Potential of digital technologies in the formation of civic identity in youth environment

Introduction. The civic identity of young people and the search for effective means of educating them is a decisive tool for creating a future at the state level as a legitimate community. Digital space today is considered as a mental subsystem of the collective consciousness of the modern generation. In this context, the aim of this study is quite relevant: to identify the potential of digital technologies in the formation of civic identity among young people. Materials and methods. The main research method was a survey of youth in the Lipetsk region. The study involved 431 respondents aged 14 to 25 years. The respondents were surveyed in March 2024. The study used, firstly, the author’s questionnaire to study the digital participation of young people in the civil-patriotic movement, and secondly, the “Profile of Civil Personal Identity” methodology (E.V. Belovol, S.V. Melkov, E.B. Puchkova). To process the survey results, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 program was used. For statistical data processing, the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis H test was used. Results. Among the youth, the dominant position is that of observers of the development of civil society in the digital space (44%), 29% of respondents take a passive position in terms of digital activism, 27% of respondents take an active position. However, these results are statistically insignificant (Hemp = 3.674 at a significance level of 0.001). Significant factors of digital activism include: age over 18 years (Hemp = 7.349 at a significance level of 0.001), university education (Hemp = 7.125 at a significance level of 0.001) or work activity (Hemp = 7.125 at a significance level of 0.001), urban living environment (Hemp = 8.109 at a significance level of 0.001). Digital resources are in demand among young people to varying degrees, depending on the model of digital activism. Digital activists largely use the resources of non-profit organizations of a civil and patriotic nature, as well as promotions and competitive movements of all-Russian projects. Digital observers limit themselves to turning to the educational content of large government projects “Conversations about what is important”, “Russia – my horizons”, and “Movement of the First.” Conclusion. The possibilities and demand for digital resources with civic and patriotic content are explored depending on the model of digital activism. The results of the study can help improve the effectiveness of educational work with young people, as well as the development of digital resources with civic and patriotic content.

A Study of Adolescents' Behavioral Responses to Public Events and Guidance Trends in Social Media Platforms

With the popularization and development of social media, adolescence has become an important platform for adolescents to express their views, exchange information and participate in society. The purpose of this paper is to explore in depth adolescents' behavioral responses to public events on social media and their guiding trends and to analyze adolescents' motivations for using social media, the manifestation of public events on social media, the application of social movement theories in social media research, and the modern transformation of public sphere theories. Using a mixed-methods design that combines quantitative and qualitative data analysis, this study provides a comprehensive picture of adolescents' behavioral patterns, motivations for participation, and social impact on social media, as well as their roles and challenges in public discourse. The study revealed that adolescents respond to a variety of types of public events, including posting, commenting, sharing, and engaging in hashtags. Adolescents' interactive behaviors on social media information diffusion, opinion formation, and social mobilization are important social impacts of adolescents' social media behaviors. They accelerate the spread of information through sharing and retweeting, participate in the discussion of public issues and have a direct impact on the formation of public opinion. In addition, social media has become an effective tool for mobilizing social action, and adolescents promote practical action and participation in public issues by interacting with and organizing online activities. This study proposes a series of coping strategies, including improving users' media literacy and information discernment, social media platforms to strengthen the regulation and auditing of information dissemination, and the government and the community to strengthen the regulation and governance of the social media field. This study provides new perspectives for understanding adolescents' social participation in the digital age, showing how social media, as a new public sphere, affects public discourse, social mobilization, and the formation of civic identity. The findings not only provide rich empirical material for sociological theories but also provide valuable insights for promoting social public participation, improving information quality, and advancing social progress. Future research can further explore the impact of social media on adolescents' social participation in different cultural and social contexts, as well as how to optimize the efficacy of social media as a platform for public discourse and social mobilization through educational and policy interventions.

