Annotation: Factors affecting the adaptation of first-year students to new living conditions are scrutinized. Particular attention is paid to the educational component of the adaptation process. The necessity of developing an integral criterion characterizing the general educational level of the applicant is substantiated. It allows to predict the level of adaptation of the applicant to studying at the university. The integral rating criterion was obtained by the method of individual expert estimate on the example of Mathematics. The applicability of this criterion for predicting the success of the adaptation of students to the educational process in higher education is confirmed on the basis of analysis of the results obtained by 100 cadets of the Academy of the Federal Penal Service of Russia, during the entrance examinations, as well as in the learning process. Non-parametric correlations were used to find the relationships. This approach can be used to build similar integral criteria for other specialized academic disciplines that involve the passing of specialized Unified State Exams, as well as extra entrance examinations when entering a university.

Annotation: The article discusses issues related to one of the most urgent problems of modern pedagogy – improving the quality of education and possible approaches to its evaluation. The new Federal state educational standards of the third generation 3+ formulate the requirements for the quality of education: the structure of educational programs, the quality of the educational process, the quality of the results focused on the competence-based, activity-based approach to its evaluation.

Annotation: Terminology of electronic training in Russia is regulated by a number of normative documents of Rostekhregulirovaniya of 2006–2009 and the law on education in the Russian Federation. These normative documents enter and briefly define concepts: electronic training (ET), educational content, electronic educational resource (EER), electronic training material (ETM), remote educational technologies (RET) and others. However, the laconicism and formality of normative documents doesn’t give a complete and broad idea of features of the formulated concepts, their modern filling, forms and implementers. This article is devoted to the review, systematization and the substantial analysis of the diverse concepts and terms connected with electronic training. It is especially relevant in the conditions of mass application of information and communication technologies in educational process. Article reduces in uniform concepts from various normative documents, reveals their contents and features, shows interrelation of concepts and terms. Experience of application and the requirement to the systems of electronic training, their merits and demerits is considered. During creation of the electronic educational environment electronic educational resources of different types and categories of complexity are used. In article classification and the short characteristic of the service software of general purpose, electronic textbooks, software of control of level of knowledge of students, electronic exercise machines, software of mathematical and imitating modeling, software of virtual laboratories used in training, information retrieval help systems, the automated training systems, the expert and intellectual training systems is given.

Annotation: Considerable part of renewable sources of energy based on such natural natural resources as energy of sunlight and wind. At the choice of locations of stations of green power there is a need for information on spatial and temporary distribution of the expected power characteristics depending on a geographical arrangement of the station. Assessment of potential of solar and wind energy is made by measurements on network of meteorological stations on which regular observations are made. As the space which isn’t captured by network of meteorological stations in some regions reaches up to 1000 km, there is a need to interpolate or extrapolate the available data to the required geographical areas. In the article on the base of results of complex measurements of current of solar photo-electric batteries and speed of wind the analysis of correlation characteristics of the field of average daily values of solar illumination and speed of wind in comparison to data of the international data archive of PV-GIS from 2007 for 2016 is carried out. Variations on longitude and on width are considered. The obtained data can be used for spatial extrapolation of quantitative characteristics of sources of “green” energy, and for estimates of reliability of network from such separate sources.

Annotation: В представленной работе объектом исследования являются результаты последнего этапа исторического развития России, которые показывают, что попытка следовать по пути либерализации страны во всех ее компонентах обернулась определенными неудачами. Попытка интеграции с Западом привела объективно к потере самостоятельного курса. Тем самым был утрачен смысл существования России как самостоятельно цивилизации. Это привело к частичной деградации основных институтов общества. Лозунг свободы обернулся формированием общества потребления. Только в последнее десятилетие страна медленно приходит к осознанию себя как важнейшего субъекта истории и международных отношений, все глубже понимая свою посткоммунистическую сущность, свое место в современном мире. Предметом исследования является анализ основных различий и особенностей развития Российской цивилизации в течение нескольких столетий. Показаны основные сущностные компоненты, которые отличают ее от Западной цивилизации. В предмет исследования входит также анализ причин и факторов, которые в своей совокупности не дают оснований для утверждения о том, что если бы Россия стала частью Европы, то это стало бы успешной реализацией «либерального проекта», подготовленного пришедшей к власти политической элитой, в рамках постсоветского проекта развития страны. Опираясь на исторический анализ, цивилизационный подход и полученные выводы, которые вытекают из него в понимании истории страны и формировании ее культуры как особого типа цивилизации, автор делает вывод о необходимости серьезной трансформации современной системы образования, которая смогла бы отвечать на вызовы времени. Современная система образования должна стать своего рода духовным компасом, указывающим обществу вектор его исторического развития, а также институтом, в рамках которого стала бы формироваться современная национальная элита общества, способная решать задачи общественного развития и вести страну в направлении соответствующего вектора исторического развития.

Annotation: The article deals with the problem of reorganization in the sphere of education and the influence of the process discussed on the emergence of pedagogical conflicts. Much attention is paid to national programs as legal framework of the restructuring in education. The analysis helps to elicit the aspects of reorganizational changes relevant to the level of conflicts. Modern reform of education resulted in unification of educational institutions, management and curriculum change, the revision of wage system. It is proved that these modifications require adaptation efforts on the part of the participants of educational process and provoke pedagogical conflicts. The study reveals the specific features of conflicts in such dyad connections as “teacher-teacher”, “teacher-student”, “student-student”, “teacher-parents”, “teacher-manager”, “parents-manager”. The research shows that it is necessary to use social-psychological methods of conflict regulation.

Annotation: The main objective of the research is to consider corporate culture of an educational institution as means of conflict settling and prevention. The article analyzes key features of corporate culture which turn it into an efficient instrument of conflict settling and prevention. The author presents the main stages of conflict settling with the help of corporate culture recourses. The results of the research are discussed and proved. For an empiric research such techniques as “Strategy and tactics of behavior in a conflict situation” (K. Thomas) and “The analysis of corporate culture of the organization” (V.V. Adamovich) were used. The research shows that the type of corporate culture strongly influences the style of staff behavior in a disputed situation. It is also proved that such elements of corporate culture as management style and commonly shared values, norms and rules are of utmost importance for conflict settling and prevention in an educational institution.

Annotation: The article describes the main features of the social and labor conflict in the educational organization. Specific characteristics of the conflict on the example of school are defined.
