The article explains the concepts of literacy and functional literacy. The concept of "literacy" is widely studied, its meaning is revealed. To explain the contemporary meaning of literacy, it is necessary to look at historical changes in the concept of literacy. However, it focuses not on the process of changing the concept of literacy, but on the modern meaning of literacy, based on the concept of literacy presented in various materials. The importance of functional literacy in the modern education system is explained. The article highlights the specifics of education and training on the formation of functional literacy. Functional literacy is a measure of a person's ability to interact with the external environment and the level of the ability to adapt and communicate with this environment as quickly as possible. Thus, functional literacy consists of a set of knowledge, skills and abilities that are considered necessary for a person to live in a particular cultural environment and ensure his social interaction. And in a broad sense, this is not just a way to get into the world of 4 skills and knowledge, it is an indicator of the cultural and social development of a nation, country or group of people. From the point of view of such a qualitative nature, functional literacy is used as a mechanism for personal development.

Personality Construct

The perception of one’s own identity is one of the basic moments of a personality construct as they relate to how people act; perceive the world around and with what social they identify themselves. While immersed in an alien culture these perceptions transform. The authors aimed to examine differences in selfimages of the Russian-speaking emigrants before and after emigration. Our hypothesis implies significant differences in self-image upon immersing in another cultural environment. The objective we set resides in identifying aspects of selfimage exposed to transformations and the degree of these changes. For data accumulating before and after the process of international migration with a period of 14 months, we exploited M. Kuhn and T. McPartland’s test “Who am I?” The data demonstrated statistically significant differences in the respondents’ self –image in the course of adaptation. The results allow us to conclude that with a changing social situation self-perception also most alternations exhibit those aspects of selfimage through which the respondents interacted with a host-country population. We believe that self-image presents a hierarchically organized, complex, and dynamic structure with the core and the periphery. The components of self-image can rebuild itself in response to a situation of social interaction.

The article is devoted to the problem of formation of creative abilities and cognitive interests of students. The main directions of development of the creative person according to the social needs of the present are considered. It is noted that creative activity becomes a form of knowledge of the material-objective world; identifies personality possibilities, new ways of one’s personal development. Therefore, the problem of developing the creative abilities of students in the course of educational and cognitive activity is of an exceptional relevance. The author believes that influencing the organization of creative activity is possible only under certain conditions, in particular: to conduct classes in an atmosphere of mutual understanding and co-creation, perceiving each student as a person; to give preference to the dialogical form of conducting classes, when students have an opportunity: to think independently, to make suggestions, to defend their own point of view, presenting their own arguments; it is advisable to create situations of choice at classes and to enable students to carry it out. The author notes that the observance of certain organizational and methodological conditions can significantly contribute to the development of creative potential of students, namely: the creative vision of the world through the systematic organization of work with students; development of creative values through the proper level of teacher's teaching skills; deepening the perception of the world picture through the integration of various types of students’ creativity, works of art and their figurative reproduction in their own creative activity; individual peculiarities of perception and emotional attitude through the use of the educational potential of the family, organization of creative activity. When performing creative tasks the individual characteristics of students to select the material of the appropriate level of complexity must be taken into account. The article examines the examples of students' creativity during the European Cultures Festival, debates and clubs on the basis of the Kryvyi Rih National University.

