Mathematical tools for updating the value profile of environmental university programs’ students

Abstract

The article presents a mathematical tool of the value profile of students studying at environmental university programs in Russia. A theoretical review of modern literature confirmed the special relevance of the formation of the value profile of future environmentalists and defined a theoretical model of values for the development of indicators of empirical research. On the basis of a random sample we developed and conducted a survey of 1127 people studying in the areas of “Ecology”, “Ecology and Nature Management”, “Environmental Monitoring” in regional universities of Russia. The questionnaire database was processed in the SPSS program (version 26). Respondents evaluated the list of values of personal development and values in terms of life and positioning themselves in society during the survey. A structural mathematical model of the value profile of future environmentalists was performed by Rotation Method: Varimax with Kaiser Normalization. We identified five structural elements of the current value model of environmentalists of Russia. The results are important for the subsequent analysis and adjustment of university educational programs and the achievement of strategic professional tasks facing future environmentalists in accordance with the goals of national development of Russia until 2030.
