates as well as the teacher educators need to update their knowledge and work for continuous professional development.
