the article presents an analysis of the correlation of interests of leading stakeholders in shaping the axiosphere of the younger generation through the prism of two views on the contradiction between the anthropocentric and sociocentric models of education – harmonizing (illustrated by the ideas of Paideia and Bildung) and antagonistic (illustrated by emancipatory education). The authors reveal the consequences of the decision of the Russian educational policy of this fundamental contradiction for pedagogy in favor of the second model in its statist version: the emphasis on the ideal component of value, which is fraught with the absolutization of values, their artificial uniformity; the fixation on the past. As a result, recommendations are proposed to mitigate the negative effects of the statist centralization of the official axiosphere promoted by the formal education system.

the article presents the results of a comprehensive study of the social and psychological determinants of the effectiveness of deviant behavior prevention in the school environment. The aim of the work was to determine the key factors of the effectiveness of preventive programs and to develop a scientifically based model of preventive work. Using a representative sample of 248 adolescents (124 girls and 124 boys) of grades 7-10 aged 13-17 years, 42 teachers and 86 parents of general educational institutions in Moscow, the key factors of the effectiveness of preventive programs were identified: the systematic nature of preventive work (34.2% variance), psychological competence of teachers (26.8% variance) and parental involvement (21.4% variance). The experimental group that participated in the comprehensive preventive program with a personalized approach demonstrated a significant decrease in deviant behavior (p < 0.01), especially in terms of aggressive behavior (by 28.3%) and addiction propensity (by 23.7%). A correlation was found between the psychological safety of the educational environment and a decrease in deviant behavior (r = 0.67, p < 0.01). Qualitative analysis of interviews and focus groups confirmed the importance of a personalized approach taking into account the personal characteristics of adolescents. The practical significance of the study lies in the development of an effective prevention model, recommendations for educational psychologists and methodological materials for the system of advanced training for teaching staff in the field of preventive work. The results of the study made it possible to develop an integrative model of preventive work, including diagnostic, family-oriented and correctional-developmental components, and to formulate scientifically based recommendations for optimizing preventive programs in educational institutions.

this article presents a multidisciplinary study examining the significance of improvisational practices in the development of bodily awareness and organic movement freedom among choreographic ensemble performers. The research synthesizes theoretical approaches from dance pedagogy, creativity psychology, and somatic studies. The authors systematically explore the dialectical relationship between spontaneous dance improvisation, the formation of holistic bodily self-awareness, and the liberation of performers' movement potential. The study classifies core methods for developing movement freedom into four complementary categories: 1) somatically-oriented techniques, 2) perceptual-sensory training, 3) reflective-imagery practices, and 4) communicative group work. A three-phase learning algorithm is described, enabling performers to progressively develop from basic bodily awareness through experimental exploration of movement possibilities to establishing a stable creative identity. The research outcomes hold value for diverse specialists: contemporary choreography educators, dance therapists, psychologists studying creative processes, and artistic directors seeking to enhance their performers' artistic level. The findings can be applied both in educational contexts and within psychological-pedagogical support systems for professional dancers.

currently, many university educators note a decline in the mathematical proficiency of students, which serves as the foundation for training highly qualified specialists capable of solving complex engineering problems. This paper provides an analysis of mathematical education in higher educational institutions. The main challenges and factors influencing the development of mathematical thinking are identified. Key mechanisms for addressing these issues are outlined, including optimizing teaching methods, adapting curricula, fostering long-term retention of knowledge, and integrating mathematics with engineering disciplines. Using electrical engineering as an example, the study highlights the intersections between knowledge acquired in mathematical and specialized courses. Based on the analysis, practical recommendations are proposed for educators and institutions to facilitate the integration of mathematical and engineering disciplines. Improving students' mathematical training requires a comprehensive strategy encompassing all aspects of the educational process-from program content to teaching methodologies. Central to this strategy is establishing productive collaboration among key stakeholders: the mathematics department, specialized departments, and employers. Many university professors notice that second-, third-, and fourth-year students, as well as master students, do not fully understand the connection between mathematical disciplines and specialized subjects. They do not have a deep enough understanding of the material being studied, which hinders the successful application of knowledge in solving practical problems and reduces interest in the subject. Despite efforts to reform teaching and introduce new programs, the problem remains relevant, and many students do not learn the material. Although graduates become qualified specialists, they often have gaps in basic knowledge. The study is aimed at analyzing the problems of modern mathematical education in universities, developing recommendations for solving them, and substantiating the importance of good mathematical training for engineering problems, such as electrical engineering or other fields of knowledge. In the process of the presented research, the main provisions of system analysis, generalization of scientific literature on the problem under study by such authors as I.P. Kostenko, K.D. Ushinsky, A.V. Petrova, I.N. Sidorov, M. Montessori and other authors were used. These research results may be useful for faculty members of higher education institutions in terms of preparation, planning and implementation of mathematical and engineering disciplines. A study in the field of higher education in mathematics has identified a number of problems, including a gap between theory and practice, insufficient fundamental preparation of students, ineffective teaching methods, and a low level of motivation to study mathematics. The following measures have been proposed to address these issues: integrating mathematics with specialized disciplines, optimizing curricula, improving teaching methods, and emphasizing content-based thinking. Improving the quality of mathematics education requires a comprehensive approach that includes interaction between teachers, specialized departments, and employers in order to train specialists who not only have mastered mathematical methods, but also understand their practical application.

