The article reveals the features of the use by cadets of a military university of an electronic textbook in the process of studying physics. The relevance of using an electronic textbook in a military university is due to the need to adapt as much as possible to specific general educational and professionally oriented disciplines, increase the activity and motivation of cadets, and strengthen the mastery of educational material. In this study, the electronic textbook is presented as a component of the electronic textbook, which completely replaces or complements the paper version. The author highlighted the distinctive features of the electronic textbook: interactivity, focus on several channels of perception, taking into account the individual characteristics of students, using different ways of presenting information in a dynamic form with links and additional materials, modeling and visualization, activating students' motivation, a combination of theoretical and practical material, opportunities automatic knowledge control. Since training at a military university is related to military service in secrecy, the use of electronic textbooks allows not only to cover the entire cadet staff, improve the quality of training, increase student activity, but also ensure the relevance of training and practical material.

Rather than the view of the entrepreneur as a ‘lone ranger’, recent work has focused on the importance of teams in bringing a start-up to growth and success. Here, we aim to bridge the gap between the individual characteristics of entrepreneurs and the characteristics of their teams by examining openness of founders in relation to creative team environment (CTE), innovative work behaviour (IWB) and performance. On the basis of upper echelon theory and integrating other complementary theories such as the attention-based view, we develop a theoretical framework and test this using a survey of 322 high-tech entrepreneurs. Our findings suggest a mediating role of CTE and IWB in the relation between openness of entrepreneurs and performance. The implications of the results for managerial practices and future research directions are discussed.

The current article integrates research on proactive personality, career theory, and perceived organizational career growth opportunities to propose a typology describing four career scenarios that may occur for individuals based on their level of proactivity (high or low) and perceived organizational career growth (high or low). We present turnover intention and performance as career-related outcomes that characterize these scenarios, ultimately arguing that proactive personality likely moderates the positive effects of organizational career growth opportunities on individual career outcomes, such that the benefits of organizational career growth are likely to be most beneficial for highly proactive individuals. Using an interactionist perspective and social cognitive career theory as foundations, this conceptual article illustrates how the benefit of organizational career growth opportunities for individual career development may depend on the individual characteristics of employees.

The organic combination of music and choreography in the conception of ballet performances thanks to co-creation of the conductor and the choreographer is considered. Insufficient research of the chosen theme, the need for a thorough analysis of the implementation of ballet performances in traditional and untypical conditions are detected. The specifics of conducting practice in opera and ballet theater are compared. The common features and differences in conducting techniques and approaches in the specified types of arts are outlined. The crucial role of the orchestra in the reproduction of the inner and outer life of stage characters in a ballet performance is clarified. The task of the conductor in the work on the score of the ballet performance and in identifying the line of its stage action is singled out. The interaction of dance parties and orchestra in traditional and non-traditional locations of ballet performances is analyzed. The attention is given to the specifics of the conductor's work in these conditions, the accompaniment of ballet, taking into account the difficulties of choreography. Conducting techniques in simultaneous performance of ballet parts by dancers and an orchestra in traditional circumstances of demonstration of performances are illustrated. The peculiarities of the conductor 's work in non-traditional locations of ballet performances are investigated. Conducting approaches to the realization of ballet performances in non-standard conditions of their demonstrations are determined on the basis of the experience of leading artists and the author of the article. Emphasis is placed on the need to find individual solutions to ensure the simultaneous performance of parts by the orchestra and dancers. It is proved that in traditional conditions to achieve the integrity of the orchestral sound and performance of dance parts, the conductor must take into account the individual characteristics and capabilities of ballet dancers to ensure the appropriate tempo- rhythm. In untypical locations of ballet performances, the conductor must be creative, find individual techniques to ensure his visual contact with the artists, synchronizing their performance with the orchestral sound.

For years, the field of gifted education has supported the contention that gifted children should be identified and served at the beginning of their formal school experience in order to keep them interested and challenged by learning. Frequently, the large problem of underachievement among the gifted population has been laid at the doorstep of a lack of such early program opportunities. Yet few extant programs have emerged that provide services to children at preschool age or even early primary. Of course, there have been notable exceptions. The longitudinal research on young gifted children being carried on at the University of Washington has found that preschool gifted children can be identified through multiple measures examined in a case study context; and that they have the ability to learn concepts and skills at earlier stages than their age peers even though the diversity of ability and level of mastery at a particular age may vary widely within the gifted group (Roedell, Jackson, Robinson, 1980). These recent findings corroborate the work at the Roeper School for the Gifted for over 40 years in the area of providing self-paced academic experiences for the young gifted child (Roeper, 1980). The Astor program in New York City found that four and five year olds could function well in a full-day gifted program that addressed both cognitive and affective areas of development (Ehrlich, in press). A program that compared the effectiveness of classroom approaches for use with preschool gifted children found that both an SOI-based classroom and an open classroom were effective, depending on the nature of the individual gifted learner (Karnes, 1978). And even in rural settings, the young gifted child could be served through a consultative model that linked limited program contact time with follow-up parental intervention (Hanninen, 1979). All of these programs have demonstrated the appropriateness of identifying young gifted children using a test battery with reliance on a case study approach for final selection, providing experiences in academic learning for the preschool gifted child who is ready to move ahead and can profit from additional enrichment learning, and nurturing the social and emotional growth of the child through interactive strategies.

