In the system of general education, some qualitative changes will inevitably occur soon due to various reasons including digital transformation. It will lead to changes of the role of a teacher in the educational process and requirements for his competencies. The analysis shows that the modern pedagogical education is not ready to teach teachers who meet the requirements of the modern social situation. With all the changes that have appeared in the system over the past thirty years, the pedagogical education keeps this orientation towards the training of a knowledge translator teacher. To overcome these limitations in the future teachers training, the content of teacher education programmes and technologies will need to be substantially changed. Thus, the pedagogical universities will require some changes in the settings and competencies of the staff.

The article is devoted to the formation of special competencies of journalism students in the digital age.

Educational activity is directly or indirectly mediated by the communicative one. The adoption of the ideas of inclusive education not only expands the number of subjects of the educational field, but also complicates all communication activities. All this requires a higher level of formation of communicative competence among modern pedagogical workers. In addition, communicative competence is important for a teacher not only as a component of his professional competence, but as a foundation for the formation of other competencies. That is why it is important to diagnose this competence in students of pedagogical specialties. This article proposes criterial-diagnostic tools for determining the level of formation of communicative competence.

The article is devoted to the study of the main approaches to the definition of the concept of «self-determination» in the framework of pedagogy. The result of the analysis of scientific works on this issue over the past thirty years is the conclusion that the problem of defining this concept in the general definitional structure of pedagogical science is currently unresolved. The diversity of approaches and points of view reflect various aspects that are important for a common understanding of the phenomenon of self-determination. The methodological basis of the study was a comparative analysis of scientific research within the framework of the studied problem field, general scientific methods of synthesis and generalization were also used. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that this kind of analysis was carried out for the first time.

The article is devoted to the problem of methodological support of teachers in the development of information and communication technologies on the example of the digital laboratory «Naurasha». The insufficient degree of development of this problem and at the same time its relevance should be noted. The novelty of the material consists in the development and experimental verification of the effectiveness of the model of methodological support for teachers of preschool education in the development of information and communication technologies on the example of the program «Naurasha».

The results of the diagnostic study allowed the authors to evaluate the organization of methodological support of teachers in the development of information and communication technologies and the level of formation of teachers’ competence in the studied aspect. At the formative stage of the research a model was developed and methodological support of teachers was organized in accordance with the developed model, and at the control stage of the research its effectiveness was proved.

The authors come to the conclusion that methodological support should be aimed at the formation of information and communication competence of teachers in the process of organizing their activities in the information and educational environment of preschool educational institutions without interrupting their main work.

The article describes the need to develop a professional development program for teachers on the formation and assessment of functional literacy of students, due to the rethinking of educational targets, the demand for the quality of education. The authors of the article analyze the main problems existing in the teaching environment related to the processes of formation and evaluation of functional literacy of students based on the results of a survey of teachers in February 2022.

The importance of education lies in the fact that as a system of personal education and training, it forms the basic values necessary for social development in schoolchildren. The aim is to show that the educational field «physical culture» has the necessary value potential to fulfill the tasks listed in the National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation. Surgut State Pedagogical University has developed a new approach to the process of motor learning, which increases the value potential of physical education lessons. The innovativeness of the approach to the process of teaching motor actions lies in the fact that it uses the cooperation of the main provisions of the teachings of N. A. Bernstein and the theory of functional systems of P. K. Anokhin. The application of a new functional approach to teaching motor actions in physical education lessons takes the lesson itself to a new level, it becomes an effective tool for the formation of the value of physical education and sports among those involved and thus increases their existing value potential. The implementation by teachers in physical education lessons of the provisions of a new approach in motor training strengthens children’s necessary knowledge and skills of their conscious application in various forms of physical education and sports activities. The new approach in motor training contributes to the achievement of the targets specified in the Strategy for the Development of Physical Culture and Sports in the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 and makes it possible to implement the tasks of the national security of Russia for the development of human potential.

The article presents an analysis of a set of basic approaches (personal-activity, system, functional) to the formation of teachers' readiness for the certification procedure. Based on the study of the works of predecessors the authors offer their understanding of the problem. The purpose of the article is a theoretical and methodological analysis and critical understanding of a set of basic approaches that make it possible to form a high level of readiness of teachers of a preschool educational organization for certification. The authors relying on their own practical experience give examples of organizing work with teachers in a preschool educational organization to form teachers' readiness for certification procedures. The methodological recommendations proposed by the authors can be adapted for preschool educational organizations, taking into account the observance of the necessary conditions, including the organization of methodological work organized with teachers during the inter-certification period. The authors came to the conclusion that when organizing methodological measures aimed at increasing the level of formation of teachers' readiness for the certification procedure, it is important to take into account a complex of different approaches that guarantee not only the correspondence of the qualitative characteristics of teachers of a preschool educational organization both to the current and the future requirements of the educational system, but also their professional growth based on the successful completion of certification procedures.

