Within the context of educators human resource development in the Russian Federation the new phase of development of employer and employee relations in the educational institution comes followed by the introduction of teacher's professional standard and the productive contract with employees of educational institutions. The productive contract is a new type of labor relationships which should be based on the assessment of effectiveness of each worker's activity. This type of labor agreement promotes the increase in educators' motivation to activity and professional qualification. The main objective in the course of introduction of the productive contract in the work of school, technical school, college, higher educational institution, center of extended education is to develop the index of effectiveness for encouragement of high-quality work of pedagogical workers. In many Russian educational institutions the productive contracts have been already implemented. The unity of approach to the design and implementation of the productive contract idea is formed by taking into account the preferences and expectations of population in education quality improvement. In the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) a special work on the introduction of the productive contract in the majority of educational institutions has been carried out. We conducted the survey of 78 pedagogical employees of Yakutsk schools, 41 teachers of institutions of additional education, 37 workers of technical school and colleges and 39 teachers of North-Eastern Federal University named after M. K. Ammosov, for the purpose of studying the relationship of educators to maintaining the productive contract, encouraging and interfering factors in teachers' professional development. The experience on productive contract introduction in the Children's Center of Technical Creativity of Yakutsk was studied that allowed to make a positive solution, as the salary for the account of encouragement payments has been considerably raised; the level of teachers professional competence has increased (due to participation in research and practical conferences, academic readings, professional competitions; management of workshops; increase in teachers' publication activity, etc.). The directions and index of effectiveness of teacher's activity provided in the productive contract allow estimating teacher's activity reasonably; releasing weak and strong aspects in the pedagogical process; designing the program of educational process and self-education, considering beneficial and negative impacts of the previous period of pedagogical activity; establishing the program for teacher's self-education, and professional development. The conditions of introduction of the productive contract into the educational institutions can be considered as following: studying the factors of teachers' motivation; Quality Council foundation; development of index of effectiveness of teachers' activity and their reasonable estimation taking into account a many-sided spectrum of pedagogical activity. Only integrated and system approach to educational activity allows advancing a teacher as an expert. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Modern educational system needs a communicative and self-organized teacher capable to think flexibly. In our opinion, teachers' professional development consists not only in subject and professional-pedagogical knowledge improvement, but also in motivation for professional -personal development. Nowadays labour optimization depends on many factors, one of which is organization competence. To learn to manage yourself effectively and by own opportunities is not a simple task, however, by means of specific technologies it can be successfully solved. Teachers mastering self-management technology can organize their work efficiently, reduce the influence of stressful situations and learn to find time for rest. The critical review of educational management institutions allowed revealing the main contradiction between requirement of educational institutions for teachers with skills of self-management on the one side, and insufficient pedagogical maintenance of this technology in educational environment on the other side. The issues connected with professional self-management were reflected in the works of foreign and Russian researches: F. O'Connell, S. Kovi, E.V. Illarionova, P.G. Pererva, A.A. Sakun. Self-management technology will allow teachers to summarize achievements, create individual way of professional-personal development, effectively use the opportunities in goal achievement as it represents self-organization, self-development and effective use of own resources, ability to operate yourself. To study self-management formation skills the pilot study was conducted where 127 teachers of Yakutsk schools and 38 teachers of North-Eastern Federal University named after M. K. Ammosov took place. Research results allowed defining the criteria and levels of self-management formation skills of interviewed educators. We developed and realized the program for beginning teachers "Self-management skills", using the following methods: "Time-study", "The Alps", "Pareto's principle", "Eisenhower's Principle" and business games, trainings, game exercises, etc. We consider that teacher's self-management is carried out applying scientific and methodical works, reciprocal visiting of classes, design and implementation of projects, portfolio introduction and self-development. As recommendations on introduction teacher's self-management technology in the terms of educational environment it is necessary to consider teachers' personal and professional qualities, by means of carrying out psychology and pedagogical diagnostics and self education; apply forms and methods of teachers' psychological-methodical support aimed at the development of a teacher-manager with positive dynamics of professional and personal development. Undoubtedly, this problem is urgent, and so the research demonstrated validity in further development of approaches, methods and technologies for teachers' professional and personal development.

