The population of the Colorado potato beetle is characterized by a high degree of polymorphism. This polymorphism provides a considerable adaptive potential and ubiquity of this species. The variability of the central pronotal pattern under the influence of habitat-forming factors (geographical location of the population, variety of fodder plant, group of insecticides) is considered in this paper. Differences in agrobiocenotic conditions determine a direction of microevolution changes and lead to disintegration of the intra-species structure of Leptinotarsa decemlineata. Evaluation of the phenotypic polymorphism in the Colorado potato beetle populations in the Kursk Region was performed by several indicators: ratio of nine main pronotum’s morphs, average number of variations (μ), share of the rare forms (h), populations similarity index (r) and identity criteria (I). In various parts of the Kursk Region from 7 to 9 pattern protonum phenoforms were encountered with varying frequency in the populations. The predominance of the 9-phenoform in the beetle populations was identified in the Rylsky, Oktyabrsky, Lgovsky districts. The 3-phenomorf prevailed in populations of Pristensky and Manturovsky districts. The highest level of a phenotypical polymorphism of a protonum was observed in the population in the Lgovsky district, the lowest level was detected in Manturovsky district. The comparative analysis of phenotypic structure of the investigated Colorado beetle populations showed that despite a spatial isolation the insect populations of the Rylsky and Pristensky districts are characterized by the highest similarity in pattern of variability of the central part of a pronotum. The obtained results will enable to improve the system of the plant protection against Colorado potato beetle and control its population.

The paper deals with naturalized alien plants in Penza Region. There are 75 naturalized alien plant species in the flora of the Penza Region, the most dangerous for natural ecosystems of them are 10 transformers species (Acer negundo, Bidens frondosa, Echinocystis lobata, Elaeagnus angustifolia, Elodea canadensis, Fraxinus lanceolata, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Phalacroloma seplentrionale, Salix euxina, Ulmus pumila), 20 alien species, actively settled and invasive in semi-natural and natural habitats (Amelanchier spicata, Conyza canadensis, Cuscuta campestris, Echinochloa crusgalli, Epilobium adenocaulon, Epilobium pseudorubescens, Geranium sibiricum, Heracleum sosnowskyi, Helianthus subcanescens, Hippophaë rhamnoides, Impatiens glandulifera, Juncus tenuis, Malus domestica, Oenothera villosa s.l., Parthenocissus inserta, Phragmites altissimus, Sambucus racemosa, Sambucus sibirica, Solidago canadensis s.l., Xanthium albinum), 45 alien species, invasive and settled at present in disturbed habitats (Acroptilon repens, Amaranthus albus, Amaranthus blitoides, Amaranthus retroflexus, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Ambrosia trifida, Anisantha tectorum, Arrhenatherum elatius, Artemisia sieversiana, Atriplex tatarica, Bassia sieversiana, Berberis vulgaris, Cannabis ruderalis, Caragana arborescens, Cardaria draba, Centaurea diffusa, Chamomilla suaveolens, Crataegus monogyna, Cyclachaena xanthiifolia, Elsholtzia ciliata, Galega orientalis, Galinsoga quadriradiata, Galinsoga parviflora, Grindelia squarrosa, Gypsophila perfoliata, Hordeum jubatum, Impatiens parviflora, Kali collina, Lepidium densiflorum, Leymus racemosus, Lolium perenne, Lupinus polyphyllus, Oenothera biennis, Oenothera rubricaulis, Onobrychis viciifolia, Populus balsamifera, Portulaca oleracea, Robinia pseudoacacia, Senecio viscosus, Sisymbrium volgense, Symphyotrichum salignum s.l., Symphytum caucasicum, Typha laxmannii, Vinca minor, Xanthoxalis stricta).

The paper discusses issues related to the evaluation of the accumulated environmental damage, especially the elimination of consequences of negative impact on the environment. The authors enumerate the potential impact of oil products in soil on surrounding water bodies and groundwater. The problem of environmental damage consequences elimination for infrastructure companies of JSC Russian Railways is considered to be urgent. The authors investigated the object of accumulated environmental damage – oil contamination at residential area (near the Partisan ravine in Syzran, Samara Region) and discussed methods for its reduction and elimination. The authors registered underground pollution with oil products, which occurred due to the leakage of oil from storage tanks into the ground. The authors have analyzed the elimination activities on oil and oil products spill from underground tanks with a strategic reserve of fuel for the locomotive depot in Syzran. It is noted that the cleanup of soil and groundwater has been comprehensive. The authors come to the conclusion that it is possible to carry out efficient measures for accumulated environmental damage elimination.

