THE MAIN DIRECTIONS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES IN THE UNIVERSITY
Abstract
Introduction: student-centered learning technologies fully meet the competence approach, which is dictated by the requirements of GEF. The training in question contributes to the improvement of the quality of education and the effective formation of qualified specialists. Therefore, further development of these technologies is advisable in modern conditions. The topic that we are studying is relevant, because the process of education is dynamic and there is a need to consider new aspects of the application of student-centered teaching in higher education.
Materials and methods: work to identify the specifics of the application of student-centered technologies was carried out on the basis of electronic courses located on the Moodle platform. In the process of the study, comparison was made of training outside the electronic courses, as well as with the use of computer technology, the available pedagogical experience was summarized on this issue. By electronic technology, we mean the totality of computer tools and methods used for training. Among electronic technologies in this article, we highlight the use of the Moodle educational platform, which hosts courses with the necessary tools and materials for training.
Results: in the process of training, two groups of students were singled out. One of them was trained in the traditional way, the second group had access to the Internet and could perform tasks electronically. Considering student-centered training, we say that thanks to him the student becomes more independent, mobile and, as a result, productive. Interactive technologies, as practice shows, make it possible to intensify the process. The second group showed more coordinated work and achieved positive results earlier than the group that had access to traditional materials only.
Discussion and Conclusions : conclusions are drawn about the student-centered approach as being productive and effective for the formation of a highly qualified specialist, since it operates within the competence approach and includes problematic training, project, uses interactive technologies that allows not only to build an individual trajectory of training in the conditions of the collective, but also acquire the necessary competencies, which the graduate will be able to implement in future professional activities. The specialist will be able to solve a variety of problems with the maximum speed, applying an unconventional approach. A large share of autonomy during the course of the training allows the student to engage in goal-setting, self-improvement, reflection, so in the future professional life, these components will not cause him difficulties.
... A number of authors (Imran et al., 2016;Pathak, 2016) agree with the opinion that 'a creative person is an individual who has a high level of knowledge, has a desire for something new, original' (Mohammad et al., 2013). Using modern innovative educational technologies can contribute to the formation of competencies of pedagogical engineers (Shevchuk, 2018;Vaganova & Ilyashenko, 2018;Vyshnevsky et al., 2018). For future engineers-teachers, 'emotional intelligence' is also important. ...
... • as planning processes for the development of students' personalities (Vyshnevsky et al., 2018); • as organisational learning processes and selection of creative tasks for them; • as planning to achieve goals (Vaganova & Ilyashenko, 2018); • as a pedagogical technique (Swan et al., 2009;Yang et al., 2017); • as one of the educational principles (Myalkina et al., 2018); • as a model of learning and educational processes, which were previously called methods of teaching and education (Akaslan & Law, 2011). ...
In modern times, new means and techniques for optimising the educational process are required because one of the purposes of professional training is to increase the effectiveness of the educational process. Good‐quality professional training requires the introduction and implementation of modern educational technologies. The authors studied this, using the example of future engineers‐teachers' training, and implementation of modern educational technologies into this process was the purpose of the study. Such methods as analysis, synthesis, empirical method, concretisation, generalisation, survey and questionnaire were used. The aspects of readiness for the introduction of modern educational technologies were studied. The first condition is the readiness of university teachers to organise the process of training future engineers‐teachers with the use of modern educational technologies and their active introduction into the educational process. Another aspect is the development of individual approaches to each student with the use of modern educational technologies. Also, a desire for professional self‐improvement and self‐education should be developed in students which will contribute to successful training. The results of the study allowed to conclude that the level of students' readiness to the introduction of modern educational technologies does not fully meet societal needs.
... In psychological and pedagogical literary sources, certain aspects of the development of critical thinking are considered [17,18], it is shown that critical thinking of students is an important part of professional competence, but there is clearly not enough studies on the formation of critical thinking in the aviation field among students of flight specialties. ...
