Abstract: The article presents the results of the studying the effect of the study visits method on the formation of professional motivation in second-year students majoring in specialty 024 "Choreography". Group balancing was performed by random selection according to age, gender and levels of choreographic training. The experiment was conducted in accordance with the pattern "Before-after with the control group". The study visits method of famous choreographers was used to conduct master classes with students of the experimental group. Rean's technique (adapted by the author) is used to diagnose the students' level of professional motivation. Pearson's coefficient and χ2 - Pearson's criterion were used to calculate the relationships between factor and result features, as well as to define the statistical significance of the data obtained. The study visits' motivational potential in the course of training future choreographers is revealed: in the experimental group in comparison with the control group there was a significant increase in motivation. The correlation between the growth of motivation and the increase of the level of the students' choreographic training is revealed. The analysis of students' essays was carried out, which established the content of students' motivational intentions for future professional activity. The role of transgression as a phenomenon of shaping the choreography students' motivation under the influence of encounters with artists is brought forward, which should be subject to further research.

Abstract: The success rate of currently performed CubeSat missions shows that despite their popularity, small satellites are still not as reliable as larger platforms. This research was conducted to analyse in-orbit experience from the KRAKsat mission and discuss methods for mission design and engineering that can increase CubeSats reliability and prevent their failures. The main purpose was to define best practices and rules that should be followed during mission development and operations to ensure its success based on the overview of the lessons learned from KRAKsat and problems encountered during its mission. This paper summarizes the experiences obtained and provides methods that can be used while carrying out future robust CubeSat projects. It was written to prove that there are some parts of the small satellite missions that are often neglected in the university-led projects and, by ensuring proper testing and planning before the actual mission, its reliability can increase. The following analysis could be used as a guide during the development of the next CubeSat projects.

Abstract: Exploring ways of learning foreign language grammar using video content in secondary education is relevant because most research focuses on other educational levels and rarely takes into account student and teacher assessments. In addition, the vast majority of studies deal with the theoretical aspects of foreign language grammar learning at school. Accordingly, there is a need for empirical studies that focus more on secondary education and the nature of teachers and students' perceptions of such issues. This determined the relevance of the article. The aim of the study is to establish the effectiveness of the use of audiovisual materials as a tool for learning a foreign language. As a result, was determined the assessment of teachers and students' feasibility of introducing video content in the process of learning grammar of a foreign (English) language. The main methods in the study were methods of experiment and interviewing; also, the method of questioning was used. The main hypothesis is that the introduction of video content as teaching material for learning foreign languages is an effective method of teaching, positively evaluated by all participants in the educational process. The results of the study show that the introduction of films as teaching material in the educational process contributes to the teacher's willingness to use video content for their lessons, the understanding of all participants in the educational process of the benefits of using audio-visual materials is improved; the performance increases. Increasing the level of methodological skill and awareness gained through personal experience encourages improvement of the learning process, awareness of the need to use the completely rich arsenal of modern methods and forms of language teaching. In the future perspective is the study that the use of audio-visual content as didactic material is not only a means of learning a language, but also a factor in improving critical thinking skills, a sense of social justice, awareness of art, in particular, history of the culture.

Abstract: The purpose of the study was to identify how the reshaped curriculum that was based on PISA standards fostered the key competencies of undergraduates majoring in primary school teaching and learning in terms of materials design and teaching methodology used throughout the internships at schools. The study used qualitative and quantitative methods with qualitative methods getting higher priority to enlarge the base of evidence and get a deeper insight into the issues under research. It was found that reshaping the pre-service teacher professional training, specifically in test format, materials design, and assessment, and made the shift to training schoolchildren to take PISA-based test was necessary for the school educational settings in Ukraine. The teacher students’ awareness of the PISA-based test needed improvement. The training model used in the study along with the internship addressed the loopholes in the university curriculums and training of the students majoring in primary education. The intervention brought a positively challenging experience for the students. It helped them to ‘pump up’ their intellectual, professional, and technical skills. They raised awareness of the PISA-based test, Blooms’ Taxonomy, and test question formulation. The students learned to use DIF and DTF methods to validate the PISA test questions, age specifics in training primary school children in terms of adjusting it taking the PISA-based test, and approaches to creating a positive mindset in primary schoolchildren towards learning through dialogue and cooperation. It was found that the students upgraded their teaching and material design skills and became more confident as teachers in terms of PISA-based test training. Changing the students’ perceptions and their teaching approaches were the major difficulties and challenges to the study. They were addressed through mentorship which was used when the students did internship.

