One of the key functions of the professional educa-tional environment of the university is to satisfy the need for social orientation of each member of the educational and professional community (group, course, creative association). The person who is integrated into the new social conditions is faced with the task of forming ideas about the profession, about the image of a professional, about a model for mastering professional competencies. In this regard, the social environment and the nature of relations in it are of great importance. The carrier of social envi-ronment determinants is a social group that has a system of values, standards of behavior, attitudes that will not be equally significant for each member of the group – group reference characteristics are refracted through the prism of personal choice, the experience of each member of the group, who has mastered patterns of behavior and interaction. Each social group has a certain degree of reference. The article analyzes the types of intragroup reference based on a combination of indicators of group co-hesion and the type of interpersonal behavior, pre-dicts the dynamics of the development of relations in a group with one or another type of reference and describes the effect of each type on the effective-ness of educational and professional activities.

The first part of this article introduces the work engagement concept in a framework of the Job Demands-Resources Theory and discusses a relation between work engagement and job crafting. Next, the author presents the hypothesis that university education can form engaged employees by enhancing students’ self-efficacy beliefs about their ability to effectively crafting their future job environments. On the basis of the Social Learning Theory the author proposed three possible methods on how the university community could promote job crafting behaviors among students. These methods are: trainings and persuasions, modeling, or observation of how university top researchers work, and allowing students to experience success in changing different aspects of the university environment.

Campus community gardens (CCGs) can potentially improve student health and wellbeing, mitigate social and ecological problems, and nurture university-community relationships. However, CCGs are located in complex socio-political and ecological settings and many community gardens struggle or fail. However, few studies have assessed the socio-political/ecological context of a garden setting prior to its development to understand the potential barriers and enablers of success. Our study assessed the socio-spatial context of a proposed CCG at a student university accommodation site. We engaged diverse university and community stakeholders through interviews, focus groups and a survey to explore their perceptions of the space generally and the proposed garden specifically. Visual observations and public life surveying were used to determine patterns of behavior. Results confirmed known problems associated with an underutilized site that provides little opportunity for lingering or contact with nature; and unknown barriers, including socially disconnected stakeholders and community distrust of the university. The research also uncovered positive enablers, such as stakeholder appreciation of the social, wellbeing and ecological benefits that a CCG could deliver. Our findings suggest that an in-depth exploration of a proposed garden context can be an important enabler of its success.

The Impact

University social responsibility (USR) is an important assessment criterion of the QS Stars. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the social orientation of universities as intellectual leaders in the development of society gains particular importance. The research purpose is to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the university activity directions in the framework of strategies (USR). An empirical assessment of the level and complementary factors of USR in the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) was conducted, using the method of integral and expert assessment. Grounded on scoring according to the principal component analysis, the structure of the factors of the USR development in the BRICS countries was determined. Multifactor regression modeling allowed substantiating the priority of factors stimulating the development of USR in the BRICS countries in modern conditions and arguing the main barriers to introducing the concept of social responsibility into university activities and expanding the stakeholders’ circle in it. The research results showed that the university management creativity, effective communication with the public and stakeholders, the quality of the educational process and the development of scientific activities stimulate USR development in the BRICS countries and should be used as the basis for the strategic planning of activities in the context of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. Conceptual trends in the USR development can be useful for universities in the studied countries when adapting strategic development plans regarding the social needs of modern society.

The Relationship

This chapter explores the relationship between language, identity, and politics, and Filipino responses to broader racializing discourses. Where do language and identity fit in Filipino identity territorializations? How do Filipinos present themselves to each other and how do they present themselves to a society that sees them as somewhat familiar but primarily assigns them a cultural and linguistic otherness? Using the Katipunan Club at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, it analyzes events that employ a nationalist ideology of language and identity that equates one language, “Filipino/Tagalog,” with one nation-state, “the Philippines,” to create one people, “Filipino.” In short, language serves a critical role in shaping identity territorializations in terms of how the boundaries of the social group are defined and what political interests are deemed meaningful and important.

Responsible Person

The article discusses the significance of responsibility in providing safety of the environment surrounding the person. The problem is caused by the contradiction between the human need for security and impossibility in many cases to satisfy it because of inadequate fulfilment of the duties by employees. The purpose of the article is to outline the ways of solving this contradiction by pedagogical means. The methodological basis of the research is systematic, activity-based, and subject-subject approaches. The author reveals the essential features of responsible behavior and prerequisites for the formation of a responsible person: macro-level (organization of public life); family and other micro-communities; educational institutions. Importance of effort consolidation of all subjects of pedagogical influence for solving urgent educational problems is noted. The role of certain principles of education in the formation of a responsible person in the past and at the present stage is shown. Particular attention is paid to the role of higher education in the formation of responsibility, since it is in the university environment where students develop such patterns of behavior that afterwards may be used in public and everyday life, and in their profession. This approach makes a purely pedagogical issue socially important.

WE WISH to describe a therapy group formed as an experiment in a pediatric hospital setting. Part One of the paper presents the rationale and structure of the group. The second part is designed to give the reader a descriptive summary of the group and individual activity covering the series of 12 meetings, with no attempt at dynamic evaluation of the material presented. The latter will be reserved for a later communication. Part One Our interest in establishing a group program in this setting was based upon the observation that a prophylactic measure was needed for those children who, because of long hospitalizations, were not adequately stimulated for emotional growth. In addition, certain children showed a variety of emotional needs which we felt would be better understood and dealt with in a group program. These children may or may not have been considered "problems" on the ward. It was decided that the social group worker would provide an opportunity for the children to function in a social group with as little adult-imposed restriction as was reasonable, so that the child could evidence as clearly as possible his characteristic patterns of behavior in a group of peers. No formal psychodynamic diagnosis was made on any child prior to admission to the group. A tentative dynamic formulation in regard to behavior and personality organization was made for each child after each meeting. This aided appropriate handling of the child in the group and made it possible to give recommendations to hospital personnel who would influence the child when away from the group.

