| 351 | This model is based on scientific approaches to studying the formation, development of personality and abilities as professionally significant personal qualities of the future specialist: activity, personality-oriented and competence approaches. It is constructed from logical and sequentially functioning blocks: the social order, the conceptual, the target, the substantive, the organizational-activity and the evaluation-resultant blocks. The social order reflects the needs of society and the state, the needs and individual characteristics of students, as well as the professionalism of teachers. The conceptual block acts as the theoretical and methodological basis for the formation of common competences and determines the content of all other blocks of the developed model. The target block of the model for the formation of general competences includes the goal, the tasks of this process, based on the observance of didactic principles. Since personality traits are characterized by motivational, cognitive and activity components linked logically, thus forming a system and reflecting in the process the formation of common competences, these components were singled out by the authors in the content block. The organizational-activity block of the presented model provides selection of means, methods, forms of organization of educational activities for the formation of common competencies in the process of teaching mathematical and natural science disciplines. The appraisal-productive block of the model for the formation of general competencies determines the effectiveness of the formation of general competencies that depends on concrete results, which are based on certain criteria, indicators and levels of the formation of common competences. Keywords: structural and functional pedagogical model, general competencies, scientific methodological approaches, levels of methodological analysis, components of personal qualities, modeling blocks | 1092 | |||||
| 352 | Synergetic approach in pedagogy allows us to consider development of teacher’s competence as a self-organization process of complex structure. At the same time it becomes possible to use synergetic modeling and to find new approaches to the organization of teacher’s self-education and self-development, to give it humanistic traits – subjectivity, activity, consideration of individual needs. Synergetic modeling has several advantages. It allows to consider complex self-organizing systems, such as social groups, complex personality structure. Synergetic approach allows us to consider the social system using the principles developed in synergy: homeostasis, hierarchical, non-linearity, openness, instability, dynamic hierarchy, observability. Synergistic approach used in management, replacing technocratic management, gives possibilities of a soft impact on self-development of teachers through environmental management options. Based on the synergistic approach, it is possible to design the change of the educational environment with creation of disequilibrium points to initiate teacher’s self-development. This approach is of particular relevance in the development of the research competence of the teacher, since it forms the skills of activity in the situation of uncertainty, openness, activity, readiness for a wide range of variants of the development of events. By controlling the environment at the bifurcation points, you can initiate the process of self-development of teachers, which opens up opportunities for improving the quality of education Keywords: synergetic approach, education, self-development, research competence | 1091 | |||||

| 354 | The practice of teaching Russian to Lao cadets and observing the unsatisfactory learning outcomes of this group led the authors to conclude that it is necessary to identify the causes of problems and outline possible solutions. The relevance of the study stems from the need to formulate guidelines for teaching the Russian language to Lao cadets, taking into account the difficulties identified, as well as the characteristics of their native language. The theoretical significance of the work lies in the classification of errors found during the experiment and the illustration of the mechanism for the formation of communicative failures. The practical significance of the study is determined by the preparation of a number of guidelines for working with students from Laos. The authors reviewed studies that describe the Lao language, compare the typological structure of the Russian and Lao languages, and provide an account of the complications faced by the Lao when learning Russian. For a detailed analysis of the types of errors, their classification and identification of system links, an experiment was conducted. The experimental group was offered assignments of the reproductive and productive types. The results are presented in the appendix, which reflect the types of errors with examples, the number of assumptions made by each respondent and the overall result. The erroneous memorization and reproduction of vocabulary is due to phonetic interference and mechanical transfer of the principles of spelling. The low rate of vocabulary expansion is explained by the extensive synonymy of the Russian language, on the one hand, and the undeveloped lexical system of the Lao language, on the other hand. Various problems with syntax are based on the discrepancy between the fixed word order of the Lao sentence and the free word order in the Russian one, which leads to an incorrect interpretation of the subject-object relations. This results in the “intonational” articulation in oral speech and incorrect graphic articulation in writing. As a result, the totality of the above reasons leads to communication failures. The authors formulated a set of guidelines for increasing the effectiveness of training for Laotians, taking into account the complex of the causes found. Keywords: Russian as a foreign language for listeners from Laos, interlanguage interference, phonetic interference, mechanisms of communicative failures formation, native language consideration, word-formation analysis as a way to study vocabulary, connection of sy | 1090 | |||||
| 355 | The article analyzes the problems of the modern Russian education during the period of its continuing reform, in particular the loss of one of the most important tools for the formation and development of personality – education. As a result of socio-political, economic and cultural changes in education system education originally abandoned its educational function, but in the present situation of devaluation the recovery of values of education can be seen in a number of priority areas for development. To understand the essence of education analyzes the social and philosophical position of the German philosopher and sociologist Niklas Luhmann, who studied the process of sociocultural evolution of education and interpreted education in his work as a result of the educational system of the society. Education in socialization treated by N. Luhmann as mechanisms of personality changes, but education complements and corrects the results of socialization. Education takes its contingency formula in the concept of “education”, which is understood as the result of N. Luhmann active work of the individual over himself, the symbol of his public success. Pedagogy as a theory of reflection develops its own definition of the educational plan, thereby changing the content of the previous formula of contingency “education”. The educational goal is not designated as the development of scientific knowledge, as well as the acquisition of “ability to learn.” This educational goal orients the individual to explore all that is available for the study, and the need for further lifelong learning in the future. Thus, the concept of Luhmann is radically different from today's traditional ideas that underpin all modern education system in which education is understood as a mere tool of learning and education, moreover is not binding and has no evaluation criteria.

