Formation of future teachers' civil responsibility in the contemporary society

The changes taking place in the country determine the necessity to form civil responsibility of both personal and professional attitude of a teacher, responsibility for development and formation of the rule-of-law civil society in the country. Analysis of scientific and pedagogical literature and pedagogical practice of formation of future teachers' civil responsibility carried out during the research allowed us to identify and generalize such main contradictions in the formation of future teachers' civil responsibility as: contradictions between the significant role of civil responsibility in the process of formation of a future citizen and the insufficient level of practical readiness of higher educational institutions' graduates on pedagogy for the activity on its formation; contradictions between the necessity to study and to generalize the advanced experience, development of active forms, methods, and tools of civil responsibility formation based on new information technologies and dominance of conservative (reproductive, verbal) methods of learning and parenting at higher professional pedagogical educational institutions

Esthetic education of children with special needs by means of computer art

© Author(s).Thematic justification of the problem under study: growth of social stratification in the present context of social and economic transformations and emerging forms of social inequality, which is creating serious obstacles for the younger generation's social adaptation, specifically among those social groups that are dealing with difficulties due to specific circumstances. First of all, it concerns children with special needs. Specifically, processes of modern public reform and how they often lead to the violation of social integration and adaptation for this group of children. Such a process poses a problem of an independent living arrangement, juxtaposed with the background of low efficiency of realization of educational and habilitation technologies. It has been observed that educational institutions have not yet been able to fully counteract these negative factors. Growth of the number of children with special needs, on the one hand, and humanization of public life, wide circulation of ideas, increases the importance of social and rehabilitation activity. The purpose is to enhance the social and educational training and increase maximum achievable adaptation of life, granted to children with special needs, a chance to develop skills for social orientation, ethics and cultural social attitude. This data and analysis of such is relevant to the esthetic education of children with special needs as conditions of formation of a socially valuable personality

Differentiated tasks system in math as a tool to develop university students’ learning motivation

© 2015 by iSER, International Society of Educational Research. The relevance of the study is due to the direction of the modern education model on the formation of a competitive creative personality, with the need for continuous self-improvement and self-development. It should be emphasized that the effectiveness of training students is largely determined by the level of motivation, interest, and the subjects’ personal involvement. Therefore, the article is aimed at the disclosure of the mechanisms of development of learning motivation of students through the system of differentiated tasks. The leading approach to the study of the problem was the personal-active approach, which aims to reveal the discussed question from the perspective of dialogism, subjectivity and individuality. The article presents the characteristics of the developed and proven system of differentiated tasks in mathematics, focused on the development of learning motivation of students, as well as providing empirical evidence about the results of implementation. The article describes the principles on which we identified three levels of tasks in mathematics: “algorithms”, “problem-search tasks”, and “creative tasks”. The article may be useful to teachers of higher education
