Characteristics and development path of elderly education in China in the new era
Abstract
Elderly education is related to the development of the national aging cause, which is a clear requirement and hope put forward by the national level for the grass-roots open university to do a good job in elderly education. As an important part of the lifelong education system, the vigorous development of high-quality education for the elderly and the guarantee of the right of the elderly to enjoy the same level of education are important paths for the development and improvement of the lifelong education system, and an important measure for actively coping with the aging of society. Ideally, an “education system that serves lifelong learning for all” should be an organic whole with a clear hierarchy, an appropriate structure, and an orderly articulation, integrating family education, school education, and social education. Internally, various forms of education are integrated and linked, and all kinds of educational resources are openly shared, which not only meets the learning needs of groups of different ages, but also forms a strong educational synergy to serve society; externally, this system can interact and coordinate with the development of the times, adjusting its internal structure in accordance with the changes in social needs, and thus maintaining a constant momentum of development and forming a virtuous circle. With the deepening of aging and the continuous promotion of market education, elderly education has emerged as a new industry. The university for the elderly is used as a handhold to reform the traditional way of education for the elderly, realise multi-dimensional and diversified teaching, establish effective and reliable long-term connections, and create a friendly atmosphere of love, respect and care for the elderly by all people. Forming a new business pattern of linkage and collaborative innovation of various departments, realising a sense of joy, a sense of security and a sense of worthiness for the elderly, while extending the service development of the elderly education industry, and enhancing the sustained, effective and healthy development of China’s elderly care industry.

THEORY AND METHODS OF TEACHING AND EDUCATION
About the teacher’s methodical credo
Abstract
This study is devoted to the analysis of the pedagogical term and phenomenon “methodical credo”. Today, pedagogical science and education are not limited only to the pedagogical credo, which has existed for a long time and is the most used of all types of credo in relation to the activities of a teacher. The following types of credo, identified by the author of the article, are named: scientific credo, sociolinguistic credo, personal and professional credo. Synonyms for words “method” and “credo” are identified, as well as their common (mutual) synonyms, and synonyms for “pedagogical credo” and “methodical credo/creed” are grouped. The meaning of the terms closest to the methodical credo is clarified. The essence of the methodical credo presented in the scientific publications is summarized. The author of this study puts forward the assumptions about the reasons for the emergence of the methodical credo in contemporary domestic pedagogical science. Thus, a methodological credo, to a greater extent than a pedagogical one, correlates with the teacher’s pedagogical activity and his methodical training, acts as an alternative to algorithmization in teacher’s training and compensation for the formalization of this training. It reflects the development trends of Russian educational terminology. A conclusion is drawn about the prospects of further research into the methodical credo and its inclusion in methodical dictionaries.

Children’s journalism in project activities as a means of forming the communicative culture of senior preschoolers
Abstract
One of the most important aspects of modern preschool education is analyzed, as well as a significant problem of society – the formation of the communicative culture of older preschoolers. Preschool age is a special stage in the process of personality formation. It is during this period that the foundations of the ability to build harmonious relationships with others, establish communication, and find a common language in various situations are laid. Success in the formation of a preschooler’s communicative culture affects the child’s socialization, expands the possibilities of cognition and activity, and allows full participation in the life of society. The purpose of this study is to substantiate the problem of forming the communicative culture of senior preschool children, as well as the proposed means of solving this problem through the introduction of children’s journalism into the pedagogical process in project activities, as well as the description and interpretation of the results of the study. Research methods: the proposed miniprojects, which are part of the global Crane project, represent both the theoretical basis of this study and the practical result of solving the problem of a low level of communicative culture in the experimental group by forming the communicative culture of senior preschoolers by means of children’s journalism in project activities. A model of the formation of the communicative culture of senior preschoolers by means of children’s journalism in project activities is presented. Based on the built-up model, practical work with children of the experimental group was designed. It was possible to identify, substantiate and experimentally verify the effectiveness of the influence of children’s journalism in project activities on the formation of the communicative culture of older preschoolers. The data of the control experiment convincingly prove the expediency of the conditions developed and tested by us.

METHODOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY OF PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION
Individualization of foreign language training of university students using digital educational technologies
Abstract
This study develops an integrative framework to advance individualized foreign language instruction through incorporation of digital technologies. As online platforms and adaptive learning systems proliferate, new opportunities emerge to tailor teaching to individual learner needs. However, prior research reveals gaps in existing assessment capabilities, and grounding in language acquisition theory. Many tools target only limited skills in isolation. An original conceptual model is proposed to address these limitations synthesizing adaptive sequencing, multidimensional evaluation, instructor guidance, and established pedagogical principles into a comprehensive system. A literature review analyzes prior empirical findings, frameworks, and best practices. The proposed model incorporates these insights around key elements: 1) adaptive learning platforms that adjust content based on ongoing diagnostics; 2) multifaceted assessment of linguistic and communicative competencies; 3) instructor access to analytics dashboards and customization tools; 4) overarching language acquisition theory and goals. This creates a cycle of personalized instruction, human-AI collaboration, and continuous improvement. Significance includes providing researchers an integrative framework to guide future innovation and empirical testing. For practitioners, it offers a roadmap to harness technologies for more effective language education accessible to all learners. Recommendations are presented for interdisciplinary research and purposeful implementation. This pioneering model establishes theoretical foundations for the next generation of equitable, empowering personalized language learning systems.

