GENERAL PEDAGOGY, HISTORY OF PEDAGOGY AND EDUCATION
Aim. The search for ways of the future pilots’ value-moral sphere development in the educational process of a military university is explained by the objective need for solving the conceptual, organizational and methodic contradictions that present an autonomous pedagogical problem and stimulate the systematic transformation of the phenomenon studied. One of the vectors of resolving these contradictions is development and substantiation of a pedagogical model based on the key ideas of systemic, integrative, personality-centered and axiological approaches and describing the conceptual, substantive, technological and diagnostic aspects of the process under study. Thus, the aim of the article is to develop and scientifically justify a pedagogical model of the future pilots’ value-moral sphere development in the educational process of a military university.
Methodology. The main methods of the research are analysis of scientific sources on the problem, synthesis of scientific ideas, generalization of pedagogical experience, pedagogical modeling. Scientific novelty/theoretical and/ or practical significance. The scientific novelty includes the description of a new pedagogical model which allows systematically and efficiently on long-term basis and in steady format to develop future pilots’ value-moral sphere in the educational process of a military university. The theoretical significance consists in clarifying and supplementing the concept of "value-moral sphere", taking into account the professional activities of future pilots. The practical significance lies in development of 1) an original program on each stage of which methods, forms, means are defined, as well as educational activities that develop deliberately components of the value-moral sphere; 2) a criteria and diagnostic tool including criteria, indicators, and levels and contributing to objective evaluation of value-moral sphere development as a whole.
Results. The results of the research are the following: 1) clarifying and supplementing the term “future pilots’ value-moral sphere” considered as a multi-component system of dialectically interdependent personal characteristics of future pilot officers that define the process of state value-moral ideas interiorisation into deeper attitudes and beliefs, personal ‘self-building’ based on traditions and historical knowledge about the exploits of Russian officers during the past and present wars and defining value-moral orientations which help choose a value-moral model of behavior under conditions of fulfillment of military duty, perception of himself as ‘I am a Russian officer’; 2) development and justification of a pedagogical model of the future pilots’ value-moral sphere development in the educational process of a military university presented as a set of purposeful, methodological, structural and informative, resulting and diagnostic blocks.
Conclusions. Increasing the effectiveness of the future pilots’ value-moral sphere development is carried out at the expense of a new pedagogical model implementation in the educational process. Its main idea lies in deeper integration of all educational resources within and out of the university involving veterans of real warfare through mentorship aimed at giving future pilots examples of personal value-moral choice when fulfilling the military duty.

THEORY AND METHODS OF TEACHING AND EDUCATION
Aim. The article aimed to present and analyze modern problems of selecting educational content in biology; show possible ways to solve them in the process of a biology teacher’s activities.
Methodology and methods. To achieve this goal, theoretical methods were used: analysis and synthesis of philosophical, psychological and pedagogical, including methodological literature; survey.
Results. Theoretical and empirical research has shown that in connection with the renewal of scientific and philosophical discourse in biology and the development of the science of biology, it is necessary to update educational content and search for didactic and methodological means of presenting biological knowledge of an ideological nature to students. The multifaceted nature of this problem and the complexity of its solution are reflected in the results of a survey of biology teachers, who showed understanding of the importance of taking into account modern scientific information and using a problem-based approach when selecting and designing lesson content. Filling in the shortage of professional methodological literature felt by teachers on this issue should contribute primarily to the achievement of subject and personal results of teaching biology.
Theoretical and/or practical significance. New information is presented about the methodological difficulties of biology teachers in the process of selecting educational content and the means of overcoming them (methodological techniques for organizing students’ work, aimed at understanding complex information of an ideological nature in biology, giving it a personal meaning). According to the authors, these teaching techniques can enable students to achieve certain positive educational outcomes. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the fact that its results prove the need to build a biology teaching process based on ideas about the selection of content, taking into account the level of development of modern scientific knowledge and the need for its value-semantic analysis by students; specify the directions for further research in the selection of educational content in biology. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of mass application in professional pedagogical work of methodological techniques for organizing information and semantic work of students with educational content, reflecting modern achievements in the science of biology.
