Problems of Reforming and Financing Education and Science as Fundamental Elements of a Knowledge-Based Society (p. 27 - 32)
In today's world, one of the main factors in the development of knowledge economy is education, which is considered as a basic «producer» and «distributor» of knowledge. Conversion of both knowledge and human capital in one dominant factor of economy development determines an increase of synergy between education and economic processes, enhances its role in the formation of knowledge economy. At the same time, further development of education and science is impossible without upgrading the financing system and establishing a conducive institutional framework. In the world practice, financial support for education is based on a combination of budgetary and extra-budgetary resources. This combination is able to provide financial autonomy of educational institutions. Subjection of the education goals to the knowledge economy, creating innovative products and formation with this aim of institutional, legislative and financial frameworks will allow to achieve high results in development of countries and raising social standards for the citizens. Particular attention should be given to finding financial resources for development of education as knowledge economy-oriented sphere.

Quality of Vocational Education in Ukraine: Legal Aspects (p. 33 - 37)
The article analyzes the contents of basic normative documents regarding the responsibility for both quality of vocational education and control over their use in practice. It has been determined that one of the main features of a professional standard is participation of employers in determining the requirements to the competencies of workers. It has been specified that development of qualification characteristics in Ukraine is implemented by the Ministry of social policy. This means either unsatisfactory development of occupational standards or formalist approach to this process. Professional standards should comply, firstly, with the qualifying characteristics of profession and, secondly, with the original level of graduates. It has been suggested to inculcate expert estimating of documents' quality by efforts of concerned parties – employers, principals of educational institutions and students. The most important estimation should be given by consumers of educational services, i.e. by employers. Carrying out field studies of effectiveness in the use of legal instruments appears reasonable as well.

The article is concerned with generalizing the national and global experience of assessing quality of both the higher education and the educational-production activity of educational institutions on the basis of accreditation criteria. The author of the article has substantiated that, among the existing approaches and models for assessing the higher education quality, the accreditation model takes a specific place, its criteria are mandatory, fixed at the national level through relevant legislation and regulations. The current model of accreditation of educational institutions in Ukraine makes possible to evaluate, first and foremost, the resource supply of educational process together with education results with relation to personalities, while ignoring the entire results of evaluation of higher education as well as satisfaction of the requirements by all parties interested. At the same time, the accreditation models for assessment of the higher education quality in the other world's countries are evaluating both processes and resources, as well as correspondence of the obtained results with the declared purposes. Such approach to assessment is provided by carrying out internal and external evaluation of the quality of higher education.

The Main Directions of Improving the Management of the Higher Education System (p. 157 - 162)
The article is aimed at determining the mechanisms of improving the management of the system of higher education in the context of the current regulatory support, which will be the means to solve the problem of inefficient functioning, lack of financing, and low quality of higher education. The factors, causing negative impact on development of the higher education system were analyzed, the most important of which are the lack of financing and the shortcomings of the legal support of the education sector. It has been determined that a shortage of funds and lack of communication between the education sphere and employers reduces the efficiency of management of the system of higher education. The legal support of the educational activities requires improvement due to the declarative nature of individual provisions on the management of the system of higher education. Consideration of the legal factor is necessary for regulating the decentralization of management in the education sphere, improvement of financing, perfection of the system of control of the education quality. Ways for decentralizing the management of the education sphere, increasing its effectiveness, and improving the economic status of higher education institutions, have been suggested.

The article is aimed at exploring the cross-correlation dependency between the 11 selected indicators of the scientific-innovation and educational activity of the regions of Ukraine over the past years using the standard features of the MS Excel software. The calculated values of the pairwise coefficients of Pearson correlation changed from 0,66 to 1. The worst-case correlation coefficient, which changed from 0,7 to 0,8, was observed only with the number of students at the beginning of the academic year 2015/16. The article provides seven selected equations of linear regression and their graphs, with the latter equation corresponding to the worst correlation coefficient between the number of students and doctoral candidates (R = 0,6574). The first five equations of linear regression conform to correlations between financing the costs for completing scientific and scientific-technical works by the regions of Ukraine and various indicators of the scientific-educational potential of personnel. In all five cases, there was a high correlation dependency. As result of the study, fairly high correlation relationships among all indicators have been obtained. Prospect for further research is accounting for a larger number of indicators of the scientific-innovation and educational activity of the regions of Ukraine.

The Ways to Improve the Provision of Resources for Higher Education Institutions in Ukraine (p. 100 - 105)
The article is concerned with an assessment of the allocation of financial resources of universities in terms of both the current and the capital expenditure by means of analyzing the public procurement of the important higher education institutions in Ukraine and elaboration of proposals for improving efficiency of the provision of resources for the national higher education system at the university level. To achieve the purpose set, an analysis of public procurements for 50 leading Ukrainian universities, ranked in the «Top 200 Ukraine» from August 1st, 2016 to July 31st, 2017, has been carried out, using the ProZorro analysis module. It has been found that the share of capital expenditures of Ukrainian universities is lower than in European countries, which has a negative impact on the resource potential of higher education. As a result of the carried out analysis, most of the purchases for higher education institutions are before-threshold and are implemented in a noncompetitive procurement process through the conclusion of a direct contract with the supplier (contractor), which indicates the insufficiently efficient use of financial resources. Recommendations to improve efficiency of the use of funds in terms of public procurement have been made, which would contribute to an increase in the level of the material-and-technical provision of universities and to an improvement of the provision of resources for higher education.

The article identifies and systematizes the existing legal obstacles to the autonomy of higher education institution and develops recommendations to overcome them. The approaches to establishing the legal status of institutions of higher education in the current legislation of Ukraine are characterized. The impact of the legal status of higher education institution on its legal personality and the institutional autonomy has been determined. Views of scholars together with foreign experience of property titles in the imposition of property on higher education institution, were analyzed. Directions for the development of legal regulation of the system of public law legal entities in Ukraine have been defined. In order to ensure the development of the model of public administration in the sphere of higher education, it has been proposed that most of the higher education institutions should change the legal status of public legal entity – budgetary institution to the status of private legal entity – profitable or non-profitable higher education institution of the public / communal form of ownership, for which the founder would regularize property on the right of ownership. This will eliminate the conservatism, strict regulation on the part of the State, that is linked to the status of publicity, and, in order to develop the autonomy of higher education institution, will allow to take advantage of dispositivity inherent in private law entities in determining their legal personality.

