This paper deals with the problem of theoretical justification and development of scientific and methodological support for using the cloud service CoCalc as a tool for the formation of mathematics teachers’ professional competencies. The following contradictions exist concerning the processes of forming these competencies: between the level of abstraction of mathematical objects and the possibilities of providing their visualization by computer interpretation; between the expediency of widespread use of ICT services for mathematical purposes in the training of pre-service teachers of mathematics and the lack of opportunities for their provision to ICT subdivisions and pedagogical universities; between the feasibility of using ICT outsourcing of cloud infrastructure for the pre-service training of mathematics teachers in Ukraine and the non-adaptability of foreign cloud-based mathematical services to the requirements of national educational standards; between the possibilities of application of cloud mathematical services in the process of formation of professional competencies of mathematics teachers and the absence of an adequate method for their implementation. The paper describes the professional training of mathematics teachers in universities of Ukraine, and considers the national and foreign experience of using the cloud-based services in mathematics teachers’ pre-service training and also the tendencies and prospects of using CoCalc in teaching mathematical disciplines. The process of system design of mathematics teachers’ professional competencies is characterized, and the model of using the cloud service CoCalc as a tool for forming mathematics teachers’ professional competencies is developed. The indicators and levels (high, sufficient, medium, low) were identified for each component of the pre-service mathematics teachers’ professional competence system within the proposed model. The method of using CoCalc as a tool for forming professional competencies of mathematics teachers is developed and its basic components such as purpose, content, tools, methods and results are elaborated. Information regarding the stages of research and also the experimental work objectives and content are presented; the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the main stages (ascertaining, formative) of the pedagogical experiment is performed, confirming the hypothesis of the study.

The study is relevant since there is a contradiction between growing requirements for the informational and communicative competence of different students, including the use of cloud-based computer modeling systems, and the insufficient use of cloud technologies in teaching bachelors of economics and technology. The study aims at determining cloud-based systems that are advisable to use as a means of forming the professional competencies of future specialists in economics and technology and developing guidelines for their use. Based on the analysis of various programs, the authors have proved that the most appropriate is the use of specific software in the professional training of future specialists. Scattered software and cloud services need integration based on unified access that a Google account can provide. They also developed a method of using cloud technologies as a means of forming the informational and communicative competence of bachelors of economics and technology. The use of cloud-based information and communication technologies ensures an increase in the level of professional competence of future specialists.

Competence approach in the training of future occupational therapists makes it possible to determine the degree of readiness of students for purposeful professional activity. Assessment of the acquisition of competencies by university students remains a serious problem that requires discussion after the application of various assessment methods in the educational process. The purpose coverage of the component of professional competencies and criteria for their evaluation in the teaching of occupational therapy based on the French experience. Material and methods. In this paper we studied professional competencies of a French occupational therapist to obtain a state diploma "Occupational Therapist". We used the following methods: analysis, generalization and systematization of information of scientific and methodical literature. Results and discussion. Training in occupational therapy is carried out at the departments of physical therapy in the specialty 227 – "Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy", which provides two specializations: 227.1 – "Physical Therapy" and 227.2 – "Occupational Therapy". Thus, the component of professional competence is a structural component of the educational program for the training of competent professionals who are able to use the acquired knowledge, skills and abilities in practice. In 2019, the Commission of Specialists at the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine developed a draft educational and professional training program for occupational therapists. In this project, professional competencies are divided into 5 professional competencies of the specialty and 14 professional competencies of the specialization. In order to receive a state diploma in occupational therapy, the Decree of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health of France prescribes ten professional competencies that must be mastered by a future specialist. At the same time, this document contains criteria for assessing the student's acquisition of these competencies. This Decree contains the following criteria for assessing professional competencies: “What allows us to say that the skill has been mastered? What exactly do we want to check? What visible signs of a student's acquisition of competence can be observed? What are the signs of good results?” Conclusion. Professional competencies and criteria for their evaluation, which form the basis of training occupational therapists in France, can be considered a complex multidimensional education, which was formed in the process of acquiring professional education and is a powerful motivating factor for training competitive professionals, which direct the perception of goals, values, content, results and features of this activity. This experience of the French school can be useful for the preparation of educational and professional, syllabus and work programs in occupational therapy