The possibilities of the literature lesson constructor are presented in detail. As a result, it is proved that the presented didactic tools contribute to the systematization of knowledge on the teaching methodology of the subject, the improvement of practical skills, planning of expected results, the development of creativity and independence in choosing the topic of the lesson, the content of educational material, methods and techniques of work, positively influencing the professional development of future teachers of literature.

modernization of the educational system, development of innovative methodological solutions and implementation of advanced mechanisms for quality education are becoming an important area of public policy. Transformation strategies are a key tool for improving the efficiency of the educational process. In the modern conditions of dynamic development of the educational environment, traditional approaches to assessing the quality of professional education and training of future specialists require radical changes. In the modern paradigm of pedagogical education, the movement towards maximum convergence of educational trajectories with the needs of the labor market is becoming increasingly evident. Qualitative assessment of professional training ceases to be an abstract academic category and is transformed into a practical tool for the strategic development of educational systems of various scales – from the regional to the local level of a specific educational institution. The key stakeholders of universities are the heads of educational systems – from preschool institutions to professional educational organizations and centers of additional education. Transformational strategies for assessing the quality of professional education are a comprehensive approach aimed at increasing the competitiveness of graduates and the effectiveness of educational systems.

the article is devoted to the study of the role of national cuisine in the formation of professional and cultural identity of future specialists in the field of public catering. Based on the analysis of theoretical approaches (including the concepts of gastronomic patriotism by A.V. Pavlovskaya and labor education by A.A. Afroditov) and practical experience of food secondary vocational education (using the Nizhny Novgorod region as an example), mechanisms for integrating traditional culinary practices into the educational process are identified. In the context of globalization, national cuisine plays a key role in preserving cultural identity, especially in the catering sector. Using the example of Nizhny Novgorod cuisine as a synthesis of Volga traditions, its influence on professional development is studied. The program of integration into secondary vocational education includes: studying the historical context, practical mastery of traditional technologies and research work. This approach develops not only professional skills, but also ethnocultural awareness and the ability to adapt heritage to modern times. The study analyzes the relationship between national cuisine and identity using the example of the Nizhny Novgorod gastronomic tradition. National cuisine is considered as an "edible code" of culture, performing three key functions: preserving historical memory, forming professional identity and adapting to modern realities. Particular attention is paid to the role of chefs as translators of cultural heritage and the need to integrate the historical and cultural context into training. Using the example of Nizhny Novgorod cuisine, it is shown how regional traditions reflect the synthesis of the Volga region cultures and can become the basis for fostering national identity in professional education. The program for the formation of national identity in future catering specialists combines traditional and innovative approaches. It includes: an interdisciplinary course on national cuisine, practical classes in a specialized laboratory, partnership with local enterprises and students' research. The emphasis is on labor education through the development of traditional technologies and participation in ethnocultural projects, which develops both professional skills and an awareness of the value of culinary heritage. The study confirms that national cuisine serves as an effective tool for forming the professional and cultural identity of future catering specialists. The example of Nizhny Novgorod cuisine shows how gastronomic traditions reflect historical experience and intercultural interaction.

translation of specialized texts is considered to be one of the most difficult types of translation activity. To perform a high-quality translation, a translator should possess the knowledge of the theory of translation, stylistic features of the text, general and specialized vocabulary etc. In addition, when working with a specialized text, the translator must understand its specifics in order to convey its meaning correctly. Translation of economic texts requires knowledge of the rules and laws regulating economic processes and the main tools used by the specialists to solve various economic tasks and problems. Teaching students to translate specialized texts is not an easy task for a teacher, even if he / she teaches linguistic students and future translators. The given article presents a review of domestic and foreign literature where professional translators and teachers discuss the main conditions and approaches to teaching translation of specialized (economic) texts; focus on some features of economic texts; define the professional competencies of the translator; characterize the specifics and difficulties of teaching specialized translation; offer ways to motivate and encourage students to translate specialized (economic) texts. The article also describes a practical (three-component) model of teaching translation of economic texts to undergraduate students in linguistics. This model was implemented in the educational process by the teachers of the Ural Federal University. The given work highlights all the components of this model, gives the final evaluation of the model, as well as the positive and negative results of its application.

this scientific article presents an in-depth exposition of the content, objectives, tasks, and outcomes of implementing a pedagogical model for preparing future engineers for socio-practical activities within the context of real production processes. The relevance of the study stems from the increasing demands on the level of professional training of technical specialists, the necessity of their adaptation to rapidly changing production environments, and the growing importance of social aspects in the engineering profession. At the current stage of societal and economic development, an engineer is no longer confined to performing solely technical tasks – there is an expectation for a high level of communication competence, the ability to work collaboratively, make informed decisions under uncertainty, and interact with various stakeholders in the production process. All of this necessitates a reconsideration of traditional approaches to engineering education and the search for new, effective pedagogical models. The study involved a comprehensive analysis of modern requirements for engineering activities, including the integration of digital technologies, automation of production processes, the development of the "Industry 4.0" concept, as well as social factors such as environmental responsibility, engineering ethics, sustainable development, and corporate culture. It was determined that successful professional activity for modern engineers is impossible without a developed system of soft skills, which includes critical thinking, communicative flexibility, emotional intelligence, and leadership qualities. Based on the analysis of theoretical sources and practical experience from leading technical universities, a pedagogical model was developed, aimed at gradually forming students' readiness for social and practical adaptation in real production environments. The developed model consists of four key components: target-oriented, content-based, procedural, and result-oriented. The target-oriented component defines the overall strategy for preparing students for professional and social adaptation. The content component encompasses knowledge formation regarding modern technologies, principles of functioning of production systems, and the socio-economic aspects of engineering work. The procedural component is implemented through active teaching methods – project-based learning, industrial internships, case studies, simulation games, and collaborative learning. Special attention is given to organizing interactions between students and mentors from among specialists at production enterprises, which ensures continuity between theoretical education and actual labor activity. The result-oriented component reflects the achieved level of professional competence, social maturity, and readiness for independent production activities.
