Landau vs Einstein: mathematics represents the universe

The modern theory of gravity is the Einstein space theory, which is described by mathematical methods of tensor analysis of Riemannian geometry. Einstein built on this basis one of the most successful and amazing theories. Complexity theories often lead to the extraction of foundations and, as is customary in theory, to obtaining meaningless results. Now the entire intellectual power of numerous researchers is directed at alternative theories, often based on erroneous ideas about Einstein's theory. An example of this is the catastrophic error in the definition of the coordinate transformation in the top manual on theoretical physics by L. D. Landau and E. M. Lifshitz.

The influence of work activity on the duration and quality of life of older people (analytical review)

The problems of optimal participation in labor activity of people of older age groups are considered. The dynamics of demographic aging are characterized by duality: against the background of chronological aging, biological rejuvenation of the world's population occurs, which significantly increases human potential. We must move away from erroneous ideas about older age as a period of “sluggish living”; on the contrary, this age provides a person with the opportunity to live a highly productive life. It can be reasonably argued that the older generation today has become more mobile and socially active. Global trends in the transformation of the labor market demonstrate a gradual shift in the employment structure towards older ages. Labor is the basis for the social self-realization of older people and a condition for prolonging active life. The average life expectancy of pensioners who remain active is significantly higher than those who have stopped working. Labor is the most powerful geroprotector! Protecting the physiological state of intelligence in old age is the main task of gerontology and geriatrics. We need to be very critical of current ideas about the degradation of intelligence in old age. The process of intellectual development of a person of mental labor is fundamentally limitless - this is the main way of his existence as an individual. The level of education has a significant impact on life expectancy. People with higher levels of education have lower mortality rates and longer life expectancy. The dominant models of the social status of older people forcefully pushes the elderly person out into “well-deserved rest.” The introduction of a mandatory retirement (“disabled”) age for everyone means that the legislator declares the experience accumulated by older people to have lost social significance. This attitude is a factor in the growth of social tension and impedes the formation of social cohesion, gives rise to a social trend of age discrimination - “ageism”, which manifests itself, in particular,in difficulties in finding a job and in the reduced level of wages for older people. As a result, over the past decade, the number of working pensioners in Russia and the duration of their period of work after retirement have decreased significantly. It is necessary to create a long-term doctrine of the work activity of older people.

Значение формирования семейного образа жизни в воспитании молодежи

The article reveals the factors that negatively affect the worldview of modern youth, leveling family values and significantly reducing the popularity of the family lifestyle among the younger generation, including boys and girls brought up in Orthodox families, whose parents are not always able to instill in their children their Christian vision of the family, to form competent ideological assessments of the role of men and women in the family. An assessment of the importance of the family from the position of representatives of the Orthodox Church is given, it is shown that in the context of the educational mission of the Russian Orthodox Church, one of the directions is to strengthen the missionary orientation of parish life in the field of youth upbringing. It is possible to make up for the loss of ideas about the family way of life among young people by developing their Christian worldview and forming ideas about the family way of life in accordance with Christian commandments. At the same time, programs of educational work among young people implemented by parishes are becoming important. Based on the study of family values among high school students, it was revealed that many students cannot name the ways of showing love in the family, their attitude towards parents is consumerist, many have erroneous ideas about family roles, and the culture of family life is not a value. In order to form in high school students the ideas of an Orthodox family lifestyle, the program consisting of creative workshops with students and joint meetings with students and their parents has been implemented.

«Вторники» и «Воскресенья»: к вопросу о существовании братства «Христос и Свобода»

