2025-12-04T18:10:00+02:00

The article examines the features of preparing and implementing an adaptive test on the topic “Inequalities” within a practice-oriented adaptive technology for reviewing the school mathematics course. It is shown that the usage of an adaptive approach contributes to the development of an individual learning trajectory, taking into account students’ cognitive characteristics, learning pace, and possible learning losses. The structure of the “Inequalities” section is described, which includes six topics: linear, quadratic, rational and fractional rational, exponential, logarithmic inequalities, as well as systems of inequalities. The integration of tasks with parameters, inequalities containing the absolute value sign, and those solved graphically is substantiated within the defined six topics.
An algorithm for task coding has been developed to form a test bank that enables the automatic selection of tasks of various difficulty levels (elementary, intermediate, sufficient, and advanced) and forms (multiple choice, matching, and open-ended short-answer tasks). An example of a diagnostic test structure is presented, demonstrating the system’s ability to analyze learners’ achievement levels and to construct an individual section map. The didactic and technical advantages of using adaptive tests at the stage of review and systematization are identified, including immediate feedback, increased motivation, and student engagement.

It is noted that the results of the approbation confirm the correctness of the task selection algorithm, while also indicating the need for further expansion of the bank of combined tasks. The prospects for further research are related to the implementation of adaptive testing for other content lines of the school mathematics course, the development of profile-level tasks, and the optimization of the software to enhance the system’s autonomy and reliability

Preparation of higher education students in China to professional self-realization

2025-12-11T14:06:43+02:00

The issues related to the professional training of higher education students from the People's Republic of China for professional self-realization in market conditions are examined. The relevance and significance of the research on the professional training of Chinese higher education students for self-realization іn market conditions is driven by the need to address the contradiction between current demands for professional training and the actual state of students' readiness for professional self-realization. Modern professionals must be able to work effectively both within their own country and in the global international arena, possessing the knowledge, skills, and competencies relevant to their chosen profession and actively contributing to the development of the modern labor market. The labor market occupies a central position among other markets. It is primarily composed of two key actors: employers and employees. The latter offer their labor in exchange for remuneration, while employers create demand for labor and provide payment. Thus, like any other market, the labor market is characterized by supply, demand, and price in the form of wages. In a market economy, the labor market represents the market of hired labor, where both employers and employees are legally equal parties. Accordingly, the professional training of higher education students in China for self-realization іn market conditions is one of the most important and pressing educational challenges.

Achieving the objective of this research involved developing a comprehensive research framework and applying appropriate methods, including the analysis of scientific literature, legal and regulatory frameworks, educational and professional training programs, examination of the scientific, organizational, and methodological support for the training process, as well as conducting interviews with students and academic staff at Chinese higher education institutions. The research found that students have insufficient awareness of the essence and content of their professional training for self-realization іn market conditions, which is essential for future professional activities. Furthermore, they demonstrate a low level of understanding regarding the structural components of such training, which may negatively impact both the quality of higher education and their future professional activities

2025-12-25T12:21:47+02:00

The article substantiates the theoretical foundations of the formation of health-preserving competence in students with special educational needs. Health-preserving competence is analyzed as the ability of a student to use the system of health-preserving competencies in an appropriate situation, to be careful about their health and the health of others. Health-preserving competence is quite important for students with special educational needs, who require taking into account the specifics of their psychophysical development, the use of health-preserving measures with appropriate methods and techniques aimed at their systematic medical support and psychological and pedagogical support. Physical activity has a positive effect on the health of students with special educational needs, their cognitive and behavioral sphere, therefore the implementation of health-preserving training programs that take into account the individual capabilities of children, and the formation of their health-preserving competence is a particularly relevant issue in special education. The structure of health-preserving competence of students with SEN includes the following main components: cognitive, personal and activity. The formation of health-preserving competence involves the acquisition by students with SEN of the skills to strengthen, preserve and take care of health in everyday life. The pedagogical conditions for the formation of health-preserving competence of students with SEN are: conscious assimilation of knowledge about a healthy lifestyle; consideration of valeological knowledge in the content of education; development and implementation of an elective or integrated course of valeological orientation in the educational process; participation of students with SEN in extracurricular activities that expand their knowledge about a healthy lifestyle, increase motivation to follow health rules; use of interactive educational methods in the formation of health-preserving competence of students with SEN

