Introduction: university resource centers are one of the forms of implementing state policy on the development of civil society institutions. Being oriented to the socio-economic development of the region and the country as a whole, they ensure the involvement of various categories of citizens in social and socio-economic activities, integrate the efforts of the organizations of the region to solve a certain group of problems, contribute to raising the level of education and culture. This form of organization of activities is becoming increasingly relevant for universities, since it is the higher education institutions that are the sources of innovative transformations and the formation of an educational environment in the regions. Realizing their own projects, universities receive feedback through the resource center with the consumer of services, carry out experimental testing of theoretical assumptions, introduce new developments into practice. Openness and accessibility of university centers, at the same time, allows engaging broad segments of the population, creating event activity, attracting entrants' attention to the university's educational programs, and holding public events that create the educational and cultural climate of the region.

Materials and Methods: the article describes the resource center as an element of the region's socio-economic development, analyzes the areas of activity, explores the functions and principles of activity, presents the resource center for the development of decorative and applied arts and folk crafts at the Minin University, shows the main directions for implementing the model and possible effects of its implementation.

Results of research: the work demonstrates the effects of the activities of the university resource center on the example of the resource center for the development of decorative and applied arts and folk crafts of the Nizhny Novgorod Region at the Minin University, showing how the introduction of the model will strengthen and expand the communication of education and culture organizations interested in preserving and transferring the traditions of folk crafts in the Nizhny Novgorod region, the population of different ages of the region, production organizations and craftsmen, also improve the quality of training of students of high school to support student initiatives and creativity of university students in the field of design, development of folk crafts, decorative and applied arts, draw attention to the tourist potential of the region by drawing attention to the field of traditional crafts people from other regions.

Discussion and Conclusions: university resource centers play a significant role in the socio-economic development of the region. By integrating resources from various sources, they form new approaches to scientific research, making their results public and accessible to a wide range of people. Involving a wide range of consumers in the activities of the resource center and a wide range of implemented projects creates a significant social effect of its activities and changes the educational and cultural space, stimulating the socio-economic development of the region and the country as a whole. The use of the educational, technological and communication capabilities of the university makes resource center projects more meaningful and accessible to researchers for research in this field, both in our country and abroad, thus contributing to the expansion of partnerships and the emergence of significant practical results in this the promotion and popularization of folk crafts of the Nizhny Novgorod region outside the region, contributes to the development of a unified socio-cultural space in Russia.

Introduction: student-centered learning technologies fully meet the competence approach, which is dictated by the requirements of GEF. The training in question contributes to the improvement of the quality of education and the effective formation of qualified specialists. Therefore, further development of these technologies is advisable in modern conditions. The topic that we are studying is relevant, because the process of education is dynamic and there is a need to consider new aspects of the application of student-centered teaching in higher education.

Materials and methods: work to identify the specifics of the application of student-centered technologies was carried out on the basis of electronic courses located on the Moodle platform. In the process of the study, comparison was made of training outside the electronic courses, as well as with the use of computer technology, the available pedagogical experience was summarized on this issue. By electronic technology, we mean the totality of computer tools and methods used for training. Among electronic technologies in this article, we highlight the use of the Moodle educational platform, which hosts courses with the necessary tools and materials for training.

Results: in the process of training, two groups of students were singled out. One of them was trained in the traditional way, the second group had access to the Internet and could perform tasks electronically. Considering student-centered training, we say that thanks to him the student becomes more independent, mobile and, as a result, productive. Interactive technologies, as practice shows, make it possible to intensify the process. The second group showed more coordinated work and achieved positive results earlier than the group that had access to traditional materials only.

Discussion and Conclusions: conclusions are drawn about the student-centered approach as being productive and effective for the formation of a highly qualified specialist, since it operates within the competence approach and includes problematic training, project, uses interactive technologies that allows not only to build an individual trajectory of training in the conditions of the collective, but also acquire the necessary competencies, which the graduate will be able to implement in future professional activities. The specialist will be able to solve a variety of problems with the maximum speed, applying an unconventional approach. A large share of autonomy during the course of the training allows the student to engage in goal-setting, self-improvement, reflection, so in the future professional life, these components will not cause him difficulties.

