Abstract: The article discusses methods for developing media literacy as a key element of professional and civic preparation of individuals. The subject of the research is the process of forming media competencies in students within the system of professional education. Special attention is given to the analysis of effective educational methods, including lateral reading, project activities, media analysis, and visual learning tools. The authors view media literacy as a complex social-psychological and ethical phenomenon that influences an individual's ability to critically perceive information, resist misinformation, and consciously interact with the media environment. The article presents the results of international and domestic studies confirming the necessity of integrating media literacy into specialized academic disciplines. The special role of students’ self-efficacy and the importance of regular assessment of media competencies for sustainable development of critical thinking skills and digital responsibility are emphasized. Methods of analytical review of scientific literature, comparative analysis of international and domestic practices, as well as interpretation of the results of empirical and quasi-experimental studies are applied. Based on the studied practices, a set of tools and educational tasks for developing students' media literacy is proposed. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the systematization of current approaches to forming media literacy in the system of professional education, taking into account the digital transformation of the educational process and differences between humanitarian and engineering-technical training areas. The authors propose a comprehensive set of methods for developing media literacy within specialized disciplines through case methods, game technologies, lateral reading, and the use of digital tools for information verification. The necessity of developing not only cognitive skills for media analysis but also sustainable self-efficacy in students—confidence in their ability to recognize misinformation—is justified. It is concluded that only a comprehensive and adaptive approach, combining technological, ethical, and critical-analytical components, can ensure the development of full-fledged media competence. In conclusion, specific educational tasks are provided, describing objectives, stages, and expected outcomes.

Abstract: The article is dedicated to the analysis of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the field of artistic pedagogical education in the context of contemporary globalization and accelerated digitalization. It examines key historical, cultural, and pedagogical aspects of the interaction between the two largest countries, including the influence of the classical Soviet education system on the Chinese artistic school, as well as current modern trends such as the integration of digital technologies and artificial intelligence, interdisciplinary approaches, cross-cultural studies, academic exchanges, and internships. Particular attention is paid to the detailed comparative analysis of pedagogical practices in Russia and China, systematically identifying their strengths and specific opportunities for mutual enrichment. The authors consider how traditional teaching methods blend organically with innovative approaches, as well as how cultural differences directly influence the formation of modern educational strategies. The study employs methods of historical-cultural analysis, comparative pedagogy, and a practice-oriented approach, including the development of educational programs and experimental learning. The research is based on the analysis of academic publications, educational standards, and real experiences of joint projects between Russian and Chinese universities. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the comprehensive examination and analysis of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the field of artistic pedagogical education at the present stage, including the development of adapted curricula and assessment criteria. The authors conclude that the integration of traditional and innovative methods, as well as the systematic strengthening of academic exchanges, contributes to the formation of a multicultural educational environment in the context of digital transformation. However, challenges remain, such as the difficult balance between tradition and modernization in practice, as well as the pressing need for further digitalization. Development prospects clearly include the expansion of joint programs, the use of VR/AR technologies, and the strengthening of interdisciplinary connections in the educational process. Further research in the integration of Russian and Chinese pedagogical practices will help to deepen the understanding of the mechanisms of cultural exchange and its impact on enriching the artistic education of both countries, with the aim of developing significant professional competencies and strengthening the sociocultural identity of future specialists. Thus, it is particularly important for both countries to continue the dialogue of cultures within new formats of cooperation to successfully respond to the challenges associated with the internationalization of education.

Abstract: The subject of the study is the process of reading choral scores during the course "Reading Choral Scores" in the field of "Art of Folk Singing," which involves its multifaceted exploration and the implementation of a whole range of combined and interrelated actions. On one hand, it is a detailed analytical perception of the sign-based notation system on a physical level, the pre-hearing of the read musical text by the inner ear, control and adjustment of the accuracy of the sound by the outer ear during reproduction, and a balanced application of technical skills in piano playing. On the other hand, it is a holistic perception of the development of melody, rhythm, and harmony of the choral score in the context of the folk song genre, the understanding of the formative elements and the inclusion of the song example in the traditional ritual complex, which contributes to the creation of an organic artistic image and the correct choice of performing techniques. The methodology of the research employs scientific methods related to the analysis of theoretical knowledge and its practical comprehensive application in the process of reading choral scores. The hermeneutic, formulaic, musicological analysis method, and practical method are considered. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the process of reading the score is viewed not as a set of technical actions for reproducing the musical text on the piano but as a deep multi-level process that requires a range of professional knowledge, including from various fields of science that go beyond musical art—philosophy, cultural studies. The practical application of the hermeneutic method allows for studying the choral score by examining the peculiarities of its performance through the lens of authenticity while employing modern performing means. Immersion in the context of the folkloric-ethnographic complex through a formulaic method specific to folk singing helps to identify melismatic-rhythmic and poetic "formulas" in folklore samples that attune to the required emotional state and mode of intonation. Examples of structural elements in the analysis of traditional Russian folk songs are presented, including folk song examples from the Siberian region. The important role of using the traditional song folklore of the Russian people as the basis of the educational repertoire in training choirmasters of folk singing groups is noted. The authors have gathered folk song materials in published manuals. The prospects of using a comprehensive approach to reading choral scores in conjunction with the possibilities of modern computer technologies are argued.

