The purpose of the study is to compare at the physiological and functional levels, the effectiveness of speech and music perception among musicians and non-musicians. The study was conducted in 2018 in Ningbo University in Zhejiang Province (China) on 235 students aged 20-21. The results showed that in the experimental group, when perceiving music, symmetrical hemisphere interaction parameters dominate (p ≤ 0.05), in both groups, right-hand parameters dominate in speech perception. The third group showed a difference in the depth of decrease in the amplitude of the alpha rhythm with respect to the resting state (p ≤ 0.03) in the low-frequency range when listening to a fragment of Slavic folklore. The interaction of the cerebral hemispheres determines a high result in the processing of music. The latter manifested itself when listening to Slavic music: the width of the alpha-1 range is wider when listening in comparison with the state of rest.

The article describes the rules and procedures for hiring and evaluating the professional competence of teachers on the example of China, where there is a system for evaluating the professional competence of teachers.

As law enforcement officers work in the system person-person they must possess the ability to stop conflicting parties� opposition, resolve conflicts on the basis of the rule of law. So developing conflict managing skill is crucial in professional training of future law enforcement officers. The article purpose is to identify the impact of the pedagogical conditions of the development of future law specialists� ability to resolve conflicts on the level of this skill development. Research methods were the following: general theoretical ones (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction); general empirical ones (observation, pedagogical experiment, adapting techniques: �Tolerance Index�, �Methods of diagnostics of the communicative installation� etc.); statistic methods (criterion X2 ). An experiment was conducted on the basis of Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University (Kharkiv, Ukraine). The sample was 144 persons. Two experimental groups were created. In E1 (n = 52) the effectiveness of the pedagogical conditions (creation of a cultural and educational environment aimed at educating humanistic values of students; mastery of knowledge on conflict resolution; creation of various professional cases) was checked in the process of teaching law students and their internship. In E2 (n = 48) extracurricular educational activities were added to the above work. In control group C (n = 44), there was no mentioned purposeful activity. The research results: the number of law students with a high level of conflict management skill in group E1 +26.9%, in group E2 +41.7%, in group C +18.2%. The conclusion is about the importance of the complex application of the mentioned pedagogical conditions that may be effectively adapted for developing conflict managing skill in the professional training of other specialists.

Developing personal responsibility is crucial in all spheres of life. Since young people represent the future of the world and are the most active part of population it is topical to develop students� responsibility and Physical Education classes have great potential for it. So, the article is dedicated to the problem of developing university students� responsibility in Physical Education classes. The purpose of the article is to verify experimentally effectiveness of the methodological instruments of partnership interaction in Physical Education classes in order to develop college students� responsibility. The methods of the investigation were general research methods of theoretical level: analysis and synthesis of related researches; empirical level methods: testing, interview, ranking, method of expert assessments, pedagogical experiment, numerous diagnostic techniques. The material of the research involved 215 students of Kharkiv Cooperative Trade and Economics Special College (Ukraine): students of the experimental group (n=100) and the control group (n=115), who attend Physical Education classes as part of the main group. The results of the research have shown the change in the level of developing students� responsibility in the experimental group due to methodological instruments of partnership interaction in Physical Education classes. In the control group there was no mentioned purposeful activity. Overall increase in the average coefficient of responsibility development was 0.20 in the experimental group and 0.05 in the control group.

The article describes functions and authorities of academic councils of Ukrainian universities as the basis of their autonomy in historical aspect. The purpose of the paper is to study academic council activity evolution in Ukrainian Universities of the XIX-th century through singling out and characterization its stages from the modern standpoint to strengthen university autonomy, develop the quality of university management and prevent mistakes and shortcomings of the previous period. The applied methods were: general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison, systematization, and generalization) and methods of historical research (chronological, logical-historical, historical-typological, and retrospective). The most important findings have become distinguishing and characterizing four stages of activity of academic councils in Ukrainian universities within the studied period: I stage (1804 - 1835), II stage (1835 - 1863), III stage (1863 - 1884), IV stage (1884 - 1906). Characterization of the stages of academic council functions and authority development from the modern position has demonstrated that in order to develop the quality of university management as well as educational service quality universities need real university autonomy, which should be strong enough to prevent mistakes and shortcomings of the previous periods.
