Authors: Lyubetsky Nikolay , Bendersky Nikita , Verina Tatyana , Demyanova Lyudmila , Arkhipova Darya
Published: June 2021

Education is one of the industries significantly affected by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) pandemic. Whole countries and cities were isolated, public and private institutions ceased their activities, and the country's higher educational institutions were forced to stop full-time education and switch to distance learning. Thus, the purpose of this study was to compare the indicators of the mental state (depression, anxiety) of students during full-time and distance learning. The first study was carried out by us during the full-time study period (February 10-17, 2020, sample size n = 154), and the second study was conducted during the distance learning period (October 19-26, 2020, sample size n = 154). The study evaluated such indicators as satisfaction with academic performance, the severity of depressive symptoms and anxiety. The results obtained indicate that the prevalence of depressive symptoms and anxiety among students was significantly higher during the distance learning period compared to similar indicators obtained during the full-time study period. The results of this study indicate that a sudden shift from one learning regime to another was a causative factor in stressful stress, which led to a high prevalence of depressive symptoms and anxiety among undergraduate students.
The Dark Triad of personality in psychology students and eco-friendly behavior
Authors: Budanova Inna
Published: June 2021

Machiavellianism, narcissism, and non-clinical psychopathy are part of the dark triad and have recently been studied by scientists around the world. Psychologists, as representatives of helping professions, must have a pro-social personality orientation. It is known that the manifestation of individual personality traits occurs maximally in adolescence and early adulthood. Therefore, it is important to assess how the formation of not only professional, but also personal qualities of psychology students takes place. An empirical study examined the manifestation of the dark triad personality traits in psychology students enrolled in different courses of study. It was found that first-year students have a lower level of Machiavellianism than third-year students. Also, statistically significant differences were found in the manifestations of Machiavellianism in men and women. In the group of men, Machiavellianism manifested itself at a higher level than among women. The higher level of Machiavellianism among third-year students of psychology in comparison with first-year students probably reflects their mastery in the learning process of both theoretical and practical foundations of interaction, interpersonal communication, as well as the formation of practical communication skills.
Sign-symbolic system in the era of digital change
Authors: Koltunova Elena , Vlasova Galina , Sagaidachnaya Elisaveta
Published: June 2021

The article presents the analysis and generalizations, scientific justifications and views of scientists on the sign-symbolic system. Under this system, the "symbol" category and the "sign" category are separated. The sign is defined as a material definition, and the symbol is a treasure trove of meanings, since it has a unique ability not only to accumulate the age-old values of our predecessors, but also to form new semantic constructs through the disclosure of the contexts of ancient civilizations. This emphasizes the complementarity of the symbol and the sign, the interpenetration and ambiguity of their transition. Symbol possesses the power that can combine the perception of the world with the perception of the person him\herself when understanding the meanings. The symbol is firmly embedded in the human consciousness and is the cultural and spiritual heritage of humanity. Its origin and stages of formation are inextricably linked and are considered in the context of a long evolutionary process with cultural changes in social life. A review of various theoretical concepts in the psychological and legal sciences on the problem of symbolism and symbolization allows us to reach a deeper, integrated level of its development and to understand the mechanisms and specific features of development.
Influence of interpersonal relationships on acquaintance with digital technologies
Authors: Selezneva Yulya , Pakhomova Victoria
Published: June 2021

The article analyzes features of a modern family and shows the role of parent-child relations in the formation of the "I" image of a younger pupil; relationship between the peculiarities of parent-child relations and the degree of exposure of primary school children to the computer game reality is revealed. The thesis is substantiated that a certain type of upbringing, peculiarities of interaction with a child in a family provoke an excessive enthusiasm for computer games in children of primary school age, causing destructive changes in the construction of the "I" image of a younger pupil. The image of the "I" of active users of computer games is characterized by the indefiniteness of descriptions of the physical "I", weak reflection of their own emotional experiences and bodily sensations, unrealistic (overestimated) level claims, inadequate self-esteem. Child-parent relations in families where active and inactive users of computer games are brought up differ in the types of parental attitudes: acceptance, authoritarian hypersocialization, infantilization and symbiosis.

