The article features the analysis of game development software tools in higher educational institutions of Ukraine (Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi Hryhorii Skovoroda State Pedagogical University), Turkey (Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University) and Bulgaria (Trakia University). The article highlights the results of the research conducted by teachers and students of these universities. In this research, teachers with no previous experience in this field or specialized IT skills created educational games. Free software tools that can be used to create educational games were selected for this research (Construct 3, GameMaker Studio 2, Unity, Godot Engine, Unreal Engine 4). The study included two data arrays: the first was the opinion expressed by teachers who developed educational games, and the second – that of students who tested the final game product. We analyzed free tools for creating educational games according to such criteria: the need for programming language knowledge, availability of support forums and reference materials, ability to export data to multiple platforms and in many formats, add in-app purchases or various components to each object, whether both 2D and 3D games are supported, development speed. In the Ukrainian teachers’ opinion, GameMaker Studio 2 was the most effective, while teachers in Turkey and Bulgaria preferred the Unreal Engine 4. According to research results, it is worth noting a high interest of both teachers and students in the creation and use of educational computer games. It should also be noted that these results are relevant only for specific groups under study since they are based on the individual experience of a limited number of students. However, they are significant for shaping ideas about pedagogical strategies and allow teachers to learn new information, try new types of activities and interaction.

The objective of this study was to determine whether higher education institutions, teachers and students of the specialization in musical art are prepared to create and use the digital educational space in the educational process. The study involved the following methods: literature review and analysis of the content of official documents of higher educational institutions that provide professional training for music teachers; survey; mathematical methods of data processing; Statistica software package. The research has shown that not all higher educational institutions have the necessary resources to implement learning in the digital education space. Besides, not all higher educational institutions teach subjects that help improve students’ digital literacy. There are also teachers who have difficulties using the digital educational space in the learning process due to lack of digital literacy. The study demonstrated awareness of the importance of using the digital educational space in the education of future music teachers. But, it is necessary to pay attention to improving the digital literacy of all participants in the educational process, as well as provide educational institutions with proper modern recourses, software, hardware and equipment, including also computer music technologies and electronic musical instruments.

The relevance of the topic is due to the widespread use of information technology in higher educational institutions. This trend has conflicting and ambiguous consequences. On the one hand, the use of information technology increases the accessibility of education, makes the educational process flexible, and expands the possibilities of using visual materials. On the other hand, problems arise in the development of teaching methods that are necessary to stimulate the learning activity of students. To study the attitude of teachers and students to the problems of using information technology in higher education, the scientific publications of foreign and Russian scientists were analyzed. The purpose of the research is to study the peculiarities of perceiving the problems of informatization of the educational process by teachers and students of higher educational institutions. The empirical basis of the study was the materials of a sociological survey conducted among students of Togliatti State University in 2014 (N=359) and in 2019 (N=353). Comparative analysis of the results shows that within five years the number of students who are interested in using information resources in the educational process has significantly increased. A similar trend can be traced in the interest in using educational programs and simulators. From 2014 to 2019, the number of students who would like to receive supplementary training in information technology has doubled. The growing interest of students in the use of information technology necessitates the development of modern teaching methods, changes in the forms of interaction between students and teachers in the educational process. The solution to these problems at the present stage is associated with the search for the optimal combination of information and interactive technologies in the educational process.

The article addresses theoretical substantiation and empirical research of personal readiness of teachers and instructors in higher educational institutions to implementing dialogue as a form of educational process. The essence of educational dialogue is viewed as an integrated procedural form of active learning, which is aimed at transformation of internal experiences of future specialist and acquiring new ones. The author states that a complete educational dialogue depends on three components: 1) the dialogism of a teacher; 2) the dialogic nature of educational material (as a fragment of given educational content); 3) student dialogue. The leading role of the instructor is being analyzed not only in the dialogic organization of educational process, but also in development of dialogical culture of students. Two aspects of the teacher's readiness are singled out: 1) how a teacher goes through self-realization and personality development (personal readiness); 2) how a teacher contributes to personal growth of students (professional readiness). The article analyzes facilitative abilities of a teacher, based on which the teacher develops personal readiness for implementing dialog as a form of educational process. It has been empirically proven, based on the questionnaires administered to both teachers and students, that teachers often focus on formal indicators, on the monotony and authoritarianism of teaching. Relations between teachers and students are often manipulative, and there is an alienation and indifference of the teaching staff towards students in pedagogical communication. At the same time, dogmatism, formalism, and closeness, and stereotypical role behavior of teachers and students constitute the greatest obstacle in transforming educational process into a dialogue.

Civic identity is one of the most integrating systems, reflecting a wide range of different spheres of society's life, through which self-determination of the individual as a citizen of his country is carried out. The purpose of this work is to identify and compare the features of the civic identity of students of medical, humanitarian and technical higher educational institutions in the city of Saratov. The article is the first to consider the problem of the formation of civic identity of students of various universities from the standpoint of the analysis of cognitive, emotional and behavioral components. An experimental statistical study was carried out, in which 57 students took part. Based on the data obtained, the prevailing social value orientations of students of a humanitarian university, social-role value orientations of students of a medical university, as well as hedonistic value orientations of students of a technical university were revealed. The results of the study indicate that the constituent components of civic identity among students of a technical university are formed at a significantly lower level in comparison with students of other universities. The highest level of communicative potential is observed among students of a humanitarian university, and the lowest — among students of a technical university. The lowest level of behavioral regulation was formed among students of a technical university. Reduce the level of civic identity, namely its behavioral and emotional components, social introversion and psychasthenia; in addition, the behavioral component decreases due to an increase in the severity of depressive personality traits. The formation of the cognitive component of civic identity among students of humanitarian, medical and technical universities is associated with an adequate perception of reality.

One of the main objective factors affecting the sphere of leisure is the social policy of the state, the purpose of which is to create appropriate conditions for the life of the individual. In Ukraine, in the context of the implementation of social policy, there are a number of unresolved problems. This concerns, first of all, overcoming the «residual principle» attitude to solving the problems of leisure and culture in General; changing the attitude to the formation of the cultural situation to master the world’s cultural achievements; the discrepancy between the activities of cultural institutions and modern requirements, the lack of a certain standard ґarantovanih state free cultural services; lack of medium and long-term state policy on cultural development; lack of training in the sociocultural sphere in the new economic conditions; lack of a clear program of support for cultural industries; lack of a single information cultural space and a network of partnerships at the vertical and horizontal levels; the practical absence of Ukraine as a state in the European and world cultural space, in the system of European cultural projects. The main purpose of the article is to reveal the importance of the organization of meaningful leisure of students of higher educational institutions in order to meet and realize their interests and needs, disclosure of creative potential, social education and activation of social and social activities. The sphere of leisure in higher educational institutions of Ukraine will perform functions of development and formation of the personality of the young person only on condition of compliance of the organization of activity at leisure to their interests and needs. This is possible because of the cooperation of these associations with government agencies and institutions that are not only designed to solve certain problems of young people, but also to provide appropriate financial and material support. Students should become a subject of leisure activities, an active participant, not a passive consumer, and this will enable the development of new innovative forms of leisure activities, which will take into account all, both collective and individual interests and needs of students.
