In this article, we describe the experience of formation
and creating illustrative images for the course called
«Bioethics and questions of bio safety». The
peculiarity of this course is to review bioethical
problems in the context of concrete scientific activities
of the biologist – research, experimental work. The
part of the course issues related to Bio safety, is
revealed as an interdisciplinary area of knowledge
focusing on the identification, study and understanding
of biological practice and biological research
associated with broad philosophical and moral
component. The main blocks have been identified,
which form visual resources: animals in the
experiment, the questions of bioethics in the media; the
metamorphosis of the human body; chimeras in works
of art. In the selection of illustrative images we have
taken into account several aspects: illustration, as an
information resource for the analysis of the studied
phenomenon; illustration, as a form of motivation to
seek information, the answer to the question;
illustration, as an element of ethical education of the
student to different issues of bioethics. For each
semantic unit collected 20-30 illustrative images
within two years. They are used both when reading a
lecture course and as material for independent work of
students. It is shown that the presented visual resources
for the course reflect the basic components of visual
thinking: linear; structural; combinatorial and
functional
The article discusses the contemporary agrobotanical
illustration, as an integral part of scientific and educational
work. For the analysis of the issue, we set up
the basis of illustrative images, which acted as the
test material. It has been shown that visual images
serve as the material for the development of visual
thinking students are taught to read information,
which represents the worksheet, to think and to create
something new. The article considers art of graphics
pencil using a computer-drawing program with processing
in Photoshop. There are mixed techniques
(mixed media), based on the use of traditional drawing
and herbarium specimen, processed in Photoshop
in the color. Another new direction of contemporary
agroillustration is infographics. Its using in educational
and scientific process is determined by the fact
that infographics involves analytical processing of
quantitative data obtained during the experiment. On
the other hand, the data is needed to visualize, execute
and present. A new direction in contemporary
agro-botanical illustration is plant images taken with
X-rays. The modern level of requirements to create
images is high enough and it must be taken into account
when carrying out scientific experiments, when
it is necessary to demonstrate the object of research
results. Modern agroillustration can be processed
using various systems of artificial intelligence, pattern
recognition, for example, the system named
“Edos”
Collectivism is a sense of solidarity with a group,
self-awareness a part of it, the willingness to act in
favor of the group and society. Fostering
collectivism in childhood and adolescence teams
achieved in various ways and means: the
organization of cooperation and mutual aid in
study, work, social work; joint participation of
children and adolescents in cultural and sporting
events; bringing perspectives of the guys in front of
prospects (performance targets) and joint
participation in their implementation; the
revitalization of children's and youth public
organizations. Some of these ways and means may
be combined under one name, socio-cultural
animation. Socio-cultural animation is an effective
teaching method in the education of the younger
generation, its focus on individuality, free
environment , discovery and development of
personal qualities and skills, the formation of
worldview can be traced in pedagogy. The article
discusses the pedagogical aspect of the impact of
socio-cultural animation, organized in conditions of
free communication, encourages meaningful
exchange of cultural wealth, forming esthetic
attitude towards reality, mastering wide range of
special knowledge, expertise and skills. These
activities contribute to the emotional development
of children and adolescents, causing a feeling of
collective empathy, compassion, sharing feelings
of emotional and moral atmosphere and its cocreation
One of the factors for economic stabilization and
growth of the industrial production index is
appearing young high quality trained professionals in
prior areas of modernization and technological
development of the Russian economy. Every year
the state spends huge financial resources to ensure
the budget places for the Russian economy
demanded specialties and departments of
universities. However, as shown by monitoring
carried out at different levels, about 75% of
graduates are not able to integrate into the
production process for various reasons In connection
with the vector of strategies of modern education
reforms should be the creation of prerequisites and
conditions for the effectiveness of the system based
on a comprehensive implementation of innovative
mechanisms of organizational and economic activity
of educational institutions. As well as the reduction
and, in the future, complete elimination of the gap
between the needs of the economy to a qualitatively
trained staff and modern system of vocational
education. This article discusses issues related to the
conditions for the training of qualified personnel for
the regional economy in the current conditions, the
main ways of integration of young highly qualified
specialists in various industry sectors. This is
possible with the implementation mechanisms of
public-private partnerships in education, which
allows combining the interests of universities, large
and medium-sized businesses, and in the future
accession and small businesses. We determined
priority directions and synergistic interaction and the cluster approach to public policy, business and
university towards the restoration of the lost
positions "nurturing" human capacity for the relevant
quality criteria demands of employers, focused not
only on theoretical knowledge but also on practical
experience of the high school graduate
The article explains the model and software of
diagnostic support of the military professional
orientation of young officers formation, including four

THEORETICAL GROUNDS TO FORM PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS IN ECONOMICS AT UNIVERSITY
Among other reasons restraining the renewal of
education, we can mention its evident irreciprocal and
disharmonious character, when instead of gaining the
complete social and cultural experience, students in
fact get only a part of it – its knowledge component.
