The paper analyzes the role of art in the process of upbringing of the rising generation. Revealing the specific nature of mechanisms of artistic images influencing the personality of an individual perceiving a work of art has brought about the analysis of the nature of symbols creation, thus giving grounds for the use of semiotic approach to the artistic idiom. The methodology of the study involves the systemic approach that allows considering art as a hierarchic system. The ethic trend of art has resulted in using the axiological approach to art which helps understanding the specific character of the value component of human relationships and leads to realizing that personality is a top value. The distinction of the study lies in updating the existing methodology of pedagogical science, which fulfills the need of upgrading the technology of artistic and pedagogical analysis and promotes understanding the concealed author's meanings built into the image system of the art work allowing one to view the dynamics of the nature of human relationships captured in art by symbolic means. It has been determined that perception of art implies empathy for the character of the art work, interiorizing the social experience contained in art, adjusting the personal meanings up to the author's idea. It is proven that understanding and accepting &quot;another&quot; person in art promotes transferring the universal experience of human relationships into the daily life of the rising generation.

Teachers face numerous challenges in daily practice, including situations that involve the health, safety, and well-being of students and families. When harassment and physical abuse impact K-12 students, these situations pose unexpected challenges to novice teachers working to support their students. In this article, the authors report on a study of preservice secondary teachers' (PSTs) simulated interactions with a mother who presents evidence of physical and verbal abuse, illuminating how PSTs navigate the uncertainties and challenges of domestic violence. To begin, the authors describe the concept of a clinical simulation, its origin in medical education, and its influence on teacher education. They outline their design and implementation procedures for the Summers simulation, where each PST interacted with an actor carefully trained to portray a timid Mrs. Summers, who is worried about her son's emerging abusive tendencies. Drawing from the resulting simulation video data, the authors focus their discussion and implications on the introduction of, and rehearsal within, professional uncertainty and how approximating uncertainty can foster teacher learning.

From the beginning of the school year, the author observed an interesting phenomenon in Ms. James' 3rd grade class: Students would eagerly volunteer to share their ideas by raising their hands or calling out to the teacher, but when they began to share, they would quickly abandon their talk and announce, &quot;I forgot.&quot; As the author heard more students utter &quot;I forgot&quot; without sharing their ideas, and she noticed that &quot;I forgot&quot; was being uttered by the same group of students, she began to wonder: Had students really forgotten what they were saying, or did they say &quot;I forgot&quot; to cover up something else? In this article, the author explores how young English language learners (ELLs) use the phrase &quot;I forgot&quot; in small group discussions during a reading intervention and investigate how the use of &quot;I forgot&quot; acts as a reaction, or &quot;front,&quot; to the restrictive language and learning contexts of these students' school. This article describes the problematic curricular contexts in some urban schools and explores the following: If &quot;I forgot&quot; does not actually mean that children have forgotten what they wanted to say, what underlies young ELLs' utterance of &quot;I forgot&quot; and what beliefs about learning and school are displayed?

The paper deals with problems of the country's economic security and entities, timely resolution of which influences directly the country's national security. The cornerstone of successful existence of any country, especially the Russian Federation, during such complicated period is the presence of effective national economic security system. Analysis of the phenomena connected with using accounting information giving information about financial and economic activity of companies to investors and entrepreneurs in terms of economic security is particularly important in the global market conditions. The paper's purpose is showing the interrelation between economic security and financial statement falsification. In this article, falsification of financial statements is considered within a framework of system and comprehensive approaches as one of possible internal and external threats to financial security of particular economic entities and country as a whole under global market conditions. Using the complex and systematic general-research approaches allows to consider the financial statement falsification problem in the global context as a criminogenic phenomenon similar to international crime. At the present moment, the research in this field is common in the research and professional environment. Analysis of the current situation allows identifying the basic information channel of interaction between the business and society: financial statements, whose authenticity determines the reliability of potential contractors and efficiency of contractual relationships in many aspects.

The integration of students from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds in public schools has been an issue of educational policy concern for several decades. Most school desegregation programs implemented in the United States post-&quot;Brown&quot; that relied on student busing and race-based school assignment were discontinued by the 1990s. In Minnesota, these were replaced with an approach that encouraged voluntary school integration efforts, supported with funding provided through State Statute 124D.86 to districts with racially identifiable schools or whose schools were racially isolated relative to neighboring communities. A legislatively mandated Integration Revenue Replacement Advisory Task Force was convened from November 2011 to February 2012 to frame the role of the state's schools in addressing racial inequities and to recommend changes to existing policy. This article applies Fairclough and Fairclough's (2012) analytic framework of &quot;political discourse as argumentation&quot; to examine the revision of this statute as a site of ideological contestation. The appointed members of this task force included professional educators, former legislators, faith leaders, and lawyers, and presented distinct epistemological beliefs regarding the purposes and roles of schools and of policy. Two competing claims for action were identified, summarized as &quot;Bipartisan Compromise&quot; and &quot;Conservative Dissent.&quot; This analysis reveals the effect of underlying values on developing particular claims for action made by Task Force members, and connects these values to divergent understandings of the purpose of state educational funding and the outcomes that public schooling should achieve.

The focus of this article is on how translanguaging, which is defined as a language practice that transcends formal language boundaries, was used as a linguistic tool and resource for expressing thoughts, emotions, and understandings of and around English and Spanish texts. Focusing on translanguaging as a medium for learning, the authors begin the process of valuing two students, Thomas and Melissa, as developing bilingual and biliterate learners who have linguistic strengths. The implications of such a perspective emphasize the concept of bilingualism as a resource not only in speaking but also in reading, regardless of the languages of the texts (Faltis, 2013; Hornberger, 2003; Ruiz, 1984). The concept and practice of translanguaging has reverberated across the field of bilingual education, and researchers document its use within both oral (Garcia, 2009) and written (Makar, 2012; Velasco &amp; Garcia, 2014) contexts. While this may be the case, less focus has been placed on this bilingual language practice within families. The languages families use for purposes of communicating when reading and discussing texts have the potential to support the bilingual oral reading performances of their children. In this research, the authors investigate how translanguaging mediated the social construction of knowledge about reading.