Social and valuable orientation on health activities is formed and regulated with the help of influence on a person (social group) by certain factors. The overall understanding the word as factor is the main reason; moving force of some process; some relations and relationships; this is that is conditioned objective necessary or subjective desired result. Factors of health activities are connected at overall system which has own construction and functions. Their main elements are two groups of factors: social and natural ones. The action of natural factors is connected with biological nature of a human and dependence from environment. Social factors are economic, social and political, organizational and leading as well as psychological and pedagogical and moral reasons of health activities. So there are three united processes of a magnet of humans to lessons of physical exercises: 1) the process of external influence of a society on a person that is social orientation on health activities; 2) the external process of understanding a person an influence of natural or social environment that is orientation of health activities; 3) the result of orientation as the done motives that is social and valuable orientation on this activities. Abovenamed processes and phenomena are the social orientation on health activities; this activities is an influence of a society or social group on certain subject to appear social and valuable orientation on lessons of physical exercises and further development of physical culture as a whole. At a mechanism of a social orientation the economic and social and political factors have a certain influence on forming given orientation. For providing their certain influence at a structure of social orientation there are special group of factors – factors of orientation on health activities. These factors are special organized actions which are complex reason of certain kind of relation to activities. When magnetizing a subject to lessons of physical exercises with the help of factors of orientation there are such stages: grounding for this subject a necessity at health activities; opening methods and means of its organization; understanding such activities themselves when taking part at it; working and widening results of all previous stages. Such for determinates a structure of factors of orientation according to their content and principle of directed action.

This article tackles a wide range of issues related to social and professional adaptation of youth in the context of structural and social transformations. It is observed that currently, the employment and occupation challenges remain are among the most critical objectives to be attained and need to be resolved as soon as possible. It is argued that the objective reality of modern social relations is the constantly changing labor market environment; moreover, the current situation in the employment sector significantly complicates the situation for young people. In particular, it is emphasized that the labor market puts young professionals in the system of fierce competition with professionals who already have work experience. Ultimately, transformations in various fields – social, economic and political system of fierce competition – have caused a decline in the social value of labor for many young people that has resulted in moral degradation and triggered social pessimism – a disbelief that they will be ever able to get an interesting job that is paid fairly which translates into polarization between effort and wages, which in fact often differ. A survey of graduates conducted in the frameworks of the University Hackathon Ecosystem has revealed the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of future professionals and their ability to integrate into the social environment. Processing of research outcomes using the tools of mathematical statistics to obtain values with estimated availability and reliability has demonstrated the validity of the developed favourable organizational and pedagogical environment in the university. In this context, consistent implementation of this organisational and pedagogical paradigm ensures the highest effectiveness of adaptation to professional activities based on education values as well as social integration readiness. The proposed model of promoting professional partnership-based adaptation of students between the university and social institutions and organizations characterizes the pre-working period of educational and professional adaptation. It is assumed that enhancing the students’ adaptation to professional career will help would be professionals find confidence in their abilities and become competitive in the labor market, reinforcing new values of professional self-development and professional development, and facilitate further integration into society. It is argued that the use of traditional labor socialization methods is not always sufficient to attain relevant professional maturity which is associated with different character and motivation to professional activity. The findings verify that some young people are engaged in non-professional activities, some work in the profession but do not seek to develop their professional skills, there are also cases of discrimination against young people by the older generation which refer to professional growth opportunities. An experiment based on the University Hackathon Ecosystem provides argument that the professional socialization of individuals assumes a certain time period to enter the professional environment, gain professional experience, master the standards and values of the professional community, as well as the process of accumulation and active implementation of personal professional experience.

Broad Approach

Much has been written about the masters of theology at the University of Paris in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries and their views on the nature of theology. Less work has been done on their view of themselves as a social group and what they were supposed to do with their distinctive kind of knowledge, however they defined it. Furthermore, analysis of their self-image has remained very general, included within studies of masters in all subjects in all universities over several centuries. This broad approach is entirely justified in that many sources deal with learning in general and because study of the Paris theologians contributes to wider debate about the social and political significance of medieval universities and intellectuals. It is, however, important to examine the self-image of the masters of theology at Paris specifically because, whatever the wider contemporary ideals, the world of learning was in reality far from homogeneous and harmonious.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the perceptions of student leaders of the undergraduate course in Nursing about the motivations and/or risk factors for substance use in the university environment. Method: qualitative, transversal, descriptive study developed in a university campus in the state of São Paulo. Thirty members of associations affiliated with the course in Nursing participated. A questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were used, and the information was subjected to content analysis. Results: the influence of the social environment was the central element in the results. The circumstances of the context, some conditions that favor the use of substances and the students’ expectations regarding their use were perceived as risk factors, among which the influence of friends (96%), curiosity and search for fun (93%) stood out. Final considerations: alternatives in the university context, in conjunction with student leaders, aimed at reducing the exposure to physical and psychological suffering, constitute important resources to prevent substance abuse.
