The urgency of the problem of improving the
economic education of students is justified, there are
considered features of its resolution in informatics
training in the higher school. The relevance of
research on improving the economic education of
students is due to a number of factors: the need for the
development of small and medium-sized businesses in
Russia; The need to ensure the competitiveness of
graduates; The need to prevent the numerous financial
problems that arise in young people due to their
economic illiteracy, etc. In the global plan, the work to
improve the economic education of students is called
upon to contribute to the formation of a national
philosophy of "self-reliance". In many countries of the
world such work in educational institutions is carried
out both as independent subjects, and within the
framework of existing subjects studied in educational
institutions. It is asserted that the information
education of high school students can and should make
a definite contribution to the realization of each of the
social functions of economic consciousness:
enlightened, developing, educational, organizing,
aesthetic and prognostic. It is substantiated that with
information preparation it is most expedient to form
one of such functions - prognostic. It is worthwhile to
solve this problem based on the methodology of role
information modeling
The article analyses the difficulties brought about by
the introduction into the curricula of many Russian
universities a new educational practice – Academic
Writing in English. The difficulties are grouped into
the following categories: the ones which are rooted in
the old Soviet-Russian lingua - didactic tradition of
teaching foreign languages; the ones which are
connected with a low level of prestige of research
work among students and some of their teachers; the
ones which are specific to a particular educational
establishment, and as the survey reveals, they are
mostly caused by the complicated nature of the
subject Academic Writing. The algorithm of action
suggested for the syllabus design includes the
analysis of objective and subjective difficulties;
analysis of the needs of the target audience; and the
introduction into the teaching process specifically
designed for the course materials. Survey results
prove that following the algorithm has significantly
raised the students’ level of satisfaction with the
difficult course. The measures, aiming to improve the
course, have facilitated the attainment of the course
goal, saving time and effort for students and their
teachers
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
The success of communication in the learning
environment is provided by the organization of
educational process in such a way, when it is most
comfortable for students to demonstrate their
knowledge and for teachers to control this knowledge.
Semiotic approach allows taking into account the
diversity of individual intelligence profiles within a
particular educational system. Such an approach
includes the selection of the content, the organization
of students’ activities and the system of assessment.
The development of cognitive competencies allows
teachers to eliminate the difficulties which can be
caused by the large amount of information, its
comprehension and the ability of students to express
their opinion by means of complex linguistic
structures. The semiotic approach involves the use of
variant and invariant tasks that can ensure the success
of the situation for students with different levels of
training. The assessment technology is based on the
principle of semiotic result. It is realized through the
use of score-rating system, which is applied within the
current, intermediate and final control. This system
enables the students to receive a total positive rating
for a certain period of training. As a result, such a
student avoids taking the exam. It creates a positive
motivation for students to learn foreign languages
without a stressful component of assessment, which
results in a high efficiency of the educational process
The article presents an interdisciplinary approach to
teaching of programming technology within the
discipline "Theory and Programming Technology"
based on the implementation of interdisciplinary
connections with financial mathematics on the
example of the development of financial computing
calculators. The importance of interdisciplinary
connections in pedagogic of higher education
motivates the transition of Federal State Educational
Standards (FSES) of a new generation to a
competence model of graduate preparing. Acquisition
of financial calculation methods with the aid of using
software tools will contribute the formation of
professional competences in the project-technological
activity as the ability to apply the tools and
programming technology in terms of professional
training, providing system analysis and management
problem solving (PC-8). The choice for the
development of instrumental software for methods of
financial calculations will be able not only to
improve claimed in FSES of the higher education
professional competences in the project-technological
activities for solving the problems of system analysis
and management decisions, but to develop teaching
and interdisciplinary communications through
enriching the content of the discipline / module with
knowledge of another discipline
In this article, we consider images of corn plant on the
example of painting, ceramics, postcards, Soviet
propaganda poster, porcelain and post stamps.
We have shown the technology of education process.
The first is the creation of the of illustration images,
the second are the analysis, comparison, interpretation
and searching for new information. The method of
sketches as the basis of education technology is used in
this article. The analysis of corn plants depiction
collected in the library of images, i.e. iconography,
was provided to send the information about the history
and speed of spread of corn plant in Europe and to
select the species peculiarities, the cultivation
technology and using in Russia. In addition, the
anomalies of corn plant, development of their
reflection in painting are noted. The history of genetic
researches of this plant is demonstrated in this work.
On the examples of great artists’ works, we have
reflected species varieties of corn plant, as well as the
phenomenon of xenia; we have also touched the
questions of mobile genetic elements. In this works,
we have pointed the features of cultivation of corn in
Russia, demonstrated the popularization of this cereal.
The main idea of the base images is receiving new
knowledge about an object by means of collecting
images, visual analysis, search for information and
study material. The new approach is obtaining new
knowledge, which is a motivated and fascinating
method of gathering new scientific information
