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 is devoted to the problem of training students of a pedagogical university for their future profession. The purpose of the study is to find effective methodological techniques for working with students in the practice of conducting a cycle of educational events “Conversations about the Important Things”. The object of the study is the process of preparing future teachers to carry out educational activities in the conditions of a modern school. The subject of the study is the acquisition by students of the experience of conducting classes within the framework of the “Conversations about the Important Things” project. The article presents the results of experi- mental work with 3rd year students of the Philological Faculty. The article outlines the conceptual foundations of teaching the course to future teachers, highlights the main problems that arise in the practice of conducting classes. Students’ acquisition of experience in conducting educational and upbringing activities can contribute to more successful implementation of such classes within the framework of the upcoming pedagogical practice, in the long term - in future professional activities related to the training and education of schoolchildren. The materials presented in the article may be of interest to students and teachers of higher education institutions, representatives of methodological associations.

Annotation: In the context of the complicated international situation, the comprehensive and multifaceted support of com- patriots living abroad has become particularly important for the Russian Federation. The pro-Russian views are strongest among the patriotic activists of the Cossacks abroad. The article discusses the issues of spiritual, moral and patriotic education of the foreign diaspora of the Russian world. The article reveals the specifics of the forming of spiritual and moral values among Russians living abroad. The features of educational activities that allow us to form traditional spiritual and moral values and national Russian culture among members of the Russian Diaspora are considered. The main educational resources for the forming of spiritual and moral values of Cossacks abroad are identified and described. The historical and cultural features that contribute to the stability of the patriotic worldview of Cossacks abroad are highlighted. The theoretical significance of the conducted research consists in a comprehensive analysis of many factors that positively or negatively affect the main ideological orientations of pro-Russian citizens of the near and far abroad. The practical significance of the research results lies in enriching pedagogical practice with an understanding of the specifics of patriotic education of compatriots living abroad.

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.
