Abstract: The subject of this study is the social credit system introduced in the People's Republic of China in the 2000s. The object of the study is the Chinese population and in particular representatives of national minorities living in Xinjiang. The author examines the system of social control in historical retrospect, since its manifestations have been reflected in the history of China, from antiquity to the present day. In the mid-2000s, this system was "reanimated" in new conditions and in a new form and began to be actively used for comprehensive control of broad strata of Chinese society. The new realities of the information society also required new approaches from the state. The purpose of the study is to analyze the socio-economic policy of the central government of the People's Republic of China in order to understand the causes, mechanisms and significance of the social rating system.
The main conclusions of the study are the following provisions. Initially, the introduction of the social credit system was due to the desire of the central government to improve the level of order in the field of entrepreneurship. Somewhat later, the system began to be used for total control over wide segments of the population and proved its effectiveness in such a problematic region as the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The attitude towards the social credit system in China is ambiguous: the majority of Han Chinese (ethnic Chinese) loyal to the government have adopted this model. At the same time, representatives of national minorities, including some Uighurs, perceive it as a system of harassment. This system is based on the principles of total control of the population, the use of hybrid intelligence and the use of social rating as a system of encouragement and punishment.

Abstract: The subject of the study is the methodology for the formation of universal educational activities that are trained in the process of implementing the final individual project. The object of the research is universal learning activities. In the course of the study, a model for the formation of universal educational activities was developed, as well as a form for studying the level of their formation. In the course of the study, the theoretical foundations of the process of forming skills and abilities were studied, the results of scientific works aimed at studying the use of final individual project as a form of attestation of students, as well as the provisions of the main legal acts that consolidate these theses, were used. The Federal State Standards consecrate the requirements for the results of the development of the main educational program, including the implementation of the final individual project. Concretizing the used theoretical provisions on universal educational activities, a pedagogical model of their formation in the process of creating final individual project was developed. This model is a practical understanding and consistent implementation of the theoretical vision of the process of their formation. The pedagogical model of the formation of universal educational activities can be used both in the phased implementation of the final individual project, and in the analysis of final works, at the stage of demonstrating and summing up the results of activities.
Based on the methods used for organizing experimental work, a phased plan was implemented aimed at the formation of universal educational activities through the implementation of final individual project. A comparative analysis at the final stage of the experimental work revealed a positive dynamic in the formation of universal educational activities, which was confirmed by the results in the experimental group of students.
