The modern educational process reform considers a competence approach as a way to achieve the expected learning outcomes. Following the approach in 2017 the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine updated the curricula for general secondary education institutions. The main change is as follows: the focus was shifted from content to learning outcomes. The point of expected learning outcomes as part of the competence approach is widely discussed in the educational environment. At the same time, the issue of achieving the expected learning outcomes while studying the specific chapters of the “Biology and Ecology” curriculum for secondary schools, in our opinion, has not been closely studied. The purpose of the article is to provide evidence that the development of expected learning outcomes by tenth-graders (with Biology as major) while studying the topic “Exchange of Matter and Energy” is quite achievable. The difference between the concepts of “competence” and “expected learning outcomes”, corresponding to secondary education Biology curriculum (standard and profound variants) is emphasized. The approach to teaching this issue is offered. It allows students to develop such expected learning outcomes defined by school curriculum as the ability to qualify, explain, and give examples of basic Biology and Ecology laws. It has been stressed that while learning and mentation the following knowledge component of expected learning outcomes is realized: students use the terms “metabolism”, “homeostasis”, “epigenesis”. The attitude component is realized by getting aware of the fact that body parts need to be constantly renewed. The offered logic of educational material communication makes students effective in getting knowledge about certain biological facts and phenomena. In certain case, it is the ability to explain wildlife phenomena with the help of the scientific method of inquiry elements. The task examples given are to develop students’ ability to predict changes in cell and body metabolism under the influence of external factors, and the ability to seek independently for new information about the bio- and ecosystems functioning features. The justified teaching educational material includes a general abstract thesis, which on being stated at the beginning of a chapter, gets new substantiations with students acquiring knowledge of biological phenomena. The author believes that for expected learning outcomes, it is meaningful to study everything related to enzyme catalysis, in conjunction with milieu interior and body balance control. The possible variant to explain and develop the concept of “metabolic pathway”, necessary for students to predict metabolism dynamics, is described.

Introduction. The training of future foreign language teachers should focus on current advances in the IT field, in particular on the use of elements of distance learning in mastering professional and general competencies. One of the common learning management systems that provide distance education is the Moodle system –Learning Management System(LSM), courses, virtual learning environment, or just a learning platform that provides educational subjects and administrators with a large set of tools for computerized teaching and learning. Purpose. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the features and advantages of distance learning in the information and educational environment of higher education, the structure and principles of working with distance courses in the Moodle system during the training of future teachers of foreign languages, which is used at Mariupol State University, and also to determine the advantages of the Moodle learning management system in the educational process. Results. We believe that the Moodle system, which was developed in the logic of the “pedagogy of social constructionism” (P. Berger and T. Lukman), is able to significantly increase the level of education if the work of students is properly organized in it: it will create a solid base and allow to prepare a specialist who is well trained and possesses competencies at a high level. On the example of our distance course “Methodological workshop” for students of OS Master in specialty 014 Secondary education “Language and Literature (English)”, which organically combines the theoretical principles and practice of teaching English, as well as in-depth study of the courses“Methods of teaching basic foreign language in secondary education”and“Modern technologies for teaching a basic foreign language (English) in high school”, which have practical importance in the professional development of future specialists, we analyzed the productivity of work organization and the effectiveness of students learning in Moodle, using the principle of “constructive coordination” (John Biggs). In its construction, we approached the planning of the entire process of studying the discipline as a set of interconnected types of educational activities of students. The principle of “first content, then technology” works here. This course contains three components that are consistent with each other: 1) expected learning outcomes, consistent with the objectives of the educational program and programmatic learning outcomes; 2) assessment, which verifies certain learning outcomes; 3) all types of activities during the course that are aimed at achieving learning outcomes. Conclusion. According to online surveys and our own experience, the use of distance learning courses created in the Moodle system in the educational process of students allows them to better study a specific academic discipline, helps to improve students’ achievement; complements enriches and makes the learning process convenient for both students and teachers.

