Modern children are unfamiliar with the world without a comprehensive flow of information. They live in a "clip culture". They are surrounded by information and do not know how to study it deeply, but instead cover it widely. Educational institutions state that children have begun to lose interest and motivation to learn. This problem has become global. Our study aimed to determine whether the Generation Z interests in relation to their parents' interests have decreased and whether this decreases motivation to study. Online focus testing of two focus groups of 18 people. One group represents Generation Z, and the other - Generation Y. We used the interview method based on Filimonova O. modification of the "Map of Interests" questionnaire. Analyzing the results, we found, first, that the current generation is interested in more fields of activity than the previous (last ranked area of ​​activity today has 33% of followers, in contrast to the past 17%). Secondly, we divided the obtained data into three groups - unchanged interests, decreased interests, and increased interests. Information technologies appeared in the last group. Third, the motivation to learn has not diminished, but the approach to learning has changed. All this leads to the conclusion that the education system must adapt to the needs of ways to obtain knowledge of the new generation. Our research shows that children's lack of knowledge is caused not by their low interest in activities, but by the incorrectly constructed educational process, namely, without considering their "digital" specifics. That is, we observe a transformation of interests rather than the motivation of Generation Z.

Smart education systems and methodologies are based on the deep integration of information technologies in the educational process. Among all the tools belonging to the environment of teaching technologies, wikis have been reported as ideally suited for collaborative learning. Several Universities around the world are running Projects and events about the use of wikis in higher education. Therefore, in this paper the authors explore the use of wikis in the higher educational institutions, being focused on a special case: Wikipedia. Wikipedia presents special characteristics which make it perfect to not only reach the specific learning objectives of a certain particular subject, but also the transversal abilities so demanded today (such as teamwork or social responsibility). Finally, the authors analyze more deeply the experiences about the use of Wikipedia conducted in the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and the obtained results are presented.

The article deals with the creation of unified information-educational environment of an educational institution, requirements to it, the organization of the educational process based on it, as well as all its constituent parts presented in an educational institution. A promising field of research of the problem of information technologies usage in students' learning activities can become the experimental study of the beliefs of students, scientific-pedagogical and pedagogical staff of higher education institutions on e-learning tools and their application in the educational environment. Moreover, it is worthwhile to mention that the problem of effective use of modern ICT disciplines is studied by many professors of higher educational institutions. However, its incorrect usage leads to the substitution of the learning objectives. Nowadays it is possible to reduce the educational process in universities not only by knowledge mastering, but also teaching students to learn and apply their new knowledge and information as effective, as it is possible. Numerous theoretical and practical research characteristics of the information technology in the students’ educational process claim that this approach is a response to students’ social demands and needs, since it contributes to the formation of professional competence of future professionals. One of the most important factors that significantly effects the quality of education is the usage of modern information technologies. Modern graduate students should have special professional tools and solve working problems, using information systems. Thus, the introduction of innovative information technologies in higher educational institutions enables future professionals to expand their potential abilities and encourages active learning.

Обучение поколения Z в высшей школе должно быть адаптировано под его особенности, среди которых повышенная тревожность и отсутствие навыков долгосрочного прогнозирования. Данные черты снижают эффективность традиционного письменного контроля, уступая место более интерактивным игровым методам. Существуют инструменты, доказавшие свою эффективность для проведения текущего и промежуточного контроля, преимуществом которых является интуитивность их использования, а также сокращение времени подготовки и проверки работ обучающихся. Предлагаемые интерактивные инструменты контроля с использованием смартфона положительно сказываются на мотивации студентов, формируют правильное представление о собственном прогрессе и интегрируют цифровые технологии в учебный процесс, что само по себе уже является приоритетным направлением развития современной системы образования. The article focuses on the effectiveness of traditional assessment tools applied in higher education for teaching generation Z, considering the fact that the new generation of students has its own characteristics, including increased anxiety and lack of long-term forecasting skills. These features, combined with the intuitive use of the Internet, reduce the effectiveness of traditional written tests, giving way to more interactive methods. The authors suggest a number of modern tools suitable for the formative and summative assessment in both classroom and remote learning, highly demanded during the pandemic: Quizlet multimedia cards, Learningapps small interactive modules, the Edpuzzle platform for video files, online testing services of Kahoot! and Class Marker, as well as Mentimeter interactive presentations service. The indisputable advantage of the listed applications is their intuitiveness, and therefore they do not require long training for using them, and they also can reduce the time spent on the preparation and evaluation of students’ tests. The proposed interactive assessment tools imply an active use of smartphones by students and have a positive effect on their motivation, help them form a proper idea of their own progress and integrate digital technologies into the educational process, which in itself is already a priority for the modern education system.

