The influence of quarantine restrictions on the soft skills building in students majoring in “Choreography” is determined. Keywords: soft skills; flexible skills; competitiveness; future choreographers; students; educational components; competence; teaching methods; forms of teaching

Nowadays, students are future professionals, and they can choose a research activity. Modern students need to know the peculiarities of the scientific research organization because the future of science depends on their level of knowledge. In the process of studying, university students master the discipline “Methods and organization of scientific research”. In the context of this discipline, they learn to think scientifically, acquire new knowledge while writing term papers and dissertations, master scientific methods. The study of the discipline also involves the assimilation of scientific terms. Such terms are, in particular, method and methodology. The article demonstrates the contradictory views of scientists on the concept of methodology. It is confirmed that the concept of methodology is not fully clarified, and students often cannot distinguish between the concepts of a method and methodology. The purpose of the article is to explain the concept of methodology. The essence of the concept of methodology as a doctrine of methods, as well as a system of methods is substantiated. The paper also explains the relevance of the methodology for practical activities related to modern technologies, such as social communications, and justifies the importance of the methodology for science. Scientific knowledge is based on philosophical, general scientific, interdisciplinary and special methodology. In the article the methodology of science, the methodology of scientific research and the methodology of scientific activity are considered as synonyms; we have also argued that the notions approach, technique, method and manner are synonymous. A small comparison of science and philosophy is made, that determines the role of philosophical methodology for science and explains the role of a new philosophical synergetic worldview for the development of science. The article is dominated by the view of the expediency of modern methodological pluralism. Keywords: science; philosophy; methodology; method; synergetic; methodological pluralism; knowledge; scientific research.

This paper presents an analysis of issues of contemporary processes related to global higher education dynamics. The paper is based on the analysis of research results of well-known researchers of global higher education reality, as well as on the author’s own research results within the Erasmus program. It states that new aspects of the mission of a university as an institution were added to such aspects as research, teaching and service, in accordance with social requirements. It also reveals that the concept of the world-class research university of the XXI century of Prof. P. Altbach and the model of the entrepreneurial university of Prof. B. Clark, which work in the conditions of growing competition between higher education, represent a new world higher education reality in the early XXI century. The paper reveals that the global market of higher education services has been established as an instrument of higher education changes. In this context, the traditional providers of educational services and the “new providers” compete for or complement the supply. The paper shows that the traditional providers of educational services are public and private universities. It emphasizes that University has become only one of the actors in the new “knowledge business” nowadays and discusses that recently we have witnessed the emergence of new types of higher education providers. The paper considers the emergence of new providers of higher education as indicators of the direction of higher education dynamics in the immediate future. These “new providers” include corporate universities, virtual universities and online courses, a certification system of competence in computer technology, commercial IT and media companies, networks of professional associations, national or international research networks, international conglomerates and consortia, and publishers, who are designing and delivering course materials, sometimes in partnership with universities. It is highlighted that to operate and develop in current higher education dynamics, universities should simultaneously compete, positioning themselves, and cooperate, overcoming obstacles by joint efforts with partners. Keywords: higher education; higher education dynamics; market of higher education services; internationalization; World-class research university; entrepreneurial university; corporate university; virtual university; mixed mode training called Hybrid; providers of educational services.

This article discusses the concept of “professional skills of choreographers” as a system. The paper notes that choreography, being one of the spatio-temporal arts, is changing in accordance with the development of social relations and the requirements of today, which highlight the return to universal values, deep folk traditions and culture. Preservation of cultural values takes place in the socio-cultural sphere and is carried out by specialists in the field of choreography. The article considers the need to determine the criteria of professional skill of choreographers in the conditions of free educational institutions and institutions of culture and arts on the basis of a systematic approach, which will fix the insufficiency of old, traditional teaching methods for setting and solving new pedagogical tasks. This paper states that the definition of “professional skill” from the standpoint of a systems approach means understanding it not as a set of individual skills and techniques, but as a system that is in the unity and relationship of components determined by the general and professional development of the individual. The system approach designed in our research corresponds to didactic laws and principles, and also includes a complex of methods, forms, means of the organization and realization of educational process, organizational and methodical procedures and is directed on formation at choreographers of all components of professional skill during their training in higher education institutions. The article also emphasizes that the repeated and continuous application of the principles of a systematic approach to the formation of professional skills of choreographers will ensure a stable result in the educational and creative process of higher education institutions and cultural and arts institutions for training young professionals. improvement of choreographic education and choreographic art. Keywords: choreography, choreographer, professional training, system, system approach, professional skill, professionalism.

