Introduction: The entry of theology into the educational sphere of modern Russia should already be considered as an accomplished fact, the fact is both academic and legal. Theology is included in the nomenclature of specialties of academic scientists of the Russian Federation, the passport of a scientific specialty is approved, in particular, "Orthodox Theology" (specialty code: 26.00.01), the work is in progress to open the corresponding dissertation council. In 48 higher educational institutions of the country, structural subdivisions of higher education institutions were opened, aimed at implementing teaching in this area.

A preliminary analysis of the existing master’s degree programs in theology showed that most of them are aimed at training theologians, religious scholars, art historians, experts, educators, teachers, counselors, social specialists, church officials, etc.

This article substantiates the relevance of introducing an alternative master's degree program in theology, developed at the Department of Philosophy and Theology at Minin University. The peculiarity of the program is that it does not give up the specifics of religious studies and the philosophy of religion that should be present in theological education, being its base. It is aimed at developing undergraduate competencies of research activities based on fundamental theological knowledge, the level and content of which is set by the development of science and technology of modern society. In addition, the program provides for the solution of three main problems caused by contradictions in the culture of the modern information society: 1) formation of the axiological subsystem of the culture of the modern young scientist based on traditional Christian values; 2) training of theologians who are able to participate in the development and teaching of theological disciplines at various levels and forms of education (supplementary, vocational, continuous, etc.); 3) integration of secular and religious education based on the research activities of the university.

Materials and methods: in the course of writing the article, empirical and theoretical methods of research on these problems were used, in particular: a dialysis method, a synthesis of practical learning experience, an analysis of educational and methodical and scientific literature, a method of historical comparison, a prognostic method.

Results: an analysis of existing master's degree programs in theology revealed that it is necessary to develop concepts for this type of education based on the integration of secular and religious education, rather than pushing out one another. The proposed model of the Master’s degree program in Theology and the “Orthodox Theology” training profile, which has been introduced at Minin University since 2019, is built on this principle. Its introduction is relevant because it is aimed at solving the main problems caused by the contradictions of modern information culture in society.

Discussion and conclusions: taking into consideration the development trends of Russian society in general and the sphere of domestic education in particular, the tendencies to an ever greater “turn” in the direction of traditional religious values can be traced. In this regard, the Russian pedagogical community is experiencing the need to train qualified personnel who professionally combine pedagogical methods and research competencies related to theological issues. It is necessary to continue working to increase the number of specialists, in particular, at the level of the magistracy, who are able not only to orient themselves in the basics of world religions, but also to professionally train these competencies the future young teachers who are able to instill in the younger generation basic moral values, to conduct promising research and development educational activities that meet the requirements of the information society.

Introduction: The article is devoted to the use of e-learning as a form of implementation of innovations in the university, which allows to improve the quality of education through the use of rapidly growing world educational resources and due to the fact that the use of e-learning elements and distance learning technologies increases the share of independent work of students in mastering the material . As the author of the article shows: in recent years, global changes have occurred in the modern higher education of the Russian Federation. They were caused by the new demands of the state and society, as well as innovations in the country's economy. In modern higher education there is a need for the development of innovations and their continuous improvement.

Materials and methods: the article developed the question of the introduction of e-learning in higher education. For this, the problems of creation, development and dissemination of pedagogical innovations were considered. Identified various aspects of studying the problems of education, which reveal the positive impact of information technology on the education system. The definition of innovation in the vocational education system is given as a result of practical and theoretical research, various developments in the field of vocational education, which lead to an increase in its effectiveness.

Results: The article analyzes the use of electronic courses in the electronic educational environment of the university, which showed that the teacher’s readiness to use the electronic environment has increased significantly.

Discussion and Conclusions: the article discusses the existing tools and technologies for the application of innovative teaching methods that have many advantages and their joint use makes it possible to simplify the learning process as much as possible, to make it more convenient and intensive. The electronic courses developed by university teachers in the electronic environment allow to improve the level of development and the quality of education of students in general.

