Introduction: The distribution of open online courses makes the education system change and these changes are rather serious. These courses exert a positive influence on society, widely spreading education around the world. During the globalization of education, these courses provide open access to the educational content of the world's leading universities. The use of open electronic courses is a relatively new direction in education, which has not been profoundly studied by researchers. The introduction of these courses causes the change in the structure of the educational system. Therefore, the article considers the specifics of implementing online courses, including requirements for them, as well as factors that slow down their active development.

Materials and methods: analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction.  Minin Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University has been given as an example

The results of the research Having studied the "The Regulations on the use of open courses in educational activities of the Minin university" in addition to establishing  the functions of coordination group on open education, it has been noted that after completing the course, in case of unsatisfactory result,the the student is given an opportunity to have one more attempt to pass the exam.

Discussion and conclusion: the article concludes that open courses are a new qualitative step in the development of world education, but online courses would be much more effective if they were field-specific, designed for adults who are deeply motivated for training.  Minin University, which we took as a basis for the research, showed that the university is ready to implement online courses. It is one of the few universities in Russia actively implementing open courses.

Introduction. In the article the authors tackle the problem of identifying the features of the contingent of students of the extramural form of studies and identifying their motives for learning a foreign language. The main task of the higher education system in the Russian Federation is training of competent specialists ready for continuous professional education and professional mobility. The extramural form of education in higher educational institutions is one of the main forms of continuing education, which is currently considered as an effective, open and democratic form of vocational education. The problem of development of cognitive activity in modern education is considered together with the problem of personal growth, the success of students in learning, achievement and independence in a variety of activities. Cognitive activity is revealed through the motivation of a person to learn something new or unusual, which requires extra work and effort to add this information to the original database in long-term memory., The authors understand the term “foreign language cognitive activity” as the students' awareness of the consistent implementation of the hierarchy of short-term, medium and long-term goals for professional development.

Materials and methods. The authors analyzed the set of first-year students in extramural department, since the study of a foreign language begins in the first year of higher educational institutions, they analyzed their age characteristics, as well as their motivation to enter  the university. The study was conducted on the basis of the Faculty of Management and Social and Technical Services of Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University named after K. Minin. The study involved students enrolled in the 1st course in the areas of "Management" and "Tourism". The methods of investigation were determined by the tasks of the problem being solved. We used empirical methods (observation, questioning); statistical methods (qualitative and quantitative analysis of results).

Results of the study. The conducted research made it possible to identify the following features of the contingent of extramural students in the faculty of management and social and technical services in the areas of "Management" and "Tourism": diverse set; age differences; sustainable motivation.

Discussion and conclusions. The extramural form of training is a flexible system of training that allows a person to acquire knowledge whenever and wherever he wants. Therefore, their self-study should not be passive. The student should conduct active cognitive activity and learn to apply the received knowledge in practice.

Introduction: unfavorable phenomena in society make new demands for the upbringing and development of the child's personality, for transforming his views on the surrounding reality, for changing his attitude towards people, himself and his own activity. However, some theorists and practitioners of education defend the position of denying the need for a school of educational work and shift their entire attention only to the problems of teaching, focusing on the technological development of education. However, it is quite obvious that the school has always been, is and will be a teaching and educational institution responsible not only for educating children, but also for the development of the child's personality. In modern conditions, the need to focus the content of educational programs on Russian culture, traditions of people's life, local history is actualized. The purpose of the article is to present the results of the long-term experience of one of the leading schools of Nizhny Novgorod, MAOU "School No. 187 with in-depth study of individual subjects"..

Materials and methods: the diversity of the material studied required the use of different approaches and a set of complementary methods that ensured the objectivity and scientific validity of the research results: theoretical methods: comparative-comparative analysis of philosophical, psychological, pedagogical, methodological literature; method of scientific synthesis of factual materials; inductive and deductive methods in their unity in the generalization of materials; pedagogical monitoring: evaluation and analysis of products of activity. Methodological basis is system, personality-activity and culturological approaches.

Results: in the scientific research, the conceptual foundations of the spiritual and moral system of the upbringing of the school are revealed; the modern approach to development and realization of educational process on the basis of orthodox values and cultural traditions is proved. The expediency of introduction of administrative-organizational, pedagogical, psychological, technological conditions of introduction of the system of education in school is proved. The development of the personality of the teacher in the spirit of traditional Orthodox values is determined by the fundamental condition for the realization of the tasks of spiritual and moral education of students in school. Features of introduction of innovative forms of the organization of educational process are considered. The criteria for the effectiveness of spiritual and moral education in the educational organization, diagnostic tools are presented.

