This document discusses educational technologies that can help develop socially active individuals. It analyzes the category of "social activity" and identifies four types of educational technologies based on their impact: meta-technologies that address broad social issues, sectoral macro-technologies that implement educational policies within institutions, modular-local technologies that address parts of the educational process, and micro-technologies that involve direct interactions. Research identified that many youth do not fully understand social activity and see it only as participation in events rather than proactive involvement in social issues. Educational technologies like creative activities, leadership training, and volunteering can help develop qualities of social activity in students.

The document summarizes research on differences in education systems in South Asian countries and how they impact the development of diverse workforces. It finds that parallel public and private education systems that use different mediums (e.g. English vs. Urdu) and have disparities in resources produce social class differences and graduates with unequal skills and traits. To develop a diverse talent pool, the research proposes standardizing education quality, facilities, extracurricular activities and teaching methods across systems and mediums. Interviews with students and HR managers revealed gaps in critical thinking, communication and confidence between graduates of different systems.

Stanford is expanding its distance learning programs across the globe through new partnerships. The International Outreach Program is launching pilot projects that use innovative technologies like mobile phones to connect students in Africa, Latin America, and beyond in collaborative online courses. Some examples highlighted include a environmental education course connecting students in four countries, efforts to reform teacher education in Chile, and expanding a global engineering design course to include a university in Colombia. The goal is to prepare students for an increasingly globalized world through interactive, project-based learning across borders.
This study explored the gender gap in academic achievement in Malaysia by examining PMR exam results and learning styles of 411 Malaysian secondary students. The study found that females achieved significantly higher results than males in the PMR exams. It also found most students had active, visual, and sequential learning styles, but found no significant differences in learning styles between genders. However, gender, sensing learning style, and visual learning style were found to significantly predict academic achievement, suggesting accommodating these learning styles could help narrow the gender gap. Addressing the gender gap is important for developing human capital and workforce gender balance in Malaysia.
This document summarizes a study conducted in Lithuania on gender stereotypes in education and career guidance. The study used qualitative methods such as classroom observations, focus groups with teachers and students, and textbook analysis. The study aimed to identify attitudes and behaviors that perpetuate gender stereotyping in education and career choices. Key findings included that gender stereotypes influence the career choices of boys and girls by encouraging them to conform to traditional gender roles. For example, few men choose careers in teaching or nursing. The study also found that teachers and school environments can unintentionally reinforce gender stereotypes through their interactions with students.
This document summarizes a study on student perspectives of public university education in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Researchers interviewed 40 students across two public universities to understand how appropriate the current system is, what enables/creates barriers to student development, and how involved students are in policymaking. Key findings included: students value teaching quality over facilities; financial difficulties are the main barrier to access and completion; and students unions provide academic support and foster engagement. Overall, participants strongly believed university education should remain public and free to ensure academic freedom, knowledge production, and equitable access to education.

- The document analyzes how different educational factors like medium of instruction (English vs Bengali) and curriculum type (national vs foreign) impact the cultural values and tendencies of Bangladeshi teenagers.
- It finds that the core cultural values are largely unaffected, with only 1 of 6 values influenced by medium of instruction and 2 values influenced by curriculum type. However, cultural practices are more influenced.
- Specifically, it finds masculinity tendencies are lower for students studying in English medium compared to Bengali medium, and for those studying foreign curriculums compared to national. Uncertainty avoidance is also higher for those studying foreign curriculums.

The context of this qualitative research paper was the reflection of anxiety of the author still not practicing ethno mathematical ideas and not humanizing mathematics by mathematics teachers in the classroom especially in boarding schools of Butwal. This research paper was based on reviewing three literatures Vygotskian socio culturalism, Freires educational theories and Devkotas article on Ethno mathematics and Multiculturalism . The reflection of boarding schools Principal, a neighboring child of boarding school, perception of a migrated student, a mathematics teacher of boarding school, a guardian of boarding school and mine experience in an interview with mathematics teacher were the subjects of expressions in this article. On the basis of three literature review and the reflections of the participants, this research revealed that the mathematics teachers of boarding schools, view mathematics through positivistic paradigm and uni dimensional lens, follow Euro centric pedagogy, use various hegemonic practices of de contextualized mathematics in class which cause the students emancipation voice from respective sides.

