The paper presents the results of an empirical study on study overload in adolescent students. The theoretical and methodological grounding of the study is given. The objective relevance of the problem of study overload for the modern system of general education is shown. The nature and manifestations of study overload in the educational process were studied through cause-effect relations. Psychodiagnostic data was subjected to mathematical and statistical processing (correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis), classified, summarized, and interpreted. The results obtained in the empirical study allowed us to understand the prognosis and risks of study overload formation on psychological well-being in adolescence. The conclusion is given that study overload is caused not at the expense of the students’ main study load but as a result of attending additional types of educational classes. The results obtained concluded that one in five adolescent students have a significant, often maximum, pronounced excess of study load. Moreover, one in four students experience the presence of moderate study overload. To prevent study overload, we state that one should focus not only on the normative regulation of certain types of educational activities but also on the students’ subjective state. Recommendations of possible directions of preventive work with students on psychological prevention of study overload are outlined.

The stages of the implementation of the direction of educational robotics, the approximate structure of a lesson in teaching children robotics are presented. The features of the organization of some competitions in robotics, types of tasks for tournament participants, organizational stages are described. The characteristics of the project direction in robotics, the approximate structure of the student's project are given. The importance of each of the considered directions of teaching robotics for the development of the student, its place in the system of general education and the system of additional education is indicated.All three described directions of robotics are in demand among children and parents, teachers, but, despite this, most often only competitive and creative design is implemented in the system of additional education. Unfortunately, in this case, a large number of children capable of robotics may not be identified for objective reasons, and, therefore, lost to engineering professions in the future. Thus, the modern system of basic education faces an acute task of introducing elements of educational robotics into the educational process.

The study of the psychological well-being of younger students in educational activities is relevant because of the significant number of publications on the facts of school disadvantaged children, the reason for which is recognized as the unconstructive organization of the educational process. In the article the author compared the interaction with pupils at the lesson of two teachers of primary classes with different level of pedagogical skill and correlated the revealed differences with the indicators of psychological well-being of their pupils. The author used his own method of registration of interactions. Pupils of two thirds classes (24 and 27 persons) of Penza secondary general education school and their teachers (2 persons) took part in the research. The results show that the interaction of a master teacher with pupils in the classroom, in comparison with a master teacher, is characterized by a greater number of visits to children and more uniform distribution of attention among children. Pupils of a master teacher outperform pupils of a teacher who is not a master in terms of psychological well-being: learning activity in the classroom and satisfaction with the teacher's relations with them.

The issues of organizing an expert survey and carrying out statistical processing and analysis of the results are considered. The experts are the fifth-year students undergoing training at the Department of Management and Informatics «Moscow Power Engineering Institute» of the National Research University. The goal of the survey is revealing the disciplines that are most useful for employment in their specialty. We discuss the special features of the survey and a concept of «work in the specialty», with due regard for statistical reliability of the results. Data of written questionnaire gained in 2018 were processed and analyzed using cluster analysis (construction of dendrograms and application of the K-means method) and non-parametric statistical criteria (Friedman and Mann – Whitney – Wilcoxon). Data processing is implemented in the program STATISTICA. The analysis is carried out to reveal significant differences between the educational courses and assess the degree of consistency of the respondents to divide them into clusters that unite the students with similar judgments. Data analysis revealed that experts’ estimates in 2018 are in fairly good agreement with the estimates of previous studies; among the respondents there are three coalitions corresponding to the training modules «Software», «Management Theory», «Data Analysis»; the overall consistency of students in the two groups is very low (and, on the contrary, high in the identified clusters); grades are homogeneous and do not depend on training groups (and employment – unemployment of the respondents). The obtained results allow us to address a number of important questions regarding the ways of improving the educational process, e.g., to optimize yearly course hours for different educational modules.
