STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION IN DEVELOPING TRANSLATION COMPETENCE

Students’ language learning motivation is an important factor to ensure the quality of higher education in Ukraine in the context of its integration into the European Higher Education Area. The present study reveals the findings that showcase both pedagogical and psychological factors influencing students’ foreign language learning motivation in translation competence. The authors used a set of basic theoretical research methods to analyze, synthetize and classify scientific and methodological sources on the research problem; empirical methods of questionnaire surveys with direct and indirect questioning to represent learning motivational characteristics, statistical analysis to summarize the research results. Both psychological and pedagogical diagnostics of the socially heterogeneous respondents’ motivation made it possible to determine the external socio-cultural and internal self-concept motives in their self-improvement and self-regulated learning. It is established that the respondents’ external motives have arisen due to such stimulating factors as "competitive advantage in the labor market" and "career growth potential". Internal motives are mainly related to the satisfaction of a student’s personal needs in the foreign language learning (interest, awareness of the insufficient level of communicative competence, internal belief in the need for self-improvement of foreign language translation skills, etc.). Analysis of the diagnostics results provided an opportunity to distinguish the obstacles to the self-development of respondents in translation education. Experimental testing of the learning motivation within the internal and external mediation allowed to reveal the dominance of internal motives over external ones in all categories of respondents. Insufficient or low level of independent self-regulated learning has been identified as the main obstacle to self-improvement of foreign language translation competence. The paper contributes to the current understanding of translation education, especially in the context of Ukraine, by investigating factors influencing students’ learning motives and their pedagogical and theoretical implications.

CULTURAL COMPETENCE AS ONE OF THE KEY COMPETENCIES IN THE RENEWAL UKRAINIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM

The aim of the article is to specify the content of cultural competence and the expected results of its development in the context of basic secondary education. Cultural competence as the educational term was first defined in the Law “On Education” in Ukraine (2017) and in the State Standard of the Basic Secondary Education (2020) for the 5th - 12th classes1 . The article specifies the process of cultural competence attainment and the expected learning outcomes. The results of the study are formulated based on a logical-semantic analysis and structural-functional clarification of the cultural competence essence, separation of its structural components, and interpretation of the provisions of adopted Regulation documents, Standards, and Recommendations on Education Policy, as well as a reflective analysis of research results on the concept of cultural competence in national and international researches. The cultural competence of a person is manifested in the form of a core competence that allows him or her to independently understand and freely use at his or her discretion the whole range of acquired competencies and expertise in socio-cultural and general, institutional and conventional norms and regulators of behavior in mobile social communication, including in different languages. Scientific discussion of the competence concept is an up-to-date issue due to the reformation of the Ukrainian educational system, according to the world model.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSCIOUSNESS OF STUDENTS IN VSPU NAMED AFTER MYKHAILO KOTSIUBYNSKYI IN THE CONDITIONS OF QUARANTINE RESTRICTIONS

The article considers the main problems that reflect the formation of adequate environmental awareness in people, which is now such a controversial and complex process in theoretical and practical terms, especially during the pandemic COVID-19. Modern environmental problems of today take into account, by the way, the entire sphere of human social life. The aim of the article is to study the level of anxiety of signs-states in medical students in the ecological environment of the COVID-19 pandemic in the conditions of distance learning at Vinnytsia State Pedagogical University named after Mykhailo Kotsyubynsky. The study included methods such as generalization, comparison, synthesis, concretization and the following psychodiagnostic techniques: Spilberg’s State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) modified by J. Hanin, an author's questionnaire that contained 11 additional questions about online learning satisfaction. It has been empirically established that among the environmentally destructive factors that affect a person's mental health is the level of identification of the state of anxiety. The structure of pathological changes to determine the level of anxiety is dominated by mental disorders of a prenosological nature, based on a list of borderline phenomena between normal and pathology in interaction with the environment, which cause various manifestations of socio-psychological maladaptation in online learning. The conclusions indicate that the environmental friendliness of the educational environment is due to the needs of the individual in mastering the knowledge of nature and in effective coexistence with it, as well as in increasing the level of knowledge of students about the problems of its protection. The environmental education should contribute not only to the development of the course in terms of studying the discipline, but also the formation of environmental consciousness and culture of the humanistic type in order to adapt students to modern conditions.

