Volkhin S.N., Kadison Yu.B., Razumova Ye.D.

The major task of educational space integration, on the opinion of the Bologna Declaration developers, is the increase of European and Russian educational systems quality, the educational service appeal guaranteeing due to substantial perfection, professional exchange and scientific communication channels creation. However, together with positive changes within the system of Russian Education the following recessionary features are specified: the listeners´ contingent change, as the paid education allows entering higher educational institutions to the enrollees with poor educational level, that creates serious conflicts in the "teacher-student" system in some instances; the loss by the institutes of the socializing function and the transfer to the relations between the teacher and the learner according to the "delivering-getting a service" principle; the presence of ill-founded educational innovations, the application of foreign training and up-bringing methods.

The quality problem is a predominant one in the National project, which is actively being realized in the education of Russia. Certainly, the choice of specialists´ training technology - is an efficient means of getting and retaining advantages in the competitive edge. The changes in curricula and programs, teaching methods, internal activity organization can be referred to purely pedagogical innovations. The sources of renovation and educational process efficiency upgrading in training students of a private educational institution of higher professional education the Tula Institute of Management and Business are the following components: creativity, humanization, and educational management. The formation of innovation directivity supposes the availability of special criteria allowing judging about the efficiency of this or that innovation. Today, besides the traditional criteria, the teachers use the student´s knowledge rating estimate, which is formed by the accumulation of semestral (intrasemestral) marks at different kinds of Certifying Examinations. The announcement for the student of his rank (place), which he takes in the group, stream, course, specialty both in all and separate disciplines according to his rating serves an important psychological moment. The transfer to rating estimations, as the experience shows, increases the contentiousness of students, touches their ambition, and promotes the academic activity. Besides, the rating estimations got by the accumulation of intrasemestral ones are more objective than the results of one-time examinations and promote a methodic work during a semester. The rating system supposes a leave from a traditional four-point appraisal. It allows making the training quality control more flexible, having a constant informative feedback about the students´ material adoption level and carrying out an appropriate adjustment in the discipline teaching methods in the process of training. The Institute teachers use the following innovation methods of training: the problem and project methods of teaching, analytical abstracting, task approach, research method, presentation method and others. While developing the disciplines and organizing extracurricular learning sessions the teachers orient themselves not only to training a professional, a specialist able to meet competitions, but also to the formation of moral standards and directives in students. That is why the leading principles of students´ up-bringing appear: the humanization principle, i.e. the recognition of the student´s personality as self-worth; the esteem of its unicity and singularity; the formation of healthy life style need; the principle of professional orientation - the acquisition of professional community ethic norms by the future specialists, the formation of responsibility for their professional activity results; the principle of consistency - the establishment of interaction relations between the subjects of extracurricular activity in the integrated educational programs implementation; the voluntary principle - gives the student the right of choice of various extracurricular activity (scientific and creative) participation forms; the stimulation principle - is based on moral and material incentives of students for their achievements in scientific (the base Institution of higher education diploma, honor certificates),  academic (using different forms of resulting control for advanced students), creative (diplomas and certificates for active participation in the Institution life), sport (certificates for healthy life style achievements), social and other activities.

By the virtue of the abovementioned one can emphasize the following directions in the strategy of educational work with students:

I. Intellectual education.

Purpose: to release and use the educational potential, which lies in the knowledge, in the process of studying a block of general professional disciplines by the students.

Tasks: to perform the training of specialists on the basis of deep fundamental knowledge; to develop cogitative faculties - the ability to realize professional situations, to find the ways for their solution, to fulfill the necessary for this operations, to make correct conclusions; to work out the creative activity skills in students, to perform the definition of objectives, analysis, planning; to form the internal need for self-education; to pay attention to solitary work organization perfection.

II. Patriotic education.

Purpose: to teach students to get to the heart of the Motherland matter covered in the spiritual life of the Nation, in traditions and customs, historical memory.

Tasks: to develop social memory; to study fundamental and applied research of patriotism phenomenon, its traditions and present-day manifestation forms on the basis of interdisciplinary interaction; to introduce social practice and scientific findings into the academic and extracurricular activities.

III. Esthetic education.

Purpose: the development of emotionally fertile and spiritually eminent relation toward the outworld, the ability to render their esthetic experience.

Tasks: to form a high culture in students; to extend their outlook in the field of Arts, to teach them how to value and understand the beautiful.

IV. Labour education.

Purpose: involving into active creative labour.

V. Physical education.

Purpose: "The student´s unimpaired health is the basis of excellent studies".

Tasks: the students´ unimpaired health need updating; to put into effect the propaganda of physical culture and sport as a healthy life style component.

The main condition for the strategic tasks implementation is seen in the creation of the students´ professional-pedagogical support concept. The pedagogical support on the part of the teachers supposes the preventive and operative help to the students in their solution of individual problems connected with physical and psychic health, social and economical status and successful advance in studies, effective business and interpersonal communication, life, professional and esthetic choice. The students´ work shadowing is defined on the part of the teachers by the success situation creation mechanism. The success is, first of all, connected with a sentiment of joy and emotional rise. As the practice of the Institution faculty teachers shows, the key to the success situation creation is a mutual readiness to conduct a dialog. The dialog technologies have the following organizational structure: 1) a certain activity attitude (emotional preparation of the student for an academic problem solution); 2) the provision of the activity, its division into operations (the creation of conditions for its successful solution); 3) the comparison of the obtained results with the required ones (the dedicated academic labour result). When preparing and planning an academic dialog, the teacher should be able to: select the educational material taking into account the subjective experience of students, on the basis of which the dialog organization is possible; emphasize the backbone discussion questions; plan the model of the teacher and student intercommunication; select didactic materials promoting the dialog interaction; work with due account for the student´s subjective experience; put questions correctly and not to express negative judgements; generalize the utterances of students giving them a scientific character. Besides, for the creation of a favourable climate and creative and kindly atmosphere maintenance one has to: show a respectful attitude to and demonstrate a trust in the student; personify the encouragements for a good work and participation in the dialog; render a timely and differentiated help; manifest one´s own personal enthusiasm; stimulate the learners´ interest; render an assistance for students in working out in them a positive self-feeling. For a further higher institution´s students´ education innovation technologies introduction it is necessary to perfect the material-technical and didactics and methodical base and to raise the teachers´ competence level.