The article is devoted to the study of one of the main controversial points in the historiography of the largest post-revolutionary religious and philosophical association of Petrograd-Leningrad in the 1920s - "Voskresen’ya". This issue is connected with the history of the brotherhood "Hristos i Svoboda" ("Christ and Freedom"), created, according to the established historiographical tradition, at the religious and philosophical circle "Voskresen’ya". It was revealed that the only source through which we learn about the existence of this "brotherhood" are the memories of E.N. Fedotova. Other sources do not contain a word about this "brotherhood". It is not mentioned either in the investigative materials or in the memoirs of the participants of the "Voskresen’ya". Almost all researchers of the history of "Voskresen’ya" ignore this moment, and only two articles express doubts about the existence of this brotherhood, which are not supported by evidence.In this study, an attempt is made to consider this issue more closely than it was done earlier. All currently available sources on the history of religious and philosophical associations - "Vtorniki" and "Voskresen’ya" – were reviewed and analyzed. As a result of the analysis of the historiography of the issue, errors and inaccuracies existing in the works of researchers related to the history of "Vtorniki" and "Voskresen’ya" were revealed. As a result of the application of the comparative historical method, it was possible to reveal that all publications mentioning the "brotherhood" unreasonably call it the brotherhood "Hristos i Svoboda", ignoring the fact that there is no information in the source to support this judgment, since E.N. Fedotova mentions precisely the "brotherhood with the vow "Christ and Freedom", without a clear designation of its name.It was revealed that the vow "Christ and Freedom" mentioned by E.N. Fedotova really took place within the framework of the activities of the "Voskresen’ya". The combination of these words in the updated program of "Voskresen’ya" from 1928, as well as a number of other indirect facts, allowed us to draw a parallel and put a sign of identity between the brotherhood "Hristos i Svoboda" and "Voskresen’ya". On the basis of indirect signs, the fact of inaccuracies and unreliable facts in the memoirs of E.N. Fedotova, it was assumed that the message about the "brotherhood" was based on the erroneous ideas of E.N. Fedotova. Since her husband G.P. Fedotov participated in the meetings of the Brotherhood of St. Sophia in Petrograd, it remains likely that years later E.N. Fedotova could have mistakenly used the word "brotherhood" in relation to the religious and philosophical association known to us as "Voskresen’ya".

以全面从严治党夯实社会革命的政治基础

Revolutionary nature is the essential attribute of Marxist political parties, but in recent years, there have been comments on the transition from a revolutionary party to a ruling party in the social and theoretical circles, and even erroneous ideas such as “bidding farewell to revolution” and “negating revolution” have been advocated. In fact, Marxist political parties not only need to seize the revolutionary victory of political power, but also constantly carry out self- revolution and maintain the political nature of the party. Therefore, from the perspectives of political construction, ideological construction, and organizational construction, exploring the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party to consolidate the political foundation of social revolution provides fundamental guidance for our Party to consciously shoulder its historical mission, and is of great significance for strengthening the Party’s comprehensive leadership and construction.

Teaching about biodiversity from phytosociology: evaluation and conservation

In order to transform the previous erroneous ideas acquired by many of the students, a teaching outside the classroom is proposed, making the students themselves the ones who build their own knowledge from practice. Analyzing alpha, beta and gamma diversity, intrinsic alpha diversity must be measured through the characteristic species, gamma through the companion species, and beta through the gamma/alpha relationship, taking into account this relationship the lower the beta. The higher the conservation status of the community, if beta = 1 it means that there is a balance between characteristic species and companions, if beta is < 1 it means that there is a predominance of characteristic species over companions. As a result to be taken into consideration, it is observed in the inventory analysis that anthropic action is the cause of the changes in diversity, which translates into an instability of the association, being able to change one community for another. For this reason, we consider it is necessary to teach about the meaning of characteristic and companion species, since the student must know how to discern between both types of species, which leads us to learn the ecological niche of the species.

Political economy of socialism with Chinese characteristics: on the issue of intra- and interdisciplinary synthesis

Objective: to show the ontological potential of interdisciplinarity and paradigmatic pluralism in economic research by the example of the Chinese-specific socialism model and its description in Western socio-political discourse.Methods: qualitative methods (discourse analysis, comparative analysis, generalization).Results: the work shows the features of the discourse in modern economic theory regarding the problems of intra- and interdisciplinary synthesis. The economic mainstream, claiming the accuracy of its method of creating scientific knowledge, can and does become the basis of political knowledge and ideological judgments. Describing certain aspects of reality, the mainstream normalizes them, and sometimes elevates them to the rank of a rule. Based on the analysis of the Chinese model of economic reforms, the article shows that in Western socio-political and scientific discourses regarding this model, both at the stage of their beginning and now, there are erroneous ideas and expectations about the purpose, content and results of the reform process. The root cause of this false perception is, assumingly, the disciplinary isolation of economics, as economics is considered to be a universal extrapolitical and extra-cultural constant. To confirm this thesis, the main stages of the transformation of the ideology of building the Chinese economic model, its transition from an anti-market and anticapitalist position to a Chinese-specific socialism model are considered. It is shown that among the trajectories of China’s future development, Western economists and politicians saw only the two main ones: creeping liberalization and limiting the influence of the state in the Chinese economy, accompanied by democratization of the political sphere, on the one hand, and reaching the limits of economic growth possible for countries with authoritarian institutions, on the other. However, the collective action factor ignored by researchers has formed a stable growth economy, not accompanied by political liberalization.Scientific novelty: consists in comprehending the discourses about the Chinese economy as a result of the challenge posed by the Chinese reforms to mainstream political economy.Practical significance: the provisions and conclusions of the research can be further used to study the influence of economic theory on socio-political discourses and political decisions.

