The article substantiates the relevance of the historical and culturological analysis of feature films in practical classes of the university course «Culturology» for technical specialties. Theoretical substantiations of the use of cinematography as an audiovisual source in the study of culture, as well as methodological developments of teachers of Russian universities are given. The novelty of the methodology developed by the author is shown. The description of the organization of classes, including the criteria for the selection of films, is given. Examples of practical tasks are given to consolidate the theoretical material of the university course in cultural studies in the sections of the Thematic plan – «Morphology of culture», «Culture, society, personality», «Dynamics of culture», «Socio-cultural worlds», «Culture and peoples» and topics, including: historical and spatial typology of culture; value motivations and cultural conflict; functional sign; consumer society and conspicuous consumption, «man of the mass»; elite and mass, elite and popular culture; the level of mass art and the formula model; historical and typological features of Russian culture. Examples of expected responses and results obtained are provided. The results of the five-year experience of using feature films in practice in cultural studies at a technical university are summed up: the majority of students are most successful in analyzing films of the middle level of mass art (mid-culture). The practical tasks developed by the author enable students to get acquainted with the masterpieces of Russian cinema, to some extent penetrate into the essence of the culture they represent, and also test their understanding of cultural theory. The teacher evaluates the student's ability to apply culturological theory to solve practical problems according to the level of the assignment.

География это мировоззренческая наука. Сложившаяся за десятилетия структура курса обучения географии в российской средней школе знакома каждому из нас и состоит из четырёх этапов. В университете система обучения будущих учителей географии состоит из тех же самых этапов, однако, это не просто углублённое повторение школьной программы, это совершенно новый, более высокий уровень географического образования. Как на школьном, так и на университетском уровнях изменения происходят в масштабе тем и разделов отдельных этапов, но этапы остаются неизменными. Межэтапный уровень является предельным, его осознание не попадает в область рефлексии педагогов и методистов. Отсутствуют и научные труды по его анализу. В качестве метода исследования выступает диалектика, законы которой срабатывают в виде мировоззренческих формул. В школьном географическом образовании проблема формирования восприятия не проявляется чётко и поэтому не осознаётся. Проблемы начинают проявляться на межэтапном уровне. Мировоззренческая формула дихотомии перестала работать в виде противопоставления отраслевая география районная география, взаимодействие в этой бинарной оппозиции строилось по принципу отраслевой анализ региональный синтез. В разделах районной географии исчезли механизмы (энергопроизводственные циклы) и формы синтеза (природнотерриториальные и территориальнопроизводственные комплексы). Произошла утрата целесообразности изучения районной географии. Новых форм синтеза в постсоветское время на вооружение российской школьной и университетской географией принято не было. В университетском курсе, который был направлен на осознание диалектических знаний школьного курса и развитие их, невозможно провести рефлексию, так как основы географических знаний у абитуриентов бесформенные. Владение мировоззренческими формулами это вопрос отражения географической реальности. В переходе с уровня на уровень возрастает самостоятельность географического мышления и удаление от стереотипов, возрастает эвристический потенциал за счёт сочетания формул, которое даёт вариативность отражения географической реальности. Geography is a worldview science. The structure of the geography course in the Russian secondary school, which has developed over the decades, is familiar to each of us and consists of four stages. At the University, the system of teaching future teachers of geography consists of the same stages, however, it is not just an indepth repetition of the school curriculum, it is a completely new, higher level of geographical education. At both the school and University levels, changes occur in the scale of topics and sections of individual stages, but the stages remain the same. The interstage level is the limit, its awareness does not fall into the field of reflection of teachers and methodologists. There are no scientific papers on its analysis. The method of research is dialectics, the laws of which work in the form of worldview formulas. In school geographic education, the problem of perception formation is not clearly manifested and therefore is not realized. Problems begin to emerge at the interstage level. The worldview formula of dichotomy ceased to work in the form of the opposition sectoral geography regional geography, the interaction in this binary opposition was based on the principle of sectoral analysis regional synthesis. Mechanisms (energy production cycles) and forms of synthesis (naturalterritorial and territorialproduction complexes) have disappeared in the sections of the district geography. There was a loss of expediency of studying of regional geography. New forms of synthesis in the postSoviet period were not adopted by the Russian school and University geography. In the University course, which was aimed at understanding the dialectical knowledge of the school course and their development, it is impossible to reflect, as the basis of geographical knowledge of students formless. The possession of ideological formulas is the question of geographic reality. In the transition from level to level increases the independence of geographical thinking and the distance from stereotypes, heuristic potential increases due to the combination of formulas, which gives variability of reflection of geographical reality.

