Соревнования по формальной верификации VeHa-2023: опыт проведения

To create modern competitive and trusted software, it is necessary to use knowledge of formal methods. Currently, a huge number of students are studying specialties related to programming. However, when studying at a university, it is difficult to gain the skill of practical application of theoretical knowledge. Short competitions with non-standard, industrial-related problems can arouse students' interest in the field of formal methods. The article describes the first experience of organizing a competition in formal verification of programs among students of Russian universities. The competition was held in conjunction with a seminar on program semantics, specification and verification (PSSV) in Innopolis in November 2023. The format of the competition was close to the format of so-called hackathons. Participants were asked to solve verification problems using predefined model checking and deductive verification tools. We consider the issues of organizing such an event, proposed tasks, results of decisions and feedback from participants.

Источники мотивации и академических достижений студентов: роль родительского контроля и поддержки автономии

Background. The study examines the role of control and autonomy support as two of the most important factors in parenting. A scientific analysis of the consequences of parental control and support for autonomy is necessary both to deepen theoretical understanding of the role of autonomy in relations between parents and children and to develop sound practical recommendations. Objective. The goal is to analyse the direct and indirect (through academic motivation) links of autonomy support and parental control in childhood with the academic achievements of students. Study Participants. Russian university students (N = 281, MA = 19.8, SD = 2.01, 78% female). Methods. Parenting style in childhood (P-PASS), academic motivation, including scales of intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and amotivation, and average academic performance were assessed. Results. The main hypothesis about the positive association between parental autonomy support in childhood and the academic achievements of students, mediated by intrinsic academic motivation, was confirmed. It has been shown that the controlling style is a predictor of external motivation and amotivation, which in turn are negatively related to intrinsic motivation. Conclusion. Results of the study indicate the important role of parental practices, differentiated within self-determination theory for the students’ (de) motivation and academic performance. In particular, the importance of autonomy support and the negative contribution of parental control are shown at much later stages of socialization, the stage of emerging adulthood.

Individual-psychological features of patriotism and value orientations of Russian students

The subject of the study is individual-psychological features of patriotism and value orientations of Russian students. The authors consider patriotism in the context of A.I. Krupnov's system-functional approach. In this case, patriotism acts as a personality property consisting of eight components. Each of the components is represented by harmonic and anharmonic variable. The features of the relationship between patriotism and personality factors and the structure of value orientations are investigated in detail. The authors used the form test of patriotism research "Patriogram" (S. I. Kudinov, A. V. Potemkin); Five-factor personality questionnaire NEO FFI (Costa, McCray) in the adaptation of M. V. Bodunov and S. D. Biryukov; Diagnostic personality questionnaire NEO FFI (Costa, McCray). D. Biryukov; Diagnostics of the real structure of value orientations of personality (S. S. Bubnova). An important result of the study is the revealed statistically reliable features of Russian students' patriotism, as well as the correlations of this property with personality factors and value orientations. The obtained results make it possible to say that patriotism of students of modern Russian universities is characterized by socially significant orientation, aenergy, stenichnost, internality, sociocentricity, meaningfulness and dominant difficulties of operational content in the process of realization of this property of personality. It is also revealed that conscientiousness, openness to experience and extraversion are important personality factors that facilitate the process of student's manifestation of patriotism. In turn, neuroticism aggravates operational and personality difficulties accompanying the realization of patriotism. It was revealed that the values of love and health are interrelated with a stable and emotionally positive manifestation of patriotism, and the value in recognition and respect correlates with sociocentric motivation in the context of the realization of this personality property.

АКТУАЛЬНОЕ СОСТОЯНИЕ И ПРОБЛЕМЫ ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ ИКТ-КОМПЕТЕНТНОСТИ ПРЕПОДАВАТЕЛЯ СОВРЕМЕННОГО ВУЗА

Methodological opportunities for international students acquiring content and language integrated learning in a contemporary educational environment

Russian Federation has consistently ranked among the top ten countries in the world for the number of international students enrolled in secondary and higher education institutions to pursue a specialization. In this context, one of the most crucial and pressing problems of Russian pedagogy is the high-quality education. The current system, however, does not adequately address this issue, as seen by the high number of first-year international students that are expelled each year for not comprehending certain concepts in Russian language. In this regard, the goal of the study was to identify the challenges that prohibit international students from receiving a successful education in Russian universities' junior programs and to devise solutions to these challenges. Monitoring studies were carried out with the help of international students enrolled in the RUDN University's first-year programs for bachelor's, master's, and speciality degrees in order to achieve this objective. The data acquired show that the system of pre-university education for international students has to be modernized in terms of both the Russian language and specific academic areas. Subject-language integration as a learning strategy has enormous methodological promise for raising standards and effectiveness. Content and language integrated learning has a lot of methodological promise for enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of the current system. The author take into account and carefully analyze the technologies and guiding principles of this notion in relation to the duties of preparing international students for pre-university education. The theory and methodology of teaching the Russian language and specialized subjects in the Russian language to foreigners with a professional orientation are being developed by this research, which also helps to develop the conditions for maximizing the educational training of foreign students in Russian universities.

