FROM THE EDITORS

Published online on: 09/22/2017.

The autumn edition opens with an article of commemoration of Professor Ekaterina Aleksandrovna Maralova, who passed away in June 2017. Ekaterina Aleksandrovna herself embodied the ideals of continuous professional and personal growth through training. Many years she was developing the scientific and practical basis for their implementation. In recent years, she actively participated in the work of the Association of Professors of Slavic Countries and the editorial board of the journal "Continuing Education: The 21st Century."

    In the 19th issue of our journal, the problem of interaction between pedagogical science and educational practice is posed in a discussion manner. Against this background, articles devoted to the experience of studying the daily activities of the teacher and reflecting on the use of new forms of pedagogical interaction at different stages of continuous education acquire special relevance.

   One of the central themes of this issue is the problem of education design with an emphasis on the creative potential of project practices. On specific examples, the using of projects games as a source of development of motivation for creativity also cultural-educational project for teenagers as a promising form of organization of non-formal education are analyzed. Against the backdrop of social psychology and psychotherapeutic practices related to the theater, the possibility of using theatrical and stage forms in modern education was considered within the framework of the communicative competencies and the competence in the field of conflictology.

   It will be interesting for the readers to get acquainted with the organizing and transforming university teaching by the teachers of PetrSU and colleagues from other countries. So, in the context of the teacher’s of the Karelian language training, the significance of the contribution of the regional university to the development of the small ethnos is shown. New approaches to learning are presented in articles fromBelarusandDonetskon the example of searching for the principles of creating variable curriculum for future doctors and the development of consulting services at a pedagogical university. Also, readers will be able to learn about the specifics of the organization of the educational process in the modern system of higher technical education inFinland.

   Based on the neologisms that appear in the pedagogical lexicon, we continue to discuss the topic of the quality of modern scientific publications. The problem of imitation of publication activity develops in this issue by the author from Canada within the framework of “copy-paste phenomenon,” – the copying of someone else's texts, normative-legal and other documents, the result of which is the appearance and publication of pseudoscientific text that does not contain either novelty or authorship.

  In the new academic year we wish you an interesting pedagogical reading and congratulate all our authors and readers on the World Teacher's Day, established by UNESCO, which is celebrated on October 5th in most countries of the world.
