The article discusses a current issue of college of arts students' readiness for the professional work with gifted children. The article outlines a range of problems of gifted students in the field of music education, including difficulties in adapting to traditional teaching methods, emotional vulnerability, difficulties in communication and mutual understanding of the child with peers, and other peculiarities of the psyche. The author highlights the concept of "abnotivity" as a necessary quality of the teacher’s personality, motivated to work with gifted children, able to arrange special conditions for this and achieve productive results: to educate the personality of a musician with strong subjectivity, creativity, and uniqueness. The structure of the teacher’s abnotivity is defined. It contains motivational, cognitive, and reflexive components, as well as such complex psychological formations as empathy, social intelligence, actual creativity, and supra-situational activity. The advantages of various practice-oriented learning models used in colleges are revealed. The author presents a practice-oriented model of forming abnotivity in students of the college of arts. A brief description of the proposed model components (target, diagnostic, procedural and performance-evaluation blocks), the features of its implementation in Saratov Regional College of Arts, and the results obtained during the experimental study are given.

Background and Hypothesis: At the graduate and professional level, computer-aided instruction demonstrated a positive impact on knowledge gains when supplementing traditional teaching methods (Wilson et al). The present research sought to determine the efficacy of supplementing traditional pedagogical methods in an undergraduate anatomy lab with VH Dissector Software (VHD) on a large touchscreen terminal. Experimental Design or Project Methods: Throughout Basic Human Anatomy (ANAT-A215), students took a pre-quiz before covering a topic followed by a post-quiz in the next class. Using VHD was the intervention, while using the traditional lab manual, models, and two prosected cadavers was the control. The mean difference between pre-test and post-test scores was calculated. Independent Samples T Tests compared the mean difference between intervention and control groups. Post-course surveys were obtained. Calculations were made of frequencies for each question and Spearman Rho correlations between questions. Results: There was significant improvement in scores with the intervention (versus control) in the Spring 2019 semester (Meanintervention = 1.13, Meancontrol = 0.92, P <0.01). In the post-course survey, 54.1% of students indicated that they would not recommend using VHD in future semesters. Among these students, 50.1% stated they did not find VHD beneficial, 34% stated VHD helped to rotate structures, and 23.4% stated VHD was a change of pace from other lab responsibilities. Among the students that recommend using VHD, 64.8% stated VHD helped to rotate structures, 51.4% stated VHD provided context for what they saw on models, and 48.9% stated that VHD was a change of pace from other lab responsibilities. A significant correlation was found between enjoying use of the VHD and perception of learning using VHD (r = 0.794, P <0.01) Conclusion and Potential Impact: These results indicate a benefit to supplementing traditional anatomy learning modalities with dissection software at the undergraduate level. Yet, while students recognize a benefit, they often recommended not using the tech in future semesters.

The aim of the article is to determine the features of learning to write in the conditions of autonomous learning of professionally oriented English communication and to create a system of exercises and tasks for autonomous formation of professionally oriented English competence in writing for future teachers of Mathematics. The study results showed that autonomous formation of professionally oriented English competence in writing is a type of autonomous learning activity, in the process of which future teachers of Mathematics develop a willingness to take responsibility for effective tasks and form the ability to apply knowledge, skills and abilities. The components of professionally oriented English competence are knowledge; skills and abilities; communication; autonomy and responsibility. The main aspects of the content of learning to write are substantive and procedural aspects. The formation of professionally oriented English competence in writing in the process of autonomous learning of future teachers of Mathematics is organized on the interrelated fundamentals: learning to write as a type of professionally oriented English communication based on modelling authentic writing situations; use of students’ experience in communicative activities in their native language; managing the writing process through the content of the activity; a systematic approach of learning to write, including mastering the means, methods, and strategies. Autonomous formation of professionally oriented English competence in writing of future teachers of Mathematics provides: purposeful and conscious planning of activity in writing; ability to establish independently the relationship between previously studied and new educational material; ability to monitor students’ writing and control the correspondence of the writing task to the obtained result; ability to structure and restructure the accumulated knowledge; flexibility and variability in the application of accumulated life experience, experience in learning foreign languages, as well as experience in English writing. The author of the article developed a system of exercises and tasks for autonomous formation of professionally oriented English competence in writing, which consists of three subsystems: a subsystem of exercises for the development of skills of mastering the strategies of professionally oriented writing; a subsystem of exercises for the formation of communicative writing skills; a subsystem of exercises for the development of writing abilities of future teachers of Mathematics.

The accounting higher education has techniques of knowledge transfer for the professional formation of the academic, therefore, most of the teaching techniques are focused on the disclosure of the laws due to the financial movement of the organizations. Knowing this, much of the advancement in teaching is due to the transmission of the experience of the accounting professor and the student facing the labor market operations. There are other methods of teaching accounting such as lecture, case study, seminars, discussion and debate, however they are still focused on the transmission of experiences or the fictional representation of teaching. This article aims to highlight the use of board games in the Accounting Science course, the teaching based on game fiction, as a way of fixing the content in the teaching of cost accounting, compared to traditional teaching methods. To prove the hypothesis, a board game was created, focused on promoting student engagement and favored the transmission of course content. For research observation and control, questionnaires based research methods were used before and after the use of the game in specific classes of the Accounting Science course. The results were demonstrated through graphs for better visualization. Thus, it was possible to conclude that there was a significant difference in the results before and after the application of this teaching method. In addition, students interacted and became cooperatively involved, which proved the effectiveness of the method in motivating and engaging students in the teaching-learning process.

The clamour for better quality graduates by architects in the Nigerian Construction Industry (NCI) necessitates a look into the core competencies and the adequacy of architecture education in preparing architecture graduates for professional practice. 116 self-report likertscale questionnaires from architecture graduates (2009-2015), academics and employers were analysed to establish core competencies developed by the graduates while in school. Descriptive statistics, t-tests as well as Mann-Whitney tests for differences in ratings were employed for the study. Results reveal the perceived adequacy of architecture education for the future career of graduates from the academic perspective. Graduates were most proficient at design related competencies while AutoCAD was still considered the most important CAD competency for architecture graduates in the NCI. The study recommends more frequent evaluations of competencies for employability in collaboration with industry as well as embracing BIM related software in line with global best practices. Keywords: Academics, Architecture, Employers, Graduates, Professional competencies, NCI
