The current paper had two aims, first to investigate Turkish pre-service preschool teachers' perceptions of different kinds of landscapes that can be used to achieve their educational goals, their ideas about the characteristics of these settings, and the contribution to children's education, the resource needs, motivations, and barriers they associated with these settings, and second to explore the possible relationship between nature relatedness of the participants and their outdoor setting type preferences (educational and personal). The participants were 300 pre-service preschool teachers from two universities in Turkey. The researchers used a landscape preferences questionnaire accompanied by 16 photographs of types of outdoor settings and human influence attributes to explore the landscape preferences of the participants. Additionally, a nature relatedness scale was used to investigate the participants' understanding of how human beings and nature are connected. The results showed that while the participants' educational preferences were generally in the categories of park and maintained settings, their personal preferences were water and natural areas. The results also revealed that although there were no significant differences in the preferences of the participants' educational landscape and their level of nature relatedness, there were statistically significant differences in their personal landscape preferences and levels of nature relatedness.

The article concerns the problem of training a competitive person in the information and educational environment of a higher education institution. Professional formation of a person is conditioned by historical, social and cultural factors. This research is guided by the works of B.G. Afanas'iev, A.G. Asmolov, E.A. Klimov, V.A. Kal'ney, B.F. Lomov, V.D. Shadrikov, N.S. Pryazhnikov, S.E. Shishov, etc. The analysis of the literature on this subject suggests that the professional formation of a person should first of all be seen as the formation of professional orientation, the adequacy of the personality traits that are socially important and demanded, the desire for self-fulfillment. Formation of the professional orientation goes through a number of stages, each featuring new objectives of the activity as well as new leading mechanism determining the activity. The findings obtained provide a conclusive proof that clear and scientifically grounded organization of the educational process in a higher education institution is a prerequisite for the formation of a professionally orientated psychologist as an individual. The contents of the educational process must be interrelated, complementing each other, which will allow for comprehensive and purposeful development of the process.

Environmental issues have become a central issue, which is considered not only at the state level, but also in the international arena. At the moment the main initiators of drawing attention to the environment are the environmental non-profit organizations. In developed countries, these organizations provide full support to the government and society. For developing countries, such as Kazakhstan, there is a number of issues: legal and social. The article deals with the legal regulation of the environmental non-profit organizations and reveals their role and influence on the government and the public. In order to achieve this goal has been applied the analysis of international law and the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the experience of scientists is generalized. In Kazakhstan, the legislation provides for free participation in non-profit organizations, including environmental. These organizations should be closed only in cases of violation of the legislation. Environmental non-profit organization conduct environmental education on the problems, cooperate with government authorities. The nature of such associations is exclusively peaceful and voluntary, nor is the goal to acquire profit.

Higher education faculty learn how to teach through courses, seminars, or workshops during and after their doctoral program. Perhaps the more prevalent way faculty learn to teach is through observational and self-directed learning. In order to assist with self-directed teaching improvements we developed the Multidimensional Matrix of Teaching Development (MMTD) focusing on what dimension or component is being targeted for improvement, how to improve, and who can/should be used to assess the improvement. A facilitator or mentor could also use the MMTD in planning and guiding an individual in improving teaching, and, importantly, student learning. After explaining the MMTD we provide an example that illustrates how the matrix was used by one author as a tool to improve a targeted teaching component.

One of the symptoms of neurosis at preschool age children is fear. In our opinion, research in this area will help to solve a number of problems of children of preschool age, including difficulties of acceptance on themselves in the new social roles in relation from kindergarten transition to school adjustment problems and a number of other pressing issues that confronts a psychological science. Research is directed to comparative and age studying of forms of boundary mental disorders at children at various stages of mental development. Existence of fears that appear as result of development of the intellectual sphere and imagination are characteristics of each age. Under favorable circumstances of life of the child, such fears disappear: children &quot;grow up&quot; from them. However, when fears collect, they interfere with personal development of the child and create for him adaptation, neurotic and other problems, and in general, are a trouble sign. In this work, the research directed to identification of amount of fears at children of preschool children aged from 3 years 8 months until 5 years 5 months by means of A. I. Zakharov's technique &quot;Children's fears&quot; is conducted. Frequency, content and amount of fears are revealed. Increase in quantity and intensity of fears correlate with nevrotization level. Statistical these amounts of fears are given in different age groups. Kruskal Wallis's H-criterion and ?2-criterion of consent of Ch. Pearson were used when processing results.

