Introduction. “A teacher, if they are honest, must always be an intent learner” (Maxim Gorky). Education is a process that continues throughout a teacher's professional career and is an essential element in their growth and development as a specialist. The question of motivation in obtaining and continuing pedagogical education is related to the specific nature of the teacher's work as a translator of incentives to understand the reality. The purpose of this study was to examine the motives for obtaining and continuing pedagogical education. Materials and methods. The article presents the results analysis of a poll survey of graduates of pedagogical specialties at various levels of education: vocational training, bachelor's degree level, and master's degree level (176 people). The survey considered the aspects that reveal educational motivation, such as the probability of continuing education, the planned level and direction of training, the optimal form of education, motives for choosing a specialty, evaluation of the mastering quality level of educational programs, assessment of the teaching process at the university, evaluation of the situation with jobs while studying and prospects in the labor market, evaluation of professional training, and recommendations for improving the structure and content of educational programs. Results. Most of the surveyed graduates at all levels of education (69%) have a clear understanding of their prospects in the system of continuous pedagogical education. Students at the vocational education level are the most motivated to continue their education, while master's degree students are more motivated to realize themselves in their chosen profession. However, at the bachelor's degree level, serious difficulties arise in maintaining motivation to continue pedagogical education. Graduates at all levels of education are increasingly opting for alternative directions when choosing further education. The poll results show that participation in practical activities plays a huge motivational role in professional training. However, students note a lack of such activities, including all types of internships. Conclusion. The data we gathered on the motives for obtaining and continuing pedagogical education should be taken into account when implementing the principles of continuous education.

The results revealed that 96 per cent of the doctoral degree students selected the course by choice, which was 97.5 and 74 per cent in case of master and bachelor degree students, respectively. Majority of the students opted bachelor degree course to learn practical agriculture, while post-graduation has been opted for attaining a better job. The percentage of students who selected agricultural studies by their own decisions have increased with increase in the degree level, which was 36, 57, and 62 per cent at bachelor, master and doctoral degree levels, respectively. Apart from their own decisions, their fathers and siblings served as a source of motivation for a significant number of students at all the degree levels. Majority of the students, as well as their parents, wished to get employed in the service sector, and a considerable proportion of them wanted to go for higher education. Within the service sector, state government jobs were mostly preferred and private sector jobs were least preferred. Interestingly, a significant volume (26%) of the bachelor degree students wanted to take up farming as their profession. There was a significant positive relationship between career preferences and profile characteristics like family income, degree level and medium of instruction at the secondary level. Student respondents felt that family type, family background and income were the major constraints in selecting their career options.

The problem and the aim of the study. A teacher of a digital school, according to the requirements of the standard of professional activity, must possess such universal qualities related to information and communication technologies, formed communicative competence, the ability to work in a team. The formation of the relevant skills within the framework of university education is complicated by a number of problems of a different nature. The authors suggest organizing a practice of designing a system of specially selected tasks to improve the training of future teachers of a digital school. Research methods. The most important idea is the acquisition of new knowledge by creation and solving tasks. The solution of the system of educational, specially designed tasks supports the implementation of the provisions of the system-activity approach to learning. The pedagogical experiment involved 120 students of specialty 44.03.01 Pedagogical education (two training profiles, bachelor's degree level), Vyatka State University, Kirov, Russia Federation. Statistical verification of the obtained results was made using Fisher's criterion (angular transformation). Results. Students of the experimental group were involved in practical activities to design their own tasks on the example of studying the theory and methods of teaching Informatics (situational-motivational; support; border): self-determination of the plot, the development directions of intensification and extensification. Statistically significant differences were revealed between the experimental and control groups in terms of the level of professional training φcrit < φemp (1.64 < 2.558). In conclusion, the authors generalized the features of the organization of practical activity for the development of a system of own tasks for a digital school: the choice of the first task, the use of information sources of various nature, learning with and without a computer, group discussion of a result, resolving contradictions, "ignorance–knowledge–understanding–skill–proficiency", work in conditions of uncertainty, etc.

The problem and the aim of the study. Modernization of higher education opens up new prospects for the use of electronic resources in ensuring the quality of foreign language education. The use of interactive tools (simulators, flash cards, virtual boards) meets the requirements for training programs of physical education teachers and the challenges of the international sports movement. The purpose of the work is to study the possibilities of using digital flash cards in training future physical education teachers to develop their foreign language communicative competence. Research methods. The study involved 54 first- and second-year students of Vyatka State University (Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology) (Russian Federation). Training program: 44.03.01 Pedagogical education, Physical education and sports (bachelor's degree level). The Quizlet online platform was used to work with digital flash cards. The test contains questions grouped into the blocks “Digital educational technologies” and “Foreign language in communication (physical education and sports)”. For statistical processing of data, the Pearson's chi-squared test was used. Results. The system of working with flash cards in foreign language professional communication of physical education teachers is described: studying the functionality, working with ready-made sets of cards, automating and improving lexical units, developing thematic sets. A special feature of the program is the adaptation of its content to the specifics of the field of study. In independent work and online collaboration, students of the experimental group used Flashcards, Speller, Scatter, Quizlet Live modes. Statistically significant differences in the qualitative changes that occurred in the level of foreign language training were determined (χ2 = 8.179; p < 0.05). In conclusion, the possibilities of including flash cards in the training of physical education teachers are formulated: competition and receiving positive emotions; resources for self-development, etc. Difficulties are also highlighted: low initial level of language qualification and digital skills; different motivation; dependence of the learning process on sports specialization.