Introduction: the main purpose of this article is to determine the state of vocational education at the time of the start of forecasting, to study its development in the previous period and to highlight features and main trends of this development, which allows us to characterize the prognostic development of vocational education under the influence of external factors.

Materials and Methods: the pedagogical research used analytical and synthetic prognostic methods, methods of modeling and extrapolation, methods of expert evaluation, methods of theoretical analysis, generalization and evaluation of fact systems. In the forecasting of vocational education, the principle of dialectic unity of analysis and synthesis is implemented.

Results: analysis of the dynamics of vocational education allows us to distinguish two different periods of development: 1) 1920-1958. - stage of unstable behavior, characteristic for the formation of the system; 2) 1959 - 1986 - the stage of development, characterized by the constant complexity of the system, an increase in the component composition, focus on achieving the goal.

These factors make it possible to single out periods of development of vocational education in such a way that each includes either a “rise” or a “recession” in terms of the output of workers from vocational schools.

Thus, the dynamics of the development of vocational education allows us to distinguish the following stages: Stage 1 - 1921 - 1925; Stage 2 - 1926 - 1932; Stage 3 - 1933 - 1940; Stage 4 - 1941 - 1948; Stage 5 - 1949 - 1953; Stage 6 - 1954 - 1958; Stage 7 - 1959 - 1965; Stage 8 - 1966 - 1975; Stage 9 - 1976 - 1986; Stage 10 - 1990 - the beginning of the XXI century.

Discussion and Conclusions: a retrospective analysis of the development of vocational education in Russia has been carried out, the main periods of vocational education development have been identified, due to the development of various types of industries (mechanized, industrial, scientific and industrial), and features of vocational education during these periods. Selected factors affecting the training of future workers.

Introduction: the problem of diagnostics of the quality of education at a higher education institution is becoming increasingly relevant in the conditions of the need to fulfill the criteria for the effectiveness of higher education institutions, the introduction of new generation standards in higher education institutions and the modernization of the educational program management system. Diagnostics of the quality of education is considered as an important process that ensures a steady position of the university in the educational services market, the  growth of indicators for the admission campaign,  the increase of reputational capital. Diagnostics of the quality of education makes it possible to identify significant factors in determining the prospects for the development of a university, having a significant impact on the performance indicators of a university and characterizing the results achieved and the resources used.

Materials and Methods: the article discusses the system for the quality of education evaluation at Minin University, it describes its key components, reveals the elements of the diagnostic complex and their systemic interconnection. The characteristics of the elements of the diagnostic complex describes in detail the issue of improving the efficiency of the university in terms of the implementation of the management model of the main professional educational programs, the description of the diagnostic procedure for each category of participants in the educational process is presented.

Results: the author describes the methodology and the main stages of diagnosing the quality of education at the university using the example of  Minin University, gives integrated assessment criteria and their relationship with other elements of the monitoring system and evaluating the quality of education at the university, lists the effects of introducing a comprehensive system for diagnosing the quality of educational activities.

Discussion and Conclusions: in the final part of the article, the possibilities of further improving the system of assessment of the quality of education in the educational system of higher education are considered. Arguments about the need to further expand the range of issues raised by the diagnostic process are made; the ratio of the existing positions of the university to the requirements of the legislation is made.

Introduction: in the article the family environment as a basis of physical, moral and intellectual development of the child and also preservation, strengthening of physical and mental health is considered. Results of diagnostic testing regarding the relation of parents of school students to a healthy lifestyle as a factor of wellbeing of the children are presented; influence of family on formation at children of the sensual and esthetic, informative, rational and consumer relations to the nature and a responsible attitude to the health. The article purpose is to prove that the family environment plays a huge role in preservation and promotion of health and formation of a healthy lifestyle of the child.

Materials and methods: in the course of research activity the analysis of scientific literature on the problem of family education, the family environment, educational potential of family and socialization of the child is carried out. The diagnostic techniques including testing, questioning, the questionnaire, mutually estimation and also pedagogical observation and use of results of educational potential of family in pedagogical activity are used. The mathematics and statistics analysis allowed to generalize the obtained data of diagnostic work. The research is conducted on the basis of boarding school №8 of the Kopeisk city district of Chelyabinsk region and the Southern Ural state humanitarian and pedagogical University.

