Student's Choice of an Individual Educational Trajectory: Subjective Position and Selection Strategies

The article is devoted to the study of students' ideas about the choice of an individual educational trajectory. The features of the digital transformation of education are determined, the parameters of subjectivity as a conscious attitude of the student acting as a participant in globalization processes are described. Interpretations of the concept of choice and its determining factors are considered. It is assumed that students' ideas about the choice of an individual educational trajectory are characterized by partial formation and differ depending on the direction of training. 218 first-year students were examined. It is shown that students' ideas about the individual educational trajectory are quite meaningful and adequate. At the same time, the understanding of the essence of choice and their participation in its implementation are fragmented. The differences in the understanding of the phenomena of "individual educational trajectory" (X2emp.=13,9, p≤0,05) and "digital educational environment" (X2emp.=12,5, p≤0,05) by students of different directions are shown. It is described that the phenomenon of "individual educational trajectory" is understood by students quite well (less than 15% of incorrect answers), while students of technical and pedagogical directions give more correct answers than students studying natural sciences and social sciences.

Psychologists put emphasis on stu­dents as representatives of the global community [17], the priority of personal responsibility [2], and the maximization of students’ own interests [26].

The numerous pedagogical interpre­tations include the diversity and flexibil­ity of academic programs and technolo­gies [18; 22]; the variability of academic interaction, including extramural [15]; academic solutions based on pedagogi­cal design [28]; detailed and potentially changeable goals [36; 39]; variability of academic environment [6; 33].

Methods

The empirical study included a sur­vey conducted on the premises of the Kemerovo State University.The survey determined the attitude of students to tailored academic path and academic choice.It involved 218 first-year stu­dents, 65 boys and 153 girls, aged 17— 19, the average age being 18.71 years old.The participants were divided ac­cording to their major.The group of Natural Sciences included 52 students of the Institute of Biology, Ecology, and Natural Resources.The group of Tech­nical Sciences included 57 students that majored in Engineering Technology.The group of Education and Pedagogi­cal Sciences involved 56 students from the Institute of Education.The group of Social Sciences included 53 students of History and International Relations.The students gave an informed voluntary consent to participate in the study.To increase the reliability, the survey was anonymous.

The first stage involved collecting em­pirical data through a system of diagnos­tic procedures.

The analysis relied on the following methods and techniques:

1) theoretical methods: a review of scientific and psychological literature;

2) psychodiagnostic methods and techniques:

the methodology for determining the choice strategy in academic choice based on D.A. Leontiev and N.V. Pilip­ko’s procedure for highlighting and ana­lyzing arguments during choice-making;

an authentic questionnaire for as­sessing the level of awareness of such concepts as tailored academic path and digital academic environment, as well as the peculiarities of conscious choice-making in a situation of uncertainty and ideas about one’s future.

The methods followed the integrated approach to collecting data and the re­quirement of comparability.The scientific adequacy analysis relied on expert as­sessments: we selected six statements, two of which were completely true, the other two were partially true, and the remaining two were incorrect but had an associative similar meaning.The stu­dents received three points for choosing the correct statement, two points for par­tially correct statements, and one point for choosing an incorrect statement.

The second stage featured data pro­cessing and generalization.The statisti­cal processing involved SPSS 23.0 for Windows and X2 Pearson contingency tables.

The research objective was to deter­mine the subjective position of students of different majors regarding their choice of academic path.

The research hypothesis was as fol­lows: students’ ideas about the choice of academic path differ in their understand­ing of choice, their participation in its implementation, and their major. Analysis and discussion

The questionnaire consisted of ques­tions that made it possible to assess the level of students’ awareness about such concepts as tailored academic path, digi­tal academic environment, means of ob­taining information in a situation of uncer­tainty, and ideas about one’s own future.

The first question was What media do you appeal to when you need to make a choice in a situation of uncertainty? Fig­ure 1 illustrates the responses.

Most respondents appeared to be guided by their own opinions and de­sires.They commented that for them choice depended primarily on their own goals and aspirations.As for the media, the respondents tended to look for infor­mation on official websites and in official documents.Such a preference for ob­jective information indicated a respon­sible approach to choice-making.They did not regard social networks or the­matic forums as a basis for an educated decision, which we interpreted as a positive trend.The students commend­ably turned to their parents for advice, but the majority of them clearly preferred the variant with their own opinions and desires.

To assess the awareness about the concept of tailored academic path, we asked the respondents to choose the correct definition.The definitions were provided by experts and obtained from teachers that worked with individual aca­demic trajectories [24].About half of the participants (48%) provided correct inter­pretation (Fig. 2) and described it as an individual learning path and a sequence of obtaining knowledge and its content.

A similar number of respondents (39%) were partially informed about the phenomenon and chose such answers as individual path and individual strategy.

