В магистерской диссертации описано исследование, направленное на изучение процесса психологической адаптации иностранных студентов в Уральском федеральном университете. Актуальность темы обусловлена значимостью вопросов адаптации на фоне глобализации и межкультурного взаимодействия в современном образовательном пространстве. Исследование охватывает различные аспекты психологической адаптации, включая теоретические подходы, типологию личности по Юнгу, а также особенности и проблемы адаптации иностранцев в российском контексте. Анализ выявил, что осознанность и темперамент играют ключевую роль в успешной адаптации студентов. Особенно стоит отметить осознанность как основной фактор адаптации, подчеркивающий важность развития навыков внимательности и рефлексии среди студентов. Многофакторный анализ показал, что влияние осознанности на адаптацию варьируется в зависимости от курса обучения. Наибольшее влияние она оказывает на третьем курсе, свидетельствуя о накоплении необходимых навыков к этому времени, что критично для адаптации в более поздних периодах обучения. В то время как темперамент оказывает наибольшее влияние на четвертом курсе, подчеркивая значимость личностных характеристик на более зрелом этапе обучения. Анализ различий (ANOVA) подтвердил статистически значимые различия в уровнях адаптации между студентами различных курсов и показал, как осознанность и темперамент влияют на эти уровни, что указывает на изменчивость процесса адаптации в разное время обучения. Исследование подчеркивает необходимость интеграции программ по развитию осознанности в учебные планы, особенно для начальных курсов, для поддержания адаптации студентов с самого начала их обучения. Важно также учитывать индивидуальные особенности студентов, включая темперамент, при разработке поддерживающих мероприятий, так как эти факторы существенно влияют на адаптацию на всех этапах обучения. В процессе анализа психологической адаптации иностранных студентов был применен кластерный анализ для определения основных характеристик моделей адаптации, связанных со студентами из разных регионов мира. Результаты позволили выделить три ключевых кластера, каждый из которых представляет различные уровни адаптации и связанные с ними психологические особенности. Таким образом, результаты диссертации вносят важный вклад в развитие теории и практики психологической адаптации иностранных студентов, расширяя понимание механизмов, которые способствуют успешной адаптации. Разработанные на основе исследования рекомендации могут служить основой для улучшения программ поддержки, способствуя академическому успеху и личностному росту студентов, а также укреплению межкультурного диалога и повышению привлекательности России как страны для международного образования. / The object of the work is the psychological adaptation of foreign students of the Ural Federal University named after the first president B. N. Yeltsin. The subject of the work is the relationship of psychological adaptation of foreign students with their level of awareness and temperament. The master’s thesis consists of an introduction, two chapters, a conclusion, a list of literature and applications. The work contains 104 pages, 9 drawings and 9 tables. The introduction reveals the relevance of the problem of adaptation of foreign students in the context of globalization and intercultural exchange, highlights the development of integration issues in a multinational educational environment, which underlines the importance of research for educational practices. The first chapter contains a theoretical overview of the studied aspects of psychological adaptation, the role of the typology of personality orientation of Carl Jung and awareness in adaptation, as well as information about the specifics of psychological adaptation of foreign students. The second chapter focuses on empirical research, including Spearman’s correlation analysis to determine the relationship between cognition, temperament, and adaptation. ANOVA is used to compare the levels of adaptation and features of taking yourself between students of different courses. Regression analysis is used to study changes in cognition and temperament at different stages of learning. Cluster analysis preliminarily analyzes the data and identifies the main trends and differences between students from different regions. In conclusion, the main results of the work, confirming the importance of awareness and temperament in the process of adaptation of foreign students are presented. The work contributes to the theory and practice of psychological adaptation by offering recommendations for the development of programs supporting foreign students. The master’s thesis describes a study aimed at studying the process of psychological adaptation of foreign students at the Ural Federal University. The relevance of the topic is due to the importance of adaptation issues against the background of globalization and intercultural interaction in the modern educational space. The study covers various aspects of psychological adaptation, including theoretical approaches, personality typology by Jung, as well as features and problems of adaptation of foreigners in the Russian context. The analysis revealed that awareness and temperament play a key role in the successful adaptation of students. It is especially worth noting awareness as the main factor of adaptation, emphasizing the importance of developing skills of attentiveness and reflection among students. Multidimensional analysis has shown that the impact of awareness on adaptation varies from course to course. It has the greatest impact in the third year, indicating the accumulation of the necessary skills by that time, which is critical for adaptation in later periods of training. While temperament has the greatest influence on the fourth year, emphasizing the importance of personality characteristics at a more mature stage of learning. Differences analysis (ANOVA) has confirmed statistically significant differences in the levels of adaptation between students of different courses and has shown how awareness and temperament influence these levels, indicating the variability of the adaptation process at different learning times. The study emphasizes the need to integrate awareness programmes into the curriculum, especially for initial courses, to support the adaptation of students from the very beginning of their studies. It is also important to consider the individual characteristics of students, including temperament, when developing supportive activities, as these factors significantly influence adaptation at all stages of learning. In the process of analysis of the psychological adaptation of foreign students cluster analysis was applied to determine the main characteristics of adaptation models related to students from different regions of the world. The results highlighted three key clusters, each representing different levels of adaptation and related psychological features. Thus, the results of the thesis make an important contribution to the development of the theory and practice of psychological adaptation of foreign students, increasing the understanding of the mechanisms that contribute to successful adaptation. Recommendations developed on the basis of the study can serve as a basis for improving support programs, contributing to the academic success and personal growth of students, as well as strengthening intercultural dialogue and increasing the attractiveness of Russia as a country for international education.