This paper discusses the use of the rare flora component of Melekessky-Stavropol landscaped area as an indicator of anthropogenic transformation. The paper contains an ecological-floristic zoning of Melekessky-Stavropol landscaped area (lowland Trans-Volga) and the value of anthropogenic stress factors for each elementary floristic subarea and for the landscape area as a whole. The factors value due to non-equivalent sub-areas and lack of research is formalized and pointed. Relative factors values are compared to the total factor value for the landscape area. Rare flora component was studied and rarity species saturation was calculated, i.e. their number per unit area for each of the elementary floristic sub-areas. The authors revealed the dependence of rarity species saturation on the level of anthropogenic load in elementary subareas – the higher the rarity species saturation, the less anthropogenically transformed flora. A corresponding graph is presented and described in detail that makes it possible to estimate the anthropogenic transformation of flora, not only its active, dynamic components – alien flora, but also the degree of preservation of rare species.

The paper deals with the influence of avalanche streamer discharges on aqueous solutions of organic substances such as phenols, methyl-orange and simulating amino acid and protein compounds. Studies have shown the possibility of universal water purification when using gas-discharge decontamination technologies. Complex impact of discharge phenomena, physical and chemical factors, radiation at different frequencies of avalanche streamer discharge lead to degradation of organic and inorganic substances in water impurities. The most frequently used discharges for water purification are electrolyte (discharge in liquid), glow, corona, microwave-frequency discharge excitation in several GHz, barrier discharge and avalanche streamer discharge. It is shown that application of avalanche streamer discharges allows to undertake the decomposition of organic matter in water with decomposition in carbon compounds, gaseous components and water more efficiently and with low cost energy. Applying of a discharge technology is a promising direction of water treatment and industrial wastewater disposal technology development. Energy electric shock changes chemical characteristics of the treated water, affects its Ionic composition, structure of dissolved organic matter, viability of the microorganisms in water without additional chemical reagents.

Reproductive behavior of 25 background species leaf beetles was studied in the conditions of Samara Region during 1974–2014 (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae). Strategy of adult’s reproductive behavior, which fundamentally different from individuals of the opposite sex is a complex includes more than 60 types of locomotion behavioral reactions and aimed to attracting the active partner, usually the male, search and preparation of the female for the mate as final stage of the reproductive process. Adult-female undergoes five stages of reproductive transformation accompanied by 18 types of behavioral reactions after emergence. There are food of ripening, involvement of species-specific male of attractant, mating, ovulation and egg laying. Adult-male overcomes five stages too, provided almost by 30 types of behavioral reactions in the course of life. There are preparation, mating, and food maturation, search for females training females to mating, mating, and post-nuptial final cleaning. Temporal and physical resource of female and male survival in different situations, as well as time budgets, of both sexes daily activity at different stages of its generation cycle estimated. Occurrence of non-standard reproductive situations or failures, which are explained by objective reasons, for example errors in chemonavigation of males, violation of a genetically programmed sequence of stages of behavior, inconsistency sexual cycles of the partners discusses.

One of the ways to adapt to the changing parameters of the environment is behavioral adaptation. The paper presents data on the weather rigidity index use (G. Bodman) in environmental studies. The authors describe the behavioral characteristics of the common fox (Vulpes vulpes, Linnaeus, 1758) activity depending on the amount of snow cover and the climate severity in Krasnoarmeyskiy district of the Samara Region. Relatively low temperature and quite high wind speed influence the heat loss of the animal more than high temperature in calm weather. In scientific literature (A.N. Formozov, 1946, 1990) it’s noted that it is possible to use «weather cruelty» indicator that defines the conditions that contribute to frostbite. It is determined by low air temperature and wind velocity that particularly affect cooling objects that have excessive heat in comparison with the environment. However, A.N. Formozov could not use this indicator due to rather large deviations as the wind speed and the temperature on the investigated territory, as even in the same locality there is a discrepancy with the data of weather stations located remotely from each other, this author didn’t study habitats independently (A.N. Formozov, 1946, 1990, 2010). At the same time it is also noted that snowfall is an important factor, a powerful element of the environment that indicates what life forms can live in vast areas with snowy winter. Snow cover leads to seasonal migration or switching to food located above the snow.