This qualitative study investigates the educational background and fields of expertise of faculty members in English translation programs at the bachelor's degree level in state universities of Türkiye. Despite the prevalence of these programs across Turkish universities, a discrepancy emerges between the faculty members' doctoral qualifications and the specialized field of Translation Studies. The research aims to reveal the academic landscape of these programs by examining the doctoral disciplines of faculty members, utilizing data primarily sourced from the YÖK (Council of Higher Education) Atlas Database and the YÖK (Council of Higher Education) Academic Database. When information is unavailable in the database above, university websites serve as supplementary data sources. This methodological approach enables a comprehensive analysis of the extent to which academic program qualifications align with the field of Translation Studies. Preliminary findings indicate a significant underrepresentation of faculty with doctoral degrees in Translation Studies, suggesting a potential misalignment between program expertise and the specialized training needs of translation programs. This study underscores the crucial link between the program's field-specific expertise and the quality of training, highlighting the need for policy interventions aimed at bolstering the recruitment and development of academically qualified faculty in the discipline of Translation Studies. The implications of this research extend beyond academia, informing policymakers and educational administrators about the importance of aligning educational offerings with program qualifications to enhance the educational outcomes of translation programs in Türkiye.

This paper discusses the role of open educational resources (OER) in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) learning. Usually the media used in OER are video lessons, presentations, some open textbooks, etc. But how does this paradigm apply to interactive learning environments? Can users have permissions to engage in the 5R activities (Retain, Reuse, Revise, Remix and Redistribute) both to the course content and to the platform for the course? The authors present a model for creation of educational virtual environments. The designed methodology is applied in development of various Computer Graphics-related university courses - Educational Languages and Environments, Geometry of Motion, and Fundamentals of Computer Graphics. There are presented three use cases for open educational virtual environments as illustration of the proposed methodology - Suica, Mecho and Meiro. For each of these environments are presented directions for 5R activities for both the course content and the educational virtual environment. The approbation of this innovative eLearning tools at bachelor's degree level shows improvement in students' comprehension of the course material and performance during the courses. The OER have a significant impact on the co-creative activities of the students.

This research explores motivation for learning as an intrinsic condition that compels individuals to participate in learning activities, including a range of internal and external elements.It has become an important determinant of success for students at all education levels.This study aims to investigate motivation for learning among undergraduate university students in Malaysia.This research integrates three components: value, expectancy, and affective to measure the motivation for learning among the undergraduate students across educational levels.This study employs a quantitative method called purposive sampling.We distributed 310 Likert scale questionnaires, dividing them into four sections: Section A covers the demographic profile, Section B covers expectancy (7 items), and Section D covers all three components: value (12 items), expectancy (7 items), and affective (5 items).SPSS was used to analyse the data.The findings revealed that students at the bachelor's degree level have a higher score for all components of value, expectancy, and affective, making them more motivated to learn compared to the students at the diploma level.Despite the extensive research on students' motivation, this study offers fresh perspectives by examining the motivation of tertiary students at various educational levels.Thus, the research findings can be used to foster an educational environment that will encourage students to thrive.

There is little published literature about the outcomes of dental hygiene baccalaureate degree education, particularly in Canada. Since there are various dental hygiene entry-to-practice educational models in Canada, exploring baccalaureate dental hygiene education is becoming an increasingly important subject. The purpose of this study was to explore the personal outcomes and dental hygiene practice outcomes of dental hygiene degree-completion education in Canada from the perspectives of diploma dental hygienists who have continued their education to the bachelor's degree level. This study employed a qualitative phenomenological design, using a maximum variation purposeful sampling strategy. Data generation occurred with sixteen dental hygienists across Canada through individual semistructured interviews. Interviews were audiorecorded, transcribed verbatim, and coded for data analysis, involving pattern recognition and thematic development. Themes that emerged included changes in self-perception, values, and knowledge base. Changes in self-perception were reflected in a reported increase in self-confidence and perceived credibility. Changes in values included a greater appreciation for lifelong learning. Advancements in knowledge strengthened the development of specific abilities that ultimately influenced participants' dental hygiene practice. These abilities included an increased ability to think critically, to make evidence-based decisions, and to provide more comprehensive care. Participants also commented on having more career opportunities available to them outside of the private clinical practice setting. These results reveal important insights into the impact of earning a dental hygiene baccalaureate degree on oneself and one's dental hygiene practice.

Attitudes of students of health sciences towards the older persons

This study aims to investigate the relationship between consumers' social media addiction (SMA) levels and their online purchasing intentions (OPI) while examining the mediating role of attitudes towards online advertisements (ATOA) in this relationship. Additionally, the study aims to explore whether the demographic characteristics of consumers influence their levels of SMA, ATOA, and OPI. An online questionnaire consisting of the ATOA, SMA, OPI scales and demographic characteristics was shared with 402 participants using convenience sampling. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling were applied to the data. T-tests, ANOVA, Levene, Tukey, and Tamhane T2 tests were used for difference analysis. According to the results, social media addiction positively affects the attitude towards online advertising and purchase intention. There is a partial mediating effect of the attitude towards online advertising in the effect of social media addiction on online purchase intention. Discriminant analysis results show that social media addiction is higher among single students between 18 and 25. While the attitude of young and single students towards online advertisements is more positive, the attitude towards online advertisements is more negative in consumers aged 36 and over compared to other consumers. Online purchase intention is higher in female consumers with a bachelor's degree or higher education level and lower in consumers over 36 years of age with a low-income level. Thus, it is recommended that practitioners focus on this target group in online advertising.
