Современные задачи воспитания подростков и молодежи в социально-культурном контексте

Abstract

The article deals with modern problems of improving educational work with modern Russian teenagers and young people who are experiencing negative effects of the consequences of long-term social instability and the loss of social guidelines for spiritual and moral development. The purpose of the article is to determine the current and modern directions of educational work with adolescents and young people. Research methods are analysis of sources, analysis and generalization of modern practical experience of pedagogical and socio-pedagogical activities, including the experience of the authors themselves. The authors identify the main characteristic features of modern socio-cultural problems of education of adolescents and young people, causing the need to change the strategy of educational activities. These problems are rooted in the absence of a coherent national idea supported by society, without which the constructive theses of the "Fundamentals of the state youth policy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025" are poorly integrated into educational practice. The authors prove the significance of the problem of social and civic passivity, the lack of psychological and pedagogical support for personal self-determination in society, spontaneous cultural practices of adolescents and young people, and the decrease in their motivation for socially significant goals, priorities of professional and personal growth. The article determines significance of shifting existing decisions and initiatives about the career guidance into a practice-oriented, rather than formal. The authors provide some factual information about the insufficiently high level of communicative culture of many teachers, which hinders effective educational work with adolescents and youth, often causing conflicts and provoking a nihilistic attitude of adolescents and youth to the directed educational process. The authors prove the need to abandon the formal attitude of the pedagogical community to educational work, the importance of correcting the priorities of education, applying new ideological incentives, creating a system of psychological and pedagogical support for self-determination and strengthening the aesthetic education of adolescents and young people. The authors render the need to create a fundamentally new psychovaleological direction of educational work with adolescents and young people in the pedagogical process of educational institutions and in a broad socio-pedagogical context.
