The content analysis of the concepts «educational space» and «educational environment» is performed. It is proved that the concept of «educational space» is considered as: territory; integration system; subsystem of social space; pedagogical reality; system of pedagogical factors and conditions of personal development; a set of educational institutions, educational processes, and educational environments that operate in a particular area; the field where the interaction of educational environments occurs. It is proved that the concept of «educational environment» is considered as the specifics of the relationship that has developed in the institution, innovative technologies and assessment of the components of successful self-realization of the individual; a set of conditions, opportunities, and resources for personal education; the interconnection of conditions that provide human education; institutional form, which is characterized by interconnected conditions that affect human education; the environment where the formation of personality (professional development of the applicant) happens. It is determined that the concept of «space» in its meaning is broader than the concept of «environment». A model of educational space in Ukraine has been developed, which includes educational institutions as manufacturers of educational services, which are involved in the functioning of three markets: the market of educational services for which they develop their educational programs; the labor market for which highly qualified personnel (graduates) are trained; market of scientific and technical products and services where they offer the results of their scientific and technical activities. The proposed model of educational space identifies the subjects and objects of the market of educational services, the labor market, and the market of scientific and technical products and services. The modern international practice of the concept of educational services is investigated. The components of the formation of modern educational space in the context of the knowledge economy are determined. The following methods were used in the study: theoretical generalization, analysis, and synthesis, comparative analysis, observation. The practical significance of the results of the study is to determine the relationship of elements of the modern educational space of Ukraine in the context of the knowledge economy, analysis of methodological approaches to the formation of modern domestic educational space.

The discourse of reform in higher education tends to focus narrowly on employability and the relationship between higher education and the labor market. Universities as research institutions are now considered solely in the dominant discourse of innovation. This way of conceiving universities is inspired by functionalist theory that focuses on the imperatives of a knowledge economy. Taking a departure in the theory of society developed by Jürgen Habermas this paper seeks to provide a theoretical framework for an empirical comparative analysis on the wider societal impact of universities. It is the argument that the wider impacts of higher education and research at universities must be seen in a more complex vision of modern societies. The paper is thus primarily a re-reading of Habermas’ critique of functionalist views of the university and an application of Habermas’ critique on current issues in the debates on higher education. A special discussion will be taken on issues of the self in view of the current tendencies to regard all education from the standpoint of the economic outputs.

The current situation in secondary education is characterized by the development of various educational institutions, which differ not only in educational programs and curriculum, but also in the conditions for training and educating, which make up the educational environment of modern educational institutions. The importance of studying the processes of forming the educational environment in a modern school is relevant, since the quality of education and upbringing of modern students who spend most of their time in the educational environment of schools will depend on its organization. Studying the problems of organizing the educational environment is also important in the sense that it is the qualitative approach to this process that will determine in the future if it is possible for students to receive high-quality educational services. The influence of the educational environment on the modern student is determined today, first of all, by the students' perception of the educational process, their involvement in the process of its creation and improvement. The effectiveness of the educational environment may also depend on how the student perceives it. So, the educational environment can be an effective means of developing the potential of the student, but if it is an integrated space for the interaction of children and adults (parents, teachers).

On the basis of the analysis of statistical data and the results of sociological surveys of different categories of the population, it is concluded that the market of educational services in the present-day Ukraine functions, mainly in itself, poorly interacting with the labor market. It is noted that the significant manifestation of the structural imbalance of supply and demand in the labor market is the discrepancy between the structure, volume and quality of graduates’ training of higher education institutions for the needs of employers, the economy of Ukraine as a whole, as well as informal and part-time employment, part-time, and the widespread practice of employment of graduates of educational institutions is not specialty, labor migration, the inability of the educational services market to react in a timely manner to the changes taking place in the labor market. Overcoming the separation of higher education from the domestic labor market is impossible without increasing of relationship between theoretical and practical training of students.

It is best suited for training professionals in areas such as economics, business administration, engineering, social security.
