The digitalization of society and the fascination of young people with the virtual game space have contributed to the emergence of new teaching methods and increasing the effectiveness of learning through gamification. Gamification is the use of game mechanics in non-game contexts in order to increase the motivation and interest of listeners. Game elements are used on websites, in business, in medicine, in law enforcement and now more and more often in education. The task of gamification is not to create a full-fledged game, but to use elements of the game even without information and communication technologies. In order to achieve the effective use of games and game mechanics one should pay attention to the cognitive abilities of cadets, individual learning style, because it affects the quality of the gaming task. In order to effectively perform the gaming task and increase motivation, it is necessary to combine different activities so that all cadets can realize themselves as much as possible. While designing and using games in foreign language classroom, it is necessary to take into account the personality of cadets, give them the opportunity to experience defeat or victory, create all the conditions for self-analysis and self-development.

The descriptions of the categories "education" and “pedagogy” from a sociological position, causal relationships, functional patterns and practical manifestation of these concepts are made in the article. Analyzing the definitions "education" and "pedagogy" Durkheim emphasizes sociality of these concepts. Durkheim demonstrates that education is the social institute continuously existing throughout many stages of the history of society in contrast to pedagogy asserting itself only periodically. Durkheim claims that education should not build its system from scratch it must first of all devote itself to understanding its time. He proves that education is a product of history and only history can explain. Education is a social phenomenon and largely depends on the cultural tradition and the specifics of the historical development of society and the implementation of social views on the theory and practice of education should consider the specifics. It will be emphasized by one goals and objectives of education in a particular country in particular historical period. In pedagogical sense of Durkheim, pedagogy is educational practice, sphere of implementation of the theory of education. Education is a sphere of science. Educational practice is a transition stage from science to practice. The contemporary definitions of categories "education" and "pedagogy" (foreign and domestic) is demonstrated in the article.

The article summarizes the activities of a social worker. The activity of a social pedagogue as a link between government agencies and an orphan is considered. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the role of a social worker in the interaction of an adopted child and government agencies. We emphasize that the main purpose of the social educator is the activation and integration of socio-cultural, socio-pedagogical functions and influences of society on the socialization of orphans. An important factor in the interaction of an orphan and government agencies - social adaptation - is described. Social adaptation is represented as the child's successful assimilation of all social roles in the system of social relations. It is substantiated that the main principles of work of a social worker with adoptive parents in the context of interdepartmental interaction include principles such as: priority of interests and needs of the adopted child; continuity of support to be provided by government agencies; multidisciplinarity. Emphasis is placed on the methodical work of a social worker, which involves the activities of a specialist in various areas, such as: diagnostic, prognostic, communicative, pedagogical, psychotherapeutic, social and rehabilitation. The need for methodical work is explained by the activities of a social worker, which involves coordinating the positive influences of government agencies and social workers in order to provide comprehensive professional assistance to orphans in their personal development and successful self-realization in the socialization process. It is concluded that the social worker is a link between government agencies and the orphan, which is designed to promote effective protection of the rights and interests of adopted children and to guarantee a professional approach to the adoption of children deprived of parental care. High-quality professional activity of a social worker should provide a transparent system of guarantees for effective adaptation and socialization of orphans.

The author of the article substantiates that public legal awareness is inextricably linked with a sense of universal justice. Negative circumstances lead to such consequences as legal nihilism, ie ignoring the law, legal norms, values. In conditions of legal nihilism, people experience feelings of hopelessness, frustration, social exclusion, confusion, despair and loss of faith in the future. The feeling of social apathy pervades society. Legal nihilism is a product of certain social living conditions. The pervasive crisis, especially in the economy, is directly causing a political, legal and spiritual crisis. This phenomenon is one of the destructive social formations that exists in the context of global transformations, when the imbalance of values and ideals quickly fills all spheres of society, has significant destructive potential and causes a number of negative processes. It is necessary to actively combat such phenomena and try to prevent their occurrence by timely actions and scientifically sound means, having previously studied them and given them a comprehensive description. The social aspect of preventing this phenomenon is impossible without understanding the phenomenon of law as a fundamental category, supported by relevant ideas about legal culture and legal awareness. By studying legal categories, we must strive to raise the level of legal awareness of society, strengthen the sense of responsibility, respect for the law and the rights of others, strengthen social and national solidarity, recognize the importance of national and universal interests, which is especially relevant for our time. It is expedient to pay a high degree of attention to the study and formation of a high legal culture among the young generation, control over the observance of the principles of legal relations among its citizens and education of the young generation in the spirit of respect for the rule of law. State support for relevant measures will significantly increase the understanding of patriotism and respect for state values. Such measures can have positive consequences not only for raising the legal awareness of the younger generation, but also for improving the quality of statehood in general. That is why the study of the factors of formation of moral and legal consciousness of young people is one of the priority areas for further formation of the legal society. Given this, there is also considerable scope for studying this problem in the context of related sciences such as law, philosophy, and so on. It can also be noted that legal awareness is a very important and thorough level of research that requires comprehensive consideration and careful study. However, it is advisable to conduct a scientific review of the relevant category in combination with an understanding of the holistic structure of the root causes and factors that support the formation of legal behavior of the individual in the social environment