Society interest to the issue of personal fulfillment and self-actualization where professional activity plays a special part has increased due to social and economic changes in the Russian Federation, democratization and humanization in particular. The success of professional identity of the graduates of educational institutions has become the foundation upon which the requirements to the quality of experts training have been built. Nowadays about one third of young people in Russia isn't able to adapt to present situation successfully and regulate career intentions. The youth proportion among officially registered unemployed in Russian regions ranges from 20 to 38%. At the same time, as research shows, the right choice of profession by 2,5 times reduces turnover of staff, increases efficiency by 10-15%, by 1,5 - 2 times reduces personnel training cost. The system of career guidance, thus, can become and in many countries has become a global player of balanced and intensive economic growth. Labor market analysis confirms that there are serious problems in the system of youth career guidance. There is apparent discrepancy between requirements of labor market on the one hand, and motivation of workers on the other hand. In this regard, competent psychology and pedagogical maintenance of development of career guidance of studying youth is necessary. The process of professional identity is the result of many interrelated external and internal factors. It is the process of personality relation to professional and labor scope, the way of personality realization and the integral part of complete life identity. The factors of effective development of professional identity are the ways of subject oriented instructions, methods of extracurricular activity, social partnership with the subjects of career guidance, educational environment of educational institutions. The research method was the review of survey of 464 pupils of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The review consisted of questions on sources of obtaining job information; factors, influencing the profession choice; life and career plans of students; motivation of chosen profession. Questionnaire results demonstrated that pupils of Yakutia generally offer the forms and methods of career guidance expanding the ideas of the world of professions making a professional education basis; special attention is paid to professional tests, meetings with successful graduates, work at enterprises, firms and offices. Moreover, seniors point to the existence of issues interfering their profession choice and places for continuing education; identify informational and financial challenges, as well as issues connected with psychology and pedagogical maintenance of the process of future profession choice.

Nowadays the increase in effectiveness of education management and in the system of education assessment implementation is the key factor of modernization of Russian education and the level of human capital asset. The distinctive feature of present stage of education development in the Russian Federation is regionalization and municipalization. The development of common educational space taking into account national and regional specific features of federal subjects, uniqueness of natural and geographical, social and economic, ethnodemographic and other conditions of Russia, the dynamism of education development determine the variety of educational systems models. Each of them, having special invariant component, differs in national and regional features. Researchers of North-Eastern Federal University named after M. K. Ammosov carried out the performance analysis and the identification of the peculiarities of the management system of general education in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) within the complex of scientific research in the region aimed at the development of productive forces and the social sphere for the period of 2016-2020 years. Monitoring and republican system analysis of general education reveal two leading directions for the development of educational system as availability and quality. For the purpose of independent evaluation of the development of educational system the sociological survey of 3007 inhabitants of RS (Ya) was conducted. The results of the survey and the analysis of current state of general educational system in the region and its management, allow to specify following advantages: sufficiently developed normative base, defining the function of educational management; presence of new features and structures in the management which are responsible for the development strategy; existence of the Government program of education development in the region; conceptbased resource and the chain of command providing common educational space; existence of system of state support of rural educational establishments; preservation of ungraded schools in remote settlements; introduction and realization of mechanisms of normative per capita financing taking into account regional social and economic conditions. At the same time, it is also necessary to point out disadvantages of educational system in the region: imbalance of the processes of centralization and decentralization in the education control system; insufficiently high level of qualified specialists providing at educational organizations located in remote and hard to access areas; insignificance of network and distant education development; insufficient publicity of information on official websites of municipal departments of education.

Studying of socio-pedagogical and psychological issues of foreign students adaptation in Russian higher education institutions allows to determine the contradictions between: the demand of organization of educational support in first year of training that effectively promotes social adaptation and immaturity of these issues in higher school pedagogics; the demand of Russian higher education system in theoretical developments on issues of social adaptation of foreign students and the lack of educational background; the availability of educational technologies and insufficient research and methodology maintenance, allowing lecturers to model various educational ways, considering the aspects of optimum social adaptation of students foreigners. The conditions providing the efficiency of social adaptation of foreign students which specifies the need of competitive recovery of Russian Universities in the sphere of international educational services are presented in the paper. Dynamic incoming of Chinese students in Russian Universities is obvious; it is connected with economic growth, shortage of highly qualified personnel in China and affordability of higher education in Russia. In 2011 in order to facilitate the development of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the sphere of higher education and strengthening the national innovative capacity the Association of technical universities of Russia and China (ATURC) was founded. We conducted the survey of Chinese students training in 12 ATURC Russian Universities. The important factors influencing the processes of Chinese students adaptation are a new system of high school teaching; weather and climatic conditions; difficulties of interpersonal communication; peculiarities of ethnos mindset. In our opinion, teachers of higher education institution need to consider the peculiarities of material acquisition of Chinese students when developing educational programs and training process structuring. To promote foreigners social adaptation is also necessary to carry out more intensive work: actions for acquaintance with city, region, Russia, Universities history (visit museums, hold discussions and meetings with famous scientists and successful graduates, etc.); studying the migration legislation of Russia; team, academic group building. To develop the international relations providing the specific features of activity in east direction, the constructive activity is necessary for many Russian Universities. It will bring forward the integration into international educational system. The creation and development of joint educational programs and research with leading Chinese higher education institutions will allow modern Russian higher institutions become more attractive for training foreign citizens.
