Abstract:
This work is a part of the series of studies devoted to the perception of animated films by preschoolers and is aimed at studying the characteristics of children's identification in connection with their understanding of emotions. The relevance of the topic is due, on the one hand, to the generally recognized fact of the close connection of art with human feelings, and, on the other, to the extremely low level of knowledge of issues in this area, especially with regard to young children. In this paper, it was suggested that the identification of preschoolers with various cartoon characters is based on the relationship between the personal attitude of children to these characters and the characteristics of their understanding of emotions. The study included children watching the cartoon Old Toy (1971; timing: 9:42; screenplay by V. Livanov, director of photography V. Samsonov), then the children were offered tests: a modified method of personal constructs by J. Kelly and the Test of Emotion Comprehension. The results of the factor analysis allowed us to identify three bipolar factors that determine the peculiarities of the perception of cartoons by children who identify themselves with the main characters or do not identify themselves with any of them. The results obtained can become the basis for further research, and can also be used for educational purposes.

Abstract:
The article deals with labor education as an urgent problem of the modern educational system. The authors analyze the ideological format of the primer, the first reading book. Stable verbal complexes, as well as visual means in educational publications, are studied as representatives of ideological attitudes that play an important role in shaping the worldview of younger schoolchildren. The basics of labor education and the change of priorities in relation to labor during the social changes of the 20th and 21st centuries are considered. The ideologeme "labor" is analyzed on the basis of the materials of alphabets and books of reading instruction published in the period from 1901 to the present. The results obtained during the study allowed us to trace the transformation of components of the universal ideologeme "labor" from the 20th to the 21st century. Initially, labor was focused on benefiting one's family and then the collective or the state. Over time, this perspective has shifted towards working for the benefit of oneself and others. In addition to this analysis, we also propose several media educational tools aimed at the development of diligence, which is regarded as one of the fundamental universal values in elementary education.

Abstract:
The article reflects the results of a comparative hermeneutical analysis of Russian feature films of the second half of the 1980s – 2010s, including the study of cultural and historical contexts in order to consider their possible influence on the author's views, reflected in the specifics of the depiction of characters and reality, in the choice of plot motifs and other structural components of the film. Based on the results of the analysis, we describe and systematize film images, types of character relationships and plot motifs that reflect the prevailing "points of view" about cultural values and traditions, and characterize stereotypical models of social interaction between characters in accordance with the five types of cinematic discourse (interpersonal, artistic-aesthetic, religious-ideological, historical-cultural, mythological) that make up the content of the structural-functional model of cultural identity developed by us The analysis of research on the topic of the article has shown that the cultural traditions formed in centuries-old history were (with all the known losses) preserved in the Soviet period, remain relevant in modern conditions and are reflected in the feature films of "perestroika" and post-Soviet time.

Abstract:
Compliance with the principles of academic honesty is a key factor in preserving the traditional values of higher education and maintaining the quality of the educational process. Large-scale introduction of digital technologies into the everyday practices of young people, easy access to neural networks create additional risks of violating the principles of academic honesty. The article presents the results of a survey of students (n=633) in order to determine changes in the academic honesty of young students. The results of the study showed that students have vague moral standards regarding the correct use of information and are frivolous about academic fraud. Almost half of the respondents answered that they resorted to cheating on the exam. A third of the respondents do not consider it necessary to memorize a large amount of information for the exam, the justification being of her the widespread availability. The study also revealed violations of the principles of academic honesty in the process of preparing final qualifying works. Students demonstrate a tolerant attitude towards incorrect borrowing of information, plagiarism, and the use of artificial intelligence in writing author's texts. The results of the study confirmed the hypothesis that the insufficient level of media competence of students distorts the perception of the principles of academic honesty, understanding the boundaries of acceptable behavior when working with media resources. The article concludes that it is necessary to develop media education in modern conditions. Media education of young people will help to form both the skills of correct use of media resources, generating author's texts based on the analysis and understanding of various sources, and ethical principles of working with information, intolerance towards academic fraud.