РОЛЬ ПРАЗДНИЧНЫХ МЕРОПРИЯТИЙ В АДАПТАЦИИ ИНОСТРАННЫХ СТУДЕНТОВ РОССИЙСКИХ ВУЗОВ (ИЗ ОПЫТА РАБОТЫ)

The article is dedicated to the topical pedagogical problem of adaptation of foreign students in Russian universities. Authors analyze the experience of adaptation of foreign students who study Russian at the International Education Faculty of Tambov State Technical University. Peculiarities of extracurricular work in the form of festive events aimed at overcoming the boundaries of intercultural communication are revealed. The article touches upon some peculiarities of organizing the celebration of Maslenitsa (Pancake Weak), International Women’s Day, New Year, National Culture Days as well as the complex of events dedicated to the Day of the Victory of Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War. Authors come to the conclusion that the organisation of festive events promotes intercultural dialogue that develops the linguistic-cultural and communicative competence of students, respectful attitude to Russian history and culture. It contributes to the successful adaptation of inofon students to a new sociocultural and educational environment.

Linguacultural Framework for Developing Master’s Students’ Bilingual Rhetorical and Polemical Competences

The development of core humanitarian competencies is one of the crucial issues of modern university humanitarian education, including, in particular, bilingual rhetorical and polemical competences, without which an individual will be unableto take part successfully in international discussions and debates on socially sensitive topics and controversial issues in the humanities. And, although in the new millennium, a number of research studies have tried to open the door to the world of discussions and debates to Russian university students, using for educational purposes this or that format of international discussions or debates, nevertheless, an analysis of the theoretical and applied results of these pedagogical searches, as well as a methodological analysis of rhetoric syllabi and Russian & foreign course-books clearly indicate that students are left in the dark about important sociocultural and linguo-cultural features of international discussion and debate formats. As a result, some Master’s students’ classroom debate experiences do not make them really capable of interacting with representatives of other cultural and linguistic communities in international discussions and debate settings. It seems that the first step to improve this didactic situation is to specify linguocultural components of bilingual rhetorical and polemical competences (in terms of knowledge, skills, sociopsychological attitudes, abilities and personal characteristics of an individual who is able to act as a successful polemist and participant in modern online and offline discussion) on a linguo-didactic analysis of the Euro-Atlantic formats of international discussions and debates as linguocultural phenomena. The paper gives an insight into the author’s vision of a component structure of the above-mentioned general humanitarian competencies in the context of the communicative actionoriented and sociocultural approaches to designing a Master’s degree programme of bilingual communicative education through Russian and foreign languages.

Institutional Models of Scientific Mentoring for Russian University Students: Organizational and Managerial Aspects

The article aims at characterizing the institutional models of Russian university students’ scientific mentoring in the context of managing research activities. The institutional practices of scientific mentoring are an effective way to make an early academic career, to involve and retain talented students in the field of research and development, to popularize and strengthen the social status of science. Meanwhile, the traditional institutional forms existing in Russian universities should be developed and renewed. In addition, some practices of scientific mentoring are informal, which means that they do not have organizational support and conditions for reproduction. We focus on scientific mentoring for students of the first and second levels of higher education (bachelors, specialists, master students), who are considered as a «reserve» of the community of scientific youth. Our conclusions are based on the data of a sociological study carried out in 2023. Therein, we used methods of systematic analysis of scientific literature, of Russian and foreign universities’ websites content. The study included an online survey of 3032 students of Russian universities. The theoretical task is to substantiate the features of scientific mentoring as a scientific and educational institution. We highlight the institutional features and functions of scientific mentoring. Based on empirical data, we present the content of scientific mentoring institutional models, which have developed in modern foreign and Russian universities. The online survey of students showed their involvement in research activities, motivation for it, and the level of their scientific activity. The results of our research can be used in practice – to develop and improve scientific mentoring programs in Russian universities. The paper in general is the first attempt to interpret scientific mentoring from the standpoint of an institutional approach. We summarize the Soviet experience of scientific mentoring, as well as its modern institutional practices in foreign and Russian universities.