Authors: Cherkasova Lyubov
Published: June 2021

The paradigm of intercultural communication has changed its vector orientation in a period of digital space expansion. Previously existing behavioral patterns, which included basic components, have led to the emergence of new behavioral patterns through the development of high-tech production, the media industry and media space. The functional approach made it possible to identify the strengths and weaknesses of digitization, the specifics of communication space in the spheres of science, technology and education and to predict possible changes in intercultural communication on the basis of the developing digital platform. The standardization and unification of digital space, which have penetrated all spheres of human activity, have revealed opportunities for improving digital content and its knowledge component. The study reflects the features of implementation and functioning of high-tech digital equipment in the education system, which is a basic component for the formation of the man of a new generation, capable of living in digital space, managing this space, finding creative solutions and creating opportunities for further development of society. Digitization changes social consciousness completely, intensifies the gap between the older and the younger generation, but this process is inevitable, as it opens up prospects for the development of the world community and forms conditions for its unification and improvement.

Authors: Kovaleva Anastasiya , Volkonskaya Olga
Published: June 2021

Recently, it has been customary in Russian society to talk about the crisis of all levels of education. Undoubtedly, one can argue for a long time about the crisis in such spheres of public life as the economy and politics, but perhaps the only comprehensive problem that affects the entire society as a whole is the crisis of education, which arose due to quite understandable reasons.

The development of any society, the its transformation and individual spheres of society inevitably make it necessary to form new social values, guidelines, incentives and motivations to achieve new outlined or already clearly formulated goals. Inextricably linked with this process, the formation of worldview attitudes has developed since childhood, and especially in adolescence, at that period of time when the first attempts are made to make independent decisions, to bear responsibility for them, to encounter restrictions and prohibitions. During this period, when goal-setting is formed in the mind of a young person, attitudes and priorities are formed, not just an important, but sometimes a decisive role begins to play the ability to critically analyze incoming information, which will form the basis of these processes.

Published: June 2021

The school environment is a complex microcosm where the younger generation learns to adapt to live in society. The problem of school bullying is in the highlight. The purpose of the research is to study the correlations between “bullying structures” of the teenagers, living in their own families and in social rehabilitation centers for minors, and their choice of coping strategies. The hypothesis of the research assumes that teenagers will prefer different coping strategies depending on their place in the bullying structure and the place of living. The sample consisted of 62 teenagers aged 12-13 years old. On the grounds of the theoretical research, we distinguished psychological and social prerequisites of the phenomenon of school bullying. We and state that aggression and anxiety displaying by teenagers in a group cooperation are predictors of a bullying situation. The psychological testing allowed us to reveal bullying structures, components of aggressive behavior and school anxiety, and preferable coping strategies of adolescents. Using the Spearman’s rank correlation analysis enabled us to prove the hypothesis and to describe the preferable coping strategies of such bulling structures as “Bully”, “Bully’s assistant”, “Defender”, “Victim” and “Bystander” depending on the place of living of teenagers. The research has got a novelty and practical importance and the results are useful for work with teenagers in comprehensive schools and in social rehabilitation centers for minors.

Authors: Fomina Annа , Ganusha Kristina
Published: June 2021

This study is devoted to identifying a solution algorithm for standard fractions as one of the tasks that allow investigating the level of human adaptability to the cognitive load. The influential factor for a successful solution was the number of stages, and for an unsuccessful one - their duration. It was revealed that the solution success/failure correlated with the spectral power values and ratio in the theta- and alpha-diapasons of the EEG. The successful solution is accompanied by the maintenance of a stable level of theta-diapason and desynchronization in the alpha-diapason. The unsuccessful solution is characterized by an increase in the theta-diapason power, its shift to the frontal zones, and a lack of alpha-desynchronization.

