ОСВЕДОМЛЕННОСТЬ СТУДЕНТОВ О ГЕРОЯХ ВЕЛИКОЙ ОТЕЧЕСТВЕННОЙ ВОЙНЫ

Abstract

The work is devoted to the study of the awareness of students about the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. The recognizability of the names of heroes has been studied in the works of sociologists. It turned out to be very low. The answer to the question is especially relevant: can today's youth remember the description of the heroic deeds of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War? The methodological basis of the study was a survey. The collection of information was carried out from February to March 2021. A questionnaire developed by the authors was used. The study involved 302 students from 4 Vladimir universities. Their age is from 17 to 25 years old. Among them there are 95 boys and 207 girls. The average age of the subjects was 19.81 years. As a result of the study, the main sources of historical knowledge of students were identified, a rating of the films they watched about the Great Patriotic War was compiled. The upper estimates for the share of Vladimir students who know about the exploits of heroes known from Russian history textbooks were established — no more than 16.9%, and the share of Vladimir students who know about the exploits of heroes whose life history is associated with the Vladimir region were established — no more than 1.0 %. An estimate of the proportion of students who know about the combat path of their relatives — participants in the Great Patriotic War was obtained — 21.5%. The share of students who know nothing about such relatives is 53.3%. Of these, 29.1% believe that they have no such relatives. Measures to raise awareness of students about the heroes and participants of the Great Patriotic War were proposed by the authors.
