The author of the article has presented the results of the analysis of national approaches to the implementation of vocational guidance work among young people for the selection of police specialties. On this basis the author has singled out problematic issues in each of the vocational guidance areas (professional information, professional counseling, professional selection and professional adaptation). A number of general problems of vocational guidance among young people has been considered. The author has emphasized the general and special shortcomings in the organization and conduction of vocational guidance in regard to professional choice in general and professions related to the service in the units of the National Police of Ukraine, in particular. The general shortcomings include both the peculiarities of the organization of vocational guidance (lack of a unified system of vocational guidance work, insufficient level of interaction between the participants in the process of vocational guidance, lack of an individual, differentiated and phased approach to each individual while implementing professional choice, etc.) and its content component (low level of awareness of children, parents and teachers regarding the existing social professional inquiry; improper attention to the motivational component of the profession selection, etc.). The special shortcomings include the following: lack of awareness among young people about the peculiarities of different specialties (an investigator, an employee of operational units, a district police officer, etc.); lack of opportunity to try themselves in different types of law enforcement activities within the framework of interaction, for example, between district police station, educational institution, school and parents; insufficient use of media opportunities to adequately cover various aspects of police activities. The author has emphasized the necessity of creating an effective strategy of vocational guidance and qualitative selection procedure, referral and enrollment of young people to higher educational institutions with specific learning conditions.

Adolescence involves significant developmental changes and challenges including heightened body image concerns. However, there is limited research on adaptive ways of responding to perceived threats to body image. This study uses body image flexibility, derived from contextual behavioral perspectives, and coping theories to explore young people’s responses to body image threats. High school and university students (12 male, 15 female) aged 12 to 24 years were recruited from educational institutions in a metropolitan area of Australia. Thematic analysis of semistructured interviews identified themes related to body image threats from internal and external sources. In response to these threats, young people reported coping by changing the content of, and how they related to, perceived threats, and seeking social support. In addition, young people viewed coping as a dynamic process that changed over time and across situations. Reported processes of attending to, and allowing, momentary negative experiences and connecting with other important life domains were consistent with body image flexibility. The coping context affected the selection of coping strategies, with body image flexibility facilitating more adaptive coping for some participants. Further investigation of contextual behavioral approaches, such as body image flexibility, could help to better understand and promote adaptive body image coping in youth.

The article focuses on the analysis of the main types of bullying that pedagogical workers suffer from, including typical features and predominant forms of bullying of victims, characteristics of victims, as well as offenders and the like. The purpose of the article is to highlight the problem of bullying of pedagogical workers in the educational environment as a social phenomenon. The author has carried out the analysis of the judicial practice of the Law on Counteracting Bullying for one year when considering cases and holding people administratively liable for committing bullying, as well as the identified shortcomings in fixing the evidence base by the police while holding the buller accountable. It turned out that teachers’ bullying in virtual space is actually the transfer of bullying outside the educational institution. The author has offered the measures regarding the procedure and the obligation to consolidate evidence by representatives of juvenile prevention units of the territorial units of the National Police of Ukraine, in accordance with the requirements of the current legislation, in the case of teachers contacting law enforcement agencies as victims of bullying and activities to create a safe educational environment in educational institutions.

Introduction. Volunteering is an effective tool for the development of society and a powerful personal development resource. However, ignoring the value content of volunteering in the mass organisation of volunteer youth associations reduces its ability to achieve social, economic, cultural and other altruistic goals. The formal approach to volunteering fails to meet either the public interest or the needs and expectations of young people. Participation in volunteering under the influence of external factors in case of unformed or controversial intrinsic motivation for this activity causes dissatisfaction with the work and termination of activities.Aim. On the basis of the value of volunteerism, the aim of the present publication is to identify and analyse the motivation for student volunteering.Methodology and research methods. The leading method of empirical research was the questionnaire survey among the members of volunteer organisations: schoolchildren, students of secondary specialised educational institutions and university students. The questionnaire was based on the theory of the motives of volunteering and their classification. The sample (N = 207) was formed using stratified random sampling. The quantitative research strategy included such tools as drawing up a portrait of a volunteer based on projective questions, using the method of unfinished sentences, the method of direct ranking of motives. The materials were processed in the programme Vortex 10.Results and scientific novelty. The study of the activity of volunteer associations existing on the basis of educational institutions indicates that such activity has become a compulsory type of extra-school work of students, which is veiled under volunteerism. Such “volunteering” is managed mainly through administration and is complied with the tasks of the educational institution. A typology of volunteering motives was formed, reflecting the subjective perceptions of young people. Comparison of the typology obtained with the declared motivation showed their consistency. When analysing the individual structure of motives, a predominance of focus on one’s own requests, rather than on social problems, was recorded. According to respondents’ answers, an “ideal type” of a volunteer is focused exclusively on altruistic values. An “ideal” leader of a volunteer organisation is characterised only as a manager. The key contradiction of youth volunteering is formed between its value essence as a free voluntary activity for the benefit of society and the predominance of egoistic motives for participation in it. The shift of emphasis in the motivation of young students to attitudes towards volunteering as a resource for personal development contributes to the growth of contradictions in real practice. The result of formalism, regulation and distortions in the reasons for volunteering is a disappointment in it. More than a third of volunteers leave volunteer associations due to loss or initial lack of internal motivation.Practical significance consists in scientific justification for the need to rethink and change the methods of volunteer management, taking into account its value components. The existing contradictions in the motivation of volunteers initiate the search for new approaches to the organisation of their selfless, socially significant work.