Results: The study gives evidence that the influence of family on raising the children with sensual and esthetical, informative and rational attitude to the nature is the key to their moral and mental health. Scientific ideas of the family environment are expanded, author's definition of the key concept "family environment" is given and its uniqueness at the initial stage of socialization of future citizen of the country is emphasized. The main components of educational potential of family among which parental installations possess a powerful incentive for promotion of influence of the family environment on preservation and promotion of health of children are characterized. Results of the conducted diagnostic testing are described.

Discussion and Conclusions: it is emphasized that the family environment is capable of making the foundation of a responsible attitude to the health of the children and promotes preservation and promotion of health, formation of self-preservation behavior.

The conclusion is drawn that cognitive, behavioral, moral, ethical components of the family environment are necessary for forming of the positive relations of parents and their children. The family environment is a basis for socialization of the child and formation of a healthy lifestyle, self-preservation behavior.

Introduction: the article is devoted to the study of the motor sphere of preschoolers with mental retardation. The issues of complex diagnostics of physical development, motility and psychomotor children of children with mental retardation in comparison with their normally developing peers are considered. Disorders of motor development of preschool children with mental retardation are not clearly expressed, but, to a large extent, are the cause of their lag in cognitive, verbal, and social development. Special motor disorders of these children are most often the result of early intrauterine minimal organic lesions of the central nervous system. In the early stages of development of such children, disorders of muscle tone are observed, pathological tonic reflexes take place, all stages of motor development in infancy are delayed evenly. The combination of these three components results in special disturbances, which are characterized as motor ones. In children with minimal organic pathology, quite often, especially in children with mental retardation, the frontal brain regions are formed very slowly, namely, they are responsible for creating an action program and monitoring it. n this case, the child is not able to build a scheme of the motor act, does not understand what should be the movement. The reason for the difficulties in this case is not a violation of muscle tone, but a disturbance in the cerebral cortex: the child does not understand how to perform the action. In this case, there is a psychomotor disorder. These two groups of motor disorders in children with mental retardation determine the two systems of work to overcome them. There is a third group of disorders - a mixed form, when a child has both motor and psychomotor disorders. The direction of work to overcome motor disorders in children with mental retardation will depend on the nature of the disorders: motor, psychomotor, and mixed. Thus, motor developmental disorders of children with mental retardation may have a different nature, it is necessary to carefully study the characteristics of the motor sphere of these children and implement a differentiated approach to overcoming its disadvantages.

Results of the research: the article presents the results of the study of the motor and psychomotor functions of preschoolers with mental retardation, indicators of their health and physical development. A comparative experimental study of the characteristics of the motor sphere of preschoolers with mental retardation and their peers who attend mass groups of the kindergarten allowed to draw some conclusions about the specific shortcomings of the motor development of children with mental retardation. Most children with mental retardation have quite serious impairments in their state of health, are lagging in physical development: they have disproportions in their height and weight, reduced muscle strength in their hands, and insufficient lung capacity. Motor skills do not meet age norms: speed and power characteristics of movements, dexterity and coordination abilities are most reduced. Indicators of psychomotor development, especially the dynamic and spatial organization of movements, are lower than those of peers who attend mass groups in kindergarten. These deficiencies are the result of early organic damage to the central nervous system or its functional immaturity. As a result of studying the state of motor skills of children according to N.I. Ozeretsky revealed some important facts: when performing certain tests (for simultaneity of movements, speed of movements, dynamic coordination of movements) and children with mental retardation, and children from large groups showed equally poor results. This indicates a general trend of deterioration of the motor development of modern children, especially those living in the megalopolis. As part of the neuropsychological research, three groups of children with mental retardation in terms of the development of movements and actions were identified, which can serve as the basis for the implementation of a differentiated approach during remedial work. The application of the method of age cuts allowed to conclude that there is a certain positive age dynamics in the formation of motor and psychomotor children with mental retardation, but there is a difference in the sensitive periods of motor skills formation in children with mental retardation and children with normal development. If in normally developing children, at the age of five, the basic motor skills are practically formed, then in children with mental retardation they are formed only by six to seven years and later.