Challenges and Threats to the Foundations of the Constitutional Order and the Russian Statehood: Political-Legal and Criminological Aspects

The author examines the contradictions, challenges and threats to Russia’s national security that can be found in the Constitution of the Russian Federation (the RF Constitution), specifically in Art. 9, 13 and 15 of Chapter 1 and Art. 17 and 20 of the RF Constitution, as well as other normative legal acts. The author’s understanding of the causes for their emergence at the stage of developing the RF Constitution’s draft is presented. It is proven that unless eliminated, these threats could only further escalate and turn into a serious factor that counteracts the future development of Russia as an autonomous, sovereign and independent state. The author presents a political-legal and criminological analysis of these challenges and threats from the standpoint of contemporary geopolitical situation and the tasks of ensuring national security. The criminal nature of American-style globalization is uncovered, which consists in preserving the US dominance in the global processes and transition from the strategy of containing Russia to the strategy of its total destruction. The idea of the necessity to balance the interests of the person, the society and the state is put forward. According to the author, the unlimited freedom of a person in its Western interpretation contradicts the civilization code of the multinational Russian people, and leads not only to the personal social degradation of an individual, but also the degradation of the society and the state, the loss of the social role of state and law. Based on the results of the conducted research, the author concludes that it is necessary to reconsider a number of established erroneous views and ideas concerning the issues under consideration, and to exclude the norms which contain challenges and threats to Russia’s national security from the RF Constitution by adopting a new RF Constitution, as it is the only possible way to eliminate them. To ensure social justice, it is suggested that the moratorium on the death penalty should be abolished, and changes be introduced in Part 2, Art. 20 of the RF Constitution. The author presents criminal law and criminological measures aimed at counteracting the threat to national security and statehood of the Russian Federation.

The assessment of awareness about the rational use of medicines among ukrainian pharmacy students

Aim. To study the awareness of graduate pharmacy students with the concept of the “rational use of medicines” and related issues. Materials and methods. A questionnaire survey of 172 graduate students was conducted at the National University of Pharmacy. Results and discussion. Most students believe that they are clearly familiar with the concept of the “rational use of medicines”; 97.1 % of them know it from the disciplines they studied at the University. It has been found that students have both correct and erroneous ideas about the mandatory principles of the rational use of medicines; they are most aware of its clinical aspects. Not all signs of the irrational use of medicines are obvious for future pharmacists. Students possess certain skills that can be useful in promoting the rational use of medicines. However, not all acquired skills are in demand in the professional activities of pharmacists in Ukraine. 75.6% of respondents think their knowledge gained at the University is sufficient to promote the rational use of medicines. Only 48.3 % of respondents believe that Ukrainian pharmacists are sufficiently involved in promoting the rational use of medicines. Conclusions. The study has revealed the lack of awareness of some pharmaceutical students about the concept and problem of the rational use of medicines, as well as the gap between the acquired skills and their demand in professional activities. Less than half of students rate the role of pharmacists in promoting the rational use of medicines at a sufficient level. Further research will be aimed at developing measures to improve the awareness of pharmacy students with the basic concepts of the rational use of medicines, as well as expanding the participation of Ukrainian pharmacists in promoting the rational use of medicines.

