ПРОБЛЕМА ПІДГОТОВКИ ДОДАТКІВ ДО ДИПЛОМУ ВИПУСКНИКІВ ЗВО В СУЧАСНИХ УМОВАХ

This work is dedicated to the issue of preparing addendums to diplomas of graduates of higher education institutions. Nowadays, each graduating department independently prepares diplomas and diploma addendums in electronic form to later send them to a printing house where these documents will be printed. Only a small number of higher education institutions have the opportunity to purchase commercial software or have already developed it themselves. All other institutions are forced to work with a large number of paper documents, which need to be converted into electronic form and placed in a state standard higher education document in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On Higher Education." It is for this reason that there is a desire to automate the process of filling out addendums to diplomas.

STRATEGIC COMPETENCE AS A DETERMINANT OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE OF A FUTURE SPECIALIST

The article analyses the research and trends in various literary sources with the aim of identifying new theoretical concepts regarding the essence of strategic competence, with the help of which we can better understand the requirements for strategic competence of specialists to improve the professional training of future specialists. It has been established that the phenomenon of “strategic competence” is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, so defining the essence of this phenomenon primarily involves clarifying the content of such a related concept as “competence”, on the basis of which it is possible to reveal the essence of the concept of “strategic competence” of a person. Competence in the study is considered as an integrative personal formation that combines the acquired knowledge, skills, abilities, experience and personal characteristics that determine the desire, ability and willingness to solve problems and tasks that arise in real life and professional situations. The analysis of the scientific literature has shown that there is a difficulty in defining strategic competence, as it can refer to both the ability to perform tasks and the way people should behave to fulfil their role. Based on the analysis of the structure of professional competence, we conclude that strategic competence is one of its important structural components. Strategic competence exists as part of the professional competence of a specialist of any profile, and should be used when there is a need to find solutions to real or foreseeable problems in professional activities. It is established that it is advisable to distinguish strategic competence as a separate component of professional competence. It is proved that strategic competence is closely related to higher education and the necessary requirements for graduates of higher education institutions. In the course of the analysis, it is found out that the content of the standards of higher education of Ukraine of the first (bachelor’s) level of higher education in various specialties takes into account the need to form strategic competence in future specialists. It is determined that a high level of formation of a specialist’s strategic competence ensures the choice of an effective model of professional behaviour that should meet the conditions of professional activity; planning and development by a specialist of measures to adapt to the conditions of professional activity, including changes in organizational culture; determination of the overall goal of professional activity; implementation of planned actions and operations; implementation of the planned strategy, etc. It is concluded that strategic competence is one of the components of professional competence, which provides solutions to real or foreseeable problems; this high level of formation of the strategic competence of a specialist ensures the choice of an effective model of professional behaviour that should meet the conditions of professional activity; planning and development by a specialist of measures to adapt to the conditions of professional activity, including changes in organizational culture; determination of the overall goal of professional activity; performance of planned actions and operations; implementation of the planned strategy, etc. The conducted research emphasizes the relevance of this issue in today’s conditions and provides prospects for further work on disclosing the essence and structure of the strategic competence of the head of a preschool education institution.

Corpus linguistics in building professional communicative competencies of graduates of higher educational institutions

The purpose of the article is to study the role of corpus linguistics methods in the formation of students’ professional communicative competence. The study used the method of expert evaluation, a method of questionnaire with open questions. There was a change in the minimum score in the experimental group ranging from 50 to 67. Such results are signifi cant and demonstrate the eff ectiveness of the method under consideration. After the experimental training, the value of the criterion was Temp2=4.41, which is higher than the critical value. The practice of creating a corpus at the stage of course planning and selection of educational content has proven its capability and, most importantly, its versatility. The use of both the idea of compiling a subject area corpus and the statistical evaluation of vocabulary is highly eff ective. A scientifi cally based selection of professionally relevant foreign language vocabulary items is eff ective in Teaching a foreign language for any profession. Further research should be aimed at expanding the scope of corpus linguistics in this area.

