The article discusses the use of distance learning as a daily (neoclassical) practice of the educational process. It is noted that mass communicative breeding in the space of the bearer and the recipient of educational information creates a new educational paradigm that levels out the existing traditional model of classroom interaction between the parties. It is argued that a complete transition to distance education contradicts the very essence of higher education, namely: the formation of a full-fledged social and intellectual personality within the natural scientific environment. It is warned that distance learning can under no circumstances replace classical education, but should be considered only as a forced or auxiliary measure, limited by the time and amount of action.

The article examines the implementation of the modern concept of the Internet of Things (Internet of Things) based on the IoT platform to create an intelligent environment that provides security, comfort and resource efficiency for all users. Human safety is an important factor that does not tolerate a "formal" approach. It should determine how the system should respond to the presence of certain vulnerable categories of people: infants, preschool children, pregnant women, people with disabilities, etc. It was determined that the disadvantage of the "SMART home" control technology by user profiles is the possibility of unintentional harm to certain categories of people. Using the example of "SMART at home", it is shown how, using the developed model of intelligent dynamic synthesis of user profiles, it is possible to provide a compromise between comfort and safety. A modern safe environment system must be able to make decisions in each specific situation and adapt to different categories of users (taking into account the priorities of profiles and restrictions). The proposed model of flexible control of equipment parameters in the "SMART home" system with an increased degree of comfort and safety due to dynamic synthesis, the compromise profile is variable and can be implemented in any room, for example, in kindergartens, educational institutions, etc. This model is an open system and can be adjusted and improved in accordance with specific conditions.

The article analyzes the history of Orthodox education in Volyn. It is submitted that from the beginning of its existence the Ukrainian Church enjoyed wide autonomy. With the national-state movement, the competition for its independence grew. In the XXth century the national-church movement in Volyn was the part of this process. The Orthodox Church occupies a prominent place in the political, cultural and socio-economic life of the Ukrainian people. For a long time, its role in shaping the national identity of Ukrainians was artificially ignored, although the church has always been an important means of influencing public consciousness. It is noted that the Orthodox clergy have made a significant contribution to the development of the cultural sphere of the region. Priests played an important role in raising the general level of education, moral education of their faithful, research into the history of their homeland and monument protection activities. It was found that changes in regimes and political systems could not shake its authority, because it was associated with the spiritual feelings of man. During the periods of stateless existence of the Ukrainian people, the church supported national and creative processes and as a social organization with a powerful Christian ideology united the people. The importance of the Orthodox Church in national-political processes was realized by a part of the Ukrainian intelligentsia and other strata, unfolding in the first half of the XXth century the struggle for the return of national characteristics to the church organization. Therefore, the study of the history of the Orthodox Church is of paramount importance for the reproduction of a holistic picture of the past of the Ukrainian people. Church processes in Volyn 20-40’s of the XXth century play an important role in the all-Ukrainian national liberation movement and in the revival of the Ukrainian state and church. Knowledge of the past of the Ukrainian Church is also needed to overcome many artificial stereotypes that hinder the formation of a democratic civil society in Ukraine. Church-historical research reveals the causes of modern interfaith tensions, finds out its origins and even presents options for possible ways out of it.

The cultural-historical component in Durkheim’s theory in the field of education and pedagogy which is used today as a methodological basis for studying and creating the structure of education in national society could in itself have value characteristics, counteract the destruction of national consciousness and lay the foundations for its preservation and painless adaptation.

Thus, innovation is the result of evolutionary natural process it is not rejected by practice and forms a full-fledged element of the educational culture of society.

The article presents the characteristics of youth as a socio-demographic group, and emphasizes the lack of clear justification, as it varies depending on place, age, country. Representatives of various scientific currents see their potential in young people: political scientists consider it as an innovative resource for the country's development, sociologists – as a socio-cultural community, psychologists – as a group with its own psychophysical features of adulthood. Each science is characterized by interaction with other sciences, theoretical and methodological addition of concepts, and joint use of empirical research data. Peculiarities of the social composition of the young generation are determined by the presence of a significant proportion of young people, who do not have their own social status in the full sense; social characteristics of different groups of young people are determined by direct inclusion in mass movements. Youth as a socio-demographic group (ages 14–35) makes up a third (27%) of the total population of Ukraine. At the same time, the share of young people in the total population has been declining over the past five years. Such demographic dynamics negatively affect the reproduction of the population as a whole and limit positive changes in the future. In modern European society among the forms of youth participation are volunteer work; participation in various forms of non-formal education; peer-to-peer learning; active participation in the activities of youth centers, clubs and performance of duties in them; consultations; different levels of participation of young people in projects and activities; youth councils, parliaments, forums.