The influence of professional stereotypes on professional self-determination

The article examines professional stereotypes and the choice of profession by a teenager. The points of view of domestic and foreign scientists are presented, revealing the understanding of the "professional stereotype" and its socio-psychological features. The reasons for the emergence of professional stereotypes are studied, a person's vision of social reality, the perception of a particular profession through the prism of positive or negative information received is considered. The article examines the dependence of professional stereotypes on a person's awareness of professional reality. Professional stereotypes are considered from the point of view of obtaining information through various sources and being generalized ideas about the profession. The perception of professional stereotypes by a person depending on the understanding of the type of professional activity is studied. The role of professional stereotypes in the formation of erroneous ideas of people about activities that they do not know is considered. The professional stereotype is based on obtaining subjective information about the profession and on this basis a person's attitude towards it is formed. In modern society, many professional stereotypes formed earlier are not relevant. Misconceptions in the perception of professional stereotypes hinder the understanding of the specifics of performing certain tasks by various professions, which leads to erroneous actions when choosing a profession by teenagers. Currently, professional stereotypes influence the formation of a person's beliefs in various spheres of his life, including in his professional activity.

COVID-19-Associated Misinformation Across the South Asian Diaspora: Qualitative Study of WhatsApp Messages.

South Asians, inclusive of individuals originating in India, Pakistan, Maldives, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and Nepal, comprise the largest diaspora in the world, with large South Asian communities residing in the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and elsewhere. There is evidence that South Asian communities have disproportionately experienced COVID-19 infections and mortality. WhatsApp, a free messaging app, is widely used in transnational communication within the South Asian diaspora. Limited studies exist on COVID-19-related misinformation specific to the South Asian community on WhatsApp. Understanding communication on WhatsApp may improve public health messaging to address COVID-19 disparities among South Asian communities worldwide. We developed the COVID-19-Associated misinfoRmation On Messaging apps (CAROM) study to identify messages containing misinformation about COVID-19 shared via WhatsApp. We collected messages forwarded globally through WhatsApp from self-identified South Asian community members between March 23 and June 3, 2021. We excluded messages that were in languages other than English, did not contain misinformation, or were not relevant to COVID-19. We deidentified each message and coded them for one or more content categories, media types (eg, video, image, text, web link, or a combination of these elements), and tone (eg, fearful, well intentioned, or pleading). We then performed a qualitative content analysis to arrive at key themes of COVID-19 misinformation. We received 108 messages; 55 messages met the inclusion criteria for the final analytic sample; 32 (58%) contained text, 15 (27%) contained images, and 13 (24%) contained video. Content analysis revealed the following themes: "community transmission" relating to misinformation on how COVID-19 spreads in the community; "prevention" and "treatment," including Ayurvedic and traditional remedies for how to prevent or treat COVID-19 infection; and messaging attempting to sell "products or services" to prevent or cure COVID-19. Messages varied in audience from the general public to South Asians specifically; the latter included messages alluding to South Asian pride and solidarity. Scientific jargon and references to major organizations and leaders in health care were included to provide credibility. Messages with a pleading tone encouraged users to forward them to friends or family. Misinformation in the South Asian community on WhatsApp spreads erroneous ideas regarding disease transmission, prevention, and treatment. Content evoking solidarity, "trustworthy" sources, and encouragement to forward messages may increase the spread of misinformation. Public health outlets and social media companies must actively combat misinformation to address health disparities among the South Asian diaspora during the COVID-19 pandemic and in future public health emergencies.

Bleed a little louder: Sound, silence and music torture

Music, like medicine, can be used to damage as well as to heal, and there is a long history linking music with punishment rituals, and torture. However, the common tendency to think about violence and injury in terms of physical force and visible scars means that impacts of psychological and social violence have often been downplayed, even silenced. The emphasis on physicality also results in erroneous ideas about music torture: for example, the assumption that the music used must be intensely physical, ergo extremely loud. Studying the impacts of non-physical violence present difficulties for the historian, not least given changes in how injury and illness are discussed and perceived. However, as nineteenth-century debates around flogging demonstrate, historical actors sometimes show a surprisingly acute awareness of the medical impacts of psychological violence. This essay ultimately argues that giving voice to survivors of these forms of violence is imperative for justice and healing, and that historians are well placed to contribute to this.