This research paper is devoted to the clarification of mechanisms of correlation that function in the language and cognition. The study has been conducted on varied language material with the consideration of the level structure of modern linguistics, particularly phonetic, morphemic, lexical, morphological, syntactical levels. In this paper, we used the method of theoretical analysis of works and existing academic definitions based on the mechanisms of correlation that made it possible to determine differential signs that reveal its underlying content and interpretation. Applying correlation as a terminological notion, modern linguistics determines in it the following key signs and features: systemic relation, opposition nature, modeling character, dichotomous structure etc. The mechanisms of correlation embodied in the language (analogue, comparison, modelling, functional commonness etc.) that enable to learn the many-sided nature of being influence the person from the moment of birth, forming a naïve picture of the child’s world, introducing the child into the ethnic and language environment, familiarizing with the basics of material and spiritual culture, determining the most essential spatial sense coordinates in the cognition of the world. It is relevant to apply these mechanisms as a categorical notion, since it is the mechanism of correlation that becomes the background of the development of the conceptual language picture of the world of an ethnos, being the marker of the national language, traditions, culture, and human cognition. The category of correlation is a philosophical and esthetic notion of oppositional nature (e.g. object-subject, general-concrete, similar-different) the nature of which is in the character of human cognition itself, their mechanisms becoming the background of spreading any information (intellectual, spiritual, cultural, esthetic, imaginative, etc.). The mentioned specific features find their reflection in any language notion; they determine the language system of each ethnos. Keywords: correlation, cognition, ethnos, analogy, comparison, modelling, functional commonness, oppositional character, category.

The article reveals the essence of the concept of independent work of students on the methods of teaching Ukrainian literature, forms, types, content and necessity of independent work.Independent work of higher education seekers is an important form of the educational process in modern higher education institutions. It is aimed at forming the independence of students and their assimilation of knowledge, skills, abilities and is carried out under the condition of the introduction of the corresponding system of the organization of all educational employment.Forms of independent work on the discipline for students are different and are determined by the working curriculum, depending on the purpose, objectives and content of the discipline.The following types of independent work of students are revealed: independent work that provides preparation for current classroom classes; search and analytical work; scientific work; internships at enterprises and organizations, pedagogical practice.It is proved that a significant role in the formation of independence and activity is played by teaching students the general techniques of organizing their activities which allows them to facilitate their independent work, to focus on the content of tasks. Such techniques and skills include the ability to work with a book, dictionary, technical means; ability to analyse tasks, classify, compare, summarize, etc.In the process of performing independent search and analytical work on the methods of teaching Ukrainian literature, students select literary sources on the research problem, analyse them, prepare reports, abstracts.A system of questions and tasks for independent work of students on the methods of teaching Ukrainian literature in secondary and senior specialized humanities schools is proposed, the material on the main problems of methodological science is structured. Particular attention is paid to research work on methodology.

