Background and Study Aim. To prevent hypodynamics, to evaluate the volume and level of weekly physical activity of the university's senior students. Material and methods. The study involved students (n = 244) aged 19-20 years (n = 157 - boys, n = 87 - girls). The students studied in the 4th year of the Technical University (Russia). The following parameters were investigated: physical activity (PA), the intensity of metabolic processes and motor skills. The volume of weekly physical activity was determined by a short form of the IPAQ-SF physical activity questionnaire. The level of physical activity intensity was determined by the formula of a metabolic equivalent of task (MET) (min/week). According to MET, students are divided into three groups: 1st group with a high level; 2nd group with average level; 3rd group with low level. The battery of motor tests used to evaluate students' physical preparedness. Results. The total intensive and non-intensive weekly motor activity of boys was 6.2 hours (372 min). This confirms with the standard volume (6 hours) recommended by WHO. The total motor activity of the girls (intense and non-intense) was 4.5 hours (271.6 min) per week. More than a quarter of the surveyed boys had a high level of physical activity. About 62% of students had an average level and 12.7% had a low level. Among all surveyed girls 16.1% have a high level of physical activity, 41.4% had an average level and 42.5% had a low level. The results of boys with a low level of physical activity in all motor tests were lower than the results of boys with high and average levels of physical activity. The exception was the results of the Seated Forward Bend test (p <0.05). In 6 motor tests, the results of girls with a low level of physical activity were worse than the results of female students with a high level of weekly physical activity (p <0.05). There are no significant differences between the test results in girls with low and average levels of weekly physical activity.  Conclusions. After completing the course on the subject "Elective Courses in Physical Culture and Sports", the physical activity of students remains high enough. 12.7% of boys and 42.5% of girls with low levels of physical activity and MET were identified among the surveyed student population. This allows aligning them into a group at risk of developing non-communicable diseases. To reduce the hypodynamics of junior courses students at risk, it should use individually directed pedagogical technologies of physical education. In presenting the theoretical section of the subject "Physical Culture" to the senior courses students it is necessary to strengthen their motivation for independent motor activity.

The theoretical analysis of home and foreign research shows that teacher's ability to set up trusting atmosphere in educational space is the most important factor of professional success and the guarantee of occupational health. The given research is based on the author`s concept that human trust in others is inseparable from self-trust, and the ratio of the level of expression of these two oppositely directed attitudes creates the features of trusting relations between a teacher and his (her) students. The mentioned trusting attitudes are included by the author into the teacher's communicative competence structure. A study of self-trust and trust in others among teachers revealed six different models of expression of trusting relations among teachers a model with high self-trust and trust in others; a model with high level of trust in others and medium self-trust; a model with high level of trust in others and low self-trust; a model with low level of trust in others and high self-trust; a model with low level of trust in others and medium self-trust; a model with low self-trust and low level of trust in others. An analysis of the relationships of trusting relations indicators in each of the identified models was then carried out with such qualities of communicative competence as strategies of behaviour in conflict, communicative tolerance, self-control in communication and empathy. The results showed that each empirical model of trusting relationships inherent to different teachers had different relationships with other indicators of communicative teacher`s competence included in the study. The results of the study enabled to obtain six different models of teacher-student interaction.

The results of the study of hardiness, noetic orientations, coping strategies, self-activation in students at inclusive mixed learning environment are presented. We suggested that students of an inclusive mixed learning environment with a low level of self-activation will have a low scores of hardiness and noetic orientation. They choose non-constructive coping strategies more often comparing to students with high and average levels of self-activation. The study involved 115 students of the distance learning faculty of Moscow State University of Psychology &amp; Education: 58 students without disabilities and 57 students with disabilities. Students completed the COPE Inventory for analysis of the main coping strategies, Hardiness Survey, Self-Activation Questionnaire, and Noetic Orientation Test. It was shown that all scores in students with and without disabilities at different years of study were equally distributed. It was revealed that students with a low level of self-activation were characterized by a decrease in all the characteristics of hardiness, meaning of life, they also often choose non-constructive coping strategies in contrast to students with a high level of self-activation. Students with an average level of self-activation are distinguished by an average level of hardiness, life meaning, they choose both non-constructive and proactive strategies. Dividing our sample according to self-activation levels made it possible to detect and analyze different structures of the relationships between characteristics under study. The results can form the basis for psychological and pedagogical practice dealing with different students groups, regardless of presence or absence of disability, but depending on their self-activation development.

