Fast zonotope‐tube‐based LPV‐MPC for autonomous vehicles
Authors: Alcalá Eugenio , Puig Vicenç , Quevedo Joseba , Sename Olivier
Published: March 2021

In this study, the authors present an effective online tube‐based model predictive control (T‐MPC) solution for autonomous driving that aims at improving the computational load while ensuring robust stability and performance in fast and disturbed scenarios. They focus on reformulating the non‐linear original problem into a pseudo‐linear problem by transforming the non‐linear vehicle equations to be expressed in a linear parameter varying (LPV) form. An scheme composed by a nominal controller and a corrective local controller is proposed. First, the local controller is designed as a polytopic LPV‐H controller able to reject external disturbances. Moreover, a finite number of accurate reachable sets, also called tube, are computed online using zonotopes taking into account the system dynamics, the local controller and the disturbance‐uncertainty bounds considered. Second, the nominal controller is designed as an MPC where the LPV vehicle model is used to speed up the computational time while keeping accurate vehicle representation. They test the presented scheme and compared the local controller performance against the LQR design as state‐of‐the‐art approach. They demonstrate its effectiveness in a disturbed fast driving scenario being able to reject strong exogenous disturbances and fulfilling imposed constraints at a very reduced computational cost.
Event‐triggered adaptive fuzzy bipartite consensus control of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles
Authors: Xu Yuanyuan , Li Tieshan , Tong Shaocheng
Published: March 2021

This article studies the problem of event‐triggered distributed adaptive bipartite consensus control for multiple autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) systems with a fixed topology. Different from the existing literature on multiple AUV systems, the competitive relationship among AUVs is taken into consideration. In this situation, the bipartite consensus control is implemented to complete the controller design. Furthermore, combing the relative threshold strategy and the backstepping method, an adaptive event‐triggered control scheme is developed to decrease the updating frequency of control input. Through the Lyapunov analysis, the proposed protocol ensures that the position tracking error of the considered system converges to a small neighbourhood near the origin. Finally, a simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the control scheme.

Authors: Kosherbayeva Аigerim , Kosherbayeva Gaziza
Published: March 2021

The priority direction of modern education around the world is to ensure its high quality, based on the fundamental nature of knowledge and the development of students’ creative competencies. Simultaneously, the factors determining new requirements for the assessment and measurement of the quality of education are becoming more obvious and relevant. The setting of such tasks today is aggravated by the processes of globalization, which require collective intelligence, the consolidation of knowledge and world experience, considered as one of the effective ways of developing national educational systems. In this regard, a master’s program for measuring and evaluating the quality of education in a network form was implemented with the participation of the Moscow City University and Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University. It is worthy of highlighting that Kazakhstan needs specialists in the field of education quality assessment and pedagogical measurements. The Institute of System Projects at Moscow City University. has enough experience and is also known to be an expert in this industry. Therefore, an agreement on the exchange of this experience was signed bilaterally. Thus, the master’s program has changed the educational process of the main pedagogical university of the country. New aspects of cooperation between the two major universities have been opened.

Authors: Le-van Tatiana , Loginova Larisa , Shiyan Olga , Iakshina Anna , Shiyan Igor
Published: March 2021

Professional development of teachers is recognized worldwide as an important condition for high quality education. According to experimental data, pre-service and in-service training programs of preschool teachers are not always efficient, their interrelation with provisions for quality development in kindergartens is inconsistent. Developing potential of internship as a form of professional growth reduces deficiencies of programs focused on achievements of the kindergarten, on teaching technics without discussion of their worthiness and preschool values, perfunctory discussion, rigidity, organizational disadvantage. The authors discuss the criteria of effective internship. Programs work both to give specific knowledge and master pedagogical techniques, and, at the same time, to develop reflection. Programs support participants to adopt the cycle of pedagogical action. This research is aimed at selection of best practices of preschool education and analysis of their potential in internship. The research participants are Moscow teachers of 50 preschool groups. The groups, ready for internships, demonstrate significantly higher quality of education than the joint sample; however, they experience the lack of competences in work with adults and in development of their reflection. The internship programs elaborated by teachers from high quality groups show some deficiencies, namely, different topics interfere in one short-term program, the main focus is on object-spatial environment but not on interaction, participants’ outcomes are not embodied in any product. Best practices are interested in their own development as well as new sources of motivation. The authors have proposed internship to become a resource of development both for organizers and participants. Each position solves its own problems.