The research describes the possibilities of critical thinking, its influence on the motivation for the formation of social and professional competencies. The relevance of the research is that today the formed critical thinking affects the success of graduates, their demand among employers and is a key indicator of assessing the quality of university activities. The novelty of the research consists in the development of technology for the forming of critical thinking among students of flight specialties, proof of its effectiveness in the practice of the educational process is provided. The methods of forming critical thinking among students during the implementation of the basic discipline «Physical Culture and Sports» are considered, which provide, in addition to optimizing the psychophysiological states of students, the development of social qualities - initiative, independence, competence, the ability to think critically, which affect the motivation to achieve results not only in physical training and sports activities, but also in professional aviation training. The practical significance of the research lies in the intensification of professional and applied training of students of aviation universities, which will help any student to navigate in the future profession and will eventually give the opportunity to manage the safety of aircraft flights.
... An analytical review of the literature in this field suggests that the problem of forming a creative professional personality is complex and multidimensional. Russian researchers investigate different aspects of the independent work of students from various perspectives, such as: in the context of modern approaches to training and education (Bekoeva, 2016;Bogorodskaya et al., 2018;Kolodeznikova & Tarasov, 2016); as a means of improving the professional competence of students as future specialists (Markova et al., 2020;Vaganova & Ilyashenko, 2018); as a means of involving students in creative activity (Aksyutina, 2015;Cropley, 2008) where special attention is paid to the role and significance of the independent work in the development of students' creativity (Alexandrova & Polyakova, 2015;Dorofeeva, 2015). https://doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2021.02.02.15 Corresponding Author: Ekaterina E. Belova Selection and peer-review under responsibility of the Organizing Committee of the conference eISSN: 121 Currently, in educational institutions, there is a tendency to increase the number of hours allocated for students' independent work, which is aimed at the educational outcome. ...
... The training is arranged using conventional face-to-face weekly meetings and a learning management system (LMS). The technology is known to have a positive impact on the educational process at the university (Vaganova & Ilyashenko, 2018). However, there is some degree of reluctance among both teachers and students to use the system on a regular basis for teaching and learning. ...
... The competence-based approach focuses on such educational goals such as: -the quality of education; -learnability [8,9]; -self-determination [10]; -self-actualization; -socialization [11]; -the development of the individuality of the student [12]. Today, due to the changes in society we have indicated the needs of society and country. ...
The conditions of the modern labor market in the construction sector, the new technology in the construction industry, changes due to scientific and technological progress and the implementation of modern information technologies require special training of mid-career professionals. The society needs graduates who are ready to independent inclusion in production processes, who are able to solve life and professional tasks that they come across. It is necessary to update the content-technological support for the formation of professional competencies of future builders to a higher level because of the transition to competence-oriented training in the system of secondary vocational school. The authors have developed a model of professional competencies development to improve the training of builders within the framework of secondary vocational schools. The model can be realised in any construction college taking into account current requirements of Russian employers and the All-Russian Intersectoral Association of Employers “Russian Union of Builders” to the level of professional knowledge of a modern graduate of secondary vocational schools and training features of modern builders.
... Among the principles of the Federal State Educational Standard for Preschool Education, it is necessary to highlight first and foremost the construction of educational activities based on the individual characteristics of each child for more comfort and its development as a person and selfrealization at the next levels of education [2]. In addition, one of the main tasks of preschool education is the formation of a child in society, the cultivation of its cultural behavior [3]. This task is impossible without creating a sociocultural environment. ...
The article deals with the development of socio-cultural competencies in students of pre-school educational institutions. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, the authors reveal the essence of sociocultural competences in general and highlight their significance for pupils. Based on the fact that sociocultural competence is an integrative characteristic of a person who presupposes knowledge in various social and cultural spheres, includes the ability and willingness to interact with other people in different life ranges, the ability to use information resources for creative meaning in the information space, the authors present a study conducted over two years in a municipal budgetary pre-school educational institution kindergarten "cloud". For a full-fledged study, the article analyzes the level of formation of sociocultural competences in 2017 (before the introduction of the model) and in 2018 after its implementation. The study is carried out with the grant support for young scientists – candidates of sciences, number MK-313.2019.6, issued by the President of the Russian Federation Comparison of indicators allowed one to establish the degree of effectiveness of the proposed model. To identify the degree of formation of competencies, the authors proposed several levels: low, medium and sufficient.
