Modification of the educational environment in the process of teaching students a foreign language in college requires the development of fundamentally new approaches to the organization of educational work, which allows us to take into account the maximum number of various factors that have some influence on the process of learning a foreign language in college, its quality and results. At present, a very small number of scientific works are devoted to the study of changes in the educational environment in the process of teaching students a foreign language in college. At the same time, it becomes more and more obvious that the improvement of vocational education quality in the process of teaching a foreign language may be achieved only by activating all the educational factors, included in the educational environment, integrating them into a harmonious unity and appropriate modification. These circumstances determine the relevance of the research topic. The aim of the research in the article is to identify and determine the directions of the educational environment modification in the process of teaching students a foreign language in college. The article is prepared on the basis of the following methods: theoretical analysis and synthesis of domestic and foreign literature on the topic of the study, pedagogical observation and the method of analyzing the educational environment in the process of teaching students a foreign language in the College of Modern Technologies named after Hero of the Soviet Union M.F. Panov (Moscow). According to the results of the research, the article presents the directions of the educational environment modification in the process of teaching students a foreign language in college, the essence and methods of implementing the modified educational environment in accordance with various tasks during learning foreign languages. The theoretical significance of the research: the main methodological positions concerning the problem of the organization of the educational environment in the process of teaching a foreign language in the system of secondary vocational education (SVE) are analyzed and summarized. The practical significance of the research results: we identified the key factors affecting the emotional condition of students and interfering with productive educational activity in certain classrooms during learning foreign languages within the framework of skilled workers training system. Key directions of the educational environment modification in the process of teaching students a foreign language in college have been identified and determined. The main provisions and conclusions may be used in the process of academic staff training and upgrade training courses for college teachers.

The relevance of this work is determined by the need to implement the principle of continuity in education, not only in the transition school-University, but also in the study of individual mathematical disciplines. This ensures the establishment of strong inter-disciplines relations and is one of the most important components in the formation of the future University graduate competences, as it contributes to the wide application of knowledge in various fields. This issue is examined on the example of studying the questions of second-order curves orthogonality within the discipline "Ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations". Students first broach the topic “Second-order curves” starting from grade 7, and they are constantly referring to it throughout the school mathematics course. Then students expand their knowledge about the properties of these curves and study their canonical equations within the University program. Meanwhile, students comprehend the full picture only after they study differential geometry and apply mathematical analysis to solve some tasks related to finding tangents and normals to the line on the plane, as well as finding the distance from the point to the curve. The purpose of this article is to reveal the potentials of the discipline "Ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations" for generalization of students ' knowledge on the topic "Second-order curves" on the example of the concept "orthogonality of plane curves". The main argument is that it is possible to combine both geometrical and functional approaches within this discipline, and also to use tools of the mathematical analysis. The article provides recommendations in the framework of methods of this discipline teaching to achieve these purposes. Namely, a series of tasks on the topic "Orthogonal trajectories" is given, which allows us to return to the second-order curves once again, to systematize and expand the knowledge previously available to students. At the same time, the solution of these tasks makes it possible to work out the necessary skills within the discipline itself on the available material, which will easily illustrate the results obtained and show their consistency with the previously known facts from the school and University course of mathematics. One of the main approaches to the study of this problem is an integrative approach, which helps to ensure the integrity and continuity of the educational program content during the transition from school mathematics to higher mathematics. It also helps to establish strong interdisciplinary connections between different sections of higher mathematics. The article studies the potentials of the discipline "Ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations" to establish interdisciplinary connections within mathematical disciplines, such as geometry, analytical geometry, differential geometry and mathematical analysis on the example of the topic "Second-order curves". The practical significance of the article lies in the fact that it provides an indicative list of practical tasks with solutions that can be used in the process of teaching this discipline to achieve the above mentioned purposes.

