Item COMPARATIVE RESEARCH ON CREATIVITY IN JUNIORS' MOTIVATION STRUCTURE(2025) Popovych, I. S.; Unhurian, N.; Varnava, U.; Bilosevych, I.; Soroka, O.; Dobrovolska, N.; Hoian, I.; Попович, І. С.The aim of this study was to perform theoretical–empirical research into the psychological parameters of creativity within the motivation structure of junior athletes and to compare the findings by gender and sport. Methods: The research sample consisted of 90 junior athletes (45 males, 45 females), representing both team sports (volleyball, mini-football, football, and handball) and individual sports (Greco–Roman wrestling, artistic gymnastics, weightlifting, chess, and boxing). The sample was evenly split, with 45 athletes from each group. Junior athletes were trained at sports schools for children and youth in Ukraine, represented junior teams of professional clubs, and participated in national and international tournaments, achieving success in Ukrainian, European, and World championships. The following descriptive frequency characteristics were recorded by age: M = 17.39; SD = ±3.48; Мe = 17.50. Valid and reliable tools, tested in sports studies on junior samples, were applied to establish the parameters of creativity and motivation. Results. A statistically significant superiority of junior female athletes (Group 1) was found in two parameters of motivation: intrinsic motivation (U = 776.50; p = .049) and social status (U = 774.00; p = .046). No superiority was identified in the parameters of creativity. No statistically significant difference was found between the sample of juniors engaging in team sports (Group I) and the sample of juniors engaging in individual sports (Group II). The use of Spearman’s correlation coefficient (rs) allowed us to establish that the parameters of creativity are low-loaded with motivational intentions, and, correspondingly, juniors’ motivation is low-dependent on creativity. The comparison of two groups of the levels of creativity parameters (Group A and Group B) allowed us to identify a superiority in the parameters “extrinsic positive motivation” and “general activeness”, indicating the focus of creativity on the content component of competitive activity. There is a caveat that “comfort” is the most dependent parameter that can have a negative impact on the content component of competitive activity. Discussion and conclusions. It was substantiated that the research into the phenomenon and psychological content parameters of creativity in juniors’ motivation structure is a successful attempt to establish psychological correlations and find statistical differences in their motivation. Operationalization of the obtained results is significant in the context of a local competitive situation. It is recommended that the obtained statistical results and algorithms for establishing psychological correlations and finding differences be considered by subjects in sporting activities who work with junior athletes.Item КОМПАРАТИВНЕ ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ УПРАВЛІННЯ В УМОВАХ ІНКЛЮЗІЇ: ДОСВІД УКРАЇНИ ТА НІМЕЧЧИНИ(2025) Волошина, О.; Орлов, О.; Гончарук, А.; Попович, І.

У статті зроблено висновок, що процес організації інклюзивного навчання в закладах дошкільної освіти був і є складним як в Україні, так і в Німеччині, незважаючи на досвід, напрацювання та сучасні технології менеджменту. The experience of managing inclusive preschool education institutions in Ukraine and Germany has been analyzed in the article. The necessity of implementing European managerial experience to solve contemporary problems of preschool education in Ukraine has been justified. A review of normative documents guaranteeing the right to preschool education for children with special educational needs has been conducted. Research by both domestic and foreign scholars on the topic has been analyzed. The aim of the article was to conduct a comparative analysis of the management of inclusive preschool education institutions in Ukraine and Germany, identifying effective forms, methods, and management technologies that have been successfully implemented by the leaders of such institutions. Based on the results of a survey conducted with the leaders of inclusive preschools, the state of inclusive education implementation in German and Ukrainian preschool institutions has been analyzed, including the level of perception of inclusive education by managers, the state of communication between institutions in the context of inclusive education, peculiarities of preschool education financing in Ukraine and Germany, as well as the problems most commonly faced by preschool leaders when organizing inclusive education. Ideas that can be applied in the management process have been identified. It has been stated that improving the financial component of Ukrainian preschool education will lead to solving several problems directly related to financial provision. The article concludes that the process of organizing inclusive education in preschool institutions has been and remains complex both in Ukraine and