The purpose of the work is to determine the main effective ways of forming the environmental competence of school children. Methodology: in the process of research, to identify modern forms of teaching environmental competence using game methods, computer technologies and the involvement of schoolchildren in health and recreational activities by organizing excursions, hikes, thematic events in the natural environment. The above proposed forms of education allow to attract more schoolchildren, the learning process becomes more objective and interesting for children and young people. The use of actual pedagogical practices based on modern trends allows to draw more attention to environmental problems. Scientific novelty: modern aspects of the implementation of ecological competence are summarized in the form of modern approaches to learning by means of interactive classes, project works with involvement in ecological activities of health and recreation orientation. Conclusions. Implementation of the task of forming environmental competence among schoolchildren requires a comprehensive approach and the application of various modern forms and methods aimed at increasing environmental awareness and developing a responsible attitude towards nature, which consists in creating conditions for direct contact of children with nature, which contributes to their psychophysical development, forms a habit careful attitude towards nature. The issue of environmental competence must be highlighted in international sports arenas, involving prominent athletes, cultural figures, and famous figures in environmental projects, involving all spheres of society, including government structures, business, educational institutions, and public organizations, to cooperate in the implementation of environmental protection measures, for the formation of environmental culture children and youth.

МОДЕРНІЗАЦІЯ НАВЧАЛЬНОГО ПРОЦЕСУ В УМОВАХ РЕФОРМУВАННЯ ШКІЛЬНОЇ ОСВІТИ В 1985–1991 РОКАХ

In the conditions of the «perestroika» of 1985–1991, the school in the Ukrainian SSR faced a number of challenges related to the reform of general education institutions. The difficulty was the contradictory nature of the Soviet period, when on paper there is only one thing, and in practice – something else, which ultimately led to the incompleteness of a huge number of reforms. The process of restructuring the educational field was, in fact, ambiguous. Secondary schools faced a number of new tasks: reconstruction of education in the conditions of NTR, in particular, the involvement of schoolchildren in computer knowledge and computer science concepts; strengthening the relationship between the school and practical production; new approaches in education and upbringing in the direction of glasnost and democratization. De facto, this led to experimentation in the search for new forms and methods of teaching and education in the Soviet school. The reconstruction of the school began with the computerization of the educational space, which was characterized by the lack of a professional methodical base, low qualification level of teachers and problems with technical support. According to the new curriculum of 1985/86 pupils was obliged to master a computer. Therefore, a new subject «Fundamentals of informatics and computer technology» was introduced. On the other hand, the lack of scientific and methodological support stimulated the search for new forms and methods of learning, which contributed to the development of pupil`s creative activity in the direction of scientific research. According to the reform, it was necessary to create a perfect program and textbooks on Ukrainian literature, and then, based on them, a complete educational and methodological complex, both for pupils and for teachers. The school subject – the literature of the previous period – had to serve as the foundation. The reform in secon­dary schools also affected the lesson of physical culture. An improved program «Comprehensive program of physical education of pupils of grades I–XI», was introduced. which included all forms of school physical culture, which constituted a complex system based on the All-Union Physical Comp­lex «Ready for Work and Defense of the USSR». As for the teachers of exact disciplines, they had to have a good command not only of scientific and theoretical material, but also to have ideological and political training.

THE PROCESS OF INTRODUCING POLYTECHNICAL EDUCATION TO THE SCHOOL EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THE EARLY 1930s (BASED ON ARCHIVAL SOURCES OF ULYANOVSK REGION)

Rapidly changing global conditions dictate the need to reform the education system. For this process to be effective, it is supposed to study the historical experience, in particular the positive experience of reforming the Soviet education system, which indicates the practical significance of the research work.
 
 The purpose of the research is to study the process of introducing polytechnical education to the Soviet school in order to identify problems, difficulties and practical methods of their overcoming that could be applied at the present stage.
 
 Materials and methods. The materials of local archival sources and the press were used; the methods of introducing polytechnical education into the secondary education, as well as their actual implementation in schools were analyzed. Of scientific interest is the factual material (archival documents, publications in the local press), which provides a favorable basis for studying the way the party policy was implemented locally.
 
 Study results. The structure of the executive branch was a guarantee that party policy would be implemented, but bureaucratization hindered this process, which in general terms is the analogue of current situation. The multilateral system of control in the school system (administrative, party and public ones) contributed to the fact that the introduction of polytechnical education passed quite effectively not only in the city, but in rural areas as well. In addition, involvement of schoolchildren in real work activities, as well as introduction of practical classes, had a positive impact on the process of introducing polytechnical education and optimizing the entire education system.
 