Methodological approaches to the development of criteria-based assessment of educational results
Authors: Orekhova Tatyana , Neretina Tatiana , Ustselemova Natalya , Krujilina Tamara , Goncharova Anastasia
Published: March 2021

The article presents the authors’ experience in developing and applying criteria for assessing the results of the educational activities of students in the system of contemporary education. The necessity and expediency of its implementation are justified by the actual difficulty of objective assessment of the quality of educational results; reduction of the motivating function of the five-point assessment; as well as natural and personal uniqueness of each student as a subject of educational activity. The analysis of domestic and foreign studies on the problem of criteria-based assessment of learning results in the system of general and higher education shows that despite various approaches to the criteria-based assessment of learning results, the methodology of its development is not sufficiently covered in pedagogical science and practice. The present research aims to develop a pedagogically appropriate methodology for constructing a criteria-based assessment of the results of students’ educational activities. This methodology includes several interrelated actions: establishing three levels of students’ mastering of the content of each discipline; developing quantitative indicators and qualitative characteristics of each level; ensuring methodological development of requirements for each task; bringing to the attention of students the content of each level of mastering of the main educational program. An important condition is the ability to repeatedly correct each task to bring it to the highest possible level of perfection. The leading methodological position is given to the idea of the human’s inherent desire for success and to be the first. As the results of the conducted study show, the implementation of the proposed methodology naturally leads to an enhancement of the education quality, which is reliable proof of its scientific novelty.

Authors: Sergeeva Svetlana , Vagaeva Olga , Dianova Yulia , Denisov Mikhail , Voskrekasenko Olga
Published: March 2021

The professionalism of a higher school teacher and the quality of their work largely determine the quality of training of future graduates who are ready for professional advancement in the context of the development of new high-tech technologies and the increasing demands of partners in the real sector of the economy. In this regard, the research aims to find ways and mechanisms to improve the professionalism of the teacher, their training, and retraining in contemporary educational practice. The article presents the research results obtained at the Department of Pedagogy and Psychology of Penza State Technical University (Penz STU) on the concerned problems. The novelty of the research lies in the effective ideas, approaches, and principles of constructive problem-solving in educational practice proposed based on the analysis of normative, historical, pedagogical, and scientific literature of foreign (Germany, Great Britain, and the USA) and domestic practices. It is shown that the studied and characterized models of improving the professionalism and training of academic staff in higher education, identified leading principles underlying the implementation of these models, and the relationships among the goals, results, and conditions of training and retraining of academic staff in the realities of today can be in demand and successfully implemented. As promising areas for improving the professionalism of a higher school teacher to effectively address issues of high-quality training of graduates, the authors offer to provide pedagogical support as the most productive technology to support a novice teacher during their professional adjustment, conducting monitoring of the effectiveness of teachers’ activities to improve the quality of their professionalism, and encouraging effective and efficient work, as well as providing social partnership and integration of all types of educational resources.
Education in the library: luxury or a citizen’s guaranteed quality of life
Authors: Asonova Ekaterina , Borusyak Liubov , Romanicheva Elena , Kikteva Ksenia
Published: March 2021

The article studies the role of city libraries in school education based on expert interviews carried out with Moscow teachers, librarians, teenagers, and their parents. The study is relevant due to the importance of city libraries in the educational process and their insufficient use in practice. This is the first comprehensive study of standardized interaction between schools and city libraries. The research has demonstrated that ties between these institutions and the process of their interaction have a personal and informal nature. Today, public libraries are information and education resources for school only to a small extent. Most teachers do not see any point in collaborating with libraries since their communication with librarians is not properly regulated. As a rule, successful examples of such interaction are not associated with established rules but rather with a personal interest conditioned by subjective, often random reasons. An essential characteristic of this communication is event-based learning, the use of verbal practices and educational games, as well as a stable educational orientation. Children as participants in the educational process have minimum engagement in this field. It is a rare case that libraries are regarded as a place for independent learning where students work with the necessary sources to conduct scientific research and engage in project activity. In most cases, city libraries attract teachers with their student-oriented events or activities. At the same time, libraries are rarely used in the educational process. Their role does not always involve working with collections or developing children’s need for independent reading. The latter can be satisfied by visiting a local library and addressing reading lists.