The article focuses on building digital competencies in future teachers of the Humanities. It was established that introducing digital technology into studying the humanities generates new opportunities that had previously been unavailable. These issues are covered by Digital Humanities – a field of research, education and creation at a nexus of computer science and humanities. To solve the problem, a selective discipline, called Digital Technologies in Education, has been introduced. This can be adapted for retraining school teachers and university lecturers. The topics of the discipline are arranged in such a way that studying one module prepares students for covering every subsequent module. The whole course is divided into 4 modules: 1) Developing instructional materials by means of digital technologies; 2) Planning and organizing the learning process by means of digital technologies; 3) Distance learning; 4) Professional development as a way to manifest teacher’s identity. The practical use of this discipline will raise students’ awareness of digital technologies that will help them make this process easier and more effective; the students will explore popular software and services for distance learning arrangement and acquire skills of using them. Different aspects of teacher’s job are mentioned, they are as following: planning and organizing the learning process (this often entails a lot of paperwork); aspiration for professional development, learning new things, and adjusting curricula to modern reality.In this paper, we have presented the discipline, with the help of which students will gain and extend knowledge of all above-mentioned areas as well as practical skills of implementing digital technologies in education and professional life.

Keywords: inclusive education, inclusive tourism, people with special needs, overcoming barriers, socialization, integration, social adaptation, social and psychological rehabilitation.

The article describes the dominant tendencies of modern language education and substantiates the relevance of the text-centric study of the Ukrainian language. In the system of educational institutions, the emphasis is placed on learning the knowledge of the theory of language and is directed to the practical ability to use them. The teaching of the Ukrainian language is currently considered in the area of the formation of the communicative competence of the linguistic personality, its ability to actively produce and reproductive speech activity in oral and written form, in different situations and spheres of communication. The purpose of the paper is to determine the advantages, value, and significance of the text-centric study of the Ukrainian language to characterize the essence of the methodology of forming the linguistic personality on a textual basis, to develop and experimentally verify the methodical system of development of communicative skills using the technology of the development of critical thinking. Methods of research: theoretical ‒ analysis and synthesis of scientific sources, analysis of current programs, textbooks, manuals; empirical ‒ observation of the educational process; interviews with teachers and students, professors and students, questionnaires; deduction, induction; pedagogical experiment; statistical ‒ quantitative and qualitative analysis of the obtained results. The leading role in the system of training linguistic personality belongs to the communicative and cognitive methodology of teaching the Ukrainian language. Critical thinking as a kind of intellectual activity of a person is characterized by a high level of perception, comprehension, and analysis of the text in order to create his own statement. Text-centric study of the Ukrainian language appears as an integral methodical system that forms the skills of working with information (text) in the process of reproductive and productive speech activity. The application of the technology of critical thinking to the practice of language learning contributes to the formation of communicative competence. Keywords: language personality, cognitive technique, communicative technique, technology of Ukrainian language teaching, text-centric approach, text, discourse, technology of critical thinking.

In modern linguistics the research of verb syntax and semantics is still relevant. Although there are a number of Ukrainian dialectologists’ works on the verbs functioning in the structure of the dialect language at different levels, the problem of realization of verb syntactic and semantic valency in the Eastern Polissian dialect in the context of the Ukrainian literary language is still not considered, that shows the relevance of the proposed research. The sources of the research are the dialect materials recorded during 2009–2019 by the author in Chernihiv and Sumy regions, materials of «Dictionary of the Ukrainian language» (in 11 vol. and in 20 vol.), «Phraseological dictionary of the Ukrainian language» (in 2 books) and «General regionally annotated Corpus of the Ukrainian language» (version 10). During the research it is applied the method of purposeful interview - for recording of the dialect material, the descriptive method, which includes methods of observation, interpretation and comparison, which represents dialect material in the paper, the methods of contextual analysis - to identify the semantic processes and the methods of corpus analysis - to define the literary equivalents. Although the paper does not provide a systematic study of the difference between the verb syntactic and semantic valency in the dialect and literary languages, but the general tendencies of dialect phenomena are outlined, in particular the author reveals the reduction of preposition на in the construction С|векар ме|не л’уба|ваўс’а, syntactic localism - |ноде |буд’еш, voice transposition and diathesis change in the context of syntagmatics in the constructions Йа |пасʼ:а ← Йа пас |конеĭ with the saving of subject’s activity, expanding the repertoire of meanings in the constructions Йа на |конʼах ро|биў, Йа |кʼінʼми ро|биў ‘graze horses’, Га|моним на ўс’у |губу ‘to speak a lot of the dialect language’ (negative), |Баби мужи|ком ба|лакайутʼ ʻto speak in a rough voice (about a woman)ʼ in the context of the literary language. The use of the corpus (GRAK-10) helps to establish the functioning of corresponding to the recorded in dialect constructions in the literary language. The linguistic data revealed in the Eastern Polissian dialect testify either a larger archaic syntactic and semantic matrix, or an actualization of the dialect speakers’ language creation, that requires further investigation.

