OPPORTUNITIES FOR ORGANIZING EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES FOR STUDENTS OF A PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY IN STATE ORGANIZATIONS WORKING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE ^{[№ 2 ' 2026]}
In the current conditions of rapid changes in the worldview orientations of young people, the transformation of the professional training of future teachers involves the actualization of the axiological foundations of students’ professional self-determination based on the support of the processes of formation of the value orientations of future professional activity by including students in the implementation of the social function of a modern university. The social function of a modern university is characterized by the emergence of a new responsibility that goes beyond the classical academic nature of education and expands the scope of its implementation, which implies the actualization of the professional education of a teacher who is ready to solve the problems of education and socialization of young people in modern sociocultural conditions. One of the ways to solve this problem is to justify and develop the relationship between students’ educational practice assignments and social projects in extracurricular activities within the framework of the university’s Education Program. The basis for developing assignments for educational practices and extracurricular projects is the various social contexts of a teacher’s professional tasks, which characterize specific pedagogical situations. This, in turn, leads to increased interaction between the pedagogical university and various social institutions (general and additional education, institutions affiliated with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, institutions in the field of youth policy, etc.). The analysis of the results of the student survey indicates that students are interested in practicing not only in schools but also in youth clubs, but they face certain challenges. The article examines the relationship between students’ educational practice assignments and social projects in extracurricular activities, which were developed based on an analysis of the main difficulties faced by specialists working in adolescent and youth clubs.
