The author has analyzed the problem aspects of public administration of educational change in modern Ukraine. Special frameworks of public administration of educational change in an information society have been determined. The author has analyzed the categories of the implementation process of educational change. The author has explored the key features of external environment of such activity, formed by regulatory acts for settling relations in a particular area. The author has highlighted a set of contradictions of public management of educational change and recommendations for state agencies regarding the organization of an effective process of implementation of educational change as a social and political process with an emphasis on peculiar properties of the educational change. It is determined that the updated legal and regulatory framework of the educational sector, at the same time, extends the scope of professional freedom of teaching and, hence, sets high requirements for the professionalism of teachers. The change in the focus of educational activity by innovations is declared in terms of practice, interactivity and functionality. The teacher will now create educational and training programs tailored to the needs of students and local communities, will create an open learning environment, taking into account the potential of the school and involving the partners in the educational process. However, it has been proved that the methods of active and problem-searching approach defined in the updated normative provision of education in Ukraine require appropriate conditions for the educational process. An active student becomes an active citizen; school, school environment and class become a micro-society. Like the society itself, the school environment is not devoid of conflicts or problem situations. It is in these conditions that students have the opportunity to learn to consciously identify their own interests and gain experience in civic activity.

The article discusses the materials of the sociological study of the educational environment of schools in the Krasnoyarsk region, conducted as part of the interregional research «Psychological comfort of education in modern rural school». Based on the theoretical analysis, the authors highlight two characteristics of the school environment, which have significant impact on the psychological health of schoolchildren and the success of education: tension and emotionality. The study found out quite serious differences in the assessment of the importance of educational parameters by different participants in the educational process: schoolchildren, parents and teachers. In general, all participants in the educational process highly appreciate the tension of the educational environment of schools; and there were no significant differences in the assessment of this parameter between rural and urban schools. According to the participants of the educational process, the school creates the necessary conditions for the development of different abilities of students, development of life skills. The emotional environment of the schools was also well received by all respondents. The most appreciated one is the potential for the development of educational activity, relationship with students, preservation of the personal dignity of students. However, many students note a high level of insecurity from the possible threat of insults, coercion to undesirable actions, from ill-will and insults from teachers and classmates. This requires the development of special measures to prevent bullying, improve the psychological culture of teachers, and design the educational environment of schools.

The article identifies the main starting points for modelling pedagogical technologies based on the activity approach, namely: understanding of pedagogical technology as a scientifically sound activity aimed at forming the personality of the learner during the educational process by means of certain educational material; interpretation of pedagogical modelling as a process of creating such a reflection of the educational process that could reproduce a pedagogical object or process and replace it; the result of pedagogical modelling are images, forms of objects of pedagogical design. These are the relevant documents: concepts, state educational standards, curricula and programs, lesson plans, algorithms for action in lessons, diagrams, tables, etc.; drawing up a model of pedagogical technology based on the activity approach is an algorithm of actions, which includes: determining the subject of activity of the teacher and the student, selection of means of their activity, determination of conditions of pedagogical process, establishment of activity results. The generalized algorithm of drawing up of pedagogical technology model on the basis of the activity approach is presented by such steps: definition of a subject of activity for the teacher and the student separately; selection of means of their activity of the teacher; drawing up the process of educational activity of the teacher and the cognitive process of the student; determining the conditions for this process and establishing the results of this activity. The technology of creating a model for the implementation of interdisciplinary links based on the activity approach is represented by two stages: the creation of a model of their content and a model of the implementation process. The result of modelling the content of interdisciplinary links is to set goals for the use of knowledge from one subject in the study of another. The result of modelling the process of realization of interdisciplinary connections is the integral knowledge of the object of study formed in the student.

