Video Recordings

Video lessons are one of the main teaching resources in distance learning, representing video recordings of educational content. In the conditions of forced transfer of schools to distance learning in an emergency regime, teachers had to face this challenge, without regard to their degree of readiness to develop digital educational resources. The paper describes various features of video lessons, the professional skills that teachers must demonstrate, criteria for evaluating digital educational resources. Some aspects related to the quality of video lessons, placed in the public domain and intended for students and teachers in pre-university education are discussed.

In recent years, distance learning has been increasingly involved in university education by the Ministry of Education. The impetus for a new round of introduction of this form of education was given by the pandemic, which determined the need for self-isolation, when distance learning forms are becoming the only possible ones. But at the same time, a number of problems arise: the lack of proper real communication of young people, including with teachers, the weakening of the functions of critical thinking and the culture of discrimination, the strengthening of individualism, a sharp increase in physical inactivity. All this deforms the human body and removes it from a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, in the development and implementation of distance technologies, especially in the discipline “Physical culture”, which requires real permanent physical culture and health-improving practices under the supervision of a teacher and trainer, it is necessary to preserve the principle of the quality of education even in conditions of distance learning.

Professional Title

The title “interpreter” is not a professional title in Norway; Norwegian legislation only applies to “sworn interpreters” authorized by the Directorate of Integration and Diversity (IMDi). The interpreter authorization scheme is one of the steps that have been taken to guarantee the quality of the interpreters and their services. Another step has been the creation of the National Register of Interpreters, which provides the public with access to qualified interpreters. However, the register is not flawless and may exclude well-qualified interpreters. The register has five qualification categories with different sets of requirements; the only problem is that the interpreter’s access to the different courses that enables the interpreter to enter the register is limited. This problem could be remedied easily by means of the official exams for the grant of the title ”sworn interpreter”, but regretfully the exams, as well as the necessary courses to advance from category to category in the register, are not available in all language combinations or on a frequent basis. The distinction between an “interpreter” and a “sworn interpreter” may not be the quality, as much as the professional title and having access to education. In this context, the importance of licensing or professionalization linked to the phenomenon of trust becomes evident. The foreign and native speaker have to communicate through an interpreter, they need to trust the interpreter in order to get their message through, but why anyone should do that without a guarantee that the interpreter is qualified is another question. Mainly non-professional interpreters perform interpretation in the public sector and several studies show that the interpreters lack linguistic and professional skills to do their job satisfactory. This problem should not be ignored, but rather properly addressed by establishing a professional graduate degree to ensure the quality of the interpreter and consolidate the status of the interpreter as a professional in the public sector in Norway. However, this is only one side of the problem, it is also necessary to promote and ensure the use of qualified labour in the public sector.

In modern conditions of reforming the system of higher education, the introduction of time-based blended and distance learning, the mission of higher education is to ensure the efficiency and quality of university education. Therefore, the problem of using blended and distance learning technologies becomes relevant, which, taking into account the peculiarities of the conduct, should ensure the quality of educational services for students. Blended learning is defined as a hybrid of traditional face-to-face and online learning so that instruction occurs both in the classroom and online, and where the online component becomes a natural extension of traditional classroom learning. The article highlights the peculiarities of the introduction of mixed and distance learning at the university, analyzes and clarifies the essence and content of the concepts of « blended learning», «distance learning», identifies the main approaches, methodical principles underlying the organization of the educational process, the priority tasks and advantages of the introduced forms of education are singled out, the tendencies of their development are outlined, in particular in modern conditions. The methods, organizational forms and means used during blended and distance learning are described, specific examples of their introduction at Kyiv International University are given, as well as the schematic structure of the methodical system of the proposed forms of education that ensure the quality of university education. It is proved that blended and distance learning solves the problems of individualization, intensification and optimization of education, is the most effective evolution of the traditional model of learning7

AbstractThis paper follows collegiality, demonstrating how, as a central value of medically trained coroners, it can shape the content of death investigations and certificates. Drawing on ethnographic evidence from a 16-month-long study of the Office of the Chief Coroner (OCC) of Ontario, Canada, I argue that collegiality is an instrument of trust that both affords investigators tremendous access to information, and severely limits the flow of that information into the public domain that the OCC serves. The paper focuses on in-care death investigations, which are those where the OCC's medically qualified coroners find themselves investigating the quality of care delivered by professional colleagues. I show how professional expertise, experience and collegial values often combine to see instances of poor or even incompetent care dealt with privately (rather than publicly) or referred up the medical (rather than public safety) hierarchy. The burden of my argument is that collegial deference to the autonomy and skills of other physicians tends to see coroners expurgate the death certificates they produce. These expurgations obscure competence issues from public view and reduce the accuracy of the certificates. I close with a discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of medically qualified death investigators, as well as potential adjustments to improve the accuracy of in-care death investigations and certifications.