Approbation of the Scale of Attitudes towards Intercultural Learning in Higher Education

The ability to cope with the challenges of cultural diversity is one of the key competencies that students need to develop in the contemporary world. This actualizes the question of intercultural learning and students' attitudes towards it. The study aimed at development and validation of the instrument to measure students’ attitudes towards intercultural learning. Taking into account the “sources” and processes of intercultural learning available to students, as well as the structure of the attitude, an instrument consisting of four scales were created - each of them includes three aspects of the attitudes: cognitive, affective and behavioral ones. The reliability and validity of each of the instrument were confirmed on a sample of 399 students of Russian universities using statistical procedures such as exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, analysis of the consistency of the scales according to Cronbach's alpha and McDonald’s omega, analysis of extracted mean variance and heterotrait-monotrait ratio. It seems promising to consider various aspects of intercultural learning in further research, adapting and using the scales not only in the higher education system, but also in other contexts and age groups.

International students’ adjustment to the educational environment of the Russian university: medical and psychological aspect of socio-cultural integration

Introduction. The increase in the number of academic exchange programmes for students contributes to a significant growth in the number of international students in Russian universities who often experience a sense of dislocation and have to adjust to new academic and cultural environments. The key problem of integrating international students into the Russian educational environment is their psychological adjustment, which determines not only their academic attainment, but also indicators of their health and social well-being. The purpose of this article is to identify psychological and medical factors and manifestations of adjustment to the educational environment of the Russian university for international students, as well as to assess their satisfaction with medical and psychological support during their studies at university. Materials and Methods. The study has been conducted on the basis of an anthropo-systemic methodological approach, which implies a focus on improving constructive strategies and resources for students that allow them to overcome various difficulties more effectively, as well as on developing intercultural communication skills, creating internal and external conditions for self-fulfillment. Questionnaires designed to study medical and psychological aspects of the international students’ adjustment to the educational environment of the Russian university were used as research methods. Results. The study has revealed that 33 per cent of participating international students demonstrated ‘low’ and ‘below average’ levels of adjustment. ‘Above average’ and ‘high’ levels of adjustment were revealed in 56 per cent of participants. Only 11 per cent of the sample demonstrated the ‘average’ level of adjustment. At the same time, international students showed a low degree of self-determination in relation to the future career and prospects for personal development and a high demand for assistance in understanding the importance of professionalization and revealing students’ abilities for self-development and self-determination. The analysis of the demand and experience of receiving medical services by international students revealed that about 80% of the participants sought medical help. About 73% of them were fully or partially satisfied with the quality of medical services provided, 10% were dissatisfied with the quality, and 17% found it difficult to assess the quality of medical care. The study reveals the following drawbacks in the complex work implemented by university departments responsible for optimizing psychological and medical indicators of international students’ adaptation: time-limits for the examination of patients by a medical worker, difficulties in communication between a specialist and an international student determined by language and cultural barriers, as well as the fact that ‘supporting’ university staff insufficiently take into account the above-mentioned low degree of international students’ self-determination. Conclusions. The conducted research has identified a range of degrees in international students’ adjustment to the Russian educational environment with a small number of individuals with an average degree of adjustment. The main unfavorable psychological factor in the international students’ adjustment is low level of their professional self-determination and insufficient formation of personal development prospects. The level and availability of medical care provided to international students in Russia satisfy most of them. The key problem that reduces international students’ satisfaction with the quality of medical services is difficulties in social communication with employees of medical institutions.

Improving Financial Literacy of Students: Specificity and Opportunities of Regional Higher Education Institutions

Introduction. Despite the significant measures and programs implemented by the countryʼs leadership to improve the financial literacy of the Russian population, students of Russian universities are still not financially literate enough. In this regard, it is necessary to develop and implement a set of intra-university educational practice-oriented technologies that can improve financial literacy and economic independence of students during the period of university education. The purpose of the article is to show the features and opportunities of regional universities of the country in solving the problem of improving financial literacy of student youth. Materials and Methods. The study of the problem of formation of financial literacy of student youth during university education was conducted on the basis of a questionnaire survey of 565 students from 29 universities of the Russian Federation in May‒June 2022 using a specially designed questionnaire via Google Forms. The results of the questionnaire survey were processed using the SPSS program and the method of comparative analysis of responses of students of leading (federal, national research, metropolitan) and regional Russian universities, which made it possible to identify and analyze the peculiarities of studentsʼ financial literacy formation depending on the status of their higher education institution Results. Self-assessment of students of regional universities of their financial literacy showed its low level, indicating the insufficiency or lack of serious knowledge in the financial sphere. At the same time, students understand the importance of financial literacy and indicate their willingness to participate in various forms of training on this issue. To implement the educational process aimed at intensive formation of studentsʼ financial literacy, the system of continuous practice-oriented formation of financial literacy is proposed. Discussion and Conclusion. The materials of the article can be useful in the organization of educational process in universities to improve financial literacy of students. In the future, the study will be supplemented by analyzing the formation of studentsʼ financial literacy at different stages of education on the basis of taking into account the influence of age, year of study and other factors.