Abstract: The article is dedicated to determining the prospects for using training process programming techniques for functional multitasking AMRAP and AFAP to develop professionally significant physical qualities of students in the educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. The subject of the research is the programming techniques of functional multitasking AMRAP and AFAP, accepted for integration into the educational process with cadets and students of educational organizations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia (based on the example of the Ryazan branch of the Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia named after V.Ya. Kikot). The choice of the research subject is determined by the fact that, in conditions of staff shortages, the requirements for the physical fitness level of law enforcement personnel do not decrease. At the same time, introducing competitive elements into the educational process and the necessary incentives for self-improvement can be achieved through such a relatively young sport as functional multitasking, which is based on the use of various movements with one's own body weight, free weights, and cyclical movements. The author proposes specific options for constructing training complexes based on these techniques, considering the available time period and material and technical support. Two groups of students (15 and 16 people) participated in the experiment for their implementation, and a control assessment was conducted based on the total points obtained from two control exercises for strength and speed. The results of the conducted experiment confirm a significant increase in the total points of the subjects obtained from the performance of the two control exercises for strength and speed compared to students who are subject to traditional approaches to the development of physical qualities (ranging from 30 to 63 points versus a range from 4 to 26 points). The author demonstrates that programming the training process based on the AMRAP and AFAP techniques allows for tangible results in terms of accelerated comprehensive development of significant physical qualities of strength and speed without allocating additional training time, special equipment, and/or significant restructuring of training principles. The novelty of the research is determined by the fact that the solution proposed by the author not only takes into account the specifics of organizing the educational process in departmental universities but is also aimed at the consistent application of the principles of the chosen methodology and the characteristics of functional multitasking as a sport.

Abstract: The article examines the formation of students' critical thinking in the context of the information society. It discusses the cognitive and behavioral components of critical thinking. Emphasis is placed on identifying factors that hinder the development of students' analytical and reflective abilities in the modern educational environment, including information overload, clip-based perception, multitasking, and the impact of digital distractions. The influence of the digital environment on learners' cognitive processes is analyzed, revealing contradictions between students' information consumption habits and the objectives of professional education. Special attention is given to how the digital transformation of the educational space affects the ways of obtaining, processing, and critically evaluating information. Key issues related to students' inability to adequately assess the credibility of internet content are highlighted, along with systemic reasons for the low level of critical thinking development, supported by the results of international and domestic sociological studies. The work employs methods of theoretical analysis, generalization of scientific literature, a comparative approach, and interpretation of data from domestic and foreign studies, surveys, and pedagogical experiments conducted from 2018 to 2023. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the comprehensive study of modern challenges in the digital educational environment as factors that simultaneously hinder and stimulate the development of critical thinking. The impact of clip-based thinking, information overload, and digital multitasking on students' cognitive activities is substantiated. A typology of effective pedagogical practices that help overcome the negative effects of digitalization is presented. The effectiveness of specific pedagogical approaches—such as project activities, case methods, educational debates, media literacy development, and online discussions—is justified. Practical recommendations for fostering critical thinking are proposed, including the integration of digital technologies into active learning forms, the development of metacognitive skills, and the cultivation of a reflective culture among students. The authors conclude that the development of students' critical thinking requires a systematic revision of the educational paradigm—from a transmissive model to a research-oriented one. Despite the negative influences of the digital environment, it can be utilized as a resource. It is shown that the effectiveness of such methodologies increases with pedagogical support focused on developing independence, media literacy, and the ability to ask questions.

Abstract: This article examines the issue of violin education in the People's Republic of China from the point of view of theory and practice. A historical excursion is conducted and a retrospective of the formation of professional university violin education in China is given. The educational process in the leading conservatories of China is studied on the example of programs, as well as the activities of teachers and professors. The author comes to the conclusion that due to the application of the principle of continuity of pre-university and university levels of violin playing in China, Chinese violin art by the turn of the XX-XXI centuries not only reached the world level, but became one of the brightest, independent and deeply original areas of the world violin art. The article uses theoretical methods of research: analysis, synthesis, classification of the results obtained, as well as the method of generalization. The violin is one of the most popular European musical instruments in China, so many people want to master this instrument. There are so many applicants that there are not enough educational institutions for them, which operate only on the territory of large cities. In this regard, private music education is widespread in China. In parallel with the formation of the performing arts, the technique of playing the violin has received multilateral development and scientific justification. The development of Russian and European teaching systems has become the basis of the Chinese methodological system adapted for China and taking into account the individual characteristics of students. Thanks to the application of the principle of continuity of pre-university and university levels of violin playing in China, Chinese violin art by the turn of the XX-XXI centuries not only reached the world level, but became one of the brightest, independent and deeply original areas of world violin art.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the problem of scientific mentoring in the higher education system. Research activities are an integral part of university education. The teaching staff of higher educational institutions is represented by scientific and pedagogical workers, the reproduction of human resources for this system requires active involvement in research activities, supporting postgraduate students. To ensure continuity, it is necessary to include students in this activity, only a successful process of scientific socialization during the years of study is able to ensure the subsequent professional realization of young specialists in the higher education system. Scientific mentoring can be implemented in various forms. The choice of the option depends on the target audience, specialty, course of study, established traditions, individual psychological and pedagogical characteristics of students, features of the professional trajectory of students. A survey of students of higher educational institutions and teaching staff was used as research methods. When working with the heads of structural divisions, the method of in-depth interview was chosen. The main conclusions of the conducted research are: high assessment of the importance of scientific mentoring by all participants of the survey. Among the most important qualities of mentors is a good command of their field of knowledge and the ability to intelligibly convey this knowledge to students. The teaching staff faces a number of organizational, methodological and informational difficulties in implementing the function of scientific mentors. The implementation of this activity is dominated by short trajectories of scientific leadership of students. In most cases, the mentor provides guidance as part of the preparation of articles. Heads of departments and deans among the barriers to the development of the mentoring system testify of a weak starting level of students, a low level of motivation of teachers.
