RESOURCES OF THE UNIVERSITY EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDENTS’ SELF-DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The period of study at a university is not only acquisition of knowledge and skills in the chosen field of future professional activity, but also time when young people can actively work on their personal development. Self-development plays a key role in a student’s success both in their studies and future career, and in everyday life, influencing their self-determination, effectiveness and self-satisfaction. The article is devoted to the consideration of the awareness of the importance of self-development for modern students while receiving higher education and the resources that universities offer for the most effective assistance in this process. In the process of analyzing the scientific works of foreign and Russian scientists, the author comes to a conclusion that the problem under consideration remains relevant and requires further research. The scientific novelty of the work is ensured by the fact that, based on the analysis of a survey of students, the study helps to get an idea of the degree to which they understand the importance of self-development and how significant the university resources currently provided in this process are.
