PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION OF FUTURE SPECIALISTS: VALUE ORIENTATIONS OF THE STUDENT YOUTH OF YAKUTIA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CHINESE EXPERIENCE

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the value orientations and professional attitudes of students of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in comparison with the problems of education in China. Based on the data of a sociological survey (N=69), family values, attitudes to work, educational and career strategies, and interpersonal trust are considered. A combination of traditional values (family, respect for elders, the importance of work) with pragmatic professional attitudes has been revealed. Based on the theoretical framework (axiological and sociocultural approaches) and comparative analysis with Chinese studies, it is proved that in both countries the family and collectivist orientations remain key resources of education, but in China the institutionalization of value education is more pronounced. The results can be used in the development of educational work programs in Russian educational institutions and in Russian-Chinese educational projects.
