Abstract: The article is devoted to the methodological foundation of social and pedagogical support of a family that has acquired a new role in the modern world, this is to design a child's individual educational trajectory. The authors have analyzed the definition of social and pedagogical support of family, how it relates to similar definitions that describe the development of family's educational potential and family-and-school partnership. The authors analyze modern approaches to the analysis, essence, methodological and technological characteristics of social and pedagogical support of a family. They describe an educational situation of a modern family that is characterized with the shift of the emphasis from transmission of experience to selection of child's individual educational trajectory. From this point of view, social and pedagogical support of a modern family is described as a socially projected highly organized practice. The authors also focus on the methodoloogy and technology of social and pedagogical support of a family as a subject of designing child's individual educational trajectory and conclude that current methodological foundations and concepts do not reflect the depth and complexity of a situation of a modern family viewed from the point of view of its readiness to be a subject that designs child's individual educational trajectory. One of the main trends that reinforces the role of famly in the educational process is individualisation of education.

Abstract: The authors of this article analyze the procedure for checking graduation qualification works for the volume of borrowing. Graduation qualification work (thesis) is the final stage of education and the means of control over competences learnt by a student throughout his or her studies at a University. The aim of the research is to develop the e-library system that would allow to define independent efforts of students, compliance of a thesis to particular requirements and observation of intellectual property rights. The authors describe the e-library system Bank of VKR developed at Bauman Moscow State Technical University . This system allows to check the accuracy of theses, analyzes the structure of the research, number of bibliographical sourced used by a researcher and references inside text. The system offered different ways of checking a thesis for borrowings. The main contribution of the authors to the development and implementation of the e-library system Bank of VKR is that they provide an opportunity not only to define the borrowing volume but also find references to the sources of borrowings and to check the structure and accuracy of a thesis as well as to discover texts that do not correlate to the matter of the research.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the cognitive interest of students as one of the most important terms of professional activity of a school teacher and university professor from both practical and theoretical points of view. The efficiency of teaching efforts in many ways depends on whether students are interested in the discipline or not and how well they understand it. The object of the research is analogies as one of the didactical means that can be used to raise the cognitive interest of students. In teaching activity, analogies are a specifically presented theoretical illustration of the material given by a teacher. The authors of the article analyze analogy as a didactical means used to teach such university disciplines as philosophy, philosophy of cognition, history and philosophy of science and logic. As a didactical means, analogies are viewed as illustration of concepts and interaction between these concepts, for example, empirical and theoretical levels, description and explanation, verification principle and falsification principle, cumulativism and anticumulativism, scientism and antiscientism, truth and interpretation. One of the main conclusions that is of special theoretical and practical importance and constitutes the novelty of the research is the proof of educational irreplaceability and pedagogical efficiency of such didactical means as analogy. In varied theoretical contexts, analogy helps to make complex things simplier, unclear things more understandable, complicated things more clearer and thus raise the level of the cognitive interest of students and motivate them for studying 'boring' disciplines.

Abstract: The object of the research is interlanguage interference as one of a normal effect in teaching and learning foreign languages. The subject of the research is the specifics of this interference that can be used to teach Spanish to students who have already learnt English. The authors analyze the process of teaching the second foreign language as a pedagogical process which differs from the process of teaching the first foreign language fundamentally. The authors focus on the relationship between English and Spanish language systems and whether it is possible to develop a critical thinking based on teaching a foreign language. The research methods used by the authors included general research methods and special research methods. General research methods clarify the role of teaching the second foreign language in general, special research methods explain specifics of teaching Spanish based on English and interlanguage interference that arises in this process. The authors conclude that from the methodological point of view it is possible not only to minimize interlanguage interference but also develop a critical thinking on this basis which is very important in the era of 'instrumental' ideas in language education caused by pragmatic communicative concepts. Along with a detailed analysis of opportunities for working with linguistic materials based on a rarely taught language, this makes the novelty of this research.

Abstract: The subject of the research is the application of techniques and methods of formative assessment at lessons of literary reading for the purpose of developing full-fledged perception of literary works by elementary school students. For the first time in the academic literature, Skripova analyzes the influence of techniques and methods of formative assessment on the development of full-fledged perception of a literary work. Formative assessment makes the process of analysis and interpretation of literary texts easier for elementary school students. School students learn to control and evaluate their actions, to analyze what they learn and to work with text. Thus, application of formative assessment methods allows to develop self-control and self-assessment of their reading skills that describe the full-fledged perception of a literary text. The methodological framework of the research includes the ideas of M. Voyushina about elementary literary education and literary development of elementary school students, level-based approach to explaining peculiarities of perception of literary works offered by N. Moldavskaya, M. Voyushina and the concept of formative assessment of M. Pinskaya. The research methods include analysis of research literature, pedagogical experiment, mathematical processing methods, etc. The results of pedagogical experiment demonstrate that implementation of formative assessment methods in the process of teaching literary reading ensures positive dynamics of the development of capability to full-fledged perception. The research materials can be of interest for specialists of elementary literary education.