DIGITAL HISTORICAL MEMORY AND CIVIC IDENTITY OF STUDENTS IN THE REGION

The article poses the problem of the need to study the influence of digitalization on the formation of the historical memory of young people. Based on data from an online questionnaire (multi-stage combined sample, n = 700), the main vectors of constructing digital historical memory and its influence on the formation of civic identity of college and university students are presented using the example of the Republic of Mordovia. The calculation of the “digital historical memory” index made it possible to determine the directions of digital memory influence on the young people self-identity and on the assessment of the main factors of civic identity. A statistically significant relationship was revealed between the choice of “new media” as a source of historical memory formation and such indicators as age, level of education received. The objectives of the study also included the study of memory nodes (selection of the most significant events from the history of the country), digital practices (activities related to historical Internet resources and portals). The article makes an attempt to sociologically comprehend the production of digital historical memory in modern conditions, which, on the one hand, is hyperconnective, i.e. accessible to a large number of users and hyper-meditated - formed on the basis of various and many sources, and on the other hand, there is a great risk of producing a fake story and its different versions, far from scientific character and objectivity, The authors make the assumption, based on the data obtained, that in the new geopolitical conditions the influence of the “digital memory” index on the formation of Russian identity among young people can be described as positive, although this issue requires further research.

Political Enlightenment in the Context of the Soviet Identity Project Based on Materials of Altai Krai (1945–1955)

This article examines the communicative strategies of the formation of civic identity by the system of political education institutions in Altai in the ideological space of 1945–1955 based on regional materials. The authors employ the concept of constructing the phenomenon of Soviet society relevant to the modern neoclassical model of science. The source base consists of normative documents of the Central Committee and the Altai Krai Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, office materials of the propaganda and agitation bodies of the region from the funds of the State Archive of Altai Krai. The authors compare the reports of party committees with the information and analytical data of inspections of political and educational work in Altai. Materials of the All-Union and regional educational and instructional and methodical literature, and regional press were used to analyse discursive propaganda practices. Based on the theoretical and methodological approaches of social design and intellectual history, the article identifies the goals of creation, ideological and semantic motifs, symbolic components, and examples of normative behaviour spread among citizens. It is demonstrated that the production of standards of collective identification of the inhabitants of the region was based on the national-state narrative that rehabilitated the “Homeland” chronotope. The implementation of the all-Union project of social consolidation and support of the Soviet government in Altai Krai focused on the consistent inclusion of the official version of the past in the individual life experience by teaching political literacy, oral, and visual propaganda in schools and school clubs. A feature of the rear region was the construction, first of all, of identification samples of labour heroism. An important technology for involving the population in large-scale activities to restore the economic and socio-cultural potential of the USSR after the Great Patriotic War was the motivation of the feat as a mechanism for personal perpetuation in the memory of descendants.

Conditions contributing to productive family-school cooperation aimed at developing civic iden-tity and patriotism in adolescents: With the main focus on representatives of indigenous small-numbered peoples (the Kumandins)

Introduction. The article examines the problem of productive cooperation between family and school aimed at the development of civic identity and patriotism in Kumandin adolescents as representatives of indigenous small-numbered people, taking into account their ethno-cultural characteristics. The purpose of this article is to identify the conditions enhancing productive cooperation between family and school in solving the problems of forming civic identity and patriotism in Kumandin adolescents. Materials and Methods. The methodological basis of this study includes scientific works by leading experts devoted to the formation of civic identity and patriotism. The empirical data were obtained in Altai Krai in 2023-2023. The study used ‘My Ethnicity’ sociological questionnaire, which enabled the authors to identify cognitive and affective aspects of adolescents’ ethnic identity. Using the scale of civic consciousness as patriotism and nationalism of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) allowed to assess constructive and non-constructive manifestations of adolescents’ civic identity. Also, the authors used D. J. Finney’s Ethnic Identity Scale for assessing adolescents’ ethnic identity. In order to identify factors determining the formation of civic identity and patriotism in Kumandin adolescents, a survey of school teachers was conducted and moral education curricula were analyzed. The study involved 90 Kumandin adolescents. Results. The article presents a theoretical analysis of approaches to the formation of civic identity and patriotism. The results of the study showed that the majority of Kumandin adolescents demonstrated a high level of ethnic identification. Based on research data obtained by means of D. J. Finney’s inventory, the authors identified high internal consistency in the manifestations of cognitive and emotional components of adolescents’ ethnic identity. The authors revealed significant features in the intensity of various components of civic and ethnic identity among Kumandin adolescents compared to representatives of other nationalities. In particular, statistically significant strong (d from 0.65 to 0.92) differences were found for all indicators of ethnic identity according to D. J. Finney’s method, with average values higher among Kumandin adolescents. At the same time, it has been found that Kumandin adolescents have a poor understanding of the culture and traditions of their ethnic group, practically do not speak the Kumandin language, and do not strive to demonstrate their belonging to the indigenous people. The study showed the need for schools to organize conditions for productive cooperation between family and school aimed at the formation of civil identity and patriotism in Kumandin adolescents: targeted and systematic educational work on studying Kumandin culture and preserving the language in classes attended by Kumandin students, involving the family as part of civic and patriotic education by means of social projects, engaging Kumandin teenagers to participate in civic and patriotic events related to their ethnic characteristics, developing recommendations for teacher. Conclusions. Based on the data obtained, the authors identified the conditions for productive cooperation between family and school aimed at developing civic identity and patriotism in Kumandin adolescents.