International Ratings as the Main Characteristics of the International Educational Services Market (p. 266 - 273)
Ratings have become an integral attribute of the global market for educational services. Despite the fact that none of them fully reflects the real picture, it is the ratings that today form the social reality. The main factor of the university’s success is its reputation in the national and international educational markets. In this process, ratings play a key role: getting into the world or national rating for the leading places, the higher education institution (HEI) significantly increases its attractiveness not only for applicants, but also for employers, investors and the State, which can provide it with additional subsidies. The main rating groups, which in today’s conditions form the impression of higher education institution and determine its place among similar institutions in the world, are allocated. The features of each of the allocated ratings are specified, the top of each rating is analyzed. The main difference between international ratings is, first of all, in the preponderation of the valuation of research activities over the valuation of educational and social missions of universities. This explains the position of the Ukrainian HEI in them, because the national educational institutions are still focused on the educational process. Because of this, the organizations that form ratings are positioning the Ukrainian HEI as those being outside the market of educational services. The participation of Ukrainian HEI in each of the allocated international ratings is analyzed. It is defined that the international academic ratings include only classical and technical universities of Ukraine. The same situation is typical for the scientific component of educational activities. At the same time, according to the results of the carried out analysis of Internet ratings, which are now gaining popularity among entrants, Ukrainian HEI do not give due attention to the role and capabilities of the Internet environment, which puts them a few steps lower compared to their global competitors.

The Corporate-Entrepreneurial University in the Context of the Higher Education Market Development (p. 273 - 279)
The article considers the need to transform Ukrainian higher education institutions in the context of development of the knowledge economy and formation of the market for educational services. It is noted that, given the problems in higher education, namely the lack of financing, the decrease in demand for domestic educational services, etc., it is advisable for the management of higher education institutions to restructure the management structure towards a capability to adequately respond to changes in market conditions and provide for financial independence. It is defined that in such circumstances it is advisable for higher education institutions to consider their work as an entrepreneurial activity, which should be carried out on the basis of corporate governance. The article is aimed at developing a scientific-methodical approach to defining the essence of the term of «corporate-entrepreneurial university» in the context of improving its management in the face of increased competition in the educational services market. It is proposed to consider two capacities of this term: entrepreneurial and corporate. The article analyzes the approaches to identifying the essence of the term of «entrepreneurial university» and ascertains the ambiguity of scientists as to its interpretation. It is determined that the vast majority of authors identify the business activities of universities with innovation activities. It is found out that the term of «academic entrepreneurship» is widely used in the scientific plane, the meaning of which is similar to the meaning of «entrepreneurial university». It is proposed to consider academic entrepreneurship as a set of actions that is focused on profit, while the entrepreneurial university be defined as an educational organization that operates on the basis of academic entrepreneurship, the efficiency of which is ensured by the interaction of such elements as education, science, business and innovation. It is defined that a corporate-entrepreneurial university is a higher education institution that carries out a comprehensive activity to form and develop the educational and entrepreneurial potential of society on the basis of corporate management in order to generate profit and gain social effect along with ensuring the academic freedom of teachers and students.

Econometric Analysis of the Supply and Demand of Educational Services Concerning the Specialty 051 «Economics» (p. 279 - 288)
The article uses econometric methods to build the models of supply and demand for educational services concerning the specialty 051 «Economics» and the educational program «Economic Cybernetics». Samples in the models include almost the entire list of higher education institutions, providing studies in the specialty 051 «Economics» and the educational program «Economic Cybernetics», according to data as of 2019. As a quantitative indicator of the offer, the article uses the cost of educational services for the first academic year under the terms of the contract, the demand – the number of applications submitted. As explaining variables considered as a number of objective characteristics of higher education institutions (HEI) are used the following: the number of budget-financed and licensed places, status, form of ownership, and others. As a subjective characteristic, the concept of «elite» is used, defined by binary change. Using quantitative experiments (based on assessments of the adequacy parameters of the models) it is determined that the elite ones should include the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, the National Technical University of Ukraine «Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute», the National University of «Kyiv-Mohyla Academy». The hypothesis of use by the State-owned HEI of the dumping price strategy has been justified in the modeling of the proposal. Differences have been found in attitudes towards the objective and subjective characteristics of HIA by the administration of HIA (supply) and by applicants (demand).

Formation of Motivative Activity of Students of Accounting and Economic Specialties in the Results of Educational Activity (p. 289 - 294)
The basic aspects for motivation of students of accounting and economic specialties in learning outcomes are disclosed in the article. The overall effectiveness of learning outcomes was studied by the level of satisfaction of their needs (from primary to secondary) in the accordance with A. Maslow’s theory. The factors which influence the learning outcomes of students of accounting and economic specialties are spectrally determined. It is argued that the nature of the student’s educational activities, including the form of its conduct, significantly affects his interest in learning outcomes. Possible types and forms of stimulation, primarily material, of Ukrainian students in achieving high results of study abroad, on the example in Poland, are fragmented. European universities have a prerogative before domestic ones in improving the effectiveness of student education by guaranteeing students a high level of education and social guarantees, scholarships and successful employment in the specialty after graduation, that is indicated in the article. It is emphasized that one of the important factors in improving the students’ own learning outcomes in Poland is adequate financial support, as students can receive different types of scholarships that are comparable with the results of studies. Relevant recommendations that will help increase the motivational activity of students in their learning outcomes, which is to develop and maintain a cross-cutting educational policy both at the national level and at the level of the respective university are provided. The recommendations as to stimulation of students in learning outcomes mainly relate to financial security and further employment in the chosen profession as listed in the research.

The Role of Indicative Self-Cost in the Formation of the Market of Educational Services in Ukraine (p. 295 - 305)
The publication takes into consideration the current status of the Ukrainian educational services market, it is focused on the competitive relationship between public and private higher education. The dominant tendencies in the transformation of higher education sphere are shown. A detailed analysis of the mechanism for the formation of a minimum tuition fee for higher education is carried out in the context of the introduction of indicative self-cost. Based on the statistics observations of the distribution of the level of average monthly wages in the regions of Ukraine and the city of Kiev, a comparison of the minimum wage (minimum indicative self-cost) for tuition in the specialty 051 «Economics» (ES «Bachelor», day form of training) with the average cost of education in the same specialty for 2019 is carried out. It is displayed that only in three regions the minimum cost is less than the cost of training under the contractual terms in the specialty 051 «Economics», and for two of these three regions the figures are almost equal. Based on the graphic representation of supply and demand curves for private and public education, the possible consequences of the introduction of indicative self-cost of educational services (training) are presented. It is shown that for three regions the introduction of indicative self-cost in 2020 can have a moderate impact on the redistribution of students studying according to the contractual form in favor of private education. However, for all other regions, and especially for the city of Kiev, there will be significant changes in favor of private education, provided there are licensed places in the private HEI, both the existing ones and the established in 2020.

