The purpose of the article is to study the experience of developing and implementing an informationresource to improve the adaptation of first-year students to study in higher education. The methodology is toapply general scientific methods of analysis, generalization, systematization, and comparison, which allowedto develop of a hierarchical structure of the process of adaptation of first-year students in the educationaland social environment of higher education to design and fill information resources for student interactionwith departments university (for example, Lviv Polytechnic National University). The scientific novelty is theexpansion of theoretical knowledge and practical skills to create an information resource that will help studentsfind the necessary and useful information to facilitate its adaptation. Conclusions. Creating an interactiveinformation space for the adaptation of first-year students provides an opportunity to ensure the successfuladaptation of students to new challenges in their lives. The management of higher education institutions isinterested in the fastest possible educational, scientific, creative, sports, and social adaptation of students.The proposed hierarchical structure will determine the main directions of adaptation of students dependingon the peculiarities of the organization of student life in higher education. Each direction of adaptationcontains its own sub-goals, which detail the activities in this direction. Achieving the mentioned sub-goals isensured by appropriate means and recommendations. The offered information resource will allow to carry outinformation support of the student in the course of its adaptation. This resource will greatly simplify the searchfor the necessary information for educational, scientific, creative, and social activities of the student, help inorganizing independent work, and provide feedback to the first-year student with the structural units of highereducation.Keywords: adaptation, an adaptation of freshmen, an institution of higher education, informationeducational space, social adaptation, psychological adaptation, freshmen.

Academic Adaptation

This study aims at recognizing the level of social and psychological adaptation and its connection with the students of An-Najah National University in Nablus governorate in light of the background variables. Also, it seeks to clarify the correlational relations between social, psychological and academic adaptation and identity ranks. In order to achieve the aims of the study, a sample of (280) students from An-Najah National University is chosen. The consistency and validity of the tools of the study are verified. Results have shown their validity as it follows the correlational and descriptive methods. The following are the results of the study: 1- There are positive statistical relations between psychological and social adaptation and identity ranks of stopping, closure and dispersion. However, there isn’t any statistical relation between identity achievement and social and psychological adaptation. 2- There are statistical differences in the ranks of identity of the variable of scholastic year or place of residence or economic level. Besides, there are statistical differences in the averages of identity stopping and closure due to the variable of scholastic year. 3- There are differences in the average of stopping identity in the first year and the second, third and fourth year students in favor of the first year students. The source of the differences in the average of identity closure is between the first year students and the second and third year students in favor of the first year students. 4- There are statistical differences in the averages of achieving closure identity due to place of residence that the differences in the averages of achieving identity among camp citizens in the cities and villages in favor of camps citizens due to closing their identity between the citizens of the cities and villages in favor of the dwellers of the village. 5- There are statistical differences in the averages in the ranks of identity due to the economic level. Also, there are statistical differences among the averages of the social and psychological adaptation due to the variable of the scholastic year that they are between the first year students and the second and third year students in favor of the first year students. 6- All the hypotheses of the study are refuted except for two, namely: there are statistical differences in the rank of identity due to the variables of scholastic year and place of residence. The second is that there are statistical differences in the social and psychological adaptation due to the variable of scholastic year. In light of these results, the researcher recommends offering guidance programs highlighting ranks of the identity of students for its positive and effective impact in achieving their goals and changing their course of life by achieving their psychological, social and academic adaptation.

Many Japanese private higher education institutions also face a risk of falling into the "losing group." It seems that small/rural colleges end up receiving less extra income from admissions over the tei-in (the quota for first-year students) level. This loss creates less scholarship money for capable students. The small/rural institutions are likely to lose prospective students as a negative cycle works against them. This tendency, in turn, augments the opportunities available to large, metropolitan higher education institutions. In Japan, a clear division is anticipated, with the larger institutions getting much larger and the smaller and rural ones getting much smaller. This is a hard fact that we will face in the foreseeable future.

The physical education system of the students with chronic diseases, health disorders, congenital anomalies, and low level of physical development and physical fitness, does not sufficiently address efficiency restoration and ensuring normal life. The analysis of literature sources actualized the problem and conclusively proved the need for a comprehensive, systematic study of the health of young students. The aim of the study: to monitor the number of students with health disorders at higher education institutions. The research methods: literary, conceptual and comparative analysis; the analysis of the medical examination of students; pedagogical observation; statistical methods. The object of observation was the students of higher education institutions of a special medical group in the amount of 867 people. Studies conducted for a long time in the educational institution "PolesU", confirmed the superiority of cardiovascular diseases among other pathologies (22.15%). In the 2014/2015 academic year, diseases were recorded in 26.51% of students of the special medical group. The reduction in the number of students enrolled in SMG by the third year indicates that due attention is being paid to correcting their physical condition and improving their health. The largest number of students among those classified by health status as a special medical group was the first-year students.

The current research aims to summarize the features of school education in rural areas in Ukraine and to establish their potential influence on students' academic and socio-psychological adaptation to a new learning and living environment. Small number of students in class, poor material and technical condition, limited opportunities for self-realization, low motivation to study etc. are distinguished as the basic peculiarities of Ukrainian rural schools. The authors’ mini-questionnaire revealed that 62% of the first-year students of rural origin from a local Bohdan Khmelnytsky National University at Cherkasy experience hardships during adaptation. Challenges faced by 270 first-year students are described: personal, educational, living conditions, psychological, communicative, relationships in the group. The outcomes of the study convince that students of rural origin encounter additional challenges adjusting to changed living conditions while studying in universities in contrast to students from urban and suburban areas. Recommendations are provided to assist rural school counselors in preparing students for their further adaptation at large colleges and universities. Directions of work of psychological service, counsellors and educators in higher education institutions are displayed: individual counseling for the student, development and implementation of special training programs, integration of individual classes into training programs.

In the last years, the Integrated Master in Mechanical Engineering (MIEM) at FEUP revealed a very high capability for attracting young students. However, the true reasons that determine the interest of the students in the Mechanical Engineering cycle of studies (CS) are not well understood. This paper tries to shed light on this question. A survey was prepared and applied to the first year students enrolled on MIEM in 2020-2021. The responses were analyzed statistically and organized comprehensively. The results show that the opinions of others, the quality and availability of information, the versatility and employability rates of the CS, the quality of training and the reputation of the HEI/CS are crucial. The findings can be further explored by the FEUP/CS decision makers to delineate policies envisaging strengthening the ability of Mechanical Engineering to compete for the best potential candidates to higher education. Indeed, the higher education institutions are aware that they have to fight for students in the global recruitment market and be more proactive than they used in the past.