“The Companion of War”: Dysentery in Bonaparte’s Army of the Orient (1798–1801)

The history of wars provides abundant material for the study of epidemics since they have often accompanied military conflicts. The Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars of France are especially interesting for researchers due to their duration, the geographical diversity of theaters of military operations, and the large number of participants. The first Russian studies on “Napoleonic epidemiology” published recently show that this era opens wide opportunities to historians in this regard. The author of this article follows in line with such studies, trying to identify the causes and features of the epidemic of dysentery in Bonaparte’s troops which occupied Egypt in 1798–1801, and to establish what impact the epidemic had on the course of the expedition. The doctors of the Army of the Orient were initially very afraid of plague, which they had not dealt with before their arrival in Egypt. Dysentery was well known to them, as people often contracted it in France. To combat the disease, they had a set of tools that had been used more or less successfully for decades in Europe. However, in practice, the epidemic of dysentery turned out to be so deadly in the Army of the Orient that in terms of the death toll, it could be compared with plague, if not even surpassed it. According to the author, the reason for such a high lethality of this disease was the fact that in Egypt, it was caused by another, more pathogenic carrier than in France, and the fact that French doctors could designate several intestinal diseases endemic to Egypt and similar to dysentery with a single concept of “dysentery”, which they had no experience in combating with. French doctors did not use hygiene measures that could prevent the spread of this disease, because they were guided by erroneous ideas about the etiology of dysentery, considering it a consequence of hypothermia of the body.

Математический объект как подарок

The article describes an important aspect of the activity of mathematicians — the development of mathematical conceptual systems. This movement from vague and sometimes erroneous ideas to an increasingly clear vision of the systemic essence of the relationship of concepts does not look like the creation of constructions or conventions, unless the use of these words is accompanied by reservations about a significant change in their usual meanings. The article considers two examples of such cardinal shifts: the creation of Isaac Newton’s dynamics and the emergence of the concept of a complex number. Scientific revolutions of this kind are described in the article as part of the development of Immanuel Kant’s transcendental approach, supplemented by the ideas formulated in the first Introduction to the Critique of Judgment. These ideas shed light on the relationship between experience and those arising in mathematical theories: experience gives, as Kant describes this process, “random causes” for the emergence of mathematical concepts, or, as the modern phenomenologist László Tengelyi formulates a similar idea, mathematical theories represent an “a posteriori necessity” — then there is a systemic state of emerging theories that cannot be derived from experience or explained by experience, and the rigidity of these systems does not allow them to be considered conventions. The article deals with the dialectical description of the development of scientific concepts given by Vladimir Bibler, as well as the ideas of Willard Quine, Hilary Putnam and Paul Benacerraf. The conclusion of the article: the incomprehensibility of the effectiveness of mathematics in physics, as well as the incomprehensibility of the productive advancement of systems of mathematical concepts without direct connection with practice, is not a rhetorical figure, but a completely fundamental circumstance and indicates a special ontological status of mathematics.

Difficulties in the Development of Genre and Style Subcompetence among Frst-years of Non-philological Profiles

The article describes requirements for communication competencies of a university graduate, in particular, for the genre and style sub-competence. Further listed and described are the difficulties which a lecturer in the higher educational institution may encounter, while developing the sub-competence in first-year non-philologists. These are, first of all, shortcomings of the layout of the course program, in which, as a rule, almost no time is planned for the analysis of characteristics of language styles and the development of oral proficiency in business and scientific styles, next, the consequences of a poor training of style at secondary school, finally, the lack of students' knowledge of the stylistics terminology, which leads to erroneous ideas about the structure of the stylistic system of the modern Russian literary language and an underdevelopment of students' language intuition. In addition, the article suggests some ways of eliminating the indicated difficulties.
 

Evaluating Independent and Mutually Exclusive Event Concepts in the Thinking of Higher Education Students

Background : The concepts of mutually exclusive and independent events are sources of didactic phenomena because university students when developing activities addressing these concepts, present spontaneous erroneous ideas, indicating the need for studies that identify these difficulties. Objective : We seek to understand what are the confusions between these concepts to provide elements for their better treatment and implementation in teaching. Design : The present study analyzed, through the Ontosemiotic Approach - OSA, the knowledge of higher education students related to a problem proposed in the classroom and to identify the semiotic conflicts. Setting and Participants : A group of students from a federal university in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, was invited to participate in the study, voluntarily and anonymously, and all 74 students from an introductory course to probability theory of a science and technology course at this university participated in the research. Data collection and analysis : Students responded to the problem in writing and, through their answers, were analyzed, classifying them as correct, partially correct, incorrect and unanswered. Results : We identified the difficulty in interpreting the problem statement, the inappropriate use of common language (terms and expressions) and the lack of clarity in exposing the arguments to solve the problem. Conclusions : Based on the difficulties encountered by this group of students, it is suggested that these concepts be worked on in the classroom using different teaching tools, such as, for example, the creation of learning environments based on research processes and real situations.

