Development of mechanisms for regulating the educational process by students of higher educational institutions

Introduction. Currently, civil passivity, unwillingness to bear responsibility, is very common among students of higher educational institutions. Creating conditions for the active life of students is a complex problem, the solution of which depends on the efficiency of the enterprises of the region and the country. The education of the norms of collective life in young specialists, the development of civil and social responsibility is an important and urgent task. The purpose of the study: to develop measures to improve educational work with students of technical universities by creating conditions for their active life in accordance with the purpose and objectives of the approximate work program of education recommended by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. Materials and methods. The analysis of scientific sources in the field of education, organization of student self-government, improvement of student satisfaction is applied. The study analyzed the results of the questionnaire survey of 947 students of Perm National Research Polytechnic University. Methods of mathematical statistics: t-Student test for independent samples. The results of the study. Stated the facts of unsatisfactory consideration of the opinion of students, as well as the imperfection of the existing mechanisms of student self-government and regulation of the educational process. The identified comments and suggestions of students regarding the organization of the university's work remain mostly in self-examination reports, which was confirmed when comparing data on student satisfaction for 2019 and 2020, no significant differences were found according to the Student's criterion (p > 0.1). The practical significance lies in identifying the points of growth of higher educational institutions in terms of improving educational work. The results of the study can be useful and applicable for creating conditions for the active life of students in other universities of the country. In the future, it is planned to repeat the research in order to evaluate the recommendations.

World Literature and Translation in Persian Literature Textbooks

Persian literature textbooks, designed, compiled, and distributed by a state bureau run by the Ministry of Education, Organization for Educational Research and Planning, also have sections on the theory and practice of translating world literature. The current study deals with those passages, how they are represented and how they are consequently interpreted in the light of Venuti’s conceptualization of domesticating and foreignizing translation. It is aimed to understand the status, significance, and visibility of translators in the corpus under study. The results of content analysis for the five high school literature textbooks (grades 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12) indicate a strong sense of domestication and appropriation by the compilers of the textbooks. The following strategies are recognized to have the largest share in the textbooks: no mention of the name of the translator, Iranization, and appropriation. The strategies are followed by samples for each theme. The paper concludes that the polyphonic world promised to be achieved by studying foreign and world literature is not, therefore, attained in such a context, as the emphasis is ultimately on the target ideologies and worldviews. The study also sheds doubt on the assumption that domestication is confined to the so-called imperialistic cultures like the Anglo-American.

PRIVATE PRESCHOOL EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO STATE INSTITUTIONS FOR EDUCATIONAL TRAINING OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

It is noted that the development of a progressive society is dynamic, with a tendency to constantly accelerate, complicate and change, so the integration of Ukraine into the international educational space is the main task of Ukrainian education in general and preschool education in particular. Preschool education is not only a system of knowledge for its transmission to the younger generation, but also the most important means of creating a successful future for all mankind, and the key goal of education is a mature and educated person. It is noted that private preschools can become an effective alternative to public kindergartens only if the requirements set out in the State Standard for Preschool Education are met. The current state of the network of preschool educational institutions (PEI) of different types and forms of ownership (public, municipal, private, corporate, family) is analysed and regional indicators of the end of 2020 – beginning of 2021 are taken into account. It is determined that private and corporate PEI can help to solve national problems with groups overcrowding, low quality of educational and developmental environment organization (subject-spatial, psychological-didactic, social-communication and motivational-cognitive components), inclusive education organization, implementation of ideas of the best international experience, insufficient number of PEI in Ukraine.

The model of transition to dual pedagogical education in higher education

Introduction. Dual education is an integrative characteristic of practiceoriented education system. Dual education implies practical training on the basis of employing organizations. The authors did not aim to develop a model of dual teacher education as a whole. The aim of the article is to study the experience and describe the model of transition to dual pedagogical education through networking of educational organizations of different levels. Materials and methods: theoretical (analysis of scientific- methodological and normative-advisory literature, study of experience of higher educational institutions), empirical (observation). As a result, the necessity of introducing dual education in higher education was studied and theoretically substantiated; the principles and requirements of transition to dual pedagogical education were identified; the recommendations on updating the content of work programs from the position of increasing the proportion of practical activity of students in employing organizations were developed. The organization of dual education implies social and professional cooperation of regional authorities, specialized organizations and higher education organization. In addition to serious structural changes in the regulatory and legal field, documentation accompanying the implementation of the educational process, dual education implies the development of financial mechanisms of students' remuneration. The author does not touch upon the financial side of the issue in question, it is about the model of transition to the duality of pedagogical education. The content of methodological disciplines is mastered by students on the basis of the employing organization. Cooperation agreements are signed: with the representative of the employer, student and higher education organization, which stipulate the rights and responsibilities of all parties. Each student is assigned a teacher-mentor, who introduces the student to the corporate culture of the profile organization, provides the acquisition of professional skills, participates in the assessment of learning outcomes. Conclusions. To organize the transition stage of dual training it is necessary to review the content of practical classes, to determine the responsibilities of a teacher-mentor, to build a system of career guidance work with high school students.