The article is devoted to the study of specific features of Chinese teachers training for work with gifted children. The specificity of the training of pedagogical personnel in China is explored. The auhtors focus on the professional characteristics and competencies of Chinese teachers, who work with gifted children, activities for raising the level and develop their pedagogical skills, as well as the requirements for their professional qualities. The education of gifted children in China does not have a separate status in the education system of the PRC, but it is a part of special education, in particular the education of children with special educational needs. The authors of the article determine that a limited number of universities train special teachers, so the lack of special teachers and specialists is an urgent problem of special education in China. It has been found that the vast majority of teachers, who teach gifted children, are graduates of secondary vocational schools. The main way to train teachers for work with gifted children are refresher courses, thematic conferences and seminars. The study showed that the professional and personal competencies of special educators are the main appropriate requirements based on the experience of other countries and classical Chinese treatises. In order to work in special educational programs teachers must meet established characteristics and competencies, and also have professional knowledge and skills. In specialized pedagogical educational institutions, teacher training programs concentrate on pedagogical strategies and methods developed in accordance with the peculiarities of teaching a certain cycle of disciplines.

The article deals with the aspect analysis of the genesis of the category "harmony". It is found out that modern society needs adequate and professional actions to cultivate and establish moral and value orientations, to promote self-awareness that a human is a harmonious part of the universe, nature, society and to restore harmony in the system human-human-nature-society. It is established that according to the specifics of a particular science, various aspects of the phenomenon "harmony" are directly or indirectly revealed through the prism of philosophy, psychology, ethics, aesthetics and pedagogy. After analysing the scientific literature on the research problem, the author reveals that harmony is a philosophical category, understanding of which in each historical period is associated with the problems of cosmology, gnoseology and ethics based on aesthetic ideals and ideas about personality, society and universe. It is proved that Classical antiquity formed rationalist harmony as a paide, reflecting spiritual, moral, ethical and aesthetic implications. It is emphasized that the advent of the New Age provides an aesthetic explanation for the harmony phenomenon as beautiful: the result of changing the individual worldview, merging the inner world into a single harmonious whole through volitional activity. It is revealed that in Contemporary history the understanding of harmony acquires a more differential and structured form, where not only philosophical but also psychological aspects can be traced. It is established that at the end of the twentieth century the idea of harmony is subjected to an ironic, destructive impulse of reduction to change what is called the nineteenth century by restoring the lost spiritual, moral truths. It is proved that modern scientists reveal the concept "harmony" through the prism of the experiencing well-being in life spheres, the phenomena "beauty" and "spirituality".

The high level of personal involvement required by the foreign language learning process is even more difficult for our universities, where the demands of the academic environment are so high that not all graduate students acquire the necessary competencies to meet these requirements. The purpose of the article is to explore the background for acquiring foreign language competence in the academic environment and to obtain the necessary information necessary for further research. The research methodology is based mainly on theoretical methods, such as analysis of scientific papers and publications to identify the main problems of the article. The classification method is used to classify the main points of view on the selected problem. The broader goal of language education is independent communication in a foreign language, which is based on the premise that language skills learned in classrooms are easy to transfer to real situations, and that graduate students will gain the necessary experience at the end of the language program. But this is not the case, and the practical results of the acquired skills of communication in a foreign language almost always do not meet the language expectations of the applicants. The current state of educational services indicates a significant increase in the need for high-quality post-graduate education, which will provide the applicant with relevant competencies relevant to the academic environment. Today the aim of post-graduate education is not only the growth of usage of lexical and grammar materials in the training of a competent specialist. In theory, post-graduate education established the imperative of the competence-based approach, while practically communicative competencies aren't directed to the process of inclusion of PhD students in professional culture are underestimated and incomplete extent implemented by them in the academic educational environment.

Mapping involves working with areas of individual educational movement of the student, the space of his self-determination and goals and educational resources of the environment. Designing an individual educational program involves students focusing on their current and future educational or professional goals. Question-relevant technologies are aimed at developing students' communication skills, and training – social and psychological competence. Moderation technologies allow students to develop the ability to manage communicative interactions in a group during a discussion. Visualization technologies are used to visualize information and knowledge using a variety of verbal, visual and multimedia codes (subject, word, abbreviation, drawing, sketch, graphics, etc.). Reflective technologies allow future teachers to learn to predict the results of their professional activities, analyze them, make independent decisions and find a way out of problematic situations.

