background: modern managers face the challenge of finding relevant employee motivation systems. A comprehensive and relevant approach is needed to measure the nature of their interaction with the workforce in order to create a comprehensive and more effective management system that will result in increased team loyalty, engagement, and motivation, as well as reduced conflict and stress in the corporate environment, leading to improved performance. This necessitates the development of a methodology that can assess the various components of the socio-psychological climate and innovation culture in an organization and their interconnectedness. Objectives. Development and testing of a methodology for assessing the interconnection of different components of the socio-psychological climate and the innovation culture of a work collective. Study Participants. The sample consisted of employees from 20 Russian companies across three industries: information technology, media, and logistics – in total, 200 people. Methods. Based on the analysis of existing research in the field of innovative organizational culture and its relationship with the socio-psychological climate of the workforce, a survey-based methodology was developed. It included 45 items evaluating scales such as: "Talent Management," "Teamwork," "Clarity of Strategic Goals," "Management Effectiveness," "Strength of Corporate (Organizational) Culture," "Loyalty to the Organization," "Quality and Innovation," and "Training." To assess internal consistency (reliability), the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was calculated, and a correlation matrix was analyzed to evaluate relationships between the test scales. To validate the methodology, correlation analysis was conducted with the scales of the socio-psychological assessment of the group as a collective (SPCA) by R.S. Nemov [1]. Results. The developed methodology demonstrates high internal consistency (reliability) and validity. Conclusions. The proposed version of the methodology can be considered as a situational questionnaire for assessing the socio-psychological climate and the innovation culture within a working team, and its application is permissible alongside other methods.

the article analyzes the potential of using professional samples within the framework of a continuous professional professional system. The concept, key characteristics, types and stages of the organization of professional tests in the educational process are described. It was noted that participation in professional trials contributes to the development of key professional skills and competencies of students. The prospects of using this technology in interdepartmental cooperation have been identified. It is emphasized that the creation of an effective model for the implementation of professional tests, which will be integrated into the system of sectoral career guidance, will allow young people to choose a profession more consciously, as well as increase the level of compliance of educational programs with the requirements of the modern labor market. This indicates the need for interdepartmental cooperation and an integrated approach in the development of educational practices, including the integration of professional samples into both pre-university, university, and postgraduate professional development. Also, the integration of professional trials into the educational process requires the use of innovative approaches that ensure a close link between learning and practical activities. The facts of the effective application of professional tests in educational institutions show how such initiatives can effectively support the professional self-determination of young people. Thus, professional tests are a promising and effective tool for career guidance.

the article highlights the relevance of the special strategic partnership between Russia and China. The study of the specifics of the image of the world of Chinese students seems promising to us. Of all the modern theoretical views on the psychological construct "image of the world", we see V.P. Serkin's three-layered model of the image of the world as preferable. The purpose of the article is to formalize the results of a pilot study to identify the specifics of one of the layers of the image of the world – the nuclear layer. The methods of research were the methods of A.N. Leontiev: The Test of life sense orientations and the Methodology of studying value orientations. The implemented methods made it possible to identify the specifics of the nuclear layer of the Chinese students' worldview. Chinese students have reduced indicators on the scales of general meaningfulness of life, loci of control, general goal-setting and emotional saturation of Chinese students' lives. The specifics of the distribution of terminal and instrumental values among Chinese and Russian students are revealed. Chinese students put forward values related to interpersonal interaction and adaptation in society, whereas Russian students prioritize the values of personal development. Chinese students are willing to accept external factors as a source of discipline, while Russian students are more willing to accept themselves as a source of discipline. We believe that the pilot study has confirmed the initial hypothesis about the specifics of the nuclear layer of the image of the world, and will later take its place in a full-scale study to identify the specifics of the image of the world of Chinese and Russian students.

this article examines the study of stress tolerance among students of an agricultural university. Stress tolerance is defined as the adaptive ability of an organism to maintain physical and psychological health under stress. Factors causing stress for students include academic workload, interpersonal communication problems, lack of social support, etc. Stress tolerance is also influenced by internal factors, which is largely due to the personality traits of each student. As part of the study, the purpose of which was to assess the level of stress tolerance of agricultural university students, 28 students were interviewed using the methodology developed by Yu.V. Shcherbatykh. The results showed that the most significant stressors among the respondents are factors related to external circumstances, such as government or university administration actions, rising prices, etc. The article analyzes the reaction of students to various stress-causing factors, which makes it possible to identify the main stressors and identify the level of stress tolerance among students. As a result of the research, the main ways of relieving stress by agricultural students have also been established, which include overeating, watching TV and aggression. In general, the students' stress tolerance level is characterized as average, within the normal range and controlled.

