The article is a review of new scholarly articles on the use of virtual reality (VR) technologies in the study of various subjects. The relevance of the study is due to the growing interest in the use of VRtechnologies in the educational process. There is more and more educational content for virtual environments appears. Many organizations are gradually integrating VR-technologies in the study of various subjects. The purpose of the study is to supplement existing knowledge on the use of virtual reality technologies in the study of various subjects by reviewing and systematizing foreign scientific articles published over the period from 2018 to 2022, indexed in various scientometric databases. As the main method, a protocol was applied to conduct a systematic literature review, describing the search procedure and criteria for inclusion of articles. This review of scientific literature covers 20 foreign publications on the study of the use of virtual reality technologies in the areas of history, mathematics, woodworking, chemistry, anatomy, physics, design, robot programming, safety training, zoology, real estate, foreign languages learning, teaching natural sciences. The area of teacher training and the use of virtual reality technologies by primary school teachers is covered. As a result, it should be noted that recently many schools have been puzzled by the introduction of virtual reality educational platforms. Virtual reality educational platforms are becoming an important tool. It is noted that virtual reality educational platforms focus on interactive learning and reduce the gap between practical experience and student knowledge, while uniting students around the world.

In the period of globalization and digitalization, the Russian language is becoming an object of special attention. In modern conditions, teaching Russian as a foreign language and as a non-native language requires a new approach. This is not connected with the total digitalization of the educational process, but, first of all, with the search for more effective forms, methods, taking into account the national characteristics of the region in which foreign students live and study. In the conditions of world globalization, high-quality knowledge equipped with the ideas of a new vision of education becomes a strategic resource for the development of the society. The processes that is taking place in the modern Russian language at different levels of its use are shown: linguistic globalization, democratization of the language, the fall of the general language culture, following the language fashion, active neologization of words, the growing influence of the media and the Internet, intolerance in speech communication, speech aggression, etc. In such conditions, information security is of particular importance, designed to preserve the best traditions of the Russian language. The article outlines the actual problems of teaching Russian as a foreign language in the NEFU, including such as digital oecumene, semiotics in the system of teaching Russian as a foreign language, and also examines the language situation in the CIS countries, in particular, in the Republic of Tajikistan.

The article deals with the process of pre-university medical training of schoolchildren. The concepts of “professional interest” and “pedagogical support for the formation of readiness” are characterized. A brief review of the experience of various forms and methods of career guidance work of Russian medical universities is given. A pilot study is presented on forming the readiness of the professional interest of high school students in the city of Yakutsk in medical professions, conducted by teachers of the Institute of Medicine, M.K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University, through diagnostic tools (questionnaire “My future profession”, project essay “I am in 5 and 10 years”, observation of students during the action “May is the month of pressure measurement”).

The development of pedagogical science on the basis of interdisciplinary connections is in demand in connection with the enrichment of pedagogy with new methods, forms, and technologies. One of these areas is neuroscience. Neuroscience is a scientific field that studies chemical, biological and anatomical features that affect the activity of the brain and nervous system. The interest of education in neurotechnologies is associated with the possibility of individualization of the educational process and the personification of educational technologies. On the one hand, based on extensive experience in studying the brain, they help to fix the current state of the student (emotional and physiological) without actually affecting him. And on the other hand, they allow you to develop cognitive functions. The article presents an analysis of the history of neuroscience, its main milestones and achievements, which are aimed at the development of neuropedagogy as one of the modern interdisciplinary directions of the development of pedagogical education. It is based on the interaction of pedagogy, psychology and neuroscience to study pedagogical processes from the point of view of the reaction of the brain. This direction is actively developing all over the world, the main methods of neuroscience (EEG, MRI, MEG, etc.) are considered, one of which is EEG (electroencephalogram), which allows registering bioelectric activity of the brain and interpreting it according to the human condition (meditation, concentration etc.). The development of this direction can help modern teachers in the individualization of the educational process, psychological work with children, motivation of students.

The article presents theoretical and empirical studies of the relationship between the locus of control orientation and the economic behavior of the personality. During the theoretical analysis of scientific literature containing information about the locus of control it was revealed that the internal locus of control is associated with responsibility, social maturity and positive self-esteem. Internals cope better with stress and adapt and they also have fewer mental health problems. Economic behavior was understood as human activity, which is caused by economic incentives and is aimed at satisfying their needs with the use of limited resources. As a result of a theoretical study of the relationship between the locus of control orientation and the economic behavior of the personality it was revealed that the internal locus of control plays an important role in financial planning and in the creation of savings. However, in the stock market, the internal locus of control can have a negative impact when making investment decisions. The article presents an empirical study, the purpose of which was to identify the relationship between the relationship between the locus of control orientation and the economic behavior of the personality. The study was conducted on the basis of the social network “Vkontakte”. It was attended by 37 people aged 18 to 68 years, of which 6 men and 31 women. The questionnaire of Bazhin, Golynkina, and Etkind “The level of subjective control” and the author’s questionnaire aimed at identifying the features of economic behavior were used. Based on the conducted empirical research the following conclusions were made: internals most often try to save money when buying goods; internals have savings for a “rainy day” when, as externals, they do not create savings; internals, unlike externals, prefer to carry out financial planning.

