Лингвокогнитивни, интеркултурни и социолингвистични особености на немските лексикални единици, съдържащи суфиксоида -weise

Author(s): Elena Nikolova-Kiskinova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2022

The focus of the present study is on the lexical units containing the -weise suffixoid, presented in a broader extralinguistic aspect. The category unites two subgroups: on the one hand words meaning an objective characteristic of what is happening in the sentence, and on the other – words expressing the subjective attitude of the speaker to the content of the sentence. The word forms from the second subgroup modify the meaning of the whole sentence and are characterized by emphasized communicative significance, emotional saturation, subjective nuance and motivation. Emphasis is placed on the interdisciplinary directions: linguo cognitive, culturological and sociolinguistic, in order to make the most of the opportunities they offer to supplement and deepen the semantic analysis of the studied words and the specifics of their use. The article summarizes the results of a survey conducted both among native speakers and among learners of German as a foreign language in different linguistic and cultural environments, taking into account their reactions based on language sense in the same communicative situation. The analysis unequivocally confirms our understanding that as an integral part of cognition, language reflects the interaction between communicative and socio-cultural factors. Based on the established regularities, a concept should be developed to help students learning German as a foreign language in mastering and using the studied lexical units.

INVESTIGATING DIGITAL EQUITY IN DISTANCE EDUCATION IN SAUDI ARABIA DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Author(s): Reima Al-Jarf / Language(s): English Issue: 01/2021

Due to the COVID -19 Pandemic, there was a sudden shift from face-to-face to distance education in all schools and universities in Saudi Arabia (SA) starting March 2020. Many instructors and students were not technically prepared for this abrupt transition as some did not have devices and Internet access. On the other hand, some households have high-speed Internet and even a device for each child. This study investigates the digital equity in accessing online courses by students in low-income families, orphanages, and remote areas. A sample of school and university teachers and students from different regions in SA was interviewed. The subjects reported that lack of devices/Internet access was overcome by: (i) Governorates donating thousands of tablets to disadvantaged students; (ii) charity organizations and affluent individuals donate tablets/laptops and financial aid; (iii) some school teachers collect money to buy tablets for needy students; (iv) students who do not have devices and/or Internet go to school few times a week and meet with teachers face-to-face to teach them and help them with homework; (v) needy college students are allowed to use devices and Internet at their college computer laps or library; (vi) some underprivileged students reported borrowing a smart phone/laptop from relatives or neighbours and/or use relatives and neighbours’ Internet; (vii) Saudi mobile companies offer special Internet packages for students and teachers. Sample regions, types of disadvantaged students and help provided to bridge the digital and distance education gap in SA during COVID -19 are given in detail.

Родителски тренинг, специфициран на базата възраст на детето

Author(s): Teodora Stoycheva Stoeva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

The article addresses the issue of parenting training related to improving parenting skills and reducing ineffective parenting practices. Based on a study of parenting styles leading to emotional and behavioral disorders in children and adolescents, recommendations are made for educating parents based on the age of their children. For children, the results show that emotional neglect, overt rejection, authoritarianism, and punishment are important for the onset of emotional and behavioral disorders. This determines the need for parents to apply supportive and guiding strategies in their behavior towards their children. For adolescence, the results show that authoritarianism, punishment, lack of empathy, and lack of cooperation are important for the emergence of emotional and behavioral problems. This determines the need for the parent to effectively implement not only the supportive and guiding strategy, but also the cooperation strategy. The article also addresses the issue of individual counseling of the parent, which aims to activate his reflexive ego and develop a meta-position regarding the deep roots of his own behavior.

Two-tier Model of Training Future Teachers for Coaching at Out-of-School Institutions

Author(s): Borys Savchuk,Tetyana Pantyuk,Natalia Sultanova,Halyna Bilavych,Mykola Pantyuk / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

The article presents a two-tier model of training future teachers for work in out-of-school educational institutions based on coaching. Its essence is that at the first level, the future teachers master the theoretical and methodological foundations of coaching both with the help of university teachers and independently, and at the second stage, they, first with the teachers’ support and then independently, organize training based on coaching in out-of-school training institutions and thus in the process of working with children develop their professional competencies. For theoretical justification and practical verification of this model effectiveness, a pedagogical experiment was organized at the Carpathian National University, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine. During its conduct, the prognostic tools developed by the authors of this study to determine the level of students' readiness for self-development and the coaching methodology of pedagogical training were tested. Based on the results of the research and the experiment, the effectiveness of the presented model and the feasibility of its use in the work of general educational, out-of-school and higher education institutions are substantiated.