Social Creativity

Modern problems of the socio-humanistic sciences, including the interaction of structure/ agency, the ways and forms of both personal development and socio-cultural changes, the transformation of the value status of a social ego, the reinterpretation of its contribution to the creativeness of society require substantial amendments to the definitions and methodology of socio-humanistic research. In order to achieve this goal, the article considers one of the basic concepts of European philosophy, transcending from the point of view which differs from generally accepted. The singularity of the author’s approach is the social notion of this concept and the identification of its integrating capabilities regarding to semantically close concepts and terms of social theory of the 20th – 21st centuries. To reach these objectives, a comparative analysis of the concepts of social transcending and the concepts of action creativity (H. Joas), fabulation (A.-T. Tymieniecka), signification (P. Berger, T. Luckmann), noting (J. Alexander), metalanguage (R. Barthes), agency (E. Giddens et al.) was treated. Social transcending is as intentional and creative as human action. However, the first concept, besides, is intersubjective, communicative and teleological. As a fabulation, social transcending raises a person by means of functioning of many sociocultural practices, above the world of mundanity. However, in fabulation the mechanism of such exaltation is a artistic and aesthetic experience, while in social transcending all the interests peculiar to human beings are used: cognitive, ethical, religious, etc. Signification involves the individually-personal and sign-symbolic aspects of social transcending, its everyday and non-everyday levels, being one of the significant ways of social transcending. Noting and metalanguage also embody the options of signifying of social transcending; by means of agensy its dynamism is revealed. The author comes to the conclusion that the generic conceptual-substantive basis of the analyzed concepts is social transcending, which «incorporates» the most important processes of social creativity.

Social Challenge

From a communicative point of view, modern education is a social challenge due to social interaction based on communication influences that go beyond the modern education system. In the context of changes taking place in various modern social processes that affect the formation and development of a personality, the study, identification and application of the new potential of upbringing is of particular importance. The article presents the features of education in the formal and informal educational spheres. The article discusses the methodological basis for studying the upbringing process and considers the problem that the upbringing process takes place not only in the target education system, but also spontaneously, and can be controlled voluntarily and with unpredictable consequences. Based on this, the need to study the technique of visualization of education is revealed, and the question of observing various applications of the visualization of education, especially in the field of public communication, is raised.

The World

From the mid 1950s through roughly the 1980s, some or many children and youth of the Socialist Yugoslavia, especially those of us in Belgrade, the capital, lived in a curious, almost surreal “window” in the space and time. This surreal window of space-time, offered to children and youth of Yugoslavia, unprecedented opportunities for personal development, exposure to the classic cultures and the newest events in the cultural worlds from all over the world, freedom of speech, gathering, activism and opportunities to travel and interact with a multitude of people of the world who came to Yugoslavia.  Such special window in time and space sounds impossible to believe, all the more, in the light of the subsequent brutal and bloody civil wars of the 90s in which Yugoslavia perished. And yet, for many of us this window in time and space did exist! It was a product, I think, of several paradoxical tensions that may have created unprecedented loopholes in the fabric of an otherwise authoritarian and often brutal regime that had its ugly underside in suppression of any actions and words which would be critical of the ruling regime and its leaders.One could arguably say, that, when I talk about this curious, surreal time, I talk from a point of view that can only belong to the children of the privileged: children of the high officers of the Communist party, of the Belgrade political, intellectual, cultural and economic elite. Of course, in many ways, I cannot escape, some of the privileged vistas of my own background – as no one can entirely escape the bent of their own lives. However, my privileged view comes from being among the intellectual elite of Belgrade, rather than the political elite. But my views were also based on the experiences of “ordinary” others which I shared in the everyday ways of life in which I was not segregated from everyone else: my neighbors, school mates, people I met in various other gathering places. In this auto-ethnographic essay, I explore a uniqueness of my Socialist Yugoslav childhood, where a lot of children and youth lived as if in a golden cage. This golden cage had an internal reality that was in many ways protective of our wellbeing. In this reality we experienced freedoms, stood for justice, had many opportunities to participate in cultural clubs, art studios, musical bands, poetic societies, sports clubs, summer and winter camps, etc. At the same time, the world that surrounded us, and even in many ways created our childhoods, was harsh, often brutal and did not hold any of the high ethical principles and values that we believed and lived in.