Urban natural environments in teaching younger school children
Authors: Kropocheva Tatyana , Sineva Mariya
Published: March 2021

Under the conditions of intensive introduction of information technologies into learning practice (presentations, e-books) and various printed media (printed notebooks, dictionaries and reference books), teachers everywhere have ceased to perform nature tours, and during lessons devoted to Surrounding World it becomes common to study nature without nature. Observations of nature and laboratory experiments, introduced in the 19th century to methods of teaching natural science, were referred to as the main methods of teaching natural science to younger schoolchildren in the 20th century. However, in the 21st century the observations nearly disappeared from elementary school, and experiments are performed either as home assignments or are substituted with presentations. Aiming at elimination of drawbacks of verbal presentation of Surrounding World discipline, becoming more and more popular in modern elementary school, the authors tried to analyze the opportunities of close natural surrounding for organization of research activity by younger pupils. This article discusses educational opportunities of the use of urban natural environment in formation of direct observations and nature study by younger pupils. Information about the natural and climatic features of the urban environment, about diversity of flora and fauna species can be useful for the teacher. The mentioned features are exemplified by natural environment of city schools in Kemerovo oblast. Floristic lists of trees and shrubs at schoolyards of some schools in Kuzbass are provided as well as specifications of species diversity of various classes of animal world of the mentioned cities (birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and insects). And though the urban natural environment cannot be considered as rich, the species diversity of synanthropes and ruderal plants of urban nature present wide opportunities as learning material to train investigative researchers capable to see, to analyze, to compare, and to generalize natural phenomena.
Professional standards for training of teachers to ensure the quality of education in a city
Authors: Nikolayeva Nataliya , Mikhaylov Nikolay , Semenova Svetlana , Mikhaylova Elvira , Derevleva Yelena
Published: March 2021

The conducted research has allowed identifying the main contradictions between educational and professional standards in the field of training of teachers and determining the most vulnerable links in ensuring a systematic approach to the organization of the educational process. The conducted analysis has resulted in a scientific justification of the necessary changes and reconciliations in educational and professional standards to update them and improve the quality of training of specialists in the teaching sector. An earlier analysis of federal educational standards has shown that changes in the content of competencies were aimed at implementing education as a service rather than a pedagogical process. This makes it difficult for the teaching staff to educate the younger generation of teachers in the traditional paradigm of national education. However, the latest generation of Federal State Educational Standards (FSES) indicates the need to take into account the requirements of professional standards that correspond to the professional activities of graduates. Besides, clause 3.5 of the FSES 3++ specifies the right of an educational organization “not to include professional competencies determined independently if there are mandatory professional competencies, as well as if the recommended professional competencies are included in the bachelor’s program” (Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation of December 4, 2015 No. 1426). There is an evident discrepancy of requirements of the FSES of the last generation in terms of the scope of professional competences and the need to take into account these requirements to ensure teacher’s actions, presented in the professional standards, aimed at performing official duties by the teacher that allows considering the problem of compliance with the requirements proposed in the FSES and in professional standards of teachers to be very relevant. The research purpose is to conduct a comparative analysis of the requirements stated in the FSES and professional standards of teachers in the national education system.
Additional education of children as an innovative resource for the development of regional educational potential
Authors: Pavlova Oksana , Ivanova Irina , Chirkova Natalya , Buslayeva Yelena , Burlakova Irina
Published: March 2021

