Identified are criteria for assessing the competence level of the academic staff of the local university, formulated by students of the Rostov State University of Economics. It is argued that university students are endowed with a certain experience of interaction with the teaching staff and the relative objectivity of the assessment of both the experience itself and those components of the educational process that must correspond to the professional competencies of each lectures. The relevance of the issue is justified by the author’s research conducted in the social network “VK”, where group conversations were created with the deep involvement of students of the participating groups. During the 2020–2021 academic year, students were asked to evaluate the professional competencies of the teacher (the author of the article) according to certain criteria, but without categorical reference to the specified ones, i.e. students could independently formulate assessment criteria and the level of competence within a separate discipline, knowledge of teaching techniques, information and computer technologies, software products, podcasts, tools of social networks and messengers, etc. The key focus was on information and computer technologies and their implementation in the educational process. The study involved 107 students of different groups, bachelor’s and master’s degrees. The results were summarized and discussed among university colleagues and 4th-year graduates of the Rostov State University of Economics, Rostov-on-Don.

The article discusses the actual problem of education as a factor in the social formation of the student’s personality, the development of his spiritual and moral culture. In the context of problems of upbringing, the phenomenon of “personal-educational results”, formulated in the standards of school education, is considered — the qualities of the student’s personality, which should be formed in the learning process and which should form the basis of the psychological culture of his personality. The article analyzes the psychological and pedagogical conditions of modern school education, necessary to achieve “personal educational results”, from the point of view of their compliance with the essence of the educational process itself — the unity and interdependence of the processes of teaching and upbringing of students. Attention is focused on the creation of a cultural and educational environment at school as the basis of the social situation of the cultural development of students, as well as on the phenomenon of “culture of interpersonal interaction of subjects of the educational process”, which plays a significant role in the implementation of such an environment.

Abstract The higher education in Russia is now divided into two stages: Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. Regretfully, the educational process of baccalaureate students has revealed unsatisfactory preparation of young specialists, who have to undergo further training and adaptation to a high-tech industry. The lack of professional competencies of graduating students is rather disappointing for employers. Therefore, it becomes vital to improve the educational process and implement significant changes to the methodological system of education. It is necessary to encompass information technologies. This study is devoted to the educational program for mechanical engineers, which has been developed according to the main employers requirements. The effectiveness of this training approach was proved during the research experiment. It proved the hypothesis that the improved model of student training: leads to a more active and effective studying process, incorporates an individual approach to each student, and contributes to a more efficient development of professional competencies.

We present a detailed analysis of the “social experience” concept from the point of view of philosophy, sociology, psychology and pedagogy. When considering social experience as an in-tegral concept, we carry out a separate analytical interpretation of the “experience” and “socialization” categories in the context of various scientific disciplines. The analysis of the designated concepts from the point of view of philosophy contains a historical digression that reveals the position of the phenomena studied in different philosophical schools. Sociology is considered as a source of the concept of “socialization” in its contemporary meaning. Psychology is considered as a discipline in which the study of human experience and interaction with it occupies a central place. Socialization is considered in the context of pedagogy as a science with its own unique specificity focusing on work with the educational process and its subjects: we analyze the basic pedagogical concepts of understanding socialization as a process of mastering social experience, and variative interpretations of this concept in scientific and pedagogical sources are considered. As a result of the analysis, we conclude that social experience should be understood as the experience of human participation in joint activities, which determines the level of knowledge and skills, as well as understanding of life in general. We also reveal the position of this phenomenon in a contemporary pedagogy.

It was defined in the article that in recent years, the computer technology has been used in all areas of the profession, including the music industry. In light of this, there is a relevant need to study the problem of using music and the computer technology in the training of future musicians. Thus, some issues of the implementation of these technologies in the educational process were studied by I. Haydenko, I. Zabolotskaya, A. Markov, M. Podrazhanskaya, Sanyu Juan, M. Owl, Chen Zhuin, and others. However, the analysis of the scientific literature shows that the scientists interpret a concept of the computer and music technology ambiguously. Therefore, the research of the problem of the use of music and computer technology in the training of future musicians requires the clarification of the author’s point of view in understanding the meaning of the concept mentioned above. The purpose and the task of the article: to analyze the essence of the music and computer technologies, to reveal their role and meaning in the professional music education, based on the analysis of scientific literature. During the scientific research have been used the following research methods: general scientific methods (analysis, comparison, generalization) in order to study the scientific literature on the outlined problem and to determine the author’s point of view regarding the interpretation of the key concepts of the study, the disclosure of the role and importance of the music-computer technology in the music professional education. Based on the work of modern scientific works of Ukrainian and Chinese scientists, it has been established that the music-computer technologies are modern information technologies used in the field of music and, in particular, in the system of music education. These technologies play an important role in professional music education today, as they make it possible to significantly improve its effectiveness and to update a communication model between all participants in the educational process. It has also been found that the value of these technologies in the music industry is increasing year by year.