Abstract:
Feature films about family life are powerful cultural artifacts that shape the upbringing of youth by modelling behaviour, reinforcing values, and addressing moral and ethical dilemmas. They provide young people with tools to navigate their own family relationships, foster empathy, and influence their aspirations for future family life. By portraying a range of family experiences, films help youth understand the complexity of relationships and the importance of communication, compassion, and responsibility in a family setting. Hence, studying feature films about family life in the context of film studies and media education plays a significant role in the upbringing of youth by shaping their understanding of family relationships. Our content analysis of Soviet feature films about family and family education during the period of “stagnation” showed that they reflected the desire of the Soviet government to maintain stability and order through the propaganda of the ideals of a strong and stable family. However, despite the official positive narratives, the films increasingly raised issues of the crisis of family relations, the conflict of generations and moral dilemmas, which spoke of the real problems of society. The worldview of the film characters of the “stagnation” period is characterized by a combination of conformism, the desire for stability and an internal search for the meaning of life against the background of general social stagnation. The characters are torn between traditional family values and a feeling of internal dissatisfaction, which creates tension and forces them to solve personal and moral dilemmas.

Abstract:
The rapidly advancing technology has led to the evolution of traditional product placement into Virtual Product Placing (VPP), a technique that use software to digitally include images of specific products or brands into media output, like as movies or television shows, during the post-production phase. While such virtual technology offers significant benefits to marketers, broadcasters, and production businesses in terms of consumer targeting, its implementation is not devoid of legal, marketing, and ethical concerns. This paper examines the relationship between the 2013 film Star Trek: Into Darkness and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and its vision through a case study methodology in the film and media industry. Within its narrative, the film emphasizes NASA's image by implementing a specific form of virtual product placement. Furthermore, examined in this paper are the consequences and implications of virtual product placement in ethical, legal, and marketing domains, as well as potential avenues for the advancement and incorporation of this strategy. Through the use of a qualitative approach including in-depth analysis of the movie material, this work generates more comprehensive insights. The use of virtual product placement in films such as Star Trek: Into Darkness demonstrates how the advanced incorporation of brand and CGI technology further complicates the intersection between product placement and the film production process.

Abstract:
The article deals with the peculiarities of the lexeme “creativity”use in modern media discourse. The authors prove that the use of this word has ethical and linguistic limitations not always realized and taken into consideration in media communication; analyze the sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic origins of inconsistency with the principles of ecological linguistics, manifested in the lexeme “creativity”syntagmatics. The article uses the modern media texts, mainly the genre of interview, where violations of ethical and linguistic standards connected with the word “creativity” use have been noted. The analyzed feature of the use of the lexeme tvorchestvo (creativity) plays an evaluative role, reflects the further blurring of the fuzzy boundaries between the concepts of “aesthetical/unaesthetical”, “linguoecological/non-linguoecological”, “ethical/unethical”. To study this material the authors used functional and pragmatic analysis and sociolinguistic methodology based on the correlation of social and linguistic parameters of communication. Non-ecology can be associated not only with the use of a crude substandard, but also with the inadequate use of high-sounding words.In media education, it is necessary to focus not only on the appropriate use of linguistic units in accordance with the purity of style, but also on the use of linguistic means in accordance with ethical and linguistic standards. To do this, it is necessary to study the media portraiture of certain words.When studying the discipline “Creative means and tools of communication” in the master's program “Media Linguistics and new means of communication”, it is important to devote a special topic to portraying one of the frequency words of the modern media world picture which can be illustrated by the example of the “creativity”word.Media literacy, formed, among other things, when studying the pragmatic potential of the frequency words in the modern media world picture, will contribute to the proper use of linguistic means and media rhetorical strategies in accordance with ethical and linguistic standards, strengthening the culture of media communication and taking care of the language as a whole.

