The article proves that the socialization of adults and children with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) is closely related to development, education, rehabilitation and includes the following neuropsychological aspects: social adaptation, labour adaptation, assessment of prospects for one’s adult life and creation of a non-discriminatory environment in society. Besides, the article shows how the photography club implements such goals, as well as evaluates the effectiveness of its activities. The educational aim of the photography club was to familiarize persons with MSDs with the basic types of working with digital photography and basic computer programmes that enable processing of digital information; to develop their knowledge about the photography and design business, computer skills and independent work skills. The experimental group (EG) consists of 40 leavers (18 males and 22 females) from the Vinnytsia Centre for Social Rehabilitation of Children with Special Needs “Promin”, who were diagnosed with cerebral palsy and six leavers with mild mental disorders. The age requirement for EG is 14-19 years old. The control group (CG) consists of 40 persons diagnosed with CP and seven persons with mild mental disorders (23 males and 17 females). The respondents managed to study different types of shooting: portraits, landscapes, group and individual photography. The photography club used different methods: verbal methods (mini-lectures, stories, explanations, conversations); practical methods (computer exercises, independent work, role-playing games), as well as paid considerable attention to the psychological correction of persons with MSDs. Unfortunately, most options of the respondents for employment are rather passive. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare persons with MSDs for competition in the labour market through psychological training and counselling. It is also crucial to promptly inform them about the dynamics of the labour market. The international relevance of the article lies in an attempt to adjust available electronic and software technologies to labour adaptation of people with MSDs and consider neurophysiological patterns of such a process.

The article deals with the process of updating the content and methods of technological training. The latter aims to form pupils’ skills of independent creativity and educational and handicraft activities, which act as the means of improving education quality. The international relevance of the article lies in the objectification of Ukraine’s experience, which can be used in the post-Soviet countries, given that these countries follow conservative principles in planning and implementing educational content. The article proves that the effectiveness of developing pupils’ experience of independent creativity during handicraft and technology lessons is determined by the following organizational and methodological conditions: comprehending the need for independent creativity; developing pupils’ positive motivation towards independent creative handicraft and technology activities; improving educational and methodological support; using innovative pedagogical technologies and information and communication technologies. The article summarizes research findings of certain Ukrainian and foreign researchers, which adds up to the generalized contribution of its authors.

The theoretical justification of the problem of innovative development of higher education institutions is carried out, and the importance and necessity of innovations in the management of higher education institutions are shown. The goals of the management of the institution of higher education are highlighted, the leading provisions for solving the problems of modern education are proposed, the main principles of the innovative path of the development of higher education are analyzed, the problematic aspects of the management of the institution of higher education in modern society are analyzed. The functions of managing the innovative development of a higher education institution are defined: organizational-executive, informational-analytical, planning, control-analytical, coordination, and motivational-target; it was found that they combine the features of classical management functionsand that are characteristic of the management of innovative development of a higher education institution, and are implemented under the influence of methods: development of management decisions, delivery of management decisions to executors, organizational and methodological support for the implementation of management decisions, obtaining management information.

The relevance of the study is conditioned by the need to implement solutions that contribute to the development of schools and institutions, acting in changed organisational conditions, working using methods of scientific organisation of labour in the system of work of Design and Technology teachers. Solutions that allow organising the learning process using such methods contribute to the implementation of didactic and educational tasks defined by schools and educational institutions. The purpose of these measures is to ensure the implementation of the main curriculum, taking into account the limitations arising from the specifics of the activities being carried out. In the current circumstances, the key issue is reasonableness and consideration of the current state of the organisation of subject training, considering the correct approach to the material provided to students, instructions, and tasks. The purpose of the study is to consider effective methods of scientific organisation of labour in the system of work of Design and Technology teachers. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study consists of the following methods: correlation, empirical, and component analysis. It is important to constantly develop the skills in this area, use the wide variety of modern technologies dedicated to this activity, overcoming the technological barrier. Organisation and planning are one of the main conditions for the effectiveness of any conscious and purposeful activity of a teacher, especially long-term ones, throughout the school year. The system of work of a Design and Technology teacher distinguishes the tasks assigned to such a teacher in an educational institution in the context of the performed functions. The teacher should certainly take into account the tasks that follow from the analysis of the provisions of the educational process that regulate the sphere of activity of a school teacher. The practical significance lies in the productive use of methods of scientific organisation of labour in the system of work of Design and Technology teachers