The social and economic environments in which children develop are regarded as important variables which relate to academic performance. In order to support learners in achieving academically, an understanding of the role of these different variables is essential. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of additional educational support on the resilient behaviour and subsequent academic performance of adolescents in Grades 9 and 10. A sample of 117 high school adolescents was used. Schools that offer additional educational support tend, on average, to show a healthier teacher-learner relationship, more parental involvement, superior cognitive development and better study orientation. All these factors were also found to contribute to a learner’s potential to demonstrate resilient behaviour. Based on the literature study and the empirical investigation, recommendations to parents, teachers and schools have been made. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Guidance and Counselling)

Cette thèse s’inscrit dans la didactique des langues et des cultures étrangères ; il s’agit d’une recherche sur un enseignement du persan quotidien qui repose sur la nouvelle, en tant que lieu d’échanges interculturels. Justifiant, en premier lieu, pour le persan l’hypothèse de la diglossie, cette thèse montre que ce concept ne peut pas se concevoir sans considérer les différents paramètres socioculturels qui conditionnent l’emploi de chacune des deux variétés linguistiques : le persan quotidien et le persan littéral. La diglossie, la double relation de la langue et de la culture et par la suite l’étude du corpus des manuels de persan nous ont confortée dans notre réflexion sur la nécessité de réviser l’enseignement du persan « parlé-quotidien » et la présentation de la diversité culturelle en Iran. Cette recherche s’interroge sur l’impact du choix de la nouvelle littéraire pour la didactique du persan « parlé-quotidien » et sur son aptitude à susciter des interactions verbales interculturelles. La thèse pose qu’un élément concret ou un thème bien choisi dans une nouvelle, peut amener les apprenants à prendre la parole. Ce rôle tient à la présence, dans ce même ensemble textuel, d’éléments culturels saisissables. Ce choix didactique s’accompagne d’une sélection iconographique d’images destinées à attirer l’attention des apprenants sur le contenu de la nouvelle et sur les aspects culturels qu’elle véhicule. Nous nous proposons également d’étudier si la posture de l’enseignant et les relations interpersonnelles enseignant/apprenant sont interdépendantes et influencent le désir d’apprendre et de communiquer chez l’apprenant dans le contexte de l’enseignement du persan. Nous avons mis en place un projet didactique auprès d’étudiants en deuxième années de licence en langue et civilisation persanes à l’Institut national des Langues et Civilisations orientales, afin de vérifier ces idées. L’analyse des données enregistrées permet de présenter comment nous avons appliqué nos concepts et nos propositions. Elle est révélatrice de l’émergence d’une dynamique conversationnelle et interculturelle en classe et confirme ainsi nos hypothèses didactiques sur l’emploi de la nouvelle en classe de persan langue étrangère. / This thesis is in the field of teaching foreign language and culture. It represents a research on teaching ‘‘everyday Persian’’ based on short story as a place of intercultural exchanges. Applying the diglossia hypothesis to Persian, this dissertation demonstrates that this concept cannot overlook different sociocultural parameters which determine the use of two linguistic varieties: ‘‘everyday Persian’’ and ‘‘formal Persian’’. The diglossia, the mutual relation between language and culture and the study of Persian textbooks corpus have convinced us that teaching ‘‘spoken everyday Persian’’ and the presentation of cultural diversity in Iran need to be revised. This research examines the impact of using short stories on teaching ‘‘spoken everyday Persian’’ and also its efficacy to stimulate intercultural verbal interactions. The thesis raises if a concrete element or a well chosen theme in a short story can lead learners to speak. This role requires the seizable cultural elements in this very text. This educational choice is associated with an iconographical study of some selected illustrations intended to attract learners’ attention to the content of the short story and the cultural aspects it conveys. Another purpose of this research is to figure out whether the teacher’s posture, communication behaviours and the teacher/learner interpersonal relationships are interdependent and if they have any impact on the learner’s desire to learn and communicate in the context of teaching Persian. To verify these hypotheses, an educational project for the second year-students of Persian language and civilization at the National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations was implemented. Analysis of recorded data can show how our concepts and proposals were applied. It is indicative of the emergence of a conversational and intercultural dynamics in the classroom and confirms our hypotheses regarding the use of Persian short stories in teaching Persian as a foreign language.