A &quot;threshold concept&quot; is a challenging concept that acts as a doorway leading to deeper understanding and a dramatic shift in perception. A learner that is involved in grasping a threshold concept is said to be undergoing a threshold experience within a &quot;liminal space&quot; or learning environment. We used the blog as a liminal space for our students to engage with the theory of evolution, which is a threshold concept. In order to teach evolution effectively it is necessary to address both understanding and acceptance of evolutionary theory. To explore the latter in an introductory biology course, we used a series of reflection assignments, submitted by students using a blog format, designed to inform, engage, and probe students' views on evolution without dismissing their prior beliefs. Using the blog feature on our learning management system (LMS), students were asked to feel free to express their views on the nature of science (NOS), evidence for evolution and natural selection, and the application of the concept of non-overlapping magisteria (NOMA) to the evolution-versus-creationism debate without fear of being graded poorly for a wrong response. Grades were based solely on the level of engagement expressed via thoughtful responses to the specific prompts within each reflection assignment. A student reflection rubric was used to grade and assess student performance and allowed us to examine how students integrated evolution into their prior knowledge. We found the blog to be a highly effective online tool to closely analyze students' written reflections on a topic that can be both intellectually and emotionally challenging.

This article aims to discuss the opportunities in the interactive teaching in higher education. The study presents the methodological approach of understanding the notions of &quot;teaching technology&quot; and &quot;interactive teaching methods&quot;. The originality of the study consists in the authors' definition of the situation in &quot;the conceptual didactic field&quot; and their proposal of classifying interactive teaching methods. The authors have also explored endless possibilities for setting up the interactive educational process of non-entertaining interactive teaching methods. The issue of implementing interactive teaching methods and techniques in higher education concerns, in the narrow sense, encouraging teachers to perfectly master the specialized terminology and to communicate in the same &quot;teaching&quot; language; and, in the broad sense, the approach to evaluating quality of teaching in a higher education institution, since interactivity is in demand among students, making this institution more competitive in the educational services industry (related to the &quot;word of mouth&quot; phenomenon when modern students' emotions and impressions about an interesting activity are reinforced by professional knowledge which is a must on the job market).The findings obtained provide a conclusive proof that clear and scientifically grounded organization of the educational process in a higher education institution is a prerequisite for the formation of a professionally orientated psychologist as an individual. The contents of the educational process must be interrelated, complementing each other, which will allow for comprehensive and purposeful development of the process.

This work stems from the need to develop a line of institutional policy recommendations to improve school performance and to reduce the backlog in the graduation of students in the Cuajimalpa Unit of the Metropolitan Autonomous University. The school backlog of students of this university is one of the main institutional concerns, due to the existence of &quot;bottlenecks&quot; in the different careers educational process, preventing the completion of studies at the time established by the educational programs. At the same time, the improvement in the students' academic achievement, represented by the increase of the school averages, is an approximation of knowledge assimilation as a substantive part of the University's activity. Thus, the study analyzes the determinants on which the University can exercise institutional policies to improve student's achievement rates and lower rates of backwardness in this university student's graduation.

The paper examines the characteristics of a mistake of the commitment of crime as an optional feature of the mental state of the crime. The analysis conducted offers an opportunity to state that in international criminal law, a mistake of law, although taken into account, does not generally affect the classification of crime. We uncovered and substantiated the need to research mistake as one of the features of the mental state of crime. This will make it possible to reveal the real causes of crime and administer the right type and measure of punishment. Moreover, the research provides a definition of mistake of criminal law by which we should understand an incorrect view of a person of the actual substance of his/her action and the specific characteristic of social relations that are protected by criminal law and are damaged as a result of a crime. Proceeding from a scientific approach to the definition of mistake of criminal law and its role in the mental state of corpus delicti, the author proposes that mistakes of law and mistakes of fact in criminal law affect the classification of crimes.
