The article presents the peculiarities and trends of the implementation of peer assessment in the educational process of institutions of higher education, analyzes the view of world scholars on the changes in the theory and practice of assessing academic achievements of students in the context of emphasizing personality-oriented learning, namely recognition of the formative evaluation function through which students become not only observers of the process of evaluation by the teacher, and are involved in the use and development of evaluation criteria, self-assessment and peer assessment. The peculiarities of formative and peer assessment are analyzed, advantages and disadvantages of traditional and peer assessment are determined. Among the suggested ways to avoid the disadvantages of traditional assessment is the combination of traditional and peer assessment, the implementation of ICT tools to support peer assessment. The digital evaluation tools were analyzed and the results of the survey of teachers regarding the interest in possession of digital evaluation tools were presented, which was attended by 769 teachers from six Ukrainian partner universities of the MoPed project. The results of the survey on the use of assessment techniques and the use of digital tools for assessment, which was attended by scientific and teaching staff of the Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University, were presented. The results of the survey showed that today peer assessment is used in the educational process by 15.6% of respondents, 62.3% use it in part, 22.1% do not use it. At the same time, 51.9% of the respondents are ready to use peer assessment in the educational process after a closer look at this method. According to the survey results, the digital instruments used by scientific and teaching staff in the learning process are the most popular ones: e-mail, computer tests that are checked automatically, and work with shared documents or presentations, but some resources that can be used for peer assessment, less than a third of teachers are used and their use does not always take into account all possibilities of such means.

The article highlights the possibility and feasibility of the use of cloud technologies by teacher in the educational process of higher educational institutions, modern schools or institutions of additional education. The advantages and disadvantages of using cloud technologies in the learning process are indicated. After all, cloud technologies are one of the perspective directions in the development of modern information technologies. Under cloud technologies are understood distributed data processing technologies, in which computer resources and power are provided to the user as an Internet service. The use of cloud technologies is not only associated with a huge reduction in costs and intensification, but also with significant consumer risks (especially the risks of storage and data transfer). On the other hand, cloud solutions are being improved all the time, and the cloud provider can now reach an acceptable level of security by adhering to a number of conditions. The use of cloud technologies in the educational process will, above all, make it possible to solve the problem of ensuring equal access of students and teachers to high-quality educational resources both at classes and in extra hours. Cloud computing has wide-ranging prospects for applications in education, research and applied research, as well as for distance learning for professionals, postgraduates and students. Cloud technologies are not only the future, it is in many respects also the present. The use of cloud technologies (cloud computing) by higher educational institutions is a promising direction, which allows to increase the efficiency of the educational process, reduce the cost of its implementation. Significantly reduced capital costs associated with the creation and maintenance of educational institutions of their own data centers, provides flexible scalability and high availability of services used in the learning process, which ultimately increases the level of satisfaction of users needs: students, faculty, teaching staff, as more time is spent on solving educational and research tasks.

The paper is dedicated to issues of distance education of applicants for scientific degrees — graduate students and doctoral students. In particular, the aim of the article is to determine the negative characteristics of distance education in higher education, while learning the information and communication technologies, including the postgraduate education, for formulating a comprehensive view of this format of education. Significant characteristics (peculiarities) of the distance education are outlined by author. They are: individualization of the educational process, indirect interaction of participants, and specialization of the environment. Essential advantages (objective need to optimize individual qualities and learning skills; more comfortable learning conditions than in the classroom; saving personal resources) and disadvantages (destruction of social relations; development of deep introverted qualities of the individual; gradual exclusion of the person from socialization; inability and / or unwillingness of individual tutors to adapt their professional skills to new conditions; inadequate level of technical support of the teaching staff, and in some places — students) of distance education are determined by the researcher on the basis of using of content-analysis of pieces for the content of features, mentioned above. The author's reasoning about the list of advantages and disadvantages of distance education is supported and expanded by the in-depth analysis of empirical sources, including scientific researches within the object of research. The advantages and disadvantages of distance postgraduate education according to the criterion of their nature are classified and three basic groups of advantages and disadvantages of the distance education are suggested. It is concluded that the reverse side of the "medal" in the form of distance education contains negative phenomena and processes of technical-technological, psychological and social-communicative nature. It is emphasized, that the consequences of psychological and social-communicative nature can be irreversible and lead to the complete destruction of an individual and the loss of social relations. It is indicated that the best option for further development of educational processes is the rational use of distance learning technologies as a supplement to traditional education.