And Training

The level of awareness and acceptance of the need to enhance volume and intensity of investment in education and in-house training is increasing. This phenomenon stems from the following facts: the aging of the European societies; an intense technological and organizational progress; and a noticeable process of extension of the scope and length of professional and personal development and activity; accompanied with employees' expectations for better quality of life. The increase in the level of acceptance of the need for increased investment in education and training of employees is accompanied by new challenges, including, in the first place, the need to redefine the approach to investment in training and to the evaluation of its results. The „High-Efficiency‟ point of view, alongside the assessment of the advisability of investment in education and training within a company, raises the need to move away from the traditional system of input oriented financing (i.e. financing resources) and to move towards output oriented funding (i.e. financing results). In other words, instead of paying for teaching, companies want to pay for teaching results. This means that the companies which finance education and training, rise - in the process of assessing the training results – fundamental questions about the improvement of the efficiency of the company; and how an increase in the qualifications of workers facilitates the achievement of organizational objectives. On the other hand, the training results assessment from the participant‟s point of view includes a question about the efficiency of the supplier of educational and training programs, and whether the supplier is able to achieve the promised results. The existing business reality is that the efficiency and effectiveness assessments often do not go beyond the survey measuring the level of satisfaction and self-esteem of the participants. This, in turn, causes a visible quantitative pressures, accompanied by insufficient care for quality and inability to use modern techniques to measure the impact of education and training on business performance. As a result, many entrepreneurs treat the investment in training and education of their employees solely as an expense and a disruption of operations. This is due to the fact that managers do not see a direct effect of the investments on the performance of the company. In addition, managers fear possible hazards in the form of expense claims; loss of trained personel to competitors‟ companies, or excessive self-empowerment of the employee. The study is devoted to presentation and discussion of modern techniques measuring the effectiveness of investment in education and training. The list of methods includes an analysis based on objectives, the targeted evaluation, systemic evaluation, judicial evaluation, and assessment prior to the program.

The article highlights the problem of forming key competencies in students in physics lessons with the help of cross-cutting concepts of physics using a bilingual approach. As a result of theoretical research and structural and logical analysis of the course of physics in general secondary education, the number of concepts that students must master while studying physics. The article also highlights the features of the conduct of physical concepts that form in students the worldview and a holistic picture of the world, why certain phenomena occur in nature. It tells about the importance of these concepts and the ability to use them for critical thinking and analysis. As a result of our research, we have proposed elements for improving the methodology of teaching cross-cutting concepts in physics. The article contains a table of some basic cross-cutting concepts in physics, with which you can use the bilingual approach. Conducting cross-cutting concepts using a bilingual approach expands the teacher's ability to organize the teaching of physics and provides an opportunity to increase the cognitive activity of students. Using cross-cutting concepts based on the bilingual approach throughout the course of physics in ZZSO, the teacher prepares a successful graduate who is able to use foreign research, various scientific and information resources for their development and further study. Bilingual education is recognized as a necessary component of the modern education system, which is a powerful tool for personal development since school years. Its implementation contributes to the growth of self-awareness, expanding the worldview of students. The conducted research and the used methods show that conducting cross-cutting concepts with the help of bilingual approach enables the teacher to form key competencies of students.