The article examines modern approaches to planning academic classes in economics for students studying this subject within the framework of non-core specialties. In the modern educational context, where students have a variety of educational foundations and professional interests, it is important to develop learning approaches that will be attractive and effective for a wide range of students. The methods and strategies that make it possible to adapt materials and methods of teaching economics to the needs of students who do not have in-depth knowledge in this field are discussed. Special attention is paid to the use of interactive teaching methods, the involvement of case studies, as well as the integration of modern technologies into the educational process. The results of the study offer teachers and teachers of economics new approaches to the development of programs and organization of classes, contributing to a deeper and more effective mastering of the material by students of non-core specialties.
Introduction . The emphasis is placed on modern requirements in the development of transport industry by improving the planning of the activities of road transport enterprises in terms of indicators that determine the productivity of workers and rolling stock, which are a function of the demand for transportation. The results of the activities of road transport enterprises depend on the labour productivity of each employee performing a specific function for the implementation of a specific contract and making a profit. Materials and methods . Planning is carried out using the conceptual provisions of the current planning of the work of a trucking company, taking into account the relationship of activities and the demand for transportation, methods of probability theory and mathematical statistics, scientific principles of education and training of workers for the transport industry. Results . The application of a new approach to planning is to combine the productivity of workers and the production of rolling stock of the Motor Transport Enterprises (MTE). This made it possible to develop a mathematical model and methodology, which takes into account that the productivity of workers must ensure the receipt of the planned income for each contract and its value will be planned within the confidence limits. When planning, probabilistic events are taken into account that occur during the development of sectors of the economy of the Russian Federation and affect the need for skilled staff. Mathematical modeling is carried out in relation to the real operating conditions of cargo transportation and specific functions of employees. The number of rolling stock and the required number of employees are determined by the development of rolling stock, by the development of a specific production function by an employee in modern conditions of contractual relations. Discussion and conclusions . The results of the study are intended for the practice of road transport enterprises at the stage of determining indicators of labor productivity of workers and rolling stock.
The paper reviews the phenomenon of the pedagogical game in terms of effective organization of long-term independent work of students in educational institutions of higher education. The issue of the applicability of gaming technologies in this area still remains controversial. As a research task, the authors have attempted to assess the attitude of scientific and pedagogical workers and students to the problem of using gaming technologies in the educational process. The multivariate analysis conducted by the authors allows us to consider pedagogical games (in particular, facilitation games) as a motivating mechanism for students to work independently, provided by the curriculum of the department. It can be traced that students involved in the game process within a long-term independent activity are distinguished by a high level of self-control and self-motivation, more pronounced value-semantic attitude to education, which indicates the prospects of the game learning paradigm.
The article examines the features of designing an individual educational route at the discipline level of a professional module. After analyzing several definitions of the notion 'individual educational route', the authors derive their own definition, which they rely on throughout the work. An individual educational route is an effective order for an individual-differentiated mastering of an educational program or discipline by students, which forms a personal position, a student's opinion when choosing a learning goal, the content and methods of organizing it in conditions specially created by higher education. The description of the sequence of the development of the route is shown, the factors and conditions for its implementation are formulated. The structure of individual educational routes is reflected, various options for their development are proposed. The structure selected and analyzed components from the point of view of various authors. The authors note that the professional and personal development of students and their level of readiness for the independent choice of an individual educational route depend on the literacy of building an individual educational route. The authors conducted an experiment which showed that, thanks to such an important element, as competent pedagogical conditions allow an increase in the percentage of students' readiness. The results of the work can be used to further develop the issue of building individual educational routes at the level of the disciplines of the professional module in higher education.