| 356 | Relevance of the analysis of education from reliability position is proved. Reliability of education is understood as the integrative property reflecting such interrelation of the components which provides preservation of the quality standard in the established conditions in the required limits. The analysis of education from a position of reliability is carried out at three levels: at the genera level reliability of education is considered as a system; at the special level it is considered as a social phenomenon; at the single level – as a pedagogical process. As an example shows the results of research of reliability of the teacher. Keywords: reliability, reliability of education, reliability of the teacher | 1089 | |||||
| 357 | In recent years in Russia there were opened many institutes and departments involved in the preparation of fashion designers. However, the lack of well-established teaching traditions, uniform requirements, and well-coordinated work of the teaching staff leads to inconsistency in the educational process and interferes with the preparation of specialist able to work in modern conditions. The author sees the solution of the problem in creating a designer’s professional practice model, based on the specifics of the local market of design services, where experts will work after training. The results of dialogue with representatives of regional enterprises that took place on the 24–30 November 2014 at the Institute of Arts and Culture of National research Tomsk State University in the framework of the “Cultural industries”, allow to highlight four basic types of specialization. According to them, the author identifies the basic professional requirements to young fashion designers. Specialists training model, based on these requirements, will lead to forming of student’s professional and special competences and allow higher school to take worthy place in the field of fashion designer’s education.

| 358 | Further development of humankind is possible in the context of a dialogue of different national, cultural and religious communities, who are able to understand and accept another culture as a positive equivalent to their own. The articles deals with the challenges of globalization, namely, the complex problems of ethnic relations within Russia. The problem is analyzed from the standpoint of possible use of successful practices of previous periods in history of Russia. The main message is to educate young generations of RF ethnic tolerance with positive examples. Replicating negative information of interethnic relations plays a negative role in everyday life and the course of education for younger generations. The most possible attention is paid to development of principles of tolerant attitudes towards different ethnic groups of the country – the titular nation, i.e. ethnic Russians, ethnic minorities and immigrants. State authorities should be involved in the process as well. Education with positive historic and cultural ethnic experience, dialogue, cultural practices, multicultural studies pre-arranged as a realistic program are thought to be reliable means to develop more tolerant younger generations. Professionalism in this matter is rather significant: profound knowledge of ethnic characteristics guarantees mutual respect and acceptance while solving the problems of ethnic conflicts.

| 364 | The problems of modern education in the primary school are reflected. The introduction of Federal State Educational Standard in the primary school, as several authors of the analyzed studies have noted, is insufficiently prepared. In particular, little attention is paid to creativity in the learning process. The main disadvantage of Federal State Educational Standard is the lack of a single tool for assessing the different groups of activity skills that need to be formed among schoolchildren. The analysis of the diagnostic materials used in the training process – from school to university – shows that the grades of the introduced learning outcomes in the form of competencies are gradually being developed in universities. The same thing happens in colleges. In school education, the evaluation of learning outcomes is now being actively developed in a junior school, while in a basic school such materials are not sufficient. The manifested problem of lack of creativity is solved by introducing lessons-problematizations into the learning process, in fact – the lessons of obtaining new knowledge, a new way of knowing. At the same time students develop the ability to solve problems, regulative and communicative skills. Diagnostics of these skills is carried out on the basis of developed cards, in which the elements of skills are presented. The cards are filled by students, members of training or problem groups, or student experts. This type of diagnosis teaches students selfevaluation, helps the teacher and parents to follow the progress of the student in the activity and mastering the subject.