We consider the phenomenological approach as a methodological basis that determines a new vision, deep clarification of the essence and meaning of educational problems, the ontological foundations of human education, and explains the pedagogical need to solve them. The main idea of the phenomenological approach in education is the idea of the "life world" of the individual, his integrity. The assertion of a holistic paradigm of integrity in the methodology of education, in which a Human is seen as the highest embodiment of holism, as the highest integrity, which assumes: "Constantly strive to see, feel, experience and understand the unity of all things" – "live in integrity" (Paul Schafer), will contribute to the convergence of natural sciences and humanities, cognitive knowledge and value-semantic parameters, the formation of a holistic person. Phenomenological approach in pedagogy is the most natural, which corresponds to the inner essence of a man, because the experience of the subject is the only life experience in which the perception of the world, himself, another person, freedom, responsibility, and human dignity coexist. Problems of education are often considered only as problems of external space, but no less a problem is the issue of "self-education", associated with the essence, existence of a human, his meanings, and inner nature. Education is a humanitarian space of self-creation, self-education of a human, his spiritual awakening, which should be provided by such natural and cultural mechanisms as: support, сoordination, pedagogical assistance, spiritual involvement in the educational process by the teacher and the student's desire for self-improvement.

In this article, we discuss key issues about English language proficiency in Ukraine, focusing in particular on the level and kind of proficiency that English language teachers need to have to support their classroom teaching. We define the concept of proficiency and how it is usually measured, and then present some data about teachers and students’ English language proficiency in Ukraine and Europe. The next section discusses research that helps us understand why a threshold of proficiency is required for effective teaching. As many teachers may not have reached a level of proficiency considered sufficient for effective teaching. The article used a report by the British Council on testing of a small sample of teachers of English language using Aptis test. The author relies on survey of the EF English Proficiency Index. It has been identified that there is an urgent need to establish a national network for defining and tracking English language proficiency in order to set appropriate standards for students and teachers at all levels of education. It is noted that there is generally no official data on English language skills by teachers, and the available data are not always easy to interpret. It has been found that to improve the quality of teaching, it would be useful to start by setting the minimum requirements for all English language teachers at C1 level on the scale of the Common European Guidelines for Language Education. The study is based on reports of British experts and modern scientific publications, submitted to international researchers who have focused on the problems of determining the level of English and the prospects of Ukrainian universities in the aspect of the English language.

This article focuses on problems of harmonization of society’s and personality's relations at the level of values and value orientations. Values are shown as the level at which the individual's and society's paths are intersected. It is important that these processes are taking place against the active social changes, which require clearer and more focused axiological accents in public education policy. Also, they are taking place on focusing on the focus of attention on spiritual and moral issues at the level of the practice of educational institutions. The need for changes in value orientations is justified at the current historical stage of development. The necessity of creating and applying the value system in educational activities is also argued. This value system is built on the basis of national traditions as a means of spiritual and moral education of the younger generation. Attention is drawn to the need to activate spiritual and moral education and state support for this process. A person can set high spiritual and moral goals, to perceive and support the system of spiritual values generally accepted in the state only with certain social support and confidence in the future. Values are viewed as the key core of the personality since they create the basis for various relationships in which a person actually functions. Attention is focused on the interdependence of such qualitative indicators as the stability of the realm, adherence to democratic principles, and the level of development of the creative potential of citizens. A person is presented as the highest value, which, provided the appropriate conditions are provided, is capable of strengthening society and the state. We used theoretical methods of analysis, synthesis, analogy, as well as empirical methods of observation and study of the products of activity in the research. The outcomes reflect the need to consider the problem of values as a social and pedagogical one that allows involving teachers, psychologists, culturologists, and sociologists in its solution. The work done gives grounds to assert the advisability of conducting a value analysis. These values were introduced at the previous stage of social development, to answer the question - what is the reason for the difficulty of changing the value orientations of the population and why restructuring is so painful in our society.

The unexpectedly rapid transition to online education in the 2nd semester of 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak became a challenge for the domestic educators in Physical Education. Despite the abundance of newest health-tracking and sports devices, apps, and online platforms and channels, appropriate sport facilities and equipment are still necessary due to safety restrictions and for conduction of good quality PE and sports classes. Ukrainian climate conditions do not allow a year-round outdoor training in the public premises. Lack of sports equipment in private apartments, insufficient supply of Ukrainian families with computers and telephones of the new generation, lack of Internet access in 35% of families, inability to use sports facilities even for teachers for shooting video lessons, etc. resulted in a drop in the success of university students of PE departments. The failure of half-a-year PE classes’ results on the state level was eloquently pronounced with the Ministry of Education official recommending assessment of students’ year PE results by the I-st semester grades. Thus, the need to analyze the efficiency of online-teaching experience in domestic physical education arose. The article analyses the pitfalls of the introduction of distance education in the field of physical education of students of Ukrainian universities according to the criteria of effectiveness proposed by A. Veremchuk (effectiveness, accessibility to all segments of the population, resource intensity, efficiency, democratic communication "teacher-student", and comprehensive software technologies) and recommendations for compensation of the mentioned problem.

