FORMATION OF SOCIAL MATURITY IN COLLEGE STUDENTS IN THE PROCESS OF EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

Abstract

The article highlights the formation process of a socially mature personality during college studies. The authors reveal the concept of social maturity and describe its structure. The social maturity of college students is the willingness and ability to carry out professional activities and be responsible for its implementation to themselves and society. Modern youth is given a leading role in solving global problems. The ability to adequately respond to these challenges largely depends on the social maturity of the subjects of social development, that is, their willingness to carry out socially useful activities, to build individual trajectories of social interaction to transform themselves and the environment in order to eventually achieve personal and socially significant goals. Special attention is paid in the article to levels of social maturity of the individual.
