Introduction. Today, in the era of a mathematization of science and total expansion of digital technologies, mass mathematical education becomes a necessary part of culture of every person. However, there are some serious obstacles to formation and development of general mathematical culture: insufficient understanding of its importance by society and the state; fragmentary-clipconsciousness, emerging among representatives of the younger generation under the influence of the Internet, and preventing formation of a complete picture of the modern world; traditional system of disjointed subjects and courses in school, secondary vocational and high school mathematics education; non-cognitive (automatic) transferring of the approaches, principles, technologies and techniques into training which are not specific in order to master a course. Development of sociological, axiological and especially culturological aspects of mathematical methodology is required for the solution of the urgent problems of methodology in mathematical education.

The aim of the publication is to discuss methodological aspects of culturological approach realization in mathematical education.

Methodology and research methods. The theoretical scientific methods of the present article involve analysis and synthesis of the content of philosophical, mathematical, pedagogical, methodological literature and normative documents; comparative, culturological and logical types of analysis of mathematical education; systematic, competence-based, practice-oriented and personal-activity metho-dological approaches were used to understand the concept of mathematical education.

Results and scientific novelty. The practicability and leading role of culturological approach to promoting mathematical knowledge is proved from historical, philosophical and pedagogical positions. It is stated that objective conceptualization of progressive ideas and new methods of mathematical science and mathematical literacy have the extreme humanitarian importance, since their existence either indirectly or sometimes directly influences quality of life of any person and society in general. The most in-demand, significant and obligatory thematic and methodological components of mathematical education are highlighted: mathematical modeling, discrete mathematics and computing processes. The principle of a cultural conformity and a harmonious combination of the culturological and artfundamentals of mathematical education are emphasized as the basic educational principles, the use of which is capable to improve and raise the level of mathematical culture of the Russian society on a new, higher position.

The evidence from this study points towards the idea that effective functioning of the system of mathematical education is impossible without the qualified, well prepared staff who are not only professionals in the subject sphere, but also bearers of high pedagogical culture. Moral and ethical, communicative and individual, and personal components of pedagogical culture of a teacher-mathematician are characterized.

Practical significance. The author is convinced that introduction of the proposed concept of mathematical education based on culturological approach to its contents and the organization will help to overcome the disproportions existing today in mathematical education between integration and subject differentiation of a training material, technologization of educational process and preservation of traditional methods of training, fundamentalization of knowledge and competence-based approach to it, etc.

Materials of the publication can be useful for future and practising teachers of mathematics and allied sciences, as well as for other categories of the educators engaged in the organization and advance of mathematical education and promotion of mathematical knowledge.

Introduction. Implementing new educational standards and a multistage system of training of specialists at the higher school meant, inter alia, reconsideration of approaches to assessment of students’ learning quality. Nevertheless, development of organizational-methodical tools and content of control procedures in most higher education institutions is still focused on a traditional formative (spot), local knowledge assessment. It is obvious that changed economic, social and educational conditions of professionalization (mastering a certain profession and self-realization in it) require a search for more adequate new means and measurement methods of education results got by students. According to the authors of the present article, development of a digital information system of control is necessary. Such a digital information system of control has to take intoaccount the features of educational process of concrete higher education institution; then, continuous accumulation and analysis of all types and forms of personal certification and assessment of educational activity of each student.

The aim of the publication is the development of an automated software system for quality education assessments, taking into account the use of Avatar technology.

Methodology and research methods. The methods involve: analytical review of scientific-methodological literature and documentation on the organization of assessment of quality education assessments in higher education institutions; analysis and synthesis of experience of application of the techniques developed on the basis of the balanced system estimated indicators (BSC), ISO standards, the EFQM Excellence Model, CIPP evaluation model, international quality standards ESG ENQA, TQM, CATS, etc. System and activity approaches were adopted as methodological base when creating automated program system.

Results and scientific novelty. A block diagram of the learning process is presented; it demonstrates organization and management of the learning process in a higher educational institution. The factors that affect the level of student knowledge obtained during training are shown. On this basis, the determining factors in assessing the level of knowledge are highlighted. It is offered to build the managing of individual training at any time interval on the basis of a calculation of the generalized criterion which consists of students’ current progress, their activity and time spent for training.

The block structure of the automated program system of continuous monitoring of achievements of each student is described. All functional blocks of system are interconnected with educational process. The main advantage of this system is that students have continuous access to materials about own individual achievements and mistakes; from passive consumers of information they turn into active members of the education, and thus, they can achieve bigger effectiveness of personal vocational training. It is pointed out that information base of such system has to be available not only to students and teachers, but also future employers of university graduates.

