On June 17 in the children's technological park "Quantorium" of Tomsk the final project lesson "Swarm of nanosatellites - Stage 3" took place in the framework of the project "Space Lesson", partly organized and initiated by the Tomsk State Pedagogical University.

The use of satellites is widespread all over the world: programs for launching telecommunication satellites, remote sensing satellites and others are being implemented. Engineers and workers create the latest satellite systems. Russia's advanced universities and space industry enterprises face an important task: to create a swarm of small space satellites that can interact with each other and together solve assigned tasks. The participants of "Space Lessons" - students from Omsk and Tomsk and "Unicom" center from Kemerovo - took part in the target-oriented work on the creation of unique spacecraft. For the first time, a team from the Moscow State Education Complex was represented among the teams, where the schoolchildren get professional education in modern professions.

The host of the "Space Lesson" was Egor Butsenko, a senior lecturer at the Department of Chemistry and Methods of Teaching Chemistry at the Faculty of Chemistry at the Tomsk State Pedagogical University:

"Any project work contributes to the development of both personal and professional abilities of schoolchildren: expansion of the outlook, skills of self-presentation and teamwork. In terms of career guidance the participants of such lessons can immediately understand if they want to tie their life with the study of space or not".

At each of Spacelesson's sites around Russia experts were presented: in Kemerovo - Elena Alekseevna Pakhomova, Deputy Chairman of the Kuzbass Government for Education and Science; in Moscow - pilot-cosmonaut, Hero of Russia Alexander Kaleri and Anton Pozharnitsky, engineer of the laboratory of innovative solutions for creating products of the Rocket and Space Corporation Energia named after S.P. Korolev; The Omsk site interacted with Pavel Stepen, a specialist in spacecraft engines, an employee of aviation and rocketry at the Omsk State Technical University. An expert from the TPU Vasily Fedorov, head of the mechanical engineering department and a professional in the design and creation of small spacecraft oversaw the work in Tomsk.

During the main part of the lesson, four teams presented the results of their project work on creating swarming satellites. At the last lesson on the 27th of October the participants got the basic steps of the design process: the first step was to get the initial data for the small spacecraft design, the second step was to determine the composition of the satellite, design its future 3D-model and the third step was to start the process of the MCA production technology creation. Tomsk scientists presented a model of the satellite and proposed options for its service systems and payloads.

The lesson experts discussed the results obtained by the teams in the course of their work and outlined the next steps:

"There is not much time left before the launch. After receiving a working prototype, tests are to begin: both autonomous and comprehensive. Their main goal is to confirm the performance of the satellite in space conditions and to confirm its characteristics", — said specialists in Tomsk.

Participants were also able to talk to the crew members of the Russian segment of the ISS Petr Dubrov and Oleg Novitsky on the topic of the lesson, ask questions relating to the nanosatellite swarm, as well as life and work of astronauts on the International Space Station: what tools astronauts need on the ISS, about conducting experiments onboard the station, about the astronauts on Earth training for work on the station.

The participants of all four teams did a tremendous amount of work to create small spacecraft: mockups of future satellites are ready. Tests that will show their effectiveness. There is even a chance that the satellites made by the students will get into space and bring mankind closer to its understanding and knowledge. The launch of a swarm of small space satellites into orbit is scheduled for 2022-2023.

The Space Lesson project has been implemented in Tomsk since 2017. Its organizers are Roscosmos and Rocket and Space Corporation Energia together with the Tomsk State Pedagogical University, the TPU, and the Tomsk State Television and Radio Company.

June 17, 2021, the Minister of Education of Kuzbass paid a business visit to the Tomsk State Pedagogical University. The purpose of the trip was a meeting with the rector and students of the university on issues of training and employment.

In the business part of the program, the Minister of Education of Kuzbass S. Y. Balakireva, Head of the Department of Education of Kemerovo City Administration N. Y. Dashkovskaya, Chairman of the Committee of Education and Science of Novokuznetsk City Administration Y. A. Solovyeva talked with the rector of the TSPU A.N. Makarenko, Vice-Rector for Youth Policy and Educational Work D. B. Nasonov and Advisor to the Rector of the TSPU, the rector of the Tomsk Regional Institute of Professional Development and Retraining of Teaching Staff O. M. Zamyatina. Also S. A. Pfetzer, Deputy Minister of Education of Kuzbass remotely took part in the conversation.

