География это мировоззренческая наука. Сложившаяся за десятилетия структура курса обучения географии в российской средней школе знакома каждому из нас и состоит из четырёх этапов. В университете система обучения будущих учителей географии состоит из тех же самых этапов, однако, это не просто углублённое повторение школьной программы, это совершенно новый, более высокий уровень географического образования. Как на школьном, так и на университетском уровнях изменения происходят в масштабе тем и разделов отдельных этапов, но этапы остаются неизменными. Межэтапный уровень является предельным, его осознание не попадает в область рефлексии педагогов и методистов. Отсутствуют и научные труды по его анализу. В качестве метода исследования выступает диалектика, законы которой срабатывают в виде мировоззренческих формул. В школьном географическом образовании проблема формирования восприятия не проявляется чётко и поэтому не осознаётся. Проблемы начинают проявляться на межэтапном уровне. Мировоззренческая формула дихотомии перестала работать в виде противопоставления отраслевая география районная география, взаимодействие в этой бинарной оппозиции строилось по принципу отраслевой анализ региональный синтез. В разделах районной географии исчезли механизмы (энергопроизводственные циклы) и формы синтеза (природнотерриториальные и территориальнопроизводственные комплексы). Произошла утрата целесообразности изучения районной географии. Новых форм синтеза в постсоветское время на вооружение российской школьной и университетской географией принято не было. В университетском курсе, который был направлен на осознание диалектических знаний школьного курса и развитие их, невозможно провести рефлексию, так как основы географических знаний у абитуриентов бесформенные. Владение мировоззренческими формулами это вопрос отражения географической реальности. В переходе с уровня на уровень возрастает самостоятельность географического мышления и удаление от стереотипов, возрастает эвристический потенциал за счёт сочетания формул, которое даёт вариативность отражения географической реальности. Geography is a worldview science. The structure of the geography course in the Russian secondary school, which has developed over the decades, is familiar to each of us and consists of four stages. At the University, the system of teaching future teachers of geography consists of the same stages, however, it is not just an indepth repetition of the school curriculum, it is a completely new, higher level of geographical education. At both the school and University levels, changes occur in the scale of topics and sections of individual stages, but the stages remain the same. The interstage level is the limit, its awareness does not fall into the field of reflection of teachers and methodologists. There are no scientific papers on its analysis. The method of research is dialectics, the laws of which work in the form of worldview formulas. In school geographic education, the problem of perception formation is not clearly manifested and therefore is not realized. Problems begin to emerge at the interstage level. The worldview formula of dichotomy ceased to work in the form of the opposition sectoral geography regional geography, the interaction in this binary opposition was based on the principle of sectoral analysis regional synthesis. Mechanisms (energy production cycles) and forms of synthesis (naturalterritorial and territorialproduction complexes) have disappeared in the sections of the district geography. There was a loss of expediency of studying of regional geography. New forms of synthesis in the postSoviet period were not adopted by the Russian school and University geography. In the University course, which was aimed at understanding the dialectical knowledge of the school course and their development, it is impossible to reflect, as the basis of geographical knowledge of students formless. The possession of ideological formulas is the question of geographic reality. In the transition from level to level increases the independence of geographical thinking and the distance from stereotypes, heuristic potential increases due to the combination of formulas, which gives variability of reflection of geographical reality.