The main tasks of modern education are: training, education and development. In their professional activities, the teacher guarantees the continuous implementation of these processes, their harmonious combination and strives to ensure the effectiveness of the educational process. The approach to competence in General secondary education objectively corresponds to social expectations in the field of education and the interests of participants in the educational process. The competence approach is an approach that takes into account learning outcomes, so the result of learning is not a set of information received, but the ability of students to respond to various problem situations. Therefore, in the secondary education system, a set of tasks on the basics of robotics is used as a tool for teachers to achieve educational goals

The article highlights the features of the use of visualization technologies during distance learning of the Ukrainian language in general secondary education. Scientific works on the coverage of the outlined problem in them are analyzed. It is proved that an effective learning tool, a productive methodological tool for intellectual development of students is the visualization of educational material. The peculiarities of the preparation of educational information are determined, which in a visually accessible for perception and understanding form can provide students with basic or necessary information. It is emphasized that the principle of cognitive visualization is based on psychological laws, according to which the effectiveness of learning increases through the connection to the process of perception of the «figurative» right hemisphere. The peculiarities of using the technology of visualization of educational material, in particular in distance learning, are substantiated. Techniques of structuring and visualization of educational material are described. Emphasis is placed on compliance with certain recommendations to achieve the goals set in the implementation of visualization technologies. It is emphasized that when working on the visualization of educational material, it is necessary to take into account certain patterns of perception of visual aids by students. The typical mistakes that are most often made in the process of visualization of educational material are analyzed, recommendations are given to eliminate them. It was found that the use of distance and blended learning and the significant potential of multimedia learning tools encourage teachers to use visualization in the educational process, which contributes to the intensification of the process of learning. Examples of realization of various pedagogical technologies of visualization in the process of teaching the Ukrainian language in general secondary education institutions in a distance format are given.

The needs of teachers, students and their parents in the use of e-textbooks and electronic educational means were identified through empirical methods (observation, survey). Experience of using e-textbooks, electronic educational means is described on the basis of research and experimental work of 25 secondary education institutions. The results are based on sociological surveys, interviews and questionnaires of the participants in the educational process. A total of 1005 respondents took part in the study: 352 students, 296 teachers, 357 parents. The research has shown that most teachers are ready to use e-textbooks, e-tutorials, electronic educational means. It is more convenient for students and teachers to work with multimedia, interactive e-learning tools, e-textbooks. The Ukrainian state educational policy contributes to the development of digital pedagogy, digital education and the creation of high-quality electronic educational resources. International experience determines the priorities of the development of e-textbooks and the transition from static scanned versions of printed textbooks to interactive, multimedia, universal editions in which teachers can transform educational material, and, subsequently, to the development of adaptive versions that will provide students with the opportunity to form individual educational routes. In our future research we intend to concentrate on organizational, psychological and pedagogical conditions for the introduction of e-textbooks to secondary education and teacher training for their use as a guarantee of the development of digital pedagogy.

The article describes the use of BYOD technology (Bring Your Own Device) in educational practice using the Lecture Racing mobile application. This application provides feedback between the teacher and students both in the classroom and during distance learning, contributes to the visualization of educational material and, in general, the informatization of the educational process. The purpose of the study is to conduct a theoretical analysis of the current state and prospects for the development of BYOD technology in Russia and abroad, and to test the benefits of using this technology in educational practice using the specific mobile application. During the study, an analysis of scientific, theoretical and practical literature on BYOD technology was carried out. In the process of experimental work, test tasks were the instrument of measuring knowledge and skills of students. As a result of a theoretical analysis and study of the practical possibilities of using BYOD technology (using the Lecture Racing mobile application as an example), it was found that this technology allows you to visualize information that is displayed in real time on the screen of each student's mobile device, regardless of its location. This technology also allows both the student and the teacher to quickly work with information, provide feedback, receive an independent assessment (since the assessment is set automatically), saves time, and develops the information culture of students.

No one wants to be treated like an object, regarded as an item of property, or put up for sale. Yet many people frame personal autonomy in terms of self-ownership, representing themselves as property owners with the right to do as they wish with their bodies. Others do not use the language of property, but are similarly insistent on the rights of free individuals to decide for themselves whether to engage in commercial transactions for sex, reproduction, or organ sales. Drawing on analyses of rape, surrogacy, and markets in human organs, this book challenges notions of freedom based on ownership of our bodies and argues against the normalization of markets in bodily services and parts. The book explores the risks associated with metaphors of property and the reasons why the commodification of the body remains problematic. The book asks what is wrong with thinking of oneself as the owner of one's body? What is wrong with making our bodies available for rent or sale? What, if anything, is the difference between markets in sex, reproduction, or human body parts, and the other markets we commonly applaud? The book contends that body markets occupy the outer edges of a continuum that is, in some way, a feature of all labor markets. But it also emphasizes that we all have bodies, and considers the implications of this otherwise banal fact for equality. Bodies remind us of shared vulnerability, alerting us to the common experience of living as embodied beings in the same world. Examining the complex issue of body exceptionalism, the book demonstrates that treating the body as property makes human equality harder to comprehend.
