Статья основана на обобщении результатов проведенного исследования читательского выбора молодежной аудитории. В исследовании (2019-2021 гг.) приняли участие студенты, обучающиеся в гуманитарных университетах России и Казахстана – всего исследованием были охвачены читательские предпочтения 138 студентов. В опросах, интервью, беседах внимание сосредоточивалось на выборе студентами предпочтительных, привлекательных для них текстов, на определении наиболее интересных для них качеств художественного мира писателя, на отношении к образам литературных героев. Язык художественного произведения открывает читателю образно переданное знание о мире, проведенные в рамках исследования опросы показывают активную поддержку у студентов такого качества личности, как экологическое сознание. Возможно, именно это качество можно назвать своеобразным ключом к пониманию эпохи, некую «метафору современности». В статье представлен алгоритм работы с текстами современной прозы в образовательном процессе студентов-гуманитариев, осваивающих пути проникновения в глубину авторского замысла. Определено, что освоение современной прозы создает возможности для всестороннего творческого роста, формирования эстетического вкуса, готовности к подлинно творческому чтению. Все это, в совокупности, позитивно влияет на формирование критического мышления, расширение культурного кругозора, обеспечивает устойчивость ценностных позиций студенческой молодежи. The article is based on the generalization of the results of the study of the reader's choice of the youth audience. The study (2019-2021) involved students studying at the humanitarian universities of Russia and Kazakhstan -in total, the study covered the reading preferences of 138 students. In surveys, interviews, and conversations, attention was focused on the choice of preferred texts that were attractive to them by students, on determining the qualities of the writer's artistic world that were most interesting to them, on their attitude to the images of literary heroes. The language of a work of art reveals to the reader a figuratively transmitted knowledge about the world. The surveys conducted within the framework of the study show active support among students of such a personality quality as ecological consciousness. Perhaps it is this quality that can be called a kind of key to understanding the era, a kind of "metaphor of modernity". The article presents an algorithm for working with texts of modern prose in the educational process of humanities students mastering the ways of penetrating into the depth of the author's intention. It has been determined that the development of modern prose creates opportunities for all-round creative growth, the formation of aesthetic taste, and readiness for truly creative reading. All these features, taken together, have a positive effect on the critical thinking development, broadening the cultural outlook, and ensures the stability of the value positions of student youth.

The article raises the problem of assessing and forming universal competencies in higher education - complex constructs that are associated with a person's success in various professional and living areas. Based on the analysis of the experience that the world community has accumulated in the field of assessing universal competencies, we considered Evidence-Centered Design (a method of evidence-based argumentation) as a promising approach to assessing them. The problem of assessing universal competencies is directly related to the issues of their formation and implementation in the educational process. The example of critical thinking demonstrates the difficulties and challenges that the educational community faces along the way. The article concludes with a section on the opportunities offered to universities by assessing universal competencies.

The Covid-19 virus pandemic, declared in 2020 by the World Health Organization, has a very large impact on banking business around the world. The most significant problem is the growth of credit risk and the huge growth of demand for liquid assets. The crisis has also increased the risks associated with the digitalization of banking business and brought new risks posed by the work of employees from home. The timely reaction of regulatory authorities, at the global level, and the willingness of the monetary and fiscal authorities of all countries to cooperate have shown a very positive effect on the stability of the banking system.

The article is devoted to objectifying the consequences of the emergency transition to distance education in universities and the global decline in academic mobility during the 2020 pandemic through the prism of active implementation of the methodology of success and excellence in education. The author highlighted the current trends in education by the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century: increasing inequality in the education system; the predominance of the idea and methodology of success and excellence; a stable division into global and regional; the replacement of the model of internalization of values with the model of knowledge generation; refusal of targeted state subsidies in favor of self-financing; precarization of the middle teaching class; demonstration of the superiority of digital solutions in the translation of knowledge; creation of outsourcing chains of interaction in the educational sphere (research centers – universities, universities – commercial publishing houses, schools – career guidance centers, universities – online plaftorms, etc.). The article analyzes the aspects of changes in the modern model of higher education, taking into account the desire to position universities in the world educational rankings. The basis for a discussion of the choice of development priorities has been formed, taking into account the growing dissatisfaction of teachers with the need to match the model of success and excellence in their educational and scientific activities. It was found that pre-pandemic trends in education were multidirectional, and their impact on education systems and learning models (global or regional) was more stimulating for development, rather than mandatory for survival. The crisis has divided the manifestations of the new into two components: necessary renewal and sufficient improvement to ensure stability. It is noted that education is characterized by a fairly conservative approach to the organization of the educational process, so the extreme transition to distance learning during the pandemic actually replaced the evolutionary period of transformation of education, which would have lasted for more than one decade. Academic mobility, which has become widespread in the world, but which was forced to temporarily stop its activity during the pandemic, in the new conditions can continue to contribute to improving the ranking of universities, but can also carry threats of precarization to their working teachers and become a source of social tension, which should be taken into account when developing university development programs in the context of universal digitalization. Conclusions are drawn about trends have been tested by the pandemic reality, which will determine the vector of future development of higher education. Acknowledgements.

Among the skills that modern people need for self-realization there are creativity, critical thinking, communication with people, working with information, computer literacy, striving for self-improvement, flexibility, openness to innovations. To navigate the turbulent flow of information, each individual needs developed critical thinking. Critical thinking skills should be developed and refined right from the school desk, from the early school age. Children are open to innovations. These qualities should be used to their maximum potential in the educational process. The article presents separate methods for the development of critical thinking, which a primary school teacher can use in teaching process of the subject "I am in the World". Specific examples of using the Aquarium methods are presented: "Fish bone", "Six hats" and others at the lessons in the 3rd form of comprehensive schools. The emphasis is made on the importance of students’ critical thinking, which promotes orientation towards success in activity, self-realization and self-development. Mastering the strategies of critical thinking development is considered as an important task of educational systems in many countries of the world, including Ukraine. Critical thinking is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. Facilitating its development in students requires a teacher of high professionalism. In this situation attention should be paid to the systematic and thorough study of the theory and methodology of teaching, the experience of using various strategies of other teachers, methodologists, accumulation of their own experience. There are a lot of methods for the development of critical thinking. Each of them has its own specifics, structure, stages (although it is not forbidden to make certain adjustments, taking into account the age of pupils, the studied subject). Proper use of such methods in the course "I am in the World”, which is interdisciplinary and shapes the outlook of students, will help the primary school teacher to teach children to think independently, to see and evaluate the problem, to look for several possible solutions, to make decisions and to interact effectively with others.
