The article deals with the creation of unified information-educational environment of an educational institution, requirements to it, the organization of the educational process based on it, as well as all its constituent parts presented in an educational institution. A promising field of research of the problem of information technologies usage in students' learning activities can become the experimental study of the beliefs of students, scientific-pedagogical and pedagogical staff of higher education institutions on e-learning tools and their application in the educational environment. Moreover, it is worthwhile to mention that the problem of effective use of modern ICT disciplines is studied by many professors of higher educational institutions. However, its incorrect usage leads to the substitution of the learning objectives. Nowadays it is possible to reduce the educational process in universities not only by knowledge mastering, but also teaching students to learn and apply their new knowledge and information as effective, as it is possible. Numerous theoretical and practical research characteristics of the information technology in the students’ educational process claim that this approach is a response to students’ social demands and needs, since it contributes to the formation of professional competence of future professionals. One of the most important factors that significantly effects the quality of education is the usage of modern information technologies. Modern graduate students should have special professional tools and solve working problems, using information systems. Thus, the introduction of innovative information technologies in higher educational institutions enables future professionals to expand their potential abilities and encourages active learning.


The article analyzes the role of free choice disciplines in the formation of universal or functional competencies, which are also called soft skills. It has been proven that mastering soft skills ensures both personal success in life and professional implementation, as well as further career growth of a modern graduate of a higher educational institution. Based on the analysis of scientific sources, the main approaches to defining the essence and classification of soft skills in the works of both domestic and foreign scientists are determined and characterized. The publication analyzes and summarizes the ways of forming soft skills among students in the practice of higher educational institutions of Ukraine. Among them: the creation of a special educational environment, the restructuring of the educational process, which is dominated by such types of learning as project, problem-based, etc.; variety of forms and methods of teaching; extracurricular system, etc. It has been proven that a cycle of selective disciplines or author's courses plays an important role in ensuring the formation of soft skills. A significant place among them is occupied by the course "Pedagogy of Success", which in the 2020-2021 academic year was chosen by applicants for the first (bachelor's) level of higher education. The course is aimed at increasing the productivity of independent educational work and a positive attitude towards it among students of higher educational institutions, equipping them with strategies of self-esteem, the formation of a positive "I-concept"; effective distribution of time (time management); search, evaluation and information processing; active reading; improved memorization; submitting your own educational achievements; communication, ways to ensure personal work ability, etc.

Система высшего образования России по сравнению с ближайшими соседями демонстрирует высокий уровень моральной и технической отсталости учебного процесса. В России высшие учебные заведения используют устаревшие методы внедрения образовательной деятельности. Эффективность развития современного общества обеспечивается наличием высокого интеллектуального потенциала. Именно поэтому системе учебных заведений нужно уделить немалое внимание, а именно высшим учебным заведениям. Высшие учебные заведения решают важные вопросы по профессиональной подготовке специалистов, обеспечивают общество интеллектуальными ресурсами. Интеллектуализация жизни, в том числе и экономической, предопределяет потребность развития образования. Образование обеспечивает работающих в экономике информацией, знаниями, умениями, интеллектуальным капиталом, поэтому эффективность работы высших учебных заведений чрезвычайно важна и невозможна без достаточного уровня финансового обеспечения. В проекте Стратегии реформирования высшего образования до 2024 г. ключевым для администрирования финансового обеспечения национальной системы высшего образования России был определен вопрос оплаты подготовки соискателей высшего образования. The higher education system of Russia, in comparison with its closest neighbors, demonstrates a high level of moral and technical backwardness of the educational process. In Russia, higher education institutions use outdated methods of implementing educational activities. The effectiveness of the development of modern society is ensured by the presence of high intellectual potential. That is why a lot of attention should be paid to the system of educational institutions, namely higher educational institutions. Higher educational institutions solve important issues of professional training of specialists, provide society with intellectual resources. The intellectualization of life, including economic life, determines the need for the development of education. Education provides those working in the economy with information, knowledge, skills, and intellectual capital, so the efficiency of higher education institutions is extremely important and impossible without a sufficient level of financial support.

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of national patriotic education of future coaches in Ukrainian higher educational institutions. This issue is especially acute in our difficult times of military conflict. Sports youth are the future of our state. Considering the fact that professional athletes represent our country in the international and world arena, the problem of national-patriotic education becomes extremely urgent and timely. Most of the time athletes spend in the gym, and therefore it is the coach that occupies an important link in the process of patriotic education. The coach acts as a leader and idol of young athletes in the training and educational process. And therefore, in our opinion, it is very important that the coach himself be a patriot of his country. The task of higher educational institutions specializing in the training of future coaches is to prepare not only highly qualified specialists in the field of physical education and sports, but also worthy citizens of Ukraine. The relevance and presence of the problem is due to the choice of the topic of our research. The article analyzes the essence and content of the national-patriotic education of future coaches, reveals the level of formation of the patriotic qualities of athletes and coaches, and offers methodological recommendations for their improvement.