Due to the important advantages it offers, gamification is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, and interest from the market and from users continues to grow. This has led to the development of more and more applications aimed at different fields, and in particular the education sector. Choosing the most suitable application is increasingly difficult, and so to solve this problem, our study designed a model which is an innovative combination of fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) with the Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation Technique (MACBETH) and Shannon entropy theory, to choose the most suitable gamification application for the Industrial Manufacturing and Organisation Systems course in the degree programmes for Electrical Engineering and Industrial and Automatic Electronics at the Higher Technical School of Industrial Engineering of Ciudad Real, part of the University of Castilla-La Mancha. There is no precedent in the literature that combines MACBETH and fuzzy Shannon entropy to simultaneously consider the subjective and objective weights of criteria to achieve a more accurate model. The objective weights computed from fuzzy Shannon entropy were compared with those calculated from De Luca and Termini entropy and exponential entropy. The validity of the proposed method is tested through the Preference Ranking Organisation METHod for Enrichment of Evaluations (PROMETHEE) II, ELimination and Choice Expressing REality (ELECTRE) III, and fuzzy VIKOR method (VIsekriterijumska optimizacija i KOmpromisno Resenje). The results show that Quizizz is the best option for this course, and it was used in two academic years. There are no precedents in the literature using fuzzy multicriteria decision analysis techniques to select the most suitable gamification application for a degree-level university course.

During the university course the future legal psychologists have to master a wide range of professional competencies, among them are those that can be classified as management, with an emphasis on project making competencies and their relationship with the project making professional culture. The article presents the results of students' self-evaluation competencies. This research was a part of the monitoring of learning outcomes in a number of disciplines in the Faculty of Legal Psychology, Moscow State University of Psychology and Education. The author raises the problem of defining the concepts of "project culture" and "psychological culture of project making", which still do not have a clear definition inspite of the intensive development of the socio-cultural, innovative and other forms of project making. For legal psychologists project making culture involves the acquisition of psychologically correct approaches to the development, evaluation, promotion and institutionalization of the ideas, so they can provide the solution of professional problems.

Az 1860-as években a műegyetem tanári karában többször megfogalmazódott, hogy a reáliskolai képzés színvonalát emelni kell. Ennek módját egy reáliskolai tanárképezde felállításában látták. A kezdeményezés kölcsönösen összetalálkozott az Eötvös-féle tanárképzési tervezetekkel, így 1870-ben nemcsak a pesti egyetemen, hanem a műegyetemen is létrejött a tanárképző intézet. A reáliskolai tanárképezde megszervezésében Stoczek Józsefnek – az intézmény akkori vezetőjének – volt meghatározó szerepe, aki a képezdébe a műegyetemi tanári kar legjobb és legsokoldalúbb erőit vonta be, maga pedig az igazgatást is felvállalta. Stoczek az oktatókat részben polihisztori mivoltuk, részben a műszaki és humán műveltség iránti mély elkötelezettségük, továbbá közéleti szerepük miatt választott be a tanári karba. A műegyetemi levéltári dokumentumok alapján egyértelmű, hogy ennek az intézetnek a működését a magyar értelmiségképzés szempontjából kiemelt és küldetéses feladatnak tekintette a műegyetem. Az alapgondolat szerint egyrészt szakmailag igényes és pedagógiailag kiművelt reáliskolai tanárokat képeznének ki; másrészt az általuk jól felkészített reáliskolai növendékek minőségi és mennyiségi változást hozhatnának a műegyetemre felvételizők körében. Az 1780 és 1873 között működő műegyetemi reáliskolai tanárképezde a szakmai tanárképzésünk alapvető történeti szakaszának tekinthető. 1783 őszén Trefort Ágoston szervezetileg összevonta a két tanárképzőt egy intézetbe. A tapasztalatok egy része beolvadhatott az új közös intézetbe. A rövid ideig tartó műegyetemi működés ellenére – a szervezettség, az igényesség, a sokoldalúság okán – a tanárképző intézet szellemiségének további és jelentős kisugárzása volt a műegyetem munkájának egészére nézve, illetve a helyi pedagógiai szakmai vonulat megszületésére. ’At the distance of 150 years: teachers’ training institution of exact sciences operating at the University of Technology (1870 -1873)In the 1860s, the staff of the technical university worded several times that the quality of education at schools specialized in exact science should be improved. To achieve this, they believed a training institution for teachers of technical schools should be established. This idea met the plans of Eötvös’s teacher training plans, so in 1870 a teacher training institution was established not only at the university of Pest but the university of technology, as well. József Stoczek, the current director of the institution, had a decisive role in organizing the training institute for teachers of exact sciences; he involved the best and versatile members of the staff of the technical university, and undertook leadership himself. Stoczek selected the professors partly because of their generalist nature and engagement for exact and social disciplines, partly because of their role played in public life. According to the documents of the archives of the technical university, it is clear the university took the operation of this institute as a highlighted and mission-like task in terms of educating Hungarian intellectuals. The basic idea was that technical school teachers possessing high quality professional and pedagogical knowledge would be trained on one hand and the pupils prepared by these teachers could bring a qualitative and quantitative change in the group of university applicants.  The teacher training institute having operated at the university of technology between 1870 and 1873 can be considered a basic historical period of our vocational teacher training. In the autumn of 1883, Ágoston Trefort merged the two teacher training institutions into a new one. Despite the short time of operation at the technical university, the teacher training institution, owing to its being well-organized, high-standard and versatile, had further and significant impacts on the work of the whole university as well as the birth of the local pedagogical thread.
