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 is devoted to an interdisciplinary topic: the impact of digitalization on students’ cognitive abilities, which is considered through the prism of the phenomenon of “digital dementia”. The relevance of the work is due to a fairly high degree of public concern about the negative consequences of the digitalization of society, as well as a relatively low degree of study of the problem in scientific and educational literature. The objectives of the study were to study and analyze the causes of dependence on the use of digital resources in the learning process, as well as to develop approaches to the effective and reasonable use of technological advances for learning a foreign language at a university. In the course of the study, an educational experiment was conducted using an anonymous questionnaire from students of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, as well as during face- to-face seminars in English. To achieve the goals and objectives of the article, a range of theoretical and empirical methods was used: student survey, observation, as well as generalization and analysis of the empirical data obtained.

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: The article is devoted to the relevant problem of socio-cultural and psychological adaptation of foreign students entering Russian universities. The importance of adaptation is determined by its stable correlation with further education, its effectiveness. Based on the included observation and generalization of their own pedagogical experience, the authors of the article attempted to analyze the features of the adaptation process, which is an integral component of academic migration, and also described the tools developed for its mitigation. The results of the survey among foreign students based on the author’s questionnaire made it possible to establish the rela- tionship between the level of adaptation and the level of proficiency in the English and Russian languages. The authors of the article come to the conclusion about the demand for English language and the need to popular- ize its usage in the academic environment in the context of intensification of academic mobility processes. The quest game in English developed and tested by the authors is an effective tool for primary integration into a new cultural environment. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the proposed tools for adaptation of foreign students in various educational institutions.

Annotation: The article presents the key aspects of professional education that meet modern challenges. The evolution of the concept of “professional education” from an applied understanding in the middle of the 20th century to modern compe-tence-oriented approaches is demonstrated. It is noted that professional education goes beyond the process of forming narrow-profile knowledge and competencies and affects the moral, cultural and civic components of a personality, ensuring its adaptation to a socio-cultural and professional environment. The professional ed-ucation of a future engineering teacher is considered as an integrative process combining engineering and pedagogical competencies. The structure of the com-ponents of professional upbringing has been developed, which are linked into a single system, which allows them to be considered as complementary qualities of a professionally educated person. The results of the research can be applied in the development of educational programs for teacher training in engineering and technical universities, in the sys-tem of advanced training and retraining. The developed structure of the compo-nents of professional upbringing can serve as a basis for designing educational work programs, as well as for creating diagnostic tools for assessing the formation of professionally significant qualities in students.
