ABSTRACT
Introduction. Global socio-economic and political changes in the labor market and education, as well as new requirements for the quality of human capital, necessitate the development of academic mobility students of Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Yugra (hereinafter – Yugra), including students with disabilities. Special attention in the article is drawn to the development of academic mobility as a personal property at the stage of training at the University.
Objective: to reveal the features of the manifestation of academic mobility of the Ugric youth, providing readiness to make an individual educational route, prediction of professional activity, taking into account the requirements of new socio-economic conditions, which activate aspiration for continuous education and selfeducation.
Research materials: the results of the survey of students of Tyumen universities and the Yugra State University, including students with disabilities. The research was conducted in February – March of 2019.
Results and novelty of the research. The study revealed that the academic mobility of Yugra students is characterized by rigidity. As a rule, they do not demonstrate flexibility, willingness to restructure, critical understanding of their experience, do not predict their activities taking into account the requirements of the labor market. Rigidity is expressed in fixed forms of behavior with dissatisfaction with life, the presence of asthenic emotions, and weak awareness of oneself as a subject of self-realization. At the same time, students show a desire to restructure the experience, the existing behavioral stereotypes. The study sample is based on the assumption that it is they, young people studying at universities, should show a high level of mobility. Thus, there is a need to develop programs for the development of academic mobility among students, ensuring the readiness to make an individual educational route, prediction of professional activity, taking into account the requirements of new socio-economic conditions, which activate aspiration for continuous education and selfeducation.
Key words: higher education, academic mobility, student, rigidity, flexibility.