Authors: Likhushina Marina , Radchenko Galina
Published: June 2021

One of the main tasks of the modern education system is not just to transfer to students as much knowledge as possible, but rather the ability to extract it, the ability to navigate the flow of up-to-date information. The quality and reliability of the future specialist’s knowledge, his ability to solve complex issues independently, and the success of his future professional activities depend on the organization of pedagogical management in the educational activities of students. The virtual educational environment is understood as an arbitrarily constructed structure of the information environment, consisting of a set of autonomous subjects which connections are nonlinear and probabilistic. The virtual educational environment implements students’ life strategies and values in digital social interaction. The purpose of the research is to determine the features of using the pedagogical technology of creating a portfolio in the electronic form as a tool of pedagogical management in the virtual information and educational environment of the University. The objectives of the research are to analyze the components of the electronic portfolio of students and compare them with the stages of implementation of the pedagogical technology for creating a students’ portfolio. The solution of the research tasks is based on the criterion of improving the professional literacy of the university students and evaluating their achievements using e-portfolio technology.

Problems of competence-based learning in a digital environment
Authors: Efremova Nadezhda
Published: June 2021

In the system of higher education the main results of mastering the basic educational programs are the competences of students and graduates. However, in the pedagogical environment, despite the widespread use of the term, there is still no deep understanding of the features of such results and ways to achieve them. Therefore, there is often no clear distinction between cognitive outcomes (knowledge, skills, and abilities) and competence outcomes. There are difficulties in taking into account both conditions and principles of competence formation and specifics of control and assessment process organization to reliably identify the levels of students’ competence formation. The article gives a brief overview of the existing concepts of competences, their specificity, conditions of their formation and assessment. It is shown that competences reflect students’ abilities to act productively in a problem situation, using knowledge, abilities, and skills to achieve the target result. The intensive development of digital technologies creates additional opportunities and problems not only for distance learning, but also for creating new conditions for assessing learning achievements, including competences, in the virtual environment of digital space. The importance of developing a methodology for competency-based learning, including the use of digital capabilities, is emphasized. It is noted that, despite the many important and necessary tools of the digital space, there are also negative aspects of their use, which should be taken into account in the construction of educational content.

Published: June 2021

The new era creates new opportunities and poses a number of challenges for education to adapt to the emerging prospects of digital transformation of educational activities. The article provides a brief analysis of domestic and foreign works on the problems of digitalization in education. It is shown that, along with the benefits offered by the digital space, there are many problems of its use in educational activities. The solution of these problems is primarily associated with the training of teachers to use new opportunities for the organization and implementation of distance learning forms, the development of their digital competencies. At the same time, it has been shown that in both foreign and domestic universities, students in their majority prefer contact forms of classes and want a live dialogue with teachers, despite their rather high digital literacy. Therefore, the emerging digital didactics is very important to determine the ratio of traditional and distance learning will be able to provide a comfortable learning environment and a high level of training of future specialists. These and other questions can be answered by digital didactics, which has not yet been developed by scientists and educational practitioners.

Published: June 2021

The trends in the modern educational process related to digitalization, the spread of information and communication technologies, the translation of information into the language of computer programming, the use of graphic visualization techniques, computer graphics are considered. There is a tendency to increase the methodological developments prepared by the pedagogical community, dedicated to techniques, optimization of the translation of a large amount of information. The formation of an open digital educational environment is characterized as a factor of external management of the formation of learning youth. It is emphasized that this trend only partially solves the problem of professional development of young people. It is proved that continuity is possible if translation and inheritance are considered as complementary types of human activity. Inheritance, however, is a multi-level process of human interaction with the surrounding world, affecting the structures of the unconscious, and is meaningful in connection with the implementation of external activities by a person according to the norms and standards set by culture. Such a specific nature of the language makes us doubt the universal possibilities of digitizing the knowledge to be assimilated.

Published: June 2021

The modern technical education digitalization implies an increase in the role of the information component in the training of students. At the same time there is a certain gap between the modern technologies training and the understanding of the fact that construction industry is the mixture of historically formed features and the current state of the industry. Nowadays construction industry is under continuous technical development. The main danger of an insufficient attention to the special aspects of the construction development is the neglect of the preservation of cultural background and architectural heritage, which can be observed in the modern life.

The article deals with the issues of improving the effectiveness of the educational process of students by introducing into the educational training process not only modern methods of designing building structures, but also the issues of understanding the history of the emergence of individual construction objects. The construction object can’t appear out of nothing.

