Introduction. The changes that have occurred in recent years in Russian society have had a negative impact on the formation of spiritual and moral orientations and values of young students, and in general on the development of the personality of a modern growing person. Increasingly, the idols of young people are bloggers who demonstrate and popularize deviant behavior, lack of spirituality, immorality, lack of citizenship. The development of media education, information, spiritual, linguistic security, according to the authors, contribute to civic maturation and the formation of young students in a new, rather aggressive, cultural and information space, which today is becoming one of the most important means of managing the spiritual and moral basis of human life.Materials and Methods. Theoretical methods: comparative analysis of philosophical, psychological, pedagogical, methodological literature; method of scientific synthesis of factual materials. The methodological basis consists of systemic, personal-activity and cultural approaches.Results. The scientific research reveals the goals and functions of the Center for Spiritual and Moral Education and Civic Education and the Information Center.Discussion and Conclusions. The organization of work on the formation of students' spiritual and moral qualities of personality should be carried out in the context of spiritual, media security, psychological, linguistic security.

The article presents the results of a study of the formation of the competencies of future teachers in the context of the implementation of the pedagogical potential of applied folk art in the upbringing of rural schoolchildren; a model of a didactic system for the formation of competencies in future teachers was determined, the basis for the development of which was such philosophical and psychological-pedagogical ideas as: the idea of developing rural school, the idea of continuous education, the idea of personality development, the idea of creativity and creative activity, the idea of personality socialization, the idea of humanization education; disclosed their content, substantiated their significance in developing the concept of a didactic system for the formation of competencies in future teachers of rural school, the implementation of which makes it possible to use the pedagogical potential of applied folk art effectively in upbringing of rural schoolchildren.

The article is devoted to the organization of independent work of students enrolled in the direction of teacher training based on web quests. An example of an educational web quest for the 3rd year is the “Inclusive School”. One of the leading directions of development of the system of higher pedagogical education is the strengthening of the practice-oriented orientation of the study of disciplines, including the educational cycle. This concerns not only an increase in the share of active and interactive methods in teaching, an increased attention to organizing and conducting internships in educational institutions, but also a change in the approach to organizing independent work of bachelor students. Much attention is increasingly given to increasing the level of information and communication competence of future teachers (electronic libraries and educational Internet portals are the main source of educational information for modern students), it is advisable to use information and communication technologies as an organizational and substantive basis for independent work. This approach to the organization of independent work involves the development of tasks by teachers using Internet technologies, which, depending on the type of task, can be performed online or offline. Tasks for independent work can be directed to an independent search in the network with the subsequent processing of information about a specific problem; on the organization of interaction in the network; create web pages; conduct educational research, social or educational projects. The forms for presenting the results may also vary: text documents (with hyperlinks), databases of multimedia presentations, web pages, web quests. Particular attention, in our opinion, should be paid to teaching real web quests. A web quest is considered as an activity-oriented didactic model that provides for students' independent search work on the Internet. As a form of organizing independent work, a web quest has several advantages, including: increased student motivation; activation of individual or group activities; more efficiently use the understanding of the time allotted for independent work of students; the ability to not only integrate different types of assignments and forms of providing results, but also to vary the level of difficulty of the task for independent work, the duration of implementation, the number of performers.

Introduction. The relevance of studying the socio-psychological characteristics of modern children and adolescents is associated with the processes of globalization, informatization, digitalization of modern society in relation to the education system in general and the personality of a modern schoolboy in particular. In this article, an attempt is made to present a socio-psychological portrait of a modern schoolboy, to determine the role of a teacher in the digital educational environment, as well as the possibilities of his professional and personal growth in the conditions of digitalization by analyzing and systematizing the results of theoretical and experimental research on the problem.Materials and Methods. This article uses an analytical approach to the consideration of modern domestic and foreign studies, which allows to identify the positive and negative sides of the digitalization of the modern education system. We focused on scientific articles, monographs, teaching aids, dissertation studies containing the results of theoretical and experimental studies of various aspects of this problem.Results. As the analysis of the literature has shown, the studies of foreign authors widely cover this problem from the perspective of the "theory of generations", while domestic research is largely based on the methodology of domestic psychology. In the Russian psychological literature, a number of studies are devoted to the study of the socio-psychological characteristics of modern adolescents, in particular, the system of value orientations, attitudes to educational activities, socialization, including using social networks, adaptability to the conditions of the educational environment, but such studies are insufficient due to the complexity of the studied issues and the constantly changing conditions of the social life of a modern student.Discussion and Conclusions. The discussion of issues related to the socio-psychological characteristics of a modern schoolboy in the conditions of digitalization of the system of national education invariably rests on the need to find forms, methods, means of organizing effective school education and assumes that teachers of the general education system have a minimum of psychological knowledge about age and individual psychological patterns of the development of the psyche of a younger schoolboy and a teenager, the formation of his personality.
