Nowadays, improvement of the education quality remains a burning issue in the world and, in particular, in Russia. Modern social, economic and cultural transformations have bred new values in education to appear; educational objectives, goals, content and results have been reviewed. Contemporary changes have generated a reasonable request of the society for training a comprehensively developed, cultured and competent person who is given the necessary set of social important competences for various culture-congruent activities; actively interact with society and efficiently adopt social roles. Current trends dictate to look for new approaches and methods in education that actively form personal and social skills and competencies to facilitate a better social adaptation and socialization of every person with understanding of their potential. In this regard, investigation of emotional competence of school students with intellectual disabilities is of special relevance; state and condition of the disorder in many ways define the capacity of sound socialization for this group of children. Goal of our research is to analyze theoretical background, studies and methodological concepts in world and Russian psychology on the problem of regulation of emotional response of school students with intellectual disabilities through shaping emotional competence in their behavior; to pinpoint problems and potential to scrutinize this topic. The scope of the research is the process of emotion regulation of school students with intellectual disabilities through shaping emotional competence, which encompasses abilities to monitor, control and manage their emotional response in social environment. The research found that most scientists although declare the need for special programs to study and correct the emotional responses of intellectually disabled students with a view to their best socialization in modern society, there are still deficits in both the science and the practice of special psychology related to the development and implementation of technologies for monitoring, predicting and managing emotional responses among this group of schoolchildren.

The work is dedicated to the determination of the origin of archaeological finds from medieval glass using the method of neutron activation analysis (NAA). Among such objects we can discover not only things produced in ancient Russian glassmaking workshops but also imported from Byzantium. The authors substantiate the ancient Russian origin of the medieval glass bracelets of pre-Mongol period, found on the ancient Dubna settlement. The conclusions are based on data about the glass chemical composition obtained as a result of NAA of 10 fragments of bracelets at the IBR-2 reactor (Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research).

The importance of formation and development of creativity of primary school students is recognized by specialists in pedagogy and psychology. At the same time, one of the topical problems is the increase in the number of children with special educational needs. The purpose of the study is to regard the function of the aesthetic and imaginative perception of the world as a constituent of creative competence of primary school students in the context of a potential growth point for a child with specific learning disabilities. The subject of the study is the dynamics of indicators of creative competence (creative imagination, in particular) demonstrated by children as a result of mastering an integrated set of activities aimed to develop creative thinking in primary school students to be able to solve tasks, as well as to form creative competence, to improve self-expression and self-regulation through the use of tools of creative activities and to introduce children to works of culture and art in the conditions of inclusive education. At the stage of the ascertaining experiment, the creative imagination of children participating in the experiment was evaluated according to the methodologies of Dyachenko O. ("Drawing figures") and Kravtsova E. ("Where is its place?"). The general tendency, which is true for the results of the ascertaining experiment with the application of both methods, is the absence of children with a high level of imagination development in the group studied. Integrated lessons aimed to the formation and development of creative imagination in children with developmental delay were carried out for a year and a half, in inclusive groups. In the course of the complex work, the elements of art therapy, logopedic rhythm, psycho-gymnastics, fairy-tale therapy, dance movement therapy and music therapy were used, the means of theatricalization and dramatization were actively applied. According to the results of the ascertaining experiment, it is revealed that the subjects have the ability to overcome the stereotypes formed on the basis of the accumulated experience, which is one of the elements that determine the success of creative activity. As a result of the study, it was discovered that creative imagination regarded as a component of the creative competence of primary school students could be stimulated and improved with the help of a psychological-pedagogical influence during the application of the methodology of integrated lessons of the aesthetic course.
