Abstract
The article describes the experience of creating original international Russian-Kazakhstan model of dual diploma master's education based on the development and implementation of combined educational programs on the basis of two different, but similar in the direction of training educational programs: the Russian master's program “Information technologies in education” in the direction “Pedagogical education” and the Kazakhstan master's program “Information systems” in the direction “Technical sciences and technologies”. The annotations of the content of academic disciplines that are mutually credited to the students in parallel master's programs are given. Based on the analysis of the long experience in the implementation of the dual diploma master's educational programs, a conclusion is made about assessing the feasibility of this model of the dual diploma master's education, and the organizational and financial-economic aspects of the implementation of this approach based on the use of advanced distance learning technologies are touched upon.

Abstract
The article presents the author's model of network cluster-distributed integration of pedagogical University with educational organizations of the region for joint training in the field of programming of students of specialized classes and future teachers of Informatics on the basis of tools of specially created smart environment. On the example of the content of the subject area "Languages and methods of programming" describes the possibility of integration of pedagogical University with secondary schools to strengthen the line of preparation of subjects of the educational process to collective research activities in the field of information technology. The article describes the tools of the smart environment, allowing to implement subsets of virtual platforms, providing a full cycle of solving problems of pedagogical management of the process of preparation of research projects, jointly performed by students and schoolchildren in a distributed mode. And as a key means of training the authors suggest the use of personalized training materials and tasks designed in the environment using machine learning algorithms. At the same time, the special feature of the proposed model is the availability of means of gamification of the main stages of project implementation, allowing to maintain the necessary level of educational motivation. It is assumed that such a model can be the basis for solving the scientific and methodological problem of ensuring the effectiveness of the process of subject training of future teachers of computer science in the field of programming, taking into account its increasing role in the formation of intellectual capital of personnel for the digital economy and the realities of digital transformation of higher education, while strengthening the readiness for research activities.

Abstract
Use of the Analytic Hierarchy Process for work consistency estimation of experts of the regional subject commissions on assessment of the problems with detailed answers of the General State Exam and the Unified State Exam is considered in the paper. This process is a mathematical technique of system approach for the complex problems of decision making. It is used in the different fields from management on interstate level to the solving the sectoral and particular problems in business, industry, public health and education. Its use for work consistency estimation of experts of the regional subject commissions on assessment of the problems with detailed answers of the General State Exam and the Unified State Exam is conditioned by a need of such technique development which will allow decreasing extremely the influence of subjectivity at commission formation as well as at awarding the status to ones and others experts inside the commission. And this is the key specialty of this process because in the most cases the approaches, considered for the solving the similar problems, are based on the results of the third (seniors or leading) experts as standard. Suggested technique allows estimating the work of every concrete expert in the frame of all commission even at the case, when he was carrying out cross validation with only some others its members. At thus the status of expert is not significant for estimation his efficiency but the absence or presence a difference in grades suggested by him and other commission members for problems solutions of exam participant are significant. At the same time the efficiency of last ones work is also estimated personally by the similar way at the consideration of their cross validations with other expert groups. Suggested principle of Analytic Hierarchy Process’ application allows using the results of work of the regional subject commissions on assessment of the problems with detailed answers of the General State Exam and the Unified State Exam in the current year for modification of the commission in the next one with a purpose to enhance the consistency of exam works validation by the experts.

Abstract
The relevance of the study under consideration is due to the need to increase the efficiency of students independent work in solving computational problems. A theoretical rationale is proposed and the practical implementation of an automated training and diagnostic system for the formation of skills to solve problems according to the “white box” model is described. The leading idea of the study is the construction of mental schemes for a given topic, which allow to visualize the dynamics of changes in the learner’s level of ability to solve computational problems. The methods of accounting for forgetting educational information and methods of personalized selection of tasks are substantiated. The site for self-management of user independent work is available at the link: http://msbx.ru. The materials of the article are of practical value for teachers who use e-learning tools in the educational process.

Abstract
The technology of blended learning is one of the modern trends in education both in the world and in Russia. The article explores the various possibilities of blended learning technology. As a means of implementing online learning, it is proposed to use LMS Moodle, which is widely used among educational organizations. The categorization of the main elements of Moodle from the perspective of the organization of pedagogical control, forms of presentation of teaching materials is presented. Examples of the use of basic resources and elements of Moodle in the educational process are given. The interactive properties of individual elements those allow you to more effectively implement online learning in blended learning technology are revealed. An approach is proposed to understand the essence of blended learning technology as a technology that allows to activate a student’s activities in the framework of full-time education by using online training and transferring (from full-time education) those activities that students are able to implement in the absence of a teacher.

Abstract
The purpose of this mixed methods study was to determine the barriers that special educator teachers encounter when using iPads within the Life Skills classroom. The research investigates the experiences, frustrations, and barriers through educators’ perceptions of iPad implementation. The influence of these issues suggests why iPad usage is not a device that special education classrooms are using in a widespread daily manner. Exploration of iPads as an educational tool and as a communication device is also discussed, along with considerations of other communications systems such as Picture Exchange Communication Systems and Alternative and Augmented Communication Devices is considered. Recommendations for further possible research are also discussed.
