Dear authors and readers of our journal!
We bring to your attention the first in 2023 (spring) issue of the journal «Lifelong Education: The 21st Century». Despite the variety of topics of specific articles in the issue, a number of common problems of modern education are highlighted.
A number of articles in the issue continue to discuss the problem of the quality of scientific research and the presentation of scientific search results in scientific style texts. Attention is drawn to the existence of academic fraud and imitation of research activity in higher education. This phenomenon requires not only a statement, but a serious study of the causes and consequences, as well as ways to overcome it.
In other articles, more specific issues are considered: teaching students the scientific style of speech in the course of Russian as a foreign language, the use of non-traditional methods for studying the conceptual apparatus – the method of two-level triadic decoding, the U-sin pentagram method.
The problem of assessing the quality of educational outcomes, including both general cultural and professional components, remains topical, especially for professional organizations. The articles of the issue present the results of designing the results of education in a specific discipline («Ensuring life safety»), taking into account general and professional competencies in the context of secondary vocational education; methodology and results of studying the quality of training of bachelors in journalism in Vietnam; methodology and results of diagnosing the volume of the vocabulary of first-graders-foreigners.
A number of materials in the issue are traditionally devoted to the ways of using electronic educational resources. The results of a study of the potential of using digital technologies for teaching literature in the system of methodological training of language teachers are presented; the role of project activities in the formation of digital competencies of students of a tourism university; practice of using the EMI model for teaching foreign students to physics; the possibilities of using search services to identify statistics on the description of educational tools in methodological publications on teaching a foreign language.
We draw the attention of potential authors to changes in the requirements of the journal for the design of abstracts and bibliography.
As always, we would like to thank all the authors, reviewers and active visitors of the site for attention to our publication.
