Importance. The active digitalisation of the economy leads to the transformation of students’ professional and value orientations. The process is exacerbated with the development of new forms of their online socialisation and requires pedagogical management. In order to build adequate pedagogical technologies it is necessary to identify the most sensitive components and criteria for the transformation of students’ professional value orientations. Novelty lies in the fact that (using computer science students as an example) for the first time changing professional needs are presented, which are reflected in the results of complex analysis of communication on popular forums in IT sphere; on web-sites of professional communication and large IT-companies; communication on telegram channels of employees of world IT-industry leaders. It has been proved that the identified needs contribute to the formation of professional interest and involvement in professionally oriented practice. As evidence, the results of a social survey among IT students on the use of their professional communication on the Internet for real work are presented. Quantitative methods of collecting information were used to collect the data required for the study: analysis of documents, surveys, questionnaires. For the first time, the logic of forming emerging professional value orientations in the context of Internet socialisation and the unsustainability of the future world of professions is presented. Based on the identified value orientations, relevant criteria for assessing the transformation of professional and value orientations under conditions of Internet socialisation are substantiated. The assumed most transformation-sensitive elements of value orientations in this context are identified.Research Methods. To achieve the research goals, various methods were used, including the method of analyzing information sources, the method of questioning through the digital resource Google Forms. The experimental base for the pilot study was 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students from universities in Tambov and Moscow, numbering 507 people aged 17 to 23 years.Results and Discussion. As a result of the study, criteria for assessing the transformation of the system of professional value orientations in the conditions of Internet socialization and instability of professions were identified and justified: the formation of values – relationships with the professional Internet community; formation of values – knowledge of digital technologies of professional activity and knowledge of the functionality of the Internet environment for solving professional problems; formation of values – goals of achieving a high level of fulfillment of professional needs in the Internet environment and confidence in self-realization in the future world of professions; the formation of values – the result of Internet socialization in a professional environment, satisfaction in achieving one’s professional needs; formation of value – the quality of rapid professional self-adaptation in the changing world of professions using the functionality of the Internet environment; formation of values – the ability to use Internet technologies and realize oneself in the profession.Conclusion. Based on the analysis, it was revealed that the most sensitive components of the transformation of value orientations may be values – relationships with the professional Internet community, as well as values – qualities characterized by rapid professional adaptation and selfadaptation in the changing world of professions using the functionality of the Internet environment.

Importance. One of the key tasks of the production practice is the experience of transferring knowledge to independently solve new tasks. Modeling of production processes in virtual laboratories, VR training sessions, blockchain can be considered as technologies aimed at development the ability to data transfer, analyze, and systematize. Digitalization of practical training is able to solve the problems of non-standard thinking development, the need to strengthen the responsibility of students, the specialist qualification dependence on the digital technologies possession degree. The possibilities of digital technologies, intellectual information and educational systems in the focus of practical training of students and the development of thinking formed the purpose of the research.Materials and Methods. The review of information sources is carried out, the own experience of practical training organization is systematized. The survey method investigated the attitude of students to online interaction, the attitude of enterprises to the admission of trainees to production facilities. A model of the procedure for evaluating and storing practice results is proposed.Results and Discussion. Artificial intelligence and process automation shift the emphasis of education from algorithmized activities (reading material, drawing up a text plan, selecting key ideas, etc.) to the development of specific non-standard skills – the ability to find a non-stereotypical optimal solution, conduct expertise, apply knowledge in unusual conditions. At the same time, the reduction in the volume of subject material allows us to pay more attention to the development of non-routine actions, autonomy in the workplace, and the development of a proactive attitude to the profession. The virtual model of the technological process allows to see in detail any element of the complex, while the VR operator perceives the object and forms a response. The analysis of the spatial position and state of the object, the transfer of existing theoretical knowledge into a specific production situation, the formation of an objects holistic perception develop both thinking and practical skills. Evaluation of students practical training results with the use of blockchain increases the efficiency of the process, makes the data storage system reliable.Conclusion. Modernization of vocational education through the introduction of adaptive and practice-oriented educational programs, learning and evaluation algorithms based on artificial intelligence solutions will ensure effective digital training.