The relevance of this article lies in the need to improve the process of developing competences future professionals need to develop self-employment skills under the conditions of the socio-economic crisis and the instability of the Ukrainian labour market. The article aims to prove the need for systematic implementation of self-education and self-management technologies in Ukrainian professional education schools to develop entrepreneurship competence in future professionals. Research methods include a survey and an analysis of documentary information. Ukraine strives to increase the importance of young people's readiness for lifelong learning. However, the article finds that most students do not have sufficient psychological knowledge and selfmanagement skills for successful self-development and self-employment. The development of entrepreneurship competence is, for the first time, justified through the systemic implementation of self-education and selfmanagement technologies in the educational process of professional education schools. The article presents a pedagogical technology for developing entrepreneurship competence in future professionals through selfmanagement. Besides, it offers the most effective forms of its introduction (psychology workshops, video lectures, electronic portfolios) and singles out the optimal conditions of their use. The level of the technology's readiness is IRL5 (the efficiency was proven at the level of experimental educational institutions). Success in its implementation depends on the regulatory recognition of the role of the social and humanities-related component in professional education; the incorporation of a self-management course in all programmes for training, retraining and advanced training of psychology and teaching staff; the encouragement of teaching staff to effectively use the described technologies in the educational process; systematic training of students to implement self-education and self-management as the technologies of success.

Першорядною задачею освіти є формування мислення як самоцілі, що створює для особистості мож-ливості задля здійснення керованого впливу на соціальні явища та процеси, використовуючи сучасні знання та новітні технології. Здатність людини успішно соціалізуватися не можлива без інтелектуаліза-ції, яка має досягатися в освітньому процесі.Автором статті була розроблена анкета та проведене опитування магістрантів І року денної фор-ми навчання Херсонського державного університету (опитано 187 осіб, 44% від загальної чисельності в 2019–2020 навчальному році). Більшість здобувачів продовжує навчання за напрямом підготовки бака-лавріату. Однак опитування засвідчило, що основні теми дисципліни «Основи наукових досліджень» були засвоєні не досить глибоко з причини малої кількості аудиторних занять. Для багатьох магістрантів незрозумілим виявилося співвідношення філософських підходів, загальнонаукових та конкретно-нау-кових методів, а також зміст новітніх методологічних принципів та підходів. Більшість здобувачів не змогла відповісти на питання щодо наукових результатів, які вони отримували завдяки використанню зазначених ними методів. Це свідчить про недостатній зв’язок методології як теорії та наукової прак-тики. Було також виявлено, що більшість магістрантів не пов’язує майбутню професійну діяльність із науковими дослідженнями. Ця обставина зобов’язує викладачів посилити відповідальність за форму-вання гідного відношення здобувачів вищої освіти до науки як соціального і професійного інституту та теоретичного мислення як основи будь-якої високопрофесійної діяльності.Слід знайти оптимальне колегіальне рішення (у кожному університеті ексклюзивне) стосовно під-вищення в навчальних програмах різних напрямів освіти «питомої ваги» методологічного складника, а також сучасних форм підвищення методологічної підготовки викладачів теоретичних дисциплін. The primary task of education is the formation of thinking as an end in itself which creates opportunities for individuals to exert significant influence on social phenomena and processes using modern knowledge and the latest technologies. The ability of a person to successfully socialize is unthinkable without intellectualization which must be achieved in the educational process.The author of the article developed a questionnaire and conducted a survey of the first-year full-time postgraduates (master’s degrees) at Kherson State University (187 people were interviewed, which is 44% of the total amount in the 2019–2020 academic year). Most degree-seeking students continue their studies in the bachelor’s degree program. However, the survey showed that the main topics of the course “Fundamentals of Scientific Knowledge”, which was studied for bachelor’s degree programmes, are not sufficiently captured due to the small amount of class hours. For many postgraduates (master’s degrees) the relationship between the philosophical approaches themselves, general scientific and special scientific methods, as well as the content of the latest methodological principles, turned out to be incomprehensible. It is a matter of concern that many degree-seeking students were not able to answer the question about the results they obtained in scientific work through the use of the methods they specified. This indicates a lack of connection between methodological theory and scientific practice in the educational process. It was also found that the majority of postgraduates (master’s degrees) do not associate their future professional activities with scientific research. This circumstance obliges teachers to strengthen their responsibility for forming a decent attitude of degree-seeking students to science as a social and professional institution, as well as to theoretical thought as the basis of any highly professional activity.It is necessary to find an optimal collegial solution (exclusive at each university) to increase the “specific weight” of the methodological component in the curriculum documents of different branches of education, as well as regarding modern forms of improving the level of methodological competences of teachers of various theoretical disciplines.

Abstract. The article considers the need to introduce the latest computer technologies into the educational process to contribute to the formation and provision of professional competencies of applicants of education studying the specialty “Accounting and Taxation.” Modern information technologies used in the educational space are considered an essential factor in the interaction between teacher and students. Distance education flexibility, i.e., the ability to study individually, choosing the time, place, and tempo of learning, are precisely the advantages, which are considered while organizing the educational process. The task of academic staff is to provide the students with maximum opportunities to remotely process the proposed material and perform all control exercises conveniently in compliance with the requirements for specific tasks. Distance education can be used as the main form of education for preparing students of the second level of education studying at the specialty “Accounting and Taxation”. To investigate the information support of professional competencies of applicants of education studying at “Accounting and Taxation”, we analyzed the practical experience of bachelors and masters studying the following accounting disciplines at Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University with the use of distance education methods: “Managerial Accounting”, “Forensic accounting expertise”, “Accounting in foreign countries”, “Accounting and Taxation of international transactions”, “Accounting in enterprise management”, “Applied econometrics”, “International standards of accounting and financial reporting”, “Financial reporting consolidation”.  The educational material allocation and access to it took place using standard software tools. The type of courses and features of the work organization depends on the format of a course chosen at its creation and adjustment stage. During the development of distance learning courses in the modern educational space, more attention is paid to the information environment service – “Moodle”.