 Conclusions. Introduction of theoretical classes in vocational guidance, as well as practical lessons, can contribute to improving the general level of education in modern schoolchildren, their awareness about the diversity of professions, and increase the prestige of “working” specialties. The author provides a parallel analysis of the situation in the early 1930s and the current state of the educational system, showing new opportunities of prompts for solving modern problems in the educational system.

Особенности экологического просвещения сельских школьников на рубеже XX-XXI вв.

The aim of the study is a historical and pedagogical comprehension, analysis and summarisation of the experience of ecological and educational work with rural schoolchildren accumulated at the turn of the XX-XXI centuries. The paper analyses the practice of environmental awareness promotion among rural schoolchildren that developed during this period in different regions of Russia. The scientific novelty lies in summarising and systematising the research devoted to certain aspects related to the organisation of environmental awareness promotion among rural schoolchildren; its features are identified: potentially high opportunities for organising environmental awareness promotion among children living in close proximity to wildlife; orientation to the formation of an integral personal quality, i.e. ecological culture; interest in the ethno-cultural component of the content of environmental awareness promotion; involvement of schoolchildren in agricultural and environmental protection activities. As a result, the theoretical material and practical experience of organising ecological and educational work with rural schoolchildren in the 1990s-2000s were summarised, the characteristic features inherent in the process of forming the ecological culture of the younger generation in rural areas were identified, the perspective of further use of the accumulated experience was assessed.

ГРАФИЧЕСКИЕ ДИСЦИПЛИНЫ И ИНФОРМАТИЗАЦИЯ ИНЖЕНЕРНОГО ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ

The development of information technology has given a significant impetus and progress both for various industries and life, as well as for education. The national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation" provides for ensuring the introduction of digital technologies in the economy and social sphere, and is associated with the National Project "Education (2019-2024)", which includes the Federal Project "Digital Educational Environment" based on the introduction of the target model of modern digital technologies into educational programs. Innovative methods and forms of training create a strategy for the professional training of specialists, and computer visibility of the forms of the part gives an idea of the assembly technology, allows you to perform competent drawings. The purpose of the study is to analyze the methods of solving the problems of descriptive geometry and engineering graphics together with the use of methods of surface formation by geometric methods, as well as on the basis of basic CAD operations COMPASS-3D. 
 In modern high school, in most cases, drawing is not studied, or only the most general concepts and definitions are studied. The existing course of school computer science deals only with general issues and practically does not give skills in drawing and modeling. As a result, applicants for the most part come to a technical university unprepared for the normal perception of geometric and graphic disciplines. In this regard, two priority tasks of further informatization of engineering education at the technical university have been formulated. On the one hand, this is the improvement of the methodology for teaching geometro-graphic disciplines, including in distance learning. On the other hand, it is the involvement of schoolchildren in various Olympiads and competitions held on the basis of technical universities to develop the initial skills of drawing and modeling simple objects.

Научное волонтерство как новое направление добровольческой деятельности студентов и школьников (на примере платформы «Волонтер-натуралист»)

The study aims to substantiate the necessity and possibility of scientific volunteering development as a new area of volunteering activities for schoolchildren and students. The paper presents the experience of successful volunteering activities of children and young people in the field of science using the example of projects in the spheres of agriculture and biology implemented by V. A. Trapeznikov Institute of Control Sciences of Russian Academy of Sciences on the “Volunteer Naturalist” platform. The scientific novelty of the paper lies in shedding light on the features of scientific volunteering organisation as a new area of volunteering activities for schoolchildren and students contributing to self-realisation, acquisition of necessary knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as career guidance of students in educational organisations of secondary and higher education. As a result, it has been proved that the involvement of schoolchildren and students as scientific volunteers contributes not only to their participation in various research projects, broadening their outlook, but also popularises science among young people and helps schoolchildren and students in their further career guidance.