Importance. At the current stage of socio-economic development of the country, society’s need for specialists with divergent thinking, which allows thinking innovatively, solving non-standard tasks in conditions of uncertainty and rapid change of situation in different ways is actualized. However, there is a problem associated with the lack of a common theoretical basis and methodological approaches to the study the divergent thinking. It is assumed that it is possible to understand the nature of divergent thinking through philosophical comprehension of its generic concept “thinking”. The aim of the research is to scientifically substantiate the category of "divergent thinking" from the philosophical point of view.Materials and Methods. Achievement of the set goals was carried out on the basis of retrospective analysis of philosophical, literature and scientific publications on the topic of research.Results and Discussion. The main essential characteristics of thinking and thought operations underlying it in general and divergent thinking in particular were determined. The conceptual character of thinking based on judgments, inferences and concepts is defined. It was found out that the regularities of thought processes are conditioned by such thought operations as synthesis, analysis, generalization, classification, abstraction and others. At the same time, the heuristic nature of cognitive process is provided by means of intuitive insight. It is concluded that the foundation of the phenomenon under study is the dialectical nature of thinking aimed at research and resolution of contradictions.Conclusion. The field of application of the obtained results is the definition of the essence of divergent thinking of university students, research of the problem of its formation and further development.

Importance. The integration of artificial intelligence technologies into educational processes is becoming an irreversible process in the development of the information society. With regard to the methodology of foreign language teaching, many researchers note the huge potential of new technologies that can be used to increase the effectiveness of teaching and improve the quality of education. Artificial intelligence technologies are actively used in adaptive learning of foreign languages. Neural networks allow creating personalized training programs and unique content that meet the level of development of the student and his personal interests and needs. Artificial intelligence technologies make it possible to automate the performance of a number of pedagogical tasks, thereby saving the teacher’s time. Such tasks include the generation of educational content and automated assessment of academic performance. Numerous virtual assistants working on artificial intelligence algorithms make it possible to effectively learn a foreign language, respond to students’ requests, provide additional educational materials, give recommendations and are able to maintain feedback. However, despite the obvious advantages, neural networks have a number of significant disadvantages that can negatively affect the learning process. The purpose of this work is to study the Twee neural network, which is positioned as an effective assistant to an English teacher, to determine its linguistic and didactic potential and functional features, to identify its strengths and weaknesses, as well as to determine its applicability for solving certain pedagogical tasks.Research Methods. Theoretical methods are used to conduct the research: the study of scientific literature on the research topic, analysis, generalization and classification; empirical methods: observation, description and experimental verification; practical methods: modeling the educational process. As a result of studying the linguodidactic potential and functional features of the Twee neural network, its tools are identified and described, allowing an English teacher to plan, organize and evaluate the educational process.Results and Discussion. The applicability of the Twee neural network to the process of learning English has been studied and described in detail. This neural network allows generating unique educational content and creating communicative exercises aimed at developing all types of speech activity and aspects of language, with the exception of phonetics. The paper also analyzes the capabilities of the Twee neural network to perform pedagogical tasks that an English teacher faces on a daily basis.Conclusion. In the current state, the Twee neural network is the first qualitative step towards integrating artificial intelligence technologies into the methodology of teaching a foreign language. Having a number of obvious advantages, this neural network will not be able to completely replace an English teacher, but will act as an additional learning tool. The obtained results and conclusions can be used in further research on the methodology of teaching foreign languages using artificial intelligence technologies.

 Importance. The construction of methodical models of teaching is due to a number of factors that determine the trajectories of the pedagogical science development. Modeling allows to systematize and optimize the learning process, thereby making it purposeful and effective. The methodical model, acting as a framework, defines the structure, content and sequence of educational actions aimed at achieving a specific result. However, in order to build an effective methodical model of teaching, a teacher requires high-quality training, deep knowledge and pedagogical qualifications. In the context of modern information and communication technologies and artificial intelligence tools, modeling of the educational process acquires a new meaning. The need to adapt traditional teaching methods to innovative teaching tools is at the base of teaching foreign languages via modern methods. At the moment, there is an increased demand on the labor market for specialists in the field of jurisprudence who are ready and able to use a foreign language in the professional sphere. The development of artificial intelligence technologies and the appearance of legal document design tools in the public domain make it possible to study written legal discourse through a system of conditional speech and speech exercises. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to develop a methodical model for teaching law students to legal drafting in a foreign language using artificial intelligence tools.Research Methods. Theoretical and empirical research methods are used in the research: the study and analysis of scientific and methodical literature in the field of pedagogy, psychology and methods of teaching foreign languages, generalization, identification of patterns and establishment of cause-and-effect relationships. Taking into account the peculiarities of legal document design tools and modern teaching technologies, a methodical model of teaching law students to legal drafting in a foreign language through artificial intelligence tools is developed and described in detail. Results and Discussion. A methodical model of teaching law students to legal drafting in a foreign language using artificial intelligence tools is developed and described in detail. Structurally, the methodical model is represented by five interrelated components: prerequisites, target component, theoretical, operational component, performance-evaluation component. All components are hierarchically interconnected and form a single system.Conclusions. The methodological model of teaching law students to legal drafting in a foreign language through artificial intelligence tools allows them to simulate the educational process, identifying its advantages and disadvantages. The results obtained in the course of the research can be used in the development of methods for teaching students of non-linguistic universities foreign legal discourse using artificial intelligence tools.

