Abstract

Relevance. The article focuses on the contradiction between the utilitarian attitudes of foreign students having chosen to study in Russia and value-oriented educational process of Russian higher educational institutions. The effective overcoming of this contradiction will be possible if Russian language teaching of foreign students is organized with their introducing to Russian Humanitarian Culture.

Goal of the article is to present philosophical and culturological analysis of the main aspects of the notion of “Russian Humanitarian Culture” directly addressed to the practice of teaching Russian as a foreign language.

Procedure and methods. The research uses theoretical methods (scientific literature analysis), empirical methods (personal conversations, participant observation, testing, questionnaire survey, pedagogical experiment). As an example, the article presents the procedure and the results of the method of unfinished sentence “When they talk about Russia, I imagine …”, which helped to identify the leading concepts that form associative-imaginative representation of foreign students about Russia.

Scientific novelty and/or theoretical and/or practical significance. The pedagogical meaning of the process of introducing foreign students to Russian Humanitarian Culture and its technological equipment with the help of the system of value-oriented educational situations is revealed.

Results. It is noted that there is certain influence of Western foreign language teaching methodology that is focused on the formation of communicative competence and speaking skills, as well as on the students’ orientation toward the stereotypes of common behavior and popular mass culture events. The necessity of learning a foreign language in connection with the acquisition of moral values presented in the history and Humanitarian Culture of a native speaker is emphasized.

Conclusions. It is necessary to provide axiological educational tools of pedagogically organized interaction between teachers and foreign students in the process of teaching Russian as a foreign language.

Abstract

Relevance. The relevance of the research is determined by the active use of the electronic information and educational environment (hereinafter referred to as EIOS) in educational organizations. For the productive use of IOS in educational organizations, it is important that each component of EOIS is used by students on an equal basis with all components of EIOS. When using the system, it is important for students to use all the elements evenly, this means that students are interested in all processes, since each element of the system has its own task, each section of the electronic environment should become interesting to students in its field of tasks.

Goal. The purpose of the study is to identify the level of activity of students using EIOS elements in 2019, 2020, 2021 and to substantiate the activity/passivity of using the system in each of its components.

 Procedure and methods. During the research, theoretical methods were used (analysis of normative documents regulating the use of electronic information and educational environment, analysis of the obtained statistical data, systematization of the obtained material), empirical methods (conversation, comparison).

Scientific novelty / theoretical and/or practical significance is in identifying more important elements when using the electronic information and educational environment for students, as well as to determine the element the activity of which is minimal. The data obtained in the course of the study can be useful to heads of educational organizations, teachers, students and postgraduates studying similar subjects.

Results. As a result of the analysis of students’ activity in the electronic information educational environment, it was revealed that the visit to the resource in comparison with 2019 (before the pandemic), 2020 (at the height of the pandemic) and in 2021 (the period of normalization of the educational process) has changed dramatically. If in 2019 and 2020 there were jumps from of visiting elements activity, then in 2021 there was a tendency for students to equalize visits to all elements of the system.

Conclusions. The EIOS contains all the most necessary elements to ensure a high-quality educational process and extracurricular activities. Each element of the electronic information and educational environment has its own task, which is designed to improve the information security of each participant in educational relations. The main purpose of the system is to improve the quality of the educational process, the quality of the implementation of educational programs. To achieve the goal, the electronic information and educational environment sets itself tasks in the operational management of the educational process, providing students with the necessary resources for the development of educational programs, ensuring interaction between all participants in the educational process.

Abstract

Relevance of the article consists in the development of strategies and methods of work that ensure the ability and readiness of students of advanced training courses on the basis of the Resource Center to independently design supplementary general education programs for preschool children.

Goal. Development & implementation of a methodological coordination and support model for independent work of students at the Resource Center when working on an individual project of an additional educational program for children.

Procedure and methods. The analysis of pedagogical literature related to the definition of “model” has been carried out. To build a model the modeling method to organize the independent work of university students while studying a foreign language was used, as well as approaches based on the theory of a step-by-step formation of mental actions by P.Ya. Galperin and personality selfdevelopment technologies by A.A. Ukhtomsky - G.K. Selevko.

Scientific novelty/theoretical and/or practical significance of the presented experience lies in the identification of the variability of active relations in the “teacher-student” system within the framework of advanced training courses on the basis of the Resource Center. For each subsystem, a sequence of actions has been determined: for the teacher (professor) (specific methodological approaches in organizing work with students), for the listener (self-development through the conscious and active acquisition of new experience).

Conclusions. There has been developed a classification of students on the basis of their experience of work in the system of additional education for children. The principle of pedagogical support of listeners, depending on the type of listener, has been revealed. There has been introduced a structural model of methodological coordination and support of students’ independent work over an individual project of an additional educational program, consisting of three blocks:

– structural components;

– pedagogical conditions;

– methodical pedagogical support.

Abstract

Relevance. Improvement of forms and methods of PR-experts preparation is of immediate relevance. The authors consider the instilling of communication management and information-analytical knowledge and skills to students in the learning process to be an effective alternative to the pandemic of “clip” thinking, the danger of which the President of the Russian Federation warned about in the strategic planning document (the Executive Order № 203 of 09.05.2017 “On the 2017–2030 Strategy for the Development of an Information Society in the Russian Federation”).

Goal is to cover the issues related to the development of the thematic content of academic disciplines of the information-technology unit to prepare PR-specialists (educational programme 42.03.01 “Advertising and Public Relations”), ensuring the formation of not only versatile, but also professional competences. In order to achieve this goal it is necessary to explore the PR-interaction field formed by both business interests and regulatory documents.

Procedure and methods. The research is based on the information modeling of the PR-interaction (communication) and systemic analysis of the information technology control of the PR-expert’s activity. The analysis of current regulatory documents in the PR-industry, projects and analytical materials of professionally-oriented communities ensured the relevance and practical value of the results obtained.

Scientific novelty and/or theoretical and/or practical significance. Regarding the information-technology training of future professionals, the research results allow optimizing the process of professional education to overcome the “gap” between the academic model of a graduate (supply model of an educational organization) and the demand model formed by the labour market. This trend is supported by the shift to the new generation educational standards (FSES 3++). The results of the study can be extrapolated to the practice of more than 200 educational institutions with state accreditation in the educational programme 42.03.01 “Advertising and Public Relations”, and solve the problem of preparation of a specialist, professionally demanded in the labour market.

Conclusions. The authors offer the wording of corporate PR-specialist professional competencies, developed by the information-technology subjects; the structure-functional scheme of the “Information Technologies in PR-activities” academic discipline is given and the scope of practical exercises and laboratory works; aimed at forming the presupposed professional competencies is detailed.