This article describes ways to solve problems of game strategies using information technology. The educational topic «Search for winning strategies» is considered only in the course of advanced study of computer studies in grade 11. Tasks for game strategies are traditionally included in the control and measuring materials of the unified state exam in computer studies. At present, only an analytical method for solving such problems is proposed in school textbooks by various authors. The introduction of the unified state exam in computer science in 2020 on computers posed the problem for school teachers and methodologists in the field of computer studies to find the best options for solving such problems using application software or programming tools, depending on the training level of students. As one of the options for solving this problem, the author offers two ways to solve problems of game strategies using the example of a problem with stones, the first option is intended for students who do not have programming experience and includes solving the problem using a spreadsheet processor, the second option is solving the problem using the programming language Phyton. These methodological recommendations for solving problems of game strategies were used in the preparation of graduates for the unified state exam in computer studies on computers for students in schools in the city of Surgut, Khanty-Mansiisk Autonomous district-Yugra. The results obtained on the basis of the exam showed the effectiveness of the proposed solutions, which allow visualizing information and optimizing the processing of great numbers of data by means of information technology.

One of the effective and successfully tested by the domestic pedagogical system for many decades ways of forming and developing patriotism is the search activities and organization of search squads. Unfortunately, since the reorganization period this traditional, but at the same time rather productive type of collective activity in the educational, spiritual and moral and personal developing plan was unfairly forgotten for rather long time and was ignored in many educational institutions of the country. Today, interest in search activities in Russian educational institutions comes back and requires the development of theoretical and methodological foundations of this process.

The research conducted in the article is aimed at substantiating and analyzing the developed by the author search squad organization algorithm which is functioning in an educational institution.

The study of this issue is carried out by the author based on the study of a wide range of scientific, legal sources and his own practical experience within the framework of a new model for the development of research activity of students, which is now gaining special relevance in the conditions of modernization of national general and additional education. In the framework of the goal, using historical, descriptive, functional, system, comparative research methods, the article solves such problems that characterize the main novelty of the results, such as determining the characteristics of search activity and the activities of students in the search engine system in the context of their age and personal development; substantiation of the teacher's competences during the organization of search and research activities and the creation of a search squad, transposition of the search squad organization algorithm and consideration of the content of each of its components, substantiation of possible problems during the organization of the search squad in domestic conditions.

The author justifies the understanding of search activity in the narrow and broad sense of its interpretation; common forms and activities of search teams are identified, various methods and technologies of work are analyzed. The algorithm for organizing a search squad presented in the article, which has a scientific novelty, is typical and can be adapted to the activities of such structures both in the conditions of a general education school (including at a school museum) and in institutions of the additional education system. The directions systematized by the author, profiles of the activities of modern search squads are not exhaustive and are of interest for further scientific development.

At the present stage in the system of physical education of preschool children an important place is occupied by the process of detecting the dynamics of the results of educational activities. In order to determine the individual route of physical development of each child the head of physical education needs to know and be able to interpret qualitative and quantitative indicators of physical preparedness. The process of determining the level of physical fitness of pupils from 4 to 7 years old allows the head of physical education to establish the level of development of the child relative to the age indicators presented in the curriculum of preschool education; to determine the forms and methods of working with children to improve their motor development; to create comfortable conditions in which children with a low level of physical preparedness will be ready to perform exercises and demonstrate their motor capabilities; to identify pupils with signs of psychomotor giftedness in order to further improve their motor abilities.

The purpose of the article is to reveal the specifics of an individual— differentiated approach in the process of diagnosing physical preparedness, taking into account the state of health of pupils. In the course of the study, we analyzed the control exercises presented in the literature for examining the physical qualities of children from 4 to 7 years old, and also identified the main directions of an individual-differentiated approach, taking into account the condition of the diagnostic participants.

Recommendations are given for the diagnosis of physical preparedness for children with disabilities in health and physical development, providing for the variability of the choice of diagnostic techniques.

The article, based on joint productive activity, sets the need for psychological justification of effective directions of prevention and overcoming unproductive life strategies of modern youth, in particular, the development of the rehabilitation potential of drug addicts. The study was conducted in order to identify psychological conditions that optimize the formation of communicative competence among project participants, which manifests itself in the process of developing a plan and creating social advertising. The preparation of addicted young men for the opportunity to take on the position of the author of social advertising in order to enter into communication with each other for successful group interaction will become one of the effective directions in the rehabilitation of addiction. Materials and methods used in the study: the author’s questionnaire «Readiness for group project activity», expert assessment of the quality of samples of social advertising, discourse analysis of the results of the analysis of social advertising; observation of verbal and nonverbal manifestations of the process of communicative competence, psychological support project «Social advertising». The results obtained in the course of the study suggest that the fixed low level of readiness to participate in project activities, which is reflected not only in the assessment of own abilities, but also in a low level of communicative competence, can be improved through the formation of readiness for project interaction on the example of a particular type of project — the creation of social advertising.
