The article presents the results of theoretical and practical analysis of the problem of STEM education in Ukraine. The authors assume that the definition of theoretical and methodological principles of this problem will help create conditions for the effective completion of educational and upbringing tasks in educational institutions. The article reveals the main conceptual principles of the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine 05.082020 № 960-r «On approval of the Conception of natural sciences and mathematical education development (STEM-education)». Implementation of this Conception is envisaged by 2027. This Conception is aimed at the development of STEM-education, its large-scale implementation at all levels of education, establishing partnerships with employers and research institutions and their involvement in the development of natural sciences and mathematical education. The article also reveals the main theoretical and methodological principles of STEM-education such as: methodological principles, resource principles, organizational conditions and human resources, which ensures the success of the implementation of innovative learning in the education system. Creating an educational STEM-environment in an educational institution is one of the main tasks of the current stage of development of STEM-education. The educational STEM-environment of an educational institution is a set of intellectual and material conditions for the implementation of research results, technologies, engineering and integrated knowledge that ensure the self-development of a free and active personality and the realization of creative potential of students. STEM-education is implemented under the conditions of integration of all types of education on the basis of online platforms, media products, STEM-centers or laboratories, virtual STEM-centers, using non-standard methods, such as: STEM-excursions, interactive quests, contests or competitions in areas such as Internet of Things and robotics, STEM -festivals of makers and inventors, scientific picnics, hackathons, etc. The authors assume that the use of the above innovative and interactive methods and forms of work, organically combined with the peculiarities of educational activities, will effectively meet requirements of the Conception of natural sciences and mathematical education development (STEM-education), will allow students to form skills of research and engineering, invention and entrepreneurship, will provide support to students in their professional self-determination.
In the article the authors consider the problems of aging of the population of Europe, analyze the "silver economy" in European countries and the possibility of its implementation in Ukraine. Forms and ways of formation of education of elderly people in Europe are considered. The current state and development of non-formal education of the elderly in Ukraine are studied. Problems and prospects of functioning of third age universities for the national economy of Ukraine are determined. In Ukraine, it is important to realize the potential of education of people of respectable age for the socio-economic development of the state, to preserve its human capital. To create an optimal model of educational environment for the elderly, it is important to provide conditions for maximum satisfaction of educational and communicative needs of this cohort of people, taking into account previous experience, knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as individual characteristics of the elderly.
The article presents the relevance of forming the professional skills of teachers of general secondary education institutions in the context of STEM education development. The study of this problem contributes to the effectiveness of the introduction of innovations and the fulfillment of educational and educational tasks by educational institutions at a high quality level. The content of the article reveals in detail the teacher's pedagogical activity, its types, principles and functions, structural components and levels of formation, professional characteristics of the teacher as an element in the education system. The longitudinal study of the levels of formation of the structural components of pedagogical activity (projective, organizational, communicative, gnostic) of teachers of general secondary education institutions has highlighted the positive impact of STEM education on professional development. STEM education has become a tool for the effective realization of teachers' creative potential to update didactic methods, tools, forms and principles of teaching. The strengthening of the role of STEM education has led to teachers' motivation to teach integrated subjects of the natural sciences, mathematics, and humanities, which also contributed to the improvement of the study results. The development of teachers' professional skills is facilitated by participation in various events at the regional, national, and international levels. At such events, educators not only gain new knowledge, access to new resources, but also have the opportunity to present their own work and exchange new thoughts, ideas, experiences, as well as find solutions to develop a STEM education model for the systemic development of an educational institution.
The article presents the relevance of the study and organization of psychological and pedagogical conditions for the development of STEM education. The authors assume that the study of this problem will contribute to the improvement of the effectiveness of educational and educational tasks of educational institutions. The authors stated that the psychological and pedagogical conditions for the development of STEM education in educational institutions are the purposeful organization of the educational STEM environment in the educational institution; educational and methodical support of educational institutions; improving the professional skills of scientific and pedagogical workers; psychological readiness of teachers for innovative activities; motivation of students for research, design, invention activities etc. STEM education is a tool for implementing the key provisions of the Concept of the New Ukrainian School regarding the renewal of didactic methods, means, forms and principles of education. Strengthening the role of STEM education will increase the motivation of students to study natural and mathematical subjects, as well as engineering, technology, and informatics. STEM education unites the efforts of the participants of the educational process in the formation of the competencies of the students, which will give the opportunity to propose innovative solutions for the economic development of the state and other spheres of society.
У статті розглянуто причинно-наслідкові зв'язки інвестиційної привабливості країни з факторами, що забезпечують динаміку соціального зростання. Встановлено, що між інвестиційними процесами і зростанням рівня та якості життя людей існує тісний взаємозв'язок. Визначено, що стійкий розвиток економіки, який спирається на економічне зростання, і орієнтований на задоволення матеріальних і духовних потреб, забезпечується при збереженні рівноваги історичних екосистем. Ключові слова: розвиток, соціально-економічна система, якість життя населення, інвестиції, інвестиційна привабливість країни. Постановка проблеми. Між інвестиційними процесами і зростанням рівня та якості життя людей існує тісний взаємозв'язок. Саме тому розглядати причинно-наслідкові зв'язки інвестиційної привабливості країни можна лише з факторами, що забезпечують динаміку соціального зростання. Підвищення добробуту, зростання доходів населення припускає своєчасне і якнайповніше задоволення потреб людей в різноманітних благах, що, у свою чергу, забезпечує інвестиційний потік як в середині країни, так і ззовні. Діалектика взаємодії інвестиційної привабливості країни і якості життя заснована на лініях прямого і зворотного зв'язку. Разом з тим, зростання якості життя виконує і важливу економічну функцію, оскільки створює передумови відтворення робочої сили суспільно-нормальної якості, сприяє зростанню суспільного виробництва, підвищенню продуктивності праці і зміцненню потенціалу безпеки, в тому числі і трудового потенціалу. Зокрема, К. Маркс підкреслював, що «...в звичайній, матеріальній промисловості ... ми маємо перед собою певні сутнісні сили людини» [1, c.43]. Зростання рівня життя населення зменшує вірогідність виникнення конфліктів в соціумі, перешкоджаючи розвитку небезпечних і деструктивних явищ економічного і соціального толку. Отже, зростання якості життя не тільки мета, але і засіб досягнення необхідного і достатнього рівня інвестиційного потоку в країну. Саму тому питання підвищення рівня життя населення, як одного з інструментів забезпечення інвестиційної привабливості країни. Аналіз останніх досліджень і публікацій. Різні аспекти рівня та якості життя населення досліджувалися вітчизняними і закордонними вченими: О.