Problems of Selecting the Priority Directions of the Science and Technology Development in Ukraine (p. 50 - 58)
The article is aimed at studying the normative-legal and methodological problems of substantiation and selection of priority directions of the science and technology development in Ukraine. The research methods: analysis of legislation and scientific literature, generalization, systematization. It is substantiated that setting priority directions of the science and technology development is an important aspect of scientific and innovation policy of the leading world countries. On the basis of the carried out analysis it is defined that the main problems of legislative and methodological support for selection of priority directions of the science and technology development in Ukraine are: inconsistency of the normative and legal support of the development processes and implementation of priorities; mismatch of priority directions of scientific and innovative activity; absence of forecast documents on the basis of which it is necessary to substantiate development priorities; determination of priorities in the sphere of fundamental scientific researches is non-specific. To adapt the procedures for selecting the priority directions of science and technology in the spheres of fundamental or applied research, it is proposed to differentiate appropriate methodological approaches to their selection depending on the specifics and directedness. Selection of priority directions of applied researches should be brought into accordance with the priorities of the country’s innovative development, scientific and technical research and development potential, demand for innovation and the relevant scientific developments by entrepreneurial structures, requirements to ensure ecological conditions for production, etc. The methodology for selection of priority of fundamental researches should be based on the following determinants: structure and retrospective dynamics of national scientific potential in the fundamental sphere; ability to forecast the effects of using the knowledge gained; the stakeholders’ interests and goals; trends in the development of world science; systemacity and interdisciplinarity of studies; public opinion; opportunity to evolve over time. It is concluded that legislative and methodological support of processes of substantiation and selection of priorities of the science and technology development needs to be improved in view of the interests of stimulating Ukraine’s economic growth.

The Hierarchy of Guiding Documents of the State Policy on the Provision of Scientific and Scientific-Technological Activity in Ukraine (p. 37 - 45)
The article is aimed at studying approaches to the hierarchy of guiding documents of the State policy in Ukraine, as well as researching the provision of strategic documents for the management of scientific and scientific-technological (SST) development in the country. The used research methods are: logical analysis, systematization, generalization. It is defined that at the official level there is currently no established hierarchy of guiding documents of the State policy; none of the regulatory acts in Ukraine relating to strategic planning at the State level consider the possibility of developing such strategic documents as doctrines and conceptions. The analysis of the hierarchy of the current guiding documents of the State policy on the provision of scientific and scientific-technological development of some world countries showed the existence of one of two conceptual and doctrinal regulations (doctrine or conception), which at the abstract and conceptual level determine general approaches to strategic regulation of NNT activity. The carried out analysis allowed to more accurately define the essence, content and overall structure of the documents of long-term State planning, namely: «conceptions» and «strategies». Consideration of the main strategic documents regulating scientific and scientific-technological activity in Ukraine showed that the conception of NNT development was adopted more than 20 years ago (in 1999), and the main program documents, which were aimed at forecasting scientific and scientific-technological development, had lost validity before 2012. There is no present strategy of NNT activity. The system of strategic planning and regulation of NNT activity requires significant improvement, updating of the conception and elaborating a development strategy of NNT activity. The authors substantiate the necessity of elaborating strategic documents on regulation of NNT activities for the more effective operation of the country’s innovation system, which is required by the general state of the national economy and the need to find the most efficient methods of using the knowledge generation subsystem.

The article is aimed at studying aspects and methods of teaching international economic relations in higher education institutions of Ukraine. On analyzing the latest research and publications by scholars, the general theoretic foundations of professional training of future economists of international relations were considered. The article highlights and theoretically substantiates the problem of training future specialists of international economic relations in higher education institutions of Ukraine; the main aspects and methods for elimination of this problem are defined. The methods of teaching economic disciplines in universities, which are directed towards improving the educational process, are presented; the application of information technologies in the process of mastering the material is analyzed. Thus, the professional activity of the student is primarily connected with the analysis of specific factual material, figures, analysis, etc. However, such is the picture at first glance, and if you delve into the essence, it becomes clear that a professional – economist of international relations has to be able of figuring out people, actions and specific events in accordance with the information analyzed. In general, one can say that the purpose of economic education is to form modern economic thinking in the context of combining the ordering of economic reality and awareness of one’s place therein. In this regard, special attention should be paid to higher education, in particular the study of international economic relations, training of competitive specialists of this specialty. To do this, new approaches to the introduction of remote studying technologies in the conditions of credit and transfer system of organization of educational process should be implemented.

The Higher Education System of Ukraine in the European Educational Space: Place and Development Prospects (p. 97 - 109)
The article is concerned with defining the international position of the higher education system (HES) of Ukraine in the European educational environment. It is proved that the current stage of development of the world higher education system is characterized by significant transformations that change the paradigm of the functioning of the traditional university to the paradigm of the formation of an innovative-active higher education institution (HEI) of the entrepreneurial type. The article is aimed at developing a methodical approach to determining the attractiveness of the national system of higher education in the European educational space, taking into account modern trends of transformation of universities into entrepreneurial business entities. The approach, which on the basis of search experiments allows to cluster Ukraine and 27 European countries and determine not only the overall level of attractiveness for the period 2013–2017, but also (due to spatial clustering for 2013, 2015 and 2017) separately allocate the latent trends (both positive and negative) in the attractiveness levels of the analyzed countries, is proposed. The information space of grouping of countries is formed, which due to the combination of indicators (mental readiness of society to obtain higher education; financial readiness/government opportunity to support the development of the higher education system; readiness of universities as structural elements of the higher education system to provide high-quality educational and scientific services) allows to get a systematic idea of the phenomenon of attractiveness of the higher education system. The carried out computations showed that the national HES is losing its high international positions and requires deep systemic modernization in the direction of creating a stimulating basis for the development of autonomous, innovation-active HEIs of the entrepreneurial type.