Abstract: The article considers the phenomenon of socio-psychological adaptation of younger schoolchildren to learning at school. In this period, the usual daily routine changes, children are forced to obey the rules of school life, fulfilling the requirements of the teacher. Aim. The purpose of the article is to identify the role of socio-psychological adaptation of first graders to schooling in the formation of their emotional well-being. Materials and methods. 107 first-graders, including 42 boys and 65 girls, aged from 7 to 8 years (average age 7.5 ± 0.5 years) participated in the study. The following psychodiagnostic techniques were used: the technique "Ladder" (V.G. Schur) assesses the level of emotional well-being; “School drawing” methodology, which determines the attitude of a first-grader to school and the level of school anxiety; diagnosis of school anxiety (A.M. Prikhozhan) between children, communication with an adult and a teacher. Mathematical and statistical processing is carried out using Spearman's rank correlation coefficients, cluster analysis, qualitative analysis of research results. The calculations were performed using SPSS Statistics v. 17.0. Results. Three levels of socio-psychological changes were revealed: a high level of adaptation (n = 52) – primary classes with an emotionally favorable attitude to school, an average level of adaptation (n = 35) – students with an emotionally neutral attitude to school, a low level of adaptation (n = 20) – students with an emotionally negative attitude towards school. Conclusion. Younger schoolchildren with different indicators of socio-psychological adaptation differ in terms of emotional well-being. It is proved that with a high level of adaptation, first-graders show an emotionally favorable attitude towards school, with an average level of adaptation – an emotionally neutral attitude towards school, and with a low level of adaptation – an emotionally negative attitude towards school.

The article theoretically substantiates the technology of forming the gifted pupils’ key competences at the specially created educational and developing environment. The author focuses attention on the fact that the result of this technology implementation is the formed key competences of gifted pupils, which include: communication in the state language; main competencies in the field of natural sciences and technologies; informational and digital competence; lifelong learning skill; communication in foreign languages; mathematical competence; initiative and enterprise; cultural awareness and self- expression; environmental awareness and healthy lifestyles; social and civic competencies. The article substantiates all structural components, specifies the criteria, and determines the indicators to the chosen criteria and the levels of formedness of the gifted pupils’ key competences. The results of the questionnaires, tests and surveys gave grounds to state mainly the average and low levels of of formedness of the gifted pupils’ key competences. On the basis of the obtained results, it was designed the technology in a specially created educational and developing environment, and the stages of its implementation were substantiated as those: organizational-diagnostic, procedural-accompanying and reflective-corrective. Some changes took place both in the experimental group EG, where the designed technology was implemented, and in the control group CG, where the educational process was traditional. According to the motivational- value component ‒ at the beginning of the experiment, most of the gifted pupils of the EG and CG had an almost equally low level of value attitude to the formation of key competencies, in particular: the high level was diagnosed at 1.62% (EG) and 1.87% (CG); the average level is 35.92% (EG) and 39.18% (CG); the low level of 62.46% (EG) and 58.95% (CG). The repeated diagnostics showed positive changes in the EG and CG groups, however, the changes were more noticeable in the EG and manifested in the rapid growth of the number of gifted pupils with the high level ‒ 75.08% and the average ‒ 24.92%, as well as an absence of the low level pupils. In the CG, despite the fact that the proportion of gifted pupils with the high level was increased from 1.87% to 5.96% and the average level from 39.18% to 66.04%, the presence of gifted pupils with the low level was still recorded 28%. According to the cognitive-operational component, the percentage of EG gifted pupils who showed the high level of knowledge increased significantly from 0.65% to 78%, while in the CG ‒ from 1.12% to 24.85%, and the number of gifted pupils who was reduced to the low level from 57.28% to 2.91% (EG) and from 61.94% to only 21.05%. According to the evaluation-reflection component, the dynamics of formedness was manifested in the ability to carry out reflexion. Thus, in the EG, the low level decreased from 91.9% to 1.9%, while in the CG it decreased from 89.9% to 41.83%, the high level in the EG increased by 31.1%, which is very noticeable in comparison with СG, where positive changes have only occurred at 11.87%. The experimental implementation of the developed technology indicates the positive results of the gifted pupils’ key competencies formation in a specially created educational and developing environment.
