FORMATION OF A HYPOTHESIS FOR RESEARCHING PROFESSIONAL SELF-DETERMINATION OF RURAL YOUTH IN FORSIGHT-INSAFING FORMAT

Abstract

The article discusses the experience of forming and testing the hypothesis of an interdisciplinary study of the problem of professional self-determination of rural youth in the context of the digitalization of the economy. The methodological basis of the process of formation and approbation of scientific research is the system-cybernetic approach, in accordance with which the object of research is considered in the format of a dynamic information system (DIS). As a research procedure, the authors propose foresight-insafing. The article notes that foresight-insuring is a practice-oriented modification of insafing, and it will act as a procedure for both sweeping and testing the formulated hypothesis. Insafing as an area of applications of the theory of dynamical systems (TDIS) makes it possible to relate any of the topics discussed with the entire already accumulated base of developments. Communication technology of insafing provides an opportunity for a serious interdisciplinary study of the topic. The article considers an example of the development of a specific scientific hypothesis. The authors put forward a hypothesis in which it is assumed that the course of professional self-determination of rural youth is seriously disturbed by the contradictions between the attraction to the traditional attitude towards rural professions and a new approach to them dictated by the spread of various manifestations of digitalization in the agro-industrial complex. In the course of insuring, significant categories were identified that reveal the problem, which, in accordance with the TDIS, were built into the scheme, relationships were identified, and contradictions were highlighted. At the first stage, digraphs were identified: rural youth, professional self-determination, digitalization. By carrying out decryption and mutation procedures up to level 4, digraphs of the second level are built: multiculturalism of rural youth, development trajectory, systemic transformation of thinking and third-level digraphs: digital practice, digital self-determination, digital ecology. The article provides an example of a mechanism for performing mutations and a convolution of these concepts, as a result of which new sequences of categories have been formulated, through which it becomes possible to interpret the professional self-determination of rural youth in the context of the digitalization of the economy in completely new interdisciplinary perspectives of understanding. To test the hypothesis formulated above, insafing was a procedure involving participants and experts in practical activities on the use of organizational-activity games as a tool for transferring knowledge to the level of practice, for transferring acquired knowledge to the status of technology. The hypothesis formulated above is not only the basis for constructing a model of the corresponding DIS, but it becomes the basis of an actual project, in the implementation of which the participants of the foresight insafing are included.
