1 822
Abstract
Introduction. The problem of creating pedagogical conditions for the formation of a team building system is one of the relevant areas in modern education. This issue is especially relevant in modern socio-economic conditions that require teamwork to create new technologies.
Materials and methods. As the main methods, we used the analysis of sources on the studied problem, including normative documents, scientific articles on the research topic, as well as generalization and systematization of the data obtained. An expert assessment of the ability of graduate students to organize and manage teams was carried out.
Results. Graduate students in the learning process when performing practice-oriented tasks performed various team roles. In the process of practical training in an educational organization, students created teams of students for project activities. As a result of mathematical and statistical processing of the obtained results of the expert assessment according to the criteria of team building using the Chi-square at p <0.01 and p <0.05, the following differences were revealed. Statistically significant differences were identified by the criteria of the ability to distribute social roles, powers between team members and the ability to ensure team cohesion. Only satisfaction from group membership and participation in the achievement of a common goal was not defined as significantly different. The latter result means that a more significant sample of students is needed in a further study, or an adjustment of the process of teaching graduate students to the principles of team building in matters of joint research is required.
Discussion and Conclusions. The reliability of the effectiveness of the implementation of vocational training in the system of practice-oriented tasks for teaching students the principles of team building has been established. As a result, students of pedagogical magistracy formed the skills of team building and mastery of the technology of forming teams of students for project activities.

Abstract

Introduction. Contemporary Russian studies about the traditional Russian family often describe it as being in a state of crisis. According to researchers, this crisis is defined by a decrease in registered marriages and corresponding increase in unmarried cohabiting couples; a rise in extramarital births; a rise in divorces; and a trend towards families with few children. Current statistics show that around 70% of families in the Russian Federation fall apart, and that the number of registered marriages is going down. In many respects, these changes are linked to the transformation of parenthood in Russian society over the past 100 years, which occurred due to various social and historical phenomena. These include; the emancipation of women and their consequent contributions to politics and the economy, which was accompanied by a shift in the distribution of reproductive and productive labour in married couples; the development of state childcare, and changes to the legal status of a child and their role in the family structure. Transformations in the institute of the family can therefore be viewed not as indicators of crisis, but rather as a logical remodelling, in response to changes in social, economic and political areas of public life.

Materials and methods. The following methods were used for the preparation of this article; theoretical analysis of Russian and international literature, study of scientific articles and publications on the topic, overview of results from Russian and international studies, content analysis.

Results. Changes in child-parent relations throughout historical development of the family institute in different societies (specifically within Russia); special characteristics of the modern Russian family and its distinctive features; comparison of these features with those which are typical for families in developed countries.

Discussion and conclusion. The phenomena in the Russian family system, which contemporary researchers often describe as crisis indicators are, to a great extent, simply replications of typical trends in developed countries. These phenomena are part of global changes in public life.  However, the Russian system is nonetheless unique, with its own legacy of social, economic and cultural
characteristics, and child-parent relations.

Abstract
Introduction. The article presents the results of a study of socio-intellectual characteristics of Koreans living in Russia. The relevance of the study is due to: firstly, the development of relations between the Republic of Korea (hereinafter - the ROK) with Russia, the historical and geographical foundations of interstate alliance between the ROK and Russia, the expansion of cooperation in various fields and the demand for the Russian language among Koreans; secondly, a significant lack of scientific data on the problem of social intelligence among Koreans living on the territory of another country.
Materials and methods. To study the features of the manifestation of social intelligence, the method of N.F. Kalina's “Diagnosis of Social Intelligence of Personality” (SOINT-1,2) and J. Guildford's test “Social Intelligence” were used; to assess communicative and organizational skills, the method of V.V. Sinyavsky and V.A. Fedoroshina "Communicative and organizational inclinations" (COI) was used. The survey sample of the study included 200 Koreans having stayed in Russia for less than 1 year and over 5 years, aged 20 to 46, the average age being 29 years old.
Results. The comparative analysis showed the presence of significant differences in the level of social intelligence in terms of the characteristics: the ability to give up leadership, the tendency for striving to adapt to a partner, taking into account mutual likes and dislikes when selecting employees, self-control in communication, and the ability to recognize the structure of interpersonal situations in dynamics among Koreans having lived in Russia for over 5 years than Koreans having lived in Russia for less than 1 year.
Discussion and Conclusions. The revealed differences in the level of social intelligence may be due to the degree of acculturation and age characteristics of respondents, which is determined by the specific features of the Korean mentality.

Abstract

Introduction. Today, the problem of the formation of intelligence is quite relevant. This relevance is dictated by the significant fragmentation of the social, when differences begin to be valued more than commonality, and «small-town morality» substitutes public morality. This actualizes the issues of not only the formation of intelligence itself, but also of the value-based attitude to it as a social need. The article provides a profound research of the psychological and pedagogical conditions for the formation of the value-based attitude of future officers to professional activities in the educational process on the basis of theoretical and empirical author's development.

Materials and Methods. The authors use a creatively interpreted system-activity approach as the research methodology (I.V. Blauberg, V.A. Lektersky, V.N. Sadovsky, S.L. Rubinshtein, M.S. Kagan, N.V. Kuzmina) and functional analysis (P.K. Anokhin, M.S. Kagan, N. Wiener, N.V. Martyanov). Revealing the features of pedagogical activity in the formation of the value-based attitude of a future officer to intelligence, the educational process of a military university and its formal-substantive and functional characteristics are analyzed in detail.

Results. The result of the study is that the authors identified and justified the psychological and pedagogical conditions for the formation of a value-based attitude to the intelligence of future officers in the military educational institution of higher education.

Discussion and Conclusions. Along with traditional methods and practices of personality formation and intellectuality, the revealed psychological and pedagogical conditions will fully and most effectively allow to solve the psychological and pedagogical tasks that have been set. Researching psychological characteristics of educational and upbringing processes in a military educational establishment as well as the ways of increasing its effectiveness in the process of value based attitude of future officers to intellectuality will allow us to use it practically in these processes. Theoretical revealing and argumentation and the further empirical verification will allow to define the validity of the proposed scientific hypothesis.