Perceived causes and control of students’ crises in higher institutions in la...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that investigated the perceived causes and control of student crises in higher education institutions in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study found that state-owned institutions experienced more frequent student crises than federal institutions. Major causes of student unrest included increases in tuition fees and inadequate attention to student welfare. Stable and moderate tuition fees were seen as an effective control measure. The study recommended allocating more funding to higher education institutions and involving students more in decision-making regarding issues that affect their welfare.
Social studies is the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence. Within K-12 education, social studies provides coordinated lessons drawing on disciplines like history, economics, geography, civics, and others. The primary goal is to help students develop the skills, knowledge, and values to be informed and engaged democratic citizens.

This document analyzes zero-tolerance policies in schools and their impact on youth. It discusses how zero-tolerance originated as a law enforcement measure to crack down on drugs and minor crimes. It was later adopted by schools to promote safety but has led to unreasonable punishments for minor infractions. Studies show these policies disproportionately impact minority students and have increased arrests of female students. While some support the policies for preventing violence, others see a need for reform given the detrimental effects.
This document outlines 9 principles for creating a college culture in K-12 schools based on a partnership between UCLA and a cluster of 24 schools. The principles are: having college talk, clear expectations, providing information/resources, comprehensive counseling, testing/curriculum, faculty involvement, family involvement, college partnerships, and articulation between schools. The principles aim to ensure all students are prepared for postsecondary options.
This document summarizes a journal article that argues for promoting self-directed learning in formal educational institutions. It begins by defining self-directed learning and noting that preparation for self-directed learning is essential given unprecedented rates of change. It then discusses challenges educators face in implementing this paradigm shift and research showing self-directed learning readiness can be increased. Benefits of self-directed learning discussed include life satisfaction, academic achievement, and workplace performance. The document concludes by suggesting guidelines for integrating self-directed learning into curricula to prepare students.
This document summarizes a study that explored how 21st century competencies are incorporated into the national primary science curricula of China and Finland. Both curricula emphasize aims related to science education like inquiry and information literacy. However, the Chinese curriculum has a lower density of 21st century competency aims compared to the Finnish one, and lacks aims in the category of living in the world. The differences between the curricula are influenced by the different educational traditions they are based on - the Chinese aligns more with the Anglo-American model while the Finnish aligns more with the German Bildung-Didaktik model.

This document summarizes changes to the education system in England and Wales in the 1950s and 1960s, including:
- The system became more decentralized as central and local governments, and local governments and localities, negotiated their relationships and levels of provision. This led to uneven distribution of power and different approaches across areas.
- Selection of students at age 11 into grammar schools or secondary modern schools, and the lack of a coherent vocational training strategy, contributed to persisting inequality of opportunity.
- Worries over the tripartite system's efficiency and fairness increased interest in comprehensive schools and encouraged adaptation, such as making the selection process less stressful.

Three recommendations from postmodernist thinking in curriculumTugba Boz
This document discusses three recommendations for curriculum based on postmodernist thinking. [1] Curriculums should include multicultural perspectives that respect diverse cultures, lifestyles, and identities. [2] They should include both global/national and local issues to avoid disadvantaging certain social groups. [3] Knowledge should be presented as emergent and relative rather than fixed to encourage critical thinking in students.

This article discusses an action research study exploring constructivist social learning practices to help Russian-speaking teachers in Estonia learn the Estonian language. Following Estonia's independence from the Soviet Union, Russian-speaking teachers were required to improve their Estonian language skills. Traditional language classes had limited success. Researchers designed a two-year mentoring program pairing teachers to learn Estonian using social constructivist principles. Applying action research methodology, the study aimed to understand the challenges of official language learning through this approach and empower teachers' agency compared to traditional classes. Preliminary findings suggest the mentoring program may better support Russian-speaking teachers in learning Estonian through collaborative social learning practices.
This document provides a literature review on the growth of adolescence and education in Sri Lanka. It defines adolescence as the period between ages 10-19 based on WHO guidelines. Adolescence is divided into early (10-14) and late (15-19) stages. During early adolescence, physical and brain development occurs rapidly. Late adolescence involves continued physical development and enhanced analytical skills. The document also discusses factors that cause adolescent dropouts in urban Sri Lanka and the impact of dropouts on families and society. It analyzes strategies for providing continuous education to improve outcomes.
This document provides an introduction to social studies as a field of study. It defines social studies as the multidisciplinary study of past, present, and future societies from cultural, economic, geographic, and political perspectives. The goals of social studies education are to help students understand their role in the world and develop critical thinking skills to participate competently as citizens. An effective social studies curriculum incorporates 10 themes including culture, time and change, individuals and groups, power and governance, and global connections. Principles of effective social studies teaching are that it be meaningful, integrative, value-based, challenging, and active. The document also discusses reasons for lack of student interest in social studies, including an emphasis on other subjects and ineffective teaching