the authors of the article consider dance and movement therapy (hereinafter, DMT) as an effective method of psychological and pedagogical support for students with limited health opportunities and disabilities (OHOD) in the higher education system within the framework of adaptive physical education (APF) classes. The historical background and theoretical foundations of the dance and movement therapy method are analyzed, and the key mechanisms of its impact on the emotional, cognitive, and social spheres of a student with OHOD are revealed. The authors consider the integration of TDT into the educational process as a body-oriented approach that promotes the harmonious development of the individual through movement, music, and group interaction, adapted to the individual needs of students with disabilities. This approach not only improves the physical condition of students in physical education classes, but also contributes to their psychological rehabilitation and social integration. Based on the analysis of modern Russian and foreign studies, the article demonstrates the potential of dance and movement therapy in solving the problems of social adaptation, reducing anxiety, developing communication skills, and improving the psychoemotional state of students with disabilities in adaptive physical education classes. The article notes that dance and movement therapy helps students to develop self-confidence, creativity, and improve their interpersonal relationships. An important aspect is the possibility of using dance and movement therapy in an inclusive environment, where every student, regardless of their physical abilities, can express themselves and find support. The article is intended for psychologists, teachers, specialists in inclusive education, adaptive physical education coaches, and anyone interested in body-oriented therapy. The research materials can serve as a basis for further development of inclusive practices in the higher education system.

the article is devoted to the study of the art of the Ancient East as a complex system of psychological influence that purposefully shaped the collective consciousness of representatives of traditional cultures. The purpose of the study is to reconstruct the system of psychological functions of the art of the Ancient East, proving its role as a tool for the purposeful construction of collective consciousness. To achieve this goal, the tasks of reconstructing the socio-religious context, analyzing formalized canonical models as a system of psychological coding, systematizing psychological functions and establishing continuity with modern analytical psychology were solved. The research is based on an interdisciplinary approach combining methods of comparative historical, iconographic, semiotic and contextual analysis. The apparatus of K.G. Jung's analytical psychology is used as a theoretical basis. The key formal canonical principles of ancient Eastern art (hierarchical scale, sacred attributes, stability of iconographic techniques) are systematized, which are interpreted as a system of psychological coding. The complex of psychological functions of art is revealed and described: legitimization of power and social order, translation of moral and ethical norms, emotional regulation, sacred communication and formation of collective identity. The practical significance of the research lies in the possibility of applying the results in modern psychotherapy: the development of art therapy techniques, the use of identified mechanisms of psychological influence in pedagogy and social design, as well as the integration of ancient Eastern psychotechnologies into counseling psychological practice. A substantial continuity has been established between the psychotechnologies represented in ancient Eastern art and the concepts of modern analytical psychology, which confirms the universality of the basic mechanisms of the impact of visual images on the psyche.

the professional training of medical specialists is associated with high psychoemotional loads, which places special demands on the level of development of the volitional self-regulation system. Research in this area is one of the key issues for improving the effectiveness and subsequent professional adaptation of future doctors. The purpose of the study was to identify the characteristics and levels of development of volitional qualities in first-year medical university students as the most stable characteristics of their volitional sphere. 185 1st-year students of Voronezh State Medical University named after N.N. Burdenko (specialty "Medical practice") participated in the study. The psychological diagnosis was carried out using M.V. Chumakov's methodology "Volitional qualities of personality", which makes it possible to assess the general level of development of volitional self-regulation and the degree of formation of nine specific volitional qualities. Based on the results obtained during the application of the methodology, it was found that half of the subjects (50.8%) had an average level of volitional self-regulation, 44.3% had a high level, and only 4.9% had a low level. The qualities of the first-year students turned out to be single–mindedness, responsibility and initiative, the least formed were endurance, attentiveness and energy, which may indicate a lack of self-control skills, concentration and psychophysiological endurance among the respondents from the study group. The data obtained make it possible to design and test psychological and pedagogical programs aimed at the purposeful development of the volitional sphere of medical students, in particular its least formed components.

