The work scrutinizes higher journalism education as a dynamic practice developing and constantly renewing in accordance with innovation processes in the social communicative sphere. The analysis of scientific publications shows the views of educators and stakeholders who show their understanding of the solution for the issue considering objective reasons such as the development of information technologies, converging of means of mass communication, arrival of new business models and content promotion channels, shifts in psychological attitudes to the content perception by the audience. Some insist that the professional training is to combine both deep humanitarian knowledge and technological practices of the studio work and editing processes. The others prefer technological practices, media marketing both in producing the content and its promotion at different media platforms. The former urge that university training, apart from technological and instrumental skills, should provide for fundamental knowledge of the subject area, understanding of the terminology apparatus, patterns of functioning, ability to analyze various communicative processes. According to this view, teaching journalism is to be started from the university level of the bachelor introducing, along with technologically oriented disciplines, theoretical educational components of social and psychological, moral and ethical, law directions together with research work: writing abstracts, term and qualification papers, scientific articles, participation in scientific contests. The latter think that learning journalism can be sufficiently accomplished at the technological and instrumental, trade level, for instance, at journalism schools. At the same time, we should abandon the traditional view of journalism as a creative profession. The bachelor’s degree can be obtained outside the major of journalism. The theoretical and research components, given all their obviousness for higher education, are shown as the most disputable element of the professional training. Despite the discrepancy in the approaches to teaching journalism, the usefulness of the discussion lies in the search of ways of optimal balance between research and technically practical educational components, classroom and on-the-job training, and the fruitful collaboration between educators and employers.

The advent of fintech is blowing a new wind into the financial industry. New business models have been created and consumers’ access to financial services is higher than ever. Internet-only banks based on advanced information technologies have emerged as a leader in the fintech industry, and these banks are fiercely competing with large banks using internet banking as a weapon to attract new customers. The purpose of this study is to explore the factors that influence customers’ intention to switch to internet-only banking services from traditional internet banking services in Korea. To this end, a research model was developed based on the push-pull-mooring model (PPM), which is a migration theory. The research model was analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings will provide the practitioners of the new internet-only bank with strategic guidance for attracting new customers and help practitioners of traditional banks to retain current customers.

Implementation and training about changes in a procurement process are complex due to the complexity of the procurement process characterised by the adaptive stakeholder network and continuously changing market rules. Traditional training approaches for procurement split the process into separate steps; however, to be able to assess all training aspects, it is important to have a holistic look at procurement. This work explores how well gamification can address the complexity of the procurement process for training specialists in the road construction sector. A case study is carried out to train new business models for both experienced specialists and new employees. The steps for the development of gamification for training in procurement are shown. A comparison of results from experienced and less experienced participants is presented. The results show the relationships amongst the complexity of the real system, the gamification design and the results of gamification.

In the context of the transition to a digital economy and the use of information technologies in all spheres of human activity, the problem of training a teacher capable of carrying out professional activities in these conditions becomes urgent. The article shows the importance of mathematics and mathematical education not only for the development of the digital economy and the level of mathematical literacy of the population, but also for the advanced professional training of future mathematics teachers in the field of ICT competence. The authors substantiate the possibility in the formation of the future teacher’s ICT competence within the framework of mathematical education, on the one hand, by the universality of mathematics, which allows transforming a huge amount of information, on the other hand, by referring mathematics and computer science to one subject area of knowledge, which makes it possible to determine generalized educational results in a given subject area. The analysis of the problems of the development of mathematics education allowed the authors to state that in order to increase the competitiveness of a future mathematics teacher in the labor market, he must have not only a high level of subject training, but also possess information educational resources in mathematics, be able to work on information and educational portals, be ready for work in a high-tech digital educational environment. The authors, presenting their own experience, highlight the main directions of using ICT tools in the educational process in mathematics. Particular attention in the article is paid to blended learning, which, based on ICT, changes the role of both the teacher and the student.
