the article examines the potential of work activities in preschool age as a means of forming a socially responsible personality. Traditionally, work in kindergarten is associated with the development of independence and labor skills, but its educational potential in the context of civic and moral formation of the individual remains insufficiently utilized. This article argues that the systematic inclusion of children in meaningful work activities contributes to the development of empathy, responsibility for the result, respect for common rules, and a sense of belonging to a collective. Based on the adapted model of Hart's levels of participation (from manipulation to self-management), qualitative changes in the child's position are revealed, from a passive performer to a subject of social initiative. It is shown that as preschoolers move to higher levels of involvement (information, counseling, joint decision-making, initiative, and self-management), they develop attitudes towards responsible behavior, civic engagement, and solidarity. Special attention is given to the role of adults as partners and facilitators of children's initiatives. It is emphasized that work in a meaningful social context becomes an effective resource for moral and civic education. The results of this study can be used in the practice of preschool education to develop programs aimed at early formation of socially responsible individuals. The relevance of the study is due to the requirements of regulatory documents for the formation of a socially responsible personality. The foundation of a socially responsible personality begins at an early stage of ontogenesis, and preschool age is a sensitive period for the formation of basic attitudes, value orientations, and behavioral patterns that determine the individual's subsequent civic engagement and social maturity. The potential of work as a factor in social and moral education remains underdeveloped both in theory and in the practice of preschool education. The research methodology is based on the analysis of theoretical provisions and the analysis of empirical data. The following methodological approaches were used in the research: - Personal-value approach (S.A. Amonashvili, V.A. Sukhomlinsky, L.S. Vygotsky, A.N. Leontiev, E.A. Yamburg, etc.) - Participatory approach (E.V. Grosh, I.V. Kasyanova, I.A. Kravchenko, E.Y. Nikitina, O.N. Perova, E.B. Plokhotnyuk, M.V. Smirnova et al.) - A problem-based communicative approach (E.B. Maksimova, V.I. Matetskaya, V.L. Skapkina, A.V. Brushlinsky, I.Ya. Lerner, M.I. Makhmutov, V. Okon, D.A. Pospelov, A.M. Matyushkin et al.) The study was conducted in three stages and included stating, forming and control experiments. The Hart's Ladder model was used for statistical data processing, which allows for a differentiated approach to organizing children's activities and assessing the level of social responsibility, initiative, and civic engagement in children. The study was conducted on the basis of Kindergarten No. 366 in Chelyabinsk (N = 25 children aged 6-7 years). The most important theoretical and practical achievement of the research was the introduction of pedagogical conditions in the logic of participation levels according to the Hart model. This made it possible to transfer work from the form of external control into the space of subject-subject interaction. The gradual transition from informing to joint decision-making and initiative contributed to the internal assimilation of norms of responsible behavior, which is consistent with the concept of moral development of Piaget and L. Kohlberg, as well as with the ideas of humanistic and humane pedagogy. The practical significance lies in the development of specific methodological techniques ("ABC of labor affairs", "Calendar of labor holidays", "Activity Passport"), which can be in demand in educational practice to build an integrated system of education of a socially responsible person from an early age. Discussion and conclusions. Labor activity, organized according to the principles of the "Hart Ladder", becomes a powerful tool for educating not just a performer, but a socially responsible person. Also, work in preschool age should be considered not only as a pedagogical tool for the formation of household independence, but also as a strategically important resource for moral and civic education. Its integration into the educational process based on the principles of subject-subject interaction, reflection and social significance allows children to purposefully form attitudes towards responsible participation in the life of their immediate social environment, laying the foundation for a socially responsible personality.

this article presents an analysis of the LIFE TALK™ method as an innovative tool for developing foreign-language communicative competence in the context of modern educational challenges. The study is based on an approach that combines linguodidactics, cognitive psychology, and sociocultural learning theory. Particular attention is paid to emotional engagement, personalization of learning, and the connection of language material with students' personal experiences. Through empirical observation of 108 students at levels A1 – C1, changes in CEFR (Speaking) criteria, motivation, speech barriers, and confidence were analyzed. The results showed that realistic scenarios (e.g., "At the Doctor's" and "An Argument with a Colleague") used in the method contribute to increased speech activity, the development of soft skills, and increased motivation for learning. LIFE TALK™ demonstrated its greatest effectiveness at the B1 – B2 levels and adaptability to beginner and advanced levels through scaffolding and problem-based content. This article presents comparative data across online and offline formats, analyzes preferred stimuli and topics, and identifies key emotional and motivational mechanisms for language acquisition. Conclusions are drawn about the importance of empathy, self-reflection, and personal engagement in learning as factors in fostering sustainable motivation. This work will be useful for English language teachers, methodologists, curriculum developers, and specialists in emotional and intellectual pedagogy.

this article presents the theoretical and practical foundations of the formation and development of communicative competence of students of an agricultural university. The classification of the forms and methods used for the development of communication skills is reflected, their justification is given. The formation and assessment of communication skills should become an integral part of each lesson at the university. To achieve this goal, a well-thought-out approach is needed, combining classical and modern pedagogical techniques, as well as the development of a system of criterion assessment, which makes it possible to make the process of developing universal educational actions qualitative and effective. There is a problem in agricultural universities: students do not always have a sufficient level of communication skills. Students experience difficulties in communication with both teachers and students, which is directly related to their inability to effectively perceive and transmit information. It is these skills that are the basis for productive intellectual activity, allowing them to effectively operate with various data and, as a result, achieve high academic performance. Lack of communication skills impedes effective interaction between students, which negatively affects the development of their cognitive and regulatory abilities. Communication skills act as a link that ensures the functioning of the entire ACM system, since they provide an accurate understanding and transfer of information between all participants in the educational relationship. The ability to work with various formats of information, which is part of communication skills, directly affects the depth of mastering subject knowledge. A review of research on collaboration in learning shows that group-based learning methodology contributes to the development of universal learning skills, including communicative ones. Students become more interested in the process of obtaining professional knowledge and skills.

