Meaningful characteristics of students life strategies

The dynamics of changes in recent decades have led to the transformation of society's value system, the breaking of social stereotypes, and, consequently, the complication of the socialisation processes of young people and building their life strategy. The purpose of the study is to describe the meaningful characteristics of students life strategies, depending on the study profile. Life strategies are considered as a central element in the ability of a person to build his own life, develop and improve. Based on the study of value and life-meaning orientations (150 students of five universities of different training profiles), the current level of formation and type of life strategy was determined; the content characteristics of life strategies were studied using content analysis of future autobiographies and questionnaires. According to the results of an empirical study, it is concluded that students who have associated their choice with professions such as "man-technique" and "man-nature" are dominated by a receptive life strategy; the selection of students in specialities such as "man-artistic image" is focused on the strategy of life creation; the strategy of lifebuilding is characteristic of students studying professions such as "man-man". The discovered patterns allow us to approach the training of young specialists in more detail, in particular, based on adjusting or developing the principles of training and creating conditions for the adequate opportunity in building an individual life strategy.
