Model of Methodology for Organizing Project-based Biology Training in Non-core Institutions of Secondary Vocational Education

Biological knowledge is one of the fundamental components of a common human culture, because without knowledge of biology it is unthinkable to develop an ecological way of thinking, to ensure the perception of the scientific principles of interaction of the Man-Nature system. The formation of a healthy lifestyle, the preservation of ecosystems, and the development of mankind are based on knowledge of biology. The purpose of the article is to develop and use a model of a methodology for organizing project-based education in biology in non-core institutions of secondary vocational education. The interrelation of theoretical knowledge and practical skills is a prerequisite for increasing the level of training of future specialists in any industry. In connection with the introduction of new FSES SPE into the work of educational institutions, secondary schools are required to improve the organization of the educational process and teaching materials. The involvement of students in the implementation of various projects leads to the development and development of project competence, and its level is determined by the number and quality of developed projects. The author concludes that the formation of competencies among students at secondary schools through project activities takes place.

Family background and classroom belonging among adolescent students in Finland

We study whether a family’s economic situation and parental educational level are associated with classroom belonging among students in comprehensive secondary, upper secondary general and upper secondary vocational education in Finland. We also study whether there are educational-level differences in this possible association. We use survey data from the Finnish School Health Promotion study from 2017 (N = 114,528). We conduct random effect linear probability models with schools as the second-level grouping variable. The results show that family’s low economic situation predicts a higher probability of lack of sense of classroom belonging in Finland, despite the country having one of the world’s most equal educational systems and comparably low economic inequality. Neither mother’s nor father’s educational level has any association. A family’s low economic situation seems to predict the lack of a sense of belonging most strongly in comprehensive secondary education and most weakly in upper secondary vocational education. Our results slightly support the proposed significance of context-specific hierarchies in determining the association between economic resources and sense of belonging. A family having a poor economic situation is not reflected in the sense of classroom belonging as strongly in schools where students have a low average economic situation compared to those where students have a high average economic situation. We suggest measures, in addition to alleviating economic inequalities, to support the sense of school belonging, especially for low-income students.

VISUALIZATION OF MATHEMATICAL TRAINING CONTENT FOR FUTURE CAR DRIVERS AS A CONDITION FOR DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCES

Statement of the problem. The rapidly improving, easily accessible, well-designed and reliable digital technology transforms all spheres of life, including educational system. The expected results of the federal project “Modern school” include updating of contents and technologies of teaching general education programmes, including ones in professional educational organizations by the end of 2024. Active use of interactive sheets of mathematical content, contributing to not only intellectual and cognitive activities, but also to development of communicative skills among secondary vocational education students, is relevant. This requires that mathematics teachers should understand better the concepts of visualization of educational content and master new tool programmes for their creation and integration into the educational process. Vizualization tools can be not only maps, scale matrices, presentations, educational films, and printed workbooks, but also interactive, multimedia worksheets created on educational platforms that can be accessed from any smartphone, tablet, and computer at any time if this access is available. This individualizes educational process and develops communicative skills among future mid-level professionals, because the labor market places new demands on graduates with secondary vocational education which imply certain professional competences of future mid-level managers. The purpose of article is to determine the reasons for visualization of mathematical training material, its structure, instruments for its creation and application in the educational process. Methodology of research includes the principle of system quantization and cognitive visualization. Research results. The need to visualize training material used in mathematics classes has been identified and justified; the structure of worksheets has been presented; tools for development and use of interactive worksheets stimulating development of communicative interaction has been proposed. Conclusion. The article defines the technologies of educational content visualization as conditions for development of students’ communication competences in mathematics education. Worksheet structure has been identified and validated, digital tools for their creation and use in face-to-face and distant training in mathematics classes have been tested.

ON THE ISSUE OF INTERCULTURAL INTERACTION IN THE SYSTEM OF SECONDARY VOCATIONAL EDUCATION (on the example of Sverdlovsk region)

Intensive migration processes of the last thirty years, where the Russian Federation is an active participant, lead to a gradual change in the ethnic composition of residents in a number of Russian regions. On the basis of field research in a number of educational organizations of Sverdlovsk region in 2021 and the analysis of the situation in the field of interethnic relations, the authors substantiate the need for the formation of intercultural competence by means of education. By the population composition with the passing of time Sverdlovsk Region will eventually become even more multinational, including due to migrants from the Central Asian countries coming both to work and to obtain citizenship. The regional authorities take this aspect into account in their work with the population: there is an Advisory Council for Nationalities, dozens of public organizations representing the ethno-cultural interests of a number of diasporas and ethnic groups, large interregional public organizations dealing with interethnic interaction. The problem of adapting children and youth from families with a migration history to a non-ethnic environment deserves attention, since the level of social tension and conflict of interethnic relations in the region where they live will potentially depend on the degree of their inclusion (integration) into the Russian society as they grow up. If multicultural Yekaterinburg schools and schools of Sverdlovsk region from time to time become the subject of consideration by researchers, there are no open access scientific publications of a complex nature that would systematically characterize the situation in the field of interethnic relations in educational organizations in the region, especially at the level of secondary vocational education. The study of the ethno-cultural component representation in the education system of Sverdlovsk region is conducted, as an example, the systematic work in forming intercultural competence in Sverdlovsk Regional Medical College is examined, recommendations are given to introduce “Ethics and culture of interethnic communication” as a basic discipline into the curricula of educational organizations of secondary vocational education.

Features of the content of teaching test tasks in mathematics for students of secondary vocational education institutions

The paper discusses the possibilities of using educational mathematical content in the implementation of educational testing. Distance learning requires a significant revision of educational content. This research is based on the analysis of the accumulated experience in the implementation of training testing. An analysis was carried out in the field of improving educational content and the main directions were determined. Variants of designing the content of test tasks for students of secondary vocational education institutions are proposed, taking into account the specifics of educational activities in the specialty 15.02.07 Automation of technological processes and production (by industry). A new methodological approach to the development and testing process is proposed. The test tasks and their sequence, designed adequately to the logical structure of the educational material, contribute to the formation of systemic knowledge and ways of working with them. It is advisable to include in the content of test materials tasks that focus on building logical conclusions. These techniques and tests are carried out at the Nizhnevartovsk Oil College.
