Introduction. Today, one of the criteria for assessing the quality of education is the opinion of students about educational services. Undergraduates enrolled in distance learning programs represent a specific student audience. Features of this category form a social portrait that has the information potential for organizing an effective educational process adapted to the “target audience”. Methodology and sources. In the academic year 2018–2019, the author conducted an empirical case study through an anonymous online survey of graduate students of the correspondence department of the first year of study. Results and discussion. As a result of the survey, respondents have received answers characterizing the peculiarities of their life, sociocultural environment, professional activity and factors of formation of motives of educational activity. The information obtained is presented in tables, which allowed to form a “numerical” outline of the social portrait of an extramural student. The result of an empirical study was a description of the collective image of a student studying in absentia in a magistracy. Active professional activity, focus on success, limited time resources, etc., determined the content of wishes for improving the conditions and process of educational activity. The main adjustments should relate to the effective planning of the educational process, methodological support of classroom and extracurricular activities, providing comfortable conditions for a long stay in an educational institution and communication with fellow students.Conclusion. The social portrait of students contains information about their typical representatives, the sociocultural environment of life.  Regular monitoring of the dynamics of socially significant characteristics of students allows you to quickly make adjustments that improve the quality of education.

The article deals with the problem of improving the quality of training future navigators according to the strategic goals of the modernization of the educational process in Ukraine’s marine higher educational institutions, based on the humanistic paradigm, which requires special attention to the formation of future navigators’ communicative self-efficiency. The study of this problem is of particular relevance, since it is one of the main professional characteristics for representatives of the senior command navigators that enables them to carry out professional activities productively, adequately and at a high level: to organize the coordinated work of the crew, especially consisting of specialists of different nationalities, religious denominations, mentalities; competently and skilfully communicate with seaport employees, representatives of foreign companies, etc. The paper presents the conceptual provisions of A. Bandura, the founder of the theory of self-efficiency, its role and importance in person’s life as well as those of J. Caprari and D. Servon, D. Matsumoto (communication), educators (self-efficiency), (communicative self-efficiency) in the context of importance and the need to develop and form these phenomena for improving the quality of the training aimed at future navigators in higher education institutions of maritime profile. The phenomenon “communicative self-efficiency of the future navigators” has been defined; its essence and structure have been considered, the latter consisting of three components: reflexive (self-identification with navigators as model professionals, the presence of adequate self-assessment of their own actions in the field of professional communication, a stable reflexive position), cognitive-operational (awareness of the communicative sphere of maritime professional activity, skills, professional communication abilities); affective-behavioural (confidence in the possibility of productive communication in professional activities, emotionality, activity, responsibility, ability to self-regulate and self-sustain). The forms and methods for the formation of communicative self-efficiency of cadets of marine universities involved into the experiment have been presented: reflective workshop, keeping a reflective diary, which gave the cadet the opportunity to conduct self-analysis of their own professional actions and enhance self-understanding regarding the presence of the necessary professional personal qualities for performing their future professional activities effectively and building a positive Self-concept of the future navigator; the organizing dialogue “The role of the reflective component in developing future navigators’ communicative self-efficiency”, the technology “Developing confidence in self-efficiency and productive communication of future navigators in their future independent professional activities”, the training module “Communication skills”, etc. Keywords: communication, self-efficiency, communicative self-efficiency, future navigator, marine higher educational institution.

The need to specify the types and forms of communication between the subjects of the educational process in the university is becoming acute. In the current situation and the challenges to institutions of higher education, among them - requirements for quality of training, a change in the students, the competition of universities, the implementation of the educational process in the new, rapidly changing environment; acquiring new personal current practices underutilized in education. This practice is network communication. The universality of interaction, the multiplicity, the diversity of levels, the extreme complexity of representation, put forward problems becomes important. Today, in the social world, interaction acquires special, new characteristics due to the specifics of the interacting forces. And above all, when the bearer of these forces is the person himself, the social subject acting and projecting his own actions. The research studies consider the technologies of interaction of students at different stages of professional development. Therefore, the problem of involving students in new educational and social practices on the basis of network interaction resources – resources used in everyday life-is becoming more relevant. To build an individual trajectory of professional development in the Samara region, an information and communication system "Student and Trud" is being developed, which will become a resource for networking between students and leading enterprises of the Samara region.

