The article reveals the essence of the definitions «lifelong education», «lifelong professional education», «system of lifelong education». An urgent problem today is to search ways to modernize and improve the system of lifelong professional education in order to make education meet the needs of society as a whole and each individual in particular at each level. The variability of surrounding reality is the basis for change in society and social institutions. Lifelong professional education cannot exist in isolation from other social systems. Education is the engine for the development of society (economic, political, social, etc.). The interpretation of the concept of «lifelong education» by different authors is analyzed, various contexts are considered (as a concept, as an aspect of educational practice, as a principle of educational organization, as a principle of state policy implementation, as modern trend, as a paradigm of scientific and pedagogical thinking). The roles of lifelong education (for an individual, for society, for the state, for the world community) are considered. Developmental stages of lifelong education (V. Onushkina, O. Tonkonoga, T. Desyatova, N. Nychkalo) are investigated. The problems of modern professional education are considered (subject education, elemental approach, separation of the subjects of the educational process from its results, the absence of quality requirements at each stage, etc.) and suggested ways to eliminate them. The characteristics of lifelong learning (duration, motivation, goals and objectives, network of educational services) are analyzed. The functions of lifelong professional education are considered: socio-cultural (developmental), general education (compensatory), adaptive and economic. The priority directions of lifelong professional education development are analyzed: intellectualization of education; personality-oriented approach; educational services market; modernization of all types of support; social partnership; international cooperation. The requirements for lifelong professional education at present stage of society development are formulated and characterized. The system of lifelong professional education is considered as a dynamic system that is in constant development.

Researched is the most significant event in socio-economic, political and other spheres of life in the period of 2019–2020 COVID-19 pandemic that significantly “reshaped” principles and technologies of functioning of certain social institutions that traditionally play a stabilizing function in society. The social institute of education is one of these systems. Under the influence of the coronavirus crisis, education as a social institution has shown its strengths and weaknesses in terms of providing a stabilizing function. The dys-functionality of education is most clearly manifested in the lack of readiness of its subjects for a rapid technological transition from full-time to distance learning. The article considers the main forms of dys-functionality of education, expressed in such types of unpreparedness as technological, infrastructure, personnel, skill, and mental, and presents their characteristics and main forms of manifestation. It is concluded that, on the one hand, the coronavirus crisis was a powerful factor in the destabilization of all economic and social systems and caused their dys-functionality. On the other hand, and this was most evident for the Institute of education, it accelerated technological modernization and the rapid transition to innovative forms and technologies of education, followed by an increase in technological literacy of teachers and students, revision of methodological and didactic materials, and a change in the paradigm of managing the educational process directly in educational institutions and in General national education systems.

The article deals with the statistical analysis of the effectiveness of the educational process at university. The research featured factors affecting the quality of training university students. The authors employed quantitative and qualitative indicators and organizational and pedagogical approaches, as well as methods of correlation and variance analysis. The indicators were systematized and generalized in order to identify the extent of their impact on the effectiveness of the factors under consideration. The reliability of the results was checked using the Pearson test. The methodology of the study was based on the identification of factors that affect the students’ achievements. A factor is a condition for good quality education. Based on the principles of general and professional education of the individual, the authors identified two groups of factors: 1) those related to the performance of the general education stage (academic performance, training profile); 2) those related to the results of higher education (academic performance, areas of training, course of study, academics). The academic performance of the first-year students did not depend on the results of the Unified State Exam and school grades. This dependence began to manifest itself during the second year, i.e. after the adaptation period. Statistical processing provided a mathematical model of the dependence of academic performance on the identified factors. The model can be used to predict the results of academic performance, as well as to adjust the learning process in order to improve the quality of university graduates' training, e.g. additional consultations, new information technologies, changes in the curriculum, level-based differentiation of content, tasks, individualized tasks, etc. The results are of interest for organizers of psychological and pedagogical support of professional self-determination for university students and their socio-psychological adaptation.

Abstract Implementation of the result-oriented (self-)education paradigm in the general education school requires sustainable changes in didactics not only on the strategic document plane but also in educational practice. However, its implementation in practice is complicated. The success of the interaction between theory and practice largely depends on the teacher’s professionalism. Therefore, the insights that have emerged in the context of teachers’ practical experiences applying self-directed learning are important identifying preconditions for sustainable changes in didactics. The semi-structured written survey and the content analysis enabled the authors to find out preconditions for changes in didactics, manifesting themselves through the teacher’’s personal self-actualisation, the student’s empowerment to learn and redistribution of powers of participants of the educational process. Research results suggest that identified preconditions for changes in didactics are interrelated and illustrate manifestation of sustainable changes in didactics.