Introduction: modern conditions of development of society cause the need for further development of the professional education connected with new requirements to the maintenance of the professional training corresponding to a certain level of development of culture, personal and professional qualities, scientific and technical development of productions reflecting character of the market relations.

Professional education is aimed at the development of professional and personal qualities, skills to navigate at the labor market, to establish professional cooperation, which ensures successful employment.

Thus, professional education is the Central link in the training of workers and specialists.

The main purpose of this article is to determine the nature and characteristics of education in vocational schools, to identify effective methods of studying the problems of educational activity.

Matherials and methods: in research theoretical and empirical methods of cognition are used: methods of the analysis of materials, the analysis of literature, the analysis of documents, the analysis of works, the analysis of orally transmitted ideas, methods of the analysis of the phenomenon of education in practice, oral polls (interviews, conversations), observations, written polls, experiment, and also complex, differentiated, integrationally-methodical, polytheistic approaches.

Result of the research: professional education is expressed in the unity of socialization and professionalization of the individual. A professionally developed personality is considered as a socially-professionally - integrative type of its orientation and efficiency.

Professional education is considered as a set of three components: personality orientation, technical processes management, management  of technological methods of activity, which determines the effectiveness of professional work. The main integrator of professional education of future workers and specialists are objective and subjective factors of personal development, mutually supporting the success of the solution of personal, professional and social-life tasks.

Universal values are of fundamental importance for professional education from the point of view of humanistic orientation, socio-economic transformations.

The system of educational values highlights civil, cultural, socio-pedagogical, professional and environmental values. The formation of these values requires the implementation of integrative and professional sociological approaches to the education of workers and specialists.

For professional activities, it is considered appropriate to create common and particular professional values, reflecting the specific occupations and activities.

Discussion and Conclusions: the essence of professional education is defined, features of methods of research of problems of professional education, the factors influencing spiritually-moral and professional development of future workers and experts are revealed.

Introduction: in the article the authors turn to the question of the development of the social competence of the teacher on the basis of media education. In the society at the present stage there are many changes concerning the sphere of education, which put forward new and higher requirements for students, teachers and the educational process. In an information society focused on innovation, the rapid introduction of technological innovations, data exchange, students of schools and universities carry out through the Internet, various social media and various information resources. They can easily receive various information that they need to be able to correctly assess and interpret, and they can easily check the information they have received from the teacher, who in this situation ceases to be the only source of knowledge. These circumstances justify the increased demands on the teacher. Trained in their professional careers and in the process of life in the modern society will need to be constantly involved in the processes of consciousness, processing, rethinking and broadcasting (transfer) media texts. For this reason, media education is of paramount importance in modern society. In the current reality, the educator must have media literacy and train the students within the framework of the media education paradigm, in order to be successful in a professional way. The authors have considered the possibility of developing social competence of a teacher on the example of a state in South-East Asia - Indonesia, since this country shows a steady growth of those who want to get a higher education.

Materials and methods: The methods of investigation were determined based on the tasks of the problem being solved. We used methods such as analysis of scientific sources, comparative analysis, a method of comparison and generalization.

Results: the carried out research has allowed to reveal essence of concept of social competence; quality of the teacher; the role of media culture in the educational process; the role of spiritual and emotional intelligence; key aspects of emotional intelligence; Characteristics of a teacher with spiritual intelligence.

Discussion and Conclusions: emotional and spiritual intelligence are interrelated with communicative ability of teachers. The social competence of the teacher in a modern, informative society, focused on innovation, in which students spend their free time with the involvement of various media, is possible in full on the platform of media education. The teacher should correspond to the time and self-improvement, be able to build literate communications in society, and also transfer skills to critically think, comprehend, create and broadcast various media texts. These qualities, in turn, will help them to fully adapt in the society and realize their professional career trajectory.

