RESTRUCTURING THE SCHOOL SYSTEM EDUCATION IN THE USSR IN THE CONTEXT OF THE EXTENSIVE CONSTRUCTION OF SOCIALISM (1930s)
Resumo
The 1930s were a turning point in the life of the Soviet state. The extensive construction of socialism was announced in the country. The commitment to accelerated industrialisation and the implementation of the “second socialist revolution in the
countryside” was complemented by the demand for the implementation of a cultural revolution. The country’s party leadership paid close attention to the reorganisation of
the entire Soviet education system, primarily school education. A paradigm shift in the development of school education was necessary to form the appropriate psychological state of Soviet society and to foster confidence in the inevitability of the complete victory of socialism. The article analyses the main policy-making government documents of this period aimed at the formation of a new school education system in the USSR.

RUSSIAN SPIRITUAL AND ACADEMIC THEISM: ESSENCE AND CHRONOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK
Resumo
In this article, the author answers two questions. First, what is the philosophical essence of spiritual-academic theism? Second, what is the chronological framework for the existence of this philosophical tradition? It is shown that Russian spiritual-academic philosophy, within which Orthodox personology developed in the 19th century, can be characterised as theistic personalism. Within this framework, a comprehensive, systematic, and interdisciplinary philosophical doctrine of personality developed. The spiritual-academic philosophy of person is not chronologically limited to the 19th century; at the beginning of the 20th century, personalistic philosophy continued its development within the framework of the philosophy of language. Accordingly, the author believes that the chronological framework
for the existence of Russian spiritual-academic theism is the 19th and early 20th centuries.

A COMPREHENSIVE METHODOLOGY FOR CORRECTING FLAT FEET IN PRIMARY SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN USING A TRAINING DEVICE
Resumo
The article presents a scientifically grounded methodology for the correction and prevention of planovalgus deformity in primary school children using an original training device. The authors’ comprehensive methodology combines therapeutic exercise,
therapeutic massage according to the method of A. V. Verbov, therapeutic taping according to F. A. Subbotin, and the use of a specially designed innovative training device for the prevention and correction of planovalgus deformity. It also includes diagnostic plantography using the graphic calculation method of G. G. Potikhanova, S. F. Godunov, and N. P. Chernina, functional testing, and anthropometric measurements. The results of the
pedagogical experiment showed a characteristic improvement in the morphofunctional parameters of the foot and physical fitness in the following groups, with a greater increase observed in the experimental group: a reduction in coefficient K by 23.6–29.3%, an increase in the heel angle by 171–181%, and an increase in the strength of the lower leg and foot muscles by 28.2%. The obtained data confirm the hypothesis that the integration of active and passive methods using a specialised training device enhances the effectiveness of correcting planovalgus deformity in primary school children. The developed methodology is recommended for implementation in educational and medical institutions.

PHENOMENOLOGY OF THE JOB SEARCH EXPERIENCE IN ADULTS WITH HIGH-FUNCTIONING AUTISM: AN INTEGRATIVE MODEL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPONENTS
Resumo
This article presents an integrative theoretical model of the job search experience of adults with high-functioning autism based on a phenomenological approach. An analysis of qualitative studies has identified five key components: cognitive, emotional,
behavioural, social, and existential. The model demonstrates the dynamic interrelationships between the components, reflecting the complexity of the subjective experience of neurodiverse individuals. The work overcomes the limitations of deficit-oriented approaches by providing a basis for the development of personalised psychological support programmes and inclusive employment practices. The results contribute to the development of phenomenological psychology of neurodiversity and the formation of a new paradigm for understanding the professional adaptation of people with autism.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE OF A UNIVERSITY BIOLOGY GRADUATE: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERSONALITY TRAITS AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
Resumo
The article presents the results of a study of the psychological profile of finalyear biology students enrolled in the degree programme 06.04.01 Biology (General Biology profile) based on R. Cloninger’s Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI).
The aim of the work was to identify the relationship between temperament and character traits and the level of academic achievement. The study involved 30 4th-year students. It was found that high academic achievements (“excellent” grade) are statistically significantly associated with low scores on the Novelty Seeking scale, high scores on the Harm Avoidance scale, as well as with developed character traits – Self-Directedness, Cooperativeness, and Self-Transcendence. A common problem for the entire sample has been identified – a low level of Persistence. The results make it possible to identify targets for psychological and pedagogical intervention aimed at optimising the educational process and professional self-determination of future biologists.

ASPECTS OF THE SPIRAL OF SILENCE PHENOMENON AS A MEANS OF INFLUENCING PUBLIC OPINION
Resumo
Public opinion is an integral element of political and social dynamics, playing a key role in the decision-making process, mass mobilisation, legitimisation of power, and evaluation of institutions. New media, digital platforms, algorithms, and artificial intelligence have radically changed the logic of communication, causing the erosion of traditional sources of influence and trust, and also opening up opportunities for largescale manipulation.

INTERNAL SEPARATION AS A FACTOR OF AUTOAGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOUR IN ADOLESCENTS IN THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT
Resumo
An important component of autoaggression in adolescence is the emotional (regulatory) component, which determines the process of internal separation from the younger preschool age and contributes to the manifestation of aggression in adolescents. The theoretical basis of the research is the theories of frustration, autoaggressive behaviour and internal separation in the context of digitalisation and the digital environment. The theoretical foundations were identified and empirical results were obtained for the connection between autoaggressive behaviour of adolescents and internal separation.
The results of the empirical study showed that adolescents with high and moderate levels of autoaggression are characterised by depression, low self-esteem and reduced efficiency. Statistically significant differences in the severity of depressive states provoking autoaggressive behaviour were obtained in the control and experimental groups of adolescents. It was proven that training activities aimed at improving adolescents’ mental states contribute to significant positive changes in their emotional (regulatory) sphere.

DEVELOPMENT OF STUDENTS’ SELF-DETERMINATION CULTURE IN THE “CHOOSING A PROFESSION FOR THE FUTURE” PROGRAMME
Resumo
The article is devoted to a significant topic related to the professional self-determination of the younger generation. It reveals the problem that, despite the urgent need in the digital age for a new type of professionalism based on becoming a subject of professional self-determination, standard career guidance programmes are largely based on the concepts of professionalism from the last century, which are only being modernised by introducing certain flexible skills such as navigating large amounts of information. The article demonstrates the need for a new model of professionalism based on a reflexive-
positional model of the development of subjectivity in choice, as well as aimed at forming the ability to envision the future as an essential part of project thinking. The article presents experimental results that confirm its effectiveness in developing a culture of self-determination and forming subjective attitude towards choosing a future profession.