Discussion and conclusions: the article proposed a diagnostic program for studying the characteristics of the motor sphere of preschoolers with mental retardation. Comprehensive diagnostics of the motor development of children with mental retardation is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of children in the organization of physical education and to implement a differentiated approach in physical education and other motor exercises. Based on the characteristics of the contingent of children with mental retardation, the following system for diagnosing motor development was proposed: an individual assessment of the physical development and functional state of the organism of children of preschool age; assessment of children's physical fitness; study of children's motility using metric tests N.I. Ozeretsky; study of the characteristics of the psychomotor development of children using neuropsychological tests for the study of movements and actions adapted for preschool children with mental retardation. Thus, a combination of qualitative and quantitative assessment of psychological and pedagogical data on the level of development of the child’s motility, dynamic observation and comprehensive neuropsychological research allows most accurately and fully assess the overall psychophysical development of the child, the state of his motility and psychomotor system, predict future development and determine the best ways psychological and pedagogical correction.

Introduction: orientation to the international cooperation in the context of carrying out missions on providing national and common security, integration of actions at struggle with terrorism transform requirements revealed to the military specialists professional training and determine the National Guard troops need for servicemen who know the international language and able to perform service and fighting missions up to the world standard. The potential of foreign language learning can implemented to the full extent and contributed greatly to the future military specialist personality development, if foreign language training is based on cadet’s foreign language formation. So cadet’s foreign language formation is the means to increase professional training effectiveness. It is the factor influencing  the future officer’s  readiness to integration to the international professional community.

Materials and methods: study and survey of scientific literature, generalization of domestic and foreign experience on the theme, conversation with cadets and their direct commanders, overseeing the cadets’ independent work organization on foreign language learning permit to conclude the following. Cadets do not possess foreign language independence and demonstrate low capability to carry out their independent work. It is demonstrated in difficulties with their independent foreign language activities planning. Future officers are not able to set a goal, determine work stages, distribute time for their reasonable performing, choose means and ways, control. The purpose of methodic experiment is to detect and approve effective means of foreign language formation in the conditions of systematic and goal-oriented independent work organization.

Results: as the result of conducted experiment a methods of foreign language formation is developed and approved. The methods developed in the course of studies are an algorithm of education that includes some structured blocks. They are the goal setting block, the theoretical block, the technological block and the assessment block.

Discussion and Conclusions: in the course of methodical experiment positive effect of systematically organized independent work on future officers’ foreign language independence formation is approved. Quantitative indicators of foreign language independence formation, received in the course of the experiment, are approved in real qualitative changes demonstrated by cadets. Overseeing cadets at the education process and communication with them prove practical independence using that resulting in future officers’ capability to organize their independent work in the context of foreign language learning. Cadets employ formed foreign language independence at lessons and extracurricular classes. With the foundation on theoretical and practical development on cadet’s foreign language independence formation it is possible to revise the system of foreign language teaching and change it according to the social and governmental order.

Introduction: the article presents the results of the research of the structure of motivation of civic activity of adolescents at different stages of the formation of civic consciousness. Civil identity is a stable basis of civil society and has the strategic importance for the successful future of the Russian state. In modern conditions authoritarian principles of socialization institutions are no longer acceptable. It is necessary to look for ways of formation of civil activity through mechanisms of internal motivation of the person.

Materials and methods: the author's questionnaire was used to determine the status of civil identity of adolescents. To determine the motivation of civic activity, the method of identifying the motivational structure of socially useful activities of a teenager developed by O. V. Lishin on the basis of the LMT test by V. Hennig was used. The mathematical analysis of structural connections between motives was carried out by means of calculation of coefficients of rank correlation of Spearman.