The common theme was the discussion of interaction and development of optimal ways of preparing teaching staff for the Kemerovo Region. Indeed, the Tomsk State Pedagogical University has a significant number of applicants from Kuzbass: it takes second place following the Tomsk Region, which is the leader in the number of applicants. Despite this, it is no less important to develop a clear understanding of the purposeful demand from the Kemerovo Region: what teachers does the region need more, what training programs should be launched or optimized at the university in this regard, in what formats training of Kuzbass applicants can take place.

Later on, the visit program included an open dialogue with the Tomsk State Pedagogical University's students, who came to study at the university from Kemerovo Region. The main questions which were raised during the conversation were: what trajectories of future professional self-determination the students were considering; readiness of the students to return to their home region after graduation; what should be done to make a wish to work in the pedagogical field in their native Kuzbass a priority. The Minister of Education of Kuzbass and her colleagues told about the changes which are taking place in the region: construction of new schools according to the modern standards, growth of teachers' salary which now reaches 40 000 thousand rubles, readiness to provide young specialists with accommodation and many other things. During the conversation, students raised questions about the chances after graduation to work in the departments and offices of education; about the problems of teachers in small towns, where the infrastructure is not developed enough and there are problems of cultural development and leisure; about the importance of raising the prestige of the psychologist in educational institutions.

Of course, a short meeting could not be called comprehensive in terms of answers to the questions raised, but by the decision of both sides it was the beginning of an open dialogue about the cooperation between the Ministry of Education of Kuzbass and the Tomsk State Pedagogical University in terms of teacher training, and with students - about what should be done to make each of them, coming from big and small towns of Kemerovo Region, to return to their homes to teach. At the end of the meeting, students of the TSPU and representatives of the Ministry of Education of Kuzbass exchanged contacts in order to return once again to an open conversation about how to attract graduate teachers to their native region.

The materials of the VI International Scientific-Practical Seminar "Teaching Russian as a Foreign Language: Theory and Practice", which was held in Tomsk in November last year, have been published in the ninth issue of the Yearbook of Eastern European Studies (Wroclaw, Poland). The scientific event was organized by the specialists of the Center for Russian Language, the Department of International Cooperation (TSPU) and the Foundation "Institute of Professional Development" (Poland, Wroclaw). It was attended by specialists of the Tomsk State Pedagogical University as well as foreign undergraduate and graduate students of the university.

The Yearbook of Eastern European Studies is an international interdisciplinary journal devoted to humanitarian research in the field of history, literature, anthropology, politics, and culture of Eastern Europe. The journal is included in the international citation databases of Central and Eastern European Online Library and the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI). Specialists and foreign students of the TSPU had the opportunity to publish the results of research projects.

In their research, the university representatives spoke about the discursive approach to teaching a foreign language; studied the uniqueness of business etiquette in Chinese culture, spoke about the problems of speaking at the lesson of Russian as a foreign language in the Chinese classroom, noted the typological differences between Russian and Chinese phonetics, considered the textbook as a means of forming a language picture of the student and more.

The publication of the seminar materials was made possible thanks to the publishing and educational activities of Irina Popadeikina, Ph.D. in Philology and History, graduate of the Faculty of History and Philology, and Rafal Chahor, Ph.D. in Political Science, enthusiastic scholars and creators of the successful and promising scientific and educational project "Institute for Professional Development Foundation".

On June 8-9, the Pedagogical Forum of Russian Professors Assembly was held based on A. I. Herzen State Pedagogical University (Saint-Petersburg); the Forum was titled "University in the Epoch of Pedagogical Innovations". More than 450 people attended the forum. The Tomsk State Pedagogical University was represented by L. G. Smyshlyaeva, Vice-Rector for Development, and N. A. Semenova, Director of the Institute for Development of Teacher Education. A. N. Koshechko, Professor at the Faculty of History and Philology was the speaker at the forum.  Among the online participants were director of the Physics and Mathematics Center of the TSPU M. A. Chervonny, Head of the Institute for the Development of Pedagogical Education of the TSPU L. V. Kurovskaya, associate professor of the Institute of Foreign Languages and International Cooperation E. B. Petrova and experts of the Department of Strategic Communications and Information Policy.

