the article is devoted to an empirical analysis of the impact of various game scenarios on students' learning motivation, educational consistency, and academic performance. The research is based on a cognitive economic approach that considers learning as a process of choice with limited rationality. As part of an experiment implemented in a digital educational environment, four versions of the course were compared: basic, quest, competitive and cooperative. The data obtained demonstrate a significant increase in motivation and consistency of learning in all gamified conditions compared to the control situation. The effect is particularly strong in the collaboration scenario, where there is a maximum increase in the motivation index and a positive change in the average GPA. The findings reveal the cognitive mechanisms of the impact of game elements and offer recommendations for integrating gamification into online courses.

the article examines the axiological approach to the organization of the educational process in the context of the digital transformation of society. The necessity of shaping students’ value orientations in the context of a digital educational environment is emphasized. Key axiological components manifested in new forms of learning involving digital technologies are analyzed. The article presents the results of a study reflecting students’ attitudes toward the value aspects of digital learning. Introduction. Modern society is undergoing large-scale changes associated with the digital transformation of all spheres of life, including education. The task of comprehending the axiological foundations of educational practices in the context of digitalization is becoming increasingly relevant, as value orientations determine the meaning and direction of learning and shape students' personal positions in a rapidly changing world. Materials and Methods The study employed the following methods: theoretical analysis of scientific literature on the problems of axiology and digitalization in education; a survey of students from a pedagogical university aimed at identifying their attitudes toward the value aspects of digital learning; and methods of mathematical and statistical data processing. The survey included question blocks aimed at assessing the importance of such values as self-realization, social responsibility, autonomy, ethical digital behavior, and the perception of digital educational technologies in terms of their alignment with students’ personal and professional orientations. Research Results. The results showed that the majority of respondents (72%) recognize the importance of digital competencies for personal and professional development. However, only 45% of students indicated that digital technologies contribute to the development of responsibility and critical thinking. A heterogeneity in the perception of axiological aspects was revealed: some students experience a lack of motivation and a sense of alienation in the context of digital learning. At the same time, 60% of the respondents emphasized the importance of the ethics of digital interaction as a new value category. Discussion and Conclusions. The data obtained indicate the need for the purposeful formation of students' value orientations related to the responsible and conscious use of digital educational resources. The identified contradiction between the instrumental and value functions of digital technologies requires adjustments to pedagogical strategies to strengthen the axiological component of learning. The digital educational environment should not only expand learning opportunities but also contribute to the formation of stable value attitudes among students. Further research is needed to develop effective methodological solutions that ensure the integration of axiological aspects into digital education.

the article discusses the problem of teaching visually impaired students to read in French. Currently, a large number of such children study at schools, so teachers are faced with the task of developing an optimal model for working with «special children». To achieve this goal, it is necessary to take into account the psychological and pedagogical characteristics of students with special educational needs when teaching them to read, since reading is a complex type of speech activity and is carried out in close cooperation with other types of speech. Inclusive education of children is the most difficult for foreign language teachers. They are faced with the task of developing the student's personal potential, depending on his individual capabilities and needs. In addition, teachers should help create an educational environment in which every student will achieve a successful educational outcome. The system of adaptive exercises developed by the author allows visually impaired students to successfully complete tasks for different types of reading at all three stages of working with the educational text. This system has been tested and proven to be effective. The author has also formulated a number of recommendations for teachers who work with visually impaired children. These recommendations take into account the peculiarities of the development of this category of students and help teachers organize effective work on teaching reading to children with disabilities.

the aim of the study is to identify the most optimal approach to the implementation of the discipline "Philosophy" in the context of e-learning in higher education. It is noted that e-learning appears as a new educational paradigm that significantly changes traditional approaches to the educational process, which entails methodological and organizational difficulties, especially in teaching the humanities. The existing approaches to organizing the educational process in philosophy in higher education (distance, hybrid, blended) are considered, allowing for the mastery of the subject in the context of a new educational environment. The undeniable advantages and significant disadvantages of each approach are revealed. It is shown that the most effective approach is the blended learning format, since it allows combining the best practices of traditional teaching of philosophy and innovative electronic means, which opens up new prospects for dynamic learning, while maintaining the depth of content and academic rigor of the discipline. The proposed methodological recommendations for organizing the process of implementing the discipline "Philosophy" allow us to level out the shortcomings of the mixed approach and contribute to the formation of an intellectual environment that stimulates the cognitive activity and motivation of students, in-depth study of philosophy and mastery of the necessary competencies of the 21st century.

interest in Russian military education has not faded in the world for many decades. According to the website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, in recent years 83 foreign countries have sent their citizens to study at Russian military universities, and the total number of foreign cadets has exceeded 10,000 people. The author of the article focuses on cadets from countries of Africa, Southeast and West (Anterior) Asia, belonging to various ethnic groups, subethnic groups, communities, cultures and confessions, who have chosen the military profession as the main vector of personal self-realization. The educational process of a military university should be aimed at developing a military-professional identity in cadets, the value constants of which, regardless of historical time, ethnicity and religious affiliation, are the mode of service (E. Fromm's term), spiritual, moral and psychological qualities of the individual, ideas about honor, loyalty to military and civic duty, courage, fortitude, responsibility, discipline, etc. Military-professional identity determines the direction and intensity of adaptation and cognitive practices, as well as the individual's readiness for volitional self-regulation and overcoming external and internal obstacles on the path to professional development. The article characterizes the socio-cultural and psychological characteristics of foreign cadets and substantiates the educational strategy, the priorities of which are the value guidelines of the army as a social institution.

the article analyzes the importance and necessity of identifying indicators of a tendency to extremism in students with different degrees of suggestibility in the aspect of pedagogical prevention of extremist manifestations of students in the educational environment of the university. The assessment of the tendency to extremism in university students with different degrees of suggestibility was carried out using the following diagnostic tools: "Test for determining the degree of suggestibility", authors S.V. Klauchek and V.V. Delaryu modified by E. Merzlyakova, "Screening method for diagnosing a tendency to extremism", authors R.V. Kadyrov, T.V. Kapustina, E.V. Sadon, A.S. Elsesser. A comparative analysis of the tendency to extremism among students with different degrees of suggestibility was carried out using the Kruskal-Wallace H criterion. The obtained data allowed us to state that among the students studied, grouped by the degree of suggestibility (high, medium, low), there are significant differences in the formation of a tendency to extremism (H=34.323, p <0.01): the higher the degree of suggestibility, the more pronounced the student's tendency to extremist views and behavior patterns. At the same time, students with a low level of suggestibility, who have a stable system of values and developed critical thinking, are less susceptible to extremist ideas. This trend actualizes the task of early prevention: educational programs should not only form professional competencies, but also form critical thinking in students, the ability to resist manipulation, and the skills of independent analysis of information.
