Three forms of interaction between teacher and students, which have become widespread, are described. The main purpose of the work is to study the fundamental differences between games and gamification in order to identify and modify the most effective methods for introducing active learning elements in the educational process. After decomposition of games and gamification, the following features of activities were revealed. Already at this stage, differences are noticeable between the goals of games where you need to win, and gamification – to learn. It is shown that the selection of optimal game mechanics, to improve the learning process, was carried out according to subjective criteria, and the result according to objective – academic performance, aimed at students of technical specialties. Thus, repeated studies for groups of other specialties can give different, but no less interesting situations. It was found that the use of game scenarios during a laboratory practice objectively increases academic performance, thereby increasing the formation of skills and abilities of professional competencies.

The Creation

This article discusses the problems of teaching a foreign language at a technical university at the present stage. The problem of deepening cognitive activity, strengthening the independence and creativity of students is one of the stimulating tasks in pedagogy. The modern orientation of education towards the formation of a person’s competence in activities and communication presupposes the creation of didactic and psychological conditions in which a student can show a personal position, individuality, express himself as a subject of training. And, namely, the student is involved in the process of educational activity with varying degrees of activity. The article also describes three levels of cognitive activity of students: reproducing, interpreting and creative. The first level, reproducing, is characterized by the desire of students to understand, remember, reproduce the acquired skills, mastering the ways of performing actions on the model. The interpretation level implies a desire to comprehend the meaning of what is being studied, to apply knowledge and mastered methods of activity in new educational conditions. The creative level, on the other hand, provides students with a readiness for a theoretical understanding of knowledge, an understanding of the connections between objects and phenomena, an independent search for solutions to problems. The article analyzes passive and active learning, depending on the level of cognitive activity of students in the educational process. With passive learning, the student acts as an object of educational activity (monologue lectures, reading literature, demonstrations) and does not perform any problematic, search tasks. With active learning, the student becomes the subject of educational activity, enters into a dialogue with the teacher, actively participates in the cognitive process, performs creative, search, problem tasks. Moreover, in this article, based on the objective laws of the process of cognitive activity of a person, information on problem education is given. And, namely, the basis of the theory of problem-based education is: 1. purposefulness (i.e. not one goal is to study the material, but several - educational, educational, developing); 2. The problematic structure of educational material; 3. A combination of creative and reproductive teaching methods; 4. duality of the learning process (the listener is not a passive object of pedagogical activity, but an active subject of the learning process); 5. The corresponding structure of knowledge; 6. systematic motivation for learning (the formation of students' cognitive needs and interest in knowledge). It is also noted that when implementing the principle of problem-based learning, a whole series of psychological and related problems arise, primarily with the creation of a problematic situation corresponding tasks to be solved. This article provides solutions to these problems.

The authors of the article emphasize that modern realities require the development of skills of confident and worthy behavior in all situations, etc. It is noted that skills must be developed in learning process using various methods and techniques in the classroom and off-hour work using various psychological trainings to create a psychologically safe and comfortable educational environment. The study of the impact of applying personal-oriented teaching methods in English language learning process on the formation of self-confidence, improving academic performance and increasing interest in a foreign language is described in the article. The purpose, hypothesis, tasks, methodological and theoretical basis of the research, methods and experimental base of the research are defined in the article; the results of the research of the summative, formative and control stages are analyzed. The method of Yakubovskaya P. was chosen as a diagnostic method at the summative and control stages of the study. P. Yakubovskaya's assessment test is aimed at the ability to distinguish between confident, insecure and aggressive behavior of an individual. The summative stage of the study showed that the majority of students do not see the line between confident and insecure behavior of the individual in situations that were taken as examples. It is mentioned that some guys couldn't tell the difference between confident and aggressive behavior. At the formative stage of the study, students in the control group studied using the classical method. For students of the experimental group, English lessons were developed and tested using specially designed tasks of a personality-oriented nature. During the control stage of the study, students who were part of the experimental group showed a significant increase in correct answers while doing the test. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the use of personality-oriented approach in the educational process positively affects the formation of self-confidence, improving academic performance and increasing interest in a foreign language in general, as well as contributing to the formation of a strong and self-confident personality.

This article is devoted to the ways and means of establishing interdisciplinary communication between biology and natural sciences. The main purpose of the research is to explore ways to properly establish interdisciplinary communication in the learning process, as well as in the teaching of biology. In the field of integration in education, it is impossible to achieve success in teaching different subjects, especially without the use of interdisciplinary communication. Integration has become one of the main principles of training in modern period, as well as the basis of the educational process. Teaching subjects at a coherent pace will increase the effectiveness of the perceptual process, as well as accelerate the formation of motivation in the learning process. Teaching biology in conjunction with other natural sciences will help students to form a correct worldview, as well as create a complete and holistic view of the world. However, special attention should be paid to the establishment of interdisciplinary communication in accordance with the age and individual characteristics of students. For this, the right forms and methods must be used. The article provides information about these forms and methods, the mechanisms of their use. It is especially important to establish interdisciplinary links, as well as the form in which they are organized to increase the effectiveness of training. Form means the outward expression of the organized activity. Forms of work organized individually, in groups, in groups and in pairs are used during active learning. Depending on the level of difficulty of the topic and the interdisciplinary relationship created, as well as the age and perceptual characteristics of students, the forms of work should be chosen by the teacher at the stage of lesson planning. In addition, the use of teaching methods in establishing interdisciplinary links is of particular importance. The use of these teaching methods will be of particular importance in the formation of logical, creative, critical thinking in students. Teaching methods include both traditionally used oral, visual, and practical methods, as well as active learning methods used in modern education. Also, the organization of out of class, out of lesson activities and nature excursions is one of the main ways to establish interdisciplinary communication. It is known that it is impossible to fully establish the connection between biology and other natural sciences in the teaching process. The best way to deal with this problem is to turn to out of lesson, out of class activities. Significance Application: Can be used to properly organize interdisciplinary communication in biology classes in secondary schools. Keywords: Integration, training, biology, interdisciplinary communication, method

