Annotation: The individualization of learning has led to the need to take into account and apply cognitive factors in education. This article examines novel forms and methods for implementing the technological functions of cognitive learning within a digital information-educational environment. A new characteristic of learning, called “engagement”, is considered, which is associated with the need to use cognitive methods. The role of cognitive technologies in adaptive learning is revealed. It is noted that cognitive technologies are becoming more important in blended learning. The difference in the realization of cognitive functions in an electronic and natural educational environ- ment is methodologically explained. A concept of cognitive educational communicativistics is proposed, which allows for a systematic view of cognitive technologies not only as a tool for the digitalization of education but also for fostering a new pedagogical mindset. The basic principles of creating a new interdisciplinary field link- ing cognitive processes and communication in the educational environment are considered. The prerequisites for the training of future teachers who are ready for the introduction and application of cognitive technologies are highlighted and substantiated. The concept of communicativistics opens up opportunities for a systematic understanding of the role of cognitive technologies in modern education and can serve as a methodological basis for further research.

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 describes the systemic problems of forming the HR brand of higher education institutions in the context of current trends in the labor market and educational services. Attention is focused on the key compo- nents of the HR brand of higher education institutions. The features of competitive selection for the position of a scientific and pedagogical worker in a higher educational institution are highlighted, and a way is proposed to increase the effectiveness of this procedure for the participants of the competition. Experimental studies have been conducted to evaluate students’ ideas about the working conditions of the teaching staff and their preferences as future specialists in the field of education on the basis of the Branch of the private educational institution of higher education “Moscow Witte University” in Ryazan. Based on the results of the survey, the main directions for attracting young scientists and specialists to scientific and pedagogical activities at the university have been identified. The analysis of the causes of professional burnout of scientific and pedagogical staff of universities as one of the factors influencing the HR brand forming for the university is carried out. An approach to the differentiation of the content of teachers’ work is considered, which contributes to improving the effectiveness of their activities. The practical significance of this research is aimed at improving the HR brand of higher edu- cation institutions, which will contribute to creating a positive image of them, attracting graduates to work at universities, and increasing competitiveness in the field of educational services.

Annotation: The article explores the problem of digital behavior among students and young people. Attention is paid to the components of digital behavior, its differences from behavior in the real world are considered, and the impact of digital behavior on real processes and relationships is shown. The phenomenon of digital culture is studied, and the dependence of digital behavior on the level of digital culture is traced. The content of the concept of ‘digital addiction’ is described, its negative characteristics affecting the development of cognitive abilities and the choice of behavioral strategies – real and virtual – are revealed. The positive and negative consequences of digital behavior stipulated by the simultaneous existence of an individual in the real and virtual world are analyzed. The role of cyber illusions on the process of forming of digital addiction and digital behavior is shown, the risks of extrapolation of virtual entities into the natural environment are traced, leading to profound transformations of consciousness and social actions of young people. It is noted that behavior and communication in the space of the Internet and social networks are characterized by their inconsistency and unpredictability, which affects the social and psycho-emotional states and moral attitudes of individuals.

Annotation: The article is devoted to the problem of development of economic culture of students. The subject of the study is the pedagogical conditions for the development of economic culture of students of a professional educational organization. Three interrelated approaches are used – systemic, competence and activity-based during the theo- retical and methodological analysis of the process of development of economic culture of students. This is due to the semantics of the basic term “economic culture”, considered in the article as a set of elements: economic knowledge, practical skills and abilities; moral and economic orientation of the individual; ways of organizing activities; norms regulating human behavior in society. Pedagogical observations of the authors show that in pro- fessional educational organizations, the economic culture of students is not developing effectively enough, lagging behind modern socio-economic realities. The resolution of this contradiction is possible through the creation of the necessary pedagogical conditions in the educational organization that ensure effective control of this process. The scientific and practical significance of the research lies in the systematization of pedagogical conditions for the effective development of economic culture, including a set of pedagogical measures structured by the authors into three groups: informative, organizational, methodological and socio-personal. The proposed system of peda- gogical conditions will contribute to efficiency in improving the level of economic culture of future specialists.
