Abstract:

The article examines the problem of the relationship between the processes of education and educative work, which is relevant for Russian higher education, in the aspect of the formation of civic identity.

The amendments to the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation” concerning the education of students, resulted in the necessity of establishing the relationship between the general cultural and general professional competencies of academic disciplines and areas of educational work at the University.
The competence-based approach is the priority orientation of education towards its results: the formation of the necessary general cultural and professional competencies, self-determination, socialization, the development of individuality and self-actualization. An integral element of young people socialization is civic identity.

Civic identity is defined as the awareness of belonging to a community of citizens, which has a value meaning for subjects, expressed in the cognitive, value-semantic and behavioral vectors of sociocultural activities.
The purpose of this article is to clarify the content of the structural components of civic identity in accordance with the competence-based approach in higher education.

The main method is a comparative research one, through which a correlation will be made between the general cultural and general professional competencies of the enlarged group “Fine and Applied Arts” of the bachelor’s degree programme with the definitions of the cognitive, value-emotional, and regulatory components of civic identity used in the special scientific literature.

The study is supposed to result in updating, in accordance with federal standards, the definitions of the structural elements of civic identity, necessary for the development of artistic socio-cultural practices aimed at the formation of civic identity among the students of the creative University.