The urgency of the problem under study is dictated by the trends in the formation of the global educational space, as well as the increasing role of information communication technologies and distance learning technologies in educational practice. Under the current conditions in the education system, it is necessary to create an organizational and educational structure specializing in design-network and scientific-service support for the innovative development of educational organizations called “educational co-working”. This article is devoted to the analysis of this structure. The aim of the research is to analyze functioning of the co-working research and educational space and its digital version as a network design platform for cooperation of young scientists, educators and innovators, Russian and foreign scientists and experts, operating on the basis of Pyatigorsk State University. The study was conducted using the method of comparative analysis of co-working spaces design in economic systems, sociological research, and business education. The authors use the method of conceptual modeling of educational polypositional space to co-organize subjects of the scientific and educational process at the university. The analysis resulted in the formulation of key characteristics of the co-working educational space model. The model of the co-working educational space allows us to ensure the satisfaction of the educational and adaptation needs of individual participants, real companies, the needs of modern society using the potential of the educational space of the Caucasian Mineral Waters region. The practical significance of the results is in the description of social technologies aimed at developing and improving the practice of teaching undergraduates, graduate and postgraduate students the fundamentals of project activities; description of distance learning technologies use in the electronic version of co-working space; description of academic student-expert communities establishment in universities.

Nowadays, the issue of teaching Language for Specific Purposes to students of non-linguistic majors and the necessity to form professionally significant competence by means of a foreign language are paid much attention to, both in our country and abroad. This makes the present article relevant. The purpose of the article is to show the peculiarity of mastering a foreign language by students of non-linguistic majors. This peculiarity determines the topics chosen for classes and the requirements for the training material. The authors of the article aimed at examining the effectiveness of sources of media content used in teaching Language for Specific Purposes to students of non-linguistic majors. The authors also offer questions and tasks based on Ted Talks. Ted Talks is an open educational resource comprising presentations at conferences on different topics. The research is based on the contextual approach to teaching Language for Specific Purposes, which presupposes that information should be perceived in context by modelling content area of professional activity at English classes. As a result of the research, the authors revealed and explained the advantages of Ted Talks. The research showed that such Internet resources help to form professional competence by means of a foreign language and allow students to use a foreign language successfully in their future profession and be ready for cross-cultural communication. Theoretical significance of the article lies in the contribution it makes to the creation of professional environment for communication by means of modern educational technologies that will allow students to plunge into foreign language environment, witness cultural-specific realities and hear modern foreign speech. The results of the research may be used for further study of the problem of teaching Language for Specific Purposes. Practical significance of the article is in the possibility to use offered tasks at English classes with 2nd -4th year students of economic majors depending on their level of English.

The urgency of the problem under study is in an attempt to design the formation model of scientific creative potential of a master's level student in the context of this process concept. To immerse the future master in the innovative educational environment of the university, it is necessary to develop his scientific and creative potential. However, the conceptual provisions of the graduate student scientific and creative potential formation process are insufficiently substantiated in the theory and practice of higher education pedagogy; it is necessary to settle issues of the development of scientific potential concept formation. The purpose of the work is to acquaint readers with the theoretical and practical aspects of designing the model of modern graduate students’ scientific creative potential formation. The leading approach to the study of the problem is the design of a graduate student’s scientific creative potential formation. The following approaches and principles are chosen as a conceptual basis for designing: the system-target approach, the principles of consistency and goal-setting; personality-oriented approach and the principle of cultural and historical development; a subject-oriented approach, including the principle of personality subjectivity; anthropological approach, including the principles of eventfulness, nature conformance, cultural congruence; synergistic-integrative approach and the principles of differentiation, synergism and integration; competence-oriented approach. The leading approach is subject-oriented one, based on a graduate student’s subjectivity development principle. The main results of the article are in designing the formation of scientific creative potential of the modern graduate student based on the working out indicative markers (indicators) of this process success, which consists in creating conditions for the development of the graduate student as a subject of research and practical scientific activity. The theoretical and practical significance of the article lies in working out components and indicators of the master's level student’s scientific creative potential formation in the discourse of this process concept. The practical significance of the study lies in the adaptability and focus on improving the quality of master's education.