The article reveals the scholarly significance of the human factor, focusing on the issues of science facing the modern Enlightenment, about a person and his dignity, intelligence, possession of unique qualities. Representatives of the Jadid movement emphasized the role of man in the cultural life of society, the factors that determine the nature of the human phenomenon, the qualities, qualities and possibilities of its development. The Jadid movement was able to attract all layers of the society, served as an ideology of awakening, fought for independence, autonomy Turkestan, created by his zeal and initiative, was the first result of practical actions in this direction, an adapted education and culture, a press for socio-political purposes. Most of the Jadid enlighteners closely followed the socio-political, cultural and educational changes taking place at the beginning of the last century, drew attention to the problems common to all Turkic peoples: language and writing, the reform of school and education, the study of history, family and marriage, the study and preservation of national values, the formation of national statehood and, finally, a conscious attitude to nature were the main issues that occupied the minds of the Jadids.

The study of literary works using the world coordinate system is based on the limit relative dynamic equilibria. According to this concept any natural or cultural formation can be considered from the point of view of the limits of dynamic equilibria, which converge to the three limit fundamental equilibria: identification (I – limit), system communication (C – limit) and limit rhythm of the world harmony (K – limit). Within this cell, an equilibrium is established between an arbitrary natural or cultural formation and intermediate limits of its possible dynamic equilibria. The ontological and phenomenological aspects of the image and architectonics of Olonkho allow considering it from the point of view of three limits. The first corresponds with the epic hero, the second – with the architectonics, the third – with the basic rhythms of existence of the images of the hero and the architectonics.

It is well known that in the Yakut (Sakha) traditional religious-philosophical worldview, a psychophysical basis of a healthy person consists of a system of three parts, so-called kuts (souls): iye kut (mother soul), salgyn kut (air soul), and buor kut (earth soul). All these three kuts interact with each other, as well as with a physical body and the surrounding world through a vital energy called as sur. Most authors, both among ethnographers and modern researchers, unanimously consider iye kut as the main one among the three kuts. At the same time, important life-supporting functions of a living person in an embodied state on Earth are assigned to the concepts of salgyn kut and buor kut. In this work, based on the research of scholars, folk epics, as well as materials collected by visiting local historians, a semantic analysis of the properties reflected by the concepts of salgyn kut and buor kut is carried out. Semantic parallels were found with the currently well-known teaching of Agni Yoga. As the authors established, Agni Yoga uses corresponding concepts that structure a psycho-physical activity of a person to describe and explain the manifestations of a person. Namely, we have investigated concepts “ethereal body” and “astral body” in the framework of Agni Yoga. The Teaching of Agni Yoga was published in Russian in 1924-1938, thanks to the works of Elena Ivanovna Roerich. The authors revealed semantic connections between the categories of buor kut and ethereal body, as well as between the concepts of salgyn kut and astral body, in which their similar properties were established in relation to many processes and objects of the spiritual and material worldview, in accordance with the visions of both religious philosophical systems. The identification of common semantic parallels in the cultural and philosophical terms is the establishment and strengthening of cultural ties between the Russian people and the Sakha people.

The article considers the issue of the dialogue’s essence, which is still relevant, as its essential characteristics have not been considered yet. The author assumes that the essential part of a dialogue is an ontological base that reveals itself in all forms of the dialogue relations. Moreover, this base reveals itself in pseudo-dialogical forms of the dialogical intercourse. The absence of a true dialogue does not allow individuals, cultures, and civilizations to understand each other. The defining criterion for presence of such a level is creative activity of parties in a dialogue. The deep level exists as a stable cycle of fluctuations between self-identification and communication, allowing the dialogue to realize its functions. The article discusses the main contradictions of the dialogue, the complexity of its implementation in the modern world in the context of globalization and global problems of our time. The complexity and inconsistency of modern processes makes this form of communication more accessible and at the same time more complex. In today’s world, the need for the dialogue is increasing. This makes the personal principle in communication more relevant. The article considers the history of the dialogue culture from its early form as the art of argument to the understanding of its heuristic possibilities as a form of dialectical conversation, in which the question is more important than the answers.