| 365 | Normative documents on higher pedagogical education, a real situation in education indicate the necessity to change the quality of the preparation to the pedagogical activity. Such changes in training are ensured by the participation of the students of pedagogical institutions in solving their (pedagogical) education tasks, i.e. their participation in the pedagogical activity necessary for the formulation and solution of these tasks. To do this it is necessary to actualize the conditions and forms of changing of the content and organization of students’ preparation to the pedagogical activity. The eventual approach appears as one of the conditions of this change. Recently a certain amount of researches discussing the eventual approach in education has appeared. The aim of the article is to substantiate the interconnection and intercorrelation of educational events and pedagogical activity. For this purpose, the notions “event” and “educational event” have been formulated on the basis of the analysis of literature and the experience of empirical research. The characteristics of pedagogical activity have been singled out to define the connection of the educational event and pedagogical activity. Objectivity, value-semantic relations, reflexion present the characteristics producing their influence on the educational event. To define the essence of the educational event influence on the pedagogical activity the mechanisms of influence have been revealed: spatiotemporal, informative (values, senses, value-semantic relations), a procedural mechanism including special forms and means (designing), special organization (action, mutual activity), conditions (participation of students in designing educational events), and results (qualitative changes).

| 366 | The article considers the possibility of designing different models of the foreign language teaching process to students in non-linguistic higher education institutions. When designing a foreign language course for professionals one needs to focus on the ultimate goal and solve actual problems taking into consideration the future specialization of the students institutions. Our proposed models can be implemented in the process of training future engineers and architects. Applying the method of modelling, we assume that the initial model of the learning process will be varied, supplemented, improved, depending on the profile of training, the initial level of the students, the specifics of their professional thinking and professional awareness.

| 367 | The introduction of universal primary education in the activities of the State Duma of the Russian Empire was for a long time not under the attention of the researchers, and interest in the topic increased due to the restoration of parliamentary traditions and deep reform of the education system. Historical sources show that at the beginning of the XX century, this issue was probably the only one that did not cause disagreements between political parties. But it was never resolved because of the six years of discussions between the factions in the State Duma, the Duma and the Council of State, the Parliament and the Government on related issues – the mandatory or granting of the right to receive primary education, the amount of funding and the nature of the management of Ministerial and Church schools, the language of teaching in primary schools in areas with non-Russian populations, about the role of local governments in the development of school Affairs, and others. The First State Duma, owing to its short existence, was unable to consider the draft law on the introduction of universal primary education, the Second Duma began its work, but its early dissolution did not allow any significant decisions to be taken on the issue. The Third State Duma was the only one in the pre-revolutionary history of Russia that lasted a full term of office, and the results of its activities in the field of education gave it the name “Duma of national education”. More than 300 legislative initiatives in the field of science and education were considered, including 15 draft laws on primary education, and additional allocations for primary schools increased by almost 40 million rubles a year. But the bill passed by the Duma on the introduction of universal primary education did not pass in the State Council. The Deputies of the fourth convocation again discussed the content of the draft developed by the Third Duma. The main cause of the conflicts was the issue of parochial schools. The last time in the history of the Duma a bill was introduced by the Minister of Public Education, P. N. Ignatiev, on 28 August 1916, but the decision on it was never made. However, during the years of operation of the State Duma, unprecedented resources have been allocated for the development of primary education, the training of teachers, the salaries of teachers and the construction of new schools, and public spending on schools almost doubled.

The tests tasks were created by the mathematics teacher in the IREN computer system in accordance with the program for the 8th grade on the topic “Inequalities” and taking into account the level of student preparation. The purpose of these tests was to teach students to transform and solve inequalities. The tests were offered to students of the Cadet Corps. Previously, we have formed two groups of eighth grade students who are equal in basic training in mathematics. One group (17 people) did the tests during self-training. We did not limit the number of attempts to pass the test. We did not grade students according to the results of these tests. Another group (14 people) did only ordinary homework on paper. We compared the results of training cadets who used the tests with the results in the control group of cadets who were not tested. These two groups of students solve the same test work on paper. We used the Mann-Whitney test. The results of the training of the cadets who did the tests were better. Using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient, we showed that improving learning outcomes associated with student success in testing.

| 379 | It is shown that the results of science research in the area of personalization made psychologists pay attention to the study of literary abilities of a gifted person, especially the psychological foundations and writers’ artistic creativity process. We started with the fact that nowadays researchers are searching for the integrative psychological indicator which allows to characterize a literary gifted personality. Further we describe the contribution of scholars to the development of diagnostic tools for studying psychological manifestations of literary abilities and specifics of literary and art creativity. Throughout the last century Russian and international scientists engaged in psychology have been carrying out fundamental research, including longitudinal studies on the problems of psychology of creativity, general and specific abilities. Finally, we show that one of the central problems of empirical studies in the field of psychological knowledge is the development of methods and tools for diagnosing psychological features of a creatively gifted personality. Russian psychologists developed testing techniques for diagnostics of features of creative thinking. However, researchers experience considerable difficulties in finding of external criterion. The uniform generalized validity measure for creativity has not been established yet. Special difficulties are caused by the design of psychological tests which can be used to study the nature of special abilities, literary and artistic talent. At the moment, the specialized tests for studying literary talent are not developed, therefore the problem of creating them is objectively relevant.