the article is devoted to the study of methodological approaches to the organization of pre-professional pedagogical training (PPT) of schoolchildren as a basic element of the system of continuous pedagogical education. The author analyzes current problems in this area, including the lack of unified terminology and regulatory framework, a shortage of qualified personnel, weak continuity with university programs, and insufficient use of digital resources. The work provides a comparative analysis of various scientific positions regarding the essence, goals, and principles of PPT, presented in the works of domestic researchers. Based on systemic and integrative-variative approaches, key methodological guidelines for designing PPT are identified and grouped: those characterizing the developing educational environment, defining the student's position, and setting target performance guidelines. Special attention is paid to the personalized approach, which integrates all these components. It is concluded that the effectiveness of PPT directly depends on solving the problems of developing unified approaches to the design of all its components.

the purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the main problems in organizing and implementing early career self-determination for students in the People's Republic of China. The research methods employed by the author include: an analysis of scientific literature, a comparative analysis of educational systems, and a study of regulatory documents in the field of education in the PRC. The main results show that the early career self-determination system in China is characterized by a number of structural problems, including insufficient integration of career guidance into the educational process, limited family involvement in the career choice process, and a conflict between traditional values and modern labor market demands. The findings of the study point to the need for a systemic reform of approaches to career guidance, taking into account the specific characteristics of the Chinese mentality and the country's economic needs.

this article presents an analysis of psychological and pedagogical approaches to diagnosing children's value attitudes towards music. Special attention is paid to the principles of selecting and developing diagnostic tasks that take into account the structure of value attitudes (emotional-value, cognitive, and activity-based), the age characteristics of children, and current trends in music education. The article provides theoretical foundations and examples of diagnostic tasks developed based on various approaches. The results of the testing are described, and the prospects for using the proposed methods in educational practice are discussed. The formation of a value-based attitude towards music requires a comprehensive diagnostic approach that assesses the child's emotional responsiveness, comprehension, and active engagement. Existing approaches may not fully capture the depth of emotions and creative activity, focusing primarily on evaluating knowledge or mere participation. Therefore, it is crucial to systematize the principles of developing diagnostic tasks that take into account the structural components and age-related characteristics. The aim of this research is to identify and justify psychological and pedagogical approaches aimed at assessing a value-based attitude towards music. The article aims to analyze the components of the relationship, define the principles of task development, present examples of tasks, and discuss the criteria for evaluating them. To assess the value attitude to music in preschoolers, diagnostic tasks have been developed, covering the emotional-value, cognitive and activity components. The assessment was carried out qualitatively and quantitatively, analyzing the answers, drawings and observing the activity of children. The results of the tasks allow to assess the ability of a child to emotional experience of music, understanding its content and active musical manifestation. The results of the approbation confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approaches to the selection and development of diagnostic tasks. A comprehensive approach that covers all components of a value-based attitude towards music allows for a more complete and objective understanding of the level of its development in children. A comprehensive approach that takes into account the structure, age, and psychological and pedagogical principles is important for diagnosing a value-based attitude towards music in children. Tasks that encourage active engagement with music rather than simply testing knowledge are effective. The results of the study will help teachers develop diagnostic tools and individualize music education. The proposed approaches can serve as the basis for creating a diagnostic system for children of different ages, promoting effective music education.

the article explores the potential of the DeepSeek neural network in the context of teaching English as a foreign language, using O. Henry's short story "The Cop and the Anthem". The scientific novelty of the research lies in the targeted application of artificial intelligence in the process of pedagogical lesson design aimed at studying classical literary works of the English-speaking country, developing vocabulary, speaking skills, and reading comprehension. The study verifies the didactic capabilities of artificial intelligence in solving tasks such as adapting literary works, organizing vocabulary work, and modelling post-reading tasks and exercises. The authors examine the content of the generated material in comparison with the original text; identify the strengths and weaknesses of the practical application of the neural network in reconstructing literary works in the English language. The potential of the neural network for systemizing vocabulary and constructing exercises for studying new lexis is considered; the diversity of post-reading tasks modelled by artificial intelligence is analyzed. The experiment allowed making the following conclusions: the practical application of DeepSeek tools for text adaptation requires careful supervision by the teacher; the neural network helps to automatize teacher's routine tasks in creating post-reading assignments. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that the integration of artificial intelligence represents one of the dominant trends in the modern educational system. AI-based digital solutions demonstrate relative effectiveness in creating didactic materials. At the same time educators emphasize the need for a balanced and methodologically correct integration of artificial intelligence into teaching practice. The research material is O. Henry's short story "The Cop and the Anthem." The free DeepSeek neural network was selected as the experimental platform: the AI was asked to create an adapted version of the story while preserving its main plot lines, as well as modelling post-reading tasks and exercises for the generated text aimed at learning new vocabulary, checking reading comprehension, and developing communication skills. The research results can be useful for interacting with the DeepSeek neural network in the context of designing didactic materials in the English language intended for Russian students. The conducted research allows making the conclusion that the DeepSeek neural network is capable of modelling learning materials based on literary works in the English language, but requires additional verification of the adapted text's content and quality control of the proposed tasks and exercises.