Due to the necessity of implementing the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, there is a need to use electronic information in educational environment. The article considered creation of an electronic course in the context of blended learning, since this approach seems to be one of the most effective, bringing better results. The educational process in this case is based on integration and blending of traditional and e-learning technologies. Materials were placed in the electronic educational environment Moodle. Objective: to identify features of the development of an electronic course for future engineers. A training scheme how to blend traditional model and e-learning is introduced. The recommendations on the selection of educational material are provided. For the 1st year students whose major is engineering and construction control of the teacher and is extremely important. Thus, an electronic course of «Basics of Geology» was developed to combine blended learning and traditional approach. Special recommendations for creating such a course are developed. A scenario for the development of the training course consisting of several stages is proposed. We have analyzed the implementation of this course into practice.
Introduction: In Minin Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University a tutorial program for first-year students aimed at developing individual educational trajectories of students in the course of their entire education in the university is developed. Each student at the beginning of the training fills in an individual educational plan containing a list of basic disciplines and elective courses studied in the current year in the electronic environment of the university. In addition, the student plans extracurricular work. Extracurricular work is an integral component of the system of vocational education, allowing, with its effective organization, to form the general cultural, professional and professional competencies of future specialists. The article is devoted to the search for effective forms of extracurricular activity for creative self-realization of students within the framework of individual educational trajectories.

Introduction: In the article the authors address the issue of increasing the motivation to learn a foreign language; using new methods in the learning process. One of the main tasks of the 21st century is to improve the quality of education; including higher education. In addition; the Russian education must meet international standards. This means that there must be an exchange of knowledge; mobility of students and teachers; participation of students in various international projects. Unfortunately; currently developed language education programs for non-linguistic areas do not fully reflect the organization of teaching foreign languages and the role of practical realization of linguoculture as one of the main factors in the education and upbringing of students of non-linguistic specialties. To develop cognitive activity in modern education; it is necessary to use methods that would make the students interested in gaining knowledge. Currently; there are various methods of teaching foreign languages: audio-lingual; the method of "Silent Way"; the method of suggestion; methods using Internet resources (hotlist; multimedia scrapbook; trick hunt; sample sampler; web quest).Materials and methods: The study was conducted on the basis of the Faculty of Management and Social and Technical Services of Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University named after K. Minin. The study involved students from 1 to 3 courses; both in full-time and part-time studies of non-linguistic specialties. The methods of investigation were determined by the tasks of the problem being solved. We used empirical methods (questionnaire); statistical methods (qualitative and quantitative analysis of results).Results of the study: The conducted research has allowed to reveal the frequency of use of the Internet; the most popular Internet resources; the purpose of using Internet resources; the amount of time to use Internet resources; degree of interest in learning a foreign language using network resources by students of non-linguistic specialties.Discussion and conclusions: The use of network resources in the study of a foreign language by students of non-linguistic directions is one of the effective methods of teaching. The use of this method of training gives a number of advantages: students will be able to fulfill assignments in a foreign language at a time when it is convenient for them (especially for students studying by correspondence courses); stimulates students to develop cognitive activity; interaction between the teacher and students is more rapid; independent learning ceases to be passive.
Introduction: the article is devoted to the identification of the specifics of the construction of a rating plan for the academic discipline. It is shown that the rating system, implemented in the university, is not a stable developing system. One of the reasons is the discrepancy between the three documents: the program on discipline, the rating-plan and the fund of evaluation tools for the academic discipline. The article reveals the author's approach to the development of a rating-plan, evaluation criteria and a fund of valuation means as component parts of methodical support for students in the study of the academic discipline.
Materials and methods: in the article the key components of the rating system of evaluation are identified, the place of the rating-plan in the rating system of evaluation is determined, its role in establishing the connection between the program on discipline and the fund of valuation means is determined.
The results of the research : the article establishes the specificity of the rating-plan construction, describes the evaluation tools and the form of their presentation in the rating plan and the fund of valuation means , and shows how to determine the rating scale. Examples are given of the construction of the rating- plan, criteria and scales of assessment, the decomposition of competences in the passport of the fund of valuation means. Recommendations are formulated on the development of the passport of the fund of valuation means, which ensure the coordination of the discipline program, of a rating- plan and the fund of valuation means.