This paper deals with the problem of anthropogenic soil pollution of cities with oil production on the example of Novokuybyshevsk, Samara Region. To assess the modern ecological-geochemical state of soil cover in Novokuybyshevsk in August 2016 the field study was carried out and soil samples for laboratory analysis were selected. The study was carried out on 8 test areas, 7 of which were in different functional zones of the city, significantly differing in environmental conditions. The sample site was in a green area 10 km from the city. Soil samples were collected according to the methods generally accepted in soil science and Geochemistry. The quantitative content of oil products and heavy metals (Ni, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Mn) in soil samples was determined in a specialized laboratory by certified procedures on the equipment, timely verified and calibrated. The data analysis revealed significant anthropogenic transformation of the soil cover in Novokuybyshevsk, which was enriched with petroleum and heavy metals. It also shaped the conditions that increased the migration of heavy metals in soils and their availability to biota. The soils of the city are characterized by relatively even distribution and high content of Zn and Cu. On the contrary, the Mn content is characterized by a rather low rate, which is especially evident for the soil sample area. The accumulation of Zn, Pb and petroleum products in the soils of the city is connected with the influence of the industrial zone. The motor component involves the contamination of soil by Ni, Zn, Si, Cd and petroleum products. No functional area in Novokuybyshevsk contains high levels of Pb concentrations, the content of which exceeded the MPC only in the industrial area. This fact can be associated with the ban of tetraethyl use in gasoline production in Russia in 2002. The obtained results can be used for environmental monitoring of the urban environment and predict changes of ecological-geochemical situation in Novokuybyshevsk in the future.

The materials on the children burials belonging to Tasmola culture in Central Kazakhstan were studied by M.K. Kadyrbaev and A.Z. Beisenov. As the analysis of available data shows there are only nine studied children burials of Tasmola culture. It is possible that some of the children graves, represented by small mounds, do not contain accompanying subjects and in the early period of research they were not mentioned on the pages of scientific publications and reports. New research shows that, along with small mounds, there are significant ones distinguished by their parameters and structure. Two of the nine constructions have diameters higher than 20 m, one of them is 18 m and particularly notable is the kurgan 7 in the burial ground Akbeit studied in Karaganda Region. Its diameter is 21,5 m, height 2,5 m. A four or five year old child, probably a girl, was buried there. The child was buried in a rich dress, as evidenced by gold torque, worn around the neck, and two gold earrings, a bronze mirror, a bone case for cosmetics. Children burials of Tasmola culture as well as the adult burials indicate social strata of that society.

The following paper investigates the Russian-Chechen relations in XVI–XVII centuries. The authors note that the Caucasus was in the sphere of Russian foreign policy at the time of the Russian centralized state formation. With the annexation of the Astrakhan khanate, Russia came to the Caucasus border and the Caucasian direction started to occupy a leading place in the Eastern policy of the tsarist government. The Caucasus in the XVI century was an object of a tense struggle between the two most powerful States of the then Middle East – Ottoman Empire and Safavid Iran – and at the same time a bridgehead, where there was a constant threat to the southern outskirts of Russia from these States and the Crimean khanate. The strengthening of Russia on the Caucasian lands could become the most reliable means to ensure the safety of the South of Russia. So in the XVII and XVII centuries, the North Caucasus was Russia’s military-strategic interest or, in modern language, a geopolitical one. Chechnya came under the influence of Russia in 1567, when the first Russian militarized city Terek in the North Caucasus was founded. For the peoples of the North Caucasus and of Chechnya the appearance of a Russian fortress on their land was of great political importance. Thus, it was vital for Russia to gain a foothold in the North Caucasus, as the enemy (Iran and Turkey) could do it, which was unsafe for Russia’s southern borders. It was during this period (late sixteenth century) when close military and political ties of the Moscow government and the Chechens were established. The Moscow government was interested in Chechnya because of its geographical location – the immediate proximity to the towns of Terek and the fact that its territory was the most convenient means of communication with Georgia. The relationship between Chechnya and Russia at the end of XVI – first half of XVII century was almost an «ideal model» of a peaceful rapprochement of the Chechen with the Moscow government for those conditions and at that time. The Russian authorities did not interfere in the internal affairs of the Chechen societies, they did not impose their own rules or laws, being satisfied with the results of the hostages, the payment of tribute and, if necessary, temporary military service. This led to the fact that in the XVII century allied relations of Chechnya societies with Russia were established. However, at the end of the XVII century Russian-Caucasian connection was significantly weakened.