in this article, the author provides a theoretical justification for the provocative insight model, in which controlled provocations catalyze the restructuring of cognitive processes, bringing them into a state favorable for sudden insight. The paper also describes the types of triggers and suggestive attitudes and neurophysiological correlates of the provocative insight model. To theoretically substantiate the provocative insight model and identify dominant scientific trends in this field, we reviewed 124,624 English- and Russian-language scientific sources published between 2018 and 2025 in two electronic library databases: Scopus and eLibrary. This article revealed that provocative strategies are used in psychology and psychotherapy [29], medicine, and neurophysiology. When properly formulated, the use of insight as an adaptive form of implicit learning, manifested in the breakdown of explicit strategies [28], can be extremely productive. Therefore, the provocative insight model, based on self-organizing processes, can be successfully applied not only in education, science, art, and the cognitive sphere, but also in activities involving motor-kinesthetic expression, such as sports or ballet.

the article reflects the results of the study of socio-psychological characteristics of a higher school teacher with a high level of psychosomatic well-being. Generalized conclusions are formulated based on the empirical study of significant characteristics of pedagogical activity in terms of behavioral control, empathy, decision-making, perceived stress, and emotional intelligence, as components of the professional competence of a university teacher. As a result, the psychological characteristics of a psychosomatically well-adjusted higher education teacher were identified, which include: high levels of volitional control; average levels of general, emotional, and cognitive control, as well as the criterion of maintaining relationships and social competence; and lower-than-average levels of coping with stress and distress, as well as low levels of empathy. The results obtained can be taken into account in the development of advanced training programs, training sessions, and master classes organized for the teaching community of higher education.

the article discusses the definition of the essence of the case study method in the context of teaching methods. A significant part is devoted to the theoretical foundations of the method, its place in modern linguodidactics and various forms of application in the practice of teaching foreign languages. Special attention is focused on the linguistic and didactic potential of the case method, which includes the development of communicative competence, critical thinking skills and effective group interaction of students. The article presents a developed set of tasks on the topic “Los viajes” (Travel), structured in accordance with the classification of methodological stages of creating and conducting classes using the case method and aimed at developing the oral speech skills of students at the B1-B2 language proficiency level. The article also provides an example for each stage. This research contributes to the improvement of modern methods of teaching a foreign language, providing teachers with theoretical foundations and practical tools for using communicative learning technologies. In addition, this work shows possible ways to integrate the case study method into educational programs, contributing to the formation of students’ oral speech skills necessary for effective communication in real-life situations. However, despite various studies that confirm the effectiveness of the case study method, its implementation in the real learning process is not always correct. In this regard, the aim of the study was to formulate the theoretical provisions of using the case method in Spanish lessons in accordance with modern methodological research.

the effectiveness of physical rehabilitation methods using biofeedback for restoring motor function in patients after stroke is examined. Evaluation of motor functions of the upper limbs in patients using a DASH questionnaire revealed several gender differences in the studied parameters ("Level of Consciousness 1b" and "Level of Consciousness 1c"). Ataxia of one limb was observed in 71.4% of men and 28.6% of women, hemihypersesthesia was more common than normal sensitivity in 55.6% of men and 44.4% of women. The use of the ArmeoSpring complex in a comprehensive post-stroke rehabilitation program improved wrist and shoulder flexion, normalized muscle tone, and normalized the contractility of the brachioradialis muscle.

the article discusses different aspects of the process of learning Russian as a second language in a group of students from Equatorial Guinea (A1-A2 level of fluency). The system of grammatical cases and case declension are some of the most challenging topics in the Russian language. This area of grammar presents considerable difficulties for non-native speakers of Russian, especially if the students’ native languages don’t have a system of grammatical cases. Researching new methods of teaching Russian as a second language to university students from Equatorial Guinea and other African countries is gaining relevance against the backdrop of the strengthening of diplomatic, socioeconomic and cultural ties. The article analyzes potential challenges that adult students from Equatorial Guinea face when starting to learn Russian as a second language. It goes on to present effective methods of teaching the Russian case system to foreign students and offer a series of grammar exercises based on active methods of learning.