Statement of the problem. The variety of new models, forms and methods of organizing school lessons in the context of ICT actualizes the problem of finding objective and affordable ways to assess the quality of a modern lesson. The purpose of the article is to substantiate an expert-criteria approach to assessment of the quality of lessons, which use elements of e-learning and distance educational technologies. The idea of ​​designing a methodology for assessing the quality of lessons is to create expert questionnaires that include weighted criteria quality indicators, as well as questionnaires and test materials. Research methodology is the analysis and synthesis of regulatory documents of basic general education, research works of Russian and foreign scientists, experience in teaching students computer science at different levels of general education. Research results. The paper proposes and substantiates an expert-criteria procedural scheme for evaluating the quality of modern lessons that use elements of e-learning and distance learning technologies. The method of assessing the quality of lessons consists in creating expert questionnaires that include weight criteria for quality, as well as questionnaire and test materials. Conclusion. Currently, the performance of testing of test tasks for evaluating each type of educational results (personal, subject, and meta-subject) is being tested and a pedagogical experiment is being carried out in Secondary School No. 9 of Krasnoyarsk to conduct lessons in Computer Science of four types: 1) without the use of the digital educational resources (DER); 2) with partial use of the DER; 3) with long-term use of the DER; 4) mega-lessons (the use of the DER throughout the lesson). The procedural scheme for collecting and processing expert indicators is formalized and provides for the possibility of automating statistical data processing and subsequent improvement of criteria based on the “constructor” principle. The proposed method can be used by school administrations to make decisions on the management of the educational process.

Introduction. Existing practice in the realization of projects in educational, as part of the practical training of software developers, are based  in cooperation with using a specific programming language and the corresponding development environment (IDE), that binds the user to a specific workplace. However, high activity and mobility of stakeholders, who in the process of solving personal affairs and solving their own interests do not having enough time for individual training, which is a catalyst for processes reducing the quality of a product of an educational project. So, if young people spend much time on electronic devices such as mobile phones with permanent access to the Internet, the implementation of some components of the specified educational project should be organized with the possibility of mobile access to educational content. Due to the use of distance learning in education the opportunity to acquire professional competencies using, for example, virtual learning environments. These modules can function either as components of the learning process or as the basis for instruction. Most distance learning platform allows you to implement the processes of forming practical skills through the performance of test, practical or interactive tasks, etc. However, the platform for distance learning (besides additionally installed plugins) does not provide the ability to improve practical programming skills without the use of the IDE and the operating system, which causes the stakeholder to be attached to the workplace equipped with a personal computer. Due to the difficulty of the mentioned component of the educational project, there is a need for the development of a fundamentally new technology of mobile access to the practical component of educational content and the exploration of its effectiveness. So, analyzing a problem can install, that world practice has many proven technologies for expanding the functionality of distance learning platforms and activating stakeholders of educational projects in the process of acquiring practical programming skills. However, all of the above technologies do not allow mobile access to educational content, conditionally linking the stakeholder to a specific workplace with an IDE, or a plug-in in the form of an on-line (virtual) development environment. Aim. The aim of the study was to develop the fundamentally new technology for the formation  quality  product of the educational project preparative of software developers, which is to streamline the unstructured code of the program with the possibility of mobile access to educational content and study the effectiveness of the integration processes of the proposed technology in the definitions educational projects. Methods. The processing of experimental  data  was carried out using of  the method of field observation and   mathematical statistics. Results. The article outlines the problem of organizing mobile access to the practical component of educational content in educational projects for the training of programmer engineers. To solve the above problem, a conceptually new technology of forming the product quality of an educational project is proposed, which is to streamline the unstructured code of the program with the possibility of mobile access to educational content. The essence of technology is the integration of additional components into the educational environment, which consist in the use of the developed mobile application by stakeholders of the project. In the second part of the work, the study of the effectiveness of the declared technology of forming the quality of a product of an educational project was conducted through its introduction into the educational environment and monitoring of changes in the quality index. On the basis of observation results, using well-known methods of mathematical statistics, the forecast of the probable quality of the product of an educational project was carried out, provided the classical and innovative approach to the process of its formation. Conclusions. According to the results of the work we can draw the following conclusions: Through the development of a cross-platform application using the C # programming language, was created a conceptually new technology of formation quality of product of educational project for training engineer-programmers, which is to streamline the unstructured code of the program with the possibility of mobile access to educational content.                 2. According to the results of field observations, Using the well-known methods of mathematical statistics, a study was made of the effectiveness of the innovative technology of forming the product quality of educational project of training engineer-programmers, which indicates the expediency of the development of scientific direction and the integration of the proposed technology into the educational environment of the Lviv State University of Life Safety.

Paying for university education has been one of the most acute and politically fraught challenges in public policy. Both the Blair government and the Coalition had some of their smallest Parliamentary majorities for votes on this issue, such are the emotions it arouses. It sparked violent protests in November 2010 and was seen as one of the issues boosting support for Jeremy Corbyn in the General Election of June 2017. It touches such a raw nerve because people worry that we are imposing costs on the younger generation which previous generations of young people did not have to bear. Having written a book myself about the importance of fairness between the generations I well understand why this matters so much. One can only tackle this anxiety if the new way of funding higher education is better for the younger generation than any likely alternative. When I was Opposition spokesman before 2010 I said that the test of any changes we brought in would be if they were in the interests of students and that is the test I tried to apply throughout my time as minister. Through the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s higher education faced persistent financial crises. Higher education was one of the public services facing particularly rapid growth of demand. For the amount of public spending per student to be maintained there would have to be very large increases in total public spending on higher education. Expecting such big increases in spending for any programme was difficult enough. But at the same time higher education was not a political priority. Indeed this view was reinforced by universities. I would encounter protesters on university campuses demanding free higher education whilst inside the university’s own social scientists repeated the conventional wisdom that it was the early years that really mattered and the Vice Chancellor told me he could not do any better on access for disadvantaged students unless schools improved and that should be the priority. Moreover, as it is usually the quality of its research that makes a university’s reputation, pressures to maintain research funding were greater than for teaching.
