STUDY OF EVERYDAY PRACTICES OF RUSSIAN YOUTH IN THE CONTEXT OF RESPONSE TO GLOBAL CHALLENGES OF MODERNITY ^{[№ 4 ' 2024]}
The modern young generation lives in unprecedented conditions of total digitalization, radical socio-economic and political transformations, when previous generations, traditionally playing the role of mentors, are themselves less aware of effective ways to respond to the challenges of the era and have less mastery of digital tools than their children. Professional behavioral patterns that have proven themselves in relatively stable conditions turn out to be rigid during turbulence, and following them can rather cause harm. There are discussions around the truth of the values of spiritual and moral culture. Studying the everyday practices of young people on the threshold of adulthood allows us to consider in detail various aspects of their life, including ways of responding and adapting to the changing outside world, the chosen professional path, value-semantic attitudes. As part of the study, a diagnostic toolkit was developed, including standardized methods, an author’s questionnaire and interview questions. An analysis of the diagnostic results of a sample of students aged 17-22 years revealed characteristic features of the organization of daily activities, accents of the value-motivational sphere, uniqueness of time distribution (including screen time), the degree of satisfaction with life and the presence of anxiety, as well as the causes that provoke it. Understanding the constructive and destructive factors that influence the harmonious personal development of young people allows us to propose a methodology for managerial influence on everyday life. The management of everyday life space should be carried out by educational organizations as institutions that perform a priority educational function. Based on the results of a study of everyday practices on a sample of university students, a person-centered approach seems optimal in the training and education of young people of Generation Z.
