Вопрос о том, в каких областях жизнедеятельности можно использовать нейротехнологии, становится все актуальнее. Появляющиеся нейротехнологии уже находят применение в медицине, маркетинге, образовании, науке. В то же время потенциал использования различных нейротехнологий в такой важной для жизни человека сфере, как профессиональная деятельность, остается практически неисследованным. The question of where to use neurotechnologies is getting more and more relevant. Emerging neurotechnologies are used in medicine, marketing, education, and scientific research.

Academic Teachers

The author notes that Ukraine's desire to integrate into the European educational space necessitates a detailed analysis and systematization of the experience of foreign countries in the professional development of research and pedagogical staff in the system of postgraduate education. The consideration of advanced training and the development of professional competencies of pedagogical and research-pedagogical workers on the experience of neighbouring Poland is actualized. Based on the scientific research of domestic and Polish scientists, the author, taking into account the distribution of professional competencies of academic teachers into four groups: scientific and professional, psychological and pedagogical, managerial and digital, analyses the Polish experience in the development of academic teachers. Theoretically, it states that Polish universities provide their professional staff with a variety of opportunities for professional growth, providing the most effective and favourable conditions for their further professional development. It also notes the importance of developing professional reflection, a creative approach to one's profession, studying and analysing not only one's own pedagogical professional activities, but also one's own educational ones. The author analyses the activities of a number of Higher Educational Establishments on the professional development of academic teachers, these are: the University of Warsaw, Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University, Pomeranian University in Slupsk, Social Academy of Sciences. Vivid examples of their activities in the development of academic workers are provided. The author comes to the conclusion that the professional development of academic teachers in Poland today takes place with the help of a variety of tools. It should be noted that the measures taken by the neighbouring country almost coincide with the work to improve the qualifications of research and pedagogical staff in modern Ukraine, however, they are implemented at a higher quality level; teachers are presented with more opportunities to improve their professional activities, Poland attracts more international specialists for the education of its specialists. Programs and grants that contribute to the scientific, research-related and, in general, professional development of education specialists are implemented. In general, in the context of globalization and European integration of educational processes, the exchange of educational experience is necessary to provide high-quality educational services.

In legal documents of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, there is emphasized the need to find ways to improve the level of professional knowledge, skills, abilities and new forms of training in educational establishments, which, in its turn, necessitates the transformation of training strategy. The need to respond to dangerous natural, human-made, anthropogenic, epidemiological and social factors requires highly qualified professionals ready to work in extreme conditions. Therefore, the importance of filling existing gaps in the theory and practice of vocational education determines the need for conceptual justification, development and testing of an improved pedagogical system of civil security professionals’ advanced training. The paper considers the theoretical foundations of the organization of advanced training of specialists in civil security, summarizes the main problems of professional development within the institutions and educational establishments. The content and features of their professional training in order to ensure the safety of people in emergencies is analyzed as well. It is found out that the readiness of civil security specialists to carry out their professional activities is an individual feature that includes professional motives, a set of special knowledge, skills and abilities of civil security professionals, which in integration ensure their ability to perform professional tasks and provide their further professional development. The author outlines the conceptual provisions for improving the advanced training of civil security professionals in institutions and educational establishments for the formation of positive motives for educational activities, the appropriate level of professional competence and approaching the ultimate goals of education. The content of the concept of specialists in civil security advanced training is determined (relevant methodological approaches, didactic principles, goals, objectives, pedagogical conditions are outlined as well). The purpose of forming the concept of advanced training of civil security specialists in postgraduate education should be directed towards the individual needs for personal and professional growth, as well as to meet the needs of the state in highly qualified and professional specialists capable of responsible performing of the job functions related to solving problems in order to ensure the safety of life and activities of people. The proposed conceptual framework helps identify the main components of the advanced training system for civil security professionals, resolving a number of contradictions, the main of which is the contradiction between the public demand for highly qualified professionals prepared for the challenges of modern society and the current training system which at present does not fully meet these requirements.

Recent Trends

This chapter is constructed as a reflective professional narrative coming from the context of public and private continuing professional development in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The authors start the text by making explicit their involvement and alignment with the rationale of Exploratory Practice, within the broader horizon of language Teacher Development (Allwright, 2001). The text establishes a theoretical dialogue with Reflective Practice, Action Research and Exploratory Action Research, considering them as recent trends in teacher education and other possible modes of Practitioner Research (Allwright & Hanks, 2009). The authors expand on Exploratory Practice as a paradigm that foregrounds inclusivity, ethics and criticality. Examples of Potentially Exploitable Pedagogic/Professional Activities (PEPAs) and Potentially Exploitable Reflexive Activities (PERAs) will be shared by showing that they result from integrating the ‘work for understanding' with regular pedagogic activities or broader educational practice.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the continuing professional development (CPD) activities undertaken by special librarians in Jamaica, their motivation, the challenges faced and the areas of interest for professional development. Design/methodology/approach Special librarians working in Jamaica were surveyed using an online questionnaire which was disseminated via e-mail. Findings The study indicates that special librarians in Jamaica were engaged in both formal and informal CPD activities. They were motivated by factors such as keeping up to date with changes in librarianship and personal satisfaction. Challenges to participating in CPD include, lack of funding, time constraints and lack of worthwhile options. Areas of interest for CPD were mainly information technology-based. Research limitations/implications The study was limited to the contact lists of the special libraries section of the Library and Information Association of Jamaica (LIAJA) and the Government Library and Information Network of the Jamaica Library and Information Network (JAMLIN). Practical implications The results have implications for the planning and implementation of continuing professional activities for Jamaica’s special librarians. It also fills a gap in library literature regarding the continuing professional activities of special librarians. Originality/value The paper is one of few studies focusing on the CPD activities of special librarians undertaken in a developing country.
