Distant education has become a stable form implementing higher education. Advantages and disadvantages of this distant education form have been discussed since the form was introduced. Interactivity with a strong visual component, effective communication in various combinations – one on one, duet, group – and active learning with informative, moral, institutional support from the very beginning have been declared as one of the greatest benefits distant education. But today we are already talking about interactivity’s deficiencies, how we return to the problem of routine one-way education. There is a reason why there are regular studies in distant education research on contact forms becoming more favorable than distant forms, as they are chosen by students more frequently. The time, we enjoy in digital opportunity studies, already shown a number of stereotypes about e-studies, among which, the college highlights the following: e-studies resembled boring self-learning process with static study materials and monotonous video recordings due to lack of usual lecture form, where the lecturer meets with the group, help them with study materials; there was a lack of lectures where you can meet fellow students, exchange views and work in groups.

Переход на дистанционное обучение в условиях пандемии и изменения технологической сферы не только влекут за собой изменение ценностных ориентаций общества, но и оказали непосредственное влияние на процессы в образовательной сфере. Преподаватель находится в постоянном режиме «инновационного поиска», связанного с изменением подходов к построению образовательного процесса. Создание реальных и воображаемых ситуаций общения на уроке русского языка с применением различных методов и приемов работ (ролевые игры, дискуссии, проекты и др.) посредством использования видео на уроке русского языка в настоящее время является неотъемлемой частью образовательного процесса и настоящим подспорьем в работе преподавателя. Цель данной работы – обобщить и представить опыт работы по применению ролевых игр «Экскурсия» и телепередача «Все о России» в интеграции (в данном образовательном «поле»), построенных на основной теме и поэтапного деления предлагаемого видеоматериала, способствующих повышению качества обучения и интереса к изучению предмета, обучающих естественной коммуникации, позволяющих активизировать студентов в процессе освоения русского языка и побуждающих к совершенствованию своих коммуникативных умений, расширению, углублению профессиональных знаний и обогащению их языкового запаса и страноведческих знаний. Мы выяснили, что применение интерактивного метода ролевой игры и различных средств ИКТ (информационно-коммуникационные технологии) способствуют не только повышению интереса к изучению языка, но и создают иллюзию участия в реальной жизни страны изучаемого языка, а это в свою очередь повышает мотивацию студентов, обеспечивает непосредственное восприятие и изучение культуры России, связывает занятие с реальным миром, стимулирующее почти подлинную коммуникацию.

Introduction. The modern development of information and communication technologiesand the current epidemiological situation have led to the widespread use of distance educational technologies. The article presents the results of a statistical analysis of the data obtained during the hygienic assessment of the characteristics of the lifestyle and activity of students in the period of active introduction of forms and methods of distance education.Material and methods. An online survey of 498 students in 2019 during the period of traditional education and 1587 students in April 2020 during the implementation of the educational process in the distance format was conducted. The coordinator of the work was the Department of Hygiene of the Pediatric Faculty of the N.I. Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University, Moscow.Results. The obtained data allows talking about the negative impact of electronic devices on the lifestyle of students. A significant increase in the time of the use of gadgets (almost twice) and their number (2-4) when transferring the educational process to a remote format is proved. In general, the use of stationary and mobile electronic devices in more than 50% of respondents amounted to five hours or more. A decrease in the quality characteristics of the lifestyle of students in higher education during the transition to distant education has been established, while more than a third of them do not realize this. As risk factors, a decrease in motor activity, visual impairment, neuropsychic stress, poor nutrition, etc. In the absence of direct contact with university teachers, the opportunities for creating healthy lifestyle skills within the university are reduced and the importance of teachers as an authoritarian influence and a personal example for students is reduced.Conclusion. Informatization and the introduction of distance learning technologies in the higher education system require comprehensive studies of the advantages and disadvantages of such a learning format. The forced mass introduction of distance learning technologies in the educational process has exposed many problems that have not yet been given sufficient attention and, in the future, they can become the basis for promising research in the field of educational hygiene. The results obtained suggest that modern students do not pay enough attention to their lifestyle in the period of the distant education.

In this paper, I will illustrate the changing nature and complexity of faculty employment in college and university settings. I will use existing higher education research to describe changes in faculty demographics, the escalating demands placed on faculty in the work setting, and challenges that confront professors seeking tenure or administrative advancement. Boyer’s (1990) framework for bringing traditionally marginalized and neglected functions of teaching, service, and community engagement into scholarship is examined as a model for balancing not only teaching, research, and service, but also work with everyday life.

The article discusses the current state of professional training of engineers, in particular, electronics engineers in Ukrainian higher education institutions (HEIs) and explores best practices from US HEIs. The research outlines the features of professional training of electronics engineers and recent changes in Ukrainian HEIs. Such challenges for Ukrainian HEIs as lack of collaboration between higher education and science with industry, R&D cost reduction for HEIs, and downsizing the research and academic staff, the disparity between the available quality of human capital training and the demanded are addressed. The study attempts to identify successful practices of US HEIs professional training of engineers in order to suggest potential improvements in education, research, and innovation for training electronics engineers in Ukraine.

This article reviews recent research related to the study of college student retention, specifically examining research related to individual student demographic characteristics. The increasing diversity of undergraduate college students requires a new, thorough examination of those student variables previously understood to predict retention. The retention literature focuses on research conducted after 1990 and emphasizes the changing demographics in higher education. Research related to a relatively new variable —the merit-index—also is reviewed, revealing potentially promising, but currently mixed results.