Germany, despite the experience, developments, and modern management technologies available.Item SELF-REGULATORY BEHAVIOR STYLES OF JUNIORS IN ACHIEVING WINNING OUTCOMES(2025) Popovych, I. S.; Kryzhanovskyi, O.; Zavatskyi, V.; Tkachenko, N.; Hrytsuk, O.; Kolly-Shamne, A.; Danko, D.; Попович, І. С.The purpose of this study is to identify the dominant styles of self-regulatory behavior among junior athletes in their pursuit of winning outcomes. Methods: The research sample comprised juniors aged 15–19 who actively participated in sports and competed at various levels, ranging from regional contests to national championships and international tournaments. Statistical analysis involved empirical data collected from participants who had achieved success in individual sports and had won matches in team sports. The characteristics of the sample population are as follows: n = 154; М = 17.34; SD = ±3.51; Мe = 17.00. The key parameters of the styles of self- regulatory behavior, self-acceptance, the need for sports achievements, and self-efficacy in subject activity and interpersonal communication were determined using valid and reliable psychodiagnostic tools. Results. Pearson’s correlation coefficient (R) allowed for establishing thirteen direct correlations and one inverse correlation of the styles of self-regulation and self-acceptance with the parameters of a winning outcome (p ≤ .050; p ≤ .010). It was found that planning as a style of junior athletes’ self-regulatory activity has all significant direct correlations with the parameters of a winning outcome. It was established that independence is the most essential characteristic of self-regulation in sporting activities. The absence of correlations in the parameters “modeling” and “programming” does not reduce their value as self-regulation styles but rather reflects their formation in our population sample. Discussion and conclusions. It was substantiated that the research into the styles of junior athletes’ self-regulatory behavior in achieving a winning outcome is an examination of the psychological content parameters of managing one’s psycho-emotional state, which is achieved through verbal, visual, and behavioral means. It was noted that the parameter “evaluating sports results” has one correlation with the need for achievements and no correlation with the other two parameters – self-efficacy in subject activity and self-efficacy in interpersonal communication. It was explained that junior athletes, permanently evaluating their sports achievements, focus too much on their personality, strengths and weaknesses, which is accompanied by the work of defense mechanisms, which do not allow them to properly concentrate on the process of learning and training. It is recommended that the obtained empirical results and theoretical conclusions be used in the education and training process at sports schools for children and youth and junior academies functioning in professional teamsItem EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE STRUCTURE OF SELF-CONTROL AMONG JUNIOR ATHLETES(2025) Popovych, I. S.; Danko, D.; Yakovleva, S.; Haponenko, L.; Shcherbyna, O.; Kryzhanovskyi, O.; Hoian, I.; Попович, І. С.The aim of this study is to empirically investigate and theoretically substantiate the role of emotional intelligence (EQ) within the self-control structure of junior athletes. Methods: The sample consisted of 184 junior athletes from both team sports (football and handball) and individual sports (track and field, artistic gymnastics, freestyle wrestling, weightlifting, and boxing). These athletes were students at sports schools for children and youth and were part of professional football and handball clubs competing in the national championship. The descriptive frequency characteristics of the respondents’ ages are as follows: М = 16.96; SD = ±3.37; Мe = 17.00. The parameters of emotional intelligence, volitional control, and subjective control were assessed using psycho-diagnostic tools that were valid, reliable, and specifically adapted for sports samples. Results: The empirical data followed a normal distribution, allowing the use of Pearson’s correlation coefficient (R) to identify fourteen direct correlations and two inverse correlations (p ≤ .050; p ≤ .010; p = .000). It was found that the most dependent parameter of emotional intelligence was “self-control and self-regulation of emotions”, which showed the highest number of correlations (seven) and the strongest associations at significant levels (p ≤ .001; p = .000). The profile of junior athletes’ overall self-control enabled a visual comparison of the key dimensions of self-control. It was explained that the technical component, latent mental resources, and psychological literacy give juniors an advantage at the final stage when all the strong and equal athletes have reached the final competitions. There is a caveat that demonstrating a high level of perseverance does not allow respondents to consider others’ emotions, i. e. the desire to win at any cost blocks the defense mechanisms of emotional