The aim of this article is, firstly, an analysis of numerous deficiencies and the consequences of the educational process generated congestion programs, books, calendar and lesson plans, as well as the immense amount of homework; Secondly, modeling of normalized learning process, which is entirely possible to achieve high quality education based on successful implementation of the principle of availability of learning and teaching of all other principles. In this regard, the most obvious abnormal congestion is stated for the seniors immense amount of homework that is incompatible with the principle of accessibility of education and school hygiene requirements. It is noted also that studies of many local authors found negative effects of abnormally overloaded amount of homework. However, numerous studies have concluded less obvious, but the most dangerous  overloading  of  school  curricula  and  textbooks.  Appeal  to  the  measurement  of  educational  overloads  done  by V. P. Bespalko shows that students are forced to use mathematics textbooks, whose congestion contains between 5-fold to 20- fold. Effectiveness in study for many students with these textbooks V. P. Bespalko describes the term "zero success." It is ascertained spread of zero (ie, disastrous) the level of success of the quality of education in mathematics, physics and chemistry. It is shown that abnormal overload programs and textbooks causes long chain of  other anomalous phenomena in the educational process such as the loss of the opportunity to implement the principle of availability, training and all other didactic principles; distribution of zero-level retention on the quality of education in mathematics, physics and chemistry; the loss of students’ desire to learn, that paralyzes the assimilation education content; mechanical memorization of educational material; the forced nature of the training activity of the students and the teacher's position occasioned by the authoritarian it; school boredom,  indiscipline,  but  teaching  students,  which  in  turn  becomes  the  cause  of  the  juvenile;  application  of  teachers antipedagogical means of maintaining discipline; catastrophically high incidence of students. This circuit anomalies learning process does not end there. Its sequel is the subjects of individual research.The standardization of the educational process is considered as the maximum possible elimination of educational and all other overloads generated by their anomalies. It is shown that strong guidance for implementing learning is normalized in the pedagogical heritage of J. A. Comenius, A. Distervega, practical experience in solving the problem of eliminating congestion educational (Frohlich school, modern educational reforms in Singapore). In this regard, it also emphasizes the relevance of the concept of structuralism, sponsored by the famous Polish dydakt K. Sosnitskii.

Introduction. The article for the first time structures the types of additional responsibilities of teachers, not underpinned by local regulations. The proposals for debureaucratization of the educational process in secondary schools are generalized. The aim of the study is to reveal the impact of bureaucratic burden on the social feeling of teachers of general secondary education facilities, the quality of their professional activities and to develop proposals for debureaucratization of teachers’ work. Materials and Methods. A survey of managers and teachers of educational institutions covered more than 3,000 respondents. As additional sources for the interpretation of the data, we used the methods of group interviews (two focus groups conducted among rural teachers), as well as a secondary analysis of data from the international study of the educational environment and working conditions of secondary school teachers (TALIS), conducted in 48 countries, including Russia. Results. The study broadened the idea of the impact of bureaucratization of the education system on the quality of professional activity and the social well-being of teachers. Intensification of bureaucratization of teacher work is attributed, on the one hand, to the extensive growth of additional types of work, and on the other, to the low legal awareness of teachers of educational institutions. Working with reporting documentation takes up to 90 % of the working time free from paid teaching ho urs, which practically does not leave time for the implementation of part of the pedagogical load associated with methodological, organizational and consulting activities. The study identifies activities that, according to respondents, contribute to the debureaucratization of teachers’ work. Discussion and Conclusion. The article is of interest to teachers and heads of educational organizations, regional educational authorities, and scientists, researching i nto educational problems.
