The professional competencies pre-service geography teachers acquire in university influence their contribution to education for sustainable development (ESD) in their future school careers. We assessed pre-service geography teachers’ (n = 100) competencies and attitudes towards the official, German ESD orientation framework to determine the specific need for higher education action. The results are a high competence assessment and even higher importance assigned to the ESD-related professional competencies. In the context of ESD, pre-service teachers are most confident in their content knowledge and social and personal competencies and least confident in their pedagogical knowledge. The cross-sectional analysis shows the perceived competence level rising with the semester number and a strong positive influence of the school practice module.

The article deals with the results of research on the essence of the interpretation of the concept “research competence” in national and foreign literature. The analysis allows to state that national researchers define research competence as an integral personal quality that combines knowledge, skills, abilities and experience of the researcher; it is characterized by motivation and values of research activities. National educators distinguish cognitive, praxeological, axiological and socio-behavioural components; they consider the formation of this competence in the implementation and organization of research activities, a positive attitude towards it and awareness of its importance, regardless of whether it is performed individually or collectively. It is established that foreign researchers have a similar view on the essence of the concept “research competence”. They interpret it as a combination of skills, knowledge and attitudes with models of personal competencies, as a way to interact to achieve results and as the ability to successfully meet individual and social needs; they consider research skills fundamental to creating an evidence base of professional practice, the basis for lifelong learning and the key to innovation and knowledge transfer. The analysis of scientific literature has shown that scientists unanimously declare research competence as one of the most important; they use the concept “ability (readiness) for scientific activity” to emphasize its activity essence. It has been stated that research competence is regarded as the basis for the formation of professional competence, an important educational goal for graduates and the most important qualification of students wishing to continue their studies in a postgraduate training program. Keywords: competence; research competence; research activities; knowledge, skills and abilities; individual and social needs; professional education; scientific literacy; readiness for scientific activity.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the theoretical aspects of the influence of the organization of the humanitarian environment in a technical educational institution on improving the quality of training specialists, increasing their competitiveness in the labor market. The analysis of special literature and generalization of different points of view on the subject of research act as research methods. The humanitarian environment represents a certain content orientation of the educational system of curricula and work programs of disciplines that include the unity of material and spiritual values that are responsible for the formation of students’ personality. Each teacher considers this problem in his own way, so the points of view have their own specifics. The humanitarian environment of the university includes a specially organized training system in which a set of specially selected methods and technologies is used to «nurture» a competitive specialist with a set of not only professional, but also personal competencies. The training of specialists in a technical university has its own characteristics related to the further professional implementation of graduates. Students at the stage of training must master special competencies, develop personal qualities, be motivated to study disciplines and master new types of activities. The organization of the humanitarian environment in the organization should be implemented at all levels: university, faculty, at each specific lesson in the study of disciplines, both provided for in the curriculum and extracurricular according to the plan of educational work. For this purpose, it is necessary to maintain and control the interaction of students with all components of the educational environment of a higher educational institution using methods such as: humanitarian technologies, mentoring, organizing a positive psychological climate in the institution, introducing additional educational programs, using active and innovative teaching methods.

The article considers federal educational and professional standards for doctors’ training from a practical point of view. In contrast to algorithms, clinical guidelines and protocols for healthcare delivery, competence in the field of informing and communicating with a patient and legal representatives requires the humanitarian skills, that is, a fundamentally different methodological point of view. The ways to develop such skills in a general practitioner or a cardiologist during education are not clear. In many countries, research is being conducted on the need for doctors to master not just patient-centered skills, but specific communication skills for cardiology practice. Certain favorable results are evident, but such work is complicated by a completely different epistemological category of this kind of skills than the generally accepted biomedical one, which is usually called clinical.

Graduates of international business (IB) programs are facing a complex dynamic world in which they need both specific and generalist knowledge they can activate in socially negotiated situations. Their competencies must go beyond narrowly applying knowledge, which requires open minds, transferable social competencies, and skills for crossing multiple boundaries to serve their organizations to deal with global challenges. In order to facilitate the development of such professional and personal competencies, we established a learning laboratory, a space providing simulated opportunities in real multinational organizational structures, where students experiment with intercultural encounters while solving business challenges and reflect on their experiences to develop their managerial practices. This article introduces our instructional innovation by discussing the underlying learning framework and providing an illustration of the approach. The lab has three main learning outcomes: building conceptual knowledge, developing sociocultural practices in multinational organizations, and enhancing self-awareness and reflective competencies. At the core of the lab are a series of IB strategy challenges which students solve by organizing, managing, and leading global virtual teams (GVTs) that are formed with members from five overseas universities. We detail the alignment of our framework, review the actions and interactions that facilitate learning, and discuss learning effectiveness and implementation of the lab.

Abstract Background Problems with mobility, functioning and social participation make living independently difficult for frail older adults. To continue living independently, therapy adherence is a prerequisite. The causes for non-adherence among older adults are multiple and complex, which is why insight into older adults’ perspectives regarding their functioning is an essential factor to increase therapy adherence. This study investigates the perspectives of older adults on their functioning, social participation and health, and the factors influencing these elements. Methods We conducted a qualitative study on the older adult’s perceived functioning, social participation and health. Fourteen home-dwelling older adults suffering from chronic health issues were purposively selected. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with open-ended questions. Data were analysed following the Basic Logical Model of Abduction and Creswell’s coding method. Results Assistive devices, the older adult’s dwelling and living environment, professional and informal support, and medication are perceived as important determinants for retaining functioning and social participation. Attitude, social influence and personal effectiveness were found to influence whether a person performs or participates in an activity. A person’s attitude is related to the significance the activity has to that person, the activity’s importance, personal wellbeing, the person’s values, and their desire for autonomy. Peers and children have a social influence on the level of activity of the older person. Traditions, in particular religious activities, along with personal effectiveness are motivating factors determining whether a person performs or participates in an activity. Personal effectiveness is linked to the person’s belief in their personal competencies and to the relationship between effort and result. Finally, it appears that the type of coping strategy the older adult adopts, has an influence on their behavior. The participating older adults often used remarkable problem-focused strategies, which had a positive effect on their level of autonomy. Conclusions Older adults have identified barriers and facilitators that influence their level of functioning and social participation. These findings help to create a framework for maintaining and increasing therapy adherence, which may be helpful in facilitating occupational therapists and other healthcare professionals to detect determinants of therapy adherence.