Augmented Reality Technology as an Immersive Teaching Tool in the Middle School Biology Course

Based on the analysis of publications on the topic of digitalization of biological education, the article identifies four trends associated with the introduction of digital technologies and tools into the educational process: the formation of a blended learning model; transition to online learning; creation of an immersive educational environment; use of augmented reality technology. These trends are interconnected, and each of them affects the general biological education in Russia. On the one hand, digitalization contributes to an increase in the openness, flexibility of education, and an increase in the involvement of schoolchildren in the process of teaching biology in high school. On the other hand, it leads to the creation of a new educational situation, the inclusion of new factors in the system of biological education, which changes the nature of the relationship between its main participants. Digitalization introduces significant changes in the role of a biology teacher and a high school student in the process of teaching biology, which requires appropriate adaptation. The necessity of systematizing the educational and social effects of the introduction of immersive technologies in biological education and conducting longitudinal studies is substantiated. The design of the study was developed, which is based on the strategy of introducing immersive technologies in blended teaching of biology in high school.

Volunteering of students: Social meaning and basis of motivated refusal

Introduction. The relevance of the study is associated with the need for scientific understanding of youth volunteering, deepening ideas about its educational potential, which is realised in the education system. In the context of international and national studies, it is important to evaluate the volunteer participation of the younger generation, its social effects on society. The social effectiveness of volunteering is a necessary condition, the result of educational activities organised in the educational environment. The study meets the practical request to determine the conditions for changing the qualitative characteristics of students volunteering with an active agenda of state assistance to the pro-social activity of the youth in the Russian Federation. Understanding the motivation, intentions and real opportunities for volunteer participation of high school students and students is important for improving the effectiveness of solving the task of increasing the social activity of young people, defined in the framework of the state youth policy.Aim. The article aimed to concretise the social significance of the volunteer participation of high school students and students and to determine the conditions for overcoming the motivated refusal of youth volunteering in the educational environment in order to increase the effectiveness of its organisation.Methodology and research methods. The methodological basis of the article is a set of theoretical ideas about the formation of social solidarity and stimulation of pro-social behaviour of young people. The theory of social participation has received a certain development in the article. The article is based on the materials of the authors’ research projects implemented in 2017–2020 in the Sverdlovsk region. Having used the questionnaire method, the authors analysed the data of a mass survey of young people in the Sverdlovsk region from 14 to 24 years old from 81 settlements of the region. A representative sample consisted of 1105 people, the error is no more than 3,5%. The sample was based on four quotas: gender, age, the main type of employment (school, college, and university) and type of city by population.Results and scientific novelty. The study showed that while maintaining a large number of students with experience in volunteering, the number of those, who consciously refuse or doubt that they will be engaged in volunteering in their future, increases. In recent years, the number of those, who have gained volunteering experience through initiatives in educational institutions, has increased significantly. The involvement of young Uralians in social projects has decreased. The study proves that the voluntary activity of young people is a necessary condition for the accumulation of social capital in territorial communities. The involvement of schoolchildren and students in youth organisations, in socio-cultural urban life is an important and necessary condition for effective volunteer participation of young people. It was revealed that volunteer experience is directly related to student interest in public life. It is proved that high school students and students with volunteer experience and intentions to continue it are more likely to be involved in the social and political life of their city or village than those who do not have such experience.Practical significance. In schools, colleges and universities, there is an important task of organising not only the educational process, but also educational activities. When requesting mass youth participation and the typicality of socially significant events, it is important to understand the conditions when the qualitative characteristics of volunteering by young citizens as members of the local community are being developed.

Дистанционные олимпиады в организации совместной профориентационной работы школы и вуза

The article shows how using network technologies, in particular the electronic distance learning system (LMS) Moodle, you can build career guidance among schoolchildren, involving them in a conscious choice of a profession in the field of IT technologies (information security specialist, data protection specialist, cryptographer). Some Russian educational Internet platforms are considered, designed to help school graduates decide on their future professional activities. The ways of vocational guidance work at school are shown, which can be implemented both during school hours and after school hours. It proposes its own approach to this type of activity through the involvement of schoolchildren in distance Olympiads. A specific example reveals the technology for the development and implementation of distance Olympiads. The three-year experience of preparing distance Olympiads on the basis of the university is described.

The development of research activity with schoolchildren

The primary goal of this study was to unveil the key features of research activity in the context of school education and identify the most significant barriers to it. This was to be achieved by conducting a structured survey of 174 teachers. Further interviewing of 10 teachers of the most successful schools in these terms intended to detail the characteristics of research activities in the considered educational institutions. The systematization and generalization of the collected results was the final stage of this analysis. The data obtained in the course of the investigation confirmed the idea that most students should take a special course on introduction to research from their first days at a university. In practice, the research results can be used in the implementation of STEM methods, scientific education, and the involvement of schoolchildren in research activities in the educational programs of most developing countries that have similar problems.
 