Practical significance. The concept of automated system for education results monitoring and technique of processing of collected material presented in the article are based on a simple and obvious circumstance: a student with high progress spends more time on training and leads active lifestyle in comparison with fellow students; therefore, that student with high probability will be more successful in the chosen profession. Thus, for ease of use, complete, fully detailed and digitized information on individual educational achievements of future expert is necessary not only for effective management of educational process in higher education institutions, but also for employers interested in well-prepared, qualified and hard-working staff intended to take responsibility for labour duties.

Introduction. Today, questions of valuable preferences and priorities of young people choosing a career in teaching are attracting widespread interest due to the introduction of new educational standards and subsequently fullygrown social and state requirements for teaching professionals. Individual characteristics (own intensions, potentialities, achievements) of future teachers have to correspond ideally to a humanistic educational paradigm and personally focused model of training and education.

The aim of this research is to clarify the specifics of students’ reflection on the acquired profession and seeing themselves as future teachers.

Methodology and research methods. The methodological framework of the study is based on competencyand system-based approaches. The author’s technique built upon a questionnaire was the main research tool. The technique of psychometric diagnostics offered by S. A. Minyurova and A. I. Kalashnikov became initial material for drawing up tasks of the questionnaire; that diagnostics is designed for measurement of professional commitment of school teachers and adapted to study reflexive sphere of students’ personality who chose pedagogical field of study. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U-criterion test was applied when processing the data obtained during the questionnaire to compare average values of independent samples of respondents.

Results and scientific novelty. The carried out analysis of dynamically changing external and internal (objective and subjective) allowed the author to emphasize the factors that influence students’ motivation to pedagogical activity, desire to realize themselves in it, and aspirations to study “through all life”. The proposed by the author new technique of a self-assessment for students with different levels of higher pedagogical education including postgraduate is approved. Significantly, the technique enables to reveal: socially and personally significant purposes of future teachers and lecturers; their valuable orientations; levels of adequacy for reflection of their personal attitudes to pedagogical activity; students’ ability to realize own professional competence and pedagogical marginalization. Successful approbation of the trial version of new methodical tools showed that selfassessment of future teachers significantly correlates with recognition of great demands of society required to a pedagogical profession.

Practical significance. The research materials will be useful in psychological and pedagogical support for students when designing individual educational paths of pedagogical professional development.

Introduction. The significance of this study in relation to in youth pedagogy is caused, on the one hand, by a contradiction between the increasing need for development of adequate heuristic tools for studying education aspects of the growing generation, and on the other hand, by ignoring of the richest positive experience of youth pedagogy of A. S. Makarenko.

The aim of the article is to disclose and scientifically justify the efficiency of dialecticantinomic approach of A. S. Makarenko to the solution of problems of love in youth environment.

Methodology and research methods. Methodological framework of the research consists in dialectics – the law of coincidence of contradictions. The methods involved: hermeneutical methods (interpretation, conceptualization, under standing); analysis and synthesis, specification and generalization, universalization and unification, transformation and transition, idealization and extrapolation; a method of purposeful designing of a system of new theoretical representations synthesized from set of elements of knowledge of various types; the method of analogies based on community of fundamental dialectics laws for processes of various types; mental experiment; method of double-entry of basic components into the system. The principle of an antinomy was the leading research approach that enables to consider polarities as necessary equal components within a framework of complete process (phenomenon), providing ways to adapt to those components.

Results and scientific novelty. Implementation of initial parameters and role of antinomic dialectics of A. S. Makarenko’s educational system are determined and scientifically proven. In particular, the present research has led to conclude that use of antinomic principle of integral unity of a personality allowed A. S. Makarenko to create educational system based on parallel action: in pedagogical process changes primarily occur due to the increasing importance of independent components along with minimization of didactic and instructive points.

Practical significance. The present findings and materials of the article might be useful for modeling and designing of modern educational systems for younger generation. This scholarly work can be recommended to academic and practical educators, undergraduates, graduate students; people who are engaged in educational policies; representatives of business communities; all those who are interested in the present and future of the Russian education.

. Introduction. In recent decades, emotional component during the education process has been widely studied by Russian and foreign researchers. The problems of emotional intelligence formation at the higher school have received much attention due to the fact that development of this psychological characteristic of a personality positively influences students’ motivation to training, adaptation at university and academic results of education. Students with high level of emotional stability, able to adequately perceive own and other experiences, and to control them, can master professional competences more successfully; as a matter of practice, those students become good communicators. Thus, such graduates become high-demand specialists in labour market.

The aim of this article is to present the results of the research conducted by the author in order to identify the interrelation between emotional intelligence of future managers and their academic achievement.

