21st century mathematical learning emphasizes the importance of developing creativity, critical thinking, cooperation and communication skills. The aims of Mathematics are to trained students to think critically, systematically, logically, analytically, and creatively and have an effective willingness to work which is a Higher Order Thinking Skills. The development of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in learning is one manifestation of the implementation of the 2013 curriculum, so that learning and evaluation activities carried out should be oriented to HOTS. HOTS especially in mathematics was born from a continuous process and not only results oriented. A continuous and consistent process is needed to train and familiarize students. This should start from the beginning of the learning activities to take place until the completion of even the process of reflection and evaluation. Teachers must be able to facilitate students to become good thinkers and problem solvers

This paper intends to highlight the trends in technology over several years and contrast the differences in adoption and implementation between the field of education and the rest of the world. Education has been slow to adopt new practices and continues to remain less technologically advanced than the society it aims to educate. The focus of this review is to call attention to the impact on science education using journal articles and reports in the fields of education, educational technology, and learning and behavioral sciences. By being reluctant to incorporate technology, science educators miss out on the opportunity to enhance the learning of their students using strategies such as blended learning. Blended learning can be a tool that aids in the development and strengthening of the 21st century skills needed by students to think critically, apply learning, and solve real-world problems in the classroom, in the workforce, in higher education, and most importantly, in their daily lives. Blended learning is a strategy made possible by ICT implementation. Successful implementation requires clear vision, detailed and intentional planning, training, monitoring, and adjustment. Leaders should look to the experiences of others to plan for success and avoid pitfalls. Well-planned and poorly-planned technology projects are documented in the literature that can be used as learning examples. Keywords: blended learning, educational technology, science education, 21st century skills, ICT

The technology of the information battle is a two-stage activity in the formation of the students’ research and communication skills, as well as the ability to independently study the proposed topic and present it to the others. It optimizes the educational process, changes not only the student’s learning activity, but also the teacher’s position, makes it possible to individualize learning, improve the efficiency of the pedagogical process, ensuring the quality of specialist training at a competitive level. An option is given to use technology in a class on #СТОПВИЧСПИД.

This study aimed to analyze the influence of internship as a form of the WBL model to LIS students, in terms of the assessment theory of work-based learning and framework of 21st-century skills. The method used is descriptive quantitative, with respondents students who have done internships. The results showed that there are significant WBL (X) on critical thinking and problem-solving skills (Y1), indicated by the results of the significance value 0.000 <0.050 probability and the value of t, the obtained value of tcount 6.177 > ttable 2.024. Next, there is the influence of WBL (X) on communication skills (Y2), seen from the significance value of 0.000 <0.050 probability. Then, for a value of t, obtained the value of tcount 5,039> ttable 2,024. There is the influence of WBL (X) on collaboration skills (Y3), seen at a significance value of 0.000 <0.050 probability. Then, for a value of t, the obtained value of tcount 5,405 > ttable 2,024. There is no significant and positive relationship between the implementation of WBL and students' Creativity and Innovation skills (Y4). This can be seen when the linearity test is carried out. The implementation of an internship can contribute to the development of skills covered in LIS, except for creativity and innovation skills.

The development of the pharmaceutical industry is one of the priority tasks of our state, aimed at providing the population of the Russian Federation with modern safe and effective medicines. The solution to this problem is impossible without the formation of a highly qualified personnel potential that meets the demand and expectations of the pharmaceutical market and society as a whole. In this regard, in the system of training of pharmacists in recent years, quite dynamic and flexible transformations have been taking place, dictated by the urgent needs of domestic health care. It should be noted that in the process of implementing this educational standard, the competency-based approach to organizing the process of training modern pharmacists comes to the fore. One of the effective tools for the formation of professional competencies in various educational fields is the case study method. Case study is a training method based on the analysis of real situations from various areas of professional activity and contributing to the development of specialist competency. The competency-based orientation of the case study method is in line with modern ideas about the organization of the educational process for the training of pharmacists. The case study method is actively used in the process of teaching disciplines of the curriculum of the Federal State Budget Educational Establishment of Higher Education KubGMU of the Ministry of Health of Russia, specialty 33.05.01 Pharmacy. Examples of case study tasks as educational technology are presented in the work programs of the curriculum disciplines of the specialty 33.05.01 Pharmacy developed at the Department of Pharmacy. Depending on the content of the taught discipline, these tasks simulate a particular situation from the professional activities of pharmacists, offered to students for a comprehensive analysis and evaluation. The use of this educational technology contributes to the integration of knowledge, skills acquired in the learning process and their competency-based profiling in accordance with the current level of development of domestic health care.
