https://acnsci.org/journal/index.php/ed/article/view/526
<p>In a general sense, the concept of research and its strategy are correlated in such a way that the logic of the presentation of the concept should reflect the strategy. In addition, the conceptually proclaimed technology of designing innovative pedagogical systems acts, in relation to the research strategy, as the tactics of the researching subject. If we take into account that the research is carried out on an interdisciplinary basis, then the design strategy produced on the basis of an interdisciplinary synthesis, at each of its stages, is expected (guaranteed) to lead to new interdisciplinary achievements – theoretical constructs (knowledge), models, algorithms, technologies, etc.: they serve as a reliable gnostic tool in further research carried out outside a specific disciplinary context. In other words, the results of interdisciplinary synthesis turn into a transdisciplinary strategic research tool, which we tried to demonstrate in this article.</p>Viktoriia V. Dokuchaieva

https://acnsci.org/journal/index.php/ed/article/view/529
<p>This paper is about people's strategic behavior as observed through experiments. The research question posed in this paper is how players (primarily children) learn in complex strategic situations that they have never encountered before. We examine data from various games played during popular game theory lectures and present findings about players' strategic learning progress while competing with other players. Four "pick a number" games with similar-looking rules but very different properties were investigated. These games were presented to various groups of listeners. The collected data is available for replication and analysis in an open repository. In this paper, we analyze data and propose an agent-based model of a beauty pageant game to explain observed behavior. Finally, we discuss the findings, hypotheses to test, and open questions for future research.</p>Oleksii P. Ignatenko

https://acnsci.org/journal/index.php/ed/article/view/530
<p>A red-black (RB) tree is a data structure with red and black nodes coloration. The red and black color of nodes make up the principal component for balancing a RB tree. A balanced tree has an equal number of black nodes on any simple path. But when a black leaf node is deleted, a double-black (DB) node is formed, thus, causing a reduction in black heights and the tree becomes unbalanced. Rebalancing a RB tree with a DB node is a fairly complex process. Teaching and learning the removal of DB nodes is also challenging. This paper introduces a simplified novel method which is a symbolic-algebraic arithmetic procedure for the removal of DB nodes and the rebalancing of black heights in RB trees. This simplified approach has enhanced student learning of the DB node removal in RB trees. Feedback from students showed the learnability, workability and acceptance of the symbolic-algebraic method in balancing RB trees after a delete operation.</p>Kennedy E.

https://acnsci.org/journal/index.php/ed/article/view/531
<p>High volume and low level of data structuring cause problems with data processing nowadays. The scope of perspective to provide such structuring is scientific studies because, in most cases, they provide predicted measurement parameters, and it’s easy to structure. As a result, the parameters that will be measured can be defined and forms prepared for completion during studies. As a result, the parameters that will be measured can be defined and forms prepared for completion during shipping. This study corroborates how to handle this data in ontologies, providing structuring and interoperability of data. The case of the use of such an approach based on the expedition of real-life environmental study during Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine expedition is described. The approach uses Excel-based templates to be filled during the measurement of parameters. Each line in such an array represents the location or name of the search subject. An extra column is dedicated to geolocation insertion. After providing the research, such files are uploaded into the Polyhedron system, and ontology is generated. These ontologies are stored and integrated into ArcGis and can be used to present their own findings and provide basic searches by other researchers. The process of integrating a few ontologies that used a proposed template from different expeditions is described. Additional, as such studies are also used IMRAD, it is possible to use the approach of using IMRAD as the core of the expedition result’s graph and use the expedition studies in the same structure as other.</p>Yevhenii B.

https://acnsci.org/journal/index.php/ed/article/view/532
<p>The specifics of the training of physics teachers lies in the extensive use of experimental research. E-learning, the role of which has increased due to quarantine restrictions, has the means of experimental research in its arsenal. The international educational community has developed and uses a variety of electronic educational resources, which are integrated into collections and libraries. The professional training of physics teachers is not an exception. Electronic educational resources make it possible not only to deliver educational material in a variety of ways, sometimes impossible without ICT, but also to simulate events and processes for their wider study in educational purposes. The use of cloud calculations in the form of virtual laboratory workshops is a way to solve existing problems in the training of future physics teachers. The use of cloud calculations in the educational activities of future physics teachers contributes not only to the improvement of educational material but also to the improvement of digital competence of all participants of the educational process. The research analyzed the available virtual laboratory practices, the scheme of using physics simulations was suggested, the examples of their use during physics teaching and the role of cloud calculations in the training of physics teachers were given. An analysis of the use of cloud computing and the best practices of this activity is carried out.</p>Vladyslav Ye. VelychkoElena G. FedorenkoNataliia V. KaidanVadym P. Kaidan

https://acnsci.org/journal/index.php/ed/article/view/535
<p>In the context of digital technologies' development, digital competence is a necessary prerequisite for everyone to learn, work, and actively participate in social life. Higher education institutions are faced with the mission of selecting and developing appropriate teaching strategies and cultivating digital competencies of students and academics, as well as using appropriate tools to improve the quality of education. The article highlights the experience of forming digital competencies among students majoring in the 122 Computer Science specialization while writing their thesis. Students developed a university automated system for choosing disciplines from the variable part of the curriculum. The practical results obtained by students during the research in accordance with the thesis tasks are represented by the following: examples of UML and ER diagrams (design stages), graph images (implementation stage), sections of the program code and test results of the created automated system (implementation and configuration stages of the software product). The formation and development of digital competencies during such thesis research is analyzed. The European model of digital competencies "The Digital Competence Framework for Citizens" (DigComp 2.1) has been selected as a conceptual standard. Attention is focused on three areas of DigComp 2.1: information and data literacy; digital content creation; problems solving in the digital environment. The activities that contribute to the formation of these competencies are outlined. It is concluded that the described strategy promotes the formation and development of digital competence at the eighth (highest) professional level in accordance with the DigComp 2.1 model for higher education students majoring in the 122 Computer Science specialization.</p>Olga V.
