Model of methods of forming biological picture of the world of secondary school pupils

Introduction: the problem of development of a model of methods of forming the biological picture of the world of pupils as a multicomponent and integrative expression of the complete educational process is considered in the article. It is stated that the results of the study have theoretical and practical importance for effective subject preparation of senior pupils based on acquiring of systematic and generalized knowledge about wildlife. The correspondence of the main idea of the article to the scientific profile of the journal "Integration of Education" determines the choice of the periodical for publication. Materials and methods: the results of the analysis of materials on modeling of the educational process, on specific models of the formation of a complete comprehension of the scientific picture of the world and its biological component make it possible to suggest a lack of elaboration of the aspect of pedagogical research under study. Therefore, the search for methods to overcome these gaps and to substantiate a particular model, relevant for its practical application by a teacher, is important. The study was based on the use of methods of theoretical level, including the analysis of pedagogical and methodological literature, modeling and generalized expression of the model of forming the biological picture of the world of secondary school senior pupils, which were of higher priority. Results: the use of models of organization of subject preparation of secondary school pupils takes a priority position, as they help to achieve the desired results of training, education and development. The model of methods of forming a biological picture of the world is represented as a theoretical construct in the unity of objective, substantive, procedural, diagnostic and effective blocks. Discussion and conclusions: in a generalized form the article expresses the model of methods of forming the biological picture of the world of secondary school pupils and gives a teacher the opportunity to use it in practice of subject preparation of pupils.Peer reviewe

The engaging leisure activities of an industrial town in the early 1950s

This article considers the main leisure activities of Magnitogorsk residents in the early 1950s based on their personal memories, local materials of the clerical sources, and periodicals. The analysis shows how the residents spent their free time and what emotions they had. On the one hand, the leisure options of that time (for example, going to cinemas, theaters, parks, circuses, libraries, concerts, sports sections, hobby clubs, public lectures, public readings of books, educational meetings arranged by the party, as well as organizing holidays and public events, amateur art shows, mass leisure out of town, resort holidays, etc.) were largely defined by the political regime and ideology. On the other hand, the urban community either tacitly rejected or changed those activities that turned out to be unpopular or boring. At the same time, one of the main trends supported by the Magnitogorsk residents was collectivism and publicity while engaging in a leisure activity. The latter two formed an integral part of the Soviet consciousness. Particular attention is paid to the problems faced by the city in the organization of leisure and recreational activities: the construction of cultural and entertainment venues failed to keep up with the growth of the city population; some residents were not properly educated about the value and importance of certain leisure types. The workers were tired because of their hard working shifts at the metallurgical plant and everyday life, thus many of them showed no interest in outdoor activities. It is concluded that the organization of leisure time in Magnitogorsk, which was a role model for the entire Soviet society, was essential in upholding the morale of its residents

Issues of Student Lexical Skills Development in English Classes of Secondary Professional Education with the Use of Neurolinguistic Programming in Distance Learning Environment

The article discusses the issue of development of lexical skills of secondary vocational education students in English classes with the use of elements of neurolinguistic programming (NLP) in distance learning environment. The authors make an attempt to solve the problems arising in building lexical skills in adolescent distance learning students (desire to be independent; fear of being ridiculous, desire to assert oneself; increased anxiety, negativism to criticism; trust only in those professors who enjoy authority among students; interest to problem solving, decreased motivation to learn). From the principles of NLP (the principle of subjective perception of reality; the principle of permanent change in human consciousness as a result of interaction with surrounding reality); elements of NLP (personality-oriented approach; creating a system of effective beliefs; taking into account the main channels for obtaining information; creating a system of effective beliefs, a clear learning route) and NLP techniques (determination of the type of student motivation; presentation of the “route of movement”, learning objectives, student assessment criteria and methods of promotion; determination of the student's main programming language, the use of “access keys”, “anchoring”; consideration of the psychophysical characteristics of students; selection of relevant examples; accounting for color gamut visual presentation of information; emphasis on the behavior of the teacher himself; creating a situation of increased emotional arousal; taking into account the student's modality at the stage of introducing new vocabulary, the energies of the three receive channels, use of imaging technology information; training based on compact reference signal), microstrategies of mastering the vocabulary of a foreign language (microstrategies to create the necessary emotional background; microstrategies aimed at memorizing visual and auditory images of a word and their correlation with the semantic component; combining the two previous microstrategies), the authors offer a set of exercises aimed at building lexical skills. The article also provides an analysis of individual existing teaching materials for students and proves the necessity for additional testing of English vocabulary based on them

SPECIFIC FEATURES OF LIFE ORIENTATIONS AMONG STUDENTS AND THEIR INTERRELATION WITH PROFESSIONAL FORMATION

The author of this paper considers an empirical study of students' life orientations and their interrelation with professional formation. The major objectives of the study are: to conduct the theoretical analysis of life orientations; to compose a block of psychodiagnostic techniques for studying life orientations among students of various programs of study;. The practical significance of the study consisted in compiling a block of psychodiagnostic techniques that can be used to diagnose both the life orientations of a person and the value-meaning sphere. Also, on the basis of the data obtained, it is possible to develop corrective support for life orientations and related individual-personal characteristics of the perso
