QUESTIONS OF KNOWLEDGE OR INFORMATION CONCEPT OF THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: PHILOSOPHICAL VIEW ON THE ISSUE

Popova A. V.                                                     DOI: 10.31862/2218-8711-2022-2-9-20

Abstract. 

Paying special attention to the conceptual differences between the definitions of “knowledge” and “information”, the author of the article states that the main peculiarity of information is that it is relatively objectified while knowledge is always subjective. Knowledge depends directly on the individual cognitive abilities and, first of all, on the ethical component of the subject who accumulates it basing on the information received. It is concluded that at the present stage of the development of digital technologies, “knowledge” should be used in two main meanings – epistemological and technological. Within the framework of the technological knowledge, information is transformed into relatively formalized knowledge created by a programmer basing on their value preferences and invested by them in the AI knowledge base, which is used to solve a specific task. It is concluded that the formation of genuine knowledge based on the AI that exists today is impossible; however, given the technological progress of the future, the question remains open and requires new research.

ETHNOMATHEMATICS: SOCIO-CULTURAL AND PSYCHOLINGUISTIC ASPECTS

Yashin B. L.                                                     DOI: 10.31862/2218-8711-2022-2-21-33

Abstract. 

The article reveals the role of socio-cultural and psycholinguistic approaches in confirming the presence of a variety of mathematicians that appear in each culture as a sign system, with their own practices and rules for operating with language signs, which requires the mathematician to be included in a certain language game. The article substantiates the importance of research in the field of ethnomathematics, which indicates that the “first”, “experienced” mathematicians of different cultures differ from each other in the ways of expressing quantitative and relational relations, as well as spatial forms of the real world in the language. It is shown that ethnomathematics defends the idea of the existence of a variety of different-shaped mathematics, which are the product of various cognitive and instrumental practices that are characteristic of a certain social group, a specific culture. The proposal is discussed to consider some of the ideas and results of the concept of “language games” by L. Wittgenstein, which are related to mathematics, as a contribution to the development of the normative concept of mathematics. The importance of the normative approach to mathematics and possible difficulties in its use are noted.

Keywords

International students make an invaluable social, cultural and economic contribution to the development of the UK. The UK government has made it clear that universities that aspire to become global institutions will always be open to international students. This has helped realize many of the economic benefits that education exports have brought to the UK. Despite the global pandemic, the UK has made great strides in realizing the goals outlined in the original International Education Strategy.

ACADEMIC PERFECTIONISM OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN ONLINE ENGLISH LEARNING 

Filyasova Yu. A.                                            DOI: 10.31862/2218-8711-2022-2-141-155

Abstract.  

This paper aims to study forms and causes of academic perfectionism in the context of distance learning on the material of a student survey on the benefits and drawbacks of learning the English language in an online group setting. Methods of research included opinion categorization, content-analysis and quantitative calculation. The results of opinion analysis showed that distance leaning of English creates conditions for developing academic perfectionism, which is expressed through generation of personal intentions to significantly enhance one’s language skills. However, under the conditions of social distance and mediated communication, social interactions become distorted, personal mindset changes, academic motivation decreases, the correlation between the social and individual “I” is modified, the social component in the personal structure is reduced. Academic perfectionism acquires negative signs of procrastination, criticism, lowered performance efficiency, and increased role of a rigid individual personal construct. The intensity of foreign communicative competence development plummets in the distance learning context in comparison with face-to-face training in a group setting due to the lack of organizational and methodological instructions from the teacher’s behalf, time-limits, increased amount of written tasks, limited spoken communication, lowered student involvement in the lesson activity. Learning English as a foreign language implies interactive student work, social roles assumption, and solving communicative tasks during active communication. The most vulnerable aspect of the language activity is speaking, which is only possible through interactive communication; however, it becomes less efficient in distance learning owing to the lack of non-verbal behavior observation and knowledge of social and psychological state of communicants. The online education organization was rather complicated due to problems with the individual technical equipment, an insufficient amount of time for each student, difference in digital levels of students and instructors as program users, mediated communication, psychological distancing and conventionality of social interaction in virtual reality.

Abstract.  

The article deals with an important to-date issue of the vocational guidance of secondary school students. According to numerous surveys and studies, the secondary school students have almost no knowledge about the real needs and existing demand in the labor market. This is followed by a random choice of profession, which entails wasting energy with unclear results, which further leads to unnecessary loss of time and deterioration of the student’s self-esteem. Considerable attention in the article is paid to the realization of the information approach to organizing the career guidance activities in the propaedeutic course of physics in grades 5–6. The practical significance of the article lies in the fact that it considers the creation of a virtual career guidance excursion to acquaint students with reliable information about modern professions, educational institutions and organizations that provide jobs, the needs of the modern labor market.

TEAChING ENGLISH WITH THE HELP OF THE “MOODLE” ON-LINE SERVICE

Sharipova F. I.                                         DOI10.31862/2218-8711-2022-2-262-274

Abstract.  

The article provides a scientific rationale for the possibility of using the online service Moodle (mobile version) in English classes at medical schools. The author investigates the possibility of using mobile learning when teaching English in medical schools. Lecturers of the «Foreign languages» department and students of the «Pediatrics» faculty of Tashkent Pediatric Medical Institute took part in the study. The research tools were reviews and focus group discussions of students’ work and interviews with lecturers. The thematic analysis of the interviews showed that the lecturers were using Moodle as a way to minimize distance learning, to compensate students’ absences due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to increase professional learning of English, and to increase motivation of underachieving students. Focus group discussions, case studies, and reviews of students’ work on the Moodle online service showed that students found this way of learning easy, interesting, and useful. According to the results, students’ online or offline participation does not affect their performance and grades, except for the question about the appropriateness of the method, while their motivation and professional interest affect their grades; at the same time the opinion of advanced students outweighs the opinion of basic students about the MOODLE online service.
