ABSTRACT
Introduction: the anthropological turn in historical researches has made relevant the theme related, in particular, to the study of features of the socialization of generations. Generation of the «children of war», put forward the first truly significant group of national intelligentsia in the Far North, is attracted a special attention.
Objective: to show the socialization of the Yugra youth in the second half of the 1940s, who chose the pedagogical path as the path of secondary socialization, firstly, as a relationship, namely, as the teacher sees them; secondly, as an element of pedagogical discourse.
Research materials: the normative documents regulating the behavior of students of secondary special educational institutions; records of materials of the Khanty-Mansiysk Pedagogical College. Along with general scientific methods and methods of historical research, the work uses analysis of texts, primarily analysis of vocabulary and stylistics, which allowed reconstruct the traits of two images of a student: «proper» and «real».
Results and novelty of the research: for the leaders of the Soviet education a model of a student of secondary special educational institution was not just a good student and a public person, but also a cultural young person who knew how to behave in the “society”. At the same time, representatives of the pedagogical staff of the Khanty-Mansiysk College, apparently, were quite satisfied with socially active students and students who did not have disciplinary sanctions. The main reason for the «lowering of the bar» was the features of secondary socialization of the national part of students who had difficulties in connection with the transition, in fact, into a new culture. There was an extremely low academic performance, especially in 1944–1945, because of which teachers were inclined to be satisfied with positive assessments and minimal social activity of their wards. The above-mentioned reasons of educational problems in national pedagogical colleges of the USSR have not yet been covered in literature.
Key words: secondary socialization, «rural/ethnic» and «urban/Russian» models of education and upbringing, rules of behavior of students as an instruction and the value attribute of a student, pedagogical discourse.
