CONTEMPORARY PROBLEMS OF DISTANCE COURSE IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM OF RUSSIA 

In the article, three interrelated problems that are directly or indirectly implemented in the process data, are identified on the basis of a very thoughtful analysis and generalization of various data on the features of distance course of the higher education system of Russia. First, it is a cultural and psychological problem. Secondly, it is methodical, thirdly – administrative and organizational. Based on the generalization of the available data, some aspects of solving these problems are revealed in the work. The main focus is on the choice of the most demanded disciplines, for example, English and others. At the same time, it indicates a high activity of enthusiasts, professionals who develop online courses. The concepts of hybrids of such courses are introduced, since different software programs are used in their development. There is a lack of financial and resource support in creating online courses, as well as realization time. This article does not claim to be a comprehensive disclosure of the problem; it only gives some initial data that can serve as the beginning of a more in-depth study of this topic.

INTRODUCING CERTAIN ELEMENTS OF PROJECT-BASED LEARNING INTO UKRANIAN TRANSLATION PROGRAMS

The article deals with the urgency of introduction of project-based learning in the Translation Programs of Ukrainian universities and discusses some directions for the introduction of project-based learning (PBL) in terms of translator’s competences as defined by the European Competence Framework for translation programs. The article offers a review of John Dewey’s theory of Project-Based Learning (PBL) and suggests some ways of how to incorporate its elements into the university Translation programs and how the European requirements for MA in Translation can help to determine the directions for the development of the elements of the PBL in Translation Programs. In the framework of the theoretical study, we carried out the review of various sources dealing with the PBL and reviewed the EMT requirements in Ukrainian context.

STATOKINETIC STABILITY AND OTHER PHYSICAL QUALITIES OF  THE SPORTSMEN-BEGINNERS 

The article examines the empirical studies of the influence of increasing statokinetic stability on other physical qualities of 6-7 years-old sportsmen of the initial training group. The relevance of the work is determined by the significant rejuvenation of many sports and the need to increase statokinetic stability in young school age, which is sensitive to increase this important quality where the basic static, dynamic and spatiotemporal parameters of children's movements are formed. The static and dynamic balance indicators after dosed vestibular irritations were used to determine statokinetic  stability and how they affect the flexibility, agility, speed, strength and static endurance, and speed and physical qualities of children. Although, statokinetic stability and almost all other physical qualities were low before the pedagogical experiment. All the physical qualities of sportsmen, both girls and boys, significantly improved after a six-month experiment. All beginning sportsmen showed good and excellent results, both statokinetic stability, and other physical qualities, except the speed and physical qualities of boys who showed average (satisfactory) estimates, according to state standards. It is also important that sportsmen who systematically attended training stopped being sick. The results of the study may be useful for coaches of primary school sportsmen and physical education teachers in general schools.

SELF-ESTEEM OF EMOTIONAL STATE AND ANXIETY LEVEL  OF MEDICAL STUDENT’S PERSONALITY 

The ecological environment, which includes the psychological sphere, is one of the key factors in the study of the social and professional maturity of the modern student. This study highlights the monitoring of student’s self-esteem of emotional state and anxiety level. The methods “Self-esteem of Emotional State” of Wessman A. & Rix D. and Taylor G. “Manifest Anxiety Scale” (with modification Norakidze V.), theoretical, empirical and statistical methods of research were used. The coefficient of determination showed that the model is suitable for practical application, as the resultant property is explained by the influence of the factor's characteristic. The high student’s self-esteem of emotional state influenced by the external factors, was followed by certain anxiety level.  The research indicated the empirical connection between self-esteem of emotional state, anxiety level and influence of social factors. That’s created a background for further studying of this psychological circle.