The Factors of Competitiveness of the Higher Education Institutions of Ukraine (p. 109 - 116)
The article is concerned with studying the factors of external and internal environment that ensure the competitiveness of higher education institution (HEI). It is proved that the competitiveness of HEI is expedient to consider as an innovation-active activity, which acts as a critical condition for the long-term and sustainable economic development of education in the modern global knowledge economy. The article is aimed at identifying the competitiveness factors of the HEI of Ukraine as the basis for the formation and further development of an innovation-active university in the current conditions of transformation of the national higher education system. The carried out systematic and morphological analysis allowed to group the factors by the degree of influence on the competitiveness of HEI (client-orientedness; source of financial resources; innovation and investment potential; strategic management; rationing of labor; internationalization; monitoring; informatization; quality of training of applicants) and to build a graph of the relationship between these factors. An hierarchy of the university’s competitiveness factors is proposed, which allows to combine goals and objectives directed towards forecasting, improving, solving, modeling, analyzing educational processes. This, in turn, will act as an instrument for comprehensive assessment of the level of competitiveness of an HEI. The carried out analysis and application of the problem-oriented approach allowed to define five levels at which the mutually conditioned hierarchical influence between factors was determined, which would be the basis for the formation of conceptual measures directed towards increasing the competitiveness of HEI.

The Prerequisites for Educational Training of Specialists in Economics and Entrepreneurship on the Basis of Mathematical Statistics Knowledge (p. 139 - 145)
According to the purpose of the article, which is aimed at substantiating the compliance of the acquired competencies of higher education applicants in the field of economics and entrepreneurship with the content and the amount of program knowledge in mathematical statistics, a number of publications on this issue are analyzed. The existing competency-based approaches and peculiarities of training mathematics, as well as the essence of propedeutic knowledge and requirements for their subject matter are highlighted. The narrowed application of propedeutic knowledge and the lack of a systematic approach, taking into account interdisciplinary connections, are indicated. On the basis of the educational and professional program «Entrepreneurship, trade and exchange activities» the content of the working program of the discipline «Quality Management, standardization and certification» is analyzed. The essential tasks of the discipline are determined using statistical methods for the control and management of quality of products and services that require deep knowledge about mathematical statistics. The mechanism of establishing compliance of basic knowledge of the subject matter in mathematical statistics with applied tasks of quality management is proposed. The authors have elaborated the algorithms of systematization, evaluation and analysis of sampled data together with determination of type and parameters of their statistical distribution, corresponding to the main tasks of mathematical statistics. The presented algorithm of research is accompanied by visual diagrams, which step by step reflect the course of solving statistical tasks with the relevant formulas, tables and recommendations, which contributes to better and more conscious assimilation of the material. On the example of studying a particular professional discipline, a systematic methodical approach to the formation of propedeutic knowledge of an interdisciplinary nature with the setting of tasks in certain types of economic activity is substantiated. It is proposed to extend the use of developed approaches to other areas of knowledge in the sphere of education.

Digitalization of the Educational Process: The Views of Students (p. 94 - 98)
The article is aimed at exploring the students’ views of the process of digitalization of the educational process, comprehending the consequences of digitalization, defining its capabilities in modern conditions, as well as proving the need for its use for the development of the individual and the acquisition of professional competencies. In domestic higher institutions of all forms of education, digitalization is rather forced than weighted and voluntary in nature. Compared to european colleagues, digitalization in Ukraine is but a forced, temporary step in counteracting the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. But, given the unforeseenness of the pandemic, it may be necessary to digitalize the educational process over a long period. Therefore, in our opinion, it is necessary to identify directions for improving online learning in higher education institutions. Students are faced with the peculiarities of organizing the educational process online, in particular: the need to independently allocate time; digital format of communication with classmates; individual performance of not only independent work, but also tasks at seminar classes; lack of sufficient digital competencies among teachers, etc. At the same time, the online training regime generates in the students the development of high self-discipline for the rational distribution of educational time for the study of lecture material and the preparation of individual and other types of work; self-control over the timely performance of basic gymnastic exercises in the periods between double classes; as well as self-development and self-education, that is, the possibility of online visits to additional webinars / trainings / lectures, etc. That is, at the second stage of digitalization of the educational process, after adapting to its features, it is easier to feel the potential of positive opportunities for participants. However, it is impossible to complete the search for directions of the online learning optimization, which, for example, are associated with psycho-emotional, physiological negative changes in health, ensuring high quality of the educational process, uniform educational load during working periods, etc.

The article explores and analyzes the problem of gender equality among cadets and students of higher educational institutions, in particular aviation and technical. The appropriate methods and main aspects of solving the problem are defined. In addition, various methods for introducing gender equality into the educational process are provided and the relevant work of the teacher during classes is presented. At present, gender equality among cadets and students of aviation and technical universities is an urgent problem in Ukraine, because the humanization and democratization of modern society envisage the orientation of our State towards establishing universal human truths and standards. First of all, gender theory should be integrated into the system of scientific knowledge and educational disciplines. Educators should implement planned educational activities aimed at identifying and neutralizing gender stereotypes that form the basis for non-compliance with gender parity and discrimination. Thus, teachers should ensure gender equality among students of higher educational institutions, including cadets and students of aviation and technical higher educational institutions. It is also worth noting that observance of human rights is being formed as a certain ideal, the main means for which is the achievement of the general principles of law, and its fundamental principle is the multi-aspect principle of gender equality. However, given the aforesaid matters, equality of genders does not mean only their biological identity or ignoring physical capabilities along with the mental and psychological characteristics. On the contrary, differences should not be negatively reflected in the living conditions of both men and women, thereby causing discrimination.

Analyzing the Demand for Educational Services of Higher Education Institutions in Terms of Individual Specialties (p. 111 - 118)
Ukrainian higher education is in a state of reforming, which aimes at improving its quality and is accompanied by a reduction in its generality. During the admission campaign in 2020, the concept of «indicative self-cost of educational services» was for the first time used, the purpose of which was to reduce the demand for training at the expense of individuals (contract) in the State-owned higher education institutions. The publication considers the study of the efficiency of the State regulation of qualifying for a government scholarship as to certain specialties. For this purpose, data on the results of the 2020 admission campaign from the unified State electronic database on education were used. The educational space was divided into several subspaces, for each of these the ratio between the number of applications submitted and the license volume was obtained. It was found that the most in demand for a long time are specialties related to jurisprudence, in the smallest demand are specialties of engineering, where the competition is two applications for three budget places (1.50). The publication uses econometric methods of analysis of digital information, assessments of the elasticity of the introductory score according to the general competition and its marginal value are carried out. Recommendations on refusal of expert assessments in the regulation of the students’ admission and redistribution of financial resources in favor of high-demand specialties are provided.

