The relevance of the problem under study is due to the importance of a realistic and comprehensive analysis of the environmental education implementing practice in higher education, taking into account the principle of different disciplines interrelation. Today, the main attention is focused on the formation of universal competences among future teachers, including the ability to maintain a certain level of preparedness to ensure full range of professional and social activities, as well as create and maintain safe living conditions. Moreover, the practice of higher education shows that the integration of disciplines content, the ability to solve professional problems based on the knowledge of a complex of related scientific fields have not changed for the better. Many negative opinions are still being expressed, the reason for which may be insufficient study of the factors contributing to the formation of integrative professionally significant characteristics. One of these characteristics is the socio-ecological preparedness of the future teacher to improve the health of preschool children. The purpose of our study is to develop the main approaches to diagnosing the level of the future teachers’ social and ecological preparedness formation to improve the health of preschool children. The article reveals the author’s point of view on the criterion-level assessment system, and also shows the substantial characteristics of the studied type preparedness formation levels: adaptive-reproductive, interpretive-constructive and transformative. The practical significance of the work lies in the opportunity to demonstrate clearly the substantive side of the diagnostics process of future teachers’ social and ecological preparedness formation, specifying the component structure, relevant criteria and indicators of preparedness formation. The analysis of the diagnostic work within the framework of the stated goal allows us to reach the conclusion about the state of the issue under study in the practice of higher pedagogical educations, to identify the most problematic aspects for planning the appropriate work to increase the level of socio-ecological preparedness of the future teachers to improve the health of preschool children. The described form of work can become the basis for changes of the theory and practice of the future teachers’ social and ecological preparedness formation to improve children’s health in the conditions of the higher pedagogical school.

The relevance of the studied problem is determined by the requirements to the personality of a modern teacher for the implementation of socio-ecological education of students in the conditions of environmental crisis and sustainable development of society. The importance of professional training of future teachers in order to implement the tasks of socio-environmental education and pedagogical activity in this area is emphasized in the Environmental doctrine, the Concept of sustainable development, the Concept of continuous environmental education, etc. The purpose of the research is to determine the significance of the socio-ecological approach in the professional training of future teachers for the socio-ecological education of students. The article presents the leading approaches to the study of the phenomenon of socio-ecological approach, as well as the author's view of the socio-ecological approach as a theoretical and methodological one that determines the content and process component of the professional training of future teachers for socio-ecological education of students. The socio-ecological approach in education combines social and ecological approaches, which integrates the sciences and allows for a more holistic study of certain problems, such as the development of socio-ecological education, formation of environmental culture, socio-ecological interaction of the individual in a socio-natural environment, etc. According to foreign studies, the socio-ecological approach involves 4 components: population, environment, technology and organization, which is reflected in the pedagogical system of continuous ecological education in the University, including subjects of the educational process ecologically sound educational environment, technology, forms, methods of socio-ecological education, process of design and organization of professional training for the upcoming activities on social-ecological education of students. The socio-ecological approach is based on the interdisciplinary principle, which promotes the interaction of two or more scientific disciplines, each of them acting independently, but involves combining efforts in solving and studying certain problems. This interdisciplinary science is social ecology. The practical significance of the research is that the results obtained, as well as the textbook "Social ecology" can be used in the process of designing the content of socio-environmental education in higher education and in the development of socio-environmental education of future teachers.

The relevance of the problem under study is due to the need to include volunteer activities in the structure of professional training of future teachers, contributing to the formation of significant sociocultural values. The importance of including this component in the educational process of higher school is emphasized in the Concept for the development of volunteering in the Russian Federation, in the letter of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated September 11, 2020 "On the inclusion of educational modules in the main professional and additional professional educational programs": Sample program of the discipline (module) "Organization of volunteer activities and interaction with socially oriented non-commercial organizations." The purpose of the study is to determine the components and mechanisms of the formation of social and cultural values among future teachers through volunteer activities. The authors present the leading theoretical and methodological approaches to the formation of social and cultural values (axiological, systemic activity-oriented, personality-oriented, competence-based approaches) and key vectors and components that make it possible to determine the level of their formation in future teachers. The competence-based approach is noted as basic one in terms of both the formation of empirical skills and the development of sociocultural components. This approach is of particular relevance in line with the introduction of a new generation of federal state standards of higher education, providing for the inclusion in the educational component of disciplines that allow the formation of personal socio-cultural values of future teachers. In addition, the article defines the leading research methods of the problem, which make it possible to assess the motivational, cognitive and reflexive components, as well as to identify the ratio of components, criteria and indicators of the formation of sociocultural values. The practical significance of the research lies in the determination of the main mechanisms of the formation of socio-cultural values among future teachers. The main mechanism is the inclusion of students in volunteer teams.

