The article reveals the organizational structure of managing the process of forming a healthy lifestyle of children by means of project activities. It outlines ways to coordinate the actions of participants in the educational process in matters of project activities in a pre-school educational institution. Among the core factors of successful management of the teaching staff formation the author highlights goal- setting , subject-subject interaction, consistency of participants, high professional competence of the teaching staff.

The issues of developing a managerial model for organizing joint parent-child activities in the process of holding children's parties, which is based on the project method, are considered. The stages of the implementation of the model during the children's holidays are formulated. Recommendations on the practical use of the research results are proposed.

Today educational process’s entire focus is shifting towards innovation, creativity, technical advancement. Educational robotics meets modern requirements and has a positive effect on the development of student's personality. With progress in technology, the accessibility of robotics to children in learning process has improved. Formal education system is reaching a new level. In compliance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, according to which the main approach in modern education is the action approach, robotics takes a practice-oriented direction, which suggests project implementation. According to educationists, project based learning in robotics is not only a great way to provide students with a more efficient technological education, but it also the most effective method of acquiring twenty-first-century skills such as self-directed learning, critical thinking, problem solving, work planning and communication. The research problem is the use of the potential of project-based learning in robotics in the development of student's personality. Purpose: to test in practice the positive impact of project based learning in robotics on the development of student's personality Based on the goal of the study, we identified the following tasks: - to analyze the organization of project based learning in robotics at school; - to reveal the potential of project based learning in robotics; - to study the basics of the project based learning in robotics while taking into account age characteristics; - to analyze the research results. The article includes the main stages of scientific projects development. It also presents the students experience in project-based learning in robotics. The article reveals positive dynamics in development of student’s personal qualities in the course of research and gives examples of projects that were highly appreciated by the jury. The research results confirmed that project-based learning in robotics contributes to the development of student's personality, if the age characteristics and the main features of their motivation are taken into account. The joint work of the teacher and students is necessary for them to acquire the skills required for the successful project work in robotics.

This article deals with the practice of applying the project method in extracurricular physics work. The basic requirements to the use of the project method are given, the main stages of project activity are considered, and the advantages of this method are studied. The project method is a way to achieve the goals of didactics with the help of detailed development of a problem, a technology that should finally show a real practical result that can be implemented on a practical level, i.e. seen, understood and applied. Project activity forms the work in the team, intellectual growth, expands the outlook on the subject of physics, as well as in the surrounding world, i.e. develops social experience and gives a better chance to develop one's own potential. Having studied the role of students in project activities, we concluded that: students are active participants of the process, not passive participants. Working in working groups helps them learn to work in a "team". Students are free to choose the ways and activities to achieve their goal, no one tells them how or what they need to do. We believe that even a failed project has great educational value. Thanks to the organization and conduct of extracurricular activities in physics, we are able to see the future authors of the projects, to form the skills of project activity in students. Every year the school holds a decade of science, in the preparation of which students participate. Creation of models of physical devices, preparation of physics presentations for self-governing lessons, participation in open project lessons – all these are elements of students' project activity at extracurricular physics events.

Currently, patriotic education is the most important national task, the solution of which provides for the intelligent systemic activity at different levels. The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristic features of the patriotic education of children and youth using personal example of young heroes of the Great Patriotic War. The study was conducted on the basis of the Tula State Pedagogical University named after Leo Tolstoy with volunteer students who took part in the project. Research methods: theoretical (study and analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature, analysis, generalization and systematization of information from scientific sources); empirical (questioning, pedagogical experiment); methods of mathematical statistics. The principles of consistency and integrity in solving the problems of patriotic education, taking into account the individual and age characteristics of students were identified as fundamental. The article presents the experience of implementing the project “Training of educational volunteers to support events dedicated to the Year of Memory and Glory“ Heroic generation of peers””, aimed at the patriotic education of young people and the preservation of historical memory, the development of patriotic volunteering. Its characteristic feature is the form of interaction organization in the system “university students - school students”. The content of the project includes the organization of a monitoring study on the issues of patriotic education of children and youth, the training of volunteer students of patriotic orientation, the design of classes in patriotic education which are dedicated to the feat of the young hero of the Great Patriotic War, who lived on the Tula land, the same age as today's boys and girls. In educational institutions, volunteers actively interacted with representatives of student self-government, the Russian movement of schoolchildren, the school's museum members, etc. Class tutors, social teachers, youth leaders, representatives of the RMS, public organizations of patriotic orientation, etc. can use thematic lessons of patriotic orientation. The project contributed to the preservation of historical memory and the development of patriotic volunteering.