The paper discusses the influence of Walter Scott’s historical novels on the formation of national identity of Scotland at the turn of the eighteenth to early nineteenth centuries. In the current geopolitical situation, considering the growing wave of separatism, the relevance of the study of national identity formation process cannot be overemphasized. In the paper the author analyzes the historical preconditions of Scots national consciousness formation. The author also considers characteristics of historical and cultural development of the region. According to the author, James MacPherson and Bishop Percy’s works were equally important for national disunity overcoming in Scotland and Britain as a whole. Particular attention is drawn to the role of Sir Walter Scott in the process of national revival in Scotland. Such novels as «Waverley», «Puritans», and «Rob Roy» introduced the general public with the mental basis of the Scottish people. Having opened national character features and religious foundations of the Scottish worldview for a wide range of readers, the author awakened the interest of the British society to the heritage of Scotland, thereby laying the basis for a successful integration of the two peoples into a single nation. Sir Walter Scott managed to revive national prestige of Scotland that had fallen victim after the signing of Union in 1707.

The purpose of this work is to research the process of introduction of smallpox prevention in the Orenburg Region in the early 19th century. The author focuses the main attention on the organization and activity of subsidiary medical institutions – smallpox committees. The author shows the role of Free Economic Society, doctors, clergy, civil people in the development of smallpox prevention in the region. Based on the analysis of historical sources which are represented in the state archive of the Orenburg Region (fund 6 «the offices of Orenburg military governor») the author makes an attempt to detect the main cause of civil resistance in the region. The author used chronological, historical, retrospective and inquiry learning methods. The conducted research showed that in the 19th century in the Orenburg province there was a system of vaccine prevention of smallpox among the population despite the difficult sanitary and epidemiologic situation, lack of medical institutions and shortage of qualified medical personnel. The formation of this process started in the early XIX century. Thus, effective activities of the state and public organizations during this period let to lower the general illness rate and death rates from natural smallpox among the population in the Orenburg province.

The paper examines a legal aspect of the hiring of workers in special sectors of Russia’s industry in the late XIX – early XX centuries. The conclusion is that the adopted factory laws put some grounds of contract law in the framework of mutual relations of workers and employers, with many exemptions, however, which excluded the equality of the contracting parties. Unlike Western countries the trend subordination of all categories of workers to general labour legislation was less in Russia. General factory laws originally concerned only enterprises of Ministry of Finance. Railway, construction, shipping workers, workers of military enterprises remained outside the subordination of the Charter of the industry. In other government departments there was its own legal framework regulating the employment relationship. Employment and work conditions were better in the Navy and worse in enterprises of the Ministry of Railways. The Mining department made big progress in the development of labor legislation. It limited the advance recruitment, hired well-organized cooperatives, banned the labor of women and children at night, it limited a working day to eight hours, established direct material plant responsible for the accuracy of the contractor in the payment of workers’ wages, allowed the establishment of special mining and metallurgical associations (partnerships). In general the legal maintenance of labour market in special sectors of Russian industry in the late XIX – early XX centuries was more organized and had better workers’ social protection than the main industry of Russia.

The history of workers’ everyday life during industrialization when old vital foundations changed into new ones is of great interest when studying social history of the Central Volga area. Studying life of workers for industrial enterprises in large cities of the Middle Volga Region allows to understand the development of the Soviet society better during such a difficult period in general. At the same time the history of workers’ life in this region has a number of features in comparison with industrial centers of the country. This paper considers housing as the most painful question of urbanization in the Central Volga area in the 1930th. Its analysis is impossible without studying history of urban transportation development, sanitary and hygienic service of the population, improvement of the cities. At the same time studying history of life shows all problems and difficulties of working class development and the country in 20–30 of the XX century in general. This work is devoted to these interconnected problems.

This paper discusses specialized treatment of the wounded in the hospitals of the Southern Urals in the Great Patriotic War (1941–1945). It is proved that the specialized treatment of the wounded undergone significant changes during 1941–1945. The paper defines nature of injuries and damage, treatment time, forming, distribution of hospital beds and a contingent of the wounded and sick Red Army soldiers. The author states that throughout the war the surgical activity in the South Urals hospitals increased. The study deals with the problem of death in base hospitals. The number of Red Army soldiers’ deaths was undercounted. This study has shown that due to medical workers of the South Urals hospitals specialized treatment of the wounded made a qualitative leap in the development of the stage treatment. At the beginning of the war general surgery and general therapeutic hospitals were created. Then, in order to ensure the most qualified assistance to the wounded, specialized hospitals and offices were deployed. The authors estimated that the application of advanced methods of treatment in the evacuation hospitals of the South Urals helped to heal 72,3% wounded and 90, 6% patients and they returned to military service. These materials can serve as a basis for further research in the Southern Urals health history and, in general, the history of the South Ural Region, as well as the patriotic education of the youth.