 Keywords: entrepreneurial education; research activity; science education; soft skills; STEM; university preparation programs.

The Method of Teaching Schoolchildren the Basics of Security on The Internet

The purpose of the study is to substantiate and test an interactive methodology that involves the active interaction of a high school student - a moderator and schoolchildren in the process of developing their competencies in the field of information security, allowing them to successfully socialize in the information environment. The relevance of this problem is due, on the one hand, to the process of informatization of all spheres of society’s life and the demand in this regard for the subjects of society who have both knowledge in the field of information security and the ability to ensure their own technological, ideological and psychological security and, on this basis, objectively analyze and evaluate information coming to them, taking into account the threats contained in it. On the other hand, the need for practice in the methodological support of the process of teaching schoolchildren the basics of security on the Internet and the insufficient development of this issue in pedagogical science.Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, we used a systematic approach to create a model of an interactive methodology for teaching schoolchildren the basics of information security, an activity approach that allows us to activate the process of interaction between subjects of cognitive activity and the possibility of increasing its effectiveness based on gamification. The following methods were used in the work: analysis of pedagogical, psychological, scientific, technical and methodological literature on the research problem, systematization, generalization, experiment, questioning, testing, survey, diagnostic methods (methods of Internet addiction by S.Kulikov and Kimberly-Young in adapted by S. Loskutova), and methods of mathematical statistics and visual presentation of results. The experiment involved 66 schoolchildren from the fifth to the ninth grades and five high school students as moderators of school No. 28 in Magnitogorsk.Results. As part of the study, an interactive methodology for teaching schoolchildren the basics of Internet security was developed and tested, implemented as part of extracurricular activities based on the author’s program, developed on the spiral principle of presenting the content of training, interaction between a teacher, a high school student - moderator and schoolchildren on the principle of mentoring, using gamification. The game scenario developed by us on the principles of gradual complication of situational tasks depending on the age of schoolchildren (gamification mechanics), cooperation (gamification dynamics) and motivation (gamification components) is implemented as a mobile application with elements of additional reality. Within the framework of this methodology, senior students act as mentors for students of middle school age. The study of the opinions of schoolchildren indicates that they are satisfied with the process and the result of education.Conclusion. The proposed interactive methodology for teaching schoolchildren the basics of security on the Internet, combining elements of traditional and e-learning as part of extracurricular activities, ensures the involvement of school-children in the educational process based on the development of external and internal motivation, increases the productivity of their cognitive activity, eliminates formalism in interactive interaction and allows effective implement monitoring and evaluation of learning outcomes.

The author substantiates the conclusion that the role of additional education in the formation of a child's personality is increasing as a result of parents' dissatisfaction with the quality of school education. The author studies the availability of additional education and the involvement of school children in it on the basis of RosStat data and other sociological studies. Special attention is paid to the study of the features and development prospects of the linguistic component in additional education. The conclusion is made about the need to strengthen state regulation of this sphere.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Patriotic Education Programs by High School Students in the Regions of the Siberian Federal District

The main content of federal and regional programs for patriotic education of the citizens of the Russian Federation is targeted at work with school students, which puts emphasis on the analysis of young people opinion of these programs effectiveness. Basing on the data of the mass survey of senior school students in 10 regions of the Siberian Federal district, the article brings out their grounds for differentiating patriot and non-patriot, the comparative analysis of representations of these groups of pupils as about priority subjects of patriotic education and effective execution of its particular trends. The article has pointed out positive attitude of the majority of school students to anchoring patriotic values in youth environment through patriotic films. Young people have ambiguous attitude to the idea of compulsory patriotic education in schools and universities, and school students who do not identify themselves as patriots are negative about it. The participation of school students in patriotic events has been linked to their further self-identification as patriots. The authors emphasize that the formalized approach to working with young people leads in practice to a low level of their awareness of the content of the main directions of patriotic education, weak and not systematic involvement of schoolchildren in patriotic events and the work of patriotic associations. Based on the results of the study, the article concludes that there is a fairly large number of young people who do not share patriotic values and critically assess the effectiveness of many areas of patriotic education programs.

