Improvement of value orientations in the process of forming the professional competence of teachers
Get PDFThis study examines the issues of value orientations of a teacher and their development as an integral part of professional competence. We drew attention to the relationship between the value orientations and the value sphere within the process of teacher’s professional development, the conditionality of professional competence by the value system. The aim of the research is the theoretical and empirical study of value orientations as a component of the professional competence of teachers. Particular attention is paid to the role and significance of creativity in the teaching performance. Based on the analysis of current literary sources, we examined the phenomenon of professional creativity of a teacher, made an attempt to define this concept and considered its structure and structural components. The research methodology and its algorithm were selected due to the purpose of the study. Experimental work included a complex psychological and pedagogical experiment and diagnostics of the stated parameters before and after the implementation of the advanced training. The study was carried out on the basis of the Institute of Foreign Languages of the Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Education “The Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia” (RUDN). The results of the study allow us to conclude that there is a significant relationship between the professional creativity of a teacher and the effectiveness of professional performance, which is confirmed by the results of statistical processing of the data obtained. In the Russian psychological and pedagogical literature on the problem of professional competence two basic concepts are discussed, competence and competency. Researchers argue that these concepts are multidimensional and systemic in nature. In Russia, the difference between these concepts is most thoroughly substantiated in the glossary of the Federal State Educational Standard. It is indicated that competencies consist of knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as of practical experience. The ability to apply them in professional activities is called competence.

El desafío del Covid-19 en el Mundo y en el Perú
Get PDFCon más de 60 millones de casos y más de 1 millón de fallecidos, el impacto de la pandemia del COVID-19 en el 2020 ha sido profundo, en particular a nivel de la economía mundial (Larios-Meoño, 2020). Si la magnitud de esta crisis y su naturaleza es difícilmente comparable con las anteriores, las expectativas presentan bastante incertidumbre para el próximo año, a pesar de la llegada de una vacuna en los próximos meses. El caso del Perú es particularmente interesante, debido a la aplicación temprana de mediciones de confinamiento y de distanciamiento social importantes para un país de ingreso medio, el país ha conocido una difusión masiva del virus, marcando la falta de infraestructuras y las debilidades profundas del sistema sanitario, extendiéndose finalmente a nivel económico y político. Sin embargo, a pesar de este contexto difícil ciertas actividades con el apoyo de las tecnologías de comunicación han podido desarrollarse, específicamente a nivel académico
Modelo explicativo de la autoeficacia académica: autorregulación de actividades, afecto positivo y personalidad
Get PDFAcademic self-efficacy is a powerful predictor of academic success, yet there are several factors that predispose it. Because of this, an explanatory model is proposed using the self-regulation of academic activities, positive affection, and personality. Hierarchical multiple linear regression was used to support the predictive proposal of the model. The Specific Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale of Academic Situations, The Scale of Positive and Negative Experience, Subscale Self-Regulation of Activities of the Academic Procrastination Scale, and Mini International Personality Item Pool (MINI-IPIP) were used. High correlations were obtained in the self-regulation of activities, positive affection, and personality (extraversion, concientousness and openness to experience) to academic self-efficacy. The final predictive model explained 30.1% of the total variance of academic self-efficacy. In conclusion, the model proposed through literature review is a strong predictor of academic self-efficacy and promotes the development of self-effective beliefs.La autoeficacia académica es un potente predictor del éxito académico, sin embargo, existen diversos factores que lo predisponen. Debido a ello se propone un modelo explicativo basado en la autorregulación de actividades académicas, afecto positivo y personalidad. Se utilizó regresión lineal múltiple jerárquico para sustentar la propuesta predictiva del modelo. Se utilizaron la Escala de Autoeficacia Percibida Específica de Situaciones Académicas, The Scale of Positive and Negative Experience, Subescala Autorregulación de actividades de la Escala de Procrastinación Académica, y Mini International Personality Item Pool (MINI-IPIP). Se obtuvieron altas correlaciones en la autorregulación de actividades, afecto positivo y personalidad (extraversión, responsabilidad y apertura) para con la autoeficacia académica. El modelo predictivo final, explicó el 30.1% de la varianza total de la autoeficacia académica. En conclusión, el modelo propuesto mediante revisión de la literatura es un fuerte predictor de la autoeficacia académica, y promueve el desarrollo de creencias auto eficaces

