Online courses on different platforms provide thousands of students with the knowledge and skills they need. This paper presents the results of a survey of students, during which they expressed their opinion on the use of electronic resources in teaching. The survey showed that students are more motivated to study when they understand how their knowledge will be used in their professional activities. The survey results also showed that the objectivity of knowledge control is essential. Students are usually familiar with the criteria for assessing the performance of the task. Knowing the criteria for evaluating the task itself, understanding why it is possible to get this particular number of points for completing the task will help students to approach their studies more responsibly. We analyzed the tasks that will be offered to students in the course of learning the MAXScript language. These tasks are assessed according to factors that affect their complexity and the maximum number of points that students can receive for their correct performance. The resulting complexity value can be adjusted after analyzing the scripts written and the trainees' time. This approach to assessing tasks can be applied in the study of information technology and other disciplines.

The article focuses on the professional communication of future IT professionals. It is emphasized that today, even at the household level, users of personal computers and laptops use special terminology, and sometimes specific slang, which testifies to the current speech of future IT professionals. Recently, many modern dictionaries have appeared, including dictionaries of programmers, which indicate not only terms but also interpretations of new words, sometimes a combination of Ukrainian and English word formations. The article provides examples of word terms, as well as a tabular version of the translation of words from English and the interpretation of computer terms. The most popular or most commonly used terms and concepts understood by a beginner PC were taken into account. The scientific publication reveals the peculiarities of using dictionaries for online programmers. It is pointed out that recently in the Internet space you can find links to electronic resources, which contain terms that can be used in professional communication by IT professionals. The study found that IT terminology often duplicates computer slang. This is due to the lack of self-designation of terms used in the communication of programmers or IT professionals. The study points to certain words (slang), which are most often borrowed from English. Such terms are not even translated into Ukrainian. They usually need to be memorized and used in the professional activities of a person working with information technology.

The article also considers development of a professional training cognitive map that can help design the student’s personalized educational trajectory factoring in the given parameters.

To bridge the gap between academe and industry, the study determined the highly in demand technical skills and knowledge competencies needed in psychological practice in CALABARZON. Two perspectives were considered in approaching the problem: the perspective of 44 employers or industry partners and the perspective of 120 employees who are graduates from Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in Southern Luzon State University. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative methods in gathering data. Quantitative data was analyzed through the use of weighted mean and MannWhitney U while qualitative data was analyzed based on the model of psychological competencies of the IAAP and the IUPsyS. Findings revealed that majority (21 or 52.5%) of the 40 identified as very relevant competencies fall within Cluster A which consists of psychological knowledge and skills underpinning the core competencies; ten (25%) of the identified skills and competencies fall within Cluster C which consists of professional activities competencies and nine (22.5%) fall within Cluster B which consists of professional behavior competencies. The top twelve competencies in the list consists Encourage good relations and motivations among personnel (W=2.82); Facilitate professional trainings and career development (W=2.72); Effectively communicate orally and in writing using both English and Filipino (2.70); and Recognize professional, social and ethical responsibility (both with WM=2.70); Conduct interviews; and Communicate well with clients (both with WM=2.67); Develop selection procedures, performance appraisal techniques and curricula for training programs (W=2.66); Facilitate recruitment, assessment and selection of personnel (W=2.64); Deal with complaints objectively (W=2.59); Establish and maintain rapport; Organize seminar workshops and trainings; and Conduct job performance appraisal (all with WM=2.59).

Even the best trained and most highly skilled mental health clinicians must take active steps to maintain, update, and expand their knowledge and skills. Failure to do so on an ongoing basis places one’s professional competence at risk. This chapter explains the fragile nature of competence and the steps to take to help ensure the maintenance of ongoing clinical effectiveness. Enhancing one’s competence to add new skills and to expand one’s clinical practice into new areas also is addressed. Continuing requirements for license renewal are described and placed within the broader context of each mental health practitioner’s overarching ethical obligation to provide the highest quality professional services possible. Specific recommendations for achieving this goal are provided in the hope that mental health clinicians will incorporate them into their ongoing professional activities.

Entwistle (1981) found it was possible and useful to categorize students in three categories: surface learners who want to acquire and use specific knowledge and skills, deep learners who seek a deeper coherent understanding of a field, and credential seekers who want a good diploma and will do whatever may be necessary to get it. The surface learners do not need formal distance education degree studies; they can more and more readily find just-in-time just-on-topic e-learning for a modest price. So the main clientele for distance education institutions are and will continue to be both those wanting a really deep meaningful education, and those who need really respectable credentials who also lack convenient affordable access to traditional universities. More and more it is becoming incumbent upon us to cater to the credential seekers and help to socialize them into their chosen fields, if possible converting them into people proud to be deep learners. Such socialization is not possible if all one provides is a cafeteria of online courses.