Philosophy of Education as a Factor of Social Developmentijtsrd
In the third millennium, the quality of education is becoming an important factor in the development of society. Today, we can see that not only knowledge but also the technology to use it is being given special attention instead. Education is important in terms of the renewal of the human worldview, the study of ways of using knowledge, the formation of the human intellect and the ability to adapt to various changes in the spiritual image. Investments in education are valued as investments in the future stability of the country. To this end, this article analyzes the role of education reform in ensuring social development and outlines its prospects.It is important that the philosophy of education in the world community is a leading tool that determines the future of the country, its future development. “In today’s environment, where the living standards and quality of life of the population have become a key indicator of the country’s competitiveness in many ways, we can see the growing role of education as an important factor in development. At present, societies and civilizations compete primarily with social values and education systems and philosophies. †which means that society has a step by step targeted strategy. The value of this ratio is confirmed by the example of the leading countries of the world.

Adult and non formal education in the global context.Alexander Decker
This document summarizes an article on adult and non-formal education in a global context. It begins by defining key concepts such as what constitutes an adult and definitions of adult and non-formal education. It then explores how adult education is framed globally through initiatives like the Dakar Framework and Millennium Development Goals. International agencies supporting adult education, like UNESCO, UNICEF, UNDP are also discussed. Finally, it suggests developing countries increase funding for adult education, international agencies strengthen advocacy, and increased research to further enhance adult and non-formal education programs worldwide.
This document discusses a study that investigated the relationship between identity development processes in international students and their motivations for studying abroad. The study surveyed 429 international students from different countries. The findings showed that motivation to study abroad for personal growth was strongly associated with commitment and exploration identity processes. Motivation to study abroad to change lifestyle or career opportunities was associated with reconsidering commitments and exploration. Students who had achieved their identity showed highest motivation to study abroad for personal growth. Motivation to study abroad to change lifestyle was associated with an identity crisis stage called searching-moratorium status. The results provide a basis for future research on the link between identity and motivations for international study.
Futures, communication and social innovationMario Guillo
This paper presents the results of a comparative pilot study of images of the future in youngsters from 2 different European countries: Spain and Finland. The survey of two groups of university students -from both countries- tries to look into identified cultural values and the message sources that can influence the way we look at the (expected and desired) future.
The importance of this project, that has been developed using the web platform www.F212.org, a pilot project funded by FECYT (Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology), relies on the idea that communication and exchange of information about images of the future through social networks will empower new generations for facing the challenge of building a desired future.

The Effect of Hidden Curriculum on Creativity and Social Skills.pdfAzharAnarMallongilon
This study investigated the relationship between hidden curriculum, creativity, and social skills among elementary school students. The results showed that hidden curriculum has a strong positive relationship with creativity and various components of social skills like appropriate social behaviors and aggression. Hidden curriculum was also found to have a significant positive relationship with students' creativity. However, there was no significant relationship found between creativity and social skills. The study concluded that hidden curriculum plays an important role in implicitly teaching values, attitudes, and skills to students, and more attention should be given to these factors in education.
A Quasi-Experimental Analysis Of The Adult Learning Effect On Problem-Solving...Martha Brown
This study uses data from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) to conduct a quasi-experimental analysis of the effect of adult learning on problem-solving skills in OECD countries. The study finds that young adults ages 25-34 who participate in nonformal learning activities outperform non-participants on PIAAC problem-solving assessments. However, participation in adult learning is influenced by societal factors like educational systems and social policies, as well as individual factors like social origin and occupational environment. National institutions also impact the relationship between adult learning and skill acquisition. The findings suggest policies are needed to address cumulative disadvantages over the educational lifecourse and reduce skill gaps among disadvantaged young adults.