In Russia with its multinational population, the relevance of theoretical and practical study of the conditions for multicultural education of children in preschool educational organizations is due to the need to develop the national community of Russian citizens. The problem of the formation of ethnic tolerance and interethnic communication takes an important place among many problems associated with preschool education. The renewal of modern Russian education should be accompanied everywhere by an intensive search for ways to improve the pedagogical process in a multicultural educational environment. Pre-school education, aimed at solving the problem of the formation of ethnic tolerance among older preschoolers in a multicultural educational environment, is an integral part of this process. The modern system of Russian education needs now teachers who are able to resolve interethnic related conflicts in order to eliminate national isolation, interethnic tension and to prevent the aggravation of ethnic phobias among preschool children, which directly depends on the formation of ethnic tolerance between peers by teachers in preschool educational organizations. This factor determines the importance of teachers' readiness to develop ethnic tolerance in older preschoolers. The purpose of our research is to work out and test in practice a model of the readiness of the future teacher of preschool education to develop ethnic tolerance in older preschoolers. Research methods: theoretical (analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature), empirical (experiment). The theoretical significance of the study lies in the fact that it reveals the importance of the development of ethnic tolerance in older preschool children; clarifies the concept of teachers' readiness for the development of ethnic tolerance; describes the structure and content characteristics of the readiness of the future teacher of preschool education for the development of ethnic tolerance; a model is developed to increase the level of readiness of future preschool education teachers for the development of ethnic tolerance among older preschool children. The practical significance is in determining the psychological and pedagogical conditions for the formation of the readiness of future preschool education teachers to develop ethnic tolerance in older preschoolers. The developed model can be used in the process of professional development of teaching staff through institutes of advanced training.

The relevance and significance of the study are due to the trends in the development of Russian education. Modern higher pedagogical education is focused on the formation of the personality of a future teacher, ready for changes in society through the improvement of creative abilities, the ability to communicate effectively and cooperate with other students, as well as motivation to solve educational problems. At all stages of the learning process, the professional motivation of the future teacher has become of great importance as a special personality trait that allows one to improve and develop professionally. In this regard, the question arises: what are the ways to increase the professional motivation of the future teacher in the process of studying at a pedagogical university? Objectives of the study: to clarify the concept of "professional motivation of the future teacher" in the context of modern pedagogical experience, to identify ways and forms of increasing motivation in the process of teaching at a pedagogical university. The subject of the study is the professional motivation of the future teacher in the process of studying at a pedagogical university. The study used a comprehensive approach, including the analysis of scientific literature, as well as a questionnaire, which allows determining the initial level of formation of professional motivation of future teachers. The authors of the article identified ways to increase the professional motivation of a future teacher in the process of studying at a pedagogical university, studied their role in the professional development of a future teacher, identified the main factors, methods and means that influence the process under study, and analyzed the motivation of a future teacher to work in pedagogical sphere. The authors of the work present the results of a study of the initial level of the formation of professional motivation of future teachers in the process of training at a pedagogical university, which was carried out on the basis of the Mordovian State Pedagogical University named after M. E. Evsevyev. Based on the results obtained, we can conclude that pedagogical activity requires from the future teacher certain qualities and incentives for its implementation and depends on competently set goals and objectives of pedagogical activity. The work has a theoretical significance, as it characterizes the algorithm of actions for the formation of professional motivation of the future teacher in the process of training at a pedagogical university: drawing up a “map of motivators”, forming and developing a pedagogical orientation, stimulating and developing a set of competences, using the practice-oriented approach for the formation of professional motivation of the future teacher. The practical significance of the work lies in the fact that its results can be used to improve the process of forming the professional motivation of a future teacher in the process of studying at a pedagogical university, as well as in teaching practice, etc.
