USING THE TECHNIQUE OF "INFECTING" INTERNAL VISIONS (VISUALIZATION) AS A BASIS FOR SUCCESSFUL TEACHER COMMUNICATION

Zaitseva Е.А., Nuzhdin A.V.

Abstract

Human society is built on communication. Everyone can speak, but not everyone can successfully speak in front of an audience. In the process of public speaking, the speaker has to solve many important tasks simultaneously: to monitor his speech content, to maintain contact with the audience, to manage his body, voice and emotions. A real speaker must know the most advanced methods of constructing speech, be able to express their thoughts clearly and build them in an exact sequence, be convincing, be able to speak concisely, impressively, figuratively. He must be able to attract attention with his appearance, his natural abilities, and the way he speaks and holds himself. For teachers, communication is not only a need and necessity, but also a tool, the main professional tool, and communication skills, knowledge of the basic provisions of the theory of communication, along with special abilities, form the basis of professional competence. The performance should be the work of art that affects the feelings of listeners and their consciousness. To this end, the performances use the technique of "infection" with internal visions (visualization), which is understood as the ability to use vivid images in speech that make the subject of speech brighter, more tangible, and more understandable to convey the idea to the listener. Drawing pictures in the minds of listeners, creating bright and living images using descriptions, metaphors, comparisons, analogies, etc., allows you to make a much greater impact on the audience.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the specifics of the organization of online education at a university. The transition to the digital economy has caused changes in the education system, in general, and in higher education, in particular. Clarifies the formulation, essence, approaches to the definition of the educational information space and media educational environment of the university. The improvement and transformation of the information space occurs due to the active development of information communication technologies. This is facilitated by the epidemiological situation in the country. The combination of these factors made it possible to consider the changes that affect the organization of the educational process at the university. The article notes that the introduction of e-learning in higher education is becoming a priority in the education system. The forced transition to the distance form made it possible to identify the specifics of the organization of online education at the university. The article presents a detailed analysis of the research results. The author notes the attitude of the respondents to the organization of online education at the university. Considers the features of the emotional and psychological state of students who are forced to acquire knowledge in a distance format. Draws attention to the positive, conscious attitude of students to self-education, noting online resources that allow increasing the effectiveness of acquired professional competencies in the learning process. It also focuses on the motivation of students and their high self-organization, which indicates their readiness for online learning. However, the article also notes the fact that respondents tend to a mixed form of education. The analysis of scientific research and the results of the survey made it possible to determine some of the positive and negative aspects of distance learning and the formation of professional competencies of students, as well as to note the need for a more detailed study of the mixed form with an adequate combination of online and offline forms of education.

NETWORK COMMUNICATION IN THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF STUDENTS: ORGANIZATION OF EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Kuznetsov A.S.

Abstract

The need to specify the types and forms of communication between the subjects of the educational process in the university is becoming acute. In the current situation and the challenges to institutions of higher education, among them - requirements for quality of training, a change in the students, the competition of universities, the implementation of the educational process in the new, rapidly changing environment; acquiring new personal current practices underutilized in education. This practice is network communication. The universality of interaction, the multiplicity, the diversity of levels, the extreme complexity of representation, put forward problems becomes important. Today, in the social world, interaction acquires special, new characteristics due to the specifics of the interacting forces. And above all, when the bearer of these forces is the person himself, the social subject acting and projecting his own actions. The research studies consider the technologies of interaction of students at different stages of professional development. Therefore, the problem of involving students in new educational and social practices on the basis of network interaction resources - resources used in everyday life-is becoming more relevant. To build an individual trajectory of professional development in the Samara region, an information and communication system "Student and Trud" is being developed, which will become a resource for networking between students and leading enterprises of the Samara region.

RESEARCH READINESS OF PRIMARY CLASS TEACHERS TO WORK WITH CHILDREN OF MIGRANTS IN THE PROCESS OF MODELING TECHNOLOGY OF PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF TEACHERS

Kuptsova M.V.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the results of a study of the readiness of primary school teachers to work with children of migrants. The presented research was undertaken in order to obtain information on the practical aspects of the work of teachers with children of migrants. Studying the readiness of teachers to work with migrant children in the space of a modern school, identifying and analyzing the range of problems they face in practice, is one of the stages in the development of technology for preparing future teachers to work with migrant children. The methodological idea of the research is the consideration of children of migrants as a special educational category of students, requiring mastery of special methods and technologies of pedagogical activity. The role of the primary school teacher in the process of including children of migrants in Russian society is highlighted. As a method of the study, a questionnaire survey of primary school teachers was used. The area of application of the results is the process of developing a technology for training future primary school teachers in the system of higher professional pedagogical education in order to form their readiness to work with children of migrants. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the current education system does not adequately meet the modern demographic situation in the context of multicultural education. Teachers play a key role in the process of social adaptation of a child from a migrant family, but the problem of forming teachers' readiness to work with children of migrants remains open. The problems and key factors identified as a result of the research in the work of teachers should be reflected in the development of technology for the professional training of primary school teachers to work with migrant children.

