Due to widening the system and synergetic methodology in the sphere of socio-economic research, the synergetic methodology is extrapolated on managing social-economic processes at the level of constructing the model of such a process. The research is consecutively conducted on three methodological levels – the general/overall (general principles of synergetics are realized in socio-economic sphere), the peculiar/specific (general principles of synergetics are realized in socio-economic systems management) and the single/individual (the synergetic principles of socio-economic systems management are realized in the sphere of education on the level of the model of educational systems management using temporary self-ruled managerial target teams). It is stated that the system-synergetic view of the world reveals certain fundamental aspects of the behavior of natural and socio-economic systems in the context of their control and governance. It is shown that the use of temporary self-ruled managerial target teams, being the major element of a synergetic model of socio-economic management, is realized according to synergetic principles and processes. The use of temporary self-ruled managerial target team is realized according to synergetic principles and processes due to which we gain synergetic effect consisting in emerging and system (cooperative) phenomena. The teams are created quite spontaneously due to new educational (social) problems thus quickly reacting at outer environment’s disturbances. In this way, the teams can be considered to be open (dissipated) self-determined systems. The management capacity of the teams stems from their flexibility, multi-targeted nature and staff complexity since the members of the teams are recruited from various strata of society. Due to complexity and diversity of the teams they can react at different social fluctuations including the weakest signals of social-economic environment. The teams are quite self-determined and creative units since their temporary staff is recruited from different socio-economic establishments; so the teams’ members are not strictly fixed and are not materially dependant on team’s activities which gain creative character: one of the major characteristics of creative activities is connected with non-pragmatic orientation of the person involved in creativity thus revealing non-adaptive modus of a creative artist working according to the principle «the art for the sake of the art»).

The article presents the results of a study of the features of productive scientific and pedagogical activities of higher education institutions teachers. The research has been conducted on the basis of acmeological approach. The analysis of scientific and pedagogical activities of the teachers has been made being based on the study of scientific works and the selection of appropriate criteria (goal-motivational, cognitive, activities, communicative, reflective-productive ones). The three levels of their productivity are differentiated. The highly productive level is characterized by such aspects: teachers' scientific orientation, the interest in scientific knowledge, the constant need to generate new ideas, high-level research knowledge and skills, the desire for continuous self-development, high level of research competence. The productive level is characterized by such aspects: teachers' inherent need to acquire value-oriented innovative knowledge, pertinent skills, continuous self-improvement, significant effectiveness of scientific and pedagogical activities. Ineffective teachers are characterized by such aspects as low motivation and lack of interest in scientific research, low efficiency of scientific activity. The dependence of the motives for further scientific and pedagogical activity on the level of teachers' productivity has been proved in the process of the research of their acme-peculiarities. It has been proved that it is the creative nature of teachers' activity that allows to realize both their own natural potential and the natural talents of young researchers. Thus, the study of acme-features of productive scientific and pedagogical activities of the teachers of higher education has shown that a set of activating factors of motivation, satisfaction and research competence determine the creative orientation of teachers, their desire to reach the acme-pinnacles.

The research stems from challenges which are characteristic of contemporary post-industrial, information and technological stage of development of human civilization. With respect to the initiation of training Masters of nursing in Ukraine a great importance is attributed to the research component of the professional competence of nurses with higher education, i.e. Masters of nursing. Taking into account the insufficient theoretical and methodical status of the problem, the researchers aim their study at developing a new approach to forming the infosphere of nursing as a research speciality on the basis of the theory of fractals. To achieve the goal the authors have used the content analysis of Master’s theses of 150 Masters in accordance with 112 indices, Hurst index calculation included. The calculated Hurst index values testify to a high level of structural organization of Master’s theses, as well as to certain regularities in using information sources in contrast with chaos and the absence of prevailing tendencies. The use of information sources which were referred to by the students of Master’s course for conducting research and writing Master’s theses, as well as the application of the techniques of content-analysis and scientific prognostication have made it possible to determine a number of tendencies in forming the infosphere of nursing as a research speciality. One can observe a pronounced tendency to decreasing the use of paper media as information sources, as well as the tendency to increasing the part of electronic media and the part of information sources in foreign languages. Among the information sources in foreign languages, in comparison with Russian English sources, prevail considerably. The study does not cover all aspects of the mentioned pedagogical problem since the further prospects for studying relates to the analysis of the quantity and quality of intellectual property objects created by the Masters enabling to formulate scientometric criteria for assessing the significance of scientific research of the Masters, thus revealing their ability to create the objects of intellectual property.

The main aspects of interdisciplinary ICT technology of educational process based on the concept of functional asymmetry of the cerebral hemispheres, which reflect space-time asymmetry of the Universe and constitute a certain psychophysiological focus of human organism, are presented in the article. Its urgency stems from the tendencies of contemporary world, evolving towards the information society (or the "society of knowledge") and influencing the development of modern education, becoming increasingly multimedia-rich and psychologised. The authors consider the major peculiarities of cognitive strategies of brain’s hemispheres, which should be taken into account in modern educational systems that apply versatile multimedia means in teaching different academic disciplines. It is shown that training information offered to the students can be differentiated by the right (abstract and verbal) and left (concrete and graphic) video sequences, which corresponds to hemispheric information processing strategies and promotes the synergetic state of synchronization of the hemispheres functions. And the encephalographic studies show that such functional synchronization, revealing the medication state of human brain, presupposes the integration of two information processing strategies, leading to harmonization of the processes of the first and second signalling systems. The algorithms of the most effective influence of multimedia presentations of teaching materials on a student based on the concept of functional asymmetry of human brain are substantiated. These algorithms presuppose combining the "left" and "right" information in such a way that the volumes of two types of information would form a harmonious (golden) proportion.