This paper deals with the problem of «axiological communication» and «value relation» concepts relationship. The importance of these concepts relationship is due to the need to fill gaps in pedagogical knowledge about the concept «axiological communication». The author thinks that it is possible to consider the concepts «axiological communication» and «value relation» as interchangeable ones. The paper contains similarities and differences regarding the interpretation of these concepts. The author regards axiology as a philosophical discipline and discusses different approaches to the category of «communication». Particular attention is given to approaches in which communication is regarded as a kind of attitude that carries a positive or negative coloration. The paper emphasizes the importance of communication and axiological value relations in the educational process in accordance with modern tendencies in educational standards, which are based on spiritual and moral education of the younger generation. The author analyses the problem of value relations in the framework of the object of pedagogical science, considers and explains the «subject-object» system and «subject-subject» relationship between the participants of the educational process in the teacher-student system. The observed relationship between the concepts «axiological communication» and «value relation» is the theoretical basis for the creation of a system that develops students’ readiness for axiological communication.

The paper deals with the cross-cutting tasks system use for the university education as a necessary condition of professional education orientation. The application of the cross-cutting tasks system promotes holistic students’ thinking and helps to master the means of action in a particular work situation. The paper contains a fragment of the system developed by the author for the course «Subject-oriented economic information systems» for bachelor students majoring in «Applied Information Technologies in Economics». The course consists of several modules, the cross-cutting tasks system is used in the module «Information systems of personnel management». The fragment of the system contains multiple «plot» lines that show methods of standard operations for personnel documents maintaining and enterprise personnel management, calculation and salary payment in the automated system. Specific tasks help to demonstrate continuity and connectivity of all sections in the module. The author of the paper considers some difficulties of the cross-cutting tasks system application: strict sequence of the methodology; difference in time that students need to perform the tasks; inability to include some tasks in the system; dependence on the results obtained during previous classes. The paper also contains possible ways of overcoming these difficulties.

The paper analyzes an evaluation system of law students’ LSP level that is developed and introduced by the author in Petrozavodsk State University. The development of such an evaluation system is determined by the necessity of making the assessment of law students’ foreign language competence more systematic, objective, communicative, individualized, covering all language skills, less stressful and including self-evaluation. The paper draws attention to the functional aspect of the evaluation system as the functions of the assessment are responsible for the correct arrangement of testing, evaluation impact on the learning process, students’ motivation, grading and skills development by means of testing procedures. The author visually presents the application of the assessment functions at different stages of the learning process and their role in entry, formative, progress achievement and summative assessment. The paper also examines other aspects of the evaluation system – aims, developed skills and evaluation criteria.

The paper provides evidence of the importance and necessity to resort to the ideas of modern time philosophers about morality. Understanding their application to education makes it possible to identify conserved and preserved ideas of moral education of humans. The author shows that the moral wisdom include the experience of mankind that has started to realize the value of each person, the equality of all people regardless of ethnicity and race, to understand that living in harmony with their own kind means to contribute to the prosperity of mankind. The author proves that identification of the relation between morality and ethics is conditioned by the need to solve a practical problem – to identify the ideas of F. Bacon, R. Descartes, T. Hobbes about morality and ethics who consume these categories as synonyms relating to education. According to F. Bacon, morality comes to a person from outside and a leading way of moral decency acquisition is teaching, turning into manners. Morality, from R. Descartes’ point of view, guiding human life and customs, is given to man from outside; following the rules of human morality is a key way of building a proper and moral life. Morality, from R. Descartes and T. Hobbes’ point of view, determines man’s inner world.

The necessity of professionals who are able to take effective measures immediately and adequately for the purposes of achieving goals has conditioned the requirements increase to the system of the departmental higher professional education that trains personnel for the penal bodies (the Penal System). The effectiveness of the penal correctional facilities depends on the level of graduates’ readiness for work with the convicted. The concept «readiness» was introduced into scientific use in 1950–1960 by B.G. Ananiev, but a unified position on its understanding has not been worked out in pedagogy. Scientists define it in different ways; it depends on the researcher approach to understanding the essence of readiness for professional activity. In this paper functional, psychological, personal, integrative approaches are characterized. The readiness for professional activity is determined by the requirements imposed to the specialist. The performance of the penal staff has some specific set of features; the main ones are focused on the convicted, as well as on its legal, peremptory, strictly subordinated character. The readiness for work with the convicted is thought of as an integrative synthesis of cognitive, personal components necessary for successful carrying out of professional activities and providing the greatest efficiency.

