The delegates raised a number of relevant and thought-provoking issues. Among them was the quality of reviews, the author-editorship interaction, ethical issues and many more. But the presentation on how to choose a title for a scientific paper kindled my interest. The speaker showed examples of headings in the manuscripts from the chemistry field. As the comments were quite universal, I would like to share them with readers and potential authors of Education and Self-Development Journal. When creating a title, one should remember two basic functions that headings carry out. First, they are supposed to engage the attention of readers. Second, they should facilitate the quick discoverability of a full manuscript in databases (Medvedev, 2022). Therefore, an initial recommendation for authors seeking to find a suitable title is the length. Long and complex titles usually discourage readers from reading the full text. Given that, it is recommended to make titles concise, but not too short. The length should range from 5 to 15 words (Enago Academy, 2022).","PeriodicalId":37225,"journal":{"name":"Education and Self Development","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79962166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The demand for educational courses in Russia increased by 2.5 times in the first half of 2020 due to the spread of COVID-19. Despite this only 19% of learners are prepared to continue their learning after the quarantine measures are lifted. In the first half of 2020 programs on these platforms were focused on soft skills. There was an increase in programs for stress resistance, leadership, productivity, business, hobbies and art, parent-child relationships, and foreign language learning. The proportion of programs reliant on social communications decreased significantly. However, there was an increase courses in IT (blog / website development, machine learning), and medicine (ensuring safety in case of coronavirus infection, prevention of COVID-19, etc.).

All schools and education institutions were forced to shift their education processes from face-to-face to online forms. Some of them had better conditions and more experienced staff for this transition, some of them had to start to create appropriate conditions both for teachers and students. Subsequently, numerous studies and analyses on the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on education have been done worldwide. The paper deals with a specific research question of how schools and education institutions used their experiences from the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic to ensure sustainable quality of education under the pandemic conditions. In this comparative study the authors present the findings resulted from two questionnaire surveys. The study has been processed with a focus on three areas: the quality of teaching, technical equipment used by students and students’ opinions and experiences with online forms of education, and influence of the home schooling (microclimate of the home environment) on student’s education. In the paper the authors present and discuss in more detail the first area, i.e. they analyse how experiences from the first wave of the pandemic were used to eliminate the negative impact on education and to provide adequate quality of education.","PeriodicalId":37225,"journal":{"name":"Education and Self Development","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88254563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this research is to conduct a theoretical analysis of the effectiveness of creating a collaborative learning environment in university and demonstrate its impact on the successful professional activity of future teachers. The paper presents the data of the experimental research in the form of Action Research, conducted among 1st and 2nd year students of pedagogical specialties in the natural sciences (chemistry, biology, physics, computer science). The core requirements of the personality-oriented, activity-based, systemic, environmental, axiological and competence-based approaches form the methodological foundation for building a collaborative learning environment. Students who are immersed in a collaborative learning environment have the opportunity to reflect on the level of formation of their own professional skills, the success of achieving educational goals, and the processes of self-realization, self-development, and self-actualization on a regular basis. This study examines the impact of collaborative learning on students’ communication skills, knowledge quality, assessment of educational achievements, and study time savings. The research findings are linked to the use of Action Research in the educational process, involving students in the process of professional self-improvement. The novelty of the research is characterized by the identification of developmental effect of a collaborative learning environment based on the concept of a zone of actual student professional growth. The practical significance of the research is the development of positive experience in structuring the educational process, with the prospect of applying this experience in future professional activities, such as working with students.","PeriodicalId":37225,"journal":{"name":"Education and Self Development","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88383924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study is important since it provides insight into how management styles may be effective in times of uncertainty and crisis. The research involved 661 managers, including 383 from the social sphere. The study utilized the management potential assessment questionnaire (PMO, version 5.0, Sinyagin, 2018), as well as a specially developed questionnaire. The participants were differentiated on two grounds: their attitude towards the pandemic either as a mobilizing challenge or as a serious not always surmountable difficulty in actual management. The findings reflect that the managers’ attitudes about the