The effectiveness of scientific and methodological educational software has been experimentally proven during the in-depth interviews. The results of the study contribute to the development of heads and teachers training and curricula. These results are used in the continuing professional educational programs, development of managerial and teaching staff in the field of education, in pre-professional education, and various special courses and training programs for the students of pedagogical specialties. In conclusion, the study develops a vision for the further development of the system for training managerial and pedagogical personnel in education for migration management in education.

Modernizing the structure of educators’ ICT competencies to train future teachers to use e-learning methods and networking

The research investigated teacher training in the area of using ICT tools in professional activity as well as educational standards of higher education in pedagogical specialties. The analysis has demonstrated that those academic disciplines of the standard that reflect the problems of employing ICT tools in education do not fully address the issues of creating electronic learning resources (ELR). Moreover, the same observation concerns developing distance learning systems. Such systems automate the processes of collecting, processing, producing information, information interaction between participants in online learning, planning learning sessions in class and out-of-class time as well as managing students’ group, individual educational, and research activity in the digital environment. Basically, the competencies formed are oriented towards the classical learning model of education. Thus, they do not describe the above- mentioned specific features of the teacher’s professional activity in the digital environment in a clear and general way. The educational specialty-specific standards, standard syllabuses of disciplines, and curricula to prepare graduates developed on a competence-based basis constitute the regulatory and methodological framework for modernizing the educational process at pedagogical universities. The structure of teachers’ ICT competencies in the field of e-learning methods and networking is based on the requirements of the professional qualification standard of a teacher, the 3+ educational standards in the system of higher education of the Republic of Belarus as well as the National and European Qualifications Frameworks for Higher Education. The analysis of the requirements of the standard revealed a range of labor actions and functions associated with the need to form and develop certain media and ICT competencies of a teacher in the process of continuous pedagogical education. The article presents the general structure of teachers’ ICT competencies in the field of e-learning and networking methods. It is recommended to detail these competencies through developing relevant descriptors. The given structure of ICT competencies is also intended for designing electronic course descriptors in the Moodle distance learning system to assess the quality of teacher education in university electronic information and educational environment.

Functional readiness and properties of the nervous system peculiarities of art specialties’ future teachers

Background and purpose. The future professional work of students of the Faculty of Arts is characterized by an insufficient level of physical activity of a dynamic nature in combination with a large static load and highly coordinated finger work. Representatives of these specialties have their own psychological characteristics. Purpose: to reveal the peculiarities of the properties of the nervous system and the functional potential of the cardiovascular system of students - future teachers of fine arts and music and, based on the obtained data, to develop recommendations for physical education and sports.
 Material and methods. Students of Pedagogical University took part in the study. The total number of students was 812. 24 of them were students of the Faculty of Arts. Future specialists in physical education and sports took part in the number of 25 people. 763 students were representatives of other faculties. Properties of the nervous system were determined using psychophysiological testing. During psychophysiological testing, the reaction time and the number of errors were determined for each test. The indicators of the orthostatic test were used as indicators of functional readiness. In the orthostatic test, the heart rate was measured in the lying position and in the standing position and the difference between these indicators. Statistical analysis involved comparing students of the Faculty of Arts with students of other faculties using parametric methods, since all samples corresponded to a normal distribution.
 Results. Future teachers of creative specialties have reliably the least mobility in combination with the highest stability of nervous processes in comparison with representatives of other pedagogical specialties. Reliable differences were found between the indicators of orthostatic reactions of students of the Faculty of Arts and the faculty where future sports coaches are trained. Orthostatic regulation is significantly better in students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports.
 Conclusions. It is necessary to adjust the program of physical education of students of creative specialties to increase the interest of students and to match physical exercises to the features of the nervous system of students of the Faculty of Arts. Future teachers of creative specialties can be recommended to engage in any kind of sport or motor activity, but the most suitable for them are exercises that require the development of endurance in combination with the inclusion of cognitive processes and concentration: walks with observation of nature and the city, exercises performed to music, exercises with a concentration on various natural images, etc.