Abstract: Development of the designing process in civil engineering brings the possibility for more complex analysis of the structures. Computational software can be helpful for regular design but also for identification and solving of more specified problems. Finite Element Method (FEM) became one of the most used numerical methods. Numerous commercial programs are based on this method. However, these programs are more complex and require skilled designer to fully utilize their potential. This article brings the lead to apply the FEM method implemented in commercial software ADINA to solve the problem of structural mechanics. It is necessary to connect the theoretical approach of FEM modeling and experience from real case problems. Skilled designer can calibrate the numerical model to obtain relevant outputs. However, certain cases still require a detailed and individual approach during designing that is verified by the in-situ monitoring and observation. Lead of the student to the flexible treatment of the design is one of the important tasks of the educational process. This involves the basic knowledge about appropriate analysis of the problem for effective utilization of the computational software for particular applications even for more complex solutions.

Abstract: The development of information technologies has formed a socio-economic request to reduce the age at which children can be introduced to programming. After 6 years’ efforts, the authors managed to develop and on a large scale introduce a one-year programming course for preschoolers, which is built on a metaphor of programmed control. During the course development, a set of basic programming concepts was selected and specified to be mastered by preschoolers aged 6+ in the activity-game form. This set of concepts goes back to Seymour Papert's ideas about teaching programming by writing programs that control moving objects using intuitive sets of commands. The main feature of the proposed system of concepts, allow at the initial stage of training to demonstrate and assimilate all the elements of the concept in the real, not in the virtual world. In the picture of the World, which we explain and demonstrate to children, only one function remains at the computer - the execution of the program it has memorized. Everything else happens in the real world. In the real world, an environment is created in which a real robot will move. In the real world, a program is created from tangible objects, which will then be "shown" to the computer so that it stores it in its memory and can then execute it at the command of a human. In the real world, obeying the signals of the computer, the robot performs the work stipulated by the program. This allows you to begin acquaintance with the programming of children from 4 years old, without working individually or collectively with electronic screens, which in today's Russia is prohibited by federal medical authorities in the educational process of children under 5 years old. The course is built on the text-free pictographic programming system PiktoMir developed by Russian Academy of Sciences. The methodological content of the course allows each preschooler to gain experience in the development and debugging of 120-150 simple programs by the end of the course. The final part of the article discusses the authors' plans for the development of a three-year textless programming course, methodologically and instrumentally connected with the primary school programming course.

Abstract: The work points out the problems of adaptation of the subject to the activity and the possibility of their solution through the formation of the style of activity. The urgency of the use of non-subject resources for the formation of the style of activity in modern conditions is substantiated. The role of the engineer in creating the environment and means of labor, which can be used as extra- subject resources, is pointed out. The principles on which the professional training of engineers should be based, found on the need to solve the problems of "completing" the subject (the subject of labor, the subject of life activity) are indicated. The principles, on which the higher education is oriented, are analyzed, and the problems of the educational process in modern conditions are indicated. The importance of interdisciplinary courses in the training of engineers of the future is substantiated; the possibilities of their implementation in the educational process and the advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. The central part of the work is essentially a reflection of the process of design, development and in the depths of the interdisciplinary course "Introduction to Specialty", built on the basis of the disciplines chosen by the student "Psychology of Business Communication" and "Fundamentals of Business Communication and Presentation" in the educational process at a technical university, including analysis of feedback from students who took part in it. The results of the implementation of the course and its scaling for other levels and for other areas of training are presented. The article analyzes the assessments of the effectiveness of training, exhibited by students when filling out the feedback questionnaire, which indicates a high level of subjective assessment of the effectiveness of the course as a whole in the presence of certain differences in assessing the achievement of individual results by students of different areas of training. The main directions of further work are outlined. A description of the structure and options for constructing a number of interdisciplinary courses is given.

Abstract: The main task of a higher education institution is to prepare a student for professional duties in a rapidly changing world. To effectively perform this task, it is necessary to give students not only knowledge but also to develop the necessary skills and abilities, in particular to develop critical thinking. The purpose of this work was to develop a methodology for the development of critical thinking of students, as well as to investigate its effectiveness. The study used the method of synthesis, which developed a method of developing critical thinking of students. To diagnose the effectiveness of the proposed method used the test "Critical Thinking" L. Starkey adapted by O. Lutsenko. In the study the peculiarities of the development of such critical thinking skills as reflective thinking, self-analysis, awareness of one’s own achievements and shortcomings, choice of problem-solving strategy, use of cognitive models of learning (Socratic dialogue, Paul & Elder taxonomy) are revealed. It was found that the development of critical thinking was achieved through a comprehensive combination of self-assessment and reflection, performing exercises to develop the ability to clearly articulate the problem, find, analyse and interpret relevant information, draw the right conclusions and explanations.The results of this study can be useful to researchers and university professors who are looking for effective methods of developing critical thinking in students.

