The relevance of the work is confirmed by the need to ensure that vocational training meets the requirements of formal and non-formal, difficult to coordinate requirements of the education system and the labor market. The article proposes one way to solve this problem in the framework of control theory and knowledge engineering. A methodology for developing an ontological model is proposed and described for the formation of the content and assessment of ICT competencies of university students, based on two basic ideas: first, the definition of the boundaries of the subject area of competencies, for which the content and means of assessment are formed on the basis of harmonized regulatory framework (boundaries are defined by invariant and variant documents.); secondly, a mechanism for taking into account personal characteristics and needs in order to build an individual trajectory of professional education and self-training should be conceptualized and preliminarily designed. An ontological model developed based on this technique is presented for forming the content and evaluating the competencies of IT specialists using the example of the subject field “IT solutions for business on the 1C: Enterprise platform”. The development of the research topic is possible in the direction of expanding the functionality of the ontological model in terms of preparing for certification exams from venders, adding other areas of preparation and adding other subject areas. The knowledge base created based on the ontological model can become part of intelligent information systems of decision support for education systems and corporate training, as well as HR management. This article will be of interest to specialists involved in the development of new tools and methods for managing the educational process and self-learning processes in distance education systems.

The topicality of the article is substantiated by the significant demographic problems, which are the consequence of the transformation in traditional stereotypes of women’s reproductive behavior, the change in models of family relations, and the decline of the maternity value in the society. This determines the problem of forming readiness for motherhood in young women. The author points out that the problem of forming readiness for motherhood is not sufficiently developed from the pedagogical point of view, which contradicts to the historically established national traditions of educative teaching of motherhood in the family and in the education system. Special emphasis is placed on the reduction of readiness to become a mother among women who receive professional education and realize themselves in the profession. The potential of the educational process of the university in solving the problem of forming the readiness of female students for motherhood is indicated. The author’s understanding of the essence and structure of readiness for motherhood as a complex psychological and pedagogical phenomenon is proposed. A set of criteria and indicators of female students’ readiness for motherhood has been developed, taking into account its formation in the conditions of the university educational process. The selection of diagnostic methods is made, which allow identifying the formation of all aspects of the readiness of university students for motherhood. The studied phenomenon is characterized by the author at the high, sufficient, medium and low levels of its formation. The developed criteria and diagnostic base can be considered as the foundation for conducting the ascertaining stage of the pedagogical experiment, analysis of the reasons that negatively affect the unfinished level of formation of readiness for motherhood in female students, and determining the pedagogical conditions for the effective formation of the studied phenomenon in the educational process of the university. Keywords: motherhood, readiness for motherhood, educational training, educational process of the university, criteria and diagnostic basis for the study of the university students’ readiness for motherhood

The purpose of the article is to justify the necessity of making a comprehensive educational e-dictionary from a number of disciplines within a certain domain, to show its place in the educational space, to find out compilation principles and usage specifics in the educational process. It is noted that modernization of the modern Ukrainian higher education system requires the search for new approaches to the organization of educational activities that would contribute to the creation of a comprehensive perception of the subject field. It is shown that the formation of the integral outlook of the professional to-be at the educational process as well as developing his system approach to analysis of any phenomena of reality can facilitate the selection and structuring of material on the principles of differentiation and integration. Part of this problem is solved by a complex educational e-dictionary, which is made up of the key concepts of disciplines of a certain speciality (in a particular case, a journalism). The logic and topicality should become conceptual foundations of the electronic dictionary, which will be represented in the elements of its macrostructure (prefaces, rules of using the dictionary, term register, conceptual-terminological groups of terms, illustrations). On the basis of thorough theoretical and applied lexicographic works, a system of lexicographic macrocomponents is developed that characterize the general structure of the dictionary and the principles of presentation of materials in it, as well as a system of microparameters that determine the properties of the term-dominants of the vocabulary article. The value of our research is that it describes in detail the micro- and macro tructure of the complex educational electronic dictionary, solves the key problems associated with the selection of terminology units of the register, and also outlines the advantages of the electronic dictionary in comparison with its paper analogue. The results of the study will promote convergence of sciences and the introduction of integration methods into education for the formation of a comprehensive perception of the world among students and, in particular, for individual understanding through the personal «self» how crucial it is to overcome the contradictions between people and environment.

The article substantiates the need for informatization of education in general, and higher professional education in particular, requiring the modernization of forms, methods and content of information training of students in the light of the implementation of the program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation”. The article presents the ways of improving the informational training of university students. The research methods are as follows: analysis of literature, documents, and electronic resources; observation, questioning of participants in the educational process, methods of mathematical statistics. The analysis shows that the project-based method of training, monitoring and control of the content of electronic resources, the integrated use of distant learning systems, online software for collaborative work, the implementation of artificial intelligence technology in education will allow to form the media literacy of future specialists that meets the modern requirements of the economy and society. The study was conducted on the basis of S.A. Yesenin Ryazan State University in various areas and profiles of education. One of the types of project activities based on modern digital technologies is a hackathon. The goal of such a project is to develop and create a media product in a given professional field. This can be a website, an application, or an interactive software. A team of students is working on a socially significant task. Preparing students for the project-based work by using modern digital technologies has shown its effectiveness for being included in the “Startup as a Degree” Program. The final qualification work prepared in this format may represent a project that is in demand in the field of professional activity. The experimental work of the study was carried out by dividing students into a control group and an experimental group. The range, difference, and significance of changes in the level of informational training in the control and experimental groups were evaluated by the Fischer – Yates criterion. The analysis of individual and collective projects developed by the students, the qualitative analysis of the students’ answers from the both groups to the questions of questionnaires and tests showed that the students of the experimental group revealed a higher level of readiness for professional activity, self-study, self-education, which indicates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
