A new synthesis method of S/AgBr nano/micropowder based on sulfur and silver halide was developed. The nano/micropowder was obtained in the DMSO-water system, in two stages. Initially, sulfur was dissolved in DMSO at 120°C. The resulting solution was cooled to room temperature and separated from sulfur by filtration. Then, pre-prepared water solutions of AgNO3 and NaBr were introduced drop by drop into a sulfur solution in DMSO, at room temperature. The phase composition and structure of the precipitated powdery sediment were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to study the morphology and particle size. XRD showed the presence of the crystalline phase of AgBr, while the Raman spectra were characterized by the presence of sulfur and AgBr peaks. The SEM results showed that the S/AgBr is represented by oval, spherical and triangular particles of a homogeneous structure; the particle size was in the range from 300 to 800 nm.

The purpose of the investigation was to study the behavior of mechanically activated fly ash filler containing carbon in a polymer matrix of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). By means of the methods of optical and electron microscopy the change of physical and chemical properties of fly ash after intensive grinding in planetary mills of centrifugal type was considered. The research showed that mechanically activated filler, in contrast to its non-activated analog, structures the polymer matrix and provides improving the characteristics of the composite material.

Legal consciousness of a man is formed during the whole period of his life-sustaining activity. Thus, students define legal consciousness as an aggregate synergetic effect on professional environment. Novelty of the paper is grounded by authors with the fact that within research structure the key basis is represented not with the strategy of legal consciousness formation as a result of pedagogic experiment but with definition of its initial values and, subsequently, development of methods aimed at its correcting. Thus, authors determine the initial values bear rating character and along with this have impact on programs of students' legal consciousness formation upon development of new education standards and implementation of regulatory documents. In addition, author suggest that the basis for legal consciousness development is the formation of flexible strategy of legal consciousness level increase that will provide full integration of the present aspect into legal framework of teaching process and formation of personal interest of students in development of professional competence of their future learners.

Modern higher education in the Russian Federation are increasingly approaching the critical state. Despite attempts to reform and use of successful foreign practices, our country is still lagging behind in the role. In the events that occurred in the country over the past two decades, we can conclude that Russia is characterized by unpredictable ‘rules of the game’ and, as a consequence, the future unpredictable. This led to the fact that Russian society is developing in a legalized falsification of higher education. This is reflected in the media and formally legalized the issuance of diplomas of higher education to persons not mastered the full competencies, required not only educational standards, but also the labor market. Indicators such falsifications are ‘custom-made’ evaluation and qualification works of students. Plagiarism, rough compilation when writing papers, the active use of cribs in the control of knowledge of students – a systemic phenomenon in the modern high school, that is, in fact, the falsification of knowledge. Thus, in today's society formed the ‘cult of the diploma’ the presence of higher education, and not the real competence, with the help of which the professional career and the life of a citizen in a civilized world.

This paper represents a profound research of Kazakh and foreign scientific literature and tries to define the structure, the essence and meaningful characteristics of the art higher education institution students’ competence as a set of professionally significant qualities of personality, which is determined by the nature and specifics of the forthcoming professional activities of those students. The results of the performed diagnostic study upon this subject are provided and allow to objectively evaluating the current development level of the components of social competence of students who are majoring in arts. The need for competence-oriented type of education for arts students will be justified. As a result of the conducted study, we concluded that the components of social competence, in their turn, are the components of the underlying method for forming this studied competence. The analysis of the criteria and a diagnostic research method, which comprises criteria, indicators and levels (reproductive, adaptively-transformative and creative) provided the possibility to perform an extensive revision and objectively evaluate the current maturity level of the components of the art higher education institution students’ social competence.
