Abstract The necessity for the development and restructuring of pharmacists’ training programs to correspond their increased practical role in society has been substantiated. It has been determined that Canada for the last decade has introduced a lot of changes concerning enhancement of pharmacists’ training, among which the following are of special interest: fulfillment of the training with a strict accordance with the accreditation standards, selective admission to colleges of pharmacists, assessment of students’ critical thinking and teaching methods, improvement of courses content delivery, interprofessional cooperation, development of practical experimental education, clinical rotations programs, mentoring programs etc. It has been defined that accreditation standards for pharmacists’ training in Canada reflect professional and educational attributes that intend to develop practicing, clinical, patient-focused pharmacists. They outline that pharmacy education of high quality depends on multiple components, including general knowledge, basic and professional sciences, and professional practice experience. The pharmacy curriculum is expected to embrace the scope of contemporary practice responsibilities as well as emerging roles that ensure the rational and safe use of drugs in the individualized care of patients. In the research it has been found out that admission of students to pharmacy colleges is organized so that to select students possessing inborn leadership skills and those of decision making. A number of techniques and tests for admission have been analyzed. Teaching strategies of theory in practice, critical thinking, clinical reasoning, inference and decision-making, which are widely used in Canadian pharmacy education, have been characterized. It has been stated that professional cooperation between medical and pharmacy students in Canada is an approach to health protection aimed at the patient and is team-based. It underlines one’s strengths and skills related to health care provision and should be taken into account. Clinical experimental rotations are one more approach that should be taken into consideration by Ukrainian educators and legislators (early involvement of students to establishments for taking care of patients and rotations of both senior and junior students when the former mentor the latter).

Abstract The importance of the research related to the existence of collaborative learning in higher education for Latinos, specifically pre-service teachers, has been substantiated. It has been defined that while teacher retention rates for Latinos are lower than for whites, using teamwork in the classroom might make Latinos teaching more rewarding. Most participants in the present study preferred collaborative learning as teachers. Using cognitive- and social-constructivist frameworks, the authors provide trends expressed by 371 undergraduate pre-service teachers about traditional tests and cooperative culminating experiences. Since archival data from regular collaborative pedagogies over a 10-year period have been used, the authors did not include identifying information. However, about 96 % of undergraduates are first-generation Latino/college students. Students’ responses to end-of-course surveys have been analyzed. The two major qualitative themes emerging from grounded theory analysis were social interaction and the cognitive domain. Quantitatively, most preferred group presentations over traditional exams. Statistically significant correlations between Variables 1 (perceived retention of material) and 2 (preferred culminating experience as future teachers), Variables 1 (perceived retention of material) and 3 (culminating experience for an easy A), and Variables 2 (preferred culminating experience as future teachers) and 3 (culminating experience for an easy A) have been found. Implications relate to designing more collaborative activities for nondominant college students. As the result of the conducted research it has been determined that collaborative learning needs to be well planned, students need to be prepared to work in groups, and teachers’ expectations need to be stated explicitly if the benefits attributed to collaborative learning are to be realized.

Abstract The article analyzes the activities of governmental and non-governmental institutions aimed at orginizing teacher development in the system of postgraduate education in Poland. The author pays attention to the most prominent governmental institutions involved in advanced teacher training, namely, the Center for Education Development and the National Center for Supporting Vocational and Continuing Education in Warsaw, the Polonia Teachers’ Center in Lublin, which is part of the Centre for Polish Education Development Abroad. The activities of governmental institutions for teacher training in Poland operate at such three levels as central, regional and local. These institutions realize the main goal that is mainly related to teaching staff in the system of teacher development in accordance with the priorities in the country’s education policy. The funding allocated for the activities of central institutions for teacher development is provided under the budget of the Ministry of Education. Non-govermental centers for advanced teacher training are established by natural or legal entities. There are more than 370 institutions of this kind in Poland. In addition, teachers can participate in various training courses offered through the EU projects and funded by the European Social Fund. Based on Polish experience, it was proved that the European vision of education and new quality criteria motivate the teacher to develop both national and pan-European identity in their students.

