This article is devoted to the study of the higher educational institutions teachers’ professional adaptation problem in the context of digitalization. The purpose of this research is to analyze the main changes in the higher education staff’s professional activities due to the digitalization of education, as well as the problems of a university’ staff adaptation to these changes. The relevance of the study is justified by the fact that the effectiveness of the implementation of information and digital technologies in the educational process largely depends on the success of the university staff’s professional adaptation. The main methods of empirical research were students’ questioning and semi-formalized interviews with the university staff. The study was carried out on the basis of Khakass State University in 2019 with the financial support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research as part of scientific project No. 18-011-00681 A. 500 students and 39 teachers were interviewed (N = 539). The study has found that teaching in digitalization is experiencing a serious sociocultural transformation in addition to technological changes. Information and digital technologies form new principles for organizing the educational process, new forms of teacher communication with students and colleagues, new sociocultural environment of the university and, ultimately, a new role for the teacher in modern education. The study revealed that the digitalization of education entailed significant changes in all types of a university staff’s professional activities — pedagogical, scientific and scientific-methodological. The main difficulties in the university staff’s professional adaptation are associated with insufficient material and technical equipment of universities, constantly increasing actual load, low level of information culture and computer literacy. As a result of the study, it was found that university staff misunderstands the very phenomenon of education digitalization, referring to informatization and computerization, that, of course, prevents the successful implementation and effective use of digital technologies in education.

The results of higher education are determined by normative documents and are based on the theory of competence approach. They refl ect the readiness of the future teacher to professional activities in the terms of inclusive education. Analytical verifi cation of various scientifi c sources makes it possible to assert that the essence of the various components of the methodological support of the learning process is the subject of scientifi c disputes. But it is worth noting that currently the researchers have not brought a single interpretation of such a concept as “methodological support”, which forces for their own understanding of this designation to refer to it. Methodological support is mainly singled out not just as a pedagogical component, but also as an integral part of the whole educational process. It is characterized by the volume and content of the working programs of disciplines, provides organizational and pedagogical conditions necessary for the formation of the educational environment of the University readiness of future teachers for inclusion. Properly selected and implemented in full methodological support of any process makes it guaranteed to be effective.

The evolution of social relations at the present stage requires teachers to work in the field of higher education to develop skills in using information resources and digital technologies. The intensity of communication in the information sphere determines the effectiveness of not only the learning process at the university, but also to a large extent, the secondary socialization of young people. The article deals with the problem of using information resources and digital technologies by teachers of Kazakh universities (on the example of the Karaganda region). The article is based on the data of a sociological survey (questionnaire survey) conducted at the universities of the Karaganda region of Kazakhstan. The purpose of the study was to analyze the effectiveness of the use of information technologies and resources in the process of studying at universities and to develop practical recommendations to improve the effectiveness of training. According to the results of the study, it has been found out that the development of the information and communication sphere in universities is influenced by "objective" and "subjective" factors. The first ones are connected with shortcomings in the technical support of the educational process, the second ones– with some teachers’ lack of awareness of the modern Internet resources in their professional field. The identified problems can be overcome with the help of measures aimed at increasing teachers' awareness of available information resources, increasing the speed of the Internet connection and general technical equipment of universities

The article (a case) highlights the experience of the regional university in staff optimization caused by the requirements of federal legislation to improve the quality of higher education and to outline the personnel strategy prospects for the future.The methodological basis of the study is the systematic approach, which made it possible to comprehensively assess the qualitative changes in the university staff; the use of the method of situational analysis largely contributed to an increase in the objectivity of the results obtained. Besides, the researchers used the following methods: the study of legislative documents that determine the activities of a higher educational institution; the analysis of theoretical papers on the management of educational institutions and on human resource management; the method of mathematical modelling and the analysis of statistical data, the method of social forecasting.The study comes to be theoretically significant, as it clarifies the concept of «staff optimization» and introduces the concept of «university staff optimization» as a new scientific term. The research also distinguishes the basic principles of university staff optimization and substantiates the reasons that caused this process, mainly related to the demographic, social and economic situation in our country and the tasks of reforming the higher education system. The article also examines the concept of «university personnel strategy» and highlights its components, focused on preserving academic traditions, on creating conditions for increasing the staff competency and on encouraging the faculty to intensify their activity. On the example of the regional university, there is carried out an analysis of quantitative and qualitative changes in the educational process staffing (in terms of academic degrees and titles, faculty compliance with the profile of the disciplines taught, etc.); the effectiveness of a number of new mechanisms introduced into the universities’ practice in order to update the requirements for the selection of candidates for teaching positions is studied. Thus appearing to be scientifically significant, the paper presents a regional university staff optimization model, which includes several logically related stages, allowing this process to be carried out most effectively: scientific, normative, practical and social. The recommendations to improve the personnel strategy and systematically enhance the quality of personnel in the educational process are formulated.The work is original, as it shows the systemic nature of work with the faculty when optimizing the staff in accordance with the university’s personnel strategy.

The scientific and methodological basis of the modern concept of higher education is the synergetic unity of classical and modern psychological and pedagogical approaches. Modern higher education is focused on introducing a young person to fundamental knowledge, on developing practical skills in future professional activities and preparing them for lifelong learning. However, modern education is not focused on the student’s life and professional self-determination. The integrated use of personality-oriented technologies in the educational process helps to stimulate the development of personal potential, mental activity, “launches” the development of cognitive processes, and contributes to the formation of competencies necessary for a future specialist. Personaloriented education at the University will help to the painless entry of a young specialist into professional activities and professional community.
