Introduction. Metacognition is essential for developing clinical thinking skills. Metacognitive skills are widely regarded as important for doctors, but they are rarely formed and evaluated in higher medical school. To solve this problem, it is required to determine how the cognitive, regulatory and reflexive indicators of metacognitive awareness in doctors change throughout their professional life. This work aims to study the metacognitive awareness of doctors at different stages of professional education. Methods. The study involved 1st-year students of the Department of General Medicine (N=48), medical residents (N=44), and doctors enrolled in advanced training cycles (N=34) of the Yaroslavl State Medical University. To study the cognitive, regulatory and reflexive indicators of metacognitive awareness, the following methods were used: "Metacognitive Awareness Inventory" (G. Schraw, R. Dennison, adaptation by E.Yu. Savin, A.E. Fomin), "Assessment of metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive activity" (Yu.V. Poshekhonova, M.M. Kashapov), "Methodology of the level of expression and direction of reflection" (M. Grant). Research results. Significant differences were revealed in metacognitive awareness indicators at the initial and final stages of higher education (U=800.0, p≤0.05). According to the results of the study, it was found that the higher the stage of higher professional education is, the higher is the ability to manage information (U=783.0, p≤0.05), choose the main ideas (U=800.0, p≤0.05) and control errors (U=790.0, p≤0.05). Moreover, indicators of socio-reflection are more pronounced (U=702.5, p≤0.01). The doctors enrolled in further education courses have a high level of metacognition. The significant differences were found in terms of the following indicators: metacognitive knowledge (U=309.5, p≤0.001), metacognitive activity (U=295.5, p≤0.001), concentration (U=417.5, p≤0.001), acquisition of information (U=275.5, p≤0.001), choice of main ideas (U=528.5, p≤0.05), and time management (U=338.0, p≤0.001). There are no significant differences in the reflexive component of the metacognitive awareness of doctors at the stage of additional professional education and the final stage of higher education. Conclusion. All indicators of metacognitive awareness among doctors are formed at the stage of higher education. The reflexive component of metacognitive awareness helps to adapt to the changing conditions of obtaining additional professional education. Metacognitive awareness, with the help of which doctors are aware of their own thoughts and use the best ways to solve problematic situations, allows them to cope with difficulties in the learning process and in professional activity.

This article presents the results of a comparison between two questionnaires about regulation activities related to studying in higher education. The questionnaire developed within a different educational setting appears to be less discriminative and predictive than an equally developed local version. Due to cultural bias, the external regulation activities cause the main difference. Nevertheless, the factorial structure of the regulation activity scales seems to be invariant over different domains of study within the same educational setting. The bias in the assessment of regulation activities is significantly stronger in the group of students with the lower and medium level of general thinking skills. Furthermore, we found that a higher level of regulation skills can compensate for a lower level of general thinking skills. Evidence is discussed that the specificity of metacognitive skills about studying is domain-independent, but situation-bounded.

The issues of the formation of a professional, the features of the manifestation of a human person in his/her professional activity, the interconnection and interdependence of human life and the scope of his professional activity are extremely relevant in the 21st century. The article analyzes the problem of forming the value attitude in students to the humanitarian component of professional training and professional culture of the personality of future specialists in engineering and technical profile at the present stage of development of higher professional education in Ukraine in the context of its integration into the global educational space. At the end of the twentieth century, it became customary to consider almost the only function of technical education - the training of a specialist capable of performing specific production tasks. However, modern production requires engineering and technical specialists to perform atypical functions in the past, requires a rethinking of many of the former and the creation of new world outlooks and values, without which the revival and existence of society is impossible. High-quality training of engineering workers cannot be limited to the purely technical cycle of training subjects. Life and modern production requires an engineer to have knowledge on social and humanitarian subjects, knowledge from areas related to engineering and technical training, computer technology, as well as knowledge of his/her native language and knowledge of foreign languages as well. The authors believe that one of the main tasks of the higher education system is purposeful work on the formation of a professional culture of future specialists, and the formation of a value-based attitude to the humanitarian aspects of life and professional activity is an integral part of this culture. However, professional culture is a complex multilateral construct, the formation of which begins on the university bench and continues throughout life. In the framework of professional training in a higher education institution, we can only talk about laying the foundations of such a personal construct. Consequently, the need to form a new social environment, to develop such priorities of social development, where the main element is the person himself, has become obvious and universally recognized in the world today. Keywords: value attitude, humanitarian component of professional training, professional culture of a specialist, activity, axiological and cultural studies approaches, personality-oriented model of higher education, professional training

<p>Children often have difficulty in reporting their metacognitive functioning, which leads them to frequently overrating themselves under learning situations. Hence, this study presents a preliminary approach of how children's awareness of their own metacognitive knowledge (MK) and metacognitive skills (MS) can be measured. Essentially, this study aims to understand how children (<em>n</em> =1029) report their metacognitive functioning. In a first analysis, PCA revealed an initial two-factor structure of the instrument (MK and MS). Item Response Theory was then used to analyse the unidimensionality of each dimension and the interactions between participants and items. Results revealed good item reliability for MK (.93) and MS (.80), and an average person reliability (.67) for MK and MS (.78) with good Cronbach's <em>α</em> for MK (.84) and MS (.91). These results show the potential of the instrument, as well as a tendency of children to overrate their metacognitive functioning. Implications for researchers and practitioners are discussed.</p>
