Abstract. The problem of mass plagiarism in scientific publications and qualification research papers is fairly acute in today's Russia. Incorrect borrowings and plagiarism have extended not only to scientific articles and dissertations, but also to students’ courseworks and graduation research papers and diploma thesis. The author has recently faced with a case of 100% plagiarism of his article published in the Russian journal and in this paper describes the possible practical steps to protect the author’s rights. In addition, the paper analyzes the problems of scientific and publication ethics in the conditions of rapid development of information and communication technologies, estimates factors of the paid publications market development in Russia. The author points to the information asymmetry leading to various forms of manipulation in academic sphere including relations between laypersons and professional plagiarists .

Abstract. The need for applying interactive teaching methods is dictated by the current legislation of the Russian Federation. It is widely known in the academic world that active and interactive teaching methods are more effective. They increase students’ motivation to study, as well as the learning efficiency and quality. The article describes the characteristics of interactive learning, as well as the possibility of its application to the study of economic disciplines. The emphasis is placed on the methodology for implementing interactive forms of learning relating to theoretical questions, which, unlike the consideration of practical aspects, remains insufficiently covered. An example of conducting classes in an interactive form is presented. The presented form of interactive training allows studying of the majority of economic phenomena, concepts, categories.

Keywords: interactive training, economic disciplines, business and role games, group discussion, debate

within the Flipped Classroom Technology

Abstract. The quality of professional education depends on the effectiveness of educational technologies. The Flipped Classroom technology is being successfully tested at the Russian Language Department of Vladivostok State University of Economics and Service within the “Russian Language and Culture of Speech” course. The article analyzes the experience of teaching with the use of the Flipped Classroom technology; it discusses the special features of teaching first-year students, and the principles for organization of self-directed learning process.

In flipped learning, self-directed learning is the dominating type of educational activity. Teachers must prepare their students for self-directed learning in the Moodle electronic educational environment, they must motivate them to independently master the theoretical material and to do the practical and controlling assignments and tests.

In mixed education, self-directed learning helps to intensify the educational process; forms first-year students’ self-education skills; develops such important personal qualities as independence, activity, consciousness and responsibility. When organizing self-directed learning of students, special attention should be given to the development of practical assignments for testing and control. In teaching the “Russian Language and Culture of Speech” course, the following interactive and electronic tasks are used to form skills and abilities in a reproductive, reconstructive, and creative performance: essays, glossary, mutual reviews, business games, projects, etc. Active methods of control and an electronic survey at the end of the course facilitate the optimization of the self-directed learning process.

Considering the special features of mixed education of first-year students, the author defines the main principles for organizing self-directed learning. They are continuity and systematicity; regularity and rhythm; intensity and optimality of workload; interactivity, individualization, feedback and control; effectiveness of activity; development of self-educational skills and such personal qualities as independence, activity, consciousness and responsibility.

Abstract. The shift of higher education system to the new federal state standards for education (FGOS3++) is connected with the changes in the curriculum and terminological shift from so called general cultural competences to key competences. Key competences are the basis for professional competences and lay the foundation for further personal and professional development of a specialist. Recent research in teaching foreign languages in higher education institutions have been aimed at the development of professional competences. However the empirical data show that first-year students of non-linguistic departments do not have school level command of the foreign language. The article considers the potential of the foreign language to form not only communicative competence in the foreign language but to form key competences, mentioned in the new federal standard, regardless of the initial level of language competence.

Keywords: key competences, professional competences, communicative competence, foreign language, language competence, general competences

Abstract. In his interview, the Rector of Voronezh State University highlights the milestones of VSU’s history and its achievements during the centennial working experience. The history of Voronezh State University goes back to 1918, when the staff and students of Yuriev (former Derpt) University moved to Voronezh owing to the German occupation of Estonia. Today Voronezh State University is one of most renowned universities in Russia, the largest research university in the Central Black Earth Region. Its world competitiveness can be demonstrated by the fact that VSU is listed among the top universities in international and national rankings such as Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Ranking, Times Higher Education (THE) World University Ranking, Interfax, Rating of Russian universities. The advanced forms of interaction between University and business partners and enterprises were described, such as centers of corporate training (VSU has more than 10) and corporate postgraduate courses (cooperation with PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Bionorica SE and others). The University is piloting the convergent educational programs, e.g. “Medical cybernetics”, mathematical modeling in pharmaceutical studies, experimental technical school for gifted children.