Изучение русского языка как иностранного в техническом вузе в аспекте культурно-ориентированного подхода

Introduction. The article deals with the issue of studying the Russian language as a foreign language in a technical university in the aspect of a culturally oriented campaign. Theoretical analysis of the material on this issue allows us to note the relevance of this study and formulate a conclusion about the need to use a culturally oriented approach in a technical university, thanks to which foreigners can be adapted to a foreign-language socio-cultural environment. A number of problems are identified that impede the effective assimilation of the Russian language. Empirical analysis, based on the methods of practical observation and comparison of the level of foreign students’ language skills, allows us to identify the conditions for successful education of foreign students in Russian universities and some “difficulties”, overcoming which helps stimulate the learning process. The special role of the teacher of Russian as a foreign language is determined. As an illustrative example, a brief description of the preparation of a practical excursion is given, which allows foreign students to immerse themselves in a foreign culture. In conclusion it is concluded that a culturally oriented approach is one of the main ones in teaching foreign students the Russian language, as it forms foreigners’ respect for a foreign culture and contributes to the comprehensive development of the individual.

Ecological awarenessof students (case study of attitudes towards the impact of the fashion industry on the environment)

Environmental regulation becomes an indispensable activity for preserving human life. The negative impact of the fashion industry on the environment is growing. The article presents the results of an empirical study conducted by the authors using the survey method in Spring 2023. The aim of the research is to determine the attitudes of contemporary Russian students to the impact of the fashion industry on the environment. The subject of the research are full-time students of Russian universities. The article considers the following issues: the involvement of young people in the consumer behavior of fashion industry products; the orientation of young people on the environmental promises of fashion brands when choosing goods; the consideration of price factors when deciding to buy fashion products; young people’s ideas about environmental and non-environmental fashion brands; awareness of the harmful effects of the fashion industry on the environment; the question of young people’s willingness to change their consumption patterns in order to reduce the negative impact of the fashion industry on the environment; the need to follow social practices related to environmental principles in the context of consumption of fashion industry products in everyday life. The conclusion has been made that it is necessary to develop communication campaigns aimed at the target audience of young people, which will highlight the issues of eco-friendly practices, environmentally friendly behavior, disclose the consequences of the negative impact of the fashion industry on the environment.

The choice of a technical specialty by students of Russian universities: generational analysis

The article deals with the inheritance of technical professions for three generations of the family. The relevance of the study is due to the need of studying the influence of the family on the educational, professional, and cultural capital of students. The main issues of the project are the educational and professional paths of several generations of the family, family capital, motives for choosing a technical profession by students of Russian universities, dynasties of technical specialists, the collection of biographical works as a method of empirical sociology. The autobiographies written by the students of technical specialties of Russian higher educational institutions were analyzed. The educational experience of parents, grandparents of informants was studied. The author presents the classification of professions of the older generations of the family. The texts were processed using specialized computer programs. It is established that the technical profession is leading in the list of occupations of the older generations of the students' family. The second place is occupied by workers in the field of economics. In the dynasties of technical specialists, the main factor in choosing a profession is the inheritance of family professional, educational, cultural and social capital. In other families, the main motives for choosing a technical education and profession are the abilities and interests of the student, as well as the prospects of a high income. Inheritance of a profession closes the ranking of reasons for admission to technical faculties. A methodological analysis of the collection of biographical works was carried out. The approach minimizes the presence of the researcher at the field stage of the project implementation, allows the use of computer text processing, is relevant to the study of generational issues in sociology. Among the disadvantages of the method is the incompleteness of the primary information received. The results of the project can be used to solve the tasks of social policy in the fields of labor, education and family. The experience of generational analysis of biographical materials is important to sociology.

