The purpose of the paper is to summarize and present teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language in higher educational institutions of Ukraine. The main focus lies in the most modern methods of teaching Ukrainian for foreign students of different nationalities who attain higher education in Ukraine. The author reviewed the development of the concepts of emotional intelligence and modern approaches to the determination of the nature and forms of manifestation of empathy in individuals. Empathy is a principal social emotion; in its most general form it is defined as the individual's ability to react emotionally and to respond to other people's experiences. The author emphasizes the feasibility of accounting empathy as part of emotional intelligence, which is key to successful study of the Ukrainian language for foreigners. The value of socio-psychological training as a means to enhance students’ empathy is proven. Emotional intelligence techniques for the formation and development of empathy culture are presented. The formation of students’ emphatically culture promotes social and psychological training, thus enhancing competence in the field of communication and interpersonal skills to acquire. Socio-psychological training covers various methods, such as business and role-playing, discussions and more. It involves the acquisition of psychological and pedagogical knowledge in communication, effective communication skills, for example, to get in touch, listen, persuade others and to form attitudes necessary for successful communication, such as readiness to consider the problem from another point of view; development of abilities of self-examination, to understand other students, and correction system of relations with the outside world. Other techniques appropriate to apply during the stimulation of student culture are widely known such as self-disclosure, emotional response, personal contact (physical, visual, verbal, plastic, object-efficient) jokes, humor and others. The latter are very effective in removing emotional stress, eliminating aggressive or sad states of stress in relationships, and help enhance mental activity. Jokes activate distraction and relax empathy. The development of emotional intelligence in the student regulates that individual’s abilities and traits that are responsible whether the impact of emotional phenomena will be constructive or destructive behavior for the student. Developing emotional intelligence is inextricably linked to the communicative approach to language learning. The teacher should provide comfortable and effective communication between students in class, using the methods above, techniques and creating a positive atmosphere that promotes cooperation and helps develop confidence in students. Holistic education must involve the unity of intellectual and emotional areas. Also, this work is devoted to the analysis of existing classifications of dialogues, consideration of advantages and disadvantages of some of their types, to the coverage of methods of extracurricular work with students, their detailed analysis, and identification of their pluses and minuses. The model of the use of more appropriate combinations of types of dialogues is presented in order to achieve the most productive result in language learning. A model of formation of foreign communicative competence is offered. The practice of the proposed methods should allow students to unleash their potential, break language barriers, expand vocabulary, improve pronunciation, and most importantly – increase self-confidence.

The Impact

Introduction. Necessity of increase of sports teams results requires from the coach to concen-trate not only on physical training of athletes, but taking into account the impact of psychological factor in training and competitive process. Despite the fact the athlete's ability to maximize their physical abilities and achieve high results in team performance are defined the level of psychological training, there is still not received a full justification both in the methodical plan, and in the theory of sports. The least studied are mental states that arise under the influence of competitive activities and lead to reduced results. There is not developed the system of psychological training of sports teams, including cheer-leading, that’s why we decided to study this problem. The purpose of the article is to develop and experimen-tally substantiate the method of increasing the psycholog-ical training of cheerleading sports team, taking into ac-count the personal characteristics and features of mental states its members. The methods of analyses, synthesis, induction, deduc-tion, comparison, abstraction, experiment are used in the article. Results. Our study was devoted to research psycho-logical states of gymnasts in preparation for competitions and the development of their emotional stability, balance, ability to behave adequately in tense and complicated situations that often occur in sports. 40 female gymnasts of the student team 17-22 years old were involved in the empirical study. According to the method of S. Rosenzweig a study of frustration reactions showed that there is a self-protective type and extra punitive direction of the reaction occurs most often among the athletes. R. Cattell's 16PF questionnaire showed a high level of emotional instability and frustration among female ath-letes. By the results of R. Cattell and G. Eisenko testing methods, only 36% of students are characterized by the ability to correctly place emphasis in a frustrating situa-tion. The practical implementation of the idea of psychologi-cal support of gymnasts in the formation of personality was represented in the form of a practical training-seminar. There were 16 classes, 3 hours a class. The seminar included elements of socio-psychological training, counseling sessions, thematic classes and other forms of work, which were implemented on the basis of an inte-grated approach. The program of the seminar included the following blocks: the ideal image of a successful athlete, the formation of emotional - volitional regulation of gym-nasts, self-knowledge of athletes and skills of value choice. Retesting after working with athletes showed that the attitude of gymnasts to difficult and stressful situations of sports has changed. The number of decisive behavioral strategies in difficult situations has increased, the number of self-defense has decreased. There is a positive trend in the number of positive emotions and experiences. The analysis of self-reports of the experimental group showed that more than 85% of respondents noted an increase in self-confidence, desire for self-development, reduced internal tensions. Originality. The understanding of the psychological training role and importance in the whole system of com-petitive training raises the coaches’ professional compe-tence and improve sports results of both individual ath-letes and sports team. Conclusion. The hypothesis was fully verified and we can approve that the emotional balance of female gym-nasts directly affects the effectiveness of sports activities and represents the systemic quality of their individuality. It is characterized by possibility of diverse changes under the influence of training and correctional programs. As a result of psycho-correctional work athletes increased the level of emotional stability, self-confidence, psychological competence, increased positive emotions, decreased ten-sion, stress. Athletes-gymnasts have acquired the skills of comprehensive analysis of complex and stressful situa-tions that may arise both in the training process and during competitions, increased the number of dominant behavioral strategies aimed at finding a constructive solution to such situations

