Educational Migration

The article addresses the problem of outflow of youth from the region in connection with higher education. The aim is to determine the possibility of influencing the flows of interregional educational migration. The role of universities in curbing educational migration from the region and in attracting migration flows of young people is substantiated. The author presents a review of studies on educational migration and indicates the factors behind applicants’ choice of study location. The article dwells on the trends of interregional educational migration in the Volga Federal district, analyzes migration plans of high school seniors in Ulyanovsk region. The research bases on the methods of interdisciplinary literature analysis, sociological survey, method of expert assessments, and analysis of statistical data. The empirical base of the study became the results of a survey of 1010 high school seniors, 91 parents and 27 heads of educational institutions conducted in September-November 2018 in Ulyanovsk region. The proposed classification of the reasons for educational migration from the region and the reasons for staying in the region has a theoretical relevance. Based on the empirical data obtained, the ways of preventing educational migration from the region are suggested. In particular, it is revealed that the quality of education in regional universities is not a factor that significantly affects the choice of study location. To the greatest extent, the plans of school leavers are determined by the subjective perception of the socio-economic conditions of the region in which they would like to receive education. Since educational migration has objective and subjective reasons, the solution of this problem requires a set of economic, legal, advocacy tools. The article argues that there are two main forces in the region that can influence educational migration – these are the authorities and the territorial education system itself, the main structural elements of which are universities. In addition to the effective educational and scientific activities, universities need to conduct the targeted marketing policy, as well as to make efforts to promote their image and the image of the entire territorial education system.

Abstract. Background: High school and university teachers need to advise students against attempting suicide, the second leading cause of death among 15–29-year-olds. Aims: To investigate the role of reasoning and emotion in advising against suicide. Method: We conducted a study with 130 students at a university that specializes in teachers' education. Participants sat in front of a camera, videotaping their advising against suicide. Three raters scored their transcribed advice on "wise reasoning" (i.e., expert forms of reasoning: considering a variety of conditions, awareness of the limitation of one's knowledge, taking others' perspectives). Four registered psychologists experienced in suicide prevention techniques rated the transcripts on the potential for suicide prevention. Finally, using the software Facereader 7.1, we analyzed participants' micro-facial expressions during advice-giving. Results: Wiser reasoning and less disgust predicted higher potential for suicide prevention. Moreover, higher potential for suicide prevention was associated with more surprise. Limitations: The actual efficacy of suicide prevention was not assessed. Conclusion: Wise reasoning and counter-stereotypic ideas that trigger surprise probably contribute to the potential for suicide prevention. This advising paradigm may help train teachers in advising students against suicide, measuring wise reasoning, and monitoring a harmful emotional reaction, that is, disgust.
