The article analyzes the situation that has arisen in modern Economics.

The goal of monitoring is to systemize information, to make a certain picture of changes occurred in the activity of higher institution at the definite periodand develop prospective activity plan based on the obtained data that would help to develop positive changes and prevent from the undesirable changes. The author analyzed the results obtained at various stages of monitoring and made cocnlusion they make a basis for the administrative decisions related to changes in education.

Nowadays a lot of societies are facing the problem of growing casual drug abuse. This challenge isn’t new to humanity, but it has been modified by the modern world conditions and has acquired new aspects: drug use is no longer a peripheral phenomenon limited to local traditional practices, but a widely accessible means of recreation. The ontological basis of narcotization problem is the experience of being detached from the world that comes from subject-object cognitive frame arising from the corresponding basic language structure. Education has the potential to counter this problem. In order to use this potential it is necessary to realize what causes narcotization as well as the appropriate strategy of solving this problem. The major points of this strategy are: to create and to popularize an alternative lifestyle image; to inform the participants of education systems that the problem is not their unique experience, but a long-standing issue well-known to humanity; to establish obligatory medical control in educational institutions. Authors analyze the basis for addiction development in common mind as well as antinarcotization potential of education.

The second part of the article describes the “major” and the “minor” narcotization problems and estimates the potential of education as a factor which could counter them. Potential strategies involving educational tools that could solve the “minor” narcotization problem are suggested.

The ecological educational environment of technical university is directed on increase of resistance to the students’stress by means of ecology of educational process. The ecology of educational process includes the contents, forms, methods, means and technologies of training aimed at resistance to the students’stress that takes place due to use of new interactive forms of education, health saving technologies, a combination of theoretical and practical training of students. The ecological educational environment of technical university assumes the balanced of personal and behavioural components of resistance to the students’stress and problems of preservation, providing favorable ecology educational process which is interfaced to a high intellectual and emotional pressure of students. Resistance to stress in the ecology of educational process is caused by many external and internal factors among which play the correct organization of the mode of study and rest, the healthy lifestyle of students including health saving technologies large role.

The behavioral criterion was determined by existence of ways of management of behavior of students, by existence of methods of providing and the maintenance of ecology of educational process: «yes» and «no». In the experiment, we use interactive methods and technologies will be in the classroom for the environment, which, in combination with modern information technology can improve the students' level of information, thereby increasing the personal and behavioral components of the stress the students.

The article is devoted to the core revelation of leading mechanisms of psychological and pedagogical conditions, aimed at cadets’ intellectual-creative potential during foreign language lessons in a military high school. The following process is represented by five main conditions: the formation of steady emotional-volitional personality features; building up an inner pillar of spirituality and moral values aimed at edifying and creativity; application of complex methods, forms and measures of cadets’ intellectual-creative potential in a military high school, providing system character and integrity during foreign language training; building pedagogical sphere of cadets’ intellectual-creative potential development; consistency of educational, scientific and characterbuilding types of activities in the sphere of intellectual-creative potential stimulation; dialogical co-creation of a teacher and cadets. . These conditions are based on the principles of motivational and creative activity, problematicity, integration and practical orientation. Each stage of psychological-pedagogical conditions assumes certain components development for further formation of intellectual-creative potential.We assume the notion of intellectual-creative potential as an integrative feature of personality, representing a series of motivational, cognitive, practice-organizational and reflexive aspects.All these aspects are to be forwarded and applied in order to reach particular goals both instrumental (providing temporary values) and existential (providing potential broadening of self-realization and development). The article points out that development of intellectual-creative potential assumes development of inner personal reserves, personal breakthrough, which will definitely promote a prospective specialist in military sphere with constant desire and everlasting opportunity for self-development during all daily professional living activities.

The article explores adaptation of foreign students to new cultural environment, which is an important modern problem and deals with development of education in the context of globalization. The relevance of this topic is explained by integration of different cultures, which takes place in the global world over the past decade. Training of foreign students is one of the prior tasks for Russian higher education. The researchers and policy makers speak about increasing number of foreign students in Russian universities, which can contribute to position and status of Russia in the world. However, learning and adaptation of students who are considered to be carriers of original mentality and culture, involves considerable difficulties. The paper reveals the characteristics of human mentality, as a manifestation of deep-seated attitudes of the collective consciousness of a people. Foreign students are carriers of a certain system of values and norms, which causes a kind of way of thinking and seeing the world. Sometimes vision of different cultures bases primarily on stereotypes, which may explain the distorted phenomena and processes of the surrounding reality. Adaptation to a new culture can become quite painful and not always be successful, which certainly reduces the effect of training. Thus, institutes have to take into account the mental peculiarities of foreign students (belief, values, norms, behavior patterns) and use them to improve the efficiency of learning and the integration of foreign students in the educational space of Russia.