Despite being older and more pervasive than formal education, the history of nonformal and informal education is less fully examined by historians of education. This chapter explores the unique opportunities and challenges experienced by historians studying nonformal and informal education. The spectrum of nonformal and informal education is incredibly diverse and includes the set of all social institutions that serve to shape an individual’s knowledge and values. It spans museums and libraries, popular media, and even casual relationships between young people and more experienced members of their communities. The study of the history of nonformal and informal education brings to the fore ontological questions about educational history, including what counts as an educational institution, the differences between education and entertainment, and whether the same research methods that apply to the study of formal educational institutions can be applied to the study of their less formal counterparts.

Vocational guidance is intended to aid young people in choosing an occupation, preparing them for it, finding an opening in it, and building up a career of efficiency and success. It is apparent in Nigeria that young people are ill-prepared for entry into the world of work. They are inadequately oriented in educational institutions to the extent that they do not understand their own abilities, interest, and values. As a result of the failure of the educational system in helping the youths realise their potentialities, they prefer choosing high-level jobs or prestigious careers. The youths, being the future hope of a nation's development, require information that will make them take initiative and take decisions to solve problems and improve service and performance. This paper, therefore, examines the concepts of vocational guidance as well as empowerment against the backdrop of its significance for sustainable development. An attempt was also made to highlight the roles of a guidance counselor, that of parents and teachers in youth empowerment for national development. The government at all levels should focus on job creation and invest in the development of youths for them to exhibit their talents maximally for effective participation in democratic governance for sustainable development.

Few educational institutions have well maintained microscopes that facilitate the experience intended by the creators of their teaching texts. The cost of putting a high quality selection of the different types of microscopes at every educational institution for access by all students is prohibitive. The advent of the Internet and the rapid proliferation of computers at educational institutions offer the prospect for dramatic improvements in microscopy education.We present an Internet based digital microscopy system with unique features for education. We have developed a unified architecture for management and transmission of live and stored microscope data over the Internet. The system consists of a combination of software and hardware. The hardware includes a microscope with a motorized stage, focus, and optionally a motorized nosepiece. Standard off the shelf components for each of the items can be used so that the user is afforded great flexibility in utilizing available hardware. Image acquisition is done by attaching a video camera to the microscope. Both analog and digital video cameras are supported, although it should be noted that users have experienced outstanding results with relatively inexpensive analog cameras.

The article reviewe current issues in education in particular and in society in general, which are closely related and interdependent. It identifies the specific challenges that the European educational community has been trying to address over the last few years. These include the problem of bullying in educational institutions, early school leaving (drop out), possible social problems leading to bullying and early school leaving, and not a large percentage of young people completing school. Mechanisms and experience of solving these issues and challenges by different EU countries are revealed. The article provides specific examples of the manifestation of the trend of humanization in the educational sphere. Awareness of the subject by the teacher, the ability to recognize and master the techniques of intervention, but also a better conscious approach to the prevention of bullying should have a modern humanist teacher. The problem of early school leaving is still not raised by the Ukrainian society, relevant statistics are not available and this issue is not raised in acute scientific or state circles at the level of society and the state. The author sees the processes of humanization of education in such specific recommendations and experiences of EU countries as respect for students, participation of students and parents in decision-making of the educational institution, respect for the student's personality and his needs and interests in the learning process. All employees of the educational institution – teachers and staff, providing a comfortable and friendly environment of the educational institution.

The top priority of a legal social democratic state is to ensure human rights and freedoms. Children and young people constitute a segment of the population that, for objective reasons, is most vulnerable to social problems, and therefore they require special remedies by civil society and the state. Moreover, it should be emphasized that all categories of children and young people, including those in conflict with the law, require special attention. Probably, there are certain social patterns that contribute to the growth of social deviance of minors. The rise in deviance among minors is, first and foremost, the result of “social outsiderism”, when young people and children find themselves outside the existing society and being pushed out of it. This is a result of the disruption of normal socialization that is now of a natural nature. Nowadays, society is losing the system of social control over the process of becoming a younger generation. Institutions of socialization, such as family, school, children and youth organizations, are losing their value and some are disappearing altogether. The process of socialization of adolescents is becoming increasingly negative in nature, and youth are more exposed to the criminal world than to the values of civil society institutions. Absence of a complete socialization environment in society, alienation of adolescents from the main spheres of positive life activity – family, educational institution, labor collective, entertaining institutions – are the factors that guide minors to commit crimes. The National police have an important role in crime prevention, in social protection of children, legal education, socialization and integration of child offenders into society, therefore the competence of the National police as well as and the competency of employees involved in working with child offenders play a vital role and is a necessary part of their professional activities in the performance of their duties. However, the existence of various scientific approaches to the concept and content of the “competence” and a lack of consensus on its definition make it necessary to develop a unified approach to the interpretation of the term competence. The article describes various approaches to the determination of the essence of competence, gives the definition of the term competence. The article also analyzes the legal acts regulating the activities of the National police, defines itscompetence in the field of socialization of child offenders.
