Abstract: The formation of a youth policy at the university is an important criterion for the development of a student's personality. Modern higher education requires not only a simple transfer of knowledge, but also the formation of values, skills and competencies among students. Educational activities and youth policy of the university play a special role in this process. One of the key aspects of this process is the creation and development of an appropriate ecosystem - a set of interacting elements that provides optimal conditions for the development of students as individuals, citizens and professionals. The basis for the successful functioning of the university ecosystem of youth policy and educational activities can be an event-based approach, which involves the creation of a continuous stream of activities that can involve students in various activities, contributing to their personal growth and development. The use of educational events to develop students' skills is widely used today in educational institutions of various levels around the world. At the same time, the process of developing social engagement of modern students is inextricably linked with the process of improving the professionalism of teachers, namely, the development by the teacher of new ways and forms of interaction with students in the organization of educational and extracurricular activities. The rapidly changing demands of modern society on the professional competencies and qualities of a teacher pose the task of higher education institutions to create effective training and education programs for specialists. In this context, the event approach is an innovative methodological concept based on experience, reflection and socio-cultural analysis. The event-based approach contributes to the development of professionalism of future teachers and the formation of their readiness for difficult situations that they may encounter in their professional activities.

Abstract: Within the framework of this work, the use of an arsenal of pedagogical tools to increase the cognitive activity of students in the study of biology in the 7th grade is proposed. The implementation of an individual-group approach for the development of communication and teamwork skills, the realization of differentiated learning opportunities, and consideration of individual characteristics of students is considered in detail. As an example, the use of the proposed tools for studying the topic "Bacteria" is considered, the developed materials and algorithm for conducting lessons are given. To assess the effectiveness of the experimental technique, verification work was carried out; the data obtained were analyzed and compared with those obtained within the framework of the traditional frontal form of material presentation. It is assumed that the widespread introduction of such approaches not only solves particular research tasks, but can also contribute to improving the effectiveness of school education in general. Among the proposed methods, individual and group learning, mathematical tasks, laboratory experiment, problematic issues, and the construction of mental maps were used. The experience of the experiment and the results of processing the obtained data demonstrated the effectiveness and some limitations of the proposed approach. Thus, within the framework of the traditional form of the lesson, students were more quickly involved in the educational process and successfully completed reproductive tasks. However, creative and problematic tasks were better solved by students who studied the topic in the format of individual and group work. According to the feedback received, the students generally appreciated the experience gained and recognized its benefits for the development of communication skills and teamwork. Among the main prospects, the possibility of studying the subject at an in-depth level as part of groups formed from the most prepared and motivated students is noted.

Abstract: The research is devoted to the development and substantiation of a methodological approach to teaching the methodology of humanitarian research in the context of the formation of research activity of students. The lack of educational and methodological material devoted to the methodology of humanitarian research, the lack of simple and clear recommendations and algorithms for students to build their own research and choose methods makes this approach relevant. The principle of this approach is revealed by the example of the presentation of theoretical and applied issues of structuralism and synergetics as research methods and is based on the movement of knowledge from simple to complex. The research material was modern publications devoted to the problems of education, humanities, research methodology, as well as structuralism and synergetics as forms of scientific analysis and their transcriptions of cultural and art phenomena.  During the development of this methodological approach, the authors carried out a reduction of synergetic and structural methods, systematization of the basic concepts used in the research work of students, identified a number of characteristics describing the course of research using these methods, conducted their comparative analysis indicating weaknesses and strengths. The novelty of the research lies in the development and demonstration of the possibilities of the proposed methodological approach, which offers: step–by–step development of research tools based on such basic concepts as "object", "category", "value", etc.; visual – in the form of a table – comparison of research methods and characteristics; elaboration of the categorical apparatus of methods based on the history of their origin, the authority of classical authors and quotations of their texts, the demonstration of the possibilities of methods in modern research. At the same time, the emphasis is on the unique features of the studied methods, which are necessary for a critical understanding of aesthetic and cultural phenomena and the construction of a consistent research route. The result of this approach is an understandable algorithm for choosing one or another method, as well as the possibility of creating a comprehensive methodology. The developed methodological approach can be applied directly in pedagogical practice, as well as during the preparation of students' scientific research.

Abstract: Special attention is paid to the ways of teaching Russian vocabulary, which can be used during the lessons of the Russian as a foreign language. Since in the modern world the ability to communicate in a foreign language is becoming an increasingly important and in-demand skill, knowledge of foreign languages is necessary, especially for students who seek to study or work abroad. If students have already reached the B1+ level in Russian, then already have good basic skills and can communicate fluently in Russian. However, in order to further develop and improve your knowledge, you need to actively expand your vocabulary. The main conclusions of the study are the importance and practicality of mastering Russian vocabulary for successful communication in various spheres of life in the country of the language being studied. Special importance is attached to the level of Russian language proficiency, as Russia plays a significant role in the international arena. Therefore, for international students who have reached the B1+ level, mastering Russian vocabulary is one of the key tasks. However, teaching Russian as a foreign language has its own peculiarities, so it is necessary to develop effective methods of teaching vocabulary to students. Russian vocabulary training for foreign students of the B1+ level is an important part of learning Russian. Possession of a rich vocabulary makes it not only easier to build communication in Russian, but also expands opportunities in the field of work, education and cultural potential.

Abstract: This article is devoted to the generalization of theoretical and practical experience in the use of pedagogical technologies in the educational process of the Humanitarian Pedagogical Academy (branch) of the Federal State Educational Institution of Higher Education "V.I. Vernadsky KFU" in Yalta during the 2020-2021, 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 academic years. The study involved 15 teachers and 81 full-time students of the Department of Foreign Philology and Teaching Methods. The subject of research is scientific works on the development of the modern pedagogical paradigm and the search for effective innovative educational technologies in higher education.   This article outlines the main provisions that indicate that modern education recognizes the synthesis of various paradigms in the educational space of the beginning of the XXI century. The special significance lies in the fact that the methodological principle of polyparadigmality does not deny various pedagogical systems and indicates the natural changeability of educational paradigms. The polyparadigmatic nature of modern education does not act as a counterbalance to a specific scientific and pedagogical paradigm, but reflects modern educational practice that meets the needs of modern society. The novelty of the proposed study lies in the fact that the polyparadigm approach previously remained on the margin of pedagogical research.

Abstract: The problems of training highly qualified specialists – dentists and maxillofacial surgeons – are discussed, taking into account the level of their pedagogical competence, which allows them to develop professionally important qualities and establish adequate relationships in the doctor-patient pair. From this perspective, the parameters of domestic continuous dental education and its stages are characterized, based on scientific and pedagogical expertise and organizational innovations. The goals and objectives of such complementarity in the functioning of the structures of additional professional education; its high productivity is emphasized at the Central Research Institute of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Russian Ministry of Health. The study analyzes the content of the key concepts of “coaching” and “self-design”, and performs a comparative analysis of: 1) the results of a public opinion survey; 2) sociological research regarding the reproduction of medical personnel; 3) author’s surveys and in-depth interviews about the parameters and quality of educational processes. The novelty of the study lies in the substantiation of the urgency of introducing the concepts of “coaching” and “self-design” to concretize new approaches in the theoretical support of postgraduate training of dentists and maxillofacial surgeons. For the first time, the complementary nature of the relationship between them is substantiated. The author emphasizes that the adaptation of the corresponding pedagogical techniques allows us to more clearly highlight the role of the pedagogical component in the training of highly qualified specialists in these areas. The main conclusion of the study is that coaching and techniques of conscious self-design, being in a relationship of complementarity, determine a significant increase in the level of postgraduate education, meeting such conditions as a combination of pedagogical competence with the peculiarities of the structural and content components of scientific activity.

Abstract: The purpose of the study is to substantiate the use of corpus technologies in the formation of German oral speech skills. The subject of the study is the process of teaching speaking at a language university. The object of the study is corpus technologies used in the formation of oral speech skills among students of a language university. The article analyzes the grammatical and phonetic phenomena of oral colloquial speech, which can be introduced in German language teaching. Special attention is paid to such phonetic features of oral speech as reduction, elision, and clitic forms of definite and indefinite articles. The scientific study examines in detail such aspects as the fusion of preposition and definite article, modal particles, direct word order in sentences with WEIL, OBWOHL and unconnected sentences with WENN. The FOLK corpus included in the Gesprochenes Deutsch (DGD) database of the "Leibniz German Language Institute" was used as a corpus toolkit for compiling a set of exercises. The main attention in the article is paid to a complex of different types of tasks created on the basis of corpus tools, which determines the scientific novelty of this approach, namely: the use of a quantitative parameter (normalization coefficient indicating deviations from standard pronunciation based on written language) and parameters indicating phenomena characteristic of oral speech (discursive markers, hesitation phenomena). As a result of the research, the author emphasizes the linguistic and methodological potential of text corpora for the development of students' oral conversational skills. The practical significance of the research lies in the possibility of using its results in the teaching of the following disciplines: a practical course in the German language, features of spoken German, methods of teaching foreign languages, digital technologies in teaching foreign languages.

Abstract: A new level of systemic complexity of the tasks facing modern education determines the need to search for new thinking tools that ensure their solution. This is the reason for the relevance of this research, the purpose of which is to offer a new thinking tool that provides the opportunity to think complexly and about complex things, to view an object, for example, education, as a complex whole, i.e. included through the generality of the constitutive basis in a system of diverse connections and interactions$ Qualitatively compress large arrays of heterogeneous information, integrate (collect) it into semantic coherence. In the process of scientific research, methods of scientific theorization were used in the context of the ideas of post-nonclassical science and on its methodological basis. The article considers the structure of the ontological representation as a tool of thinking, which is understood as the order of division of the world in the consciousness of society (how the meaning of this representation organizes consciousness). This is the scientific novelty of the study. Using the example of a traditional learning system, the fundamental influence of the structure of the ontological representation in which it is built (the separation between the subjective world and the objective world) is shown. From this position, four structural markers of this system and its basic meanings (ontological, anthropological, etc.) are identified. Their presence in educational (in) innovations indicates that these (in) innovations are a variant of the traditional learning system, respectively, the quality of the educational result and its inconsistency with the challenges of the time are common. The analysis of FGOS 4.0 — the first digital standard confirms this. The article examines the structure of the ontological foundation of a new education system capable of responding to the challenges of the time, its basic meanings are highlighted. It is concluded that in the new system, along with new educational opportunities, the educational opportunities of the traditional system of education should be used.

Abstract: The article presents a research view on the features of the organization of the process of teaching computer-graphic modeling for participants in the educational process within the framework of an advanced engineering school. It is shown that this direction is not innovative and the creative teams of university engineering schools have already gained some experience in quickly solving typical problems in the process of advanced training of a highly qualified specialist. At the same time, the authors of the article draw attention to circumstances that significantly limit the achievement of ambitious goals pursued in the implementation of pilot educational programs. The application of the participants of the advanced engineering school to bridge the gap between theory and practice looks especially declarative, given that the formation of even basic skills (spatial thinking) for many members of elite engineering training groups requires significant time costs. Today, in Russian universities, this problem is solved by traditional methodological methods as part of the teaching of the discipline "Engineering Geometry and Computer Graphics". The author's methods of teaching computer-graphic modeling outlined in the article are addressed to innovative teachers who realistically assess their capabilities when developing their own design educational products for students who have made a conscious choice in favor of an advanced engineering school. The article was written based on the results of approbation of the author's pedagogical initiatives in the educational process of the university (Perm Polytechnic University).

Abstract: The introduction and expansion of the use of e-learning systems (ELS) in the higher education system has made the educational resources of universities more accessible, interactive and effective for students. The growth in the number of users and the amount of data in the system leads to a number of technical and pedagogical problems. These include insufficient orientation to cognition and the lack of adequate pedagogical support for the needs of students. This leads to an increase in cognitive load and an increase in the dependence of learning success on the external motivation of students. The article presents some results of the study of the problem of developing a pedagogical model to expand the context of adult education in the higher education system, conducted by the author in 2021-2023. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the theoretical and practical aspects of the model in terms of design and development of the ELS structure. The author conducted a critical analysis of the literature on the problem of using ICT to improve e-learning services. Modern e-learning systems, elements of their architecture, and problems of use in order to improve e-learning are systematized. The role of cognitive schemas and knowledge maps in the design and development of ELS is analyzed. The requirements for ELS based on knowledge mapping and the main elements of its structure have been developed. Using the results of this study in the process of designing and developing ELS will reduce the cognitive load of students and the number of refusals from the course, as well as increase the level of satisfaction with e-learning.

Abstract: The object of this research is to study the organization of the educational process using active and interactive methods. The relevance of the topic is determined by the insufficient number of theoretical developments, research on the organization of interaction of these methods in a remote format. The purpose of this article was to clarify the features of the use of active and interactive methods in the conditions of distance learning and to present their own teaching methodology, the essence of which is the continuity and variability of the use of active and interactive teaching methods throughout the educational process by different teachers. The research methods are general philosophical methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as the method of systematization of materials, since the authors used various forms of classes, analyzed their effectiveness in terms of assimilation of the material and selected the most valuable options. In addition, the observation method and the survey method were used to obtain student reflection on the classes conducted. The novelty of the work lies in the development and implementation of the author's methodology for teaching Oriental disciplines in a classical university based on the continuity of courses and interdisciplinary interaction, which can be used both in full-time and in distance format. The cooperation of teachers of Oriental disciplines of IMOMI N.I. Lobachevsky State University is aimed at developing and achieving common goals, creating didactic and psychological conditions in which a student can show not only intellectual and cognitive activity, but also a personal social position, his individuality, express himself as a subject of learning. At the same time, teachers of Oriental disciplines carry out the continuity of courses not only from the point of view of the content of the material, but also from the point of view of the choice of teaching methods. The presented experience may be useful to teachers of other universities.

Abstract: The subject of the study is the pedagogical conditions for the correction of communication disorders in children who have been subjected to abuse in the family. The study was based on the assumption that anxiety and hostility are psychologically dominant in such children. Timely work with the child emotionally and correction of the sphere of communication can correct negative influences. The author examines in detail the implementation of pedagogical conditions: conducting special classes with children to overcome anxiety in the communication process, involving children in leisure activities to reduce hostility toward adults, and having children participate in field events to develop positive emotions. The study's novelty is that the pedagogical conditions for correcting communication disorders have been experimentally tested. The author comes to the following conclusions: 1. Conducting special classes with children to overcome anxiety in the communication process helps them express their feelings, activate communication between a child and an adult, form various means of communication, and develop dialogic speech. 2. Involving children in leisure activities to reduce hostility toward adults allows an adult to manifest themself as an assistant and defender with whom a child can communicate without fear, jointly achieving their goals. 3. The participation of children in field events aimed at the development of positive emotions increases the social context of communication of the child and expands the circle of adults with whom the pupil would interact.

Abstract: The modern educational paradigm provides for the formation of various competencies: general cultural, personal and professional, the optimal combination of which should be achieved as a result of professional training of a specialist. Accordingly, for students of non-linguistic specialties, the study of a foreign language should be aimed at the development of all these competencies, which determines the choice of the main forms and methods of teaching it, based on an integrative personal-activity approach. At the same time, the main methodological solution for teaching a foreign language in a non-linguistic university should be the development and creative application of complex digital educational resources that can be used both as basic and additional pedagogical technologies. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that in the conditions of modern informatization of society, it becomes necessary not only to develop methodological tools independently, but also to use the existing developments productively. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that students have the opportunity to apply the knowledge, skills and abilities they have acquired, determine for themselves the need for additional information, continue their continuing education and self-education throughout their professional path. The use of digital educational resources makes it possible to switch the process of acquiring knowledge from broadcasting to their purposeful acquisition, which corresponds to the modern competence paradigm.

Abstract: The article deals with the main aspects of schoolchildren's reading in order to form a new approach in the field of motivation to read in the conditions of modern FGOS. The object of the study was the reading culture and motivation for reading of students from grades 5 to 11. The main research methods were questionnaires and analysis of the results obtained. The analysis of the survey results allowed us to establish the following: reading retains its importance and relevance for the younger generation. At the same time, it is necessary to note a number of important trends that are of great importance in the context of studying the processes of formation of motivation to read Among the identified trends: changes in the frequency and duration of reading, changes in genre preferences towards mass literature, the tendency of respondents to study works in short or adapted versions, the limitation of extracurricular reading to works subjectively interesting to schoolchildren. One of the key problems of the study was the question of the sincerity of the respondents. The results of the study can be applied in the process of literary education of schoolchildren in the formation of internal motivation to read. In addition, the presented questionnaire model can be used to form a reading environment in specific educational conditions, both in the above and in a modified form.

Abstract: Experience in analyzing a student's digital footprint in the Learning management System (LMS) Moodle. The analysis of the digital footprint is carried out in the cancers of the course "Project Management". The project management course is an actual course for future students of architectural specialties, due to the requirements of the professional standard. The data source was students' feedback about the course, as well as questionnaire data. The questionnaire is filled out by the listeners without fail. The questionnaire questions are post-project analysis questions from the MSF (Microsoft FrameWork Solutions) project development methodology. Unlike the questionnaire, feedback about the course is left at will, the content of the reviews is not regulated by anything. The main conclusion of the study can be attributed to the conclusion that the analysis of the digital footprint allows you to identify and determine the skills, abilities and the experience that students receive during the course. Thus, the analysis of the digital footprint serves as an independent confirmation of the correctness of the decision on which competencies the course should form. Also, the analysis of the digital footprint allows us to conclude whether the training course forms the skills and abilities required by professional standards in this specialty. The methodology of digital footprint analysis demonstrated in this study is of independent value.

Abstract: The article describes the experience of author's participation in the development of ESP course (English for Specific Purposes) for students majoring in International Relations and Regional Studies, as well as examines the theoretical prerequisites for creation of similar courses. Having compared the terminological and discursive approaches towards development of the course in the sphere of humanities, preference is given to the latter. The article analyzes the offered by foreign linguistics integrative (CLIL) approach towards learning English language for special purposes, which implies combining the study of language and specialty discipline within the framework of a single course. Although the idea raises obvious interest, the authors of the course choose a rather traditional approach. The texts underlying the course are subordinate to its key objectives. Since the course is centered upon productive competences – mainly speaking – it predetermined the choice of factographic type of texts over analytical. Another method for increasing motivation is the use of illustrations, video and audio materials. The article also considers the problem of authenticity and scientific objectivity of the selected texts, since the views established in the Russian and foreign humanities may differ. The number and types of activities are determined by the specific needs of the students. Special emphasis is placed on determination and interpretation of metaphors in the scientific discourse of humanities.

Abstract: The paper examines the relationship between the digital footprint of high school students in the Vkontakte social network with their high formal educational achievements (prizes in All-Russian Olympiads). To do this, using the Vkontakte API, the digital footprint of users is uploaded, a classifier is built to determine whether a student is a prize-winner of the Olympiads, and it turns out which groups of variables (personal characteristics, popularity and novelty of posts on the wall, subscriptions to communities) have the greatest impact on the accuracy of classification. The classification uses user data from the Vkontakte social network of 12,588 graduates of the 11th grade in 2019 and 2020, and machine learning algorithms. As a result of the study, the relationship between the level of educational potential, as a student's ability to win Olympiads, and the subject of content interesting to such students was revealed. 63 Vkontakte communities were also identified as the most significant for the classification of study participants. Among the communities that are more popular with the winners of the Olympiads, there are topics related to science and passing the Unified State Exam, as well as intellectual memes. The subscriptions of "non-Olympians" express the presence of communities with humor and entertainment content. This observation refutes the widespread opinion in the pedagogical community about the negative impact of social networks on the success of schoolchildren's education. The Vkontakte information space contains not only entertainment content, but also information that supports or stimulates cognitive interest and educational motivation.

Abstract: The subject of the researc is the process of measuring qualitative results of students' success in the English academic writing course. Based on the author, students' academic writing skills grow in parallel with a growing independence of students, expansion of the 'genre repertory' of written English, and development of professional motivation. These changes are viewed by the author of the article as the main criteria for evaluating the results of the course in general. In terms of evaluating each written work in particular, traditionally the quality of academic texts of students who study English as a foreign language is estimated depending on the criteria developed by international test institutions, for example, IELTS (academic module). However, this points-based system allows to evaluate the literacy of a text in the first place. It does not provide a complete idea of one's ability to shift from the culture of the native written speech to the culture of a foreign written speech. In her research Chuykova tries to include traditional indicators such as 'content', 'organisation' and 'language literacy' of an academic text in evaluating authenticity of a text. The author concludes that authenticity of an academic text written in a foreing language should be defined based on three basic criteria. Original content and accurate observation of academic literacy requirements raise the authenticity of an academic text while errors caused by the need to write in a foreign language and work in a foreign cultural field decrease it. These criteria are specified and systematized by Chuykova in her article.

Abstract: Modern high-level requirements for training skilled workers and mid-level professionals require the academic community to introduce new pedagogical technologies that would contribute to the enhancement of intellectual activity of students to solve increasingly complex production problems. Implementation of interactive forms and methods in conjunction with the problem-based learning enables a fundamentally new way to look at the process of teaching academic disciplines and modules. There is an opportunity to provide practice-oriented learning even in the process of teaching traditional disciplines. The interaction of the instructor with students is meant to ensure the application of acquired knowledge in practice by performing any professional activity when solving situational tasks. The authors of this article discuss the implementation of this approach in the process of teaching technical graphics to college students. The authors present methodical development of the practical lessons for this discipline where the student's task is close to the real production situation and involves them into analysis of the problem, finding its solution, learning to argue and defend their professional position. Students work in small groups; elements of the master class, brainstorming, discussions, forms of self-control and mutual control are implemented. Presented methodical development can be taken as a basis and used after adaptation to a particular course by teachers of different engineering disciplines who want to better prepare and conduct their classes. This approach does not only increase the effectiveness of individual lessons but also contributes to the activation of educational-cognitive activity of students, better assimilation of the studied material, and provides practical orientation of the learning process that is an integral part of training of graduates who are going to participate in the work of modern innovative production.

Abstract: The authors of the article emphasize the need for creating teaching and learning aids of the new generation, the aids that would take into account the transfer of the system of education from the subject-knowledge model to the practice-oriented (competence) model of the educational process which involves more independent work or students, interactive educational proccess and individualization of learning. The subject of the research is the psychological and pedagogical aspects of the pedagogical design of educational resources for self-learning and training. The authors set a goal to design didactically based and technically verified test-simulators presented as DVD-Video that would satisfy the federal educational standards of the latest generation. Based on the system approach to designing educational resources for academic disciplines, the authors have proved the need to create test-stimulators for independent work of students. The authors describe particular didactic targets based on the analysis of the conceptual framework of Chemistry as an academic discipline. Didactic justification of the choice of technological solutions is the following: teaching function of testing technologies and pedagogical significance of educational videos providing high visual expression and emotional perception of the educational information. Audio comments from the teacher allow a student to analyze his mistakes and promptly monitor the success of his progress with each topic.  The article presents the results of the development and creation of test-simulators on the topics of the discipline "Chemistry" for 1st year students of a Technical University. Test-simulators allow a stsudent to independently work on his curriculum topics, see the results of his work, adequately assess the succcess of his proceeding with the topic and receive teacher's audio guidelines. Using test-simulators, each student has a possibility to work whenever he can and choose the best level of intensity of work for himself. The advantages of this kind of teaching and learning aids include active work of a student during watching a video (in particular, independent planning of an experiment, measuring the length of chemical reaction, and further calculation of the time of chemical reaction, building a graph, etc.). Test-simulators are presented in DVD-Video and can be placed in the software environment MOODLE which allows them to organize a direct connection with the theoretical training material via hyperlinks. Test-simulators allow the teacher to really manage the independent work of students and allow students to quickly control their educational achievement through testing. The student is able to independently learn the discipline actually operating in a mode of training program. The conducted pedagogical experiments in groups of the 1st year students have shown high efficiency of test-simulators in the learning process. The presented test-simulators can be recommended for use in the educational process of technical universities.

Abstract: In their article the authors discuss the philosophical understanding of aresearch dialogue and a classification of dialogues in the pedagogical research space, dialogue as a mean of obtaining new pedagogical knowledge and a form of a multidimensional reflection by participants of the positions, ideas and approaches; and also as a form of research cooperation. The logical bases of the dialogue argumentation focused on such segments as argument to tradition, authority, common sense, belief, analogy are in detail discussed; the statement "pedagogical dialogue as an instrument of obtaining new knowledge" is also covered. The main research methods used by the authors are the premised analysis of a phenomenon from the point of view of the studied problem field, heuristic synthesis and a retrospection of the studied problem.The article covers the following problems: philosophic representation of a research of a dialogue, classification of pedagogical dialogues; dialogue as a method of scientific discovery and a form of multiaspect reflection by participants of their ideas, approaches and positions and as a form of scientific cooperation.

Keywords: tradition and analogy, search and research dialogue, thesis research, dialogue as a knowledge tool, argument to belief, authority, pedagogical dialogical culture, multidimensional reflection of a result, scientific dialogue, method of receiving result, research methodology

Abstract: In this article features of carrying out interactive lectures as an innovative form of education are explained. One of the principal shortcomings of a traditional lecture is a weak feedback, i.e. the absence of interactivity as it is. It is necessary to apply new approaches to giving lectures based on interactive technologies where training activity is carried out in the conditions of continuous, active interaction of all members of the educational process. In the article methods of the organization of main types of interactive lectures are provided: lectures with the analysis of speci􀏔ic situations, vizualization lectures, lectures using the feedback technique. The author examines examples of interactive lectures for bachelors majoring in the discipline ‘Pedagogical Education’, Faculty of Physics. In his article Artyukhin provides theoretical grounds and describes practical implementation of teaching methods that are based on the bilateral feedback and creative interaction of all actors of the educational process. The author also gives examples of lectures and shows that the knowledge and skills obtained during such lectures are more profound, better systematized, longer remembered and easier implemented. As a result, this signi􀏔icantly increases students’ interest in the discipline and improves their professional skills.

Abstract: The need for new forms of work with students is dictated by the modern development trends in the general educational process at a University caused by social and economic changes in Russia as well as the demand for modernization of many social institutions including the system of education. Today it is very important to trace new knowledge in order to catch up with the science-driven development and offer one’s own point of view if necessary. The authors of the present research article share their experience in using new forms and methods of organizing student’s research activity. The aforesaid goal requires a search for the best ways of adaptation of students to the modern social environment. The Fair of Scientific ideas and Internet discussions are a great example. Using such forms of organizing research activity of students, we can talk about a certain logic of implementation of the competency building approach allowing to combine traditional forms of research with innovative methods more efficiently. The authors have three years of experience in using the aforesaid methods with student and therefore an offer an approximate order and schedule of such activities.

Abstract: The article analyzes the expert’s analytical report ‘Future of High School in Russia: Experts’ Opinion’ prepared by the Center of Strategic Researches of the Siberian Federal University. The report is devoted to the forecast of the second wave of Enlightenment that would turn the ‘knowledge-based pedagogy’ into ‘research and project based pedagogy’ as well as activity pedagogy. The author of the article analyzes the arguments provided by the report writers and shows that report conclusions seem quite dubious because even the nearest future is quite uncertain and sociality keeps changing all the time. Instead of forecasting, the author suggests to use methodological interpretation of the situation in modern civilization in general and education in particular. As a part of such interpretation, the author analyzes modern social megatendencies, leading type of sociality which is typical for modernity, Russia’s path and sociality and, finally, demands for education and pedagogy caused by the above mentioned trends.
