Social engineering in the field of vocational education
https://doi.org/10.15372/PEMW20190402
Abstract
The article considers social engineering activities, identifies the goal, object, subject and mechanism for their implementation. It shows that social engineering is a multidimensional activity aimed at maintaining and reproducing the integrity of systems or their purposeful transformation. The article presents the main areas of social engineering (social engineering research, design, organizational, technological and consultative management activities), and the corresponding professional qualifications (social analyst, social design specialist, social technologist and management consultant). The article reveals that in Russia there are no professional standards in this area, there are no (in their pure form) areas of vocational training, and therefore it is possible to introduce social engineering only regarding specializations and profiles in related vocational education areas. It is noted that the new federal state standards of higher education expand the boundaries of implementing social engineering in the educational process; the presented requirements for the formation of universal and general professional competencies correspond to the main areas of social engineering activity. The article establishes that the work on social projects as a specific type of interdisciplinary activity aimed at preventing, minimizing or completely resolving specific social problems, is an important element of training in the field of social engineering. It is also shown that the range of socially significant projects is quite wide: from scientific-educational to cultural-educational and charitable. It is proved that the ability to plan, organize and implement social projects is a necessary component of the vocational education of social analysts, designers, technologists and consultants. As an example, the article presents the results of the work on forming the social engineering model in the framework of educational profiles that are implemented at the Institute of Social Engineering at Federal State Budget Educational Establishment of Higher Education «Reshetnev Siberian State University of Science and Technology».
