Annotation: It has been established that the future of higher education organizations is associated with the forming of edu- cational ecosystems. However, the scientific literature has not yet defined either the content of the concept of “educational ecosystem” or the criteria of an educational ecosystem. The purpose of this study is to identify and determine the criteria of educational ecosystems that are currently being formed on the basis of leading universities and global educational centers. To solve this problem, the study uses the method of studying scientific literature (descriptive method, apperception method), conducts a review of official websites, strategies and development programs of the world’s leading universities and educational centers presented on them, summarizes the trends in the development of higher education reflected in analytical reports of international organizations. Based on the results of the study, the criteria of the educational ecosystem were established, reflecting the key areas of activity of educational organizations, which, with the proper “superstructure” of the supporting infrastructure, allow achieving a synergistic effect from such a reorganization. The results obtained contribute to the development of the ecosystem approach in higher education due to a deeper understanding of the etymology of the concept of the educational ecosystem and a clearly defined outline.

Annotation: The article considers the development of a structural organizational and pedagogical model of a university complex for training future teachers in the system of social partnership “Pedagogical University – Preschool Educational Organization” (“PU-PEO”) based on the missions of universities, namely: “Education”, “Sci- ence” and “University and Society”. During of the study, a pedagogical examination was carried out, accord- ing to the results of which the conclusion was made that the system-forming factor of the model is the Moscow International University Rating “The Three University Missions”. The rating is based on three main criteria (missions): education, science, university and society. The use of these criteria ensures the creation of a holistic educational process aimed at socializing the individual and forming the qualities of a highly qualified specialist. The method of group expert assessment was chosen as the leading tool in the study, which makes it possible to algorithmize the procedures for developing the structure and content of the model of the university complex for future teachers training. The scientific novelty of the research results lies in the creation of a model for training future teachers in the social partnership system “PU-PEO”, which at the structural level includes the functions of assessing the quality of the educational process in the context of implementing the university rating “Three missions of the university”, adopted in pedagogical qualimetry. The practical significance of the research results lies in the possibility of using them to improve educational programs and increase the effectiveness of interaction with subjects of social partnership.

Annotation: The article is devoted to the issues of effective integration of elective social and humanitarian courses into individual educational trajectories of engineering students. The analysis of the practice of implementing a variable model of assimilation of sociological and psychological knowledge by students of technical faculties in connection with the transition of universities to individual educational trajectories is carried out. Various interactive teaching methods are described: brainstorming, emotional intelligence training, case studies, and project assignments. The article shows the specifics of the courses offered, their importance for the development of “soft skills” of an engineer, the features and difficulties of organizing training. A study of the attitude of engineering students to the introduction of alternative non-core courses into the educational process is presented, their advantages and disadvantages are highlighted. It has been revealed that elective courses in psychology and sociology increase students’ personal inter- est and motivation to acquire knowledge that is not directly related to their specialty, but is necessary for successful implementation in the labor market. Based on the results obtained, psychological and pedagogical justifications for the choice of interactive teaching methods as priority tools for improving the effectiveness of new educational strategies are presented. The novelty of the research results lies in the development of theoretical and methodologi- cal provisions on the creation of pedagogical and organizational conditions for the effective integration of elective social and humanitarian courses into the individual educational trajectories of engineering students.

Annotation: The article examines the issues of teaching history in the context of digitalization of education. The relevance of the use of multimedia technologies in the educational process is substantiated, especially in the context of a decrease in students’ interest in the humanities and the need to adapt methods to the digital generation. The application of a specific multimedia technology moodboard in historical education is considered. Examples of using moodboard technology for various historical topics are offered, application options and their expediency are analyzed. The given examples of thematic moodboards demonstrate a variety of approaches to visualization of educational material, including working with maps, portraits of historical figures, documents, video clips and audio materials. A pedagogical experiment is presented as an empirical method, during which the level of material assimilation is compared with the traditional approach and using moodboard technology. Using the example of studying topics on the history of the Great Patriotic War, there is an increase in the level of material assimilation, the development of students’ creative thinking, an improvement in the visual perception of historical facts and events, and the involvement of students in the educational process. The importance of observing the principles of consistency and structurality when using this technology is noted. The results obtained can be taken into account when teaching history using moodboard technology in the system of higher and secondary vocational education.