The forum began with a discussion "Who Are You, the Modern Professor?". Forum experts discussed the changes that are happening today in the professional activities of professors, in particular the function of the professor in the conditions of transformation of universities, and considered the main factors influencing these changes. During the dialogue, the participants in the discussion shared their views on some topical issues: what has changed in the work of the contemporary professor? Is the professor's research activity the most important factor in ensuring the quality of higher education? Have shortcomings and risks appeared in the professor's professional activity?

Representatives of universities paid a lot of attention to the new digital format of educational activities. Opinions about the partial transition to "distance learning" are divided: some support the introduction of new technologies in the learning process, while others do not always find it effective and stick to traditional forms of knowledge transfer. However, according to the organizers of the discussion, "it is important to understand which of the best traditional practices should be preserved, and not to lose the experience, passing it from generation to generation. At the same time, experience and tradition should be skillfully and competently combined with the existing opportunities of digitalization, innovative and experimental practices.

At the meetings, the following topics were raised: education in the university (general cultural development as the basis for education, the experience of organizing educational activities); the need for language competence of graduates (markers of language educational space, professional communications in the language training of students, the formation of communicative skills); the current state, problems, and prospects of improving the certification of scientific personnel (ways to improve the quality of theses and dissertations).

Within the section "Digital education: opportunities and risks" speakers discussed the issue of distance learning for students with the use of technical and digital tools: the main trends and prospects of development of the market of digital learning technologies, the use of digital education technologies in training master's degree, tools to increase student motivation in online learning.

The report "Cognitive and psychological processes in online learning: pedagogical risks and opportunities" was presented by Professor Anastasia Nikolaevna Koshechko, Doctor of Philology, Director of the International Scientific and Practical Center of Axiology and Methodology of Spiritual and Moral Education of the TPSU. The expert outlined the main points: online learning as a new educational reality, the specifics of cognitive and psychological processes of subjects in online learning, pedagogical risks and pedagogical opportunities of online learning, the portrait of the teacher, and effective communication strategies.

Among the strengths of distance learning, the speaker highlighted the creation of individual educational trajectories, the possibility of a wide choice of tools and materials (photo and video files, audio recordings), psychological comfort, and others. However, under the conditions of the new norm, there is a change in cognitive and psychological processes as well as specifics of pedagogical activity. The new reality in which a modern teacher has to work has its own risks: emotional burnout syndrome, the problem of digital transformation of pedagogical consciousness, the complexity of unification of real and virtual educational environments, a different culture of communication, inaccurate perception of information. The biggest problem is seen in the last point: it is an inaccuracy of perception of information that leads to a decrease in the level of knowledge and academic performance due to the loss of ability to analyze and concentrate. In addition, in her speech, the professor identified the peculiarities of online communication: disconnected and clip way of thinking, a high degree of anonymity, and contact globalization.

According to Anastasia Nikolaevna, the new image of the teacher, which includes new formats of leadership, can help overcome these risks. As an example, the speaker mentioned her educational projects, implemented in the virtual environment: the interactive dialogue "Evening tea with Anastasia Koshechko", the open online group "Reading as a way of life" and others.

The forum will be closed with a plenary session, which will take place on June 9 from 10.00 to 14.00 Moscow time. The reports will be devoted to the social mission of the modern university, the transition from pedagogical institutes to anthropological universities, discussion of the modern teacher's portrait, the problems of implementing new research and educational directions, the national traditions of university training in the innovative development of higher education system

The educational program of the All-Russian student competition "Your move" — ​​a new project of the presidential platform "Russia — the country of opportunities" was held yesterday within the walls of the Tomsk State University. The initiative to choose the TSPU as ambassadors and participants of the competition in the Siberian Federal District was made by 17 students and leaders of the student government of the university: the first plans have already been proposed.

The seminar brought together activists of student communities, young professionals and scientists, representatives of creative and sports youth.

“I am going to the competition to gain new experience, improve communication skills, learn to find a common language with different people, and convey important information to the target audience in an interesting and informative way, — says Anastasia Nacharova, student of the Institute of Childhood. — The events of the meeting were unusual, especially the final game: we were in the role of artists, interact with other teams, agreed, exchanged materials. As a result, we got one big picture, consisting of nine parts. This format helps to understand that we are all part of one big team, and the result depends on each of us".

Classes were conducted by invited trainers from different cities of Russia. Dmitry Andreevich Buinitsky, head of the youth policy department, talks about the advantages of participation in order to attract as many students as possible to the competition.

“The main task now is to recruit a team that will promote information about the competition through posts on social networks, stories about directions, opportunities, and prospects for participation. This is necessary in order to inform students about the project in detail and to motivate them to participate. The more our students respond and register, the higher the chances to win".

