In this article the professional competence of modern educators is considered, which presupposes the possession of an information culture due to the increased requirements imposed by the modernization of the educational system. The analysis of social, pedagogical, psychological, methodical literature has been made, as a result the concept «educator`s information culture» is concretized, the essence and structure of the given concept have been defined. As a result of the theoretical analysis, it was revealed that educators` information culture is one of the conditions of their readiness to become professional in the use of modern innovative educational technologies. This is due to the fact that the opportunities that have arisen with the arrival of technology in the educational process allow a modern educator to make the classes more interesting, not only with the help of finished multimedia products, but also through their own creative innovations. The systematic use of innovative technologies in combination with traditional methods significantly increases educational process effectiveness. It turned out that talking about the concept of educator`s information culture, it is necessary to distinguish three of its different meanings:ability to work with information and software; to use information and communication technologies (ICT) to achieve professionally significant goals;creative approach in the application of computer technologies at various events; non-stop self-improvement;educators` knowledge in the field of didactics and the theory of education.

Modern state policy is aimed at increasing the number of qualified specialists in engineering. It leads to the great demand for mathematical preparation of school leavers. For this purpose, two types of exams were introduced in schools: basic and profile. The basic one is necessary for entering the Humanities University, and the profile exam is required to study at a Technical University. The profile level has 19 different tasks, including 5 tasks on geometry. The aim is to attract applicants with fundamental scientific knowledge required in the process of studying at a university. The profile examination in mathematics is the criterion for enrolling in a technical university. However, it is not an indicator of the mathematical readiness of future engineers to master the educational program. The problems of increasing the mathematical preparation of students of higher professional technical schools are considered. The actuality of increasing the level of mathematical preparation for training in a higher professional technical educational institution is shown. The characteristic features of mastering fundamental natural science knowledge are analyzed. The necessity to increase the requirements to the level of mathematical preparation of future students of technical specialties is revealed and justified. Particular attention is paid to the implementation of federal state educational standards in the average general education: the lesson technique, the quality and quantity of material for the students of the basic and specialized level, the control of knowledge and skills obtained in the lessons of mathematics. Occupations at school should be the initial stage of training for the future student of a higher technical educational institution. The author comes to the conclusion that the implementation of certain recommendations will increase the level of mathematical preparation for training in a higher professional technical educational institution.

The paper investigates the effectiveness of blended learning through analyzing students characteristic, background, learning outcomes. It is aimed at predicting the blended learning effectiveness taking student characteristics as independent variables. Such concepts as e-learning, synchronous and non-synchronous technologies are determined in the paper as important parts of blended learning. Our survey was administrated to gather data on student characteristic/background and learning outcomes. The final evaluation results were used as a measure for performance as an outcome. We applied a learning questionnaire and the results showed the effectiveness of blended learning design (on-line tools, technology quality) and student characteristics (intrinsic motivation, self-regulation and satisfaction).

The article examines examples of effective assignments necessary for teaching of English pseudo-international words translation while studying such disciplines as "Practical course of written translation" and "Practical course of professional translation". The first step in memorizing vocabulary is preliminary data collection based on the topics covered or students’ own knowledge. The second stage is words grouping. The third stage involves the design of words and phrases in a presentation format that will be interesting for the rest of the students doing the task. The fourth stage is connected with sentences writing using the material collected in the third stage, i.e. directly with the expressions translation from Russian into English. At the fifth stage, it is supposed to compile a dictionary of pseudo-international words with incorrect interpretations. Such techniques are effective in memorizing both complex words and homonyms of the English language.

The article deals with the problem of shaping professional communicative competence of cadets at the lessons of the Russian Language and Standard of Speech. On the basis of Perm Institute of the Federal Penal Service of Russia the author offers the program of the course «Communication in professional activity of the penal officers». The course content is considered in three aspects: the invariant, variable and specific. The content of the theoretical part of the course was mainly invariant, because it lays in the communicative knowledge, skills and ways of action which should be taken by any person regardless of the sphere of communication. The variable component of the maintenance is reflected in the use of the wide range of professionally-oriented texts. The specific component is represented by the interactive technologies of training reflecting the specifics of their future profession. The article describes the main educational technology, methods and means of teaching, examples of tasks and exercises.

The article offers a theoretical and empirical justification for the latent process of changes in gender identity. As the object of research, the phenomenon of performative character of gender identity is considered as a property that allows to design and actualize the format of the gender role display in the processes of successful and unsuccessful social interaction. The empirical arguments are gender preferences of adolescents in formal and non-formal interaction practices.

The article actualizes the importance of the development of talented teenager potential for productive relationship with society through the acquisition of a teenager personality tumors ("Actual Self", "Potential Self", "Perspective Self"). It is noted that current gifted adolescents are not fully ready to develop their potential and most of them are aware of the significance of their potential and the implementation of their activities for society. The article examines the role and place of scientific and methodological support in the development of potential of gifted adolescents in creative education, the interaction of actors in the triad "co-creation - collaboration - self-education," forming a representation of the Other in the development of their potential and creating an atmosphere of creativity in creative-reflective environment. The material for this study consists of the test results, completing tasks, monitoring the activities of adolescents, content analysis. The study was confirmed using statistical significance of the G-criterion of signs (by D.B. Owen), correlation analysis and analysis of the author’s experience. The integrative characteristic of personality of a gifted teenager is given. The growth of teenagers’ responsibility in the field of studying and development of their own potential is marked.

Pollution and environmental degradation affect the health and well-being of people. Modern society needs new mentality and the realization of the ideas of sustainable ecological development. The increasing role of the environmental education quality and upbringing of young people is of great importance. The formation and development of students’ environmental competence is also significant as it is a metadisciplinary concept and suggests acquiring common educational activities aimed at mastering the basic educational programs, realizing the internal potential and producing an educational result for solving complex professional problems, increasing efficiency own professional activity and importance for others. The analysis of the regulatory framework is conducted. These documents reflect the priorities and objectives of the state policy in the field of environmental development, education, culture and environmental sustainability. A modified model of the informational-didactic base system of students’ ecological preparation of humanitarian branches is proposed. It represents the subject-oriented interdisciplinary integration of the content of two or more academic disciplines. Integration is an immanently connected process of combining one of the learning elements of the discipline module with a certain element of the information-didactic ecological base. As a result of substantive-methodological integration, interdisciplinary didactic complexes of disciplines were created, linked together for the purpose of continuity, logical study of the material and the formation of students’ ecological competence. The interdisciplinary approach to the organization of the educational process takes into account the principles of continuity, regionality, sustainable development of the environment and society, universality. Practical implementation in the educational process of interdisciplinary didactic complexes of disciplines demonstrates the effectiveness of forming and developing students' meta-subject ecological competence.

The article discusses the content of psycho-pedagogical programme for the prevention of extremist trends of the youth. The growth of extremist crimes, and the urgency of the development of preventive measures among young people are being noted. It formulates the basic idea of the program, the objectives, functions and principles of its realization. It determines four basic components of the programme and the description of working methods. To achieve effective results, the program includes training exercises, role plays, solving cases, items of folk and literary art (proverbs, sayings, poems) and questionnaires. The criteria for the assessment of program effectiveness are being proposed: the decline in the level of social frustration, negativity, aggression and hostility, and the desire for constructive ways of communication. The variability of the methodological material provides broad opportunities for its application in educational institutions with the aim of implementing prevention of extremist trends of the youth.
