Annotation: The article analyzes the ambiguities in the foundations of modern logic due to the fact that the relations of set theory are used to substantiate the correct modes of categorical syllogism and the interpretation of predicate calculus, while set theory itself is defined in the axiomatic approach as a theory formed on the basis of axioms and rules for deducing predicate calculus by adding illogical (proper) axioms. It is proposed to apply elementary laws of the algebra of sets, which can be justified without axioms, based on the analysis of polysyllogistics-type reasoning. The analysis of the syllogism modes recommended for use is performed using simple and understandable properties of the relation of inclusion of sets. This analysis shows that the rules of syllogistics set forth in logic textbooks contain two types of logical errors: 1) some syllogism modes, which are considered correct in many textbooks, contradict some acceptable versions of their interpretation; 2) there are correct arguments with two premises, which in some textbooks are evaluated as incorrect modes. It follows from this that the cause of errors in logic textbooks are incorrectness in the justification of logic.

Annotation: The article describes the phenomenon of excessive information consumption, which is increasingly mentioned both in corporeal and social discourse. On the background of evident “digital saturation”, a hypothesis of probable decreasing interest in the internet as daily information space in the nearest future is proposed. In order to justify this hypothesis, the reasons for internet gaining popularity are analyzed beyond evident technological context. As a result, it was stated that there is an overdue internet crisis coming from technological forms of information exchange getting a huge handicap of digital information content quality. The research draws parallels with television as the main predigital information space that gained and lost its popularity in the previous century for similar reasons. It is concluded that reducing the mass consumption of digital information and reducing the popularity of digital resources can have such positive effects as improving their quality and rationalizing the information behavior of users.

Annotation: The article studies foreign and domestic experience in the creation of scientific and educational exploratoriums, laboratories, centers, museum spaces and complexes designed for the study of natural sciences. The necessity of including innovative scientific exploratoriums in the educational environment for the preparation of students of secondary vocational education is proved. It is concluded that there is a growing interest in the use of interactive formats in the educational process, implemented by businesses in the exploratorium museums created by them. On the basis of an analysis of the exploratorium museums operating in the country, which popularize scientific knowledge and develop the deductive abilities of students, it is proposed to create such multimedia spaces for the study of humanitarian disciplines. On the example of the literary and diplomatic exploratorium project implemented by the A.S. Griboyedov Cultural Heritage Foundation, the author shares the experience of a three-module program for the development of creative literary talents, provides recommendations for the phased implementation of such projects. The study analyzes the constraining factors that have a negative impact on the quality of the provision of additional educational services in the system of innovative research spaces with teaching functions.

Annotation: The article is devoted to the development of emotional intelligence of students as an important component of vocational education. Emotional stability, self-regulation, the ability to understand others, and empathy become important not only for personal growth, building interpersonal relationships, but also for solving professional tasks and professional self-development. An empirical study was conducted based on a survey of students enrolled in secondary vocational education programs from various educational organizations and groups. N. Hall’s methodology (Hall Emotional Intel- ligence Test) is used as a diagnostic tool for determining the level of emotional intelligence. The method of comparative analysis of the obtained empirical data was also used. The assessment of students’ emotional intelligence was carried out according to five components of EQ: emotional awareness; management of their emotions; self-motivation; empa- thy; recognition of other people’s emotions. According to the results of the study, factors affecting both the overall level of emotional intelligence and the development of its individual components in different groups of students have been identified. The results obtained can be used in the development of educational technologies, pedagogical methods and techniques for the development of emotional intelligence of students of secondary and higher professional education.

Annotation: The article emphasizes the importance of specialized training for IT-profile students in the context of digital transformation, considering their future role in technology development for the digital economy. Analysis of current research and labor market requirements in the IT industry leads to the conclusion that identifying key pedagogical conditions is necessary to foster the forming of professional interest, which serves as a strong motivational factor, stimulating the learning process and shaping educational and career trajectories. Special attention is given to defining the concept of “pedagogical conditions for the forming of professional interest among future IT specialists.” A complex of pedagogical conditions is presented, designed with consideration for the cognitive and professional activities of IT-profile students. The need for practical-oriented improvement of the content of specialized disciplines, organizing project-based independent work for future IT specialists, and developing assignments based on immersive technologies is highlighted. The article presents empirical data that prove the positive influence of the proposed conditions on the development of each component of the professional interest of future IT specialists, which will enhance their training in accordance with the labor market requirements.
