The article deals with the effectiveness of the questionnaire "Teacher through the eyes of students" and the practical implementation of the form as a tool for assessing the personal and professional qualities of teachers and their direct links with the student in the context of pedagogical, sociological, managerial dimensions and cross-cultural sociological research. Student evaluation is required to adjust actions in educational processes and to make changes to the organization’s management, educational programs, and learning technologies. The efficiency and effectiveness of the educational process in higher education depends crucially on two key people - the teacher and the student. Students are the main consumers of educational outcomes. Therefore, in order to determine the degree of student satisfaction, the quality of teaching and teaching methods and the correspondence of the real learning process to the expectations of students, teaching makes it possible to make adjustments to the content of the course, improve yourself as an author and improve the quality of the educational product provided, which will undoubtedly lead to improvement of the process , which both students and teachers are interested in. According to the university leadership, studies of this type will help to increase the effectiveness of teachers’ professional activity, stimulate cooperation between both sides of the educational process. Different approaches to the formation of questions of the questionnaire of world universities with emphasis on pedagogical skills, contact with the audience, students’ interest in subjects, relevance to future professional activity are revealed. The author of the research proposed his own questionnaire, tested in a pilot sociological research and theoretically useful for educators and the administrative corps, which will encourage the teacher to improve himself.

Based on the analysis of the concepts of “distance education” and “distance learning”, we proposed components of the quality of the remote education system (availability of educational standards and distance learning programs, high efficiency of remote learning technologies, evaluation of administrative and management decisions on the creation and functioning of the system, degree of regulatory and legal regulation, assessment of the level of technical and resource equipment, personnel readiness to organize and monitor the educational process in digital format) as well as the quality of distance learning (assessment of the content of digital educational content, the degree of innovation of the distance learning course, the effectiveness of feedback pedagogical communication, the degree of student training, the strength of residual knowledge, the effectiveness of digital educational means, the intensity of pedagogical interaction, the level of digital competencies of teachers and the readiness of students for independent educational activities in the digital environment). On the basis of these conditions, we formulated external (administrative, regulatory, material and technical, personnel) and internal (didactic and personal) factors affecting the effectiveness of distance learning. We also specifiedAspects related to internal factors, such as determining the pace of completing a distance course, requirements for academic support, reliance on internal motivation, managing student activity, using tools for measuring learning, substantiating methods of feedback pedagogical communication, studying student satisfaction with a distance course.

In the course of terminological analysis, the content of the concepts "modeling" and "model" was substantiated, the author's model of formation of deontological readiness of future physical and occupational therapists for professional activity was theoretically substantiated and developed, aimed at improving the quality of professional training in the formation of deontological behavior. Material and methods: theoretical analysis and systematization of scientific data of modern domestic psychological-pedagogical, methodical and specially-profiled literature for studying the relevance and state of development of the outlined problem; structural analysis to determine the structure of deontological readiness with its constituent components; modeling method for the development of a model for the formation of deontological readiness of future bachelors in physical therapy, occupational therapy to carry out professional activities. Results and discussion. The model includes target (purpose and tasks), content-technological (methodological approaches, pedagogical conditions, principles, stages of formation, forms, methods and means of organizing students' learning activities), diagnostic (criteria, indicators and levels of formation) and effective (deontological readiness), which are aimed at optimizing the educational process of students. The purpose of the developed model is to form deontological readiness of future physical and occupational therapists for professional activity. The tasks included: increasing the motivation of physical and occupational therapists to educational activities in general and mastering the theoretical basis of deontological knowledge in particular, as well as the orientation of interests and needs to form a deontological position in relation to the subjects of professional activity; formation of a holistic system of deontological knowledge necessary for the implementation of appropriate professional conduct in professional activities; development of professionally significant individual qualities and formation of professional orientation of personality; development of skills and formation of experience in building deontological relations in the process of professional interaction. Theoretical and methodological basis were: systemic, axiological, personal, deontological and competency approaches; general didactic (clarity, systematicity and consistency, accessibility, feasibility, activity and consciousness, science-based, individualization, collectivity, problems, developmental learning) and specific (principle of social conditionality, principle of humanization, principle of strength of knowledge acquisition, principle of practical orientation of learning, and situation-based) principles. Criteria (motivational, theoretical, personal, praxiological) and indicators were determined in accordance with the structural components of deontological readiness. Conclusion. The practical implementation of the developed model for the formation of their deontological readiness will increase the level of professional competence of these specialists

