In the context of Ukraine's search for its own unique path of development, as many Asian countries do, recently proclaimed by the incumbent President Zelensky, for the first time in the national scientific space, the article describes the organization of physical education in Malaysia and highlights the pressing problems in this field and ways to solve them. It is concluded that these problems can be classified into four main categories: problems associated with teachers, with students, with the administration of schools, and with the lack of sports equipment. The similarity of Malaysian processes to the modern difficulties of building a national system of physical education in Ukraine is revealed: lack of motivation of students to exercise; insufficient funding and lack of equipment and inventory; misunderstanding by parents and administration of the importance of physical education for the development of a holistic personality and quality of life, ability to overcome stress; lack of administrative control over PE teachers. The purely Malaysian specifics includes the lack of qualified physical education professionals and the very slow response of the authorities to addressing this problem. It is established that the solution of these problems is carried out at several levels: state (school inspections, training of specialists in evening courses), and school – introduction of internal school assessment of students' physical fitness twice a year. It is concluded that Malaysia's winning strategy, which Ukraine can use to solve its own problems in building a national system of physical education, is the formation of a high authority of science and education and the introduction of international standards in the national education system for recognition of educational certificates by the international community and for economic development of the country.

The harmony of human interaction with nature is a universal law. No wonder modern science persistently proves the need for co-evolution of man and nature, which, in particular, provides for the inner harmony of the personality as a leading condition for the harmony of the outside world, including nature. Since environmental problems are caused primarily by a crisis of values, the problem of the formation of environmental competence in student youth is of no importance. The teacher of the natural education branch plays the key role in solving the named problem. Environmental literacy is a prerequisite for the formation of citizens’ of Ukraine responsibility for interaction with nature. In conditions of a difficult transition period, environmental literacy is important not only in addressing important social and economic problems in the context of sustainable development. It is also designed to help eliminate the contradictions between the acquired theoretical information and its use for solving specific life problems. Therefore, unbreakable bonds of relationship with nature presuppose environmental competence as one of the key components of the New Ukrainian School. Strengthening the environmental component of modern natural education is due primarily to the need to form a culture of healthy and safe lifestyles. It is one of the main directions of the concept of spiritual and moral development and upbringing of schoolchildren worked out in Ukraine. The above mentioned determines the peculiarities of pedagogical activity of the future bachelors of natural sciences. A new understanding of the role of the modern teacher of natural sciences predetermines the corresponding high demands on both the personality and the level of its environmental competence as an important component of the future teacher's professionalism. Ecological and pedagogical competence in the system of multidimensional professional activity of the future bachelors of natural sciences is the fundamental principle of formation of ecological standards of attitude towards the world of nature, designing significant value orientations in the minds of pupils.

The article offers a new perspective on the study of the problems of learning multilingualism among students’ youth. Therefore, the subjects of the humanitarian cycle at school and higher education institutions should provide an organic combination of native and non-native, their free combination. It is a profound strategy of human being that defines the inner foundation of the individual, aimed at both developing of one's own worldview and following one's vocation, as well as the ability to respect and empathize with the another. The article notes that the new textbook "Art" (grades 10-11), co-authored by the contributor to the article, presents both common and distinctive features of the artwork of Ukraine and the world, and the tasks are aimed at nurturing the students' commitment to the supreme human heritage without loosing aesthetic and ethical attachment of own native. Parallel exercises, connected with foreign languages have been introduced. The use of foreign languages stimulates the need for immersion in the context of world cultural processes and reveals new aspects of aesthetics and artistic parallels between cultural and historical norms of values and languages. The article also discusses the methods of creating situations of linguistic and artistic crossings in art classes (grades 10-11), which include techniques such as , dialogue of cultures, biographic, horizontal-virtual presentation of material aimed at cultivating motivation to master the language as the need to find harmony and the higher meanings of being.

