Abstract

The article describes a best-practice case study at ITMO University (St Petersburg, Russia) and examines how social media can be successfully integrated into the learning process to enable students to develop the skills necessary for effective social engagement and civic impact. It specifically concerns nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit and motivation amongst students registered on the course "Life navigation", which is designed to develop professionalism and citizenship in students. The program makes widespread use of the popular Russian social network "Vkontakte" as an educational tool. The impact of "Vkontakte" reinforces the results of other research undertaken into the role of social networks and messengers in the learning process. The evidence presented in the article suggests that, by incorporating the "Vkontakte" social network into the study program, students' commitment to social engagement and civic entrepreneurship is significantly enhanced.

利用社交媒体培养学生的公民创业精神和积极性

本文介绍了ITMO大学(俄罗斯圣彼得堡)的一个最佳实践案例研究，并探讨了如何将社交媒体成功整合到学习过程中，使学生能够培养有效的社会参与和公民影响所需的技能。它特别关注培养注册“生活导航”课程的学生的创业精神和动力，该课程旨在培养学生的专业精神和公民意识。该程序广泛使用俄罗斯流行的社交网络“Vkontakte”作为教育工具。“Vkontakte”的影响强化了其他关于社交网络和信使在学习过程中的作用的研究结果。文章中提出的证据表明，通过将“Vkontakte”社交网络纳入学习计划，学生对社会参与和公民创业的承诺显着增强。