Abstract Active learning is an important part of modern engineering education. It directly engages students in the learning process, helping them think and creatively solve problems. Often this is done in the context of a team project involving group activities both inside and outside the classroom. Analysis and Design of Propulsion Systems is an elective course that has been a traditional lecture course at Baylor University, teaching gas turbine engines using cycle design. In an effort to involve the students more in the learning process, active learning modules were introduced to make the course more interactive. The active learning modules involved assigning students into teams of four that were formed using the Comprehensive Assessment of Team Member Effectiveness (CATME) software. Each team was to operate as a commercial company which included picking a name, developing a logo, and writing a mission statement similar to actual commercial companies. The point of having each team become a commercial company was to foster competition. The companies were tasked to eventually design the lowest cost, most efficient high bypass turbofan engine to replace the existing engines on the B-52H bomber. Each company wrote a persuasive position paper on whether or not the B-52H should be re-engined and a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the re-engined B-52H. Gas turbine cycle design occurred using a three part design project. The engine cycle of choice for this re-design was the high bypass turbofan. Phase one was a detailed mission analysis incorporating the requirements from the RFP and leading to the selection of a design point, the calculation of the required installed thrust for each leg (and consequently the uninstalled thrust for each leg), as well as an average uninstalled specific fuel consumption for the mission. On-design, the next phase in the design process, used an on-design analysis at the design point which resulted in a selection of a fan pressure ratio, an overall pressure ratio, and a bypass ratio. The last phase examined the chosen engine at off-design mission points and the final fuel was calculated using actual uninstalled specific fuel consumption values to assure the fuel reserve was met. All phases were incorporated into a final report. To conclude the process, each team presented their engine as if they were a company seeking to sell their product to a customer. The customer, the professor, then picked an overall winner based on the information presented. Assessment of the course showed that the students appreciated the competitive environment giving them insight into how a gas turbine company might operate. In conclusion, the active learning modules and team competition with the design project were effective in challenging and exciting the students about the design of gas turbine engines. The company context for teams prepares students for what to expect should they work in the gas turbine industry.

Development of education system in various countries is based on some definite con-cepts which form its methodological foundation. Those include systematic, activity, subject, competence, learner-centered and culturological approaches. Natural science education is one of the education areas changing much more rapidly than the others; and the directions of these changes depend on the problems comprehension and selection of approaches to their solution. Content of natural science education and the process of its learning are among the problems whose solution could facilitate students’ cognitive activity. The content of natural science education of schoolchildren is presented in the textbook “The World around Us”. There are more than ten alternative editions of textbooks recom-mended for teaching in schools nowadays. Therefore we face the need to develop a system of basic (supportive) knowledge that could enable the schoolchildren to continue their natural science learning at the next stage. The present article gives a brief characteristic of basic knowledge on the school subject. The appropriate learning process organization is vital for the basic knowledge included in the educational programs and textbooks to become the supportive means in schoolchil-dren’s activity. It should be noted that while the content of education is pre-determined, a teacher determines the process of its learning and chooses the methods of teaching. Good results in natural science education could be achieved provided that the teacher’s activity is innovative and focused on educational process improvement. Scientists and teachers search innovative ways of teacher-student interaction as well as support for student’s position as the subject of the learning process. Keywords: methodological foundation, the content of natural science education, the basic knowledge, innovations.

Purpose of research. The research, the results of which are presented in this article, was carried out in order to activate and improve the efficiency of independent work of students in the information environment of learning by rational individual selection of training tasks. In the process of the research, a method for automatically selecting tasks for self-completion was developed and implemented in the educational process, based on predicting the difficulty and learning effect of the task for a specific student, taking into account the complexity of the task and the student’s readiness to perform this task. Methods and materials. The article provides a distinction between the concepts of complexity, difficulty, and the learning effect of training tasks. On this basis, the task of predicting the level of difficulty of the task for the student is set as a task of automatic classification of “student-task" pairs, which represent a set of characteristics of the student and the task that are available in the database of the e-learning system. The result of the classification is a forecast of the level of difficulty of the task for the student, on the basis of which a decision is made about the learning effect of this task.The classification problem is one of the well-developed machine learning tasks “with a lecturer". Decision trees were selected from several well-known trained classification models for implementation, since they, unlike neural networks, represent prediction rules in a visual form, while highlighting significant features. The learning phase of the model consists of building a decision tree based on a training sample containing data on precedents for students to complete tasks. As a result of the computational experiment, decision trees were built for several disciplines that practice automatic verification of students’ decisions, i.e. there is data for forming a training sample.Results. The article provides an example of a decision tree based on a training sample, which is formed on the basis of data from an electronic workshop on the discipline “Foreign language ". The quality of the predictive model was determined on the exam sample by the criteria of accuracy and generalizing ability (the degree of severity of the “retraining effect”). The obtained values of these indicators allow us to recognize the quality as acceptable. The first results ofpractical application of the proposed method of selecting tasks in the educational process are analyzed. The software developed in the process of the research can be considered as the basis of a recommendation system that can not replace live communication between the student and the lecturer, but is their smart assistant in the learning process. Conclusion. In general, the results of the research show that the capabilities of artificial intelligence technologies, in particular, machine learning, allow us to put into practice the principle of individualized learning, to adapt the learning process to the individual characteristics of each student in order to effectively develop their professional competencies. The proposed method is implemented and tested in the information environment of training students of IT areas of Vologda State University, however, this approach is quite universal, and it can be extended to other subject areas and forms of training.
