The article reveals some unresolved issues concerning the processes of planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating university education in modern conditions. The purpose of the study is to clarify what oppositions are currently being maintained, and what needs to be done to address problematic situations. Among the oppositions identified by the author, there are oppositions between the standardization and unification of education, which are opposed by the autonomy of universities and the individualization of the learning process; between thread-group organization of educational process, characteristic of the traditional system of higher education, and building of individual educational trajectory; between pedagogue-centered and student-centered paradigms of higher education; between the traditional system of education (teaching) and electronic learning (e-learning), between the old system of assessing students based on the exams in specific disciplines, and the need to determine the level of formation of competences; between academic and scientific models ofpostgraduate school.The following research methods were implemented: a theoretical method (analysis of scientific literature, legislative and normative documents, teaching materials, internal local acts relating to the organization of the educational activities of the University), interpretation (comprehensive and systematic study of the object of study, comparing different objects of study among themselves, summarizing their theoretical and practical experience, etc.). In the study, based on the identified oppositions in the organization of the educational process at the University - standardization and unification of education, the conclusions were made about the need for thorough and comprehensive analysis of the existing management system of higher education and suggestions for its improvement and bringing into line not only with the requirements of legislative and normative documents regulating activity of the Russian universities, but also taking into account the interests of all the stakeholders interested in the learning outcomes and the preparation of competitive specialists.

The paper discusses the status of philosophy in the context of the increasing commercialization of higher education, which turns the university into a business. It shows that the neoliberal policy of the commercialization of higher education changes the structure of the educational process dramatically and brings humanism as an educational model inextricably linked with the development of humanitarian disciplines to the limit. In the era of capitalization of knowledge, the principle of utilitarianism becomes dominant. The paper gives reasons for the need to overcome the neoliberal tendency of the educational process dehumanization and return to humanitarian disciplines, which preserve the culture of human thinking in today’s world. The paper finds that the construction of the process of university education according to the being-in-place model actualizes thinking, which brings an individual back from the inertia of non-thinking existence. The paper describes specificity of philosophy as a practice of thinking and language which preserves the foundations of human existence and develops the hermeneutic type of thinking of an individual as “persona”. The hermeneutic type of thinking is focused on a person’s self-understanding of oneself as a personality. At the same time, it contributes to understanding the Other, a dialogue with whom opens up the opportunity not only to look at oneself in a different way, but also to understand the “point of view” of the Other, thereby opening up a different horizon of seeing the world in general.

The results of higher education are determined by normative documents and are based on the theory of competence approach. They refl ect the readiness of the future teacher to professional activities in the terms of inclusive education. Analytical verifi cation of various scientifi c sources makes it possible to assert that the essence of the various components of the methodological support of the learning process is the subject of scientifi c disputes. But it is worth noting that currently the researchers have not brought a single interpretation of such a concept as “methodological support”, which forces for their own understanding of this designation to refer to it. Methodological support is mainly singled out not just as a pedagogical component, but also as an integral part of the whole educational process. It is characterized by the volume and content of the working programs of disciplines, provides organizational and pedagogical conditions necessary for the formation of the educational environment of the University readiness of future teachers for inclusion. Properly selected and implemented in full methodological support of any process makes it guaranteed to be effective.

The paper substantiates the need for the formation of a logical and algorithmic culture of students, which contributes to the conscious perception of educational material, which is adequate to modern school and university education in order to instill information and computer literacy in the younger generation. Teaching students to generalize, systematize, apply logical knowledge in a new situation, transfer the acquired knowledge from one subject to another is one of the main tasks of a modern school. At the same time, the logical and algorithmic level of their assimilation provides such a quality of knowledge as completeness and effectiveness, i.e. the student can list all the leading elements of knowledge, define each of them, characterize their main features, and also perform tasks on the topic using the acquired knowledge and skills. The generalization of the practical experience of the organization of the educational process allowed us to offer methodological recommendations for the organization of the formation of the logical and algorithmic culture of students on the basis of interdisciplinary connections in the process of teaching natural science disciplines. In the article, this technique is implemented with the help of one of the new forms of organization of classroom work at the university – complex seminars. The plans of conducting complex seminars on the topics "Harmonic oscillations" and "Integral and its application in physics" are given.

In recent years, providing higher education in the form of work-based learning has become more important in the higher education (HE) policy and practice almost in all EU countries. Work-based learning (WBL) in HE should support the development of competences of self-guided learners and adjust the university education better to the needs of the workplace. The study is based on two pilot projects of WBL in HE in Estonia: Tourism and Restaurant Management professional HE programme and the master’s programme in Business Information Technology. The model of integrative pedagogy, based on the social-constructivist learning theory, is taken as a theoretical foundation for the study. A qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews with the target groups. The data analysis used a horizontal analysis to find cross-cutting themes and identify patterns of actions and connections. It appears, that the challenge for HE is to create better cooperation among stakeholders; the challenge for workplaces is connected with better involvement of students; the challenge for students is to take more initiative and responsibility in communication with workplaces.
