The paper is aimed at investigating adaptation peculiarities of the first-year students to university life. Among 105 first-year students selected for taking part in research 57 were internal migrants who had to change their place of residence and move to a student residential complex and 48 were original city residents who continued living at home. The research took place in 2018/2019 academic year at two Ukrainian universities. To promote research and collect data several diagnostic tools were used. To understand the leading concepts of research the methods of scientific literature analysis were applied. To process and interpret the obtained results the authors used the methods of mathematical statistics. The obtained results showed that stress resistance was the main source of successful adaptation of the first-year students to university life. Being self-resistant studentsinternal migrants seemed to know better how to deal with problems concerning their study and to be more open to interactions with their peers, family members and university teachers. At the same time facing unusual problems studentsoriginal city residents were not able to cope with them in a proper way and were more vulnerable to different stressors concerning university and personal life. The conducted research made it possible to define the difference between stress resistance of students-internal migrants and students-original city residents and to prove the correlation between adaptation and stress level.

Представлені результати дослідження передбачають перспективу подальших досліджень, зокрема актуальними напрямами подальших розвідок є пошуки шляхів інтеграції адаптивного й самостійно спрямованого навчання в процес фахової підготовки фахівців з інформаційних технологій.
The proposed study is focused on solving research questions concerning a common understanding of methodology in teaching English for Specific Purposes and language teaching approaches application in instruction process. The novelty of the paper lies in the theoretical substantiation of the necessity to apply the combination of competence-based, action-oriented and blended-learning approaches in the ESP classroom for improving ESP students’ languages competence regarded in our study as desired learning outcomes. The research is theoretical in nature and comprises the theoretical review of scientific literature aimed at understanding how methodology is conceived by scientists and ESP practitioners. The theoretical review contains the analysis of scientific publications and methodological materials on teaching English for Specific Purposes at higher education institutions. The authors also analyze the most trusted language teaching approaches, principles they are based on, learning outcomes they are aimed at in the ESP classroom, the advantages and disadvantages of their use in instruction process. The analysis of the most trusted language teaching approaches makes it possible to declare that the combination of competence-based, action-oriented and blended-learning approaches plays a crucial role in providing ESP students with improved languages competence.
Modern learning is the ultimate collaboration between teacher and student. Much like a doctor, the teacher must assess each individual’s needs, then prescribe the right solution for that person by crafting an appropriate curriculum and delivering it in a way that is meaningful. The principal aim of the research is to get an insight into contemporary issues of the individualized learning against the backdrop of blended learning in secondary school, to say nothing of the future directions for its progress and exercising. The group of researchers prepared a web-based experimental questionnaire (intended for schoolteachers and parents) targeted at illustrating the didactic potential and educational opportunities of the individualized learning as an effective remedy of preventing malign influence and retaining the quality while rendering the learning services faced with unanticipated shift to distance learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The inquiry-based pattern which was chosen with the aid of a voluntary response sampling technique comprised some 500 schoolteachers and parents from a various metropolitan secondary schools. Qualitative data analysis of the data obtained offer the opportunities for forming didactic rationale of the individualized learning, which could facilitate the learning process in secondary school as close as accomplishable to practical application of the learner-centered principle within a competency-based approach and digitalization of education. Alternatively, the obtained findings and logical conclusions showed the trends of teaching modes, methods and tools transformation of the individualized learning within the conditions of blended learning in secondary school.

The main purpose of the paper is to identify and generalize the tendencies of changes in the system of education influenced by the unexpected shift from face-to-face learning (traditional) to blended learning (as being regarded as a pattern of a certain mix of face-to-face and distance learning). The research is also targeted at investigating general secondary teachers’ readiness to respond to the educational challenges during the Covid-19 pandemic. The paper presents the information obtained at the very beginning of the sudden and unpredictable shift to total distance learning and then after the gradual transition to blended learning. The pros and cons of blended learning under conditions of the Covid-19 pandemic are revealed. The ideas that are closely connected with the accepting or not accepting absolutely new ways of teaching and learning from the points of view of general secondary school teachers, schoolchildren and their parents are given in the paper. The main problems of general secondary school teachers, schoolchildren and their parents face and practical ways to address these problems are enumerated and analyzed. The authors offer a variety of possible ways and means for overcoming the problems identified. Some certain innovative approaches and technologies, methods, techniques and means of blended learning aimed at delivering quality education to general secondary schoolchildren are mentioned. The research sample includes 3600 general secondary school teachers from different regions of Ukraine.
The article substantiates the concept and the need to introduce a model of professional development of natural sciences teachers in rural schools in the context of distance educational process in the conditions of digitalization of the domestic school education system, the risks associated with the pandemic, determining its impact on the educational process in rural schools in today's realities. The article reveals the pedagogical conditions of professional development of natural science teachers of rural schools in the conditions of distance educational process. The structural-functional model of this study is developed and experimentally checked, which contains three interconnected blocks. The methodological-target block reflects: purpose; concepts; methodological approaches; general pedagogical principles; specific principles. The content-technological block contains pedagogical conditions of professional development of natural science teachers of rural schools in the conditions of distance educational process (online coordination of the process of professional development of natural science teachers of rural schools in the conditions of remote work of centres of professional development of pedagogical workers based on technology “DDI” (disclosure, development and implementation); intensification of activity of the centres of professional development of pedagogical workers on the basis of pedagogical technologies of resource-oriented training of natural science teachers of rural schools and network cooperation; introduction of the author’s special course “Digitalization of the educational process” as an open learning environment for the continuous development of natural science teachers of rural schools), as well as forms and methods of teaching pedagogues and their professional development. The diagnostic-effective block reflects certain criteria (cognitive-digital, activity-effective and personal-evaluative); low (reproductive), medium (reproductive-creative), high (productive-creative) levels of professional development of natural science teachers in rural schools in the conditions of distance educational process and the expected result from the implementation of the structural-functional model. The results of the study allowed to state the positive, statistically significant dynamics of professional development of natural science teachers of rural schools in the conditions of distance educational process in the experimental group.
The article deals with the problem of forecasting the development of the content of general secondary education. The definition of "forecasting the development of the content of general secondary education", which is interpreted by the authors as a process of its quantitative and qualitative changes occurring under the influence of internal and external factors, provides the achievement of a qualitatively new state of its system, its compliance with social needs and personal needs of education applicants on a certain stage of social development. In the context of the study, the significance of educational and pedagogical forecasting as a powerful scientific tool for the development of the content of general secondary education has been substantiated, which makes it possible to determine and assess trends in its development, to develop and justify forecasts, to provide recommendations for the selection and design of the indicated content. The main groups of factors of the forecast background of development of general secondary education external to this object are forecasted and briefly analyzed, and prediction of the conditions and factors influencing it). It is substantiated that in the conditions of reforming general secondary education the weight of organizational-political (state educational policy), economic (labor market, information sphere development, labor migration, etc.), international factors (international educational cooperation, entering into the world and European educational space, etc.). Traditionally, the influence of scientific and technological factors, caused by scientific and technological progress (at the present stage, is the development of computer technology and information and communication technologies, etc.) remains. The authors attribute perspectives 143 of further researches with refinement of the terminology system and the substantiation of the conceptual foundations for forecasting the development of the content of general secondary education, the development of a theoretical model and technology that will ensure the implementation of this process.