modern society is increasingly aware of its dependence on the quality of legal education, as the level and system of legal knowledge significantly affect the effectiveness of a person's activities in society. This issue takes on a particularly important significance in the context of children living in orphanages. In this case, the orphanage takes on the mission of educating citizens and patriots, helping to develop the abilities and talents of the children, and preparing them for life. The authors highlight the non-legal attitudes of children living in orphanages and define the principles of their socio-legal development, as well as present the results of an empirical study on this topic. In order to study the effectiveness of pedagogical support for the development of social and legal competence among children living in an orphanage, an empirical study was conducted at the Children's Home (Mixed) No. 32 in Pyatigorsk (experimental group of 10 people) and the Children's Home (Mixed) No. 10 in Zheleznovodsk, Stavropol Krai (control group of 10 people). A total of 20 respondents aged 11-16 (11 boys and 9 girls) participated in the study.

contemporary Russian society is witnessing a critical transformation in the value paradigm of the younger generation. Traditional moral and ethical guidelines are losing their fundamentality, giving way to the pragmatic attitudes of consumer culture. The younger generation finds itself in a state of axiological uncertainty, where classical notions of what is proper are eroded under the pressure of aggressive information flows. This profound rupture in cultural continuity creates systemic risks for full-fledged personal development and social integration. A profound crack in the value system has led to a serious crisis in the moral foundations of modern society. The resulting value vacuum poses the threat of cultural disorientation, in which centuries-old ethical principles are gradually being supplanted by the superficial templates of a mass consumerist worldview. Traditional moral guidelines are eroded by the pressure of standardized cultural cliches, which inevitably leads to spiritual degradation and the loss of cultural identity.

the purpose of this article is to compare the effectiveness of block and traditional periodization models on the indicators of special physical fitness of young ski racers. The experiment involved 30 junior skiers (16-17 years old), divided into experimental and control groups. The effectiveness was assessed using testing: running on roller skis for 3 km, the "Cooper Test", determination of 1 PM in bench press, long jump from a standing position. In the experimental group, statistically more significant gains were recorded in the roller ski test and the 1PM strength test. Overall endurance performance improved in both groups without significant differences. As a result, block periodization demonstrates great effectiveness for the development of special strength endurance in junior skiers.

To compare the results of special coordination tests performed by football players on indoor turf and on snow-covered outdoor fields in winter conditions. To identify the nature of changes in balance, movement accuracy, reaction time, and ball control during play in the winter period. To develop practical recommendations for coaches on adapting the training process in order to compensate for the negative effects of winter factors [9, 11]. Methods and organization of the study. The study employed methods of analysis and synthesis of scientific and methodological literature, a pedagogical experiment, pedagogical testing, and methods of mathematical statistics. Results and conclusions. The study revealed that playing in winter conditions has a pronounced impact on the manifestation of football players’ coordination abilities, significantly altering their performance during testing.

despite many years of research into the pedagogical potential of the project-based approach in higher education, its application in the field of students’ physical training remains unreasonably rare. The article examines the prerequisites for the emergence and development of the project-based approach, the reasons for its displacement from domestic pedagogical practice, as well as the features of its modern reintegration into student education. The problems of organizing project activities that arise from the peculiarities of human physical development and the specifics of the educational and training process are analyzed. The authors propose solutions tested in pedagogical practice. The leading role of the design stage and the importance of the public presentation of project results are emphasized as tools for forming sustainable student motivation for physical self-development.

materials and methods: this study utilizes a theoretical analysis of scientific literature on the structural organization of competitive activity in team sports for the period 2010–2025. To systematize data on the multilevel structure of team interactions, methods of system analysis, comparative analysis of theoretical concepts, and structural-functional analysis of competitive activity models were used. The methodological basis of the study was a systems approach with an emphasis on the study of the macro-, meso-, and micro-level components of team gaming activity, the phase structure of competitive processes, and the patterns of nonlinear dynamics of sports competition. Results: It was established that competitive activity in team sports is characterized by a three-level hierarchical structure: the macrolevel (team strategy and tactics, game systems, strategic priorities), the mesolevel (group tactical interactions, combination systems, coordinated actions of subgroups of players) and the microlevel (individual technical and tactical actions, motor activity, psychophysiological manifestations). A cyclical phase structure of game activity was revealed, including four main phases: possession of the initiative, defensive counteraction, positive transition and negative transition. Key characteristics of the nonlinear dynamics of competitive processes are determined: the unpredictability of the development of game situations, the multiplicity of paths to achieving results, the emergent properties of team interactions and the self-organization of the system under the influence of internal and external constraints. The internal and external factors affecting the effectiveness of competitive activity are systematized, highlighting their specific impact on team performance. Conclusion: The conducted systems analysis revealed the complex, multi-component nature of competitive activity in team sports, requiring a multi-level approach to analyzing and managing team processes. Priority areas for practical application are identified: developing differentiated training methods for each level of system organization, creating specialized preparation programs for various phases of game activity, implementing adaptive management strategies that take into account the nonlinear nature of competitive processes, and developing integrated systems for monitoring the effectiveness of team system functioning. The results of the study can be used by coaches and sports training specialists to improve competitive analysis methodology, optimize training processes, and enhance the effectiveness of team interaction management in team sports.