It administered questionnaires to teachers about their learning styles based on Ned Hermann's brain quadrants theory. It observed their participation in training workshops and teaching demonstrations. The study found that the teachers' proclivities to teach world history before and during the training were consistent with their classroom performance. It generated themes around the teachers' values and commitments that will help with successful K-12 implementation. The document also provides context on the scope of world history in the K-12 curriculum and how it can be taught contextually while maintaining quality.
Youth Protests against Privatization reforms in Post Soviet EducationPERIGlobal
Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan are no longer immune to neoliberal discourses and reforms, introducing market-oriented practices in the sector of public education. Among the local stakeholders, these reforms are generally associated with the lowering of the quality of education and further widening of social inequalities. While these reforms directly target children and youth as the major recipients of educational services, there is no research on how youth representatives themselves understand, conceptualize, and act upon the newly introduced privatization reforms. This presentation fills in this gap through the critical discourse analysis of videos, social media, and newspaper articles about youth protests against privatization of public education. The presentation captures the opinions and activities of youth in three different settings and compares them to the official policy rhetoric on privatization in Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and Russia. Although youth become increasingly mobilized to protest against privatization reforms, it is unclear how much influence these protests will have on governments' privatization agenda.

This document discusses information security education in IT curricula. It examines guidelines from the ACM/IEEE-CS and South African curricula policies to see how they address information assurance and security (IAS). While IAS is identified as a key knowledge area and pervasive theme, the guidelines do not provide enough detail on how to adequately incorporate IAS throughout an IT curriculum. The document argues for an integrated IAS educational model to help address IAS as a pervasive theme across all years of study.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. 2584 I. N. POPOVA
The idea of non-formal education as a civil engagement resource for young
people is developed in all countries of the former post-Soviet space, namely in
Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, the Baltic States, Moldova, Ukraine, and Azerbaijan
(Santeladze, 2012; Veremeichik, 2010).
The need to provide education for the socially active young generation today is
revealed in a number of regulations that define the state policy in the field of
education in the Russian Federation. Among them, one should mention the Federal
Law No. 273-FL "On Education in the Russian Federation" (2012), the State
Program of the Russian Federation "Development of Education" for 2013-2020
(2014), The Concept of additional education development for children (2014) etc. In
these documents, the purpose of education is defined as the focus on the formation
of an individual, capable of realizing the creative potential under dynamic socio-
economic conditions, both in his/her own vital interests, and in the interests of
society.
The domestic research interest in this issue involves the study of the social
roles of man and his activity in the formation of civic identity and political views
(Popova, 2014; Povolyaeva, Popova & Dubovik, 2015). Today the analysis of recent
theses indicates the rise of a new scientific interest in this topic. The first rise of
interest in this issue was observed in Soviet Russia, focusing mainly on the role of
employment and workforce in the raising of social activity of children and youth as
well as on the issues of ideological upbringing and NGOs in addressing the problem.
However, there is apropos little work on how modern education technologies can
sort out the problem of forming the socially active individual (Shakirova & Valeeva,
2016: Galimova & Shvetsova, 2016).
Literature Review
Since the mid-1990s Russian research studies in various fields of knowledge
brought up the following social activity issues: the influence of parents on the
development of social activity of preschool children (Usova, 1996); specific features
of raising social activity of children and adolescents by means of art, labor, tourism
(Milovanova, 2010). At that time the phenomenon of social identity and civil activity
of the individual was studied (Artyuhovich, 2001), as well as the media impact on
their formation (Yaremenko, 2000).
Researchers were also interested in the study of conditions of social activity
formation. Young scientists studied the school education resources, the possibility of
student self-government development (Karpenko, 2005). They analyzed the
potential of extracurricular activities of students, examined the impact of the
professional activity content on the formation of social activity of the individual in
the course of its development during studentship.
Since 2006, Russian research efforts have been directed at active studies
related to the development of volunteering culture and voluntary activities of
children and youth as a real manifestation of social activity of the individual
(Povolyaeva, Popova & Dubovik, 2015). Among these studies, one should distinguish
research works specifically devoted to the following aspects:
a) Terms of preparing children and young people to volunteer activities
(Shagurova, 2013);
b) The results of volunteer practice impact on personal qualities of adolescents
and young adults (Arapov, 2013);
3. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION 2585
c) Development of professional competences in the social and educational
spheres (Danilova, 2011).
The previously mentioned trends in modern Russia are largely associated with
the development of civil society. Their dynamics is determined by the studies of
foreign scholars who since the mid-1960s considered socialization processes in
parallel with the development of education (Povolyaeva, Popova & Dubovik, 2015).
For example, during the international conference in Williamsburg in 1967, the
European educational policy was subject to criticism. The forum concluded that
education was too slowly adapting to the emerging socio-economic changes, which
entails political and economic difficulties (Infed, 2014). The announced “educational
crisis” promoted studies devoted to civil and personal aspects of the educational
process (Birdsall, Ross & Sabot, 1997; Bils & Klenow, 2000) as factors of the
national economic development (Benavot, 1989; Barro, 1997; Coulombe, Tremblay &
Marchand, 2004).
Recent studies advocated the idea of lifelong learning, thus declaring learning
throughout life as the basic conceptual stance. This idea allows making the
independent choice of the content, forms and methods of learning for any age group
based on social status and life experience. In this regard, the individual learning
path is developed both in the professional aspect and in the general cultural and
civil areas. This is emphasized in the paper by A. Giddens (1998), where the need
for lifelong learning is considered as one of the basic pre-conditions of forming the
socially active individual.
C. Bodeving (2014), one of the modern European scientists, defines non-formal
education for youth leaders as one of the most promising technologies of forming the
socially active individual. He considers several levels of recognition of non-formal
education in the society; this generates the information portfolio, which allows
young people to acquire professional, civil, recreational and other competencies
beyond the traditional education.
Presently specialists study the possibility of introducing a specific youth
content in the form of Europass portfolio, including five sections: Europass-CV;
Europass Mobility; Europass-Diploma Supplement; Europass-Language Passport;
Europass-Certificate Supplement (Selevko, 2005; Baetz, 2015). A.V. Zosimovskiy
(1962) and T.N. Malkovskaya (1988) studied specific features of raising social
activity of schoolchildren at different stages of their age development. The paper by
V.A. Sitarov (2013) considered pedagogical aspects of social activity development as
regards students of secondary and higher educational institutions.
Detailed methodology related to the certification of non-formal education in the
countries of near and far abroad is presented in “The European experience in the
recognition of professional qualifications obtained through non-formal and
spontaneous learning" (Dekhtiarenko, 2011).
S. Laboda (2012) argues that the emergence of a new request on the results
and outcomes of education is one of the most important prerequisites for the
development of non-formal education in Belarus. The acquired independence
initiated reforms in the field of the national education system, which aims at
providing relevant knowledge and expertise for the people to build their own lives
and to participate in public life (Veremeichik, 2010).

