The labor market constantly demands qualified personnel and increases the requirements for graduates of educational establishments. In order to train a competitive young professional, universities seek modernization of various kinds and implement it in the educational process. Dual form of education is one of these efforts undertaken by educational institutions. The article presents the results of the semantic analysis of the dual education concept, an analysis of the stakeholders’ roles in the system of higher education with a large emphasis on the role of the employer, statistical data collection, and the main advantages and disadvantages of the dual approach to the educational process organization. The aim of the study is to analyze experience of dual education development in Germany, where it is regulated at the legislative level. The main advantages of dual education are identified: establishing practice-oriented training system, involving motivated employers in the training process and educational programs designing, alternating the theoretical and on-the-job training, and reducing the costs associated with personnel selection and adaptation. The study has developed a generalized process model for the implementation of the project ”Introduction of the dual form of education in an educational organization”. According to the proposed model, the first stage includes developing normative acts regulating dual education training, forming a team of mentors, and selecting students. At the second stage, the authors propose to distribute the contact work as follows: 60% for theoretical training and 40% for production-based. The final stage is devoted to the evaluation of the of the dual education system implementation effectiveness. The model was tested for the Novouralsk Institute of Technology — branch of the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI. The study presents a stage-by-stage description of the model and examines examples of the education dual form positive effects at the university, as well as considers emerging “noises”. Keywords: dual education, professional training, educational system

The current stage of development of higher education in Ukraine is characterized by a special intensity and scale of transformations, which envisage the formation of a holistic educational space based on the unification of national educational services markets, conditioned by globalization and integration processes. The training of scientific-pedagogical and pedagogical workers of higher educational institutions is considered in this context as an important prerequisite that ensures the modernization of education. In these conditions, the renewal of the content of the Master of Education training is of particular importance, it will equip a future teacher with the skills to integrate special psychological-pedagogical, methodological and didactic knowledge in the conditions of professional activity. A guideline on this issue is that European standards and recommendations for graduate students are formulated in the Dublin Descriptors and the European Qualification Framework. These European benchmarks, as well as the expansion of academic freedoms, changing educational paradigms require a fundamentally new content, methods and forms of the Master of Education training, the purpose of which is to shape the personality of a student as a teacher and professional of an institution of higher education who is able to independently and creatively think and act. The staff of the department of pedagogics of Pereiaslav- Khmelnytskyi Hryhorii Skovoroda State Pedagogical University developed the concept of educational activities in the specialty 011 Educational, pedagogical sciences, fields of knowledge 01 Education / Pedagogy. The concept provides for the formation of masters of education integrated competence, general and professional competencies. The development of these competencies will be facilitated by the introduction of a dual form of higher education. The dual form of getting higher education is a way of getting an education; it provides for a combination of training of applicants of higher education in institutions of higher education with training in workplaces in institutions, organizations and enterprises for obtaining certain qualifications, usually on the basis of a contract, with the performance of official duties. The high level of the Master of Education professional training in the conditions of the dual form of education is possible due to the mastering of the basics of the professional teaching activity of the teacher of the institution of higher education in real conditions; application of modern educational technologies of practical activity; the methodological readiness of a master of education to implement the educational process in institutions of higher education.

The correlation between traditional and MOODLE learning management system usage in the educational process of the maritime higher education institutions has been studied in the article. The need to find new digital tools was due to the current state of the educational system, which should become open to new trends, and exacerbated by the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Comparative analysis was chosen as the main research tool, which made it possible to conduct a comparative analysis of online and offline modes of implementation of the educational process in higher maritime educational institutions, as well as to determine the main advantages and disadvantages of the LMS MOODLE electronic platform. The collection of data was carried out using a Google questionnaire. The respondents had to answer 9 questions. The survey was conducted among students of the Maritime Academy of two age categories – from 18 to 30 years old and from 31 to 45 years old. Analysis of the questionnaire data allows us to conclude that students of the first age category have more developed digital competencies (87%) and easily switched to distance learning using the LMS MOODLE platform; however, in the second age category, more than 60% had no difficulties with online learning. In general, for applicants for higher education, working on the LMS MOODLE electronic platform has its advantages and may be one of the methodological tools for the implementation of the educational process. For applicants for higher maritime education, it is convenient both in terms of timing and availability for education. The weak side of the platform is the lack of opportunity for teachers to independently organize (without the technical support of the platform administrator) video lessons on LMS MOODLE in real time, which is one of the priority tasks for improving the educational process online. The next step in the development of online learning opportunities is to create opportunities for teachers to independently create online rooms for lectures and practical exercises in real time, as well as expand the possibilities for connecting cloud simulators to practice the practical skills and abilities of students of higher maritime educational institutions.

