The article reveals the use of active teaching methods in the preparation of higher education students in the speciality «Hotel & Restaurant Business». The emphasis is placed on the current competencies for professions in the hotel and restaurant business, and it is noted that in the near future the technical skills will prevail, which will be complemented by strong personal, social and cooperation skills. It has been noted that these skills cannot be cultivated in a passive educational environment, and therefore, the preference should be given to active teaching methods that can improve the training of specialists in hotel and restaurant business, improve their attitude to learning and provide them with interesting learning and cognitive opportunities. The main approaches to the definition of the concept «active teaching methods» have been revealed, and it has been determined that active teaching methods are the methods that «activate» students by involving their cognitive abilities and processes, making them the active parts of the learning process, which in its turn promotes the development of critical thinking, the increase of motivation to learning, cognitive interest, the activation of creative potential, independence in obtaining knowledge, and the formation of «soft» competencies. The list of active teaching methods has been supplemented by the methods that are widely advertised and professionally substantiated in higher educational institutions today («incident method», «scribing», «reduced method», «delayed assessment method», «mind mapping», «Plus – Minus – Interesting» and others). It has been proposed to introduce such teaching methods in the training of specialists in hotel and restaurant business as: contest and business simulations. The process of their application has been described as well. The research has established that these methods have not become active yet, but they have significant results in improving the quality of training of higher education students in the speciality «Hotel & Restaurant Business».

Students’ experiences have been covered by a large number of studies in different areas. Even so, the concept of student experience (SX) is diffuse, as it does not have a widely accepted meaning and is often shaped to the specific purposes of each study. Understanding this concept allows educational institutions to better address the needs of students. For this reason, we conducted a systematic literature review addressing the concept of SX in higher education, specifically aiming at undergraduate students. In this work, we approach the concept of SX from the perspective of customer experience (CX), based on the premise that students are users of higher education institutions’ products, systems and/or services. We reviewed articles published between 2011 and 2021, indexed in five databases (Scopus, Web of Sciences, ACM digital, IEEE Xplore and Science Direct), trying to address research questions concerning: (1) the SX definition; (2) dimensions, attributes and factors that influence SX; and (3) methods used to evaluate the SX. We selected 65 articles and analyzed various SX definitions, as well as scales and surveys to evaluate SX, mainly relating to satisfaction and quality in higher education. We propose a holistic definition of SX and recommend ways to achieve its better analysis.

This article presents a new look at the problem of updating the use of active teaching methods in the educational process of higher education; the socio-psychological foundations of the actualization of this problem in the system of higher education are highlighted; the prospects and possibilities of using active teaching methods in the educational practice of a modern university, etc. are shown. It is shown that at the present stage of the development of society, in the process of developing new «amendments» to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, on the way to a new look at the nature of man, at his rapidly changing world, at the significance of the level of development of his literacy and professionalism, the awareness of the requirements for the education system in whole - inexorably increase. Education in modern Russia is becoming strong, responsible, creative, socially active, patriotic-minded, legally-economic, politically-socially literate, with a high position, ready and able to live and work in a democratic society-oriented state, in a secular society, with highly moral and spirituallyoriented ideals. To cope with this practice is possible only if there is a generally accessible strategy of a humanistic strategy in education, reliable and active approaches, as well as an individually-oriented training paradigm in solving professional problems using practical teaching methods.