Few participants (13%) chose such wrong variants as directed activity and academic course.

The next question tested the under­standing of the concept of digital academic environment.The correct answers were also provided by the focus groups.The introduc­tory paragraph of this article described the concept based on regulatory documents and the Federal Project on Digital Academic Environment.The focus groups provided a number of interpretations, which is impor­tant in situations of subjective choice.

More than half of the survey partici­pants (52%) chose the partially correct interpretation, i.e., a set of resources and a pedagogical system.Only 9% gave the correct answer: an open set of information systems and an open set of different information systems.Finally, 39% of respondents demonstrated a low level of awareness (Fig.3).

Responding to My ideas about my future: what shall I do after graduation?, the students covered the entire range of option answers (Table 1).

A quarter of the respondents had vague ideas about their future, which they associated more with external cir­cumstances than with their personal agency. However, more than a third of the respondents were aware of their own capabilities and the need to apply their own efforts to achieve their goal. We compared the results by distributing the responses into groups based on the major (Tables 2, 3). The differences proved significant: the students of technical engineering and pedagogy gave more correct answers while those that majored in other directions usually gave partially correct answers.The differences proved to be significant, but in this case the empirical rela-

tive X2 exceeded critical relative X2 to a lesser degree than in the previous ques­tion.On average, the students were less informed about the essence of digital academic environment than about that of tailored academic path.

To determine the main academic choice strategy, we used the method of extracting and analyzing arguments dur­ing choice-making developed by D.A. Le­ontiev and N.V. Pilipko [8].Choice is an internal activity of constructing founda­tions and semantic criteria to compare available options.The students were asked to choose one statement they agreed with.We used the data obtained in our pilot study where we defined cri­teria for evaluating alternatives [13].The students were to correlate the proposed statements with one of four strategies for planning the academic path.The semantic strategy was connected with semantic arguments.The I-strategy involved assessing the choice through the prism of one’s abilities, inclinations, and skills.The activity strategy referred to the features of education itself and the future professional activity.The situational strategy could be described as situational-opportunistic reasoning (Table 4).

Most students appealed to semantic arguments to make a choice, as well as to their capabilities, inclinations, abilities, and skills.The participants were less likely to use the activity strategy associ­ated with a future job with a good income and stability.The revealed preferences might indicate that most students were not ready to predict their professional fu­ture, and therefore relied on their internal resources, meanings, and abilities in their choice for academic opportunities.Few students preferred the situational strat­egy, according to which the choice of the academic direction cannot be planned in advance and depends on each specific situation.

The strategies were not associated with the major (Х2emp.=8.3, p>0.05) and were almost equally distributed in differ­ent groups of students.

Conclusion

In the context of global digitalization, the determinants that guide students in their choice of academic path are an important research issue: young people have to choose their future responsibly, understand the consequences of their choice, and select the right ways to achieve their goals.The digital trans­formation of education has one practi­cal condition: personal agency of each student in determining their education goals and content.Personal agency is a conscious and responsible attitude of each student as a participant in glo­balization processes.Personal agency provides skills and helps to achieve

goals throughout the entire life.The empirical data obtained in this study re­vealed that the students lacked mean­ingfulness and awareness of their own attitudes.In their choice-making, they had almost the same preferences for websites as they did for parental advice.However, most respondents were guid­ed by their own opinions and desires.They demonstrated different degrees of awareness in terms of understand­ing the essence of digital academic en­vironment and tailored academic path.The differences in their ideas about the future were also significant, but the majority saw their future as depending on external circumstances, not on their own choice.

The described empirical data tes­tify to the manifestations of the subject position and the variability of strategies for determining the academic path.The participants had consistent and ad­equate ideas about tailored academic path.About 50% of them gave the correct interpretation to the essential characteristics of digital academic envi­ronment as an individual learning path and a sequence of obtaining knowledge and its content.More than half of the participants chose partially correct an­swers.However, their responses to the questions connected with the essence of choice and one’s own role in its im­plementation were fragmented.The responses to the question about the na­ture of tailored academic path depended on the major.The students that majored in Technical Sciences, Education, and Pedagogy gave more correct answers, while those from other groups mostly chose partially correct variants.The stu­dents were generally less well-informed about digital academic environment.

Most students relied on the semantic strategy while choosing their future aca­demic path.However, their image of the future did not coincide with their ideas about how to achieve the future goals.While personal agency depended on the major, the differences in choice strate­gies were not affected by this factor.

In general, the identified features of personal agency and choice strategies showed that the students were not ready to plan their own academic path.

The results obtained might be a spe­cial case of age patterns.The period between 17 and 25 sees an active for­mation of ideals, values, and attitudes to oneself and others.On the other hand, they might have been caused by the ob­jective difficulties connected with gender-related variations in personal agency and choice strategies, which is a prospective research topic.