Use of the “I-as-Project” magazine by university students
Abstract
Successfully overcoming the challenges dictated by time, being adaptive, flexible and effective in all spheres of life is possible through self-development skills or “self-skills”. Technological solutions of personal growth journals, in which self-improvement is achieved through goal-setting, planning and reflection, can be an effective tool for the personal development of students at the university. Tomsk State Pedagogical University (TSPU) uses the magazine «I-as-a-Project» to support the personal development of students. It is an effective tool that helps students realize themselves as projects, plan their development and improvement. The journal allows students to define their goals and develop plans to achieve them, serves as a basis for their personal growth and success, enables participants in the educational process to track activity, analyze quantitative and qualitative changes in the work done, as well as evaluate the ratings of group members. As part of the educational process, the logbook can be used to track students’ progress, assess their learning outcomes and identify areas that require additional attention. This allows students to analyze their progress, identify problems and look for ways to solve them. In research activities, the journal can serve as a tool for recording, analyzing and evaluating research results, formulating ideas and planning future work. It is also useful for self-reflection, self-monitoring and identifying areas for further development. Within the framework of scientific research, the journal can be used as a tool for determining the level of personal development of students on the basis of statistical processing of quantitative data. The use of the journal «I-as-a-Project» contributes to the formation of active subjective position of the student in the educational and professional context, which is an important factor of successful personal development and professional growth.

PSYCHOLOGY
Life models analysis as a method of researching domestic violence
Abstract
Existing instruments for studying the experience of domestic violence may not be sufficiently adapted to capture the diverse aspects of the phenomenon. Such an instrument should be oriented to contemporary cultural and social contexts, allowing for a full exploration of the effects of disruptive experiences in different areas of a person’s life. The article is a theoretical analysis of the problem of domestic violence research. The paper presents a developed research design based on the concept of life patterns and two key components – existential guilt and lost Possible Selves. The paper concludes with empirical data from a pilot study as an illustration of the proposed design. The pilot study involved 20 participants; the criterion for selecting respondents was the fact of having experienced domestic violence by a sibling. The results were based on the selected methods: “Methodology for determining general and social self-efficacy”, “Diagnostics of interpersonal relations”, “Interpersonal relations questionnaire”, “Life orientations” questionnaire, as well as “Possible Self Diagnostic Methodology”. The data were processed using comparative, correlation, discriminant and regression analyses. The study showed high sensitivity to the developed research design and allowed to identify the group of respondents with experience of domestic violence through the specifics of their life patterns, which differ from the group of respondents without experience of violence. For example, respondents with experience of domestic violence have a greater need for emotional and psychological support from family, social groups and communities, compared to respondents without such experience, who tend to be independent.

Emotional intelligence and intelligent risk assessment: a typological approach
Abstract
The study of emotional and cognitive aspects of regulating human behavior in risk situations is an urgent task of modern psychology. The study of the construct “emotional intelligence” proved the significance of this phenomenon in the context of the development of human resources in connection with the tasks of professional, educational and everyday life. The links between emotional intelligence and cognitive risk assessments allow us to identify resources for stress coping and self-efficacy in the context of various social practices. The aim of our research was to develop a modified EmIn questionnaire, study the relationships between emotional intelligence indicators and intellectual risk assessment to describe the typological features of modern students. The following methods were used in the study: the Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (EmIn) by D. V. Lyusin, Risk Intelligence Scale (SRIS) (G. Craparo, P. Magnano, A. Paolillo, V. Costantino, 2018, adaptation by T. V. Kornilova, E. M. Pavlova, 2020). The results of the study demonstrate good psychometric characteristics of the modified version of the EmIn questionnaire. The typology of modern student youth is described from the point of view of the specifics of the formation of personal resources for emotional and cognitive regulation of behavior associated with risk situations. The results of the study, including a modified version of the EmIn questionnaire, as well as the identified typological features of young people can be used by psychologists in studying the problematic aspects of human interaction with situations of uncertainty in the modern transitive world.

