Annotation: The article presents the results of a theoretical review and an empirical study of students’ ambition and desire for power. These phenomena are traditionally considered in personality psychology and social psychology. However, their operationalization and empirical verification are limited and fragmented. The purpose of the study was to identify differences in the expression of power orientation among students with different self-esteem of ambition. The empirical base of the study included 102 students from three universities (aged 18–23). The method “Self- assessment of ambition” (O.V. Barsukova) and test of social and psychological attitudes of the individual in the motivational-need sphere (O.F. Potemkina) were used. The results showed that a majority of students (62.75 %) described themselves as ambitious. The analysis revealed that power motivation is significantly higher among ambitious students compared to their non-ambitious peers, although in both groups it remains within the low range. The novelty of this research lies in correlating self-assessed ambition with the level of power motivation, which provides a clearer understanding of the structure of motivational sphere in young adults at the student age. The research results can be used in practical psychology when developing programs for psychological support of students, and in personnel and management practices.

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 is devoted to researching the potential of generative artificial intelligence models in teaching cal- culus to students in IT degree programs. The relevance of the work is driven by the need to automate teachers’ routine tasks, personalize learning, and reduce cognitive load while maintaining the quality of education. The article outlines a methodology for applying generative models to teaching calculus, which ensures a balance between automation and the development of students’ analytical thinking. A systematization of the areas for us- ing generative artificial intelligence in teaching calculus is provided. A specific case study on the application of generative models in calculus education is considered; a system of prompts was developed and tested in teach- ing practice. An empirical study employing a survey was conducted, involving 69 first-year students majoring in “Fundamental Informatics”. The results showed that the student experience of using generative networks in studying calculus is represented by the following activities: solving problems with step-by-step explanations (67 %), checking their own solutions (62 %), preparing for exams and tests (52 %), explaining theoretical ma- terial (57 %), and generating examples and problems for practice (34 %). Both advantages and challenges of using generative models in education are noted. It is concluded that generative models are advisable for use not only as an auxiliary tool for students but also as a resource for teachers. The results obtained can be used in developing educational technologies for mathematical disciplines and methodological approaches for the correct application of artificial intelligence in learning.

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.
