In the conditions of global competition for human capital and talented specialists, higher education institutions need the changes in the educational process organization with strengthening of the practical component and directing it to integration into the European educational space and innovative development of the economy. The adopted Strategy for the Development of Higher Education in Ukraine should be implemented through the use of new and improved methods and practices (including digital technologies) for teaching, learning and assessment, which should be adapted to European requirements and carried out in close connection with scientific research. Educational institutions should diversify educational offers and update the content of education in order to meet the growing needs for the development of innovative and critical thinking, entrepreneurial and leadership skills, develop flexible educational trajectories based on a student-centered approach. Based on the analysis of the educational process organization at Chernivtsi Institute of Trade and Economics of the State University of Trade and Economics, the most effective innovative teaching methods have been determined, including case method, project method, interactive learning, information and communication technologies which provide fast communications, aimed at preparing students for a full-fledged life and activity under social digitalization. In general, higher education at ChITE SUTE is based on modern teaching methods and approaches that bring academic knowledge closer to economic reality and trains the Institute graduates to master corresponding abilities and skills necessary for entering the labor market and to become those, who are searched for by employers. The use of innovative methods and approaches in the educational process of ChITE SUTE contributes significantly to the improvement of the quality of education and practical training of students, as well as allows identifying the Institute as a modern higher education institution that corresponds to European principles, approaches and practices. The most important directions of further scientific research are the use of innovative approaches during practice and internships directly at enterprises, studying the possibilities of joint implementation of project works, fundamental and research studies, determining the effectiveness of the interaction of higher education institutions and business structures in the implementation of economic topics ordered and agreed upon by enterprises and organizations, etc.

This study aims to reflect teachers' perspectives on the use of innovative and interactive teaching methods (mobile learning and others) and to present the importance of the application of modern teaching methods by first-level teachers (grades 1-5) and second-level teachers (grades 6-9), in the development of student competencies. The research includes the Anamorava Region in Kosovo which covers an area of ​​650 km2 and has about 200,000 inhabitants. Quantitative methods were used to research this issue, while Likert scale questionnaires were used as a tool for measuring teachers' thoughts and attitudes. The research sample consists of 97 teachers working with first and second-level students. The results show that teachers do not use a variety of methods while a number of them state that teaching methods are always in coherence with the age and skills of students. A small number of teachers pay special attention to students' prior knowledge. Based on the general data from the research, I have noticed that teachers do not practice enough modern teaching methods to develop students' competencies and promote their activity and creativity.

ENHANCING STUDENTS’ SPEAKING SKILLS BY USING DIGITAL STORYTELLING IN TEACHING ENGLISH LANGUAGE AT THE UNIVERSITY

The article is dedicated to the method of digital storytelling in teaching the English language to higher education establishments, in particular enhancing students’ speaking ability which is seen as an interaction and social and situation-based activity. The significance of speaking of learners of English as a second (foreign) language is out of doubt whereas it becomes the dominant tool for communication. Therefore, the necessity to teach students to use language as a communicative means rather than to inform them about the language leads educators to implementation of modern teaching methods. Storytelling as a teaching method has been confidently placed within English teachers’ work for the last two decades and recommended as quite effective and handy which assists to reduce students’ psychological barriers to speaking such as anxiety to perform in public and lack of motivation. It is noticed in the article that several constant and traditional story plots (elementary, butterfly effect or groundhog day, Cinderella syndrome, quest, etc.) are well-known and easily recognizable so teachers can use them to create a comfortable learning environment aimed to support learners’ speaking skills and, as such, focused mostly on their development. The fact that storytelling has great potential while digital storytelling integrates the traditional art of oral storytelling with the technology available in the twenty-first-century classroom is highlighted in the article. This facilitates the process of information perception by young people with clip thinking because the visualization attracts their attention and forms interest in one or another topic or discipline in general. Digital storytelling is mentioned as the practice of combining narrative with digital content, including images, sound, and video to create a digital story using online platforms or appropriate software. Digital storytelling might be incorporated in higher education both working offline and during distance or blended learning, either to introduce new material, encourage conversation, and make abstract or conceptual topics easier to understand. Key words: digital storytelling, method, speaking skills, higher education.

A Mixed Study on the School Head's and Teacher's Self-Efficacy and School Performance: An Input for Policy Enhancement for Social Media Learning in the Philippines during the New Normal

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic created a radical transformation in teaching-learning in schools worldwide. This phenomenon challenged the self-efficacy of teachers and school heads in public schools in the Philippines, specifically on how to apply social media learning, which is a new modality. Through a mixed research method, 232 schoolteachers and 26 school heads participated in answering an adopted modified questionnaire; and ten school personnel participated in answering a researcher-made interview guide. The findings showed that profile variables such as age, sex, educational background, and length of service did not significantly correlate with school performance. In contrast, the challenges associated with self-efficacy in terms of educational management, instructional leadership, moral leadership, and application of social media learning tools were all significantly correlated with school performance. This indicated that self-efficacy improves school performance in both teachers and school heads and is influenced by their positive and healthy attitudes. From the qualitative data, the derived themes have implications with economic conditions, knowledge, and skills on the application of technology, transfer of knowledge to students, maintaining coordination, collaboration, and support from educational stakeholders, curriculum design and adherence with educational standards, imposing disciplinary measures, and compliance with school requirements. Officials in the educational setting should consider upgrading policies on personnel capability and capacity building, enhancing professional development, and equipping them with the application of modern teaching methods. All these concepts were considered in a proposed recommendation to the Department of Education, Philippines, for policy enhancement.

In the conclusions, it is noted that in the future, employers should play a more active role in the formation of educational programs, as is customary in the leading countries of the world. In Ukraine, due to the aggression of Russian troops and the destruction caused by them, the further commercialization of medical education may become an important trend for further development.

History of Muslim education reform in imperial Turkestan: preparation of national textbooks and the problems of pedagogy

At the end of the 19 th century, the Turkestan Region became the scene of disputes in the field of school education. The imperial administration created a whole network of Russian schools in the Turkestan Region (gymnasium, progymnasium, military school, Russian-native schools), but the local population continued to use their system of old-method schools. It can be said that during this period, only under the influence of the ideas of the Tatar intelligentsia leader Isma‘il Gasprinsky, the local population also turned to the creation of new-method schools. These educational institutions, which were called “al-jadidiya”, along with the preservation of Muslim elements, were supposed to combine the components of the new ways of modern education.