Models of the Self in foreign psychology
Abstract
The models of Self created in foreign psychology are considered. Their place is taken into account in broader theories to classify models of the Self. For this purpose, larger theories are divided into groups. They were separated and refined by psychodynamic, behavioral, cognitive, socio-psychological, narrative and existential-humanistic models of the Self. In psychodynamic models, the Self refers to the areas of consciousness and subconscious, considering them together. In this case, the Self differentiates and splits through divergence and fragmentation, or, conversely, deals with convergence and the emergence of a holistic Self. Behavioral patterns demonstrate a behavioral view of the Self. It included the Self as ongoing activity, including external behavior, verbal behavior and internal activity. Cognitive models refer to descriptions, prescriptions, and expectations about qualities and goals associated with a person’s sense of self. The cognitive self is a filter of incoming information. Social psychological models view the Self as subject and object, a relationship through which the Self is separated from itself. In narrative models, the Self concerns life stories that reconstruct the past and address the present and imagined future in unity. These are people’s stories about themselves. Existential-humanistic models deal with the Self, which tends to actualize itself. This leads to differentiation, symbolization and experience. A common feature of all models of the Self is their fragmentation. The prospect of their integration points to a hopeful future.

The role of psychological well-being and social support in coping with negative stresses with high school students
Abstract
The article analyzes the study of high school students’ psychological well-being and their perceived social support as resources of coping behavior in situations of stress. The sample consisted of 107 high school students 16-17 years old (52 boys and 55 girls). Methods: Scale of Perceived Stress-10, Adolescent Coping Scale (ACS), Ryffs Scales of Psychological Well-being, Questionnaire of social support of G. Sommer and T. Fydrich. Descriptive statistics in groups divided by gender, correlation and regression analysis were analyzed. Results: Common factors of perceived stress, coping behavior, psychological well-being and social support, as well as gender characteristics and differences are demonstrated. Young males were more likely to demonstrate autonomy, competence and higher levels of self-acceptance. At the same time, all adolescents note the availability of social support. Girls are more stressed compared to their male peers, and they have to make more efforts to cope with it. Girls are more likely to use emotionally stressful coping strategies, whereas males are more likely to use problem-oriented and external social resources. The positive role of psychological well-being and social support for the possibility of efficient coping with stresses, as well as the targets of psychological influence and correction have been found. Instrumental support, manifested in an advice, effective or material assistance, as the provision of a ready-made solutions that do not require the teenager’s own efforts, can lead to the strengthening of the use of unproductive coping strategies.

Psychological factors in the development of intercultural competence of foreign students
Abstract
Globalization processes in modern times are characterized by high intensity and versatility. The primary elements of globalization are the people inhabiting the planet. Among students, intercultural exchange is especially intense and complex. A big problem for students is combining efforts to develop intercultural competence with mastering the main educational program at an educational institution. The purpose of this study is to determine the essence and characteristics of psychological factors in the development of intercultural competence of foreign students. The scientific novelty of the work lies in considering and proposing the use of an integrated approach to stimulating the development of intercultural competencies, which requires simultaneously maintaining interest in a new culture, motivation to get to know it and, at the same time, recognition of the uniqueness of the socio-cultural experience of foreign students, providing them opportunities to show off your personality. A separate task is to suppress the formation of small ethnic groups in cases when belonging to such a group interferes with the student’s process of acculturation in a new environment. In general, the formation of intercultural competence does not come down to specific actions, but requires comprehensive provision of psychological comfort in a new environment. On the one hand, students are faced with academic pressure, on the other hand, the new environment poses challenges and raises questions for students. The success of developing intercultural competence depends equally on several subjects – first of all, on foreign students themselves, as independent individuals and people belonging to their own culture, on the staff of the educational institution and its students, as well as on society as a whole, as a broader environment into which the international student arrives.

Studying the characteristics of the emotional state of employees of construction sector enterprises working in the region bordering the military conflict zone
Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the emotional state of specialists working in the region bordering the Northern Military District zone. The purpose of the study was to identify the characteristics of the emotional state, the degree of neuropsychic stress and mechanisms of coping behavior of employees of construction sector enterprises working in the region bordering the special military operation zone. The following methods were used: “Current state” (L. V. Kulikov), “Determination of neuropsychic stress” (T. Nemchin), “Methods of coping behavior” (R. Lazarus). The study involved 50 employees of the Regional state budgetary institution “Capital Construction Department of the Belgorod Region”, aged 22-45 years with work experience from 3 to 25 years, as well as 30 employees of a construction company from another region (Lipetsk Region). The work analyzes the connections and patterns of influence of coping behavior on the current emotional state and the degree of neuropsychic stress. It is concluded that construction sector specialists working in border areas are faced with factors that cause significant and moderate neuropsychic stress; the predominance of maladaptive strategies for coping with everyday stressful situations leads to an increase in the level of negative emotions. Since the current mental state, coping strategies and the level of neuropsychic stress are interconnected, forming adaptive coping strategies, it is possible to have a positive impact on the current mental state and the level of neuropsychic stress in specialists.