Registration of participants is organized on the website твойход.онлайн and will last until June 12, 2021. The winners will receive grants in the amount of 1,000,000 rubles for training, launching a startup, or improving housing conditions. Of these, 50 top winners will be awarded additional grants in the amount of 2,500,000 million rubles, which can be spent on the development of their faculty or university. The best contestants will travel through Russia and receive internships to the country's leading companies.

The regional stage of the Russian national award "Student of the Year" has come to an end in Tomsk. Students of the TSPU presented the university in individual and collective nominations: "Social activist of the year", "Student media of the year", "Chairman of the Council of students", "Volunteer association of the year". In the treasury of the TSPU's achievements, students have brought two victories and a prize place!

The long-awaited results of the regional stage were announced on May 14. The victory in the individual nomination "Chairman of the Students' Council" was won by Karina Pendyak, a student of the Faculty of History and Philology. The first place in the nomination "Student Media of the Year" was won by the TSPU TV team. Volunteers of Pedagogical became the second.

Now the winners will take part in the all-Russian stage of the award, which will take place in the Tomsk region in November.

Aidana Yerlan, a student of the TSPU, became the winner of the International "Scholar" contest held at the Chuvash State University named after I. N. Ulyanov, and also took third place in the contest in Russian as a foreign language "Learn Online" organized by the Tomsk State University.

Aidana came to study at the TSPU from Mongolia more than two years ago. She entered the Faculty of History and Philology in order to become closer to the beautiful language and Russian culture. She actively participates in contests dedicated to the great and mighty Russian language, constantly strengthening her knowledge and learning new things. In studying a foreign language and searching for interesting competitions to test her skills, including distance ones, Aidanа is assisted by teachers of the Department of Language Theory and Methods of Teaching Russian at the Institute of Philosophy.

“During the long quarantine, there was no opportunity to study in the classroom. To develop my knowledge, I decided to participate in online contests. It really helped me to keep up with learning the language, to continue to practice it, even while I stuck in my homeland”, — says Aidana.

As she notes, there were some difficulties in solving problems, which only made her eager to learn something new. For the student, it was especially easy to pass listening and vocabulary tests, since she is constantly in the linguistic environment, hears Russian speech, and practices it herself.

For the creative part of the contest "Learning Online", Aidana shot a video dedicated to the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning. The organizers of the "Scholar" also proposed to shoot a video about Russian culture and write an essay about any famous Russian doctor. The efforts and perseverance of our student were appreciated by the organizers and members of the jury of both contests: Aidana took the victorious and prize-winning places.

“In my opinion, the purpose of these contests is to promote the Russian language in the world, thanks to such competitions, the interest in studying it among foreign students is growing rapidly”, — says Aidana. As she emphasizes, thanks to such events, foreign students can not only improve their existing knowledge of the Russian language and culture of the Russian people but also constantly enrich them.

On April 9, the Tomsk State Pedagogical University celebrated the upcoming milestone date for the whole country — the 60th anniversary of the first man's flight into space. Within the walls of the university, a series of atmospheric events Science up #TSPUAbsoluteSpace took place.

For pupils of 9-10 grades of schools an intellectual and entertaining game "Cosmoquest in Pedagogical" was held in the city of Tomsk in the Scientific Library of the TSPU, during which the participants not only demonstrated their wit but also received new knowledge about space. The TSPU students accompanied the pupils:

“I helped schoolchildren find their way in our huge library. And while they were being tested, I learned a lot for myself. For example, in 2006 the last planet was transferred to the status of a dwarf planet. I have never heard of this. I was glad to broaden my horizons”, — says Nikolai Korablin, curator of the "Cosmostars team", a first-year student at the Institute for Nuclear Medicine.

The quest featured nine educational playgrounds from the faculties and Institutes of the TSPU. For example, at the "ISS Bureau of Investigation" station, the students asked the participants to find out, using logic and attention, which of the crew members of the spacecraft made an emergency landing and what was his motive. At the “Space Fitness” location, the schoolchildren showed their athletic level and were trained for the flight. The psychological difficulties experienced by the cosmonauts and the methods of dealing with them were discussed at the "Cosmic Psycholectorium". The contestants were able to learn more about nutrition for the crew of the spacecraft in the "Space Kitchen", and the students of the Faculty of Physics and mathematics helped the teams to look into the radio receiver and study its structure at a location "Technical Station Gromozeka". Sorting garbage in space, peculiarities of the structure and composition of planets — the participants learned about this and many other things at our "Cosmoquest".

