Boichenko M.A. The notion of "giftedness" in Ukrainian pedagogical discourse
Abstract. The article reveals the approaches of Ukrainian researchers to the definition of the notion “giftedness”. According to the Law of Ukraine “On Basic Foundations of State Support of Gifted Children and Youth in Ukraine” gifted is referred to a child under the age of 16, who is the winner of the city, regional, national or international Olympiads, contests or competitions, and has an official written confirmation of such victory. Also a child can be considered gifted if he is awarded a gold medal for excellent achievements during his/her study in general secondary school; a child who took part in at least three all-Ukrainian or international Olympi- ads, contests or competitions, and has an official confirmation of such participation. It is emphasized that the definition of the notion “giftedness” given by Ukrainian researchers differs significantly from the definition given in the legal document, because it covers different aspects of this notion. It is enclosed that the main approaches to the definition of the investigated notion in the native pedagogical discourse in modern conditions are qualitative and quantitative.

Charkova D.A. The Effect of Collaborative vs. Individualized Learning in the Cloud
Abstract. The present study compared the effect of collaborative vs. individual learning of summary writing in a cloud-based instructional module. The participants were 98 college students enrolled in the Department of Math and Sciences at Plovdiv University, Bulgaria. The participants’ level of proficiency and summary writing skills were tested prior to the experiment in order to ascertain that the two experi- mental groups did not differ significantly at the onset of the instructional module. Learning outcomes were established through an immediate post-test and a delayed post-test of summary writing. Special measures were taken to guarantee the reliability of the summary scoring. The two groups’ immediate post-test and delayed post-test scores were compared through independent t-tests. The results showed a significant priority for he collaborative group on both the immediate post-test and the delayed post-test. These findings provide assurance that collabora- tive work in a cloud-based instructional module can lead to learning outcomes that are not only not inferior to individual work, but can even be superior.

Karupu O.W., Oleshko T.A., Pakhnenko V.V. On some methodical aspects of teaching to Mathematical Analysis in National Aviation University
Abstracts. Foreign students in National Aviation University may choose to study in English, Russian or Ukrainian. We present the results of our experience of teaching Mathematical Analysis and corresponding topics of Higher Mathematics in English to foreign and Ukrainian students in National Aviation University. As English is one of the official languages of ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), this trend of education is urgent and favors the further improvement of professional skills of the university graduates. Beside this, foreign applicants may study with- out a preparatory course of Ukrainian or Russian. The modular technology of studying which is one of the main components of the European Credit Transfer System is applied. All disciplines are completely covered with textbooks and manuals published in our university. Syllabuses of these courses in English which are compliant with ECTS are fully developed. Therefore we study problems of methodical, didactic and organizational nature which arise while teaching Mathematical Analysis and corresponding topics of Higher Mathematics in English in English-speaking groups. Some of these problems arise as a result of different approach to teaching mathematics in secondary schools in Ukraine and countries native for our students. We analyze the specific features of linguistic and organizational grounding of students from different countries, who study at NAU, and give our recommendations for dealing with them including application of systems of computer mathematics in teaching to considering discipline. In addition, we study the specific issues that arise while teaching theory of limits, differential and integral calculus of functions of one and several variables, theory of differential equations and theory of series to students who are not native speakers and therefore studied in their native languages in secondary school. We will discuss general issues of planning and giving lectures and practical trainings to such students,

Novoseletska S.V. A “Sense of Community” as One of the Factors that Enhances Language Learning
Abstract. Communicative language teaching requires a sense of community – an environment of trust and mutual confidence where- in learners may interact without fear or threat of failure. Good teachers have long recognized the value of community in all learning environments and have found ways to encourage group cohesiveness and responsibility. Communicative language teaching depends on these traits. Without community there can be no communication. Where there is a strong sense of community, trust, high self- esteem, and good instruction, students have higher achievement.
