The purpose of the study presented in the article is the empirical study of the typical life spheres where social activity of young people is manifested. The empirical study was carried out on a sample of student youth ( N = 236), which included high school students from secondary schools ( n = 118) and students from higher educational institutions ( n = 118) from Saratov and the Saratov region. We used the questionnaire aimed at registering various forms of social activity and the degree of their manifestation (by R.M. Shamionov, I.V. Arendachuk, E.E. Bocharova, M.V. Grigorieva, A.I. Zagranichniy, M.A. Klenova, N.V. Usova, O.A. Cherekayeva, A.A. Sharov, 2018) and the technique called “Morphological Test of Life Values” (by V.F. Sopov, L.V. Karpushina, 2001) to study various life spheres. Presumably, there are typical spheres of manifestation of various forms of social activity, differing in content orientation. It has been established that the typical spheres of social activity manifestation in young people are the spheres of professional (educational and professional) life, social activity, education and hobbies. The study revealed the typical spheres for various forms of social activity manifestation. Among them are the sphere of professional (educational and professional) life, i.e. leisure, altruistic, socio-economic, spiritual, Internet-network, socio-political, and civil forms of activity; the sphere of social activity, i.e. leisure, altruistic, socio-economic, and socio-political forms of activity; the sphere of education, i.e. leisure, altruistic, educational and developmental, protest forms of activity; the hobby-related sphere, i.e. leisure, altruistic, spiritual, civil forms of activity; the sphere of family life, i.e. altruistic and subcultural forms of activity. We have discovered contradictory tendencies regarding functional manifestation in some forms of social activity in various life spheres and the restriction of other forms of social activity and areas of their manifestation. The applied aspect of the problem under study can be implemented in the development of youth policy programs.

In the sample of students we have recorded a trend towards negative dynamics in the range of typical spheres of social activity manifestation, which, moreover, differs in its substantive multidirectionality. The study has shown that manifestation of various forms of social activity in the typical spheres of life is characterized by multidirectional dynamics of their motives’ actualization, depending on the person’s social and age-related status. The applied aspect of the problem under study can be implemented in the development of youth policy programs.

The purpose of the study presented in the article is an empirical study of the relationship between characteristics of moral self-determination and various forms of social activity of young people. The study involves students (N = 236): high school students (n = 118) and university students (n = 118) of Saratov and Saratov Oblast (Russia) aged from 17 to 19 years. We use the following techniques as methodological tools: a questionnaire aimed at registering various forms of social activity and the degree of its manifestation (R. M. Shamionov, I. V. Arendachuk, E. E. Bocharova and others) and the “Moral self-determination of an individual” technique (A. E. Vorobyova, A. B. Kupreychenko) to record the characteristics of moral self-determination. The hypothesis of the study is an assumption regarding presence of multidirectional relationships between the measures of manifestation of the moral self-determination parameters and self-assessments of various forms of social activity. Recognition of the importance of morality and ethics is a positive predictor of altruistic and educational and developmental forms of activity of schoolchildren and a negative predictor in the case of actualization of the socio-economic activity of university students. We have recorded the tendency of positive dynamics in the manifestation frequency of relationships between the parameters of moral self-determination and forms of social activity: from the minimum number among schoolchildren to its increase among university students. The materials presented can be implemented in the practice of advisory services of educational institutions and in the organization of socially useful activities of young people.

В статье рассматривается социальная активность молодежи в контексте смысловых представлений студентов вузов. На основании материалов регионального эмпирического исследования были проанализированы смыслы, которыми наделяется активность и которые имеют высокую значимость в саморегуляции общественно направленной и индивидуализированной активности студентов. Выявлено, что смысл социальной активности в восприятии вузовской молодежи соотносится с приоритетами органов исполнительной власти, занимающихся реализацией молодежной политики; определена зависимость между частотой участия студентов в практиках социальной активности и готовностью воспринимать данную деятельность посредством институционально организованных форм. Определены доминирующие мировоззренческие установки среди вузовской молодежи и описана их связь с мотивацией социальной активности в исследуемой группе. Выявлено противоречие между смысловым представлением о социальной активности и проявляемой деятельностью: образ определяется студентами через доминирование альтруистических ценностей, а в основе реальной активности молодых людей находятся гедонистические и инструментальные ценности. The article attempts to analyze the social activity of youth in the context of semantic representations of university students. Based on the materials of a regional empirical study, the meanings of activity are analyzed, as well as those meanings that are significant in the self-regulation of socially directed and individualized activity of students. The research shows that the meaning of social activity in the perception of university youth correlates with the priorities of executive authorities involved in the implementation of youth policy; the dependence between the frequency of students' participation in social activity practices and the willingness to perceive this activity through institutionally organized forms is determined. The dominant ideological attitudes among university youth are analyzed and their connection with the motivation of social activity is described. The contradiction between the semantic idea of social activity and the activity manifested is revealed: the students determine this activity basing on the altruistic values, but in practice, hedonistic and instrumental values are at the heart of the activities of young people.