A component of the driving evaluation in the Occupational Therapy Department at The Rehabilitation Centre is a Doron Driving Simulator. There are limited formal evaluations of simulator usefulness reported. The objective of this study was to evaluate the contribution of the Doron Driving Simulator in the driving evaluation of stroke and disabled adolescent clients. Data collected included historical information and print-outs of the simulator scores, as well as subjective information from the clients. These data were collected in two phases for 56 clients referred for a driving evaluation. Results were compared between phases and between client groups. The benefits of simulator use included appropriate assessment of driving aids, perceived improvement in client self-confidence related to driving, and scores predictive of satisfactory on road performance for each group. The major difference in the use of the simulator between client groups was that it served as a training tool for basic driving skills for the adolescents. For the stroke clients it provided a basic evaluation with little training benefit before going on the road. Less therapist time was required for effective simulator use than was initially perceived. The simulator appears to be an important adjunct to the therapists' observations and on road evaluation in the driving evaluation process.

The objective of this study is to show the links and differences in the expressions of competitive anxiety in the face of the existence of resilient resources in young athletes, according to sporting (years of experience) and personal (gender) characteristics. To meet these aims, the participants answered the Resilience Scale (RS-14) and the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2R (CSAI-2R). The sample consisted of 241 adolescent handball and basketball players between 14 and 17 years old. Different analyses were performed, including a differential and multivariate descriptive, a correlation, and a multiple regression. The results showed that anxiety was negatively related to resilience in its acceptance dimension. It was shown that girls showed higher levels of somatic anxiety, while boys showed higher levels of acceptance. Statistically significant differences were found in the resources for acceptance in favor of boys, while there were significantly different indicators in somatic anxiety and self-confidence in favor of girls. The sports experience was positively related to resilience and negatively to anxiety. Although the existence of indicators of cognitive anxiety (e.g., recurrent thoughts or rhyming), coaches and athletes need to understand that they are also indicators of a necessary activation for psychological functioning. Channeling such a process through psychological training of different skills will enhance the capacities for self-confidence.

Virtual Reality (VR) is a powerful education/training tool, and its interactive immersive environment is particularly suitable for the illustration of complex concepts involving spatial relationships. Although many virtual reality applications have been developed for education and training, the wide spread use of this technology has been primarily limited by the high cost of VR systems. We have developed VRSEMLAB, a low cost VR application to teach the complex subject of semiconductor device physics to undergraduate students. VRSEMLAB demonstrates an effective method for using virtual reality to model complex 3D systems in an experimental environment free of concerns of physical safety, equipment limitations, and size limitations.

<p>Currently, great emphasis is placed on the development and intervention of psychology in sports in order to address the problem of athletes’ failure to achieve peak performance in actual competitions. This problem is primarily due to internal factors, such as anxieties, as well as external factors, such as the high pressure of the competitive environments athletes encounter. In this study, the cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety and self confidence levels amongst elite and sub-elite Malaysian volleyball players are defined (male sample n = 50; female sample n = 35; age range between 17 to 25 years). These parameters were measured using the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory (CSAI-2), in which the questionnaires were completed by all respondents 30 minutes prior to the start of a competition. The findings indicated that there was a significant difference (p &lt; 0.005) in cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety and self-confidence among elite and sub-elite Malaysian (male and female) volleyball athletes. According to the findings, the competitive anxiety levels of the sub-elite athletes were higher than the elite, mainly due to the inability of the sub-elite athletes to control their emotions using psychological skills. In order to minimize this problem, a novel approach that involves using virtual reality to reduce the athletes’ competitive anxiety was proposed. This approach utilizes a 3D immersive environment that was developed based on the challenging real-world situations encountered during a volleyball match. The design and development of this approach is predicted to enhance athletes’ psychological skills, and in turn ensure that they can achieve peak performance under high pressure conditions.</p>