Discussion and conclusion : the article discusses the existing difficulties in the construction of a rating-plan and a fund of valuation means , analyzes typical errors in the selection of valuation tools, in the description of criteria and scales of assessment. The conclusion formulated in the article is that the rating-plan should be built as a mechanism for assessing the degree of competences formation, which clearly indicated the evaluation criteria and relevant indicators, scale of assessment. This mechanism should be disclosed in the fund of valuation means.
Introduction: Axiological approach is considered as the humanistic direction of philosophy of education which theoretical provisions prove the concept of development of the world and the person in the uniform system of the values; the relations; estimates and valuable orientations based on the idea of harmonization. Vocational training of future teachers in the context of axiological approach becomes a condition of familiarizing with spiritual bases and development of sociocultural professional and personal features.Materials and methods: The methodology of article is carried out on the basis of the methods of the analysis and generalization which have allowed to select the key provisions of axiological approach exerting impact on vocational training of future teachers.Results: Opening philosophical; psychology and pedagogical bases of axiological approach; authors emphasize that values as his key definition are special education which semantic context is characterized by a certain system and hierarchy of concepts and phenomena. It causes relevance of vocational training of future teachers in unity of the world outlook; professional and personal characteristics leading to development of individual and significant valuable orientations from the point of view of standards of professional ethics and to formation of own relation to fundamental professional values and installations. The conclusion is drawn that vocational training of future teachers has to reflect the cultural and valuable potential of students and develop valuable meanings of a profession due to application of specially organized methods and receptions which flexible and variable application provides the individual differentiated nature of training.Discussion and Conclusions: The covered theoretical basics of axiological approach and practical aspects influencing process of vocational training of future teachers; presented in work supplement basic provisions and a technique of continuous professional education. The perspective directions of the most efficient researches are; according to authors; justification of expediency and entering of necessary amendments into contents of working programs for the purpose of strengthening of axiological orientation of vocational training of future teachers on education levels.

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to briefly outline the relevance of flow, a core concept of positive psychology increasingly applied in leadership development and in serious gaming. The author presents an innovative simulation game designed to teach and train how to manage and lead people based on the principles of “flow-based leadership.”
Design/methodology/approach
This paper briefly describes the flow theory; it relates to leadership theory and why it is increasingly applied in the context of serious games. Then an extensive review and presentation of the features of an innovative serious gaming solution is presented to demonstrate that simulations are a fruitful area into which positive psychology and leadership science are being extended now.
Findings
Despite the growing market segment and various areas of training applications of serious games, very few games have been developed for leadership development. A detailed report presented the conceptual and practical aspects of such a new serious game.
Research limitations/implications
The author’s contribution did not focus on testing a particular framework nor did it aim at exposing new numeric data findings. Instead, the author presented an in-depth case study as an inspiration for future, similar developments. Also, research questions for future analysis of data collected during the leadership development game were outlined.
Practical implications
Readers were informed about a new, innovative serious game application, which is successfully used for leadership development, and in particular to teach the practice of flow-based management concepts.
Social implications
Flow is a concept applied in many fields of life such as sports, music, arts, recreation and work-life. The positive benefits of happiness, creativity, outstanding performance and joy can lead to a fulfilling life which is a paramount value, across all cultures globally. This leadership development game can be applied in other countries and cultures. As a result, the quality of leadership across various cultures can be improved. Researchers are invited to join the outlined new research network and program.
Originality/value
Flow theory is probably the best known concept of positive psychology across related scientific domains such as management, arts, sports, education and spirituality. Professor Csikszentmihalyi – a global figure head – laid the scholarly foundations decades ago, but now the concept is constantly evolving and being adopted into new and changing environments. This necessitates a review – such as this contribution – where the theoretical elements also apply in the new areas of application.