The aim of the article is to raise the issue of the importance of family support in children with behavioral and emotional disorders. It notes that it is the environment that has a huge impact on the formation and becoming of the child. This is because it is in the family that the foundations of the human personality are built. In a favorable environment, they should create beauty in life, balance of spirit, a sense of security. But the family environment would have an educational effect only if the child is actively involved in it. It is the first "experimental field" for human life. The inclusion of the child in the family environment and his upbringing in moral virtues is one of the practical ways for his socialization. Unfortunately, many families fail to provide emotional support to adolescents, fail to create this psychological comfort and security. Disruption of this emotional connection with parents, lack of emotional support can easily lead to serious damage to the psyche of a child and this can easily lead to irreversible consequences in behavior and emotional development and its formation. Problematic children are usually the result of family conflicts, lack of parental love, upbringing in cruelty, rudeness and inconsistency in parental actions. Children almost always absorb not only the positive but also the negative patterns of behavior coming from the parents. It is unrealistic and ineffective for parents to demand exemplary behavior from their children if they themselves are not carriers of it. The future of the child also depends on the example and the educational impact of the parents. Very often in the hectic daily life of us adults we do not have time to pay enough attention to the emotional and behavioral development of our children. We often forget that the behavioral and emotional disorders of some children are a cry for help, which unfortunately is often misunderstood by others. If left unnoticed by adults, these negatives can take root in the form of various feelings in the minds of adolescents and have a negative impact on their mental and emotional development and well-being, and lead to serious behavioral and emotional dysfunctions.

Given all the problems that exist in the world today - from the COVID-19 pandemic and racial violence and prejudice to the environmental crisis and colossal disparities in income and wealth – people everywhere in the world are being severely challenged and thinking a great deal about the development of their personalities and lives. When Edward Burnett Tylor defined culture as "the complex whole," it was apparent that all people live a "cultural life" as a whole made up of many parts. Matthew Arnold went farther in this regard by contending that the challenge in life is to create a "harmonious cultural life" through the development of all our faculties and powers. Johan Huizinga went even further when he provided a powerful and profound insight into this matter by stating that the challenge is to create balance and harmony between the material and non-material dimensions of life, and therefore all the diverse activities and developments in the world and in life. Given the severe imbalances and disharmonies that exist in this area at present as a result of placing a much higher priority on the former dimension compared to the latter dimension, it is clear that this problem can only be resolved and rectified by placing a much higher priority on the development of non-material activities such as the arts, humanities, education, and spirituality going forward into the future. Not only is this the key to coming to grips with many of the world’s most complicated and life-threatening problems and changing directions in the world and in life in the future, but also it is the solution to developing our personalities and lives as balanced and harmonious wholes. This will result in a great deal more caring, sharing, compassion, cooperation, conservation, and creativity in the world, thereby putting us in a much stronger position to come to grips with the problems we will be confronted with in the future, creating more compatible lifestyles and ways of life, achieving sustainable development, and becoming cultural personalities in the realistic and idealistic sense.

The article examines the issue of success as a spiritual and cultural value of higher education in the United States. Higher education, especially liberal, encourages the formation of the individual, his/her spiritual and intellectual development. Numerous studies of American educators have shown a link between higher education and success. The knowledge, skills and abilities acquired during training in the higher education establishments provide an opportunity for personal and career self-realization, but success presupposes the presence of such qualities as wisdom, diligence, honesty, decency, responsibility. This is the basis of spirituality, which is formed under the influence of the humanities and culture. The article presents researches that emphasize the role of literature in the formation of values and success. Art in any form fulfills the mission of forming a spiritual culture, the values of society. Recent studies have shown that American scholars concern about the decline of "cultural capital", which Bourdieu believes should affect a person's success. The decline in the cultural level of Americans is caused by many factors, but it is empirically proven that higher education enhances cultural socialization. Experimental studies have shown the influence of different arts on the formation of feelings that contribute to the success of the individual. The concept of "positive art" in the study of T. Lomas covers four areas: visual arts, music, literature, drama, and, according to the scientist, has a positive impact on spiritual development and human success. Some studies show a correlation between the arts and the formation of positive psychological characteristics through four mechanisms of influence on the individual. Thus, higher education contributes not only to the success of a person in the realization of career opportunities, but also, due to the influence of the humanities and arts, forms the spiritual qualities of the individual.