the purpose of the article is to identify and justify the ways to improve the system of preparing the future chemistry teacher for effective intercultural interaction in the professional environment of the polyetonic region. Methodology and research methods. The study is based on a theoretical analysis of scientific literature on the problem of intercultural interaction in pedagogy, social psychology and cultural studies. The empirical base was analyzed by the analysis of educational standards and curricula, as well as the results of the survey of students - future chemistry teachers of Khakass State University named after N.F. Katanova. Results. It was revealed that the existing training system for future chemistry teachers is not sufficiently focused on the formation of the competencies of intercultural interaction. It was established that the key solution is the system integration of the ethnocultural component both into the educational (through the disciplines “Methods of chemistry” and “History of chemistry”), and in extracurricular activities (research work, pedagogical practice, cultural and educational projects). A comprehensive model for the implementation of this component has been developed and presented, including the creation of the cultural and educational space “Ethno-laboratory: Chemistry of cultures”. Theoretical and practical significance. The theoretical significance lies in the systematization of theoretical approaches to understanding intercultural interaction and substantiating the need to form its future subject teachers. Practical significance consists in the development of specific ways and methods of integrating the ethnocultural component into the educational process of a pedagogical university, which can be applied in the practice of higher education. Conclusions. The preparation of the future chemistry teacher for intercultural interaction requires an integrated approach that goes beyond the standard curriculum. The most effective is the purposeful formation of ethnocultural competence through the unity of educational and extracurricular activities, which will allow future teachers to become guides between science and culture in the context of a multinational class.

the article is devoted to the urgent problem of reducing motor activity of primary school children in modern conditions. The purpose of the study is to analyze the factors affecting the motor activity of primary school students and to develop recommendations for its increase. The work examines such problems as the growth of childhood obesity, an increase in the number of children with cardiovascular diseases and asthma. The study shows that primary school students show a high interest in physical education lessons, especially in game form, but with the transition to secondary school, attendance at classes decreases significantly. The results obtained can be recommended for the implementation of a differentiated approach to the organization of physical education classes, including the separate education of boys and girls from grades 5-6. This approach will create more comfortable psychological conditions for classes, take into account the gender characteristics of physical development and the interests of students, increase motivation and attendance of physical education lessons. The practical significance of the work lies in substantiating the need for a differentiated approach to organizing physical education classes, including the separation of flows by gender in secondary and high school, which can help increase motivation and confidence of students in their physical abilities.

the article is devoted to the study of the correspondence of e-learning (electronic didactics) to classical didactic principles and the possibilities of its practical application in the education system. The purpose of the study is to determine to what extent modern information and communication technologies and artificial intelligence meet the requirements of didactic principles and whether they can provide effective learning at various levels of education. The paper analyzes the theoretical foundations of the development of the concepts of "digital didactics" and "digital pedagogy", and also examines the possibilities and limitations of e-learning in the context of the implementation of didactic principles such as consistency, motivation, and the relationship between theory and practice. The study shows that e-learning is mainly based on the principles of classical didactics and has a high potential for improving the effectiveness of learning, provided that students are highly motivated and independent. However, its versatility and completeness of implementation are difficult when teaching younger students and in disciplines that require practical and experimental methods. The practical application of the research results is to clarify the conditions and limitations of the use of electronic technologies in the educational process, as well as to develop methods that take into account the features of digital didactics.