Abstract: The article presents an analysis of innovative teaching technologies as a way to increase students’ competitiveness. The author found that innovative technologies in education are information and communication technologies relying on computer-based learning. The structure, content of educational software, organization of Web-space are important when using innovative teaching technologies in English classes. We conducted the study in several stages: comparative analysis, synthesis, classification and systematization of the results of psychological and pedagogical, educational and methodological research; study of legislative acts, periodicals in order to identify the state of the research issue, and determining the directions of its solution, as well as subject, goal and objectives of the study. We used modelling to create situations of foreign language professional communication of future IT specialists. Empirical methods involved questionnaires used for identifying the motives of professional development and determining the features of the educational activities of future IT specialists in the process of training. The methods of mathematical statistics allowed to scientifically describe and systematize the obtained data, to identify the quantitative relationship between the studied phenomena, to analyse and summarize the results. We conducted a socio-psychological study during 2016 - 2019. It involved 255 first- and fourth-year students of National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.” Innovative information and communication technologies that improve the educational and cognitive activity of students, as well as increase the level of their knowledge have become important in teaching a foreign language in higher educational institutions. These technologies include MOODLE — Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment, business game, integrated pedagogical technology, case study technology. Thus, the information-rich learning process in combination with the use of innovative technologies, well-organized e-learning, interactive training courses, multimedia tools improves the program of teaching and learning foreign languages in general, and English in particular, improves the level of knowledge of future IT specialists and motivation to study and learn foreign languages, allows students to use a variety of authentic materials. We state that all these factors influence the process of individualization of learning and contribute to the successful mastery of a foreign language.

Abstract: Leadership development corresponds to the focus on the individual’s success and competitiveness strategy. This is the optimal direction of the organization of attitude development because it covers two aspects of the student’s personality development: professionally-oriented and self-centric. The aim of the study is to identify and compare the leadership level in second- and fourth-year students to see dynamics of development and implementation of the leadership phenomenon in the professional and personal making up of future specialists. The task was to: (1) diagnose the existing educational impact of the university environment on the formation of leadership competencies; (2) clarify the relationship between the objective level of leadership skills development and assessment of leadership characteristics by students themselves; (3) determining tactics for further support and / or stimulation of personal and professional leadership skills of students; (4) elucidating the relationship between leadership skills and academic performance; (5) determining the universal prerequisites for the formation of leadership qualities of students. Based on the theoretical analysis of the issue, the authors developed an objective and subjective diagnostic model for leadership skills. In this study, data of the objective diagnostic technique are the key. Subjective diagnostic technique for leadership skills provides insights for problem interpretation. At the level of the first group of respondents, the average Leadership Skills Level of the second-year students was quite low and was found within the medium level. The second group of respondents consisting of the fourth-year students showed a slight but effective improvement. The Leadership Skills of this group were found at a sufficient level. Positive dynamics was revealed for all criteria of leadership skills as a result of applying objective diagnostic methods: decreased percentage of students with negative and relatively low markers of Leadership Skills Level and corresponding increase in percentage of students with positive markers of Leadership Skills Level. Further research can be organized in the direction of identifying and developing successful universal and professionally-oriented tactics for leadership development in students as part of attitude development.

Abstract: This research is motivated by the problems of students who fail to achieve happiness in their lives; this is caused by the inability of students to make adjustments to all forms of change in maintaining survival. Efforts that can be made to overcome this problem are to provide group guidance services with game techniques. This study aims to test whether the game technique in group guidance services is effective for improving students' self-adjustment. The method used in this research is experimental research using Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The results showed that there was a change in the mean value at the pre-test of 93.43 for the experimental class and 92.57 for the control class and the mean value at the post-test of 151.64 for the experimental class and 98.71 for the control class. So that the mean value at the time of post-test increased by 58.21 for the experimental group and 06.14 for the control group. These changes mean that group guidance with game techniques is empirically proven to be effective in increasing student adaptation.

Abstract: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of documentary film media on the Dutch East Indies colonial history in Indonesia on student learning outcomes. History learning is a crucial subject in shaping students’ character and nationalism. Dutch East Indies colonialism is one of the topics in high schools in Indonesia. This study used a quasi-experimental research model involving 35 students in the experimental group and 36 students in the control group, with a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group configuration in class XI SMA. The data analysis showed that the experimental class score averaged 88.14 and the control class averaged 79. These findings indicate a substantial difference between the experimental learning outcomes and the control group learning outcomes. Historical documentary film media has been proven to improve student learning outcomes, especially the experimental group. Therefore, historical documentaries are effectively used to increase students’ knowledge of history subjects.