In the article, there is a list of contributions from a prominent teacher, historical, and community member of Ukraine – Nikifor Yakovich Grigoriyev. The contribution of the teacher to the process of Ukrainianization of the educational process has been grounded before the hour of his transfer to the seat of the Ministry of Education of the Ukrainian People's Republic in the office of the head of the People's Ministries of V. Golubovich. The manuals and books in the Ukrainian language with the help of educating the people about the formulation of their national consciousness have been analyzed. The assessment of the pedagogical study and methods of the study of the Ukrainian language and history decline was made.It is noted that N. Hryhoriyiv took a course on the revival of education, namely: primary education, native language, customs, and traditions in educational institutions. This period is characterized by the study of the Ukrainian language in primary school, the teaching of the Ukrainian language in teachers'  seminaries, the creation of Ukrainian gymnasiums. The purpose of the article is to highlight the issues of primary education in the creative heritage of the Ukrainian teacher Nikifor Yakovlevich Hryhoriyiv (1883–1953). To write the article, we used the following methods: periodization – to determine in accordance with reasonable criteria for the selection of periods of educational activity of the scientist; method of reconstruction – to reproduce the socio-cultural and socio-political context of educational development; interpretations – for creative rethinking of pedagogical ideas of N. Grigoriev taking into account modern educational and organizational-pedagogical tasks. N. Hryhoriyiv's activity as the Minister of Education of the Ukrainian People's Republic was aimed at the nationalization of the public education system, which could educate a new generation of conscious citizens of Ukraine. After becoming the Minister of the Ukrainian People's Republic, in 1918 the teacher introduced compulsory teaching in schools in the Ukrainian language and issued a document “Schools in Ukraine”, which testified to the opening of schools in 39 settlements of Ukraine.

The article examines the competent requirements for concertmasters of educational institutions of Ukraine. In late 2010s Ukrainian government revises the requirements for the staff of educational institutions. These revision needs to be issued in three aspects: impact on the quality of the educational process, new com-petencies of educational staff required, and the aim of those revisions. Each of the aspects mentioned requires a separate study for each of the educational areas. The aspect we have chosen is competence, which has become especially acute in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has prompted the authorities to limit and, in some cases, completely bans face-to-face classes in educational institutions. It is shown that the competencies of concertmasters are the ability to play in an ensemble, which requires a high level of playing the instrument, the ability to read notes from a sheet, including scores with a large number of staves, an ability to transpose music and a deep feeling of a soloist playing. However, the new realities, caused by Ukrainian government activities led to new competency requirements for concertmasters working in Ukrainian educational institutions. Namely, these requirements are the ability to work with documents, to conduct organizational and methodological work, to carry out scientific research as well. Moreover, the rise of distance education during Covid-19 pandemic made real-time practice with concertmaster impossible due to imperfections of the Internet communication, namely due to the audio signal latency occurred while using digital communication systems. In this situation, concertmaster should be able to prepare phonograms or remote ensemble recordings, which are performed alternately by the accompanist and soloist. This form also requires special skills, namely an ability to work with information technologies, in particular multimedia. It is concluded that concertmaster of Ukrainian educational institutions is required to be competent not only in piano ensemble playing but also in a lot of other fields not connected to music performance such as office work, scientific research and information technologies.

In the light of the growing technological revolution, the question of the viability of traditional education has become more acute. They try to persuade the proponents of digital transformation that it is inefficient in the new conditions. Schools and universities are intimidated by the generation Z which is "non-compliant" with standard approaches. They spend most of their free time online, have a clip way of thinking and are unable to concentrate their attention on something for a long time. Opponents of digitalization try to protect teenagers from unlimited use of gadgets. Issues about reasonable use of digital devices which do not harm their health are widely discussed. But in the spring of 2020, there arose such a situation that the harm from using gadgets by teenagers could not be compared to the possibility of the learning process breakdown. Educational institutions are urgently switched to distance learning. The transition revealed many problems, some of which were being solved in the course of the working process. It becomes obvious that distance learning cannot be used as the only possible format of work. The future of education depends on many factors. Will it remain universal with the quality mark of traditional education, or will it undergo a radical transformation? The purpose of this article is to find out whether the new generation of young people is so different that all the approaches of the traditional education system are smashed against its “armor”. Or, under the banner of the generation Z, the idea of a radical transition to a completely new education is being promoted.