The paper is devoted to the status of dialects of the settlements in Nadvirna district, Ivano-Frankivsk region, which required a through studying of the works of well-known dialectologists of the boundaries of pokutskyi, naddnistrianskyi, hutsulskyi, boikivskyi dialects. The paper contains the analysis of the linguistic maps of AUL (Atlas of the Ukrainian language), made by S. Bevzenko, О. Horbach, Ya. Zakrevska, F. Zhylko, Ya. Yanіv, Т. Yastremska; it also includes descriptive works of the researchers of sub-dialects of a south-west dialect where dialects of settlements of Nadvirna distirct, Ivano-Frankivsk region were represented. The material, cartographed by precursors, has proved that dialects of Nadvirna area are not similar at all language levels. It was stated that researchers chose various networks of dialects which did not allow them to draw demarcation lines between hutsulskyi, naddnistrianskyi, pokutskyi and boikivskyi dialects. In descriptive works about these dialects a starting point in defining boundaries is Nadvirna, part of Nadvirna district (except for the settlements in the north), part of Nadvirna area to the north of Yaremche and others. The attention has been paid to the fact that a demarcation line can stretch for tens and hundreds of kilometers. The assumption has been made that a greater part of Nadvirna area will have a status of transitional dialects. Some own maps of lexical-semantic phenomena, which helped separate groups of dialects – a northern group, a south-eastern group, were analyzed. It has been stated that a larger number of cartographic data will enable to elaborate the boundaries of dialects which contact, to determine transitional dialects, to identify zones and groups of dialects on Naddniprianshchyna area.

The paper describes the results of a research study on the problem of future teachers’ training based on the analysis of scientific literature and law regulated documents. The analysis revealed two main innovative approaches (regulatory-directed and subjectively intended) to future foreign languages teachers’ training in institutions of higher education in Ukraine that appear in the new changes in higher education in particular. The authors found out that mentioned innovative approaches should be evaluated as the most powerful and positive in their results: structural and semantic upgrade of future teachers’ training in higher education institutions (three-level model of training, additional profiles training, competence-oriented content training) and provide its further resource update (personnel, informational, technological, etc.).

The article considers the didactic conditions of musical training of choreographers in higher education institutions of our state. In this work the structural didactic features of musical competence of choreographers are defined, such as: feature of professional activity planning; ways and methods of performing professional activities; communication techniques; organizational skills of choreographers; features of dance and motor motility. The article also states that the author considers an individual approach to take into account the ways of adapting the properties of studentsʼ nervous system to the requirements of professional activity as an effective method of musical training of choreographers in domestic higher education institutions. The article also deals with an individual approach, which takes into account the individual differences of students, the development of techniques, tools and methods of forming professional and musical skills of choreographers, due to the typological properties of the nervous system. At the heart of the individual approach considered in the study there is the idea of understanding a developing student as a person with a unique set of individual qualities. This involves the recognition of different, but equivalent in effectiveness methods of educational and creative activities that meet the objective requirements of the professional activity of the teacher and the individual characteristics of the future specialist.Also, in this paper, it is noted that in pedagogical science didactics is connected with the methods of teaching courses. The method of teaching folk dance is somewhat different from other choreographic disciplines due to the specifics of national dance. All textbooks, programs and methodical materials on folk choreography are authorʼs versions and naturally cannot be accepted by all experts identically. Keywords: musical training, music theory, choreographer, professional training, didactics, didactic bases of training, professional skill, systematic approach to musical training.

The paper deals with theoretical analysis and practical development of the problem of learning English scientific vocabulary by Master students in the course of “English for Academic Purposes”. English is used for a wide range of communicative intentions, in particular, for scientific communication. Academic communication is one of the leading, as it contributes to the development of science and society. English scientific vocabulary allows students to gain access to modern science and the opportunity to present the results of their research to the world community, prepare scientific written works on their specialty. The purpose of this article is to develop an innovative system of exercises for teaching scientific vocabulary in the English for Academic Purposes course. The analysis of modern linguistic, psychological, linguodidactic researches has allowed to define the basic features of innovative approaches to the academic discourse scientific vocabulary learning. Using a method of systematization and classification of language material and a method of logical-didactic relationship of pedagogical actions, we have developed a system of exercises for mastering scientific vocabulary by Master students in the English for Academic Purposes course. The system of exercises provides the language acquisition by students through repetition of language units in the isolated form and in form of original and adapted scientific sentences and pedagogical texts according to students’ specialty. The system of exercises is aimed at learning general scientific and abstract vocabulary, pedagogical terms, set expressions, abbreviations, linking phrases and verbs. The purposes of the exercises are: presentation, repetition of actions with language units and the use of the language units in oral and written speech at the text level.

The article deals with the peculiarities of professional foreign language training of tactical level officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It describes some problems of training military personnel in higher military educational establishments of Ukraine. The paper also considers some aspects of the AFU officers’ professional foreign language training. The contradictions of professional foreign language training include the inconsistency of the requirements for individual training in connection with the need for teamwork during military service activities. Strict regulation of actions in the military environment, the formation of tolerance, and willingness to destroy a person in combat or service also belong to the above-mentioned problems. In order to solve the problems of foreign language preparation, it is necessary to create conditions that would encourage a willingness to communicate with different foreign language speakers. They include the rejection of unified models of learning, ignoring the learner’s personal characteristics; the flexibility of constructing the educational process, the relevance of the process content side to the motivational orientations of the subjects of learning as well as motivational support of the educational process. The educators have to oppose the devaluation of universal values, encourage cultural pluralism, tolerance, the development of different types of thinking and respect the learner’s personal right to be a unique individual.

In this paper the analyzes of the general education level of subject competence from physics of the first year students of National Transport University by the entrance control results was performed. The entrance control from physics was carried out at the beginning of 2017‒2018, 2018‒2019 and 2019‒2020 academic years. The tasks for entrance control included the problems, complexity of which did not go beyond the limits of the program of physics for general education institutions of the standard level. The number of students who performed the tasks of entrance control from physics was 540 people. The analysis of the results of the entrance control revealed that most of the first year students had significant difficulties in solving even simple qualitative and quantitative physical problems. The latter indicates that the general education level of subject competence from physics of first year students turned out to be low enough. Thus, it leads to significant difficulties in studying general physics course of the technical university level.Among the reasons for such low results of students from entrance control in physics are the following: insufficient theoretical training level of students from the general education physics course, which is a necessary condition for solving simple physical problems; insufficient motivation of students to perform the tasks of entrance control. The following is suggested to improve the situation: during the current control, together with other forms, it is worth to use physical dictation, which will contribute to raising the theoretical training level of students from general physics course. In order to increase students’ motivation to perform the entrance control tasks from physics, a score for entrance control should be included into the students’ rating system in the first semester.

The article aims to analyze elementary and secondary school systems in Italy and Ukraine for the English language teaching. The analysis has been done owing to the results of the questionnaire of English teachers of both countries. The experience of teaching in both countries, as well as the propositions of improvement, mentioned by teachers of in the questionnaire, are analyzed in the paper. The comparative analysis of the educational and teaching process; the organization of school life and learning/teaching process; equipment supply in the schools; the qualification of teachers and the methodology they use while teaching languages; syllabuses and the duration of lessons and breaks have been done. The other significant goal of the paper was to provide the professional opinion of the teachers from both countries about the benefits and drawbacks of the presented school systems. The result of the questionnaire and research pointed out to a statement that the combination of both school systems, introducing and adjusting benefits to the peculiar features of a country's educational system, could have a positive effect. To improve school system one should investigate school systems of other countries, compare and single out benefits, introduce and adjust them to the features of the school system of a particular country.

The article is devoted to the study of different approaches to the research of senior preschoolers’ social competence. The paper analyzes the development of the problem of individual’s social competence in native and foreign science. Additionally, it defines fundamental achievements of scientists. The authors reveal the peculiarities of the child’s mastering of social and historical experience and achievements of communication, interaction, cooperation with adults and peers. It is proved that the successful socialization of the preschooler is based on the child’s personality development, personality social maturity and the level of child’s social competence. As a result, it allows the child to take a worthy place in the system of relationships with adults and peers in the social environment. The process of social competence formation is based on the educational socio-cultural environment in which the child’s activities are unfolding. During the activity, the child forms the content of ideas about the social environment and his place in it, which in turn are transformed into external manifestations of activity, enriching its content. In particular, while participating in various activities, children form a system of ideas about the necessity to differentiate other people on the basis of attachment and kinship. To implement the methods of formation of senior preschoolers’ social competence, a system of ideas about the child, peers, and adults was developed, reflecting the holistic content of ideas about the components of the social environment, which can be understood by senior preschoolers. The complexity of the hierarchical system ideas development for preschoolers is that they should be based on the concepts in which the central connection of the objects of knowledge consists. The content of such concepts is difficult to deploy in the system of visual images, which are understandable for 5–6 year old children. Educational situational games, analytical exercises, interactive games, practical lessons with the use of modelling of common activities for children, parents and kindergarten staff (entertainment, leisure activity evenings, meetings with interesting people) are defined as the basic forms and methods of preschoolers’ education. All these various forms and methods of work with children have actualized the cognitive sphere of the older preschoolers: the pupils’ perception of the social world and their place in it has been deepened and systematized. Children learned to define unpredictable situations better.

The paper justifies the criteria and development levels of future teachers’ economic culture. They are an essential theoretical prerequisite for organizing a didactic experiment and a further study of trends in the development of the mentioned category. It is both necessary to determine the criteria of future teachers’ economic culture and identify their indicators in different components of the culture to solve such a scientific issue theoretically and practically. The criteria act as a means of assessment, a tool for substantiation, a particular norm based on which one can determine the development of certain qualities. The research on the issue of developing an economic culture in future teachers pays specific attention to a three-level hierarchy of competencies as its component. The standard block consists of key competencies. They are an invariant part of the economic culture: informational, organizational, socio-civic, communicative, automated competencies. Basic competencies are necessary for conducting economic activities. They include functional literacy, namely, economic competency, as well as environmental, legal and moral competencies. Specific competencies help future teachers with their teaching. Pedagogical, psychological and methodical competencies constitute a variable part. The analysis of scientific researches, the use of competency-based approach and the description of the connection between economic activities and the leading values in the research show that the content of the model for developing the economic culture in future teachers ensures the unity of economic, environmental, legal and moral competencies, which are the basic for future teachers’ economic culture and act as the criteria of its development. In addition to the system of criteria, the research covers communicative and didactic competencies that determine future teachers’ professional training.

Results. It has been found that the professional burnout of physicians has been a matter of concern for the government, professional medical associations, and the general public for physicians of various US specialties for a long time. Although burnout affects physicians of all disciplines, it has been discovered that, among family physicians, this phenomenon exceeds the average level, especially compared to the general economically active population of the United States. Two approaches to identifying and reducing the risk of occupational burnout in the United States have been identified and characterized: the first approach covers measures aimed directly at a physician, that is, a specific individual, and the second, involves measures aimed at an organization, that is, a medical institution. It has been found that American scientists have concluded that organizational measures are more effective, but the first approach should be applied as a first step in overcoming professional burnout. Practical meaning. The results of the research are applicable for further scientific exploration and practical problem solution of professional burnout of physicians, including family ones, in Ukraine. Prospects for further research. Methodology of surveys of physicians of various specialties on burnout, depression and professional satisfaction.
