We consider the experience of using museum pedagogy to implement the innovation project “Basic schools of the Russian Academy of Sciences”. The main goal of the project is to identify and attract talented young people to the scientific sphere. The school museum can become a place for students to get acquainted with the methods of search and research work, critical thinking development and, as a result, further development in the professional sphere. Based on the analysis of the military and historical glory museum’s work of school graduates and Tambov partisans, “MAEI Lyceum no. 6” managed to identify 4 stages of the project implementation. First of all, with the help of creative tasks and game methods it is necessary to motivate students to engage in search and research work. The next stage implies creation of additional opportunities for scientific self-realization. From the most interested students a creative association is formed, which is engaged in such activities as museology, source study, art and technology, and historical. At this stage the teacher should actively implement the project method of work. It is possible to invite scientists and specialists with lectures and master classes to make students learn more about the features of scientific work. The third stage implies the inclusion of museum lessons in the educational process, and the organization of such lessons should involve members of the creative association. In conclusion: we should not forget about the importance of promoting the museum in the public environment through the official website, media, scientific publications, mass events and excursions for school guests.

The article is devoted to elucidating the spectrum of opinions of young (up to 35 years old) employees of the Scientific Research Institute of Scientific Centers of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Krasnoyarsk, Tomsk, Irkutsk) about the radical reform of the Russian Academy of Sciences, science as a profession, its place and role in the country, and the value of fundamental science. The bulk of the respondents were chairmen and active members of the Councils of young scientists of institutes. The evidence of serious claims presented by scientific youth to the current style of leadership of science by the state is shown, it is shown that with the transfer of control levers to the hands of the Federal Agency for Scientific Organizations (FANO), this problem has not lost its relevance, in particular, the results show a high degree of dissatisfaction young people the established practice of budget financing of scientific research, which is characterized primarily by the instability of the receipt of funds. It is shown that for scientific youth the problem of stability, predictability of the situation, the possibility of deep planning of the research horizon is no less important than for senior colleagues. A significant proportion of respondents radically assessed thesituation inside the RAS. Recognizing the undoubted importance of the Academy of Sciences for the development and organization of scientific research, young scientists insisted on the need for academic science to meet the time, timely and adequately responding to all kinds of challenges. It was this Academy of Sciences, in their opinion, that was not enough, which became one of the most important prerequisites for reform. Assessing the criteria and mechanisms for assessing the intensity and effectiveness of scientific work (from science as a whole to a specific institute and an individual scientist), young researchers also expressedwell-grounded claims, emphasizing the dominance of formal scientometric indicators in post-reform Russian science. Assessing the relevance of the task of rejuvenating science, noticeable personnel shifts, many respondents recognized its importance; at the same time, in their opinion, such a task was not in the spotlight. Young employees of academic research institutes did not support the widespread opinion about the sharp activation of scientific emigration among young people in connection with the reform. In general, the scientific youth, when assessing the prospects of both science in Russia as a whole and their own, expressedcautious optimism.

The article presents some ideas about the practical training of future educators in the analysis of Ukrainian scholars-pedagogues whose names are known in Ukraine and abroad. The emphasis is placed on the importance of accepting some ideas as relevant to the implementation under modern conditions of the development of domestic education. It has been pointed out that there are actual I. Ogienko's ideas concerning the importance of the self-criticism of the people of science to their work, the attitude of society to the scientists' scientific work, which is not sufficiently appreciated, but is the basis of the spiritual culture. M. Pirogov's ideas about importance of university education, the formation of students' need for independent reading of scientific literature and the preparation of lectures in this way have been considered. G. Vaskovych's position on the level of training of pedagogical staff, providing them with the necessary methodical assistance, publishing periodical scientific and educational publications, which would facilitate implementing the most advanced ideas into educational practice and informing the readers about the ways of their implementation have been revealed. The analysis of a number of educational ideals by Ukrainian teacher G. Vashchenko and the vision of the importance of correct choice in the education of Ukrainian youth has been presented, because the quality of the formation of the moral qualities of young people depends on the adoption of the educational ideal. The importance of the S. Chavdarov's ideas concerning the textbook creation has been proved. In his opinion, the false practice of annual creating text-books negatively affects teaching, leads to neglecting of the theory. The author substantiates M.Gryshchenko's important views on raising the level of pedagogical preparation of students, educational work with freshmen, didactic counseling for young teachers. The attention has been paid to A. Aleksyuk's analysis of independent work of students, because, in his opinion, independence in obtaining knowledge helps to acquire skills and abilities to see the purpose and content of work, to ensure selfeducation. O. Dukhnovich's thoughts about a mentor as a person gifted with special qualities, among which is the true challenge, respect for order, and the possession of a clear way of teaching have been considered.

Оптимизированная система мониторинга сибирского шелкопряда Dendrolimus sibiricus Tchetverikov (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) была разработана в ходе выполнения международного проекта «Лесные ресурсы и технологии» (ФОРЕСТ), профинансированного Агентством США по международному развития (USAID) в 2001-2005 гг. Она включает последовательные стадии лесопатологического районирования субъектов федерации, отдельных лесхозов, организации феромонного мониторинга разреженных популяций шелкопряда и лишь при фиксации ловушками подъема численности (выше 100 бабочек/ловушку/сезон) - перехода к учету гусениц. В ходе проекта впервые разработана технология феромонного мониторинга вредителя (синтезирован аналог феромона, созданы диспенсер, ловушки и фиксирующие инсектицидные пластинки, рекомендована методика учетов и алгоритм принятия решения). Проект профинансировал создание трехтомного справочника «Болезни и вредители в лесах России», впоследствии изданного Агентством лесного хозяйства Российской Федерации. Опробованная и внедренная в ходе проекта на территории Томской, Иркутской, Сахалинской областей, Красноярского, Хабаровского, Приморского краев и Республики Бурятия система мониторинга служит ярким примером плодотворной кооперации ученых Российской академии наук и лесных вузов с практиками лесного хозяйства. The optimized monitoring system of the Siberian moth Dendrolimus sibiricus Tchetverikov (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) was developed during the implementation of the Forest Resources and Technologies (FOREST) international project funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in 2001-2005. It includes successive stages of forest pathology zoning of the subjects of the Russian Federation, individual forestry enterprises, organization of pheromone monitoring of sparse Siberian moth populations and, only when the population growth is recorded by the means of traps (above 100 male moths / trap / season) - transition to caterpillar sampling. In the course of the project, the technology for pheromone monitoring of the pest was developed for the first time (a pheromone analogue was synthesized, a dispenser, trap and fixing insecticidal strip were created, a methodology of accounting and a decision-making algorithm was recommended). The project financed the creation of a three-volume handbook "Diseases and Pests in Russian Forests", subsequently published by the Forestry Agency of Russian Federation. The monitoring system tested and implemented in the course of the project in the Tomsk, Irkutsk, and Sakhalin Districts, Krasnoyarsk, Khabarovsk, Primorskiy krays and the Republic of Buryatia serves as a vivid example of fruitful cooperation between scientists of the Russian Academy of Sciences and forestry universities with forestry practitioners.
