Abstract Contemporary psychologist Didier Anzieu249 speaks of five phases of the process of creation: creative emotion, gaining consciousness, transposition, elaboration, and exposure. Each of the five phases has a correspondent in the stages of development of visual-plastic educational activities, and the role of the teacher is essential in each of them. Starting from the five phases, we propose an approach pattern to the creative process, adapted and developed during the years of experience in pre-university educational environment, and refined throughout the research activity carried out in the university environment.

Introduction. The article reflects the authors’ system for calculating the level and quality of digitalization of the educational process in Russian universities. This task is actualized by a number of circumstances of modern realities. The need to create a digital twin / double for each university has become a trend due to the importance of providing applicants, students and graduates with the most accessible educational environment. The high-quality digital environment of a university during the spread of pandemics is an important condition for maintaining the stability of the educational process. Today, the ability of universities to quickly adapt the digital educational space to the needs of distance learning is a significant sign of the viability and quality of the management staff of higher education institutions. Methods and materials. To develop the system, the authors used a mathematical tool – the method of summary indicators for calculating the level of digitalization of universities, which allows to evaluate various characteristics of the value, efficiency and quality of objects with a significant number of different parameters. Analysis. To develop indicators – basic rating indicators – the authors used the results of a preliminary study of the best practices of digitalization of the university environment of leading foreign and Russian universities. The system takes into account the needs for digitalization of the educational environment of three different categories: applicants, students and graduates. Results. The introduction of the rating into the Russian practice will allow to justify a system of recommendations to university administrations to improve the level and quality of their digitalization of the educational process.

The article is devoted to the study of the developing potential of educational environments and their impact on the formation of personality in the modern educational space. Based on the theoretical and methodological analysis of the types of educational environment, it is concluded that in the structural plan the educational environment of preschool childhood is a system of interconnected components, the main components include object-spatial, socio-psychological, cognitive-active, communicative and subjective components. Based on cluster analysis, four distinctive modern types of educational environment with various capabilities are identified and the author's typology of educational environments in the system of preschool education is proposed, depending on the severity of each component. The tendencies to the conjugation of the quality parameters of the educational environment (according to the ECERS-R scales) and the personal characteristics of children, as well as significant differences in the subjective characteristics and initiative of preschoolers in different learning environments have been identified. The efficiency and feasibility of using the cluster analysis method in the study of the qualitative characteristics of the educational environment and their developing potential is shown. Empirical data were obtained on the basis of 16 preschool educational organizations in the Republic of Tatarstan, on a sample of subjects in 876 people (50 teachers, 413 preschool children and 413 parents (mothers) of preschool children).