Importance. The appeal to the anthropocentric paradigm of scientific knowledge at the turn of 20th–21st centuries alongside with the active development of international cooperation in various fields require updating the content and objectives of linguistic education through the integrated study of languages and cultures. However, the problems of development of the linguocultural competence as an integral part of professional training of a foreign language teaching specialist currently need more detailed study. The aim of the research is to characterise the concept of “linguocultural competence” and to consider the methods for the development of the competence in the context of professional training of a future teacher.Materials and Methods. The analysis of the scientific and methodical literature that served as the research material, the systematization and comparative analysis of approaches to the interpretation of the characteristics and content of the “linguocultural competence” concept, the design of educational activities in the context of the development of linguocultural competence among students of language specialties made up a set of methods used in this work.Results and Discussion. The existing approaches to the interpretation of the term “linguocultural competence” and similar definitions of “linguoculturological competence”, “cultural and linguistic competence” are studied. A definition relevant for use in the process of professional training of a foreign language teacher is proposed, as well as a description of some methods of work on the development of linguocultural competence among students of language specialties.Conclusion. The integration of relevant cultural and linguistic aspects into the content of linguistic education contributes to improving the quality of professional training of students – future teachers of a foreign language. The development of linguocultural competence among students of language specialties is a prerequisite for the successful implementation of their professional activities.

Importance. The research examines the important problem of teaching Russian as a foreign language to residents of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea. The prerequisites for studying Russian as a foreign language by residents of Equatorial Guinea are considered; the prospects for the Russian Federation to create conditions for cooperation with this state and teaching its citizens the Russian language are analyzed; the features of modern language policy in Equatorial Guinea are described.Materials and Methods. The research presents the results of a survey conducted among students from a number of African countries currently studying at the preparatory department of the Lipetsk State Pedagogical P. Semenov-Tyan-Shansky University, which made it possible to identify the peculiarities of perception of Russia and the Russian language by young residents of modern Africa.Results and Discussion. During the research, problems associated with the distorted perception of Russian people by the African consciousness are identified, and recommendations are proposed for working with students from the Republic of Equatorial Guinea. The research showed that modern residents of African countries, even those intending to get higher education in the Russian Federation, do not have systematic knowledge about Russia or its culture and are given almost no opportunity to study the Russian language at home. However, in general, their attitude towards our country can be characterized as positive.Conclusion. The results obtained have theoretical value, since they allow us to draw conclusions about the problems that can be encountered when teaching Russian as a foreign language to African residents, and practical significance, since they make it possible to develop recommendations for ensuring cooperation with the Republic of Equatorial Guinea and teaching Russian to its citizens.

Importance. Methods of analyzing the effectiveness of the training process in game sports always impose certain requirements to the studied components: the quality of tasks performed by athletes, quantitative indicators of correctly accepted in accordance with the coach’s instructions solutions to situational problems in game episodes. A great importance is also the efficiency of the received information, the speed of statistical processing for making operational and strategic coaching decisions. In this regard, the most common information document designed for analytical activities to determine the effectiveness of training or game process in amateur hockey teams is a statistical list, where statisticians mark with icons game interactions of athletes, the degree of their success, the choice of playing position and technical parameters of receiving and passing the puck, won and lost combat sports, strength building, maintaining dynamic balance, etc. At the end of the procedure the results for each hockey player and five players are calculated in order to determine the effectiveness of game interaction, as well as to develop further strategic line of the training process. The inconvenience of this methods is the definition of evaluation tasks (in particular, we are talking about the intensified saturation component within the research topic) for each training process that has a certain target orientation, as well as the low speed of statistical processing of the obtained data. The purpose of the research: to analyze the game interaction of athletes of the hockey team “Derzhava” based on the use of instrumental methods to assess the game actions of representatives of groups of athletes differentiated by anthropometric indicators.Research Methods. Analysis of scientific and methodological literature on the research problem, systematization, pedagogical observation, instrumental diagnostic method “Physical Education Teacher Assessment Instrument”, methods of mathematical statistics, generalization.Results and Discussion. The results of game adaptation of hockey players, referred to different groups of athletes with special anthropometric data at the end of the preparatory period on the basis of individual indicators of game interaction in control games are analyzed.Conclusion. Research results can be used as information for game sports trainers when evaluating competitive game activity in selected sports.

