Important research problems concern the development of a new model of educational process management, which includes the formation of a person as not only a workforce, but also personality. The purpose of the article is to study the relevance of the implementation of socio-emotional competences in the modern educational environment for the formation of the demanded skills of the labor market, which is constantly changing. The research presents the main claimed types of abilities of a modern person, including a system of cognitive, social-emotional and technical skills, and emphasizes the growing importance of social and emotional skills. The five competencies of social and emotional learning are highlighted: self-awareness, self-governance, social awareness, interpersonal skills and responsible decision-making. According to a study by the World Bank and the report of the World Economic Forum «The Future of Workplaces», the skills that are in greatest demand today in society are grounded: analytical thinking and innovation, complex problem solving, critical thinking and analysis, active learning.

Historical Nature

This article discusses the methodological system of studying paremias in Russian language lessons. Linguistic and cultural analysis of paremia allows us to identify the existing value-significant representations of an ethnic group based on accumulated information of a cultural and historical nature, first of all, about a person in the aggregate of certain properties, qualities, activities, and his attitude to the world. Paremias are aphorisms of folk origin, characterized by conciseness of form, reproducibility of meaning and having, as a rule, an edifying meaning. Paremia is a unique object for the study of language and culture, the purpose of which is to study cultural layers in the structure of the meaning of language units. Paremia is capable not only of expressing a conclusion, but also of forming generalized ideas about the laws of life. Since paremias are part of the national language picture of the world, and therefore part of the national language mentality, in this case, in our opinion, it is also possible to talk about the existence of a proverbial mentality, that is, the mentality of the nation, reflected in the paremiological Fund. When studying the discipline “Russian language”, students have the opportunity to master the skills of linguistic and cultural analysis of language units, get acquainted with different types of exercises and tasks, prepare to apply the acquired skills and implement the skills in regular, extracurricular and extracurricular activities.

This chapter outlines the current situation about homeschooling across the world today. It highlights its enormous growth over the last 40 or 50 years, since its reintroduction in the USA and the impact that has had on the world homeschooling movement. It describes the contested outcomes of home education, including the evidence that students' academic, social, and emotional outcomes are higher while also providing a solid basis for ‘graduates' of home education to experience success in adulthood. Theorizing the roots of this success, the chapter looks at the measures of success and the theoretical bases of the success of the mainstream schooled and explores how the features that make a successful graduate of mainstream schools are naturally and almost exclusively present in the home education setting, Finally, it considers how the current turn against home education and suggests how future research might be useful to counter these negative discourses about the practice while understanding this growing cohort of children across the world today.

The Muslim market, which has been treated as a minor niche market until recently, has grown to a sizeable scale and is becoming one of the fastest growing markets in the world, with an annual Muslim population growth of 2.9 percent and resulting increasing purchasing power. Considering the significance of a new emerging Muslim market, the purpose of this study is to explore the impact of the growing Muslim identity on Islamic consumerism and its future. Focusing on Muslim youth, the study will delve into the Islamic religious attitudes toward global consumerism, the current situation of the Muslim market influenced by the intensification of Muslim identity and its future trend, as well as various case studies related to Muslim identity and its impact on recent consumption patterns. The result of the study would suggest a new direction for Korea in establishing a successful future marketing strategy in the Muslim market.

Huge Variation

Breastfeeding has many benefits to both mother and infant and the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of life. Correct positioning of the baby at the breast and social and emotional support for the mother are among other factors that are important to successful breastfeeding. The ‘Baby Friendly’ initiative sets out ten steps to successful breastfeeding and encourages maternity hospitals to implement these and become accredited. The WHO ‘International Code of Marketing of Breast Milk Substitutes’ gives clear guidance on acceptable practices to formula manufacturers so that breastfeeding is not undermined. ‘Tongue tie’ has increasingly become regarded as a cause of maternal pain and difficulty latching on during breastfeeds. However, estimates of prevalence show huge variation and there is no agreed standard method of assessment. In addition, the risks of frenotomy need to be balanced against any possible benefit.

Emotional Education

According to statistics and the experience of teachers, there has been a recent increase in the number of pupils in schools who have difficulties with integration, behavior and learning and are prone to deviance. However, dance excess energies, relieves tension, strengthens the body, increases endurance, gives room for self-expression, develops personality and has many other positive effects. For teenagers looking for a place for themselves and their place in the world, a dance group is a great place for them to experience a sense of acceptance while also being a reference point for their peers. Proof of all this is the work of Pierre Dulaine, a French-born dancer and excellent dance teacher (also known by the film Leading the Rhythm). For him, the development of dancing skills takes precedence over developing students' social skills and their emotional education.

Historically museums emerged in the West and were subsequently taken up by people in other regions of the world, including the Far East, where the museum was adopted with alacrity by Japanese and Chinese intellectuals. This article explores how China and Japan imagined museums when they first encountered them in the West. It sketches how intellectuals in these two nations began to conduct ‘musealization’, and suggests that the museum in China and Japan was a product of appropriation of Western formats that was, however, deeply influenced by traditional attitudes to cultural preservation and display.

The Way

Music's uses and contexts are so many and so various that the task of cataloguing its functions is daunting: how can we make sense of this diversity? These functions appear to range from the individual (music can affect the way we feel and the way we manage our lives) to the social (it can facilitate the coordination of large numbers of people and help to forge a sense of group identity). This article argues that musical behaviour covers a vast middle ground in which relationships between self and other or between the individual and the collective are played out. It surveys some of the extant literature on music's functions – referring to literature from ethnomusicology, anthropology, musicology, psychology, and sociology, and discussing a wide variety of musical contexts from around the world – and develops an argument emphasizing music's role in the management of relationships between self and other.