PSYCHOLOGICAL RESOURCES OF THE PERSONALITY OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AT THE STAGE OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING

The social demands and expectations regarding the work of law enforcement agencies have never been so high as now; the surrounding society wants to see professional and humane police officers and to feel the effectiveness of their professional activities. The system of law enforcement agencies in recent years is in a state of permanent transformation, that is what aggravates the problem of quality training of its staff. It lies in the fact that, first, there are not enough applicants for the service, and second, the available candidates mostly do not fully correspond to the established decision criterion. This orients managers and practical psychologists of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find and improve the ways to support and develop staff, to keep them in the workplace; it also focuses on the realization that employees are important and have potential opportunities and resources for self-development. The professional development of law enforcement agencies usually begins in departmental higher educational institutions, which determines the relevance of the study of psychological resources of the law enforcement agency`s personality at the stage of professional training and defines the aim of the current article. The complex of theoretical and empirical search methods was used during the study, in particular the method “Psychological Narrative Analysis of Crisis / Traumatic Events” developed by V. I. Shebanova. The sample consisted of 84 future law enforcement agencies who study and serve at the Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs. The study identified the main significant events in the life and attitude of law enforcement agencies at the teaching stage in the higher educational institutions with specific conditions. It is found that they can be divided into seven categories, in which there are important events common to military students: school; training and service activities in the higher educational institutions; family; difficult life events; losses; personal relationships; etc. It is determined that the most important life events happened to military students in the life period before entering higher educational institutions, which should focus on finding resources in psychological support to the autobiographical narrative of the individual. The range of military students' psychological resources is identified, including emotional experiences of pleasant events, interaction with significant relatives, “adult” reassessment of situations and positive thinking, finding new connections and contacts, awareness of target requests and the impact of events on the future.

A SYSTEMIC APPROACH TO IMPLEMENTING PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS IN MANAGEMENT

In this work we will consider some aspects of management as a scientific and applied discipline. Ensuring the effectiveness of management requires a new way of thinking characterized by the systemic, flexible, responsive, and a non-standard approach to the decision making. According to the systemic-structural activity theory, as a scientific basis for self-regulation, human activity is considered to be a goal-directed self-regulative system. The main focus of our discussion will be on what is essential for managerial activity from the psychological perspective. Specific attention will be paid to the way managers relate to subordinates and how this factor effects the group moral and psychological atmosphere in the workplace. Possessing only the technical knowledge in a chosen field of activity does not necessarily make a person effective manager. To achieve the desired objectives and maintain people satisfaction at work place one must be prepared to think of them in human terms. People are filled with thoughts and ideas and they want to experience satisfaction from their implementation. We will present some important factors of the psychological nature which should be applied to the practice of management. Such factors as consideration for subordinates’ personality features, their individual style of performance and their communicative anilities, as well as their goals, desires and objectives. The effect of a group environment on individual performance and the phenomenon of psychological compatibility are also considered in this work. We will also briefly dwell on the history of motivation in industry and the emergence of a new direction in managerial activity as a demand of the developing society. At this juncture we will emphasize on how the science of management first emerged in a form of applying a mechanistic approach in managing people’s activities in industries and, further, by bringing the human element into consideration in the search for efficiency.