End-to-end design training: from descriptive geometry to computer modeling of cutting tools

Modern trends in the development of technology are based mainly on successful engineering activities. The combination of the most modern computer technologies and the traditions of using a pencil, drawing, drafts, and, of course, a living fruitful thought is a guarantee of the education of a genuine Engineer. On the one hand, educational technologies in engineering universities at the initial stage should be based, in our deep conviction, on school geometry. On the other hand, descriptive geometry and engineering graphics should contain examples for immersion in the chosen specialty. By order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, engineering classes, in which lecturers of technical universities were involved, were organized 10 years ago in Moscow schools. The creation of engineering classes is caused by the need to instill in students an interest in the engineering profession. To successfully solve this problem, it is necessary to increase the level of students» knowledge in geometry and drawing. On the basis of these subjects, one should develop design skills and skills of using computer modeling tools. The result of this cooperation should be the involvement of schoolchildren to participate in competitions and olympiads. The Department of Engineering Graphics, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, has accumulated 30 years of experience in cooperation with specialized schools in order to develop students» interest in the engineering profession. The article provides an example of the introduction of a common cutting tool, i. e. a drill, which demonstrates the depth of engineering thought formed over a thousand-year history, into the educational process when studying geometry at school and descriptive geometry at a technical university. The drill as an object comprehensible to first-year students is used to provide the basic knowledge of descriptive geometry. In addition, the problem related to the improvement of the technology of end-to-end training throughout the course of obtaining an engineering education is touched upon.

Involvement of schoolchildren of Buryatia and the TransbaikalTerritory in scientific activities

The study is aimed at determining the factors of motivation for research activities among schoolchildren of the Republic of Buryatia and the TransbaikalTerritory. The employed sociological approach in the study made it possible to analyze the cognitive and social needs of schoolchildren in research activity, to assess the influence and role of social factors (conditions of social life of students) in the formation and content of motives for research activities of schoolchildren, and also to distinguish schoolchildren’s expectations and opportunities needed to implement research activities. When organizing research work with students, developing a scientific infrastructure in education, the issues of student motivation acquire particular relevance. Taking into account the high level of the influence of a scientist’s image on the choice of student science-oriented specialization, strengthening the positive image of a scientist in society becomes an urgent task. Since teachers are the key figures in attracting schoolchildren to research, it is necessary to give priority attention to the methodical and methodological training of teachers in the field of research activities, along with providing scientific infrastructure for schoolchildren. The experience of implementation of scientific and educational projects “Scientific Accelerator” in Buryatia and the Science Festival “NAUKA 0+” in the TransbaikalTerritory showed that the competencies and methodological approaches in the field of research activities that students master within the framework of projects cannot always be developed inthe further educational process. At the same time, an important factor in motivating students is meeting with scientists who act as carriers of advanced academic knowledge and also form a positive image of the profession among students. The results of the study can be applied in the development of standards and rules for the implementation of educational activities.

Designing the Teaching Process in a Modern Educational Institution

This paper focuses on the instructional design, its functions, approaches and principles. Instructional design plays a significant role in ensuring coherent, relevant and effective educational process and must be considered in more depth by modern teachers and educators. Today, without radical changes in educational trends, the process of personal development will continue to be monotonous and impoverished. Authors suggest, that nowadays special attention should be paid to the educational function of the school, aimed at developing a person because the assimilation of knowledge by students must pass through a pre-determined system of educational work. It is important to broadly involve students in planning the process, as well as in the actual implementation of creative ideas. The type of communication within the class group, the student's progress, behaviour within the school and outside it will largely depend on the nature of the activities of students. An important element of work in this area is the involvement of schoolchildren's families, active cooperation with them, the realization of a common goal, mutual understanding. To design the work plan of the class group in relation to specific educational objectives and tasks of personal development of students means to create at the level of personal development of students the most optimal system of activities, where methods and organization will be oriented towards the development of all subjects of interaction.

Use of distance technologies in education of pupils with disabilities

The article is devoted to the consideration of the problem of using distance educational technologies in the educational process of a comprehensive school for pupils with disabilities in the context of modern educational practice. Education is the basis and resource for creating ideas about the values of the world and a human among schoolchildren, therefore, the development and use of pedagogical technologies, the formation of value knowledge and attitudes towards the world, and the involvement of schoolchildren in value-semantic activities are necessary in the conditions of modern inclusive education. The methodological approaches to the organization and implementation of the educational process using distance technologies in a general education school for children with disabilities are described. Significant results are shown and deficiencies in the use of distance learning technologies in the educational process of a comprehensive school for children with disabilities are indicated.