intelligence. This is a dangerous and uncontrolled state that borders on the affective state and can have detrimental consequences for junior athletes. Discussion and conclusions. It was substantiated that the research into emotional intelligence in the structure of junior athletes’ volitional control is a successful attempt to establish correlations between the parameters of the examined phenomena applying relevant psycho-diagnostic methodologies, sensitive to critical periods in the formation of a junior athlete’s personality, the development of worldviews, and age-related patterns of psychophysiological processes. There was a caveat that low values of the parameter “self-control of an athlete’s health and disease” can pose a latent danger, especially in team sports, where the absence of key players can have a considerable impact on the tactical organization of the game. It is recommended that the established scientific facts about the dimensions of EQ and the parameters of volitional control be implemented in work with juniors in all learning, training, competitive, and rehabilitative activities.Item DATA-DRIVEN DECISION-MAKING TO IDENTIFY THE TARGET AUDIENCE OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS USING MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES(2025) Kobets, V.; Gulin, D.; Popovych, I. S.; Попович, І. С.The increasing prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in various sectors has led to a growing need for higher education institutions (HEIs) to adopt data-driven decision making (DDDM) processes. This study explores the use of ML techniques to identify the target group of applicants, enabling the effective allocation of resources for marketing and careers activities. The research highlights the importance of access to diverse and large datasets in order to train accurate ML models. HEIs with established AI teams, trainingAQ1 strategies, collaborations with AI service providers, and a digitized and robust data infrastructure are better placed to make effective use of AI/ML tools. For higher education authorities, it is crucial to interpret the insights derived from applicant data. Decision support methods using AI include expert systems, ML, neural networks and deep learning architectures. ML can improve various areas withinAQ2 HEI, such as predicting applicant numbers, personalizing education, preventing dropouts, improving efficiency, recruiting and automating routine tasks. The aim of this research is to develop models based on ML that can accu- rately predict the probability of an applicant’s admission to an HEI using DDDM. Among all the methods, the KNN algorithm showed the best result in predicting the admission of applicants with an accuracy of 0.8378. The logistic model also has a high accuracy of 0.8108. The KNN model among classification algorithms is the best according to the RMSE criterion. The research provides insights into the use of ML techniques for data-driven decision making in higher education, while emphasizing the need for public over- sight, stakeholder involvement and balanced integration of ML into the educational process.Item CORRELATION BETWEEN JUNIORS’ MENTAL HEALTH PARAMETERS AND SPORTS MOTIVATION(2024) Kurova, A.; Popovych, I. S.; Zablotskyi, A.; Bazyka, Y.; Poleshchuk, L.; Hoi, N.; Los, O.; Попович, І. С.o explore the relationship between mental health parameters and sports motivation among junior athletes. Methods: The research sample included junior athletes aged 15–19 who trained regularly and pursued sports as a means of professional self-realization. An equal number of male (n = 32; 50.00%) and female athletes (n = 32; 50.00%) were selected. The sample maintained a balance between individual and team sports, with n = 32 (50.00%) participants from individual sports and n = 32 (50.00%) from team sports. Descriptive statistics for the sample were as follows: M = 18.12; SD = ±2.97; Me = 18.00. The parameters of mental health, the level of juniors’ positive mental health and health status, and groups of intrinsic and extrinsic motives were measured with valid and reliable psycho-diagnostic tools. Standard coefficients were used to establish statistical significance. Results. Two athletes’ profiles were created: a three-dimensional profile of mental health and a profile of sports motivation. Eighteen significant correlations between the parameters of groups of intrinsic and extrinsic motives and the mental health of athletes were established (p ≤ .050; p ≤ .010; p ≤ .001), three of them being inverse. The motive of skill development has the strongest correlations with an internal locus of control over health, positive mental health, and health status. The comparative matrix allowed for identifying the superiority of Group 1 (a high level of the parameters of mental health) in four pairs of dimensions: positive mental health and positive emotions; an internal locus of control and skill development; positive mental health and skill development; health status and skill development. No significant difference was found in the level of