Discussion and Conclusions: the long-term experience of the school proves the readiness of the school to effectively ensure the formation of spiritual, moral, and civil security of the individual in pupils, successful socialization and professional self-determination of students, which ultimately contributes to increasing civil responsibility for the fate of the country, security and sustainable development of the country.

Introduction: The article is devoted to the analysis of the Renaissance model of school organization and running, the London’s grammar school of St. Paul established in 1509 at the St. Paul Cathedral by rector John Colet (1467-1519) being taken as an example. The history of the school has not yet received a worthy attention of domestic scientists. The foreign studies show the contradictory estimation of J. Colet's pedagogical activity. Analysis of the organizational basis as well as mundane life of the St. Paul’s school seems to be of critical importance for an integral picture of the development of the educational system during the Renaissance and modern age.

Material and methods: The source and historiographical base: the school’s Statute, English chronicles, epistolary texts, documents concerning the school building’ construction as well as the relationship establishing with the Merchant Mercers company and with the Saint Paul Cathedral’s chapter; the writings of humanists, research in the fields of personal history and the social history of education. Methods: hermeneutic analysis, historical-genetic method, paradigm-pedagogical method.

Results of the study: School running and everyday life in England at that time would stick to the traditional medieval forms within the clerical and city municipal corporal framework. Colet created a crucially new model of grammar school. It was an open public school independent of ecclesiastical jurisdiction and ruled by a secular body - the School Board of the Mercer-merchants  of London («Mercers Wardens and Surveyors»). To maintain the school Colet transferred the considerable land holdings under the control of the Mercers. Education was free. The St. Paul ’s grammar school was the largest one in the Renaissance England in terms of number of students and teaching staff.

Discussion and conclusions: Colet became able to thoroughly over haul his predecessors’ experience and the most progressive elements of the school organization and running that had already existed and developed some new humanistic ones in order to implement them within a whole educational body. It was a brand new educational institution in terms of organization of the educational process, which became an example for the classical gymnasiums of the modern age.

Introduction. The article discusses the problem of happiness and some aspects of its study in modern foreign and domestic psychology, including the relationship of happiness with a number of personal characteristics, like age and gender features of its source. Summarize the existing approaches to understanding of essence of the phenomenon of happiness. It justifies importance of the development of the problem of happiness for modern women and men based on their age.

Materials and Methods. The authors present the results of a comparative empirical research of gender-specific meanings of the phenomenon of happiness of the subjects of three age groups (early adolescence, early adulthood young and middle adulthood – maturity) total number of 90 people, obtained using the modified variant of the method of semantic differential.

Results. The authors traced gender differences and gender similarities in the semantic meaning of the phenomenon of happiness in subjects of different ages. Traced gender differences and gender similarities in the semantic meaning of the phenomenon of happiness, which is characteristic for subjects of different ages, with sufficient variation found to these differences and similarities. The authors found only a single event sustainable in terms of the age dynamics of statistically significant gender differences regarding the semantic similarities of happiness with the government in favor of males. There are some internal contradictions in the system of subjective perceptions of happiness in subjects of different age groups.

Discussion and Conclusions. Specific factual material shows the role of differential gender socialization in the formation of personality conceptions of happiness that, according to the findings, most clearly evident in the period of early adulthood. However, along with traditional gender values and standards in some subjects, there are some gender unconventional views, which is a consequence of the impending changes in the content of the dominant in contemporary Russian society the strategy of gender socialization.

Introduction. The article tackles the main components of the model of assessment of professional competences and skill level of psychologists in education, taking into consideration professional standard requirements. It is shown that the activity of the psychologist in an education system (educational psychologist) is currently undergoing essential transformations. It is determined by need to increase its quality in the educational environment of a new type. The considerable demand for psychological services in an education system is caused, first of all, by increasing attention to the development of intellectual and personal potential of younger generation reflected in modern educational standards and the Education law. According to it, the requirements to qualification and professional competences of a psychologist are increasing that allows carrying out labor functions effectively according to the professional standards. Development of uniform system of a professional certification of educational psychologists acts as an important stage of implementation of the professional standard of the educational psychologist.