In the context of the formation and development of information society in Ukraine, information and communication support for the educational space, which is one of the important factors for preparing a person of modern formation and effective development of the state, becomes of great importance. Modern information and communication technologies (ICT) are forcing society to take a new approach to understanding the role of information in the educational process, especially in the training of specialists in educational institutions. This is evidenced by the adoption of the new version of the Laws of Ukraine «On Education», «On Higher Education» and the processes of informatization of educational activities already carried out. In terms of the current state and prospects of the development of the educational informatization process, there are two main areas of its improvement: instrumental and technological, connected with the use of new opportunities of informatics and information technologies for improving the efficiency of the education system; meaningful, related to the formation of new content in the educational process itself. The success of the reform of the education system in Ukraine depends to a large extent on the effectiveness of public administration in the field. Among the main tasks of public administration in the educational space of Ukraine should be noted: the formation of scientific-theoretical and methodological base of information and communication support, improving the forms and means of implementation of public administration, determining the role and place of public administration in the regulation of modern educational processes. The purpose of the research is scientific-theoretical and theoretical-methodological substantiation and analysis of peculiarities of public administration in the sphere of information and communication support of educational space of Ukraine. Information and telecommunications technology is a generic term that describes the various methods, methods and algorithms for collecting, storing, processing, presenting and transmitting data. Public administration in the field of educational activity is carried out by the adoption of regulatory and individual management acts, the conclusion of administrative contracts and the implementation of appropriate organizational measures aimed at their implementation. The subject of public administration is a system represented by the synthesis of state and non-state institutes of public power, the main structural elements of which are, first, the executive authorities, and second, the executive bodies of local self-government. We formulate the main directions of public administration in the educational sphere of Ukraine. Among them are development of national, sectoral and regional information systems, networks and electronic resources, information-analytical systems of public authorities and local self-government bodies; organizational activities on information support of education; organizational and scientific and methodological support of testing of electronic means of educational process; creation of a bank of perspective pedagogical experience. For the successful implementation of these directions, it is important to effectively combine the components of public administration in the field of information and communication support of the educational sphere: the administrative and managerial component consists in the distribution of functions and powers between the bodies of public administration of education and the public; the choice of style, principles, methods of leadership and management of the education system; pedagogical component is to determine the purpose of functioning of the educational process (use of modern pedagogical concepts, technologies, methods and forms; the legal component provides for the strict adherence to the legal acts regulating the educational sector.

The article is dedicated to assessment and evaluation of the philosophical and aesthetic fundamentals of educator’s activity in the era of informational society. The set of fellow contradictions of the contemporary educational system is defined by the author: ultimate uncertainty of the major goal of the educational process alongside with the priorities of educational activity; professional overload of the teacher and lack of one’s attention in relation to the essence of the aesthetic and spiritual self- value of a child.Author of the article offers the effective approach towards addressing of the misbalance in relations between a pupil and modern school – by development of aesthetic intelligence of the educator. The aesthetic intelligence is defined by the scholar as the system-composing trait of an individual, which is mainly oriented on representation of the essential, emotional and spiritual, aesthetically-realized acceptance of the natural aesthetical individuality of a pupil by an educator. Additional emphasis in this context is put on the importance of the pupil’s individually-developed ability for emotionally sensed living of one’s school life.The conceptual basis of the phenomenon of aesthetic intelligence of an educator is investigated in the light of the paradigm of the pedagogics of good (as it is offered by Ivan Ziaziun). The conceptual analysis of the major approaches of Ivan Ziaziun in relation to defining of the major essence of aesthetical and substantial contents of the aesthetic feelings is conducted. The set of such feelings cerates the fertile background for the spiritual and aesthetic area of educator’s activity. In addition aesthetic feelings fulfill the logics of the pedagogical actions with their sense and in such manner, strengthen the power of such actions in the process of achievement of an excepted outcome from such educational activity.The aesthetic feelings create the background for the strong spiritual and intelligence-based relations between a Teacher and a Pupil. Actualization of the aesthetic both in the context of the educational process and in the process of formation of the aesthetic intelligence, has its step-by-step characteristics: aesthetic creates the background for finding the path to the soul of a pupil, supports aesthetic and emotional experience of all subjects of the educational process and funds the final success in the context of gaining the set of educational competences by a pupil. The knowledge base (informational awareness and related practical competences), which is gained by the pupil alongside with experiencing the aesthetic pleasure, its assessment and evaluation, feeling corresponding personal sensation, deep and engaging understanding etc., which takes its place in the school environment (characterized as psychologically comfortable and aesthetically-fulfilled one) has the further potential  of  achievement of the  effect  of desired replication  and updated emotional experience.