Introduction: the article deals with the problem of implementation of the competence approach in teaching mathematics in primary school. This approach is one of the conceptual foundations of the Federal state educational standard of primary General education. Competency-oriented tasks are included in the final work for the fourth grade to assess the achievement of the planned results, including the all-Russian verification work in mathematics. The aim of the study was to identify the effectiveness of the implementation of the competence approach in teaching mathematics in primary school based on the diagnosis of the level of formation of primary school graduates (pupils of 5 classes) the ability to solve competency-oriented mathematical tasks.

Materials and methods: the diagnostic technique was used, including mathematical tasks that require the use of knowledge in life situations, the presence of real ideas about the values and geometric shapes, the ability to navigate in practical situations. The texts of competency-oriented tasks are given.

Results: the data on the results of all groups of tasks and the level of formation of primary school graduates ability to solve competency-oriented mathematical tasks Revealed that the greatest difficulty is caused by tasks that require self-selection of mathematical concepts and actions for the analysis of the real situation, and tasks involving the ability to do the estimate of the result.

Discussion and Conclusions: the study showed that there are problems in the implementation of the competence approach in teaching mathematics in primary. Students have significant difficulties in solving competency-oriented tasks. The analysis of typical errors in the performance of such mathematical tasks is performed. The recommendations for primary school teachers to strengthen the practical orientation of teaching mathematics to junior schoolchildren.

Introduction: the article deals with the main components of socialization and individualization of primary school children. Modern socio-cultural society sets the vector of the updated educational policy. It is not enough for a person to increase only intellectual development, it is necessary to pay attention to the education of a thinking, interacting, responsible person who can make decisions, self-develop and independently control the achievement of goals. Therefore, the normative documents, supporting the importance of socialization and individualization of students, focus on the active inclusion of the child in the socio-cultural reality due to the specific organization of the educational space of the school. The latter, in turn, is focused, on the one hand, on the education of the qualities of consciousness, thoughtfulness, responsibility, and on the other, on the development of creativity of students, the individuality of each and the ability to interact with the surrounding world.

Materials and methods: critical selection of information (theoretical and comparative analysis of domestic and foreign literature) and integration of approaches and methods of different orientation (theoretical and empirical). The methodological basis of the study was: systemic, socio-cultural, dialectical, personalized approaches.

Results: the author defines the main components of socialization and individualization of schoolchildren, namely motivational-target, procedural and evaluative-reflexive (diagnostic); substantiates a set of conditions that contribute to the effective socialization and individualization of children, which is based on the organization of free interaction of the child with the surrounding world. The latter is considered as its progressive socialization and individualization in the process of cognition and transformation, social and cultural patterns in different types of children's activities.

The article also presents the criteria for determining the success of socialization and individualization of students: motivational, value-normative, cognitive, communicative, practice-creative.

Discussion and conclusions: the proposed components of socialization and individualization of students and the described conditions of their successful implementation can be used by teachers of the school as key reference points in the implementation of educational activities.

Introduction: the article is devoted to modern methods of learning outcomes assessment. As the authors of the article show, recently the evaluation of learning outcomes is inextricably linked with the quality of education provided by an educational institution. It is noted that today there is no single interpretation of the concept “quality of education”. Due to the introduction of a competence-based approach, graduates now form not just a certain amount of knowledge and skills, but the ability to use it, to apply the experience gained in practice, so modern assessment should be fundamentally new and different from traditional methods.

Materials and methods: the article identifies the features of the competency assessment system. The basic provisions of the assessment methodology were established and on their basis we identified the components of the model model of the automated assessment of professional competencies. Identified principles for constructing a competency assessment model

Results: the article analyzes the existing modern assessment tools. Among them, the methods characteristic of the authentic approach were singled out, as well as the advantages of using the electronic platform Moodle for the evaluation procedure. A new system for assessing the quality of the educational process, a point-rating system for evaluating the results of the work of the trainer, is being considered.