TECHNOLOGIES OF INFORMATIVE AND MANIPULATIVE INFLUENCE ON SOCIO-POLITICAL CONSCIOUSNESS AND BEHAVIOR OF MODERN YOUTH

The article presents a theoretical analysis of informative and manipulative influence on the socio-political consciousness and behavior of modern youth. The interpretation of consciousness in the psychological and political areas has been revealed, which makes it possible to consider information technologies as an important attribute of influence on political consciousness. There has been conducted the analysis of the psychological components of informative and manipulative technologies, which defined as the dominance of the spiritual state of the individual, the imposition of thoughts, ideas, attitudes, values and management of behavior in favor of the subject of influence. There has been revealed the idea that the favorable socio-political conditions encourage the media to exert influence by manipulating the political consciousness and behavior of young people. The opinion has been clarified, that the use of communication technologies, that optimize the implementation of policy actors of their tasks and responsibilities through rational means, sequence of actions, development of an appropriate algorithm of behavior, result in the implementation of human activities to achieve socially significant goals, including political one. In the context of this issue, the role of the media in the political processes of society has been revealed, where they act as a means of manipulative influence aimed at transforming the political consciousness of young people. The factors influencing the political consciousness of young people have been analyzed, where the most influential are: granting the right to edit, adding their own conjectures; distortion of information; submission of false information; being reticent about major events; being ahead of the curve. However, the main reason for the effects of informative and manipulative influence lies in the personal scope, where it is important to have the ability to think critically, to analyze, interpret, defend the point of view, have strong energy and will, to have different forms of verbal influence of optimal mechanisms of thought and actions appropriate to the situation. Methods of effective counteraction to informative and manipulative influences have been determined. The main one is the ability to distribute information in the associative space, when one constructs the absence of intersection of the discussed events by associative connection with other unrelated events. Due to effective approaches, modern youth has the opportunity to stop being a "passive mass" and become active citizens who defend their opinions, make independent decisions and form their own patterns of behavior.

PERSONALITY PSYCHOLOGY IN THE CONTEXT OF CONFLICT INTERPRITATIONS

The article analyzes the most important psychological preconditions of a conflict situation on the basis of which the strategy and tactics of people's behavior in case of differences of their interests are formed. The main psychological models of conflict are presented in the study, which is used to interpret sociotypes that highlight the psychological portrait of the individual in the perspective of modernity. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the causal dysfunctions in the implementation of conflict situations and highlight ideas for avoiding conflict demonstrated by the individual. The study used the Keirsey questionnaire to assess the temperament of participants and K. N. Thomas' methodology to determine their typical ways of responding to a conflict situation, which identified the tendency of sociotypes to rivalry and cooperation, the desire for compromise, conflict avoidance and flexibility in decision making. The article considers a concept of personality types and their interaction in the structure of interpersonal relationships. According to the methodology of D. Keirsey, which is based on the typology of Carl Jung and the theory of information metabolism of A. Kempynsky, there are 16 types of information sharing between individuals. The formation of a sensitive image of a person as an adequate information subject characterizes the problem of defining a person’s personality in a continuous flow of information, communicative perceptions, innovative competencies and different value systems. Having followed the method of K. N. Thomas that is designed to determine the typical ways of individuals’ responds to conflict situations, we determine an inclination of the above mentioned sociotypes to competition and cooperation, as well as desire to compromise and avoid conflicts, and flexibility in decision making. In the framework of the Socionic model, the subjects of information influences make adequate assessment of their potential, find appropriate ways of self-realization, competitively and objectively perceive the abilities of others in order to form a harmonious relationship with them. The problem that arises in a conflict always stands in the way of the implementation of goals, which refer to both the interests and fears of person. Barriers that work against the implementation of needs and interests in a conflict are always associated with communication, since other people’s activities are often perceived as a dissonance of individual and his/her environment. A mixture of contradictions caused by different types of experience and behavior, character traits and other factors of interpersonal interaction provide the basis of conflict. The conceptual importance of personality covers a wide range of internal mental processes that determine the features of human behavior in different situations. The objective conflict management is the only way that leads to positive dynamics in the conflict of interest, with the main criterion being the ability to compromise, based on the understanding that contradictions can give ground to the development that, in its turn, can bring about effective cooperation.
