Virtual, augmented, mixed and augmented reality are examples of immersive technologies. Over the past few years, 'immersiveness' in education has been recognized as a powerful and effective tool to support learning - virtual reality has moved from gaming to professional learning applications. Today it plays an important role in the educational process, providing a useful and fun way to get information. This work is devoted to an overview of trends, opportunities and problems associated with virtual reality in education. New educational perspectives of the latest applications are highlighted on the example of several educational areas. In addition, the author presents methods for creating scenarios and suggests approaches to testing and testing students' knowledge. Conclusions are drawn about the future direction of virtual reality and its potential to improve the learning process. Using a virtual reality headset with special software, students must follow certain rules without going beyond the algorithm. Also, some teachers may over-rely on technological developments, resulting in a lack of interaction between teacher and student. In the educational environment, it is possible to replace all traditional solutions with modern digital ones, but it should be remembered that only a balance between modern solutions and human interaction between teacher and student - mentoring will be effective.

The subject of the article is the formation of fundamental mathematical knowledge among future technical specialists. The object of the article: a mathematical performance management system aimed at evidence-based and fundamental knowledge. The purpose of the work is to substantiate the immanence of intellectual development and the fundamental nature of the education of future technical specialists, their importance in the educational process. Methodology of the work: search for a set of theoretical and methodological approaches, on the basis of which the principles of continuity, evidence and fundamentality are determined by future specialists of technical areas of training. The results of the work indicate an increase in the level of development of intellectual consciousness among future technical specialists. The field of application of the results is practical pedagogical activity, which forms the practical and applied significance of the subject. It is advisable to form a systematic, consistent and critical thinking with the help of a personalized pedagogical technology that has a reflexive educational function. An important aspect of mathematical training is the principles of interdisciplinarity and continuity. Conclusion: the formation of systematic, consistent, critical thinking of future technical specialists contributes to the generation of an educational result in the process of training highly qualified engineers.

Currently, the issues of physical training of the population are actively discussed even at the highest level. The fact is that physical training has a positive effect on the psycho-emotional state of individuals, especially if the activity of such individuals is constantly associated with stress, negative external influences. The latter include employees and cadets of law enforcement agencies, who in the course of their daily activities face not only physical activity, but also stress. An important direction in the training of cadets and law enforcement officers is fire training, including pistol shooting, the improvement of skills in which will be discussed in this article. So, when performing statistical exercises with firearms, when aiming, there is tension in the chest, and as a result, a decrease in lung volume, the priority of shallow breathing. In addition, when aiming with a pistol, the posture worsens the posture, developing a stoop. From the foregoing, it follows that for effective firepower training, cadets and law enforcement officers must be prepared for high physical exertion. In other words, they must train their endurance. In order to develop general endurance, special techniques have been developed that will be discussed in this article. So, in this article, the author analyzes the development of general endurance in order to improve pistol shooting skills. Emphasis is placed on the influence of physical fitness and endurance on pistol shooting skills.

For many centuries, the name of one of the types of theater that exists in different forms has been recorded under the name "shadow theater". By this name, we mean many different principles of interaction between light and an object that create shadows. Since projection involves the use of light to achieve "light scenes" as well as the use of light as a tool for creating shadows, it is fair to call such a theater "theater of light and shadows." If we use the name “puppet theater”, since the puppet is the main performer in the performance, then in this case both light and shadows equally participate in their performing roles in the “light and shadow theater”. Light without shadow would not be light, and conversely, a shadow without light would not be a shadow. Their uses have evolved over time. Technological progress has also opened up great opportunities for the play of light and shadow. But the principle and essence of the function of the relationship between light and shadow did not change. Light, just like shadow, played a certain role on the screen within the framework of the plot presented in the play. Unfortunately, in theater studies there is still no professional theatrical terminology that allows you to communicate easily and understandably to all participants in the creation of such a performance. Right, professional terminology for working in the shadow theater technique is currently absent. The establishment of such a terminological system would help, first of all, to more easily define and distinguish between the varieties of shadows and light used, and also to raise this type of theater to a higher professional level.

The article deals with the issue of the prospective development of a new type of buildings - children's media libraries, which are a structural unit of a typological group of public buildings. This type of building has emerged from the globalized leisure needs of children of different age groups. Against the background of the post-stagnation development of the library network, through the implementation of various state programs, the principles of continuity of the classical library function are implemented and media technologies are included in leisure activities. At the junction of the confluence of these two areas, there is the emergence of children's media libraries, whose development is actively carried out in foreign countries and begins to emerge on the territory of the Russian Federation. The study below is devoted to the search for the theoretical foundations of the architectural design of this type of building. Without constructing a theoretical vector for the development of a functionally adaptive scenario, the architectural typology of children's media libraries will not have a thorough study in terms of functional, spatial and technological development. The article is divided into three blocks: an analytical comparison of the most characteristic examples of modern design of media libraries, a retrospective analysis of regulatory documents governing construction, which made it possible to systematize the development of libraries by types of buildings, and then a theoretical model of media libraries based on advanced architectural and pedagogical technologies is proposed.

