Many educational institutions, assessing their prospects, plan to develop distance educational services using their own electronic and information educational environments (EIEE). During creating and operating EIEE of educational institution (EI), a number of questions arise related to structural, marketing, personnel and other decisions. The purpose of this article is to research the organizational, technical and didactic aspects of the EIEE EI. The methodology of the research is based on methods of system analysis, cybernetics, pedagogical psychology and didacticism.A conceptual model of the EIEE EI as an organizational and technical system has been proposed. It includes a marketing subsystem, a set of technical tools, various types of security and an organizational subsystem. The main functions of these subsystems and their various components have been identified.A didactic model of a typical complex of digital educational resources has been developed. Within this model, the diversity of digital educational resources across each academic discipline is integrated into complexes that provide a complete study at different target levels of assimilation, from initial acquaintance to solving uncharacteristic professionally oriented tasks.From the point of view of pedagogical psychology and cybernetics, the high importance of feedback in EIEE EI is shown. The classification of feedbacks (internal and external) is proposed for the triad “Teacher – Teaching Program – Learner”. The limits of the use of automation in the formation of feedbacks are specified, as opposed to other (non-computer) responses to students’ educational activities. The role and place of feedback in the “digital footprints” of students and teachers is shown and the directions for the use of this data in artificial intelligence systems are outlined.

The article is devoted to studies of the psychology of interaction of families and educational institutions. Through a prism of genetic psychology and the system approach as methodological paradigm of research theoretic and empirical study of interaction of a family with educational social institutions was carried out. Features of families and educational institutions as systems were explored. The complete system analysis of a phenomenon of intersystem interaction between systems “family” and “educational institution” is carried out. The interaction concept between a family and an educational institution is developed, interaction is the backbone factor. The educational institution has the double nature of the organization: it is a formal structure which is created by society for realization of teaching and educational process; and it is a system, which is being self-administrated.

Исследовано три решения проблематики нелинейного процесса организации доступа в АИС образовательного спектра. Определены ключевые причины появления затруднений с использованием автоматизированных информационных систем и проведен анализ существующих средств и методик, которые применяются при организации взаимодействия между пользователями и АИС. Статья объясняет, каким образом можно упростить доступ к АИС путем использования принципов декомпозиции и иерархичности. В реализации указано, какой может быть структура АИС типового образовательного учреждения. Проведено сравнение преимуществ и недостатков разных систем бухгалтерского, управленческого, хозяйственно-экономического учета с точки зрения интеграции в работу высших учебных заведений. Отдельное внимание уделено анализу механизмов и особенностей взаимодействия между подсистемами АИС и базой данных на примере проведения аттестационных мероприятий. На основании изученных аспектов функционирования АИС сделан вывод о недостаточности использования вузами локальных систем и необходимости разработки и последующей интеграции персонализированных высокотехнологичных решений, которые позволят увеличить эффективность образовательной деятельности. В перспективах показано, какие задачи можно поставить перед собой, чтобы внедрить дополнительные аспекты декомпозиции и иерархичности в аналогичных системах We investigate three solutions to the problem of the nonlinear process of organizing access to the AIS of the educational spectrum. We identified the key reasons for the emergence of difficulties with the use of automated information systems and carried out the analysis of existing tools and techniques that are used in organizing interaction between users and AIS. We explained in what way we can simplify the access to AIS by using the principles of decomposition and hierarchy. The implementation indicates what the structure of the AIS of a typical educational institution can be. We carried out comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of different systems of accounting, managerial economic and economic accounting from the point of view of integration into the work of higher educational institutions. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the mechanisms and features of the interaction between the AIS subsystems and the database on the example of carrying out certification activities. On the basis of the studied aspects of the functioning of the AIS, we made a conclusion about the insufficient use of local systems by universities and the need for the development and subsequent integration of personalized high-tech solutions that will increase the efficiency of educational activities. The perspectives show what tasks you can set in order to implement additional aspects of decomposition and hierarchy in similar systems

In historical point of view every human generation learn some standard practices in upbringing from previous generations but create new. In contemporary pedagogy this processes are connected with two basic educational functions – conservative and progressive. Conservatism represent save and continuation of traditional practices in upbringing chiefly in family and educational institutions but according to progressive idea this practices have to be partial or completely changed. This change is important condition for adaptation on children to the present and the future. On the other hand, all this can generate series of contradictions and paradoxes in actions on basic upbringing factors – family and educational institution. In this article the author examine some dysfunctions of educational practices on this factors, as refusal to execute their basic functions, evade responsibility, don’t attach importance to main social problems, inefficient educational practices and so on.

