Self-regulating in higher education: a psychological and pedagogical framework

This paper describes the psychological and pedagogical (methodological, motivating, organizational, and content-related) conditions for developing the students’ ability to self-regulate, within the framework applied to the mathematics education designed for students at the technical university. The paper gives the results of the experiment indicating the efficacy of these conditions. Groups of students studying at Tomsk Polytechnic University participated in the educational experiment. Tests, observations, questionnaires, techniques of mathematical statistics were used for assessment. The experiment makes it possible to conclude that the self-regulated learning of students on the basis of the Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment ‘Moodle’ together with the project–related activities, performed by students in the existing production environments, leads to a higher level of the students’ ability to self-management

Thermodeformational Behavior of Cubic Crystals of Sodium Cyanide

In the paper the authors provide results of the study of anisotropic and isotropic acoustic (elastic waves propagation velocities), dimensional (elastic moduli) and nondimensional (Poisson's ratios) elastic characteristics of mono- and polycrystals of sodium cyanide within the temperature range 283.7±473 K

Modeling a Stress Condition of Ore Massif in the Process of Bauxite Deposits Development in the Mines of "Sevuralboksitruda"

The publication examines the problems of concentrator of elevated tension formation in pillars and ore massif. The article presents the results of modeling the stress state of interchamber pillars and ore deposits, using specialized geomechanical software PRESS 3D URAL. In the process of numerical experiments, it was found that the increase of natural flexibility in pillars leads to a decrease of normal stresses in comparison with the variant of a stiff scheme. If interchamber pillar involves different varieties of ores, there is a redistribution of stress on the site with more stiff ores. The article shows that the stress state control of interchamber pillars and ore massif in conditions of OJSC "Sevuralboxitruda" can be achieved by drilling relief holes