Abstract Constant development of information and digital technologies changes the learning process and the specifics of social relations between the student and the teacher. The use of new means of communication makes an important contribution to the development of skills in using technology, intensive self-study and social interaction. A new generation of students uses digital technology daily. The article shows the impact of digital technology on a new generation of students, digital natives, and their learning. It has been defined that a lot of scientists have been studying the impact of information technology on digital generation, advantages and disadvantages of digital technologies. It has been stated that some scientists (M. Spitzer, J. Bauer) point out that there isn’t any indication that digital media accelerate or deepen the brain development process and don’t have any positive effect on its development. Today’s students cannot do without IT technologies – computers, mobile phones, the Internet, applications: video and music, text messaging. Nevertheless, Nicolas Carr notices that texting and instant messaging may weaken human creativity. It is also mentioned that multitasking leads to more superficial learning and less efficient processing of information. Generation of digital natives creates their own social network in their virtual world (a new culture of communication, a new language, new abbreviations which are used for writing messages). As for forms and methods of learning, it is extremely difficult for them to attend lessons and they prefer to be active and to work autonomously. They use the Internet as the main alternative to the traditional literary sources. Learning should be interactive, creative and autonomous for them. The organization of the educational process for digital natives is not an easy task, because they require varied and very stimulating learning environment. Thus, it has been proved that new digital technologies and the Internet can bring not only damage and danger, but also give huge benefits. These benefits should be taken into consideration and appropriate educational programs should be developed and introduced into digital natives’ learning.
信息和数字技术的不断发展改变了学习过程和学生与教师之间社会关系的具体内容。新的通信手段的使用对发展使用技术、强化自学和社会交往的技能作出了重要贡献。新一代的学生每天都使用数字技术。这篇文章展示了数字技术对新一代学生、数字原住民及其学习的影响。一直以来，很多科学家都在研究信息技术对数字生成的影响、数字技术的利弊。据报道，一些科学家(M. Spitzer, J. Bauer)指出，没有任何迹象表明数字媒体加速或深化了大脑的发育过程，对其发展没有任何积极的影响。今天的学生离不开IT技术——电脑、移动电话、互联网、应用程序:视频和音乐、短信。然而，尼古拉斯·卡尔注意到，短信和即时通讯可能会削弱人类的创造力。研究还提到，多任务处理会导致更肤浅的学习和更低效率的信息处理。数字原生代在他们的虚拟世界中创造了他们自己的社交网络(一种新的交流文化，一种新的语言，用于书写信息的新缩写)。至于学习的形式和方法，对他们来说，上课是极其困难的，他们更喜欢积极主动，自主学习。他们把互联网作为替代传统文学资源的主要选择。对他们来说，学习应该是互动的、创造性的和自主的。组织数字原生代的教育过程并不是一件容易的事，因为他们需要多样化和非常刺激的学习环境。因此，事实证明，新的数字技术和互联网不仅会带来破坏和危险，也会带来巨大的好处。应该考虑到这些好处，并制定适当的教育计划，并将其引入数字原生代的学习中。

Abstract Modern trends in professional training of IT managers in the global educational space have been characterized. Practical and theoretical aspects of global trends in modern education development – convergence (internationalization) and divergence – have been analyzed (including updating the content of education, quantitative and qualitative changes in the student population, competition among educational institutions, partnership with businesses), and economic and demographic factors behind them are outlined. Trends in general professional training of managers (diversification of educational institutions, differentiation of educational business programs, close ties between the system of managers’ training, R&D and businesses) and IT managers specifically (with regard to the multiple nature of IT management and Ukraine’s IT segment specificity) have been detailed. Special emphasis has been given to IT managers’ foreign language competence. The range of skills that IT managers need to have in order to meet modern labor market requirements at both national and international levels has been analyzed. It has been concluded that professional training of IT managers is taking on a great significance in the view of modern labor market needs, thus proving further research of IT management specifics and possible ways to expand existing IT management curricula to be a vital task. It has been substantiated that IT managers are not only technical specialists but also managers, they should be ready for self-improvement in this direction too – know and apply innovative approaches to strategic business planning and personnel management, monitor legislative changes, etc. As the sector of IT management sees bright prospects and demand for IT managers keeps growing, professional training of them is taking on a great significance.