The article provides a comparative analysis of traditional and innovative learning systems; highlights the features, content, advantages and application limits of innovative educational technologies in the optics of modern concepts of pedagogical theory and practice. The content characteristics of the concept of «innovative learning» and the regularities of its course have been defined. The authors of the article define the concept of «innovative learning» in universities as a «futures», advanced training system that adequately correlates with a higher degree of development of a society that is constantly evolving and has the goal of advanced development of the personality and training a specialist who would be able to function effectively in such a society. Innovative learning in higher education provides full or partial digitalization of the educational process. The advantages and disadvantages of traditional and innovative learning have been highlighted. The requirements for the implementation of innovation in the educational process of higher education institutions have been formulated. It has been proved that modern higher education should take into account the processes that carry innovative changes, including: the introduction of analytical and information and communication learning tools, computer technologies, the involvement of teachers and students in research activities. It has been found that the quality of the implementation of the innovation process is conditioned by its goals, methods and means, knowledge and abilities, lecturers' and students' interest in achieving good results. In order for innovative learning to be truly innovative, a modern teacher of a higher education institution should have effective modern means of transferring knowledge and skills to students; organizational skills to plan and implement pedagogical impact; the ability to establish proper relationships with students, to organize and direct their activities; the ability to persuade; possess profound knowledge not only in his subject area, but also have a broad erudition. Acquiring a high level of professional qualification is a long and difficult process.

The meaning of the concept "methodical training of future teachers" is revealed. The need to im- prove the methodological training of future computer sci- ence teachers while studying in higher education institu- tions is substantiated. The analysis of the methodical component of professional training of applicants for higher education at the bachelor's and master's levels according to the educational-professional program Secondary Edu- cation (Informatics) is carried out. Methodical training of applicants for higher pedagogical education is aimed at mastering the basics of methodical activities of the subject teacher and is based on special (subject), psychological, pedagogical and methodological knowledge and skills, as well as professional motives that permeate each of the previous components. The peculiarities of the organization of methodical training in the process of studying the methods of teaching computer science are revealed, ex- amples of educational and methodical tasks are given, the solution of which is aimed at mastering methodical knowledge and formation of methodical skills. Emphasis is placed on the methodological training of future teachers on the basis of the competence paradigm. Methodological training should be cross-cutting and reflected at all stages of obtaining the qualification of "computer science teacher" in a higher education institution, primarily by means of disciplines from the cycle of professional training of com- pulsory and elective components of the educational- professional program. It is necessary to take into account the purpose and objectives of the school course "Informat- ics", tools, methods and principles of teaching, content of educational material, projected learning outcomes, meth- ods of teaching computer science in general and its indi- vidual sections, the dynamic development of computer science as a basic science and as a discipline in the sec- ondary education institutions. Methodical training of future teachers of computer science is considered as: learning process; component of the training system; learn- ing outcome. It is found that the result of methodical train- ing is acquired at a certain level of methodological compe- tence, which reflects the formed skills to reasonably and methodically construct the educational process from the school course of computer science for a specific didactic situation taking into account psychological mechanisms of learning and developing computer skills.

The professional training of specialists in the field of the digital economy is a promising direction in the development of economic education. The transition to digital technologies in management, banking, manufacturing, commerce, communications determines the emergence of new requirements for the professional and general competencies of university graduates. It is necessary to create an innovative vocational training system based on the use of electronic teaching aids and digital technologies. The implementation of this task should begin with the development of scientifically determined approaches to the creation of teaching aids that take into account all kinds of efficiency factors. This determines the importance of the task of scientific and methodological substantiation of the technology for creating electronic educational resources for the training of specialists in a new format. The paper proposes an analytical approach to determining the content and structure of the basic component of the methodological system - an electronic textbook. The expediency of its use in order to develop necessary competencies of the individual and group levels is substantiated. It is proposed to use a matrix form of information representation and elements of matrix and vector analysis to structure the material. A mathematical model has been developed that describes structural relationships between the concepts of the thesaurus. The structural elements in this model are the glossary concepts of an academic discipline. The possibilities of using the model for unification and automation of information processing during the selection of textbook content in various educational fields are discussed. Examples of using the proposed model in various subject areas are given. The authors describe how to represent a model based on graph theory and methods for solving the problem of the presence of cycles in this semantic structure. The main conclusions and results of the study can be used for the practical development of electronic learning tools, automating the process of structuring their content and methods of use in the educational process.
