COACHING AS A CATEGORY OF PSYCHOLOGICAL STRATEGY

The development of modern society raises the issue of demand for specialists who can effectively transform a team to solve professional problems optimally. In terms of this, business management is gaining interest in technologies that are quite effective and environmentally friendly in their impact on humans, one of which is coaching technology as a psychological strategy for changing the self-awareness and orientation of a person. Based on the results of research by scholars D. Whitmore, S. and O. Shevchuk, O. Nezhynska and V. Tymenko, coaching is presented as a method of conscious learning that results in a change in the client's consciousness, in particular, affects his or her ability to set goals and implement them in all spheres of life, to acquire internal locus control (a quality that determines one's own responsibility for everything that happens to a person in his or her life), to be the author of one's own life. The philosophy of coaching is based on the principles of equality, faith in a person, lack of expert assessment and instruction, holistic approach, monitoring and feedback, unity and interconnection of all spheres of the client's life and is represented in the content of the activities of a number of organisations that set the standards for professional coaching. The basic principles of coaching based on the GROW model (four stages of working with the client's consciousness) are outlined: Goal, Reality, Options, and Way Forward, which is actualised through variable formulations of questions, answering which a person determines the goal and the way forward. A comparative analysis of coaching and other types of influence on a personality with the aim of its improvement: training, counselling, mentoring, is carried out, which leads to the conclusion that coaching is similar to psychotherapy in terms of achieving goals. The article also focuses on the discussion regarding the integration of the expert and coach functions of modern popular bloggers.

FORMATION OF THE NATURAL AND SCIENTIFIC WORLDVIEW OF FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS AS A FACTOR OF INNOVATING THEIR PROFESSIONAL AND PEDAGOGICAL ACTIVITY

The paper reveals the results of the analysis of the scientific fund on the problem of forming the natural and scientific worldview of future primary school teachers in the projection of innovating their professional and pedagogical activity. It has been proven that the formation of a natural-scientific worldview among future primary school teachers activates the evidential and convincing disclosure of the role of man in the cognition of the phenomenology of “nature” and the integrity of its perception. It has been determined that the formation of the natural and scientific worldview of future primary school teachers lays the foundation for the formation of students’ natural worldview and scientific thinking style. According to the results of the study of scientific sources, it was revealed that the activation of the innovative character and the preparation of teachers of primary education for innovative pedagogical activity, the expression of advanced innovative and methodological approaches, laws and regularities, technologies and teaching methods that produce development skills of independent and creative thinking of schoolchildren, the potential for new discoveries and problem solving with a fundamentally new perspective, stimulation of their initiative, desire to change the world around them are among the leading ideas of the Concept of the New Ukrainian School. It has been proven that the innovativeness of the training of future primary school teachers should be strengthened by the formation of their natural and scientific worldview, because the powerful potential of knowledge about nature and the surrounding world is a mechanism for forming the correct worldview position of students about the value of nature, land, ecology and sustainable development of society. The natural-scientific worldview of a primary school teacher is interpreted as a synthetic construct, distinguished by a complex dynamic character; which organizes and synthesizes the teacher’s systematic knowledge in the field of primary education methodology, their ability to use the mechanisms of natural didactics and methodological principles of scientific cognition; reflects the ability for reflective self-creation in intellectual and mental activity, ensures the formation of stable skills of critical analysis of the pedagogical reality phenomena in the context of natural didactics; emphasizes the synthesis of internalized knowledge from the natural sciences as general cultural values. According to the results of the diagnostic testing, a significant interest of the students of the specialty 013 (Primary education) of the first (bachelor) level of higher education in the natural and scientific worldview was recorded. At the same time, students’ motivation to understand the role of a holistic natural and scientific picture of the world, both their own and that of primary schoolchildren, turned out to be active.

TECHNOLOGICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF STRUCTURE OF A MODERN LECTURE CLASS

Improving the quality of higher pedagogical education is an urgent need and social demand of society, as emphasized in the Concept of Development of Pedagogical Education, the Strategy for the Development of Higher Education of Ukraine for 2022–2032, and the Standards and Recommendations for Ensuring the Quality of Higher Education in the European Space. These regulatory documents emphasize the importance of rethinking and updating traditional approaches to the forms and methods of organizing the educational process in higher education institutions. One of the key forms that is undergoing transformations in the context of modern educational needs and tasks is the lecture. For centuries, it has remained the main means of directly transmitting information from the teacher to the higher education student, serving as a key educational tool in the educational process. It has been proven that the technological and methodological aspects of constructing a lecture class are a central topic for reforming the higher education system. Attention to interactivity, digitalization, structure, a personal approach, and dialogicity ensures an increase in the quality of learning, in accordance with the requirements of modern society and standards of educational activity. The purpose of the article is to highlight the technological and methodological aspects and features of the design and application of lecture classes in the process of professional training of future teachers in the conditions of study at a pedagogical university. The article describes the main functions of a modern lecture, identifies the reasons for the urgent need to revise the functions and modernize the technological and methodological support of a lecture in a modern higher education institution, and identifies the directions of such modernization. The technological and methodological tools for designing and constructing modern lecture classes, which meet the current requirements of an innovative educational environment, are presented in detail. In particular, the principles of structuring lecture material, integrating modern technologies, and introducing interactive and personally oriented methods into the educational process are considered.

THE EFFECT OF THE WAR ON THE ATTITUDES OF COLLEGE STUDENTS TOWARDS LEARNING FOREIGN LANGUAGES

February 24th, 2022 marks a significant date in the modern history of Ukraine, bringing about a radical change in the lives of millions of people living in the country. This was the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war. A state of martial law was immediately introduced in the country, which remains in effect to this day. Education took place under extremely tense circumstances, first online, then in person at the Ferenc Rákóczi II Transcarpathian Hungarian College of Higher Education in Transcarpathia, the westernmost region of Ukraine. The students of the college were affected by daily air raid alerts, the stress of evacuating to shelters and continuing their studies there, as well as an average of 11-16-hour daily power outages during the time of our research. Therefore, the primary goal of our study was to gain insight into the students' emotional state and better understand their feelings about the war. We created an online questionnaire, which was completed by 194 students from 17 different programs at our college. The questionnaire included a block about students' feelings towards the war, listing 16 Likert-scale questions. The other block consisted of 18 Likert-type statements where students had to indicate how much they agreed or disagreed with them. These questions asked about students' attitudes towards foreign language learning (English and German) during the war. Therefore, the other main goal of the research was to find out how this difficult period affected their attitude towards language learning and what challenges they had to face. The results showed that in the initial stages of the first year of the war, students were quite worried about its outcome. However, they were optimistic and hopeful about the future of their country. In addition, the students did everything they could to cope with their academic tasks under these trying circumstances. On the other hand, some students admitted being demotivated. A positive finding of the research was that a significant proportion of students stated that the written feedback provided by teachers in Google Classroom about their academic performance had a clearly positive impact on them.