The results of the research: the following features of changes in the motivation of civil activity in the transition from lower status of civil identity (diffuse and assigned) to a higher (achieved): there is a decrease in the integration between individual motives and, accordingly, a decrease in their activity in the mechanisms of regulation of civil behavior; correlation between group motives reflect the dynamics of changes in the perception of high school students of the social environment as part of civil society; the integration of social motives and their differentiation in relation to motives of other types is revealed; there is a reduction and change in the content of correlations between motives of different types, which gives different meanings to the manifestation of civil activity at different levels of formation of civil identity.

Discussion and conclusions: in the process of formation of civic consciousness in the transition from the lower status of civic identity (diffuse and assigned) to a higher (achieved) there is a change in the content of structural ties of motives and differentiation of the structure of motivation of civic activity of adolescents.

Introduction: modernization of Russian education is the central task of Russian educational policy. One of its distinctive features is the transition from the teaching and educational to the scientific and educational process, which allows the introduction of students' research work into it. A feature of the work of a practicing physician is the ability to analyze his own activities from a scientific point of view, knowledge and ability to work with methods of clinical research. Based on this, changes were made to the legislation, and in accordance with the Federal Standards2016 in the specialty of “Medicine”, a graduate who has mastered the program in his specialty should have professional competences that, along with competences in the field of medical activity, include competencies in research activities. Also, in accordance with the Federal Law of 21.11.2011 No. 323-FZ “Concerning the Basics of Citizen Health Protection in the Russian Federation”, a new system of continuous medical and pharmaceutical education was introduced, being aimed at continuous improvement of professional knowledge and skills throughout the entire working period of medical workers as well as the acquisition in practice of new professional skills.

Psychological readiness of students for professional activity is a question that has been discussed by the scientific community for quite a long period of time. The structure of this construct has also been repeatedly discussed by many authors, but there is no consensus on this issue. The article presents the points of views of various scientists on the problem of readiness for research activities. The structure is proposed, which is a synthesis of several components: motivational, operational, and reflexive-evaluative ones. Many scientists studied this issue both Russian and foreign ones (L.S. Vygotsky, E.P. Ilyin, A.N. Leontyev, A.N. Poddyakov, E.A. Shashenkova, Zier K. Rosenberg I.E., Dantas J.B., Ley T.J., Rosenberg I.E., Solomon S.S., Tom S.C. et al.) Special attention is paid to the motivational component of psychological readiness for the research activities of future doctors. The problem of the necessity to develop this component is being actualized.

Materials and methods: 76 students of the 1^st course of the medical and pediatric faculties of thePrivolzhskyResearchMedicalUniversity were randomly selected for this study. The study was carried out in 3 stages: diagnostic, training, final diagnostic. At the initial and final stages 2 diagnostic procedures were used. The first one is the methodics for diagnosing the motives of students' learning activities according to A.A. Rean and V.A. Yakunin modified by N.Ts. Badmaeva. In this method, there are seven grading scales: scale 1 "Communicative motives"; scale 2 “Motives for avoiding failure”; scale 3 "Motives of prestige"; scale 4 "Professional motives"; scale 5 "Motives for creative self-realization"; scale 6 "Educational and cognitive motives"; scale 7 "Social motives". 2) Methods of studying the motivation of learning in the university by T.I. Ilyin ". The method presents three scales: “the acquisition of knowledge” (the desire to acquire knowledge, curiosity); “Mastering a profession” (striving to master professional knowledge and form professionally important qualities); "Obtaining a diploma" (the desire to acquire a diploma in the formal assimilation of knowledge, the desire to find workarounds for exams and tests).

The results of the study: statistical results before and after the training in the framework of English language classes at the medical university demonstrate changes in the motivational field of students.

Discussion and conclusions: the implementation of a collective training program in foreign language classes with the aim of the motivational component development to research activities of students at a medical university can be considered as an effective tool for the development of psychological readiness for further professional medical activity. It emphasizes the need for an integrated approach to solving this problem.