Interactive tools as a motivational stimulus in preparing students for professional activities

The authors consider interactive teaching aids as a motivational stimulus in preparing students for future professional activities using the example of the electronic educational and methodological manual “Professionally oriented English. Biology”. This manual was developed directly for the preparation of students of pedagogical specialties, namely students of the specialty 6B01509 — Biology, to use English in their professional activities in the conditions of modernization of education in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The relevance of the use of English in professional activities by students of pedagogical specialties is determined by the systematic transition to teaching in Kazakh, Russian, and English the subjects of the natural and mathematical cycle of general education schools. The increasing demand for the English language as a result of this, a significant expansion of the possibilities of its practical application, makes it a means of improving the professional activity of a highly qualified specialist. However, for the successful implementation of the trilingual initiative, it is important not only to target the training of students of pedagogical specialties of the university, but also to develop methodological and scientific-methodological support. In the course of the conducted pedagogical research using a combination of various incentives in various forms and methods of conducting classes that encourage students to active educational and cognitive activities, creating situations of professional foreign language communication and a positive emotional atmosphere in the preparation process, there is a positive trend in the formation of the motivational component of the readiness of students of pedagogical specialties to use English in professional activities.

Metacognitive and cognitive abilities in reading comprehension among Russian upper secondary and undergraduate students: Explanations from different points of view

The study was aimed at identifying the characteristics of upper secondary and undergraduate students’ ability to learn when working with explanatory learning texts, depending on the level of their logical thinking. The experiment involved 669 third- and fourth-year university students (future philologists [n = 351], teachers [n = 90], psychologists [n = 96], and soil scientists [n = 132]) and 121 upper secondary students. We used two methods to identify spontaneous strategies for understanding the text: 1) “Select the main sentences” (Mal’skaya & Sidel’nikova, 1984); and 2) “Search for contradictions” (Korotaeva, 2000). We also diagnosed logical thinking, using the following methods: 1) tasks for equalizing variables in the process of confirming and testing hypotheses; 2) “the plant problem” (Kuhn & Brannock, 1977) and 3) the Badelly reasoning test. Our sample showed that understanding of the text is significantly related to the level at which the subject forms logical operations. There was a weak positive correlation between the ability to highlight the main thing and the ability to detect contradictions in the text. The ability to highlight the main thing was significantly and positively associated with the formation of certain logical operations. The study also revealed differences in the quality of work with the text and the mastery of logical techniques between students of different specialties, with the lowest results observed in students of pedagogical specialties. The university students’ ability to highlight the main sentences was also compared with that of high school students (Grade 10, mean age 17.3). The results are discussed from two different theoretical standpoints: the Cognitive approach and the Cultural-Historical Activity approach.

Теоретические основы процесса формирования общественно-политической компетентности у будущих педагогов

In the conditions of political pressure on the independence and sovereignty of the Russian Federation, the problem of the formation of socio-political competence is relevant, especially in the educational environment and among future teachers. Within the framework of this publication, the purpose of the study is to determine the conceptual foundations for the formation of socio-political competence among students of pedagogical specialties. The scientific novelty lies in the attempt made by the authors to answer the research question posed in the article, which is related to the substantiation of the conceptual foundations for the formation of socio-political competence among students of pedagogical specialties. The assessment of the reliability of the presented results is based on an integrative approach, on the methods of analysis and synthesis of scientific literature. A comparative analysis of foreign experience in the formation of socio-political competence of students shows that the problem under study has not been sufficiently developed. According to the results of the study, the components of the socio-political competence of students of pedagogical specialties are substantiated, and the existing foreign concepts of the formation of socio-political competence are analyzed. An analysis of domestic and foreign studies made it possible to establish that most of the scientific provisions put forward in the concept, characterizing the features of the formation of socio-political competence, are confirmed in other studies and do not contradict them.