Discussion and Conclusions: The article discusses existing tools and technologies for assessing learning outcomes, which have many advantages and their combined use makes it possible to simplify the assessment process as much as possible, to make it more convenient and intensive. The proposed recommendations for the evaluation of educational results favor not only the correct assessment of the results of the educational process, but also the ongoing monitoring of the development of professional competencies.

Introduction. This article is devoted to the problem of psychological well-being of future psychologists in the context of their personality development at the stage of University training and primary entry into the profession. The authors substantiate the need to experience the psychological well-being of the subjects of helping activities, which include professional psychologists and, accordingly, the relevance of the study of the features of the manifestation of this phenomenon during the development of students of universities the basics of psychological assistance, taking into account the severity of their professionally important personal characteristics. Special emphasis is placed on the structure of psychological well-being, represented by the six components, and on its overall level.

Materials and methods. A comparative analysis of the General level and the main components of psychological well-being, as well as the degree of machiavellianism and tolerance to uncertainty among students-psychologists, practicing psychologists and students of other areas of training is carried out. Features of experience of psychological well – being by students-future psychologists with different degree of expression of tolerance to uncertainty and machiavellianism are studied.

Results. The data obtained confirm the assumption that, unlike practicing psychologists and students of other areas of training for psychology students are characterized, first, lower rates, both for most of the main components, and the overall level of psychological well-being, and secondly, there is a greater tendency to deliberate manipulation of other people. At the same time, it is established that there are statistically significant differences in a number of components of psychological well – being of students-future psychologists with varying degrees of tolerance to uncertainty and machiavellianism, most of which are stated in favor of the subjects, tolerant to uncertainty and not prone to manipulation.

Discussion and Conclusions. According to the results of the study identified some problem areas relating to the personal resources of students psychologists in terms of their readiness to help activities.

Introduction: in the article, joint attention is considered as the most important mechanism for coordinating joint actions. The ontogeny of the ability to attract the joint attention of another person to solve group problems is analyzed. The role of joint attention in providing coordinated model of behavior is considered, depending on the common intention that the participants of joint actions have. It is shown that the mapping of the role of the development of basic ideas about the mental world of other people in preschool children in coordination cooperation is acute. The question is raised about the development of the ability of preschool children to create a generalized interpsychic context of shared knowledge and to combine the focus of joint attention.

Materials and methods: on a sample of preschool children from 4 to 5 years old, a comparative analysis of children with different levels of ability to identify intention and the basic mental model was carried out. The manifestations of group interaction in the experimental situation of joint search and complex problem solving are compared.

Results: the conducted research allowed to consider the phenomenon of coordinated attention in the situation of joint search among preschool children. It is revealed that combining focuses of attention allow children to be more successful in searching precisely in the presence of group potential. It is the child's ability to coordinate, switch his attention and share his experience with other children, that allows him to be more effective in situations of social learning and exchange. This common focus of attention not only allows children to communicate, but also contributes to the development of social and cognitive skills.

Introduction: in the process of training specialists in various fields of activity, one of the strategic directions is the education of persons with disabilities. The main task is to make higher education more “sensitive” towards students with disabilities. To give them more freedom of choice, based primarily on the desire of students to get an interesting profession for themselves. One of the main activities on this path is the elimination of all kinds of barriers in education, based on the use of information and communication technologies. Multipurpose use of computer equipment in working with students with HIA allows the introduction of the main classical didactic principles for the implementation of the process of training and education (science, systematic and consistent, conscientiousness and strength of training, students' activity principles and use of visual aids), and also increase the effectiveness of the principle of accounting for age and individual characteristics of students. In the conditions of professional activity in educational organizations, there is a tendency towards the request of high-performance computing means - personal computers (PCs), workstations united by telecommunications computer networks, and the organization faces the problem of choosing the priority of investment. The question is to be asked which information technology object is more priority for the formation of an electronic educational environment. At the same time, on the one hand, it makes sense to make an assumption about investing in technological equipment, the physical deterioration of which (in many cases - extreme) and obsolescence contribute to the deterioration of the quality of the organization of educational activities, its technological capabilities and appreciation. On the other hand, scientific and technical progress offers new solutions and functionalities in the form of modern information technologies (IT). However, in order to achieve maximum  IT, monitoring and evaluation of the computing power of the PC is necessary. In this regard, the goal of the research is to conduct a monitoring analysis of the effectiveness of professional computers and system requirements for the timely identification of obsolete personal computers and forecasting the potential life of personal computers in an educational organization to determine the readiness of a university to create and maintain an inclusive educational environment.