Introduction: the implementation of the National Strategy for the Development of Education in the Russian Federation requires generalization of the experience gained with working with the family; development of new forms, methods, methods and technologies of work with parents (legal representatives) of children of different ages; consolidation of efforts of various civil society institutions and agencies at the federal, regional and municipal levels. The relevance of this article is also determined by a number of contradictions that prove the importance of the problem under consideration, the need to develop and introduce into practice a model of psychological and pedagogical follow-up for positive parenthood, among them: b) there is a weak differentiation of the image “I am a mother”, i.e. on the one hand, motherhood is recognized as a value, on the other hand, a low reflective level of motherhood is found; c)  modern studies do not provide sufficient information on the  questions on the psychology of parenthood; about the father’s role in the family, his influence on the formation of the child’s personality, the significance of fatherhood for the man himself.

Materials and methods: The research methods of this article are determined by the specifics of the research topic. The article uses methods of theoretical research (analysis, synthesis, synthesis, comparison, etc.), the study of well-known research papers on the problem under consideration; psychological modeling (building a model of psychological and pedagogical follow-up of positive parenthood).

Results: Nowadays, domestic and foreign psychological and pedagogical science and practice provide many different kinds of models of work with the family, which are grouped into three subgroups: models of support and follow-up; tracking models; combined models.

Discussion and Conclusions. The conducted research within the framework of the ideologies under review has defined conceptual provisions that allowed creating a model of working with parents (legal representatives) of children, influencing the increase in the general culture level of parents (legal representatives) and future parents in matters of children's education, development of their social, communicative and psychological-pedagogical competence; actualization of the need to “become adoptive parents”; increase the professional competence of professionals working with the family.

Introduction: the article presents the results of the study of diagnostic competence of undergraduates studying in the master's degree in the specialty of special (defectological) education. The content of diagnostic activity of the modern teacher-defectologist and the structure of diagnostic competence are considered. The variative multi-level readiness of master's students of the first year of study to master the content of diagnostic activities for the examination of persons with disabilities is revealed.

Materials and methods: the study of the readiness of undergraduates of the first year of study for diagnostic activities was carried out with the help of special tests developed by a team of teachers of the Department of special pedagogy and special psychology to assess the knowledge and skills of students in the direction of "Special (defectological) education". In addition to the tests, the survey participants were used. The results of the survey and testing were interpreted on the basis of qualitative and quantitative approach.

The results of the study: the study identified variable groups of undergraduates with various characteristics. Variability depended on basic education, experience of previous work in correctional institution, presence of persons with various deviations in families. All participants of the experiment had a positive motivational orientation. In assessing and analyzing the level of formation of diagnostic competence, a combination of several approaches to assessing the results of the study was used.

Discussion and conclusions: diagnostic competence aimed at solving the problems of examination of children of different ages with various developmental disorders to determine the special conditions of their education and upbringing, occupies an important place in the formation of professional competence of masters of special (defectological) education. Diagnostic competence of the master of special (defectological) education has a multicomponent structure, including motivational, operational and reflexive components and can be represented at several levels of formation.

Introduction: the need to study the current state of relations of educational cooperation of younger students is determined by the increasing role of communicative universal educational activities in the development of modern society. However,  a number of studies it prove that often the life of a modern school does not provide any opportunities to use the potential resources of such an important component of the development of the student, as educational cooperation. Traditional school due to many restrictions does not always provide the possibility to build a student-centered relationship of educational cooperation in combination with a differentiated approach to younger students. Numerous studies often describe the interaction of students with adults and peers separately, that prevents making unified approaches to the child's socialization.

The initial step towards solving this problem should be the complex study of the areas of interaction and diverse study of the formation of relations of educational cooperation of younger schoolchildren

Materials and Methods: in article the diagnostic program-the complex made of the techniques giving the chance to get the idea of a modern state of development of the relations of educational cooperation in elementary school is declared. They were: a technique with the working title  “ the Carpet”, allowing to establish levels of development of skills of group interaction of younger schoolchildren in the lessons; “Sociometric research”, intended for identification of the social status of the child in children's group; “Self-esteem ladder”, designed to determine the adequacy of children's self-esteem in the sphere of business contacts of the child with classmates.