The urgency of the investigated problem lies in the fact that the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education and the professional standard of a specialist in the field of journalism at the present stage of teaching prescribe mastery of theoretical and practical parts for university students. Meanwhile, the disciplines related to mastering the theoretical part are developed quite well, and the issues of organizing practice and independent work are solved by universities on an individual basis. Thus, universities geographically distant from megacities, when organizing educational practical work, face the problem of the lack of opportunities for students’ independent work due to the limited airtime allocated by regional media. Due to these circumstances, there is a need to work out practical recommendations for the organization of independent work of students whose area of training is 42.03.02 "Journalism". Thus, the purpose of the article is to analyze the organization of independent work of students in the areas of creative orientation. The study of the problem of organizing students’ independent work was carried out by analyzing the scientific literature in this field, as well as using the methods of interviewing and questioning students for the relevance of the independent work forms used by university teachers. As a result, it was revealed that the time restrictions determined by the curriculum do not allow students to develop sustainable professional skills in the creative areas of training. Students must gain the necessary knowledge and practical skills for professional activity themselves. Academic staff of universities successfully solves questions of theoretical education, but at the same time does not allow students to immerse themselves in the "full-length" process of journalist work because pedagogical theorists are not, as a rule, professional journalists, that is, they have no practical experience. Available practical and methodological manuals do not always meet the requirements of the rapidly developing creative profession as well. Hence, the main forms of independent work of students are determined, which will be aimed at the formation of professional competences of future journalists. Materials of the article may be interesting for the academic staff of universities, teachers of educational institutions, teachers of elective courses in journalism.

The relevance of the study is due to the need to introduce activity-type technologies in the educational practice of training specialists. Interactive learning technologies contribute to the formation of professional knowledge and skills through professional experience. Modern didactics substantiated the developing potential of practice-oriented educational technologies, which make it possible to organize the process of forming the necessary professional and universal competences most successfully, taking into account the specifics of the future profession. This allows to bridge the gap between the theorized knowledge of classical universities graduates and the necessary specific skills of specialists. The most successful practice-oriented technologies are imitating (gaming and non-gaming) learning technologies. The aim of the work is to study the developing potential of simulation technologies (using the foresight session as an example) in preparing teachers for activities in risk, determining the conditions for successful application of simulation technologies in the information educational environment of the university, and describing the methodology of using the foresight technology in the university's educational process. While conducting the study, the authors used such methods as comparative analysis and pedagogical modeling. As a result of the study, we made an analysis of domestic and foreign scientific literature on the organization of practice-oriented learning, the use of interactive simulation technologies in the educational process of the university, and a model for the implementation of a foresight session on preparing teachers to deal with risks. The proposed model of a foresight session on preparing teachers to deal with risks is being implemented on the basis of the Institute of Psychology and Education of Kazan Federal University (KFU) as a part of the information and educational project "Safe educational environment". The foresight session technology allows students to gain experience in dealing with risk situations in simulated and controlled university environment. The article may be interesting to academic staff of higher education organizations, lecturers and teachers of secondary and higher educational institutions.

The article studies the problems of bringing up junior schoolchildren to acquire the spiritual and moral values at German language classes. The spiritual and moral education of children is of great importance in modern educational environment, which in turn determines the relevance of the problem. The aim of this work is to determine the logical stages of formation morality in junior schoolchildren at German language classes. The leading approaches to the study of the problem are: propositions about the spiritual formation of a person in the cultural environment; propositions about the laws of the spiritual development of the junior schoolchild personality; humanistic propositions based on the value approach to education; ethno-pedagogical aspects of the younger generation upbringing and socialization of the person; linguistic and psycholinguistic propositions about the function of language in cognition. This research uses such scientific methods as the study and analysis of pedagogical literature, documents, publications on the researched problem, generalization, comparison, observation, etc. The result of the research is the rationale for the procedure of spiritual and moral values formation among junior students in the process of learning German. The novelty is due to the insufficient elaboration of distinguishing the stages of moral ideas formation in modern junior schoolchildren in the process of learning the German language. The theoretical significance of the research lies in the new interpretation of the put forward earlier theories about the stages of moral ideas formation in children of primary school age. The definition of the stages of morality formation among junior schoolchildren is also very important for further development of the program-model of junior schoolchildren education at German language classes focused on spiritual and moral values, which represents the practical significance of the research results in this article.

