The military-pedagogical process is a complex socio-psychological phenomenon. Its essence lies in purposeful, motivated, substantive organizational and educational activities of all its subjects. This activity is aimed at preparing the military specialists who are able to successfully perform their functional duties both in peacetime and in modern war conditions. The strength of the country's defense capability and combat readiness in modern conditions is ensured by a high level of intellectual potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This potential is being formed as a set of potentials of highly qualified personnel of military specialists. Today the task of reforming military education is not limited only to structural and functional transformations of the educational base and restructuring of the educational process. It is necessary to create an environment (a system of higher military education) for constant spiritual and professional improvement of the individual and motivation to achieve a high level of military professionalism. Access of educational institutions to modern information technologies contributed to the emergence of interactive forms of learning and transformation of the subject of learning from a passive participant and its active involvement in the learning process. Given the development of digital technologies and the difficult state in which Ukraine found itself due to military action and the negative epidemiological situation, it is appropriate to create a system of higher military education using the subject-activity approach and the introduction of forms of distance learning. It is proposed to direct the military-pedagogical training of specialists along six lines. The assessment of the level of conformity of a serviceman's actual professional qualities with the requirements to the occupied military position is important in the professional-psychological selection in the Armed Forces. That is why it is expedient to develop a model of recreation of intellectual potential of servicemen and a methodology for evaluating the general level of intellectual resources of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In the basis of construction of such model it is offered to put directions of military-pedagogical training of military specialists together with professionally important criteria of evaluation of recreating of moral-psychological qualities of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

A continuing debate in feminist scholarship on gender, security, and the military has been whether militaries can facilitate feminist progress and be forces for good. Feminists committed to working outside of militaries note that gender perspectives have often been used to advance the military’s goals of winning wars rather than commitments to feminist social transformation of military institutions and societies. However, influences from international normative frameworks on Women, Peace and Security; Canada’s feminist foreign policy; and an emphasis on diversity and inclusion within Canada’s Defence Policy have presented the Canadian Armed Forces with a solid platform from which it has begun to make change. The central tenets of this broad feminist platform have begun to permeate Canadian Professional Military Education (PME) through the collective efforts of educators, staff, and military students at Canada’s defence colleges. Drawing on a review of policy and programmes as well as a qualitative analysis of interviews with educators, staff, and military students, the article demonstrates that feminist transformational change by military members is possible by exploring its nascent reality. The article highlights the challenges and benefits of incorporating feminist perspectives in Canadian PME and demonstrates how and under what conditions military graduates with this education have begun to apply gender and cultural learning to make local feminist interventions both within and outside their institution. Ultimately, this research shows that collective efforts toward localized and incremental changes by military members are paving the way for meaningful feminist progress within the military.

Reforming the Armed Forces of Ukraine in accordance with international standards and domestic political factors indicates the urgency of finding and implementing innovative ways to develop military education. The authors see the work as a tool to solve this problem in the introduction of interactive methods in the training of future military specialists. This does not mean abandoning the use of known traditional methods, it is a combination of their diversity in the educational process. Involvement of cadets in interactive activities leads to the ability to solve complex problems based on the analysis of initial data, identify contradictions, express alternative opinions, make informed decisions, participate in discussions; model various situations, learn to build constructive relationships in the team, determine their place in it, avoid or resolve conflicts, seek compromises, seek dialogue, develop skills of project activities, independent work, creative work. The paper presents the basic principles of interactive learning, classification of interactive methods. The application of some of them, namely "question-answer", "microphone", "classes with pre-planned mistakes", "brainstorming", "debate", "business game", "teaching-learning" with the indicated advantages and disadvantages is demonstrated for specific topics of classes in "Higher Mathematics". The introduction of these methods in the educational process will ensure the formation of its participants such skills as analysis, comparison, highlighting, as well as critical thinking and the ability to make responsible decisions, competitiveness, willingness to take risks. In addition, it will promote the development of each person's system of universal values and generally accepted norms of behavior, awareness of personal responsibility, the ability to unite with other participants to solve a common problem, foster tolerance, mutual understanding and respect, compassion, kindness and care, solidarity and equality, the formation of the ability to make free and independent choices based on their own judgments and analysis of reality. And most importantly, it will improve the quality of military education, ensure the growth of military-professional, intellectual, cultural, spiritual and moral potential of future military professionals, increase the prestige of the military profession, strengthen the defense capabilities of Ukraine and its Armed Forces.