"It was great to feel like real detectives at the station of the Institute of Foreign languages and international cooperation. They also told us about the composition of the planets and the structure of a radio receiver, such a seemingly familiar object”, — says Yana Smirnova, a member of the“ Cosmostars ”team, a student of the school №4.

However, not only the participants and their curators, but also the school teachers who accompanied the children, despite many years of experience in teaching natural sciences, were able to discover something new about space at the TSPU:

“It was surprising for me to learn about some facts from the life of Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin. Since I am a physicist, I also liked the station where they talked about radio. In my lessons, I can not always show it, but here is such a detailed, visual layout with a demonstration", — says Olga Alekseevna Kurakova, a physics teacher at secondary school №4.

The teacher notes that children will be able to transfer the knowledge acquired on the TSPU quest to their friends at school and motivate them to take part in such games in the future. Olga Alekseevna also emphasizes the high importance of such events for modern youth, since the younger generation should know about the achievements of all mankind:

"I am very impressed by this format, because the topical contests, for example, are just a test for the mind, but here there is an element of the game that unites the guys, motivates them to learn something new."

After completing all the tests and counting the votes, the winners and prize-winners of the quest were determined. However, no one left empty-handed: the teams received gifts from the partners of the quest — the "Tomskoye Moloko" company, the Tomsk Planetarium, the "Angaria" ice cream factory, and the "Siberia" radio station. The quest was completed by a photo session of the participants who were able to "try on" the spacesuit.

In addition, students and all interested Tomsk residents were invited to the "Space in a grown-up way" — a series of fascinating popular science lectures prepared by the best Tomsk lecturers as part of the celebration of Cosmonautics Day. At the meeting, the audience examined the Universe in detail, heard the "voice" of the Galaxy, and traveled back to April 12, 1961, when the first man went into space.

In the official part, popular science reports on the topic were presented by city scientists. Iosif Lvovich Buchbinder, Russian theoretical physicist, doctor of physical and mathematical sciences, professor of TSPU, in his lecture "The first steps of cosmology" told how the origin of this science took place and what its questions still remain open.

Vyacheslav Nikolayevich Zyryanov, a researcher at the Tomsk Planetarium, in his speech on the topic "Space Tomsk" told about outstanding scientists, engineers, designers, and cosmonauts from Tomsk, who were involved not only in the first launch of a spacecraft with a passenger on board but also made a huge contribution to the further development of Soviet and Russian cosmonautics.

Alexey Removich Arzhanik, associate professor of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the TSPU, not only gave a lecture on the organization of communication via satellites but also showed a visual experiment that confirms the theory.

Alexei Removich noted the opportunity of each student to make a significant contribution to the development of astronautics:

“Our graduates not only become teachers and work in schools but also find their vocation in such rapidly developing promising industries as astronautics. Studying at TSPU, they acquire broader knowledge than just subject knowledge, so after university, they achieve great success”, — said the associate professor of the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of the TSPU.

Space travel into the depths and secrets of the Galaxy did not leave indifferent any participant of the Science up #TSPUAbsoluteSpace events: this is confirmed by numerous reviews and posts on social networks published by the guests of the program. This feedback shows that it is important and necessary to talk about space in a scientific way since Tomsk citizens are eager to obtain and expand their knowledge.

The women's student basketball team of the TSPU under the leadership of Oleg Valerievich Smirnov defeated the nine-time champion of Siberia and entered the list of eight strongest teams that will meet in the All-Russian playoff.

The Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University (NSPU) has not lost since 2012, holding its position among other teams and not interrupting its 127-match winning streak. However, this time the TSPU team also did not want to concede and literally snatched the victory from the rivals. The teams were neck and neck This, of course, made the game tense, but very interesting for viewers and fans. The result was sensational: 62:59 in favor of the TSPU!

“Before the game, the coach told us: 'I feel we will win tomorrow'. Maybe his confidence in our strength was passed on to us. We went out in the mood to play for fun, to show our best basketball, and to be one solid team on the court. The girls from the bench played an equally important role in this victory: they charged us with their support throughout the game”, — says Snezhana Suvorova.

