Building the process of education effectively and qualitatively taking into account educational needs and students' individual characteristics is possible by developing of the special technics of education, in terms of which a student not only will repeat the actions of a teacher but first of all will use different interactive and adaptive educational technologies. The modern computer technologies because of high crucible carrier size and high processing speed allow to enlarge the borders of materials used in an educational process because of highly developed ways of analysis of a dialogue with a user and considerably adopt transfer of knowledge to a concrete learner. The teaching technique of computer testing suggests realization of new approaches to a building of teaching courses by special organization of information block of a discipline in the form of sections and modules, structuring of test materials due to the module division in accordance with information structure of learning material, division of module testing material into the groups of test questions and tasks in keeping with the content and arrangement of groups in order of difficulty of testing materials, appliance of consistent approach allowing to realize several sorts of adaptiveness while testing students' knowledge. We offered the consistent approach, allowing to realize practically several types of adaptiveness while estimating knowledge by computer testing. (1) The changing of strategy of examination depending on the student's answers, legalized by means of special structure of examining algorithm. (2) Testing on assignment, which is divided into the training, realized independently for the estimation of knowledge by a student himself, and control, realized under the supervision of a teacher for the objective estimation of real knowledge, and progress check and final check are important and particular case. (3) Testing on profoundness of the examination -- to the examination level. (4) The testing by volume of the checked material subdivided depending on material volume (the module, the section or several sections (progress check), all discipline (final check). The given possibilities are provided with the organization of the information and testing material for subsections of a course and are considered in the testing algorithms. The offered approach maximally takes into account essential characteristics of computer process of an examination and allows to build an individual path of training students by using various interactive means.

The present paper is based on the concept of life-long guidance with focus on the labor market, employability, professional orientation and career development. In career development, an important role is played by career counseling provided by employers, namely in the classification of career guidance services provided in the private sector. The aim of the paper is to characterize selected career-related guidance services activities provided by employers. It is based on the analysis of theoretical sources and practical applications of career counseling services, resorts, and sectors providing services, their legislative and institutional support from the aspect of national and European institutions. Apart from the methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction, also informal interviews and questionnaire methods were used in data analysis. Empirical research was conducted in the area of career guidance provided by employers. Two types of methods were used to process collected data: manual processing and automated processing. Our intention is to deal with career guidance services as an important element of the life-long education in the light of the research project on &quot;The preparation of the content and structure of subject disciplines focused on the business knowledge and skills in graduates from selected Medical Services fields of study&quot;.

The article deals with the approach to the development of the manual &quot;Professionally Oriented Introductory Course&quot; Databases &quot;in English&quot; on the discipline &quot;Foreign Language in Professional Activity&quot; on the basis of the principles of subject-language integrated learning which is being studied at the Technical University and acquiring special relevance in connection with the growing role of foreign-language communication in the professional activity of modern specialists. Particular attention is paid to the fact that the structure of the textbook is described, its content and other aspects of its development and practical use are given. It is also revealed the essence and content of &quot;Professionally Oriented Introductory Course&quot; Databases &quot;in English&quot; on the discipline &quot;Foreign Language in Professional Activity&quot; at the present stage. The article presents an example of the use of modern interactive technology of CLIL's integrated subject-language training using the LMS MOODLE educational platform, and also the characteristics of this platform that contribute to the effective development of professional and linguistic competencies of students are disclosed. The authors mark that subject-language education occupies a certain niche in technical university practice, which is formed by individual teachers who equally possess both their professional discipline and a foreign language. The key is the provision on the obligatory, in our opinion, conditions for the successful implementation of an integrated learning process that includes a foreign language and professional disciplines-the integration of teachers from different scientific fields. The application of this manual to the training of future engineers, as shown by the results of our study, positively affects the results of students' training. The research maintains that in general, the subject-language integrated learning is a useful and popular direction conducive to the creation of conditions for the productive mastering of professionally relevant information of disciplines of various cycles with the help of a foreign language, creating conditions for self-realization and self-development of a person.

Political, socio-economic, ideological matters of a new century set special requirements to immediate change of traditional approach to studying foreign languages. Academic mobility, integration in world scientific-educational space, creation of optimal educational system and programs allow efficiently solve the tasks aiming at qualitative approach to education. Preparation of contemporary young people to live in a constantly changing world is a major goal of modern education. The idea of this education focuses on potential abilities of students and their realization to their advantage. Education should develop the mechanism of innovative activity, find creative ways of settling life-important issues, and serve as a stimulus to turn creativity in the norm of life. Language teaching professionals are confronted with a lot of challenges these days, because language teaching has gone through important changes in the last few decades as a result of several conditioning factors: progress in general Linguistics, Pedagogy and Psychology, new findings of second language acquisition theories and important sociological transformations, namely the growing nature of a globalized world with the rapid widespread of new technologies. Learners are growing up with technology, and it is a natural and integrated part of their lives. For these learners the use of technology is a way to bring the outside world into the classroom. And some of these learners will in turn become teachers themselves. All this proves that language teaching does not exist in the abstract but it is influenced by a wide range of individual matters and sociological and pedagogical variables of different nature.