Abstract The paper deals with professional training of future foreign language teachers in the USA based on the experience of Lewis University. As evidenced by research findings, the scope of foreign language education in the USA is rather broad, since they attempt to promote both traditional and critical languages in the context of developing translingual and transcultural competences. Based on the example of Lewis University, we have characterized professional training of future foreign language teachers, who major in the Spanish language. The obtained results prove that the programme content is extremely practice-oriented and designed to fulfill personal needs of every student; the programme curriculum is not overwhelmed with theoretical paradigms and foreign language students can participate in different activities and fully comprehend the realities of schools and the education process. It has been found that while mastering the programme, they are able to acquire the professional knowledge, skills and abilities they will definitely need in practice. The positive aspects of Lewis University’s foreign language education programme have been determined. They are the following: practice-oriented approach to professional training of future foreign language teachers; an optimal selection of professional education courses and electives, as well as effective clinical practice; the assessment and evaluation of foreign language students’ results during and after undergoing clinical practice from different perspectives, namely, organization, content, specifics; the implementation of the inclusive education component into the content of the programme curriculum; the fulfillment of different personal, learning and occupational needs of future foreign language students. It has been concluded that the outlined positive aspects of American experience in providing professional training of future foreign language teachers based on the experience of Lewis University can be implemented into the system of foreign language education in Ukraine in order to enhance quality and efficiency of these specialists’ training at Ukrainian higher education institutions.

Abstract The article studies the reforms that took place in the education system of the Republic of Poland in 1999 and proceeded in 2009. The structural changes were characterized; the types of educational institutions were given; the changes in programs, forms and methods of a teacher with a student work were analyzed; evolutionary processes in the evaluation system were traced. Special attention was paid to structural changes in school education. The problems of the education system reform in Poland were highlighted (the convergence of learning with the realities of modern life, the upbringing of a modern individual, deprived stereotypes of the past, the democratization of the education system in the light of European experience, preparation for an accession to the EU, the self-regulation possibility of a new educationsystem). The new accents of the school education contents were analyzed (safe and healthy for the pupil’s health, focusing on the construction of their own values systems, their development and improvement, the obligation to enhance children’s independence through the provision of a high level of internal self-government, the elimination of a single educational programme in the senior classes and the opportunity for students to choose their own future profession). It has been concluded that reforms implemented at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries in the Republic of Poland reflected obvious advantages in systemic educational processes. One of the major trends in systemic reform was the introduction of the three-level structure of the school system “6 + 3 + 3” (six year primary school, three-year gymnasium and a three-year profile lyceum). The result of reforms was the adaptation of education levels and upbringing to periods of children and young people development, ensuring their better understanding of themselves, other people and the world; educational chances equalization; improving the quality of education. The prospective areas of research in this area include the study of reforms in preschool education as a starting point for a holistic education system in Poland, the disclosure of organizational and content aspects of child’s preparation for schooling.

Abstract The comparative analysis of modern foreign concepts and systems of professional training of specialists in Western European countries has been carried out. Leading ideas, principles and regularities of the development of continuous professional education have been revealed. It has been stated that most developed European countries gradually reduce vocational education. At the same time, vocational and technical profiles of upper secondary education, which exist almost everywhere, with the exception of Great Britain, are actively developing. The consequence of these changes is the disappearance of many training profiles. Everywhere there is a tendency to prepare workers of advanced specialties. Today, European countries are working to solve the problem of “reducing training profiles to the minimum number”. At the same time profiling of high school is carried out. Different approaches to reforming the system of vocational education management in the countries of the world have been highlighted. Particular attention has been paid to the main areas of modernization of vocational education as a component of continuing education, the management of this process at the state, regional and local levels. Comparative analysis of materials in these areas has been carried out, the results of which suggest that the modernization of vocational education management in foreign countries is carried out using the principle of decentralization on the basis of the developed and adopted at the state level regulatory and legal basis. All countries have a clear division of powers at all levels of government (state, regional, local).

Abstract The article analyzes foreign experience in continuing professional development of teachers. It has been found that the system of continuing professional development of teachers in foreign countries has its own conceptual peculiarities determined by relevant contextual factors. It has been specified that all systems are characterized by personality-oriented approach to professional development of teachers, available organizational and pedagogical conditions for development, flexibility, diversity of forms and training content. Such an approach can enhance professionalism of teachers, their ability to provide students with high-quality and effective teaching in accordance with the needs of a market economy. It has been outlined that professional development of teachers is the most effective at the level of an educational institution in the course of daily teaching activities, provided the forms of this process organization are diverse. The key factor, which influences effectiveness of continuing professional development is the teacher’s ability to reflect, motivation, responsibility and academic mobility within professional development. It has been clarified that a number of countries apply national mechanisms for recognizing the results of teachers’ professional development, their certification. We believe it necessary to creatively use foreign innovative experience to enhance continuing professional development of teachers in Ukraine, namely, to create a multi-level system of continuing professional development of vocational education teachers and introduce motivational mechanisms for stimulating their professional growth.