This study presents a quantitative investigation of the influence of various social factors – including finances, secondary school attended, resources available, culture, and family support – on the perceptions of success (in terms of academic performance and skills gained) of adult learners who are using online learning as the primary educational medium. The research was conducted with 100 students of The International Hotel School in South Africa. A quantitative research methodology was followed and a survey questionnaire was used as the data collection method. The data from closed-ended questions was analysed using Statistical Analysis System (SAS), with the data from open-ended questions being used to aid in the interpretation of the information organised quantitatively. Findings suggest that certain social factor constructs namely: finances, secondary school preparation for tertiary education, and internet accessibility, significantly impact the perceptions the students have on being successful in online learning. Some recommendations that spring from the study are to provide more funding to students, better access to more suitable resources and providing students with unlimited access to the internet for longer periods of time. It is also recommended that a follow-up study with a larger and more varied sample (possibly including public sector tertiary education students), and more questionnaire items per social factor is necessary to cast further light on the impact of social factors on adult students’ online learning experiences. / Educational Studies / M.

Die 21ste eeuse postmodeme samelewing word gekenmerk deur dinamiese veranderinge op aile gebiede wat die kwaliteit van die gesinslewe en opvoedingsbegeleiding binne gesinne bepaaL Hierdie studie poog om aan die hand van 'n omvangryke literatuurstudie en kwalitatiewe ondersoek, die aard, omvang en invloed van sodanige samelewingsverskynsels op verhoudingstigting- en onderhouding en die kwaliteit van opvoedingsbegeleiding in eietydse stadsgesinne te bepaal. Bevindinge toon dat sommige gesinne, as gevolg van hierdie veranderinge, uiters kwesbaar is, dat verhoudinge ontaard en opvoedingsbegeleiding ontoereikend voltrek.

Ouers en kinders moet onder verswarende omstandighede die verantwoordelikheid opneem om harmoniese en Iiefdevolle verhoudinge in die gesin te stig en te onderhou. Ondersteunings- en begeleidingsprogramme vir ouers en kinders om toereikende opvoedingsbegeleiding en selfaktualisering te verseker, word aanbeveel.

This study aims to determine, by means of a comprehensive literature study and qualitative investigation, the nature, extent and influence of social phenomena on the constitution and maintenance of relationships as well as the quality of educational support in contemporary urban families. Findings show that some families are vulnerable, that relationships deteriorate and that educational support is inadequate as a result of these changes. The decline of norms and values is an aggravating factor in education and adolescence support. Parents and children have to take responsibility to establish harmonious and loving relationships in the family. Support and guidance programmes are recommended for parents and children to ensure adequate educational support and self-actualization. These programmes must be launched on the micro, meso and macro level of society. / Educational studies / M. Ed. (Sosio-Opvoedkunde)
