Another popular area also relates to interdisciplinary specialization. We are talking about pedagogical models, theses on which are of serious practical and scientific interest. Theses of such a plan cover a wide range of issues, ranging from psychological and pedagogical models for the formation of a successful child’s personality, to models for the formation of a successful specialist in enterprises in the production, service or trade sectors.

It is important to study the methods and methods of pedagogical communication, dissertations, and other scientific works in this field and provide tremendous help to both beginners and experienced teachers. The works cover aspects of communication organization, its styles, psychological characteristics, features of preferred types of behavior in specific environments (for example: military academies, schools with a certain professional bias, correctional institutions).
