The article handles from the standpoint of the situational-environmental approach to the design of educational systems, the substantive and procedural aspects of organizing the activities of educational situational centers, intended for the formation and development of the competencies of management personnel. The educational situational center is interpreted as an educational environment saturated with modern software and hardware, interacting with which the student acquires or improves the experience of making managerial decisions in non-standard and difficult situations, thereby increasing the level of his professional competence. Significant factors of the educational environment of the educational situational center include: conditions that stimulate the development of the reflective and creative experience of managerial specialists; conditions that provide opportunities for students to manifest subjective activity and independence; meaningful conditions that provide a meaning-generating, socio-cultural context of professional activity; conditions for comprehensive (physical, psychological, informational and cultural) safety of students. Each of these groups is assigned the risks of maladjustment of students in the educational environment, which are subject to pedagogical adjustment or dosage, depending on the level of formation of professional and personal experience of management specialists. On the basis of the presented results, conclusions were made regarding the didactic and methodological specifics of teaching in educational situational centers, the peculiarities of the implementation of educational and pedagogical activities in them.

Continuous improvement of self-regulation skills was necessary, which was the function of supervision as a form of professional competence improvement. Supervision cannot substitute for the support provided by one‘s colleagues, administration, the closest environment, or a priest, however, it can help to restore harmony, to reflect on one‘s professional experience, to name and to reconsider the stages of the process, to express the feelings experienced in the past and being experienced in the present, and to name the tensions arising between the professional and personal identities in the situation of intervention.

Among the basic principles of the English-language communication skills development for future seafarers is the principle of consciousness. Being implemented in a teaching and learning process it provides understanding as a fundamental component of the future seafarers’ professional competence. As a result, all the aspects of language knowledge (linguistic, speech, and linguo-sociocultural issues) are processed by the students consciously. They also become able to communicate in full compliance with a communicative situation and a specific cultural context. Moreover, effective learning tactics and strategies that students master reasonably are expected to facilitate them in their further life-long learning process. The students’ age, which is characterized by psychologists as a young adulthood, has a tendency for intellectual development. According to the scientists, at this particular period of time the change of a development focus takes its place, caused by a crucial point in human evolution. The sophisticated identity crisis of 17-year-olds occurs owing to the mismatch between the individual development and the social situation. Another situation, mediated by the educational and professional activity, as a leading one for this age is recognized as a factor that activates the comprehensive personality transformation and starts a new stage of mental development in adolescence, resulting in the intellectualization of all the cognitive processes, and therefore to a more deliberate mastery of knowledge.

The article analyzes the specifics of training future educators for work in an inclusive educational environment; the concept of inclusive educational environment is revealed; the emphasis is placed on the role of preschool institutions in the continuum (lifelong learning). Emphasis is placed on the following conditions of future professional readiness to work in an inclusive educational environment, namely the recognition of the values of inclusive education as guidelines for professional activity (equality, rights, participation, community, respect for diversity, sustainable development, nonviolence, trust, compassion, honesty, courage, joy, love, hope and beauty); the relationship of educational material of different disciplines of the professional and pedagogical cycle; inclusion of students in effective professional cooperation (pedagogical practice, co-teaching, mentoring, dialogue), improvement of professional competence of the future specialists (cognitive-motivational, reflective, communicative, multicultural, etc.). Speaking about the preparation of future educators to work in modern preschool education, it should be emphasized on the formation of students' ability to solve problems by applying the knowledge gained during the study of disciplines of the psychological and pedagogical cycle, and, accordingly, to create both in the classroom and outside it the educational environment focused on the features of future professional activity, to use their own experience during pedagogical practice, in accordance with the age characteristics of children and the specifics of the stage of their learning. The environment for the child development should be modern and contribute to the effective formation of children's competencies, skills of independent and joint activities, active interaction in society needed for realization of their own potential. Subject-spatial environment should be content-rich, ready for transformation; multifunctional; variable; available; safe. We support the view of many scholars that the worldview of educators should change, and that philosophy and principles of inclusion should become an integral part of professional thinking. We understand that it is important to analyze the experience of other countries, which has its advantages and challenges, and implement the best examples of pedagogical practice of providing support to children with special educational needs in educational process in Ukraine.

This article is devoted to the formation of professional competence in future teachers-psychologists. The problem of training a competent specialist teacher-psychologist is relevant in modern society.

In the article, the authors analyze ways to increase the professional competence of teachers of multidisciplinary IEP teams. This allows the conclusion that that the use of coaching is appropriate for mastering support specialists with inclusive technologies, as well as the ability to work in a team interaction mode. Despite the obvious advantages of teamwork, in Ukraine this format of work is still not mastered in an inclusive educational environment. In the article the authors present the structure of the training program based on the team management model for significant achievements (R. Hackman). We conducted a training program for 10 IEP teams, aimed at increasing the level of team interaction and inclusive competence of specialists. Formative influence was done directly during the professional activity of teachers and was accompanied by prolonged expert coaching. In their study, the authors applied a special design scheme for teamwork. This scheme was concretized in the fact that the participants of the IEP teams used the experience gained in the training sessions in the practice of their professional activity, critically comprehended and analyzed their new experience, sought to comprehend the factors of both success and failure. Together with the coordinator and experts, all participants of the IEP teams developed rules for the team, established feedback, sought to influence the focus on mastering the modern approaches of the inclusive process at the level of the entire educational institution. In turn, this maintained the necessary level of motivation and joint intentions to introduce a competently constructed educational environment. To assess the state of inclusive competence formation before and after the training program, we used teacher self-assessment method «Professional Development Tool for Improving the Quality of Practice in primary school». As a result, all teachers have achieved a significant increase in the effectiveness of interdisciplinary support for children with special needs, which have reflected in the positive changes that have occurred in teachers at the professional, interpersonal and personal levels.