Regarding the growing frequency of crisis situations in society, an improvement of special educators' skills in providing psychosocial first aid (PFA) to people with disability in crisis situations needs to be taken into account. The goal of the study was to ascertain the special educator`s role when providing PFA in selected crisis situations, as delineated by volunteers of Community-based psychosocial intervention teams. In conducting the study, a qualitative approach was used with a multi-case study of the descriptive-exploratory character being the main method of the procedure conceptualization. The data was collected by means of combining a semi-structured interview and a projective technique -- sorting out picture cards. A thematic analysis method was employed for data analyzing. Volunteers giving PFA to people with disabilities have faced significant difficulties. A specific approach in providing PFA to people with disabilities is necessary. Thus, strengthening of the special educator`s role is required in the given field.

Relevance of the article of a problem of formation of regional educational space of the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic as private question investigated by authors is caused by existence of more global problem of threat of real disappearance of a unique circumpolar Arctic civilization, it's culture and traditions as a result of action of processes of globalization, need of her preservation. The purpose of this article consists in attraction attention of scientists to this problem, identification of ways of her decision. In the article the education using the ethnocultural potential of traditions of peoples of the North is considered as the factor stabilizing disintegration processes. The leader in a research is the culturological approach giving the chance to consider a problem in a complex. According to conceptual approach, the most ancient people of the Earth which have lodged around the North Pole have created the circumpolar civilization possessing community of many leading parameters of culture of survival in the conditions of permafrost and which is characterized by unity in variety of ethnic communities. Development of any education system happens in a social and economic context of the concrete administrative territory with inherent in her culturally - historical, ethnocultural traditions, a way of life, national peculiarities. The main plan of a research consists in consideration of education with use of potential of ethnocultural traditions of the population both a factor of development of the region in general, and preservations of a unique circumpolar civilization of the people of the Arctic, in particular. Materials of article are of practical value for the multinational countries with multiethnic features, for development of the theory of poly-cultural education; can be used when developing concepts of creation of educational space of the region as factor of stabilization and his further development. Results of a research can be used for methodological justification of programs of development of ethnocultural education, in development of administrative concepts for the sphere of ethnocultural education.

At present, in the literature that is are devoted to social life, it has become commonplace to claim that we live in the era of the &quot;digital revolution&quot;. Our paper deals with computer science in the period from the late 40's to early 60's of the twentieth century, which is considered from the point of view of &quot;intellectual history&quot;. We concern ourselves with, in the main, two problems. First is self-consciousness of members of the computer science community in relation to other spheres of scientific and engineering-practical activity, including the question about the correlation of theoretical and applied components in the structure of the knowledge. Secondly, we tell about interactions of a new sphere of professional activity have been occurred in this period with various social practices - scientific, industrial, political and so on. Based on the texts that reflect the incipience of computer science in the West and in the Soviet Union, we reveal some features of the &quot;philosophy&quot; of the early period of the digital revolution in the context of the existence of two ideological systems.

The requirements to future specialists in professional education accentuate the qualities of their adaptability, constant self-improvement, capacity to adjust to the new demand in the profession. These qualities are especially important for students of pedagogy and art preparing for the career of actors-instructors, i.e. instructors teaching children acting in school theatres. The actors-instructors' ability to competently foresee the tendencies in their profession, to prognosticate the ways to teach their pupils seems most effective on the basis of teaching pedagogical forecasting to students. Pedagogical forecasting is viewed as the scientifically grounded activities aimed at investigating possible transformations, development trends and prospects of objects in pedagogy and education. Three aspects of pedagogical forecasting are applied in the activities of future actors-instructors: forecasting students' own leaning, forecasting and designing classes in the process of pedagogical practical training (quazi-professional activities) and teaching forecasting to pupils during practical training in schools. The present paper introduces the concept and structure of pedagogical forecasting in the activities of future actors-instructors. The levels of pedagogical forecasting in the activities of future actors-instructors are described. The criteria to measure the prognostic competency of future actors-instructors are shown. The model of pedagogical forecasting in the activities of future actors-instructors is introduced. The experimental research conducted in a higher school in the Urals in 2013-2017 illustrates the system of activities to prepare future actors-instructors to apply pedagogical forecasting in their profession. The process of future actors-instructors training to organize pedagogical forecasting is shown. The methodology to analyze the pedagogical forecasting in the activities of a future actor-instructor includes case study, educational experimentation. Data collecting and processing is based on conversational interviewing. The data collecting method is carried out to study the higher school staff opinions about the actual level of future actors-instructors' pedagogical forecasting. Statistical data processing was performed in the MS Excel 2010 environment. A comparison of the distribution of nominative variables was made using the X[superscript 2] Pearson Fitting Criterion with a sample size (n [greater than or equal to] 100).
