The article is devoted to objectifying the consequences of the emergency transition to distance education in universities and the global decline in academic mobility during the 2020 pandemic through the prism of active implementation of the methodology of success and excellence in education. The author highlighted the current trends in education by the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century: increasing inequality in the education system; the predominance of the idea and methodology of success and excellence; a stable division into global and regional; the replacement of the model of internalization of values with the model of knowledge generation; refusal of targeted state subsidies in favor of self-financing; precarization of the middle teaching class; demonstration of the superiority of digital solutions in the translation of knowledge; creation of outsourcing chains of interaction in the educational sphere (research centers – universities, universities – commercial publishing houses, schools – career guidance centers, universities – online plaftorms, etc.). The article analyzes the aspects of changes in the modern model of higher education, taking into account the desire to position universities in the world educational rankings. The basis for a discussion of the choice of development priorities has been formed, taking into account the growing dissatisfaction of teachers with the need to match the model of success and excellence in their educational and scientific activities. It was found that pre-pandemic trends in education were multidirectional, and their impact on education systems and learning models (global or regional) was more stimulating for development, rather than mandatory for survival. The crisis has divided the manifestations of the new into two components: necessary renewal and sufficient improvement to ensure stability. It is noted that education is characterized by a fairly conservative approach to the organization of the educational process, so the extreme transition to distance learning during the pandemic actually replaced the evolutionary period of transformation of education, which would have lasted for more than one decade. Academic mobility, which has become widespread in the world, but which was forced to temporarily stop its activity during the pandemic, in the new conditions can continue to contribute to improving the ranking of universities, but can also carry threats of precarization to their working teachers and become a source of social tension, which should be taken into account when developing university development programs in the context of universal digitalization. Conclusions are drawn about trends have been tested by the pandemic reality, which will determine the vector of future development of higher education. Acknowledgements.

Рассматриваются проблемы профессиональной ориентации детей младшего школьного возраста. Подчеркивается необходимость обращения внимания на смысловые дефиниции для более точного определения проблемного поля исследования. Представлены результаты изучения уровня знаний о профессиях обучающихся начальной школы г. Санкт-Петербурга. Определено, что смысловое содержание понятия «профессия» для обучающихся является абстрактным, также установлена недостаточная информированность детей в целом о мире профессий. Для получения достоверных сведений сопоставляются результирующие данные ответов детей и их родителей. Сделан вывод о том, что участникам эксперимента сложно представить себя в профессиональном будущем. Акцентируется внимание на необходимости улучшения работы по формированию знаний о профессиях младших школьников через реализацию соответствующей программы. The problems of professional orientation of children of primary school age are considered. For the introduction to the course of the studied problems, various views and approaches to the definition of the concept of “career guidance” and its components are described. The results of studying the level of knowledge about the professions of primary school students in St. Petersburg are presented. It is determined that the semantic content of the concept of “profession” for students is abstract and unclear, and also the lack of awareness of children in general about the world of professions is established. To obtain reliable and complete information, the results of the responses to the questionnaires of primary school students and their parents are compared. Based on the obtained research data, it is concluded that it is difficult for the participants of the experiment – younger schoolchildren to imagine themselves in the professional future. Attention is focused on the need to improve and systematize the work on the formation of complete knowledge of primary school students about professions through the implementation of an appropriate program in the course of primary school education. This program, based on the full interaction of adults and children, is focused not only on expanding children’s knowledge about the world of professions, but also fully taking into account their motives and interests, which ultimately can affect the quality of the educational process.

The article addresses the problem of higher education - improving the quality of graduates' professional training, provides a brief analysis of research results, Recommendations on how to use the results “Quality of education” is a complex characteristic of education, the task of which is to train specialists who are competitive in the world market. It is impossible to develop a single, scientifically based system of indicators for the quality of student training, since the education system is different in all countries of the World, moreover, a different system of training students, which is one of the influencing factors on the quality of Higher Education. It is necessary to take into account the specifics of the university.One of the elements of the quality assessment system is monitoring, which is considered to be a comprehensive system for diagnosing the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the effectiveness of an educational system. The assessment of the quality of education should be formed as a cumulative indicator of all the qualities that influence the educational process. During the work we used the results of sociological research of the subjects of the educational process: students, teachers, monitoring of the educational process (academic performance of students).

