The new industrial revolution Industry 4.0 determines several trends in digital technologies, among which there is the Internet of things – a network of digital devices that communicate with each other via the Internet. The areas of the Internet of things application are quite broad: industrial technologies, remote technologies of service and every-day life, educational technologies. Modern digital technologies must be included in the content of technological education at school and in the training of technology teachers. This is also determined by the national projects «Digital Economy» and «Education», which are currently being implemented. The purpose of the article is to consider the technologies of the Internet of things as the content of educational course for future technology teachers. An analysis of educational programs and training courses on the Internet of things shows that these programs are designed, implemented and they are actual for technical universities. However, the Internet of things is not included in educational programs for training technology teachers. And this is a problem since technology educational course at school should demonstrate modern digital technologies, including the Internet of things, and this requires appropriate technological and methodological training of technology teachers. We have proposed an educational course «Internet of Things», which is an integral part of «Digital Technologies» section within the educational programs for training technology teachers in Syktyvkar University. The purpose of the discipline is to familiarize students with the basics of the Internet of things technology. As a result of learning the discipline, the student must: know the terminology, hardware and software for implementing the Internet of things technologies; be able to use the acquired knowledge in educational and professional activities; know the basics of the Internet of things. The content of the discipline includes four sections: Introduction to the Internet of things; Technical means of the Internet of things; Network technology of the Internet of things; Services, applications and models of the Internet of things. The laboratory practical work of the discipline is implemented in three cycles of classes: study of algorithms for connecting various sensors and control devices to Arduino controllers; learning technologies for remote interaction with Arduino controllers; carrying out mini-projects based on case technology. The proposed course allows future technology teachers to acquire competences in the field of modern digital technologies.

This study deals with the problems of foreign military personnel adaptation in the system of pre-University training in higher military educational institutions of the Russian Federation. Due to the increasing contingent of foreign militaries, according to the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 204 of May 7, 2018, we need a scientifically grounded approach to the process of foreign military personnel training in higher military schools of the Russian Federation, especially at the stage of preparatory course. In the main courses, foreign militaries are trained according to the approved guidelines for Russian cadets and students, but at the preparatory course, there are methodological flaws in the part related to the guidelines, namely in the list of competences that the graduate of the preparatory course should acquire. According to the author, one of the most important competences of the military University preparatory course graduate is that of adaptation. To successfully master this competence, which is formed from the types of adaptations, it is necessary to create a system of multi-aspect adaptation training. This system should include the interaction of several units of a military University: special faculty, Russian language chair, medical service, department for work with personnel, scientific work organization department. The aim of this study is to create a model of multi-aspect adaptation system of foreign personnel training on the basis of the modeling method together with the theoretical analysis and observation. The choice of method allows us to determine relations and functions of the system components, to investigate the principles of separate units’ interaction in the organization of the foreign military personnel training on the basis of the analysis and observation. The study revealed some drawbacks of the existing system of foreign military personnel training on the preparatory stage, such as the absence of adaptability competence, one of the main competences of the preparatory course graduate, which is not identified as one of the leading along with the communicative competence of the preparatory course graduate, and it is not reflected in the regulatory documents. In this regard, there are no methodological recommendations for this competence formation, and there is no controlling mechanism for mastering this competence. As a result of the study it is found that the model of the multi-aspect adaptation system of foreign military personnel training allows us: a) to eliminate methodological gaps in the regulatory documents; b) to involve additional units of the military University - medical service, department for work with personnel, scientific work organization department, along with the Russian language chair and the special faculty, in the systematic and consistent training of foreign personnel. The author also briefly describes, based on the results of the study, what functions should be performed by these units, and also offers methodological support for the system of multi-aspect adaptation training.