MODERN METHODOLOGICAL MEANS OF TEACHING GRAPHIC DISCIPLINES FOR FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS

In today's complex social conditions, significant changes are taking place in the system of domestic higher education. High-quality graphic training of graduates of higher educational institutions has been a pressing problem for many decades, so it is necessary to systematically update the existing methodological base and develop effective forms of training. As you know, drawing is the international language of architects and engineers. Working with flat images of spatial objects requires students to have developed spatial thinking already in the first year. In .this study, detailed attention is paid to the review and analysis of existing methodological approaches to the teaching of important classical sections of the discipline "Descriptive Geometry". The trends of improving teaching under the condition of distance learning are also considered, which helps future specialists of creative specialties to increase the level of individual competitiveness in modern market conditions. The purpose of the research is to determine and improve modern methodological tools for teaching graphic disciplines of students of the first course of creative specialties. Our study is related to the scientific research work "Improving the organization of the educational process using distance learning methods and teaching methods of graphic disciplines for students of construction and architectural and art specialties based on the competence approach", which is carried out on the basis of the Department of "Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Graphics" Odessa State Academy of Construction and Architecture (OSACEA) for many recent years. The work uses theoretical and empirical research methods: analysis, classification and synthesis of research base sources, many years of personal teaching experience; diagnostics of students specializing in 191 Architecture and Urban Planning and 023 Fine Arts (observations, monitoring the quality of teaching, self-analysis, etc.). Graphic competencies are very significant for a graduate’s future professional activity, which gives freedom in the creative implementation of the entire design process from the birth of an idea to its implementation.

Managing social intelligence from the perspective of optimising labour market pricing

The objective assessment of their labour value by future employers is a pressing concern for all students and graduates of higher education institutions. Young people frequently overestimate their salary expectations, leading to substandard service provision, or conversely, accept low-paying jobs resulting in emotional burnout due to lack of motivation. The purpose of this study was to identify how students with developed social intelligence assess their earnings prospects during their studies, in the first years after graduation and in adulthood. For this, a survey of students was conducted using the TROMSØ test and specially designed questions that helped to identify the respondents’ subjective assessment of the value of their working time. The study found a statistically significant relationship between social intelligence and labour market pricing. This dependence is particularly pronounced for wage expectations immediately after the graduation (p≤0.01**). However, no correlation was found between social intelligence or its components and ambitions for the level of pay during study. It was found that students are willing to look for part-time work for any financial motivation. As for the level of salary that would fully satisfy them in adulthood, the average salary is three times higher than the minimum wage in Ukraine and equals USD 580. By understanding the level of a person’s social intelligence, one can build an effective hiring system, gaining an additional tool for assessing possible salary ambitions. This will help to optimise the work of the HR department and understand the range of financial incentives needed required to stimulate a particular employee

The Teacher's Role in the Use of E-learning Technologies for English Language Learning in Higher Education: the Neural Impact of Electronic Services on the Student's Brain

The process of globalization affects all areas of the education system, necessitating the correlation of the sphere of professional activity with the requirements for the competence of a modern specialist. Mastering the current information and communication space determines the need to master the unified tool of interaction technologies of e-learning English in higher education institutions. Future graduates of higher education institutions, no matter what field they work in, need skills that promote interaction, implementation of professional self-development. Training highly professional specialists with not only theoretical knowledge and practical skills in their specialty, but also advanced means of communication, electronic platforms, knowledge of a foreign language is fully consistent with the main task of the university. Knowledge of a foreign language contributes to professional culture, creates opportunities to freely navigate in the studied scientific research from the field of knowledge. Higher education professors face the task of not only creating the conditions for learning a foreign language, but also to purposefully motivate students to master it as a necessary competence for carrying out professional activities. The study of a foreign language should be professionally oriented, contribute to the solution of cognitive and communicative needs of students. The article researches the most effective e-learning technologies in English classes in higher education institutions (HEI); defines the role of the teacher when using e-learning technologies of English language in higher education institutions; describes the educational centers and platforms for e-learning; defines the neural influence of electronic services on the brain of the student.