<p class="0abstract">The purpose of the study is to test the effectiveness of visualization of learning and memorization in the educational process in higher educational institutions. The research was carried out in higher educational institution in the Russian Federation among 1-4-year students as well as teachers. The sample included 200 students and 35 teachers. The experiment consisted of three stages - introductory, experimental, and final. The initial assessment of students’ professional knowledge was carried out at the introductory stage. The goal of the experimental stage was to introduce visualization of learning and memorization, mainly, the use of mind maps and charts in students’ professional training. Tasks were developed and used, providing for the creation of mini projects, construction layouts with charts, mental maps (reflecting the professional role of a specialist in construction and architecture fields), features and stages of design, priorities of architectural and construction activities. At the final stage, the final assessment of students’ progress in vocational training and a comparative analysis of the data were carried out, conclusions were drawn about the advisability of visualizing the processes of learning and memorizing in higher education. Teachers’ attitude towards the active implementation of visualization of learning and memorizing was also studied at the introductory and final stages. To determine teachers’ attitude towards the active implementation of visualization of learning and memorizing, the survey was conducted. The introduction of the above-mentioned tasks gave the following results in the experimental group. Namely, there were high growth rates of students with a high level of knowledge (11.5%), 16.4% - with a sufficient level of knowledge and 13.7% - with an average level of knowledge; there was also a decrease in the number of students with low grades (by 16.6%) compared to the control group at the final stage. The number of teachers with positive-promising and positive attitude towards visualization of learning and memorizing increased by 14.3%, the number of respondents with positive-neutral attitude decreased by the same percentage, and there was not a single teacher who retained a negative attitude. The practical value of the results lies in the possibility of using the questionnaire and tasks developed in the real educational process of modern higher education institutions.</p>

Testing and examining go on in higher education all the time through continuous assessments and end semester examinations. The grades scored by students determine not only academic mobility but eventually who get employed in the job market, which seems to be shrinking all over the world. Those charged with testing are often staff who have higher qualifications in their subject areas but are not necessarily teaching or examination experts. Against this background, the researcher wanted to find out what was happening at selected university across three schools: Social Studies, Education and Science. The university is fairly young having been awarded its charter twenty years ago. The paper asked two questions namely, at what levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy are lecturers asking examination questions? Secondly, do the level and balance of questions show growth in examining skills? The study evaluated over 1039 questions from randomly selected examination papers from the Examinations Office for the academic years from 2014/15 to 2017/18 (three academic years). A guide from the list of verbs used in Anderson s (revision of Bloom was used to analyze the questions. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the trends in testing for each year. ANOVA and t-tests were used to find out if there were significant differences between numbers across categories and within categories. The results of the study show that most examination questions are at the levels of remember (literal) and knowledge (understand). In 2016/17 and 2017/18 academic years, there were significant differences in the percentage of questions examined in these two categories. However, it seems from the study, that testing or examining skills do not grow through the practice of setting questions. There is need for examiners to be trained to use the knowledge in setting questions that discriminate effectively across the academic abilities of students they teach.

La implantación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior, dentro de una nueva cultura de la calidad en la enseñanza superior, nos hace plantearnos sobre qué aspectos son los que dan calidad a la misma. Entre los factores de calidad de la enseñanza superior se encuentran, la orientación en las Universidades y el análisis de la inserción laboral de los egresados. En el texto presentamos una investigación llevada a cabo a seis promociones de egresados de Magisterio especialistas en Educación Física en la Universidad de Sevilla (N=292). A partir de los datos obtenidos observamos que un 95% de la población encuestada no pide orientación laboral o profesional durante la carrera y que un 63% encuentra un primer trabajo relacionado con el mundo de la actividad física y el deporte, mientras que un 37% su trabajo está relacionado con otros temas. Por tanto, concluimos que la mayoría de los egresados de Magisterio especialistas en Educación Física no reciben orientación para su inserción laboral por lo que no todos consiguen empleos relacionados con el mundo de la actividad física y el deporte.Palabra clave: Orientación profesional, tránsito hacia la vida activa, egresados y Educación Física.Abstract: The introduction of the European Higher Education Area in a new culture of quality in Higher Education, makes us ask about the aspects that give quality to it. Among the quality factors in Higher Education we can find: University guidance and analysis of the graduate´s incorporation into the labour world. In this article we present the research we did in conducted at the six classes of graduates of Teaching in Physical Education from the University of Seville (N = 292). From the data we obteined, we can observe that 95% of the surveyed population does not ask for work or professional guidance during their degree and 63% of the surveyed population find their first job connected with the world of sport and physical activity, while 37% of this population has a work connected with other topics. Thus, we can conclude that most graduates of Teaching in Physical Education do not receive guidance for their incorporation into the labour world. This is why no everygraduate can get a job connected with the world of sport and physical activity.Key words: Career guidance, transition to working life, graduates and Physical Education.

