The papers in the journal mainly focus on two aspects of education: 1) training future teachers in organization of self-education, forming moral values of school students, making classes with school students psychologically comfortable and assessment of student’s progress with the credit system; 2) solving social problems in the activities of public institutions: models of working with gifted children, orphans, people with special needs and family education. Papers by E.V. Yakovlev, N.O. Yakovleva and M.M. Ovchinnikova are especially interesting.

The papers focus on the problems of pre-school children cognitive development, professional personal identity of future teachers, formation of teacher’s organization culture, civic and patriotic values of young people.