| 381 | Currently, the urgency of the problem of socialization of children with special educational needs in an inclusive education is becoming extremely important. In education organizations, the number of children with disabilities significantly increases, who have a decrease in the communicative-cognitive need for communication, persistent violations of all parts of the communicative act, which creates significant barriers to interpersonal interaction. In the educational practice of children with special educational needs, the key concept is their successful social adaptation, which is the inclusion of the individual in society, as a result of which the individual’s self-awareness and role behavior, the ability to self-service and interact with others are formed. And only in the process of social adaptation does an individual become a person who possesses the necessary life competencies for a full-fledged existence in society. The article presents the results of a theoretical study of the problems of social and communicative development, the possibilities of communicative activity of children with mild mental retardation. The necessity of targeted corrective and pedagogical assistance in the formation of communicative activities based on identifying real situations in role-playing games that can be included in the corrective work of modules that contribute to the social adaptation of children in this category as a whole is emphasized.

| 385 | This article was created on the occasion of the 135th anniversary of the birth of the Tatar scientist and teacher M. Kh. Kurbangaleyev. Here his scientific and pedagogical activity is covered. He is a famous methodologist, professor, honored scientist of the TASSR. M.Kh. Kurbangaleev developed more than a hundred textbooks on the Tatar and Russian languages, arithmetics, geography; he compiled dictionaries, teaching aids and manuals, comparative grammars, and visual aids. Thanks to his efforts, an analytical-synthetic sound teaching method was introduced into the practice of the work of Tatar schools. The article briefly describes his life activities, how he, from the ordinary son of a peasant, reached the position of professor at Kazan University. He was a follower of progressive teachers, a student of eminent scientists, such as V. A. Bogoroditsky and K. Nasyirov. M. Kurbangaleev, relying on advanced world pedagogical achievements and using his experience, develops a methodology for studying the Tatar and Russian languages in the Tatar school, as well as methods of teaching the Tatar language for Netar. When developing methods of studying languages, the teacher, first of all, relies on the principle of reliance on the native language. According to the scientist, the study of the second (non-native) language should go through the use of knowledge in their native language. Further, he develops the idea of the need to teach languages in comparative forms. After the adoption of the Decree on the elimination of illiteracy, M. Kh. Kurbangaleev begins to create new, meeting the requirements of the time, textbooks and teaching aids for schools of literacy. The study of the works of the scientist on the methods of teaching languages remains relevant in modern times.

| 389 | In this article we identified effective conditions of professional development for senior management. We briefly discuss importance of life-long learning concept and its development in the context of Russian educational system. We determine “support” in context of professional development methods, briefly describe and analyze several forms of it: tutoring, mentorship, coaching and educational consulting. Tutoring is characterized by transmission of knowledge in professional areas from a tutor with a slight touch on psychological aspects that are essential for success. Those psychological matters are covered in mentorship form of professional development. Mentor is usually a senior colleague who knows well all professional requirements of a certain position and can identify the needs in non-professional sphere. Informal way of mentorship is called budding. Coaching is usually conducted by nonprofessionals and in some sense opposite to tutoring. It is focused on psychological aspects that determine a person’s personality in the context of profession: personal and professional values, understanding of high-level goals in life etc. Key difference of educational consulting from all other forms of education is that advices are provided when needed, when a person identifies his needs unlike other forms which provide holistic support on the whole length of educational journey. We also emphasize importance of further research on conditions for professional development during life-long educational model.