The continuous modernization of the education system makes the problems of the quality of teacher training increasingly relevant. Moreover, the measures taken to improve the system of teacher education are largely confined to the introduction of new organizational and managerial mechanisms and practically do not affect the internal content and technological structure of the teacher training process.Modern pedagogical universities are constantly looking for innovative models of training teachers that will be able to solve non-standard social and professional tasks. However, recent studies in this area do not fully take into account the nature of pedagogical activity and conditions of its formation. Thus, the need arises for a special study of the processes and means of updating the content and technologies of teacher training in order to control the level of students’ professional competencies development, as required by educational and professional standards. This means the creation of a special educational system in a pedagogical university, which can provide a harmonious and synchronous mastering by future specialists of both subject knowledge and methods of pedagogical activity.The article provides a theoretical study aimed at identifying key patterns of designing a new content for teacher education, the basis of which is the formation of a future teacher as a subject of his own professional activity. The author describes the experience of using a subject-oriented model of education, implemented at Bashkir State Pedagogical University n.a. M. Akmulla. The effectiveness of this model is confirmed by the high level of students’ mastery of designing methods and constructing the educational process, as well as their positive experience in the implementation of educational activities.

The relevance of the research is due to the need to increase the competitiveness of joint educational programs of pedagogical orientation in the system of Russian-Chinese relations in the field of higher education. The student satisfaction indicator not only indicates the attractiveness/unattractiveness of the educational program, but also allows you to identify the most vulnerable places in the organization of the educational process. The purpose of the study is to identify ways to improve the conditions for the implementation of Russian-Chinese joint educational programs of pedagogical orientation. Materials and methods. The study applied a descriptive method to conducting a survey of students studying under the bachelor's degree majors "Preschool Education", "Music Education", "Fine Arts" at the Moscow Institute of Arts of the Weinan Pedagogical University (Province Shanxi). 198 graduates participated in the questionnaire, accounting for 77% of the total number of graduates from the Moscow Institute of Arts. The study was conducted using the author's questionnaire, compiled taking into account the practice of assessing student satisfaction at Moscow Pedagogical State University and the recommendations of the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China on the evaluation of joint Chinese-foreign educational programs. Results. In the study, the assessment of students' satisfaction with learning was carried out in five directions: satisfaction with the quality and content of training, satisfaction with the organization of the educational process, satisfaction with the material and technical support of the educational process, satisfaction with the organization of research activities, satisfaction with the socio-psychological climate at the institute. The study found that students' satisfaction with the organization of the educational process (68.2%) and its material and technical support (66.92%) was the highest, compared with their publishing activities in research work (60.4%). Despite the impossibility of implementing programs under the "3+1" scheme, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the internal motivation of students during online training in the "4+0" mode did not decrease, which led to the preservation of the contingent of students throughout the entire period of program implementation. Discussion and conclusion. The research results have practical significance for managers, employees and teachers of pedagogical universities participating in the implementation of Chinese-foreign joint educational programs, as well as for representatives of the scientific community dealing with the problems of ensuring the quality of such programs. Further research of students' satisfaction with studying under Russian-Chinese joint educational programs for teacher training can be aimed at analyzing the quality of implementation of such programs at the level of academic degrees of students of pedagogical universities.