Methodology and research methods. Analytical review of scientific literature was undertaken at the initial stage of work; that allowed to receive general perception of a state of knowledge of the studied problem and to define methods. D.V. Lyusin questionnaire (psychodiagnostic technique based on the self-report and complemented in connection with specifics of the respondent base) was used to study various aspects of the students’ emotional intelligence. The online form of the survey was developed for the convenience of interaction with students and rapid data collection; the results were processed by means of correlation analysis.

Results and scientific novelty. The results of the survey showed the average level of development of emotional intelligence among Management students. Interpersonal component of emotional intelligence has proven to be the most pronounced. The correlation analysis of the data revealed a statistically significant interrelation between the level of emotional intelligence and academic achievement of students. However, contrary to the hypothesis, that interrelation turned out to be negative. With reference to the established facts, it has been suggested that students with the high level of emotional intelligence treat their academic grades more calmly, building full-fledged balance between studies, work and private life.

Practical significance. The present findings of the research and results of the first stage of a longitudinal panel investigation of opportunities of psychology and pedagogical influence on development of university students’ emotional intelligence can be used by academic teaching staff of higher education institutions for further work with students.

Introduction. Nowadays, under the conditions of a general crisis of family relations, fatherhood as a social phenomenon and institution increasingly attracts the interest of researchers in various fields of humanitarian knowledge. However, Russian researchers have not treated educational potential of fatherhood in much detail due to historically developed objective reasons. Most studies are conducted not systemically; many of them describe typical problems. Moreover, previous studies of the educational potential of fatherhood have not dealt with practical recommendations for support and development of fatherhood as an educational institution.

The aims of this research are: the analysis of fatherhood as an educational institution; scientific and theoretical justification for opportunities to strengthen family relations and children welfare through pedagogical support for fatherhood period.

Methodology and research methods. The methodological framework of the research undertaken by authors is based on institutional approach. The relevant directions of the research on the stated problematics are highlighted on the basis of the review of the Russian and foreign scientific literature; the analysis of normative documents and generalization of social and pedagogical practices. The theoretical analysis and synthesis of the data obtained during the surveys among men from different regions ofRussia and foreign countries allowed the authors to structure typical ideas about fatherhood and to model a concept for its educational resources.

Results and scientific novelty. The problems complicating mass reproduction of effective “fatherly pedagogy” are designated: system crisis of a family and masculinity; socio-economic factors resulting in the low educational motivation of fathers; lack of clear and positive ideological and valuable bases of human existence, etc. The concepts “fatherhood” and “educational potential of fatherhood” are consistently interpreted.

The concept “language” of the father-child interaction (FCI), new to psychology and pedagogical knowledge, is introduced. Given the above concept consists in the direct emotional and communicative interaction based on empathy and “episodic” relation of a father to a child's life, i.e. pragmatic love.

The general logic of FCI can be presented as “language-form-value”; particular options of implementation of the general formula can be “sport-training-health”, “literature-reading-meaning”, “arts-concerts-tastes”, etc. According to the authors, practical application of concrete substantial forms-units (“languages”) of the FCI system is an effective pedagogical tool for individual and personal updating of fatherhood in order to positively influence the formation of a child’s socialization.

The concept of educational potential of fatherhood which includes three key determinants is worked out: knowledge and erudition of a father-parent; his personal qualities; system of motives and values.

Practical significance. The proposed three-part model of determinants for educational potential of fatherhood could be applied to undertake the diagnostics of this potential among parents for organization of their pedagogical support. The idea of “languages” of FCI might be useful for social projects implementation to support families and institute of fatherhood.

Introduction. In modern society Pedagogics is no longer the domain only of tutors, school teachers and teachers of educational institutions of general and vocational training of various levels. Pedagogics, being in integration with Sociology, Philosophy, Psychology, and Cultural Science, has an impact on sociocultural life of both all society and local communities, along with well-being of children and families, and population’s quality of life. In some regions ofRussia, state bodies responsible for the administration of education and social sphere call for Social Pedagogics in order to consolidate the population; to solve local problems; to strengthen the family and government institutions. Social Pedagogics, in contrast to financial-economic measures, can not change unsatisfactory material conditions and poor housing, but contributes to the spread of ideas of humanity, mutual aid, solidarity and cooperation; then stimulates positive creation that is especially important when a person or his/her family are in difficult life situations.

The aims of the publication are: to disclose the leading tendencies of socio-pedagogical and socio-cultural activity with children and families at the place of residence; to represent the results of the first stage of the project “Development and Realization of Socio-Pedagogical Potential of Territorial Communities” developed at the Institute for Study of Childhood, Family and Education of the Russian Academy of Education.

Methodology and research methods. The research provided in the article is based on system-activity approach. When studying the general background of social transformations, non-system approach was used, which importance increases in connection with the growing dynamics of social changes, ambiguity of a vital context, instability and diversity of society development. The analysis of municipalwork with children and families at the place of residence and assessment of practical activities efficiency of Social Care teachers of different specializations was carried out on the basis of questioning among parents.

