The higher education system is the sphere of interaction between the state and the interests of society via their institutions and citizens, which involves the compulsory participation of the subjects of the educational relations in the management and the ability to influence the functioning and development of the higher education system, as well as be responsible for creating the conditions necessary for performance of the higher education of their social and educational functions. In this regard it is necessary to review the role and functions of the state in ensuring the activities of educational institutions, attraction to the solution of problems of education of various social institutions, as well as the redefinition of the role of educational institutions and learners themselves in the organization of the educational process. This is due to the development of the author's model of governance of polysubjective system of higher education, where subjects are individuals who are educated and involved in the management of the higher education system by holding administrative, social and political status, as well as teachers who are members of educational associations; society, strata and groups, which serve as the customers in the higher education system (public employers), as well as non-governmental organizations (school boards, professional associations, etc.); state on behalf of its structures and institutions, which includes training and management institutions and their staff (ministries, departments). The interaction of different levels of management entity in the framework of the proposed management model will ensure the openness of higher education as a state- social system, the transition to mutual responsibility, to increase participation and strengthen the role of all subjects of educational policy in the development, adoption and implementation of legal and administrative decisions in higher education as well as the optimal functioning and development of the higher education system.

The relevance of the research problem is due to applying various training programs in the modern education system which are supposed to increase teaching efficiency. In-depth study of some subjects at schools, lyceums and gymnasiums which starts in the elementary school quite often leads to tension and failures of adaptation process in innovative institutions that makes it necessary to work out the criteria of this process. This article deals with studying such criteria as dynamics of intellectual working capacity, physical health and physical fitness of the 1-3rd graders influenced by teaching in classes with in-depth study of a foreign language. The methods of the research of this problem are: the method of proof tests, the health index assessment method, testing of physical qualities that make it possible to define the level of intellectual working capacity, physical health and physical fitness of the 1-3rd graders in their dynamics and interrelation with the intensity of the academic load. The criteria of adaptation of primary school pupils to the academic load of the increased intensity have been worked out in the article. It has been proved that the increase in the academic load increases pupils' intellectual working capacity and has no negative effect on physical fitness of the 1-3rd graders, but it increases their disease incidence that indicates a high physiological cost of organism adaptation to a more intensive academic load. The materials of the article can be useful to elementary school teachers and school psychologists in working out and planning training programs involving in-depth study of subjects.

The rationale of the problem under study is conditioned by the fact that the compulsory study of a second foreign language at school is a new, but by all means positive phenomenon, as the introduction of a second foreign language in the secondary school curriculum has become a practical step on the way to polycultural education, to the formation of a polylingual personality. The introduction of the compulsory study of two foreign languages has aggravated such problems as the absence of the unifying concept of teaching a second foreign language, the absence of requirements for a second foreign language proficiency level in the State Educational Standard, the absence of various and effective teaching resources. This article is aimed at the analysis of the background and prospects of schoolchildren's polylingual education in the context of new Federal State Educational Standards (FSES). The leading approaches in the research of the problem under study are competence-based and contrastive ones as they let us fully consider the phenomenon of polylingualism which gives an opportunity to use several language systems in communication. The article reveals the background of polylingualism, defines the purposes, content and main principles of teaching several foreign languages, justifies the application of competence-based and contrastive approaches in teaching a second foreign language in the modern school, develops the model of the foreign language communicative competence formation for a second foreign language in the context of studying two foreign languages (English and German). The materials of the article can be useful for foreign language teachers in order to upgrade their skills and make the teaching-learning process a learner-centered one.

In recent years, many countries have adopted a context-based approach for designing science curricula for education at all levels. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a Context-Based Chemistry Course (CBCC) as compared with traditional/existing instruction, on 11th grade students' learning about chemical equilibrium, &quot;motivation to learn chemistry&quot; and &quot;constructivist learning environment.&quot; A mixed-method research design was used. The study group consisted of 104 students in 11th grade at a public high school. &quot;Chemical Equilibrium Achievement Test&quot; (CEAT), &quot;Chemistry Motivation Questionnaire&quot; (CMQ) and &quot;Constructivist Learning Environment Survey&quot; (CLES) were used for quantitative data collection (as pre-test and post-test). Students' opinions about the effects of the CBCC were collected via a questionnaire. Quantitative findings showed that CBCC made a positive impact on students' achievement, motivation to learn chemistry and constructivist learning environment. Students' opinions on the implementation of CBCC showed that CBCC provided authentic applications of chemistry topics, formed relations between chemistry and daily life, concretized chemistry concepts, made concepts highly memorable, and learning more enjoyable in the courses. In summary, results showed that CBCC, compared to traditional/existing instruction, enabled students to learn chemistry concepts more effectively.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the meaning of symbols, the symbolic world in linguistics. Using the methods of observation, analysis, synthesis and interpretation, the author determines the category of symbols in linguistic-cognitive research. The study delineates connection between linguistic image of the universe and symbolic categories of empirical cognition and also describes the language symbols as an indicator of the ethno-cultural association potential of a single language in different countries. The study shows that symbolization in a language affects the role of the national-cultural-cognitive association in the formation of a unified concept and image of the world language. Thus, the practical value of the research is that the process of symbolization sheds light on the most characteristic features of a language symbol, namely the newness, communicativeness and cognitive activity.
