Risks For Individualization In The Context Of Socio-Psychological Safety Of Schools

Abstract

Transformation of the sociocultural environment has a direct impact on the educational environment. It also provokesrisksconnected with thesocio-psychological safety of the modern educational space. Within the framework of the considered problem is an insufficient study of the ratio of external to internal determinants of socio-psychological safety of the educational environment. It is important to consider the role of risks for individualization in the context of assessing the socio-psychological safety of schools. The theoretical part of the study is based on the principles of system-structural methodology. Individualization is defined as one of the core processes (along with formation, modernization and integration) within the author’s procedural-morphological model of the educational environment. This process implements the function of activating the personality in the educational space. The carrier of this process is a social block. The main risk of individualization is social apathy.The empirical part of the study is based on the cross-section method. Statistical methods: nonlinear correlation analysis, multiple regression analysis. The study comprised a sample of 186,000 students of middle schools aged from 13 till 16 years. The empirical data was analysed in relation to 45 territorial units of the Republic of Tatarstan. The procedural morphological model of the educational environment has conceptual viability and allows considering risks for individualization as problems of individual activation with insufficient sustainability of the social block of the educational environment.