Methods and materials. Research methods: theoretical analysis, generalization, systematization, classification. Research materials: The standard and legal documents regulating work of the psychologist, the professional Educational psychologist standard adopted by the Order of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Russian Federation of July 24, 2015 of N 514 N.

Results. The model of certification of educational psychologists constructed on the basis of the professional standard "The Educational Psychologist (the Psychologist in Education)", including the purposes, tasks, the principles of carrying out certification, the system of criteria and indicators of assessment of professional competences is presented in the article. The criteria system includes the invariant (obligatory) and variable criteria considering specifics of activity of the expert in the educational organization and distinctive features of the contingent of students. The content of criteria reflects the main types of psychoprophylaxis in the educational organization (psychological diagnostics, psychological consultation, psychological correction, and psychological education) and also ethical and standard legal support of activity of the educational psychologist. Compliance to the criteria is estimated concretized indicators are used to assess the compliance with the criteria allowing to provide quantitative and qualitative assessment of the professional competences providing proper performance by the educational psychologist of his duties.

Discussion and conclusions. The developed criteria system of certification of educational psychologists meets the requirements of the professional standard and corresponds to target reference points of preventive model of psychological service in education. At the same time, further development and deployment of system of certification of educational psychologists assumes the solution of the prospective tasks connected with specification of functional structure of activity of the educational psychologist, improvement of mechanisms of certification, definition of the directions of development of psychological service of education in general.

Introduction: In article the methodological bases of preventive model of activity of the educational psychologist are considered. Need of development of uniform conceptual model of psychological service for an education system is proved. It is shown that the importance of the solution of the current problems connected with preservation and strengthening of psychological health of children increases in modern conditions.

Materials and methods: The analysis of the normative documents regulating activity of the psychologist in education, the theoretical analysis, generalization, systematization, classification, questioning. 9357 respondents – the psychologists working in an education system and heads of the educational organizations of various regions of the Russian Federation participated in poll devoted to problems of work of the educational psychologist.

Results: The main fields (directions) of work of the psychologist in an education system are opened: psychological (psychology and pedagogical) diagnostics, psychological consultation, psychological correction and development, psychological education, psychological prevention. It is shown that the volume and content of activity of the psychologist in an education system considerably becomes complicated and extends. Complication and an intensification of work of the modern educational psychologist leads to differentiation of areas and the realized activity models, at the same time, regarding psychology and pedagogical and methodical maintenance, expert and design activity of the psychologist is partly crossed with pedagogical activity. In this regard need of more accurate definition and differentiation of professional tasks of the teacher and psychologist for education is proved. Data of the questionnaire conducted on selection of educational psychologists of various regions of the Russian Federation are provided. Results showed that real work of the psychologist in educational institution generally consists of psychodiagnostic inspections and methodical support of educational programs which are carried out of target reference points of activity. Educational psychologists do not allocate preservation and strengthening of psychological health of students as a relevant task, do not own technologies of scheduled maintenance. The rupture of the theory and practice of psychology in education is noted.

Discussion and Conclusions: The preventive model of psychological service in education is offered. According to it a main objective of psychological service in an education system psychological health of children and students acts. Prevention as the system of the actions directed to prevention and correction of deviations of mental development, formation of the personality, socialization, preservation and strengthening of psychological health is the main sphere of activity of the psychologist.

Introduction: In the era of intensive computerization of society, the computer becomes an integral part of the life of a modern teenager. The virtual world contributes to the formation and development of those forms of individuality, which are largely designed by computer games developers, which leads to a change in the organization of the teenager's life - the computer player, his communications, the transformation of traditional social ties. According to the results of research, the consequences of enthusiasm for computer games include, among other things, the emergence of cruelty in relations between peers. Of particular concern is the fact that violence is reflected in the interaction of children with classmates, as a result of which is its spread in educational institutions. The problem of studying the relationship between gaming computer enthusiasm and teenage bullying is, in our opinion, an urgent task and requires a multilevel analysis.

Results: The article presents an analytical review of research on the problem of enthusiasm for computer games and school bullying in Russia and abroad. Noting the importance of these studies, it should be recognized that the problem of overcoming adolescents' enthusiasm for computer games in the form of reducing and preventing its destructive influence and preventing the formation of deviant behavior requires further analysis and study. Till now it is not enough studied, in what cases the enthusiasm for computer games leads to deviant forms of behavior, which provokes the formation of an associative orientation in adolescents. In this regard, it is relevant to assess the relationship between the enthusiasm for computer games and deviant behavior in adolescents, as well as the search for effective methods and means to prevent computer game enthusiasm, based on a personal-oriented approach to each child.