The research relevance is due to the growing interest of teachers in introducing Augmented Reality (AR) technologies into the course of Engineering and Computer Graphics (ECG). The research aims to study the current state of knowledge and practice of existing courses using AR-technologies, including those for geometric-graphic training of high educational institutions students. The research object was the subject readiness of engineering students to master graphic disciplines based on the AR-concept. More than 200 scientific papers published between 2005 and 2020 were selected to review the qualitative and quantitative AR-research in the education area. For this purpose, the following factors were taken into account: category of educational institution and student, publication year, academic discipline, AR-technologies. Have been presented examples for AR-technologies implementation at different levels of education, such as preschool, school, higher and special ones. Special focus has been on consideration of teachers’ experience related to AR-technologies introducing in geometric training courses. It has been revealed that at present the AR-concept has gained popularity not only among designers, but also among schoolteachers, as well as among engineering high educational institutions’ lecturers. The lack of sufficient amount of scientifically based and tested programs and training materials for student teaching on ECG using AR has been proved. The necessity for further scientific research in the area of AR application to teach students on ECG has been justified. The research base was St. Petersburg Mining University. The paper materials may be useful for high educational institutions’ lecturers, schoolteachers, and parents.

RESUMEN El propósito de esta investigación es estudiar la relación existente entre la calidad percibida y la calidad esperada desde las percepciones de los estudiantes en cuatro instituciones educativas de Huamanga, Ayacucho. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo correlacional y comparativo de medias con la finalidad de determinar, primero, si existía relación entre las variables. En  segundo lugar, verificar si se producían   diferencias significativas entre las mismas. El análisis correlacional nos permitió identificar procesos o patrones existentes en el mundo de las percepciones con respecto a la relación entre las variables; así como el análisis de diferencia de medias nos proporcionó evidencias de la evaluación general de la calidad del servicio educativo que se brinda en dichas instituciones. El estudio fue realizado a dos niveles: el general, considerando las cuatro instituciones educativas como grupo y el desagregado, por cada institución educativa. La muestra estuvo conformada por 339 estudiantes, correspondientes a cuatro instituciones educativas emblemáticas de la ciudad de Huamanga, Ayacucho. Los instrumentos de medición de las variables calidad percibida y calidad esperada, presentan una fuerte confiabilidad y cada uno de sus ítems muestra una alta consistencia interna. Descriptivamente, los resultados muestran que, para el 54% de los estudiantes encuestados, la calidad percibida es menor o igual que la media y para el 46% la calidad percibida es alta o muy alta. Respecto a la calidad esperada, el 27.2% espera una calidad baja o media, mientras que el 72.8% espera que sea alta o muy alta. En otras palabras, más de la mitad percibe una calidad baja o igual a la media y casi tres cuartas partes esperan una mejor calidad de la que están recibiendo. Por otro lado, en la evaluación de la calidad general del servicio (calidad percibida menos calidad esperada) se encuentra que para el 71% de estudiantes, la calidad es deficiente, ya que no llegan a percibirla como esperan, mientras que para el 29% la calidad es buena o excelente porque obtienen una calidad igual o que excede lo esperado. Desde el punto vista inferencial, se demuestra que existe una correlación moderada, positiva y significativa entre las variables calidad percibida y esperada. Sin embargo, al analizar dividiendo al grupo en valoraciones de la calidad percibida sobre y bajo la media, se encuentra que no existe correlación significativa entre las dos variables en el caso de estudiantes que valoran por debajo de la media. Por otro lado,  existe correlación positiva y significativa en el grupo de los alumnos que valoran por sobre la media. Este dato tiene enormes implicancias para los procesos de mejoramiento de la calidad. La diferencia de medias entre las variables es altamente significativa y con mayor valor hacia lo esperado que a lo percibido. Esto implica que la calidad del servicio educativo es significativamente deficiente.  ABSTRACT The purpose of this investigation was to study the relationship between perceived quality and expected quality of student’s perceptions from four educational institutions of Huamanga, Ayacucho. Correlational descriptive analyses and comparison of means were applied with the aim to determine if there was any relationship or any significant differences between the variables. Correlational analyses allowed identifying the processes or patterns in the world of perceptions about the relationship between variables and analysis of mean difference provided us with evidence of the overall assessment of the quality of education that is offered in these educational institutions. The study was conducted at two levels: the studies of a general nature which considered the four educational institutions and the disaggregated study on each educational institution. The sample consisted of 339 students, corresponding to four emblematic educational institutions of Huamanga, Ayacucho. The perceived quality and expected quality variables measuring instruments have a strong reliability and each of its items shows high internal consistency. Descriptively, the results show that for the 54% of students surveyed,  the perceived quality is less than or equal to the average, and for the 46% perceived quality is high or higher than the  expected quality ,, the perceptions of the  27.2% of students  about quality service received is  from  low to medium, while the 72.8% expected to be high or very high. In other words, more than half students perceived a lower quality or equal to the average and almost three-quarters expect a better quality than the one they are receiving. On the other hand, the evaluation of the overall quality of service (perceived quality minus expected quality) shows that for the 71% of students, the quality is deficient because they don’t get to perceive the quality they expect, while for the 29% the quality is good or excellent because they get an equal quality or exceed expectations.From the inferential point of view, it shows there’s a moderate correlation, positive and significant relationship between perceived and expected quality variables. However, the analysis by dividing the group in perceived quality variable ratings above and below the average shows that there’s no significant correlation between the two variables in the case of students who value below average. Instead, there’s a positive and significant correlation in the group of students who value above average. This fact has enormous implications for the processes of quality improvement. The mean difference among the variables is highly significant and greater value to the expected than the perceived. This implies that the educational service quality is significantly deficient.