Abstract:
The digital age has transformed how people consume news and interact with media content, but it has also given rise to the widespread dissemination of misinformation and cloned media content on social media platforms. This paper reviews the existing literature to develop a conceptual framework, the Online Newspaper Cloning and Identity Theft Framework (ONCITF), aimed at enhancing user awareness and knowledge of fake news and cloned media pages. By examining key factors such as source credibility, media literacy and algorithmic curation, this study proposes a comprehensive framework to assist users in identifying and understanding deceptive content. The framework integrates insights from communication studies, psychology and information science to provide a holistic approach to media literacy. The findings underscore the need for coordinated efforts to improve digital literacy and promote transparent practices on social media platforms. ONCITF offers practical applications for educators, policymakers and social media practitioners to mitigate the effect of misinformation and foster a more critically engaged public.

Abstract:
The actualization of media education issues in the modern world necessitates the improvement of the activities of universities in general, and the work of a teacher in particular. It is the teacher who is at the forefront of working with young people, responsible for developing skills in working with information, its analysis, understanding and generation. The purpose of this article is related to the study of the role of a teacher in the practices of forming students' media competence. The leading research method is a questionnaire survey of students of Russian universities (n = 633). It was found that students rate the efficiency of the teacher's use of multimedia services, presentations and other traditional attributes of working with information quite highly. However, with fairly high ratings of the level of teaching in higher education, a third of students note the lack of interactivity in the work of teachers. Self-assessments of the level of students' media competence showed a high level of polarization of knowledge and skills of young people. High ratings were received for such skills as "using different sources of information", "observance of the culture of behavior in the digital environment". Lower ratings were received for such competencies as "the ability to work with large volumes of digital data, conduct analytics", "produce multimedia content". The results of the qualitative study showed that the teacher's exactingness is a key factor in the formation of analytical skills for working with information. It was found that the insufficient content of digital platforms used in training with materials limits the formation of students' media competence.

Abstract:
The purpose of this article is a semiotic analysis of the covers of the Polish edition of “Scientific American” magazine in the context of scientific myths. It is an attempt to understand how scientific ideas and images are transformed into cultural symbols that carry additional meanings and values. The study is based on a semiotic analysis of 60 covers of the Polish edition of “Scientific American” from the last five years (2019–2024). The commutation test technique and the artificial intelligence application The Semiotic Engine were used to prepare descriptions of each cover. The covers were categorized into larger thematic groups, and the dominant themes were presented in the form of a cross tabulation in relation to the scientific myths analyzed. The analysis showed that the scientific myths present on the covers of Scientific American have a significant impact on society, shaping our understanding of science and technology. These myths can both inspire and mislead, simplifying complex issues and giving them sensational or ideological meanings. Examples of myths include the image of the scientist as hero and technology as salvation. The article offers a new perspective to the study of science popularization and media education, showing how semiotic analysis of journal covers can reveal hidden cultural meanings and values. The work underscores the need for critical analysis of media messages to better understand how culture influences our perception of science and its role in society.

Abstract:
The article presents an analysis and characterization of the image of family and family education in young Soviet feature films. Beginning with the first years of Soviet power, cinema acquired a pronounced propaganda and agitation significance. These features influenced the content of silent feature films of that time. In the process of the country’s “cinefication”, cinema became a mouthpiece of the state policy, and the main objective was to create films that would contribute to the new type of person. Family themes in feature films are not central and act as accompaniment in film stories about the revolution, reviving industry, etc. One of the central conflicts in the film industry of those years is the conflict between the old and new world order, the fight against religious and bourgeois remnants. In the 1920s and 1930s, the attitude towards the family in young Soviet Russia was ambiguous. It was believed that traditional values of the family life were outdated and should be replaced by public education. The family as a union of a man and a woman had also lost its value, as many public and government figures believed. The family could be completely replaced by a collective, which, under the leadership of the state, could educate, teach and form the necessary qualities. A hermeneutic analysis of Soviet feature films of this period allows us to identify the main trends in family issues, some educational models in feature films in the context of an appeal to the socio-cultural and ideological contexts of that time.