Introduction: The project activity in professional training of future teachers of vocational training ensures its ability to effectively solve pedagogical tasks, participate in teamwork, develop educational systems. The requirements of the future specialist's readiness for the project activity are reflected in the GEF and in the professional standard. This determines the relevance of involving future teachers of vocational training in project activities when mastering disciplines.
Materials and methods: Experimental work on involving students in the project activities was carried out in three stages. At first, they had experience of participating in different types of project activities, the second involved work on engaging in project activities, and on the third, the effectiveness of involvement in project activities was assessed. At all stages of the study, methods of observation and generalization of pedagogical experience and questioning were used.
Results: The first stage revealed the experience of participation in the project activity (the students took part in the development of the content and the project), the sources of difficulties for the students in the project activity (related to the search for ideas, practical implementation of the project and evaluation of its results) obtaining meaningful results and developing teamwork skills). At the second stage, methodical support of the project activity was developed within the framework of the discipline; experimental work in this direction was carried out. At the third stage, the trainees called the skills they perceived as new (to conduct assessment and self-evaluation of the results of the project work, to apply in ICT projects and on-line resources, etc.), indicated the existence of a strong relationship between the gained experience of the project activity and future professional activity, showed a decrease in the share of difficulties in the project work.
Discussion and Conclusions: conclusions were drawn about the significant pedagogical potential for involving learners in the project activity in the discipline, provided that the quality of the methodical study of its content and the provision of project assignments at each stage with future professional activity are provided.
The article is devoted to the subject of human-spatial environment and its effects on personality development. The author gives a deep analysis of the research methodology of this issue, that leads to an understanding of the necessity to the concept developing the experts cooperation - teachers, psychologists and designers. Thus, in the processes of interaction with the object-spatial environment there is a medium whose order is determined by the overlap of a number of structures: architectural and spatial, communication, engineering and communication, social and functional. Therefore, knowledge of the laws of change and an organization’s environment, studied the ecology, ethology, sociology, psychology, bionics and other disciplines, supports its practical transformation.
Innovation management is a subdiscipline of management that studies the rules that govern the generation, diffusion, adoption of innovation, and relationships between innovation inputs and outputs. A great number of innovative products and services depend on software. In the software industry, many small entities act as subcontractors that develop components that are later integrated into larger industrial systems. However, these small entities do not have the resources needed to support long-term R&D activities and they also lack innovation management models which makes the planning and execution of innovation management difficult. These same small enterprises face similar challenges in the software development process. However, the ISO/IEC 29110 standard provides small enterprises with a clear path in implementing a systematic software development process. The planning and execution of innovation management activities may also benefit from a similar approach. This article describes an innovation activity model suited to the characteristics of small entities whose main stream of revenue is software development. Using the existing literature, standards, and the practical experience of companies with a successful history of developing innovative software-based products, this study identifies the activities and practices that lead to the development of innovative products. Interfaces between innovation management activities, software development processes, and work products are also identified.
Why do we live in Society? Why, with the exception of the occasional hermit, do we need others to survive? What are we seeking and what do we find? What process turns our needs into satisfaction, or more precisely degrees of need into degrees of satisfaction? Can what we need and what we get be measured and compared? Can we understand the “effectiveness” of a given society in terms of these two concepts? Would this provide us with a possible approach to appraisal of society?
Drawing on the experience of training graduate students and researchers in qualitative and mixed-methods analysis since the mid-1990s, the authors reflect on the evolution of a multidisciplinary graduate course developed in a Canadian university since 2007. The hands-on/hands-off course design based on the use of NVivo was developed in parallel with a conceptual and reflexive position on methodology and multidisciplinarity in the context of an action research supported by their institution. This article exposes the four basic components of the course and the constructivist assessment model based on a term-long team analysis of original data created specifically for this purpose. The balance between collective and individual work, in-class and online exchanges, hands-on experience with the software and hands-off reflection is described and compared to recent pedagogical literature on the subject. The interest of this blended approach in fostering the development of the methodological expertise expected from researchers and graduate students, as well as the main issues and challenges facing this type of training in a research environment characterised by new approaches and tools, are discussed.