Annotation: The article describes an approach to software projecting that complements the canonical ICONIX process with the stages of creating a database schema, developing user interface layouts, dialog box maps, and describing file formats and messages. The changes to the process are proposed taking into account the experience gained during the implementation of a previously created prototype modeling environment that provides instrumental support for the ICONIX process. The main criteria for selecting the models introduced into the process were simplicity of construction and availability of information about their application in industrial development. The use of the proposed process is aimed at improving the quality of the developed specification of software requirements and ensuring its closer connection with the models created during the projecting. The possibility of automating the search for a number of projecting errors is shown. Methods of verification of projecting solutions have been selected from open sources, applicable to models created within the framework of the proposed process, the im- plementation of which is possible without human intervention. A number of new methods for verifying the mutual correspondence of models created by the programmer, specific to the new projecting process, are proposed, and the possibility of automating them is shown. Due to creating and implementing tools in the educational process that support the proposed approach, the teacher workload can be reduced and the quality of students’ academic work improved.

Annotation: Ethnocultural education focused on socialization and development of the individual as a subject of their ethnic group and as a citizen of a multinational Russian state is considered in the context of fututre officers’ professional training for life activity in a context of multicultural environment. The article analyzes the current state of the theory and practice of ethnocultural education in a military university, identifies priority tasks of ethnocultural education and possible ways to implement the concept of ethnocultural education in a military university. The implementation of ethnocultural education in a military university involves a qualitative change in the academic disciplines content – mainly humanitarian and social orientation: through the integration of various fields of knowledge, the use of the moral potential of academic disciplines, the transformation of educational material into a system of problematic conflict issues and tasks, the transition from a traditional practical lesson to a lively creative discussion of the topic, the vision of the problems inherent in it. The use of interactive methods and techniques of educational activity is largely effective in mastering ethnocultural information.

Annotation: The purpose of this study is to create a system of meaningfully different levels of development of digital personality traits in the modern world. The article presents the levels of digital personality traits that are subject to formation and development by means of the pedagogical process. The levels are differentiated and their substantive criteria are substantiated along with the signs corresponding to the levels as specific manifestations. It is shown that each level corresponds to a certain formed cultural and didactic unit that ensures effective human activity in the digital world. A system of criteria for the development of digital information culture and their main features in relation to the disclosed levels is presented in the form of a summary table. It is concluded that information culture at this stage acquires not only systemic, but also conceptual features of an individual’s information worldview, representing his stable life position and identity. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that the criteria for assessing these levels and the main signs of their manifestation are revealed in a meaningful context. As a result, the author concludes that a qualitative assessment has not only diagnostic, but also theoretical benefits, since it allows us to correlate the difference between the “final” qualities that are the subject of professional and pedagogical discourse.

Annotation: In order to determine the relevance of the study, the following factors were identified: global digitalization and digital transformation of education, the changing role of teachers in the digital educational environment, the need to improve the quality and effectiveness of education, the need to develop digital literacy of students, adaptation to rapidly changing technologies. In this regard, it becomes clear that it is no longer enough just to possess digital tools, it is necessary to have certain competencies that contribute to the effective integration of digital technologies into the educational process, taking into account didactic principles. The author substanti- ates the importance of the forming of the digital didactic culture of teachers as a synthesis of didactic culture and digital culture. To understand the concept of “digital didactic culture”, which is new to pedagogical science, 44 publications on the problems of the forming of didactic culture among teachers were analyzed, which made it possible to identify the main aspects of studying this concept, and the key characteristics of the concept of “digital culture” were identified. A comparative analysis of the three terms “digital didactic culture”, “didactic culture” and “digital culture” allowed us to create a methodological basis for the forming of digital didactic culture, which is based on scientific and theoretical approaches, takes into account the basic principles of clas- sical didactics and defines the conditions for the successful forming of digital didactic culture among teachers.