Values And Beliefs

In the increasingly multicultural society of north America, occupational therapists have a responsibility to develop awareness and knowledge concerning different cultural groups. By accepting and understanding clients' customs, values and beliefs, clinicians have a better chance of assessing and producing more effective outcomes. Since occupational therapy has incorporated western middle-class values into its theory and practice, many evaluation tools used are based on norrns developed for a white middle-class population. Using these evaluations with minority groups brings the danger of improper interpretation of test results. Consequently, increasing emphasis is being placed on the importance of culture fairness and the development of culture-fair evaluation tools for usage across different cultural groups. This paper will present a discussion concerning the importance, advantages and disadvantages of both culture-fair and culture-specific tests and evaluation tools.

The purpose of research is to study and illustrate the main stages of implementing distance learning (DL) in schools, colleges, and universities using examples of real educational organizations. Materials for the study were the results of the authors’ work on the implementation of DL in the educational process of their organizations. The methodological work was based on the DL theoretical foundations of E.S. Polat scientific school and her followers. To achieve this goal and solve problems, the following groups of research methods were used:– theoretical: analysis of psychological, pedagogical, methodological literature, regulatory documents in the aspect of the problem under study; modeling of distance learning in educational organizations, systematization of scientific and theoretical and experimental data; classification of selected components and characteristics;– empirical-diagnostic (survey); observational (observation-direct and indirect, long and short-term);– statistical: measurement of the obtained data (collection of statistical material); determination and processing of quantitative and qualitative indicators of the experiment.The theory and practice of DL in Russia has been going on for over 20 years. When implementing DL in an educational organization, it is important to study the main concepts of DL in Russian and foreign scientific schools, determine the implementation strategy, but not to act “blindly”. A huge problem comes to the fore: the lack of readiness of the teaching staff to comprehend and master modern pedagogical and information technologies for organizing the distance learning process. The absence of the development concept of a pedagogical system for the majority of heads of educational organizations allows for some confusion in the submission and control of educational material, the process is aggravated by the lack of full-fledged consultations, as a result of which many participants in the educational process are dissatisfied with the results. Instead of the stage of serious system design, lecturers limit themselves to digitizing ready-made traditional lectures, conducting them in the “talking head” mode with reading the theory from the screen, introducing an automated testing system or any number of tasks “from the textbook” with the message “send a photo of the completed task”, which, of course, cannot lead to a high-quality learning process. Most lecturers try to transfer all the elements of the full-time learning system to the distance learning system automatically when changing the form of training, which is basically impossible when changing the environment. The new learning environment has different capabilities and requires the lecturer to plan differently, present information, and organize monitoring and record results.The results of the study allowed us to identify general trends in the organization of DL at all levels of education and specific problems typical for particular levels. The main issue in organization DL at school was the creation of the learning environment (technical support, Internet, organization of DL pedagogical system) as well as methodological support of DL process (training lecturers in DL methodology). In higher education institutions and colleges, the main problem turned out to be stimulating the teaching staff to master the methodological and technical foundations of DL, since the majority of lecturers clearly lacked motivation to provide a high-quality DL. In conclusion, it should be noted that for further development of distance learning, the management of organizations needs to think about developing economic mechanisms for paying developers of distance learning courses and lecturers, working out copyright protection for created distance learning courses, training lecturers in the methodology for developing and conducting distance learning courses, purchasing professional DLS (distance learning systems) with a guarantee of technical support from developers for several years and customization for the needs of the organization. There is also a need for a system of benefits and incentives for distance lecturers on health protection and incentives for further high-quality work.

The article provides a comparative analysis of traditional and innovative learning systems; highlights the features, content, advantages and application limits of innovative educational technologies in the optics of modern concepts of pedagogical theory and practice. The content characteristics of the concept of «innovative learning» and the regularities of its course have been defined. The authors of the article define the concept of «innovative learning» in universities as a «futures», advanced training system that adequately correlates with a higher degree of development of a society that is constantly evolving and has the goal of advanced development of the personality and training a specialist who would be able to function effectively in such a society. Innovative learning in higher education provides full or partial digitalization of the educational process. The advantages and disadvantages of traditional and innovative learning have been highlighted. The requirements for the implementation of innovation in the educational process of higher education institutions have been formulated. It has been proved that modern higher education should take into account the processes that carry innovative changes, including: the introduction of analytical and information and communication learning tools, computer technologies, the involvement of teachers and students in research activities. It has been found that the quality of the implementation of the innovation process is conditioned by its goals, methods and means, knowledge and abilities, lecturers' and students' interest in achieving good results. In order for innovative learning to be truly innovative, a modern teacher of a higher education institution should have effective modern means of transferring knowledge and skills to students; organizational skills to plan and implement pedagogical impact; the ability to establish proper relationships with students, to organize and direct their activities; the ability to persuade; possess profound knowledge not only in his subject area, but also have a broad erudition. Acquiring a high level of professional qualification is a long and difficult process. The article concludes by stating the need to find an optimal balance between traditional and innovative learning, rational use of the advantages of each of them, based on the realities of each particular university.
