This investigation proposes to apply the methods of training creativity in the natural sciences to teaching a foreign language for specific purposes. This approach is based on the testing of foreign language competencies in different countries, on the task of training higher education specialists, including foreign language training, on the requirements for learning foreign languages, formulated by the European institutions, and on the requirements for specialists in EU. The methods of teaching creativity of specialists in the natural sciences are based on Molyako’s (2008) five strategies of creative design activity. Their practical application demonstrated in teaching physics has been used in teaching English for specific purposes. The analysis of the results of the application of the proposed methods was carried out based on a questionnaire by Popek (2000), which allows differentiating persons with creative aptitudes. The results of the analysis indicate the feasibility of applying the proposed methods for the creative development of personalities following the needs of modern social relations, focused much more on synthesis and interconnection than on the analysis of individual phenomena and processes.

Wider knowledge update is always a big challenge for schools. In the event of changes in the curriculum, a question naturally arises: where teachers and students will get new teaching materials. It is necessary to renew textbooks and other teaching tools and to help teachers learn how to work with new knowledge. Natural science laboratory material base in secondary schools has been renewed by implementation of the project "Infrastructure of technology arts and natural sciences”. However, to achieve the desired result, it is necessary to find out whether there is sufficient infrastructure, whether new equipment conforms to expectations of the teacher, whether teachers are able to learn independently and appropriately use new laboratory equipment and modern tools. All this added together can require a systematic teacher training. The paper presents research connected with the new equipment and teaching tools received by Lithuanian secondary schools under the project "Infrastructure of technology arts and natural sciences” and their potential application in teaching physics. Information gathering and data processing unit Xplorer (GLX), Science Learning Systems (Nova and Spark) with sensors are analyzed. Questionnaire survey results of the teachers having this equipment are presented. Key words: Science learning System, teaching physics, educational equipment, teachers’ opinion.

The first professional standing Seminar “Information Provision of Science: New Technologies” has been held regularly since 1985. It is the platform for the library personnel, information workers and programmers to discuss the questions of development of the modern computer technologies for solution of library-information problems. Collections of materials of all seminars are published in printed form and presented on the website of the Library for Natural Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences (BEN RAS).The article considers the situation in the field of the development of computer technology, existed in the mid-1980-ies that caused the need to organize the Seminar. There are presented the results of the analysis of Seminar proceedings published in 1985—2017, allowing to trace the development of library automation in the country. There is estimated the frequency of usage in the headings of reports of different terms related to this problem, that characterizes the dynamics of changes of its main priorities. Thus, the term ECM was widely used in 1980-ies, since 1991 ceased to be used; the term “electronic library”, which appeared in the proceedings of Seminar in 1999, reached its peak use in the late 2000-s, and then became quite “usual”; now in the titles of reports it appears much less frequently.

The rapid development of innovative technologies is based on the integration of natural sciences. The development of new branches of science such as synergetic, cybernetics, the noosphere, etc. is the result of the integration of the sciences. One of the requirements for the updated educational program, which is introduced in Kazakhstan, is the continuity of disciplines, the definition of interdisciplinary relations in the short term of each lesson and its implementation in the classroom. Since Physics is the fundamental base of natural science, increasing students’ interest in Physics through its interaction with other disciplines will ensure the fulfillment of the requirements of the new program in the field of education. This article proposes the content of a number of lessons used in teaching Physics for effective solution of problems related to the practical creativity of the process of developing students’ cognitive interests.

Modern society is characterized by rapid changes in the vast majority of its spheres of existence. These trends determine the changing requirements for the process of obtaining, transforming, storing, transforming, transmitting information in the process of learning in educational institutions. Education must be advanced. In these conditions, the model of the educational environment requires improvement. The purpose of the article is to create an educational environment. The functionality of the environment should be based on the principles of integration of natural sciences, digital transformation and computer technology. Various methods were used to achieve this goal. We analyzed and synthesized scientific and methodological literature. We have summarized the best pedagogical experience. The ratio of the development of experimental science and science, and accordingly technology and science determines the level of contradiction between theory and experiment, between theory and life, between theory and practice and is a measure of the development of science. We modeled the structure of a synergistically oriented educational environment. The article identifies the necessary conditions for self-organization. We proposed a structure of a synergistically oriented educational environment. We have developed a scheme of an integrated working body as an example of the integration of knowledge from the natural and technical sciences. The content of learning in a synergistically oriented educational environment involves the creation of nonequilibrium, probabilistic problem situations. Their solution requires the involvement of verbal, abstract-logical, figurative-intuitive, emotional-cognitive resources of students. At the same time, they have to look for a meaningful answer to the problem not within a narrowly specialized subject, but in terms of integrating knowledge of a range of natural sciences and, as time demands, digital transformation and computer technology.

Developement of computer technology provides much improvements on electron microscopy, such as simulation of images, reconstruction of images and automatic controll of microscopes (auto-focussing and auto-correction of astigmatism) and design of electron microscope lenses by using a finite element method (FEM). In this investigation, procedures for simulating the optical properties of objective lenses of HREM and the characteristics of the new lens for HREM at 200 kV are described.The process for designing the objective lens is divided into three stages. Stage 1 is the process for estimating the optical properties of the lens. Firstly, calculation by FEM is made for simulating the axial magnetic field distributions Bzc of the lens. Secondly, electron ray trajectory is numerically calculated by using Bzc. And lastly, using Bzc and ray trajectory, spherical and chromatic aberration coefficients Cs and Cc are numerically calculated. Above calculations are repeated by changing the shape of lens until! to find an optimum aberration coefficients.

This study investigated factors that influence public school speech-language pathologists' acceptance and/or resistance to computer technology. Significant differences were found between speech-language pathologists who are frequent users of computers in the workplace and those who seldom or never use them. These differences were attributed to differences in attitudes toward computers, available funding for computers, in-service training, and physical facilities.

Advances in computer technology have created opportunities for the development of a multimedia situational test in which responses are filmed with a webcam. This paper examined the relationship of a so-called webcam test with personality, cognitive ability, job experience, and academic performance. Data were collected among 153 psychology students. In line with our expectations, scores on the webcam test, intended to measure interpersonally oriented leadership, were related to extraversion, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and job experience. Furthermore, the webcam tests significantly predicted students’ learning activities during group meetings over and above a cognitive ability test and a personality questionnaire. Overall, this study demonstrates that webcam tests can be a valid complement to traditional predictors in selection contexts.
