Personal Formation and Fulfillment in the Russian Socio-Cultural Environment
The research features ways of personal formation and fulfillment in the Russian socio-cultural space. An effective use of educational technologies contributes to personal fulfillment. Higher education helps students to socialize and adapt. Modern society requires professional competencies. However, there is a contradiction between the state demand and the requirements of modern technological management, which determines the range of problems associated with the image of a graduate that would satisfy both the state and the employers. The specifics of the use of educational technologies are significantly affected by the national mentality, which reflects the degree of impact on social and cultural policy at state and regional levels. Human potential is a reflection of the formed knowledge; it is individual and market-oriented. The problem lies in the degree of the demand for graduates on the labor market and the competencies that should be adapted to the current state of technology development in various fields of activity. The effectiveness of professional training depends on the socio-economic opportunities of the institution, its infrastructure, and opportunities to reveal the creative potential of its graduates. The higher the degree of real demand for specific specialists, the more successful and qualified will be the future specialist. If the system of competencies defines the boundaries within which the university forms the image of the future graduate, a universal graduate should possess competitive advantages, which results in the problem of a unique image of the graduate.
