The modern educational environment is undergoing a number of innovations and transformations. One of them is the Informatization of professional education. Like any innovation, it is both supported and criticized. Digital technologies are not only a tool, but also a kind of new approach in the learning process. They allow you to conduct classes at any convenient time. Contribute to the development of continuing education, the ability to design individual educational routes. However, Informatization of higher education requires teachers to have a different mentality, perception of the world picture, and completely different approaches and forms of working with students. This article provides a General description of the information educational environment in which it resides today. It also provides information that considers it as one of the alternative forms of higher education

Systemic changes in the methodological training of future teachers are determined by the need of society for a teacher capable of implementing the ideas of humanism - the leading principle of modernization of education. Preparing a teacher for the implementation of a person-oriented educational process will ensure the transition of the school to a qualitatively new state. This activity requires the teacher to possess effective methodological tools for designing the environment for the development of the student's personality and appropriate methodological training. The article focuses on the problem of methodological training of future biology teachers to design the environment for personal development of schoolchilds. Innovative technology is revealed as a part of the system of personal-oriented methodological training of students, which is a cyclical development of the design of "personal-oriented methodological objects". The place of video lessons in the system of methodological training and their significance in the formation of a holistic image of the personality-oriented educational process is shown. The creation of video tutorials and their methodological support, developed with the participation of teachers, psychologists and methodologists who own the methodological tools of the personal-oriented educational process, is a certain contribution to solving the problem of the content of school biological education at the level of the educational process. At this level, the teacher plays an important role in shaping the content. But even an experienced teacher with practical teaching experience is not sufficiently prepared for the system design of a person - oriented educational process. The author proves the need to create methodological manuals for designing a person-oriented educational process with the inclusion of video tutorials in the form of an electronic application. It is emphasized that an important role in solving this problem can be played by the restoration of the Institute of methodologists who translate the theoretical provisions of science and the methods of practical actions of the teacher.

Тhe Relevance of the research topic is caused by changes in the education system in our country related to the threat of spread of caronovirus infection. Given the current situation, most universities, on the recommendation of the Ministry of science and higher education of the Russian Federation, partially or completely switched to distance learning. Objectively, we can say that not all universities were ready for a radically new for many restructuring of the educational process from full-time to online format. And this was determined by many factors, one of which was the lack of experience of teachers in using digital platforms and services in the educational process. This article discusses the possibilities of using the most common Internet services for distance education. Their use in various types of classes is analyzed. A comparative assessment of the technical characteristics of various Internet platforms used in distance education is given. The possibilities of social networks and modern messengers for distance learning are shown. The practical significance of this study is that the developed conclusions on the comparative characteristics of various video conferencing services for different types of training sessions in the distance learning mode can be used by scientific and pedagogical workers of the education system indetermining the solution of the irapplication in the rprofessional activities.

In the article potential and opportunities from technology-oriented education of educational institutions are being viewed. The aim of the research is development of the educational technology-oriented model by networking of educational institutions. The methods of the research is comprehensive analysis of russian and foreign scientific articles and polling statistical data. The matrix and the network models have been approved as an effective way of organization in technological companies. It is therefore worth while considering the perspectives of the models in the projection on the technology-based educational system. It is being proved that the principles of network structures building in educational system are analogous to those which are being implemented in commercial enterprises and have no less effectiveness. The article also provides the rationale for effectiveness of integration of educational system with the labour market by implementation of a network structure. The effectiveness of the technology-oriented network educational model implementation consists of theoretically infinite variations of making connections between the elements of labour market and educational system.

The article contains the results of scientific research on solving modern problems of teaching students in a transport University by developing their creative abilities. Through the use of a personal-oriented approach in the educational process, the future specialist has the opportunity to make the right choice and develop abilities in different types of engineering activities: design, research, production and technological, and organizational and managerial. It is shown by practical consideration how to upgrade a certain set of competencies that are necessary for future professional activity, develop those personal qualities that will contribute to further self-improvement in accordance with the chosen type of engineering activity in the process of mastering academic disciplines with the use of personality-oriented technologies. Using a personality-oriented approach, the psychophysiological properties of the person are taken into account: the type of thinking, the type of memory, the level of memorization; emotional and volitional qualities: temperament, emotionality, will, stress resistance; characterological properties of the person: leadership, self-esteem, level of claims, adaptive mobility. The importance of professional inclinations is shown: in project work - reproducing memory, spatial imagination; in research activities-abstract thinking, facilitating memory; in production and technological activities, and in organizational and administrative activities - communication, leadership, adaptive mobility, strong will, tolerance. In order to determine the levels of students 'professional competencies, the authors developed a set of control tests that allow to identify and evaluate students' knowledge that are necessary for the successful implementation of all four types of engineering activities, as well as the student's acquired skills to perform professional functions in the corresponding types of engineering activities. The effectiveness of the personal-oriented approach is proved by comparing the levels of formation of mandatory and personal-oriented professional competencies.

The success of a modern person largely depends on their ability to learn throughout their life. The ability to learn is formed from school in the form of universal learning activities, one of which is semantic reading. Semantic reading and reading literacy are at the core of a person's reading culture. The reader's culture is inextricably linked to the system of continuing education and represents a set of interrelated values and ways of self-educational activities aimed at working with information sources. The formation of a reading culture depends on the quality of professional training of future teachers. The aim of the research was to develop methods for forming a reader's culture using basic information technology tools and their development by students studying in the field of "Pedagogical education". The goal was achieved based on the analysis of literature and other sources, as well as by designing educational tasks aimed at forming the students ' reading culture. As a result of the research, the relationship between the concepts of "semantic reading", "reading literacy" and "reading culture" is determined. Methods for the formation of students ' reading culture using basic information technology tools are developed and methodological recommendations for their use in general education schools are given. In conclusion, it is concluded that the developed methodological techniques for working with information sources using basic software tools of information technologies will prepare future teachers for the formation of reader culture as a fundamental quality of personality for self-education throughout life.

Modern society is in need of a new type of specialists. These are people who have not just a set of knowledge, but such professional competencies that allow them to form new ideas and meanings. This concept applies equally to the technologies of training cultural workers.

Object the article: The riddle of the Sphinx in the Oedipus myth. Subject of the article: The riddle of the Sphinx as a mathematical allegory. Purpose of research: The author argues that the interpretation of the riddle of the Sphinx on a meta-linguistic level as an allegory of the mathematical notions (e.g. triangle) reveals the semantic parallels between the number code of the riddle and the number symbolism in the Oedipus myth. Research metods: Philological research methods applied. Results: The riddle of the Sphinx is a mathematical allegory as it is a narrative in which a concrete fictional character - a creature changing the number of feet - is used to convey abstract mathematical notions. The incorporation of the riddle into the myth in the post-Homer versions resulted in an “accommodation” of the literary story of Oedipus to the riddle by adding the images related to the number “three” (third day, crossroads, the forked motif in the double goad, “three-footed” Oedipus with a cane). Field of application: Literary studies. Conclusion: The interpretation of the riddle of the Sphinx as a mathematical allegory underscores the significance of the number motif in the riddle and myth. The semantic harmonization between the mathematical notions conveyed in the riddle and the number images in the literary versions of the legend, reflect a deep structure of the Oedipus myth.
