Subject of the article is actual as never given the speed and volatility of data transfer and it’s processing. Authors have attended the topic of “digital transformation” multiple times, researching both negative and positive outcomes of this process. To define some of the potentially negative - alienation from other elements of life due to division of labor, personal and professional diviations. Some of the standing out positives - RnD and creative potential provided by virtual space, ability to effectively model technical and social processes, gamification as an additional tool of education development. This article is focused around the methodology of the elective education course “Constructing virtual worlds: game, science fiction and futurology” that was held in 2020/2021. Authors provide detailed description of how this course has been formed and method of its delivery to the audience. Being done as the dialogue between speakers and students, through the means of constant discussion, the course allowed not just to constantly receive and apply feedback to real-time, but also to form a thought process, reasonable for subjects in discussion. The course has provoked a lot of interest both in academic and industrial circles and has been discussed at multiple professional media platforms. Major results are ability to develop disciplines for new masters programs and programs of additional specialization. Authors are also confident that the course can be the beginning of new research and practical transdisciplinary fields aimed to explore vision and ideas of virtual space, cyber space and metaverse.

The article is written in the framework of the research project of the Moscow state university of psychology and education "Development of a conceptual model of a new school". In this article, the authors attempt to start a comparative analysis of conceptual educational systems and practices that have common value and theoretical and methodological foundations and can become the basis for building the educational process within the framework of the project being developed. It is important to enrich understanding of how the principles of subjectness, cooperation, and development can be implemented on a school-wide scale through a comparison of the system of developmental instruction training and the reflexive-activity approach. The article attempts to integrate these approaches in the process of designing a new school.

This article examines the career of Yakov Kronrod, a Soviet economic theorist, in the context of the larger transformation of Soviet economics in the post-Stalin period. It argues that Kronrod’s debates with his rivals in the “Mathematical Economics” and “Moscow State University” approaches to economics open a window on how the changing relationship between the state and the profession of economics created new research agendas. The transformation of economics in the post-Stalin period into a “Cold War Science” from an “ideological science” made “policy relevance” increasingly important to Soviet economic practitioners and allowed once ideologically hostile ideas to become central to economics. This case study makes a larger intervention into the history of late Soviet society, arguing that seemingly arcane intellectual conflicts were, in fact, a reflection of extremely contentious political battles and that ideology remained a key site of politics deep into the Brezhnev era.

Comprehensive Study

The monograph was prepared within a project of the Vernadsky-Kuzbass Scientific and Educational Consortium. It presents a comprehensive study of the 2010–2018 education system of Kuzbass carried out by the Center for Education Development Strategy at M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University. The study compared the education systems in Kuzbass and other regions of Russia, drawing on related statistical data and reference materials. It also involved sociological surveys to identify the attitude of educators at three levels – general secondary, secondary vocational and tertiary – to the development of the regional education system. The authors’ conclusions and recommendations became a basis for the Strategy of Education Development in Kuzbass. The book is addressed to professionals working in education, management and sociology of education, as well as those with a general interest in the problems and trends of modern education.

AbstractThis article investigates research approaches used in traditional classroom-based interaction studies for identifying a suitable research method for studies in three-dimensional virtual learning environments (3DVLEs). As opportunities for language learning and teaching in virtual worlds emerge, so too do new research questions. An understanding of research design benefits and limitations is timely for those exploring how interaction occurs between users, and users and the virtual space, and how these interactions make sense within a broader theoretical framework. As a first step, the article describes the types of interaction that are significant to classroom-based research studies, such as learner–learner. This is followed by a historical overview of research approaches and methods used in interaction studies, from early quantitative, to descriptive and qualitative, to mixed-method approaches. Following this overview, the author critically surveys research approaches, methods, analytical tools, and data collection techniques used in physical and virtual second language classroom interaction studies. The article concludes by highlighting the implications and research considerations for the design of new research studies in 3DVLEs.

The paper attempts to comprehend the place and role of moot courts in modern legal education. To achieve this goal, the concept and types of moot courts are considered. The author analyses the order of their organization and conduct as a business game in the course of studying an academic discipline (module) and as a competition (competition) among students of higher educational institutions. The main stages of preparing the team for participation in the modeling process are characterized. The author argues an opinion that there are significant advantages of using moot courts in legal education, and supports it with, apart from other things, the results of the author’s survey of students of Kutafin Moscow State University (MSAL) having taken part in different moot court competitions. The author also identifies some difficulties in the preparation of teams. The author concludes that moot courts have an important role in the training of highly qualified specialists to make them ready to solve complex legal issues and possess all the knowledge and skills necessary for this.
