INTEGRATED LEARNING IN A MODERN SCHOOL IN THE CONTEXT OF DISTANCE EDUCATION

The article is aimed at defining the concept of integrated learning and features of the implementation of this educational technology in modern general education institutions. In defining the key concept, the mechanisms of integration between the basic disciplines, which are appropriate for the use of integrated learning in the modern school, are considered. It is noted that integration can be carried out by two key mechanisms, each of which is aimed at the perception of pupils of the surrounding world as a whole, regardless of which aspect of science is its knowledge.The article reveals the essence of the integrated approach to education, its significance and impact on changing the structure of a particular subject, which is an important element in improving the effectiveness of the educational process. In addition, the article describes in detail the action of mechanisms in the implementation of the basics of an integrated lesson, as well as the content and operation of didactic principles for implementing an integrated approach.The main research methods are: Analysis of literature sources, observation, survey, generalization and statistical analysis.The article focuses on identifying opportunities for introducing distance learning into Ukrainian education using an integrative approach.The main results of the study give grounds for asserting that the active and professional use of distance education opportunities by teachers will contribute to solving the educational problems that have arisen in modern Ukraine. These changes will help build new ways of development and prospects for Ukrainian educators, based on the relevance and widespread use of online education.The authors proposed their own definitions of the concepts "value orientations", "personal values", "value orientations of Ukrainian youth".

Формування проектної компетентності майбутніх екологів

We have gained successful experience in conducting educational projects with studentsenvironmentalists of various thematic areas. The topics of ecological projects was related to a practical, professionally oriented block of the curriculum and are intended to deepen the knowledge of individual students in a certain area in order to differentiate the learning process. Most often, project topics relate to a specific practical issue that is relevant to real life. At the same time, it requires the acquisition of students’ knowledge from different subjects stimulates systematic creative thinking, turning up the research skills and opens opportunities for effective using of ICT in the project activity.Ми набули успішного досвіду в проведенні освітніх проектів зі студентами-екологами різних тематичних напрямків. Тематика екологічних проектів була пов'язана з практичним, професійно орієнтованим блоком навчальної програми і покликана поглибити знання окремих студентів з певної галузі з метою диференціації процесу навчання. Найчастіше теми проекту стосуються конкретного практичного питання, що має відношення до реального життя. У той же час, це вимагає засвоєння студентами знань з різних предметів, стимулює систематичне творче мислення, набуття дослідницьких навичок та відкриває можливості для ефективного використання ІКТ у проектній діяльності

The intellectual system of movies recommendations based on the collaborative filtering

The investigation deals with designing and developing of intellectual system of movies recommendations  based on the collaborative filtering using the Python software environment. In particular, the approaches (Content-based approach, Collaborative filtering, Hybrid models) in recommendatory system construction with the help of neural networks have been analyzed. It has been established that it is difficult to implement and learn the Content-based approach and it strongly depends on the subject area. Collaborative filtering is more simple in implementation, training, it is universal, but it has a flaw in the form of a «cold-start». Accordingly, the collaborative filtering has been chosen for the design and development of the intellectual system of movies recommendations. While designing a system of recommendations based on collaborative filtering, the Naive Recommendations, Recommendations based on average ratings of similar users, Recommendations based on average user ratings and similarity matrix have been described; their algorithm and their implementation using the Python software environment have been demonstrated. As a result the intellectual system of recommendations has been realized and it can offer a movie to the user according to his/her preferences
