The purpose of this study is to analyses the studies about science, technol-ogy, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in the world by using the content analysis method and to reveal the trend in the field. In this study, which was carried out in a survey design to analyses the articles pub-lished in the Institute for Scientific Information web of science database be-tween 2010 and May 2020 and to determine the research trends of the arti-cles published in this direction, 100 articles selected by criterion sampling method were examined. In the selection of articles, attention was paid to in-clude studies on ‘STEM Education’ with respect to perspective of emerging technologies in learning. After examining the articles, the articles were analyses by content analysis method. The articles were examined in terms of descriptive information about the identity of the article, cate-gory field, article subject area, method, sample, data collection tools, data analysis methods and discussion size. The research data were interpreted based on the percentage and frequency findings, and data were presented as tables and graphs. According to the research data, it was determined that the highest number of publications was published be-tween 2016 and 2018, mostly studies with 2 authors were conducted, and almost all of them were written in English. In addition, it was determined that the number of hypotheses was mostly 2 or 3, and STEM education as a subject area was mostly han-dled covering all its dimensions, whereas mathematics and science educa-tion took second place. It was also observed that the experimental model and the mixed method were used extensively in the studies, and the written sources were frequently used as data collection tools. It was concluded that one-third of the sample level was primary education level studies, the sam-ple selection method was purposeful sampling, and the discussion size was 3 or 4. Based on the current research analysis, the pro-file and trends of the articles were monitored and important recommendations were made in the framework contributing to scientific research.

The article considers the constitutional foundations of public administration in the context of globalization. The current legislation in the field of public service does not meet the quality requirements of the law since it does not establish the basic principles, the sequence of stages, and their essence regarding the competition, promotion, and certification of public servants. Therefore, this issue has been regulated at the level of by-laws, which contradicts the constitutional order. This concerns both the scope and content of human rights and freedoms, as well as the criteria for their restrictions provided by the Constitution and laws. In practice, the appointment of officials to bodies and institutions will mean reaching a consensus since it considers the representation of political forces. Members of such independent bodies and institutions should be appointed for a certain period and have a limited right to hold office. They cannot be dismissed at the discretion of public authorities but only through a judicial procedure. This will guarantee the independence of these bodies in the context of globalization transformations.

The article provides information about the way of obtaining chitin-chitosan biosorbents from the fungus Rhizopus oryzae, using mild deacetylation and demineralization conditions. Such physicochemical properties as deacetylation degree, total ash, weight loss on drying etc. were determined. Method of obtaining the chitin-chitosan complex, shown in the current study, allows to obtain a pure biosorbent with a high degree of deacetylation possible to be further used as entero-and hemosorbent.

The paper analyzes the key methods and technologies of extracurricular work currently used in higher education institutions. The authors present the major literature review on various aspects of the theory of education, as well as existing approaches in this field. Also, using general scientific and special methods of scientific research, the authors dissect various forms of extracurricular work, the use of which is accompanied by the selection of certain technologies. The paper also considers the experience of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation. The study shows the carry out extracurricular work out in numerous areas, such as support for talented youth; development of the creative potential of students, volunteering, self-governance; education of the basics of citizenship, patriotism, responsibility and promotion of a healthy lifestyle. The assay of the methods available to the university shows the most effective one is to focus efforts on three key areas: the formation of students’ individual qualities for practical activities arranging, and a student’s stimulation (or punishment). According to the study results, the authors developed practical recommendations on the use of methods and technologies of extracurricular work, as well as they presented the organizational structure, general methods and special technologies of extracurricular activities for the formation of a personality with a conscious civic position.