В условиях четвертой промышленной революции, информационного общества и цифровизации экономики все более возрастает значимость комплексной подготовки мотивированного абитуриента, способного не только к успешному прохождению вступительных испытаний, но и готового к обучению в условиях образовательного процесса современного технического университета. Различные способы формирования готовности будущих студентов к обучению в технических вузах демонстрируют новые организационные структуры – предуниверситарии, деятельность которых направлена на профориентацию и реализацию образовательных программ довузовской подготовки (профильные инженерно-технические классы, подготовительные курсы и т. д.). В статье обосновываются особенности предуниверситариев, механизмы их создания и функционирования. Предуниверситарий в современных условиях выступает как система отбора, сопровождения и подготовки мотивированных обучающихся для поступления в университет, широко использующую не только предметную подготовку, но и развивающую научно-исследовательскую работу школьников, создающую условия для погружения учащихся в культуру, образовательное и творческое пространство вуза в период школьного обучения; важной особенностью данных моделей является тесное взаимодействие образовательных организаций общего и высшего образования, широкого привлечения партнеров и работодателей к данной работе. Обоснованы отдельные характеристики деятельности предуниверситариев и аналогичных инновационных образовательных структур по работе с абитуриентами на базе вузов, в том числе в рамках следующих направлений: организация сетевых моделей профильного обучения старшеклассников при сохранении традиционных форм довузовской подготовки; реализация процесса психологической, интеллектуальной, культурной подготовки будущего студента к обучению в вузе через различные формы участия в системной образовательной и воспитательной работе предуниверситариев; обеспечение предпрофильной подготовки обучающихся (в том числе и ранней) и др. Систематизированы различные модели предуниверситариев современных высших учебных заведений, выявлены и описаны ключевые аспекты деятельности данных структур.Currently, in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the information society and the digitalization of the economy, the importance of comprehensive training of a motivated applicant, capable of not only successfully passing the entrance tests, but also ready to study in the educational process of a modern technical university, is growing. Various ways of building the readiness of future students to study at technical universities demonstrate the new organizational structures of the pre-university, whose activities are aimed at career guidance and the implementation of educational programs of pre-university training (specialized engineering classes, preparatory courses, etc.). The article substantiates the features of preuniversaries, the mechanisms of their creation and functioning. In modern conditions, a pre-university acts as a system of selection, accompaniment and preparation of motivated students for university entrance, widely using not only subject preparation, but also developing research work of schoolchildren, creating conditions for immersing students in the culture, educational and creative space of the university during the period of schooling; an important feature of these models is the close interaction of educational organizations of general and higher education, the wide involvement of partners and employers in this work. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the substantiation of certain characteristics of the activities of pre-university students and similar innovative educational structures for working with applicants on the basis of universities, including: a) the creation of a system of specialized training for high school students with the optimization of the implementation of educational programs towards educational institutions of higher education while maintaining the traditional forms of pre-university preparatory courses; b) the organization and support of the process of psychological, intellectual, cultural preparation of a future student for studying at a university through various forms of participation in systemic educational and educational work of pre-university students and similar models; c) ensuring early vocational guidance and profiling of students in order to support the determination of the choice of further educational paths before moving to graduation class, etc. The theoretical significance of the work is associated with the study of various preuniversity models in modern higher education institutions, the identification and description of key aspects of the activity of these structures and models.

Today, the system of higher education around the world continues to take measures to effectively organize educational activities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. All METHODS OF TEACHING AT HIGHER EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENTS Issue I (81), 2021 131 countries of the world had to face unexpected difficulties in connection with the introduction of self-isolation. The higher education system was "on the front lines" with a large number of people. The closure of higher education institutions and the emergency transition to distance learning have led to obvious problems, mainly due to insufficient technical equipment, lack or poor preparation of both teachers and students to work in the new environment. These and other problems pose another challenge to the higher education system in a critical situation. At the same time, along with the obvious challenges and problems, the new format of distance learning provides a wide range of opportunities and prospects for change and improvement of educational systems, for which the critical situation creates forced conditions. The article substantiates the importance of effective distance learning in higher education in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and outlines the main problems of the individual in the relationship "teacher-student" in quarantine. The current stage of informatization of society cannot be imagined without the introduction of information and communication technologies in all parts of the education system, educational institutions and government. These technologies are especially relevant in quarantine, as they allow you to implement distance learning. It is also important that distance education expands and renews the role of the teacher, makes him a mentor-consultant who should coordinate the cognitive process, constantly improve the courses he teaches, and increase creativity and skills in accordance with innovations and innovations. During distance education, there is also a positive impact on higher education: increasing their creative and intellectual potential through self-organization, the desire for knowledge, the use of modern information and telecommunications technologies, the ability to make responsible decisions. The analysis of the research devoted to distance educational process, has allowed to reveal its other basic features, in particular: orientation on independent cognitive activity; significant potential opportunities for distance learning to intensify educational and cognitive activities; the possibility of organizing open learning, expanding the audience of consumers of educational services; integration of world educational services; reduction, under certain conditions, of material costs for the organization and implementation of the learning process.
