ICT tools expand the opportunity of implementing intercultural IT communication in the context of interaction of all participants in the educational process. The use of educational and methodological materials based on ICT tools and the organization of teacher - students journalists interaction represent an integrated IT-learning environment that allows us to implement intercultural communication, improve educational services and provide access to educational resources from any mobile device. The relevance of the study is due to the spatial information dynamics in the field of communication in the context of journalists’ education computerization. The aim of the study is the theoretical and practical confirmation of professionally oriented intercultural communication based on the use of ICT tools as a component of the process of preparing student journalists for qualified work. Theoretical and empirical methods are used in the study. Based on the results of the study, the article presents a theoretical and practical justification of the necessity and significance of using ICT tools for professional mobility and the development of the practice of interaction between broad sections of the public on topical and socially significant issues in the field of intercultural communication. The theoretical significance lies in the fact that the study complements the theory and methodology for the formation and development of intercultural IT communication in the aspect of preparing journalism majors for professional activities using modern tools in the context of computerization of society in general and higher education in particular. The practical significance lies in the direction of the use of ICT tools that provide participants of intercultural communication with various types of professionally oriented technical assistance and support, as well as solving such problems as optimizing learning management, increasing the effectiveness of the educational process.

Adaptive learning technologies are considered very effective in the field of additional and corporate education, where the student has high external motivation. However, in case of university education, many training courses offered to students as part of the curriculum are of little use for conversion into electronic adaptive training courses, and most importantly, they do not arouse the cognitive interest of students. The article specifies the signs of such training courses. Traditional advice to a teacher to explain to students the benefits of this training course for a future profession or to apply original teaching methods does not work. Students "work out technologies for submitting reports" on the academic discipline, focusing on the minimum level of academic achievements necessary to obtain an acceptable grade. The paper describes the main tenets of the original system of assessing students' academic achievements developed by the author, which allows overcoming the uncooperative attitude of students to the study of such training courses. In the described technology, students compete for resources, which are knowledge of the academic discipline. The key feature of the proposed competitive assessment system is that an increase in the student's submitted papers, that is, an increase in his rating score, leads to a decrease in the rating score of other students of the academic group. The described technology has characteristics of adaptive learning, but the individual educational trajectory is not assigned by the training information system, but it is chosen by the student. In addition, it uses gamification technology in a special way that develops students' cognitive motivation. Repeated experience of using such technology has shown its high efficiency. The students gain both the total amount of knowledge and cognitive interest. The theoretical significance of the work is in showing new directions in the development of adaptive learning technologies, it allows for a better understanding of the potentials of gamification technology in learning. The materials of the work can also stimulate new directions in the study of educational motivation of university students.

Digital technologies are entering the everyday life of every person. The process of education is changing either. This entails the need to change the methodological training of future primary school teachers in accordance with the requirements of the time. The modern stage of computerization in Russia has led to the emergence of a new generation of children. Teachers begin to work with children of the alpha generation. These are the children of a new generation, making new demands on society. Relevant for novice teachers is the correlation of the school digital educational space, their own experience in the use of information and communication technologies, the already existing computer experience of a modern child and the main goal of learning - acquisition of knowledge and skills. The future primary school teacher has to take into account the characteristic features of alpha generation children in the educational process, linking their psychological characteristics, widespread computerization and traditional school. The purpose of this article is to analyze the possibilities of integration of the following positions into learning process: use of gadgets in the learning process; distribution of cognitive resources of the child in the process of completing tasks; evaluation of the child’s activities; implementation of non-standard learning; development of communication skills among primary school students; negative consequences of uncontrolled inclusion of digital materials in the educational process. The leading method for studying the problem is a pedagogical experiment. The essence of the experimental work was to use the worked out approaches to the alpha generation in the process of methodological training of future primary school teachers. The theoretical significance of the work was in the analysis of the literature on the designated problem and the identification of characteristics of children of a new generation. The practical worth of the article lies in the proposed variants of correlating the characteristic features of children of the alpha generation with the organization of the educational process.
