The article clarifies the main tendencies of the school economic education development in Ukraine from the end of the 20th to the beginning of the 21st century. The stages of the economic disciplines’ implementation in the educational process of secondary education establishments are revealed as: the first stage (it was between 1991 – 1993) was a period of the search of content, forms and methods of teaching economics; the second stage (between 1994-2000) was the period of formation and updating of the school economic education content; the third stage (2001-2004) was the period of mass introduction of economy in general educational establishments; the fourth stage (since 2005) was the period of the formation of continuous economic education. It was revealed that the socio-political and socio-economic changes taken place in the early 1990s with the proclamation of Ukraine’s independence actualized the issue of providing the high level of the younger generation economic competence. That is why, since the middle of the 90’s, the optional classes in economics are opened in schools, and later ‒ the economics and entrepreneurship classes. In the process of the research it has been found out that the beginning of the 21st century was marked by the adoption of a number of state acts proclaiming general trends in the development of education in Ukraine and identified the peculiarities of school educational management including economic (the inclusion of economic education in the invariant and variation part of the curriculum, introduction of the economic profile of the social and humanitarian direction, the expansion and differentiation of the content of economic education, the improvement of the quality of personnel and logistics of teaching disciplines and economic direction). It is emphasized that the quality of secondary education is ensured through the implementation of the invariant and variation parts of the curriculum. The corresponding disciplines are presented as those that form the students’ outlook, economic culture and entrepreneurship. It was indicated that a positive step towards the reforming of secondary education was the introduction of profile education in secondary schools, which included the economic profile of the social and humanitarian direction. It was stated that at the beginning of the XXI century, in the conditions of permanent changes in society, integration into the world educational space, a school economic education also sustains a constant modernization on the way of upgrading the content and finding the effective forms of the students’ economic competence development.

Бурдьё предлагается авторский вариант изучения структур восприятия и оценивания населением реализованных государственных реформ. В третьем разделе представлены результаты эмпирического анализа серии полуструктурированных интервью с основными субъектами социально-трудовой сферы и текстов обращений граждан в органы государственной власти. В заключение интерпретируется символическая борьба вокруг восприятия политики «активного долголетия» в России. Авторы приходят к выводу о том, что ожидается новый всплеск программ социальной помощи пожилым и рост пассивности в их трудовом поведении.

The article examines the ideas of educational shift relevant to the quality of education developed during the Lithuanian Education Reform as formulated by Meile Luksiene in her writings. The research is based on an analysis of scientific literature concerning the concepts of shift and quality, regulating educational documents as well as an empirical study, i.e. the data collected from a qualitative analysis of the scientist’s writings. The problem of the research: how are the ideas formulated by M. Luksiene relevant to the education development quality? The object of the research: shift as a prerequisite for a new education quality as expressed in the writings of M.  Luksiene. The goal of the research: to emphasize the significance of M. Luksiene’s ideas of shift oriented towards the quality of education. Having performed the research tasks, which include presenting theoretical research presumptions on the basis of analysis of scientific literature and educational documents, comparing the concepts of shift and presumed education development quality as formulated by M. Luksiene to those developed on the theoretical level, exhibiting M.  Luksienes’s shift ideas oriented towards the education quality on conceptual, personal, organizational and governmental levels by means of an empirical study, comparing the presumed education quality in M.  Luksiene’s writings to the content of present concerted education quality examining the vigor of M.  Luksiene’s ideas, the authors draw the following conclusions: The concept of shift modeled by M. Luksiene in her writings on educational issues is close to the theoretical one formulated by scientists, i.e. to that of a shift during a confrontation between two social powers, stages of a shift, the concept of a shift as of a long-lasting process, perspectives of a shift. The presumed education development quality implied by M. Luksiene in her writings is close to the theoretical quality concept formulated by scientists in terms of integral parts of holistic quality, i.e. the quality of primary conditions, educational process and, partly, of consequences, where consequences is understood as cultural maturity of a nation and society. The quality of results is mentioned indirectly, whereas the surplus value, an integral part of holistic quality, is not directly discussed. The presumed education development quality implied in M. Luksiene’s writings is closely related to the theoretical scientific quality concept expressed in terms of greater humanistic values, such as relation to an individual, as well as of civil, social values, and partly of the ethical values of public service. The economic values related to education quality are not directly approached. Basically all education quality subcategories defined in M. Luksiene’s writings have their equivalents in the present concerted criteria for school self-evaluation, which allows maintaining that the content of education development quality modeled by M. Luksiene and the one created at present are akin. It has been noted that the main value based educational principles, by means of which education quality can be expressed and which were emphasized by M. Luksiene, i.e. those related to humanity, democracy, nationality and renewal, have only been maintained in the regulating educational documents of independent Lithuania irregularly. The closeness of the presumed education development quality content modeled by M. Luksiene in her writings to modern concerted education quality criteria indicate, that the scientist’s ideas are relevant in the present stage of Education Reform.

