The new paradigm of education orients the pedagogical community to the variability of educational systems and institutions, the flexibility and dynamism of the professional training process, its adaptation to social needs, the demands of the population and employers, and the wide introduction of modern pedagogical technologies into the educational process. This requires organizational and structural modernization of administrative, educational, research and other components of higher education institutions aimed at improving the quality of education, forming the creative personality of a modern specialist. An important task is the integration of Ukrainian higher education institutions into the European and global scientific and educational space using the resources of the modern information and educational environment. The conceptual principles of improving the specialists’ professional training, aimed at organizing the educational process in the information and educational environment of higher schools with the aim of increasing specialists’ professional competence with the help of a modernized training system, are defined, scientifically substantiated and described in detail.
