Independent Work

The relevance of the subject matter is determined by the fact that Ukrainian higher education institutions in a pandemic are forced to switch to combined or distance learning, but also continue providing quality training for future professionals. Accordingly, there is a need to find effective means and methods of forming the professional competences of future professionals, taking into account the realities of combined and distance learning. The purpose of the study is to analyse scientific publications, the available practical experience of organising independent work of students in the conditions of remote classes and identify ways to optimise this process. The study considers the specific features of the organisation of independent work of students during remote classes. Based on the analysis of scientific sources on the subject matter and the survey, the main shortcomings of organising independent work in higher education institutions during distance learning were identified (lack of relevant methodological skills of teachers; lack of developed algorithms for effective organisation of independent work by students in modern conditions; lack of motivation of some students to master new material). The pedagogical experiment involved 56 teachers and 241 students. Ways to solve the outlined problems were substantiated and suggested. In particular, regarding the first problem, options for organising appropriate methodological work with scientific and pedagogical staff to acquire skills of remote organisation of independent work are proposed. To solve the second problem, it was proposed to structure the independent work of students in a distance format in accordance with the approach of reverse design in learning, which is depicted schematically. To solve the third problem – ways were developed to increase motivation to perform independent work of students who unite in the professional aspect of academic disciplines. Prospects for further research include the specification of the described approach to the organisation of independent work of students on the example of the study of occupational safety disciplines in technical institutions of higher education

Career theories are developed to help make sense of the complexity of career choice and development. The intricacy of the subject matter is such that career theories most often focus on one or two aspects of the phenomenon. As such, the challenges of integrating the theories with each other, and integrating them within career practice, are not insignificant. In this chapter, an overview of the theoretical landscape is offered that illustrates how the theories align with each other to build up a comprehensive picture of career choice and development. The chapter introduces a wide range of theoretical frameworks, spanning seven decades and numerous academic disciplines, and discusses the most well-known theorists alongside less familiar names. The chapter is structured around four concepts: identity, environment, career learning, and psychological career resources. Suggestions are offered for the incorporation of theories in career practice.

The article substantiates the organization of the educational process of physical education of students of higher education institutions in the conditions of quarantine restrictions. The need for urgent adaptation of the process of physical education to the new challenges that accompany the "quarantine" training, requires solving the problems of pedagogical, methodological and organizational content of the educational process of higher education. The purpose of the study is to identify the main aspects of the organization of the educational process of physical education of students by means of remote technologies. The research is based on the use of a set of general scientific theoretical methods: analysis, synthesis, systematization, generalization. The views of researchers on this issue, set out in the latest scientific literature. The didactic potential of distance learning technologies in the formation of information educational environment of physical education of students is determined. It is established that the transition from traditionally used to multidimensional distance learning expands the use of vector information technology, opens new prospects for the development of physical education of students in higher education. The factors of organization of the educational process in the conditions of distance learning are singled out and ranked. The influence of the latter is multi-vector, which necessitates timely detection and prompt response to them to avoid them if possible. Among the advantages of organizing the educational process of physical education of students by means of distance technologies: the possibility of using leading educational technologies; increasing the efficiency of the educational process by intensifying the process of cognition and interpersonal interactive communication; development of a conscious and motivated approach to classes; the possibility of diversifying the educational process; increasing the efficiency of students' independent work; realization of the educational function of physical culture; development of the need for self-education through the mobility of knowledge and ideas; expanding and updating the role of the teacher, who must coordinate the process of physical development and improvement of students. It is proved that the introduction of new pedagogical technologies of distance learning will change the paradigm of physical education and creates the conditions for the most effective implementation of the opportunities inherent in such forms of physical education.