A personalized approach to the management of patients with chronic nonspecific back pain

Back pain is one of the most common causes of a doctor visit and occupy the first place among all non-infectious diseases in terms of the number of years of life, lost due to persistent deterioration in health. Nonspecific (musculoskeletal) pain represents the most common cause of pain and can be caused by the intervertebral disc extrusion, the lesion of the facet joints, the sacroiliac joints pain (SJP), the myofascial syndrome. A comprehensive (interdisciplinary) approach to the treatment of chronic back pain is aimed not only at reducing pain, but also at increasing physical, social and domestic activity, improving the emotional state, and developing effective stereotypes of behavior. The personalized approach is based on the patient clarifying both anatomical causes of pain and social and psychological, including erroneous ideas about the causes of back pain and its forecast, depression, increased anxiety and insomnia. Kinesitherapy represents the most effective direction when conducting patients with chronic back pain and should be combined with avoiding excessive static and physical exertion. In addition to therapeutic exercises, regular walks are of great importance, the intensity and volume of which can gradually increase. Psychological methods of therapy, mainly cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), are effective for chronic nonspecific back pain, they also use in the presence of emotional disorders and insomnia. In case of damage to the facet joints, the SJP, combined osteoarthritis of the knee and hip joints for chronic back pain as additional therapy, combined drugs of chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine sulfate are used. Unfortunately, in our country, a personalized approach is rarely used, including the CBT, but its use can help many patients with chronic back pain.

Phenomenology Study of Anxiety Victims Verbal Sexual Harassment (Catcalling) At Muhammadiyah Bandung University Students

Catcalling is a term that refers to a type of verbal sexual harassment that involves whistling or making comments with the intent of gaining attention by focusing on certain sexual characteristics, thereby falling under the category of sexual harassment. The purpose of this study is to investigate the meaning of the experience of anxiety and the elements that create anxiety in victims of verbal sexual harassment at Muhammadiyah Bandung University students using a qualitative method and an interpretive phenomenological analysis study style. The findings of this study suggest that all people who have been catcalled exhibit anxiety symptoms that are similar in degree but manifest in distinct ways. This can be noticed in the physical symptoms of worry shown by the four informants, such as a racing heart, trembling, weakness, and increased sweating. When they were subjected to verbal sexual harassment, all informants displayed the conduct of avoiding the perpetrator and the setting. The emergence of the perception that they are in a dangerous situation in a situation that is considered safe by most people, and all informants excessively predict a danger so that they feel afraid if they meet with the perpetrator again are the factors that cause all informants to experience anxiety. All of the informants have been catcalled, which causes them to have self-defeating attitudes and erroneous ideas that they will be catcalled again if they encounter a group of guys.

Individualization and digitalization of creative development of students in chemistry lessons

Background. In the context of increasing robotization and digitalization of most of the routine and algorithmic types of human activity, the problem of the creative development of each child and the individualization of education in a public school, especially in the field of natural science education, arises.The aim. To study the prerequisites and opportunities for digitalization of the creative development of students as a means of increasing the reflexivity of their mental activity in solving creative problems and individualizing the educational process in a public school based on the subject of chemistry.Methods. At the first stage of the study, a survey of chemistry teachers was used. At the second stage, diagnostic tasks in chemistry were developed to verify the identified stereotypes; at the third stage, ways were studied to overcome stereotyped ideas in chemistry by schoolchildren; and at the fifth stage, the possibility of digitizing mental actions using the CREO_DATUM computer program was studied.Results. Of the 70 different variants of erroneous ideas in the school chemistry course, 18 thinking stereotypes turned out to be the most common. The possibility of overcoming stereotypes is not associated with additional classes and explanations of teachers, but with the independent solution of creative tasks by students, since in this process the reflection of schoolchildren develops, which is a condition for overcoming stereotypes. The optimal time in the classroom for students to complete short creative tasks is 10–12 minutes. It is sufficient to measure such creative actions of students as divergence, criticality, uniqueness. To digitize the mental activity of students when solving creative problems in chemistry and to automate the construction of graphs for the creative development of each student, the CREO_DATUM program was developed and tested.Conclusion. Long-term studies of the possibility of using subject-creative tasks based on the material of a school chemistry course for the development of creativity and reflexivity of students serve as a rationale for designing digital means for individualizing the creative development of students.