Pedagogical Goal

Введение. Проведен анализ понятий «условие» и «педагогические условия», выявлены и обоснованы педагогические условия воспитания гражданских качеств подростков средствами ВФСК ГТО с учетом выделенных компонентов гражданских качеств подростков. Цель – выявить педагогические условия воспитания гражданских качеств подростков средствами комплекса ГТО. Материал и методы. Материалом исследования послужили теоретические и эмпирические исследования, посвященные гражданскому воспитанию и педагогическим условиям воспитания. Анализ исследований помог уточнить ряд педагогических терминов и теоретически обосновать выявленные педагогические условия. Результаты и обсуждение. Термин «условие» является общенаучным, однако в зависимости от отрасли научного знания рассматривается с разных позиций (философской, психологической, педагогической), в этой связи «педагогические условия» трактуются учеными по-разному, однако функция педагогических условий остается неизменной – влияние на развитие, обучение и воспитание личности. Учитывая тот факт, что педагогические условия являются специально созданными, предлагается рассматривать их с точки зрения повышения эффективности процесса развития, воспитания и обучения личности. Педагогические условия, направленные на повышение эффективности процесса воспитания гражданских качеств подростков средствами комплекса ГТО, делятся на три группы с учетом выделенных компонентов воспитания гражданских качеств подростков: первая группа – это педагогические условия, которые отражают характеристику аксиологического компонента воспитания гражданских качеств подростков средствами комплекса ГТО; вторая группа – педагогические условия, отражающие характеристику когнитивного компонента воспитания гражданских качеств подростков средствами комплекса ГТО; третья группа – педагогические условия, которые отражают характеристику деятельностного компонента воспитания гражданских качеств подростков средствами комплекса ГТО. Заключение. Анализ научно-методической литературы по проблеме воспитания гражданских качеств подростков показал, что для повышения эффективности достижения поставленной педагогической цели обязательным фактором является создание конкретных педагогических условий, позволяющих в полной мере реализовать модель воспитания гражданских качеств подростков средствами комплекса ГТО. Introduction. The author analyzes the concepts of «condition» and «pedagogical conditions», identifies and justifies the pedagogical conditions for the education of civil qualities of adolescents by means of the GFSK GTO, taking into account the selected components of civil qualities of adolescents. Aim and objectives: to identify the pedagogical conditions for the education of civil qualities of adolescents by means of the GTO complex. Material and methods. The research material is theoretical and empirical research on civic education and pedagogical conditions of education. The analysis of the research helped to clarify a number of pedagogical terms and theoretically justify the identified pedagogical conditions. Results and discussion. The term «condition» is a General scientific term, but depending on the branch of scientific knowledge it is considered from different positions (philosophical, psychological, pedagogical). In this regard, «pedagogical conditions» are interpreted by scientists in different ways, but the function of pedagogical conditions remains unchanged-the influence on the development, training and upbringing of the individual. Taking into account the fact that pedagogical conditions are specially created, we will consider them from the point of view of increasing the effectiveness of the process of personal development, education and training. Pedagogical conditions aimed at improving the effectiveness of the process of educating civil qualities of adolescents by means of the GTO complex, we divide into three groups, taking into account the selected components of educating civil qualities of adolescents: the first group is pedagogical conditions that reflect the characteristics of the axiological component of educating civil qualities of adolescents by means of the GTO complex; the second group of pedagogical conditions, reflecting the characteristics of the cognitive component of the education of civil qualities of adolescents by means of the GTO, the third group – pedagogical conditions, which reflect the characteristics of the action component of the education of civil qualities of adolescents by means of the GTO. Conclusion. The analysis of scientific and methodological literature on the problem of restoring civic qualities of adolescents has shown that to increase the effectiveness of achieving the set pedagogical goal, a mandatory factor is the creation of specific pedagogical conditions that allow to fully implement the model of educating civic qualities of adolescents by means of the complex GTO.

The study analyzes the relation between religion and art in the world, and in Slovak modernist literature. It also examines religion and art from the point of view of its scholarly reception in the context of European literature. It builds on the division of artists of religious orientation based on Bernhard Rang’s two types:a) Claudelian and b) Green-ian. A part of the study provides new insights into Slovak literary modernism. Despite the expectation that modernism would exclude Christian works of literature, the opposite happened:modernism tested Christian works of art and emphasized their ability to capture the subtle aspects of human existence. In this way, a weakness of modernism was exposed: its degenerative function when it focuses only on material aspects. A historical overview has shown that Slovak intellectuals were used to living in an alternative cultural environment and nurturing an alternative culture. This experience proved useful to them in the 20th century, particularly after 1945. During communist rule, the underground church played a major role in Poland and in Slovakia. In Slovakia, Catholic dissidents were of great importance to the developments that led to theVelvet Revolution in November 1989.