The quality of online learning mechanisms, widely implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic, is a significant issue for regional higher education systems. The research aims to assess student satisfaction with the quality of online education by identifying discrepancies between their requirements and the actual learning process. In order to examine the gaps between students’ expectations and perceptions, a new approach was proposed based on the integrated use of Gap analysis and SERVQUAL methodology, combining qualitative and quantitative aspects. SERVQUAL questionnaires for measuring student satisfaction with online learning include the following criteria: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy. Full- and part-time undergraduates of humanitarian and socio-economic departments of two universities participated in the study. Ural Federal University bachelors, learning via Moodle and Microsoft Teams platforms, could directly communicate with their peers and professors, while students of National Research Nuclear University MEPhI were engaged in massive open online courses (MOOC). As a result, all five criteria were analysed in the proposed model for quality assessment of online learning to reveal the gaps between students’ expectations and perceptions of the educational process. Significant discrepancies in the «empathy» and «responsiveness» criteria in both groups demonstrate low student satisfaction with the quality of communication and individualisation of learning. The research findings can be used to construct resource allocation models for implementing educational programmes and developing support measures for regional higher education institutions.

The article deals with the problem of improving the quality of training future navigators according to the strategic goals of the modernization of the educational process in Ukraine’s marine higher educational institutions, based on the humanistic paradigm, which requires special attention to the formation of future navigators’ communicative self-efficiency. The study of this problem is of particular relevance, since it is one of the main professional characteristics for representatives of the senior command navigators that enables them to carry out professional activities productively, adequately and at a high level: to organize the coordinated work of the crew, especially consisting of specialists of different nationalities, religious denominations, mentalities; competently and skilfully communicate with seaport employees, representatives of foreign companies, etc. The paper presents the conceptual provisions of A. Bandura, the founder of the theory of self-efficiency, its role and importance in person’s life as well as those of J. Caprari and D. Servon, D. Matsumoto (communication), educators (self-efficiency), (communicative self-efficiency) in the context of importance and the need to develop and form these phenomena for improving the quality of the training aimed at future navigators in higher education institutions of maritime profile. The phenomenon “communicative self-efficiency of the future navigators” has been defined; its essence and structure have been considered, the latter consisting of three components: reflexive (self-identification with navigators as model professionals, the presence of adequate self-assessment of their own actions in the field of professional communication, a stable reflexive position), cognitive-operational (awareness of the communicative sphere of maritime professional activity, skills, professional communication abilities); affective-behavioural (confidence in the possibility of productive communication in professional activities, emotionality, activity, responsibility, ability to self-regulate and self-sustain). The forms and methods for the formation of communicative self-efficiency of cadets of marine universities involved into the experiment have been presented: reflective workshop, keeping a reflective diary, which gave the cadet the opportunity to conduct self-analysis of their own professional actions and enhance self-understanding regarding the presence of the necessary professional personal qualities for performing their future professional activities effectively and building a positive Self-concept of the future navigator; the organizing dialogue “The role of the reflective component in developing future navigators’ communicative self-efficiency”, the technology “Developing confidence in self-efficiency and productive communication of future navigators in their future independent professional activities”, the training module “Communication skills”, etc. Keywords: communication, self-efficiency, communicative self-efficiency, future navigator, marine higher educational institution.