CALCULATION OF DISCRIMINATIVITY AND VALIDITY FOR EVALUATION OF THE QUALITY OF THE PEDAGOGICAL TEST FROM THE COURSE OF MATHEMATICS ON THE TOPIC "Ranks "

Limanova L.V., Popov N.V.

Abstract

The last twenty years the Department of Higher Mathematics and Applied Informatics of Samara State Technical University has been using tests on all chapters of the Mathematics course to control students' knowledge. To understand how objectively a particular test allows a given assessment, it is necessary to examine its quality. Many theories are devoted to this problem. This article will analyze test quality and test tasks based on classical test theory. The study consists of the following stages: compiling a control test; conducting it on a sample of students that meets all the requirements of statistical analysis; processing of this sample and calculation of basic characteristics; analysis of the resulting coefficients, which allows us to conclude whether the test under study can be used as a control of the level of knowledge of students and what changes need to be made in order to improve it. This article analyses some characteristics when examining the quality of the test on the topic "Series" of the course of mathematics, namely, discrimination and validity. To analyze the validity of the test, point biserial correlation coefficients were found - these are correlation coefficients of some task with the student's individual score. After that, the total validity coefficient was calculated. As the calculations showed, the total validity coefficient is 0.53. This is a fairly high indicator, which cannot be said about some point biserial correlation coefficients, namely, for tasks No. 2 and 9. Therefore, these tasks must either be modified or replaced by others. Analysis of the discrimination coefficients of test tasks showed that their values satisfy the requirements of experts.

PHENOMENOLOGICAL PORTRAIT OF SAMARA CHILDHOOD (BASED ON THE PROJECT "ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MODERN CHILDHOOD")

Naumova E.A.

Abstract

The article deals with problems, main directions and methods of studying modern childhood in the humanities. The phenomenon of childhood is characterized as a special sociocultural phenomenon that requires an interdisciplinary methodology for its understanding, as well as implementation of a subjective approach to study rather than a traditional object one. The peculiarity of the research based on the phenomenological approach lies in the formulation and solution of both research and project tasks. Research tasks: fixation, description and interpretation of modern childhood markers based on the material of "Samara childhood"; project tasks: creation and distribution of a methodological product - "Encyclopedia of Modern Childhood" (manuals for adults, created by children), addressed to teachers and parents. The development of the encyclopedia was carried out by the project team of Samara branch MCPU students based on a sample of 2158 Samara schoolchildren. The concept, tools and product of the project "Encyclopedia of Modern Childhood" are characterized. The structure of the empirical content served as the basis for the sections of the manual: "Childhood: associations, thoughts and more", "Growing up, adults, addressing adults", "World of childhood", applications "Incomprehensible words for adults". The interpretive part of the research is represented by a selective content analysis of concepts "childhood", "adult" based on the secondary processing of the results. The analysis of the results reveals the following conclusions: the timeless archetype of child's consciousness maintains the dichotomous opposition of the "world of adults" (boring, problematic) and the "world of children" (carefree, sunny, positive); despite intensification, informatization of the way of life and transformation of the growing environment of a modern child, the perception of childhood as a special, inimitably happy chronotope is inherent in children.

FEATURES OF THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CONTENT OF EDUCATION IN THE FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL SAFETY

Panyshev A.L., Gorina L.N.

Abstract

Presenting modern society as a super system, which includes a significant number of subsystems, we distinguish education among them. Because it is education that is designed to respond to emerging social problems, thereby promoting trends that are in demand in society. In relation to today's reality, it is education that will be a kind of bridge to a prosperous future for society. One of the most important elements of the education system is the content of education, due to the fact that it should reflect all possible needs of society. The process of forming the content of education is the most important link in the chain of stages of achieving the goal of training, regardless of the direction of training specialists. In the current situation, educational organizations try to use their best practices in this matter, while the result of this process does not always suit the future employer. Among the reasons for such situations is ignorance of the existence or lack of knowledge of the requirements of regulatory legal documents regulating activities in certain industries. As a result, the formation of training programs without taking into account these features and a decrease in the quality of education. Unfortunately, a similar situation occurs in the training of specialists in the field of industrial safety. Although, it would seem, no one needs to explain the importance of high-quality training of personnel for the operation of hazardous production facilities. First of all, the trouble-free operation of enterprises and, consequently, the state of protection of citizens depends on its competent and prompt actions.

