In recent years the gap between educational theory and practice has been closing, but although there have been calls for ‘reflexivity’, there has been little critical examination of its meanings. Proposed reflexive methodologies still perpetuate many traditional hierarchies, and fail to consider the creative nature of the educational process as such. Much research work also takes place within the commercial sphere, and post-processual ideas cannot advance educational practice unless they can be implemented in some type of an e-learning system. In our Chapter we examine theoretical considerations of reflexivity, representation, subjectivity and experiential engagement to highlight their relevance to everyday educational practice, and their potential to undermine existing suboptimalities in the classroom.

The article is devoted to the increasing role and prospects for the development of e-learning in modern transformation of higher polytechnic education. In the context of preventing the spread of coronavirus infection COVID-19 and the transition of universities to various forms of distance education, this issue is of particular relevance. The aim of the study is to assess the process of introducing e-learning into the educational process of higher technical educational institutions in Russia. The methodological basis of the work was the analytical and systematic approach to the study of the object of research using methods of data systematization, evaluative analysis and forecasting, as well as logical generalization. The authors come to the conclusion that the introduction of e-learning in technical universities in Russia until recently played a supporting role in the reorganization and optimization of the processes of training engineering personnel. The development of e-learning helped to reduce the costs of the educational process, reduce the number of employees, as well as solve the problem of the classroom fund. An important role in the development of e-learning was played by the desire to increase the rating indicators. The desire to expand non-budgetary sources of funding for modern technical universities and the possibility of implementing new learning models were only additional incentives for expanding the e-learning system. The results of this study can be used in further studying the digitalization of higher education and assessing the prospects for the development of professional training in Russia.

A new world of distance education demands new thinking. Key components to completing the distance educational system requires that institutions determine how the process is designed, delivered, integrated, and supported. Unfortunately, educational administrators tend to view distance education merely as a process of taking existing readings, exercises, handouts, and posting them to the Web. While this approach may seem cost effective, such an approach is not educationally effective. Although the meaningful transition to e-education has just begun, determining measures of effectiveness and efficiency requires innovations in social and political thought beyond the advances in technology. The educational process requires feedback from the professor, from the student, and from the wider community, especially businesses who hire the graduates. As e-learning and higher education reach new heights, they are changing the functions of the university. E-learning changes all the ground rules, including time, distance, and pedagogy. We now have new ways to reach and interact with students, present rich content in courses, and deliver the technologies of the smart classroom to students, wherever they are in the world.

The quality of the distance learning courses is largely influenced by competently prepared educational resources and an effective study support system. One of the possible ways to improve distance learning infrastructure and increase its effectiveness is to extend the architecture of present e‐learning systems by the components for adaptable and sustainable learning. This research work is devoted to developing the service‐oriented distance learning environment adaptable to the user's needs. The proposed adaptable communication environment of distance learning is constructed by integration of new components of communication scenarios generation, adaptable for student's goals, multilayered domain ontology of learning subject and forming intelligent agents’ framework possible. The paper presents the knowledge‐based component architecture of the distance learning system, which enables a better adaptation of learning resources to students. The paper analyses the possibilities of integrating ontology into the e‐learning system. The issues of decomposing ontology into different levels of understanding are discussed in order to adapt to learner's tasks and goals. A conceptual approach is proposed for extending the existing distance learning system architecture by intelligent and deeper knowledge layers.

In recent years the gap between archaeological theory and practice has been closing, but although there have been calls for ‘reflexivity’, there has been little critical examination of its meanings. Proposed reflexive methodologies still perpetuate many traditional hierarchies of power, and fail to consider the creative nature of excavation and post-excavation. Much archaeological work in Britain, Europe and North America also takes place within the commercial sphere, and post-processual ideas cannot advance archaeological practice unless they can be implemented in contract archaeology. This paper examines theoretical considerations of reflexivity, representation, subjectivity and sensual engagement to highlight their relevance to everyday archaeological practice, and their political potential to undermine existing hierarchies of power within commercial archaeology.