Results and scientific novelty. Modern forms of collective participation of citizens in education of younger generation are revealed, studied, and generalized. It is shown that the task of transformation of the place of residence into education space in a city and rural settlements can be successfully solved by means of creation of territorial communities – new social structures of modern civil society.The characteristic of such territorial communities is given; the need for its deve-lopment is proved. It is evident that similar communities promote expansion of purposeful social and educational work with children and families at their places of residence.

Practical significance. The results and experience of creation of territorial communities obtained in the course of the investigation can support the development of municipal models for organization of socio-pedagogical and socio-cultural work with children and members of their families.

Introduction. Along with other innovations, in recent years, scientometric methods for measurement of scientists’ and research teams’ results in the scientific sphere have been widely adopted. The Russian practice of application of those methods to determine the degree of academics’ performance isn't unambiguous and eventually can have negative, destructive consequences for domestic science. In this regard, this very burning issue is required for urgent thorough public discussion by scientific community.

The aim of the article is a critical analysis of the topical problems of science reform in the light of the law “On the Russian Academy of Sciences, the reorganization of state academies of sciences and amendments to certain legislative acts of theRussian Federation” (№ 253-RF, 27 September, 2013). Also, the author notes the importance of methods for evaluating the effectiveness of scholarly endeavor.

Results and scientific novelty. On the example of the system of digital indicators operating in the Russian Academy of Education, formed on the basis of the requirements of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation and Federal Agency of Scientific Organizations, it is shown that it is impossible to evaluate the scientific result objectively.

It is clearly proved that the indicators used, primarily the number of publications and the citation index, in modern conditions give distorted landmarks, become a brake on science, reduce its ability to self-development. The image of scientists and whole institutions is formed on false indicators.

Academic and many scientific journals have acquired a commercial nature; there is no real evaluative analysis of the manuscripts, which have been submitted into the editorial office; there is no selection according to relevance and significance of the submitted material. Real examples, provided in the article, demonstrate frequent violations of ethical principles when forming authorial collectives of publications of scholarly journals; as a consequence, artificial increase of citation indexes and x-index.

In addition, the formalized digitized indicators become the basis for automatic, “fair”, according to officials, distribution of resources and material rewards for scientific research. It is highlighted that digitization of science and quantitative indicators based on grant financing can not replace basic funding of science. Grants become a task not for research, but for the result formulated by the official, on loyalty to the state management.

The policy of nationalization and administration of science has led to a prolonged confrontation between the academies and the authorities. In the long term, it is possible to transfer the digitized principles of science management to the management of society as a whole.

Practical significance. The author puts forward a number of recommendations and suggestions how to objectify the evaluation system of scientific research effectiveness. That would, however, require substantial restructuring of the scientific sphere itself, its denationalization and return to the principle “science should be managed by scientists”. Thus, science funding must not be focused on the basis of digitized indicators. It is necessary to withdraw the status “Higher Attestation Commission of the RF” (VAK RF) from all commercial journals, to remove state academies from their founders.

Introduction. Issues of training interpreters in connection with accelerating the recent processes of globalization are today in the focus of attention of scientists and teachers-practitioners. The main task of the interpreter is to transfer the meaning of foreign, often ambiguous texts adequately. The meaning of the utterance in the original language is made up of several clear characteristics that, if neglected, may cause serious errors in translation. One such characteristic is the syntactic structure of the original message. Unfortunately, linguistic exercises that form and develop the ability of students to solve the translation goals rarely include tasks to teach the correct perception and reproduction of polysemantic (homonymous) messages, which can be translated correctly only under condition of knowing about the syntax of a foreign language.

The aim set out in article is the search of possibilities to train professional translators better on the bases of their learning to implement syntactic analysis of the text.

Methodology and research methods. The work is based on the competence approach to the training of student translators. The complex of interrelated scientific methods was used, the main of which is the experiment.

Results and scientific novelty. The typology of garden-path sentences (statements and messages) is given, the structure of which may cause ambiguity. With the help of quantitative data translation peculiarities of these sentences are characterized. The conducted experiment, where participants were 60 students of theUralStatePedagogicalUniversity (Ekaterinburg) and theInstitute ofInternationalRelations (Ekaterinburg), concluded that the syntactic analysis of garden-path sentences is the problematic point for the translation of texts from English into Russian. Specific examples of exercises for the development of skills of this kind of analysis while studying the course of “Translation Practice” are described. It is noted that parsing as a professional competence of a future translator is formed in the process of training activities and integrated efforts of various departments of anyLanguageSchool/ University.

Practical significance. The results of the study can be used by teachers of foreign languages, working both in linguistic and in non-linguistic schools/ universities.
