Background. The advantage of internal corporate training is the possibility to quickly «reconfigure» a personalised system of continuing professional education of an employee in response to the specific needs of the client. The problem is in choosing effective tools. One of such tools can be pedagogical support of employees, including employees who have undergone internal corporate training. Objective. The study was conducted in order to assess the effectiveness of the use of pedagogical support for employees to improve their digital competencies. Methods. The experiment, conducted in December 2021, involved 41 employees of a medical organisation who underwent internal corporate training in the use of specialised software. The influence of pedagogical support on the number of accounting documents entered into the system, the number of electronic directions created or processed, the number of documents added based on templates, the amount of time spent in the system was evaluated. Statistical analysis, which demonstrated the presence of significant changes, was performed using the Mann-Whitney U-test and Wilcoxon T-test. The correlation analysis was carried out according to the method of calculating the point biserial correlation coefficient. Results. The results of the experiment demonstrate a high level of correlation between the factor of pedagogical support and the intensity of application of the formed digital competencies by employees. On average, for all dependent variables, the increase in the level of application of digital competencies formed during training was 72%. Practical significance. The results can be used in the development of pedagogical support programmes for employees who have undergone internal corporate training.

Background. Undergraduate and graduate students of technical universities are aware that knowledge of at least one foreign language increases their competitiveness in the labour market. At the same time they do not show much interest in studying this academic subject. Development of effective ways to increase motivation to learn a foreign language is an urgent and unresolved task. Objective. Aim of the work is to trace the correlation between the level of foreignlanguage professional communicative competence of students and their motivation to study a professional foreign language in the traditional and triplex form of education. Methods. The research included three stages: the first – diagnostics of the educational motivation of undergraduates; the second – identification of the main motives for learning a professional foreign language in master’s groups; the third – determination of the level of foreign-language professional communicative competence. Results. A significant increase in motivation to study a professional foreign language in a group with a triplex form of education was revealed. The level of foreign-language professional communicative competence in this group also turned out to be higher compared to the group with the traditional form of education. Practical significance. The results of this study can be used to optimise the educational process based on the awareness of the dependency of the level of academic performance in a foreign language to the level of motivation to study it