Art, its role, ways of creation, translation and perception have undergone significant changes in the course of the last century. In general, one can talk of aestheticisation of culture, which could not but have a certain impact on art. The departure from “classical art” began already in the epoch of modernism. The “digital turn” has contributed to new hypostasis of art in culture. The virtual medium has introduced new, unprecedented opportunities both in technical and spiritual aspects. Artworks have become more accessible to the general public, with a possibility of user intervention in creative process and the use of artificial intelligence therein. The phenomenon of cyber art has emerged, requiring profound culturological analysis. The use of digital technologies in creation of artworks actualises the issue of constraints of artificial intelligence potential in creative process as well as the problem of ethical and aesthetic content of works created by neural network with the use of algorithms and other digital technologies. In this regard, the notion of mosaic culture is important – as consisting of disparate elements, lacking consistency and integrity of perception and cognition. The mosaic culture refers one to the concept of “rhizome,” reflecting as well the consumer-oriented aspect of the mass culture. Therefore, this entails a danger of replacing the unique nature by mainstream values, and, moreover, of transformation or even loss of the original ontological and axiological sense of the artwork.

Modern world processes lead to the fact that different cultures are becoming more and more involved in each other's cultural areas. Changes in one cultural field affect the cultural field of another. Today, cooperation between Russia and China is at one of the highest points of development, the initiatives of the two countries in the field of cultural studies give impetus to the development of research relations between the two countries. In this regard, domestic science needed a deeper study of the cultural traditions of the Chinese people. Traditional holidays are an integral part of Chinese society. Festive traditions contain a rich national coloring, rich cultural content, express national emotions and humanistic values, reflect the mentality and culture of the Chinese people. The festive culture of the Chinese reveals an inextricable link with the traditional calendar sequential course of life, in connection with this, its originality and originality are more clearly manifested. The Qingming holiday in China is considered one of the main spring holidays, it not only embodies the cyclic nature of natural life and human life, but also reflects the principle of harmonizing human activity with natural phenomena. The fundamental idea of ​​Chinese civilization - the idea of ​​the inseparable unity of man and nature - is especially fully and convincingly manifested in the history and tradition of the Qingming holiday. In the article, the author considers holiday traditions, the origin of which is rooted in the distant past. At the same time, the connection between the past and the present, their fluidity and interchangeability are clearly felt. The article confirms the idea that the Qingming holiday is a multi-aspect phenomenon in which the concept of "the unity of man and nature" and the ideologies of various historical epochs are synthesized and simultaneously coexist. Conducting a historical analysis, the author emphasizes the need to merge history and the present, notes the paradoxical nature of the combination in one holiday of seemingly incomparable things: the commemoration of the dead and the joy of a new life. It is in understanding the deep essence of the holiday that the harmony of the present moment of being lies. Honoring one's ancestors, caring for one's roots, strengthening and uniting forces within the family and clan - all this distinguishes the true, according to the author, unity of the people.

Object of the article: Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin's dramatic essay “Cherez nedelyu budu v Parizhe nepremenno…” ("I will certainly be in Paris in a week...") (1834-35). Subject of the article: structure and meaning of Pushkin's text. Purpose of research: uncovering the hidden meaning of the essay. Research methods: methods of literary research, method of structural-semantic analysis. Results: The authors argue that a hidden motif of false rape allegation hints at a possible death of the hero. That motif is implied by the final scene of the story and separately is encoded by the anagram found in the name of the hero. Foreshadowing of Dorvil’s possible death is also conveyed through the motif of winking; similar use of the winking motif keeps recurring in Pushkin’s other works, in particular, in “Poltava”, “The Captain's Daughter” and “The Queen of Spades”. Field of application: literary criticism, teaching Russian literature of the 19th century. Conclusions: the theme of revenge and motif of duel between the lover and the heroine's husband prefigure the probable outcome of the story. Pushkin's essay belongs to a special type of literary texts that include 1) interrupted narration, 2) hidden meaning (implying the need for a virtual reconstruction of the background),3) possibility of reconstructing both the background and the outcome of the story that is left "behind the scenes".
