Fundamental government documents set the priority of the educational system in public policy, declaring the need for successful scientific and professional training and innovative educational activities of future specialists. The article is aimed to propose a solution to the formation of professional competence of future specialists of technical universities at the stage of modernization of education in modern Russian society. The work reveals the essence of the leading methodological approaches to solving the problem under study: competency, creative, personality-oriented, system-activity, technological, task-based approaches. A retrospective analysis made it possible to reveal the pedagogical conditions, simulating the real professional activity of students of a technical college. The ways of successful development of professional competence of future specialists are described (establishing innovative-creative environment; developing the subject position of a personality; strengthening practice-oriented activities; organizing reflection and self-reflection; using computing, information and telecommunication technologies, and systems; effective management of students' academic, scientific, and professional activities).

Background: Being an essential part of the educational process, blended learning still faces some problems concerning the interaction between teachers and students. They include a decrease in the level of knowledge and in the number of graduates as students experience a lack of live communication with the teacher, lack of sufficient experience of independent work, lack of interactive assessment. Aim: This study aimed to elaborate the model of enhanced feedback in an e-learning course, “Fundamentals of Molecular Physics and Thermodynamics,” to increase student educational achievements. Methods: The effectiveness of the model of enhanced feedback in the learning process was measured with the methodology for calculating statistical indicators of the quality of education: knowledge quality, level of student proficiency, progress, and average grade. To measure the emotional and evaluative attitude of students to educational activities and interaction with the teacher in an electronic course, a test-questionnaire satisfaction with learning activity was employed. Results and Discussion: the results of the initial and final control of the statistical indicators of the quality of education including knowledge quality, level of student proficiency, progress, and average grade in students showed a significant difference between the control and the experimental groups. At the end of the semester, the difference in knowledge quality was 23%, student proficiency level – 13%, progress – 3.5%, average grade – 0.6 scores. The analysis of student satisfaction with the learning process also confirms an increase in satisfaction with the learning process and with the interaction with the lecturer. Thus, the experimental methodology contributes to a significant improvement in the learning process results. Conclusions: The experiment demonstrated that replacing formative assessment with the model of enhanced feedback raises student educational achievements and compensates for lack of live communication with the teacher.

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of the formation of the values-based attitude of modern students to the future profession. Pedagogical ethics is the theoretical, methodological, and moral basis for the creation of prospective teachers’ humanistic values, which are considered “eternal” guidelines in vocational Periódico Tchê Química.

The urgency of the problem is justified by the modern requirements for professional education, which is aimed to improve a person’s individual qualities to form his innovative thinking and moral self-awareness. The purpose of the study was to consider the practicability of including the discipline "Pedagogical Ethics" in the curriculum of the training program "Pedagogical Education" as one of the essential components that create a moral basis for mastering the system of humanistic professional values and entering the professional community. The features of the development of the humanistic orientation of students' personality and the structure of their value sphere are described and the connections between various types of values, general orientation, creative component and self-esteem are revealed. The methods of humanization of the formation of young students’ personalities are proposed in the framework of the modern education system and social realities. The diagnostic results of advanced students presented in the paper make it possible to put forward a number of innovative tasks of vocational training and education at the university. In particular, the formation of professional competencies among students is associated with the need to master traditional humanistic values, which often do not coincide with the modern personal characteristics of future teachers. The development of values, the knowledge of the world and the formation of one’s image based on the culture of the society are becoming essential components of modern education and professional self-education.
