Types of control:

Current - participation in discussions at the seminar, preparation of reports, completion of tests (carried out in the 6-7th week of mastering the discipline in test form).

Final - test (carried out in the form of a written detailed answer to two questions from a list compiled by the teacher (sample questions are given in the program)).

All forms of current and final control are assessed on a 10-point scale.

Calculation of the final grade by discipline:

Assessments for all forms of current control are assigned coefficients that determine their weight in the final assessment:

- participation in discussions at the seminar will account for 20% of the final grade,

Making presentations at seminars – 20%,

Completing the test - 20%,

Completing a practical task (preparing, conducting a sociological study, analyzing and presenting the results) - 30%.

Attendance is taken into account when assigning grades for the discipline. Penalty points are calculated using the formula:

ШБ = N missed classes - 1
Thus, the assessment for current control is given according to the formula:
ABOUT current = 0.2*O discussion + 0.2*O report + 0.2*O control + 0.3*O practical – 0.5*SB

The final grade is formed by summing the accumulated grade, which will be 60% of the final grade, and the test grade, which will be 40% of the final grade.

The assessment for current control is given according to the formula:

ABOUT result. = 0,6* ABOUT current + 0,4* ABOUT test

Doctor of Philosophy, Professor Kravchenko S.A.

MGIMO – 2004
The program of the discipline “Sociology” is compiled in accordance with the requirements (of the federal component) for the mandatory minimum content and level of training of a certified specialist in the cycle “General humanitarian and socio-economic disciplines” of the state educational standard of higher professional education of the second generation.

The program is aimed at students and listeners of the faculties of MG, MP, MO, FP MGIMO (U) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia. Its features are:

– presentation of the material in multi-paradigmatic interpretation, which allows listeners to see the strengths and weaknesses of the main sociological theories, the possibility of their application only in specific spatial and temporal coordinates;

– taken into account cultural diversity through a comparative analysis of Russian realities with their Western and Eastern analogues, which contributes to the formation of a tolerant attitude towards other cultures;

– emphasis is placed on development sociological imagination, which helps to see the latent aspects of social phenomena, teaches to diagnose abnormal deviations from the norm in the development of social institutions and relationships, to develop methods of “treatment” and preventive prevention of social “diseases” through the development of public relations.

Purpose of the course: to acquaint students with the generally recognized property of modern world sociological knowledge in accordance with the requirements of the mandatory state educational standard.

The main emphasis is on presenting in a concentrated form the main characteristics of society as a sociocultural system, showing the interaction and mutual influence of its various components and processes.

In the 90s, sociological science took a qualitative step in its development - fundamentally new social theories appeared, which constituted the so-called postclassical sociology. The author of the course strives to make them available to students, seeing in this the prerequisites for a truly de-ideologized, scientific analysis of the modern world community.

At the same time, students will also receive a fairly complete understanding of classical generally accepted theories, each of which, using its own tools, contributes to the general understanding of society and the social actions of people. From the variety of sociological paradigms, those that are generally recognized and widely presented in the best modern Russian and foreign sociology textbooks have been selected. In this case, a “flexible” manner of presentation of sociological theories is assumed: in all cases, both their strengths and weaknesses are noted.

The theoretical material is presented primarily in the context of modern Russian society. At the same time, comparisons of the sociocultural realities of our country with other societies and cultures are widely used.
Course objectives:
– study of the main stages in the development of world sociological thought, including classical, modern sociological theories and currently being created postmodern sociological theories;

– study of society as a special social reality and an integral self-regulating system;

– consideration of the main social institutions that carry out the production and reproduction of social relations;

– in the context of different sociological paradigms, the study of socio-cultural trends in the development of societies, mechanisms of social change; objective and subjective social reality;

– understanding the complex nature of personality, the process of its socialization, the role of the main agents of socialization; ways of adaptation of individuals to socio-cultural realities, processes of desocialization and resocialization;

– study of personality and masses; collective conscious and unconscious;

– understanding of interpersonal interaction, role conflicts, ways to resolve them;

– study of socio-cultural dynamics at the global and local levels, challenges to the global community;

– study of changes in post-socialist societies with an emphasis on their characteristics in Russia.

Place of the course in the system of general professional training of a specialist.

Sociology is an interdisciplinary science that contains the foundations of knowledge of a number of natural, social and humanitarian disciplines. She is closely connected and influenced by such sciences as mathematics, demography, economics and social statistics, computer science, which help her in the study of all spheres of society. We especially note the connection between sociology and the social sciences.

Sociology and history. Sociology as a science of society includes the essential forms and functions of historical knowledge, uses the methodology and theory of historical science, methods and sources of their study, studies domestic historiography, world history, which is the fundamental basis of the history of sociology.

Sociology and social philosophy. Social philosophy in sociology is considered as the highest level of theoretical generalization of social phenomena and processes, revealing the features of the philosophical view of society.

Sociology and social psychology. Social psychology is an interdisciplinary field of knowledge. In it, society is viewed as a mechanical set of individual acts studied in the psyche, behavior and activity.

Sociology and political science. Political science, studied by sociologists, reveals the role and place of politics in the life of modern societies, political relations and processes, political organizations and movements, sociocultural aspects of politics, world politics and international relations, national-state interests of Russia in the new geopolitical situation, etc.

Sociology and cultural studies. Culturology reveals the basic concepts of culture, cultural values, traditions and norms; a typology of cultures and social cultural institutions is given.

Sociology and social anthropology. Social anthropology, a discipline related to sociology, considers culture as a way of life for individuals and society.

Requirements, methodology, control over the course: the main form in teaching the course is lectures . Each topic has a specific “thesaurus” - a set of basic concepts that will enrich the scientific language of students and help them develop the foundations of sociological thinking. To increase the effectiveness of lectures, it is supposed to read them in the form of a dialogue with the audience. The student must learn to use theoretical knowledge to understand and actively influence people's behavior in various complex situations. Knowledge control form: MJ – written test on knowledge of theories and sociological terminology, informational analytical report, exam; MO – test; MP – test.
