In the dissertation on the basis of the theoretical analysis of a problem the efficiency of a technique of social education of student youth in Christian denominations of the peoples of the Northern Azov region is developed, theoretically substantiated and experimentally checked.
The work presents a theoretical understanding of the cognitive potential of cultural practices of representatives of different religions, when features of national characteristics and religious preferences form certain mental patterns that play the role of prescriptions for behavior in a given cultural community, as well as socio-cultural constants. Therefore, in modern information and communication society, finding ways and methods to create a situation of optimal agreement, the range of tolerance is a key task of both public policy and modern methodological science aimed at achieving social trust as a factor of economic growth, social stability and personal security. The research covers a range of issues related to the analysis of substantive and categorical-formal ways of social education of student youth, including in a pragmatic dimension - through the procedural nature of social education (basic mechanisms of socialization, social impact on student, programs and methods of social development, etc.) , as well as through content (ideas of social education, theories of socialization, laws, basic approaches to social education, etc.). This complex can be an important arsenal for representatives of the socio-cultural sphere, modern teachers and social services, educators of Sunday schools and more.
It was found that most of the representatives of the Northern Azov region belonged to Christian denominations (Orthodoxy, Protestantism, Catholicism) and these representatives had the greatest impact on the social education of people by instilling them the norms of Christian ethics. In a multi-religious surroundings, the problem of social education becomes particularly acute, because students do not always demonstrate a high level of social responsibility, social accomplishment and social activity, and therefore cannot always communicate freely, reveal themselves as a social person, overcome those social barriers that appear in front of them.
Social education of student youth is determined not only by the causes of contradictions in the processes of its socialization. Among the set of various problems, a number of the most relevant ones are singled out, which are in the political, economic, religious, and cultural planes. Currently, in the paradigm of social education in Christian denominations, the processes of transformation in the religious sphere of Ukraine, due to both the state policy in the field of religions and the religious needs of society itself, are gaining more importance. It is proven that the peoples of the Northern Azov region, as well as other European nations, have a peculiar system of social education, and Christian religion has become its spiritual basis. The key to the normalization of relations in society, and, consequently, well-being, is the observance of Christian commandments of love. Relations between people of different religions and ethnic groups, who moved to the territory of the Northern Azov region, from ancient times should attract more attention from specialists in the social sphere, education and culture.
Based on the analysis of a broad paradigm of scientific research that directly or indirectly affects this topic, we have identified that the problem of social education of students can be solved in the process of educational activities, with attention to a number of ideas, including the formation of social responsibility , gaining experience in implementing social skills.