Leadership has an important role in the organization as leader is in charge of supervising and controlling the course of an organization. Ability to lead in mobilizing and empowering employees will affect the performance of the organization. This behavior has a significant impact on the attitudes, behavior and performance of employees. The results of the study showed there is a significant relationship between characteristics such as age (p = 0.004), education(p = 0.034), work experience (p = 0.000), the experience of the organization (p = 0.000), and educational hierarchy (p =0.000) for leadership flexibility. Sex variable is not significant to the leadership flexibility (p = 0.801). There is a relationship with the flexibility of directive leadership style (p = 0.027), supportive leadership style (p = 0.046), and participative leadership style (p = 0.009) with the flexibility of leadership. There is aso a relationship between achievement-oriented leadership style and leadership flexibility (p = 0.000). There is a relationship between the individual characteristics of leadership style and versatility with variable: educational level of leadership (p = 0.021; OR = 19.265). The result suggests that we need more organized seminars / work shop / scientific studies that stimulate the realization of learning about leadership flexibility in improving the performance of the District/City Health Office and it is necessary to study theperformance of the head of the Department of Health assessment intensively and periodically

The article highlights the leading ideas of Ukrainian scientists – philosophers, psychologists, educators – about the ways of individualization of education in the period of its reforming on a humanistic basis (1991-2014). The provisions of the personality-oriented paradigm of education, genetic psychology, psychology of creativity, approaches to the education of gifted children are reflected. It was substantiated that since the mid-1990s, education and upbringing in the Ukrainian school began to modernize in the spirit of the new post-non-classical education model. According to it declared, it wasn’t the acquisition of a person’s amount of knowledge that was recognized as a value, but the development of person’s potential and capabilities, the process of its creative self-actualization and self-realization, that is, the personalityoriented model of school education, the value of school education. It is shown that Ukrainian scientists in their studies substantiated the humanistic paradigm of subjectivity. It is shown that V. Kremen as the President of the National Academy of Education of Ukraine develops the paradigm of human centeredness in the context of the synergy of the value-cognitive meanings of the educational process and in the context of the actual philosophical problem of «complexity». The post-non-classical Ukrainian system of education is approved based on its informatization and computerization, and the development of the individual is largely based on the possibilities of the information space. However, the methodology of the activity approach remained in the study of the personality of the student. Ukrainian scientists created the basis for the study of the students’ psyche not as a combination of individual mental functions and cognitive parameters, which is characteristic of functional and cognitive psychology, but as an integrity with all the individual characteristics and manifestations that the person as a subject develops, organizes and controls.

Issues and considerations raised in the article are related to the identification (assessment) of gifted children, often described in literature, in relation to selected theories  of ability. It is very likely that a gifted child characterized by the specificity of early childhood, commonly defined as intelligent, with high cognitive abilities, will abandonits innate, unique potential, entangling in various types of “problems”, taking on the features of the syndrome of inadequate school achievements, etc. in the future, as a result of adverse environmental impacts, the coincidence of events. The individual case studies presented in the article are intended to illustrate the significance of individual impacts on a gifted child of preschool age, due to the specific developmental peculiarities of this period.

Text of the abstract. The article reveals the problems of development of children's creative talent in out-of-school educational institutions. It has been determined that gifted children (children with special educational problems) are the most vulnerable in society in the modern educational space. They require special attention from teachers, parents, psychologists and doctors in the process of education, training, adaptation, socialization and personality realization in a fast changing world. The uniqueness of the concept of "creative talent" of the child is proved. The work of scientists is analyzed, components and indices of child giftedness are studied. Indicators of giftedness are abilities (intellectual, artistic, musical, choreographic, artistic, technical, sports) to a certain type of activity. Creative abilities form the basis of the development of creative talent of the child. Out-of-school educational institutions in Ukraine have long-standing traditions of teaching and upbringing students according to their interests, preferences, and individual abilities. The principles of their activities allow taking into account the individual characteristics of each child. The multifaceted system of interrelated pedagogical techniques and technologies enables a wide range of content, forms and means of teaching students, provides an alternative to meeting the spiritual needs of the child, her interests, cognitive and intellectual opportunities based on the differentiation and individualization of the educational process. The reseаrch is based on the example of the work of the Vinnytsia regional station of young naturalists. Researchers need further attention to identify early gifted preschoolers, ensuring the continuity of the development of giftedness of children of preschool and primary school age.