| 390 | The article discusses the features of environmental training for students of Russian technical universities in the context of reforming the education system. The engineering and technical profile of the future bachelor is obliged to build the ecological and educational process differently than in the case of the humanitarian or natural-science areas of student preparation. The system, axiological and thesaurus approaches are offered as theoretical grounds for the environmental and professional training of the future engineer. Together they ensure the development of an ecological culture of the individual – the main goal of environmental education activities. The necessity of representing the technical university graduate’s ecological competency (including the totality of cognitive, creative-activity, motivational-value, reflexive-evaluative components) as a reflection of ecological culture’s formation is considered. The methods and forms of training that contribute to the formation of components of environmental competence of technical university students are described. The system approach is implemented through the use of categorical-system methodology as a tool. The modes of pedagogical interaction of the teacher and student in the model of compensatory homeostat are described and justified. The importance of formation of the ecologic-professional terminology of the future engineer is grounded and the prospect of using the thesaurus approach for this is promising. It shows the possibilities of developing it through a new method of learning – a triadic decoding, involving the identification of the essential characteristics of the defined term through a system of three complementary subordinate concepts. A number of information criteria describing the formation of the ecological-centric worldview, which is the foundation of the student’s ecological culture, is described. Forms and methods of formation of ecological values of technical university’s students are considered. The theoretical foundations of ecological training indicated in the work have a heuristic potential, as it opens the possibility of improving and developing methods of ecological and vocational training for students of technical universities.

| 391 | The problem of correctional work with children with autism spectrum disorders through the development of interhemispheric interaction is considered. The results of studies by Russian and foreign authors on morphological differences of the corpus callosum of the brain in people with autism spectrum disorders, in which a specific neural marker was identified, giving new directions of correctional work. Considering that the corpus callosum provides interhemispheric interaction, the authors suggested that neurogymnastics should be added to the learning process of children with autism spectrum disorders. An experiment was conducted to prove its effectiveness. Fragments of neuropsychological diagnostics of preschool children according to J. M. Glozman were used to assess the level of development of interhemispheric interaction. A number of adapted samples were used, the quantitative assessment of which was compared with the indicated levels. The results of the ascertaining, forming and control stages of the experiment are described. Additional techniques, namely neurogymnastics, were used as an experimental factor. It is included in classes with children of the experimental group, first as a replacement for the traditional warm-up, and then in the structure of the classes themselves. The results of a comparative analysis of the dynamics of the development of interhemispheric interaction at the beginning and end of the experiment allowed us to conclude that short daily classes in neurogymnastics can accelerate the development of interhemispheric interaction in children with autism spectrum disorder. Neurogymnastics classes can bring the level of development of interhemispheric interaction in children with autism spectrum disorders closer to the level of normally developing children.

| 397 | The article presents the results of the research conducted by the author in Tomsk State University (Russia). The work draws upon the concept of the Iconic Turn and its potential for educational communication development. Contemporary education has to be sensitive to Iconic Turn consequences and to modify its educational environment via means of visual mediation. Our research aims at deconstructing the existing system of background knowledge and convictions as the basis of self- and the word-around-us description. Such deconstruction which will result in more critical perception of the reality within and around an individual is to be conducted by ‘forced slowdown’ of behavioral automatic mechanisms created by traditional educational practices. The research is conducted within microethnographic approach which focuses upon ‘what is happening right here and right now’ in the space of inter-communication. The author conducted several educational events with the use of a visual stimulus as an agent of destructive educational mediation. The experiment outcomes provoke discussion about the gaps in educational communication emerging when visual stimulus is presented to student audience in a class. The article describes the experiment set in Tomsk State University at deconstructing the existing system of background knowledge and convictions as the basis of self- and the wordaround- us description. During the experiment the organizers carried out the ‘forced slowdown’ of nominative and interpretive processes. The aim of such strategy was to create a ‘conflict situation’ in which the gap between the stimulus itself and the pre-created perception of that stimulus has been observed. The research has resulted in two main conclusions. First, students face difficulties in expressing themselves in communication as they base their utterances on the logic of the textual mode while they deal with an artifact of the visual mode. Second, students’ communicative strategies depend not on the content of a visual stimulus but mostly on its ‘perception’. Thus, future advancement of the existing educational practices is tightly connected with the new visual mode implementation.

The article indicates the existing methods of the artistic creations in literature classes, describes the prospects of the educational quest and the main stages of realization of the quest as an educational technology. The article represents the quest based on the creative works by Vladimir Nabokov, the process and results of its testing on participants with different levels of knowledge (freshmen philologists and high school students). In understanding the methodological principles of working with space in the lessons of literature, we rely on the works of E. I. Korostileva, Yu. G. Pykhtina, S. V. Kashirina, A. K. Gaisina, Yu. G. Pykhina, O. I. Fedotov. When developing the quest, three methodological grounds were taken into account. 1. The use of analytical types of tasks. 2. Reliance on the literary tradition of the study of artistic space. 3. Literary analysis should precede the methodical development of the quest. Approbation showed that the process of passing the quest makes the participants deep into the creative world of the novel “Mashenka” by V. Nabokov and helps with structuring not only artistic creation but also the fiction poetics in general (plot logic, dynamics of the character development, etc.). The comprehension of the fictional structure and the author’s concept of work through the quest is achieved in a rather short period.