Formulation of the problem. Due to the relevance of civic education for young people, in particular high school students, an integrated course of Civic Education was included in the main curriculum. However, there is a problem of lack of a holistic approach, a system of motivation to study the subject, and formal education’s limited resources. There is currently a need to intensify civic education through the involvement of the students in practice. The performance of the course and the level of civic education will increase significantly if it is implemented in addition to formal education, in a non-formal one. The article answers the question of how to make the process of training an active citizen more integral and more efficient. Materials and methods. The experience of Ukrainian public organizations in the implementation of civic education projects through participatory artistic practices is used. The analysis of pedagogical, sociological, and scientific-methodological literature on the education of civic position of youth in the system of formal and non-formal education is applied. Results. The model of participatory artistic practices is described as a modern tool of civic education and civic action in terms of their multi-agent structure, which includes the cooperation of students, educators, artists, school administration, local government representatives, the general community. The methods and approaches to civic education programs are presented. The organizational algorithm of the participatory art practice with elements of civic education is specified. Conclusions. The existing integrated curriculum for Civic Education, implemented in the tenth grade, needs practical support through the field of non-formal education. This possibility is provided by the algorithms of civic education projects through participatory artistic practices that are implemented in extracurricular time. The introduced cases show the high efficiency of such practices in ensuring the civic competencies of young people. Participation in such practices provides students with the formation of cross-cutting competencies, which are revealed through social activity, social responsibility, tolerance, the ability to advocate their thoughts and positions, the ability to interact both horizontally and vertically.

The purpose of the study is to establish the interconnection between perfectionism and forms of social activity in students. The study involved representatives of different age groups, all of whom were students (N = 236): high school students (n = 118) and university students (n = 118) from Saratov and Saratov region aged 17 to 19. The methodological tools, that we used, involved a questionnaire aimed at recording various forms of social activity and the degree of their manifestation (R. M. Shamionov, I. V. Arendachuk, E. E. Bocharova et al.) and the "Multidimensional scale of perfectionism" (P. L. Hewitt, G. L. Flett; adapted by I. I. Gracheva). We used the above-listed tools to study the ratio of the correlation of manifestation of perfectionism parameters. Presumably, we can observe the presence of multidirectional relationships between the degree of manifestation of the parameters of perfectionism and self-assessment of various forms of social activity of an individual depending on their social status and age. The study found that representatives of school and student youth differ to a greater extent in the internal locus of perfectionism accompanied by absence of excessive adherence to other people's standards and norms. We recorded a tendency of negative dynamics in the frequency of manifestation of interrelationships between perfectionism and forms of social activity: the maximum number was observed in representatives of school youth, while its decrease was recorded among students. The ambivalence of functional manifestation of internal perfectionism was revealed: the development of a range of forms of social activity in schoolchildren against the background of the decrease of activity in the subcultural form of activity; in representatives of the student youth we observed actualization of activity in the form of spiritual activity against the background of deactualization of activity in the forms of protest and radical protest activity. In case of retention of the external locus of perfectionism, there is actualization of activity in the forms of socio-political and socio-economic activity in schoolchildren and in the form of Internet network activity in students. The applied aspect of the problem under study can be implemented in the practice of advisory services of educational institutions and organization of socially useful activities of young people, taking into account its perfectionist orientation.

Choice Of Life

The life plans of young people are an important factor affecting the future socio-economic development of our country. In this regard, a study of the prevalence of migration moods as one of the forms of realization of personal life plans of representatives of the younger generation is particularly relevant, since the results of a number of sociological studies tend to increase this kind of moods at the present time. The purpose of this article lies in studying the main factors that influence the choice of life strategies of the three main groups of young people (high school students, students, and representatives of working youth). The empirical basis of the study was formed by a questionnaire survey of students concerning the identification of the level of concern about the future of Russia and ways to overcome this concern by choosing future life trajectories. The IBM SPSS Statistics 23 program was used to process the received data. The study has found that most representatives of all youth groups are concerned about the future of Russia. However, the respondents who consider themselves competitive are more concerned about the future of the country than those who have a low estimate of their competitive potential. At the same time, with age, there was a decrease in the proportion of young people who are characterized by the manifestation of opposition moods. About a third of the respondents from various youth groups consider moving to another country as an option to overcome their concerns about their future. The predominant motivation of respondents who show emigration moods is to improve their living conditions, while the focus on education and professional self-realization are secondary factors. As a result of the study, it was noted that the desire to move to another country decreases with increasing the age of respondents and a high assessment of personal competitive potential. The results obtained could be useful for researchers who study youth issues, for the representatives of executive and legislative bodies of state power, for the authorities involved in the development of youth policy, as well as for the representatives of interested public associations and organizations.

Australian Education

In the Australian education system, there are substantial class inequalities in educational outcomes and transitions. These inequalities persist despite increased choice and individual opportunity for young people. This article explores high school students’ experiences of class in a social context they largely believe to be a meritocracy. Specifically, it asks: how does class shape young people’s thinking and decision-making about their post-school futures? I use Bourdieu’s ‘habitus’ as a frame to understand the role of class in young people’s lives, stressing its generative and heterogeneous aspects. Drawing on qualitative-led mixed methods research, this article argues that young people have internalised the ‘doxa’ of meritocracy, agency and ambition, conceiving of themselves as individual agents in this context. However, risk and security, opportunities and constraints, are not distributed equally in a class-stratified society. Young people from working-class backgrounds more commonly imagine insecure, uncertain futures.

The article is concerned with the phenomenon of extremism among youth. Analyzing the features of modern youth extremism the authors substantiated their conditioning by social, age, historical, and cultural factors. Young people tend to protest and reject the existing system, all-or-nothing thinking. While the phenomena identified as extremism today, repeatedly arose in the process of historical social development. A distinctive feature of the majority of extremist organizations at the present time is their focus on the issues of national identity or the political structure of the Russian society and state, using the principles of a totalitarian sect. In their activities destructive religious organizations themselves are also, as a rule, based on radical ideas, which is why they are recognized as extremist. The article presents the findings of the sociological study conducted in Saratov’s higher educational institutions. Based on the analysis of the study results the authors came to the conclusion that extremist sentiments among student youth are growing towards representatives of various nationalities and religions. The authors assumed that in order to successfully counter youth extremism, first and foremost it is necessary to clearly distinguish its causes, rooted in the society itself and shortcomings of state youth policy, from the forms of its manifestation that have social and group specific features.
