The article looks at the experience of building a media environment at school as a system of self-education and self-development for modern teenagers. The authors present a model of development of teenagers’ creative self-actualization in the media educational environment, the technology of media culture use in the educational environment and an original diagnostic methodology for determination of the degree of development of school students’ creative self-actualization based on assessment of independent work carried out by teenagers (media projects creation) taking into account emotional and semantic visualization of information and the symbolism of associative-semantic connections to evaluate the quality of the conducted work. As a result of the performed experiment, the authors identified personal characteristics shown by school students in the course of their work on media projects and developed a typology of dominant activities that includes four types of individual characteristics observed in school students: analytical, informational, proactive and synthetic types. Based on this typology the authors have determined the relevance and necessity for differentiation of work with teenagers of different ages in various forms of media educational environment and development of their individual educational paths. Correspondingly, a four-stage mechanism of introduction of a teenager into a media educational environment has been suggested providing for the integration of art into the educational environment. The article presents the results of a pilot project that was carried out in state budgetary educational institutions located in Moscow: School no. 1253, School no. 171, School no. 89 and in the children's creative center Trubetskoy Estate in Khamovniki. The article is intended for scientists, teachers, pedagogues and methodological experts who deal with the issues of media education.

Teacher's emotions have been shown to be highly important in the quality and effectiveness of teaching and learning. There is a recognized need to examine the essential role of teacher's emotions in students' academic achievement. However, the influence of teacher's displays of emotions on students' outcomes in small-group interaction activities, especially in the online environment, has received little attention in prior research. The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between teacher's different emotional displays and students' perceptions of the teacher's competence, as well as students' collaborative feelings and productivity in online small-group discussions. Using a three-level between-subjects design, 74 participants were randomly divided into four-member groups comprising a teacher and three other participants. All the groups were asked to discuss an open-ended realistic problem using online software, during which the teacher's display of emotions varied (positive vs. negative vs. neutral). The participants' self-reported questionnaire data (perception of the teacher's competence, students' feeling of pleasure, collaborative satisfaction, and willingness to continue collaborating) and productivity (number of effective ideas expressed within a given time) were measured to compare the participants who were exposed to different emotional displays. As expected, the results showed that the participants who received the teacher's positive emotional display reported that they experienced higher levels of pleasure during the task. However, in contrast to our expectations, those under the negative emotional display condition showed a significantly higher level of productivity in the group task. In addition, compared to emotional display, the participants' perceptions of the teacher's competence were rated significantly higher under the neutral condition, and they reported higher levels of collaborative satisfaction and greater willingness to continue collaborating with their group. The findings have the potential benefit of informing educational practice on whether teachers should display their emotions in a small-group discussion or how they should display emotions following adjustment for the relative aim of the teaching activities.

The article analyzes the possibilities of using the DIKW-model in relation to educational proposals. The analysis brings us back to understanding the concepts of "data", "information", "knowledge" and wisdom, where the goal of teaching is to obtain knowledge, and the learning process itself leads to wisdom. The definitions of these basic concepts are considered, which will prevent their misinterpretation and substitution. It will give an opportunity to develop a model of training, which in the future will form the required specialist. The structure of this model is considered, the connections between its components are highlighted, which are of paramount importance for the development of an effective educational proposal within the framework of innovative education and increase of independent work of the higher education seeker, where the role of the teacher changes. The preparedness for real life, forming the necessary competences and teaching the student as a specialist and personality become one of the primary tasks. First, to move to the concept of "learning", it is necessary to specify the definitions of "information" and "knowledge" to understand in which case the presentation of information on the subject will lead to the formation of knowledge and in which it will remain information. We understand the need to form a future specialist’s "knowledge" and opportunities related to the category of "wisdom" under the introduction of the DIKW methodology in the educational environment. "Knowledge" cannot be replaced by an information flow or a data flow. This is a process of multiple processing of information, data, related knowledge and the copyright of the studied information is not an indicator of effectiveness. The indicator of effectiveness was defining as the ability to make the decision that is most appropriate in a given situation.