Materials and methods: for monitoring the effectiveness of professional computers and system requirements for the organization of the electronic educational environment of the university in terms of educational inclusion, the educational process was divided into three areas: "Engineering graphics", "Programming" and "Computer Science". Within each area, a reference software product was identified - the product that is most often used in this area of study and / or the most costly in terms of resources consumed. For the “Engineering graphics” specialty, the reference product was “AutoCAD”, for the “Programming” specialty - “Microsoft Visual Studio”, for the “Informatics” specialty - “Microsoft Office”.

Results: Forecasting in our study is presented as the construction of a trend line (a graph of a prediction function). Using this function, approximate ratings of software products of subsequent versions were calculated, which made it possible to track the physical and moral obsolescence of classrooms.

Discussion and Conclusions: long-term experience of using information technologies in the learning process proves the readiness of an educational organization to effectively create an inclusive educational environment, with the goal of developing successful socialization and professional development in students with disabilities.

Introduction: the need for study of the actual state of professional activity motivation of higher education teachers is determined by the growing social role of university teachers in the development of modern society. However, it is noted in some research papers that currently university teachers are in the most difficult position, which is caused by the decrease of social and public recognition of the value of the profession, the staff deficit, staff aging and turnover. As a special problem, the crisis of motivation and professional identity in the sphere of higher education stands out alongside with the significant complication of the work of teachers of modern higher education. In these conditions, the main task is to develop and implement fundamentally new, effective management policy aimed at attracting, retaining and motivating highly qualified scientific and pedagogical personnel. The starting point for solving this problem should be a diverse study of the motivation of the work of the modern teacher of the university.

Materials and Methods: the article presents a set of methods that provide diverse assessment of the current state of motivation of teachers at the university: the questionnaire "Motivation of the professional activity" (K. Zamfir), a questionnaire for identifying factors that stimulate and impede the teaching, development and self-development of teachers (Shamov), a questionnaire to study the motivation of the professional activity of the university teacher (E.G. Gutsu)

Results: the results of the pilot study of the motivation of the teachers at the university are presented. The presentation of teachers about the factors that stimulate and impede professional development, the subjective perception by teachers of the changes taking place in higher education is revealed.

Introduction: the purpose of this article is to highlight the main difficulties and paradoxes, which connected with the time reversibility and also to research their solutions in the context of philosophy and natural science. The article focus is the main philosophical and scientific ideas of this problem of XX-XXI centuries.

Materials and Methods: the base of this article is various developments of Russian and foreign researchers, who researched problem of the time reversibility with different approaches. The main chosen methods are critical analysis of the researched materials and the attempt on this base to synthesize identified contradictions and their solutions.

Results: the interim result of this article is the statement that time reversibility is not logically controversial, but it is improbable. It was also noticed that the definition of time reversibility and the definition of time are a problem, therefore the possibility to speak about existing in nature or non-existing of the phenomenon depends on the researcher’s point of view.

If we assume the possibility of time reversibility there appear a few paradoxes, which are Gibbs’ paradox, time’s multiplicity, causality leap, dead grandfather paradox.

Not only philosophers and scientists were interested in those paradoxes, but also science-fiction writers who offered their own solutions. Today the Edinburg University philosophers and particularly A. Richmond are dealing with the problem, they also created the new direction of the philosophy named time travel philosophy. Richmond’s, his predecessors’ and Russian and foreign colleagues’ developments are presented in the paper; the attempt to find the contradictions in their approaches and the ways of its resolving has been also made.

Discussion and conclusions: the main contradictions concerning the time reversibility are not ultimately resolved and still exist as a field for further discussion.