The paper presents theoretical and methodological foundations of students’ project activity organization in institutions of children’s and youth arts. The retrospective analysis of scientific publications and advanced pedagogical experience related to young people creative development in the system of supplementary education (centers of children’s and youth arts et al.) proves that project technology plays a dominant role in encouraging students to learn modeling and design engineering as well as acquiring skills of independent creative activity. Values and advantages of project technology distinguish it favorably from traditional and innovative pedagogical technologies. The paper shows that project technology is oriented to integration, synthesis of students’ theoretical knowledge and their practical activity: it means that carrying out a project we not only set a specific creative task but also do our best to put it into practice in the form of pictures, drawings, applications, software, dummies, devices, robots, etc. Undertaking a particular project the student is supposed to learn how to identify social and technical contradictions and problems and overcome them. Project technology is focused on students’ creative work which helps to develop and strengthen the skills required to organize their independent work. The paper introduces the typology of training projects used in the center of children’s and youth arts as well as the techniques of their individual and selective choice. There is a focus on basic classification criteria of training projects: leading modality of students’ training and cognitive activity; the levels of interdisciplinary integration of knowledge acquired by the students while carrying out the project; subjects and conditions for project activity organization.

The paper presents the results of the experimental work on development of student-pre-service teacher’s readiness to organize school students’ moral self-education. The author describes the variations that took place in cognitive, motivational-axiological and activity components of pre-service teacher’s readiness to organize moral self-education of school-students. A cognitive component was studied by the method of conceptual vocabulary; the value orientation method developed by V.A. Yadov was used for motivational-axiological component and there was a questionnaire for activity component. The paper reveals the comparative results of variations in students’ perceptions about morals, values, moral ideal, moral self-education, as well as the methods of moral self-education, moral education methods and methods of moral behavior experience development received at the control stage of the experiment. The paper also presents changes that have occurred in the motivational-axiological sphere of students’ consciousness. It has been found that students are now focused on the intrinsic motivation of activity when organizing moral self-education of school students rather than on the external one. In the activity-component during the experimental work, the perceptions about skills have changed in the graduates’ consciousness, which are now based on scientific knowledge.

The paper deals with features of common cultural competence development at bachelors majoring in «Physical culture and sport». The federal state educational standard of the third generation, approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, involves common cultural competence development at bachelors majoring in «Physical Culture and Sports». This competence is important for the implementation of the program that develops a modern expert and trainer’s personality. The value of common cultural competence in the system of modern education is increasing due to the personality-oriented education paradigm establishment when the society requires active, capable of self-development and self-education professionals, especially in areas that are vital for the development of the Russian society and the state. The paper shows that the development of fitness has formed a fitness pedagogy: it is necessary to determine a set of professional and general cultural competence, content and curriculum framework for future professionals in the field of fitness as well as what common cultural competence contribute to the training of future experts in fitness and how professional and general cultural competence interact in the educational process. Solving this problem will allow to reform the system of experts’ training and will help to achieve national objective to preserve the nation’s health.

Formation of prospective primary education teachers’ readiness towards the development of universal educational activities, including forecasting, is an urgent problem of modern pedagogical science. Orientation of primary education program on the achievement of metasubject results requires a revision of prospective teachers’ training. The problem of bachelors’ training for the ability to predict development in pupils remains open to theoretical understanding and experimental study. This paper presents a developed model of primary education bachelors’ training for the development of students’ ability to predict based on competence-based and task-based approaches. Competencies components such as knowledge, abilities, skills and personal characteristics are described in the paper as a result of bachelors’ education. The authors concretize and clarify professional competencies of prospective teachers from educational standard of higher education, which are necessary and sufficient for bachelors’ training in the framework of the considered problem. The aim of the model and its organizational unit are described, organizational, pedagogical and methodological terms of bachelors’ training and the ways of their realization in the learning process are presented (methods and forms of educational process organization, based on practice-oriented learning and professional experience). The paper shows that the developed model represents an integrated process of prospective primary school teachers’ training for development of students’ ability to predict.