Conclusions. The problems stated in the article require theoretical understanding and justification for the need to select content where the achievements of fundamental and high-tech branches of biology and the natural interest of students most successfully intersect. The proposed methodological techniques and cognitive tasks can be the basis for the development of information and semantic work of students, as well as for solving educational and vital problems.
Aim. To review Russian and foreign textbooks for foreign students in order to search for texts devoted to the work of A. A. Akhmatova; to present the sequence of work with a literary text in a lesson in Russian as a foreign language using the example of a poem by A. A. Akhmatova “Here we’re all drunkards and whores...” (1913).
Methodology and methods. Analysis of existing textbooks and methods of teaching reading fiction in classes on Russian as a foreign language, development of tasks and practical testing in different national groups and learning conditions (classroom, independent work of students, group and individual, online and offline).
Results. The article provides the materials successfully tested in foreign audiences (A2–B1) for studying the poem by A. A. Akhmatova “Here we’re all drunkards and whores...”, not previously presented in methodological and educational literature.
Theoretical and/or practical significance. The study is intended to complement the aspects of studying the heritage of the great Russian poetess that are not presented in methodological works. It is addressed to teachers of Russian as a foreign language.
Conclusions. Practical testing of the methodology in different learning conditions showed that with its help students are able to deeply and completely analyze an unadapted literary text that is difficult for an unprepared reader. The poetry and fate of A. A. Akhmatova arouse the interest of modern foreign readers and can become an important stage in the study of Russian culture, as well as the key to understanding several eras in the history of Russia.
Relevance. The article discusses the principles of creating an online course in Russian as a foreign language for the formation of the A1 level, the development of which is necessary for universities with preparatory faculties for foreign students, according to the recommendations of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation.
Aim. To describe the theoretical and methodological foundations of creating an online course lesson using the materials of the online course “Elementary.RU”.
Methodology. To solve the tasks, a number of methods and approaches were used. Approaches: cognitive (taking into account the educational strategies of representatives of generation Z when learning a foreign language in the process of developing and submitting assignments and exercises of the course); psycholinguistic (taking into account the psychological features of teaching speech activity in a foreign language to representatives of generation Z when developing an online course); systematic (representation of a single structure of an online course lesson); competency-based (description of work aimed at forming linguistic and communicative competence using an online course). Methods: the method of complex theoretical analysis of the phenomenon under study (analysis of publications about the presented phenomenon, description of the conceptual apparatus that underlies this study); modeling method (schematic representation of the structure of a typical online course lesson, its cyclicity); integrated (analysis of the effectiveness of including an online course in the educational process).
The scientific novelty and practical significance. The research present a comprehensive analysis of the lesson of the online Russian as a foreign language course and the description of its algorithm (level A1–A2). The results of the study contribute to the issue of the development and systematization of educational materials on Russian as a foreign language in a digital format. The described practical experience of creating an online course on this basis can be applied in the further development of digital resources for teaching Russian as a foreign language.
Results. To create an effective online course, it is necessary to follow the principles of communicative and competency-based approaches. Developers of the methodological scenario of the courses should take into account the content of the curriculum of the discipline Russian as a foreign language. An effective online course is considered to be aimed at the formation of all types of speech activity, built taking into account the communicative needs of students.
Conclusions. The effectiveness of the online course depends on a well-structured lesson structure and ensuring the cyclicity of each lesson module, that is, the possibility of returning to the previous part of the lesson.
Aim. In a meaningful way to characterize the specifics of the organization and, using the example of V.G. Shukhov's engineering and technical structures in Moscow, demonstrate the methodological features of conducting a research tour in mathematics for schoolchildren.
Methodology and methods. Based on the theoretical analysis and generalization of existing approaches to the interpretation and typologization of the excursion method, the ideas about the peculiarities of organizing research excursions in mathematics with schoolchildren in urban space are expanded. Using the example of engineering and technical structures of Moscow, built under the guidance of V.G. Shukhov, methodological recommendations for the organization of urban research excursions in mathematics are given.
Results. The limits of applicability of urban research excursions for schoolchildren have been further defined and expanded, based on the subject orientation of the mathematics teacher conducting the excursion. Using the example of V.G. Shukhov's engineering and technical structures in Moscow, the methodological features of organizing and conducting research excursions in lessons and extracurricular activities in mathematics are demonstrated.