Inclusive processes in professional education are considered in the context of building an inclusive vertical line at the present stage of society development. They are also understood as a condition for people with disabilities to achieve an independent life, their professional self-realization. The purpose of the research presented in the article is, firstly, to analyze modern scientific ideas and approaches to the problem of inclusive education, secondly, to highlight the factors and specific understanding of this problem by students, and thirdly, to identify the representation features of inclusive education significant aspects in the minds of students with disabilities studying at the University, using the method of semi-formalized interview. Based on the results of empirical research, it is shown that the leading aspects of inclusive education for students with disabilities are humanistic and relational aspects, at the same time, they are characterized by a certain underestimation of the professional component of training. Risks, as well as ways to overcome them, are objectified by them in the sphere of relationships that ensure public recognition, and in the field of self-perception, reflecting the level of educational achievements and the degree of their social demand, which emphasizes the priority importance of the socio-psychological climate in a particular student group to achieve true inclusion. The theoretical significance of the article is determined by the fact that modern approaches to inclusive education are systematized, in the context of which aspects, significant for development of inclusive processes in professional education, are interpreted, and the category of relations is problematized as crucial for understanding the prospects and trends of inclusive professional education. The practical significance of the article is that the presented research results can form a scientific basis for designing an inclusive educational environment at the University and determining the directions of psychological and pedagogical support for students with disabilities for their social and professional adaptation.

Inclusive professional education of persons with disabilities is one of the priorities of modern society. It is considered as a factor of their inclusion in the socio-economic processes and living independent life. Today, despite the increased attention to this problem on the part of the scientific community and practitioners, there are many unresolved issues that require new approaches to human development of students with disabilities at the University. The purpose of the study, the results of which are reflected in the article, is to substantiate the opportunities of resource-environmental approach for the development of human potential of students with disabilities through positive transformations of the University educational environment using social and educational practices. The article analyzes and substantiates the possibility of integrating environmental and resource approaches to solve the problem of inclusive processes development in the University, creating an inclusive educational environment characterized by comfort and the necessary diversity of conditions for inclusion of students with disabilities in the University community. The authors of the article discuss from a scientific point of view both domestic and foreign approaches to the category of environment in relation to the category of resources in an interdisciplinary paradigm, which allows us to highlight the phenomenological characteristics of an inclusive educational environment on the example of a University. The authors, on the basis of practical application of resource-environmental approach, propose a model of University educational environment transformation in the direction of greater inclusion of students with disabilities due to introduction of social and educational practices, reflecting different aspects of the inclusion problem in the content aspect. Based on the results of the empirical study, the authors conclude about the effectiveness of this model for the solution the problem of human development of students with disabilities at the stage of professional training. The theoretical significance of the article is expressed in the fact that the authors show heuristic opportunities of environmental and resource approaches integration to create conditions for the development of the human potential of students with disabilities at the University. The practical significance of the article is determined by the fact that the proposed model of the educational environment transformation can be used in the design of both organizational and managerial, as well as psychological and pedagogical components of the support of inclusive processes at the University.

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 problem of learning and acquiring good command of foreign languages by students of non-linguistic universities has many aspects of consideration and new approaches, but it has not been fully researched. One of these approaches is related to the national mentality of students. The relevance of this study lies in the fact that the relationship between mentality and language from a scientific point of view is investigated recently. Despite the available research works in this area, this issue has not yet been sufficiently studied. Hence it can be concluded that the mentality and learning foreign languages are interrelated and require further research. The aim of this work is to study the influence of national mentality on learning a foreign language by students of non-linguistic universities (on the example of the mentality of the Sakha people). Leading approaches to achieve the objectives of the study are: linguistic-cultural approach that will help to determine the influence of living national language, material and spiritual culture on language processes; process approach, determining the whole complex of continuously running mental processes in foreign language learning for simulation of the activity results; situational approach, identifying the opportunity to improve learning of a foreign language, taking into account the influence of the student’s national mentality. The study will result in determining the level of the national mentality influence on a foreign language learning. The national-specific features of the mentality of Yakut and English linguistic and cultural communities representatives will be revealed and the ways of their influence on the process of teaching a foreign language will be determined. The comparative analysis of Yakut and English national mentality features (national character, socionic types and concept spheres of Yakut and English languages) contributes to the development of a foreign language teaching model, taking into account the peculiarities of students’ mentality in order to overcome their difficulties in learning a foreign language. Our proposed approach to determining the influence of national mentality on foreign language learning by students of non-linguistic universities will provide an opportunity to develop a model of effective foreign language teaching, taking into account the peculiarities of the national mentality, namely the mentality of the Sakha people.

Training of professional teachers is necessary for constantly updating Russian education, striving to meet all the social needs of modern society and quickly respond to systemic technological, scientific and methodological development in the field of education. They should not only possess special knowledge and professional skills, but also be able to quickly find new original solutions to professionally oriented problems, make informed decisions based on existing professional ideas, skills, experience and value systems.