SOCIAL COMPETENCE FORMATION AS A FACTOR OF FULL PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT OF FUTURE PENAL OFFICERS

Sevostyanova A.G.

Abstract

The article examines the process and features of social competence development of departmental universities` cadets as future penal officers. The concept of “competence-based model of personnel training” is characterized. In modern social and cultural conditions, the effectiveness of the upbringing process is associated with the creation of a developing educational environment in society as a system of conditions and opportunities for personal self-development. The organization of upbringing as a pedagogical process in a university is considered as effective not only within the framework of traditional pedagogy, based on the principles of which the process of upbringing departmental universities` cadets is a unidirectional transfer of previous samples of cultural and historical experience and the reproduction of its already "ready" values, cultural forms, norms and rules of social interaction and communication. The main educational goals of higher education in modern social and economic conditions are analyzed, which consist in the formation of social and professional competence in graduates, in the upbringing of the cadet` personality of a departmental university with the qualities of civic responsibility and patriotism, actively participating in the economic and social, cultural life of the country.

ANALYSIS OF INTERDISCIPLINARY HUMANITARIAN STUDIES (TO THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE YAROSLAVSK SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL OF CULTURALS, CREATED BY PROFESSOR Tatyana Zlotnikova)

Burlina E.Y.

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of interdisciplinary humanitarian studies and the 30th anniversary of the scientific school established by the Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, Professor, Doctor of Art History Tatyana Semenovna Zlotnikova. Yaroslavl State Pedagogical University, where the well-known Russian scientific school of cultural studies was born, is also home to the World of the Russian Province Research Center, the Dissertation Council, and several journals reviewed by the Higher Attestation Commission. Professor T.S. Zlotnikova is the founder and scientific leader of these institutions. The success of scientific work is measured today as a global scientific demand, and practical significance for its local space. Scientists from the best research centers in Russia participate in annual "Yaroslavl conferences", grant projects and publications. Yaroslavl cultural projects involve all age and professional levels: from students, undergraduates, postgraduates to doctoral students and professors. However, even with the mass audience, Professor Zlotnikova and her students are talented at building a dialogue. This article deals primarily with the methodology and publishing genres put forward by the Yaroslavl Scientific School of Cultural Studies: an analysis of the creative personality, the concept of Russian mass culture and a fundamentally new textbook on cultural studies. The publications of Professor T. S. Zlotnikova and her colleagues on these problems have a significant heuristic potential, are of high practical significance and have been awarded numerous grants. On the one hand, the 30th anniversary of the Yaroslavl scientific school of cultural studies is a phenomenon of scientific life; on the other hand, the analysis of topical problems of cultural studies based on the material of the multi-genre editions of Professor T.S. Zlotnikova is a methodological and research work.

APOPHATIC OF A DISEASE. LIFE AND DEATH ETHOSES IN THE POEM BY S. YESENIN “EVENING DREW TOGETHER ITS BLACK EYEBROWS...”

Dudareva M.A.

Abstract

Subject of the article: apophatic of a disease. The article examines how the apophatic of culture is implemented through a literary work, namely, the apophatic component of a disease phenomenon is studied. Object of the article : a later poem by S.A. Yesenin “Evening Drew Together its Black Eyebrows...” Many researchers refer to this lyric text, but consider it only in the context of the book “Tavern Moscow”. However, this poem is of particular value in the cultural-philosophical understanding of the phenomenon of disease and death in the Russian version of logocentrism. Research methodology : a holistic ontohermeneutic analysis of a literary text with the use of a semantic research method. Results : the analysis of Yesenin’s later poem, identification of its ontological meaning, ethos of life and death allow raising the issue of a disease phenomenon in poetics, which is apophatic in nature, and this requires additional culturological commentary. Drawing parallels with the Russian fairy tale, turning to its otherworldly paradigm seems productive, since Russian folklore inspired the poet’s artistic life. In the Russian fairy tale, the search for “another kingdom” presupposes the resolution of the issue of temporary death and rebirth in a new capacity. The appeal to philosophical reflections on the axiological status of a disease of the German philosopher Rudolf Steiner, whose ideas were close to the representatives of the Silver Age, is also productive, since the anthroposophist highlights the apophatic side of the disease, endowing it with meaning-generating functions.

APOPHATIC OF A FATHERLAND IN VALERY DUDAREV’S POEM “PETUSHKI - KOKHMA, FURTHER NOWHERE”

Dudareva M.A., Koltsova N.Z.

