The article describes the experience of ICT training courses within design in the schools system, “international baccalaureate”. A comparison of this approach with the Russian experience of teaching Informatics at school is applied. Approaches to the application of students’ research activity in the framework of teaching computer science is also discussed in the article.

The article is devoted to networking foreign universities, in particular, it considers the experience of cooperation of Vietnamese and Chinese universities with the leading universities of the world and the implementation of joint educational projects. The article deals with the basic characteristics of university networks that emerged in the last decade in developing countries. The authors analyzed the model, sources of financing, the organization of educational process, teaching of languages and the number of students in the university network, as well as the main mechanisms that allow open network structure of education in different countries of the world. The authors also address the main reasons for encouraging networking of foreign universities.

The article describes the best ways of using of information technologies in the teaching of the discipline “Econometrics: basic level”, which appears an inseparable part of the applied mathematical training for Economics students at Plekhanov Russian University of Economics. These results, including fragments of educational-cognitive activity of the student within the academic discipline “Econometrics: a basic level”, allow us to estimate methodical and research potentials of the knowledge base and set of WolframAlpha computational algorithms in the applied mathematical training system for Bachelor of Economics. Disclosed possible operators WolframAlpha - fit, linear fit, quartic fit, cubic fit, quadratic fit on imaging problems depending on the level of consumption by income level (John Maynard Keynes’s model), a tool for building a research and regression analysis appears. Recommendations on the content of economic and methodical interpretation of the results: the establishment of the marginal propensity to consume, the level of consumption in the absence of income by using the Akaike information criteria and Bayesian, coefficient of determination, normalized coefficient of determination. Allocated sequence and the main features of the work of the students with the construction and analysis of the various econometric models WolframAlpha, choice of correlation, the most adequate study of the economic situation.

The article focuses on the feasibility of applying information technologies in the process of training future geologists. Considers the methodological aspects of teaching future geologists information technologies. As an example the vector editor CorelDraw, which allows to perform vector drawings is considered. Formulate conclusions that the use of specialized software for solving geological problems in the classroom will help future professionals to acquire the skills to processing geological data, evaluating the results of developments in the student work, projects, and to increase the level of information technological and professional competence.

At reduction of contact time in subject matters the instruments of preservation of active forms of studying for students assuming independent research work are required. One of such forms is peer-to- peer evaluation of works (peer assessment) allowing to go beyond a narrow framework of automaticallychecked tests for the level of small research works. In article results of a two-year experiment on use of a piring on a stream course are given in MIEM Higher School of Economics National Research University taking into account specifics of audience rather mass online of courses.The received results and conclusions have formed a basis for modeling of ways of estimation of written works at peer-to-peer check without participation of the teacher. In an experiment schemes of estimation and motivation for management of a ratio of number of authors and reviewers have been fulfilled, and also the general questions of use of the offered system of assessment it is aware.

This article concentrates on the basic materials of the educational and methodical complex of a modern format (cloud-based and interactive), used in the educational process of the course “Informatics”, which significantly expands the share of independent work of students according to the increased number of students’ practical work (laboratory work, educational projects, essays). This workshop focuses on mastering the methods of work with personal mobile and office computers, Office programs, Internet technologies by students and making students receive the competences to solve topical applied problems. Efficiency of students’ independent work is additionally ensured by educational and methodical tutorials (lecture notes and compilations of test tasks), excercises, models and examples of performing all tasks, developed by the authors of the article.

In contemporary world human capital is much more important than natural resources or accumulated wealth. The person’s ability, knowledge, abilities, skills in the conditions of market economy are considered as an asset generating regular income. This article examines the critical role of education in the accumulation of a certain level of knowledge in the formation of human capital. To reduce risks in increasing the human capital of the high school, developed a technique of students training aimed at the development and implementation of a systematic approach to the logical basis study of the higher professional education course.

The article draws attention to the fact that the Informatization of primary education is a uniform process, in which I the first turn mathematics and computer science are associated. Learning these disciplines is in natural interrelation and this comes from the nature of these disciplines. But in other subjects both mathematics and computer science play an applied role. It is proved that at the modern stage of Informatization in education contributes to improving the quality of assimilated knowledge acquired and skills.The article touches upon issues that reveal the relevance of the subject of Informatics in education. In connection with the information development there is a need of Informatization of education and society as a whole. The basic concepts of Informatics as a scientific and academic discipline are shown. Set out the subject, object and objectives of teaching science. Methodical program of the subject, aimed to develop school education is also considered.
