Improving the quality of training of future sociologists by means of digital education

Abstract

Despite the existence of "various models of vocational training in European institutions of higher education, the formation of professional qualities is one of the main tasks that is solved due to the applied orientation of the content of education, the integration of academic disciplines, a large amount of practice, the use of active teaching methods: trainings, training workshops, cooperative learning methods" and the advantages of the modern educational digital space. The experience of professional training of a future sociologist in Russia highlights the insufficient focus of curricula and programs on the formation of professional qualities, the dominance of traditional education, focused primarily on mastering the system of sociological knowledge, skills and abilities. Consequently, the direction of the national professional training of the future sociologist on the formation of professional qualities is a necessary condition for integration into the European educational space and the competitiveness of future specialists. This is evidenced by the comparative analysis of the experience of professional training of a future sociologist in leading European and domestic institutions of higher education.
