Abstract: The contradictory problems of the relationship between teachers and parents, the specific nature of conflicts between teachers and parents in an educational organization are considered. The concept of "conflict" is revealed, the enumeration of the main reasons influencing the occurrence of conflicts between parents and teachers is given. In order to update the optimal methods of conflict resolution between parents and teachers, a study of the causes and nature of this type of conflict was conducted. Due to the humanization of the pedagogical approach in education, there has been an ambiguous trend in the development of the relationship between teachers and parents. The relevance of this study is that the education system in modern Russia has undergone and continues to undergo quite serious changes. The results of the study showed the relationship between the high level of conflict between the teacher and the nature of the conflict between him and the parents of students. In the system of teacher–parent relations, the personality of the teacher himself plays an important role. In order to study the degree of influence of the factors we identified on the nature of conflicts between parents and teachers, a study was conducted that included the use of several techniques. In conclusion, the conclusion and recommendations developed on the basis of the results of the study are presented to improve the communicative skills of teachers, in particular the ability to resolve conflict situations related to the educational process and specifically with the parents of students.

Abstract: The paper examines the relationship between the digital footprint of high school students in the Vkontakte social network with their high formal educational achievements (prizes in All-Russian Olympiads). To do this, using the Vkontakte API, the digital footprint of users is uploaded, a classifier is built to determine whether a student is a prize-winner of the Olympiads, and it turns out which groups of variables (personal characteristics, popularity and novelty of posts on the wall, subscriptions to communities) have the greatest impact on the accuracy of classification. The classification uses user data from the Vkontakte social network of 12,588 graduates of the 11th grade in 2019 and 2020, and machine learning algorithms. As a result of the study, the relationship between the level of educational potential, as a student's ability to win Olympiads, and the subject of content interesting to such students was revealed. 63 Vkontakte communities were also identified as the most significant for the classification of study participants. Among the communities that are more popular with the winners of the Olympiads, there are topics related to science and passing the Unified State Exam, as well as intellectual memes. The subscriptions of "non-Olympians" express the presence of communities with humor and entertainment content. This observation refutes the widespread opinion in the pedagogical community about the negative impact of social networks on the success of schoolchildren's education. The Vkontakte information space contains not only entertainment content, but also information that supports or stimulates cognitive interest and educational motivation.

Abstract: This article reviews the memoirs of D. S. Hessen – Polish journalist, translator and lexicographer, son of a prominent pedagogue and philosopher, active participant in the intellectual life of white émigré S. I. Hessen, as the paramount source for reconstruction of scientific-pedagogical biography of the scholar in the context of pedagogical history of emigration. The authors lean on the traditional methods of historical-pedagogical research, namely biographical, resorting to the techniques of hermeneutical and contextual analysis, and “microhistory”. The importance of D. S. Hessen's memoirs for understanding the general patterns and specific details of scientific-pedagogical life of the “Russian Prague” is emphasized. The relevance of this work is defined by the need for creating a documented pedagogical history of Russian immigrants in Europe, development of new approaches towards analyzing the legacy of prominent representatives of pedagogical thought, search and introduction of archival materials into the scientific discourse, particularly memoirs, epistolary, and personal documents. The conducted research demonstrates that the memoirs of D. S. Hessen are an important source for reconstruction of scientific-pedagogical biography of S. I. Hessen, as they clarify such moments as the Prague period of life of the scholar, outline the circle of person he mostly interacted with, and shed light on certain circumstances of his life and work.

Abstract: This article discusses why the traditional pedagogical paradigm of education failed to consider individualization: this was contradicted by the fundamental principles of pedagogy of the XIX century (interpretation of a student as a generalized individual, rather than personality; uniform curriculum, understanding of key goal of education as digestion of knowledge, etc.); these principles were also supported by project of modernity. New paradigm of education should take into account the analogy of phylo- and ontogenesis, in the context of which the author differentiates the culture that includes sociality (phylogenetic plan), and development of the individual in education and culture (ontogenetic plan). At the same time, culture and sociality, should be viewed within the framework of semiotic, activity, and environmental approaches, a detailed characteristic of which is presented. The author distinguishes between the “before-personality” cultures (Ancient World) and “with personalities” cultures (since the Antiquity). The first one did not allow autonomous behavior; while the second, in addition to collective forms of life, initiate private forms driven by “private patterns”. From ontogenetic perspective, the author delineates the three “cultures of life”: the culture of “prama” (childhood), the culture of “personal becoming” (teenage period and adolescence), the culture of “personal enhancement” (adulthood). Three phases of personal becoming are discusses: 1) formation of intersubjective situation, 2) response of an individual to such situation, as a yet unsconsious way of its resolution; 3) comprehension, outlining, action (this phase includes learning). The author introduces an important concept of “evolution of an individual”, which implies spontaneous and conscious changes in personality of a student under the influence of school, family, media (Internet), friends, and reflection. Based on the aforementioned differences and concepts, the author gives characteristics to the sources of individualization, and describes the space it is fulfilled within.

Abstract: This article explores the creative leadership potential among the junior students majoring in humanities. The relevance of studying creative leadership in the era of transfessionalism is substantiated. Description is given to the current state of studying the concept of creative leadership in global science. The author also delineates the survey results on the creative leadership potential of junior students majoring in humanities, which involved 101 students from different universities of Tomsk. The research employed the method of modeling communicative worlds, method of psycho-semantic graph, method of “Myers-Briggs Creative Personality Type”, scalogram-based communicability profile, social network analysis (SNA methodology). The scientific novelty is defined by the fact that modern science features a fairly small number of empirical research dedicated to creative leadership. The acquired data was analyzed using the factor analysis. The main result of this research consists in identification of 10 factors that considerably contribute to the creative leadership potential and form its factor structure. At the forefront of the structure of creative leadership potential among the students majoring in humanities is the positive perception of their partners. It is also concluded that the structure of creative leadership potential is quite complex and contradictory. The obtained results would be used in development of psychological support programs for the students to fulfill their creative leadership potential.