In this research paper, we conducted research focusing on philosophical discussions and important linking keywords such as music, emotional development and global citizenship, and attempted to understand the specific and essential purpose and meaning of global citizenship education, which is somewhat ambiguous but broad. I tried for it. So, this study asks: Why is music education necessary? What is music education based on artistic fusion? What is the relationship between music education and nurturing global citizens? Is it possible to cultivate global citizens through music education? I started with the question: Art education explores various possibilities to solve the social and cultural challenges facing the world today, and the purpose of art education is said to be to bring about culturally desirable results as well as individual aesthetic development. Music aims to naturally understand oneself within the socio-cultural flow and atmosphere based on a practical perspective and to find a philosophy of life within it, but in our school, education through education centered on academic performance and entrance exams is character education. is missing. There is no denying the fact that there are many problems in such educational settings, such as verbal and physical violence, group bullying, suicide, school maladjustment, peer relationship problems, and sexual morality disorder. We must cultivate emotions and sensibilities through music and strive to understand ourselves, others, society, and the world through aesthetic exploration, insight, and reflection in music..

Features of the civic identity formation in the education system

In modern society, there are active processes of globalization and intercultural interaction. In this case, the issue of identity at personal, social, ethnic, religious and other levels is important. Among them, at the present stage, the issue of the formation and strengthening of civic identity is one of the issues on the agenda of states. Elements of the civil identity structure undergo changes at every stage and have their own characteristics in each state. However, at each stage, components such as a sense of citizenship, a positive or negative attitude towards state membership, and the desire to ensure the common good are common to all. It should be taken into account that the formation and strengthening of civic identity is also influenced by factors such as language, social environment, culture, education system, media, family, legal framework (laws, rules, etc.), the situation in the state, moral norms, etc. The degree of their influence depends on the specifics of society. The education system as one of the factors of the formation of civic identity currently requires study. After all, given that modern challenges are aimed at destabilizing the political, economic, cultural and other spheres of life of states, one of the most vulnerable groups is the youth. The article examines the influence of the education system on the formation of civic identity at the present stage. The peculiarities of the formation of civic identity among young people studying in higher educational institutions are also revealed. Considering that the process of socialization of a person at a young age takes place quickly and efficiently, one should not forget about the need to begin the formation of a civic identity from an early age of a person. This begins primarily with the upbringing and assimilation of principles in educational institutions after the family. In this regard, the main purpose of the article is to determine the role and importance of education in educational institutions in the process of forming the civic identity of young people.

ВЛИЯНИЕ ПРОЦЕССОВ ГЛОБАЛИЗАЦИИ НА ПОЛИТИЧЕСКУЮ ИДЕНТИЧНОСТЬ

This article presents a political analysis of the impact of globalization on the formation of Kyrgyz civic identity. In Kyrgyzstan, during the globalization process, the pace of development slowed down, and acute problems arose in the political, sociocultural sphere. In the process of globalization in Kyrgyz society, old Soviet values were destroyed, and the formation of civic identity with a new system of values began. The beginning of political development is related to political processes in civil society and difficult situations or crisis situation. Kyrgyz civic identity can be implemented on the basis of reforms and transformational changes aimed at getting out of the above situation in society. In the context of globalization, the influence of internal and external conditions is strong. It depends on the choice of which path to the development of society and the choice of the political forces in the direction of development.