INFOMEDIA LITERACY IN THE UNIVERSITY EDUCATIONAL PROCESS: RESULTS OF IMPLEMENTATION

Obtaining information through the latest technologies and media channels actualizes the development, understanding, interpretation, integration into the educational process of ideas and content of media education. The result is media literacy / information literacy. Therefore, pedagogical, didactic and methodological aspects of the relevant discipline reflect the educational, cognitive, activity needs of a modern person. In this context, the approach by which teachers can share their own experience of teaching information literacy is relevant. During the discussion of content and formal aspects, learning outcomes and feedback, it is possible to form the optimal content and quality tools for use in dynamic educational circumstances.
 The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the focus of the content of the elective course «Information Media Literacy» on the achievement of program learning outcomes and to analyze the feedback data obtained by surveying students. The research methodology is based on the basic competencies proposed in the project «Study and Distinguish: Information Media Literacy». The research used the methods of the survey group (including questionnaires), methods of analysis and generalization of collected data, elements of the quantitative method and forecasting. Infomedia literacy teaching is aimed at developing a critical orientation in a particular environment, the ability to interact effectively with it, the willingness to use the acquired knowledge and skills in various situations of interaction with the media. 
 In the educational process of higher education, it is important to self-analyze the educational activities and find out the quality of teaching. Naturally, the formulation of learning outcomes according to certain criteria is mostly indicative. But even approximate indicators give grounds for conclusions about the level of knowledge acquisition, the development of skills and abilities and their prolongation in the life of an individual. One of the ways of self-analysis is a questionnaire, which was conducted among students of (non)pedagogical specialties of Ternopil Volodymyr Hnatiuk National Pedagogical University after studying infomedia literacy. The analysis of the received answers demonstrated a high level of interest in the content of the course and awareness of the competencies of media literacy, critical thinking, social tolerance, resilience, information and visual literacy, digital security, innovation. It also confirmed the effectiveness of the forms of cooperation and activities involved, outlined the range of issues and practices of the information sphere, which requires more attention in the future presentation of the course.
 It is concluded that the study of information literacy offers effective approaches and tools, the use of which provides identification, understanding, avoiding / overcoming threats to the information environment.

Formation of future teachers’ intercultural tolerance through digital learning resource at professional education institutions

Introduction. The worldwide globalisation processes lead to academic mobility of students, which is expressed in the possibility of entering any educational institutions, including those located abroad. As a consequence, educational institutions are developing a special intercultural learning environment, where peaceful coexistence is largely determined by the presence of such quality as intercultural tolerance. This quality is especially important for students of pedagogical specialties since the quality of educational process and the psychological climate within the involved learners’ team will depend on them. Therefore the problem of formation of intercultural tolerance comes to the fore. Materials and methods. The research involved 81 pedagogical-profile students of the 1st-4th years of study at the State budget-funded educational institution of secondary vocational education of Kaluga region “A.P. Churilin Kirov Industrial and Pedagogical College”. The teaching at experimental groups involved the use of specially developed technology for foreign-language teaching and the digital educational resource. The control groups worked under a teaching technology described in the programme for the discipline “Foreign language”. In order to assess the level of formation of intercultural tolerance, A. Kyveralg’s method was used, which allows the researcher to evaluate the general level of formation of the explored phenomenon proceeding from each component’s indicators. The mathematical and statistical processing of the results was carried out using Pearson’s chi-squared test (χ2). Results. A number of statistically significant differences were revealed in the distribution between the control and experimental groups under the following indicators: motivational χ2=16.98 and χ2=31.369), cognitive (χ2=21.123 and χ2=38.956), activity-based (χ2=12.588 and χ2=8.75) and reflexive (χ2=7.892 and χ2=7.317). Conclusion. The diagnostic indicators made it possible to conclude that the students in the experimental groups used the methods of intercultural interaction that are based on the knowledge of cultural diversity of educational process participants, the ability to apply different interaction methods from the positions of the explored phenomenon, to seek ways out of conflict situations independently, to plan educational and professional activities.

Компетентностите на учителя по музика като отговорност на музикалнопедагогическото образование

The subject of this study is the professional competence of music teachers, as well as the complex relation between the musical competencies acquired in different musical disciplines during musical and pedagogical education on the one hand, and the specific manner of their complex functioning in music lessons on the other hand, considering the goals and tasks of this subject in general education. The aim of the study is to consider the necessary competencies of the music teacher for the accomplishment of practical learning outcomes, as well as to compare them with some aspects of the training in professional music pedagogy that is subject-oriented. An extensive database and regulations were surveyed, analysed, and then compared to the peculiarities of teaching as part of general education. In the course of this study, we came to the conclusion that the goal of the professionally studied music disciplines and the purpose of music education in Bulgarian schools are generally different. At school, the competencies of the teacher should not be adapted. They should function in a different way and with a different purpose. The current study proposes two models that would be effective for future teacher training. The first one suggests that, during the training of future teachers, integrativity should be intentionally demanded between the subjects studied. The second model considers the possibility of introducing elective music disciplines that would comply with the competencies set out in the training curriculum in music.

