The practical implications of the study lie in identifying the distinctive features of teachers’ and students’ educational activities at ASAU during the pandemic. These results can be adapted and implemented in the system of prospective engineers’ training in other regional universities in the north-east of Russia.

В статье предпринята попытка осмысления факторов, оказывающих влияние на формирование готовности студентов к семейной жизни. Обозначены наиболее существенные трудности, которые испытывает современная семья. Представлены эмпирические данные выявления уровня субъективного контроля (локуса контроля) студенческой молодежи по следующему алгоритму: изучение общей интернальности / экстернальности, исследование локуса контроля в области межличностных и семейных отношений, выявление особенностей мотивации (стремление к достижению успеха – преобладание мотива избегания неудач). На основе представленного диагностического исследования выявлены основные трудности, с которыми сталкиваются молодые люди при локализации контроля в области личных и семейных отношений, в сфере принятия ответственных решений; а также предложены пути формирование ценностного отношения молодых людей к семье и браку. The authors attempt to analyze the factors influencing the formation of students’ readiness for family life. The article outlines the most considerable difficulties faced by a modern family. It presents the empirical data on researching the level of subjective control (locus of control) of student youth according to the following algorithm: studying general internality and externality, studying locus of control in the area of interpersonal and family relations, and revealing peculiarities of motivation (striving for success or avoiding failures). Based on the presented research, the authors reveal the main difficulties faced by young people during localization of control in interpersonal and family relations. Finally, the article suggests the ways of forming young people’s value attitude to family and marriage.

The article deals with a topical problem – the development of distance education in the context of modern society’s digitalization. This problem is considered in view of the growing importance of electronic educational resources (EER) to increase the educational process efficiency through a remote interactive mode. The analysis of the given results helped to highlight the current problems of modern education in a distance format: the lack of contact interaction between the participants, which allows implementing a differentiated approach and solve educational problems; compliance  with the mandatory requirements of distance education by students (student’s rigid self-discipline and high motivation); free access to EER; an increase in the number of independent tasks and the absence of constant feedback from students, etc. To solve the mentioned problems, it is necessary to ensure the organization of the educational process aimed to develop students’ sustainable interest in learning.