Psychological Analysis of Games Citizens Play

Aim. The research aim is to present the most common games citizens play, a description of the main game theses and roles, psychological gains and rewards, paradigms of relations between the citizen and the state, which determine the emergence of the game, as well as opportunities to quit the game. Methods. To achieve the goal, a system of general scientific methods was used: analysis and generalisation of the main provisions of source studies regarding citizenship and the social role of the citizen, systematisation and generalisation of scientific provisions about games, as well as methodological provisions of Berne's transactional analysis. Results. 43% of Ukrainian citizens engage in "game" interaction with the state. The most common games citizens play are: "Persecution" ("The state oppresses me"), "Offended" ("If it wasn’t for this state…"), "Parasite" ("The state owes me and should keep me"), "Patriot" ("Only I love Ukraine, all others are traitors"), "Exemplary citizen" ("I perform my civic duties better than anyone"). Conclusions. Implementation of the role of a Citizen can lead to both constructive relations with the state and surrogate relations, which lead to various psychological games-manipulations. The developed system of psychological consulting practices for the prevention of civic identity "game" deformations can be used in the process of psychological support of civic identity formation in the development of complex training, and corrective activities, as well as in the educational process when creating programs of civic education and the development of civic competencies.

Value orientations as the basis for the formation of the axiological profile of a teacher's civic identity

Introduction. Modern socio-political transformations in the country, focusing on the upbringing of the younger generation in the spirit of preserving and strengthening traditional Russian values, determine the increasing role of the teacher in the formation of civic identity among young people in the context of a large-scale technologically developing economy. In the conditions of new challenges threatening domestic value orientations, it is necessary to build a system of values of the future teacher as a translator of ideological positions in the process of educating students, in accordance with social needs and requests.The purpose of the study is to identify the value orientations of the teacher in the formation of the profile of his civic identity.Materials and Methods. Information from scientific sources (articles) and regulatory documents on the topic of the work was used as materials for the study. The study used theoretical methods of analysis, theoretical generalization, logical comparison of information, as well as methods of scientific interpretation.Results. As a result of scientific understanding and generalization of the proposed concepts of the formation of civic identity, the study proposes an axiological profile of the teacher's civic identity, representing the worldview of the teacher as a citizen of Russia, based on a system of national values: love for his native country, pride in his Homeland, civic responsibility and patriotism. The axiological profile of the teacher's civic identity is presented in three structural and functional components: knowledge, reflexive and regulatory, and also has a structural and dynamic characteristic with a description of the components and levels of formation in the terminology of the value justification of the development of the phenomenon of the teacher's civic identity.Discussion and Conclusions. The theoretical and methodological research carried out on the implementation of the project, which also provides for the experimental part, declares a powerful promotion of the axiology of education in understanding methodological approaches to the formation of civil identity of the younger generation. The practical implementation of the project consists in the instrumental development of the educational component of the professional training of the future teacher, capable of promoting the moral formation of students, solving the problem of the value and motivational aspects of the training of future teachers who develop personality.

Институты привлечения молодежи к государственной деятельности в субъектах ПФО: практическая работа и функциональные трансформации

The article examines the practical activities of institutions to attract young people to state activities in the sub-jects of the Volga Federal District in 2021–2023. The author analyzes in detail the main directions of this work, implemented programs and activities. Building upon this, conclusion dwells upon the fact that there is a notice-able functional transformation of these institutions, their place and role in the political and legal system. Tradi-tional representative and rule-making functions of such structures, enshrined in regulatory documents, are now receding into the background, giving way to civic-educational, informational-educational and partly socializing functions. This is due to certain successes of the regional authorities in the field of the formation of civic identity and patriotic consciousness of young people. Nevertheless, such a strategy also leads to significant problems, the main of which is the inability to deal with critical attitudes among youth.

FORMATION OF STUDENTS’ CIVIC IDENTITY AS CONDITIONS OF NATIONAL SOLIDARITY IN WARTIME

The article highlights the problem of students' civic identity as a condition for national solidarity in wartime. It was established that the formation of civic identity among student youth is an important task of modern education, which aims to involve young people in nation-building processes and active public life.

Civic competence is defined as the ability of a person to realize and protect the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen, to be responsible for the duties of a citizen, to take an active part in public life, to support the development of a democratic society and to affirm the supremacy of law, the ideas of democracy, justice, equality, on the basis of equals rights and opportunities. It was found that civic activism defines the civic position that an individual manifests in public activities, participation in solving political, social, moral issues, involvement in public and political life, as well as participation in election processes. Civic resilience reflects national identity and solidarity in everyday life and in the conditions of war and post-war times, the ability to resist hostile ideology and informational influences. It has been proven that the formation of civic identity is based on national consciousness, national culture, national language, and national idea.
