Abstract
The past decade has seen increasing importance in traditional socio-cultural communications. This
has led us to rethink social and cultural reality, and to a qualitative transition in political and social
relations between peoples. In turn there has been a re-examination of the problems of patriotic
education of young people. But this patriotic education is unthinkable without the assimilation of
historical folk traditions. An appeal to the centuries-old traditions of the whole nation – in this
case, the Kazakh – creates a powerful spiritual and patriotic basis which is felt by every individual.
Using ethno-pedagogical and an action-oriented methodology, this research developed methods
and an organization for using the traditions of the human physical development in the Kazakh
folk pedagogy in the patriotic education of student teachers. The authors investigated the nature
and content of patriotism, and the methodological basis of how young people are brought up.
This article discusses the content of the physical development of the patriotic traditions of Kazakh
folk pedagogy and its potential in students’ patriotic education. It identifies and justifies the use of
physical development of traditions of Kazakh folk pedagogy in the patriotic education of student
teachers in the course of their academic and extracurricular activities. These findings allow both for
the patriotic education of the individual as part of a holistic educational process of the university.

Students’ feedback: messages and implications
Abstract
Active learning increases the role of organized and systematic feedback between all the stakeholders
of modern education. Although this factor has been given considerable attention in the literature,
the study of written feedback from students and the subsequent response of the teacher deserves
closer investigation. This research reveals – on the basis of feedback forms analysis – the level of
development of students’ competences of self-regulation, reflection and evaluation. Zimmerman’s
model of self-regulated learning was used as theoretical premises of the paper; qualitative analysis
was employed for data interpretation. The study helped to identify a range of problematic areas in
students’ self-regulatory processes in learning including,
• inconsistencies in the evaluation of performance aspects and the performance in total;
• organisational issues concerning the use of the feedback form;
• underdeveloped reflective skills (difficulty in analysing the educational experience critically and
understanding how to use it in the future performance).
The article discusses ways to address these problems on the part of the teacher. The findings show
the importance of learners’ feedback for the teacher as an indicator of their metacognitive skills
development. Close attention must be paid to students’ responses, their “decoding” and acting upon
them help establish dialogic relations between the participants of the educational process, thus,
increasing the quality of educational experience.
Duolingo e-learning platform as means to intensify foreign language teaching at technical universities
Abstract
The article examines the use of Duolingo foreign languages e-learning platform as a resource to
intensify teaching foreign languages at engineering universities. The reduction of guided training
hours, allocated for the teaching of foreign languages at technical universities, and the uneven level
of students’ language proficiency has created an urgent problem. To solve this problem, we proposed
a program that combined modular learning technology, didactic units consolidation, a point-rating
system, a thesaurus and competence approach. For the compilation of the modular program was
based on the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education of the Third Generation
(FSES) for the program “Civil Engineering” (FSES code: 08.03.01). The competencies, formed within
this modular program are also considered. The research indicated that the average level of foreign
language proficiency in the experimental sample significantly increased, while in the control sample,
the resulting change was within the range of statistical error.
Personality correlates of the regulation of mental States of students
Abstract
Representations of an individual’s mental states are dynamic, and possesses both structure and form.
Building a clear image (mental impressions) of the desired mental state allows you to develop an
effective strategy of self-regulation. The study identified possible mechanisms of control of mental
States through their representation in the mind (mental representation) and the relationship with
personal characteristics of the subjects. Various techniques were used including: the five-factor
personality test McCrae – Costa «Magnificent five», the technique of self-identity (Budassi), and
the «The mental state Relief» questionnaire (Prokhorov). The article explores the mechanisms of
regulation of mental conditions, and personal characteristics which determine the specificity of
mental representations of mental States using various indicators of the States (mental processes,
physiological reactions, feelings and behavior). It identifies the structure of relationships formed by
divergent and coherent relationships, and their organization and connectedness. Diverging signs
form the structure of mental representations of negative mental state. It shows that self-esteem is
a major cause of the formation of mental representations of actual and positive mental States. The
results can be used for developing techniques of regulation and self-regulation of mental States.
Comparative analysis of mathematics teachers’ content knowledge in USA and Russia through the lens of TIMSS results
Abstract
The quantitative study focused on comparative analysis of middle school mathematics teachers’
content knowledge in two countries. The sample consisted of lower secondary mathematics teachers
from the US (grades 6-9, N=102) and Russia (grades 5-9, N=97). The instrument was designed
to assess teacher content knowledge based on the cognitive domains of knowing, applying, and
reasoning, as well as addressing the lower secondary mathematics topics of Number, Algebra,
Geometry, Data and Chance. The results suggest that there are significant differences in teacher
knowledge between the countries in content as well as in cognitive domains. The study results may
inform the field on priorities placed on lower secondary mathematics teachers’ knowledge in USA
and Russia.