health status (Group 1 > 38.00 ≤ 1 Group 2) in the parameter “demotivation”. Discussion and conclusions. It was substantiated that systematic work on oneself, which manifests in self-improvement of technical and practical skills, allows purposeful and hard-working junior athletes to achieve remarkable sports results. The motives of learning new things and positive emotions with four direct correlations each are the most dependent ones. There is a caveat that junior athletes’ health status as a complex state of physical, emotional, and mental well-being may weaken sports motivation. It was recommended that the results obtained should be considered by administrators, coaches, psychologists, and managers of sports institutions who work with junior athletesItem ANALYTICAL MODEL OF A SHIP’S STABILITY ON A REGULAR WAVE(2024) Zinchenko, S.; Tovstokoryi, O.; Kyrychenko, K.; Nosov, P.; Popovych, I. S.; Попович, І. С.One of the main dangers of sailing in storms is the change in the stability of ships due to waves, which in some cases can even lead to its overturning. Therefore, the task of constant control of the ship’s stability during the voyage is an urgent scientific and technical task. A systematic approach, analysis and synthesis, methods of mathematical analysis, integral calculus, and numerical modeling were used during the research. An analytical model was developed for calculating the restoring moment in the roll channel under regular waves, depending on the geo- metric dimensions of the ship’s hull, immersion parameters, ship motion parameters, and wave parameters. The obtained results di↵er from the known solutions in that they have an analytical form and can be used to assess stability in real time. The theoretical significance of the obtained results lies in the development of an analytical model for estimating sta- bility on regular excitation. The practical value of the obtained results consists in: checking the operability of the analytical model during a computational experiment and the possibility of its use in an on-board computer of an automated or automatic control system.Item RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND COPING STRATEGIES IN JUNIOR ATHLETES’ BEHAVIOR DURING EXTREME COMPETITIVE SITUATIONS(2024) Halian, I.; Popovych, I. S.; Charkina, O.; Halian, A.; Danko, D.; Zaverukha, O.; Haponenko, L.; Kryzhanovskyi, O.; Попович, І. С.This study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence and coping strategies among 132 junior athletes during extreme competitive situations. Methods: Valid psychodiagnostic methodologies were employed, along with descriptive statistics, normality tests (Kolmogorov–Smirnov and Shapiro–Wilk), regression analysis, and statistical significance coefficients. Results: The study revealed a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and coping strategies in extreme competitive environments. Results highlighted the importance of emotional intelligence as a key factor in understanding and managing both personal and others’ emotions, contributing to psychological well-being. Junior athletes demonstrated moderate levels of interpersonal abilities, specifically in empathy (M = 9.23 ± .494; SD = 5.681) and understanding others’ emotions (M = 8.10 ± .561; SD = 6.449). Junior athletes’ intrapsychic skills are at a low level (“emotional awareness” (М = 10.32 ± .489; SD = 5.322); “self-motivation” (М = 5.95 ± .621; SD = 7.133); and “managing emotions” (М = 1.76 ± .705; SD = 8.097). Differences in the manifestation of junior athletes’ emotional intelligence were identified by gender. In particular, statistically significant differences were found on the following scales of emotional intelligence: “emotional awareness” (t = -1,95; p = .049; d = -.570), “managing emotions” (t = 2.392; p = .018; d = .699), and “empathy” (t = -2.356; p = .02; d = -.688). The preference for problem-oriented coping and avoidance-oriented coping in choosing the method for dealing with extreme situations was found. A regression model (F = 43.581; p = 000) for problem-oriented coping which accounts for more than 50.00% of the data variance (R2 = .505; p = .005) was determined. The model included such predictors as “recognizing others’ emotions” (β = .296; t = 3.463; p = .001), “self-motivation” (β = .306; t = 3.696; p = .000), and “emotional awareness” (β = .230; t = 2.845; p = .005). Statistically significant differences between junior female and male athletes were identified by “emotion-oriented coping” (t = -2.644; p = .009; d = -.772). Discussion and conclusions: The decisive role of the predictor “recognizing others’ emotions” in using “problem-oriented coping” was observed. “Self-motivation” and “emotional awareness” accompany this predictor. Research into the impact of regulatory characteristics of the individual as a factor of the effectiveness of coping strategies for managing stress in uncertain and difficult situations is deemed promising.Item APPLICATION OF THE CONDITIONAL OPTIMIZATION METHOD IN THE PROBLEM OF VESSEL STORMY