<p style="text-align: justify;">The formed primary level and dynamic and sustainable development of technological competence provides quality management of teaching activities, increases the efficiency of the educational process, accelerates the achievement of pedagogical goals. Delphi expert assessment technique is increasingly used in the paradigm of pedagogy. Due to the set of advantages and objectivity of assessments, it has become the dominant method of this study. The objective of the study is to determine the current level of manifestation of technological competencies, as well as generalized prospects for development and improvement of the identified level within the selected group of freelance teachers using the technology of independent expert assessments –the Delphi method. In general, the following methods were used in the current study: methods of data collection and coordination, anonymous brainstorming, Delphi expert assessment technique, statistical and mathematical processing of results through Delphi formulas, comparative method, generalisations. The diversified approach to the interpretation of the technological competence of faculty members allowed determining: a) the level of faculty members’ knowledge of modern educational technologies at 89.1%; b) activity-practical aspect of training at 83.0%; c) dissonance between the theoretical and empirical level of teacher training and the algorithm for fulfilling the potential in practice at 21.5%; d) mastery of individual creative technologies for the organisation of an effective educational process at 55.9%; e) forecasted development of technological competencies of faculty members in the 5-year perspective under the condition of application of special control and skill trainings at 50.7%. Conclusion of the study is that according to the arithmetic mean of experts’ assessments of differentiated levels of technological competence, the overall level was 75.1%. The average result of the initial student survey on the estimating of the teachers’ technological competence was 69.7%. The difference of 5.4% between the data allows stating that both methods were relevant in this particular case.</p>
Background: Students' adaptation to the educational institution's social environment during difficult educational transitions is an important indicator of their success. Students can achieve full adaptation by identifying themselves with the social environment of the higher educational institution that is provided the developed social identity. So, the study aimed to empirically identify the psycho-social adaptation of students with different types of social identity during the transition to study in a higher educational institution. Methods: The research used standardized psychodiagnostic methods-questionnaires: "Methodology for studying social identity Schneider, L.B., & Khrustaleva, V. V.", " Methods of diagnostics socio-psychological adaptation of Karl Rogers and Rozalin Diamond (adaptation of A. Osnizkij)", " Method of Research of Students Adaptability in the Higher Educational Establishment T.D. Dubovitskaya, A.V. Krylova". Results: The obtained results revealed that students with a high level of positive identity have the highest indicators of socio-psychological adaptation and adaptability to higher educational institutions (p≤0.001). Students with identity diffusion have low socio-psychological adaptation and adaptability to learning (p≤0.001). The correlation analysis revealed statistically significant (p≤0.001) correlations between the type of social identity and adaptability to higher educational institutions. Correlations were also found at a high level of significance (p≤0.001) between the type of social identity and socio-psychological adaptation of students. It is empirically proven that the type of social identity affects the psychosocial adaptation of students during a difficult educational transition. Students with a high level of identity have a high psychosocial adaptation and adaptability to higher educational institutions. Further Implementation: The obtained results will contribute to developing a system for improving the psycho-social adaptation of students during the difficult educational transition through the development of social identity.