Aim of the Study
The research seeks to analyze the technological support of the educational
process in solving the problem of forming the socially active individual. Moreover,
the study aims to examine the value of the category "social activity" and determine
types of modern educational technologies.
Research questions
According to the objective, the following foreground tasks are:
a) to analyze previous studies related to the impact of educational technologies
on forming the socially active individual;
b) to explore the involvement of young people into social practice and raising
their awareness of the potential development possibilities in Russia; analyze foreign
experience in this regard;
c) to identify collaterally subordinated types of educational technologies;
d) to examine social integration of young people who found themselves in
difficult situations.
Materials and Methods
This study includes ascertaining information and is based on the methods of
pedagogical observation and analysis of results. This method allows studying
specific aspects or characteristics of the research subject in vivo, without planning or
purposeful experiment.
Along with that, the survey method was used in relation to high school
students, with a view to study the relationship of the senior teenagers to the subject
of social activity and their ideas regarding the essence of this phenomenon.
The study was conducted between 2010 and 2014, based on secondary schools
located in Vladimir, Kovrov, Murom and Petushki. These towns served as regional
research and experimental sites of the Vladimir Regional Department of Education.
The study aimed at considering the impact of the educational potential on the
formation of personal qualities of high school graduates and, more specifically, the
maturity of the socially active individual. Throughout four years, the study involved
more than 600 high school graduates. The survey analysis gave the possibility to
distinguish how young people (aged 16-17) understand the social activity
phenomenon. In this regard, one could point out the following features:
a) The largest number of respondents (63%) describe social activity as
participation in various events, including events organized by the school, separate
class or group of students;
b) Approximately 21% of the participants describe social activity as
participation in social life, including the manifestation of their leadership position,
taking social initiatives;
c) 6% claimed that social activity is a manifestation of activity in everything
related to human communication, including the development of social relations;
d) 10% said that social activity is associated with the manifestation of the need
to help people who need support.
According to the above data, approximately every third young individual who
became adult, showed the position of an active subject, oriented at the
transformation of the surrounding society through helping those in need (10%),
5. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION 2587
generating creative ideas and solutions of social problems (21%), as well as through
the development of social ties and relationships (6%).
However, almost two thirds of respondents (63%) demonstrated immature
understanding of the individual social activity, describing it mainly as participation
in a series of activities provided by the institutions and organizations where they got
their education. This demonstrates the unformed social maturity of young people
and, as a consequence, the inability to link social activity with the readiness to be
proactively involved in the socially important activities.
The information obtained during the survey among adolescents gave the
possibility to formulate the purpose of research: to analyze the value of the "social
activity" as a category and to analyze educational technologies having impact on its
formation.
Results
Keeping in mind the complexity of technologism in education and the results of
pedagogical monitoring carried out in modern schools one could distinguish four
collaterally subordinated types of educational technologies. They are determined by
the impact of education on the process of maturation of the individual as a subject of
social transformations. These include:
1) Meta technologies (social and political level), which foster the
implementation of the state social policy and complex solution of general social
problems (educational, medical, legal, economic, environmental). For example,
technologies aiming at combating crime and preventing drug use; healthy lifestyle
technologies, etc.
2) Sectoral macro technologies (socio-pedagogical level), which imply the
pedagogically expedient actions aimed at the implementation of educational policies
within certain categories of institutions or social groups. For example, technologies
aiming at the implementation of social rehabilitation programs, technologies of
educational systems establishment, the technology "school as the center of education
in the social environment" (Shatsky, 1980), etc.
3) Modular-local technologies (methodological level), which cover parts
(modules) of the educational process of a certain institution. For example, the
technology of organizing some educational activities (entertainment technology),
technologies aiming at the development of personal qualities, including personal
image-making technologies, the technology aiming at tolerance development, etc.
4) Micro technologies (contact-personal level), which present individual
interactions with a specific person. For example, social and psychological training
