Critical thinking is necessary not only to understand the academic content, but also to effectively carry out activities related to one’s own profession. The aim of the research was to identify the level of critical thinking in university students and to determine the influence of selected variables on the level of critical thinking. The variables were gender, age, use of the media, necessity of the media, up-to-date information, up-to-date professional information, and health information on the Internet. Fifty respondents studying at university participated in the research. Both bachelor’s and master’s students at the age of 21 to 36 were involved in the study. In order to achieve the set goal, an quantitative approach was adopted using a critical thinking test (Criticatl Thinking Test for university Students - CTTUS) as a research technique. Descriptive, inductive and multivariate statistics were applied for the data analysis. Age and gender emerged as important factors. Information literacy, which can significantly affect the level of critical thinking, can also be an important factor in the education of pupils and students. Finally, the study limitations are presented.

A growing body of research has focused on understanding the nature of psychological safety (PS) and recognizing factors contributing to it. Psychological safety describes an individual’s perceptions of the consequences of taking interpersonal risks in a particular context. This study aimed to examine the following research questions: What is the level of PS among Indian school teachers? What are the factors affecting the PS of teachers? And what type of support is expected by teachers to enhance their PS? A mixed-method approach was used to find the answers to these research questions. Neuroception of psychological safety scale (NPSS) by Morton et al. (2021) was used to collect quantitative data from four different districts of Punjab state of India. The focus group technique was used to collect qualitative data. Participants for this study were selected using convenient and purposive sampling. Quantitative data for this study was drawn from 100 school teachers and for qualitative data, 10 participants with extremely low scores and 10 participants with extremely high scores on NPSS were selected for two focus groups to find out the factors contributing to PS of teachers. The results showed that Indian school teachers had an average level of PS. The findings also implied the importance of PS for teachers and revealed that organizational culture, leadership, and teamwork are important factors contributing to PS for teachers.

The relationship between education, profession and social status in the modern global world is not obvious. A high level of education does not guarantee a professional career. The discrepancy between professional education and occupation is especially acute in the field of customer service. On the one hand, it reduces the quality of services provided and, on the other hand, causes tension among workers of this industry. The aim of the research is to study educational values, the choice of an educational trajectory and professional self-determination of modern working-class youth in the service industry. The article is based on the materials of an empirical study using quantitative and qualitative sociological methods: a mass survey of working-class youth in the Ural Federal District and a biographical interview, the informants of which are employed in the real sector of the economy and the service sector. The contradictory attitude of young service workers to education was revealed: not seeing the connection between the level and quality of education and the characteristics of their own life, young people are confident in the value of education and maintain a respectful attitude towards educated people. The personal significance of education for the new generation of working-class youth is small; the social prestige of education does not in any way affect personal life plans, including the professional choice. The established relationships between the educational and professional choice of working-class youth - the basic layer of the social structure of any society - can be used to organize vocational guidance work in secondary school, and can be in demand by the state and regional authorities of vocational education.

The aim of this study was to validate of the Russian version of the Child Behaviour Motivation Scale (CBeMO). The tool is designed to assess learning motivation in preschool and primary school children. Fifty-nine educators participated in the study and completed the CBeMO scales individually for each child in the older groups with whom they had worked for at least 4 months. The total sample consisted of 754 children aged 5-6 years. An internal consistency analysis of the scales indicated a high level of unidimensionality across all scales of the instrument (“Task Orientation”, “Task Avoidance”, and “Social Orientation”). Confirmatory analysis confirmed the consistency of the empirical data with the theoretical model of the questionnaire. The actual structure of the data obtained on the Russian sample, as determined by factor analysis, except for one item, is identical to the original configuration of the scales. Therefore, no additional procedures are required to improve the Russian version of the questionnaire and no measures of cultural adaptation are required for the further use of the Russian version of the questionnaire. In addition to the assessment of psychometric properties, an analysis was carried out to determine the role of age, gender, intelligence and language environment in children's learning motivation. The article presents the results of the analysis, suggestions for their interpretation, and promising directions for further research.

Digitization of everyday life has a fundamental influence on communications, information perceiving and thinking styles of modern generation students. The study of issues of emotional well-being in the student body is particularly significant today, because of increasing desocialization of young people. The aim of the paper is to implement and evaluates the effectiveness of the educational module for the development of emotional intelligence of the 1st year students of engineering Universities. The authors developed the educational module “Emotional intelligence”. The assessment of an empirical research using diagnostic tools of N. Hall’s test of emotional intelligence and the scale of emotional intelligence by D.V. Lyusin conducted on a sample of students (N=174) of engineering majors of Tomsk Polytechnic University. The results showed that most part of them has low and medium (closer to the lower border) levels of EQ. Positive dynamics were observed after studying the educational module. The quantitative indicator reflecting the number of students with a low level decreased two times, and the proportion of students with a high level of EQ increased from 2.9% to 11.1%. The maximum growth was noted for “empathy”, “recognition and understanding of emotions of others” (Hall’s test) and “interpersonal emotional intelligence” (D.V. Lyusin’s scale) indicators. The practically significant result is that development of the level of EQ will contribute to better adaptation in the educational space of the engineering University. The findings will be used for further scientific research to improve the educational paths of digital generation students.