Ways to Improve the Communicative Skills of Pedagogical Specialties Students in the Higher Educational Institutions

The research methodology is based on a quantitative assessment of the formation success of communication skills in the process of teaching the course “Psychology” for 120 students of the Faculty of Philology in Ukraine. Qualitative analysis of the effectiveness of the developed formation model of future teachers’ communicative skills involved observing the teachers’ and students’ behavior of control and experimental groups of the course. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed formation model of future teachers’ communicative skills in the process of studying at HEI.

Works of National Painting in the Development of Educational Programs of Pedagogical Specialties

The article actualizes the idea of developing system-modeling approaches to the development of technologies by students of pedagogical universities that ensure the use of works of domestic painting in the educational process. Within the framework of the project «Didactic potential of national painting in the implementation of the program of spiritual revival of the nation», a study is being conducted aimed at meaningful and didactic provision of work with the works of Kazakhstani artists in strict adherence to the program of spiritual revival, the methodological aspect of which is set out in the patriotic act "Tugan Zher". The relevance of the work on the introduction of national painting into the educational process is dictated by modern requirements in a number of scientific studies devoted to various types of Kazakh national art and the use of its potential in the spiritual revival of the nation, the appeal to the works of national painting is considered as an effective means of teaching. The project participants objectify the idea of a syncretic approach to the use of this tool: putting the knowledge paradigm to the fore and taking into account the possibilities of painting as an art form, it is necessary to consider the didactic aspect of using the works of domestic artists in the educational process. The scientific significance of the Project «Didactic potential of national painting in the implementation of the program of spiritual revival of the nation» considers the national spirit of this type of national creativity among the folklore, literary, theatrical, musical heritage of the Kazakh people for use as one of the effective forms of presentation of ethno-cultural views of the Kazakh people. The novelty of the project lies in the fact that it presents a system-modeled description of the work on the spiritual formation of secondary school students through the training of future teachers in the conditions of modern pedagogical universities. The importance of this kind of training is proved by the materials of the conducted experiments, in which both the performers declared in the Project and teachers of different types of schools took part. The selection, verification and description of innovative technologies in working with paintings are focused both on activating the emotional perception of students, and on instilling in them the skills of creative analysis of paintings, and on generalizing theoretical provisions that contribute to the development of the spiritual heritage of the people. The article is an analytical study of those areas of work that should be carried out at the second stage of the study, which determines the relevance and features of the formation of teachers' skills with students of secondary schools within the framework of the «Tugan Zher» program.

Psychological aspects of the formation of professional motivation of students of pedagogical specialties

The article discusses the psychological aspects of the formation of professional motivation of students of pedagogical specialties, and also presents the results of an experimental study of the structure of motivation of university students. Modern requirements for the training of future specialists pose challenges to the university of the formation of professional commitment and motivation of students. A modern graduate who has mastered a particular pedagogical specialty should have such characteristics as high motivation in future pedagogical activity, mobility, purposefulness and competitiveness in the educational sphere. Therefore, it is necessary to create psychological and pedagogical conditions for the organization of the formation and development of professional motivation, contributing to the desire of students for self-realization in professional activities. The formed professional motivation of students of pedagogical specialties contributes to the formation of a competent, mobile, responsible future school teacher with a stable system of spiritual and moral values. The formation of professional motivation of students of pedagogical specialties is a psychological and pedagogical process that requires special, scientifically based methods of diagnosis, analysis and development. Therefore, one of the most urgent today is the problem of the formation of professional motivation of students. By professional motivation we mean a set of factors and processes that encourage and guide an individual to study future professional activity. Effective development of professional education of a person is possible only with a high level of formation of professional motivation, which is an internal determinant of the development of professional competence. Key words: university students, pedagogical specialty, professional motivation, self-organization, psychological and pedagogical conditions, model, motivation structure. &nbsp
