Dear authors and readers,We are happy to welcome you to a new academic year and wish you not only success in your pedagogic activities and effective development of new scientific trends but  also great patience!

You will need it!

The most part of a new (autumn) issue is devoted to the problems of digital education, the discussion being brought out in connection with pandemic.  Educators emotional response on mandated transition to distant education and even certain euphoria from acquisition of the new ways of learning is being gradually declined. There comes a point when serious comprehension of all research and learning aspects such as philosophic, psychological, and pedagogical in new reality is needed. Two main ideas seem to be put a special attention on. The first one has been already discussed in our journal. This is the idea of blended (hybrid) learni

ng with the help of which it is possible to keep the best from traditional education and ensure the effective ways of digital learning. Another idea is connected with the necessity to create and introduce "new didactics" under conditions of blended learning. Unfortunately, nowadays instructors have to use old ways of educations. Traditional lecture online may serve as an example; it's highly unlikely that the lecture of this kind will be similarly effective without real-life communication. To create new didactics it is necessary to study and give scientific validation of different specific ways, forms, methods, and techniques in the field of learning.  In some articles you can find the result discussion of this kind of research.

In modern society the lifelong learning competence is positioned as the leading one and even as the only one existing. In the article dedicated to the system independent student work the development of cognitive competence is viewed as the development of the most significant component of lifelong learning competence.

            The integration problem in learning is rather multilateral. The rational for this problem and the result analysis of its introduction in a specific field, namely the interdepartmental integration into the moral and aesthetic education for preschool students is presented in one of the articles.

            The other article published in the section of educational management deals with applied aspects of forming and development personal brand of a teacher, another one discusses the problems of learning availability for persons with disabilities in the norms of international law. We would like to remind the readers that similar issues in the system of lifelong learning in Russia have been considered in our journal.

            The labor market study is directly connected with forcast change in the sphere of vocational education system.  Under conditions of qualified personnel shortage and migrant outflow in Arctic zone of Russia, the issue of personnel training is the matter of current interest. In the article the vocational education system potential at the account of their own "regional capital" - graduates of schools in grades 9 and 11 is shown.

We would like to draw the potential authors attention to the journal remit (lifelong learning) and to ask them to keep in line with the article requirements.

Congratulations to all the colleagues with World Teachers' Day! We wish you new creative achievements in the field of lifelong learning and expect new materials to publish.
