“…It has to become a springboard for their future professional activity that would increase their social status, provide the opportunity to develop their creative potential, and allow joining an effective and promising team. This approach is somewhat consistent with the arguments of several researchers (Lee et al, 2020;Matraeva et al, 2020;Hogan, 2020) considering this path to be promising.…”

The goal of the article is to determine and evaluate the readiness of megapolis residents to participate in megaprojects in the context of the digitalization of the economy and the use of artificial intelligence. The main empirical methods are a questionnaire survey, in-depth interviews, and a focus group conducted using distance instruments due to the pandemic-related restrictions. The study demonstrates that the readiness of megapolis residents to take part in megaprojects under the conditions of the digitalization of the economy and the use of artificial intelligence is ambiguous. Obtaining the necessary human resources is often critical for the organizers of megaprojects. For the first time, the authors identify the main factors of the attractiveness of participating in megaprojects for megapolis residents: the opportunity to get the experience of working in a large project, interest in communicating with different people, and the opportunities to make a career and get a good salary. The important factors also include satisfaction from participating in a grandiose megaproject and becoming a pioneer in a big business. The factors of negligible importance are the opportunities to implement one’s professional skills and communicate in a foreign language in a foreign company, having access to information, and avoiding deployment in the army. The main advantage of the study is the systemic approach to evaluating the readiness of megapolis residents to participate in megaprojects, as well as the identification of the trends of the fragmentary and temporary readiness of megapolis residents for participation in megaprojects and the striving of young megapolis citizens to obtain new professional skills and abilities in megaprojects. Labor activity of megapolis residents in megaprojects is found to be contingent on their age, The obtained results can be used to improve the state personnel policy and the system for the formation of personnel potential in a megaproject.

“…However, medical students, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, need practical information that is important to receive under the guidance of a mentor [39]. It is also important to consider the features of Gen Z in the speed of information perception and evaluation of the obtained data [40], involvement in teamwork [41], and scientific discussion [42].…”

The transition from a semi-digital to digital society depends on the nature of work with information, and the speed and quality of digitalization largely depend on Generation Z. The purpose of the article is to identify and evaluate Gen Z’s views in Russia and Slovakia on the search and assessment of information in a semi-digital society. The empirical research methods are a questionnaire survey, in-depth interviews, and a focus group. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, they were conducted remotely. The study reveals that the views of the Slovak and Russian Generation Z are similar in terms of searching and speeding up the acquisition of information and especially in the high assessment of their capabilities in information search and low confidence in advertising campaigns. The Slovak Gen Z is informationally mature and, at the same time, Internet-dependent. A difference in the perception of AI in Russian and Slovak Gen Z is identified. The results can be used to improve youth policies and provide information to society in the transition to fully digital life.

“…However, this approach can result in passive, rather than active, learning on the part of the student (Altay, 2013) with students simply memorizing the material for the exam (Flores et al, 2014), and frequently forgetting what they have learned shortly afterwards (Rawson et al, 2013). In constrast, approaches such as authentic assessment which increase realism are shown to promote active learning by providing cognitive challenge and requiring judgement and analysis, this improving learning outcomes for students (Hogan, 2020;Villarroel et al, 2020).…”

In order to develop an understading of plagiarism and how best to avoid it, a workshop was conducted with masters’ students. They took part in a 4 hour interactive session that covered types of plagiarism, appropriate acknowledgement of sources, paraphrasing and contract cheating. They also completed a literature review afterwards for which they received two rounds of feedback on plagiarism issues. Students completed a survey assessing their understanding of plagiarism pre and post the workshop. A paired samples t test showed a significant improvement in student understanding of plagiarism as a result of the intervention. It is planned to roll out the initiative to other student groups in the coming academic year.
