Фізичне виховання студентів в університетах на території України у першій половині ХІХ століття

Topicality. Physical education of student youth is an important component of the higher education system of Ukraine. The traditions of the foundation of physical education in domestic universities of the first half of the 19th century have significant scientific and practical potential, therefore they require a more detailed study. The Purpose of the Research is to analyze the development of physical education in universities in the times, when Ukraine was a part of Russian Empire to use valuable historical experience. To solve it, we used a complex of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and special-historical (historical-typological, source-scientific, chronological and historical-systemic) Research Methods. Results and Conclusions. In the first half of the 19th century, physical traіning had the status of «secular» exercises and had an entertaining character. With the appearance of the first universities at the state level, the need for physical and aesthetic education of students was confirmed. In addition to the main subjects, drawing, music, dancing, fencing, horse riding were taught as optional courses. The publications talk about the benefits of gymnastics, which at that time meant any physical exercises from sporting activity. Reputable teachers, many of whom received a European education, provided a high level of student training. Thanks to university teachers from the countries of Western Europe, progressive ideas about the benefits of fencing and horse riding for improving health and developing physical, willful and moral qualities of a young person were brought to the territory of Ukraine. The sports movement was born in the country during this period. The first sports clubs appear in large cities, the initiators of its creation mainly were former students of universities. The first impromptu competitions are held. Significant scientific and scientific-applied work is carried out by university teachers with the aim of spreading physical education, hardening children, young people, and the general population, prevention and treatment of various diseases.

Implementation of the “Strategy Kernel” Concept in the Management of Sumy State University during the Active Phase of the War with Russia

The academic management of Sumy State University during the active phase of hostilities with Russia is characterised by the effective implementation of strategic elements. This became the main factor in the stability of the organisation’s development in critical times, which gives grounds for asserting the expediency of using similar strategic experience by other education institutions of Ukraine. The effectiveness of the strategic activities of Sumy State University, in particular, is confirmed by the increase in the volume of enrolments of citizens for the first course in the 2022/23 academic year by 12.2%, compared to last year, by the stability of the functioning of the finance, infrastructure development and resource provision sectors, which are critical for wartime. The positive dynamics of an organisation’s development in critical times is associated with an understanding of strategy in the context of the classical definition, i.e. a general plan for the implementation of a long-term goal in conditions of uncertainty and change. Of particular importance is the practical use of the “strategy kernel” concept developed by the American scientist Richard Rumelt, which consists of three consecutive elements: “diagnosis”, “guiding policy” and “coherent actions”. “Strategy kernel” is characterised by the attributes of universality and necessity. Therefore, the use of such a concept can become a guarantee of the stability of any organisation, including an education institution. In the form of a functional document, the «strategy kernel» concept was implemented in the Strategic Development Plan of Sumy State University for 2020-2026. The correct diagnosis of the problem of the military threat, other diagnostic aspects presented in the SWOT analysis, provided the basis for determining the “guiding policy” in the parts of the vision, mission, principles and values. “Coherent actions” were reflected in the strategic “roadmap” and, in particular, in the practice of stabilising the organisation’s financial condition during the active phase of the war with the Russian Federation. The analysis of the experience of implementing strategic concepts in the management of higher education institutions of Ukraine during the active phase of the war opens up prospects for improving the higher education system of Ukraine as a whole.

Comparative analysis of the distance learning implementation in Ukrainian system of higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic and martial law

ABSTRACT The pandemic has globally changed the landscape of the educational system in most countries of the world, including Ukraine. Their educational systems have faced massive challenges in distance learning implementation. However, in addition to the destructive impact of the pandemic, Ukraine has a more serious problem in the form of a full-scale invasion by the Russian army. In the conditions of the active phase of the conflict, it is extremely problematic to conduct full-time classes, especially for higher education establishments. Therefore, distance learning technology is of particular importance for Ukraine. This research investigates the situation of distance learning implementation during the COVID-19 pandemic and martial law in Ukrainian system of higher education. Questions regarding the features of the distance learning development in Ukrainian universities and comparative analyses of key aspects of the distance learning implementation within two destructive phenomena (pandemic and war), are raised. The results clarify the historical background of the distance learning development in the Ukrainian system of higher education, general trends and the main problematic aspects of its implementation. The study makes it possible to more comprehensively understand this issue and find the most effective strategy for solving emerging problems.