The digital transformation of the judiciary actualizes scientific problems of a managerial nature related to the search for more effective organizational forms of judicial activity in modern conditions. The purpose of the study is to justify the scientific concept of the organization of judicial activity, the content of which would make it possible to improve the processes of intrasystem management of the activities of the courts to achieve the goals of the formation of the information society and digital economy. The worldview and methodological basis were the work of scientists and the methods used by them in the analysis of the general theory of public management and public administration. The modern scientifically grounded concept of the organization of judicial activity is a system of guiding ideas that define, for a clearly defined perspective, the tasks, principles, directions and organizational and legal forms of public administration in the judicial sphere to achieve national goals. The content of this concept is an intra-system organizational and management activity, considered in two aspects: functional (goals, objectives, principles, directions, forms and means) and institutional (legal statuses, structure of the judicial organization, judicial self-government bodies, public service). It is argued that the intrasystem judicial management reveals the content of the analyzed concept. The authors, analyzing the terms «judicial management» and «judicial administration», consider them close, but not identical, the criterion for distinguishing them is the professionalization of subjects of organizational and managerial activity. The work defines the strategic goals of the judicial management, its main directions. The conclusion is substantiated that a new type of judicial organization will reflect its technological effectiveness and will result from the modification of its model: from the organization of judges and judicial personnel to the model of a unified organization of judges, court administrations and information systems. This organizational regularity will need to be taken into account in judicial reform plans.

This paper examines the socio-political process by which an ensemble of such calculative practices and techniques as accounting came to be developed, adopted, and justified within turn-of-the-century public administration. We are particularly concerned with examining the influence of John R. Commons and other early institutional economists during this Progressive era. Using primary and secondary archival materials, our purpose is to make three main contributions to the literature. First, the paper explores Commons' contribution to the debates over “value” which seems to be somewhat unique in that he explicitly recognized that there exists no unproblematic, intrinsic measure of value, but rather that it must be socially constituted as “reasonable” with reference to common law. To illustrate this point, this paper explores Commons' role in the historical development and implementation of rate of return regulation for utilities. Second, the paper describes the contradictory role accounting played during this period in ostensibly fostering administrative objectivity while accommodating a more pragmatic rhetoric of “realpolitik” in its development and deployment. The third contribution is to establish a linkage between current work in economics and accounting concerned with utility regulation and the debates of ninety years ago, noting that Commons' contribution has not been fully explored or recognized within the accounting literature.

In the early 1990s, the Central and Eastern European countries (CEE countries) saw the collapse of communist regimes and an unprecedented political and economic transformation that resulted in the establishment of democratic, law-governed states and market economies. Administrative reforms, which became an important milestone in this transformation, were considerably influenced both by administrative legacies predominant in the countries and by the Europeanization processes associated with their accession to the European Union. The administrative legacies, which combine elements of various traditions (e.g., German, Napoleonic, and Anglo-American) are still strongly affected by what is left of the communist era. Conversely, the impact of Europeanization processes on public administrations in CEE countries has proved to be much weaker than initially expected. The process of building a professional and apolitical civil service in CEE countries has been plagued by discontinuity and inconsistency, owing to the specific administrative culture of the region, the weakening pressure to modernize EU institutions, and the consequences of the 2008 financial crisis, as well as growing populist tendencies in the region. All these factors encouraged the belief that political control over public administration needs to be tightened in order for the effectiveness and quality of governance mechanisms to be improved. The quality of governance and public management varies widely across the CEE countries. What they have in common—at least to some extent—is the fairly high dynamics of change, including the reversal of the effects of previously implemented reforms. The latter factor may be interpreted as a search for country-specific reform paths, partly due to disappointment with the values and models prevailing in Western Europe, and somewhat as a consequence of growing populist tendencies in the region.
