Diagnosis of Young People’s Ability to Cooperate in the Educational Sphere

In today’s rapidly evolving socio-economic landscape, cooperation is a vital competence for successful socialization and professional growth. The ability to interact effectively in groups, work collaboratively, and adapt to diverse situations is crucial for both individual development and social integration. The aim of the study is to test a model for developing youth cooperation technologies. The main objectives include adjusting the current skill levels, developing a socio-pedagogical program, and analyzing its effectiveness. The research methodology is based on the use of tests, case studies, reflective practices, and statistical data processing methods. The experiment involved 264 individuals aged 17 to 23, representing various social groups and having prior experience in social activities. The study results indicated that most participants demonstrated a low level of cognitive activity, while the emotional and motivational component was at a high level. The proposed model is expected to enhance cognitive and entrepreneurial competence. The value of this work lies in the development of an effective diagnostic toolkit and a program for fostering competence in cooperation, contributing to the advancement of socio-cultural activity methodologies. The practical innovation consists of the applicability of the developed model for working with young people in the educational sphere.
