the article focuses on the role of creative writing in increasing the success of the process of developing written speech skills. In this case, students are placed in a situation that involves critical understanding of the problem, analysis and selection of the most adequate solution to the communicative task. The goal is to create a written speech product, namely: writing microtexts based on the principle of minimalism (short notes, posts on social networks, memes, slogans, inscriptions for posters and affirmations); preparing group letters; creating diverse dialogues and scenarios; working on creating their own original work in the genre of a fairy tale, poem, novel or short prose. This contributes to the formation of an individual author’s style and develops the creative imagination of students. The article presents the results of an experiment at the Faculty of Foreign Languages of the South-Ural state Humanities-Pedagogical University to analyze the efficiency of using creative writing to develop writing skills of future foreign language teachers. The experiment involved 32 students studying German as a second speciality. Comparison of the results of pre- and post-experimental testing confirmed the efficiency of integrating creative writing into the educational process. At the stage of self-reflection, students noted an increase in the level of motivation and professional-pedagogical interest.

the article presents the experience of teaching the complex discipline "Fundamentals of Geology, Geomorphology, Soil Science" to students studying in the secondary spe-cialized education program at the college of the Ural State University of Economics. It is shown that most students living in the city of Yekaterinburg and the Sverdlovsk region have very limited understanding of both the history of industrial development of the region and the natural resource potential and environmental problems. A number of methods of teaching the discipline are described, including the use of business games, discussions, laboratory and practical classes and excursions aimed at expanding the horizons of the student contingent in relation to historical, geological and eco-logical-geographical information about the territory of the Greater Urals. The combination of personality-oriented and practical-activity approaches with the simultane-ous use of external and internal motivation, based on the personal interest of students in studying the material, contributed to the fairly high effectiveness of the course of this academic discipline. According to the results of a survey conducted among students after completion of the curriculum, 94% of respondents noted the importance of the discipline for future professional activity, 78% indicated that they received new information about the region of their residence, and 52% felt proud of it. The presented experience can be useful in drawing up the curriculum of this discipline, taking into account the needs and interests of students.

the article is devoted to the analysis of the transformation of environmental education in military universities in Russia in the context of the evolution of Federal State Educational Standards (FSES) – from the third generation (FSES 3) to the project of FSES 4. The main attention is paid to the contradictions between the global trend towards the greening of education and the specifics of training military specialists, where environmental competencies are gradually replaced by narrowly professional safety requirements. Based on a comparative analysis of the standards (FSES 3, 3+, 3++, 4), it was revealed that in the civilian sector, ecology has transformed from a basic course into an interdisciplinary module with an emphasis on sustainable development, digitalization, and ESG principles. In military education, on the other hand, there is a reduction in environmental competencies: while FSES 3+ included skills in environmental monitoring and audit, FSES 4 has reduced them to general requirements for life safety. The author attributes this to the lack of qualified environmental educators in military universities and the conservative approach to education. The key issue is the absence of a basic environmental course that covers not only legal aspects but also practical methods for minimizing environmental damage during combat operations. It is emphasized that modern armed conflicts require environmentally-friendly solutions, such as the development of green weapons technologies. In conclusion, the author proposes measures to integrate environmental education into military programs, including the training of specialized personnel and the adaptation of international experience.

packaging design as a scientific discipline is a dynamically developing field of knowledge that requires constant updating of methodological approaches and integration of new technologies into the educational process. Market globalization, digitalization of production and the emergence of new materials require packaging design specialists to have not only traditional skills, but also competencies in modern technologies, including 3D modeling, virtual reality and digital design tools. The article shows that an innovative approach to teaching relevant disciplines plays a crucial role in training future designers with “21st century competencies”. To this end, it is proposed to create a unified educational environment that includes academic and practical components of training. The author believes it is necessary to improve the educational process by introducing practice-oriented training based on digital platforms for organizing interaction with industry experts, rapid prototyping technologies, as well as VR/AR technologies when completing packaging design assignments. At the same time, the effectiveness of training will increase provided that close ties are established with specialized enterprises and a system of professional assessment of students' work is used directly by representatives of enterprises.

