Open Type Tasks as a Tool for Developing Creativity in Secondary School Students

© 2016 Springer Science+Business Media DordrechtThe relevance of the present study is due to the importance of developing creativity which is considered to be the target and the result of education. Modern society demands from individuals non-standard actions and approaches, flexibility, an ability to formulate new ideas and original ways of thinking when solving urgent problems in the course of life. Facilitating the formation of a personality with a strong intellectual potential capable of creative thinking is set as one of the priorities in the federal and regional documents that determine the direction of educational institutions’ development. The generalized cognitive ability to create and solve tasks is the specific feature of intelligence. The tasks are used in the educational process as a means of presentation, consolidation and acquisition of new knowledge. Thus, the aim of our research is to explore whether using the system of open type tasks can be an effective way of improving the level of creativity development in secondary school students. The main methods in this experiment are modeling the system of open type tasks and the system analysis of large samples of experimental data based on assessment according to a two-point scale of four parameters: the optimality of ideas suggested by students, the efficiency of students’ reasoning, the originality of their answers and the degree of the investigation of solutions. Our experimental research made it possible to design new methods of developing creativity in secondary school students

Education reform at the science university and the new strategy for training science teachers

© 2016 by iSER, International Society of Educational Research.The urgency of the problem of designing a new strategy of teacher training due to the reform of education in universities: decrease of pedagogical disciplines, strengthening fundamental (subject) training, etc. The goal of the article lies in identification of the main components of the new strategy of teacher training. A leading approach to the study of this problem was personological. The result was a new model of teacher training. Undergraduate students are deepening their knowledge of the core subjects (be it Mathematics and Physics or Chemistry and Biology), while graduate students are making a choice: whether to be an engineer, researcher, scientist (which means keep deepening one’s knowledge) or be a teacher (which means master psychology, pedagogics, and the methodology of teaching a chosen discipline). The new approach has helped identify the indicators and determinants of pedagogical craftsmanship. The results of the study can be useful in designing new strategies for training teachers

The least Σ-jump inversion theorem for N-families

© J.UCS. Studying the Σ-reducibility of families introduced by [Kalimullin and Puzarenko 2009] we show that for every set X ≥ T ∅׳_there is a family of sets F which is the Σ-least countable family whose Σ-jump is Σ-equivalent to X ⊕ X. This fact will be generalized for the class of n-families (families of families of… of sets)

Organização do tráfego de veículos com base no monitoramento ambiental da bacia aérea

Modern scientific knowledge of a problem of environmental pollution by the motor transport is based on idea of negative impact of all transport complex, and not just separate objects of transport. The problem of environmental pollution by objects of a motor transportation complex is aggravated with rapid growth of vehicular fleet. In total with insufficient development of a street road network and low level of quality of management of motor transportation streams it leads to emergence of a critical ecological situation in the cities.

Spectra of high n and non-low n degrees

We survey known results on spectra of structures and on spectra of relations on computable structures, asking when the set of all highn degrees can be such a spectrum, and likewise for the set of non-low n degrees. We then repeat these questions specifically for linear orders and for relations on the computable dense linear order ℚ. New results include realizations of the set of non-low n Turing degrees as the spectrum of a relation on ℚ for all n≥1, and a realization of the set of all non-low n Turing degrees as the spectrum of a linear order whenever n≥2. The state of current knowledge is summarized in a table in the concluding section. © 2010 The Author. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved
