Introduction. The article provides a philosophical analysis of the transformation of the human capital structure in the context of the transition to an economy of technology and artificial intelligence. Setting the task. Awareness of the limitations of economic approaches to understanding this phenomenon led the authors to the need to consider human capital and the historical dynamics of its development through the prism of changing technological patterns. In fact, it is moving from the dominance of physiological capital to the establishment of digital capital as a key element for the sixth technological order. Research methodology and methodology. The problem is discussed within the conceptual framework of historical-philosophical and socio-cognitive approaches, using classical and constructivist principles developed for the study of human capital in the postmodern era. Results. The result of the research is the developed hierarchical model of the human capital structure that meets the requirements of the modern agro-industrial complex, which is a multi-level system integrating physical, emotional, social, intellectual and digital constructs (levels with relative independence in a holistic unity) of human capital. Conclusions. In this discourse, the imperative of transition to a new educational model correlated with these constructs is substantiated.

Introduction. Coenology is a scientific field that studies coenoses of different nature, was founded by Professor B. I. Kudrin of Moscow Power Engineering Institute about 40 years ago. Since then, coenology has spread to many fields of knowledge. During this time, researchers have accumulated a lot of empirical material, which required generalization at the theoretical level, which determined the relevance of the stated topic. 20 years later, B. I. Kudrin formulated a new coenological paradigm: "...there is a common structure of coenoses of any nature ... the world is described by models of H-distribution...". The article is devoted to its justification. Purpose setting. Setting tasks are: 1) generalization and analysis of the results of the study of coenoses of different natures of living and inanimate matter, the objects of which form hyperbolic rank H-distributions (GRR) by parameters or compositions; 2) classification of GRR by scale levels; 3) substantiation of the deterministic process of self-organization of coenoses into a hierarchical multilevel system and the formation of a coenological matrix of the World. Methodology and methods of the study. The specific methods are: 1) coenological rank analysis – graphic construction of GRR of the objects of coenoses by means of computer programs and approximation of them by hyperbolic function; 2) assessing the closeness of the correlation of GRR from different scale levels by means of Pearson’s method. The general methods are: induction, deduction, analogy, modeling. Results. The conducted coenological rank analysis indicates the determinism of the process of self-organization of coenoses of different nature at all scale levels. A paired comparison of GRR of different nature from various levels from deep space to the microcosm and societies by the Pearson’s method showed a high degree of their correlation with each other, which proves the self-organization of coenoses according to hierarchies into a multilevel fractal megasystem, which is considered by the author as a coenological matrix of the World (the scheme is presented). Conclusion. 1) B.I. Kudrin’s coenological paradigm is proved: "The world is described by H-distribution models"; 2) The analysis of the results allows us to consider the existence of a coenological matrix of the World as scientifically justified.

Introduction. The expansion of the range of methods and forms suitable for use in modern library science research makes it possible to achieve convergence and interaction of various conceptual and methodological approaches, as well as such resultative effects that satisfy the need for practical benefits from theoretical constructions. The modern methodology of science is developing more and more complete systems and models of scientific knowledge, which are the result of a special methodological analysis, which naturally leads to a significant transformation of views on the knowledge and cognition included in these systems. Scientific laws are the reflection of objectively existing properties, relationships or connections between phenomena and processes in each system of knowledge; they change – and laws transform or theoretical structures that previously did not exist in this capacity transform into laws. This evolutionary process inevitably leads, in addition to innovative transformations in the strategy of scientific knowledge, to changes in the practical activities of social institutions, in particular, in educational programs and the structure of academic disciplines of the humanities cycle. Purpose setting. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of professional scientific positions illustrating the methodological essence of nomology as a study of forms of library science knowledge. The main task is to identify the possibilities of transforming the existing types of conceptual formations of library science knowledge, which acquire new qualities, develop the capabilities contained in them and enrich their internal structure in the process of methodological reconstruction. Methodology and methods of the study. Methods used in the work: analysis and generalization of the content of domestic and foreign publications on the above-mentioned problem.

Introduction. The issues of training personnel in a single program at the interface of secondary vocational (SVE) and higher (HE) education are the main focus of educators who train specialists in various areas of expertise. The distinctive features of the evolution of end-to-end personnel training systems are poorly studied. Thus, such insufficient knowledge cannot but reduce the effectiveness of the developed and implemented models of interaction between SVE and HE institutions as well as models of managing such interaction. Problem statement. This study aims to construct an evolution model of continuous personnel training in a single program (i.e., end-to-end personnel training) at the SVE–HE interface. The model can enable one to predict the development of such training as well as to manage it. Methodology and methods of the study. To achieve the goal set in the study, content analysis and modeling were employed. In particular, when modeling the evolution of end-to-end training at the SVE–HE interface, a categorial research method, namely goal sequencing, was used. Results. The specified method enabled the identification of states characteristic of the stages of end-to-end personnel training development from conception to its abandonment. They are as follows: the low-differentiated state, the competitive state, the growth state, the decline state. At each stage, the system can develop in one of the three directions: progress, isogress, regress. The article describes the content of management actions required at each identified stage. Conclusion. The conducted research made it possible to expand the research methodology of the subject area under consideration. The obtained results can be practically applied in designing a management system for end-to-end personnel training at the SVE–HE interface.

Introduction. In a rapidly changing world, where the life cycle of knowledge is shortening, basic education is not enough to meet the learning needs of a person throughout his life. Additional professional education (APE) plays a key role in this process, providing an opportunity to acquire new knowledge and skills to improve competitiveness in the labor market. Purpose setting. The article discusses the current state and trends of APE in Russia, focusing on its importance in the context of lifelong education. Since the concept of lifelong learning emerged at the UNESCO conference in 1968, this area has become key to ensuring the competitiveness of specialists in the labor market. Methods and methodology of the study. The article analyzes statistical data showing the growing interest in additional professional education among the population and identifies the main goals and motives for training. The types of APE programs, such as advanced training and professional retraining, as well as the role of self-education in the educational process are considered. Particular attention is paid to various forms and types of additional education, including corporate training, which helps improve the skills of employees and adapt educational programs to the requirements of employers. Results. The increasing role of the non-governmental sector in obtaining additional professional education, including digital educational organizations EdTech, is shown. Barriers that hinder the full use of the potential of additional professional education are identified. In conclusion, the need for further development of the additional professional education system is emphasized, including the integration of digital technologies and hybrid forms of education, which will ensure that educational programs meet modern labor market requirements and improve the quality of training professionals. Conclusion. The article contributes to understanding the dynamics of additional professional education in Russia and its impact on the development of human capital.

Introduction. The relevance of the problem of sociocultural adaptation is conditioned by the international cooperation of universities expanding every year and the accompanying increase in the share of foreign students in the total number of students. At the initial stage of education students face a number of difficulties and barriers of sociocultural adaptation, which become especially acute for those who do not speak Russian and begin to master the language and study the disciplines of the educational program in parallel. Purpose setting. The aim of the study is to identify the most significant barriers and difficulties of sociocultural adaptation faced by foreign students, which have a negative impact on the learning process. Methodology and methods of the study. The main research method used was an online survey in the form of questionnaires, which allowed us to identify the general range of problems of sociocultural adaptation of Chinese students studying at Baikal State University; an additional research method was an included structured observation, which allowed us to study the impact of adaptation difficulties on the learning process of students in dynamic characteristics. Results. The conducted research allowed to identify the following most significant barriers of sociocultural adaptation of foreign students, which create difficulties in learning: language barrier, which causes difficulties in communication with teachers; didactic barrier, which is related to the organization of the educational process and difficulties in mastering the forms and methods of teaching; methodological barrier, which is related to the provision of teaching disciplines with methodological materials in the students' native language or electronic resources available for quick translation. Conclusion. The results obtained in the course of the study can be used to make decisions within the university regarding the development and implementation of possible ways to overcome the barriers of sociocultural adaptation and minimize their negative impact on the learning process of foreign students.

Introduction. The application, development, and improvement of neurotechnologies in modern inclusive vocational education, despite its theoretical and practical relevance, remains poorly understood. Current research rarely addresses the challenges of modern digital neurotechnologies in education systematically. Researchers have shown that many neurodidactic ideas in inclusively oriented professional education at the current stage of development are destructive: technologies lack procedural and ideological transparency and a focus on the fundamental tasks of pedagogy as a practice of supporting human (self-)development. Purpose setting. The purpose of the study is to analyze current issues related to the application, development, and improvement of neurotechnologies in modern inclusive vocational education. The study's novelty lies in the development of an integrative theory of the application, development, and improvement of neurotechnologies in modern inclusive vocational education. Methods and methodology of the study. Research method include a theoretical analysis of the application, development, and improvement of neurotechnologies in modern inclusive vocational education. This study represents an attempt to integratively study the application, development, and improvement of neurotechnologies in modern inclusive vocational education. Results. In modern education, the professional development of individuals with disabilities and other educational needs is no
longer viewed as atypical, unusual, or exceptional. Practitioners and theorists are addressing the challenges of their practical resolution, identifying and implementing pathways and methods for professional, personal, and interpersonal development, socialization, support, and advancement in specific life situations. A significant number of researchers and educators in inclusive education place their hopes on the development, implementation, and refinement of digital technologies, including neurodigital ones, for the purpose of establishing connections and overcoming social isolation (exclusion and segregation) among individuals with disabilities. However, the use of modern neurodigital technologies in inclusive professional education can have a number of destructive consequences if their development, use, and refinement do not consider the sociocultural, psychological, pedagogical, and spiritual-axiological aspects of such "improvement" and correction. This is especially important in the context of choosing an ideological and theoretical model of inclusion: compensatory or integrative. Conclusion. We can see the prospects for research into the creation, application, and improvement of neuro-digital technologies in didactic, inclusive-oriented educational
dialogue in the context of creating and expanding ways for students with disabilities to stimulate their potential and abilities, correct existing disabilities, delays, and other developmental disorders to build effective, successful relationships with society: at university, in their future work, at home, etc. Correction and prevention of secondary and tertiary developmental and functional defects of the psyche and body as a whole allows people with disabilities to achieve self-realization and self-actualization. It is also important to understand that the use, creation, and improvement of existing neurodigital technologies is significantly limited by potential dangers, the primary one being the transformation of humans into machines, objects rather than subjects of culture. A posthuman hybrid or cyborg as a biorobot, controlled externally via invasive and noninvasive devices/neural interfaces, is not only a fantasy threat, but also an image that reminds educators and society that education should develop individuals as subjects, including subjects of value-based assessment of professional work and other aspects of life.

Introduction. The article is devoted to interactive teaching methods applied in the instruction of economic disciplines in institutions of higher and secondary vocational education. Authors examine, describe, and analyze the possibilities of using game-based technologies to enhance the interactivity of the learning process and to boost student motivation, regardless of the level of education being pursued. Purpose setting. The purpose of the research is to analyze the methods and techniques of interactive learning applied within the educational process, which have proven to be effective forms of organizing the educational process in the field of economic disciplines. The study also examines the validity of using these methods in teaching social sciences and humanities, allowing for an assessment of their role and significance in the modern educational context. Methodology and methods of the study. In writing the article and processing analytical materials, the following methods were used: analysis of scientific sources, observation, comparison, and pedagogical experiment. Data collection was carried out through student questionnaires, the results of which allowed assessing their attitude towards the introduction and use of interactive teaching methods. Results. The study confirms that interactive methods applied in the learning process arouse students’ interest, influence the improvement of academic performance, and enhance learning motivation within the framework of higher education programs and specialties of secondary vocational education. Conclusion. Based on the analysis of the impact of interactive teaching methods, it is advisable to recommend their broader and more active application in the educational process. This will help to improve learning, increase its effectiveness, and prepare graduates capable of successfully adapting to the requirements of the modern professional environment.

Career guidance work in educational institutions of secondary vocational education occupies an important place and influences not only the professional self-determination of high school students, but also the increase in the competitiveness of the educational institution in the educational services market. As a rule, this work is built in two main directions: firstly, this is active attraction of applicants, and secondly, assistance in the future employment of graduates. The article attempts to consider career guidance work aimed at solving the first problem, since an interested applicant, and later a student, is the key to successful mastering of the educational standard for the chosen profession. The author analyzed the practice of implementing career guidance work in pre-university training.

Introduction. The article examines the position and specifics of theology as an academic discipline within contemporary scientific knowledge. Purpose setting. Objections against theology as one of the humanities are based on the secular mindset that solidified during the Modern era. To clarify the nature of theology as a science, it is necessary to actualize the post-secular paradigm that began to form by the end of the 20th century. Methodology and methods of the study. The study employs the method of conceptual analysis, which allowed for the identification and construction of logical foundations to determine the specifics of theological knowledge and education. Results. It has been established that the secular worldview has lost its objective critical stance toward religious perspectives. The emerging post-secular paradigm exhibits syncretism and pluralism concerning forms of truth in knowledge. A consequence of this process is the return of theology to scientific discourse and, accordingly, to the education system. The necessity of dividing theology into secular and specifically religious branches is substantiated, which could contribute to the development of theological knowledge and clarify its actual value in the secular domain. Spiritual seminaries and universities, which possess secular accreditation as higher educational institutions, are now capable of providing the humanities discourse with a unique experience of understanding the Christian tradition. The article also discusses the general practical significance of theology, exemplified by the issue of digitalization. Conclusion. As a possible interdisciplinary consideration, the concept of theo-aesthetics is proposed as a distinctive way of contemplating the transcendent essence of the world through the manifestation of the beauty of creation. It is suggested to utilize the axiological potential of theology as a humanitarian discipline in addressing the practical challenges faced by contemporary education.