2025-12-27T02:45:28+02:00

This article addresses the question of how to build effective interaction between special education teachers and the parents of a child with special educational needs, a necessary condition for psychological and pedagogical support in an inclusive educational setting. The relevance of this study lies in the reform of the education system in Ukraine, the standards of inclusive education, and the need to create effective forms of interaction among participants in the educational process. The psychological conditions that guarantee ideal cooperation between teachers and parents were analyzed. The main communication problems and ways to overcome them were identified. Particular attention is paid to the parents' psycho-emotional security as a prerequisite for their obligingness to communicate with teachers. Important features of the competency-based approach to organizing psychological and pedagogical support are revealed. This approach determines not only the support for the child but also the systematic support for the family to accept the characteristics of their child's development and formulate rational educational strategies. Several models of psychological and pedagogical support in the inclusive education system are presented, and the role of parents is discussed. It is scientifically proven that developing parental resilience is important as an adaptive resource that allows parents to interact effectively with teachers and support the child's progression. The organizational and methodological principles of support, which consider the needs of the child and their family, are clarified. The need for professional development for future teachers working with parents of children with special needs is emphasized, as is the development of their professional and specific competencies. Based on the results of the analysis, key principles were identified for building alliances between teachers and families, contributing to the optimization of the educational process and ensuring the integrity of support for the child in the various environments of their life

An assessment and analysis of students' assimilation of theoretical material and their ability to apply theoretical knowledge to solve problems of varying degrees of complexity was carried out. In order to analyze the effectiveness of the distance learning course “Organic Chemistry” in terms of individual elements, a survey of students was conducted. The diagram below shows the results of the student survey on the use of various elements of the course during independent work. The ability of students to establish a correspondence between theoretical knowledge and the ability to apply it in practice was assessed. Organizational and pedagogical conditions were identified that allow for the effective formation of professional competencies in the study of organic chemistry. The provision of effective chemistry education based on new information and educational technologies and a modern strategy for effective training of qualified personnel has been realized

Formation of worldview and value orientations of students in art colleges of prc: methodological aspect

2025-12-30T22:19:42+02:00

The article is devoted to methodological aspects of the process of forming worldview and value orientations of students in art colleges of the People's Republic of China (PRC). The current state of scientific development of the problem of forming worldview and value orientations in the art education system of the PRC is analysed. The principles of promoting the modernisation of education, including arts education, related to supporting party leadership, Chinese specificity, development priorities, serving the people, supporting reforms and innovations, the rule of law in education, and promoting coordinated progress are clarified. A comparative analysis of the formation of worldview and value orientations among students at art colleges in the PRC demonstrated the government's policy in the field of international communication, revealing the soft power and global understanding of the PRC's public diplomacy, including the system of spokespersons, the development of the PRC's image projection, national management of its development, and the possibility of influence at the global level. Problems have been identified in the integration of aesthetic and moral education, among which the lack of political support, ideological awareness, the complex process of implementation, and other factors make aesthetic and moral education incompatible. The thesaurus of the problem of forming the value formation of personality in an artistic and aesthetic educational environment is substantiated. The term ‘value-based worldview of college students’ is interpreted as a system consisting of ideas, beliefs and assessments, characterised by the attitude of students towards the fundamental values of life, moral and ethical norms, and social guidelines. Students with a developed value-based worldview are capable of understanding and interpreting their environment, influencing the behavioural stereotypes of others, making decisions and forming attitudes towards educational and cognitive activities, future professional realisation, relationships in society and cultural aspects of life. The author's vision of the methodological aspects of ensuring the effective formation of worldview and value orientations in students of art colleges in the PRC is proposed. Attention is focused, in particular, on identifying components, approaches, principles, forms, methods, and means of teaching

Military psychology in modern ukrainian historiography of the epoch of ATO (2014–2021)

2025-12-31T12:10:30+02:00

This article is devoted to the content analysis of textbooks and manuals of the epoch of ATO.