This paper analyzes the world sources and considers the evolution of the e-learning system in the world, which are necessary for the formation of the e-learning system of the educational institution. The object of research is modern information pedagogical technologies that change the educational process. Subject of research – various educational technologies (distance, mixed, mobile, micro-) learning that influence the effectiveness of the educational process. The purpose is to identify the main elements that create the global e-learning system and to define the structure of the system for use in educational institutions. It is shown that in the first stage distance courses played the role of delivery of educational materials to the student. The development of web 2.0 technology and the advent of LMS have changed the way we learn. Pedagogical theories, the pedagogical instructional model ADDIE, and the use of Bloom's taxonomy allowed for student collaboration and active communication. The distance learning course is focused on achieving and measuring learning outcomes. In the third stage, all components of the world eLearning system are present: methodical, informational, technological, software and technical, personnel, regulatory, planning and development, monitoring and control. The components of the subsystems are variable in nature. Such a system is the basis for the strategy and tactics of the development of the e-learning system in the educational organization and its structural units. The most important is the planning and development subsystem, which defines the ways of development of the educational organization, the strategy and tactics of development of the e-learning system of the university, the required staff potential and the system of professional development of teachers. For its effective work it is necessary to have trained content curators who follow the most influential content curators of the world. Members of this team provide certification for distance courses in accordance with the organization standard. National Technical University "Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute" conducts systematic work in this area, conducts open distance courses for developers, tutors, content curators and experts for teachers of educational institutions of Ukraine. Developed distance courses that measure the competence of trained professionals ensure high efficiency of dual learning. More than 2,100 teachers of educational establishments of Ukraine have enrolled in the open distance courses, more than 320 teachers have successfully completed the courses.

Education reform that follows the needs of all students, parents and employees in educational institutions would imply goal-oriented action. The practice that promotes a concept focused on the teaching content and which does not even announce the learning outcomes in the pedagogical records confirms that the student is not a subject of the educational process and that there is a possible gap between theory and practice. However, what if we see this realization as a possibility? If we started the analysis of the quality of practice orientations and “from the end,” we would determine the factual role of all those involved in the educational process without, possibly unnecessary, polar orientations “for and against”. The aim of this paper is to examine the orientation of the curriculum present in the practice of educational institutions in order to conclude about the pedagogical discourse as the basis for change. The paper first operationalizes the concepts with regard to the types of curriculum present in educational practice, and then empirically verifies the testing of the set hypotheses. The obtained research results show that all curriculum orientations are equally represented in educational practice; classroom and subject teachers do not differ in the implementation of the educational process according to the type of curriculum and the orientation to learning outcomes and teaching goals contribute to the explanation of the open and closed curriculum. The last part of the paper explains and critically discusses pedagogical discourse as an agent for changes in the field of educational practice quality based on initial reflections on the current focus on competencies as a pedagogical standard. The contribution to the research was given by 113 educators employed in primary schools by providing answers to the created e-Instrument for the purpose of the research.

