An innovative method to assess the development of competencies of students when writing a graduate qualification paper
Aydarkin E.K., Kundupyan O.L., Starostin A.N., Kundupyan Y.L., Fomina A.S.
Abstract

A topical issue in the modern education system is the objective control of a student’s independent work when writing a graduate qualification paper (Graduation Thesis). Currently, only the procedure for defending a Graduation Thesis is being assessed, which does not reflect the entire set of skills of independent research work. To solve this problem, within the more general task of creating a criteria-based assessment system, the authors developed a method for assessing the formedness of competencies by assessing the development degree of professional skills constituting competency indicators. The method is based on recording a wide range of objective indicators in the process of independent work using an electronic educational environment and on algorithms for calculating “Proficient” indicators for target professional competencies. The purpose of the study is to develop and test a method for assessing the development of students’ competencies when writing a Graduation Thesis. The developed method was tested on a group of graduate biology students specializing at the Chair of Human and Animal Physiology. Based on the results of the Graduation Thesis defense procedure, all students specializing at the Chair received an “excellent” rating, which implies an equally high level of development of competencies. As part of the testing, the authors assessed such activities as writing a literature review, mastering experimental equipment and collecting experimental material, statistical data processing, and preparing publications. It was found that the examined group of students is significantly heterogeneous in terms of some indicators. The authors identified skills where the majority of those surveyed showed a proficiency level below the required minimum. The testing results showed that, compared to the final assessment based on the thesis defense results, the developed method is more objective and informative for assessing the development of competencies.

The demand for interaction of family and school in the process of raising a child: the experience of empirical research
Brunchukova N.M.
Abstract

Currently, the problem of interaction between an educational organization and a family is one of the most significant in the theory and practice of the pedagogical process. The paper considers the issues of building constructive interaction between a teacher and parents in the process of raising a child, and reveals the potential of methodological cooperation between school and parents. The following principle should be considered the basis for such cooperation: the most effective way to help a child is to help his parents. The purpose of the study is to determine the demand for interaction (methodological support) between family and school in the process of raising an elementary school child; to specify the most effective forms and methods of interaction in the process of providing methodological assistance to parents in their educational activities. The study was carried out in the form of a survey. The survey questions offered to parents included several areas: determining the appropriateness and necessity of providing methodological support to the family when solving educational problems; specifying the most effective forms and methods of interaction in the process of providing methodological assistance to parents in their educational activities. The results of the study allow talking about the demand for interaction and methodological support of the family by the educational organization in family education matters, both on the part of teachers (school) and on the part of parents. The author identified the most effective forms of methodological support for parents in matters of raising a child: debates on educational issues, joint trainings, role plays (“pedagogical ring”), involving parents in organizing and conducting extracurricular activities (excursions, tourism, competitions, projects, etc.). The author sees one of the ways to solve this problem in the methodological preparation of a future teacher for the implementation of interaction between family and school at the stage of getting vocational education, offering students relevant elective courses.

Didactics of technical translation based on the industry thesaurus
Gorbunov Y.I., Gorbunova O.Y.
Abstract

The paper is about the didactics of technical translation based on the thesaurus-type dictionaries on particular industries. The paper outlines the problems that arise in the process of translating scientific and technical terminology from French into Russian. The main focus is on modern methods of translation of foreign technical terminology on the basis of the thesaurus. In this regard, the authors present a technology for translating French automotive terms into Russian using a French-Russian automotive thesaurus. The methodological algorithm for technical translation includes didactic operations that provide the following: searching for a French technical term in the alphabetical index to the thesaurus in order to determine the addresses of semantic fields; sequential access to the semantic fields of the French technical term at the specified addresses in the thesaurus; the final choice of the Russian equivalent of a foreign technical term as a result of the analysis of its semantic fields taking into account the current context. Thesaurus technology used in the process of teaching special technical translation in the professional training of linguist-translators best contributes not only to the development of knowledge, skills, and translation experience that make up the professional competence of a linguist-translator, but to their effective application in the future professional activities. The main objective of this work is to increase the efficiency of training future translators through the development of their professional competence based on the thesaurus approach as a linguo-didactic tool. The thesaurus approach to the translation of technical texts is considered as a linguo-didactic tool for the formation of a translator’s professional competence.