Commercialization of Higher Education: The Balance between Benefits and Risks (p. 72 - 77)
The article is aimed at studying the peculiarities of commercialization as a modern global trend in the development of higher education and analyzing the main strategies for reforming universities. The relevance of the publication is due to the reform of the sphere of higher education in Ukraine and the need for competent borrowing of best practices of educational systems from the leading foreign countries. It seems important to find answer to the following question: thanks to which educational model western universities have received significant achievements in all directions of activity? Ambiguous evaluation of commercialization processes both among the Western and Ukrainian academic community causes the expediency of this study. As a result of the study, it is defined that commercialization means the transition of the higher education system to market relations on the basis of the introduction of new management methods that change its position in society, contribute to the capitalization of knowledge and research results. The peculiarities of formation and manifestation of the process of commercialization are determined, among which the most significant are the change in the role of the State in the sphere of education financing, transformation processes in the forms and types of provision of educational services, diversification of the funding sources. The essence of the concepts of «commercialization», «comodification» and «managerism» is identified and characterized, their relationship in the approaches of transformation of educational institutions into institutions for educational services, and students into consumers, is substantiated. The detection of commercialization of higher education in the context of «academic capitalism» is considered. The content and forms of «academic entrepreneurship», tasks and functions of the «entrepreneurial university» are analyzed. It is concluded that the entrepreneurial university is the most financially successful model of the educational institution, which combines modern requirements and traditional values of higher education on the basis of innovative activities. The carried out analysis of scientific articles and researches allowed to identify differences in the process of commercialization in American and European educational systems. Prospects for further research are to study the best world practices of commercialization of higher education institutions and determine approaches to their adaptation and directions of efficient implementation in Ukraine.

The article is aimed at studying and analyzing the factors influencing the functioning of the education sphere, as well as evaluating the threats, challenges and opportunities for the introduction of distance learning as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The article analyzes the main problems of the education system of Ukraine during the transition to distance learning during the pandemic: lack of a sufficient number of teachers who would have experience in distance learning; problems with digitalization of educational institutions and applicants; lack of access to training facilities and Internet coverage in small towns/rural settlements; extensiveness of remote lessons in time; lack of national guidelines for the organization of distance learning; increasing the level of social tension among both teachers and students; nutritional problems for vulnerable population groups; decrease in academic mobility and others. A SWOT analysis of distance learning in Ukraine in modern conditions was carried out. The presence of weaknesses of distance learning is noted and directions of using the opportunities and advantages of distance education are outlined, i.e.: increasing the level of education of the population as a whole; obtaining education in leading educational institutions; a likely reduction in student migration, which will facilitate an increase in the standard of living of the country’s population. It is noted that distance learning has certain threats – high competition with well-known higher education institutions that have long and successfully offered educational services online; lack of copyright protection mechanisms for developers of distance courses at the State level, etc. Some directions of the State support for distance education in Ukraine are proposed, which, first of all, should include measures to provide educational institutions with computer equipment and modern software, the development of high-quality educational material for use in distance learning, and so on.

The means, rules and principles of the culture of social digital responsibility and digital instruments that should be used in educational institutions in conditions of inclusion have been formed, because they help in attracting as many students as possible to the learning process and in easier assimilation of information. It is determined that the modern culture of social digital responsibility in the context of educational inclusion should contain not only the rules of conduct during communication or the use of the world wide web and the means of involving all students in the educational process, but also the basic principles of activity. The main problems of formation of a culture of social digital responsibility in the context of educational inclusion are also specified. The problem of forming a culture of social digital responsibility in the context of educational inclusion contains two components: the problem of digital behavior culture (students/teachers), and the problem of digital learning. The latter outlines the need to create conditions for the conscious perception of educational information by students/pupils, to attract their maximum number to the educational process through the use of effective digital instruments, the development of the authors’ own educational methodological approaches for any form of education (remote/full-time)

Financial Provision of Institutions of Professional Pre-Higher Education: The Essence, Normative, Organizational and Accounting Aspects (p. 84 - 90)
The article is aimed at studying the main features of institutions of professional pre-higher education (colleges) as structural subdivisions of higher educational institutions and the peculiarities of their financial provision, as well as developing proposals for its optimization and accounting display, including in the direction of development of sources that are viewed as a structural subsystem of the financial mechanism. As a result of the study, the need to optimize the financing of education and its further development is proved. On the example of institutions of professional pre-higher education, the problem of reducing the number of applicants for education and educational institutions is identified, which negatively affects the level of supplying the Ukrainian labor market with specialists. The connection of the level of financing with the State policy on the development of education in Ukraine and the use of a new budget mechanism in this area, which stipulates the transfer of a number of pre-higher educational institutions to financial provision from local budgets, is determined. A significant impact on the functioning of pre-higher education on the part of the adopted Law of Ukraine «On Pre-Higher Education» is identified, which, among other things, defines the possibility of not only budgetary support, but also funding at the expense of other sources that are not prohibited by law, with the obligatory observance of the principles of targeted and effective use of funds, publicity and transparency in decision-making. The authors examine the problems that have occurred in the system of professional pre-higher education and it is concluded about absence of a comprehensive, scientifically based program of financial provision for the activities of educational institutions, which would create a financial basis for the strategic development of pre-higher education in Ukraine in the context of globalization and informatization of society. In its development, it is proposed to take into account all possible sources of financing, as well as to improve the accounting system in the direction of separate display of its revenues in the context of relevant sources and to form a working plan of accounts accordingly. The expediency of applying such a form of financing of social projects and target programs of educational institutions as fundraising, which represents a specially organized process of gathering monetary means for the implementation of projects of non-profit organizations, is substantiated. Financial provision of colleges based on fundraising can be carried out using instruments such as grants or payment for services on a contractual basis. Innovations in financing affect their accounting, and this issue is currently under-researched. Therefore, research on the issues of improving both the synthetic and the analytical accounting of financial provision from various sources, as well as the development of a system of documentary support of fundraising relations between counterparties, are perspective.

Comparative Analysis of the Types of Organizational Structure of Higher Education Institution Management (p. 111 - 118)
The modern stage of modernization of both the national and the world higher education system necessitates the transformation of higher education institutions into entrepreneurial, innovatively active organizations that are able to quickly adapt to volatile changes in the external environment. In this regard, many issues require a new solution regarding the management of higher education institutions (HEIs), i.e.: ensuring the quality of higher education, training the personnel, appropriate to labor market, providing various educational services, ensuring the continuity of education, and improving the organizational and economic mechanism of management of HEI. From the point of view of the system approach, a HEI is seen as an open system, a mechanism for converting input information or resources into final products, where effective organization of internal processes becomes one of the most important ways to obtain its competitive advantages. Based on the analysis of the main properties of HEI as an open dynamic system, it is defined that the most important systemic characteristic of university is its organizational structure, which includes four main aspects: description of the structure of subdivisions and departments; connections between them and the external environment; information circulating on these connections; functions performed by structural units and departments. The article is aimed at studying various types of organizational structure of management of higher education institution, determining the specifics of their application in the activities of the university, which operates in an open informational and educational space. The main types of organizational structure of management of HEI, built on the classical principle, are distinguished; weaknesses and strengths of their application for the management of HEI are determined. It is proved that the organizational management structures, built according to divisional and matrix types, are promising, since only they are able to adequately and promptly respond to changes both in the internal and external environment of HEI. A list of requirements to meet the contemporary, effective organizational structure of a higher education institution is formed, the highlighted requirements are: optimality, operational efficiency, reliability, economic efficiency, flexibility and stability of the management system. The carried out study allowed to conclude that a higher education institution in the process of its life cycle should timely adjust its strategic goals of activity and make adequate changes to the organizational structure in accordance with the new conditions in which it functions.

