Annotation: The article analyzes the problems faced by students of generation Z in the forming of foreign language reading competence. Theoretical approaches to the problem of forming a culture of reading in a foreign language are summarized. As a way to involve students of generation Z in reading activities, a student-centered individual reading program in English is offered, aimed at forming a reading culture for 1st–2nd year students of the uni- versity. The three-stage educational model of critical thinking development technology (challenge – comprehen- sion – reflection) is used to organize students’ activities related to individual reading during the semester. The methodology of competence-based educational practices aimed at the forming of students’ autonomy through active and interactive methods is used to enhance the learning potential of the program. The results of the study confirm the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, which promotes the intellectual and emotional immer- sion of students in an independently selected authentic work of art and the forming of motivation to read in the process of active communication about what they have read.

Annotation: The article examines large language models in the context of automation of routine pedagogical tasks. A brief analysis of the tasks that arise during the work of a higher school teacher is carried out, and the most important problems that can be solved using artificial intelligence methods are highlighted. The concept of artificial intel- ligence is presented and described, which includes machine learning, deep learning and generative artificial intelligence as constituent elements. The evolution of large language models that belong to the field of generative artificial intelligence and are characterized by the ability to create text, images, code and audio is shown. The results of the transformation of large language models from the moment of their emergence to the appearance of the latest models are presented. The possibilities of using the Russian large GigaChat-type language model in the educational process are shown, ways of application are indicated and further plans are outlined. Attention is drawn to the limitations of the use of generative models in the educational process related to the manifestation of hallucinations of large language models and the thoroughness of the query.

Annotation: The article reveals the specifics of the socio-humanitarian expertise of future education in the context of the NBICS revolution (nano-, bio-, info-, cognitive and sociotechnologies) and the development of metatechnology of artificial intelligence. Social and humanitarian expertise of this type reveals the existential and eschatological dimensions of techno-innovations. The probabilistic nature of the results of social and humanitarian expertise is due to the fact that experts rely not on facts, but on archetypes, models, scenarios that allow identifying emerging trends and are the basis for decision-making in conditions of uncertainty, polyvariability, and nonlinearity of the future. The work compares the main scenarios of the future of education – techno-optimism and techno-pessimism. The importance of social and humanitarian expertise as a foresight of anthropological and educational risks generated by the autonomous development of artificial intelligence and its possible transformation into a subject of cognition is substantiated. The key risks are associated with the onset of the post-human era, threatening the existence of natural intelligence, and the destruction of education as an anthropological space.

Annotation: The article studies the actual socio-philosophical problem of rethinking traditional values in the context of rapidly changing modernity. A number of important traditional values, such as the priority of spiritual interests over material ones, common good over personal, patriarchal family and others, are rationally and critically examined. At the same time, their outdated semantic potential is revealed and a new conceptual understanding is proposed in the perspective of increasing degrees of personal and social freedom. The author’s approach is based on the acceptance of the general civilizational tendency of building harmonious relations between spiritual and material interests of man, as well as personal and common good. The article pays special attention to the modern synthetic understanding of the value of human dignity as a unity of social utility of a person and his moral and legal self-value. Thanks to the combination of pragmatic and moral-legal interests it is possible to achieve the fullness of being of a person and the whole society. The necessary practical task of the research is also to rethink the value of the family not as a patriarchal institution, but as a voluntary union of equal partners aimed at the joint achievement of a happy life. The final aspect of our study is to analyze the traditional concept of “volushka-volya” as negative freedom. The objective necessity of transition to positive freedom, namely to its highest manifestations in political, moral-religious and creative independence of the individual is shown. Practical realization of these renewed values will be an important condition for sustainable and successful development of the Russian society.

Annotation: The article is devoted to the study of the features of coping strategies and stress tolerance of HR company employees working in remote, hybrid and face-to-face work modes. An empirical study was conducted on the basis of a federal IT company. The data collection involved employees working in different modes of operation (remote, face-to-face and hybrid) and living in different cities in the Russian Federation and in other countries. The diagnosis was carried out remotely using three standardized diagnostic techniques: a self-assessment test of stress tolerance, Ways of Coping Questionary (methodology by R. Lazarus and S. Folkman), and Daily Stressors Questionnaire (methodology by M.D. Petrash and O.Y. Strizhitskaya). The data obtained were processed using methods of mathematical-statistical analysis of data, for the calculations was used the IBM SPSS Statistics 19.0 software: frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, comparative analysis (Kruskal – Wallis test), correlation analysis (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient). The identified features of coping strategies and stress toler- ance of IT company employees working in remote, hybrid and face-to-face work modes will not only clarify and expand scientific understanding of these phenomena, but also suggest effective measures to optimize the working conditions of specialists.