The challenge of Dissernet
Abstract:
In March 2016 the E&SD editorial team started a project to secure inclusion in the
Scopus and WoS databases for Education & Self Development. This has developed into a
programme which also intends to turn the Journal into an international publication for
researchers worldwide wanting to access Russian educational research, and for Russian
scholars wanting an accessible window on educational research in other countries
(Rushby, 2016). Part of this project was to ensure that the Journal conformed to the highest
editorial ethical standards and this meant that we were at least partially prepared for the
impact of the Dissernet report which identified that a number of articles published in the
Journal showed evidence of plagiarism and raised questions of editorial malpractice.
Although these problems occurred before the start of the transformation process, it
became clear that urgent action was needed to repair the reputation of the Journal and
ensure that processes were in place to ensure that such malpractice could not take place
in the future. This editorial describes the action plan, developed by the Editorial Team to
address the problem.

The role of musical-aesthetic education in personality development preschool
Existing research on the personal development of pre-school children is limited in the scope of investigation. It lacks an integrative approach in respect of the complex impact of arts such as music, painting and other such work. This article examines a pilot programme directed towards the early musical and aesthetical development of pre-school children. This programme gradually introduces more complex content. Previous research has established that when children aged 3-4 years received music and aesthetical education in specialised centres, then by age 6-7 they surpassed the personal development of those who had received a standard schooling. In particular it was found that they acquired an ‘ear’ for musical development – a skill in distinguishing rhythmic and melodic contrast, together with harmonic sequences more delicately. This was associated with an ability to distinguish the emotional states of others. They were better in the embodiment of emotional states, experienced an immersion into the depth of images, and had better imagination and emotional intelligence in music. This research was extended to typical schools with typical children to explore the effective development of personality in pre-school children. The research was carried out over a three-year period, following children from age 3-4 until they were 6-7 years old. Twenty five children in the experimental group were compared with an equal number in the control group. The children were tested at the start and again at the end of the period. The results showed variations in the development of personal development. In particular, some skills, such as the ability to perceive rhythmic and melodic pictures and harmonic sequence, developed more slowly than others. It was found that the rhythmic and melodic forms of the musical ear developed more quickly that the harmonic ear, which is developed later – and more slowly. The development within the experimental group was not particularly rapid when compared with the control group but was more productive.
The subjects in the experimental group showed more effective development of generic perceptual unity and understand of human emotional state. Similar results were obtained in the formation of emotional displays in the cast plot scenes. Children learned not only to identify and to depict the emotional state of the character with the help of an adult but also showed the ability to empathize to another one, and to express their emotions objectively using a large set of facial expressive means of communication. In verbal imagination the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group. In particular, the children demonstrated the ability to express the plot of the story, using uniqueness and originality. The results concerning the expression of the emotional character of a story and the dominating mood were mixed. The expression of emotion was significantly developed but the perception and expression of a landscape did not show a significant improvement. Overall, the results that early musical and aesthetic development has a positive effect on the personal sphere of preschool children. This is based on the musical ear as the ability to make delicate distinctions and of aural representations that affect other mental functions of children.
Social and professional values of Russian teachers having various pedagogical experience
Within the context of transformations in society and the challenges of new development, teachers
experience changes in their perception of education values. The aim of the research reported here
was to identify key perceptions of teachers in the Republic of Tatarstan (Russia) in respect of social
and professional values, at various levels of teaching experience. The research used axiological and
competence-based approaches as a firm basis for reaching agreement on teachers’ specific values.
This paper discusses the results from a comparative analysis of Russian teachers with up to 5 years,
6-20 years and more than 20 years teaching experience. The analysis makes it possible to define
some directions for the training and retraining of highly qualified teachers to help them understand
the importance of these qualities and values.
The model of a future teacher’s risk-recognizing competency formation in the process of preparation for innovative educational activities
The next generation of teachers will need to engage in innovative activities that carry risk! There is insufficient development of the theoretical, methodological and procedural aspects of secondary school teacher education, so that they are ready to innovate. The research reported here led to a model for developing the competence of student teachers to recognise risk when preparing for educational innovation. The model combines cognitive with practical activities, using interrelated targets, procedures and effective components. Simulation was used to help students to make and take responsibility for innovation. The article identifies the characteristics of the model and justifies the conceptual provisions. The aim is to improve the efficiency of processes for developing risk awareness in teacher education, and help them apply their knowledge, skills and experience to prevent and reduce risk in educational innovation.
