Social Survey Research and Postgraduate Training in Sociological Method

the article deals with the problem of implementing inclusive education in Russianuniversities . Despite the fact that education (training?) for people with disabilities has been implemented at all levels of Russianeducationfor several years, the general attitude to it is ambiguous, as well as the attitudeof the teaching community. The author has conducted a social survey research trying to estimate University teachers’ readiness to work with groups where such students study. The research has revealed insufficient motivational and technological maturity level. Following this, the author providesrecommendations for overcoming these challenges.

Survey Results

In this article, findings from a study of a forestry curriculum are used to identify current gaps and potential avenues of pedagogical contributions pertaining to social science content. In setting a context for this analysis a brief review of the potential contributions of social science to forestry, and a description of current social science research on forestry in B.C. and the surrounding region is provided. Survey results from: 1) stakeholders in forestry, 2) forestry undergraduate students, and 3) forestry faculty all point to the need for incorporating more social science content into forestry curricula. These survey results dovetail with observations about the need for more social science research on forestry topics. Key words: social science, forestry curricula, intergroup differences, social survey research

Ego States

An objective questionnaire technique has been developed for measuring ego states using the Egogram model. Tests show the method has good reliability and validity characteristics. In a statewide survey of a sample of 1044 adults, significant differences were found in the amounts of Critical Parent, Nurturing Parent, Adult, Free Child and Adapted Child expressed by sex, age, education, and ethnic background. Studies of recovering alocholics and prison inmates also found significant ego state profile differences from the general population in directions consistent with TA theory. A study of the public's ego state perceptions of Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford prior to the 1976 election showed significant influences on voting intention of the candidates' degrees of projected Nurturing Parent, Adult, and Free Child ego states. The questionnaire is applicable to clinical and social survey research, and can be used for diagnosis and treatment in the same manner that Egograms are used.

Discussed are issues of postgraduate training system in France. The European system of doctoral training was always effective, had a great diversity of programs, wide opportunities for the graduates. It set trends for postgraduate training systems all over the world. France is the second economy of the European Union, producing almost a fifth of the European Union’s GDP. This country is among the leaders that allocate a large number of funds to finance the research sector. In 2018, France’s gross domestic spending on R&D was 2.3%. In this regard, the social survey of French PhD students was conducted. They were asked to answer questions about the effectiveness of the French postgraduate training system as a whole and to assess the social and psychological side of the doctoral education process. We considered such aspects of the problem as the competitiveness of the French doctoral school in comparison with other countries, employment in the scientific and pedagogical area, the perception of the research fellow, and the obstacles that arise in the process of writing the thesis. The empirical basis of the study is a survey conducted in 2019–2020. The sample consisted of 149 people. It is noted that in general, future candidates of sciences tend to get into the research environment to continue working as full-fledged researchers. The analysis also showed that despite the good funding, there are certain problems in the field of science that concern the current generation of PhD students.