Abstract

Subject of the article : apophatic of a literary work. The article examines how the apophatic of culture, the problem of hierotopy is implemented through a literary work. Object of the article : a poem of the contemporary poet V. Dudarev “Petushki - Kokhma, Further Nowhere”, consisting of thirteen short stories. Many writers openly refer to well-known literary plots, which make their works easily recognizable. However, in modern poetry there are examples of latent organic assimilation of eternal images and plots. Undoubtedly, Dudarev refers to V. Erofeev’s poem “Moscow - Petushki”, but enters into a creative dialogue-dispute with the classic, which manifests itself at the super-textual level and is associated with the search for a fatherland, home. Research methodology : a holistic analysis of literary texts in an ontohermeneutic key with the use of a semantic research method. Results :Valery Dudarev’s poem is based on the plot of a metaphysical journey and the main character finding a small homeland, a fatherland, which is apophatic in nature, and this requires additional culturological commentary. Drawing parallels with the Russian fairy tale, turning to its otherworldly paradigm seems productive, since Russian folklore is an inexhaustible apophatic source in Russian culture.

MULTILINGUALISM OF F.M.DOSTOEVSKY’S ARTISTIC WORLD

Khalikov M.M.

Abstract

The article attempts to lay a foundation for highlighting the problem of artistically determined functioning of foreign-language elements in the narrative-text space of Dostoevsky's works as a special aspect of studying the writer's literary system. The processes of integration and interaction of languages and literary-artistic discourses are highly conditioned by the spatial-cultural interplay of countries and the dominant vector of their development, so the presence of a significant amount of material borrowed from French and German languages in the texts of Dostoevsky is quite expected to correlate with the idea of national-ideological and cultural priorities of Russian society of that time. The intensity of the creative reception of the material of other languages as one of the moments determining the individual originality of the artistic-speech semiosis, is also explained by the autobiographical factor - long stay of the writer in a foreign-speaking cultural environment and saturation of emotional-intellectual experience in the process of intercultural communication. On the basis of the study of Dostoevsky's creative heritage from this angle, it is possible to draw a conclusion about the diverse range of his use of foreign-language elements in his texts to solve artistic and narrative problems. The article analyzes the most relevant aspects of the writer's artistic and linguistic element in the application of foreign-language inserts in interaction with the material and the traditional system of expressive means of native language: the role in the construction of narrative discourse, intertextuality, reverse interference, occasional word formation, font transposition iconism. In view of the scientific and empirical significance of the problem, it seems necessary to continue its research on a broader theoretical and methodological basis, in particular - through interdisciplinary integration of the potential of linguistics and poetics.

WHAT IS THE MYTH OF OEDIPUS: TO THE QUESTION OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE PLOT

Pimonov V.I.

Abstract

Object of the article: the myth of Oedipus. Subject of the article: the structure of the Oedipus story. Purpose of research: the analysis of the specific characteristics of the story of Oedipus which distinguish it from a traditional folklore story. Research methods: methods of the structural and semantic analysis applied. Results: The author argues that the specific nature of the story of Oedipus is characterised by the “prophetic” function of the combination of two interrelated motifs: the number motif and motif of feet. Those motifs, which are conveyed in the riddle of the Sphinx by the words “four-footed”, “two-footed” and “three-footed”, semantically connect with each other the riddle, Oedipus' fate and his name (Οἰδίπους). The riddle about a creature which changes the number of its feet corresponds to 1) Oedipus' biography (he changes the number of his feet when he becomes “three-footed” - a blind man with a staff); 2) Oedipus's name (which foreshadows the answer to the riddle - “man” (alias “two-footed”) as part of the name Οἰδίπους - δίπους means “two-footed”; 3) number symbolism related to Oedipus (“three days” after Oedipus' birth his father pierced his feet and cast him upon a hillside; Oedipus killed his father where “three roads meet”). Field of application: literary studies. Conclusion: The author argues that story of Oedipus is a result of the semantic adaptation (accommodation) of a traditional folklore story to the ancient numerological riddle about a creature with a changing number of feet by adding of the imagery connected to the number motif and motif of feet. The systematic manifestation of the number motif and of motif of feet on various levels of the structure suggests that the “telling name” of Οἰδίπους (“swollen foot” and “two-footed”) has been integrated into a traditional folklore tale in order to semantically adapt it to the ancient riddle about “feet”. The author is indebted to Svetlana Gracheva, Dan Whitman and Oleg B. Zaslavsky for stimulating discussions and helpful advice.