Annotation: The article explores the phenomenon of information certainty and uncertainty in the information field. The concept of the information field is being expanded by including the uncertainty factor in it. Certainty and uncertainty are considered as a condition, as a factor, as an attitude. Descriptive and procedural tasks of the information field are highlighted, their characteristics in relation to certainty and uncertainty are given. The main factors that increase the degree of uncertainty associated with the measurement and transformation of connections and relationships of objects and their parts displayed in the information field are highlighted. The transition from point to areal models, which can be used to analyze spatially distributed objects typical in geoinformatics and situational modeling, is considered. Formal models are proposed that demonstrate how uncertainty can be repre- sented and interpreted. Models of certainty and uncertainty are demonstrated using areal examples. Uncertainty is interpreted not only as an epistemological phenomenon, but also as a state formalized within computational models. This makes it possible to apply the research results in areas such as cognitive modeling, unmanned control, knowledge extraction, and others.

Annotation: The article describes an approach to solving the problem of detecting current pulses of a surface barrier discharge at atmospheric pressure under conditions of large volumes of data obtained at a high sampling rate. A brief overview of the collected dataset is presented, an analysis of a typical detection algorithm is carried out, and its shortcomings are identified. A new two-step approach to data processing is proposed: classification of the time series for data pre- processing and detection of the start and end of pulses using a deep learning regression model. The article describes relevant neural network architectures and provides a comparison of the effectiveness of the considered approaches in solving time series classification tasks. The use of machine learning makes it possible to reduce detection errors. This method shows better results than existing approaches due to improved accuracy and noise resistance. The theoretical and practical results of the study are aimed at the development of technical diagnostics and machine learning methods.

Annotation: The article examines large language models in the context of automation of routine pedagogical tasks. A brief analysis of the tasks that arise during the work of a higher school teacher is carried out, and the most important problems that can be solved using artificial intelligence methods are highlighted. The concept of artificial intel- ligence is presented and described, which includes machine learning, deep learning and generative artificial intelligence as constituent elements. The evolution of large language models that belong to the field of generative artificial intelligence and are characterized by the ability to create text, images, code and audio is shown. The results of the transformation of large language models from the moment of their emergence to the appearance of the latest models are presented. The possibilities of using the Russian large GigaChat-type language model in the educational process are shown, ways of application are indicated and further plans are outlined. Attention is drawn to the limitations of the use of generative models in the educational process related to the manifestation of hallucinations of large language models and the thoroughness of the query.

Annotation: The article is devoted to the study of the features of coping strategies and stress tolerance of HR company employees working in remote, hybrid and face-to-face work modes. An empirical study was conducted on the basis of a federal IT company. The data collection involved employees working in different modes of operation (remote, face-to-face and hybrid) and living in different cities in the Russian Federation and in other countries. The diagnosis was carried out remotely using three standardized diagnostic techniques: a self-assessment test of stress tolerance, Ways of Coping Questionary (methodology by R. Lazarus and S. Folkman), and Daily Stressors Questionnaire (methodology by M.D. Petrash and O.Y. Strizhitskaya). The data obtained were processed using methods of mathematical-statistical analysis of data, for the calculations was used the IBM SPSS Statistics 19.0 software: frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, comparative analysis (Kruskal – Wallis test), correlation analysis (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient). The identified features of coping strategies and stress toler- ance of IT company employees working in remote, hybrid and face-to-face work modes will not only clarify and expand scientific understanding of these phenomena, but also suggest effective measures to optimize the working conditions of specialists.