The article describes the Russian experience of building a system of additional education. It is shown that this experience is consistent with world educational practices and has unique features. These features are shown on the example of the Kaluga Region (space-oriented education, support for children’s giftedness, and career guidance to the benefit of the region). Additional education of children in Russia is considered a unique educational system. The article presents the global experience of individual-oriented educational practice aimed at forming human capital. The authors use statistical data reflecting the work of additional education of children in the region in the context of the Kaluga Region. The novelty of the research is due to the reflective and axiological approach to the organization of pedagogical support of teenagers’ self-development in the context of additional education of children as a key element in the formation of human capital. This approach represents a special type of pedagogical interaction. The goal of pedagogical support is searching for their life purpose and implementing the found meanings in the “project of their own life”. The article defines the regularities on which the authors’ approach is based (a humanistic type of interaction between the teacher and adolescents as accompanist partners; eventfulness of the educational process, which is scoped to the boundaries of the child’s life activity in general; building a space for knowing one’s selfhood and its implementation by a teenager), as well as basic principles (actualization of reflection, and value attitude of children to their life activity). Pedagogical support of adolescents, based on the ideas of the reflective and value approach, contributes to the development of human capital.
Education and city in the English-language small-format texts: axiological approach
Authors: Starostina Julia , Cherkunova Marina , Kharkovskaya Antonina
Published: March 2021

The present research deals with the study of the linguoaxiological plan of small-format texts in the English-language educational discourse. The empirical basis for the analysis included one hundred presentation texts posted on the websites of British urban schools. The study hypothesis is that small-format presentation texts fully reflect the value paradigm formed by contemporary British society concerning secondary education in urban infrastructure. At that, values are interpreted as axiological dominants, verbalized through a system of linguistic markers. The novelty of the approach to the analysis of the linguocultural plan of small-format texts is due to its integrated nature, involving a progressive shift from the level of evaluative linguistic resources to the identification of evaluative micro- and macroconcepts, followed by the subsequent systematization of the obtained data at the level of the relevant axiological dominants associated in the minds of society with the education sector in the context of the urban environment. According to the analysis, the absolute axiological dominant of contemporary education is the student’s “Success” interpreted in a broad sense as academic performance, as well as the ability to apply in later life the skills formed in the course of study. The results obtained can be used for further development of linguoaxiological problematics in other discursive areas.

Published: March 2021

The contemporary development strategy of Russian education puts forward several requirements for the system of additional education for children and teachers engaged in this field. The teacher must have the ability to self-development and self-improvement, be engaged in creative and innovative activities. The authors note that in the current conditions, the teacher must choose the only correct trajectory of professional advancement that will lead to the achievement of the desired results. The individual trajectory of personal and professional development of a teacher can be represented as a trajectory of professional self-development and self-improvement of a teacher of additional education in the course of teacher’s methodological work. The purpose of the current research is to develop, theoretically substantiate, and experimentally test the program for implementing an individual trajectory of personal and professional development of additional education teacher in the course of teacher’s methodological work. Implementation of individual trajectories of personal and professional development of additional education teachers in the educational organization involves the development of a specific action plan of the heads of departments, educational and methodological service of the institution, as well as very additional education teachers. The tasks of the educational and methodical service of an educational organization in this process are aimed at encouraging teachers, attracting them to innovative activities, various types of methodological work, and providing pedagogical and methodological support. The use of individual trajectory of personal and professional development in the course of organizing methodological work in the educational organization of additional education contributes to an increase in the professional competence of teachers as well as the development of their interest in this process.

The situation that has arisen is viewed as a natural experiment the education system finds itself in requiring an understanding of its results at a certain stage. A theoretical analysis of the most popular distance learning organization technology implemented in Russian universities under current conditions (the coronavirus pandemic) is conducted and a critical evaluation of the obtained initial results of the readiness of higher education system to transition into the new digital education reality is provided. The discovered problems of distance learning include: the insufficient level of teachers’ digital tolerance and the lack of necessary competencies in them; the psycho-emotional instability of the online interaction participants; low learning motivation and the level of students’ practical skills; the lack of a universal digital platform for the organization of activity of all participants of the learning process. The perspectives for solving the aforementioned problems and priority directions in the improvement of this form of education are established, specifically: the technological direction (the formation of teachers’ ability to create online courses and effectively combine the functions of different digital platforms); the methodical direction (the formation of a set of professional and personal qualities necessary to effectively address professional tasks and expansion of the set of methods and means of organizing students’ activity considering the conditions of online interaction); the psychological dimension (teachers’ awareness of the need for self-improvement in the sphere of digital technologies and the formation of interest in learning and satisfaction with the process and results of distance learning in students). The identified areas are considered as risks the consideration of which in educational activities will make the distance learning process flexible and manageable.

