STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION IN DEVELOPING TRANSLATION COMPETENCE

SUMMARY:

Students’ language learning motivation is an important factor to ensure the quality of higher education in Ukraine in the context of its integration into the European Higher Education Area. The present study reveals the findings that showcase both pedagogical and psychological factors influencing students’ foreign language learning motivation in translation competence. The authors used a set of basic theoretical research methods to analyze, synthetize and classify scientific and methodological sources on the research problem; empirical methods of questionnaire surveys with direct and indirect questioning to represent learning motivational characteristics, statistical analysis to summarize the research results. Both psychological and pedagogical diagnostics of the socially heterogeneous respondents’ motivation made it possible to determine the external socio-cultural and internal self-concept motives in their self-improvement and self-regulated learning. It is established that the respondents’ external motives have arisen due to such stimulating factors as "competitive advantage in the labor market" and "career growth potential". Internal motives are mainly related to the satisfaction of a student’s personal needs in the foreign language learning (interest, awareness of the insufficient level of communicative competence, internal belief in the need for self-improvement of foreign language translation skills, etc.). Analysis of the diagnostics results provided an opportunity to distinguish the obstacles to the self-development of respondents in translation education. Experimental testing of the learning motivation within the internal and external mediation allowed to reveal the dominance of internal motives over external ones in all categories of respondents. Insufficient or low level of independent self-regulated learning has been identified as the main obstacle to self-improvement of foreign language translation competence. The paper contributes to the current understanding of translation education, especially in the context of Ukraine, by investigating factors influencing students’ learning motives and their pedagogical and theoretical implications.

KEYWORDS:

external and internal motives, self-improvement, foreign language translation competence, social characteristics of respondents.

CULTURAL COMPETENCE AS ONE OF THE KEY COMPETENCIES
IN THE RENEWAL UKRAINIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM

SUMMARY:

The aim of the article is to specify the content of cultural competence and the expected results of its development in the context of basic secondary education. Cultural competence as the educational term was first defined in the Law “On Education” in Ukraine (2017) and in the State Standard of the Basic Secondary Education (2020) for the 5th - 12th classes1 . The article specifies the process of cultural competence attainment and the expected learning outcomes. The results of the study are formulated based on a logical-semantic analysis and structural-functional clarification of the cultural competence essence, separation of its structural components, and interpretation of the provisions of adopted Regulation documents, Standards, and Recommendations on Education Policy, as well as a reflective analysis of research results on the concept of cultural competence in national and international researches. The cultural competence of a person is manifested in the form of a core competence that allows him or her to independently understand and freely use at his or her discretion the whole range of acquired competencies and expertise in socio-cultural and general, institutional and conventional norms and regulators of behavior in mobile social communication, including in different languages. Scientific discussion of the competence concept is an up-to-date issue due to the reformation of the Ukrainian educational system, according to the world model.

KEYWORDS:
