The article deals with the phenomena of lifestyle and educational environment of confessional educational organizations. The methodological basis of the research is based on general scientific methodological approaches (system, comparative, historical, ontological) and special scientific methodological approaches: a system-activity approach, which assumes a motivated solution of problems in the educational process determined by problem situations; a cultural approach that allows us to correlate general, individual and special cultural phenomena, in particular religion and education; an anthropological approach that allowed the interpretation of knowledge from various spheres of life from the point of view of pedagogy. The article contains definitions of the following concepts: «Lifestyle of a confessional educational organization» and «Educational environment of a confessional educational organization». The role of religious worship in the development and functioning of the confessional educational environment is noted. The main factors of the external environment that have a determining influence on the confessional educational environment are highlighted. The author emphasizes the open nature of the modern confessional educational process, which unfolds in the context of a dialogue between all its parties: the religious denomination, the state and the individual.

Introduction. The need to set up a private enforcement institute arose from the problem of enforcement of court decisions. The activities of state executors are clearly regulated, have experience and achievements. A private contractor is authorized by the state to carry out enforcement activities, but from an economic point of view, he is a self-employed person, which means that he is financially interested in the results of his work. The economic aspect of private contractor activity is not well understood to date. Methods. The study is based on the use of the historical and comparative method in determining the prerequisites for establishing an institute of private performers in Ukraine and in the world. A generalization method was used to determine general properties in the taxation of private contractors. The efficiency of the work and the feasibility of introducing a “private” element in the enforcement of court decisions was proved by the method of analysis. The method of grouping was used to determine the taxation base for the performance of private contractors. Results. The organizational and legal aspects of the activity of private contractors have been determined. The economic advantages and disadvantages of introducing the Institute of Private Performers are presented. The procedure for recognition of income and formation of costs of private contractors is outlined. It is proved inadmissible to identify the concepts of “costs of enforcement proceedings” and “costs of private executors”. The necessity of accounting and control of results of activity of private contractors is substantiated. Discussion. Prospects for further researches will be to develop recommendations for accounting for deposit accounts; accounts intended to be credited to enforcement proceedings; accounts intended to account for the principal and additional remuneration of private contractors; payroll calculations; payments with budget for taxes, fees, other required payments private artist revenue and expenses, etc. Keywords: enforcement proceedings, self-employed entities, private contractor, remuneration of private contractor, costs of enforcement proceedings, costs of private contractor, income of private contractor.

The introduction of information and communication technologies in the educational process of teaching various disciplines is becoming increasingly important. Accordingly, the issue of application of these technologies in the teaching of chemical disciplines is relevant, namely the study of the possibility of using virtual laboratories in Chemistry as an interactive learning tool to improve the learning process and provide opportunities for professional and research skills. The purpose of the article is to study the possibilities of using virtual laboratories in the process of teaching chemical disciplines and to determine the opinion of students on the effectiveness of this type of activity. The following research methods are used in the article: theoretical – analysis of scientific publications on the research problem; systematization and generalization of information; empirical – questionnaires and analysis of its results. The article considers the advantages and disadvantages of using virtual Chemistry laboratories in the educational process. The article analyzes the concept of «virtual laboratory» and gives the definition of a virtual laboratory of Chemistry as a software environment that allows to form practical skills by conducting laboratory experiments, simulating the sequence of actions of the researcher in real laboratory (or managing chemical plants by robotic means) with use of computer models or contactless (remotely) with real equipment and reagents. We consider the virtual Chemistry laboratories available on the Internet, which provides free access to the educational resources and explores their didactic and methodological opportunities to increase the level of formation of practical skills and abilities during chemical experiments. It is established that the use of a virtual laboratory in Chemistry contributes to the formation of practical skills in conducting interactive laboratory classes with further consolidation in real conditions; provides an individual pace of mastering the skills of chemical experiment; allows students to explore processes that require special conditions; increases the motivation to master new material by working in a virtual environment that is familiar and interesting for the modern student; provides realization of its independent preparation for performance of experiments in real laboratory conditions. It is substantiated the use of virtual laboratories in Chemistry cannot substitute the traditional performance of laboratory work, but is only a supplementary form.