Resumo: O presente estudo se constitui de uma reflexão sobre o percurso desenvolvido por professores e alunos de cinco turmas do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental de BH, no ano de 2017. A partir da discussão dos processos avaliativos e estratégias pedagógicas desenvolvidas pelos professores, buscou-se problematizar o trabalho escolar efetivamente realizado, tendo em vista a necessidade de identificar aspectos que incidem sobre a qualidade do processo educativo. Foi feita a análise dos parâmetros de aprovação e reprovação adotados pelos professores, bem como dos elementos que subsidiaram a decisão do Colegiado Escolar sobre o futuro escolar dos alunos selecionados, confrontando-os com as observações da equipe de coordenação pedagógica. Fundamentando-se nas contribuições de Bernard Charlot, Miguel Arroyo e Maria Helena Souza Patto sobre o fracasso escolar e nas discussões desenvolvidas por Cipriano Luckesi, Philippe Perrenoud e Edgar Morin acerca dos processos de avaliação escolar e da complexidade do processo educativo, espera-se despertar inquietações e explicitar os limites das diferenças ideológicas percebidas no trabalho educativo e contribuir para a construção de uma proposta de trabalho que explicite as diferenças e se comprometa profundamente com a reflexão crítica sobre a própria prática. Os resultados demonstram que a prática profissional ainda está calcada em vícios históricos e culturais que excluem os segmentos mais vulnerabilizados da sociedade e denunciam a irracionalidade de um sistema excludente, classificador, opressor e individualista, contrapondo-se ao discurso da universalização do ensino e do direito a uma educação pública de qualidade.Palavras-chave: Avaliação escolar. Complexidade. Prática profissional.Abstract: The present study consists of a reflection on the course developed by teachers and students of five groups of the 6th grade of BH Elementary School in the year 2017. From the discussion of the evaluation processes and pedagogical strategies developed by the teachers, to problematize the adequacy of the school work effectively carried out, considering the need to identify aspects that affect the quality of the educational process. The analysis of the approval and disapproval parameters adopted by the teachers, as well as the elements that subsidized the decision of the School Collegiate about the students' school future, were compared with the observations of the pedagogical coordination team. Based on the contributions of Bernard Charlot, Miguel Arroyo and Maria Helena Souza Patto on school failure and in the discussions developed by Cipriano Luckesi, Philippe Perrenoud and Edgar Morin on school evaluation processes and the complexity of the educational process, it is expected to arouse uneasiness and to explain the limits of the ideological differences perceived in the educational work and to contribute to the construction of a proposal of work that explains the differences and is deeply committed to the critical reflection on the practice itself. The results show that professional practice is still based on historical and cultural vices that exclude the most vulnerable segments of society and denounce the irrationality of an exclusionary, classifying, oppressive and individualistic system, in opposition to the discourse of universalization of education and law to a quality public educationKeywords: School evaluation. Complexity. Practice.

The modern education system in most countries is built on providing equitable education opportunities to all people, regardless of the limitations they have. There are no significant problems in primary and secondary inclusive education, while most traditional higher education models are not sufficiently adapted to the needs of people with learning disabilities. Thus, it has been replaced by a blended learning model built on new digital learning environments in recent years. The aim of the article is to study the blended learning environment of inclusive educa-tion systems in China and Russia. The article presents the findings of a “The Global Learner Survey”, conducted on behalf of Pearson in May 2019 by The Harris Poll. The survey involved over 11,000 learners aged 16-70 across nine-teen countries. Additionally, statistics on the higher education development in Russia and China were used. The analysis of the current state of higher education in Russia and China, as well as the development of a blended learning environ-ment, shows the positive effect as that it allows students with limited educational opportunities to integrate into the educational and public life of the university and implement all types of rehabilitation along with the educational process.

It is axiomatic that people with intellectual disabilities have the same human and civil rights to education as other citizens and that they must therefore have the same opportunities to attend their local schools and educational facilities. This is a fine vision. But it is far from the reality experienced by the majority of people with intellectual disabilities across the world.No country in the world has reason to be satisfied with the quality of the educational facilities which it provides for people with intellectual disabilities. But enough examples of good practice exist in different countries to make it possible for all of us to reappraise ways in which a higher quality of inclusive education and schooling could be provided for people with intellectual disabilities and the contribution that we can make personally and professionally to that process.In the field of intellectual disabilities, we need to define education in very broad terms as anything which systematically promotes learning and development. Defined in this way, education is a lifelong process which neither begins nor ends with schooling. Similarly, it is carried out by many people who are not teachers. Parents are at the heart of this process from the outset. The years spent at school are clearly of vital importance but they are only one element of the educational process. There is a sense in which all work with people with intellectual disabilities is educational, whatever the setting, in so far as it helps them to learn and to develop knowledge, skills and understanding.
