Abstract: This article is devoted to the study of modern possibilities to increase the efficiency of moral and ethical upbringing of students in higher educational institutions. One of such possibilities is motivating them to use new digital technologies in a correct and an ecological way. Proper upbringing of students at higher education institutions and involving them in extracurricular activities contributes to their ethical and moral education and creative development, which helps to achieve the global goals of sustainable development of society (i.e. improving human living conditions and minimizing the negative impact on the environment). In this regard, the authors consider that it is necessary for teachers of higher education institutions to study in more detail the possibilities of new digital and educational technologies precisely considering the principles of environmental friendliness and ethical standards of communication. The authors conduct a complex analysis, including the following methods: theoretical analysis of scientific literature, an anonymous survey of 194 junior full-time students and 48 lecturers and monitoring of the application of digital technologies in different events, held in the Volgograd Institute of Management. The analysis of modern scientific literature on pedagogy and pedagogical psychology, as well as the results of the survey, allowed the authors to draw the following conclusions. The use of new digital technologies and tools, such as smartphones and their apps, videoconferencing services, video recording and presentation development programmes, undoubtedly helps to make the educational and upbringing process easier. All these technical means make the process of creation accessible, attractive, exciting, and involve more students in extracurricular activities. The exact ways of developing efficient and safe online communication during the extracurricular activities are still not yet sufficiently discussed by the methodologists and educators, that’s why this research is to be further continued within another higher educational institutions.

Abstract: Important changes in the legislation of recent years require attention from practicing teachers. Competent use of the regulatory and legislative framework is necessary to achieve the planned educational results. Socio-pedagogical challenges to modern domestic education are generated by global changes in society, which cause the need for transformations not only in education, but also in related fields and institutions (culture, management, family, etc.). Accordingly, all this requires its own normative and legal understanding and registration not only in the educational process, but also in all spheres of life. The main theoretical and methodological approaches to the consideration of topical issues of domestic education in the context of state policy are systemic and complex. The state policy demonstrates an active and systematic building of the educational process: the studies of the most important concepts, the relationship with the challenges of modernity, the design of the future of today's children for new changing conditions are updated, the line of building a safe life for young generations is clearly traced. The substantive and value foundations of upbringing, the principle of a unified system of upbringing and education are legislated, the state is obliged to create conditions for self-determination and socialization that contribute to the upbringing of the best moral and civic qualities in children. The new mechanism of the organization of educational work includes work programs of education and a calendar plan of educational work. The law is aimed at the comprehensive spiritual, moral, intellectual formation of students, the development of a sense of patriotism and citizenship in them.

Abstract: The article discusses the situation with education in modern culture and pedagogy, raises the question of the reasons for the decline in interest in education and the possibility of its revival in the near future. The meanings of education (widely understood education, controlled development, inclusion in culture) are considered. Two conditions of the conceivability of the traditional understanding of education are analyzed. Firstly, it is the principle of "epistemological transparency" (according to it, the teacher knows the laws of student development and the requirements that will be imposed on him at the exit of education-upbringing), which allows to determine the goals and content of education-upbringing, as well as methods of education.   Secondly, the "deterministic" principle: the development of a young person can be directed in the direction desired by the state, society and school, while blocking the student's activity leading in the wrong direction. It is argued that currently both of these conditions are not met, which forms a problem for education. Social reality is increasingly thought of as pluralistic, complex and uncertain; and determination in the field of education is becoming less and less, on the contrary, the principles of variability, the need to take into account different types of personality and divergent trajectories of their development and evolution are rising to the shield. The installations of a new concept of education, taking into account modern challenges of the time and sociality, are considered. According to the author, education should satisfy the "environmental approach", "personalistic" and "reflexive-conceptual".

Abstract: The subject of this research is the problems of instilling culture of interethnic communication among future physicians in sociocultural environment of a Russian medical university. Special attention is given to nurturing culture of interethnic communication among students in the process of developing general cultural competencies within the framework of academic and extracurricular activity. The key obstacle in realization of social procurement by higher education institutions aimed at instilling the culture of interconfessional communication among university students lies in the absence of holistic concepts for solving this complicated pedagogical problem, which would meet the modern requirements and sociocultural conditions. Therefore, there is a need for theoretical analysis of the established pedagogical practice in higher education institutions of the Russian Federation, development  of science-based approaches towards constructive generalization of knowledge on nurturing the culture of interconfessional communication alongside the concept of nurturing the culture of Interconfessional communication among students of higher education institutions of the Russian Federation, and the  model for its implementation. The relevance of the problem of instilling culture of interethnic communication among students of medical universities at the current stage of the development of higher medical education is substantiated by legislative requirements to youth upbringing in the Russian Federation and Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Education. The novelty of this article consists in mainstreaming the need for nurturing the culture of interethnic communication among the students of Russian universities, which merits special attention.

Abstract: The problems of minors with juvenile record often pertain to the weakness of their agency. The subject of this research is determination of the agency traits, which are weakest among adolescents who are on record with their school and the Minors Affairs Department, as well as elaboration and scientific substantiation of program for their development. The program developed by the authors can serve as the active means for increasing agency among adolescents with juvenile record. The research included 99 adolescents, 50 of which are currently on record. To measure the agency traits of individuals, the study employed psychodiagnostic questionnaires. Comparison between adolescents with record and those of good social standing revealed their agency traits that require development: mediacy, activeness, autonomy, creativity, responsibility, self-respect and self-esteem, characteristics of self-organization in activity (goal-setting, planning, self-control), qualities of social and communication competence. The program was tested using experimental plan with a control group, as well as measurement before and after exposure. The results yielded statistical confirmation of the effectiveness of all six parts of the program: 1) self-cognition; 2) social competence; 3) self-organization; 4) realization of one’s self in the context of activity, selection of goals, decisions and elimination of contradictions; 5) moral consciousness as an ability to exercise moral choices; 6) realization of one’s self in the context of life, development of awareness and responsibility.

Abstract: In the article, the European-Caucasian parallels of knight education in the feudal era of IX – XIX centuries are observed. It tells that at that period both Western and Caucasian chivalry becomes the prevailing way of life, requiring not only the battle skill but also a well-known style of moral and ethical, and social behavior, which could not appear on its own. It was assimilated in the process of education. Particular attention is paid to the identification of the features of the code of chivalry of the European and mountain peoples. When writing the article the following methods were used: the study and theoretical analysis of historical, ethnographic, pedagogical, philosophical, literary, and folklore sources; comparative analysis of scientific materials. It is concluded that chivalry in the "North Caucasian performance" was a wonderful example of building a sufficiently robust and flexible model of behavior necessary during wartime. Besides, this model influenced the mountain society from top to bottom, transforming its traditions with no less force than did the commandments and statutes of the Western Catholic church. Therefore, the code of chivalry of the mountain peoples with its educational postulates can be considered a significant cultural achievement, a treasury of wisdom for modern pedagogical science.