Becoming a teacher in the United Kingdom in the 21st century
In this article I seek to explore how teacher education policy has been shaped and influenced by
political interventions. The main focus is on the UK, but I argue that this approach to teacher
education as a ‘policy problem’ is part of a wider global phenomenon. Part of this discussion
necessarily needs to differentiate between what has been happening in different parts of the UK,
for in spite of the globalising influences, there appears to have been some divergence between the
trajectories of the four jurisdictions in relation to developments in teacher education. In drawing
on recent developments in ‘clinical practice’ within teacher education, I draw attention to the
importance of a research oriented approach to teacher education.
Why become a teacher? Considerations on the initial study phase in teacher training
This article focuses on the transition from pupil to student. This transitional phase involves the
challenge of having to take a decision regarding a career path. For some pupils, this represents
perhaps their first major decision they are confronted with since the early school years: What do I
want to be? What kind of career suits me? This transition involves more than just a career choice; as
part of the transition, a number of biographical issues are activated, which are all aimed at one’s life
plans as a whole: ‘How do I want to live or what is important to me in life?’ As such, the individual is
also confronted with the question of what still ‘fits’ with his or her previous orientation, experiences
and perspectives, in the light of new plans for the future or experiences in the course of the transition.
This involves questions and biographical issues, which relate to growing up in general. Very few are
able to easily escape such biographical challenges and tensions. However, the responses or forms of
dealing with these issues can vary.
Vocational Teacher Training in Germany
The international developments of globalization and demographic changes of an aging society have
led to new concepts of teacher education since the beginning of the 21st century. Currently, the
debate pertaining vocational teacher training focuses on two issues: 1) Firstly, reform is necessary
because of structural and curricular changes, further professionalization and quality development
of vocational teacher training as part of the measures imposed by the Bologna. 2) Secondly, given
the scope of a profound socio-demographic transformation process, the focus of attention is shifting
onto the acute needs for teachers in scarce subjects of personal care services as well as MINT
professions within the professional vocational disciplines of teacher training. The following article
outlines key reforms and developments in vocational teacher education in Germany and Europe
on the following points: 1) Structures and university centers of teacher education in Germany
2) Curriculum development and didactic approaches in teacher training 3) Requirements on
competencies and professionalization in teacher training.
Attitudes towards inclusion by Slovenian teachers in the context of findings from other countries
The inclusion of children with special needs into the mainstream regular elementary school classes
brings a professional challenge to teachers. A review of articles on teachers’ attitudes towards
inclusion published during last three decades was conducted. The review of research findings
indicates that effective implementation of inclusion depends on the teacher’s attitude to inclusion,
which is found to be linked to the teacher’s gender, years of work experience in teaching children
with special needs, qualification of teachers, and the type of special need. A survey was conducted
in 2013 on a representative sample of Slovenian elementary school teachers who teach in 7th, 8th
or 9th class and have in their class at least one student with special needs. The findings indicate that
teachers have a neutral attitude to inclusion. Teachers believe that they are insufficiently qualifie in
teaching children with special needs, and that they need more training in this particular area. They
are most in favor of inclusion of children with deficiencies in certain areas of learning, children
with chronic disease, and children with speech and language disorders. They disfavor the inclusion
of children with mental development disorders. They hold a neutral attitude to the use of ICT in
inclusive education, and that the use of ICT contributes more to a child’s cognitive, than social
development. They believed that they do not have sufficient competences in ICT supported learning
and assistive technologies. The findings of a survey of Slovenian teachers have shown neither a
link between a teacher’s attitude to inclusion and the teacher’s gender, years of work experience,
experience in teaching children with special needs, nor the teacher’s opinion of his/her own teaching
competences for inclusion. The findings are discussed in light of related studies in other countries.

Pedagogical speech studies in professional training of students: technology, methods, means of practice-based learning
The article is concerned with the problem of use of Speech Studies in the process of professional training of students. The relevance of the chosen topic is determined by the fact that the extent of prior research in the context of a practice-oriented professional training of future teachers is not fully devel-oped. The purpose of the study is to identify and classify the major components of Speech Studies on the basis of the functional analysis of knowledge-resource potential of multifunctional professional activity of a teacher. These major components can be regarded as characteristic values of renewal of professional content and process aspect of teaching. The main technologies of the research are: the technology of professional and pedagogical Speech Studies, the technology of acquiring the types of speech activity with the proper speech making rules, the technology of use of multilevel and multidirectional Speech Studies components that contribute to the implementation of spiritual and moral consolidating potential of humanitarian disciplines in educational institutions.