technologies, role-plays, group forms of work, etc. These technologies present chains
of technological adaptation methods related to the participants of the educational
process, as well as methods of involvement into certain activities, comprehension of
results and possible prospects.
Micro technologies can be part of any modular-local technology, part of a
sectoral technology, which is also a part of the meta-technologies. Micro-technologies
can rise in status, if their tasks are crucial for the educational team. For example,
the communication training (micro technology) may get the modular-local status if
the tutors set specific key goals, for instance, the development of certain qualities
and competences of students (for example, the team aims at communication skills
6. 2588 I. N. POPOVA
training as one of the social competences of the individual, not just teaching
stereotypes of verbal behavior).
The most widespread technologies used with a view to encourage social activity
of children and teenagers are the creative activity technology, training technology
(leadership and communication skills training, courses on decision making, etc.),
social planning technologies, the technology of social practice management
(volunteering).
From this perspective, today socially oriented educational technologies may be
of interest. Among them, one should note the technology of value orientation
workshops, developed and implemented in the Vyatka humanitarian gymnasium.
With regard to the analysis of relevant information, one can state that social
activity of an individual in the most general terms is defined as the ability and
opportunity to display one’s own efforts for the social benefit.
Modern Russian studies also use additional approaches to the determination of
this social, psychological and educational characteristic, namely:
a) Social activity of the individual - personal quality, which implies fascination
with everything that is happening around (in the office, town, city, country)
(Marentseva, 2011);
b) Social activity - as a degree of human involvement in socially active life
(Khaykin, 2000);
c) Social activity - as an urgent need of the individual, which is implemented in
a particular system of goals and motives that determine individual interests and
individual involvement in the transforming activity (Goryaeva, 2006).
Currently, the comprehensive definition of the category "social activity" is
provided by V.Z. Kogan (1981), who understands social activity as the conscious and
purposeful activity of a person, its integral social and psychological qualities, which
are dialectically interdependent and identify and characterize the degree or extent
of the personal impact of the subject on the object, processes and phenomena of the
reality. In this definition, the true way of social being is defined by the activity,
which can provide full self-expression.
Discussion and Conclusion
In practice, one can witness the reverse transition − decrease in the status of
modular-local technology to micro technology if its goals in a new, broader context
change to private educational objectives. In this context, O. Gazman (2013) believes
that organization of leisure activities, for example, is one of the micro technologies
within the modular-local technology used in extraclass work.
The studies carried out by modern teachers, psychologists, philosophers and
sociologists show a similar approach – they consider voluntary social activity of
youth as a resource used to solve social problems, as the precondition aimed at the
development of socially significant qualities that contribute to the formation of
active life position, as regards boys and girls (Arapov, 2013; Parshina, 2001).
In this regard, the analysis of technological support related to the formation of
socially active individual in the process of education is of certain interest. The
application of technological approach and the term "technology" as regards social
processes in the field of education and socialization of the individual is currently in
high demand in terms of pedagogical practice (Popova, 2014). The introduction of
technological approach is determined by the requirement of the system analysis of
7. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION 2589
innovation in the field of education, as well as by searching ways to enhance the
effectiveness of education process, as well as by the need to generalize scientific and
practical knowledge related to the solution of social problems, in particular the
problems of social motivation of children and youth.
G.K. Selevko (2005) believes that the concept of "educational technology" (from
Greek techne, "art, skill, cunning of hand”; and logos - knowledge) currently has
three main aspects of the analysis:
1) Scientific-methodological, where educational technology is understood as the
scientifically based approach to solving a particular social problem, with regard to
the achievements of psycho-pedagogical theory and best practices;
2) Constructive, where educational technology serves as a model that includes
the description of the objectives, content, methods and tools, algorithms of actions
used to achieve the expected results;
3) Functionally procedural, where technology serves as the process of
implementing the activities, the sequence and order of change as regards all its
components, including facilities and stakeholders.
The problem of technologism in the educational process is complicated due to
specific variability of the existing conceptual bases. For example, the algorithmic
paradigm, which implies gradual implementation of pedagogical influence on the