Using the shadowing technique in teaching phonetics to linguistics students: challenges and potential solutions
Dymova A.V., Kareva V.Y.
Abstract

The paper describes the use of the shadowing technique, which entails learners of the foreign language reading an authentic text together with the speaker in order to copy the rhythm and tempo, and connected speech peculiarities, thereby, improving their articulation, phonetic, lexical, grammatical, translation and other skills in the foreign language. According to the observations of other researchers, this method helps students improve articulation and intonation characteristics, and speech fluency; however, there is no comprehensive description of the issues discovered by the authors while using this method with the students of linguistic specialties in phonetics course. Based on the observations of 96 first-year students who study Linguistics and Pedagogy with the B1+ level according to the CEFR, the researchers have identified a number of challenges in using this method to teach students of the linguistic faculties. The students may face the following issues: 1) difficulties with making their own markings especially in the beginning of their studies; 2) skeptical attitude towards the changes made, trouble identifying the right tone; 3) reluctance of a particular percentage of students to spend enough time on self-study which this technique is predicated upon (in the current study, this was around a quarter of the students); 4) particular sound articulation challenges, difficulty copying English tones, as well as pronouncing long thought groups; 5) psychological barriers. The authors suggest potential solutions, such as using Praat software to analyze speech, measuring pitch and intensity to resolve markup disputes; emphasizing and illustrating the importance of studying the phonetic aspects of the language to achieve successful communication; targeted work with the articulation of sounds that are absent or different from Russian ones.

Can relationship patterns be transferred? The influence of parent-child attachment on interpersonal harmony among adolescents
Ma Y., Wu J., Zha S., Yang C.
Abstract

Based on attachment the theory and ecological systems theory, this paper explores the impact of parent-child attachment, on interpersonal harmony adolescents and the mechanism of psychological boundary and cognitive flexibility. Methods: 505 adolescents, were investigated by parent-child attachment questionnaire, psychological boundary questionnaire, cognitive flexibility questionnaire, and interpersonal comprehensive diagnostic scale, of which 51.5 % were boys. Results: Parent-child attachment was negatively predicted interpersonal harmony. In other words, the higher the level of parent-child attachment, the lower level of interpersonal disturbance, and the more harmonious the interpersonal relationship. Psychological boundary, and cognitive flexibility, play mediating roles between parent-child attachment, and interpersonal harmony respectively, and the mediation effect accounted for 15.58 and 18.83 % of the total effect respectively. The results support the parallel mediation model of parent-child attachment, and interpersonal harmony among adolescents. Conclusion: The results support the parallel mediation model of psychological boundary, and cognitive flexibility between parent-child attachment and interpersonal harmony.

The relationship between normative attitudes of sex-role behavior and gender identity among young people
Ryadinskaya E.N., Volobuev V.V., Bogrova K.B.
Abstract

Against the background of changes in functions and meanings in gender and family relations in Russian society, there is a growing tendency to change traditionalist behavior norms to egalitarian ones. The objective of the research is to find out how widespread traditionalist or egalitarian views regarding male or female sex-role behavior are in the modern society, and to study the influence of such attitudes on gender identity of young people. The authors carried out an empirical study, during which they obtained data on the existence of a relationship between normative attitudes towards masculinity and femininity, on the one hand, and gender identity, on the other. In the group of girls, the study identified the relationships between the gender identity level and attitudes regarding female behavior, such as the importance of attractive appearance, the dependence, self-sufficiency in relations with men, and the final indicator. The authors noted that among young men, there was no dependence between gender identity and feminine attitudes, but there is a relationship between the gender identity level and masculine attitudes, such as fixation on achievements and the final indicator. For girls, the study did not find any statistically significant relationship between the gender identity level and the presence of similar attitudes towards men. The authors conclude that the female sex is more flexible in its ideas about the norms of behavior of men. For girls, it is more important to be eye-catching and self-sufficient in relationships than for boys.

The relationship between the characteristics of emotional regulation and social anxiety of persons dependent on psychoactive substances
Sarycheva Y.V., Iksanova D.D., Lazyuk I.V., Dorosheva E.A., Ponomarenko I.V., Matveeva I.A., Perevoznik A.I.
Abstract

Social phobia is one of the most common anxiety disorders among patients receiving medical treatment for substance-related disorders. There is reason to believe that certain strategies of emotional regulation act as risk factors for the development of social anxiety in persons dependent on psychoactive substances (PAS), while other strategies are protective factors. Using a sample of 30 people undergoing rehabilitation at a drug abuse clinic, the authors showed the relationships between social anxiety and its components, emotional states and specific strategies of emotional regulation. Shame experience increases with an increase in social anxiety, but the self-accusation strategy is used to reduce it. Focus on problem-solving and cognitive revaluation, as well as the ability to maintain attention to daily activities and focus on current activities are inversely associated with social phobia symptoms. Taking a problem situation for granted is inversely associated with social anxiety, which may be specific to the sample of individuals undergoing rehabilitation. Awareness as a self-regulation mechanism generally showed no association with social phobia symptoms. Most likely, this is explained by its low development in general among people who use PAS. Since social anxiety is a factor that provokes substance misuse, hinders gaining positive experience in resolving difficult situations, and reduces the quality of life, it is recommended that rehabilitation programs for PAS-dependent persons include the formation of skills in adaptive emotional regulation and techniques that allow restoring the attention processes underlying complex self-regulation functions.
