Социокультурная обусловленность воспитания в системе дополнительного образования детей

Abstract

The study aims to actualise the sociocultural approach to value foundations of structuring the process of children’s upbringing in the system of additional education, taking into account the demand of the modern Russian society for thoughtful, well-rounded and well-educated young people. The article shows that there is a number of contradictions and issues that prevent successful achievement of additional education objectives in the modern Russian society. Scientific novelty of the work is accounted for by integrated application of the items of sociocultural and subject-activity methodology for analysing the process of upbringing in the system of children’s additional education, which allowed the researchers to study the process of forming value components of a child’s worldview and to identify the role of social subjects performing the functions of upbringing in the process of additional education. As a result of analysing the data of a survey conducted among the parents of adolescents studying in institutions of additional education, the researchers concluded that the parents highly appreciate the role played by institutions of additional education in children upbringing and that this factor is conditioned by professionalism of teachers working in these institutions.
