The relevance of the research is determined by the necessity to analyze and summarize the results of gender studies devoted to physical education and sports. The objective of the research is to identify the trends in scientifi c studies in the fi eld of physical education and sports using the method of a literature review of papers based on the gender approach. The research hypothesizes that gender studies in the fi eld of physical education and sports are carried out in line with the main trends refl ecting the specifi cs in the development of these areas of scientifi c theory and practice. Methods. The research has been carried out with the help of such methods as theoretical study and analysis of publications in scientifi c journals on the issue of physical education and sports based on the gender approach, synthesis, and methods of logical generalizations. Results. The research has actualized the necessity to analyze scientifi c publications in the fi eld of physical education and sports, based on the gender approach, and the need to initiate the study integrating gender knowledge in the fi elds of pedagogy, physical education and sports. The research has also identifi ed the trends of gender studies in the fi eld of physical education and sports. The most signifi cant among them are the theoretical-methodological and scientifi c-methodological foundations of the gender approach in physical education and sports; gender equality in the fi eld of physical education and sports; sex, age and gender characteristics of the subjects of educational relations; sex and gender diff erences in particular kinds of sports. Conclusions. The listed trends attract attention of researchers to a great extent. At the same time, the direction associated with the study of gender aspects of value-semantic and motivational-volitional qualities of athletes and students requires further intensive scientifi c developments. The study determines gender characteristics of students’ motivation at the departments of physical education and sports as a perspective direction for further theoretical and empirical research.

The research relevance is determined by the raise of the problematic fi eld devoted to the value-based integration of the educational subjects. This problematic fi eld serves as the general idea of the IV All-Russian (with International Participation) Scientifi c Conference “A New Generation of Professionals in Education: Personal Development Based on the Integration of Values” (November 23, 2023, Ulyanovsk State Pedagogical University named after I. N. Ulyanov; Ulyanovsk). Objective: the analytical review of the problematic fi eld of the IV All-Russian (with international participation) scientifi c and practical conference, which was organized and conducted by Ulyanovsk State Pedagogical University named after I. N. Ulyanov in close cooperation with Grodno Regional Institute for Educational Development (Republic of Belarus) and Saratov State University named after N. G. Chernyshevsky. The subject-matter of the traditional scientifi c and practical conference this year actualizes the personalitydevelopment aspect of the young teacher’s activity and in this perspective it develops the logic of the international forum “Humanization of the Educational Space: Culture of the Educating Personality”, held by the Faculty of Psychological, Pedagogical and Special Needs Education of Saratov State University named after N. G. Chernyshevsky on April 19-20, 2023. Results: the conference brought together 192 participants and is aimed in its context at creating conditions for further constructive dialogues between representatives of the scientifi c and pedagogical community, young teachers and students majoring in pedagogy, classroom teachers and mentors on the issue of educating the younger generation and integrating universal values in the process. The originality and novelty of the conference is determined by the format of its various components. This year, the conference venues are represented by the laboratory of Russian pedagogical practices “Educational practices: history and the present-day state”, the methodological laboratory “Professional position of a young teacher in the context of the value transformation”, the laboratory of educational spaces modeling “Young teacher in the personal-development activity”, the laboratory of continuous pedagogical education “Continuity in the fi eld of education: from organization of psychological and pedagogical classes to mentoring practice in education”, and the laboratory of Masters of Education “Professional practices in the work of a young teacher”

The research is relevant because there are not enough studies investigating the potential of cadet institutions’ learning environment regarding its impact on pupils’ self-realization. The purpose of the research is to study a set of conditions of the learning environment of a cadet boarding school that shape pupils’ self-realization. Hypothesis: successful self-realization of cadets at a boarding school depends on three factors: modeling of the learning environment (it should include theoretical and methodological justifi cation, identifi cation of resources and conditions for successful self-realization of cadets), determination of criteria, indicators and diagnostic tools, and development and testing of extracurricular activities, additional education programs, innovative technologies, methods, forms and socio-cultural practices. The study is designed to last three years (2021–2024). Methods: theoretical analysis of scientifi c literature; analysis and synthesis of teachers’ experience in cadet boarding schools; modeling of the learning environment of a cadet boarding school. The theoretical model includes such components of the learning environment of a cadet boarding school as conceptual, resource-environmental, motivational-value, contentactivity and evaluative-eff ective. Participation in projects is considered to be a leading activity that provides cadets with opportunities for self-realization. To study self-realization, the authors’ questionnaire “The study of self-realization of cadets in the learning environment of a cadet boarding school” was developed (the authors are E. V. Kamaeva, L. P. Shustova, N. A. Lobankova). This questionnaire diagnoses pupils’ satisfaction with the conditions of the learning environment in a cadet boarding school in terms of their self-realization in various activities. Results: the authors have carried out a theoretical analysis of the problem of how to create a learning environment in cadet institutions; the authors have also identifi ed the resources and conditions for successful self-realization of pupils at a cadet boarding school; additionally, the authors have determined the criteria and indicators to monitor the eff ectiveness of this process as well as the directions and content of cadet self-realization activities. Main conclusions: modeling the learning environment of a cadet boarding school and testing it in practice will contribute to the successful development of the processes of personal and professional self-determination of cadets and their self-realization in various types of socially useful activities. The educational-methodical and scientifi c-methodical support of the process of self-realization of pupils at a cadet boarding school developed on the basis of the pedagogical model can be used to create the learning environment in cadet institutions of the Ulyanovsk region and Russia.