The scientific article is devoted to the study of a complex but relevant problem for the period of creating the preconditions for sustainable development - the definition of approaches to providing the economy with strong human resources. It is noted that its formation is always faced with the issues of reproduction of the labor force, the effectiveness of which implies the achievement in total, at the same time high levels of quality of life and vocational training of people. Particular attention is paid to the emergence of new problems that increase the severity of personnel issues in Ukraine: there is a significant increase in labor migration of Ukrainians abroad, reducing the population and working age. However, despite the difficulties of the transition economy, the country has gradual, progressive changes in the entire system of educational infrastructure, attempts are being made to reform the organization of education in educational institutions of all levels: higher education, secondary school, vocational education. In addition to traditional vocational schools in the educational, already competitive environment, there are new educational institutions - technical lyceums, technical schools, colleges. However, a significant part of vocational schools has shortcomings related to the quality of their material and technical base, the level of training of teachers in terms of their mastery of the latest technological concepts and methods of teaching educational material. Improving the system of vocational training should be based on the understanding that innovative development has already become an integral part of the domestic economy and has led to new requirements for personal factors of production. Now there is a need to closely link professional training to specific production conditions of future activities, the entire educational process should be built taking into account changes in the state of production processes, target settings for obtaining the final results of enterprises. Under modern market conditions, the first priority is not the production of more goods and services of one type, but their differentiation and new quality characteristics within one product group. Relevant changes occur in the assessment of the personal factor of production. This is not just about the quantitative certainty of staff, but about the level of training of each employee, his ability to adapt to technical and technological changes. In the process of professional training it is important to form in future employees an awareness of their role and importance in the overall efficiency of enterprises, to bring to their understanding the high probability of losses associated with their possible errors in the production functions. The issue of greening of professional activity should be important in the educational processes of all educational institutions

The subject of the article is the formation of professional culture of students; it is considered in order to improve the work on its formation in the educational process at the University, in particular-in RIPB-on the material of training economists, lawyers and customs officers. The authors describe professional culture as a set of special knowledge and practical skills of a person as an “employeeˮ, implemented in a specific type of socially significant work, emphasize that it is based on the universal values of a professional as a «person». Therefore, the formation of professional culture is inseparable from the socio-humanitarian development of students, carried out in the course of studying the relevant disciplines. According to the authors, any professional culture has its own organization (in our case - University), which is based on a particular professional activity (in particular, University training), while it embodies a Form that is subject to “fillingˮ with the specific Content of various activities as socially institutionalized pro-fessions. As conclusions, the following problems are substantiated: introduction of a special course “Professional cultureˮ; overcoming “departmentalˮ disciplinarity in the study of socio-humanitarian and professional dis-ciplines; improving the quality of “formalˮ training of students in the conditions of digitalization and comput-erization; development of a culture of extracurricular forms of professional work.

The article presents a lapidary analysis of possibilities of using the case method and the project method in the formation of professional thinking of students studying philology and journalism. We also consider the possibilities of using case technology and project method in the process of studying professionally oriented disciplines. The practical significance of the work comes down to disclosing the effectiveness of the case method and the method of projects in the process of forming professional skills. The relevance of this article is determined by modern realities of educational process at the university. The case method and the method of projects make it possible to increase the motivational component of learning and contribute to the development of teachers’ progressive thinking and students’ creative potential, both of which are necessary for professional activities. In this article we also made an attempt at revealing the essence of these methods in the educational process at bachelor’s level. They turned out to be the main methods for the formation of students’ universal and professional competencies. The project method and case method act as an integral factor in the gamification of educational process contributing to the formation of skills of expedient action, activation of thinking, instilling the skills of independent search for solutions in standard and non-standard situations that may come up in the course of professional activity. Students actively and productively master the necessary competencies while revealing their latent potential. The case method and the project method demonstrate great efficiency in improving the quality of personnel training; the specific types of their practical implementation are developed jointly during classes by university teachers and employers’ representatives. The purpose of the article is to determine the methodological potential of the case method and the method of projects in the formation of professional thinking of future philologists and journalists and to consider the possibilities of using case technology and the project method in the process of studying professionally oriented disciplines. The project method is a relevant and effective technology that significantly increases the level of mastery of educational material, the internal motivation of students and their independence. The case method initiates the development of professional thinking, independence, unconventional thinking and creativity. When faced with a formulated problem, students concentrate on finding a solution to the problem and the teacher’s skillful interpretation of the problem directs students to search for non-standard ways. Everything mentioned above leads to the development of integrative thinking and significantly expands students’ capabilities. The practice of working with the case method and the project method in the classroom confirms their effectiveness in the professional development of university students, expanding their professional horizons and the formation of professional thinking.