Identifying the Main Problems of Education and Science Development in Ukraine in the Context of Global Instability (p. 131 - 143)
The article defines that the economic growth of the world countries today depends on their ability to create and augment new scientific knowledge, as well as make use of this knowledge through the elaboration and implementation of innovative products and technologies that bring to the fore the development of education and science in the countries. At the same time, scientific and educational activities in Ukraine remain insufficiently in demand, which negatively affects the socio-economic development of our country. Thus, the purpose of the research is to identify the main problems of education and science development in Ukraine in the context of global instability. According to the results of the carried out analysis, the list of problems of development of educational and scientific activities in Ukraine is determined, their catalog is formed (which includes 63 positions), as well as a grouping of problems in six separate blocks is made, including: inconsistency of content and quality of scientific and educational activities to the actual needs of society and the national economy; inefficiency of management in terms of science and higher education; insufficient level of funding and unsatisfactory logistical support of higher education and science; deterioration of personnel support of scientific institutions and higher education institutions; weak integration of science and education of Ukraine into the global and the European educational and scientific space; distortion in the formation of a contingent of students of the higher education institutions of all levels. After allocating the main problems of the problem field and constructing the primary cognitive map, the importance of problems and relationships between them was assessed on the basis of the Saati hierarchy analysis method. Based on the calculation of the coefficients of weight of the problem in each group, the types of problems (resulting, root, nodal) are determined, as well as primary cognitive maps of the problems included in each group are built and the relationship between them are researched. The analysis of the composition of the main blocks of problems in educational and scientific activities in Ukraine allowed to prove that most of them are caused by an imperfect management system in these areas, as well as the lack of mechanisms of interaction between all stakeholders of the educational and scientific process.

Integral Assessment of Educational, Scientific and Innovative Activities and Research of Their Impact on the Economic Development of Ukraine (p. 114 - 123)
The article is aimed at carrying out an integral assessment of educational, scientific and innovative activities in Ukraine and researching their influence on the economic development of the country in dynamics. Research methods are: logical, statistical, correlation, graphical analysis, matrix method, T. Saati’s method of analyzing hierarchies, comparison. The article proposes a methodical approach to the integral assessment of educational, scientific and innovative activities, which includes: standardization of indicators, determination of weight coefficients of each of the indicators, and calculation of integral indicators according to individual elements of the chain «training of bachelors – training of masters – training of scientific personnel – scientific potential – scientific results – innovative activity – economic development», as well as calculation of the degree of their mutual impact. The integral indicators that characterize educational, scientific and innovative activities are calculated; the impact of training is assessed as follows: bachelors on the preparation of masters; masters on the training of scientific personnel; scientific personnel – on scientific potential; scientific potential – on scientific results; scientific results – on innovative activity; innovative activity – on the economic state of the country. The dynamics of changes in the provision of these activities is examined. The calculations made it possible to determine tendencies in the development of education and science in Ukraine and the main problems to cause them. One of the significant problems is the inconsistency of the chain between educational, scientific and innovative activities and the real sector of the economy, which has led to a decrease in the scientific and scientific-technical potential of Ukraine, low scientific results and low rates of innovative development. It is defined that further inappropriate attention to these problems on the part of the authorities can lead to the complete destruction of both educational, scientific and innovative activities in the country. All this accounts for the need to develop a clear vision of the directions of development of the domestic educational and scientific spheres, which will take into account both the real opportunities of the domestic economy and global development trends along with global challenges.

Hybrid Learning Strategy: The Theory and Practice of Use (p. 40 - 44)
The National doctrine for the development of education provides for the active introduction of modern information-communication technologies (hereinafter referred to as ICT), which could ensure further improvement of the educational process and contribute to improving efficiency. The use of ICT in the educational process is no longer a fashionable innovation, but a vital need. At this, the experience of complete transition to online learning has revealed a number of considerable shortcomings that significantly reduce the effectiveness of the educational process. That is why the purpose of the article is to study the digitalization of the educational process, to define the optimal ratio of the use of ICT in the educational environment to achieve the greatest effect that can be expressed in the creation and use of a hybrid learning strategy, as well as to demonstrate successful practical experience on the example of a business organization. For the study of the identified problems and solving the set goal, methods of analysis and synthesis, systematization, scientific abstraction, comparison and generalization were used. In the course of research, it was found that the digital transformation of education is an integral part of its development and consists in the introduction and use of ICT-based electronic digital devices in the educational process. Still, a full-fledged transition to an online education system for Ukrainian educational institutions is currently impossible, since it is necessary to take into account the factors of digital skills of teachers and students, the availability of technical equipment, tools and support technologies that require significant improvement. Therefore in order to ensure maximum efficiency of the educational process, it is advisable to apply and expand the boundaries of the use of a hybrid learning system that combines traditional and online learning in the proportions necessary for a particular group of students. The hybrid learning system eliminates the shortcomings that can arise when using either only classroom-based or only e-learning. Also a significant advantage of the hybrid learning system is that it can be applied in various forms, adapting to the requirements of a particular student. The hybrid learning system is already successfully used in business organizations, for example, at the Academy of Corporate Education of the Ukrainian company «DniproM», but in the State-owned educational institutions such a system is still not widespread, which is the basis for further scientific research.