In the system of continuous geographical education, upgrading teachers’ professional skills plays an important role. Acquaintance with modern tendencies of educational technology and constant normative-legislative and methodical changes form a permanent basis for training and self-improvement of teachers. Since 2016 V.N. Karazin Kharkiv National University, in addition to specialists training, has been offering teachers’ qualifications improvement in the form of part-time classes, at the courses for teachers of general educational establishments of different types and forms of ownership in Kharkiv region in the study field «Geography. Geography of Ukraine». The purpose of the article is to analyze the organization of distance learning of geography teachers within the framework of teacher training courses. The main material. The program of training courses for geography teachers involves consideration of educational problems, features of teaching geography on various programs and courses, specialized training, courses for gifted children. High efficiency of the training is assured by the implementation of both invariant and variant components. The thematic plan is designed for 210 hours (7 credits). According to the curriculum, distance learning relates to the professional unit. During the on-site classes, teachers obtain basic knowledge, which is furthered with the distance course «Geography for Teachers», designed for 120 academic hours. The course «Geography for Teachers» is based on the Moodle platform designed to support distance learning. It contains such structural elements as glossary, tasks, resources, tests, a forum, a chat and consists of 12 information packs. Digital online classes take place within 4 weeks, which includes independent online study. This stage for teachers finishes with preparing and presenting the paper (implementation of the practical task) and taking the test. During this period, course participants can get a personal tutorial in the chat or the forum. It is important to maintain feedback from teachers because they work during the learning process due to the lack of time. Each of them has the opportunity to work with the distance course and get a tutorial in their free time. The distance course «Geography for Teachers» has been repeatedly tested by groups of teachers who were upgrading their qualification and has been improved with every comment or suggestion. The course has got the certificate of recognition as an educational and methodical work. Conclusions. To sum up, the usage of the distance course «Geography for Teachers» as a form of continuous geographical education certainly has a number of benefits: mobility, modernity of information, accessibility and informality. This improves the perception and work of geography teachers in self-education and upgrading their professional competencies. It also provides the opportunity to use new, up-to-date information in the form of lectures, presentations, manuals, statistical yearbooks and other information resources that are necessary for a teacher in his or her work.

The relevance of the study is due to the need to find ways to ensure the psychological safety of distance educational environment, as well as the lack of development of characteristics and safety indicators of the educational process during distance learning at school. The main research methods were theoretical methods aimed at creating theoretical generalizations, determining the content of teachers’ readiness to ensure psychological safety in the context of distance learning and empirical methods that identify the main components of readiness using a research methodology.The article discusses the results of a study of the readiness of teachers to ensure psychological safety in the context of distance learning in three components: a) the operational component, which is represented by communicative, constructive and gnostic skills that determine the teacher’s behavior in ensuring safe and comfortable interaction with distance learning; b) the reflexive component involves understanding the problem of safe-comfortable interaction in the context of distance learning and identifying ways to solve it based on introspection of one’s activities; c) the activity component is represented by the personal experience of the teacher in using special ways of working with students to ensure psychological safety in the distance educational environment. The conditions for teaching teachers to develop their competence to ensure the psychological safety of distance learning environments are defined: mastering the methods of organizing the educational process, ways to maintain the self-organization of the educational process, building an individual motivational system for the student and emotional support in real distance learning.

The purpose of this article is to draw attention to some uncoordinated issues in domestic geographic education, namely the differences in approaches to the regional tourism division of Ukraine and the world, the assignment of individual countries to macroregions, which contradicts the geographical approach, makes it diffi cult for students to perceive, affects the quality of their knowledge. The main material. The disciplines «Tourist geography of Ukraine», «Geography of tourism of Ukraine», «Geography of tourism», «Recreational geography», «Tourist local history» are basic in the cycle of professional training of specialists, bachelors of the specialty «Tourism». They often trace the use of the same conceptual apparatus, the rationale for various provisions, criteria that are the basis for regional zoning. The analysis and synthesis of the scientists’ approaches carried out by the author has found significant differences in identifying tourist and recreational regions, grouping of countries, typology, and gradations of taxonomic units. The proposed schemes of tourist regionalization of the territory of Ukraine and the world differ in their approaches to the substantiation of district-forming factors, and accordingly, the number, names and borders of the selected regions. Sometimes «liberties» are allowed in the definition and operation of the conceptual apparatus. This distinguishes informational presentation, causes confusion, time spending, not inducing the integrity of the world perception. Conclusions and further research. According to the experience of teaching these disciplines, the dependence of the quality of knowledge and skills of students on the degree of integration of the content, forms and methods of instruction has been revealed. The necessity to observe the spatial-geographical approach in regionalization is grounded. The proposed measures will be useful in the formation of future specialists’ competence based on the integration of academic disciplines. The practical signifi cance of this scientific problem is seen in the development of uniform standards for curricula and programs; methodological manuals and recommendations on integration issues in geographical education; respecting the paradigm in the preparation of textbooks and teaching aids, as well as in the process of teaching the relevant disciplines. The study does not exhaust all aspects of the problem and indicates the need for its further development, clarification of teaching methods of various integrated courses, the use of integrated technologies.