University Learning Outcomes: Statement of the Issue within the Theory of Ill-Posed Problems

Author(s): Alma Turganbayeva,Maktagali Bektemessov,Marina Skiba / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

The article discusses the problem of determining the learning outcomes for educational programs of the university, including at the program level and the level of individual disciplines included in the program. The goal is to substantiate the understanding of the definition of learning outcomes at a university as an inverse ill-posed problem within the framework of the theory of ill-posed problems, which will allow further reengineering of the educational process at a university based on models of inverse and ill-posed problems. The article identifies the types of uncertainty inherent in education, which affect the possibility of an incorrect decision. The publication substantiates a new understanding of the educational process focused on learning outcomes at a university, as a process of finding a solution to an inverse incorrect problem. In this case, the learning outcomes formulated for a specific educational program are considered as an available solution to the inverse problem. The research carried out by the authors made it possible to construct a mathematical model of the educational process at the university and identify its components. The authors demonstrate that the optimal way to design the educational process is to design it as an inverse problem, and the list of disciplines, their content and the corresponding learning outcomes are determined and developed at subsequent stages, focusing on the goals of the program.

Author(s): Erika Juhošová / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2022

Slovak school system has undergone a process of transformation from a centralist, social and unified school system to a democratic, diversified and humanistic school system. Based on the nature of ethical education, we believe that it creates a suitable space for the implementation of experiential forms and methods of education. Concerning ethical education, it applies more than in other subjects that the primary thing is not the amount of knowledge, but a direct reflection and the inner acquisition of attitudes for practical life.

Modular-Cybernetic Approach for Development of Digital Competence of Students – Future Teachers

Author(s): Nikolay Tsankov,Ivo Damyanov / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2022

The present research aims to investigate opportunities for the development of digital competence of future teachers through the application of a modular-cybernetic approach and a technological variant developed on its basis. The experimental research focuses on diagnosing the cognitive and practical achievements of students in order to identify the possibilities and limitations of the modular-cybernetic approach in the development of digital competence. The empirical research was conducted with a group of 86 students admitted to study Bachelor's degree in the professional field of Pedagogy. The system of criteria and indicators in the course of the empirical research is used as a “core of the competence” with an emphasis on the cognitive and practical achievements. The Wilcoxon's Test (Wicoxon) is utilized to compare correlating groups. The results of the Wicoxon application show that the modular-cybernetic approach for the development of students' competence has a greater than average impact on knowledge formation and also affects the development of cognitive skills to a small extent. On the other hand, the applied technological variant does not help the development of problem-solving skills and practical-applied skills.

Author(s): Svitlana Mykhalska,Svitlana Myronova,Maryana Buinyak / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2022

Family is the primary institution of socialization of the child, and family education is the leading factor in successful social adaptation. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of family education on the development and socialization of children with intellectual disabilities from preschool to adolescence. The article describes the methods of experimental research (observation, analysis of documents, surveys, conversations) and its results. We found out that families have a mostly positive atmosphere. However, in families raising children with intellectual disabilities, overprotection prevails, which leads to infantilism of children and lack of independence even in adolescence. Parents of schoolchildren rarely communicate with them on topics related to professions, possible employment; they do not discuss issues of married life, avoid problems of sexual and role relations. It is established that most families do not take the initiative in cooperation with specialists and only formally follow the recommendations for raising a child. We have identified factors of family upbringing that not only negatively affect the development of the child, but also complicate its socialization.

Author(s): Sevil Ivanova,Mihail Nenov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 2/2022

The study follows the process of setting up the first newly established Bulgarian public school in the 21st century and the development of an innovative educational model that addresses the challenges of personal development in the context of digital transformation and the professions of the future. The design of educational solutions takes into account the current trends in soft skills and an integrated set of knowledge aimed at identifying and solving problems in the micro- (individual) and macro (global) context of the person and community in a period of dynamic digitization and robotization of personal and social parameters and their consolidation into business intelligent systems. In solving the above-mentioned challenges we apply the PERMA model of positive psychology and present the ways in which it is realized in: Organizational structure of the school; Building the relationship between stakeholders; Integrated approach to presenting learning content; The set of hardware and software solutions that ensure the implementation of the above two indicators and position the value-based approach in the context of the digital society, expanding the parameters of personal development of professionals, students and their parents into the realms of virtual existence, adding new parameters to the established interpersonal practices and poses new challenges for the administration, training and mental (cognitive and emotional) growth of the context of augmented reality.
