  Abstract:

  When studying the theoretical foundations of the transformation of the management system of an educational organization, the management system is understood as scientifically based actions on the part of the administration and the teaching staff of the organization, which are aimed at the rational use of available forces, time and material resources, in order to implement an effective pedagogical process within a specific educational organization. As practice shows, most educational organizations are characterized by a linear-functional organizational structure, as a result of which the management system is not mobile, it does not allow taking into account the peculiarities of the human capital of the teaching staff, weakly forms the interest of each member of the team in the final result. The article considers one of the most effective management tools in conditions when an educational organization faces the task of increasing its efficiency and effectiveness with limited resources – project management. Its implementation in the conditions of digitalization will allow educational organizations to carry out more effective strategic interaction, due to the formation of a network contact. The aim of the study is to improve the management system in a secondary school. To solve the tasks set in the work, the following research methods are used: theoretical methods – analysis and generalization of pedagogical, managerial, methodological and scientific-theoretical literature; normative documents regulating the management of an educational organization; teaching aids on the following aspects: management system, digital transformation of education, management of an educational organization, project management. In the course of our work, we came to the conclusion that the process of managing an educational organization in modern times is prone to a trend that manifests itself in a widespread, global transformation of the management system of an educational organization. One of the features of the management of the educational system is the departure from traditional forms of organizational structure, the restructuring of structures in accordance with the requirements of high efficiency in solving issues, the creation of conditions for participation in decision-making by all members of the workforce. Thus, project management is one of the most effective management tools in conditions when an educational organization faces the task of increasing its efficiency and effectiveness with limited resources.

  Abstract:

  When selecting equivalent and adequate translation solutions in transferring industrial terminology in the Russian & English language pair, attention is normally focused on rendering lexical units that make up the term. Grammatical features of terminological units are established, however, considered a characteristic of the original language, which in the target language can be subject to translation transformations. Nevertheless, grammatical arrangement of terms can be used to codify production technology is overlooked. Accordingly, translation of terminology should reflect selection of adequate equivalents not only in terms of language correspondences, but also account for reflecting the encoded technology by the term. To test this hypothesis we used the continuous sampling method. Terms of Siberian the cosmetic & food industry were selected in Russian texts, their equivalents were identified in parallel English texts, a structural and semantic analysis of the terms in the original language was carried out, translation transformations applied in the translation were established, the degree of adequacy in the transfer of the encoded production technology in the target language was identified. The established results are recommended to be used in practical translation disciplines of the «Translation and Translation Studies» profile, as well as in the development of the Theory of Translation courses.

  Abstract:

  The article discusses methodological recommendations and general principles of conducting classes on basic physical culture at the university using the method of circular training. The authors set a goal: to study the influence of the circular training method on the development of strength abilities of the muscles of the upper shoulder girdle and lower extremities in female students. To achieve the goal, the following methods were used: analysis of educational and methodological literature, pedagogical observation, pedagogical testing. It was assumed that the use of circular training using moderate weights without changing the weight of the projectiles, but increasing the number of series-circles, would lead to an increase in the strength indicators of the subjects. The study took place over three months. During this period of time, 2nd-year students of the Faculty of Economics of the K. A. Timiryazev Academy were undergoing a training program in the discipline basic physical culture according to the system of circular training proposed by us, focused on the development of strength abilities. According to the results of the study, all the subjects were able to significantly increase the number of repetitions in strength tests: push-ups from the prone position and squats with a barbell weighing 35 kg. Thus, we have come to the following conclusions: 1) the use of the circular training method in basic physical education classes is effective for the development of students' strength abilities; 2) circular training with fixed weights is successfully applied not only to develop the quality of endurance, but also the actual strength abilities of the muscles of the shoulder girdle and lower extremities.

  Discussion

  Abstract:

  The purpose of writing this article is due to the decision of the problem of activating the patriotic education of young people, in particular, students of universities, on the basis of spiritual and moral principles and values of the Russian Cossacks, taking into account the participation of public Cossack associations (PCA) in the implementation of state youth policy. In the process of research methods were used: observation, conversation, modern information technology, the study of historical and normative legal documents for the drawing of the Roadmap for the development of the system of continuous Cossack education. Results. The conducted review shows that the social markers that form the basis of Cossack identity are highlighted and, in general, understood by society, associated with patriotism, love for the Motherland and the Orthodox worldview. In the process of Cossack revival the pedagogical and educational potential of Cossack culture was discovered, based on the values of democracy, on the one hand, and on the traditions of statehood, on the other. Although marked by a certain transformation of the Cossack idea in the direction of «militarization», this process does not contradict the basic principles of Cossack education, which became the basis of interaction between universities and OKO in the educational process. Conclusions. The analysis of organizational and pedagogical forms of youth upbringing with participation of modern OKOs shows by the example of the South of Russia (Krasnodar Territory, Rostov Region) that a certain stage of formation in the educational system has already been passed and represents a four-dimensional model, including the younger generation from preschoolers to students. The last stage of the model is in the formation stage, which is characterized by the creation in 2021 of the Association of Cossack universities of Russia and the signing of the Roadmaps for implementing joint, scientific, educational and social activities of universities and public Cossack associations, defining a new round of development of Cossack higher education and patriotic education of the university youth.

  Discussion

  Abstract:

  Introduction. The methodological support of the educational process is considered from the point of view of the didactic construction of the information environment of education using technical pedagogical tools in the implementation of the pedagogical technology "learning through teaching". To increase the complexity of the teaching content, the effectiveness of combining the "learning through teaching" approach with information technologies is considered proven. The most developed idea of such a combination is the introduction of a "pedagogical agent (comrade)", which carries out communication with the subject area and is an analogue of an expert system. From the point of view of designing an information learning environment, we can talk about using technical tools or their analogs as boundary objects. Horizontal interaction of participants with each other in the implementation of the technology "learning through teaching" generates new boundary objects that can be considered as the basis of methodological support of the educational process. The combination of these two approaches is the theoretical basis of part of the research carried out at the Department of Algorithmic Mathematics of SPBSET "LETI". Results. The role and place of teaching materials in the implementation of the technology "learning through teaching" is presented. The changes in the understanding of the content of teaching are confirmed not only in direct active "teaching", but also in the preparation of teaching materials.