The article is devoted to theoretical analysis of the value of graphic competence. The basic scientific positions concerning the formation of graphic competence as an important component of the professional formation of specialists in the system of higher education of Ukraine are considered. The analysis of modern approaches, highlighted in domestic sources, concerning the definition of the essence of the concept of "graphic competence" as a component of qualitative training of a specialist has been carried out. The author emphasizes the demand for the formation of graphic culture in the future bachelors of computer sciences, on the basis of which the author's view on the definition of graphic competence as a component of qualitative professional training of competitive future bachelors on computer sciences in the conditions of a pedagogical institution of higher education taking into account modern social processes. The urgency of forming graphic competence is also substantiated by its role in education, development and upbringing, namely, in the development of thinking, cognitive abilities and spatial imagination of future bachelors in computer sciences, the development of practical skills. Due to the fact that the target preparation of the Bachelor of Computer Science is aimed at training highly skilled professionals, then each graduate of this profile must have a wide range of basic knowledge, skills and abilities in computer graphics and design for effective presentation of the developed Software to the end user. In order to develop the graphic competence of future bachelors in computer sciences, their training should be based on the development of basic knowledge of students on systems of computer design and graphics, computer animation and visualization, and work with graphical packages of 3D design. This will ensure conditions for the graduate to adapt to their professional activities and the subsequent successful application of acquired skills. The results of the analysis of the scientific experience of the mentioned authors, we have determined that graphic competence is versatile, and includes not only the features inherent in artistic or creative activity, but also solid knowledge and skills of the technical component, which are rapidly expanding and branching in view of rapid pace of development of computer technology and modernization of graphic tools.

Resumo O contexto do ensino superior tem testemunhado grandes alterações nas últimas décadas. A par da expansão numérica e da diversificação qualitativa dos estudantes e diplomados do ensino superior, a globalização económica, tecnológica e cultural, num mundo de trabalho cada vez mais dinâmico, tem colocado novos desafios ao ensino superior. É nesse contexto complexo, pouco previsível e em permanente mutação que, mais do que nunca, as instituições educativas poderão beneficiar do seu bem intangível mais precioso: os seus alumni, isto é, o conjunto dos seus antigos alunos. A abordagem ao tema do desenvolvimento de uma parceria forte com os alumni tem sido escassa na literatura sobre o ensino superior. Este artigo visa contribuir para colmatar essa lacuna ao abordar os modos através dos quais as instituições de ensino superior poderão desenvolver relações sinérgicas com a comunidade dos seus antigos alunos, com claros benefícios para ambas as partes.

Higher education and alumni: an infinite potential of synergies AbstractThe context of higher education has witnessed major changes in recent decades. In parallel with the numerical expansion and qualitative diversification of students and graduates of higher education, economic, technological and cultural globalization in an increasingly dynamic world of work has brought new challenges to higher education. It is in this complex, unpredictable and constant changing context that, more than ever, educational institutions should benefit from their most precious intangible asset: their alumni, that is, their former students. The approach to the theme of developing a strong partnership with alumni has been scarce in the literature on higher education. This article aims to contribute to bridging this gap by addressing the ways in which higher education institutions can develop synergic relationships with the community of their former students with clear benefits for both parties.

The article examines the problem of the presence of clip thinking in a social group of young people-students. The novelty of the research lies in the question of the need for an interdisciplinary study of clip thinking as a biological, social and humanitarian phenomenon, and the priority in determining the essence of this phenomenon should be given to the cognitive sciences. The analysis of the results of methodological innovations of modern researchers reveals the charm of clip thinking as a new cognitive style and the presence of imperative recommendations on the transformation of the format of educational technologies in the direction of its adaptation to this mass phenomenon. The author of the article questions the thesis about the need to switch to teaching methods in higher education that take into account the peculiarities of clip thinking. The methodological basis for the study was: the concept of the theory of generations by N. Howe and W. Strauss, the concept of conceptual thinking by L.S. Vygotsky, the concept of cognitive styles by M.A. Kholodnaya, the concept of clip thinking by K.G. Frumkin. The results of the study (on the example of students of the FEFU Law School) show that it is wrong to apply the clip thinking model as the leading basic generational characteristic to Russian students a priori. Students are a differentiated community in which there is a variety of cognitive styles in individuals, including a wide distribution of the most productive of them – the conceptual-logical. In this regard, the author comes to the conclusion that educational technologies in higher education should combine methods that accumulate ways of reflecting reality in visual-figurative and verbal-logical expression, create an educational space in which to demonstrate ways of translating clip thinking into conceptual thinking and teach such refocusing, while it is necessary to teach students to use both cognitive styles and effectively switch between them, depending on the type of cognitive tasks associated with working with information.