materials and methods: The article examines traditional Yakut folk games and competitions as an integral part of cultural heritage and an effective means of physical education. Based on the analysis of 91 motor actions described in the works of N.K. Shamaev, A.S. Fedorov, V.I. Prokopenko, A.F. Pugacheva, and other scholars, a comprehensive classification of these games is proposed according to five criteria: biomechanical structure, manifestation of physical qualities, combination of qualities and competitiveness, type of activity, and positional characteristic (seated vs. dynamic). Results. The study reveals that Yakut games develop strength, endurance, agility, fine motor skills, spatial orientation, and social competencies. Particular emphasis is placed on the dual nature of these games—both active and seated – reflecting the practical orientation of traditional Yakut culture. The pedagogical potential of folk games for contemporary physical education systems is highlighted, as they contribute to preserving cultural identity and fostering well-rounded personal development. Conclusion. This research confirms the significance of traditional Yakut games and competitions as a unique component of cultural heritage and a powerful tool for physical, intellectual, and social development. The proposed comprehensive classification enables systematic organization of motor activities and reveals their pedagogical value. Integrating these traditional games into modern educational practices not only enhances physical health but also safeguards ethnocultural identity and promotes the formation of a harmoniously developed individual.

the article is devoted to the techniques of learning high-flying skills and simultaneous support during the flight of objects performed by mixed pairs in artistic gymnastics. The purpose of the study is to scientifically substantiate the methodology of using a range of techniques that increase the effectiveness of mastering collaborations with high throws of an object, and performing dynamic supports with rotation during the flight of the object, in the discipline of "mixed pairs" artistic gymnastics.

The study involved 12 pairs of highly qualified athletes. In order to determine the complexity and quality of their interactions with high throws, dynamic support, and catching in competitive programs, an expert assessment was conducted. This assessment was based on the cost of motor interactions, according to the competition rules, taking into account additional criteria. Research results and conclusions. In the course of the performed scientific research, data were obtained that formed the basis for a methodology for learning high-difficult techniques and simultaneous support during the flight of an object by mixed pairs in artistic gymnastics. The study was conducted between September and December 2024.

Tai Chi is a Chinese internal martial art that is also widely practiced as a therapeutic exercise. It combines fluid movements and static postures, as well as breath control. This martial art originated in China during the Qing Dynasty (17th century). This art helps develop harmony and balance, and also promotes personal and spiritual development. A large number of students enter higher education institutions who were not involved in athletic training earlier in their education (school). For them, intense physical activity and dynamic competitive activities, such as sports games or external martial arts, can be off-putting. Tai Chi Chuan, in contrast, with its fluid movements and calm breathing, may be a more beneficial form of physical activity within students' physical education. The purpose of this article is to analyze the pedagogical challenges and opportunities for integrating elements of Tai Chi Chuan into the educational process of student athletes. A review of relevant literature, a survey of teachers and students, and a SWOT analysis helped identify the main barriers to the implementation of tai chi in higher education. The object of this study is the physical education system in universities. The subject of this study is the pedagogical conditions and models for integrating tai chi without expensive equipment. Three practical implementation models are proposed: electives, specialized courses, and integration into classroom activities. It is shown that these measures do not require special equipment and can improve student motivation and physical fitness, enriching modern educational approaches and strengthening interdisciplinary potential.

the article is devoted to solving the current problem of designing a physical education and sports environment for students with high intellectual abilities in the context of transition to a new campus. The aim of the study is to develop and theoretically substantiate a structural and functional model aimed at compensating for physical inactivity, health preservation and personal development of students. The work uses a range of methods, including analysis of teaching practice, design and systematization. As a result, a detailed model was proposed that integrates variable class and extracurricular forms of activity, an inclusive laboratory for students exempt from physical activity, and a health-preserving infrastructure. A system of quantitative indicators for assessing the effectiveness of future implementation of the model has been defined. The discussion of the results confirms the comprehensive nature of the model and its compliance with the challenges of modern education. The model can be adapted for other educational organizations.

in rhythmic gymnastics group routines, close-catch (CC) supports are a crucial element of expressiveness and complexity. However, analysis of competitive programs reveals a limited repertoire of these elements, highlighting the need to develop novel and original approaches to their execution. Objective: To design a block-modular system for developing apparatus-handling support skills in rhythmic gymnastics, aimed at expanding the range of complex and original CC elements. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted at the Lesgaft National State University of Physical Education, Sport and Health. Kinematic parameters of gymnasts performing acrobatic supports with apparatus throws from a kneeling position were assessed using video recording and Kinovea software analysis. The angle of the apparatus, movement time, and velocity were analyzed for various apparatus (hoop, ball, clubs, rope, ribbon) within different phases of the throw. Results: Based on kinematic analysis, a block-modular system was developed, incorporating a set of exercises aimed at developing necessary skills and correcting potential errors. Shared characteristics of throws and apparatus-specific features were identified. The system is comprised of five blocks: general and specific physical preparation, support technique, throwing and catching technique, combining support and throw, and skill refinement. Conclusions: The designed block-modular system provides a structured and flexible tool for training gymnasts to perform complex apparatus-handling supports. The system allows for individualization of the training process, objective evaluation of results, and promotes the improvement of gymnasts' mastery in rhythmic gymnastics.