Of course, everyone in the team is significant, but there are also distinguished players. For example, Snezhana Suvorova became the best player in this legendary match:

“During the game, I didn't think about scoring the points. The only thought was to give all the best, to leave all the forces on the site. I do not think that I was somehow very different, because each of us did everything possible for this victory. Every rebound, interception, every ball that all the girls from the team fought to made this victory possible".

The athletes noted that the NSPU team was confident in their victory, and therefore played especially calmly. All previous matches with this team were just as difficult. And this time they did their best to bring victory to the Tomsk Pedagogical. The participation of the TSPU team in the Last-8 of the Belov League will definitely go down in the history of women's student basketball in Siberia and basketball at the TSPU.

"Thank you for your congratulations! Many people (including teachers, university graduates, and students) sincerely congratulated me today. It's nice that you believe in the team! — Elena Senchenko, a student of the TSPU says. — The team spirit helped to win. We went with anger and throughout the game, we were actively defending and attacking. In general, TEAM play and desire helped. The entire cast supported and believed in each other for 40 minutes".

As the coach of the TSPU team Oleg Valerievich Smirnov, candidate of pedagogical sciences, associate professor of the Faculty of physical culture and sports, said, it was not so easy to join the training process after a break due to the virus, therefore, from the very beginning of the season, the athletes trained hard, gained shape:

“There were no definite tactics against the NSPU team: we played offensively, as usual, defended ourselves by the zone, since the opponents' players were superior to our team in height, so we needed reinforcing guardianship under the basket. I said the girls to play for their own pleasure. I think the most important thing is that basketball is fun for the players themselves".

The strong desire of our athletes to win was also noted by the coach of the NSPU national team Andrei Volkov:

“Already during the game at the divisional stage (51:46) the TSPU gave us a lot of trouble, we tried to draw conclusions, but we did not succeed in what we wanted to accomplish... Congratulations to the team of the Tomsk Pedagogical and Oleg Valerievich on a well-deserved victory and going to the next stage”.

We are proud of you, our athletes, and are ready to support you in the fight against the Ural Federal University in Tomsk and Yekaterinburg!

20 teachers from 15 regions of the country passed a competitive selection to participate in the advanced training program "Teaching Mathematics in the Primary School Course" at the Sirius Educational Center in the city of Sochi. A route sheet to the program was awarded to Timur Talgatovich Gazizov, professor, doctor of technical sciences, associate professor of the Tomsk State Pedagogical University.

At the selection stage, candidates submitted personal questionnaires and cover letters, in which they described their professional goals and expectations from the program. The interview with experts was a crucial task. The best of the best went to Sochi for new knowledge and experience.

As part of the six-day program, teachers got acquainted with modern teaching methods of schoolchildren and studied the specifics of the formation of developmental education programs for schoolchildren of 7-11 years old. Four main topics were examined in particular detail: graphs, strategies, motion problems, combinatorics. In addition, after passing the courses, the participants were able to master the programs for preparing students for intellectual competitions of various levels. This program has become unique, since earlier at the Sirius center, courses were aimed at children from graduation classes. Now the teachers have the opportunity to dive into the specifics of the methods that are used in elementary school. The authors of the profile shift were members of the "Twice Two" creative laboratory, who are actively working with junior schoolchildren in Moscow.

As with any educational course, at the end of the program, it was supposed to defend the graduation work. Timur Talgatovich prepared a lesson on the topic "Heads and Legs" for 4 graders, which was later worked out in the course of students of the Institute of Childhood:

«As a result of the experience gained in Sirius, I was able to conduct a lesson for the students of the TSPU's institute of Childhood in the framework of the discipline "Theory of teaching mathematics in elementary school". Special thanks to the management of the Institute: I. A. Drozdetskaya and Associate Professor of the Department of Pedagogy and Methods of Primary Education N.V. Fetisova for cooperation».

With the help of improvised means, Students of the Institute were able to experimentally work out various mathematical exercises. For example, with only a sheet of paper, scissors, and glue, the students created a Mobius strip.

«Using simple mathematical exercises, we managed to conduct a very interesting visual experiment, which we will then show to our students and present them rather complex mathematical material easily and simply. It was very interesting!» — said the student of the group 682 of the Institute of Childhood Patskikh Ekaterina.

Gazizov notes that such courses are very important for the pedagogical staff of the TSPU: the experience of "Sirius" can be applied in various disciplines taught at our university, due to the universal nature of the received methods and forms of education.