consciousness and behavior of the child, initially specifies certain mechanistic
approach to education. The representatives of humanist pedagogy, which basic idea
is to provide personal growth and development, actively oppose such approach. In
this regard, understanding of the uniqueness of every individual is opposed to strict
adherence to technological algorithms. From the perspective of humanistic
pedagogy, there is no universal method of changing personal qualities, or universal
means of influence on social changes.
Describing the paradigmatic approaches to defining the essence of
technologism in education, one should keep in mind the probabilistic paradigm. The
educational technology in this regard is considered as creating the environment,
which fosters the development of human personality traits and social competencies
that can provide his/her relations with other people, with the world and with
himself/herself. The structure of educational technology in this paradigm includes
the following aspects:
1) The study of subjective experience of students (value-based, behavioral,
attitudinal), social ties among the subjects of the educational process, their value-
based orientations, ideals, motives and needs, behavior stereotypes, specific features
of the social activity organization;
2) The system of goals aimed at solving the problems of socialization and
identity;
3) The activity motivation system related to the individual as the subject of
reality transformation, cultural creativity, and changes in the social environment;
4) The model of educational environment that would facilitate the formation of
a positive social experience in terms of involvement in the socially useful activities.
Analyzing an experience different countries, can note the Belarussian
Association of UNESCO Clubs organizes non-formal education for pupils and
students. In this regard, the following programs are the most popular: "Universities
of UNESCO Clubs" (self-management, life skills training courses, the exchange of
8. 2590 I. N. POPOVA
ideas and projects, cultural and sport events, press center); "Academy of UNESCO
Clubs" (project management, public relations); "Study circles and training courses"
(training for trainers and youth leaders on the implementation of social projects);
"Youth in Action" (seminars, training courses, international exchange programs on
relevant youth issues); "Youth initiatives in the field of non-formal education" (low-
cost initiatives to address urgent tasks) (Youth Summer Camp, 2010; ISUUC,
2011).
In Armenia, non-formal education aims at the development of political, civil,
social, economic and cultural self-consciousness, which is formed beyond or within
the formal education system (Galitskikh, 2003). In the Azerbaijani Republic,
particular interest is shown in the non-formal vocational education. Relevant
statistical data indicate a problem of young people involvement into the
implementation of non-formal educational programs: about 32.8% of Azerbaijani
students who have graduated from secondary schools (Grade 11) continued their
study in higher and secondary educational institutions, 6.3 % of them completed
vocational or professional courses and about 57.5% did not participate in any
educational program (Alioglu & Ramazanov, 2014). The young people who are not
involved in the non-formal education “make more than one third of the total number
of unemployed citizens” (Ibid). The risk of further rise in unemployment highlights
the issue of improving the system of non-formal education for the younger
generation of the Azerbaijani Republic.
The above problems are actively tackled in Georgia and Moldova. International
projects create additional opportunities for employment, self-realization and active
social participation, as well as for assistance in overcoming stress, for socially
vulnerable people and children (Santeladze, 2012).
Workshops devoted to value orientations solve the problems of spiritual
development of the individual, enable students to analyze large number of different
points of view on any issue and to form their personal views.
The algorithm for constructing the value orientation workshop includes several
stages. The beginning of the workshop (inductor) - the first task with a view to
motivate future activities of participants. It stresses personal experience of each
participant and creates a situation of choice, search for associations, awakens the
imagination, promotes further actions of the participant.
The first stage - work with materials, information, situation and experience of
relations. It includes the development of individual creative product, its
presentation to all the participants, the intermediate reflection and self-correction
activities. This work completes with formulation of questions / issues.
The second stage implies getting new information, its processing (drawing
diagrams, plans, projects, consideration and creation of posters, drawings,
newspapers), along with adjustment of the actual creative social product. The
crucial moment of the workshop is group discussion, the emergence of the gap
between the old and the new understanding, hypotheses, new issues, presentation
of key findings to all participants.
Reflexive stage - work completion through the general analysis of what was
experienced, understood, discovered along with determination of the new problems
(Veremeichik, 2010).
The workshop participants create slogans, posters, essays, reflexive responses,
reports, pages from diaries, etc. as the socially oriented "products". The main result

