The JLSM has various possible manifestations, but most forms of the model include three key elements – collaborative planning of one or more lessons that will be taught by all participants, delivery of the lesson with fellow teacher observers in the room or with videotaping, and collaborative analysis by participants of students work and the lesson delivery. This study presents quantitative and qualitative data from approximately 400 teachers who participated in a form of lesson study. The history and research basis of lesson study is presented, followed by the researcher's adaptation of the model for use in the university classroom and professional development courses, followed by an analysis of the impacts of the model on teacher participants.

В статье рассматривается креативность как важный фактор в формировании профессионализма у сотрудников сферы индустрии моды и красоты (на примере дизайнеров и парикмахеров-стилистов). В современной жизни им приходится постоянно развиваться. Творческое отношение к работе и стремление к новому помогают им оставаться востребованными и реализованными в профессии, поэтому изучение различных характеристик креативности актуально для профессиональной самореализации и оценки продуктивности профессиональной деятельности представителей данной сферы. Авторами с помощью тестовых методик и контент-анализа проведено исследование креативности и успешности профессиональной деятельности специалистов в сфере индустрии моды и красоты, результаты которого подтвердили гипотезу о существовании прямой связи между ними, в частности между различными переменными их креативности и количеством клиентов, подписчиков в социальной сети Instagram, успешностью в конкурсах профессионального мастерства и разнообразием предлагаемых услуг. При этом обнаружено, что у дизайнеров более высокие показатели оригинальности, воображения, беглости мышления, склонности к решению сложных задач, творческого отношения к профессии, а у парикмахеров-стилистов более развиты интуиция и эмоциональность, хотя гибкость мышления, оценка любознательности и чувства юмора у представителей обеих профессий одинаковы. Кроме того, у дизайнеров прямо связаны показатели любознательности, сложности, воображения и количество клиентов; гибкость, оригинальность, чувство юмора и количество подписчиков в социальных сетях; гибкость, оригинальность, интуиция и количество конкурсов, в которых они участвовали, в то время как у парикмахеров-стилистов — оригинальность, сложность, воображение, беглость мышления, склонность к риску и количество клиентов, а также подписчиков в социальных сетях. Результаты данного исследования могут быть использованы для совершенствования системы деятельности индустрии моды и красоты, повышения конкурентоспособности специалистов данной сферы, а также для развития креативности представителей творческих профессий. Дальнейшие перспективы исследований связаны со сравнением потенциала креативности представителей разных специальностей и определением взаимосвязей между их личностными особенностями и проявлениями креативности. The article treats creativity as an important factor promoting the formation of professionalism in workers of the fashion and beauty industry (at the example of designers and hair-stylists). Modern fashion and beauty experts have to be constantly improving their knowledge and skills. Their creative attitude to work and their endeavor to learn enable them to stay in demand and be successful in their work. Therefore, it is essential that they should study various characteristics of creativity as an integral part of professional self-actualization that will ensure success in their professional endeavors. The authors of the article use test methods and content analysis to investigate creativity and professional success in fashion and beauty workers and to prove the hypothesis that creativity is an essential component of success. The investigation shows that creative fashion and beauty industry workers have more clients, more followers in social networks, are more successful in professional contests, provide a larger spectrum of services. The investigation also shows that designers are more ingenious, imaginative, quick-witted, and capable of solving difficult tasks, they work creatively. Hair-stylists, on the other hand, are more intuitive and emotional. Both designers and hair-stylists are flexible, curious and have a good sense of humor. Moreover, the more curious, creative and imaginative designers are, the more clients they have. Their flexibility, ingenuity and sense of humor predetermine the number of their followers in social networks. Flexible, intuitive and ingenious designers take part in a larger number of professional contests. It should also be mentioned that hair-stylists who are ingenious, creative, imaginative, quick-witted and willing to risk have more clients and followers in social networks. The results of the research can be used to improve the situation in the fashion and beauty industry and can help improve fashion and beauty workers’ competitive ability and creativity. The perspectives for further research are associated with a comparative study of creativity in specialists of different fields and with the examination of the relationship between personality characteristics and creativity.

Professional training of orchestra conductors is traditionally aimed at performing primarily educational and creative tasks. At the same time, the inner world of a conductor as a leader of the ensemble still needs deeper study. In particular, formation of the conductor’s professional competence will not be effective without necessary personal qualities, self-awareness, self-concept, which involves a total reflection of his activities. The phenomenon of the orchestra conductor’s self-concept is presented not only as a set of ideas and attitudes towards oneself, which has certain characteristics, but also as a subject, which is entrusted with cultural and aesthetic professional responsibilities. The study of the self-concept will facilitate understanding the regulation and management of the internal process in the professional activities of the orchestra conductor. The study relevant because it can reorient the purpose of the educational process from the formation of knowledge, skills and abilities to a broad understanding of the multifunctionality of future conducting and orchestral activities.

Considering the external and internal challenges, including accession of Ukraine to the European Higher Education Area and the European Research Area, the adoption of the Laws of Ukraine «On Education» (2017), «On Scientific and Technical Activities» (2016), «On Higher Education» (2014) the systematic reforming higher education began. One of the directions of reforming higher education is to increase the requirements for the professional level of scientific and pedagogical workers, since only a highly qualified specialist is able to provide a high level of training for the applicants for higher education and, accordingly, to prepare a competitive specialist. The article is aimed to identify the tools for students to evaluate the professional activities carried out by the scientific and pedagogical workers in foreign and domestic higher education institutions. To achieve the aim and solve the set tasks, we used a complex of methods of scientific research: theoretical analysis of academic literature - to clarify the achievements of the scientists on a particular topic of research; structural and system analysis - to identify the tools of evaluation used by the students to assess professional activity of scientific and pedagogical workers of foreign and domestic higher education institutions; comparative method - to carry out a comparative analysis of the content of domestic and foreign instruments for evaluating the professional activities carried out by scientific and pedagogical workers. Summarizing the results of the study indicates that there is a positive experience in the market economies, including the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States of America (USA) regarding the involvement of students in evaluating the professional performance of teaching staff. The reasonability of engaging students in evaluating the professional work of students' teaching staff is primarily due to the fact that they most often contact with the teaching staff and they are the direct consumers of their services. Based on an analysis of the best university practices in the UK, Australia, and the United States for assessing students' professional work and their personal qualities, it has been established that the main tools are: an online assessment system; student ratings; feedback from students to improve teaching and learning, including student letters prepared from the whole group or course; feedback from alumni (including masters and PhD students, as well as graduate assistants) and more. The analysis of domestic practices showed that instruments such as anonymous questionnaires and student rankings are mostly used to evaluate the professional activities of academic staff of higher education institutions and their personal qualities. The introduction of foreign experience of the use of various tools for assessing the professional activities of the scientific and pedagogical workers in domestic higher education institutions will contribute to the self-reflection of their own professional activities, the development of a trajectory of professional development focused on the areas that require professional development and improvement of quality.