In the modern rapidly changing world, there is a change in value orientations and educational paradigms, socio-economic, political, liberal-social and scientific conditions. These processes also affect the training system for working with different categories of children, including those with mental retardation. The purpose of this work is to study, analyze and objectively compare the structure of training bachelors who are capable of creating special conditions for education and upbringing for children with mental retardation, to identify common elements of this training. The study of the domestic practice of training specialists for working with persons with mental retardation is important for concretizing the content of specialized education. The study used a comparative analysis of training profiles in the framework of defectological, psychological-pedagogical and pedagogical training areas. At the same time, the authors also analyzed the main professional educational programs and work programs of specialized disciplines aimed at preparing defectologists, teachers and psychologists to work with children with impaired mental function. The study expanded the understanding of the dependence of the structure and content of personnel training for working with children with mental retardation on future areas of professional activity; the influence of research results, concepts of leading scientists who advocate the priority of defectologists in teaching and upbringing of children with mental retardation. Based on the results of the study, a versatile description of the structure of training psychological, pedagogical and defectological personnel was obtained by identifying factors that can affect the organization of optimal profile training for bachelors. The authors declare the idea of a specialized professional defectological education of teachers who are ready to work with children with mental retardation. The obtained research results can be used to design training modules in the structure of courses, the content of which maximally effectively ensures the formation of core competencies for working with children with mental retardation.

According to data of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, various forms of violations of human behavior are seen in the education and youth environment, including through immersion in destructive ideologies on the Internet. These data write down the need to study the factors affecting the psychological safety of the environment, especially the educational and youth environment (students and schoolchildren). In this regard, the purpose of the study is to identify the influence of social, psychological and organizational factors on the psychological safety of the educational environment. The study was conducted based on big data analysis of 164 schools. They include data from schools on the following indicators: “suicides”, “suicide attempts”, “crimes”, “psychological competencies of managers”, “staff turnover”, etc. The statistical method of big data analysis is the leading one in describing the results of the study. Factor analysis was used to describe a multidimensional model of psychological safety of the educational environment. A two-sample F-test was used to compare the sample populations. The results of the study allowed us to identify factors influencing the psychological safety of the educational environment: high turnover of teaching staff, lack of psychological competencies in the administration of educational organizations, the number of suicidal attempts, a large number of representations of the prosecutor's office, etc. The results of the study made it possible to form instructions to the executive authorities of the Republic of Tatarstan signed by the President of the Republic of Tatarstan – Chairman of the Anti-Terrorist Commission in the Republic of Tatarstan. The instructions are aimed at improving the effectiveness of the psychological service in education; the formation of psychological competencies of key managers responsible for the organization of psychological, social and educational activities; the inclusion in the job descriptions of key managers responsible for the organization of psychological, social and educational activities of new labor functions for the formation of psychological security of the educational environment, as well as the identification and support of students in need of socio-psychological support.

Purpose. The word ‘pandemic’ reminds us of the disaster it has created in the world. The present paper aims to explore the gender-based difference in happiness levels among students of Indian higher education institutions (HEIs) during the pandemic. The study elaborates on the skill to remain happy by providing a happiness model useful in curriculum modification in HEIs for better learning of students. Design/ methodology. A self-constructed questionnaire was used to collect data from 642 respondents through purposive sampling. SPSS software was used for data analysis. Such statistical methods as independent t-test, multiple regression, and AMOS were employed for structural equation modelling. Findings. The statistical results showed no significant difference in the levels of happiness between the male and female students. Physical, psychological, social, and financial factors and semester stress were found to contribute to the happiness of students, and gender had a significant impact on physical, financial, and semester stress. Finally, a happiness model was developed. Originality. This research presents a model with five major contributing factors to happiness during the pandemic for students in Indian HEIs. The impact of gender on overall happiness and its contributing factors were also studied. Research limitation. The study should be expanded in terms of data collection, reaching more regions of India and outside to generalise the results. Practical implication. The outcomes that emerged from the study can be incorporated into the curriculum to prioritise happiness and improve students’ learning. Social Implication.

{"title":"Happiness: A New Perspective Contributing Towards Learning for Post-Pandemic Higher Educational Institutions","authors":"Singh Anjali Devvrat, H. Gujral, N. J. Bhatt","doi":"10.26907/esd.17.4.05","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26907/esd.17.4.05","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose. The word ‘pandemic’ reminds us of the disaster it has created in the world. The present paper aims to explore the gender-based difference in happiness levels among students of Indian higher education institutions (HEIs) during the pandemic. The study elaborates on the skill to remain happy by providing a happiness model useful in curriculum modification in HEIs for better learning of students. Design/ methodology. A self-constructed questionnaire was used to collect data from 642 respondents through purposive sampling. SPSS software was used for data analysis. Such statistical methods as independent t-test, multiple regression, and AMOS were employed for structural equation modelling. Findings. The statistical results showed no significant difference in the levels of happiness between the male and female students. Physical, psychological, social, and financial factors and semester stress were found to contribute to the happiness of students, and gender had a significant impact on physical, financial, and semester stress. Finally, a happiness model was developed. Originality. This research presents a model with five major contributing factors to happiness during the pandemic for students in Indian HEIs. The impact of gender on overall happiness and its contributing factors were also studied. Research limitation. The study should be expanded in terms of data collection, reaching more regions of India and outside to generalise the results. Practical implication. The outcomes that emerged from the study can be incorporated into the curriculum to prioritise happiness and improve students’ learning. Social Implication. A modified curriculum will help students to remain happy which automatically increases learning.","PeriodicalId":37225,"journal":{"name":"Education and Self Development","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78702078","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}