is the creation of conditions for understanding the existing value judgments,
ranking personal value orientations, development of new ideas aimed at self-
development and the benefit of others.
This technology is aimed at promoting the need to study man in connection
with the social phenomena and social reality, to analyze the problematic areas, to
identify areas, which need social activity and a high degree of involvement of the
country’s concerned, energetic young citizens. Implementation of this technology
provides the basis of values, which subsequently foster the activity-related practice
along with the presentation of results in the form of social initiatives and concrete
actions.
Social engineering presents another effective method and technology aiming at
stimulation and implementation of social activity. It is a constructive, creative
activity, which implies to analyze problems and to identify their causes, to develop
goals and objectives that characterize the desired state of the social object, as well as
to develop ways and means of their achievement. The practice of project activities
implementation is presently quite widespread and focuses on the formation of
students' social skills, such as "choice", "decision", "responsibility", "participation",
"understanding", "planning", "team work", and contributes to professional self-
determination and the establishment of civil consciousness.
During the period of Soviet Russia, the youth ideologists and the youth
movement represented by a strict «Pioneer-Komsomol» system actively used this
experience. Examples of application of these technologies can be found in public
organizations, projecting their future and deliberately raising their followers. These
include volunteer corps, group mentoring, organizations involved in volunteering.
Mastering the technology of the organization of workshops aimed at the
development of value orientations and social planning can promote conscious
motivation of socially oriented activities of the person as a full-fledged subject in the
formation of his/her civil and cultural identity.
This study gives the possibility to conclude that keeping in mind technologism
trends in the field of education, existing in the world pedagogical community,
divergent forms of social practices, are being actively developed in modern Russia.
Presently, they are widely represented by different socially oriented practices: social
actions, the development of labor, environmental, educational groups, sports clubs,
tourist groups and others. With due regard to the international experience, social
activity of the young Russians develops in line with the work paradigm and is
manifested in various forms. Among them, one could stress the social practice of
historical and cultural reconstruction, role-plays, search group activities, political
youth organizations, voluntary communities and others (Youth Summer Camp,
2010).
Therefore, realizing the importance of education in promoting development of
the individual, the person with a strong sense of responsibility for his people and his
country, one of the key priorities and responsibilities of modern Russian teachers is
reinterpretation of the potential of educational technologies as a resource for the
development of active social position as regards the new generation of young
Russians, and implementation of these technologies as an effective tool for
organizing modern education practices related to forming the socially active
individual.

Implications and Recommendations
Now countries are determined to build a society with individuals who
contribute to the development of independent thinking and demonstrate self-
realization in social groups and activities. So it is important to determine social
environment factors influence the formation of personality. Recent studies show
that technological support of the educational process can play in key role in solving
the problem of forming the socially active individual. We examine theoretical and
practical approaches to the study of social activity of the individual. The practical
value is that research can be the basis of teaching practices aimed at improving the
level of social activity of young people.