Information support for the pedagogical training of military psychologists is represented by curricula, textbooks, teaching aids, and methodological recommendations. It is worth noting that in modern Ukraine, several specialized higher education institutions are engaged in the targeted training of military psychologists. In the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the functions of military psychologists are now mostly performed by clergymen - military chaplains, imams, and rabbis. The experience of the ATO has enriched the educational materials with data from practical activities. Military psychology and military pedagogy have progressed significantly over the period 2014-2021. The adaptation of military veterans to peaceful life is currently carried out by social workers. There are not so many educational institutions that train military psychologists and military educators. Ukraine as a state needs to widely introduce the specialty of military psychologist and military teacher in military, medical and general higher educational institutions. A large number of people will have post-traumatic stress disorders and adaptation disorders. This will also pose a question to scientists at universities and research institutes. It will be necessary to prepare educational-methodological and educational-pedagogical support for the specialties of military psychology and military pedagogy. It will be important for Ukraine to take into account the experience of Azerbaijan, Syria, Israel and other countries that have experience of protracted conflicts.

After conducting a content analysis of three manuals, one textbook and one methodological recommendation, we came to the following conclusions. The manual “Psychological Resilience of a Soldier” published in 2017 by Z. Komar in collaboration with British colleagues is the best of the analyzed educational and methodological support for the disciplines “Military Psychology” and “Military Pedagogy”. Its authors widely used field material and the manual has applied value. In 2007, a manual was developed at the International Academy of Personnel Management, where the author focused on the functioning of the psyche and personality of a serviceman. The authors of the manual developed in 2020 at the Kharkiv University of Internal Affairs focused their attention on military groups and the deviant behavior of their members. It is aimed at preventing deviant behavior of servicemen. The authors of the textbook developed in 2021 at Kyiv Polytechnic Institute focused on the problems of military pedagogy. Methodological recommendations developed by the Scientific Research Center for the Humanities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, published in 2016, focus on the problems of training military psychologists and selection of military personnel based on psychological qualities. The historiography of military psychology includes the study of existing theoretical developments in the field of military psychology and military pedagogy. Military psychology studies military psychogenic disorders and methods of adapting veterans to peaceful life in the post-war period. Knowledge of the source base, and the actual legal framework that regulates the activities of military psychologists, is also important

Integration of interactive methods into the educational process for biological educational components in the conditions of online-learning in pharmaceutical higher education institutions

2026-01-06T17:58:45+02:00

The aim of the study was to analyze literature sources on the integration of interactive methods into online teaching of biological educational components in pharmaceutical higher education institutions. Determine the effectiveness of interactive methods and offer relevant recommendations for their implementation in higher education institutions.

An analysis of popular interactive methods, such as virtual laboratories, gamification, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) technologies, interactive videos and simulations, was conducted using publications in the international scientometric databases PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar and Web of Science.

According to an analysis of literary sources, it has been confirmed that the introduction of modern interactive methods increases the motivation of higher education seekers by up to 50 %, improves the mastery of educational material by up to 40 % and improves the development of practical skills. The obstacles to the integration of modern interactive methods are technical barriers, insufficient training of scientific and pedagogical staff, and limited access of higher education students to the relevant technologies.

The integration of interactive methods into the educational process for biological educational components in the context of online learning is a necessary condition for improving the quality of pharmaceutical education. The analysis of selected literature sources has shown that the introduction of modern interactive methods increases students' interest in mastering educational components and improves educational outcomes.

The study also resulted in the formation of recommendations for pharmaceutical higher education institutions in Ukraine, which are adapted for the implementation of popular and accessible platforms such as Labster, Kahoot, Moodle, and 3D Organon in the organisation of the educational process