Discussion and Conclusions: At present, there is no single point of view on how the enthusiasm for computer games arises and develops, how computer games influence the child's mental development and personality, whether they can contribute to his emotional development, cause deviations in his behavior, aggressiveness and cruelty. Despite numerous studies of the bullying problem, it remains an open question how computer game enthusiasm is associated with blocking the process of positive personal development of the child and teenage bullying. How the impact of violent computer games on the child's psyche is associated with aggressive forms of harassment.

Introduction. The problem of understanding conscience in the conditions of the influence on it by modern information technologies has become of great importance. In this case the purpose of this work is a research of changes taking place in the intellectual world of active users of the Internet in the context of their predicament of value-based structure of a personality.

Materials and methods. In this work there are the main methods used in social-humanitarian sciences first of all analytical and system approaches, a secondary analysis of the data of empiric researches. The research of the problem (case study) takes place also on the basis of using a new methodological approach – a worldview analysis of the phenomena of intellectual( spiritual) world of a person having made by the author.

Results. The article concludes that the impact of the Internet on people’s spiritual world is determined by its essential characteristics - a huge number of hypertext information which is readily available and can be quickly found by a person. The possibility to generate and spread the information by an anonym on the Web affects the Network users’ spiritual world. A large amount of information that can be quickly spread and the phenomenon of hipertextuality, – all this stimulates the trend towards a "mosaic thinking", an important feature of which is multitasking. Hypertextuality and multitasking, in its turn, contribute to the process of reducing Network users’ voluntary attention, up to attention deficit disorder. Orientation toward the information that is continuously available to a Network user changes the nature of its memorizing. It is increasingly happening due to the "external expansion" of consciousness. In addition, there is activation of the process of visualizing consciousness that may reduce the role of abstract logical thinking. The Internet gives the opportunity to meet a variety of needs.

Discussion and Conclusions. However, the impact of the Internet on the people’s spiritual world is complex. The degree of negative or positive effects can be determined in relation to a particular person taking into consideration the characteristics of his spiritual world, above all, his values and outlook. Sustainable outlook which includes positive values for an individual and society helps to avoid the negative influence of informational technologies and make use of their opportunities for personal development. An individual with more developed values and world outlook can better point out important and necessary information in the information flow. He can better generalize it to his advantage, correlate it with the existing knowledge and successfully apply it in practice.

Introduction: This paper examines the current situation with companies in the market and examines the need for such companies to make a qualitative leap in competitive strategy, because the dynamics of social processes requires continuous technological and ideological development of the HR departments are responsible for dealing with personnel problems in the organization. The modern concept of "lifelong learning" represents necessitaty of including in the process the development of postgraduate educational path specialist.

Materials and methods: For better understanding, the role of gamification is needed to be defined, so the article also analyses the current state of the theory of gamification and main approaches to its interpretation. The article provides an overview of the discussions that unfolded in the last two decades around the phenomenon of gamification and the legality of its inclusion into scientific use. The authors insist on the distinction between the concepts "game" and "gamification". Gamification is treated as a special principle of social practices in contrast to "pure" game as self-contained, offline activity. Regardless of extra features, the game itself is not peculiar to the pragmatic, utilitarian character. In other words, the goal of the game lies within the game itself and could not exist outside it, while the goal of a gamified activity is always set to practical goals.

Results: Such a leap could be made possible in human resources by introducing gamification, which is proven to provide a significant improvement in performance with HR services in the enterprise. We conducted research to see the connection between gamification and the four types of games considered by the theorist R. Caillois such as «agon», «mimicry», «illinx», «alea». These four applications of gamification both have advantages and disadvantages which have been identified.

Discussion and Conclusions:  The findings make a conclusion on the applicability of these practices and their role in HR services.

Introduction: The article identifies the importance of research in the field of philosophy of education. The literature review presents a wide range of researchers in the field of humanistic philosophy of education. The system analysis of the current trends in the philosophy of education is given.

Materials and methods:  The methodological basis is represented by the triad of hermeneutics existentialism-synergy. The study is carried out mainly on the basis of hermeneutic positions. The prospects of existential and synergistic positions are demonstrated.