Analysis of the foreign experience of the organisation and reformation of the armed forces in other countries, with the respective systems of military education being an integral part, reveals the specific national aspect of such activities in each country. In the meantime, there are some general methodological approaches used in military pedagogic practice across different countries of the world to be practicably considered and applied. The article examines the experience of officers’ training for the armed forces of the Canada. The article provides information on the existing network of military educational institutions for the officer training of tactical, operational and strategic levels of military command. The terms of officers’ training on tactical, operational and strategic levels have been defined. The analysis of the content of officer training for different armed services of the armed forces and different levels of military administration has been conducted. We used the system of the general scientific methods of theoretical and empirical research, in particular, the theoretical-methodological analysis of the problem and the relevant scholarly resources, systematization and generalization of the scientific information pertaining to the essence and content of the set objectives, monitoring of the existing system of military specialists training in the Armed Forces of the Canada, scientific generalisation, the general scientific methods of logical and comparative analysis, systems approach, peer review, analysis and interpretation of the obtained theoretical and empirical data. An analysis of the concept, structure, goals, content and technologies of officers’ training in the armed forces of the Canada shows that the military education system reflects the current stage of development of the armed forces, as well as the national cultural specificity of the country. Education and training of officers is carried out on the basis of national cultural and military traditions, taking into account the mentality of the Canada people. The main direction of officers’ training is their fundamental military and professional training in both the military and civilian fields. The content of the officers’ training is based on two military education levels. Each level of military education ends with a certain level of qualification. It is possible to distinguish the general tendencies of development of the Canadian military school: improvement of the quality of applicants’ selection, individualization of training of cadets and trainees, stabilization of their number at the present level; further informatization of the educational process, introduction of multimedia learning tools.

The article substantiates the principles and foundations of the system-logical approach to the organization of the educational process using distance learning in a military educational institution. The need for defense reform is due to the fact that against the background of many dynamic changes in modern society, which are characterized by uncertainty and instability along with hybrid warfare, digitalization of society, many problems arise in certain sectors of life and security, and, first of all, in such an important sector. as education in general and military education in particular. That is why the task is to update the military education system in order to prevent the consequences of possible negative events and develop appropriate countermeasures. One of the measures to preserve the stable functioning of the military education system is the introduction and further development of distance learning. This requires specific approaches to the organization of the educational process. The role, place and principles of the system-logical approach to the organization of the educational process by distance learning in a military educational institution have been substantiated. It is shown that the essence of a systematic approach to the problem of the formation of a distance learning system lies in the understanding of the educational process and the management system of educational and educational activities as components of an integral complex system of military education. At the same time, as subsystems, linked by a common goal and objectives of training and education, taking into account their role and place among other systems. A logical approach to the analysis of complex systems should form the basis of a systemlogical approach to the formation of the educational process in military educational institutions. The tasks of the logical approach are to recreate the essence or the main content of the research subject and present it in the form of mental abstractions. In this case, the logical method is based on the laws and requirements (categories) of formal and dialectical logic. It has been substantiated that a rational, truly scientific system of organizing the educational process for distance learning in a military educational institution should be based on a systematic and logical approach, ensure a high level of professional competencies of military specialists of the corresponding educational level and resist possible external and internal threats.

We considered current issues of formation and development of information competence of future officers in information and educational environment of military university. We updated issues of development and improvement of the process of informatization of military education, its integration into a single educational space on the territory of the Russian Federation. We disclosed the essence and content of concepts of information competence of a graduate and information and educational environment of a military university, expanding the conceptual and categorical apparatus of military pedagogy. We highlighted the principles reflecting the requirements for the organization and construction of the educational process of a military university, taking into account its specifics and peculiarities. The formulated contradiction is a factor in the development of the information competence of the cadet and the information and educational environment of the military university as a whole. We identified pedagogical conditions that ensure effective formation of the student's information competence, representing interrelated theoretical foundations and practical-oriented provisions. The systematic representation of the pedagogical support of the information competence of the future officer contributes to the rational choice and effective use of training technologies, the development of a comprehensive methodological support for the taught educational disciplines in the educational process of a military university.