According to recent studies, modern children and adolescents are characterized by: changes in the indicators of physical development, early onset of chronic pathology, widespread neuropsychiatric deviations and, especially alarming, widespread forms of addictive behavior. Having studied the data on the health status of modern children and adolescents, the rapid spread of various addictions among the younger generation, we should speak about the relevance of research in the field of addictive behavior prevention. Thus, the purpose of this study is a theoretical analysis of domestic and foreign scientists’ views regarding the concept of addiction, prevention of addictions, types, models, forms, as well as its causes; search for programs, methods and techniques for working with students on the prevention of addictions in an educational institution aimed at developing the skills of healthy lifestyles in children and adolescents, an active life position for resolving problems, conflict situations, personal characteristics and qualities (psychological resources) that help overcome difficult situations. The main results of the article are theoretical ideas of domestic and foreign scientists regarding the concepts of addiction, prevention of addictions, types, models, forms, as well as the causes of its occurrence; directions of work to solve this problem among adolescents and young people in educational institutions (a set of psychological diagnostic measures aimed at identifying risk groups for addictive behavior; a set of measures aimed at preventing addictive behavior, initiating adolescents and young people into healthy lifestyle). For the diagnosis of addictive behavior, you can use methods such as observation, interviews, projective techniques and questionnaires. The complex of procedures aimed at the prevention of addictive behavior includes the development and implementation of a special program of measures by teachers, psychologists, together with social workers, and doctors. The main blocks of the program of measures aimed at the prevention of addictive behavior include work on additional professional training of teachers; providing students with information about drug addiction, alcoholism, smoking and other addictions; development of students' necessary life skills that would give them the opportunity to cope with various situations; informing and supporting parents. The article may be interesting to scholars and practitioners involved in the prevention of addictions, as well as to psychologists, educators, medical and social workers and to parents.

This article is devoted to the problem of modelling content and language integration in a non-linguistic university. The timeliness of this topic stems from several factors. Firstly, nowadays the need in a well-trained highly-qualified specialist who is able to speak a foreign language in his/her professional field for further education, actualizing his/her knowledge within a lifetime and exchanging his/her professional experience is evident to all. Secondly, due to the Bologna requirements university instruction should encourage students’ academic mobility, while Russian higher education ought to take the internationalization path. Thirdly, more and more university instructors consider content and language integration as an option to raise the efficiency of using a small number of class hours given to foreign language teaching as well as to make teaching special subjects more modern and up-to-date. Modelling content and language integration in higher schools is a challenge as there are many faces of content and language integrated learning and not every way of its implementation can successfully be incorporated into academic environment. Besides, the choice of the very specific model will allow to set the right context for content and language integration in the university as well as to facilitate the further planning process. The aim of this paper is to analyze the existing models of content and language integration, make a decision and ground the choice of the most suitable model for a non-linguistic university. To reach this goal the comparative analysis of all described in the literature models of content and language integration was conducted, then they were grouped into four categories, described in detail, further their key features, benefits and drawbacks for university usage were singled out. As a result, the author has made a thoughtful choice of the most suitable model of content and language integration for a non-linguistic university. In conclusion, the article states the possibility of using these results for further modelling and planning the integration of foreign language and subject disciplines in a non-linguistic university.

Depopulation is one of the main contemporary challenges to the Russian state. Depopulation is a serious problem for many developed countries of the world. Even a high social model of consumption does not save from depopulation. Currently, many Western countries are trying in vain to resolve their own demographic crisis. However, this problem was not solved, but they actually caused an acute crisis of the political superstructures of the EU by their actions. They gave euro skeptics an opportunity to question the very existence of the EU. In our Fatherland, the severity of the demographic crisis generated by depopulation is aggravated by both geographical and historical circumstances. In the twentieth century, Russia lost tens of millions of its citizens during the First World War, the Civil War, the Great Patriotic War, the famine of the twenties and forties, and millions of its citizens left the country forever. Social and military shocks prevented the natural course of Russian demographic processes, distorted the age and sex pyramids of the country's population, thus giving rise to numerous and endless challenges to the demographic development of the USSR, which have not been eliminated until now. The death of the USSR led to the fact that thirty million Russian people remained outside of Russia. This has complicated the situation with new challenges that are to be solved by the Russian Federation now. All this creates a real threat to the security of our state. These are the challenges of underpopulation; challenges of structural demographic changes, low birth rates; high mortality challenges; internal migration challenges; immigration challenges, emigration challenges.

Rational use of lands and their protection depend to a large extent on the effectiveness of control and supervisory work, which is an important element of the mechanism for ensuring law and order in this area. Statistics show a large number of land legislation violations, and therefore there is a need to establish an effective system of government land supervision. Thus, the improvement of government land supervision should be one of the key areas of state policy concerning land management. It should be noted that the control and supervisory functions in the field of land affairs have undergone significant legislative changes recently. A risk-based approach has been used in implementing government land supervision since 2018. This article is devoted to the implementation of government land supervision issues with the use of a risk-based approach. The authors analyzed the criteria for assigning risk categories, worked out the proposals for improving government land supervision.