Ranking Cloud Computing Criteria in Developing Electronic Communications Services Using MCDM
Get PDFThe main purpose of this study was ranking cloud computing criteria in developing electronic communications services using multiple-criteria decision analysis methodology (MCDM). This correlational research was applied in terms of purpose. Statistical population of the study included ICT experts of the steel industry in Yazd province (industrial experts), among which, 312 individuals were selected using purposeful nonprobability (judgmental) sampling method. Considering the conducted investigations and critically reviewing the related books and articles, the variables, criteria, and scales were identified using cloud computing technology. To analyze the data, MCDM and fuzzy logic calculations were utilized in Expert Choice software. According to the results and considering fuzzy calculations related to the capabilities of cloud computing in developing electronic communications services, the most important criteria in the "IT management in steel industries" cluster having (A) network code was "communicating with steel industries` costumers" having (AB) network code and fuzzy network weight equal to 0.096; the most important criteria in "cloud computing capabilities" cluster having (B) network code were "reducing steel industries` costs" having (BA) network code and fuzzy network weight equal to 0.191; and "providing rapid services to steel industries` costumers" having (BB) network code and fuzzy network weight equal to 0.120. on the other hand, the most important criteria in "developing electronic communications services" cluster having (C) network code was "storing the data in electronic communications services" having (CD) network code and fuzzy network weight equal to 0.123, since based on fuzzy logic calculation, they had the highest fuzzy rank in Matlab programming environment regarding cloud computing capabilities in developing electronic communications services
Investigating the Financial Crisis of the Iranian Stock Exchange Using Transfer Entropy Method and comparing it with the Dow Jones Financial Market
Get PDFThe focus of the present study is on the financial markets of Iran. In fact, the purpose of the present study is to examine the critical state of the Iranian stock market and compare it with one of the famous American markets called Dow Jones. The purpose of the financial crisis is to examine the effect of the interaction of companies within a market. According to modern financial theory, crisis is a phenomenon of market orientation and finding a negative preferred direction among companies. The stock market data of 180 companies of this market that were active during the period of 2008 to 2019 were used to investigate the financial crisis of the Iranian Stock Exchange. The results show that the average transfer entropy for 180 firms in the Iranian stock market is more random. That is to say, the observed declines do not correspond to the time periods of the crisis in the stock market. Although transfer entropy seems to be a good indicator for determining the period of crisis in the US Dow Jones market, it cannot be an indicator for determining the financial crisis for the Iranian stock market
Stress Testing of Banking Systems: an examination against the Shocks of Macroeconomic Variables
Get PDFIn the past years, overdue due receivables of the banks have increased in an unprecedented way compared to all the facilities granted in Iran’s banking network, showing the not very acceptable quality of bank assets that decrease the bank credit and make them financially unstable. The macroeconomic variables in this article are as follow: GDP growth rate, economic growth, exchange rate, inflation rate, unemployment rate, government debt. The decrease in this amount of arrears shows the ability of banks to maintain their resources. At this research, after identifying the macroeconomic variables affecting the default of banks using the stress test and applying one standard deviation with the help of the historical scenario, the study examined the banks’ resilience to the shocks of these variables from 2006 to 2019. The results indicated that the shock of the economic growth rate had the greatest effect. In other words, the decrease in the economic growth rate had the greatest effect on the increase of borrowers’ default rates. In addition to this, shocks of economic growth and government debt have highly effect on the borrowers’ default rates and inflation rate, unemployment rate, GDP growth rate and exchange rate have a significant impact upon borrowers’ default rates
