Introduction. In the process of developing distance learning and changing the forms of educational materials used in different countries, there are such problems as the lack of direct communication, insufficient control of the educational process and low motivation. The effectiveness of the guiding and orienting influences of the teacher, his/her professional and creative teaching methods is decreasing. As a result, the implementation of cognitive learning activities by students becomes more difficult, and the dependence of its results on self-organisation and self-control increases. These problems are inherent in distance learning in many countries, including the Russian Federation, where a network of federal innovation platforms is being created to improve distance learning and to promote educational innovations. The hypothesis assumes the expediency of research and applied development of universal methods and means to reduce negative phenomena in distance learning.Aim. The present research aims to study the methods and means of additional presentation of the plan of educational activity and the results of its implementation in the form of visual didactic regulators; to create software and methodological tools for the introduction of regulators in distance learning; to experimentally test applied developments.Methodology and research methods. The study is based on the didactic principle of visibility, which is necessary to provide the student with information about the plan of the educational activity being performed and to present the results of its implementation in the form of visual regulators. Logical-semantic modelling of knowledge was used to design regulators; an integrated approach was applied in the development of software and methodological tools for the application of regulators. In the course of experimental testing (teachers of rural schools, teachers and students of the university), questionnaires, surveys and observations were carried out.Results and scientific novelty. An analysis of the work of teachers demonstrated the relevance of using visual aids with illustrative and reference properties in the context of distance learning. It is proposed to supplement the educational task in text form with a plan using a visual didactic regulator, and the results of the implementation of the plan in the accepted form should also be supplemented by a didactic regulator. The use of regulators contributes to the self-organisation and self-control of the student, the development of universal educational actions in the construction of regulators and in educational activities, the improvement of systematic thinking and the formation of models for the implementation of educational activities. Software and methodological tools are proposed to support the introduction of didactic regulators into distance learning.Practical significance. The developed didactic solutions and software methodology tools complement the means and methods of distance learning technology, make it possible to increase the effectiveness of communication between the teacher and the student, as well as the guiding, orienting influences of the teacher; allow to increase the dependence of learning out-comes on self-organisation and self-control of the student.

Professional training of music teacher is a versatile and creative process. It includes numerous areas, such as instrumental and vocal training, studying pedagogical technologies for working with children, studying masterpieces of world music art, and, certainly, studying digital resources and technologies. Digital education space is a digital environment integrating opportunities of digital education resources, computer-aided music technologies and tools, which is the basis in training music teacher. The importance of skills of setting as interactive accompaniment and basic user accompaniment in the form of phonogram is also stipulated by the specificity of accompaniment activity of music teacher as one of the major constituents of professional readiness. Imagination of music teacher as a concertmaster (accompanist of children singing) exerts the influence on whether he would be able by means of expressive playing and keyboard technique to underline and to support the temper of children singing, to present clearly and to reproduce instrument features by piano. That is, a music teacher should be aware of organology, know features of instrument sounding and peculiarities of various instruments. This is sufficiently aided by sequencer software with embedded banks of virtual tunes on synthesizer. In digital education space, video is presented as teaching aid for transfer of learning information, that is, it is considered as video aid, video device used for organization of education. Under existing conditions of distance learning, the interaction between teacher–choirmaster, teacher–vocalist, concertmaster, and students is supported by information and communication technologies. Therefore, mastering means and resources of digital education space is aimed at improved of professional training of future music teacher being the basis of formation of personal capabilities and skills of student.

The present research is aimed at identifying the quality of education from the perspective of students’ vision as participants in this educational process (according to the following criteria: fundamentality, sufficiency, modernity, level of digitalization of the quality of education), its impact on their educational level, and the study of students’ motivation to learn, based on their assessment of the content level of educational curricula. The main research method is a comparative sociological study, which compares the research data of students of the M. Akmulla Bashkir State Pedagogical University (BSPU) with the results of other monitoring studies conducted in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Bashkortostan. In addition to the questionnaire method, the focus group method was also used. The study revealed students’ attitudes to the quality of education, motivation to study, assessment of the content and quality of education, attitude to technologies, and learning conditions. According to the results of the 2019 study, 75% of students of BSPU were generally satisfied with the level of education quality. The novelty of the research is based on the following facts: quantitative parameters dominate over qualitative ones, which, as a result, leads to the information overload of the educational process subjects and a decrease in the level of competencies that determine the ability of students to think independently and analyze information.
