The All-Russian Forum of Student Education Quality Committees and Student Opinion Research Centers, "Exploring Students," was held at the State University of Management. This significant event brought together approximately 100 representatives from 30 Russian universities, who came together to discuss development directions for a reliable system for researching the needs and concerns of students and their communities.
The forum's geography was quite extensive: from Kaliningrad to Chelyabinsk and from Surgut to Stavropol. This diversity of participants created a unique atmosphere for exchanging experiences and opinions, which allowed for the identification of common challenges faced by students in different regions.
At the opening ceremony, those gathered were greeted by Pavel Pavlovsky, Vice-Rector of the State University of Management, and Nikolai Zhdanov, Chairman of the All-Russian Public Youth Movement "Association of Students and Student Associations of Russia."
"I sincerely believe we need to conduct as much diverse research as possible. Today, there's a huge demand from young people for decision-making power. Only when students themselves participate in the discussion of their position in society will they lose the sense of being mere figurines and develop a sense of belonging to their homeland," Pavel Pavlovsky emphasized.
Together with experts from the Association of Trainers of the Russian Union of Youth, Forum participants worked in three workshops:
"Opinion Research," where students went from research conception to product development—a kinesthetic questionnaire and in-depth interviews. "Solution Formation," where students learned tools for problem solving, idea generation, and hypothesis testing. "Interaction with Administration," where activists attempted to view student initiatives through the eyes of management and create tools for effective interaction.
To obtain optimal feedback and improve the productivity of further work within the educational component, separate blocks were devoted to assessing the quality of the program.
At the forum's closing, participants discussed the results and held an informal ceremony to initiate participants into the All-Russian public youth movement "Association of Students and Student Associations of Russia."
Based on the results, a methodological guide for the work of education quality commissions and student opinion research centers will be published.
It should be noted that the forum is organized by the State University of Management and the Association of Students and Student Organizations of Russia. It is being held with a grant from the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs (Rosmolodezh) and with the assistance of the Student Council of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia, the 14-35 Center for Sociological Research, and the Commission of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation for the Development of Higher Education and Science.