The Impact of Non-Formal Education on the Development of an Efficient Economy in Ukraine (p. 57 - 61)
During all the years of independence, Ukraine has been taking certain steps towards the introduction and formation of modern trends in education at the official level. The article is aimed at analyzing non-formal education in Ukraine from two perspectives: as workplace training, when formal education is supplemented by non-formal education due to partnerships between universities and companies; and as training in the process of work, when employers recognize the need to invest in human resources and explore novel ways to provide training opportunities for their employees. The relationship between non-formal education and productivity is also emphasized and, according to the conclusions made, proposals for Ukrainian companies have been formed. Education, both formal and non-formal, has a significant and direct impact on the formation of human capital, on which the growth and development of the State largely depends. Formal education is obtained mainly through the system of education at primary, secondary and higher levels, and non-formal education has a direct connection with professional experience in the workplace. Both options of education are considered long-term investments, because educational activities are indirectly related to the degree of preferences in terms of the passage of time and are directly connected to the efficiency of the functioning of the learning system. Non-formal education contributes to the formation of the individual and has a great influence on the level of its productivity. People often face a choice: what is more rational to spend time on – work or education? However, there is an alternative that reduces the need for replacement through the time factor and facilitates the accumulation of knowledge through productive activities. And this is non-formal education. The implementation of non-formal education for employees in Ukrainian companies can be a big and powerful step in their development and increase of competitiveness in both domestic and foreign markets.

The Development of Higher Education Institutions in the Context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (p. 60 - 67)
The purpose of the article is to identify and systematize promising directions and problems of development of higher education institutions in the context of the fourth industrial revolution (IR4.0), taking into account the influence of its main technologies and the innovations created on their basis for both the labor market and the personel training system. According to the results of the carried out analysis, in accordance with the proposed sequence of procedures (technologies; innovations created on their basis; consequences of their introduction; impacts on the labor market and the personel training system), the possibilities and threats to the development of higher education institutions caused by the introduction of IR4.0 technologies are identified and systematized. Taking account of them, promising directions for the development of higher education institutions are defined, the problems of their implementation are outlined. A systematization of the selected directions is carried out according to the incentives that create conditions for their implementation. A schematic diagram of the functioning of a higher education institution in the conditions of IR4.0 as a self-managed system is proposed, which, by analogy with industrial enterprises, allows combining with the help of IR4.0 technologies into a single complex the following: human potential (staff and students); resource potential (tangible and intangible resources); processes (scientific, educational and auxiliary), etc. The practical aspects of using favorable opportunities for innovative development based on IR4.0 technologies by leading universities of Ukraine are considered. The obtained results together deepen the fundamental aspects of innovative management of a higher education institution in terms of improving the approach to the formation of the methodological base of the organizational and economic mechanism for managing strategies for its innovative development in the context of IR4.0. Further research should be aimed at developing methodological approaches to management according to formalized procedures for the selection and implementation of strategies for the innovative development of higher education institutions in the context of IR4.0, which is rapidly gaining strength.

Indicative Self-Cost as a Factor in the Formation of the Educational Services Market: The Regional Aspect (Example of Specialty 072 «Finance, Banking and Insurance») (p. 123 - 129)
The article assesses the impact of the introduction of indicative self-cost on the volume of recruitment of regional universities (on the example of higher education institutions of the Dnipropetrovsk region, which recruit applicants for education on the bachelor’s degree on the basis of complete general secondary education in the specialty 072 «Finance, Banking and Insurance»). The carried out analysis of the indicators of the admission campaign for the specialty in Ukraine showed that during 2019-2022 the volume of the State procurement decreased, and the volume of recruitment of applicants for the contract increased during 2018-2020, and in 2021-2022 it had a significant decline. This is explained by the implemented norm for setting prices for educational services not lower than the calculated minimum cost of education. The analysis of prices for educational services in the HEIs of the city of Dnipro in 2020-2021 showed that prices for education in accordance with the new system in public universities increased 1.17–2.05 times, with the exception of private HEIs and higher education institutions of agrarian orientation, which is non-profile for the analyzed specialty. In addition, prices turned out to be higher than those of leading universities, which are leaders in recruitment for specialty 072 in Ukraine. The evaluation of the results of the admission campaign in in the HEIs of the city of Dnipro in the context of the introduction of indicative self-cost showed that recruitment indicators decreased in all universities (except for those where there was a significant increase in prices). In addition, the share of the region’s recruitment in the number of admitted to studying according to the specialty in Ukraine has also decreased. This indicates negative trends towards a shift in the preferences of applicants from admission to public HEIs to admission to private ones as well as non-profile universities (usually in a technical direction) due to the lower price of educational services. In addition, as result of a sharp increase in prices in regional higher education institutions, they have lost a competitive advantage over prestigious universities in the capital city. Until the end of martial law, the related resolution was suspended, which affected the results of the admission campaign in 2022, but the reduction in recruitment is associated, in particular, with a decrease in the number of outbound applicants to Ukrainian universities.

The Prospects for Recognition of Economics Specialties and Digital Assessment of a Scientist in Ukraine (p. 53 - 62)
Scientific research on the prospects for the development of education and science in Ukraine in the context of European integration and information transformation is considered at almost every scientific conference and is present in government decisions of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. However, there are still many unsolved questions (and often debatable) about the prospects for recognizing economics specialties in the new system of adaptation to the International Standard for the Classification of Education, which requires detailed revision. Simultaneously, given the positive trends in the development of the digital economy in Ukraine, we believe that it is worth exploring the possibility of developing a methodological approach to the digital assessment of a scientist. The article considers the analysis of economics specialties that were enshrined in the system of higher education in Ukraine before 2015 and further on, taking into account adaptation to international standards. However, blind copying of foreign standards has buried alive the economic science itself, which was based on marketing, accounting and auditing, and finance. Therefore, the publication presents a graphical model of the relationship between economics specialties through the analysis of the fundamental understanding of its individual directions. It is also emphasized that it is necessary to enshrine in the economic science the specialty «Management (by kinds of economic activity)» at the master’s and doctoral levels of higher education. This can be justified by the fact that not all specialists in a particular sector of the economy (educators, employees of health care institutions, etc.), although they are professionals in their field, due to the lack of knowledge in various disciplines of management and economics, can be efficient managers. Management is one of the directions of economic science, the subject of study of which is the search for methods of rational organization of the production system on the basis of marketing, financial and accounting support for the creation and realization of consumer value and obtaining the planned profit. The number of higher education institutions in each region allows creating new and improving traditional educational programs directly for the specific features of regional business. Thus, further research should be aimed at studying individual educational programs of economic specialties in the regions of Ukraine in order to form a national strategy for the development of higher education for subsequent years. Regarding the development of scientific research in the context of the formation of a digital society, we propose to create a web platform for assessing the scientific activities of scientists based on the results of conferences, seminars or forums on the basis of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine (MES) in cooperation with other educational and scientific organizations. The algorithm of actions should be as follows: an educational and scientific organization coordinates with the MES the relevant scheduled conference; a scientific platform is created on the website of the MES, where interested conference participants register personal pages and which are open to other registered participants; the latter send materials to the educational and scientific organization holding the conference; the educational and scientific organization forms a scientific manual in electronic format, each article of which is displayed simultaneously on the personal page of the conference participant; in the future, each registered participant may, if desired, express his own scientifically based comment and rate for this material (0–100 points). Therefore, further scientific research should be aimed at determining the classification criteria in establishing points for scientific material in accordance with the assessment «Excellent, can be implemented (90–100 points)» to «Unsatisfactory, requires significant revision (up to 50 points)».

