This article deals with the problem of formation of coherent skills of students when teaching them mathematics in modern information society. The author considers learning technologies and means of building cognitive skills in students, which best contribute to this goal. Methodological projects of application in mathematical education of students of training in cooperation, design and problem training, as well as network training are presented. The article considers various means of cognitive skills formation, which can be used by the teacher of higher school. These include joint development of educational content, implementation of educational network projects, training in the «inverted class» model, on mass open online courses, in network educational communities. Special attention is paid to the organization of educational activities of students in the network educational community. An analysis of the benefits of education in the online education community allowed the author to make one aware of the feasibility of using them in the educational process. It is proposed to use one of
the virtual educational environments – Sakai platform, which provides great opportunities in designing its own information environment to support the educational process, for the organisation of online student education and cooperation.

Informal employment is one of the labour markets' modern trends in the developed and developing countries. The author performs a review of informal economic activity researches. In particular, the concept of dual economy and its transformation are considered. The author pays attention to the K. Hart's consepton that changed the prevalent opposition "modern-traditional" sectors of the economy to "formal-informal". Due to Hart's researches the informal sector was called the main source of the Third World countries' development by ILO. Hart himself defining the essence of the informal sector based on Weber's theory of modernization. According to it, genesis of capitalism demands development of a production and management rational organization. So informality is associated with a special degree of organization, not with a production scale or its productivity. The industrial society is characterized by formal or standard employment. In the postindustrial period other forms of employment appear under the influence of new informational technologies. The informal employment became normal and immanently inherent in the modern society. But typical doesn't always mean positive. The wide spread of informality is the main challenge to the sustainable development of the modern countries. An informal employment growth on the national labour market is one of the main problems. The negative consequences of the informal employment practice are: on the one hand, violation of labour rights, and, on the other hand — underinvestment of the state budget. As far as a Russians' subjective opinion on the informal status of employment is concerned, the researches didn't find any real correlation between being informal employed and self-esteem. The difference between the formal and informal employment for a Russian employees isn't considerable. The employed Russian population feels equal uncomfortable in the formal and informal sectors. The phenomenon indicates low quality of the formal sector's institutions.

This article discusses the problem of implementing interdisciplinary connections between a school course in Mathematics and other natural science disciplines at a secondary school as topical means of developing functional literacy among pupils. The mechanisms of interdisciplinary connection of Mathematics with other disciplines are listed. As a means of interdisciplinary communication of Mathematics with other disciplines, there can be the interaction of pupils in the information educational environment to search for new knowledge, to identify properties of a generalised character, to solve practice-oriented problems, to combine knowledge from various general education subjects, to teach Computer Science based on the transfer and generalisation of knowledge from related subjects. The article provides examples of practice-oriented tasks that illustrate the relationship of Mathematics with such secondary school disciplines as Computer Science, Biology, Geography, and Physics. It is noted that when solving such problems, schoolchildren learn various aspects of multi-level practice-oriented activities, including the use of computer capabilities and the global Internet. It is shown that mathematical constructions and their analogues are found even in areas of knowledge quite distant from exact sciences, such as literature, for example. It is substantiated that it is the solution of interdisciplinary problems that forms the meta-skills necessary for everyday life in pupils.
