Knowledge Based

There has been an increasing emphasis on enhancing students’ practical experience acquiring from the higher education, focusing not only on the development of academic and intellectual capabilities and subject knowledge, but also on the development of skills to equip students for employability. A practical training system that allows instruments to be monitored and controlled over the Internet leaves plenty of room to be studied. This training system can easily be turned into online experiment that allows students at remote locations to control and obtain real-time measurements or experimental data (Tan & Soh, 2001). Actually, some students like to read books to gain knowledge, while others prefer to understand theories deeper through experiment (Chu, 1999; Whelan, 1997). Both of these knowledge-based and investigative types of learning styles have profound and different effects on the delivery and acceptance of engineering education.

The article deals with the applicants' professional competencies formation in higher education in the process of self-analysis of Ukrainian literature lessons during pedagogical practices.Pedagogical practice in a higher education institution is one of the most important problems in the philology teacher's training system for practical activities in secondary schools of various types. It is a link between theoretical learning and future independent work at school. In the process of practice, theoretical knowledge acquired during training is consolidated and deepened, professional skills and abilities are developed, pedagogical thinking and creative abilities are developed, the process of formation of professional and personal qualities is intensified.Attention is paid to the peculiarities of literature lessons, the task of practical training. Ukrainian literature as a subject is the main subject of anthropology at school. Great importance was attached to these lessons by the outstanding Ukrainian pedagogue-humanist, philologist V. O. Sukhomlinsky.Among other disciplines of literature, the teacher paid special attention. In the literary work, he saw the breadth and versatility that opens space for students to think, moral and aesthetic activities. Literature as a subject, said V. Sukhomlinsky, opens the way to an independent research approach in the analysis  of both the individual artistic image and the work of art as a whole. A number of practical skills that students must master in the process of different types of practices are considered. During pedagogical practice, the student-trainee must master the basics of constructive-planning, communicative-teaching, organizational, and research skills and implement them in the conditions of independent work. Algorithms for analysis and self-analysis of lessons of Ukrainian literature are presented. When evaluating a literature lesson, it is necessary to take into account such general didactic criteria as normativeness, organization, the logic of flow, scientific content, optimal methods and techniques, educational content, developmental orientation.

The article discusses the effectiveness of creating a network site as a mechanism to ensure the quality of training, allowing to introduce innovative and practical activities in the educational process, developing the scientific potential of educational institutions, both in secondary vocational education and in institutions of higher professional education.The purpose of the study is aimed at practical training both at the stage of training highly qualified specialists in secondary vocational schools (SVS) and higher education (VO), including through networking.The authors, on the basis of their practical experience, propose to consider the creation of a network site based on educational institutions as a project oriented towards obtaining professions and specialties demanded by the construction industry with the aim of introducing an inventive, creative idea into the process of theoretical and practical training, as well as successful socialization of the younger generation.When performing this work, analysis methods, design method and practice method were used.The main material of the article is the School-College-University-Enterprise network interaction model, which allows educational institutions not only to survive, but also to develop dynamically, flexibly adapting to modern changes in the labor market conditions, the requirements of scientific and technological progress and the state economy. For this purpose, regional network sites are being created on the basis of educational institutions not only for practical training, but also for holding the WorldSkills Russia regional championship. To form a network site, educational institutions should establish business cooperation with potential employer partners, with schools in the city of Penza and the Penza region. The creation of network centers in educational organizations is a social innovation and becomes one of the priorities in the field of modern education.The distance education system in the form of an electronic educational environment, introduced at the Penza State University of Architecture and Construction, enables full-time and part-time students to independently study the necessary part of the material and also remotely (in the form of tests or online dialogue) to carry out self-certification and certification for the disciplines studied . Graduates with a secondary vocational education and enrolled in a higher education institution have an insignificant, but already practical work experience in their specialty, and a certain knowledge base. Interactive capabilities of the electronic educational environment of the university make it possible to obtain the necessary information at a convenient time and in any place (on the construction site during free time from work, etc.) and return to the training material several times. The rich experience of university professors allowed developing the necessary documentation in all areas of training, taking into account the results of scientific research and practical experience.According to the results of the research, the article presents data that allows teachers and students to carry out (during the training and work experience) and improve the graduate’s professional activities, expand the field of knowledge, and also shape the innovative potential of educational institutions. As part of the program to create a regional network site, work is underway to develop and implement mechanisms for the state order for personnel training, to expand the forms and methods that encourage students to achieve high results. In conclusion, it can be noted that network interaction allows to overcome the closeness of institutions of different levels, to carry out cooperation on the rights of partnership, to build strong and effective communication in the preparation of highly qualified specialists.