Abstract: During 2020, the world faced the unusual situation of COVID-19 infections outbreak and at the same time people and governments faced the changes in lifestyle that was forced by the measures taken to manage the crises. Measures as social and physical distancing, in addition to self-quarantine, have been imposed by governments worldwide. Education sector was affected by the measures. Students were out of school worldwide. Education moved to the online and remote learning, posing new challenges for students and teachers. The new lifestyle caused stress for many people al around the world, students included. This research aims to investigate students’ behavior during 2020 on the level of stress, desire to study, laziness and concentration and gender differences. Through a cross-sectional online survey among 254 students of higher education institutions in Albania, was found out that stress levels of students in higher education institutions were higher among female students compared to male students.

Abstract: This literature review article aims to look at the variables that influence, are influenced, and mediated by the leadership practices of principals in schools. The authors reviewed 16 research articles from European countries and a small part of Asia and America. The researchers concluded that: 1) Self-efficacy can affect variables such as emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction, normative commitment, and including motivation not to resign. 2) Self-efficacy can fluctuate, influenced by experience, which at that time can also be influenced by the opinions of others. Therefore, a leader is responsible for the development and growth of job satisfaction and teacher self-efficacy. 3) Self-efficacy can be a mediator for the growth and development of other variables. The psychological atmosphere you feel at that moment also adds another variable. The self-efficacy variable can also determine the improvement and achievement of other variables. This study provides new insights into how to manage people for maximum results.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore what nine high school principals did to outperform other schools in the South and Central regions of Somalia. The study highlighted the high school principals’ perception of maintaining education quality concerning curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The study focused on the admission process, teaching, and learning performances of the top nine high schools in South and central Somalia. The methodology of this Qualitative study was descriptive phenomenology. The research design and approach were semi-structured open-ended interview protocol that comprised eight interview questions. Purposeful sampling was the sampling method. Nine principals participated in the study and provided the research data regarding the education quality of nine high schools in Somalia. All nine principals in this study maintained their high schools' education quality using a rigorous admission process. They utilized a government-developed official curriculum. Five principals reported that they employed specialist instructors, while six stated that their students actively participated in the learning process during class time. However, all the participants reported that smartphones hindered student learning. A slight majority of five principals (56%) stated that parental interventions were vital to schools' overall learning achievements. Somalia's public schools are far behind in utilizing effective educational technology. The technological literacy of the teachers is vital to effectively employ the accessible educational technology, which encouraged students to incorporate modern technologies in their learning activities successfully. Rigorous admission process, efficient curriculum, instruction, effective instructional materials, employing professional instructors, and active learning are all important components to maintain education quality.

Abstract: University undergraduate pro- grams in computing disciplines are updated regularly to adapt to advancements in the field and emerging, fast-growing industry demand. This paper reports the current status of a selected set of undergraduate programs in com- puting fields in Saudi Arabia and compares them to other programs from international universi- ties in light of the 2020 Computing Curricula Report (CCR). This comparative study aims to enlighten future efforts for designing cur- ricula and updating undergraduate computing programs in Saudi Arabia. A sample of 26 Saudi universities (15 public and 11 private) and 15 international universities offering 161 programs is selected. The comparison criteria include program discipline, duration, number of units, accreditation, required training, and others. We find significant differences between programs offered by Saudi public and private universities compared to international university programs. For example, programs offered by Saudi universities, especially the public, require more units compared to international programs (median of 143 units vs. 120 units). Our findings would guide future undergraduate computing program developments in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract: Ensuring the security of the software has raised concerns from the research community which triggered numerous approaches that tend to eliminate it. The process of ensuring the security of software includes the introduction of processes in the Software Development Life Cycle where one of them is testing after the software is developed. Manually testing software for security is a labor-intensive task. Therefore, it is required to automate the process of testing by generating test cases by automated techniques. In this paper, we review various software security test case generation approaches and techniques. We try to explore and classify the most eminent techniques for test case generation. The techniques are summarized and presented briefly to covers all researches work that has been done in the targeted classification. Moreover, this paper aims to depict the sound of security in the current state of the art of test case generation. The findings are summarized and discussed where the opportunities and challenges are revealed narratively. Although the paper intends to provide a comprehensive view of the research in test case generation, there was a noticeable lack in the test case generation from the security perspectives.