Results: the results of the study of the formation of relations of educational cooperation among younger schoolchildren with peers in a specially created innovative conditions in the context of a given procedure of learning and initiated by the child communication. The idea of teachers about the most important for younger schoolchildren’s psychological conditions of development of relations of educational cooperation is revealed.

Discussion and Conclusions: the study suggests that for the effective development of relations of educational cooperation with children it is necessary to create a special innovative learning environment, which provides a high motivational basis for younger students to achieve their goals, initiatives, independence, strengthen their social status in the group of peers, increase self-esteem.

Introduction: the phenomenon of giftedness is sufficiently studied in domestic and foreign psychology, and some features of the mental and personal development of gifted children and adolescents are studied. Particular attention is paid to the instrumental and motivational aspects of giftedness, as well as interpersonal and environmental influences. The psychological well-being of gifted adolescents rarely serves as the main subject of research.

Materials and methods: psychodiagnostic tools for studying the personal characteristics of gifted adolescents include testing using Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-being in the adaptation of L. V. Zhukovskaya and E. G. Troyshinoy, The scale of self-efficacy M. Madduks and D. Scheer in the adaptation of L.V. Boyarintseva and R.L. Krichevsky, Frankfurt scale self-concept J.M. Doisinger in the adaptation of O.E. Baitinger, Test of Hardiness Survey, S. Muddy, in the adaptation of E.N. Asina and E.I. Rasskazova, the Subjecting Structure Diagnostic Questionnaire, Ye.N. Volkova and I.A. Seregina, Integrative Anxiety Test A.P. Bizyuka, L.I. Wasserman, B.V. Iovleva. The group of authors proposed a variant of the “Unfinished sentences” methodology and a questionnaire aimed at studying the various components of attitudes towards adolescents ’own endowments and problem load.

Results: we have proposed and are testing a cross-sectional study of a methodical complex for diagnosing integrative indicators of psychological well-being, as well as such subjective factors of psychological well-being, such as attitudes toward one’s own endowments, subjectivity, hardiness, problem experiences, emotional background, self-concept and self-efficacy (components is allocated in accordance with the developed theoretical model). This complex includes both standardized and projective techniques.

Discussion and Conclusions: the research methodology created and tested during the project will contribute to the formation of a unified methodological support and centralized coordination of monitoring research on the most common personal problems among gifted adolescents, as well as the development of effective programs for the development of psychological well-being and health resources for adolescents and young people.

Introduction: the study considers the problem of observer’s status during specific quantum-mechanical experiments, in which the empirical result directly depends on the participation of the experimenter's mind. Here the problem arises of the connection between the mind of the observer and the quantum-mechanical description of physical reality. The paper pays attention to modern trends in physics and philosophy devoted to the study of this phenomenon. Some aspects of the philosophical interpretation of the mind as a quantum mechanism are presented.

Materials and Methods: the research materials demonstrate an overview of several common quantum-philosophical theories. Attempts have been made to search for the connection of quantum phenomena with the mechanisms of the functioning of human mind. The experimental background of quantum physics is demonstrated, providing material for analyzing the possibility of applying modern quantum theory to the question of identifying the relationship of the quantum approach and describing the problem of the influence of the observer’s mind on the result of a physical experiment.

Results: the concept of quantum mechanics, taking into account the latest achievements and results of physics, philosophy and psychology, allows us to consider the mind of the observer as an integral part of the mechanism responsible for the formation of the surrounding physical reality. The anthropic principle of participation considered in the work gives the observer's mind a special role allowing to form a quantum-mechanical description of physical reality.

Discussion and conclusions: it is shown that the mind of the observer plays an important role in quantum theory. Moreover, mind as a psychic phenomenon may be in fact identical with the quantum-mechanical concept of choosing an alternative. Given the fact that the brain's thought processes influence the measurement results, it can be assumed that mind changes quantum probabilities. This assumption allows us to take a different look at the concept of reality itself.