Formation of Ecological Culture Among Students of General Education Organizations in the Field of Solid Municipal Waste Management

The problem of handling solid municipal waste, which is formed during the life of a modern person, is becoming more and more urgent every day. The growth of consumption in modern society entails an increase in the formation of waste, which must no longer be stored, but subjected to recycling or recycling for further use. The solution of this problem, in addition to the technical and organizational component, is possible by forming a culture of solid municipal waste management (hereinafter MSW) among the population, that is, the formation of an ecological culture. The article describes the implementation of the social project “Organization of environmental education and formation of environmental culture of the younger generation in the field of solid municipal waste management” of the Transbaikal State University. During the implementation of the project, the level of environmental culture of schoolchildren was studied by testing in accordance with age. The developed educational and educational program, which includes a set of measures for training and environmental education of general education organization students, helped to motivate them to properly handle waste and form a responsible attitude to nature. Diagnostics formation level of the ecological culture of the younger generation allowed us to state the presence of a problem, namely, the insufficient (low and average) formation level of the ecological culture of general education organization students. Environmental classes and actions allowed students to form an idea of the problems of waste disposal, as well as their understanding of the need for separate collection and recycling of waste. Environmental education of the younger generation has changed their attitude to the problem of separate waste collection and contributed to the formation of environmental consciousness. Keywords: environmental education, environmental culture, younger generation, municipal solid waste, waste management

The effectiveness of functional training on static balance, dynamic balance and flexibility of females with intellectual disability

Background: Children with intellectual disability (ID) have less balance and flexibility than typically developing peers. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of functional training on static balance, dynamic balance and flexibility of female students with intellectual disability. Material/Methods: The research method was pre-test – post-test with a control group. The statistical population consisted of all female students with ID in elementary school of Shiraz studying under the auspices of the Special Education Organization in 2018–2019. The participants included 30 female students with ID selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to the experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. The experimental group received functional training for 15 sessions, while the control group did not receive any intervention. The Single leg stance test was used for measuring static balance; the Tandem gait test was used for measuring dynamic balance, and the Sit and Reach test was used for measuring flexibility. The collected data were analyzed using ANCOVA. Results: The results showed that functional training had a significant effect on static and dynamic balance and flexibility of female students with intellectual disability (p<0.05). Conclusions: It is recommended that functional training be given special attention by educators, teachers and child education experts.

DOES DEMOGRAPHICS MATTER IN LIFELONG LEARNING? A RESEARCH CONTEXT OF VIETNAM

Objective: Lifelong learning (LLL) has lately attracted significant attention from the society in general, universities and corporations in particular. For the case of Vietnam, the Government has pledged to create a Lifelong Learning Society. A number of initiatives have been launched to help achieve this goal, including the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization Centre for Lifelong Learning (SEAMEO CELLL) and "Book Day", a day dedicated to encouraging reading and raising awareness of its importance in the development of knowledge and skills. Lifelong learning (LLL) programs are also being adopted at libraries, museums, cultural centers, and clubs in Vietnam. In addition to the effort done by the Vietnamese government, a number of non-governmental, non-profit organizations and educational institutions have started to take action to encourage literacy and lifelong learning. It can be said that education and educational reforms are always the top concern of each country. This study is to investigate about lifelong learning of community with 4 aspects: (1) Learning Competencies; (2) Learning Contexts; (3) Learning Contents and (4) Learning Goals as well as examining the differences in the opinion about lifelong learning between categorical variables. The second purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between an individual's perspective on lifelong learning and their actual learning capacity, as well as learning motive. Methods: The paper deploys primary data collecting from 270 people in different sectors and different occupations. Standard statistical techniques such as mean analysis, OLS multivariable analysis are used to find the answer for proposed hypotheses. Results: Using a sample of 270 respondents varying in age, gender, and employment status, the authors found that there are differences on the attitudes towards lifelong learning, the motivations and skills needed for this “journey”. Conclusion: From the findings, researchers proposed recommendations to promoting and fostering lifelong learning of community with the case of Vietnam.