Importance. The study of the development of large landed estates in the Russian Empire in the post-reform period is an important part of historical research, as it allows us to consider the totality of social and economic factors that affected the agrarian issue. Large latifundias were the development agents of capitalist relations in agriculture, as they were the highest level of vendibility estates, and certain owners introduced the most modern methods of land use and management to increase profitability.Materials and Methods. The main sources of the research is the materials of a separate collection of documents of the Novo-Pokrovsk estate kept in the State Archive of the Tambov Region (F. 195, 1113 items of storage).Results and Discussion. The system of administrative control at the level of the Orlovs-Davydovs estates included the work of patrimonial offices with a staff of chancellors and managers, followed by the chiefs of economies, who controlled remote land and cattle-breeding areas, and the rangers, who monitored the whole complex of production relations, on a special license.Conclusion. The study of the peculiarities of administration of the Novo-Pokrovsk economy showed the effectiveness of the formed system of management of landed property. This system was based on the work of the Main Office, which ensured the correct operation of certain estates of the Orlovs-Davydovs family.

Importance. Interest in the events taking place on the territory of Western Belarus in the period 1939–1953 is supported both by the complexity and inconsistency of the processes that are taking place today in the Russian Federation and abroad, and by the insufficient degree of study of certain issues related to the activities of law enforcement agencies in the history of our state. Topics related to the activities of the NKVD−NKGB−MVD−MGB of the USSR bodies on the territory of Western Belarus in 1939–1953 are currently not sufficiently studied in detail by historical science, which leads to the falsification of historical events of those years. The purpose of the research is to reveal the historical events taking place on the territory of the western regions of Belarus and the activities of the law enforcement agencies of the Soviet state to ensure public safety in 1939–1953 in this region.Materials and Methods. The research is based on declassified archival materials of the Republic of Belarus, the State Archive of the Russian Federation and the Russian State Military Archive. Party materials of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Belarus (CPB), Minsk, Brest and Pinsk regional committees of the CPB, the Political Department of the Red Army, documents of the Belarusian headquarters of the partisan movement and the People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs of the USSR – the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR (1934–1960) are studied. Both general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as synchronistic and problemchronological methods are used.Results and Discussion. The German aggression against Poland in 1939 contributed to the reunification of Western and Eastern Belarus, and also put before the state authorities of the USSR the restructuring of all spheres of life of the local population. The features and directions of restructuring the activities of the NKVD−NKGB−MVD−MGB of the USSR to ensure public safety in the specified historical period on the territory of Western Belarus are investigated. Specific measures that were carried out by the law enforcement agencies of the USSR to ensure public security in the western regions of Belarus in the period 1939–1953 are considered. Considerable attention is paid to the activities of the NKVD−NKGB−MVD−MGB of the USSR to eliminate the nationalist underground on the eve of the war and in the post-war period on the territory of Western Belarus.Conclusion. The joint activities of law enforcement agencies and state authorities played an important role in ensuring public safety in the territory of Western Belarus in 1939–1953.

Importance. General Raffaele Cadorna Jr. (1889–1973) is one of the most important figures in the Italian resistance movement. In September 1944 he joined the General Command of the Corps of Volunteers for Freedom (CVL), which was the highest military leadership body of the Resistance, as a military adviser and in November 1944 he became the Commander in Chief of the guerrilla army. Despite the important positions held by the General in the leadership of the armed antifascist struggle, neither in the Russian historiography nor in any other one have existed specialized studies dedicated to his participation in the Resistance.Materials and Methods. The source base of the research includes official documents issued during the period under review by such bodies as the General Command of CVL and the Committee for National Liberation for Northern Italy (CLNAI) as well as sources of personal origin (memoirs of R. Cadorna). Accepted scientific methodology is used generally in the research process; own research is based on such principles as objectivism, historicism and systematicity.Results and Discussion. The attempt is made to examine the main aspects of Cadorna’s activities as a part of the General Command of CVL; to analyze the main problems that the participants of the Resistance movement faced in the autumn 1944 – spring 1945; to identify ways to solve them proposed by Cadorna (in cooperation with his colleagues from the General Command); to consider problems associated with the consolidation of scattered groups of insurgents in the unified guerrilla army (CVL) and effective management of its operations; to analyze the activities of Cadorna during the national anti-fascist uprising (April 25) and finally show his personal contribution to the victory of the Italian resistance movement.Conclusion. The activities of General Cadorna as part of the leadership structures of the Italian resistance movement facilitated the consolidation of the anti-fascist forces and was his personal contribution to the victory of the national liberation struggle of the Italian people against the Nazi invaders and their collaborators – Italian fascists.