Results: The results of the study: the essence of existential (understanding) of education is determined by the leading role of language. The dominance of pragmatism is not in line with the goals of human existence; therefore, it is not the basis of existential education. Education as a form of social existence of a man should not aim at superficial social problems, but at understanding the human being. The analysis of the relationship of human being and nature education allow us to conclude that existential education is focused on the act of understanding as an anthropological event. Education directs attention to the underlying meanings, based on the main events of human life: Birth, Love, Osamenost, Speech, Creativity, Freedom, Delight, Doubt, Suffering, and Death. These achievements should be represented in education. Human intentionality is considered as the human desire for openness, incompleteness. The definition of openness of human existence and the conformity of this metaphysical characteristic of its existence, the openness of education, the purpose of which is to build an understanding of the view of the world, allows to justify the conclusion about the incompleteness as a General trait of human existence and hermeneutically, existential, synergetic oriented education. Existential education is intentional. Festivity (celebration, fun, game, fixing the achievements, celebrate success) and the tragic mood (suffering, pain, sorrow, death are the important components of a fulfilling human life and they should not be evaluated unambiguously negative) in education. can be combined in art. The consistency of the experience of the fundamentals of human existence and co-presence with them in hermeneutically oriented education make it event-related, give it meaning. The article also investigates the border line of the achievements of a man and education. The conclusion about the nature of self-regeneration of education is drawn.

Discussion and Conclusions: The authors stick to the humanist antiscientific position in the analysis of the revealed unity of human nature and existential education, believing that humanistically oriented education should help to find the man a tough, but the best possible place to live between the “must be” and “the existing”. Existential education aims to help a person to keep courageously the dynamics of the balance on the blade of Genesis, on which he goes from himself to himself. Education in the article is represented as institutialized environment of ongoing human evolution in hermeneutical undertaking.

Introduction: The approaches to understanding the crisis of culture in the context of Russian philosophical thought at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries are considered in this article. The relevance of the topic of the article is in similarity of spiritual situation in that era and in modern Russia.

Materials and methods: The research material is a tripartite structure that characterizes the crisis of culture; “Russian spiritual tradition” – criticism of cultural progress in the second half of the 19th century - the Apocalyptica of culture of the Silver Age.

In the article the methodology of historical and philosophical analysis is used, combined with the practice of a phenomenological description of cultural phenomena and the spiritual history of the country. From the methodological point of view it is a question of revealing of philosophical and culturological aspect of the problem.

Results: In the process of disclosure of these categories, their positive and negative sides are examined which gives an insight into the spiritual state of culture and the ways of finding new worldview and value paradigms for it. The result of the article is the formulation of an understanding of Russian culture and thought in the second half of the XIX^th and XX^th centuries that it has one of the main and fundamental themes – the theme of the end of the world and history.

Discussion and Conclusions: Within the framework of disclosure of the stated problems it offers the analysis optics according to which the crisis state of culture is investigated in terms of the categories of Christian Apocalypse. At the same time historical, cultural and ethical problems are revealed in the development of Russian philosophy.

Introduction: Contemporary Slavic paganism is not the object under consideration in this article. The dissertation research of K. Aytomurtoh, which appeared in 2011 in Helsinki, is one of the most important foreign publications tackling the problem of modern Russian Rodnoverie. The paper highlights the issues of the genesis of the phenomenon of modern paganism; multiple narratives of Rodnoverie have been collected and analyzed.

Materials and methods: Rodnoverie is considered by the author in the context of post-modern religiosity, as one of the variations of the NSD. The author tries to highlight the specific features of the Russian version of the movement, drawing an analogy with the West - European equivalents. Particular attention should be paid to the extensive field material of the author, collected in the process of direct interaction with the adepts of the movement.

Results: in the last chapter the author presents the evolution of the study of the pagan movement which for a quarter of a century of its existence has undergone both ideological and institutional transformation. K. Aitamurto also suggests possible prospects of Rodnoverie in Russia. Special attention is drawn to interaction between Rodnoverie and the Russian Orthodox Church, which, in the opinion of the author, is a leader in the Russian religious structure.

Discussion and Conclusions: despite rather uneasy historical conditions for the emergence of modern paganism and the leading positions of confessional churches in modern Russia the prospects of the national movement are estimated by the Finnish researcher optimistically. K. Aimomorto speaks about the possibility of further institutional and philosophical development of the new pagan religion in Russia.
