THE ROLE OF PEDAGOGICAL INNOVATIONS IN IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF EDUCATIONAL SERVICES IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION
This article explores the vital role of pedagogical innovations in improving the quality of educational services in the context of globalization. In today’s rapidly changing world, globalization is reshaping not only economies and cultures but also educational systems. As countries become more interconnected, educational institutions face increasing pressure to meet international standards, integrate modern technologies, and prepare students for global competitiveness. In this environment, traditional teaching approaches are often insufficient, making pedagogical innovation a key factor in ensuring quality and relevance in education. The article analyzes how innovative teaching methods such as student-centered learning, digital technologies, blended and online learning, project-based learning, and competency-based education contribute to enhancing learning outcomes and developing critical 21st-century skills. Particular attention is given to the role of information and communication technologies (ICT), interactive platforms, and artificial intelligence in transforming teaching and assessment practices. The study emphasizes that innovation in pedagogy is not limited to technology alone, but also includes changes in curriculum design, assessment strategies, teacher professional development, and institutional management.

NONLINEAR VIBRATIONS AND STABILITY OF VISCOELASTIC CYLINDRICAL SHELLS UNDER COMPRESSIVE LOADS
In this article, the stability of a cylindrical shell is investigated in a geometric nonlinear setting. The cylindrical shell is subjected to static and dynamic influences. The shell material is orthotropic and has rheological properties that are described by the hereditary Boltzmann-Voltaire theory.

As a result of the study, the character of measuring the deflection of the shell, taking into account the rheological properties of the material, was obtained. It was revealed that with an increase in the loading rate, the dynamic critical load increases several times in comparison with the static one.
