MODELING THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIO­ECONOMIC FACTORS ON THE CHOICE OF A UNIVERSITY APPLICANTS BASED ON COGNITIVE METHODOLOGY (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE OMSK REGION) ^{[№ 1 ' 2022]}
In recent years, there has been a steady migration flow from the regions of Siberia and the Far East, a significant proportion of which are graduates of secondary schools who have passed the Unified State Exam with high scores and enrolled in prestigious metropolitan universities. Omsk region is no exception and the problem of outflow of the population, especially the most promising youth, is one of the most urgent problems, since it negatively affects its intellectual and economic potential and image.
The scientific objective of this study is to analyze the socio­economic reasons affecting the choice of university applicants based on the results of a sociological survey, expert assessment and cognitive modeling.
In the course of the study, a cognitive model of the level of influence of a system of socio­economic factors on an applicant’s decision when choosing a university was developed and based on it, a series of simulation experiments were conducted to predict the impact of changes in control factors on the target factor.
The results of the study can be used to design and develop management solutions both at the level of individual universities and at the regional level, aimed at attracting young people to higher professional education in Omsk.
