The reform of higher education continues in Ukraine more than a year; however it does not pay much attention to the changes in the teaching of philosophy.  In the article the author investigates different technologies of the problem-based teaching of philosophy and its methods, substantiates the necessity of introducing such technologies in the teaching of philosophy and also shows the specifics of the application of such technologies during the teaching of philosophy at the Lviv National Polytechnic University. Any problem-based education is searching and cognition of unknown. It is based on mental, volitional, and emotional activity, but, above all, it requires to be interested in the subject of study. The author stresses that problem-based education can be practiced in small student groups, which have the sufficient level of interest and motivation to study philosophy. Also, the author introduces his own classification of problem solving tasks in teaching of philosophy, which will help to apply educational material in accordance with the level of students, for example: 1) problematic situations that contribute to the formulation of new concepts (they help to generalize all previous knowledge and extract  from it a new one); 2) historical and philosophical problematic situations - these are situations based on historical and philosophical material, when students compare the solution of some philosophical problem in the philosophy of a certain epoch, compare the approaches of different philosophers; 3) developmental problematic situations which help students to understand the logic of defining some philosophical concept, to understand one or another philosopher and his methods of creating concepts.

An important component of correcting students' learning outcomes in mathematics is to eliminate errors and gaps in their knowledge and skills. The analysis of scientific research has allowed to identify the approaches to studying students' mathematical errors and to carry out their group distribution (into the corresponding sections of the program, in accordance with the certain types of educational activities, due to external circumstances of their detection, the peculiarities of psychological activity of students, causes of occurrence). The main causes of mathematical errors made by students that was discovered during the research are psychological, methodological, and other specific causes, conditioned by the peculiarities of mathematics as an educational subject. In the process of development of methods for correcting the results of students' training in mathematics, the classification of errors as situational and systemic was taken into account. Situational errors indicate students' lack of knowledge of particular facts or inability to perform particular operations, while system errors indicate significant gaps in the knowledge and skills of students, lack of understanding of general methods of working with mathematical objects or the lack of a general vision of the educational material. Methods and means of correction were defined and clustered into 4 groups according to the situation and the subject of correction. The article reviews didactic models of basic mathematics lessons in the context of correction of students' knowledge and skills. The characteristics of each lesson contain a detailed description of the main didactic characteristics of the type of correction, adapted to the specifics of teaching mathematics.

Educational Escape Room is an innovative method used in classrooms to motivate students. This article describes a version of Educational Escape Room applied to undergraduate students. Specifically, this work presents an adaptation of the method called Educational Hall Escape, characterized by the resolution of challenges in a game-adapted room in which several student groups compete to finish the activity in the least amount of time. To date, the Educational Hall Escape method applied to the field of business economy has not been reported in the literature. The objective of the study is to analyze the influence of the Educational Hall Escape method on the learning processes and emotions of students during the activity and its impact on their motivation and the reinforcement their competences and knowledge. An experiment was designed in which the class was divided into a control group and an experimental group. To measure the impact of the experience in the students, two tools were used: an exam and the Gamefulquest survey. Despite the fact that the results obtained show that the students perceived the experience as a game, it improved their motivation and increased their proclivity to have an emotional bond with the subject, the academic results remained steady.

The classification of knowledge of a specified subject area is an actual task. The well-known methods of obtaining decision trees using entropy are not suitable for the classification of the subject area knowledge. So, a new algorithm of obtaining decision trees, whose way of obtaining is approximated to the natural intelligence, is suggested in the article. Here, the knowledge of a subject area is presented as a complex of answers to questions, which help to find the solution to a current task. The connection of entropy with the appearance of knowledge, the classification of previous knowledge, and the definitions used in decision trees are also analyzed in the article. The latter is necessary to compare the suggested algorithm approximated to the natural intelligence with the traditional method, using a small example. The article contains the analysis of solving a classification task for such a subject area as optimization methods.

This paper focuses on the understanding of service quality in the context of Vietnamese universities. It proposes an approach for measuring the quality of the higher education service provided by universities in Vietnam. Firstly, an exploratory study was conducted. Then, the set of items which were generated became the subject of a questionnaire that was then administered to 675 students of a Vietnamese university to determine the dimensions of higher education service quality in this context. The obtained results permit us to appropriate a measurement scale which is slightly different from the SERVQUAL scale widely known as the standard for measuring service quality. The results also show that tangible elements, responsiveness and assurance seem to be three specific dimensions of the higher education service of Vietnamese universities.

This given article reveals the topicality not only of destructive, but also of constructive, as well as hybrid conflicts. Practically it has been done for the first time. It also describes the history of the formation of both foreign and domestic social conflictology. At the same time, the chronology of the development of the latter is restored and presented objectively, in full, taking into account the contribution of those researchers who actually stood at its origins. The article deals with the essence of the socio-psychological approach to understanding conflicts. The subject of social conflictology includes the regularities of their occurrence and manifestation at various levels, spheres and conditions, including normal, complicated and extreme ones. Social conflictology includes the theory and practice of diagnosing, resolving, and resolving social conflicts. It analyzes the difficulties that occur in defining the concept, structure, dynamics, and classification of social conflicts. Therefore, it is no accident that the most important task is to create a full-fledged theory of social conflicts. Without this, it is impossible to talk about effective settlement and resolution of social conflicts. Social conflictology is an integral part of conflictology. There is still a lot of work to be done, both in theory and in application, for its complete design. At present, there is an urgent need to develop conflict-related competence not only of professionals, but also for various groups of the population.

Intensive English programs (IEPs) exist as an additional pathway into higher education for international students who need additional language support before full matriculation. Despite their long history in higher education, there is little research on the effectiveness of these programs. The current research examines the effectiveness of an IEP by comparing IEP students to directly-admitted international students. Results from regression models on first-semester and first-year GPA indicated no significant differences between these two student groups. Follow-up equivalence testing indicated statistical equivalence in several cases. The findings lead to the conclusion that the IEP is effective in helping students perform on par with directly-admitted international students. These findings imply further support for IEPs and alterative pathways to direct admission.