In addition, we used the technology of aspect-integrated learning; self-motivation, technologies of personality-oriented communication, etc. The article reflects the results of this work, during which stu-dents acquired necessary and sufficient competences, which can be considered as indicators of mastery of professional communicative competence in general. The article can be useful for practical professional activity of teachers of higher educational establishments and secondary school teachers.
Integration of pedagogical and classical philological education in preparing future teachers of philology
Integration of classical university and teacher training in the Kazan Federal University is carried out in the framework of the Strategic Academic Unit (SAE) “The teacher of the XXI century”. It is implemented under conditions of modern higher education in the context of perspective directions and key points in resolving the problem of teacher training for the modern school. Integration of classical university and teacher training in Kazan Federal University while training philologists allows, on the one hand, strengthening the fundamental nature of the subject training for future teachers of Russian, Tatar, foreign languages, literature, and, on the other hand, strengthening the pedagogical orientation of training philologists. Teacher training is an important component of any educational policy of the state and has a high degree of flexibility and availability. The purpose of the article is to show the positive aspects of the integration of teaching and classical university training in terms of joint activities of two Kazan Federal University institutions – that of Philology and Intercultural Communication and that of Psychology and Education; identify opportunities to improve teacher training at the university. The main method is descriptive. Projective research technique is applied as well. We came to the conclusion that there are several variants for training future teachers, which satisfy the Professional teacher standard and new federal state educational standard for secondary school. The first variant is a more advanced teacher training version. It implies taking a magistracy course on the direction “Teacher education”.
“Philological Education” is implemented in cooperation with the Institute of Psychology and Educa-tion. This educational route allows combining harmoniously practical professional orientation and fun-damental scientific basis while training teachers. The second variant is providing a bachelor with teacher training opportunities along with basic education for two. This will ensure that graduates can get a serious psycho-pedagogical and methodological preparation for a future profession. We believe that the integra-tion of classical university and teacher training in Kazan Federal University in the teacher training con-tributes to the following: Firstly, it optimizes the period of teacher training; secondly, it improves the teacher training quality in accordance with the requirements of national education modernization; Thirdly, it improves the professional teacher competence in accordance with the requirements of national education modernization. Fourthly, it improves the education quality in regional educational institutions. Fifthly, it increases the graduates’ competitiveness. Our study is of interest to all those involved in the problems of training and re-training future teachers.
Forming general cultural competences of future teachers when implementing an innovative model of teacher education
The relevance of the problem under investigation is due to the transition of universities to the GEF HPE, thus expanding the academic freedom of educational institutions and carrying out training on the basis of innovative educational programs (on the objectives, content, organizational forms and technologies).
In order to improve the quality of university graduates, the new model of teacher – the teacher of the XXI century, teaches, mobilizes, creates and is able to use the most modern educational technology. Kazan (Volga) Federal University joined in the development of CAE design as well as development and implementation of professional standards based on European and national qualifications frameworks. Conceptual model of the nucleus of a new type of teacher involves competence approach to the expected results of higher education and qualification orientation according to the requirements of different groups of consumers (people, the employer, the state, society). The model is based on the principle of variability, modularity, mobility, unity, continuity, adaptability and includes different trajectories of teacher training: variative trajectory, distributed trajectory, training bachelors of subject training, retraining of teachers to other disciplines, the center of training and retraining of educators, teaching internship, pedagogical magistracy. Formation of general cultural competences in this model should be a priority, as their importance in the process of becoming a new type of teacher is related to the fact that it is the general cultural competence that creates the harmony of the inner world and the relationship with society and can be considered as the basis for the formation of professional competence of future teachers. Analysis of the GEF HPE, theory and practice of bachelors training, revealed that the formation of general cultural competence of future teachers is provided, but a large set of competencies makes it difficult to identify the competence framework as provided by the European education system. The most important task for the system of higher education in the field of training of teachers of the new formation is the need to determine the theoretical and methodological foundations for the formation of general cultural competence of bachelors in the modernization of pedagogical education.
B
eing one of the most important areas of public knowledge, morality nevertheless has not become an educational field at any school or university. The pedagogical community is increasingly aware of the fact that the goals, values and purports, which are now set in modern knowledge-centrist and even competence model of modern higher education, are far from ideal and do not meet the prognostic expectations, which would correspond to the real challenges of the contemporary socio-cultural situation in the world and in the Russian society.
The crisis has aggravated, identified, highlighted and allowed us to formulate accurately and pre-cisely not imaginary and farfetched problems, but real and urgent ones, as well as the identification of priorities to address these problems. The professors of Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University see the solution of these issues in the development of the model of the XXI century teacher.