Thepurposeof the article is to represent changes in the understanding and implementation of the idea of personal agency of schoolchildren inherent in Ukrain-ian pedagogical discourse and actual practice of educa-tion institutions in the XXth century. The above has for-warded the research to the following areas of concern: to establish the dynamics of a cognitive-creative pro-cess of generating and implementing the idea of agency given its philosophical, psychological, educational-po-litical and pedagogical-technological context; to create a general infographic periodization of the development of the idea of agency based on comparing profiles of agency of schoolchildren of the studied period in a particular territory. Methods: To solve the research tasks, the author has used interpretational methods, particularly genesis one, that has made it possible to conclude about the development patterns of the ideaof personal agency in the scientific-pedagogical dis-course and introduced models of schoolchildren’s edu-cation and upbringing; the modelling of the pro-gress of the idea contributes to finding out the logic of its generating and transformation; a discourse-anal-ysis for the identification of a socio-cultural dimension of the agency-related issues in the pedagogical ideas of the XXth century; a comparative analysis to com-pare agency profiles in the defined periods. Results.Development patterns and introduction of the idea of a pupil’s personal agency are studied within three dimensions: philosophical-psychological (methodolog-ical), the coordinate system of which is a civilizational type of personality (classical, modern, postmodern), and society (monarchical, industrial, democratic, infor-mation technology); educational and political, which is rendered on the axes of state reforms and pedagogical (including innovative) schools; pedagogical-techno-logical covering, on the one hand, the content-process aspect of educational, developmental and pedagogical effect of a teacher and, on the other hand, an effec-tive-evaluation aspect of the pedagogical influence represented by new formations of a pupil and changes in the pedagogical situation. Conclusions.A logic of the development of a child’s agency in the domes-tic educational theory and practice of the XXth century is rendered under the framework of shaping visions of agency as a cultural demand of the socio-histori-cal formation, a generic feature of a representative of the civilization, a component of pedagogical ideal, competencies and a specified level of a child’s devel-opment (a social demand for education), a note on his social role as a means of involving the child into the educational process, an opportunity for his self-re-alization. The key trends of the development of the idea of a pupil’s agency concern the changes in socio-his-torical formations and cultural-psychological type of community and psychological type of a personality belonging to a specific epoch, worldviews and educa-tional paradigms, theoretical substantiation of a new pedagogical thesaurus and technology innovations in education institutions. Keyw ords:agency, theoretical-applied knowledge, logic of idea development, determination and transfor-mation of idea, agency profile, educational process. Метою статті є репрезентація закономірних для українського педагогічного дискурсу і реальноїпрактики діяльності закладів освіти ХХ століття змін в осмисленні та втіленні ідеї суб’єктності особистості учнів. Означене зорієнтувало дослідження на такі проблемні напрямки: встановити динаміку когнітивно-креативного процесу генерування та впровадження ідеї суб’єктності з урахуванням її філософського, психологічного, освітньо-політичного та педагогічно-технологіч-ного контексту; створити загальну інфографіку періодизації розвитку ідеї суб’єктності на основі зіставлення профілів суб’єктності учнів досліджу-ваного періоду на окресленій території. Методи.Розв’язування дослідницьких завдань передбачало використання інтерпретаційних методів, зокрема, генезного, що уможливило висновки про закономірності розвитку ідеї суб’єктності особистості в науково-педагогічному дискурсі та впроваджених моделях навчання і виховання учнів; моде-лювання розвитку ідеї, щоб встановити логіку їїгенерування та трансформації; дискурс-аналізу для виявлення соціокультурного виміру суб’єк-тнісної проблематики в педагогічних ідеях ХХ століття; порівняльного аналізу з метою зіставлення профілів суб’єктності у виокремлених періодах. Результати. Закономірності розвитку та впро-вадження ідеї суб’єктності особистості школяра розглянуто в трьох площинах: філософсько-пси-хологічній (методологічній), системою координат якої є цивілізаційний тип особистості (класична, модерна, постмодерна) та суспільства (монархічне, індустріальне, демократичне, інформаційно-тех-нологічне); освітньо-політичній, розгорнутій на осях державних реформ та педагогічних (зокрема, і новаторських) шкіл; педагогічно-технологічній, яка охоплює, з одного боку, змістово-процесний бік навчального, розвивального та виховного впливів педагога, та з іншого – результатно-оцінний бік педагогічного впливу, представлений новоутво-реннями учня та змінами педагогічної ситуації. Висновки. Логіка розвитку ідеї суб’єктності учня у вітчизняній освітній теорії та практиці ХХ століття представлена в межах формування уявлень про суб’єктність як культурну вимогу суспільно-історичної формації, типову ознаку представника цивілізації, складову виховного ідеалу, компетентностей і нормативного рівня розвитку школяра (суспільний запит освіті), припис щодо його соціальної ролі, як засіб залучення учня до освітнього процесу, можливість його особистісної самореалізації. Провідні тенденції розвитку ідеї суб’єктності учня стосуються змін суспільно-історичних формацій і культурно-психологічного типу спільноти та психологічного типу особистості відповідноїепохи, світоглядних позицій та освітніх парадигм, теоретичного обґрунтування нового педагогічного тезаурусу та технологічних інновацій у закладах освіти.Ключовіслова: суб’єктність, теоретико-прикладне знання, логіка розвитку ідеї, детермінація та трансформація ідеї, профіль суб’єктності, освітній процес.
