In the conditions of creating a national system of education that will promote the development of personal competences on the basis of culture and art of the Ukrainian people, folk traditions, attracting the younger generation to the achievements of spiritual culture, the issue of formation of future artistic and aesthetic competence by arts and craftsmen becomes a matter of urgency. The subject of research is the process of formation of students of educational institutions of higher education of artistic and aesthetic competence by means of decorative and applied arts. The purpose of the study is to determine the theoretical foundations of the formation of a future teacher of artistic and aesthetic competence by means of decorative and applied arts. To achieve the research goal and for solution of the tasks was to use a set of theoretical research methods: the analysis of philosophical, psychological, pedagogical, methodological and special literature, as well as analysis, synthesis, abstraction, systematization of theoretical data, comparative analysis of the dissertation papers in order to clarify the essence the concept of «professional competence of the teacher»; substantiation of the content and definition of the structure of the artistic and aesthetic competence of the teacher. The article analyzes the notion of competence as an integrative

The aim of the article is to reveal the essence of pedagogical ideas of Mykola Leontovych, a composer and an educator, who defended the need for a closer connection of pedagogy and art, particularly in the field of professional training of future teachers in Podillia region of Ukraine during the late 19th into the early 20th centuries. The methodology of the study is based on the application of historical, chronological, cultural, and axiological approaches, which place the evolution of M.Leontovych’s views in a broad socio-cultural context. The creative scientific approaches of M.Leontovych regarding the necessity of mastering art in the system of vocational training of future teachers were emphasized; the basic principles of the interrelation of art and pedagogy in forming the personality of future teachers were substantiated.

A typical didactic problem associated with teaching the discipline "Health, Safety, and Fundamentals of Occupational Safety" is the low level of student interest in the content of the educational material. The purpose of the study was a critical comprehension of the results of using narratives about alcohol phenomena in the process of studying a specific topic of this discipline by students of a pedagogical higher education institution. Two hundred and forty-six first-year students of Vinnytsia Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi State Pedagogical University took part in the experiment. The data collection tool was a questionnaire that contained eight questions about alcohol phenomena. The level of students' interest in the educational material at the beginning and at the end of the academic year was assessed to determine the reliability of the shift in its features in the experimental and control groups. The significance of the shift in the values of cognitive interest indicators for students of the experimental and control groups was assessed using the G-sign test. The theoretical framework covered the integration of psychological and medical knowledge around the process of forming alcohol addiction. According to the results of the study, the experimental group showed an increase in cognitive interest in the new content of the educational material. The results of the study may be of international importance if they are used to educate students to consciously choose their own range of acceptable alcohol consumption. Keywords: alcohol-related phenomena, cognitive interest, integrated approach, narrative approach, safe behavior

The article deals with the solution to the problem of the low level of machine science knowledge of pre-service teachers of labor education and technology. It has been found out that it is based on a contradiction between the real content of mechanical training of students and the content of technological education of schoolchildren. The goal of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of students' knowledge of mechanical engineering, based on the study of the technology of transformation of mechanical energy of rotational movement. The methods of analysis and synthesis of achievements of machine science and scientific achievements of technological education  have been used. It has been found that in the work of researchers of mechanical science, as well as researchers of technological education of schoolchildren, there are enough guidelines for a well-founded choice of the subject of study. It is described that it should meet a number of different level requirements, for example to contribute to the formation of the technical outlook of schoolchildren; correspond to the content of technological education of schoolchildren; have a polytechnic character; simultaneously belong to different types of working machines. Technical knowledge about it must be integrated with knowledge of mathematics and physics. It must be used in educational projects of schoolchildren being a model of implementation of natural and scientific knowledge in practice, and  suitable for technical construction of schoolchildren. The machine drive as a subject of the study meets all the specified requirements. It has been revealed that the subject of study for the formation of students' general idea about machines should provide a large amount of knowledge about the types of working machines and at the same time a moderate content. It has been established that such contradictory requirements are met by the drive of the machine as a subject of study. It is described that the concept of drive has the property of fractality as far as it enables a free transition from the study of the drive of any mechanism to the study of the drive of any working machines. It is described that the condition for choosing the content of educational material for the formation of students' general idea about machines is the use of the mental operation of abstraction and the corresponding transition from the level of description of the morphology and functions of technical objects to the level of energy conversion technology. It has been substantiated that the didactic value of the basic technical phenomena of the machine drive is the transmission of mechanical motion to a distance, the change of the kinematic parameters of the mechanical motion and the change of the power parameters of the mechanical motion. There has been revealed the importance of the results of this study for the disclosure of approaches to the use of the project method, as well as the use of technical construction for the visual presentation of the basic technical phenomena