VR/AR TECHNOLOGIES FOR E-LEARNING

The article is devoted to the analysis of the latest information technologies, the process of virtualization of the world educational space and the introduction of virtual and augmented reality technologies into the educational process of higher education institutions. The relationship between the real and virtual educational environment is identified and characterized. Mastery of modern information and communication technologies (ICT) is a prerequisite for a digital society. Modern students are a network generation for which the electronic way of receiving educational information is a component of their life. ICT has become their usual everyday tool, and e-learning gives them access to global educational resources and improves the quality of the educational process as a whole. In e-education, all educational content is presented only in electronic form. A feature of the development of higher education is the use of the latest advances in ICT and the emergence of a new environment – virtual, which transforms the traditional system of higher education into electronic. In many countries around the world, e-learning has become an integral part of modern education. Ukrainian higher education institutions are also moving towards e-learning as one that aims to acquire in-depth professional competencies and knowledge. Virtual reality technologies challenge researchers to increase access to the practical application of these technologies in solving professional problems. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the feasibility of using the latest digital technologies, namely virtual reality technologies in the educational process of the higher education system of Ukraine. The article uses methods of application of the latest digital technologies, namely virtual reality technologies in the educational process of the higher education system of Ukraine. The main feature of the digital space is its unique opportunities for communication, self-expression and self-determination. The Internet activity of higher education students is accompanied by a number of motives, goals, needs, attitudes, phenomena, knowledge associated with this new environment.

Higher education in the crisis period: A comparative analysis of the Ukrainian experience of online or blended TEFL during the pandemic and the war

The article is dedicated to the problem of teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) in higher education during the crisis period by an example of a Ukrainian experience of teaching during the pandemic and the war. In the beginning, the research focused only on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the TEFL at tertiary schools in Ukraine. However, after the outbreak of the war on the territory of Ukraine on 24th February 2022, it became clear that the experience could be extrapolated to the conditions of other crises, in particular, to the conditions of armed aggression. This article uses mixed quantitative and qualitative comparative methods to analyze the survey results of educators' attitudes toward online and blended learning. The blind questionnaire was held in May 2021 and then repeated in February 2023. The participants (n=70, n = 69) were representatives of about 50 higher education institutions (HEI) from all over Ukraine. The research is a case study with context-dependent knowledge; however, it may be with some reservations relevant to other countries under similar conditions. The instrument included 10 questions related to the participant's previous experience of online teaching, reflections on the most difficult elements of online teaching, advantages and disadvantages of online teaching, and types of learning activities that can easily be adapted and transferred into online mode of learning. The questionnaire also covers the role of a teacher in online learning, the overall assessment of the experience of online learning and preferences of the mode of teaching which the teachers would like to preserve. The structure of the questionnaire included 4 multiple-choice single-answer questions and 6 multiple-choice multiple-answer questions. Answers from the two polls of respondents were then compared using Fisher's correlation coefficient to prove the statistical significance of the received data. The results of the questionnaire have shown that the majority of participants (61 %; 42%) think that implementation of blended learning is the best option to use in the universities, thus presenting a need to the higher education system of Ukraine to develop and introduce blended learning curricula.

PECULIARITIES OF THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FUTURE PHYSICAL CULTURE TEACHERS AND TRAINERS IN THE CONDITIONS OF DISTANCE EDUCATION

In the article the modern challenges faced by the higher education system in Ukraine due to the pandemic and Russian military aggression are analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of implementing distance education in the conditions of modern emergency and crisis situations in the country are presented. Particular attention is devoted to the description of the advantages and disadvantages of the professional training of higher education students of the specialties 014 Secondary Education (Physical Culture) and 017 Physical Culture and Sports in the conditions of distance learning. Attention is focused on the fact that despite all the benefits of the distance learning system, future physical culture teachers and trainers do not have the opportunity to qualitatively master the rational technique of movements from various sports. Despite access to video materials with a demonstration of the reference technique for performing the exercise as a whole and its individual elements, students have limited opportunities for its high-quality consolidation and practice. When students independently study the technique of movements, the teacher does not always can correct technical errors and provide meaningful methodical recommendations, which as a result can lead to the formation of stereotypically incorrect movements of the students of the specified specialties when performing certain exercises. In this context teachers of practice-oriented disciplines are recommended to actively use modern digital technologies and other forms of digital technologies in their work, which allow correcting errors in the execution of exercise techniques and monitoring the physical activity of each student in real time. Despite a few shortcomings of the distance learning system, it remains the only alternative and safe form of obtaining higher education in Ukraine and an effective tool for realizing the constitutional right of the citizens to obtain education and professional qualifications.

TRANSFORMATION OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN MODERN CONDITIONS

The replacing of world civilization and Ukrainian society in particular played a significant role in the evolution of medical education in Ukraine. The system of higher education simultaneously affects the development of the future generation of doctors and is a remarkable social institution. That is why, the role of the system of higher medical education in difficult periods of the state’s development and proposed ways to innovate and optimize the scientific potential of students of higher medical education was analyzed.
 The aim of the study. The aim of the study is to analyze the current trends of transformational changes in the field of medical education and to propose ways to optimize the scientific potential of students of higher medical education.
 Objects and methods of the study include the system of medical education at the Higher Secondary School of the PSMU in various periods of its formation and development.
 Results and discussion. During our research, an analysis of modern trends in the development of medical education in Ukraine by studying well-known literary data was performed. The basis of own research is: quantitative analysis and synthesis (for the study of the higher education system of Ukraine); comparative analysis (to highlight the peculiarities of the functioning of the system of higher medical education in the conditions of modern challenges).
 Studying the system of higher education of Ukraine, it pays attention to the fact that the entire period of its development was accompanied by certain tests that prompted the transfer of the educational process to online format. At the same time, it should be noted that students are most often concerned with the following problems: poor or no Internet 30.2% of respondents; complex emotional state and psychological problems of higher education applicants 25.9; absence or lack of gadgets for learning 12.1%; a higher education student does not accept distance learning 10% of respondents; 9.2% of respondents noted that they were able to join distance learning partially or only for a certain period. Most of the higher education seekers who pointed out this problem lived in the Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv and Luhansk regions before the war; absence or partial distance learning happened to 2.5% of respondents, who for a certain period, namely at the beginning of the war, should not have been able to join the training at all; 2.0% faced the problem of studying during their stay abroad.
 Analyzing the transformational changes that have occurred in our state, one can safely say that the social and medical conditions in which the society found itself have caused many problems in the field of medical education. There is an urgent need to solve the strategy, content, structure, methods of teaching, education and formation of views.

THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF FORMING AND EVALUATING THE QUALITY OF HIGHER EDUCATION

The article summarizes the theoretical foundations of the formation and assessment of the quality of higher education. It is established that the higher education system of Ukraine is aimed at performing a number of functions: professional-economic, social, cultural-humanistic, political-ideological. The main indicators of the quality of education are determined: knowledge, skills, skills; emotional, volitional, motivational spheres of the individual, the level of development of cognitive and other interests and needs, the degree of moral, aesthetic, physical, environmental development, as well as the assimilation of the content of the subject, the degree of abstraction in the presentation of the content of the material. It is proved that the determination of education as a market category is influenced by a number of determining factors of this sphere: the presence of non-state educational institutions; the provision of commercial services of higher education in a number of areas of training; commercialization of educational services; consideration of educational services from a new perspective: not only as a social good, but also as an economic category; strengthening the role of the state as a regulatory body due to the deterioration of the quality of this type of service; the need to achieve a balance of requirements and expectations for the quality of training of personnel of all interested market parties, etc.
 The content of the category "quality of Higher Education Services" is clarified as the correspondence of the set of characteristics of educational activities and scientific and technological development of higher education institutions to the strategic goals of the development of the state’s higher education system and the development strategy of higher education institutions.
 The analysis of the state of the higher education services market allowed us to identify modern vectors of development of domestic higher education, formulate a range of problems in this area, determine the likely risks of
 the higher education system for the development of a number of measures aimed at improving the quality of higher education services and leveling the negative consequences of the external environment on the educational services market. However, in recent years, there has been a tendency to shift priorities towards meeting the needs of stakeholders in the level of quality of higher education services.

The article reveals the essence and content of the administrative and legal grounds for the quality assurance of higher education in military institutions through the following characteristics: the goal, which is to guarantee the capabilities of the defense forces to implement the military policy of Ukraine and participate in the NATO joint operations (combats); main directions ‒ compliance with the requirements of the quality assurance system of higher education in Ukraine and NATO quality standards; subjects of public administration: the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine; Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine; National Agency for Quality Assurance of Higher Education; Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine (Headquarters of the National Guard of Ukraine, Administration of the State Border Service of Ukraine), Security Service of Ukraine, State Security Office of Ukraine, State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine; administrative and legal instruents, which consist of external quality assessment procedures common to the higher education system in Ukraine (standardization, licensing of educational activities, educational programs accreditation, institutional accreditation) and additional quality assessment procedures in higher military educational institutions (licensing of educational programs, institutional audit of professional military education); administrative and legal norms aimed at streamlining relations between subjects of public administration and military institutions on the quality assurance of higher education issues. The peculiarities of up-to-date administrative and legal instruments of the quality assurance of higher education in military institutions are determined in comparison with the external quality assessment procedures of the higher education system in Ukraine and institutional accreditation in NATO.

Зміст професійної підготовки фахівців із прикладної лінгвістики в системі вищої освіти України

The article discusses professional training in applied linguistics in the higher education system of Ukraine. Much emphasis is placed on the content characteristics of such training. Its aim is to analyze and justify the content of professional training in applied linguistics in the higher education system of Ukraine. As one can see, linguistic globalization and internationalization of applied linguistics, as well as the rapid development of ICT, create the need for specialists who can design effective algorithms and methods of processing automatic text, creating automated and machine translation technologies, conducting research activities related to the skillful use of information systems. In Ukraine, linguistics is viewed as a discipline studied within the framework of philology, rather than as an independent specialty/specialization, which, in turn, significantly slows down its development and narrows its scientific potential. The specialization «Applied Linguistics» reveals the specifics of linguistics/applied linguistics, updates current demands of science and helps adjust professional training in applied linguistics to relevant standards of leading countries. A detailed analysis of corresponding university curricula shows that the content of degree programmes in applied linguistics involves mastering natural-scientific, professional-practical, humanities-related and socio-economic courses, courses chosen by each university independently, as well as optional courses. The content of degree programmes in applied linguistics is structured based on linguistic, translation-oriented, literary and combined approaches. Further research lies in studying the features of blended learning in applied linguistics in the leading countries of Europe. Keywords: linguistics, philology, applied linguistics, professional training, higher education.