the article examines the problem of developing chronological understanding among school students as one of the key components of historical thinking. The aim of the study is to analyze the current state of students' chronological knowledge, identify typical difficulties when working with chronological material, and determine effective methodological tools to improve the level of chronological training. The authors set the following tasks: summarizing Unified State Exam (USE) data in history from 2019 to 2024, identifying common mistakes made by graduates, analyzing pedagogical approaches to visualizing chronology, and describing the potential of using timelines in the educational process. Additionally, the paper explores a model of semantic timeline structuring, which includes three interconnected components: the causality field, the fact space, and the consequences field. The theoretical significance of the study lies in clarifying the role of chronology as a structural element of history education and justifying the potential of visual tools in shaping a holistic perception of historical time. The practical significance of the research is that the proposed methodological approaches can be successfully applied in school practice – both in learning new material and in reviewing and consolidating knowledge, as well as in preparing for final history assessments.

this study systematically compares Chinese and Russian idioms related to body parts to identify their semantic and cultural characteristics and develop effective methodological approaches to teaching Chinese to Russian-speaking students. The study utilized cognitive analysis of metaphors, cross-cultural comparison of phraseological units, and a pedagogical experiment using situational and visual teaching methods. The results revealed three types of cultural prototypes: universal, overlapping, and dissonant, demonstrating differences in the conceptualization of bodily experience in the Chinese and Russian linguistic worldviews. It was demonstrated that integrating cultural context, explaining metaphorical mechanisms, and using interactive forms of work contribute to improved understanding and reproduction of idioms, with the level of correct use in communicative tasks increasing by 35%. The findings can be used in the development of teaching materials and professional development courses for Chinese language teachers.

this article is dedicated to a comprehensive analysis of Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka's instrumental legacy, considered a system-forming factor of the Russian musical school. Although the composer's operatic works are widely acknowledged, his instrumental compositions remain insufficiently studied regarding their influence on the formation of national musical identity and pedagogical repertoire. The primary objective of the study is to identify the essential characteristics and historical significance of Glinka's instrumental music, focusing primarily on his symphonic works and piano miniatures. The methodology employed includes a historical-cultural approach, structural-functional analysis of musical form, harmony, and orchestration, as well as a comparative method. The study demonstrates that Glinka's innovative orchestral techniques – characterized by a rich timbral palette, dynamic contrasts, and a synthesis of genres – laid the foundations of Russian symphonic tradition and decisively influenced subsequent generations of composers, notably the members of "The Mighty Handful" and P.I. Tchaikovsky. Additionally, special attention is devoted to the pedagogical value of piano miniatures (such as "Farewell Waltz," "Nocturne 'Separation',"and "The Lark"), which significantly develop performance technique, phrasing, and artistic expression. The scholarly novelty lies in the holistic interpretation of Glinka's instrumental works as a fundamental component of Russian musical tradition, remaining highly relevant in contemporary music education and performance practice.

in the context of globalization and a rapidly changing world, cultural confidence is becoming a key factor determining the effectiveness of ideological and political education in colleges and universities. This paper explores the relationship between cultural confidence and innovative practices in education, emphasizing the importance of integrating cultural values and identity into curricula. Existing approaches to ideological education in Chinese universities are analyzed, problems of formalism and lack of practical connection with modern realities are identified. Based on theoretical frameworks such as the theory of cultural reproduction and the culture-ideology-innovation model, strategies for modernizing the educational content are proposed, including the use of technologies (AR/VR) and active learning methods (debates, social projects). The results of the study show that cultural confidence not only helps strengthen patriotism and critical thinking among students, but also improves the overall educational environment, enhancing the international authority of the Chinese education model. The work offers recommendations for universities on the creation of centers for cultural and ideological innovations and the introduction of gamification into the educational process.