  La literatura científica constata la potencialidad que el conflicto puede generar en las aulas cuando se supera su sentido negativo y se inserta en el proceso educativo. Este planteamiento positivo del conflicto debiera ser asumido por los diferentes educadores de cualquier institución escolar para implementar programas alternativos a la violencia y enseñar a manejar los conflictos constructivamente. La Educación Física (EF) se presenta insólita para impulsar la gestión del conflicto en un espacio real de práctica y sobre un contexto de juego con equipos atacantes y defensores. Desde esta perspectiva, el objetivo principal del texto es mostrar una propuesta de enseñanza destinada a los últimos cursos de educación primaria. El desarrollo de la investigación, continuado en forma de tesis doctoral, se enmarca en un enfoque cuasiexperimental sobre un diseño de dos grupos (experimental y de control), desde una muestra de 130 participantes de dos colegios de Cullera (Valencia). El tratamiento (programa) se diseña desde la propia táctica del juego, y en su estructura queda incorporado el ‘conflicto colateral’, como fin didáctico, para aprender a gestionarlo entre sus miembros participantes. Sobre la práctica educativa, cabe reflejar que toma su origen de la enseñanza comprensiva; se fundamenta sobre un enfoque organizativamente participativo-colaborativo; y queda integrada en un escenario de cultura mediadora. Desde el ámbito de la EF escolar, se concluye que el método táctico-deportivo podría ser una alternativa para educar la gestión positiva del conflicto, posibilitando que el alumnado enfrentara las barreras de la comunicación y aprendiera a contrarrestar sus estereotipos destructivos.  Abstract. Scientific literature confirms the potential that conflict can generate in the classroom when its negative meaning is overcome and it is inserted into the educational process. This positive perspective to conflict should be assumed by the different educators of any school institution to implement alternative programs to violence and teach how to handle conflicts constructively. Physical Education (PE) is unusual to promote conflict management in a real practical space and in a game context with attacking and defending teams. From this point of view, the main goal of the text is to show a teaching proposal aimed at the last years of primary education. The research study, continued in the form of a doctoral thesis, is framed in a quasi-experimental method on a two-group design (experimental and control), from a sample of 130 participants from two schools in Cullera (Valencia). The treatment (program) is designed from the game's own tactic, and the ‘collateral conflict’ is incorporated into its structure, as a didactic purpose, to learn to manage it among its participating members. Regarding educational practice, it should be reflected that it takes its origin from comprehensive teaching; it is based on an organizational participatory-collaborative strategy; and is integrated into a setting of mediating culture. In the PE context, it is concluded that the tactical-sports method could be an alternative to educate positive conflict management, enabling students to face communication barriers and learn to counteract their destructive stereotypes.

The article is devoted to the issue of using open geographic information systems in training of the students majoring in «Computer Sciences» particularly in the framework of «Geographic information systems» discipline. The objectives, the task and the place of "Geographic information systems" discipline in the system of training the students of IT specialties have been determined. The analysis of curricula of several domestic higher education institutions that provide training in computer sciences has shown the prevailing orientation of using the proprietary geoinformation systems and technologies in the educational process. In the authors’ opinion, it sufficiently narrows the didactic potential of the «Geographic information systems» discipline reducing the level of its information saturation. It is proposed to use open geo-information systems in the learning process, which will create conditions for more qualitative and productive students’ understanding of creation, operation and implementation of geo-information systems to address real-world applied issues. A comparative analysis of the most worldwide open-source desktop geographic information systems has been conducted in order to identify their potential for the use of training. The directions of using open geo-information systems from the point of view of organizational process as well as from the perspective of training efficiency are described. The advantages and disadvantages of leveraging open geographic information systems, namely: QGIS, GRASS GIS, Whitebox GAT, Saga GIS, gvSiG, ILWIS, uDIG, MapWindow GIS for the teaching of the «Geographic Information Systems» discipline have been determined. The authors recommend to use such open geographic information systems as uDIG, QGIS, Whitebox GAT in the teaching of the university discipline at the start of educational courses; the choice of geographic information systems for senior students is limited solely to the goals and objectives set by the university teachers to future professionals in computer sciences.