This article presents generalized model of collaborative actions, during which participants create, modify, and estimate digital objects. Such activities can be observed in numerous network communities. A prominent example is the repository of lesson scenarios of Moscow Electronic School (MES). The combination of methods of agent-based modeling and network analysis is used in the work. Using NetLogo environment in the frames of the model, an artificial community has been developed, where teachers-agents interact with scenarios-agents. Teacher-agent determines whether there are potential scenarios in his environment to be contacted with. If such scenarios are available, then the agent selects the nearest one and makes a step towards it. If the scenario has been opened by one of the teachers, then this is already an author’s scenario and the teacher-agent takes an action to reuse it. Variants of the reuse can be preset so that to correspond to the actions allowable in the environment of MES repository for learning scenarios: review, addition to bookmarks, running the scenario, downloading, using in home assignments. All these actions of teachers regarding scenarios are logged, then the log records are transformed into bipartite graph. The experiments demonstrate that while the area of participant scenarios is expanded, not only the general number of links among participants increases but also large networks of participants are subdivided into smaller and densely interconnected groups. One of the control trends of participant activities is in the use of multiagent-based modeling as a tool of collective reflection of teachers cooperating on the basis of MES.

In the context of the digital transformation of education, this study focuses on the analysis of social media as an efficient tool for developing learning spaces of universities. The goal of this study is to explore the use of Instagram by city universities, highlight the existing trends, and determine best practices and high-potential directions of online development for universities. The evidence base of this study included the Instagram accounts of six city universities of the world, specifically: the Moscow City University, the Dublin City University, the University of Taipei, the City, University of London, the City University of New York, and the City University of Hong Kong. The research was conducted using the method of content analysis with the use of Google Data Studio services. The analysis uncovered the following topic-based groups of content featured in the Instagram accounts of city universities: Personalities, University, Applicants, Learning and career, Science and technologies, City, Society and politics, Art, and Atmosphere. Subsequently, four high-potential directions of online development were identified for universities: first, more active user engagement and support; second, development of new forms of teaching and learning activities; third, popularisation of research; fourth, branding the university as a partner of the city. The novel contribution of this paper consists in engaging modern analytical tools to visualize a university profile from its published online content. The findings can be used by universities as recommendations on developing and adjusting their content strategies to adapt to the ever-changing realities and ensure effective online promotion and realization of their teaching potential.

Informational support of education is an area of pedagogical science that has been actively developing in Russia over the past few decades. Today, it has become the basis for the digital transformation of education, whose essence is transforming the methods of professional teaching by integrating digital technologies and moving to a data-based decision-making model. Among the participants of educational relations, there are diametrically opposite views on the possibility and feasibility of digitalization of education, especially at its initial stage. The purpose of this research is to present an authorial standpoint on the problem of digitalization of education with regard to both elementary general education in general, and digitalization of the Mathematics and Computer Science subject area, in particular, at the level of primary general education. The research methods include content analysis of scientific articles and methodological publications, the regulatory framework of school education, as well as generalization and systematization of international research in the field of the digital transformation of education. Authors considered external aspects of the digital transformation of primary education, determined by the general requirements for the information educational environment; highlighted activity areas related to the formation of students’ basic digital skills in the course of mastering all subject areas without exception; as well as revealed the problems of internal digitalization of the Mathematics and Computer Science subject area at the level of primary general education. The article substantiates the expediency of strengthening the logical and algorithmic components of the initial course of mathematics, the content line responsible for working with data, as well as several other issues related to theoretical computer science, and outlines prospects of the digital transformation of training of future primary school teachers to work in a modern digital educational environment.