SAILING(2024) Zinchenkо, S.; Tovstokoryi, O.; Mateichuk, V.; Nosov, P.; Popovych, I. S.; Kyrychenko, K.; Попович, І. С.Stormy sailing conditions are among the most extreme and dangerous. The rocking of the ship in the roll and trim channels greatly exhausts the crew, which leads to an increase in the number of errors when making management decisions. The situation worsens also due to the fact that during a storm such dangerous phenomena as harmonic and parametric resonances, a decrease in stability on passing waves, broaching, impacts of group waves in the stern, which can lead to the , hull destruction, overloads of the power plant and occurrence of blackouts. The most radical way to combat such dangers is the automation of control processes. The authors have developed a method of automatic and optimal control of the ship's movement in storm conditions, which allows to avoid the occurrence and development of dangerous phenomena that lead to the capsize of the ship. The obtained result is explained by: the use of an on-board computer in the ship's motion control system; constant measurement of ship movement parameters and waves; finding, at each step of the on-board computer, safe and optimal values of the ship's course and speed by solving the optimization problem; taking into account when solving the optimization problem linear and non-linear constraints of the type of inequalities that define dangerous areas; maintaining safe and optimal movement parameters using the automatic control system. The theoretical significance of the obtained result lies in the development of a method of automatic and optimal control of the ship's movement in conditions of stormy sailing. The practical significance of the obtained results consists in: verification of the developed method by mathematical modeling; the possibility of using the method in the automatic control system, which allows to automate and optimize the processes of controlling a ship in a storm, reduce the influence of the human factor on control processes, crew fatigue, risks of losing the ship and cargo, and generally increase the safety of shippingItem SELF-ATTITUDES IN THE STRUCTURE OF MOTIVATIONAL ORIENTATION OF JUNIOR ATHLETES(2024) Popovych, I. S.; Savchuk, O.; Matusiak, H.; Kruglov, K.; Kryzhanovskyi, O.; Danko, D.; Huzar, V.; Попович, І. С.The purpose of this study is to perform theoretical and empirical research on the role of self-attitude in shaping and developing the motivational orientation of junior athletes. Methods: The research sample consisted of junior male and female athletes aged 15–19 years (n = 82) (M = 17.22; SD = ±1.68; Me = 17). All participants trained at the sports schools “LSSCY Enerhetyk” in Lviv, Ukraine and “SSSYOR №1” in Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine. They represented individual sports such as freestyle wrestling, judo, Greco–Roman wrestling, track and field, and artistic gymnastics, as well as team sports including football and volleyball. To assess self-attitude, the “Methods of Studying Self-Attitude” (Panteleev, 1993) were used. The dimensions of motivational orientation were evaluated using the “Athlete’s Motivational Orientation” questionnaire (Smoldovskaya, 2022), and the relevant motives for juniors’ sporting activities were identified through the “Motivation of Sports Activities” questionnaire (Fomenko & Lukova, 2021). Results. Twenty-five correlations, including nineteen direct correlations and six inverse correlations, were established. It was established that the most loaded parameters of juniors’ self-attitudes are “self-acceptance” (SAc) with six correlations and “result-focused motivational orientation” (RsM) with seven correlations. Significant superiority of a high level of self-acceptance (Group 1) was determined by all the parameters of juniors’ motivational orientation. It was emphasized that superiority by such parameters of self-attitude as “self-management” (U = 1656.50; р = .031) and “self-acceptance” (U = 1448.00; р <.001) testifies to the significance of self-management and self-acceptance for junior athletes. It was underscored that continuous negative emotions, even in juniors with high personal achievements, are capable of destroying sports success, which is indicated by the only significant superiority of Group 4 (low levels of RsM) by the parameter “self-blame” (U = 1502.00; р <.001). Discussion and conclusions. It was substantiated that the research into the phenomenon of self-attitude in the structure of motivational orientation is the study of reflective characteristics of junior athletes’ self-awareness aimed at achieving optimal sports results in training, competitive, and recovery activities. The development of reflective abilities, the improvement of self-regulation readiness and the formation of self-attitude have a direct correlation with motivational orientation, which can have a positive effect on performance in sporting activities. It was recommended that the obtained scientific results should be implemented in the educational and training process of sports schools for children and youth.