All constructive solution is preceded by a historical situation the situation of cultural and architectural heritage. However, there is no discernible connection between technical education and the humanities and social sciences.

The authors use historical examples to justify the need for the use of elements of the humanities by a teacher of a higher technical educational institution with the introduction of the capabilities of modern digital information modeling technologies.

Published: June 2021

Global digitalization requires changes in all spheres of human life, including education. Modern trends lead to the introduction of various innovative technologies into the educational process, including gamification, which provokes changes in approaches in order to train a new type of teacher. The stability of society and its future development largely depend on the quality of its preparation. In the context of the general digitalization of education, a future teacher must have certain digital skills that underlie digital literacy for successful professional activity. The purpose of this study is to describe an effective experience in the formation of digital skills by the classification of three groups and three levels when using the elements of gamification in teaching future teachers. In the work, general scientific methods were used: analysis of theoretical sources, collection of information, comparison, generalization, questionnaires, and the study of the products of educational activities of students. The study confirmed the effectiveness of the identified conditions for the successful formation of three groups of digital skills among students of educational institutions of higher and secondary vocational education, which showed an increase in their academic performance in the process of studying the disciplines under consideration and the level of their digital literacy.

The article is based on the following practical methods: observation of classroom and extracurricular communication between teachers and foreign students, questioning of teachers and students, the method of experiment. Five models of the introduction of virtual educational environment into the practice of teaching Russian as a foreign language are identified and analyzed, and the functional capabilities of platforms and applications used in online learning are described in detail. The main problems that arise for foreign students while fully converting Russian language teaching into a distance format are identified. Russian language teaching quality is determined by three main criteria that affect the quality of teaching Russian to foreign students in a distance format using a virtual educational environment: the level of Russian language proficiency, the motivation of the student, and the language/discipline section being studied. The mixed learning model, which combines traditional classroom learning with parallel online broadcasting of classes in a virtual space, is currently the most optimal model for implementing a virtual educational environment in the teaching process. When using the mixed learning model, the necessary competencies are acquired by both students studying in the classroom and those students who, due to various circumstances, study in a distance format. The mixed education model allows the student to make a deliberate choice between traditional and innovative models, making it possible to switch from one model to another directly in the learning process.

Code-switching and translated/untranslated repetitions in Nuyorican Spanglish
Authors: Semenova Marina
Published: June 2021

Nuyorican Spanglish is a variety of Spanglish used primarily by people of Puerto Rican origin living in New York. Like many other varieties of the hybrid Spanglish idiom, it is based on extensive code-switching. The objective of the article is to discuss the main features of code-switching as a strategy in Nuyrican Spanglish applying the methods of linguistic, componential, distribution and statistical analysis. The paper focuses on prosiac and poetic texts created in Nuyrican Spanglish between 1978 and 2020, including the novel Yo-Yo Boing! by Giannina Braschi and 142 selected Boricua poems, which allows us to make certain observations on the philosophy and identity of Nuyorican Spanglish speakers. As a result, two types of code-switching as a strategy are denoted: external and internal code-switching for both written and oral speech forms. Further, it is concluded that repetition, also falling into two categories (translated and untranslated), embodies the core values of Nuyorican Spanglish (freedom of choice and focus on the linguistic personality) and reflects the philosophical basis for code-switching.
Main aspects, principles and targets of teaching foreign languages

The language is entering the era of the information society and is undergoing changes associated with borrowing words from the dominant language. With the development of social, political, economic and cultural conditions with other societies, there is a “mixing of languages” or “language contact”. This process affects the structure or vocabulary of one of the languages. Since contact occurs through the social and speech interaction of native speakers, the result is either minor changes in vocabulary or significant structural changes at all language levels. In the vocabulary of any language, there are many borrowed words, which are very diverse both in their composition and in the degree of penetration into the language they are borrowed from. Of all the units of a language – phonetic, grammatical, and lexical-words are usually the most easily borrowed due to their General mobility. However, in the vocabulary of any language there are, as we already know, different “layers”, different categories of words that are borrowed in different ways. The problem of borrowing in vocabulary has both a general and a particular aspect, due to the peculiarity of the relationship between different languages.