A Study of the Link Between Individual’s Biographical Variables and Propensity for Entrepreneurial Leadership

After graduation, graduates of higher education institutions are faced with a difficult choice: to work for an organisation or to open their own business. A significant role in the decision-making process is played by the personal qualities of the individual, as well as the presence of initiatives in the higher educational institution aimed at fostering among students the desire for their own entrepreneurial activity as an alternative to traditional employment. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that an individual’s propensity for entrepreneurial leadership by starting his own business depends on his biographical data (age, gender, academic level, academic field, race, and nationality). The methodological tools of the research are methods of descriptive, quantitative, and cross-sectional research. The object of the study is a sample of 332 university students in South Africa. The research was carried out in the following logical sequence: at the first stage, 332 respondents − students of a higher educational institution in South Africa – were selected using a random sample. With the help of the answers to the questions, the respondents expressed their attitude towards independent entrepreneurial activity. Data processing and analysis were carried out using SPSS software using descriptive and logical statistics tools. The results of empirical calculations prove the lack of influence of gender, race and entrepreneurial intentions on respondents’ propensity to carry out their own entrepreneurial activities. At the same time, there is a statistically significant difference in the attitude to entrepreneurship depending on the nationality of the respondents, their age and specialty of study: respondents under the age of 24 are more inclined to start their own business, compared to respondents older than 35; South Africans are more likely to start their own business than Zimbabweans. The study empirically confirms and theoretically proves the presence of numerous problems that reduce students’ inclination to entrepreneurial activity as an alternative option for their career development. Based on the results of the research, it was concluded that starting their own business by graduates requires their social support: the government should change tactics and policies regarding the development of entrepreneurship, and higher educational institutions should pay more attention to measures aimed at encouraging students to open their own business. The results of the conducted research can be useful for activating the development of entrepreneurship in developing countries, from the point of view of understanding the motives and attitude of graduates of higher educational institutions to the development of their careers through the implementation of independent entrepreneurial activities.

THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN ENSURING NATIONAL SECURITY: TRAINING OF SCIENTIFIC PERSONNEL FOR THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE

The article deals with the main aspects of training of higher education applicants in higher military educational institutions and scientific institutions of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine. The author analyzes the regulatory framework for the acquisition of professional competence of higher education students in higher military educational institutions and scientific institutions of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine. The national security of Ukraine is an integral part and priority goal of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, which accordingly determines the main factors of stable development of society. Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has created the conditions for the emergence of a hybrid form of warfare using the information space, which has forced the creation of new approaches to ensuring and maintaining the national security of the state. In this case, an important role is played by the training of students to acquire competencies in the development and testing of weapons and military equipment, which in today's conditions requires constant updating. Graduates of higher education institutions and research institutions of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine must take into account the peculiarities of the production of weapons and military equipment in a timely manner in order to ensure the country's defense capability.
 The issue of training applicants in the modern conditions of the modern educational process should focus on the ability to make decisions in martial law and uncertainty. The level of education of students will be higher, the broader the chosen field of knowledge, as well as the ability to design solutions in an uncertain situation, which will allow them to have a wider range of possible decision-making methods. Therefore, raising the level of training of students in military sciences will create the preconditions for further implementation of measures that will ensure the development of personnel in the system of higher military education and increase Ukraine's defence capabilities.

The social effects of higher education in Jordan

Few studies have examined the social effects of higher education. These studies have shown that there are personal and community effects, like low crime rate, greater civic participation, and improved performance across a host of socioeconomic measures. Depending on some and more of the variables or measures of previous studies, the current study tried to determine whether higher education institutions have achieved the goals for which they established, through identifying the social effects of higher education in Jordan, by analysing published data of a group of social variables related to graduates of higher education institutions in Jordan. The study shows that higher education did not show any positive effect across most of the studied variables, such as unemployment, idleness, income, spending behaviour, and family size, which indicates that higher education institutions did not achieved their goals in those aspects, regardless of the reasons behind that.
