The use of games in education depends on the direction of training: 1) on mastering professional pedantry or 2) on mastering professional virtuosity. Stanislavsky’s method of “simple physical actions” helps to solve pedagogical problems of school lessons. Not only because it prevents students from refusing to perform the teacher’s tasks, but also because it becomes a methodological support for teachers in freeing the process of teaching children from the cult of awareness, imposed by thought-activity pedagogy and violating the natural links between the development of individual curiosity in schoolchildren and their natural disinterestedness.

The article is devoted to the independent work of students of a pedagogical university. It addresses the actual problem of organizing students’ independent work with printed sources, including regulatory documents: The Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation”, the “Family Code of the Russian Federation”, the “Convention on the Rights of the Child”. Attention is also paid to the “Exemplary work program of education for general education organizations” in terms of targets in the results of education at the level of primary general education and at the level of basic general education.

In the Russian Federation, as well as in other countries, there is a process of reviving the religiosity of the population and the formation of a mass religious consciousness, which exists in parallel with the scientific one. The number of religious buildings in which ministers contribute to the clericalization of the consciousness of society is growing. This contradicts the secular nature of the state, which is enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation and other normative acts. The state is forced to take into account the sentiments of the population and forms a policy that has been called post-secular. The inconsistency of the state secular educational policy with the policy and religiosity of the attitudes of participants in the educational process leads to conflicts, in the resolution of which the Prosecutor’s Office and the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation take part. The heads of educational organizations are in a difficult position due to the presence of these contradictions, as well as the possibility of multiple interpretation of educational legislation and the lack of training of teaching staff. It should be taken into account that a significant part of the teachers who started working back in Soviet times only listened to lectures on scientific atheism. It is the lack of religious studies and theological training of educational workers that can provoke interfaith conflicts that will have to be resolved by state authorities.

The article presents the experience of tutors — specialists who accompany the processes of development and improvement of teachers’ competencies in their professional activities (on the example of the Kemerovo region). One of the successful pedagogical tools in the work of such specialists is tutor technologies, which have been implemented in Kuzbass for more than 10 years. The characteristics of these technologies are presented. The professional competencies of teachers (cognitive, operational-technological, personal) are determined and the dynamics of their development from 2013 to 2023 is presented. Organizational forms of implementation of tutor technologies are defined. Examples of the use of technology in working with teachers are given.
