In this context is necessary to identify the indicators, according to which it will be possible to measure the general level of the development of the component in question. The evaluation of the initial development level of the component in question is the first stage in the research work, the aim of which is to find the efficient ways of developing the axiological-motivational component in particular and self-educational competence in general, as only by comparing the data of the initial stage and the final stage the conclusion about the success of the experiment can be made. The article presents the grounding and choice of the diagnostic materials for determining the level of formation of each of the indicators (innovative and humanistic orientation of a personality, understanding of self-educational competence as a professional value, ability to emotionally experience the values of self-educational activity etc.) of the personal criterion (which corresponds to the axiological-motivational component). On the results of the initial stage measurements of this component the article states that the main problem connected with the development of the axiological-motivational component is the lack of theoretical knowledge about and practical skills of self-educational activity.

The article identifies and discloses the most important directions for the development of ethical and deontological knowledge in the field of education management in Ukraine. The first direction of development of managerial deontology is to substantiate its problems in the sphere of managerial culture. In accordance with this approach, managerial culture is determined by researchers as the appropriateness of the manager with the requirements relating to management activities and the personal qualities of the manager. Management culture is universal. It is considered as the foundation of the professional behavior of the manager, which led to the introduction of the concept of "deontological culture" in the scientific circle. The second direction of the development of the theory of managerial deontology in the early twenty-first century is the "deontologization" of the management. Scientists consider such problems: mechanisms of value and semantic determination of the educational institution management, deontological requirements for the head of the educational institution, the essence of his professional duty and responsibility, justification of the content of deontological ethics. The third direction of the development of the theory of professional deontology is the growing interest of domestic scientists to the problems of ethical and deontological training of specialists. However, in the area of professional training of the education manager, the problem is highlighted superficially. The reason for this is the differentiation of deontological knowledge. Therefore, the problem of determination of the status of managerial deontology in the system of scientific knowledge is connected with the urgent need for their allocation from the sphere of related sciences in a separate problem field, systematization and generalization of deontological knowledge in the field of education management.

The analysis of American educators` research about the definition of success in the higher education system is given in the article. The significant increase in enrollment at the end of ХХ century was founded on new kinds of students who differed in certain ways from the "traditional" American students. The institutions faced considerable challenges getting students to complete their programs and tried to find new forms and methods of teaching, taking into account the diversity of ethnic, age and social characteristics of students, the political and socio-economic situation in the country. High quantitative indicators of student retention and graduation determined the success of higher education institutions for a long time, but the attention of teachers was attracted by other factors of success at the beginning of the XXI century. In 2004 the American Association of State Colleges and Universities with the organization “Trust in Education” and the National Association of Education Leaders set up a project to study and disseminate the positive experiences of some American universities. In this research, the factors of culture and leadership were studied in the concept of success. In 2006 the National Postsecondary Education Cooperative published the results of a student success study project. In 2007 it was published a report on the work of the Symposium on student success, which demonstrated various approaches to the definition of this concept, taking into account many factors. In order to reform higher education, the American Federation of Teachers in 2010 also conducted its own study of the success of university students. Thus at the beginning of the XXI century the concept of success acquired different meanings and it encouraged educators to develop this direction.