prospects for the country’s development after the end of the pandemic, commonly referred to as “optimism-pessimism”, have profound effect on their management strategies and performance indicators. It is revealed that readiness for learning and social mobility are key characteristics associated with optimistic future expectations. Internality, personality strength, a clear strategic life idea, and managerial experience are most associated with overcoming current circumstances. The paper concludes that developing and enhancing these qualities is a significant task that managers have in today’s uncertain world.","PeriodicalId":37225,"journal":{"name":"Education and Self Development","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74947624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the emotional intelligence of future naval officers during probation on ships as a predictor of their success in military service. The article shows that it is possible to predict the results of internships of cadets of a military university on ships through the partial elements and the overall characteristic of their emotional intelligence. One hundred cadets were examined using the N. Hall methodology “Diagnosis of emotional intelligence (Fetiskin, Kozlova and Manuylova variant), the “Progressive Matrices” test by J. Raven, and expert evaluations of the results of professional internships. The study evaluated the reliability of the distribution of indicators of the components of emotional intelligence “Emotional awareness”, “Managing your emotions”, “Self-motivation”, “Empathy” and “Recognizing the emotions of other people” and correlation analysis of the relationship of the integral level of emotional and non-verbal intelligence with the success of the training of future officers on ships. It concludes that psychological predictors of emotional intelligence and its partial elements predicts the results of professional activity due to self-regulation, self-control, and management of the emotional states of naval officers with fairly high reliability. The predictors identified contribute to the development of targeted corrective and preventive programs for the development of emotional intelligence among naval university cadets.","PeriodicalId":37225,"journal":{"name":"Education and Self Development","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74779834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous studies have looked at the significance of teachers’ well-being for effective professional activity and self-efficacy. However, little is known about how a teacher’s personal and professional characteristics influence their psychological well-being. The purpose of this study was to explore possible determinants of teachers’ psychological well-being, such as professional activity motivation, personal orientation, thinking style, terminological competence, and reflection. A total of 224 secondary school teachers from the Arkhangelsk area took part in the study. Ryff’s Scales of Psychological Well-being (SPWB) were used to assess the level of well-being. The teachers are found to have a moderate level of psychological well-being. It has shown that professional activity motivation has the most important role. Inner motives such as cognitive motives, activity motives, and self-realization goals promote psychological well-being, while external incentives such as communication and confession decrease it. The differences in professional and personal characteristics between teachers with various levels of psychological well-being were identified. Teachers with low levels of psychological well-being reported a greater importance for social approval. However, for those with the highest psychological well-being scores, it is more important to pursue professional development.","PeriodicalId":37225,"journal":{"name":"Education and Self Development","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85435522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this paper is to establish a new format of pedagogical local history as a strategic resource for professional development of the teacher of the future. The notion of pedagogical local history has been explained from the standpoint of a branch of pedagogical science that investigates the past and current situation of education in the country and its areas. Through the generalization of sources, clarification and interpretation of formulations, a new approach was proposed to understanding pedagogy as it relates to the professional readiness of the future teacher to independently manage his or her career, to determine the trajectory of profession, and to set desirable goals to promote the cultural heritage through the interaction of times, the development of a new one, and the preservation of the past. By incorporating the main principles of digitalization into pedagogical practices, regional pedagogical traditions were articulated in the context of the cultural heritage of generations of the Orenburg region. Regional factors have been found as having a novel quality to the seemingly well-known processes of professional evolution of the future teacher due to their “territorial” nature. The influence of pedagogical local history on the construction of a distinctive individual-creative style of a new evolution teacher, as well as the enrichment of historical and pedagogical heritage, was assessed analytically. The authors conclude that evaluating the strategic resources of pedagogical local history, which could play a certain reinforcing role in preparing a teacher for innovative pedagogical activities, based on the traditions and historical experience of studying the region and understanding the modern problems of its development, is of current importance. The Google Forms tool was used to conduct an online survey of 235 instructors.","PeriodicalId":37225,"journal":{"name":"Education and Self Development","volume":"216 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87087661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