Nowadays such an approach seems to be insufficient.
Our society needs graduates who are further capable of
making successful careers and taking various socially
meaningful activities. We need citizens who are ready
and able to cope with the challenges that they come
across in their lives and professional spheres. This sort
of ability owes much not only to the bulk of
knowledge and skills one can obtain, but to those extra
qualities and traits to define which we use the terms of
“competence” and “competency”. In some respect,
these terms are more appropriate to comprehend the
modern goals of education. With reference to various
approaches to defining the category of “professional
competence” and to the description of its structure and
contents, as well as on the grounds of the previously
depicted peculiarities of the specialist’s activities, we
have formed the concept of “professional competency
of a specialist in economics”. Under this term we
understand a complex integral entity comprising:
cognitive and activity constituents (implying
knowledge, abilities and skills developed well enough
to perform professional functions in accordance with
the norms and regulations of economic affairs), moral
and ethical constituents, motivational constituent, rich
cultural background, civil maturity and allegiance,
tolerance, skills of professional communication,
competitive ability, and – due to the dynamic character
of economic activities – demand for and ability of
continuous education
The work considers the method of sketches or visual
notes which plays a basic role in the development of
training courses. We have focused on the method of
sketches as "a variety of visual notes, consisting of
handwritten text, drawings, diagrams, figurative
elements". For immersion of the student into the
subject area or object of study, the visualization of the
material is an effective technique of knowledge.
Cognitive function is manifested through the ability to
know the object by the image and the further formation
of ideas about the structure of the material being
studied. It is noted, that visual methods and
techniques are especially effective in the first stage of
researches. Then, there is the collection of material,
knowledge of the research object. Types of pumpkins
were the object of research, presented the works of
artists of different periods. The collection consists of
120 images that were collected in the period from 2012
to 2016. In the work, the attempt is made using the
method of visual notes and visual techniques to build
images of plants pumpkins which displayed in art
works of different centuries and interpreted as "a kind
of door" through which we can enter in our area
(introduction history of culture, archaeogenetic,
developmental biology, the history of selection)
The article elucidates reasons for the falling prestige of
higher technical professional education in Russia and
based on their analysis we propose measures aimed at
raising the status of technical specialists. These
activities include: development of a strategic plan of
development of higher professional education, a
system of vocational guidance of graduates of
secondary educational institutions; improvement of
quality of preparation of scientific-pedagogical staff
and development of effective system of training of
teachers; the quality of the educational process and
development of effective system of training of
graduates; development of objective criteria for
assessing the effectiveness of universities;
development of a system of Patriotic education of
students of secondary and higher educational
institutions; increase of salaries of specialists,
influencing the country's economic development, the
status and prestige of the profession of high school
teacher. It is necessary to develop a strategic plan for
the development of higher professional education
urgently since the first part of young professionals will
be ready only after 4 years. Nevertheless, retraining
and advanced training of specialists of technical and
technological disciplines needed for the development
of modern techniques and technologies, including
foreign ones, we can start today. The implementation
of the considered measures will allow to raise prestige
of higher technical professional education and quality
training of students
The rapid pace of global scientific and technological
progress, which is the main engine of the economy,
demands for higher education, the purpose of which
is to prepare highly educated specialists – the
intellectual potential of Russia. It is known, that
technical and technological skills play an important
role in scientific and technical progress; ultimately,
the economic development of the country and the
welfare of the population depends on it. The
selection by the criterion of professional suitability is
the basis for building a decent contingent of firstyear
students of technical universities. The article
describes the disadvantages of the known and the
new method of selection, by qualifications, based on
the evaluation of the implementation of the students
tests on topics studied disciplines close to
engineering. The article reveals content of the main
stages of pre-University training in secondary
educational institutions. The proposed method of
selection based on professional suitability, and the
system of training of contingent in secondary schools
and colleges, created on the basis of higher
educational institutions, will significantly improve
the quality of training of specialists of technical and
technological directions for universities
An important question is increasing objectivity in
evaluation of current and residual knowledge of
students on the subjects. Based on these assessments,
teachers will adjust the work program and calendarthematic
plan on discipline, forms and methods of
teaching in order to ensure a high level of knowledge,
allowing making necessary competence and skills of
future specialists. The article proposes the evaluation
system of students ' knowledge and determines their
rankings, taking into account the qualifications of the
teachers who taught their classes. Knowledge
assessment might be defined as just one discipline, or
as all the across disciplines for a semester, academic
year and study period. The knowledge of students on
discipline is estimated on the results of the test tasks
based on current estimates obtained in a semester, and
examination grades. We have reviewed the quality
assessment system of students ' knowledge and
determined their rating; it will increase the credibility
of the evaluation. In addition, it increases the
effectiveness of the educational process, since the
evaluation of students ' knowledge and skills of
teachers, will help heads of departments and deans to
make decisions about the professional development of
teachers, showed poor results