Theoretical and/or practical significance. The engineering and technical structures of Moscow, built under the guidance of V.G. Shukhov, are summarized and didactically adapted for teenagers in the "Shukhov Engineering Notebook". Supplemented by the methodological features of the organization of urban research excursions in mathematics, the developed methodology can be applied in the modern system of basic and additional education of schoolchildren.
Conclusions. The urban research tour in mathematics is not only a form of an organized educational activity aimed at mastering the methodology of research search by students and clearly demonstrating the practical application of mathematical knowledge. Filling the content of excursions with specially prepared podcasts about the history of engineering and technical structures in Moscow expands the boundaries of the applicability of an urban research excursion, turning it into an important educational event that forms modern schoolchildren's respect for the Russian scientific and engineering heritage, achieved by including the emotional and sensual component of students "from familiar to unfamiliar" in the study of the previously known urban objects. The interaction of the teacher and students, carried out in the form of a dialogue, contributes to the formation of the sense of pride in modern teenagers for V.G. Shukhov and other outstanding representatives of the Russian scientific engineering school, combining mathematical knowledge, technical skills with a sense of devoted service to their Fatherland.
THEORY AND METHODS OF TEACHING AND EDUCATION
METHODOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY OF PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION
Aim. To describe and analyze the experience of applying of the technology of teaching listening to humanitarian students in the conditions of classroom bilingualism.
Methodology and methods. Person-oriented, communicative, activity and interdisciplinary approaches formed the methodological basis of the study. General scientific and special methods were used: observation, experiment, expert evaluation, open questionnaires.
Results. Teaching listening in the proposed format allowed to increase the level of listening comprehension in the experimental group. The number of students with medium (from 22% to 54.2%) and high (from 3.4% to 13.6%) level of auditory competence development significantly increased. The number of students with a low level of listening competence decreased more than twice, which is significantly higher than in the control group. Most participants of the experiment increased their motivation to learn English and developed the need to watch English-language videos regularly.
The scientific novelty and/or theoretical and/or practical significance. The study provides theoretical and methodological substantiation of pedagogical conditions for the realization of the proposed technology aimed at the formation of listening competence in the conditions of classroom bilingualism, as well as its successful approbation in practice.
Conclusions. The author comes to the conclusion that the proposed technology of teaching students of humanities allows to form an auditory competence, providing them not only a good education, career development, but also a successful life in modern information society. The application of this model in the educational process can also be recommended in the training of students of technical and natural science majors.
Aim. To develop and describe structural and functional models of the formation of conceptual thinking among university students using the categorical system of social upbringing.
Methodology. Theoretical methods (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and modeling methods (structural and functional) are used as research methods.
Theoretical and/or practical significance. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time structural and functional models of the formation of conceptual thinking in students using pedagogical categories and concepts have been developed. The theoretical significance is reflected in the generalization of ideas about conceptual thinking in modern psychological and pedagogical science. Practical significance lies in the fact that the developed structural and functional models of formation of conceptual thinking in students by means of categorical system of social upbringing are ready to be implemented in the practice of training students of Psychological and Pedagogical Education.
Research results. The study shows the connections between the categories of social upbringing and conceptual thinking in the system of their functioning. The developed structural and functional models of the formation of conceptual thinking in students using the categorical system of social upbringing are models of the desired state of the object and models of transformation. The identified and described techniques for working with categories and concepts enrich pedagogical practice, and their use allows for a more targeted formation of conceptual thinking among students. As a result of the study, it was possible to present and describe the structural and functional models of the formation of conceptual thinking among university students using the categorical system of social upbringing.
Conclusions. The problem of developing conceptual thinking as a professional one remains extremely relevant. In psychological and pedagogical science there is an idea of the formation of conceptual thinking as a long, complex and multidimensional process. Structural and functional models act as working tools that demonstrate the internal structure of the construction of the process of forming conceptual thinking in students on the basis and with the help of the formation of a mental image and the functional purpose of the object of study. In relation to the functional model, techniques for working with categories and concepts complement the cognitive-developmental stage, and in the structural model – a methodological component.