Abstract: Forming national identity is placed on top of the seven aspects of High-Impact Educational Practices (HIEPs) in Northern Border University. Similarly, the concept of academic awareness to national literature has been one of the main challenges to national literature in the Middle East. Just as the strong presence of national identity in Saudi’s 2030 vision has initiated re-evaluations of how national identity is shaped, Saudi novel has similar concerns that inform social constructs of national identity through overarching themes and comprehensive representations of cultural issues. This study investigates the ways in which two Saudi novelists interrogate the intertwined issues shared by 2030 vision and national novel which address the archetypal Saudi identity: first, that the construction of modern identity requires much cultural openness with the world; second, that construction of Saudi identity needs exclusion of otherness; and third, that national identity depends on the rich history of two historical regions – Najd and Hijaz - that binds identity to a unified territory. The study focuses on how these novels give visibility to issues that are at the core of 2030 vision’s social and cultural aspect such as life style, appearance behaviours, attitudes, accepting differences and willingness to work and volunteer. Drawing on this narrative analysis, the study advocates for the utility of introducing national novel for undergraduate students to help them perceive identity as a position and support their identity enactment.

Abstract: The number of network users and devices has exponentially increased in the last few decades, giving rise to sophisticated security threats while processing users’ and devices’ network data. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) introduces many new features, but none is more revolutionary than separating the control plane from the data plane. The separation helps DDoS attack detection mechanisms by introducing novel features and functionalities. Since the controller is the most critical part of the SDN network, its ability to control and monitor network traffic flow behavior ensures the network functions properly and smoothly. However, the controller’s importance to the SDN network makes it an attractive target for attackers. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is one of the major threats to network security. This paper presents a comprehensive review of information theory-based approaches to detect low-rate and high-rate DDoS attacks on SDN controllers. Additionally, this paper provides a qualitative comparison between this work and the existing reviews on DDoS attack detection approaches using various metrics to highlight this work’s uniqueness. Moreover, this paper provides in-depth discussion and insight into the existing DDoS attack detection approaches to point out their weaknesses that open the avenue for future research directions. Meanwhile, the finding of this paper can be used by other researchers to propose a new or enhanced approach to protect SDN controllers from the threats of DDoS attacks by accurately detecting both low-rate and high-rate DDoS attacks.

Abstract: This study explores interactive e-book cues and Information Processing Levels (IPL)’s effectiveness on Learning Retention (LR) and External Cognitive Load (ECL). 117 middle school pupils (MSP) were divided into six experimental groups based on their IPL and cues during the second term of the academic year 2019–2020. Visual Cues (VC)/Audiovisual Cues (VAC) and Auditory Cues (AC)/Audiovisual Cues (VAC) statistically varied in the Ie-book in LR test and ECL scale, same for the average scores when testing the LR in Science for MSP due to the difference between IPL for the DL. There is a statistically significant effect of cue types' interaction in Ie-book with IPL in ECL scale for MSP, at its highest peak in the case of the AVC with DL, followed by the interaction resulting from the VC with DL then AC with SL. Also, cues interaction in Ie-book with IPL immensely affect the LR test for MEP, which is at its highest peak in the case of the AVC with DL. The interactions between (DL–SL) and (AC–VC) seem to equally influence the ELC.

Abstract: Nowadays, the exploitation of augmented reality in education is linked to a multitude of pedagogical subjects, including history, geography, natural sciences and arts. The extensive use of computers in the educational process in recent years, in addition to learners’ familiarity with the use of Internet and applications associated with its operation, have led to a search for creative methods, which will enhance interaction in the pedagogical approach. As a result, a digital learning environment has emerged in which trainees gain access to knowledge in an entertaining and interactive way by making use of innovations and gaining the ability to control their knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to feature the role of new technologies in the educational process by studying the use of augmented reality applications in teaching history. Designing such applications requires direct involvement of the teacher and, as established by the case study, the benefits are extremely important; students acquire a particular interest in the learning object and achieve higher performance, as compared to conventional forms of teaching.

DOI: 10.46300/9109.2021.15.2     XML

Abstract: Random walks on graphs have been extensively used for a variety of graph-based problems such as ranking vertices, predicting links, recommendations, and clustering. However, many complex problems mandate a high-order graph representation to accurately capture the relationship structure inherent in them. Hypergraphs are particularly useful for such models due to the density of information stored in their structure. In this paper, we propose a novel extension to defining random walks on hypergraphs. Our proposed approach combines the weights of destination vertices and hyperedges in a probabilistic manner to accurately capture transition probabilities. We study and analyze our generalized form of random walks suitable for the structure of hypergraphs. We show the effectiveness of our model by conducting a text ranking experiment on a real world data set with a 9% to 33% improvement in precision and a range of 7% to 50% improvement in Bpref over other random walk approaches.
