The phenomenon of health is analyzed in the context of its social and spiritual components, as a component of the planetary education of student youth. Various definitions of this concept are considered. The connection between the state of health of the population, and especially young people, with the level of civilization of the country, its readiness to accept the main trend of world progress - movement towards man, towards humanism is pointed out. It is pointed out that our consciousness was not ready to accept the global nature of the modern pandemic. Most people were unable to grasp the fact that everyone's health is not only his own business, but also a planetary value. Humanity must recognize that health is a natural, absolute and permanent value in life, which occupies the top rung on the hierarchical ladder of values. Unfortunately, modern Ukrainian realities do not contribute to the formation of proper motivation in children and young people for a healthy lifestyle. The risk factors that negatively affect the health of students have been identified: - stressful pedagogical tactics; - intensification of the educational process; - inconsistency of teaching methods and technologies; - failure to comply with basic hygienic requirements for the organization of the educational process; - functional illiteracy of teachers and parents in matters of preserving and strengthening health, and so on. It is noted that the formation of students' need for a healthy lifestyle is necessary so that a future specialist, even in his student years, comes to realize the importance of the health problem, as a value not only private, but also as a state, national and, ultimately, planetary value. The essence of social and spiritual aspects of health is analyzed. Social health is a state of the body that determines a person's ability to contact with society. Spiritual health can be defined as the ability of an individual to build and regulate his life and his activities (both social and professional) in accordance with the humanistic ideals that humanity has suffered in the process of the historical development of civilization. It is spiritual health that is decisive in a person's attitude to himself, to others, to society and is a priority in the hierarchy of health.

Author is assessing relevance of well-spread typology of Richard Niebuhr by applying it to the praxis of Protestant churches of Ukraine and argues that due to keeping statements of faith intact from one hand, but an essential shift in the scope of social involvement, it is impractical to apply Niebuhr’s typology to the Protestant of Ukraine. In particular author evaluates instances when some individual Christians are elaborate socially being prompted by a compel to accomplish missional tasks that they see as a primary one. Some display active social position due to situational opportunity, and others are involved within society based on a hermeneutical decision either as initial hermeneutics or being grounded in theological accents. Other Christians are very unlikely to view interaction with society as an end, due to a very different set of accents within one theological framework of reference. Author concurs with Dennis Hollinger’s classification of the ways Protestants traditionally interact with the society, and author finds especially helpful to range involvement within one of two continuums: individual vs. structural and remedial vs. preventive actions. 1. Christian relief; 2. Creating alternative Christian institutions; 3. Evangelism, not just a method to introduce beliefs to other, but also as a vehicle of structural changes in society; 4. Prophetic pronouncements as a way to react on negative trends and tendencies; 5. Political lobbying as a method to prevent passing certain bills into laws, or advocating for some bills to be voted for; 6. Creating political parties or forming political groups; 7. Nonviolent resistance; 8. Christian incarnation (embodiment) as a manifestation of faithfulness to God with understanding that it is possible to implement God’s ethical standards only within Christian community of faith; 9. Individual impact with understanding that Christians hold views and moral (ethical) principles that differ from secular society, however Christians apply those principles, within and outside boundaries of Christendom. Author presents dynamic typology developed by L. Sweet as one that is able to describe social trends within Protestantism in a better way.

The article analyzes contemporary social challenges to the process of the upbringing of a child. It is noted that the goal of upbringing from the standpoint of a culturological approach is the formation and development of a Man of Culture, a citizen, a moral and spiritual personality. The essence of the concept of "synergy" is considered, as a sacred attitude of a child to everything that surrounds him in the process of upbringing. It is noted that the synergetic system, as a cultivated nature, has significant complexity, which manifests itself in the variety of connections, their multifunctionality and lability. The nurturing environment is characterized as a component of the educational environment, as a complex multidimensional education, consisting of pedagogical and educational factors and conditions under which the child's personal and professional development takes place, educational processes are activated. It has been substantiated that upbringing is a process focused, first of all, on the development of the spiritual and value sphere of self-awareness. It is concluded that the child's perception of the educational impact of society with its functional, ethical and aesthetic characteristics gives the possibility of interpersonal communication as a subjectively significant space and experiencing their stay in it with a sense of comfort, belonging to "their" spiritual and professional community, which arises as the main sign of effective influence of the cultural and educational environment on the personality. It has been proved that the educational process of a modern child should be viewed from the standpoint of attracting to the spiritual and material values of society, traditions and culture according to the personality's own activity.

At the moment, educational systems around the world are taking measures to organize the educational process in the context of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Under global quarantine, distance learning has become one of the most difficult challenges for the higher education system in Ukraine. An urgent transition to distance learning is associated with problems caused by insufficient technical equipment, the absence or poor preparation of both teachers and students to work in the new conditions. At the same time, the new format of education provides a wide range of opportunities and prospects for changing and improving educational systems. This article is devoted to identifying factors that affect the level of student satisfaction with the quality of distant support in quarantine conditions. Having analised the online survey results, we have identified a number of advantages and disadvantages that affect the effectiveness and efficiency of distance learning: organizational and pedagogical, information technology, and psychological. It is determined that the main advantages of distance learning are flexibility and mobility of educational activities; the opportunity to receive educational material by various means of communication; development of motivation and independence in learning. The disadvantages that affect the quality of distance learning include the following: impossibility of face-to-face communication with the teacher; an increase in the level of learning material load; difficulties with technical support and access to the Internet; insufficient self-organization. It is concluded that the process of introducing distance learning under quarantine conditions is at the initial stage and requires the use of world experience, progressive technologies of distance education, and receiving feedback from students and teachers. Further research will be focused on creating favorable conditions for the development of the state of readiness of an individual to use information and communication technologies of distance learning.