A comparative analysis of the value orientations of contemporary students (2019) of musical specialities at institutions of higher education and their peers in 1996 and 2006 reflects the changes taking place in the activity of society during the transition to the market as the basis of social organization. The process of globalization of all spheres of society demonstrates an impact on the formation of the system of students’ value orientations, which means that a person is the central link in the system of responsibility for the results of the activity. As a result of the analysis of experimental data, a number of objective trends in the development of a system of future specialists’ value orientations have been revealed. Comparative data on the nature of the advantages in the field of art indicate an increase in the intellectualization of the process of value orientation in the depths of music. This tendency is reflected in the increase of spiritual significance of classical and folk music for students, in the critical attitude to rock music and pop art, in the stable awareness of the relationship between moral and aesthetic in the evaluation of works of art. At the same time, there is a tendency towards a decrease in the culture of reading literature on art and Ukrainian classics, which can be explained by the overall decline in the culture of reading in society. Conformity was found in comparative data on the students’ value attitude to the activity of educational musical and creative groups. So, on the one hand, these data prove the value of collective performing and aesthetic communication, which is reflected, in particular, in the search for an inspired, collective and creative process. On the other hand, there is a tendency to decrease the value prestige of realizing one’s own activity as a part of the common activity and the imperativeness of moral standards in the face of increasing business and selfish motives of students’ activity in the team. In general, reducing in the social and progressive orientation of students, where social and personal interests are harmoniously combined, and there is an overwhelming desire to manifest oneself in socially useful activities, is the result of complex and contradictory social and cultural changes in Ukraine, which in a new way raise the problem of increasing the social activity of the youth, the forms and methods of its integration in the life of society.

The article deals with modern information and telecommunication technologies that allow active and effective use of information resources to improve the level of education in educational institutions. In the conditions of rapid development of Informatization in society, the educational environment to perform the tasks must adapt to the new conditions. Training of highly qualified specialists is considered to be the most important strategic factor in the development of our country. Information processes are an integral component in all areas of society. One of the elements of the information and educational environment are electronic educational materials that relate to open and local educational systems. The transfer of educational and methodical material to electronic media, the use of computer networks at various levels (local, regional, global) as channels of information and the creation of display classes in educational institutions has led to the evolution of educational technologies. As a result, a teacher who uses electronic educational materials in his / her activities can more effectively organize the educational process and purposefully manage it by redistributing information flows between him / her, students and teaching materials. The main directions and methods of transition to electronic forms of presentation of educational and methodical information and their use in the educational process are considered. A conceptual model of the learning process depending on the form of learning is proposed and analyzed. Components of educational activity are allocated. The ways of creating e-learning materials, their scope and basic requirements for them are analyzed. It is concluded that e-learning materials are an important element of the information and educational environment.

Nowadays, in connection with the rapid development of information technology and the wide computerization of almost all areas of society, the study of the use of modern information technologies in the education system in our country is becoming increasingly relevant. It is clear that this applies not only to computer science teachers, but also to teachers in other subjects, especially those whose lessons require visual materials. The teachers of Physics are not an exception to this, they can use a variety of software for various kinds of visualization of physical processes, construction of necessary diagrams, schemes, and other visual materials, automation of various calculations, and much more. It is worth noting that ordinary office suites can be used not only for regular work with the documents necessary for the educational process, but also for solving the above problems. The article considers the possibility of using office packages by teachers of physics in preparing lessons at school. The article analyzes the possibility of replacing the common office suite Microsoft Office with its free counterparts without losing the quality of the educational process. Using OpenOffice as an example, we considered the advantages and disadvantages of using free office suites for preparing physics lessons. A comparative analysis of the functionality of the programs included in the issue "For home and study" office suite Microsoft Office and the standard set of programs that is installed during the installation of office suite OpenOffice is carried out. The feasibility of using a free cross-platform office suite OpenOffice by teachers of physics to prepare for lessons is substantiated.