The use of case technology in the study of the discipline «Spiritual-moral and civil-patriotic education of students» with students of a pedagogical profile

Introduction. Modern socio-economic realities have actualized the issues of spiritual and moral education in the process of professional development of students of Russian universities, including the problems of content, the hierarchy of spiritual and moral values of students, their pedagogical regulation by adequate methodological means. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the effectiveness of case technology as a way of designing and solving problematic moral situations in the study of works of Russian classical and modern literature within the framework of the new discipline "Spiritual-moral and civil-patriotic education of students". Materials and methods. The methods of questioning, qualitative analysis of statistical data, written survey in essay format were applied. The survey involved 40 respondents from among the first-year students of the direction «Pedagogical education (with two training profiles)» of the Philological Faculty of the North-Eastern Federal University. Results. It was revealed that universal human values are most important for respondents: «life» (82.5%), «human rights and freedoms» (80%), «dignity» (32.5%), «strong family» (25%), «humanism» (20%), «mutual assistance and mutual respect» (20%). The least significant sociocentric values in Russian culture are «service to the Fatherland and responsibility for its destiny», «unity of the peoples of Russia», «collectivism», «historical memory and continuity of generations», «patriotism». The use of case technology made it possible to change the hierarchy of spiritual and moral values of future teachers of the Russian language and literature: at the final stage of the pedagogical experiment, universal values remained a priority for students, however, sociocentric values in the process of studying the course «Spiritual, moral and civil-patriotic education of students» became more significant than at the initial stage of the study. Conclusion. In scientific research, there are different approaches to determining the list of spiritual and moral values that are relevant for today's generation of students; it is possible to transform the hierarchy of these values in the context of the changing realities of the socio-cultural sphere of the country. The choice of values within the framework of the academic discipline is carried out primarily by the teacher, taking into account the peculiarities of the spiritual and moral environment of the university and the student target audience. Regulation of the hierarchy of spiritual and moral values of students is most fruitful with the use of problematic, student-oriented approaches to learning and dialogization of training sessions. These requirements are best met by case technology. As the main content for the development of cases in teaching students - future teachers of the Russian language and literature, works of art of a small genre by modern authors should be used.

Research Culture of Russian University Students

The article is devoted to the summarizing results of the sociological study of the re- search culture of students (February-April 2023, n=3,032 people). The aim of the article was to iden- tify its features and contradictions in the conditions of modern Russian universities. The productivity of the theoretical and methodological framework for studying this problem, developed on the basis of L.N. Kogan’s approach, is argued. The article proposes to consider the research culture as a way of developing the essential forces of students and to identify its structural elements such as cognitive, axiological and praxeological. In accordance with the theoretical and methodological approach, the characteristic of the research culture of students is given. The results of the survey allowed us to conclude that the majority of students have an interest in science and scientific knowledge as values, and at the same time – about the formation of a critical assessment of the risks that research produces among students who are active in scientific terms. The problem areas of students’ research competencies that prevent the “seamless” integration of student and “adult” science, including meth- odological and organizational ones, have been identified. Such problematic features of the praxe- ological block of students’ research culture as their low involvement in publication practices and tol- erance to unethical research practices are shown. The significant influence of teachers and scientific mentors performing activating and socializing functions on the formation of the research culture of students is substantiated. The practical significance of the research lies in a comprehensive under- standing of the state of the research culture of students of Russian universities, identifying factors that influence (positively or negatively) its formation and development. On this basis, it is possible to develop scientifically based programs for the academic development of students, especially in terms of its scientific track.

Роль русскоязычных и англоязычных вузовских образовательных программ для студентов-иностранцев в расширении возможностей экспорта российского образования

The study aims to identify ways to improve the Russian education export strategy by choosing the most optimal language model for the implementation of university educational programs for foreign students. The paper analyzes two main ways of education export in the form of English-language and Russian-language university educational programs for foreign youth. In particular, the advantages and disadvantages of the implementation of these language models were identified both from the perspective of universities and foreign students enrolled in Russian universities. In addition, options for the likely medium-term and long-term impact of the two language models on the education sector, Russia’s migration and economic policy as a whole were considered. As a result of examining various parameters of university programs for foreigners in Russian and English, it was proved that the model of Russian-language university education for foreign students allows for the most complete implementation of the Russian education export strategy in terms of the formation of a widely recognized and highly demanded brand of Russian higher education abroad, as well as in attracting a large contingent of foreign youth and creating favorable conditions for the training of foreign students in Russian universities. The scientific novelty of the paper lies in substantiating the need for priority implementation of the Russian-language model of higher education for foreign students in Russia in order to significantly expand the opportunities of Russian education export. In addition, the paper shows that the effective implementation of the Russian education export strategy based on the specified language model of educational programs requires the creation of mass pre-university training courses for foreign youth in Russian as a foreign language in the most promising countries for attracting applicants.