materials and methods: this study utilized materials from a preliminary pedagogical experiment conducted by a Vladivostok State University instructor at the Prometey Sports School, a municipal state institution of supplementary education in the Artemovsky Urban District of Primorsky Krai, from September 2022 to August 2023. Three experimental adaptive swimming training programs for children with mild mental retardation were developed: Program 1 – an adaptive swimming training program incorporating elements of water polo; Program 2 – an adaptive swimming training program incorporating elements of freediving; and Program 3 – an adaptive swimming training program incorporating elements of aqua aerobics. These programs were aimed at developing the coordination skills and swimming proficiency of primary school-aged children with mild mental retardation. Results. A preliminary pedagogical experiment revealed that a program with elements of water polo had the greatest impact on the development of spatial orientation and the differentiation of muscular effort; a program with elements of aqua aerobics contributed to improved rhythm reproduction and balance; and spatial orientation also significantly improved with a program with elements of freediving. Conclusion. This article explores the need to incorporate elements of water polo, freediving, and aqua aerobics into the process of teaching swimming and developing the coordination skills of children with mental retardation.

Particular attention is paid to the analysis of disproportions in the structure of teachers' professional readiness and the development of measures to overcome the identified deficiencies. The objective of the study is to conduct a structural and substantive analysis of the professional readiness of teaching staff to implement preventive activities with adolescents demonstrating deviant behavior, to develop and test criteria for assessing the level of professional competence of teachers. Methods. The following methodological tools were used in the course of the research: at the theoretical level – analysis of scientific sources on the research problem, generalization and structuring of various approaches to the interpretation of deviations in adolescent behavior and prevention in the general educational environment; at the empirical level – questionnaires (the author’s questionnaire “Assessment of professional readiness for the prevention of deviant behavior”); statistical methods (content analysis, calculation of percentages and average values); interpretive method. Results. A professional readiness framework was developed, including motivational-value, cognitive, activity-practical, reflective-evaluative criteria, and digital literacy. A tiered model for their development was proposed. Conclusions. The study results demonstrate the need to improve the teacher training system with an emphasis on developing IT competencies and practice-oriented preventative skills in the context of the digital transformation of education.

the article discusses the influence of the psychophysiological characteristics of curling athletes on the success of competitive activities. Purpose of the work: To identify the influence of the psychophysiological characteristics of the personality of athletes aged 12-14 on the success of competitive activities in curling. The emerging unfavorable emotional states, which arise not only in the course of life and intensify in the process of extreme (stressful) conditions, such as competitive activity, cause the prerequisites for the development of means for their regulation and prevention, as well as the development of emotional personality traits that contribute to the increase of emotional stability. The complex of exercises of relaxation rhythmic gymnastics used in the pedagogical experiment was aimed at achieving optimal indicators of the psychophysical state of athletes. It also helps to reduce negative emotional states, such as excitement, pre-start fever, anxiety, apathy, insecurity, overconfidence, shyness, fear, confusion, panic, exaltation, affectation, and emotionalism.

in this article, the authors consider current pedagogical problem regarding the use of motivational verbal and non-verbal means in the process of teaching younger students foreign communication. The relevance of the research lies in the fact that in the methodology of teaching English at the initial stage, it is advisable to find and use effective methods of using verbal and non-verbal means. This allows you to interest students in learning the subject, as well as maintain constant interest in it during the learning process. The authors aim to study effective methods used in teaching English to younger students using motivational verbal and non-verbal means. To identify their effectiveness, as well as the feasibility of application, the authors used empirical methods and methods of statistical processing of experimental data. The main objectives of the study include consideration of the concepts of "motivation," "verbal and non-verbal means," as well as an analysis of the practical results of teaching younger students to communicate in a foreign language using the above means. The final result of the use of motivational verbal and non-verbal means when teaching children foreign languages in elementary school was not only their general speech development, but also introduction of schoolchildren to the culture and customs of the country’s studied language.
