The article deals with modern educational technologies, analyzes approaches to their classification. In particular, it considers such a classification criterion as the features of cognitive activity management. It is noted that the cognitive activity management in a number of educational technologies can be characterized as a «strategy of indirect actions». The term of «indirect action strategy» was introduced by B.G. Liddell Hurt, an outstanding military theorist and historian. This term was previously used in military affairs and related to interstate relations, not in pedagogy. However, this term best describes goal setting in many educational technologies. As applied to educational technologies, the «indirect action strategy» is that the student consciously pursues one goal, but actually achieves another one. The goal that seems to the student to be the most significant in the educational process, in fact, is of a subordinate, service nature. This shows such a common property of hierarchical systems as the ability to form system inversions. In the case of system inversion, the lowest, subordinate element in the hierarchy takes on the dominant value, while remaining in its former low hierarchical position. In other words, there is a contradiction between the formal position of an element in the system and its actual role in it. For example, this situation develops when using game educational technologies. The learner, immersed in the learning game, does not perceive and is not aware of anything other than the game itself; however, in this game he acquires a number of important professional skills. This is due to the very nature of the game activity, in which it is not the external goal that is crucial, but the game process itself. A similar situation develops when using problem-based learning. The student solves the educational problem, which in the course of activity seems to him something very important. However, it is not the problem itself that is really important, but the competencies that the student acquires in the process of solving it. Similarly, the strategy of indirect actions is manifested in the application of the project method, as well as in the use of case study technology.

The principle of uncertainty operates in the perspective of discussing the modern Russian education modernization, it arises in the circumstances of unclear public priorities, goals, values. At the educational practice viewpoint, the holistic methodology absence for the philosophical understanding of certainty and uncertainty of ontological, epistemological, epistemological, axiological research programs, is reflected in both satisfying human cognitive needs and forecasting in education. Developing a methodological formalization of concepts «certainty», «uncertainty», «ontological uncertainty» (non-articulation of properties and behavior of the system or its individual element), «epistemological uncertainty» (in techniques of cognition, forming a worldview, implementing innovations, as well as interpreting the quality of education from the standpoint market laws), «epistemological uncertainty» (parametric, random, ambiguous and uncertainty of interaction) are associated with a critical discussion of the essential signs of uncertainty in society and education, which are becoming the research subject of the education philosophy. A survey of philosophers’ opinions regarding the education models of the future pointed to the critically-oriented nature of already existing prototypes and the development of their scenarios. The need to determine the theoretical status of «uncertainty in education» is closely related to understanding a person's place in the world, agreeing in the public consciousness of a consistent understanding of the axiological categories: «value of education» and «education as a value» and their new interpretation based on the articulation of «axiological certainty» as new ecosystems of values and principles of their functioning in the education of the future. Understanding the changes in the ontological, epistemological and axiological foundations of Russian education is private explications of socio-philosophical subjectivism to a certain extent. Modern concepts discussing the axiological reversal in educational practices concentrate around the problem of axiological certainty, namely: the preservation of civilization and the hierarchical nature of educational goals and values as an important component of effective education management.

Nowadays, in the twenties of the XXI century, many problems seemed to be fantastic plots not so long ago, twenty or thirty years ago, are becoming obvious. They are: robotization, artificial intelligence, replacing people by machine guns, which will lead to mass unemployment and uselessness of a person in the future world. Such expectations are called «conflictogenic»ones, because they cause disturbing moods in the society. Indeed, the artificial intelligence works better in a number of human labor spheres. Tasks as recruitment for an organization, accounting operations, dispatching, vehicle controlling are in some cases shifted to robots, an electronic brain. The robotization process is still gradually taking place in the world; it is still more profitable to use cheaper human labor than machines in underdeveloped countries. However, there are no guarantees that the process of replacing people with automatic devices will not become explosive. The International Monetary Fund has developed scenarios for possible options to introduce the artificial intelligence in mankind’s life. Because the process is already underway, the first symptoms of conflict are evident. The study represents the reactions of young generation representatives to phenomena in the society related to entering the artificial intelligence into real life. Nowadays disturbing conflictogens in implementing the artificial intelligence are self-isolation; self-employment; loneliness; uselessness for the society as an unclaimed specialist who cannot offer himself; reality illusion in the virtual reality; physiological atrophy, deterioration in health; suicidal tendencies; criminal tendencies (hacking). The author reveals character fears of different age groups. The paper shows viewpoints on the situation of futurologists, formulates thoughts on the qualities necessary for a person in the nearest future including widespread the artificial intelligence use in various life fields.

In the modern world, global changes are taking place in all spheres of society, including economy, science, education and culture. In this regard, a detailed analysis and comprehension of ongoing processes become relevant to develop a specific strategy. In 2021, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education adopted the Order «On the approval of the nomenclature of scientific specialties for which scientific degrees are awarded <….>”; the nomenclature of scientific specialties was published, where specialty 05.25.03 «Library Science, Bibliography science and Bibliology» was not reflected (among pedagogical, historical, philological, technical sciences). This document came next to a draft nomenclature of scientific specialties (2020), which was widely discussed by the scientific community. The library community and representatives of university science carried out a number of activities aimed at changing the situation. The authors recreate the picture of forming and growing the profile scientific specialty, including its presentation in the nomenclature of scientific specialties for which scientific degrees are awarded since 1957; analyze statistic materials on post-graduate training of highly qualified scientific personnel and activity to defense dissertations in 1999–2020; generalize and assess the data, consider the problems and vectors of this specialty development to justify the inclusion of the specialty «Library Science, Bibliography Science and Bibliology» in the new nomenclature of scientific specialties to continue the training of highly qualified scientific personnel in graduate school, and to carry out specialized research. The article argues that the consequences of the ongoing reforms in science have led to transformations, slowing down the rotation of scientific personnel, extinguishing the activities of dissertation councils and scientific schools in library science, bibliography and bibliology in the regions and complicating the development of library and information science in general.

The article discusses modern approaches to the «human capital» category definition, trends in developing human capital and its management system in higher education institutions of the Russian Federation. The paper determines that the problem of the educational environment is a current direction of modern pedagogical research. The authors study issues of qualitative changes at the university educational environment under conditions of dominating a new technological order in socio-economic processes, the digital economy development. The educational environment of Tomsk Agricultural Institute – Novosibirsk State Agrarian University branch is structured based on the analysis of psychological, pedagogical and economic literature, regulatory and legal support of the educational process, as well as the university general management system, the human capital of its teaching staff, and the analysis of the capital itself in particular. The article outlines the problematic field of managing the teaching staff human capital under conditions of the educational environment digitalization of the educational organization under study determining its actual tasks based on observation results of the human capital management process at the university, questionnaires and interviews of its teaching staff, calculation and analysis of estimated indicators of human capital. The most problematic areas of management activity of Tomsk Agricultural Institute under conditions of growing the informatization and digitalization processes are the following: human capital management in the field of educational, methodological and research work of university teachers. The authors conclude on the need to improve the human capital management system of the educational organization under study. They propose to implement the mid-term project «The teaching staff motivation of Tomsk Agricultural Institute – Novosibirsk State Agrarian University branch to work effectively under conditions of digitalization of the educational environment». It will allow raising the mechanism effectiveness of interacting the university administration and employees belonging to the teaching staff at the Institute e-learning field through forming a system of employee tangible and intangible incentives.

The article is devoted to changes in the conditions to provide educational services to certain categories of citizens in the Russian Federation in relation to adopting new conditions to implement the national projects «Demography» and «Labor productivity» for certain categories of citizens in 2021.

Introduction. The article is devoted to emerging the rationalism principle as a modern component of the polytechnism principle, which corresponds to such laws as the conditionality of the education field to modern trends in the sphere of economics and production, processes of internationalization and international integration in training workers, the education quality dependence in the vocational education system on a united world educational space. Problem statement. Solving the problem of learning based on the principle of rationalism contributes to: 1) activation of cognitive and creative activity of students; 2) creation of conditions for creative self-realization of the individual; 3) education and development of a stable need for self-development; 4) demand for a graduate with innovative knowledge and skills and his social security. Research methodology. The research approaches are systematic, complex, set a different vision of the tasks solved in the interaction of college teachers and mentors of enterprises; a project-creative approach based on joint creative activity. The study is carried out based on I. N. Ulyanov Ulyanovsk State Pedagogical University, Ulyanovsk Vocational and Polytechnic College and Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant (JSC «UAZ»). The study results. The implementation result of training workers on the rationalism principle base is the training quality grows, which makes it possible to prepare up to 20 percent of highly qualified graduates – at the level of the fifth category and demand for college graduates in the workplace. Such indicators make it possible to solve the problem of training highly qualified workers in the conditions of the SPO system. Conclusions. The study elaborates a model and consider the experience of implementing the rationalism principle based on dual training and joint design and creative activity, represents the main components of the model practical use. The research results allow identifying the prospects for further research, which consist in the development of new directions, forms, means and methods of implementing the rationalization principle in training workers.

The study objective is to examine the structure and characteristics of secondary employment of medical university students. The authors carry out a survey of students of Omsk State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Russia by continuous questionnaire survey technique. The questions of the questionnaire were aimed at socio-demographic identification of students. 2 330 (59,6 %) respondents participated in the survey of 3 906 students studying in the organization. According to the survey results 24,7 % (576) of students of OSMU work in their free time, while 12,6 % (294) work in medical sphere. Employed students are more common among married respondents compared to unmarried ones (55,9 and 29,1 % respectively, χ² = 55.53, p < 0.001, Pearson). There is a growing trend in the proportion of employed students from the 1st year to 5th year (11,9 and 41,8 %, respectively). The same dynamics is revealed in the proportion of employed respondents in medicine (4,4 and 28,8 %, respectively). Respondents studying at the Preventive Medicine Department are employed in the medical field significantly less likely than other departments (χ² = 30,04, p < 0.001, Pearson). The share of employed OSMU students increases while moving up the educational ladder. At the same time, employed students are 2 times more common among married students. The proportion of employed students of the Faculty of Dentistry of the 3rd and 5th yersis much higher compared to other faculties. Medical and Preventive Faculty students show the lowest rates with respect to employment in the medical field in their free time.

The authors study satisfying students of the Engineering and Physics Faculty of High Technologies of Ulyanovsk State University with the quality of online learning during the pandemic. They have determine the criteria and indicators of satisfaction with online learning based on implementing expectations of online learning and the social and professional adaptation (SPA) of students to online conditions. The diagnostic tools included a questionnaire to identify the implementation of students’ expectations of online training in natural sciences and humanities and a methodology for its processing. According to the survey results, the derived percentage integral indicators of implementing expectations of online training in natural sciences and humanities are the following: nearly 20 % of students are completely dissatisfied with online training in both blocks of disciplines; the rest are fully satisfied (38 %) or partially satisfied (about 40 %). The level of satisfaction with online learning of students according to the criterion of their readiness for the online mode was determined using a seven-level scale of self-assessment of psychological comfort in online and offline classes of natural science and humanities blocks of disciplines. Further, the percentage distribution of respondents on seven levels of the psychological comfort scale in online and offline classes of the natural science and humanities blocks of disciplines were carried on and compared. The analysis shows that the psychological well-being of the majority of respondents (about 86 %) in online classes in natural sciences is in the scale positive area; about 70 % of them are in the maximum comfort range. A similar analysis of online classes in the humanities shows that the comfort of the majority of respondents (about 87 %) corresponds to the scale positive area. 73 % of them are in the maximum comfort range. The study results have revealed rather high level of student satisfaction with studying natural sciences and humanities online, which indicates, in general, in favor of partial online education. Based on the existing direct dependence of motivation to learn and realizing expectations of the educational process, the authors conclude about maintaining a high level of motivation to learn in an online environment.

A key factor of the educational process success is psychological competently built didactic communication between a student and teacher. The problem is only the lack of both methodological unity in the general, theoretical analysis of the phenomenon of didactic communication itself, and the patchwork of practices aimed to optimize the didactic communication real process. The study objective is to analyse the didactic communication criteria between a teacher and student, their understanding as the basis for selection and comparative analysis of different strategies of the teacher and student didactic communication. The paper carries out a meaningful analysis of the teacher-student didactic communication criteria: educational interaction key constructs, its different sides and aspects in the ideas of the teacher; communication space and time modes, «the learning effect concepts», the image of a student in teacher ideas, typical communication means; a didactic communication organizational form reproduced by a teacher; the teacher communicative self-identification and research tools, the didactic communication correction. As study results, the authors conclude that at an infinite variety of individual-personal shades of didactic communication, in general, it seems possible to single out historically changing common, covering most of the teaching community, systems of ideas on the optimal strategy of educational interaction with students.

The development of the civil service in Russia is a permanent process aimed at improving the quality and effectiveness of the civil servant activities, bringing it in line with the new conditions and expectations of citizens. The civil service transformation is accompanied by changes in the legal framework governing this institution, outstripping the professional development of its personnel corps. The principle of lifelong learning laid down in the federal law «On education» has caused the need to fix a new model of professional development of civil servants in the law «On the state civil service of the Russian Federation». The article analyzes the fundamental differences between the previously existing and modern approaches to the professional development of civil servants. A normative model of professional competencies of civil servants is proposed based on the requirements and legal norms governing the civil service, programs for its development, current trends (digitalization and expansion of information technology, organizational and technological capabilities). The model integral components are normative values that guide the activities of civil servants in the context of public service. The model considered in the article can serve as a basis to determine the needs, content and forms of professional development of both current and potential civil servants on the part of the heads and personnel services of government agency. Moreover, this model makes it possible to identify problems and omissions in the federal state educational standard in the direction of «State and Municipal Administration» and to set up development zones for students – future civil servants.

Introduction and problem statement. The article combines scientific and pedagogical ideas on the success situation as a way to organize the creative activity of the teacher's personality and a form of his professional self-realization. Nowadays, self-realization as a process of revealing intentions and talents of an individual takes place in conditions of fierce competition and high demands of business, labor market. Therefore, besides the main professional profile, the teacher needs to master many related professional and personal competencies, hard and soft skills, correlating desires, goals and opportunities. Methodology. As the scientific literature analysis result, the author deduces three meaningful interpretations of success as: 1) an activity characteristics; 2) an experience of joy; 3) a motive; and does not reduce it to the attributes of material prosperity and other quantitative indicators. Here, success is a prerequisite for personal development and creative self-realization. Based on the above, the success situation is stated as the leading condition for creative self-realization. Methods. The paper presents the author's classification of success situations by types of joy in educational and pedagogical activity. At teaching creative professions, the success situation can be developed in a set of techniques: removing clamps (through exercises to restore breathing); exercises for gradually increasing difficulties; accounting the physical condition and emotional well-being of a dancer/actor; evaluating not the result, but the physical effort and emotional costs to achieve a successful result; optimistic attitude for the future. Results. The article emphasizes that the success achievement contains both the external manifestations of social prestige and material wealth, and the individual internal reserves. The study shows that success, in addition to the activity result and its evaluation, contains a motive, meaning, purpose and means to achieve it; which are accompanied with feelings of joy by those who study, and pedagogical techniques to create a situation of success serve as the basis for the teacher professional competence and creative self-realization.

The work provides a theoretical understanding and practical identification of the ability structure of future officers to perform tasks in special conditions, which are understood as special legal regimes enshrined in the Russian Federation: emergency situations, states of emergency regimes, martial law, and the legal regime of a counter-terrorist operations. The paper examines scientists’ opinions on the concept definition of abilities and their structure; notes that scientific works of K.K. Platonov, D.K. Kirnarskaya, V.A. Krutetsky, A.N. Leontyev, B.M. Teplova, V.D. Shadrikova, S.L. Rubinstein, V.N. Druzhinin and others are devoted to studying abilities; considers the point of view of the above researchers; draws the corresponding conclusions. The authors establish that professional abilities are referred to special abilities, which are understood as the abilities necessary to perform a certain activity within ta person profession frameworks. They play the role, first, of the conditions to realize an individual as a professional, and then, of the professional activity result. The purposeful formation of certain professional abilities in future officers should be justified by their need for professional activity and fulfill the requirements for graduates of military universities. To understand how the ability to perform professional tasks in special conditions affects forming personal structures of future officers, as well as to find out what role it plays in maintaining and developing the general professional level of future officers, it is necessary to study the structure of this ability. The article reveals that the value-motivational, emotional and strong-willed, intellectual (cognitive), adaptive, activity-practical, communicative components are distinguished as the components of the ability structure of future officers to perform tasks in special conditions.

Mathematical models, which are means to reflect almost all processes and phenomena, penetrate intensively into all life spheres and play an important role in both natural science, engineering research and humanities. In this regard, new requirements are being put forward for training future specialists of various qualifications, to form professional competencies of which it’s necessary to master mathematics foundations. The article substantiates the importance to form mathematical competence of students of humanitarian specialties. Under the humanitarian specialties here, we mean specialties related to business, such as «Trade», «Management», «Marketing», «Advertising and public relations», etc. At the same time, the authors note that each specialty has a component reflecting and modeling real situations in the industry, which is quite interesting and accessible to junior students of the listed specialties and can be demonstrated even in the math basic course. The article emphasize that the topic relevance is dictated by the transition to a competency-based learning model, which, among other things, implies the development of independent learning skills among university students. The paper shows that the introduction of professional orientation in teaching mathematical disciplines is complicated by the lack of appropriate technologies and standards, as well as by a drop in the level of school mathematics training. It analyzes some aspects of this issue and emphasizes that motivational aspects should be put at the forefront while developing mathematics courses for students of humanitarian specialties of the university. The authors conclude that the competent mathematics course elaboration for students studying in the humanities will help to understand the importance of mathematical foundations for their further growth, awaken their desire to analyze, highlight the main thing, reason, see many ways to solve professional problems.

The article deals with some aspects of studying the emotional sphere of students with disabilities in the period of distance learning connecting with the spread of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. A research scheme has been developed and implemented to identify correlations between the indicators of the emotional sphere and satisfaction of distance learning. The investigation is based on the study results of 64 students with sensory and physical disorders and somatic diseases studying at Transbaikal State University. Before moving to distance educational technologies during the pandemic, all students were studied in traditional, full-time education form. The diagnostic data analysis showed significant relationships between emotional indicators, as well as emotional ones with parameters of satisfaction with distance learning in students with disabilities.

Group work at a university can lead to a noticeable growth of students' progress in studies, the ability to reason and motivate for further language mastering. The achievement of such results is directly dependent on each student contribution. Group support strategies such as role assignments, group contracts, anonymous grades and ratings are designed to encourage active student participation. The study objective is to reveal the students' perception of group work in general and the effectiveness of support strategies in particular. In-depth interviews were carried out in groups using support strategies. Students complained unequal contributions paying tribute to the social support provided by group members in both high- and low-performing groups. The students who scored high on the test results recognized the group work benefits regardless the overall performance of their groups, while students with lower scores perceived the group work as time-consuming «hard work»with little cognitive benefit. Anonymous comments from fellow students differed slightly between the high and low scoring groups. The numerical scores did indeed correlate with the group's overall performance. However, students in groups with the lower academic performance evaluated their classmates more rigorously, while students in higher performing groups were more generous in their ratings for less successful students. Scientific novelty lies in the approach to research group work at the university from the view point of students involving foreign experience and based on ideas, methods and technologies of Russian and foreign scientists. As a study result, it was determined that students of different levels of the subject training perceive group work as a valuable experience that has a positive effect on the learning process. The selected support strategies have shown the effectiveness varying degrees.
