The purpose of this research was to identify whether the integration of the automated vocational e-courses into vocational education could bring the students to the same academic achievements as the tutor-moderated ones, and whether the stakeholders of education perceive the automation of e-learning positively or negatively, and what impact factors triggered their perceptions. The baseline study used the ecourse evaluation checklist to assess the e-course structure and content from eight randomly selected universities. Four hundred and four students and thirty-one instructors participated in the baseline study, first pilot, and core experiment. The instruments utilised to monitor the variables in the pilots were as follows: the sampled students' academic records, a Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test, a Rasch Measurement Model, and the Kolb's Learning Style Questionnaire. The IBM SPSS Statistics 5.0.0.1. Software package was used to process the data drawn for the above measurements. The above measurements were followed by the focus group and nine education stakeholders' perceptions analyses using the Triangle Assessment Method. The study provided new evidence that automated e-course delivery can lead to approximately the same statistically significant improvements in the students' vocational competence, academic motivation, and learning styles proving that it 28 ©2020 The authors and IJLTER.ORG.

Additionally, it suggested that the use of automated educational e-course assisted by a virtual agent had been a more cost-efficient option.

The article analyzes the problems of formation of professional competence of future philologists by means of computer oriented technologies in terms of introduction of computer-based education in higher education institutions (HEI). Author determined a model of future philologists professional competence formation by means of computer-oriented information and communication technologies (ICT); singled structural components of the model of professional competence of future philologists formed by means of computer oriented ICT (target, content, technical, productive) and revealed their relationship to the specific future linguists’ careers; proved the thesis that the studied problem is of particular importance because of the necessity of informatization of higher education and usage the computer-oriented ICT in the educational process of the university.

The aim: the researching for potential of the computer-oriented educational environment of higher educational establishment as an instrument of forming of professional competences for future teachers. Task: to expose essence descriptions of the computer oriented educational environment in modern higher educational establishment; to describe features of forming of professional competences of teachers by facilities of the computer oriented educational environment; to consider the practical aspects of application of cloud learning technologies in the process of professional competences forming of philology teachers. Research object: process of forming of professional competences of future teachers by facilities computer oriented educational environment. Research subject: the using of the computer oriented educational environment in process of forming the professional competences for future teachers. Research methods: theoretical methods, that analysis of philosophical, psychology-pedagogical, educational- methodical and instructional methodical literatures with the purpose of determination of the state theoretical ground of problem, and also generalization of the got information, front-rank and personal pedagogical experience, in the improvement of organization of studies. Research results: Enables to carry out some theoretical generalizations. At first, the awareness of importance of upgrading professional preparation a future teacher in industry of application of the computing engineering, providing of lead through of mass compute studies of young people, predetermines on the stage of acquisition of trade education the necessity of decision of tasks of studies of computer deed, acquisition of professional competences, specific qualities of user of various facilities of informatics, and computing engineering. Secondly, use of potential possibilities of the computer oriented environment of studies as for future teachers will give the mean of forming of professional competences possibility them in the process of implementation of professional tasks to realize not only informatively technological but also psychology-pedagogical aims which will show out the process of school education on a high-quality new innovative level, will provide personality development of student's young people. Conclusions and recommendations: will point future research on development of the computer oriented methodic of forming the professional competences for future teachers in philology in the educational process of higher educational establishment.

Finding ways of implementing civilian control in the activity of the armed forces and law enforcement agencies has been a challenge in Ukraine. The purpose of this study was to identify the international best practices to establish relationships between the civil institutions and the military so that those could be adopted in Ukraine. It also sought to update the refresher course for civil servants by introducing two modules that are based on the shortlisted best practices. We used case study research based on the exploratory research strategy and a pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of the updated refresher course for civil servants. The course was delivered offline to 358 civil servants in 2019 and 246 in 2020, and online to 119 in 2021. Forty-five randomly selected students who had completed the course responded to a course satisfaction survey. It was revealed that the process of building civil-military relationships in Ukraine was in the transitional stage. In addition, there was a need for educating and training civil servants in developing legal, regulatory, and procedural frameworks for building civil-military relations and exercising civilian control over the military and law enforcement agencies. The novelty of the study is in updating the curriculum of a refresher course for civil servants and providing recommendations to the government and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. Further research is needed in identifying how the public media could contribute to educating citizens on civilian control of the military and law enforcement bodies.

The article validates feasibility of the investigational research of the problem of formation of the future teachers’ professional competencies by means of a computer-based methodology; it determines the author’s approach to the interpretation of the essence of the computer-based methodology for the formation of professional competencies of the future teachers; it specifies the structural components of the computer-based methodology of formation of professional competencies of the future teachers: goals (objectives) of learning, content of learning, forms of educational process organisation, methods and tools of learning; it specifies the most effective traditional and computer-based forms, methods and tools of learning of Pedagogical disciplines for the students obtaining a Bachelor’s degree. This article discusses the interconnectedness of open source education and tools of the computer-based methodology for the formation of professional competencies of the future teachers; it reveals the structural components of professional competencies (subject-learned area, information and digital, communicative, personality, creativity) of the future teachers; works out the criteria (motivation-based and goal-setting, professional and cognitive, vocational and cognitive, reflexive and evaluational components), indicators, and levels (based on the analysis level, elementary (reproductive) level, creative (advanced) level) of formation of professional competencies of the future teachers in the settings of educational process at higher education institutions; highlights a complex of general scientific theoretical, empirical and statistical methods and consolidated results of a pedagogical investigation (analytics and search, experimental (ascertaining and formative) and bottom-line and correctional stages) on the study of the problem of the formation of professional competencies of the future teachers by means of the computer-based methodology in the settings of learning the disciplines of Pedagogy.
