The article substantiates the necessity of studying the peculiarities of color vision of human in the course &quot;Biophysics&quot; that have been integrated into many types of higher education institutions. It describes the experience of teaching this discipline in a pedagogical higher education institution. The article presents a brief review of the most compelling existing color vision hypotheses, according to the authors mind: G. Allen, P. Lucas and N. Domini, which are mainly associated with the appearance of color perception with dietary habits of human ancestors, and a fundamentally different assumptions of M. Changizi, whereby the color perception was necessary for a human for a good communication with their own kind for the evaluation of skin tones. In this article is observed the system of the educational experiment research of the functioning of the color perception system of the human eye, as a natural addition to the proposed hypotheses. An experimental study model of a fragment of the retina is proposed, and a laboratory work on the study of a system of a colour human perception, the study of a photobiological paradox of vision by the example of a study model of the opaque lens (cataract). The subject results of its use in a pedagogical university are debated. All this allows us to focus on a caring attitude for human biotic sensory systems in aggressive abiotic influences. It is especially important in teachers training, aimed at training and raising a healthy younger generation. The authors also consider it necessary to acquaint future teachers with the authors of the various theories of color vision and the curricula vitae of the authors of the various discoveries, because this allows enhancing an interest in the study course.

Improving listening comprehension skills is one of the urgent contemporary educational problems in the field of second language acquisition. Understanding how L2 listening comprehension works can have a serious influence on language pedagogy. The aim of the paper is to discuss the practical and methodological value of the notion of the perception base of the language. It also highlights the importance of structural features and frequency of linguistic units in helping to determine teaching priorities in English language teaching, specifically, when training listening skills. The leading approaches to the problem of the paper are the psycholinguistic and statistical ones which help to identify practical teaching principles. The paper illustrates these approaches with the findings on the perceptually relevant features and frequency of the English words and sentences and their linguistic features. The findings are discussed in terms of their application in developing bottom-up listening skills and tested in a listening comprehension experiment.

The article discusses the methodological basis of creating effective system for intellectual work management at the higher education institution. The study of the intellectual work management is caused by the need of today's complicated socio-economic, organizational and educational systems to obtain reliably reproducible repercussions from future professionals based on scientific approach management. We propose a methodology for intellectual work management, based on the interaction of complex concepts such as intellectual resource, intellectual process, intellectual potential and intellectual capital. The intellectual resource can be considered as a combination of knowledge Technologies and scientific discoveries in the course of research and development (R&amp;D) activities. The intellectual potential ensures a high rate of acquiring new knowledge. Intelligence as a mentality quality promotes adaptation to changes in learning based on the experience, comprehension, and application of knowledge. Intellectual capital of the education institution consists of knowledge, accumulated while implementing educational programs and providing educational services, as well as knowledge structures and intellectual value. We believe that their interpenetration and mutual reinforcement allows solving many fundamental, specific and applies problems of intellectual work management. The study of the students' intellectual work within the described methodological framework of management science, in our opinion, forms a coherent system of representations about the attitude of employers to the intellectual work of future professionals that increases their manageability.

Considering the fact that starting from January 1, 2015 the complex exam is introduced for the first time in the Russian Federation for the foreign citizens, who apply for obtaining the employment and residence permits, this article reveals the educational policy strategy on this category of foreigners. This policy is considered within the framework of the migrants' adaptation and integration into the Russian society. The authors of this research studied the effectiveness of new testing by collecting and analyzing statistical data. The sample included 492 respondents. The test results showed that the &quot;Russian language&quot; module turned out to be the most difficult. The survey conducted among foreign nationals also has indicated that the majority of them are having trouble with learning the Russian alphabet, as this alphabet, according to the respondents' opinion, is very different from the Latin alphabet of the Romanic languages. Moreover, the number of received points has practically no correlation with the gender factor related to the candidates. The practical value is that this study became the basis for the development of a single database for statistical processing of test results.

This study explored how four elementary teachers assessed the developmental appropriateness and importance of nine nature of science (NOS) aspects after participating in a yearlong professional development program. A multiple-embedded case study design was employed. The primary data sources included (a) Views of Nature of Science Elementary School Version 2 (VNOS-D2) questionnaire (Lederman &amp; Khishfe, 2002), (b) Ideas about Science for Early Elementary (K-4) Students questionnaire (Sweeney, 2010), and (c) follow-up semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using Yin's (1994, 2003) analytic tactics of pattern matching, explanation building, and cross-case synthesis. The cross-case analysis revealed that our participants used the following criteria separately or in some combination when they were asked to rate NOS aspects in terms of developmental appropriateness and importance: (a) teachers' NOS learning experience, (b) NOS teaching experience, (c) knowledge of their students, (d) knowledge of curriculum, (e) knowledge of school context, and (f) perceptions about the utility value of a NOS aspect or a myth about a NOS aspect. We found that even though our participants did not rank all NOS aspects equally, they considered all nine NOS aspects developmentally appropriate and important enough to be introduced at the elementary level.

The relevance of the investigated problem is caused by the fact that most children who start to study do not have a good level of higher mental functions. It leads to difficulties at school and health problems. The article aims at estimating the level of higher mental functions and the degree of educational motivation development among first-graders depending on the intensity of educational activities. The leading methods used to investigate the problem are methods of mental function evaluation of younger students. The article reveals the effect of educational activities, including intensive activities, on the development level of higher mental functions of first-graders. The results prove that the level of spatial visualization ability and short-term auditory rote memory of first-formers taking 3- or 4-year primary education program increases; and these changes are greater among students taking 3-year primary education program. This education system also contributes to increase of short-term auditory memory and semantic voluntary attention (primarily among boys). Intensive educational activities (1-3 system) provide greater motivation and efficiency of training activities than less intensive educational activities (1-4 system). The article is of practical value to educational activities managers, primary school teachers and school psychologists.