Assessment of Differences in Perceptions of Consumers of Educational Services about the Image of Universities (p. 149 - 156)
The purpose of the study is to quantify the level of divergence (similarity) of perceptions of potential consumers of educational services regarding the image of universities in order to strengthen their competitive position in the market of educational services. Within the terms of this purpose, the authors were given the following tasks: to assess the level of differences in the perception of the image of the university by consumers of educational services; to identify the sources of formation of their ideas about the quality of educational services. The article solves the problem of forming a positive image of universities in Ukraine in the context of determining its components, which, according to the results of a survey of students, had the most significant impact on the choice of a higher education institution (HEI), as well as determining the level of divergence of the criteria for its choice by consumers of educational services. An assessment of the image of higher educational institutions in the city of Kyiv is carried out according to the totality of external and internal local components, making it possible to identify the main priorities for choosing a future consumer of educational services. It is determined that the main components of the image when students make a decision to enter one or another from the studied higher education institution are: scientific cooperation with foreign higher education institutions; international partnerships; the scale of educational activities; infrastructure of the university. Based on the results of the study, matrices of perception of the image of universities have been developed and distances between them have been determined, which allow to identify the level of divergence of perceptions of consumers of educational services about the image of universities. Distinctive features of the obtained results are that they allow to determine how the perceptions of consumers of educational services change in the process of obtaining them in the studied universities, also to allocate those components of the image that should be given the greatest attention by HEIs in the process of forming a further strategy for attracting and retaining consumers of basic services. The sphere of practical use of the obtained results is the system of public administration bodies in the field of higher education, management bodies of higher education institutions.

Improvement of the National System of Lifelong Learning (p. 123 - 129)
The aim of the article is to update the current state of the national lifelong education system and to formulate proposals for its improvement through the wide involvement of higher education institutions (HEIs) in this process. On the basis of the analysis, systematization and generalization of official documents that in recent years regulate the sphere of lifelong education in Ukraine, also the plans on the part of the national state-based structures for the further development of the direction of «Adult Education», the main problem areas, the current state and vectors of development of this sphere are identified. As a result of the study, it is proposed to develop the system of adult education in Ukraine, including through the creation of creative hubs in higher education institutions, accessible to different categories of the adult population (by age, level of previous education, skills). University hubs as centers of creative entrepreneurship should be built on the interaction of human creativity, ideas, knowledge, technologies, protection of intellectual property; they should gradually alter the economic life and social climate of local communities for the better through joint intellectual, emotional, and material practices. At that, university creative hubs as centers of cooperation between institutions and individuals will contribute to the formation of practices of openness, trust, and the development of professional associations of local communities. The prospect for the development of creative hubs of HEIs is the impact on other spheres of public life, such as employment policy, social, humanitarian policy, Euro-Atlantic integration (through advanced training and retraining of the population, promoting its employment, better informing communities, opening new opportunities for representatives of business, public organizations, etc., international cooperation, and so on). Therefore, further research in this direction should be the development of practical recommendations for the formation of a platform for horizontal economic and social interactions of the university creative hub with the local community.

The Consolidation of Educational and Scientific Technologies as an Imperative to Ensure Transparency of Enterprise Development (p. 146 - 151)
It is determined that the economic nature of such a phenomenon as recession of any economy always outlines the alternative choice: the model of institutional inertia for the sake of protecting the internal ecosystem of a national economy or changing its configuration for the purposes of transformation and strategic development. It is concluded that the need to overcome the system challenges facing the Ukrainian economy and ensure sustainable development in the current conditions proves the expediency of intensifying the formation of a public system of innovations and, too, of strengthening the strategic scientific and technological forces. By deepening the reform of scientific and technical education, it is necessary to form a system of technological innovations, which considers enterprises as subjects of the innovations, which is market-oriented and provides an in-depth integration of production organizations, universities and research institutions. It is expedient to strengthen support for small and medium-sized enterprises in their innovative activities, to stimulate the commercialization of the results of scientific and technological activities, to form an innovative culture, a culture of protection and use of intellectual property rights. It is necessary to train a large contingent of strategically valuable scientific and technical personnel of the international level, leaders of scientific and technological activities, young specialists in the field of science and technology, to create high-level innovative teams. The creation of a modernized economic system is an urgent requirement due to the need to overcome barriers and the strategic goal of development. It is necessary to put quality first, giving priority to efficiency.

Introduction of the Principles of Development of Regenerative Entrepreneurship in the Process of Training Management Specialists (p. 154 - 160)
The aggravation of economic, social and environmental problems of today necessitates their reflection in the research sphere and in the educational process of higher education institutions. Nowadays it is important to ensure the restoration of the regenerative properties of the natural resource potential and the development of a circular economy. The aim of the article is to highlight the possibilities of introducing the principles of development of regenerative entrepreneurship and the implementation of the circular economy in Ukraine in the training of future managers. Currently, the theoretical provisions of management and economic science are being criticized; there is an urgent need to bridge the gap between theory and management realities. The practice of regenerative entrepreneurship is becoming more and more widespread, which, in relation to business, is combined with the positive impact of entrepreneurial activity on the environment, primarily natural. The dynamism of market conditions requires continuous improvement of methods and techniques of teaching students in accordance with the requests of stakeholders and trends in the development of the higher education system. The article reflects the need for the development of responsible management education and the reflection of the principles of regenerative entrepreneurship in the process of training management specialists. The interest of business entities in solving individual management problems contributes to the establishment of close ties between the research, training and production spheres, which is a prerequisite for attracting effective methods in the training of management specialists. At present, along with traditional teaching methods, the use of interactive teaching methods, in particular the analysis of specific situations, has become widespread in the training of future managers, which provides a combination of mastering theoretical provisions and acquiring practical skills in the field of management. The authors consider possible objects for the use of the method of analysis of specific situations regarding the development of regenerative entrepreneurship in the training of specialists in agrarian management. The method of analysis of specific situations is successfully combined with other innovative technologies for training managers (simulation modeling, immersive learning, experimental method, etc.), capable of reflecting the implementation of the principles of regenerative entrepreneurship in the practice of organizations.
