Description
Summary:The aim of this study is to analyze the attitude of a young person to work and the possibility of professional activity simultaneously with obtaining higher education. The study was conducted on a sample of young people who study and work in ecobiological centers that use the principles of the enriched educational environment (using as an example the educational project in Brazil - center Recanto Maestro, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil). Methods such as the Schwartz Portrait Values Questionnaire, the hardiness survey (by Salvatore Maddi), the author's questionnaire on work experience and the evaluation of cases from movies reflecting the relationship between the subordinate and the leader wereused. The comparative analysis showed that the study group of young people who received training through work in the Recanto Maestro is distinguished by the prevalence of the value of self-determination and power, demonstrates a higher level of vitality and this group also according to the evaluation of two excerpts from films has a more functional and constructive vision of relations leader-subordinate. The study showed that young people choose work that requires from them higher level of responsibility, find opportunities to master practical activities, development and self-realization. The results demonstrate that the creation of different types of enriched educational environment, in particular the model of learning through work, also stimulates in the young people certain value changes, the development of the ability for autonomous decision-making. The description of the experience of using the enriched educational environment (learning through work) in this educational project is possible for replication in the framework of other educational projects in different countries. In the future it is planned to conduct a similar study in Russia on the territory of similar centers with the cross-cultural analysis.
