In recent decades, the state educational policy in Russia has changed markedly. A unified state exam has been introduced in secondary schools. The training of specialists in universities was replaced by bachelor’s and master’s degrees, destroying Soviet educational programs. A significant part of face-to-face forms of meaningful interactions have been replaced by information technologies and distance learning. All these transformations are often justified by references to the theory of cultural and historical development of higher mental functions and the psychological theory of activity. At the same time, the results of “optimization” in educational institutions of the country come into direct contradiction with these theoretical approaches and correspond to naive hypotheses that “the brain inside the brain generates the psyche with the help of the brain, based on the processing of information coming through the senses”.

The article is devoted to the actual problem of pedagogical interaction with students from China. The article reveals the characteristics of external and internal conditions that determine the specifics of adaptation of graduate students from China to study at a Russian university. The author of the article describes the methodological and psychological features of the interaction of teachers and graduate students in the classroom of pedagogical psychology in the context of intercultural communication and the use of blended learning. The necessity of training teachers for the necessary adaptation of educational activities to the personal characteristics of students from China is shown.

A model of an optimally functioning person (OHF) is proposed based on an interdisciplinary approach and the principles of integrity, harmony and order. Five main integral internally differentiated personal characteristics (actualization, improvement, compromise, consistency, anti-entropy) are established, built on 18 necessary and sufficient factors. The anti-entropy factor is fundamental to ensure optimal performance. An analytical expression for the balance of the entropy of a biological system is given. The model is available for self-education of an optimal lifestyle.

Individual unconscious is seen as an immanent element of the self-managment mechanism of an evolable hierarchy-network system of Humanity (hierarchic search optimization of the objective criteria of energy kind). It is stated that its formation in spatial hierarchy of occurent subsystems of Humanity happens in a mirrored manner (regarding the “identity” layer) to a connected trend of formation of the collective unconscious, social and infrastructural. The informatic-cybernetic model of metaevolution (emergence of hierarchic layers in the process of formation of a system) of individual and collective unconscious is presented. Quality and quantity model characteristics of stated processes in the Psycho-socio-production sphere of Humanity are given.

The article deals with the pedagogical interaction between the subjects of the educational process, which is a special form of relationship between the participants in the educational process and provides for the mutual enrichment of their intellectual and emotional activity. An important task of optimizing pedagogical interaction is to resolve emerging contradictions and difficulties in the process of its implementation.
